Chapter 202. Vertical and horizontal

If the filming of "The True Color of Heroes" went smoothly in the early stage, then with the development of the storyline, it encountered difficulties in the later stage.

This time, it was no longer Wu Zhenyu who was stuck in acting, but Fa Ge, who was once praised by Duan Zihao.

That's right, it's Fa Ge.

No one would have imagined that more than half of the filming of this drama, he was continuously stuck by Duan Zihao, and even Brother Dillon and Leslie Cheung were a little unbelievable. Because in their opinion, the best actor in this play, and the hardest worker, is Fa Ge, but he suddenly ...... Could it be that something is going on at home? Or something happened?

Only Duan Zihao knew that Fa Ge had encountered a "bottleneck" at this time, to be precise, when he was striding towards the road of "God of Acting", he encountered ups and downs.

Regarding this, Duan Zihao knows but also understands in his heart that outsiders like himself can't do anything to break through the bottleneck like this, so he can only let Fa Ge relax, take a good rest, and don't think too much.

But how could Zhou Yunfa be the kind of person who could be relieved? Seeing that the work of the entire crew was dragged down by himself, he was anxious.

As a result, the mood is even more depressed.

In the end, I saw that Fa Ge locked himself at home and didn't call, as if he was closed. Duan Zihao couldn't help but be a little worried, so he found a time and drove to the place where Fa Ge lived.

Knock on the door, no one answers.

Duan Zihao tried to open the door, but the door opened in response.

Duan Zihao strode in, and immediately smelled a strong smell of wine.

The smell of alcohol is very strong, and the nose is choked.

The light in the room was dim, so Duan Zihao had to reach out and turn on the light on the wall.

Then I saw Fa Ge lying on the sofa, and the floor was full of beer cans, instant noodles, and newspapers. But the most eye-catching thing is the script on his face.

Duan Zihao walked over and took away the script of "The True Color of Heroes". Then he shouted to Fa Ge: "Wake up......"

Fa Ge opened his eyes in a daze, and after seeing Duan Zihao clearly, he said, "It's you......"

"Why, you look depressed!" Duan Zihao asked.

"yes, the role positioning is a little uncertain, I think it's terrible." Fa Ge closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Now my mind is full of little brother Ma wandering, and I'm going crazy." ”

"You're too into the play, Brother Fa, you need to rest."

"I'm not resting yet, am I? I'm dying of boredom! Fa Ge picked up a can of beer and opened it. Hand it to Duan Zihao. I took another can myself.

"Tell me, where are you stuck?" Duan Zihao asked after taking a sip of wine.

"I don't know, I just think...... Little Brother Ma's blood can't be found in me, it's too calm......" Fa Ge said ambiguously.

Duan Zihao smiled, "If you don't have blood, then fill yourself with blood!" ”

"Filled with blood?" Fa Ge was a little dazed, he didn't understand, how could the blood be filled?

Duan Zihao was surprised when he saw him, so he continued: "A lot of times. When we watch TV dramas, movies, and newspapers and books, we are all impulsive because of a certain story and a certain plot. If you're feeling empowered and passionate, you can use these elements to improve your control over your character's passion. You don't have to fit in and create your own passion. ”

"With the help of external forces?" Fa Ge asked.

"Yes." Duan Zihao said, "Sometimes some things don't need to be taken too seriously. If you take it too seriously, it's easy to get into the horns, we are actors, not scientists, so we don't need to be so harsh. ”

Fa Ge smiled, "When you say that, I'm really a little too serious...... yes, it's just a role, I'll just play him well, why bother so hard. ”

Duan Zihao patted him on the shoulder, "Yes, don't work too hard, acting is actually a happy thing, if the originally happy thing becomes unhappy, then you will lose interest." ”

Fa Ge smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I think you are more like a psychologist than a boss." ”

Duan Zihao: "Sometimes I think you are more like a dashing prodigal son than an actor. ”

The two of them burst out laughing.

……

I have to say that after Duan Zihao's enlightenment, Fa Ge finally broke through his psychological barrier, and in the next shooting, he played the role of Xiao Ma to the fullest.

At least, in the eyes of many people, this drama is very well acted and filmed.

But what's even more exciting is Leslie Cheung, who starred in this play, and he won the Asia-Pacific Best Actor award for his last play "The True Story of A Fei". For him, this belated award also gave him a little comfort in the frustration of the golden statue.

For this reason, Duan Zihao took time out of his busy schedule to fly to the awards ceremony in Thailand to celebrate Leslie Cheung and celebrate that he won the first film award in his life. Similarly, "The True Story of A Fei", which is also celebrating the actor entertainment company, defeated the Japanese "Love in the River" and won the best picture and best actor.

At the same time, Duan Zihao has the impression that Xu Ke's "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the future seems to be able to get the best soundtrack in the Asia-Pacific region, so this Asia-Pacific Film Festival is really his blessed land.

flew back from Thailand, Duan Zihao couldn't care about putting the trophy in hand on the company's display stand, so he began to be busy with the post-production shooting of "The True Color of Heroes" again.

At the same time, Duan Zihao also had to take time to focus on the promotion and packaging of this play, looking forward to a good result after the release.

……

In other words, after being fully funded, Actor Entertainment spent more than 30 million yuan to acquire 50 movie theaters in Hong Kong, the largest of which was renamed "Oscar Cinema".

This old-fashioned cinema has a history of 20 years, and it was originally a Shaw Brothers theater chain, but now that Shaw Brothers has reduced production, there are no movies to be released at all, and it is rented out, and because the equipment is outdated and the decoration is outdated, it cannot be rented for a large price. So, in the end, Shaw decided to sell.

At this moment, Actor Entertainment made a decision to build its own theater chain, so it directly acquired the theater chain liquidated by Shaw Brothers.

It can be said that more than half of the 53 theater chains under Actor Entertainment are the original Shaw Brothers.

When the acquisition of the cinema chain was negotiated, Duan Zihao was deliberately late to consume the temperament of the person in charge of the other party.

Wait for the other party to be impatient, then show up and apologize.

When he sat down to discuss, Duan Zihao said that he didn't go directly to the topic, until the other party couldn't sit still, and then asked about the price.

After the other party offered the bid code, Duan Zihao sent the guest directly, saying that it was a pity that the price code was too high, and the actor entertainment funds were a little insufficient, so he could not cooperate for the time being.

You must know that the person in charge of the other party is going to deal with this matter with the Shaw Brothers Company, and now that a theater chain has not been sold, there is no face.

So I had to say that the price was easy to discuss, and the main thing was that the cooperation was happy.

Duan Zihao sat down again.

Feel the bottom line in the other party's heart and start bargaining.

During this period, the fat man Wang Jing came out again and said that there were other theaters to see, and the price was still very cheap.

This made the person in charge of Shaw Brothers even more anxious, so he exposed the bottom line without paying attention.

Duan Zihao smiled and said, "This price is okay!" ”

In this regard, Actor Entertainment bought more than 30 movie theater chains from Shaw Brothers at the lowest price, plus a total of 53 other acquisitions, becoming a new company with its own theater chain.

In other words, the acquisition of theaters by Actor Entertainment has also caused an uproar in Hong Kong, and the most talked-about thing is not how many cinemas the actor has acquired, but whether Actor Entertainment and Golden Harvest will still cooperate in the future.

You must know that before Actor Entertainment did not have its own cinema line, it always relied on the help of Golden Harvest Film Company to release new films in cinemas.

Now that my company has a theater, whether to kick my old friends away, the biggest premise is that all the movies of Actor Entertainment are ironclad hits, can it be said that Actor Entertainment is willing to let others share the box office results.

Sure enough, soon the board of directors of Actor Entertainment, represented by Duan Zihao, made a statement, "Actor Entertainment and Golden Harvest Company will continue to cooperate in depth!" "The two companies will take on the challenge of the future by joining forces."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar throughout Hong Kong. Especially as Golden Harvest's old rival, Xinyicheng Company, has seen the situation in the Hong Kong film industry after the union of the two strong men.

Two to one, it's very disadvantageous.

So Xinyicheng took the initiative to call Actor Entertainment, hoping that the two sides could also carry out "in-depth cooperation" under friendly conditions.

In this regard, the answer of Actor Entertainment turned out to be - "Yes!" (To be continued......)
