"You?"

Andy tilted his head and looked at him in a daze.

He went to find Jiahe, China Star, Huanya, Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Qiusheng, and consumed a lot of connections, just for this movie, which is hard, only self-knowledge.

But I didn't expect that at this point, a little brother who could only be said to be quite friendly slapped the table: I paid for the 5 million!

Even though Liu Dehua has been immersed in the circle for 20 years, he has seen countless things, and he can't help but be moved, but sensibility is one thing, and reason is another.

He exhaled, eased his feelings, and said: "Qingzai, I told you before, actors don't use their net worth to fight, the risk is too great, we can't afford to lose." What's more, this is five million, and it's not easy for you to be in Hong Kong, I got my heart, and I can't ask for money, so I still contact other companies. ”

"Hey, Brother Hua......"

Chu Qing was just looking at his sincerity to the movie, so he wanted to take a hand, and just about to persuade him, he blinked, his brain spun around quickly, and he changed his words abruptly, and said: "Don't worry, I'm not cast for nothing, uh, can you tell me over there, I think, I want the overseas distribution of this film." ”

Get! Dare to love this product was dazzled by the rich return of "This Summer", and when he saw the film, he mixed up his legs.

"You mean, you want to charter the overseas distribution rights of Infernal Affairs?" Andy was slightly frightened and hurriedly asked.

"Yes, you help pull the strings."

"This ......"

Liu Dehua frowned and was silent for a while.

Media Asia, in fact, is not much of a bullish company, it was only established in 94, and the early stage was particularly bleak, and it has been taking the route of small cost. It wasn't until last year that Lin Jianle bought new shares and became the head of the company, and then carried out reforms. Pull big stars and make big movies.

"Love Like a Dream" is Lin Jianle's first attempt, and the success of the box office made him more sure of the company's development goals, so he had the courage to shoot "Infernal Affairs" this time.

In the early days, the reason why Media Asia was able to survive in the highly competitive market and make a small profit was because of another important business: audio-visual distribution.

Not only local films, but also Japanese, Korean, European and American works will also be imported in large quantities, from videotapes. From VCD and DVD to video products, the audio and video products made by Media Asia have always been the mainstream in the market.

It is through this channel that it has slowly established its own overseas relations, although it is still very, very weak.

Andy is thinking about this, the overseas box office is a utopian rose garden for any company in Hong Kong, full of gold, even if its distribution ability is scum. will not give up this illusory piece of fat lightly.

But theoretically, there is still a possibility of success in this matter, so he muttered again and again and asked: "Qingzai." You tell me, what do you want? ”

"Huh?" Chu Qing didn't understand too much.

"That is, East Asia, Southeast Asia. Europe, North America, where are your goals? I know this. I'll help you talk. ”

"Oh......"

He suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I want all of Europe, if it really doesn't work, you can help me keep a place." ”

"Where?"

"France!"

……

Things were as Liu Dehua expected, Huanya completely slapped his swollen face and became fat, and refused at the beginning.

However, thanks to Andy's peace, Media Asia really wants to find someone to share the risk, and after talking, the minimum guarantee goal has been achieved.

As a result, Chu Qing invested a total of 6 million shares with 5 million funds and 1 million salaries, accounting for about one-fifth of the total. In return, he will participate in box office dividends in proportion to his investment, as well as exclusive distribution rights in France.

Liu Dehua is different, he just filled in the salary in advance, so as not to have a bad turnover, and those who have to be paid off later are not considered investors.

To be honest, in the past 20 years, it has been very difficult to watch Hong Kong movies, but its influence in Europe is really not as good as that of mainland films. Except for Wang's sunglasses, which can occasionally brush and save the zài feeling, the rest are properly on the street, and they are happy to be invited to participate in the exhibition.

At the beginning, Golden Harvest relied on Cheng Long, so awesome to open up the share of North America, but it couldn't enter Europa.

There's no way, the technology tree in the broken place is naturally crooked, and the literary and artistic ones are scared to death, and they don't want to see these crazy workshop movies in Hong Kong at all.

Chu Qing is mainly to help Andy, and getting the distribution right is just a temporary idea, just do it, if it doesn't work, he will also invest money. Because even if there is no "Infernal Affairs", he still has "Incense" and "Night Train", so he has to go to France next year.

What kind of place is France, from "Xiao Wu" to "This Summer", there are seven movies, and the reputation and popularity that have been cushioned one by one are half of his home field!

By the beginning of June, the fundraising stage of "Infernal Affairs" was finally completely OK.

In fact, when Media Asia decided to shoot "Infernal Affairs", it tried to turn it into a co-production, but it is a story that takes place entirely in Hong Kong, and it involves sensitive themes such as police and gangsters. If you want to change it to a script that is in line with mainland screenings, and you have to insert a person with a mainland background to come in, you must tear it down and rebuild it, which will not only fail to catch up with the Christmas schedule, but also cause the plot to be abrupt.

Because the script of "Infernal Affairs" is a story that spans a long time, Media Asia only intercepted the most essential part in the middle. After the fire became popular, when preparing the second and third episodes, I made up the fills in the front and back paragraphs, and made a trilogy of hard water.

What's more, now that they have joined the mainland black households, the mainland is basically closed, and Media Asia has saved its thoughts.

Liu Dehua really loves this movie, and he can't wait to tie up all the excellent actors and stuff them together. himself and Wei Zai's top beam, a Golden Statue Actor * Emperor Zeng Zhiwei, a two-time Golden Statue Actor * Emperor Huang Qiusheng, and a Golden Horse Movie * Emperor Chu Qing as helpers, by the way, caught up with the new generation of Yu Wenle and Chen Guanxi, as well as two Hua Dan Chen Huilin and Zheng Xiuwen......

Such a lineup, from Mak Zhaohui to Liu Weiqiang, to Lin Jianle, all have a feeling of creating a big era.

As for Chu Qingxuan's role, he is stupid and strong.

There is a sense of joy, conflict, tension, four words to describe, wisdom and foolishness. He felt that he was much better than the undercover cop, so he wanted to give it a try.

"Infernal Affairs" is planned to start at the end of July, and Chu Qing does not need to join the group immediately, there is about two months of preparation.

It seems quite fulfilling, don't forget that he still has to go back to get engaged, at least a week, and there is not much time left for figuring out the role.

Silly strong is the standard bastard, walking. Speech, demeanor, and behavior all have their own set of STYLE. He didn't want to repeat the street route in "Crazy Boy", slashing and slashing bare-chested.

People are stupid and strong to follow the big drug * gangsters, and they are going to be high-end.

Of course, the basic homework still has to be done, anyway, this thing is idle, and every day when you are full and have nothing to do, you go to various places to observe:

For example, under the Feng Tower. That's a pimp;

For example, outside the restaurant, it is the parking boy;

For example, upstairs in the sauna, it is a spectator;

For example, bars and nightclubs, that's drug horses.

Different places, different ethnic groups are naturally different, there are hundreds of forms, thousands of details, but in the end they all come together in one place, what Chu Qing wants is this uniqueness.

…………

In the pre-network era. The classification and quantity of information on the Internet have not yet emerged wildly, and netizens are mostly concentrated in a small circle according to their interests and hobbies. And this small circle has two typical types: forums and chat rooms.

Liu Xiaoyong is a movie enthusiast. He doesn't like American blockbusters, but prefers niche art films. When he comes home from work every day, his favorite thing to do is to wait for the movie forum in Xici Hutong - the back window. With a group of like-minded netizens, Balabala.

On this evening in early summer, he turned on his computer as usual and entered Xici* Hutong. After a while, the homepage of the forum swiped out, and after a glance, he was attracted by the two posts at the top.

One is called: "Liar Column: In the Name of Jia Zhangke", and the other is called: "Laughing with Liars".

The authors are all Liar, whose surname is Li, belongs to the first generation of Internet writers, and they are mixed here, with spicy writing, and they are quite famous among the angry youth.

These two posts, the front is an interview with Jia Zhangke, and the back is the author's essay, but the content of them is unfortunately sprayed on a director and his works, Wang Chao and "Anyang Baby".

Liu Xiaoyong clicked on the post and read it carefully: "

Liar: Have you seen Wang Chao's "Anyang Baby"?

Jia Zhangke: I've seen it, I don't like it at all, it's a movie that lacks common sense. There is one place that I don't particularly understand, there is an underworld in it, he went to the hospital for a check-up, and he knew that he had a brain tumor and was dying, do you know what the first thing he said when he came out of the hospital was, he said to his men: Let's go, let's go see the Yellow River.

Liar: Hahahahahahahaha Holy!

Jia Zhangke: I just think...... And then that underworld is still wearing Tang costumes, you know, you think this person hasn't lived. I believe you when you say you're going to have a meal, or say you're going to shoot a cannon, and then you really go to see the Yellow River, and you really stand there and watch the Yellow River, and the other people pee next to it. This behavior ...... Damn, I don't know what he thinks.

But then I kind of understood, because he was too conceptual, and he should have liked one of Isha's poems, saying that we were all peeing when we drove across the Yellow River. belongs to a kind of anti-roots, Wang Chao is looking for concepts from the concept, and he has to pee in the Yellow River of the fifth generation. ”

"Phew!"

Liu Xiaoyong couldn't help but gasp, Tai Nima was sharp, such a grandiose burial of the fifth generation, and it was sent out in a special manner, this is the rhythm of provoking trouble!

As a brain-dead fan of Liar and Jia Zhangke, he immediately had the urge to write a response to support his idol. But I still suppressed my feelings, and clicked on the second article, which was written at the press conference of film critic Cheng Qingsong's new book "My Camera Doesn't Lie", Wang Chao cheered as a guest, and then said something that made the author particularly unhappy:"

A few words from director Wang Chao present made people even more spewful: In the past year, in foreign countries, what I heard was no longer Zhang Yi and Chen Kaige, but "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", "Anyang Baby", and "Suzhou Creek......

Liar was particularly indignant, writing: I don't know how many countries Wang Chao has been to, but I want to ask him, who did you hear about these films, is it the film festival judges you contacted, or the audience?

I don't object to us occasionally pretending to be eggs in life, but to this point, Wang Chao is really a bit too much. Don't say anything about babies, even films like "My Father and Mother", even in Europe, few viewers have appreciated them......

Anyway, to the effect, I was very tired of Wang Chao winning a few broken awards, so he came back and pretended to be forced and sprayed wildly.

After reading the two articles, Liu Xiaoyong had a score and inspiration in his heart, and he typed words for 20 minutes, wrote a comment that should be harmonious, and sent it casually.

He hasn't seen "Anyang Baby", and he doesn't know what kind of movie it is, but Jia Zhangke has said so, Liar has said so, so can it be fake?

Definitely good for nothing! (To be continued......)
