Chapter 82 Hong Kong Entertainment Industry
Yongsheng's investment in films in recent years can only be said to be barely good, relying on a few old actors and a few old directors to support, the resources in Xiangjia's hands are still good, but with the shrinking film market in Hong Kong, if the external market is not transformed, even Yongsheng will not be able to hold on, and the current situation is that Jiahe can no longer hold on, and he has sold his own film library.
So when Shen Zhenghui received such a warm call in the Hong Kong office of Kasuga Pictures, he was naturally able to understand this capitalist society more deeply, and the bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry on the phone were very polite and enthusiastic, Lin Jian specially said on the phone when he called that he should not take his female companion to dinner, Shen Zhenghui could only smile and say euphemistically that there was no way, because the bodyguards were all women.
For this kind of excessive enthusiasm, Shen Zhenghui feels that he is not very adaptable, he himself was ** silk in his previous life, and this life has been smooth, and he has never known what it looks like for a decent person to lose his reserved side. Although there is a chance to see it right now, Shen Zhenghui is still a little afraid of this kind of scene. So he asked Lin Jian on the phone if he could merge the meeting with Mr. and Mrs. Xiang, and if possible, he even wanted to merge Wang Jiasheng's meeting together, these people were not the purpose of his trip, but for the sake of business relations, it was obviously not a reliable decision.
Lin Jian was also very depressed about this, but what he thought was that meeting together had the advantage of meeting together, and it was enough to find a chance to meet in private, anyway, Shen Zhenghui would have to stay in Hong Kong for a while. The rumor he received was that Kasuga Pictures wanted to invest in a few Hong Kong films, the boss who had just mastered Uniasia was still very nervous, and he was very concerned about this kind of investment that was very likely to be pulled, correspondingly, Yongsheng was not a problem with funds, they had eaten the sweetness of Japanese films, although Kasuga Pictures was still a small character in the Japanese film industry, but it seemed to have a strong momentum, and the most important thing was that it seemed to look at Hong Kong films differently, so Yongsheng wanted to pull the relationship, with the help of this Japanese channel.
"Gambler 1999" and "Gambler vs. Las Vegas" are just appetizers, and Yongsheng hopes to build a long-term relationship so that all of his films can be sold in Japan.
So Lin Jian asked Mr. Xiang to have dinner together, Mr. Xiang and his wife agreed, and the two of them made careful preparations for this, and Mrs. Xiang specially called his goddaughter Zhang Zhizhi to the banquet together.
On the other hand, Lin Jian probably knew that Shen Zhenghui would bring a female companion, so he only brought his female companion Lin Xi to attend the banquet held for Shen Zhenghui.
Lin Jian and Mr. Xiang are both big shots, in addition to bringing people into the hotel, they also stayed in the hall with bodyguards to eat and wait. Shen Zhenghui was much colder, and brought all his people with Zhu Xing and Ye, but there were only four people, and there was only one driver, when he arrived at the Regent Hotel, Lin Jian and Lin Xi, Mr. and Mrs. Xiang stood at the door and greeted Shen Zhenghui warmly, Shen Zhenghui shook hands with the big man who could not have close contact with him in his previous life, and the driver was entertained away by Lin Jian and the driver of Xiang's family, Shen Zhenghui took two women and acted as an assistant Zhu Xinghe also walked into the booked suite under the warm greeting of the host.
Chinese eat, there is a lot of trouble, everyone for the position of the matter of the humble for a while, and finally Lin Jian as a guest to sit in the main seat - according to Shen Zhenghui is the position of paying the bill, Shen Zhenghui sat on Lin Jian's right hand, Mr. Xiang naturally wanted to sit next to Shen Zhenghui, Mrs. Xiang sat next to Mr. Xiang, Lin Xi sat on Lin Jian's left hand, Lin Jian asked her to entertain Qingnuma Zhizhao, Qingnuma Zhizhao sat next to Lin Xi, Mrs. Xiang originally wanted to let Zhang Zhizhi sit next to Shen Zhenghui, the plan failed, Zhang Zhizhi had no choice but to sit next to Tomoaki Aonuma. Zhuxing Kazuya and Fujido Xiangcheng sat with their backs to the door, and Shen Zhenghui and his party were dismantled.
The characteristic of the Chinese is to talk about things at the dinner table, and the main force in this discussion is Mr. Xiang. Lin Jian has just taken control of Uniasia Company, and his strength is still very weak due to lack of funds, and what he wants now is to cheat some Japanese money to invest in making movies and then sell them to Japan, and his confidence is very insufficient.
Mr. Xiang is different, Yongsheng relies on his special relationship in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and uses stars to make films every year to maintain the amount of films. Mr. Xiang doesn't have much pressure on his funds, what he wants to talk about most is the trip to Japan, Kasuga Pictures has bought out Yongsheng's "Gambler 1999" and "Gambler vs. Las Vegas", and they also helped Jiahe to travel in Japan "Storm and Clouds" and "Chinese Heroes". Jiahetong guò box office share, earning much more than Yongsheng, which makes Mr. Xiang very unconvinced, he now has two films in his hand at the end of the year, and feels very sure that he is ready to recommend them to Kasuga Pictures, one is "The Legend of Chariot of Fire 2 Urgent", and the other is "Dark War". In these two films, one is the most popular Zheng Yimian as the protagonist, and the other is Liu Tianwang as the protagonist. When he invested in Mr. Xiang, he thought that recovering costs was not a problem, and now he wants more.
The most coincidental thing is that the two heroines of "Chariots of Fire 2 Rush Legend" were present.
Mrs. Xiang very enthusiastically introduced her goddaughter to Shen Zhenghui, and asked Zhang Zhizhi to come over to toast.
Facing Zhang Zhizhi Shen Zhenghui only smiled faintly, this was also the goddess in the minds of many otaku including Shen Zhenghui, right now, Zhang Zhizhi, who is just nineteen years old, does not look mature and sexy enough, but young and innocent enough, but if she knows what kind of things will happen to her in the future, no matter how beautiful she looks, she can't wash away that bad impression.
Shen Zhenghui didn't have the idea of saving her from water and fire, and after having a drink with her lightly, he raised his glass again and looked at Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, meet again, you are more beautiful than the last time you were in Tokyo." ”
Lin Xi smiled and stood up and picked up the cup, "Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for your hospitality last time." ”
"No, no," Shen Zhenghui stretched out his hand and patted Lin Jian's shoulder, "I was too busy at the time to entertain Chairman Lin well!" Now that I'm in Hong Kong, I'm in trouble with you. ”
Lin Jian smiled and said, "It's my honor to entertain Mr. Shen and Miss Qingnuma!" ”
Mrs. Xiang couldn't help muttering in her heart, does this girl like to be more mature? Zhizhi is too green for him to look down on?
Mr. Xiang also picked up the cup and stood up, "Mr. Shen, as a Chinese, representing a Japanese company, you should promote more cooperation between our Hong Kong films and Japanese films, I and Mr. Lin are here to say a word, if you want to make a movie in Hong Kong, tell us, any star can be invited over." ”
Lin Jian hurriedly added, "If you need any Hong Kong actors to make a movie in Japan, let's just talk about it." ”
"Yes, yes," Mrs. Xiang also stood up, "Our Zhizhi and Miss Lin Xi are both very good actors. I don't know if you've seen their works? I'll send vnetbsp when the time comes; Mr. Xiang added, "I gave Mr. Shen a copy of the VCD of the movie made by Yongsheng. ”
"Thank you so much," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "I bought "Gambler vs. Las Vegas", how could I not have seen Miss Lin's acting skills?" ”
Lin Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and Zhang Zhizhi looked a little embarrassed.
"I also like Stephen Zhou, I have seen all his movies, and Miss Zhang's performance in "The King of Comedy" is also very good."
Zhang Zhizhi smiled a little reluctantly.
Mrs. Xiang immediately said, "Mr. Shen, don't you know, when we Zhizhi was filming Stephen Zhou's movie, I don't know how much suffering we suffered, Stephen Zhou is a very bad temper, irritable and rude, when he was not popular, we took care of him so much, he is now the boss, and he simply doesn't take anyone in his eyes." The more Mrs. Xiang spoke, the more excited she became, and she almost stood up.
Mr. Xiang patted her hand and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Uchiko is a temperamental, so I'm so excited." ”
Mrs. Xiang began to wipe her tears with a tissue, "I can't mess with him now," she called, "He doesn't even treat other people as human beings, look at Zhizhi," she pointed at Zhang Zhizhi, "Zhizhi signed a film contract with him, he actually asked Zhizhi to shave her head, and told Zhizhi not to take the film for half a year, such a person ......" Mrs. Xiang did not continue, because Mr. Xiang whispered something in her ear, so Mrs. Xiang used the sobbing that women are used to to strengthen the affection. The whole scene became awkward for a while.
Shen Zhenghui then turned his head to look at Lin Jian, "Mr. Lin, is your relationship with ATV still there?" How many Japanese dramas do we have in our hands, I don't know if ATV is not interested? ”
"Mr. Shen, is it "Sister's Boyfriend"?" Lin Xi next to him reacted before Lin Jian, "The little girls inside are so cute." ”
"Thank you, in fact, the second part is also made, and it will be released soon, this one is mainly played by me and Zhizhao." Shen Zhenghui said.
Lin Xi's eyes turned to make contact with Tomoaki Aonuma, "I heard that the ratings of the first part are more than 2o%, and if the second part is also like this, it will be amazing." ”
"Thank you so much for Hong Kong's director of Sunglasses, if he hadn't taken Takuya Kimura away this year, we wouldn't have achieved such results."
"What's the matter, this film is also very good." Lin Xi hurriedly responded.
Lin Jian interjected at this time, "ATV, I'm just a shareholder, let me help you ask, if it's such an excellent TV series, I think ATV will also introduce it." ”
"ATV's "I Have a Date with a Zombie" also has good results!"
Lin Jian smiled, "The two leading actors have run away, what's the use!" ”
Seeing that the conversation about TV dramas was so energetic, Mrs. Xiang also felt that she seemed to be self-defeating, so she restrained her expression, got up and pulled Zhang Zhizhi over to toast Shen Zhenghui again, Mr. Xiang also lost a glass of sorry for his wife's affection, Shen Zhenghui naturally said indifferently that it didn't matter.
So Mr. Xiang continued, "Next year, I plan to gather the top stars from Hong Kong and Big 6 to shoot a big-scale movie, and I am ready to cooperate with China Film Company of Big 6, I don't know if Mr. Shen is interested." ”
"Oh? Who are the stars? Shen Zhenghui seemed to show an interested look.
"Yi Mian and Liu Tianwang, Zhao Weiwei of the big 6," Mr. Xiang glanced at Lin Jian, "Wang Zhenzhen, who played "I Have a Date with a Zombie", is only a few for the time being," he glanced at Tomoaki Aonuma again, "Is Mr. Shen interested in investing?" ”
"What kind of movie is it?" Although he already knew which movie it was in his heart, Shen Zhenghui still pretended not to know and asked.
"Costume martial arts dramas," Mr. Xiang said, "Mr. Wen Jun After investigation, the audience still wants to watch martial arts dramas, so we are ready to invest in filming a martial arts masterpiece." ”
"What's the budget?"
"Sixty million Hong Kong dollars." Mr. Xiang replied succinctly.
"It's over 800 million yen, and it's really a huge production." Shen Zhenghui nodded.
"The story based on Gu Long's novel must be very marketable." Mr. Xiang continued to bewitch.
Nima, if the box office of this film can be as much as your investment, even if you burn high incense, expect me to send you money to burn, when I am a fool, you will wait for this film to be sold to foreign merchants in the future to return to the capital, and I will definitely give you a conscience price when the time comes.
So Shen Zhenghui smiled slightly, "Mr. Xiang," he said, "I'm very interested in the two films you just mentioned, "Dark War" and "The Legend of Chariot of Fire 2", why don't we talk about it sometimes?" ”
"Okay, okay." Mr. Xiang smiled, not embarrassed at all because Shen Zhenghui changed the topic.
