"Brother Long, you are an actor, at most you have the name of a director! Controlling the cost of filming, that's the job of the producer, why do you want to go beyond the bounds? I really don't understand you, the director, the actor and the producer are not in the same group, one wants more money, the other wants lower shooting costs, and if the two can pee into a pot, there will be ghosts! ”

Yes? Cheng Long and his subordinates all looked at Sun Ziming, is this what the owner of a film company should say?

Sun Ziming can't understand what these people think, if the director does the work of a producer, then why do you need to be a producer? Power is to be restricted, so the investor will ask for a producer.

"Don't understand? Chris, when you were an assistant director, what was the most work you did after filming officially started? ”

Chris pointed to his nose, Sun Ziming repeated it in English again, and the ghost shrugged his shoulders and said: "Quarrel, the director wants to exceed the budget by one million, and I told the producer that it will cost two million." After the two quarrel a few times, the director will quarrel again, and the producer will give 1.5 million, an extra 500,000 yuan, and we can make the film better again. ”

After listening to Lao Du's translation, Cheng Long thought for a while and asked hesitantly: "You mean, when we make films in the United States, we have to follow the rules here?" ”

Sun Ziming stared at Cheng Long and said slowly: "Yes, if you become popular here in the future, you will definitely cooperate with other companies." If you can't get used to this, you'll run into walls everywhere in the future. ”

This is half-true, the rules of Hollywood are generally like this, but Sun Ziming is very unhappy that the people of Cheng's family class take his words as wind in their ears, so they take Yu Weigen as a method. These words are just to ease Cheng Long's emotions and give a rhetoric.

Within two minutes, Sun Ziming began to beat these martial artists, "I know that you are unhappy, and I think I didn't give Ah Long face, and I didn't give face to your Cheng family." Lao Tzu will explain to you today that the Hong Kong market is so big, and if you want to make a lot of money, you have to come to the United States. Since you have come to the United States, you have to follow the rules of the United States. If anyone can't adapt to the rules here, then go back to making Hong Kong films, anyway, I have made up my mind, I will never give up if I don't make myself bankrupt. When you were young, you didn't gamble a few times, and you had to wait until you were seventy or eighty to fight? ”

Most of the people in Cheng's class are simple-minded and well-developed limbs, and when they saw Sun Ziming give such a statement, the anger in their hearts slowly calmed down. It's the same everywhere you go, don't you still learn to eat Western food here?

Looking back, Sun Ziming also knocked on Cheng Long and said, "Brother Long, you are the same." I'm going to spend all my money on American films, and if you can't obey me, then I'll have to find another actor. It's not that I don't talk about brotherhood, it's too risky, and I can't afford to lose. ”

Cheng Long can get out of this circle and mix himself into one of the top stars in Hong Kong, why don't you understand? The reason mentioned above is the reason, and now it is the key to be his own horse. People just watched their brothers not listen to him, so they were unhappy and forced themselves to express their position.

Cheng Long's face darkened, but he couldn't refute it. This circle is like this, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, and the shrimp can only gnaw on the mud. Do you think that those female artists are cheap and like to hook up with bosses and directors to sleep, they are all forced out by this world. Those female artists, if they don't find a useful man, which round will a good role get her? For example, Zhang Manyu, the future international actress, if she hadn't let Cheng Long sleep as soon as she debuted, if she hadn't relied on Cheng Long's connections, she would have received a lot of film appointments and practiced her perfect acting skills with a lot of bad movies?

When Cheng Long filmed "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" by himself, Zeng Zhiwei almost made him cry. Later, Zeng Zhiwei joined the light and shadow company, and he was still indignant when he mentioned it. Now that Sun Ziming is a bigger card than him and stronger than any director he has ever come into contact with, it is naturally his turn to hold back.

Cheng Long ate silently, as if he had knocked over the cruet bottle in his heart, and the five flavors were mixed. How many years have I been, and it's not so difficult to force people to turn around?

Sun Ziming is no longer forced, and he is already a bit suspicious of digging people's roots. This boss can be on the throne and has been popular in the film industry for decades, his own life is one thing, and Cheng Jiaban's bravery is also one thing. If he gives up the dominance of Cheng Jiaban, and he doesn't have a bunch of brothers, he is like a tiger without minions, and he can only be his action superstar, how can he still be like now? Without his current status in the rivers and lakes, will the rabbit-toothed shadow queen still cling to him? Will Golden Harvest accommodate him in every possible way?

Hey, there are a lot of martial artists in Hong Kong now, but there are so many outstanding martial artists who dare to fight their lives, who doesn't see it tightly? If Cheng Long hadn't asked for himself and helped himself, Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong would have been recruited by Xu Ke a long time ago, which round would they get themselves?

……

Few of those who can mix in the entertainment industry are really fools, and even the rough men in the Cheng family's class have long learned to observe words and emotions and see the wind and steer. When Chen Ziqiang was doing the work of these people in private, some people wanted to go against the yang and find a better way out for themselves, but when they saw that Sun Ziming had no intention of soliciting, they obeyed Chen Ziqiang. Now everyone saw that the two bigwigs had started a showdown, and a group of people ate quickly, filled their stomachs and left one after another, leaving only Cheng Long and Sun Ziming in the restaurant. It is estimated that in addition to two or three diehards, there must be people who hope that Cheng Long and Sun Ziming will fall out, so that the extremely benevolent director Sun Da will let go of his hands and feet to poach people.

I don't blame them, Cheng Long is good to everyone now, but how can Sun Ziming's strength be strong? People are going to high places, following Brother Cheng Long, at most the income is high, so how high can it go? Xiao Hei is about the same as them, and his salary is lower than theirs, but after this movie, he is likely to earn millions, and it will be worth dollars if he does it well. You must know that the light and shadow company makes action movies, but the martial arts team is tied up with the director team and takes the 5% box office share!

Cheng Long still didn't dare to fall out with Sun Ziming, nearly half of his savings were in this film, and he was weaker than him without this. If you really want to fall out with him, just the nature of this bastard, you must take revenge, except for two or three irons, these people under your command will let him dig everything out and make himself the commander of the light pole. After thinking about it, Cheng Long still opened his mouth first, "Ziming, you are digging my roots, without these brothers, do I still have the status of the rivers and lakes?" ”

"I know the way"

Cheng Long didn't treat Sun Ziming badly, knowing that he wanted to find martial artists and stuntmen, he helped him recruit Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Heping and Ke Shouliang from Taiwan. Now hearing that he knew that he had touched his bottom line and wanted to force himself, Cheng Long couldn't help but feel resentful, "Zhilu Dao, you are still like this? Do you treat Lao Tzu as a brother? ”

Sun Ziming looked at Cheng Long with an angry face, and said without backing down: ", do you treat Lao Tzu as a brother again?" Don't think I don't know what to say, if it weren't for what you confessed, Yu Weigen dared to treat Lao Tzu's words as a fart today? Today is your fate, if you continue like this, one day Lao Tzu will really attend your funeral! , you're doing it yourself! ”

Cheng Long's face was red and white for a while, Sun Ziming was right, it was his manager Chen Ziqiang's idea to let the members of Cheng's family class disobey Sun Ziyang, and it was also his acquiescence. There is only one purpose, to maintain his control over Cheng Jiaban and ensure that his subordinates will not let light and shadow dig into the corners.

Sun Tzu saw that this guy acquiesced, and he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, being able to force this big guy like this is also a great achievement for himself. However, this guy is not a good stubble, and he has to accept it when he sees it, "Okay, Lao Tzu is not interested in your team." Just listen to me while I'm filming. ”

"Really?"

Seeing that Cheng Long was relieved, Sun Ziming said disdainfully: "Lao Tzu has Cheng Xiaodong and Yuan Heping, why do you want these people?" If I really want to dig people, those guys under you, except for Yu Weigen and Ah Guang, which one I can't dig up? ”

When Cheng Long saw that Sun Ziming had indicated that he would not dig him, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to call him a brother. He can't help it, Sun Tzu is too powerful to dig into the corners of people, as long as this kid likes the person, few can escape. Wu Yusen can be regarded as the second-in-command of Tsui Hark's studio, and in a blink of an eye, he has changed the door to light and shadow.

Sun Ziming made this tired person happy, "You know what a fart!" Do you really think that Wu Yusen and Xu Lao Wei are so good that they seem to be wearing a pair of pants? If it weren't for their fundamental disagreement on the film, would I have been able to dig it up? That is, people like you will believe in that set! Brother Jing still wants to dig Gao Zhisen, do you think he can dig it? ”

"Huh? Mrs. Shi also said that you invited Wu Yusen to join, and the couple agreed to let him jump to you in order to give him a better stage. ”

As soon as Sun Ziming heard it, the couple would really grease and whitewash themselves, "Do you believe this?" You pig brains, huh? I didn't see that when they were filming "The True Colors of Heroes 2", Xu Lao Monster was forcing Brother Sen, except for the gunfight scene in that film, where is there a bit of Brother Sen's style? ”

When you are an artist, the first thing is to be angry. Cheng Long didn't care about Sun Ziming's sarcasm, but remembered another thing, the more he thought about it, the darker his face became, and the more he felt strange, "Ziming, you have a good brain, I'll ask you something." ”

Sun Zi Mingzheng scolded vigorously, and when he saw that this guy's face was wrong, he quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Cheng Long told him that Chen Ziqiang came to visit the class a few days ago, and saw that the people in Cheng's class were obedient to his grandson, and privately gave him ideas and instructed his subordinates to obey the yang and yin, "According to the words, he should know what you said, so why is he still like this?" ”

This is another guy who is a fan of the authorities, Cheng Long is popular in Hollywood, what good is it for Chen Ziqiang? Can he still come to the United States to help Cheng Long pick up the film? Only if Cheng Long can't stand up in the United States and honestly shoots films in Hong Kong, can Chen Ziqiang's interests be maximized!

As soon as Sun Ziming explained this, the more Cheng Long thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and he couldn't help scolding: ", Lao Tzu has lost his eyes, and he still treats him as a brother, and tells him everything." When he returned to Hong Kong, Lao Tzu immediately fired him! ”

"Call you stupid, you really don't have a brain!" Hearing this guy say this, Sun Ziming couldn't help but scold him again.
