……
"The 11th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Film: "Lame Hao", congratulations to "Lame Hao"!"
Sun Ziming and Xiang Huaqiang took the main creative staff of the crew to the stage, shook hands and hugged the award presenters Wu Siyuan and Lin Qingxia, and then received the trophy from them. Sun Ziming took the trophy, stood in front of the microphone, and joked: "Thank you too many people today, so I won't waste everyone's time, and now please thank everyone to Lao Shi." ”
The usually cold boss of the new Ngee An new dragon head took the trophy from Sun Ziming's hand, and smiled so much that the folds on his face came out. Xiang Huaqiang raised the trophy and gestured, and after thanking him, he sighed: "The idea of this script was thought of when I visited an elder four years ago. We collected a lot of materials, but we didn't know where to start, so we had to go to Ziming. At that time, Ziming got the materials, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it. Until now, I still remember that when we were sitting on the rooftop of the light and shadow company, Ziming told me that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and perhaps only a society under the rule of law like Hong Kong can restore the past of the rivers and lakes in its original place. The unprecedented success of this film is an honor for me to someone, and an honor for all of us in our company. Here again, I would like to thank Ziming, Ah Fa, Ah Ling, Jia Hui, Fat Cat, and all the brothers who participated in the production of this film, thank you! ”
There was mixed applause from the audience, this club boss is a villain, not to mention that everyone thinks so, even he himself admits it. But it can't be denied that this villain loves movies, and through the hands of Guò Sun Ziming, he truly restored the rivers and lakes of more than ten years ago, leaving Hong Kong citizens with an unforgettable historical memory.
……
In the warm applause and cheers, "Lame Hao" won seven awards without suspense: Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Cinematography, becoming the biggest winner at the 11th Hong Kong Film Awards. So much so that at the regular press conference after the awards, everyone only pointed to the questions of "Lame Hao", but asked the questions of "Jurassic Park" one by one.
After answering reporters' questions, the directors and stars of the light and shadow company, as well as Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao, filled Sun Ziming's mansion on Peak Road. is also the same as in previous years, playing cards when you should play cards, drinking and chatting when you should drink and chat, but Li Zhi, who used to communicate with Yuan Mei, was pulled onto the mahjong table by Liu Jialing and Lin Qingxia and became the sought after objects of actresses.
Sun Ziming also went to the study to talk about things first, and in the past two days, he will either visit the bigwigs and elders of all parties, or hold a meeting to discuss the company's affairs, and he will return to the United States tomorrow, so he has to seize the time to chat with everyone privately. The first person to enter the study was Li Lianjie, who was originally going to let him go to the United States at the end of the year to test the waters, but the actors who played with him couldn't implement it.
"Brother Jie, the United States hasn't arranged it yet, you can continue to shoot a Hong Kong film. I've written the book.,It's similar to the last "Jingwu Heroes".,It's also dressed in the coat of a kung fu movie.,Reflecting history and humanity.。 When we arrange it over there, you can go over again, is there a problem? ”
Rao is Yuan Mei had already communicated with him, but after getting the news from Sun Ziming's mouth, a trace of disappointment flashed in Li Lianjie's eyes. Hey, Ziming used to say that he and Cheng Long and Ah Fa were the most promising to enter Hollywood, but I didn't expect them to get in, even Ah Zhi was popular in the United States, and it was not his turn.
The disappointment in Li Lianjie's eyes, Sun Ziming saw it in his eyes, but this matter was really urgent, and he had all the queues on his hands.
"Brother Jie, you wait another year, and when I finish filming what I have at hand, I'll shoot yours. I also had no choice, a very important partner, let me make a movie and give it to his unborn child as a gift. ”
Listening to Sun Ziming's explanation, Li Lianjie's heart warmed, Ziming is not only the director but also the boss of the company. Without the help of friends, how could it be possible to make such a big career in the United States in two or three years? He is in Hong Kong for a few days throughout the year, but as soon as he comes back, it is full of friends, even if he is not in Hong Kong, everything is smooth in the company, isn't this a group of good friends helping?
"Don't worry, we are our own people, and you will become a superstar like Ah Zhi! Hey, how are you doing with Miho Nakajima? I heard that you agreed with her for ten years, saying that you would get married if you didn't change for ten years? ”
At the mention of this, Li Lianjie's handsome face turned red, and he snorted: "Hey, I made me scared last time, if I do it again, it will hurt others and myself." ”
Well, if others say so, Sun Ziming will think it's just a joke. This guy said it, that is a responsible statement, there are too many temptations in the entertainment industry, and the character of this big brother determines that he has no scandals, which does not mean that Miho Nakajima will not change in the future. That Japanese girl is also a big star now, and her popularity in Japan is no less than that of Kondo Masahiko and Fujiwara Norika, and she is also known as a national idol by the Japanese because of her inspirational and healthy image.
"Okay, it's good to be cautious about feelings, don't learn from me", Sun Ziming laughed at himself. Li Lianjie is not very disgusted with this kind of thing, Sun Ziming is quite good, every actress who has had a relationship with him, either give money or give a name, will arrange it properly anyway. There are many directors and producers in the circle, and if they get tired of playing, they will dump it, and it would be good to be able to give a small supporting role.
After chatting a few words about homely things, there was still something to deal with later, Sun Ziming had to say: "You help me call Xingzi and Ah Tzu in and go to accompany my girlfriend, women are to be coaxed, and there is nothing to accompany more." ”
"Hey"
Li Lianjie went downstairs, and the way he accompanied Miho Nakajima was to let her accompany Jackie Chan and them to play cards, and he helped calculate the money by the side.
After a while, the excited Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengzi came in, and the script of "Domestic Lingling Paint" that they were tinkering with, they didn't dare to give Wang Fatzi a look for fear of him laughing, so they sent it to him while Sun Ziming returned to Hong Kong. After getting the script, Sun Ziming was not polite, and deleted all the content in the script that flattered the mainland, but instead satirized, alluded, and spoofed like 'original'.
"I've changed the script, I'll give some personal advice."
Zhou Xingxing took the script excitedly, and waited for his Jian Yiyi without even turning it, the future king of comedy, who regarded Sun Ziming as a god in his heart. This is also one of Sun Ziming's proudest things, and it is very rewarding to be able to make God think of himself as a god.
"1. Don't think too much about political factors when making movies, you are not the owner of a film company, don't think too much about the market. Second, let Luo Jiaying play Da Wenxi, Ah Tzu's obscenity is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which will affect the audience's sense of substitution. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xingxing was a little speechless, Sun Ziming looked at Wu Mengtar again, and secretly sighed that this genius finally began to know a little bit of human sophistication, and comforted: "You think it's a little sorry for Ah Tart, right?" Actually, it's nothing, he's your partner, learning to be an assistant director, and it's also to assist you. Shoot well, as long as you enter the top ten at the annual box office, you two will set up your own studio. Xingzai, as the leader, cannot consider all the interests below, and can only think about the overall situation. ”
Sun Tzu Ming saw Zhou Xingxing nodding again and again, and then turned his head to confess to Wu Mengt, "Ah Tart, Xingzi is not good at talking by nature, but he has also created his meticulous observation of world affairs, and he will definitely be able to shoot classics with tears in laughter." In the future, you should not be afraid of trouble, listen to him patiently, and then communicate his ideas tactfully with others. ”
"Yes, Brother Ming"
After talking with this golden partner, Sun Ziming called Li Yusen in, the foundation in the United States is good, and a few Chinese directors have to be brought over. Wang Fatzi, they can't make Hollywood-style films, and they are reluctant to Hong Kong's status in the rivers and lakes, but this one has a long-term vision and that strength, and wants to develop there.
Li Yusen has no opinion on Sun Ziming's arrangement, he is a big man who has to have a bowl of water, Liu Weiqiang is also the assistant director first, then he will be the assistant director first, "Okay, after I pass, I will be the assistant director first to adapt to the filming method over there." ”
After two or three sentences, Sun Ziming also went downstairs to play with everyone. The current light and shadow company is developing too fast, like a huge magnet, attracting a large number of filmmakers to come and defect, which has endangered the fundamental interests of the other three. Xiang Huaqiang, Hong Fatzi, and Cheng Long downstairs came to bargain or negotiate by themselves or on behalf of the big guys behind.
Seeing that the master had come down, Xiang Huasheng, who had just returned from Taiwan, gave him half of the sofa chair and teased: "Boss Sun, you really look like a nanny!" ”
"Hehe, there's no way, it's rare to be in Hong Kong for a few days a year, why don't you hurry up and talk to you? If you want to make money, hurry up, I'll be back to the United States tomorrow! ”
Just played two handfuls, Sun Ziming never answered the mouth of Hong Fatzi, so anxious that he went to the wine cabinet to bring a few bottles of Moutai, "Come on, everyone drink a little, at the cocktail party just now, everyone didn't drink well." ”
"Yes, yes, we haven't had two drinks together for a long time", the Xiang brothers also helped, and Sun Ziming had no choice but to take the guests.
After a few glasses of Moutai, everyone's faces began to have a sense of wine, and the atmosphere gradually rose. Hong Jinbao, the big fat man, saw that Sun Ziming was still the same as before, and he was arrogant after not becoming a big man, so he took advantage of the wine and said: "Ziming, my brother begs you something." ”
"Say", Sun Ziming also knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to let him talk about business.
In the past two years, under the leadership of Pan Disheng, Debao has entered the domestic market, and it has been very smooth in business, but it has been losing in movies, and only Huang Yanqiu is supporting herself. The Xiang brothers also put down their cups and looked at Sun Ziming, they were the same, it seemed that they won the box office championship last year, but that was Sun Ziming's team, taking them to win awards and make a fortune, Yongsheng himself did not produce any good films.
"I borrowed a few of our directors and actors to pass the file, and the salary is easy to say."
This is also something that can't be helped, the strength of light and shadow is too strong, and it accounted for five of the top ten at the box office last year, which made the other three lose face and lose their linings.
"Ahem, Brother Sanmao, I don't count what I said. As you know, except for the issue of direction, I have the right to veto, the rest of the time we vote by head. ”
Sun Ziming really can't help this, he can't order the people from the company to help other companies film, right? The studio system adopted by Light and Shadow is actually a variant of an independent film company. As long as everyone takes care of the filming, the company is responsible for other trivial matters, and they can make more money than opening their own company, who wants to go out and fight alone, let alone take film appointments from other companies.
Wang Fatzi has a good market vision, and the scripts reviewed by the Script Review Committee of Light and Shadow have almost all been box office hits, attracting a large number of powerful filmmakers. In addition, Sun Ziming took advantage of the fact that Zhou Xingxing and Li Lianjie were not popular or memorized a few years ago, and all of them were recruited to the subordinate, and they also opened the Japanese and South Korean markets smoothly. Today's light and shadow are like the original Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, which are actually a monopoly.
In the past, Sun Ziming still talked about going public, saying that the company's shares would be distributed to everyone when the time came, but the company's performance has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and several board meetings have made everyone refuse.
If you go public, there will be shareholders coming in, and you will have to pay dividends to them, and how good is life now. Sun Ziming is in charge, the production power is in various studios, and the administrative affairs are worried about by Uncle Zeng's big housekeeper, who wants to have a few more shareholders to share the money and point fingers? The current light and shadow company says that Sun Ziming is absolutely controlled, but in fact, he is a Bodhisattva, so that these guys can be on it, fight for everyone's face, shelter from the wind and rain, and have to help everyone find other ways to make a fortune.
Hong Jinbao also knew that it was impossible for Sun Ziming to force his subordinates to pass the gears, so he just wanted to retreat from this request, and sighed and said: "Ziming, you can't say that, now Light and Shadow is the boss of the industry." There are some things, when you are the boss, you have to consider the interests of our younger brothers, otherwise why should you be the boss? How did Shaw Brothers collapse back then, didn't it just eat alone? ”
I don't like to hear this, doesn't I want my company to share the benefits with them? The three giants of Sun Ziming, Uncle Zeng, and Wang Fatzi are still concerned about their identities, and Liu Weiqiang and Chen Jiashang will not give him face.
At this table, which one is not a big director or superstar? In terms of the status of the rivers and lakes, who is higher than whom now? Everyone opens their own companies and makes their own money, why don't you rely on us if you can't make money? If you can't make money, you want us to share the benefits, why? Those people want to come, do we still refuse, we didn't dig the foot of the wall! Besides, our big guy is interesting enough, without his "Tomb Raider" support, you Debao would have closed down three years ago!
For a while, there was an uproar on the card table, and Hong Jinbao saw the light and shadow of the people who were all gossiping, and even honest people like Liang Jiahui were not yin or yang, and hurriedly glanced at his brother. Meaning, I'm looking for an opportunity to bring it up, and the next thing is your work.
