"It seems that he feels that he is a top big star in Hong Kong, and he is no longer satisfied with only taking on low-cost nonsensical comedies, hum, it's right for people to be ambitious, but they also have to see if they have that strength, arrogance." Zeng Zhiwei's face sank after listening to Gu Chen's words.

Since Zhou Xingchi signed the Tang Dynasty Films, he has no good impression of this kid who is rampant as soon as he gets his ambition and likes to play big names, if it weren't for Zhou Xingchi's talent in nonsensical comedy is really extraordinary and can earn a lot of box office for the company, he would have hidden Zhou Xingchi a long time ago, how can there be the 'double week' that is now praised by the Hong Kong media as the best box office guarantee. This time, I heard Zhou Xingchi restlessly doing his job well, and he actually delusionally thought that the company would arrange a large-scale zuò movie for him, which directly hooked his fire.

In addition to the fact that he really doesn't have a good impression of Zhou Xingchi, another main reason is that he thinks Zhou Xingchi is only suitable for nonsensical comedy. In fact, not only did he think so, Gu Chen had expressed similar views before. In his opinion, nonsensical comedy is inherently a low-budget movie, and it is simply unrealistic to spend tens of millions to make a nonsensical movie, so he said that Zhou Xingchi was arrogant.

In fact, it's not Zhou Xingchi who is arrogant, as an actor, and a popular actor, it's normal to strive for the opportunity to improve, just like 'a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier', an actor who doesn't want to climb up is also not a good actor.

It's just that every superior doesn't like thorns, especially those who don't know how to be obedient, and actors like Zhou Xingchi who take the initiative to make requests when the company has no plan are obviously such thorns. One more point. Zhou Xingchi doesn't know how to be low-key.

Since the last time it was hidden in the snow for a while, Zhou Xingchi has looked like a lot of changes on the surface for quite a long time. didn't dare to play a big name in the crew anymore, and he was a lot more modest to people. But as time went by, after one blockbuster film after another pushed him to an equal position with Zhou Yan, he became cute again, and his inner sense of superiority made him extremely self-aggrandized, for example, when he took over some films from other film companies, some crew members called him 'Star Master', and he responded without modesty.

Actors sometimes attend events. It's one thing to put on a show under the company's arrangement, it's another thing to play a big name that is not under the company's control, no boss will like this kind of sharp-edged actor, Zeng Zhiwei is like this, and Gu Chen is also like this.

"This kid is really arrogant, he doesn't know how to restrain, he will suffer a big loss sooner or later. But I just have a script in my hand. Just right for him. My assistant is making copies of the original script, and I'll pick it up at the secretariat when you leave. After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "The investment in this film is about 5ooo million Hong Kong dollars, I plan to use it to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, you go and talk to Shao Yifu later, if he is interested." The terms of cooperation can be modeled after the signing with Golden Harvest, if he is not interested, we will invest ourselves. ”

Zeng Zhiwei can still understand that Gu Chen came up with a large-scale Zuò movie to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, and now the three vice presidents of the Hong Kong Film Association have no idea that Shao Yifu has not cooperated with Tang Dynasty films. Speaking of which, Shao Yifu's influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is still not small, in order to maintain the stability of the overall situation in the Hong Kong film industry. It is necessary to win over Shao Yifu.

But listening to Gu Chen's words, this film should be a comedy, what kind of comedy needs to invest 5ooo thousand Hong Kong dollars? He wasn't suspicious of Gu Chen, but curious, could a lot of special effects still be added to comedies? He had the urge to go and read the script right away.

Since the establishment of the Film Association, Shaw Yifu has shifted his focus to Shaw Brothers films, and has opened several movies one after another, two of which have been released, and the box office is not bad. A few days ago, at Prince Charles's banquet, Yihua also vaguely expressed his intention to cooperate with me, this time we took the initiative to come up with a large-scale zuò movie to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, I think Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua have no reason to refuse. ”

"Resident Evil" has been released simultaneously around the world since June 27, and the box office has been reported frequently, and by the end of July 27, it has achieved a box office of more than 73oo Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and the box office in the Asian market has reached a total of 588 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to about 72oo US dollars, which has passed the Asian box office of "Blade"; In North America, the most important market, it won a box office of 154 million US dollars, indisputably topping the North American box office this year, and with a total box office of 850,000 in Europe and South America, "Resident Evil" grossed more than 310 million US dollars worldwide, and later became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong film history.

It is worth mentioning that compared with "Blade" after its release in North America, the Hollywood media often have some doubts when reporting, this time "Resident Evil" has been recognized by the Hollywood media and the audience in terms of storyline and special effects, in fact, mainly because the design of the characters and plot of "Resident Evil" is in line with the aesthetics and values of Americans.

Counting, this is already the fourth Tang Dynasty film to be successful in North America, seeing that "Legend of the Night" and "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" cooperated by Golden Harvest, Yongsheng and Tang Dynasty are all in the production of zuò, Shao Yifu naturally wants to make a difference in large-scale films, but unfortunately Shaw Brothers does not have any experience in making large-scale films, and it is really not a wise decision to invest heavily in rash investment.

Moreover, the only company in Hong Kong that can produce computer special effects for large-scale films is still an industry under Gu Chen's name, even if Shaw Brothers really decides to invest in shooting large-scale films, if there is no full support from Gu Chen, the final production of good movies may have been cut corners.

Although this is a bit of 'living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain', it is really not possible to be sloppy with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds to make a movie, so Fang Yihua took the opportunity of meeting Zeng Zhiwei at Prince Charles's banquet to vaguely mention the cooperation between the two sides.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the combination of Shaw Brothers and Shaw Yifu still has a lot of potential, and we just have the advantage."

Zeng Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Except for the actor to use Zhou Xingchi, what other requirements do you have?"

Gu Chen groaned and said, "If the heroine can, use Gong Li." ”

Zeng Zhiwei showed an expression on his face, and then laughed obscenely: "Hehe, I haven't seen you start for so long, could it be that you want to play the game of boiling frogs in warm water this time?" Be careful that the beauty is hooked away by others in the end, so that you are busy in vain. ”

Gu Chen glanced at Zeng Zhiwei angrily and said, "Don't think that everyone is as unbearable as you." Okay, that's the end of this matter, I'm looking for you today mainly for another thing, I plan to set up an Entertainers Association, Directors Association, Screenwriters Association, Art Association, Stunt Action Actors Association, Editors Association, Gaffers Association, and Photographers Association, a total of eight associations, you are the president of Tang Dynasty Films, or a member of the board of directors of the Film Association, it is most appropriate for you to come forward to contact. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help but pause, and almost instantly he understood Gu Chen's intention to do this, if the Hong Kong Film Association is to control the Hong Kong film company and the entire industry, then the establishment of this branch association under the Film Association is to strengthen the control of specific groups of people. Of course, an association cannot only have binding regulations, but also protective regulations.

He guessed that Gu Chen should formulate some regulations, such as buying insurance for actors when filming action scenes, to protect the rights and interests of actors, because similar regulations were implemented in Tang Dynasty films as early as the beginning of their establishment, and only Tang Dynasty films in the entire Hong Kong film industry have such regulations at this stage.

"It's okay for me to get in touch, but who do you think is the most appropriate person to be the president of the Entertainers Association and the Directors Guild?" Both of them understand in their hearts that actors and directors are the most important thing in a movie, in a movie, people in any aspect can be replaced, but actors and directors can not be replaced lightly, sometimes it is difficult to find a second suitable actor for a role, for example, in Wang Guxian's finished work "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Guorong portrayed Ning Caichen's generous, upright and timid scholar image thoroughly, which was unanimously recognized by fans and professionals, and Zhang Guorong was the actor who best matched Ning Caichen's image.

The same is true for directors, there are not many people in this industry, and there are even fewer top-notch directors, and the really top directors each have their own characteristics and themes that they are good at shooting. Therefore, once a film chooses a director, it will basically not be replaced unless it is absolutely necessary.

Gu Chen pondered for a while, and then said: "It should be the most suitable for my brother to be the president of the Performing Artists Association, but I already called him last night to talk to him, and he has no interest in this president, but you can contact him first, with his help, the preparations will go a lot smoother." In addition to him, among the first-line actors in Hong Kong now, Xu Guanwen has the most seniority, you can contact him later and ask him what he means. As for the president of the Directors Association, Xu Ke will be the president. ”

Zeng Zhiwei commented on the two people Gu Chen said in his heart, and couldn't help nodding secretly, if you want to be the president of the Artists Association and the Directors Association, in addition to having enough popularity, influence and strength, you must also have enough qualifications, and Xu Guanwen and Xu Ke obviously meet these requirements: "Okay, I'll call them later, it's also a good thing for them to be the president, I believe they won't refuse." ”
