Before leaving Hong Kong, as the son of Hong Kong and a star director born and raised here, Yi Feiyang also had to comfort the Hong Kong media, so he planned to hold a press conference for an impromptu encore.

Because in the past two weeks, the vast majority of Hong Kong's media have hyped up Yi Feiyang's "gossip incident", as well as the pursuit of many fans, the number of reporters who came to today's press conference, as well as the number of big names from all walks of life, simply scared Yi Feiyang, who entered the venue on time and walked to the rostrum!

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Yi Feiyang's eyes widened in disbelief, and he looked stupidly at the originally spacious conference room, the first conference hall of Grand Hyatt Hong Kong, which was full of people, and the majestic "big shots" in the first two rows.

Don't be surprised by Yi Feiyang's reaction, and don't laugh at him for making a fuss, because if you are in his position and see such a big scene, I am afraid that you will be even more rude and stunned!

I saw the two in the middle of the first row below, one is the current Hong Kong Special ~ Chief, and next to him is the Military Region Division ~ Order, in addition to the directors of Hong Kong's major departments! The first excludes these "gods" in the political circles, from left to right: Mr. Shao Yifu, Mr. Zou Wenhuai, Mr. Wu Siyuan, and Hong Kong's major celebrities, Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa, Hung Jinbao, Xu Guanjie, Tan Yonglin, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Liang Chaowei, Zhou Xingchi, etc.!

The second row is full of female singers and entertainers! They are, from left to right: Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, Zhen Ni, Wang Mingquan, Xu Xiaofeng, Chen Huixian and so on!

In addition to these local movie stars and singers in Hong Kong, some stars who rushed from the mainland and treasure islands also sat in their seats one after another.

Looking at such a grand scene, I knew that this was just Yi Feiyang's personal speech before leaving Hong Kong. I don't know, I thought it was a solo concert of a super big name.

Now. Seeing these people come together. Even a fool can imagine how popular tomorrow's newspapers and magazines will be! And that's why Yi Feiyang, a Hollywood madman, will be completely in a daze!

No way, the people of Hong Kong are too enthusiastic!

How can he be sought after by this!

In fact, Yi Feiyang himself is a little arrogant, you must know that according to his strength and ability today, he can win countless battles in Hollywood, the forefront of American entertainment culture, which in itself is the glory and pride of the Chinese people, and deserves everyone's respect and pursuit.

After coming back to his senses, Yi Feiyang regained his look, which was different from that in the United States. Americans are less modest, but rather self-confident, arrogant, and acknowledged that personal ability is everything. However, the traditional Chinese etiquette is humble and cautious, especially on such occasions, Yi Feiyang does not dare to hold it up, he takes the initiative to greet senior government officials and seniors in the film industry, especially those like Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai. Yi Feiyang even called the other party "Sixth Uncle" and "Brother Huai".

After finally saying hello, Yi Feiyang stepped onto the podium. He bowed before beginning his speech.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this press conference, and I would like to say a few words to you before I leave Hong Kong...... Yes, five years ago, I went from Hong Kong to the United States......"

Yi Feiyang talked eloquently on the podium and talked about his past. talked about how he struggled, how he worked hard, how he became a director, and how he started a company.

"Each of us in this world has a great fortune, and this wealth has a very unpleasant name, it is called ambition! Yes, as long as you have ambitions, you will keep climbing up and strive to move towards your dreams! Therefore, I have never taken ambition as a derogatory term, on the contrary, I have seen it as a motivation, a motivation for my success! ”

"Each of us lives in society and has our own ambitions, some want to be presidents, some want to be stars, and some want to be hotel food and beverage foremen...... There are different ambitions, but the way to achieve them is the same, that is, work hard and never give up! ”

"Please note that I want to make it clear here that we can all be ambitious, and we can use ambition as motivation, but we must not do anything to achieve the goal of ambition! Unscrupulous is a derogatory term, a word that separates man from beast, and when you use good ways to achieve ambition, this is success; When you use unscrupulous methods, even illegal methods, to achieve ambitions, you are no different from beasts! ”

When Yi Feiyang said this, suddenly a Hong Kong media asked: "Then may I ask Mr. Yi Feiyang, what is the path you take if you are as successful as you are now?" Isn't it true that you've never been unscrupulous? ”

Silence, the whole venue became silent.

Everyone looked at Yi Feiyang, waiting for his answer.

The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled up a curve, smiled, and said: "This question is a good question, in fact, I also want to know if there are any regrets and mistakes behind my success,...... The answer is, yes! ”

Crash! Everyone was shocked by Yi Feiyang's answer.

"When I first arrived in the United States, I can say that there was nothing, the only job was to hide in a Chinese restaurant and wipe the dishes for a miser, yes, this is my job, my future, my hope...... With a measly salary of $8 a day, we had to work for 10 hours, and sometimes when we missed a meal, we had to eat the leftovers of the guests. You can imagine what kind of food it was, with the saliva of the guests, the wine of the guests, and the smoke of the guests...... But life must go on! ”

"To tell you the truth, I hate that life, because I feel like I live like that way not as a man, but like a mouse, and a poor timid mouse! I don't have a green card, I can't go out, and as soon as I go out, I will be arrested by the police and deported to Hong Kong...... During those difficult days, I am very grateful to a friend, Mr. Gao Jiabao, who has always been by my side and shared my weal and woe. ”

Hearing Yi Feiyang say these words, Gao Jiabao's parents who were sitting with Yi Feiyang's parents couldn't help laughing, because only they knew how funny their precious son was, and Ah Yang could stay with him for so long. It's kind of hard for him.

"Later, I felt that I couldn't live like this. I want to be developed. I want to get a green card in the United States, I want to live in the sun, I want to be successful! Yi Feiyang's series of sentences made everyone present feel the surging and eager in his heart.

"So I made a decision that I had to get a green card no matter what method I used, and then I used a very clever movie...... Unfortunately, I can't tell you the name of this play. blackmailed a well-known American TV station manager and won the first pot of gold. Yes, my methods are very despicable, very bad, I really want to develop myself, saying that I was forced, and I couldn't help it at that time, but these are all excuses...... I made a lot of the mistake that careerists make, and that is to use a shady approach. Get your own benefit! ”

Boom, Yi Feiyang's words came out. The entire press conference exploded.

No one expected that Yi Feiyang would expose his shortcomings in front of the majority of media!

You must know that as a public figure, you have always regarded your personal image and face as more important than your life, and there will be some celebrities who do not hesitate to spend a lot of money and energy to cover up the facts in order to cover up the scandal, but like Yi Feiyang, doing the opposite is unprecedented!

"Is he crazy, how dare he say that?!"

"It's incredible, I've been a journalist for so long, I've never seen such a cow!"

"Oh my God, we've seen aliens!"

……

In the face of the discussion on the field, Yi Feiyang did not explain too much, but continued: "So I just want to say that my success is not smooth sailing, nor is it very glorious, I hope that those who once admired me and regarded me as a role model will rethink whether it is worth worshipping me like this!" ”

Yi Feiyang's remark surprised everyone even more, and he fell silent in surprise.

You must know that in this era, the Hong Kong film market has been weak, and some people even chant the slogan "Hong Kong movies are dead", but with the rise of the mainland film market, they have a strong sense of self-superiority, and they are unwilling to commit to the mainland, so they can only put their trust on Hollywood, a cow like Yi Feiyang. The heroic worship of Yi Feiyang made them fall into a dilemma of remembering the past and unwilling to face the reality. And now, Yi Feiyang's self-breaking image has undoubtedly woken them up.

"Mark my words, there are no heroes in this world, and no one will come to save you! Remember, you are the only one who can save you! ”

Yi Feiyang's speech did not take much time and ended very briefly. However, his shocking words made all Hong Kong people think deeply.

Hong Kong people have always longed for a savior to appear in the film industry, but in the end, it turns out that the savior is himself!

When he saw off at the airport, Yi Feiyang was once again greeted by the people of Hong Kong, and almost all the fans at the airport were fans. For Hong Kong, a pearl that has passed the golden period of film, a big scene like this has not appeared for a long time.

At the airport, Yi Feiyang waved his hand frequently and said goodbye!

……

The blue sky travels tens of thousands of miles.

Yi Feiyang got off the plane and was stunned.

I saw that almost everyone who came to pick up the airport was everyone from Dream Entertainment.

When he saw Yi Feiyang appear, the big guy applauded like a hero welcoming the triumphant.

Yes, Yi Feiyang is a hero who won the war with Colombia, but quietly returned to Hong Kong. Now, the heroes are triumphant, of course, to be warmly welcomed.

However, compared to welcoming Yi Feiyang's company employees, those American media did not show weakness to surround him, "Mr. Yi, what are your plans for the next?" "You beat Sam Raimi, who is the next strong opponent?" Is it Spielberg? "I heard that the North American theater chain came to you to discuss a big plan......

In the face of these nonsense questions, Yi Feiyang's answer was very simple, "I'm sorry, I don't have anything to say for the time being!" ”

Ignoring the media reporters who almost rioted, Yi Feiyang left the airport smoothly under the escort of his bodyguards, and just arrived at the company, Yi Feiyang's first sentence was to ask Vice President Dures: "How did I explain your affairs before leaving?" ”

Dures shook his head: "Weta Digital is very difficult to handle, and many of the conditions we offered were rejected by them. ”

"Reject us?" Yi Feiyang hung his clothes on the hanger, "It looks like New Zealand doesn't take us seriously!" ”

"That's it. After all, this company is a world-renowned film special effects company. Almost as famous as Peter Jackson's Industrial Light & Magic. It's hard to buy it! ”

Yi Feiyang nodded, "I understand this, that's why I will leave such an important matter to you...... But even big companies have weaknesses, and even if they don't, we have to create weaknesses! Remember, we are running out of time, and if we want to lead the world in special effects, we must acquire Weta Digital! ”

A flame of ambition appeared in Yi Feiyang's eyes. In the past, he thought that he could create a very good fantasy special effects team with his own strength, but this time through the filming of "Iron Man", he let Yi Feiyang know that no matter how hard he tries, he will always lag behind others in terms of special effects technology, which is not a matter of more money and less money, but a matter of technology and power. Like Industrial Light & Magic, like Apple Special Effects, these companies are almost all among the top in the world. It's harder to surpass them than to climb to the sky.

After studying the reality, Yi Feiyang embarked on a bold plan. That is to directly acquire a special effects company and save yourself 30 years of struggle. As for the target, Yi Feiyang locked on Weta Digital, who helped Peter Jackson produce the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings" last time. This company is based in New Zealand, independent of Hollywood, but it is inseparable from Hollywood, and has produced a lot of classic computer special effects, in addition to "The Lord of the Rings", there will be "King Kong" in the future, but these are not the main ones, the main thing is that this company will also produce "Avatar" in the future! And this is what Yi Feiyang cares about the most!

"I see what you mean, Yi, with our current strength, I think there are some things we can do to get Weta Digital to back down!" Dures thought for a moment and said.

"Oh no, man, you didn't understand what I meant, I'm not trying to make them give in, let alone cooperate with them, but to buy them outright!" Yi Feiyang said categorically.

Dures looked at the ambitious Yi Feiyang in front of him, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have changed a lot, but as for what had changed, he couldn't say.

……

Yi Feiyang returned to the company less than a day ago, he received an order from the White House in the United States - hoping that Yi Feiyang could have a good talk with the bosses of the North American theater chain.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect the White House to become a pimping lobbyist, originally he went to Hong Kong to dry these theater owners well, and then he could get the maximum benefit during the negotiation. But now that the White House has spoken, he has to give the president a little face, so Yi Feiyang replied: "OK, it's okay to negotiate, but the place and time must be arranged by yourself!" ”

……

Three days later, the Longfeng Tea House in Chinatown was doing a brisk business. To be precise, this gathering place, which originally belonged to the Chinese, ushered in a rare VIP today, and all the bosses of the top ten theater chains in North America arrived.

That's right, this is where Yi Feiyang and the North American cinema chain negotiated. And on this day, those theater owners are already waiting impatiently.

At the beginning, Yi Feiyang cooperated with several Internet companies in the world like a thunderbolt and signed contracts for online film screening, which directly hit the self-confidence of these bosses. You know, now that North American movies have developed to this day, the business of cinemas is becoming more and more difficult to do, many young people no longer like to watch movies, but play games, or go out to travel, in order to pull these audiences into the cinema, these cinema owners are doing sales and prize sales, the business has just been a little colorful, but Yi Feiyang came directly to such a trick, a bolt from the blue, if all the movies are released on the Internet without theaters, how can they live? Therefore, this abnormal and unbelievable release method must be strangled in the cradle.

In the huge teahouse, there are no outsiders, only Yi Feiyang, who is sitting on the chairman's seat, and the bigwigs of the top ten theater chains in North America.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yi Feiyang shouted: "Please tea!" Then someone brought up the brewed Chinese tea and placed it in front of the bigwigs.

"Taste it, guys. This is our best oolong tea in China, fragrant and long-lasting! Yi Feiyang said.

"Okay, easy, I think we should stop going around the bend, we are here to negotiate today, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Mr. Andrew, the leader of the top ten cinema chains who spoke.

Seeing Mr. Andrew's blowing beard and glaring, Yi Feiyang smiled, "I just want to adjust the atmosphere before the negotiation." Since Mr. Andrew, you are so anxious to know the result. Well then. Let's get started! ”

Yi Feiyang picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and then said: "Now I have more than a dozen contracts in my hand...... and someone took out those contracts.

"You can all see, these are our Dream Entertainment and Google Inc., Yahoo Inc., Microsoft Inc., as well as Germany, France. Contracts signed by major network companies such as the United Kingdom, Japan, China, etc. The content of the contract is very simple, that is, the movies produced by our Dream Entertainment can be released online on major websites, and the audience can see the latest movies on the Internet without having to walk into your cinema! ”

"We know this, you don't need to say more!" Andrew grinned.

"Hehe, then I'll just say something you don't know, our contracts are for three years, actually three years. In addition to our Dream Entertainment self-made films, other companies' films are also allowed. Of course. If other companies' movies want to be released on the Internet, they have to go through our intermediate channel of fantasy entertainment, and the reason is that we bought them out! ”

"Damn, so damn!"

"Threat, this is threatening us!" The owners of those big theaters couldn't help but shout.

"Hehe, maybe you think I'm threatening you, but that's business!" Yi Feiyang said coldly. "Where were you when we duel with Colombia and needed the help of your theater chains? It's harder to see you than to climb to the sky! So remember, it's you who are sorry for me first, not me who is sorry for you! ”

Yi Feiyang's words made those theater owners blush.

"Okay, Yi, you still want to get to the point, since you can ask us to come today, I think, everyone doesn't want each other to be stiff, do they?" Andrew, this guy finally said something.

"That's right! Or Mr. Andrew is smart! ”

Yi Feiyang's words made Andrew's face blush, how old he is and how smart he is.

"I think the U.S. government will soon introduce some documents and policies to prevent similar incidents to ensure the interests of you big taxpayers, to be precise, the government should not be happy to see the Internet replace the theater chain, then you go bankrupt, their taxes are reduced, and they also need to arrange reemployment, as well as welfare payments, etc., which is a big burden for them. But if you want to put a policy out of this, you have to solve the problem on my side......" Pointing to the contracts, "because I have so many bombs in my hands!" ”

Those theater bosses were stunned, they had never seen such a shameless one, this was no longer a threat, it was simply showing off!

Seeing that the bigwigs stopped talking, Yi Feiyang gently picked up the teacup, took a sip comfortably, and then said, "But I've always been kind to others, so I'll give you a chance...... To be precise, exchange these contracts for others! ”

Everyone understands what the so-called new contract is, it must be Yi Feiyang's control of their cinema chain, if not all, each family will share some, which is a huge amount.

"Alright, without further ado, now let's vote!" Yi Feiyang smiled unruly, swept his gaze around, and then said a very domineering line: "Who is for and who is against?!" ”

……

The contract was signed silently.

Yi Feiyang looked at these Hollywood theater bigwigs who walked in front of him one by one, they used to be radiant and had no one in their eyes, but now they are like mourning and depressed.

Yi Feiyang understands that from this moment on, he is no longer under the control and constraints of these theaters, and he already has the capital to really fight with the seven major Hollywood companies! Fantasy Entertainment, really rising!

After the contract was signed, looking at these bigwigs who were tied to the carriage by themselves, Yi Feiyang suddenly said again, "By the way, in addition, there is one more thing that needs to trouble everyone...... I don't know if you've heard of the Weta Digital company in New Zealand? ”

A few big guys, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know why.

Seeing this, Yi Feiyang smiled slightly, "It looks like we're going to sit down and talk again!" (To be continued......)
