"Hashawn, I watched the movie you went to Hong Kong to shoot for a Chinese oo partner? How about a beer in Munich?" Peter Hyams, the director of Paramount's new film, saw Sean Connery and his assistant walk in, stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Sean looked at the cluttered room, took off the fedora on his head and handed it to his assistant, "Peter, I thought you would clean up the room because of my arrival,

"Mr. Connery, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Larry Ferguson, call me Larry. A middle-aged Caucasian man with a messy head sat on the sand and looked up and greeted Sean Connery.

Peter Hyams opened the refrigerator in the living room and took out a few cans of beer from it, turned to Sean Connery and said, "This is Larry, the screenwriter of this movie, and we are discussing the script. ”

"You know, Peter, at least the Englishmen don't throw the manuscript paper all over the place while discussing the script. Sean Connery finished with a smile and held out his hand to Larry Ferguson, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Larry." ”

Sean Connery sat on the sand, and Peter Hems came over with a beer: "How's the scenery in Asia? To be honest, when I watched that movie, I only remembered three faces, one was your foreign minister, one was a Japanese terrorist, and then there was the Chinese 6 As for the others, it is completely indistinguishable, Sean, can you teach me how to distinguish the appearance of Asians, I can't figure out if the kidnapped woman is the same as the woman with the strange knife. ”

"Thank you for the beer. Sean Connelly took Peter Hyams' beer and said, "It was a terrible experience, of course, I'm not saying that I myself am not saying that Hong Kong is a bad place, but that the filmmakers, actors, directors, cinematographers and even stuntmen in Hong Kong are poorly paid." ”

"It's not surprising, Sean, that there are more filmmakers in Hollywood than in Hong Kong who don't even know where they're going to earn a piece of bread tomorrow. Peter Hemms said as he opened the can and took a sip of beer.

Sean Connery shook his head while holding the can: "Peter, it's different, it's completely different, to take the most obvious number, the total investment of the whole movie is two million eight thousand dollars, I only shoot for fifteen days, and the salary is one and a half million, what does this mean? One million three thousand dollars to complete a movie." ”

"Are you telling me about the old myths of Asia? Is it my eyes that should go to the ophthalmologist, or is the green screen technology of Hong Kong movies out of Hollywood? and I can't see dull aluminum-wood sets for low-budget movies?" Peter Hyams asked Sean Connery over a beer.

Low-budget films, then there should be a large use of green screen in the movie, special effects to complete explosions and so on, but Peter Hyams watched this movie without feeling that there was a green screen at all, maybe green screen technology can deceive the audience's eyes, but it is absolutely impossible to be flawless in front of directors in this industry.

"It's not a green screen, there's no green screen, they built a huge studio inside the airport, it took less than a week, all the explosions, fights, shootouts were all done in this studio, and there were no green screen special effects, explosions were real explosions, fights were real fights, and the airport exterior was filmed with real Hong Kong airport. Sean Connery still vividly remembers the experience of Hong Kong, as if it was yesterday when he and Huo Dongjun crossed the explosion site together.

Peter Hyams took a sip of beer: "Sean, are you reading the bill wrong, in fact, you undercounted that number by a zero, the difference between $1.3 million and $13 million is like the gap between Grenada and the United States in the war of '83, 1.3 million, not even enough for the cost of an explosion scene."

"It's true, do you know how much their stuntmen are paid? It's less than 10,000 dollars, but they can design real explosions, and those actors are more admirable than Hollywood actors because they are filming in real explosions. ”

"Wait, wait, you're saying that the Hong Kong movie I saw in the cinema, all the scenes were real? The explosions, the fights, the shootouts, were designed by a stuntman director for less than $10,000, and then the actors were filming in dangerous scenes because they were getting paid a low salary?" Peter Hyams interrupted Sean Connery and asked.

Sean Connery nodded: "That's how it should be, that's why I said it was a bad experience, those filmmakers didn't invest little and gave up their love for movies, at least I watched this movie in the cinema myself, I believe that no one in Hollywood can design such beautiful fights and gunfights." ”

"So what are we waiting for, man? Did I tell you that this new movie is called "Dragon and Tiger Pioneer", and it is a cop movie?" Peter Hems said with a little excitement as he put down the beer in his hand.

"What are you talking about?" asked Sean Connery, puzzled.

Peter Hyams said sternly to Sean Connery: "Contact the Hong Kong Actors' Guild, Stuntman Guild, etc., we should bring in the people who designed the action scenes in your last crew, and I think I can convince the producers to hire their team of stuntmen to serve our crew for 50,000 dollars." ”

In Hollywood, action movies are still relying on stuntmen and green screen stunts plus fast camera cuts to complete, this kind of production technique and "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard 200,000 Urgent" shows the effect, just like he just said, the gap between Grenada and the United States.

"I should have known a long time ago that whether it is a kung fu movie or an action movie, China has the most right to speak, because a man named Bruce Lee has proven it in Hollywood

"Zou Sheng, if you have something to call your assistant, why don't you call your old man personally, just say it, and I will accompany your old man over to drink tea?" Chen Rongmei sat opposite Zou Wenhuai's study and said with a smile to Zou Wenhuai.

Today, Zou Wenhuai's face was a little stern, and he was not the only one in the study, He Guanchang and Cai Changwen were all present, and their faces were expressionless.

"Your Xinbao Cinema will open in a few days, Huo Dongjun's Dongyi is promoting "God of Gamblers" in the newspaper, hran You have also been in the film industry for more than seven years, today you are the leader of the beam, of course I want to congratulate, if my health allows when it opens, I must go to the restaurant to congratulate. Zou Wenhuai's tone was a little absent-minded, and even the greetings were extremely perfunctory.

"Thank you Zou Sheng, Zou Sheng is a senior, you must give me more advice. Chen Rongmei said to Zou Wenhuai with a smile.

Zou Wenhuai nodded slightly: "You have an opinion, I don't dare to be, but there is some experience in this industry, you can play a Xinbao cinema line, you are young and promising, and I also know the source of your films, I didn't do anything to drive them away, I didn't want to give them a chance, I just want to ask you one thing, is Xinbao going to the United States to introduce Hollywood West films to ensure the source of films?"

"As soon as Zou Sheng's Golden Harvest has a move, all the film companies in Hong Kong will be scared and dare not say anything, and now in addition to the film of Dongyi Company, I have a second film schedule, so it is also helpless to introduce Western films, Zou Sheng, do you also know that Hong Kong audiences are interested in Western films?" Chen Rongmei lowered her head and played with the black and purple tea cup in her hand and said.

"You don't meddle in movies, only do theaters, it's better to join forces with Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest will pay 60 million to account for 4o% of Bao shares, and in the future, Golden Harvest and the following companies' films, Xinbao Line can be scheduled and screened together. Zou Wenhuai said to Chen Rongmei, saw Chen Rongmei playing with the tea cup, smiled and said, "If you like this tea set, I will give it to you." ”

Chen Rongmei flipped her hands and paused for a moment, Zou Wenhuai paid 60 million to receive 4o% spoon shares of Xinbao Cinema Line, that is to say, his Xinbao Cinema Line has been valued at 150 million by Golden Harvest, if he is short of money, he may really consider it, after all, the combined valuation of his two cinemas is less than 20 million, even if he adds the newly acquired gem and Yingdu two large cinemas, it is only more than 43 million, Feng Bingzhong's three cinemas are only 27 million, and the assets of Xinbao Cinema Line are only 80 million yuan. Golden Harvest only accounted for 4o% of the shares of 60 million, and if you want to speculate and cash out, you can easily take double the profit.

It's a pity that I have been doing theaters in the film industry for many years, not just to make a fortune, the Chen family is only the third son after all, my father's real estate business is ready to be handed over to the eldest brother Chen Rongxing to take care of, I keep the film industry, I just want to make a career from the film industry, I am currently a director of the Hong Kong Cinema Chamber of Commerce, but with this new treasure cinema line, my status in the film industry can be improved to the same height as the three major cinema lines, the status in the industry is high enough, the more opportunities to make money, the more money you make, the higher your status, The Chen family in the real estate industry is just a small minion, but it may not be that the film industry cannot produce a leading Chen family.

This is Chen Rongmei's ambition.

"Zou Sheng, you are joking, I am good, Feng Bingzhong is good, if it is just to make money, it is better to stay in Princess Jin with peace of mind to share dividends, why bother to bet on your net worth to jump out to engage in Xinbao Cinema, not for money. Chen Rongmei gently put down the tea cup in her hand: "As for the tea set, I have studied abroad for many years and am used to drinking coffee. ”

"The introduction of Western films into Hong Kong will eventually make Western films drive out Hong Kong filmmakers. He Guanchang couldn't help it, and said to Chen Rongmei next to him: "You think clearly." ”

Not to mention that I think that the introduction of Western films can make Hong Kong filmmakers have a sense of competition, so as not to think that the movies they make are really invincible in the world, just like a pool of koi, there is no sense of crisis, and they rely on people to scatter bait all day long, and they are fat and fat, and they are about to become obese. Even preying on koi, I think koi quickly understand how to survive better, the rule of pond tigerfish. Chen Rongmei looked at He Guanchang and said.

After speaking, Chen Rongmei got up and smiled politely at Zou Wenhuai: "Zou Sheng, I have something to leave first, and I will invite you to drink tea together another day." ”

Waiting for Chen Rongmei to leave, Zou Wenhuai slowly took off his glasses, sighed and said: "The law of the tiger fish? Hollywood movies are enough to crush all Hong Kong films from the cost, no matter the technology, the market is much larger than Hong Kong movies, it will only be the big fish eating the small fish, the fast fish of Hollywood eating the slow fish of Hong Kong movies, Ah Wen, contact the branch in the United States, Golden Harvest will not do it this year, take the money out to intercept all the western films that Xinbao wants to buy in Hong Kong, he refused to cooperate, so he starved to death of his tiger fish." ”
