Hong Kong Island, once known as the "Pearl of the Orient", has attracted the attention of countless people with its prosperity and vitality.

Walking in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island by car, it seems to be walking between prosperity and dilapidation, and the last second is still a magnificent and modern skyscraper, row upon row, swords and swords, and the face is full of a sense of futurism and technology; And around the corner are rusty, dilapidated buildings, bustling, narrow and chaotic streets.

"It feels so bad here."

Xu took care that it was Lao Li who was driving in the front row, and Liu Yifei suppressed her voice and whispered to Sun Yi.

The two of them were taking a car to inspect the film scene, Sun Yi led the team, Liu Yifei participated in it, and it was said that taking a look at the shooting scene in advance would help her get into the state, and their driver today was Lao Li.

Sun Yi finally persuaded Director Tong Gang to switch the story background of the whole film to before the return of 97, and at that time, the Hong Kong Island Police Force was still subordinate to the British government in Hong Kong, so there is no so-called insinuation reality, so it will be more contrasting anyway.

The review of this film passed like this.

In order to hurry up, Sun Yi didn't delay any longer, and directly pulled the team to charter a plane and went straight to Hong Kong Island.

In the car, although Liu Yifei's voice was small, it was still heard by Lao Li in the front row, and he smiled self-deprecatingly while looking at the rearview mirror.

"Pretty girl, it's okay, I don't have any taboos, this place is like this."

Lao Li was very free, but it made Liu Yifei stick out her tongue a little embarrassed.

Sun Yi's opinion is actually the same as Liu Yifei, when he first came to Hong Kong Island, he was also full of longing in Hong Kong films in his childhood, but when he really arrived, he found that it was actually difficult to live up to his fame.

That's it???

Anyone who has lived in any provincial capital city of the motherland will probably feel this way.

However, Sissi has been here many times, how did she find out?

Sun Yi asked with some curiosity: "I remember that you have been here many times, but you have not visited?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, she had the impression that Hong Kong Island was a very prosperous city.

"I've been here before, but it's all for promotional activities, and the time is very tight, so I haven't done much shopping, and the only two times have been with my mother."

Looking at Sun Yi's eyes that were still inquiring, Liu Yifei added with some embarrassment;

"Well, shopping at the big mall."

"Oh, that's right."

Sun Yi smiled, no wonder Xiao Nizi seemed to see the real Hong Kong Island on the first day, and the previous few times she came to the relationship were in prosperous places, and shopping was also in a big shopping mall.

He looked out of the car again, the city has long been beautiful, the light is beautiful on the surface, but behind it has long been a little lost, just like the current Hong Kong Island film and television circle.

The top actors fled one after another, enjoying the mainland market and living a sought-after life, while the low-level actors could only barely make ends meet.

Why did Gu Tianle make so many bad movies, but he still worked tirelessly, doesn't he know how hard a bad movie hits an actor?

Of course he knows, but as one of the few head actors who are still staying in the Hong Kong Island film and television industry, the investors only recognize him, and if he doesn't act, this movie can't be made, so the staff and low-level actors below won't be able to work or eat.

Therefore, this is the reason why he has acted in so many bad movies, but no one has ever put the name "King of Bad Movies" on his head.

This time, in addition to the staff of the starry sky, Sun Yi also asked Lao Li to gather a group of good players, which was unexpected because of the problem of public opinion some time ago, some people would refuse, but in fact, there was no at all.

When they heard that it was Sun Yi, a big director from the mainland, they all agreed, and at most asked how much salary they could give.

Lao Li and Sun Yi introduced in detail the current internal environment of the Hong Kong Island film and television industry.

Needless to say, those head actors who are familiar to domestic audiences, even if the circle is not good, they always have food, and these people are actually the first to throw themselves into the mainland.

The remaining second echelon just wants to go to the mainland to develop, but they can't let go of their arrogant faces, they are bent on maintaining super-level treatment, and they also want to make a lot of money.

This group of people is the mainstream of this wave of public opinion confrontation, and they hug each other tightly, affecting many ordinary people on Hong Kong Island.

As for the people at the bottom, they also want to go to the mainland for development, but due to various reasons, they can't make the trip.

These people do not mean that the level is poor, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the once prosperous Hong Kong Island film and television industry has cultivated a large number of high-quality talents, but they often have no background and cannot integrate into the mainstream circle.

Sun Yi's arrival this time gave them such an opportunity to choose.

Including the group performance, as well as the local staff, all of them had been properly arranged by Lao Li before Sun Yi arrived.

In one afternoon, Lao Li took Sun Yi to run several selected venues, Sun Yi was very satisfied after watching it, full of strong Hong Kong film elements, it seems that it is right to find Lao Li These land-sitting households to help, if you come by yourself, this person is not familiar with the place, I don't know how much time to waste.

Since you choose to shoot an authentic Hong Kong film, the shooting speed is also very important.

That night, Boss Yang of Yinghuang Entertainment learned that Sun Yi and his party had arrived in Hong Kong and warmly invited him to the dinner, saying that he wanted to catch the wind for him.

Sun Yi happily agreed and attended with Liu Yifei.

Because Sun Yi had a request before, the scene was not so big, the banquet was similar to a family banquet, there were no outsiders, Sun Yi and Boss Yang praised each other for a while, and finally talked about the issue of investment.

Sun Yi originally thought that the previous cooperative relationship would be enough to give him ten percent of Yinghuang, but he didn't think about it, Boss Yang was not satisfied, and he wanted to increase his share.

also used Brother Cheng Long to play the emotional card, and on the way to promote the movie "Kung Fu Dream" in the United States, he called Sun Yi, full of regret that he could not return to Hong Kong to be a landlord, and asked Boss Yang to treat Sun Yi well for him.

At the same time, he also took care of Sun Yi very enthusiastically, saying that he would definitely use his connections to greet him for this shooting, and never let any petty people affect Sun Yi's shooting.

Sun Yi thought that Brother Cheng Long's face still had to be given, and it was true that it was difficult to guarantee that no one would lose his mind and do something out of the ordinary in other people's territory.

He is not afraid, but he can't do it at all, since this is the case, he simply doubled the investment amount for Yinghuang, reaching 20%.

However, Sun Yi is not a fool, since you are also involved in investment and are ready to share the money with me, then don't blame my brother for settling accounts.

The No. 1 commercial director in the mainland, Cannes Palme d'Or bonus, a film, the remuneration is 10 million plus 10% of the box office share, not too much.

Sidan, Shuangbing and Yifei, in the entire Chinese-speaking circle, the most popular fairy sister makes a cameo appearance in a role for a few minutes, and the salary is not needed, and a red envelope of 1 million yuan is used as a carriage fee, which should also be used.

As for the other actors under the starry sky, they are all according to the market price, and in the end, the salary expenditure of the whole movie reached 20 million RMB, and the overall production budget also reached 50 million RMB, which was a full 50% higher than Sun Yi's original plan.

But even so, Boss Yang still agreed, in his heart, don't care if you make more or less, now you can participate in Sun Yi's movie, that is a sure deal, what kind of bicycle do you want, after this village does not have this shop, with a stroke of the pen, he signed the contract on the spot, and Liu Yifei on the side was speechless.

When I went back at night, I was still holding my teeth, revealing a row of pink teeth, showing off to Sun Yi beautifully.

"I can have 1 million in just a few minutes, and this money is too easy to make."

Sun Yi looked at Xiao Nizi's unpromising appearance, and his heart was particularly funny.

You're only 1 million, less than half of a cool, people are 2 million a day, don't look at it as a few minutes of scenes, if you shoot it, it will take at least two days, compared with others, it's much worse.

Back at the hotel where they stayed, as soon as the two got out of the car, a black shadow quickly passed by the two of them, and almost brought Liu Yifei to fall, causing Xiao Nizi to exclaim.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yi was suddenly furious, blocked Liu Yifei with his body, and shouted at the black shadow.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow was not afraid at all, but he was used to seeing it, and he picked up a camera very neatly and slapped at the two of them.

Sun Yi was furious in his heart, and was about to step forward to snatch it, but was stopped by Liu Yifei.

At this time, the security guard of the hotel also rushed to hear the news and drove away the paparazzi, and the lobby manager who followed vigorously apologized to Sun Yi and Liu Yifei.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, Ms. Liu, these paparazzi are like this, there is no way to take him, you can't catch him, you can't touch it, you can only drive it away, otherwise you will have to suffer a lawsuit, tonight is not in place in our hotel, please forgive Mr. Sun and Ms. Liu."

The location where the two got out of the car was still some distance from the hotel gate, and this matter could not be wronged by the security guard, Sun Yi was not an unreasonable person, and accepted the apology of the lobby manager, but he was still a little unhappy.

On the first day he arrived in Hong Kong, he felt the arrogance of the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island.
