Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Xu Cun's reputation in the Hong Kong film industry is really not built - under Xu Cun's call, in just three days, nearly 100 filmmakers with some pivotal positions in the Hong Kong film industry joined the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, including Shao Yifu. , Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, Liao Yiyuan, Tang Shuxuan, Li Hanxiang, Zhang Che, Chu Yuan, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, Lin Zhengying, Li An, Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanwen, Zhou Xingchi, etc. There are some important filmmakers in the Hong Kong film industry, and this is the result of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association's repeated efforts to raise the entry threshold. In addition, Xu Cun became the first president of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association under half push and half, and appointed Hu Huizhong to help him take care of all matters of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association.

Of course, Xu Cun is not the kind of person who monopolizes the benefits - after being elected, Xu Cun will protect Li Xiaoping to become the vice president of the Hong Kong Film Association.

Although he has become a deputy, the current Hong Kong Film Industry Association is much more valuable than the previous Hong Kong Film Industry Association. From the perspective of increasing influence, Li Xiaoping has made a lot of money.

Zeng Zhiwei greeted a middle-aged man with a mustache in his characteristic drake voice and said with a full smile: "Mr. Huang! Hello! Hello! I have long admired the name, and I wish I had never seen it!"

The middle-aged man with a mustache is Huang Yulang, a famous cartoonist in Hong Kong, a godfather figure in the Hong Kong cartoon industry, and the founder of Yulang Group, the largest cartoon publishing group in Hong Kong. By the way, in the last life, Li Kui, who was 16 years old at the time, fell in love with Huang Yulang, who was 21 years older than him, for many years under the introduction of a friend. Later, because Huang Yulang wanted to get back with his ex-wife, the two broke up.

Huang Yulang said with the same enthusiasm as Zeng Zhiwei: "Hello! Hello! Mr. Zeng, I have also admired the famous name for a long time, and I hate to miss it!"

Then, Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Yulang walked to the table holding hands in tacit understanding.

After that, you humbly let me in.

Finally, the two sat down at the same time.

After sitting down, after chatting with Huang Yulang, Zeng Zhiwei said, "Mr. Huang, I heard that you intend to enter the film industry?"

Huang Yulang looked straight and said, "Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is definitely one of the most lucrative industries in Hong Kong Films - a movie can earn one or two million if you talk less, and you can earn more if you talk more. Tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, and the funds are returned very quickly, so I really have my heart in the film industry, but unfortunately...it has never been the best way."

Speaking of this, Huang Yulang's tone changed again and again: "Congratulations to Mr. Zeng, the "Best Lucky Star" you directed beat DreamWorks' "Alien 2" and "Happy Ghost 4" and Jiahe's "Zombie Rebirth" It is the box office leader in this summer's summer season with "Twisted Stratagem", "Favorite" and "The Fifteenth Day of the First Day" of Xinyicheng, "The True Story of Madman" of Debao, and "Princess Wencheng" of Yindu."

Zeng Zhiwei said modestly: "It's only been released for a week, how can we decide the final outcome? Besides, my "Best Lucky Star" is only 500,000 more than Cameron's "Alien 2" at the box office. Can't tell."

Huang Yulang continued to compliment Zeng Zhiwei and said, "Alien 2 has an advantage in the theater. With his ability, how could Cameron be your opponent, Mr. Zeng?"

Zeng Zhiwei said with a wry smile: "Mr. Huang, don't hold me high, "Alien 2" has won a box office of more than 85 million US dollars in North America alone, which is more than 660 million in Hong Kong dollars. , 20, I can't be Cameron's opponent!"

Huang Yulang, who did not know the box office performance of "Alien 2" in North America, heard Zeng Zhiwei's words and knew that he had raised Zeng Zhiwei too high. So, Huang Yulang immediately took it back and said, "I'm right, if it weren't for the number and location of theaters on the DreamWorks Cinema Line far exceeding those on the Debao Cinema Line, "Alien 2" would definitely be in Hong Kong. Not the opponent of "Best Lucky Star" directed by you, Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Zhiwei said modestly again: "I also rely on the help of my friends, otherwise "Best Lucky Star" would not have achieved such results."

Zeng Zhiwei said this is both a humble statement and a big truth - at the beginning of the year, Zeng Zhiwei questioned Jiahe's concealment of the report to make a loss of their hard-earned money. Later, out of revenge, Zeng Zhiwei brought Mecca, the boss of Xinyicheng, and Hong Jinbao, the general of Jiahe, together, and asked many friends in the circle to help, and filmed the "Best Fortune Star".

"Best Lucky Star" itself doesn't mean much, it's just a cold meal for the lucky star, and it cuts corners a lot, but it brings together Hong Jinbao, Mecca, Andy Lau, Tan Yonglin, Chen You, Zhang Aijia, Zheng Zeshi, and Wu Yaohan After waiting for a large number of popular movie stars, it can be described as a movie with a super-sized cast. As a result, the movie that overwhelmed other summer files as soon as it was released is expected to become the box office champion of the summer file in Hong Kong.

Once "Best Lucky Star" can really become the box office champion of the summer season in Hong Kong, with the great reputation that the previous Lucky Star movies have made overseas, "Best Lucky Star" will definitely be able to make a lot of money overseas.

That is to say, Zeng Zhiwei and others can all make good money with "Best Lucky Star".

It is precisely because of this that Zeng Zhiwei is so ambitious that he wants to get rid of several major film companies and go it alone. It coincides with the comic industry tycoon Huang Yulang who wants to invest in movies. Zeng Zhiwei asked the middleman to invite Huang Yulang out for tea and talk about cooperating to open a film company. matter.

The foreshadowing has already been laid, and Huang Yulang also expressed his intention to enter the film industry, so Zeng Zhiwei opened the skylight and said eloquently: "Mr. Huang, would you like to become friends with us and make money together?"

Huang Yulang has always complimented Zeng Zhiwei for the purpose of wanting to cooperate with Zeng Zhiwei, why would he be unwilling to open a film company with Zeng Zhiwei?

but--

Huang Yulang also had a concern in his heart - Huang Yulang looked at Zeng Zhiwei and asked, "Mr. Zeng, where do the resources that our film company lack come from?"

Zeng Zhiwei said without even thinking: "Of course it's from DreamWorks."

Afraid that Huang Yulang would not understand, Zeng Zhiwei explained: "You may not know, from actors to filming venues to filming equipment~www.wuxiamtl.com~ DreamWorks has everything, and they are all the best in the industry, so just find the dream The factory can solve almost any problem.”

How could Huang Yulang, who has been in the film industry for a long time, not know this well-known thing? Huang Yulang's real concern is the relationship between Zeng Zhiwei and Xu Cun! Huang Yulang said, "Mr. Zeng, I heard about your relationship with Mr. Xu..."

Zeng Zhiwei, who has been wandering between various forces for these years, can definitely be regarded as the elite of the people. As soon as he heard Huang Yulang's words, Zeng Zhiwei knew what Huang Yulang wanted to ask.

Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "In the early years, the person I admired the most was Mr. Li Xiaolong. But from a few years ago, the person I admired the most became Mr. Xu! I admire Mr. Xu, not only because of Mr. Xu's unparalleled talent , and also because Mr. Xu has an unparalleled character and mind - Mr. Xu is a filmmaker who really likes movies. Mr. Xu has never been as petty as Shao Daheng, Zou Daheng, and Lei Daheng, holding his own resources away from outsiders. Get involved, Mr. Xu has opened up the resources he has to all filmmakers since he entered the film industry. Of course, the premise is not to act against Mr. Xu like the two fools Cen Jianxun and Zhang Jianyan. "

After a pause, Zeng Zhiwei continued: "In the early years, I really made Mr. Xu unhappy because I liked to run around because of my out of character. However, in the past few years, whenever Mr. Xu has something to do, I always rush in. The first one, take Mr. Xu's establishment of the Hong Kong Film Industry Association as an example, I was the first to sign up, so Mr. Xu and I have long since settled the quarrel, and I and Mr. Xu's girlfriends Mei Yanfang and Zhang Manyu are both. He is a very good friend. By the way, you may not know it yet. I am still an artist of DreamWorks Agency. Mr. Xu has to pay me 300 yuan a month. I plan to receive this money until I die. !"
