Looking at this posture, you can tell that Lao Chen is holding back his big move and plans to polish this script and become a blockbuster!

For this reason, Lao Chen also plans to write a novel, "The Legend of Mei Lanfang". This is the inspiration Zhao Hong found here. I feel that writing a novel before filming a movie will be more powerful!

To be honest, Zhao Hong has been infected by Lao Chen. Looking at his attitude when facing setbacks, it is not without reason that he will achieve greater success in the future.

Although he is a bit utilitarian, he is still very sincere towards movies.

Zhao Hong can predict that he can shoot Mei Lanfang's autobiography very well. It is definitely not the product of compromise between all parties like the original time and space. This version of DreamWorks can take the main control of investment. As for how to play it, it is left to him.

Bar!

At the end of November, the post-processing of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was basically completed. There were still some leftovers to deal with, but the rest was pretty good.

Therefore, I specially made a carefully prepared version and went to Berlin to participate in the selection.

Participating in a film festival is not a simple matter. You have to be shortlisted first, which gives you a lot of room for maneuver.

It can be said that the sixth generation of directors became famous in Europe because of a bit of luck. Under normal circumstances, people would basically ignore their films.

Maybe it's because the three major film festivals specifically support it, or something like that. Anyway, Wai Guoren likes the fringe stuff they shoot, and it fits their general impression of China.

If there wasn't some bullshit involved, I wouldn't believe it even if I killed Zhao Hong.

Of course, some of the art films they shot are good, but they are a bit obscure and negative, and are not in line with public aesthetics.

So it was directly marginalized!

Nothing major happened in Hong Kong in November, so under such circumstances, "Castle in the Sky" was the focus of media reports. This film can be said to represent the highest level of animated films in Hong Kong.

Gradually, many adults no longer regard animated movies as mentally retarded cartoons only for children. Under the influence of publicity, many people entered the cinema to find out.

After watching it, everyone was very excited and moved, especially the music, which made everyone love it.

The pure music album has sold more than two million copies in just half a month. This is just the beginning. It can be predicted that this thing will not sell less than 10 million copies in the end.

Mainly pure music albums are not only sold in Asia, but also in Europe and the United States.

In just two weeks, this movie has grossed more than 20 million, nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and it is expected to have a box office of around 50 million in the next year.

Not counting this, it was really popular in Japan, with sales of 14 million US dollars in two weeks, and the music album sold nearly one million copies here alone.

Many Japanese people feel much better after watching this movie.

During this period of time, Japan's financial crisis left many people with nothing, and many people were laid off from work. In this depressing situation, watching movies is a good choice, which can at least relieve some of the sadness in their hearts.

It can be said that in the entertainment industry, the financial crisis has not had any impact. At most, peripheral sales have dropped a little, but the number of moviegoers has increased instead of falling.

This kind of operation made Zhao Hong a little confused and couldn't understand it!

But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal. No matter how poor you are, you still need a few melons and two dates to watch a movie. It can be said that watching a movie is a relatively low-level spiritual consumption.

Zhao Hong didn't want to say anything about the current situation in Japan.

Well, the cold winter will eventually pass, and what will come will be spring with continuous rain. If you want a hot summer, this cycle is still very long, so you can wait for a few more decades!

It can be said that this financial crisis has directly caused the Japanese economy to be tepid for decades. Many current conditions are unable to be regulated, and the people's happiness is getting lower and lower.

"Brother Hong, can I go to the Berlin red carpet with you?" Li Meimei said with anticipation.

She has walked on many red carpets in the past few years and participated in many film festivals as a popular star, but she is not as high-profile as the three European celebrities. Her current reputation has always been frivolous. The main reason is that the roles she plays are all flower vase.

No one can take it.

If we can make it among the three major European companies, we will be on the safe side.

"What's wrong? You want to be a carpet star?"

Zhao Hong said a little surprised, has this thing become popular now?

"What are you talking about? Blanket Star, this is too ugly to say. A beautiful woman like me goes to their film festival to bring them glory."

Li Meimei said very depressed after hearing Zhao Hong's words.

She continued: "Besides, I am the spokesperson for our company's clothing brand! Our company is also sponsoring this time in Berlin, and I am polite and courteous when I go to the red carpet."

Zhao Hong nodded after hearing this. Looking at these extremely delicate flowers, if they were unveiled at the Berlin Film Festival, the benefits to their products would be obvious.

"Okay, you can ask Jiang Zhiqiang to arrange this for you." Zhao Hong thought for a while and said.

"Haha, Brother Hong, I knew you were the best to me."

Li Meimei got what she wanted, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons.

At present, this girl's appearance is really incredible. Every part of her body is beautiful, especially the smell of mixed race in it, which makes this person even more unique and attractive.

"Haha, how are you going to repay me?"

"My whole person is yours, you can do whatever you want..."

"Fairy, here comes my old grandson!"

…

During this period of time, everyone had their own demands, and he satisfied them one by one, and there was harmony for a while.

It was said that Qingxia was pregnant again, and she got her second child as she wished. Now she could only stay at home.

Of course, at present, there is no impact at all, and it is completely invisible.

She originally wanted to travel around the world, but was stopped by her parents who had just returned from New Zealand.

They have had a lot of fun in the past nine months and have been to countless places abroad. They originally returned to Xiangjiang to take a rest and then headed to the mainland.

But when Qingxia's pregnancy happened, Lin's mother was worried about her somewhat careless daughter and immediately started taking care of Qingxia's daily life.

As for Lin's father continuing to work on his antiques, he has already made great progress.

Working in the DreamWorks Museum, I have seen a lot of good things, and my horizons have been broadened a lot. I found a treasure in Hollywood a few days ago, a piece of porcelain from Ru Kiln. Although I only made tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, it was all worth it.

He was so happy that he couldn't find the north.

When only Qingxia was pregnant, Zhao Hong also spent a lot of time with her.

Limei is very ambitious. When her child was not even half a year old, she wanted to work and be Zhao Hong's secretary. After asking Zhao Hong many times, she was satisfied.

Of course, she will only be given a small amount of work. Currently, Li Meiren has completely planned to stop acting.

She has never been interested in acting. She entered the entertainment industry just out of curiosity or to follow Zhao Hong's arrangements. Now that she has a child, she doesn't want to hang out in the entertainment industry anymore.

Besides, she is still very competent as a producer, and she will be able to become a senior executive at DreamWorks Entertainment in a few years.

Among Zhao Hong's junior high schools, Zhang Min is the one who prefers acting. Her current development momentum is even more popular than Qingxia's, and the actors she plays with are all first-line male stars.

Currently, the partnership with Zhou Xingxing is very good, and Zhou Xingxing has also begun his journey to rise in the film industry.

Currently, Zhou Xingxing usually plays the leading role in the movies he directs, and then plays supporting roles in some blockbusters. The box office of each movie is high one after another.

Not long ago, the movie "The Official" directly raised more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars. This script was written by Zhao Hong for Shaw Brothers.

Shao Daheng was also very happy to see such box office results.

This movie alone can bring them a net profit of 100 million, which is a very good return.

Vivian has been developing in the music industry. A few days ago, Zhao Hong gave Qingxia the song "The Year in a Hurry" and asked her to sing it.

As for the movie "Those Years", we are also excited. The director is handed over to Sylvia Chang and Qingxia serves as the producer for the first time.

After careful selection of the male and female leads of this movie, Ke Jingteng was played by Zhou Xingxing. He has a very tender face during this period, just like playing a student in "The Dragon Back to School", without any sense of dissonance.

As for the role of Shen Jiayi, it is left to Vivian. She can still take on such a not-so-difficult role.

Besides, with her fairy-like appearance, she is a perfect match to play the school belle.

As for the other characters, they are all acting talents, and they are all backbones who came out of Hongfu Academy.

As for Xu Qing, who is currently filming "The Swordsman" in the Mainland, it can be said that the team from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places were gathered to produce this movie. Yang Ma also had a hand in it. In addition to her personal connections, she also invested some money.

The main reason is that they have the broadcasting rights of mainland TV stations. Now Yangma is relatively rich and can start to produce some big productions.

Currently, Three Kingdoms has been launched, and DreamWorks spent most of the money on it. There was a lively casting process some time ago, and every role was carefully selected.

For this reason, DreamWorks' first step in building a film and television city in Xiangshan was to build a Three Kingdoms film and television city, and the investment in this area was over one billion yuan.

At present, the actors of the Three Kingdoms are still in the training stage, and the Three Kingdoms Film and Television City will be completed in a few months, and then filming can begin directly.

The investment in this film, in addition to the film and television city, is no less than 50 million RMB. This is definitely a big production for the current mainland, and it is also a big production even in Hong Kong.

However, Xiangjiang's big productions are not so ambitious. This TV series will directly mobilize a team to participate in the filming. As well as the scene of the Red Cliff War, DreamWorks has a lot of money and directly built more than a dozen wooden warships. When the time comes,

But it will all be destroyed.

This project alone costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which is really a big deal. Even in movies, few people do this.

Zhao Hong thinks this kind of filming is worthwhile. Since the film was shot in the original time and space, it has been re-screened countless times, and the ratings have been high every time.

This is all free money!

It can be said that even if this TV series costs 300 million to shoot, it will be earned with blood.

Veteran actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places auditioned for this TV series. Everyone attached great importance to this TV series, and some people were even willing to play a supporting role.

In fact, many people who got roles in the original time and space also got their own roles, and only a few people were replaced. It was not because they were not good enough, but because they wanted to make way for the unity of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places.

After all, some actors from Xiangjiang and Wanwan were involved, but everyone was treated equally as long as they joined the crew. DreamWorks also arranged a person in charge to mediate any disputes that arose.
