Wong Ka-shing and Ng Chun-hung had another falling out over the soundtrack.
It was completely different from the previous situation where there was a lot of quarrels and Huang Jiacheng was scolded, while Wu Zhenhong continued to work hard to compose music.
This time, Wu Zhenhong not only scolded Huang Jiacheng bloody, but even broke the contract in front of Huang Jiacheng, and asked his assistant to buy a plane ticket to Taiwan that day on the spot. No matter who tried to persuade him to stay, it was useless.
"This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work, you fucking ask him to find someone who does..."
"He only regards himself as a human being. In his eyes, everyone else is just a fucking beast!"
"Sometimes it will be like this, and sometimes it will be like that. I thought he had become better over the years, but I didn't expect that he is even more crazy than before!"
"Whoever likes to compose music will do it. Tell him not to pressure me with a fucking contract. I won't do this..."
"..."
On the phone, Wu Zhenhong used curse words in every word he said, and his voice was full of explosive temper, like a barrel of dynamite.
Huang Jiacheng stood aside. He listened carefully. After a brief moment of embarrassment, he looked out the window again: "Menopausal old people have bad tempers, haha."
"Director Huang, what's going on between you and Teacher Wu?" Zhou Yang was quite curious.
"Nothing happened. Didn't I ask him yesterday to help compose the entrance song for Jiugong Zhenren's appearance? I also made some suggestions on other songs he had composed and wanted to add something new to it, but I didn't expect him to suddenly explode. "It's..." Huang Jiacheng sighed helplessly: "Everyone wants to make the movie better, right? The movie is still being shot, so it's normal to add some things to embellish it, right?"
"Director Huang, I don't know much about these things." Zhou Yang shook his head and said nothing.
"Xiao Zhou, how about you make a call for me again?" After Huang Jiacheng said this, he realized something and shook his head: "Forget it, you can rest first. I'd better go to Taiwan to persuade you in person. Please advise Teacher Wu, after all, the person who untie the bell must tie the bell."

Superman" scheduled for October 22nd"
"The North American premiere box office exceeded 10 million, "The Time Machine" may meet the strongest competitor"
Superman" director James Lee: "We will surpass "The Time Machine" and become the real box office leader in the world.
First!""
"A new round of catastrophe is coming..."
…
October 8th.
The Chinese film industry was blown away by the box office data of "Superman".
The premiere of "Superman" on the other side of the ocean came to an end yesterday. After the box office statistics were completed, DV officially announced the premiere box office of "Superman" immediately.
As of early yesterday morning, the box office of the premiere in 24 countries and regions around the world exceeded 11 million US dollars...
this day!
All the filmmakers who paid attention to this area stared wide-eyed, feeling like their heads were buzzing.
They seemed to have returned to the summer four years ago, when they heard the scene after "The Time Machine" was released at the box office.
The movie that dominated the Chinese movie box office for four years and made everyone look up to it only had a box office of 10 million US dollars in its debut!
And "Superman", a movie that has not yet premiered in China, has already received an astonishing box office of 11 million US dollars.
There is no doubt that a new record has been set.
And this movie will officially land in China on October 22nd!
"I've seen some pirated versions of this movie. It's so cool. Superman actually carried a plane by himself. I can't imagine what this movie will look like in the cinema..."
"I went to the cinema today and watched the trailer for this movie. This movie is so crazy, especially the gorgeous cosmic scenes. I really admire the director's imagination. It's amazing!"
"This is a true science fiction film. Just watching the trailer, I have a hunch that this movie should surpass "The Time Machine"!"
"I was also attracted by the trailer..."
"I really hope this movie will be released soon. By the way, are the pre-sale tickets for the movie available?"
"It's not coming out yet...it seems like it will be tomorrow!"
"Ah, I can't wait any longer. Is it possible that I won't be able to get the pre-sale tickets..."
"..."
On the Internet, after watching the trailer, movie fans' expectations were skyrocketing, and they were paying attention to the pre-sale situation of "Superman".
Information about "Superman" has been overwhelming on major movie forums.
Everyone is looking forward to "Superman" giving them a new visual experience.
This is spring for movie fans...
However, it is a catastrophe for the Chinese film industry!
After seeing the premiere results of "Superman" in other regions, many moviegoers in the same period turned pale with fright, and then they clamored to change the schedule and postpone their own movies.
It doesn't matter to the theaters. Anyway, they schedule whatever movies make money, and the space left is just enough to schedule overseas blockbusters like "Superman".
Although it is stipulated that no matter which theater chain, the ratio of overseas and Chinese film schedules must not fall below the warning red line, there is no way, a lot of people want to withdraw the movie, what can they do?
They also need to eat!
Looking at the clear regulations above, the big bosses of several theater chains in China decided to pull in some films shot by newcomers and use them as cannon fodder to meet the scheduling regulations.
Anyway, if the box office can't draw the picture in advance then, it's impossible for these people to be lazy anymore, right?
……………………
"Chinese movies will face a new impact. The Chinese movies released in October are really difficult now, no... it should be the next Chinese movies that are getting more and more difficult..." Li Fu from the relevant department of Huaxia Movies said silently
Looking at the Chinese movies scheduled for late October, he let out a long sigh.
These movies are basically small productions with an investment of several million, and all the movies with a real investment of more than 10 million have changed their gears.
Although he understood that these theater bosses had no choice but to do this, he still had a sense of helplessness in his heart, and a feeling that a storm was coming.
The situation is actually far worse than imagined!
He lowered his head and took another look at the list of overseas movies to be introduced next.
He has a large list of movies on hand, and these movie lists are all imported films signed with overseas film departments.
There is "Jurassic" in November, "Spartan" in December, and in January next year there will be a Hollywood movie "Armageddon". These are all blockbusters with investment of hundreds of millions.
Any one of them will shock Chinese movies.
This is completely an unequal game.
Of course, China also has excellent export films, such as "Hero"...
But in 2006, no, I should say in four years, there was only one "Hero" that could sustain the reputation. However, movies like "Hero" were so popular overseas that they were simply a flash in the pan.
Some blockbusters on the schedule, such as "The Grandmaster" and "The Golden Jacket," are currently being filmed and are waiting to be released, probably next year.
"Should it be reformed?" He fell into deep thought.
He feels that Chinese movies are now like a pool of stagnant water. Even if a big stone is thrown into it, it will not make any waves.
but……
If we reform, where should we reform?
"Dongdongdong!"
"Director Li, there is an application for personnel transfer from above. This is the application report."
"Oh?" Li Fu took the report and took a look at it. When he saw the word "An Xiao", he fell into deep thought.
Li Fu naturally knew about An Xiao, and he also knew that the background behind An Xiao was quite complicated...
"Bureau Li, should we..."
"Approved, I happen to be short of a writing secretary here. You said hello to me yesterday."
"oh."
After signing the application report, Li Fu continued to look at some information about Huaxia Film. After reading for a long time, he closed his eyes.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that the future of Chinese movies is very bad.
He even had the feeling that Chinese cinema had been conquered and had even become a large overseas colony.
I don’t know how long it took...
He just opened his eyes.
"Xiao Zhang, please call some directors from China and go have a meeting to see what needs they have or what difficulties they have. After the meeting, give me a complete report and I will consider whether to implement it.
Let’s reform.”
"good."

Huang Jiacheng, who went to Taiwan for a tour, is back.
However, it is obvious that Huang Jiacheng's trip to Taiwan was not successful...
He was alone when he went there, and he was alone when he came back. Even a fool could see that Wu Zhenhong didn't give him face.
Some rumors began to spread among the crew that Wu Zhenhong and Huang Jiacheng had completely broken up.
In the following period, Huang Jiacheng had a weird temper and tortured the actors in various ways, causing them unspeakable suffering.
Zhou Yang was also among those who were tortured.
Zhou Yang's scene was originally planned to be filmed for three days, but after four or five days, he continued to shoot...
After filming for more than a week, Zhou Yang felt like his bones were falling apart. The action scene was still not finished.
During this period, Zhou Yang and Huo Yuanjie tried to shoot without any tricks.
However, Huang Jiacheng felt that Zhou Yang and Huo Yuanjie's movements were not good-looking, so he invited Longhu martial arts master to set up moves for them.
After using the trick for a long time, I felt that it lacked the sense of reality, so I started to continue filming without using the trick...
Then, either Huo Yuanjie's movements are not standard, or Zhou Yang's movements are not good and have no sense of beauty...
October 14th.
Zhou Yang walked out of the lifeless crew with a sore back...
Just when he was about to take a good bath and go back to lie down, he received a call from An Xiao.
"Zhou Yang, have you ever considered making a new movie yourself?"
"Ah, Mr. An, what do you mean..."
"My newly transferred department asked me to draw up a meeting list. I will invite some veteran directors and new generation directors to come over. The content of the meeting is a summary of reform opinions on Chinese films. Of course, there are also some supporting policies. I hope you can take the time to come over.
, this will help you in the future."
"Forehead……"
"I have added you and Director Feng to it. If there is no problem, you can come over. The future situation may not be optimistic..."
