"Chinese martial arts films are all about personal grudges."
"Yes, that's martial arts in a narrow sense." Jet Li immediately said excitedly, and his agent couldn't help but look at him. He had never seen him like this before.
"All the people in "Heroes" fight for their beliefs, ideals, and the realm and style of life. They are not seeking personal revenge at all. Therefore, I think this film should highlight the sense of etiquette during the fighting process.
Highlight the respect for each other and the admiration for swordsmanship. I talked with director Yimou about this. I hope Westerners can see that in Eastern martial arts, in addition to the beauty of fighting and the strong fighting skills, there is also the morality of martial arts.
"
"I completely agree with Mr. Bang's opinion," Jet Li said with a beaming smile, "I have been making martial arts films for more than ten years and have been thinking about martial arts and martial arts. Unexpectedly, I met a close friend today. This trip to Shanghai seems to be a good one.
It’s too late, you should visit Mr. Bang as soon as possible.”
Everyone is accustomed to seeing this international superstar, whom Mr. Peng grew up watching and watching his movies, pursuing Peng Bo in this way. No matter who he is in this world, as long as he comes into contact with Peng Bo, he will find resonance, and Peng Bo will always
It will speak to his heart.
"It can be said that Mr. Peng and I are like-minded people, and our understanding of martial arts is surprisingly similar. In this case, the salary is only a small issue." Jet Li's hesitant chess piece fell on "Hero", "However, I was surprised.
What’s more, I didn’t expect that business people would also have such a state..."
"There are five elements and eight works in the world, and there are all kinds of people. As long as they are men, they actually have the word "xia" in their hearts. It cannot be judged by their profession. When it comes to "xia", the most qualified person in China to talk about this word should be Mr. Jin Yong. Mr. Jin Yong gave me this question
Crossing Six Continents Ge Tou..."
"Oh, really?" This surprised Jet Li even more. He has acted in Mr. Jin Yong's movies. Mr. Jin Yong does not easily give people inscriptions. This has nothing to do with wealth and status.
"Let's talk about movies. First of all, I hope this movie can be beautiful and have commercial factors. In addition to attracting audiences, I hope it can be powerful. Compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it is a different kind of movie.
Style." Peng Bo continued.
"In addition to the good-looking fights, I hope to convey the meaning of our chivalry. As for the refining of the theme, it can be said that it should be a natural thing in the movie. The main theme of "Hero", I think, is the spirit of martial arts, which is the so-called sacrificing one's life for righteousness.
Be sincere and sincere. What is this 'meaning'? Everyone's interpretation is completely different. My interpretation is bigger, it is the world."
"The world, the world." Jet Li looked very moved, "Only people like Mr. Peng can have this kind of magnanimity. To be honest, some ordinary fighting scenes don't appeal to me. What attracts me is the mutual respect in the script.
, beyond the life-and-death martial arts mentality. We have a consensus on this point."
The two had a good conversation. Zhou Yi's face was very relaxed, but Jet Li held a cup and said, "I am very interested in this movie."
The agent was stunned and immediately tried to stop him, fearing that he would be "deceived" by Peng Bo and agree to accept the film with a salary of US$4 million.
"Don't worry," who was Peng Bo? He immediately noticed what his manager was thinking. "In this way, although we met Brother Jie for a short time, we have a good understanding and we are friends." Jet Li immediately nodded frequently, "We can't let friends be friends.
It is my principle to suffer a loss, do you think this is good?"
Jet Li and his agent both looked at Peng Bo, but Zhou Yi picked up the cup happily. She knew that now Jet Li had deceived Peng Bo into losing his way, and she was about to pick up a pen to sign the contract.
"That's right, let's sign a gambling agreement..."
"Betting agreement?"
"Yes, if this film becomes a timeless classic and the box office soars, you accept a salary of 4 million U.S. dollars. If this film does not have a pioneering significance in film history, we will pay 10 million U.S. dollars." Peng Bo laughed.
He picked up the wine glass.
"This..." The agent hesitated, but was immediately relieved. Although he didn't understand the betting agreement, they would not suffer any loss.
But I didn't expect Jet Li to wave his hand, "I just said chivalry. Even if Mr. Peng understands me so well, I must also have a chivalrous spirit. 4 million is 4 million. There is no need for a gambling agreement, but 10 million is required for external publicity...
…”
Jet Li also raised his cup, Peng Bo smiled, and the two cups clinked together and made a crisp sound.
…
"nailed it."
Jet Li was reluctant to leave, and the call to Zhang Yimou could only be postponed, but even so, the ringer only rang once, and Zhang Yimou picked up the phone.
There was not much surprise in Zhang Yimou's voice. After a while, he said solemnly, "Mr. Peng, believe me, I will not let down your efforts."
"Of course I believe it," Peng Bo held Heinwei's hand easily. "Otherwise, I wouldn't invest money. In business, Director Zhang, I want this film to be premiered in my cinema in the future.
, and all publicity and distribution work will be completed by Eastern Star."
"That's no problem," Zhang Yimou became excited, "but your movie theater..."
He knew that Peng Bo was involved in the entire film industry chain, from artist management to production and promotion, but the only thing missing was the theater link.
"Believe me, Director Zhang, after your movie is shot, my movie theater will be built. By then, it will be the most advanced and largest movie theater in Shanghai and China..."
…
The hottest season in Shanghai is almost over, and the most difficult period of the year has also passed. From parting ways with Time Warner to now cooperating with Euromoney, Pengbo Media not only has not fallen, but has become stronger and stronger.
After a series of changes, Pengbo TV, with Yang Lan leaving and the Yang couple fading out of power, is now completely dominated by the Peng family. The financial report has also successfully occupied the subway and afternoon time of Xiangjiang people. Now as long as you are a Xiangjiang person,
Life is inseparable from financial reports.
"Infernal Affairs", as Hong Kong's rescue film, received rave reviews upon its release.
"Peng Sheng," Cheng Siyuan from Xiangjiang called personally, "I saw the news in the newspaper. Congratulations. Congratulations. Let's see you in Xiangjiang in a few days."
"Thank you," Peng Bo's attitude was very calm. He had just received a notification from the Hong Kong government that he had been awarded the Golden Bauhinia Star. The list of 18 people awarded the medal was published in the Gazette on July 1.
The investiture ceremony was held in Government House in October this month.
The Hong Kong Honors and Awards System was established by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in 1998 to commend people from all walks of life for their contributions to Hong Kong or their outstanding achievements.
The Gold Bauhinia Star (GBS) is awarded to individuals who have made significant contributions to society or are highly regarded for their active participation in public voluntary services.
The reason why Peng Bo received this medal is for his promotion of the city of Hong Kong and his contribution to Hong Kong movies.
This is also the sixth list of honors announced by the Hong Kong government since 1997. Previously, there were only three recipients of the Golden Bauhinia Star.
