Wu Jianye came to Hong Kong secretly this time, and no one else in Xiangjiang knew about it except Yan Wen.
So when Wu Jianye got off the plane, only Yan Wen drove over to pick him up.
At this time, Yanwen followed Wu Jianye's instructions and found two bodyguards for himself. Although this was unnecessary in Yanwen's opinion, Wu Jianye gave a death order, and Yanwen had to obey it.
No matter how strong Yanwen's kung fu was, it was only his personal ability. In this era of hot weapons, Wu Jianye thought it was better to be careful.
"Go directly to Beacon Mountain!" Wu Jianye ordered as he got into the car.
Dai Zhen and Wu Shuangqing got into another car, and the two cars drove to Beacon Hill in a low-key manner.
As mentioned before, Gong only accompanied Wu Jianye to live in Repulse Bay when Wu Jianye was in Xiangjiang. After Wu Jianye left, Gong chose to live with his parents in the earliest Beacon Hill.
villa.
Gong Zheng was sitting on the sofa boredly watching TV series, while Gong's mother was cleaning the house.
Because Gong is pregnant, Gong's mother no longer goes to work at the newspaper office. Only Gong's father still commutes to get off work normally every day.
After the development of "Hong Kong Island Daily" in the past few years, although it cannot be compared with big newspapers such as "Ming Pao" and "Oriental Daily", because "Hong Kong Island Daily" prefers domestic reports, it has also gained some popularity in Hong Kong.
Myself a loyal reader.
The sales volume of each issue is almost 20,000 to 30,000, and the newspaper industry in Hong Kong is also medium-sized.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, Gong said: "Mom, why is my dad back so early!"
"Who knows!"
The two mother and daughter looked at the door together, only to realize that it was not Father Gong who had come back, but Wu Jianye who had suddenly arrived!
After seeing Wu Jianye, Gong immediately showed an excited expression, hurriedly put on his slippers, and ran to Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye was so surprised that he shouted to be careful.
"Why did you come to Xiangjiang?" Gong asked happily.
"You are pregnant, can I not come?" Wu Jianye nodded Gong's nose and said with a smile.
"You still have a conscience!" Gong said proudly.
Wu Jianye then lived in the villa in Beacon Hill and stayed with Gong quietly for two days.
On the third day, Wu Jianye came to Fengge Entertainment in person. Jiang Zhiqiang was also a little curious about the sudden arrival of the big boss, but after knowing that Wu Jianye was going to bring the actors back to China this time, he made up his mind.
.
The first person Wu Jianye saw was Liang Jiahui.
"How did you read the script?" Wu Jianye met Liang Jiahui in his office.
Liang Jiahui showed an elegant smile and said in Zhou Huaian's tone: "No problem!"
Seeing that Liang Jiahui has begun to enter the role of Zhou Huai'an, Wu Jianye showed a satisfied smile. This is the self-cultivation of actors in this era. After receiving a role, he must immediately start studying the role.
Liang Jiahui is one of the best.
In fact, Xiangjiang has indeed produced many good actors in this era, such as Zhou Run, the god of acting, Tony Leung Chaowei, who has an electric eye, and Liang Jiahui, who has thousands of faces.
They are all representatives of Xiangjiang's acting skills, and of course Liu Qingyun, Wu Yu, and Huang Sheng in the later period are also indispensable.
As a contracted actor of Fengge Entertainment and an actor who was brought out of the quagmire by Fengge Entertainment, Liang Jiahui naturally has no objection to the company's arrangements.
At the same time, after watching two films directed by Wu Jianye, Liang Jiahui admired Wu Jianye's directing skills very much and hoped to cooperate with Wu Jianye.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy next time. In a few days, you will have to come back to China with me to receive physical training. This is a martial arts film, and action scenes are definitely indispensable." Wu Jianye warned.
Liang Jiahui nodded and said, "Don't worry, Director Wu!"
There was no problem on Liang Jiahui's side, but there was a problem on Zhang Manyu's side.
When Jiahe knew that Wu Jianye would spend nearly half a year filming this movie, he didn't want to borrow Zhang Manyu.
It takes almost three or four months for a movie in Xiangjiang to be released, and it can even be faster from project approval to release in less than a month. Now Wu Jianye actually has to spend more than half a year to shoot a movie.
Movie.
What's more, Zhang Manyu's development in Hong Kong is going very smoothly now. She has become a famous little flower in Hong Kong. This year, she even took over the filming of Cheng Long's "Plan A Sequel"!
At this time, Wu Jianye was loaned to the mainland for filming. Firstly, it was a matter of time. Secondly, Jiahe did not want to offend the Wanwan market because of this incident. If Wanwan was angry with Jiahe because of this incident,
This will cause Zhang Manyu to lose the market in Wanwan.
"Director Wu, can we discuss this time?" Zou Wenhuai personally received Wu Jianye and discussed with Wu Jianye about the use of Zhang Manyu.
Wu Jianye smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Zou, Aaron should be fine now, right?"
Last year, when Cheng Long was filming "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers", he suffered a serious brain injury. If he hadn't been lucky, he might not have been able to see Cheng Long's movies in the future.
When he came to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards some time ago, Wu Jianye was still concerned about Cheng Long, but by that time, Cheng Long's injury had recovered as before.
Zou Wenhuai nodded: "Aaron should be dubbing for Brother Dragon and Brother Tiger in the second half of the year, and there won't be much else to do."
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "How about leaving next year's schedule to Phantom Entertainment. Phantom Entertainment has a script that I have read. It is very suitable for Aaron to play."
"The film will be jointly invested by Phantom Entertainment and Golden Harvest!"
Who is Jiahe’s current trump card?
Cheng Long!
What does Jiahe want to do most now?
Enter Cheng Long into Hollywood, and then use Cheng Long's reputation to enter Golden Harvest into the North American market.
At the Academy Awards, Wu Jianye expressed his intention to cooperate and asked Zou Wenhuai to bring Jiahe's movie stars to Fengge Entertainment's celebration banquet.
Now Wu Jianye has to fulfill his promise.
Of course, the attached condition is that it must be Zhang Manyu’s schedule!
Zou Wenhuai no longer needs to consider such an exchange.
After Wu Jianye reached an agreement with Zou Wenhuai, he notified Zhang Manyu.
Just because Zou Wenhuai has no worries does not mean that Zhang Manyu has no worries. Now that Wanwan is the largest box office for Hong Kong movies, she is worried that if she participates in Wu Jianye's movie, she may get the same treatment as Liang Jiahui.
Liang Jiahui is supported by Fengge Entertainment, so she doesn't have to worry about being banned by Wanwan, but she can't do it. She is just an actress who has just emerged in Hong Kong. If she is really banned by Wanwan, her film career will basically be over.
.
"You don't have to worry about this. I met Hou Xiaoran from Wanwan when I was in Cannes. There should be big moves in Wanwan soon. By then, it will no longer be a problem to shoot movies in China!" Wu Jian
Ye Tong Zhang Manyu explained.
With the announcement of the "Wanwan Film Declaration", the ban on Bayan has become more and more ineffective. At this time, filming in the country is no longer as strict as before.
In fact, when Liang Jiahui was banned before, it was not because the Taiwanese authorities wanted to ban him at the beginning. However, later on, Liang Jiahui won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Actor with his film, and became the youngest Best Actor in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
After overwhelming reports came out, Wanwan decided to block it.
Like Zhang Manyu's current position as a celebrity in Xiangjiang, Wanwan has no intention of blocking her.
In another time and space, when Andy Lau just debuted, he also took over the filming of Xu Anhua's "Journey to the Angry Sea". At that time, Zhang Manyu was also worried, but as a result, the Bayan authorities at that time did not take this matter into account at all.
Keep it in mind.
After explaining this, Wu Jianye gave Zhang Manyu another reassurance.
"Next year Wang Jing of Fengge Entertainment will be filming a youth comedy film. Then I will ask Wang Jing to give you the heroine of the film, and the co-star will be Zhou Run!"
After Wang Jing joined Fengge Entertainment, with the strong financial support of Fengge Entertainment, he immediately shot several box office hits and became a famous commercial film director in Hong Kong.
At the same time, Zhang Manyu had cooperated with Wang Jing before joining Jiahe. The relationship between the two parties has always been very good. Zhang Manyu is naturally looking forward to continuing to cooperate with Wang Jing.
The most important thing is the male lead of the movie, Zhou Run!
Nowadays, the Hong Kong film industry is not a world where 10% of movies are made every two weeks, but a world of 10% of movies every week.
With these guarantees, there will be no problems for Zhang Manyu to join "New Dragon Inn".
Wu Jianye then told Zhang Manyu to hurry up and deal with the matter in Xiangjiang, and then return to China with him to receive physical training!
After the actor's affairs are settled, Cheng Xiaodong, the action director and assistant director, is the only one left for this trip to Xiangjiang!
Cheng Xiaodong came to Fengge Entertainment with Xu.
"Director Xu, Director Cheng, welcome!" Wu Jianye said with a smile,
After the three of them sat down, Wu Jianye smiled and congratulated Xu: "Director Xu, I have already watched the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story". It is a very good movie!"
"A Chinese Ghost Story" has been released in July. Although this movie has received high praise from film critics, especially Xu Tian's unconventional ideas, many people have praised this movie. However, at the box office, this movie
The movie is a bit unsightly.
In the original time and space, this movie had a box office of more than 1.8 million, but when the movie was released in this life, Shi Nansheng found Fengge Cinemas because he wanted to borrow Cheng Xiaodong, and he also hoped that this classic movie would be available in Hong Kong
Achieve higher box office sales.
At least it should be worthy of his status, so Fengge Cinema Line has released the movie in six theaters. The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" has not yet been removed from the shelves, but the estimated box office record should be around 25 million Hong Kong dollars.
It is HK$7 million more than the box office of the original time and space!
If you think that this movie cost Xu and Lei Juekun money, you are totally wrong. The investment in this movie is not even HK$6 million.
It is precisely with this kind of return on investment that we will continue to launch "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" and "A Chinese Ghost Story 3" in the future.
If it were just a classic, it would be impossible for anyone to pay Xu to film the next two parts.
Dark Glasses King's "Ashes of Time" is a classic, it is called the pinnacle of Dark Glasses King, but in the end, this is the only movie.
As for some people who would say that King of Sunglasses never makes a sequel, but the copyright of this movie is not in the hands of King of Sunglasses at all. If it is a big-selling movie, even if King of Sunglasses does not make it, the film company that owns the copyright of this movie will not
Let this cash cow go.
After hearing Wu Jianye's praise, Xu showed a proud smile: "I still have to thank Fengge Cinema for its support. Without the support of Fengge Cinema, the box office of this movie would not be as high as it is."
Compared to Zhang Manyu, Cheng Xiaodong doesn't have that much to worry about. As a person behind the scenes, he doesn't worry at all that Wanwan will block him.
Moreover, Cheng Xiaodong already knew about Wanwan's film declaration in Xu. Naturally, he didn't care even more.
When Xu came to Fengge Entertainment this time, he mainly wanted to discuss with Wu Jianye about borrowing actors.
The actor Xu wanted to borrow was none other than the number one ace of Fengge Entertainment, Zhou Run.
"Director Wu, I have a script in my hand now. It's quite interesting. It tells a story about a man who marries two women at the same time. Zhou Run is a very suitable actor."
"Diary of a Real Man"!
If nothing else, the movie Xu mentioned should be the pinnacle of scumbag movies, "Diary of a Real Man."
In later generations, when everyone was still discussing the scumbag routine, in the late 1980s, Xiangjiang had already produced a scumbag movie with a box office of nearly 20 million.
But if we simply say that Zhou Run in "The Diary of a Real Man" is a scumbag, it would actually be wrong. At least he really likes the two female protagonists.
When I was watching the movie Wu Jianye in Another Time and Space, I was thinking that if I were the male protagonist in the movie, I probably wouldn’t give up on these two wives.
After all, one is Wang Zuxian and the other is Ye Qianwen.
The starting point of later generations is the phenomenal scumbag novel "I Really Don't Want to Be Reborn." In Wu Jianye's view, Chen Hansheng definitely captured the essence of "Diary of a Real Man".
If that novel was adapted into a TV series or movie, it would definitely be very enjoyable!
Unfortunately, the domestic system is a bit troublesome...
In the past two years, Xiangjiang definitely belongs to Zhou Run, because Wu Jianye has already produced the script for "God of Gamblers", so now Zhou Run is filming this phenomenal movie.
Wu Jianye did not refuse Xu's invitation.
In other words, Zhou Run will have at least three movies to meet the audience next year: "The Girl in Hardcover", "The Diary of a Real Man", and "Prison Story"!
"Prison Storm" is the same as "God of Gamblers", Wu Jianye made him appear in advance in order to quickly increase Zhou Run's reputation.
In the future, Wu Jianye doesn't just want to spread kung fu movies abroad. As a representative of the acting school, Zhou Run should also let the world know about it.
Only when domestic films and Hong Kong films work together will it be possible for Chinese-language films to truly go out of Asia...
