Everyone is Chinese, and they value human connections. Xiangjiang is a small place, and the film and television industry is only so big. You can build relationships by just hanging around each other once or twice.
Today you help me save the day, and tomorrow I will help you with the substation. It's all a debt of gratitude. As a result, each company has no choice but to arrange its own project schedule early, and you will spend the rest of the time. Just do whatever you love.
At this time, the audience at the entrance was in a commotion. It turned out to be Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan and several other senior brothers.
Sammo Hung is a big shot in Debao, and Dickson Poon would discuss everything with him.
Jackie Chan is the backbone of Jiahe. Not only does he delegate power to him, but the company's resources also try their best to prioritize his needs.
But if they attend an event together, no one, whether Wu Wenhuai or Pan Disheng, can say anything. Who makes them brothers?
When they arrived, they were a large group of more than ten people. Among them, the ones Sun Dahai could teach the names of were Yuan Biao and Yuan Hua.
After Yuan Qiu married Yuan Hua, she has faded out of the film industry in the past two years and has become a full-time housewife at home. She will definitely not appear today.
I don’t know the remaining people from the Seven Little Fortunes, Sun Dahai, but now that the four most famous ones are here in one go, it’s really a big honor.
But why is there a short, fat man named Eric Tsang among them?
Eric Tsang is not one of the Seven Little Fortunes. On the contrary, he should be regarded as one of the seven founders of New Art City, but he does not have shares in New Art City.
When there was internal strife within Xinyi City due to uneven distribution, Eric Tsang promptly withdrew from the seven-member group, stayed out of the matter, and went to Wanwan to make movies.
Later, he was called back by Sammo Hung to work on Baohe, which was Sammo Hung's satellite company affiliated with Golden Harvest.
Later, many well-known actors came one after another, including Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui and Brigitte Lin. Now, the four beauties of the 1980s in Hong Kong, "Xia Yufanghong", were gathered together.
However, this sentence has not been spread yet, and Maggie Cheung and Anita Mui are not considered first-line female movie stars in the film industry.
The two of them now, one is a young actor who has just started in the industry. The other has already established a foothold in the music industry and is preparing to transfer his energy to the film industry.
Both of them have to wait until next year to truly establish their own brands in the film industry. "Carmen" and "Rouge" will be released one after another next year. Only such classic literary films can truly make an actor famous. .
Some familiar faces from Sun Dahai also appeared. Andy Lau looked so immature, and Wang Zuxian looked more like a silly girl. How could he have the demeanor of a goddess?
Ti Lung, Cheng Kui'an, and Chen Baiqiang have all starred in movies invested by Youlian, and they all came to support this time.
…
During the half-hour red carpet ceremony, many well-known filmmakers from Hong Kong came. After the ceremony, the staff removed the signing board and carpet and began to invite the film critics and audiences who were invited to the premiere to enter.
In fact, many guests did not walk on the red carpet. For whatever reason, they stayed aside to watch the excitement. When they saw that the red carpet was removed, they took out their invitations and walked into the theater.
Sun Dahai saw his company's "grapes" with his own eyes, and walked in arm-in-arm with a man in sunglasses. This must be his good "gay friend" Wong Kar-wai.
Sun Dahai had never thought that "Grape" Liu Zhenwei could become a member of his own company. But now that he has joined the company, Sun Dahai will naturally think about Wong Kar-wai.
To be honest, Sun Dahai is not interested in Wong Kar-wai.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to make a movie you like. Every director will have this idea. But you can’t fool your boss and investors just for the sake of your own artistic creation!
In the end, the boss lost so much that the company went bankrupt and he himself was admitted to the hospital. In exchange, Wong Kar-wai became famous.
Later, he intensified his efforts and started selling movies. After getting the money, he changed the script at any time, which made investors complain.
One characteristic of Wong Kar-Wai's films is that the local box office is not high. Next year, his debut film "Carmen" will start filming and be released in Hong Kong. Who would have thought that this film would actually be the one with the highest box office of all his films in Hong Kong, reaching
More than 11 million Hong Kong dollars.
A few years later, movie ticket prices in Hong Kong increased, but the box office of Sunglasses King's movies never exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Similarly, in terms of box office revenue of literary and artistic films, Sunglasses King was much lower than that of directors such as Kwan Kam-peng and Zhang Wanting.
But Sunglasses King's movies are very popular in Europe. He makes the structure, setting, plot, and dialogue of the movie confusing and ambiguous, which just gives those self-righteous European filmmakers the pleasure of guessing.
There is a difference in the box office share Wong Kar-Wai gives to investors. The box office share given in Hong Kong is relatively high, while the overseas box office share is very low.
The result was that investors paid for it and Wong Kar-Wai made the film. In the end, the Sunglasses King gained both fame and fortune. The investors were involved for a while. They made little money and lost a lot of money, but they got the honor of being investors of award-winning films at foreign film festivals.
Of course, this does not mean that the King of Sunglasses is setting up a trap to deceive people, but it will make investors feel a little uncomfortable. It can only be said that everyone gets what he wants.
Sun Dahai definitely doesn't need this kind of false reputation. If he wants to win an award, he needs Zhang Yimou in his company.
Moreover, there are so many profitable literary and artistic films at home and abroad. Sun Dahai would be foolish to lose money and invest in the movie of King of Sunglasses.
No matter how much you say, Sunglasses King's movie cannot reach the level of "The Last Emperor". You know, "The Last Emperor" is going directly to the Oscars.
Fortunately, Liu Zhenwei did not talk to Sun Dahai about the Sunglasses King. Sun Dahai was still a little worried, so he specially arranged for someone to inquire about his situation.
After asking around, I found out that the Sunglasses King was doing very well in Deng Guangrong's Yingzhijie. He was very ambitious and ready to show off his talents, and had no intention of following Liu Zhenwei to the Youlian.
After Liu Chunwei revealed that he would leave the film after finishing the film contract, Tang Guangrong had promised Wong Kar-wai to invest in him next year and let him shoot his debut film "Carmen in Mongkok".
Liu Zhenwei signed a 2+1 director contract with Ying Zhijie. His "The Ghost Story" invested one million Hong Kong dollars and the box office exceeded 10 million, making Ying Zhijie a huge profit.
However, although "A Better Man" was directed by Lau Chun-wai, the screenwriter was Wong Kar-Wai. He was also the screenwriter of another movie, which was the follow-up to "A Better Tomorrow" - "The Fight between Dragons and Tigers."
This movie was also produced by Ying Zhijie. Deng Guangrong personally starred in it and invited Fa Ge to partner with him. The two heroines are Mok Wenxi and Zhen Ni. They are both very famous and can be regarded as Hong Kong’s
A-list female movie star.
The supporting roles in the film also include well-known actors such as Chen Xinjian, Xie Xian and Xu Shaoqiang. It is really a gathering of big names.
