Chapter 859: The Unrecognizable 'Human and Ghost Love'
This apartment has an area of more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen. It is similar in size and structure to Cao Yong's apartment in Bafu Garden.
The apartment is not very big, but the location is very good, facing Repulse Bay. It is only two kilometers away from the Jiayi International Xiangjiang Entertainment Resort project.
At that time, the global stock market crash had just passed. Affected by this, the prices of Xiangjiang real estate fell sharply, especially for high-end projects, which were on average about 30% lower than half a year ago.
Ren Kuang is the spokesperson for this apartment project, and he got a good discount when he bought the apartment. Therefore, the price he paid for this apartment is really not high, and it can be regarded as a bargain.
The movie "The Last Emperor" stole the show at the 60th Academy Awards held last year, winning nine awards in one fell swoop. Among them were the most important awards such as Best Picture and Best Director.
It is a pity that Ren Kuang, like Zun Long in his previous life, can only be one of the main members of the crew, sitting in the audience and watching others win awards.
But Ren Kuanlei still gained something. He was elected as the Best Actor at the American Golden Globe Awards before the Oscar ceremony, which was a step further than in his previous life. In the previous life, Zun Long was only nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.
He lived in this apartment himself, and his mother was reluctant to leave the old house and neighbors, so she did not move to the new home with him.
However, Ren Kuang is much richer now than in his previous life. The film is blooming more and the business is booming, but it does not make him less money.
What's more, he is also a shareholder of Suijinghao and Youlian. Youlian was reorganized last year, so this year's dividends are not too much.
But Sui Sui Jing Hao is a money-making machine comparable to that of No. 9 hotpot restaurant. The dividends Ren Kuanxi received from Sui Sui Jing Hao last year alone were enough for him to buy another apartment with the same sea view.
Ren Kuang, who has a lot of money, has a good mentality. He doesn't spend as much as a poor man suddenly becomes rich.
In addition to buying his current apartment, he also bought a long-awaited Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen off-road vehicle. Apart from this, he has not had any major expenses in the past few years.
Ren Kuanwei has just returned to Hong Kong. A few months ago, he was in the United States to participate in the filming of the movie "The Love of Ghosts". The movie is expected to be released first in North America during the summer of this year.
This is the first self-produced film after the acquisition of Kasol Film Company, and the company attaches great importance to it. The preparation work alone has been busy for a year.
Ren Kuanwei plays the male lead in the movie, and the female lead is Sophie Marceau from France. This is also the first time for this 23-year-old French rose to leave the European film industry and get involved in Hollywood film production.
Sophie Marceau has signed a contract with Youlian last year, and she is the first beneficiary of Youlian's expansion into the European and American markets.
Sun Dahai was shocked when he learned that Youlian had signed Sophie Marceau. When he asked carefully, it turned out that Gabriel's connections in Europe played a crucial role.
Gabriel has a Polish friend named Andrei Zulawski. He is a famous European filmmaker, editor and director.
André is also Sophie Marceau's boyfriend, although he is 26 years older than the young French Rose.
Andre insisted on shooting mainstream European art films, but he was not opposed to letting Sophie Marceau enter Hollywood to shoot commercial films.
When he met Gabriel at a party and learned about the relationship between Youlian and Kasol Film Company, he persuaded Sophie Marceau to change her artist contract to Union.
Sophie Marceau was considered an "old" actress at this time. Since 1980 ("First Kiss"), she has appeared in ten movies and has become somewhat famous in the European film industry.
If she changes her contract to Youlian, she will need to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the original agency, which will be borne by Youlian.
As usual, Youlian also paid her an additional signing fee. The two sums added up to more than one million U.S. dollars, so Youlian's report was handed over to Sun Dahai.
When Sun Dahai saw Sophie Marceau's name and photo, he immediately agreed to sign her.
At this time, Kasol Film Company was holding an open audition for the main role in "The Last Love", so Sun Dahai told Sister Fen to fly to the United States to audition immediately after signing the contract.
At the same time, Sun Dahai personally called Nick, the manager of Kasol Film Company, asking him to negotiate with the director and give priority to artists signed by his own company under the same conditions.
Later I learned that Sun Dahai's call was in vain. Sophie Marceau conquered director Jerry Zucker and screenwriter and producer Bruce as soon as she appeared on the set.
The two of them are worrying about the choice of the heroine.
Since the male protagonist is clearly named Ren Kuei, the appearance and characteristics of the heroine need to match Ren Kuei.
There were many actors who came to Kasol Film Company to audition for the leading role before, but most of them were blond and blue-eyed Yangma. When they appeared on the scene together with Ren Kuei, there was always an indescribable sense of dissonance.
However, when it comes to Sophie Marceau, it looks much more harmonious. Sophie Marceau has a combination of Eastern and Western looks, and the lines of her facial features are softer. Standing next to Ren Kuei, she really feels like a perfect match.
"The Love of Ghosts" is a drama film that requires very high acting skills from actors. However, Sophie Marceau is from Europe and has participated in and starred in many art films. She is a capable actor and her acting skills are natural.
Nothing to say.
Therefore, before Nick had time to discuss it with them, the director and producer had already decided to use Sophie Marceau as the heroine of the film.
The selection of supporting actresses tenaciously recreated history, and black comedian Whoopi Goldberg continued to play the role of "Psychic Otta" in the film.
The selection of the supporting actor was far beyond Sun Dahai's expectations. The young Nicolas Cage, the nephew of the great director Coppola who once shot the classic film "The Godfather" series, became the villain of the film.
By.
Apart from arranging for Sophie Marceau to audition for the film, Sun Dahai didn't pay much attention to "The Last Love". It wasn't until the film was finished that he learned the news when he had a phone call with Ren Kuei.
Sun Dahai has a love-hate relationship with Nicolas Cage, the future Oscar winner. To win the Oscar for Best Actor, Nicolas Cage has no problem with his acting skills, but his acting career is like a roller coaster, and there is always a good one.
A bad movie, very neurotic.
As for his extravagant personal hobbies, let alone mentioning them, there is really no one who can drive a Hollywood first-line male movie star who has constant film appointments to bankruptcy.
Nicolas Cage is still very young now. He took this role mainly to expand his acting options.
The many movies he has participated in before have always followed the path of light comedy. Playing the villain in such a romantic movie is also an excellent exercise for him.
