After Sun Dahai went down the mountain to have lunch with everyone, he left the main force and headed to the resort in Repulse Bay. Fa Ge and the others were free today, so we all made an appointment to have afternoon tea at the Star Gas Station in the resort.
When Sun Dahai arrived, Ren Kuang, Fa Ge and Wu Yusen had already arrived, but Hong Gu and Leslie Cheung had not arrived yet.
Due to unfortunate timing, Sun Dahai and Wu Yusen had not seen each other for two years. This time Fa Ge brought him to have tea with him. In fact, it was Wu Yusen who wanted to talk to Sun Dahai about something.
It turned out that Wu Yusen couldn't sit still when he saw that Ren Kuei was starring in Hollywood films one after another, and that Fa Ge was also going to take on a new Hollywood film.
Hollywood is extremely attractive to practitioners of commercial films, so Wu Yusen naturally wants to develop in Hollywood in order to prove his ability.
Wu Yusen is now a contracted director of Youlian. Although Youlian and Kasol Film Company are both owned by Sun Dahai, the relationship between the two companies is not very close, especially in terms of directors, there has been almost no communication.
Although Wu Yusen was anxious, he had no way to cross this line.
In the past few days, he heard that Sun Dahai had arrived in Xiangjiang, and wanted to talk to Sun Dahai in person, so he asked Brother Fa to come forward and invite Sun Dahai here.
In his previous life, Wu Yusen also resolutely went to Hollywood two years later and achieved success quickly. Now with Ren Kuei's example, Wu Yusen wants to advance his entry into Hollywood.
"Director Wu, how is your English?"
Sun Dahai understood Wu Yusen's thoughts and expressed his support for his ideas.
Wu Yusen blushed and said: "I hired a foreign teacher and am taking the time to learn English. I will try to complete daily communication in one year."
Wu Yusen comes from a poor family and attends a limited school. English is a problem for him.
"Sure, after your English is passed, I will arrange for you to go to Kasol Film Company and adapt to the Hollywood film production process. You will also gradually reduce your film appointments in Hong Kong and learn more about the dynamics of Hollywood."
While several people were talking, Honggu walked in with a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"Dahai, this is my boyfriend Zhu Jiading. Director Wu and Fa Ge have met him, so you don't know him yet?"
Sun Dahai had heard of Zhu Jiading for a long time. He and Honggu had known each other for a long time and officially dated two years ago. Although Zhu Jiading is not in the entertainment industry, he is an outstanding advertising planner. His famous advertising slogan is "It doesn't matter if it lasts forever.
"Only Care About What You Have" was created by him.
Because of Honggu's relationship, many advertisements and graphic designs for Jishefuture's companies were produced by Zhu Jiading's Smart Advertising.
After Sun Dahai shook hands with Zhu Jiading, everyone started chatting. It was obvious that Zhu Jiading and Hong Gu had a very good relationship. Wu Yusen, Fa Ge and Ren Kuangwei all made fun of them from time to time. Even Gao Yi also had a relationship with Zhu Jiading.
It's funny.
Sun Dahai later learned that Honggu had let Lingzhi Advertising take over most of the advertising business of the Future Department through Gao Yi.
There is also a small amount of advertising to set up the future department, which is done by Uncle Zhan's advertising company.
However, that company was opened by Uncle Zhan for fun. He would only take action when he saw interesting projects. There were only a few people in his company, and he could not complete much business.
In comparison, Lingzhi Advertising Company appears to be much more formal. Last year, Zhu Jiading also merged with a foreign-funded blog advertising company, greatly increasing its creative strength and becoming increasingly famous in the Hong Kong advertising industry.
At present, those who often need to advertise when setting up future facilities are Youlian, Jiahua, Lan Kwai Fong Development and Management Company and No. 9 Hot Pot Restaurant.
Youlian's advertising and promotion basically revolve around movies, records and concerts. These are Uncle Zhan's strengths, so they are left to his company to complete.
The rest of the advertising business basically belongs to Smart Advertising, and the Future Department has therefore become Smart Advertising’s largest customer.
Especially as the construction of Jiahua's projects has been completed one after another, the advertising business volume of Jiayi International and Jiayu International Travel Agency has increased significantly, feeding Smart Advertising.
It's a pity that an advertising genius died young due to illness. While chatting with them, Sun Dahai sighed secretly in his heart.
This is life!
While they were chatting, Leslie Cheung walked in, followed by "Fat Grape" Liu Zhenwei.
The place where they had afternoon tea was the tea restaurant inside the Star Gas Station. It was not open to the public and only received employees of Youlian and its contracted artists. Outsiders could only enter with their company, which fully protected the privacy of the artists.
After sitting down and chatting, I found out that Liu Zhenwei had introduced a role to Leslie Cheung, and he had accompanied Leslie Cheung to the audition just now.
Sun Dahai was very curious and asked casually. It turned out that Liu Zhenwei introduced Leslie Cheung to the cheating masterpiece "Days of Wild" by the King of Sunglasses.
"Days of Being Wild" is actually a very good literary film, with many stars gathered together and the performance level is quite high.
After the film was released, its reputation was severely polarized, but it won numerous awards, not only making the Sunglasses King famous in one fell swoop, but also the stars who participated in it also gained numerous awards.
It's just that this movie has troubled investor Tang Guangrong. The filming cost was 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the filming time took more than half a year. Only half of the planned two episodes were completed, and the total box office was less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Brother Tan was hospitalized and put on a hanging bottle.
This movie has already demonstrated the filming style of the King of Sunglasses. In one word, it is "grinding". There is no script, no plan, and improvised decisions on which sets of shots to shoot every day, dozens or even dozens of times, make the actors suspicious. Life.
Leslie Cheung would probably like this kind of shooting style. Anyway, he doesn't make movies just for the pay. For those actors who are used to rushing to make money, Sunglasses King's movies can drag them to death.
Liu Zhenwei, the good partner of the King of Sunglasses in the previous life, often helped the King of Sunglasses clean up the mess. Whenever the King of Sunglasses made a movie that he wanted, but the cost was extremely high and the box office was very low, Liu Zhenwei would use the original cast and crew to shoot another movie that could be successful. A blockbuster movie to appease investors and cast and crew.
However, now that Liu Zhenwei has signed with Youlian, Sun Dahai thought maliciously, without Liu Zhenwei's help in this life, would the Sunglasses King dare to go offline? Do you really think that those investors are all good men and women?
Sun Dahai asked about Liu Zhenwei's situation. The new film "The Gambler" he is preparing will start shooting in half a month. The protagonists are Stephen Chow and Wan Bixia. The heroine Zhang Min in the original film was once again replaced by Wan Bixia.
However, the heroine in this kind of movie actually doesn't have too many roles, and is not even as good as the third and fourth male leads in the film.
Wen Bixia is the first Hong Kong actress Sun Dahai has met in his life, and she is also a contracted artist under Youlian. To be honest, Sun Dahai really wants to praise her.
