Chapter 199 Go to Hong Kong for development? Don't go!
"This is Director Guan Jinpeng; this is Master Huang Yuetai and Huang; this is our artistic director, Mr. Zhang Shuping; this is Director Li Miaoxue; this is Sister Su Jin; and this is our heroine, Miss Lin Jiaxin."
"This is my girlfriend Cheng Hao!"
No one expected that Guan Jinpeng and the others would be inside when the elevator opened. He Xin could only pull Cheng Hao into the elevator together. They lived on the floor above. After getting out of the elevator, He Xin helped Cheng Hao introduce them one by one.
.
"Hello, Director Guan! Hello, Master Huang! Hello, Mr. Zhang..." Cheng Hao greeted them one by one in a slightly reserved manner.
When they first saw He Xin taking a beautiful girl to open a house here, they looked very subtle. When they heard that it was this bad boy's girlfriend, they were immediately relieved, and each of them shook hands with Cheng Hao warmly and said hello.
This girl, who had always been strong in front of He Xin, looked quite excited at this time, and even a little flattered. There was nothing I could do about it. This year was the most popular time for Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to go north. For insiders in the mainland,
Compared with the celebrities that ordinary people pursue, those behind the scenes are the most worthy of attention and respect.
Regardless of Guan Jinpeng and Zhang Shuping, these two have long been famous. Huang Yuetai knows: "Once Upon a Time" series, "Stormtroopers" series, "New Dragon Inn", "God of Gamblers 3", "Erotic Men and Women", "
"Song Dynasty", "City of Glass", "Beast Detective", "King of Killers", "Twin Eyes", etc., he has directed all of these, whether they are big-selling commercial films or high-quality literary films.
work.
Huang Yuetai is an old friend of Guan Jinpeng. He Xin had met him when he was in Hong Kong. When he participated in the Cannes Film Festival last year, he also came as the photographer of "Twin Eyes". The two even had a drink and had a small gathering.
I have to say that this time, Guan Jinpeng really supported Li Miaoxue, a good disciple. Not only did his company control and invest in production, he also served as a producer, and helped to attract Yindu Agency, Japan's NHK and a French film company.
We also specially invited Zhang Shuping and Huang Yuetai to help with the check.
"Director Guan, didn't you agree to call me when you get there?" He Xin complained a little.
Guan Jinpeng said with a smile: "Aren't we afraid of disturbing your New Year's rest? I originally wanted to wait for us to settle down and call you tomorrow."
As he said that, he looked at He Xin's dignity and couldn't help but ask: "Don't you know how to fight with others?"
"No!"
He touched his face with some embarrassment and explained: "I just finished filming "Incense" two days ago. It's the same script I showed you last time. It has no eyes for fists and feet!"
Injuries during filming are commonplace for Hong Kong filmmakers like them. Have you ever seen that big stars like Fang Shilong are still often injured during filming?
"This movie has just been filmed. The registration deadline is less than a month away. Is there still enough time for post-production?" Guan Jinpeng frowned slightly.
Because Ning Hao wanted to take this film into the Asian DV Film Competition of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, He Xin had already greeted him and sent him the script. As a literary director,
Lao Guan is still very interested in Ning Hao's unique book.
"It should be in time. He told me before I left that he would send it over in half a month at most. You can help check it first!"
As for the post-production process, in Ning Hao's words, in order to maintain the original style of the film, there was no need for color correction at all. Post-production was mainly about editing. As for the soundtrack, he met many musicians when he was filming the MV, and he will hire them when the time comes.
Please help me, it will be done in a week at most.
"Oh, that's good!" Guan Jinpeng nodded with confidence.
Half a month of post-production time may be unimaginable to mainland filmmakers, and it is completely nonsense, but for those who have experienced the golden age of Hong Kong films, a movie can only take ten days from start-up to release.
For Hong Kong filmmakers who have been working for half a month, this kind of thing is not surprising.
A group of people were still gathered around the elevator entrance. He Xin didn't know much to say, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Well, let's go back to the room and take a rest. I will help you catch the wind in the restaurant downstairs later!"
After all, he can be considered half a host in Qingdao now.
After Guan Jinpeng looked for everyone's opinions with his eyes, he said: "Okay, but keep it simple. No more drinking. Just have a light meal."
He Xin raised his wrist to look at the time and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you at the Chinese restaurant downstairs at half past six."
When he separated from everyone and took the elevator down, He Xin was still mumbling: "I told you a long time ago, except for Lin Jiaxin, who I am not very familiar with, the others are pretty good.
you……"
Halfway through, he suddenly found that his girlfriend was looking at him intently, and that look seemed to be mixed with admiration... Hey! He blinked, yes, it was a look of admiration.
Having long been accustomed to his girlfriend's dominance, he couldn't help but be startled and asked in surprise: "Why are you looking at me?"
Cheng Hao had heard her boyfriend sometimes talk about how Guan Jinpeng was doing and Zhang Shuping was doing such and such before. After all, what she heard was not as intuitive as what she saw. Today she finally saw her boyfriend and the Hong Kong people she needed to look up to.
The big guys chatted and laughed like friends, and I was very shocked. I finally had the feeling that my boyfriend was great.
Because she has worked with Hong Kong and Taiwan artists or behind-the-scenes staff on the crew, especially behind the scenes. She may not even be considered a cat or a dog in Hong Kong, but when she comes to the mainland crew, she can still have five people and six people. This is not a simple kneeling.
Licking, but their abilities are indeed much higher than most of the behind-the-scenes staff in the Mainland, and sometimes the concepts they propose are indeed quite advanced.
"Ah? Oh, I was just thinking, since you have such a good relationship with Director Guan and the others, haven't you ever thought about going to Hong Kong to develop?"
"Go to Hong Kong to develop?"
He Xin couldn't help being happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "You're not mistaken, look at how many Hong Kong artists have gone to the mainland to find a living, and you want me to go to Hong Kong to develop now?"
"Oh, don't be so joking, I'm telling you something serious! After all, Hong Kong is more developed than ours. If you go there to get gold-plated, it may be different when you come back. Besides, isn't Hu Jun just through Guan Dao?
It is related to the development of Hong Kong!" Cheng Hao said seriously.
If He Xin had not been born again, he would have seriously considered his girlfriend's suggestion, or, like Hu Jun, he would have shamelessly asked Lao Guan to introduce him and find a way to stay in Hong Kong after filming "Lan Yu".
This is a bit like Hong Kong stars going to Hollywood in the mid-to-late 1990s, or like after the 2010s, mainland stars tried their best to get a foothold in Hollywood movies, and then their net worth doubled, like double ice and big scenes.
Tian, Big Baby, the kind of movie star Houston.
But regardless of whether you are from Hong Kong or the Mainland, how many people can succeed in Hollywood? Here I want to help Fang Shilong. He is the only Chinese to win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and he was once a member of Hollywood's 20 million club.
One of the members, he is a real Hollywood big shot! Li Jett and Zhou Fa Ge are far behind him!
What's more, Li Kit is a Singaporean, let alone Li Yu, he is an American!
So when it came to his girlfriend's suggestion, He Xin could only laugh.
"Don't think Hong Kong is so good. I guess it won't be too long before Brother Jun will definitely have to come back to develop. Besides, doesn't what I'm shooting now count as a Hong Kong movie?"
"Uh...then how do you know that Brother Hu Jun will come back to develop? Did he tell you?"
"What's there to say? You definitely can't survive! Do you think why so many Hong Kong actors have come to the mainland to film in the past two years? It's because they can't afford to eat, so they can only go to the mainland to develop.
.How do you think a mainland kid like him can make a big difference there? Don’t look at Director Guan and the others, they are all very nice people. It’s my good luck. There are a lot of unattractive people in that place!” He Xin
He waved his hands and said.
There is a chain of contempt everywhere. If people are prosperous and rich, they deserve to be looked down upon by others! After ten or twenty years, when they come to us to beg for food, it will be our turn to look down on them.
Speaking of which, the mainland's movie box office began to explode around 10 years ago. After 2012, as the country launched a heavy crackdown on piracy, the movie box office continued to rise.
One more thing to say here, why the country has not taken any measures to combat online literature piracy, maybe because the market is still too small. This kind of piracy is really annoying. For example, it is like encouraging and seriously making suggestions in the book review area.
Those who complain, ridicule, and even insult are especially those who are trainees. By the way, you can just watch pirated copies, so don’t beep.
Cheng Hao knew that her boyfriend didn't have a good impression of Hong Kong, and she would occasionally complain about it in the past. But when she heard her boyfriend speak so absolutely, she was still a little unconvinced and said, "But..."
I heard a "ding" sound and the elevator door opened. Then He Xin put his arm around his shoulders and hugged him out of the elevator. At the same time, he heard his boyfriend smile and say: "Okay, don't give up, anyway, then
I won’t go to this place. Come on, help me order some dishes, the local specialties here!”
As he said this, the guy muttered: "I wonder if it's expensive here?"
"..."
Cheng Hao, who was held in his arms, was speechless. In his eyes, the topic of going to Hong Kong to develop his career was not as important as whether the meal was expensive or not!
