Huayu since 1980

Chapter 370 Fanboy Zhang Guoying (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"Director Wu, I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you very much. If it wasn't for Fengge Entertainment, I don't know if the movie "The Story of the Mad Man" would have been made!"

Er Dongsheng expressed his gratitude to Wu Jianye.

In another time and space, the investment company of "Crazy Guy" is Pan Disheng's Debao Films, but since Debao Films was jointly blocked by Fengge Entertainment and Golden Harvest, Pan Disheng has long since lost the idea of ​​investing in movies. , So this "The Story of the Epilepsy" was naturally shelved.

Later, Er Dongsheng found Jiang Zhiqiang through a friend's introduction, and finally made this movie. The leading role of this movie is Feng Hafan, who filmed the "Five Lucky Stars" series with Hong Jinbao, and Liu Dehua's godmother. Starring Ye Dexian.

Originally, Zhou Runfa would also play a role in it, but with the early appearance of "The True Colors of Heroes", Er Dongsheng naturally couldn't invite Zhou Runfa, and Xiangjiang's other movie king, Liang Chaowei, who is famous for his electric eyes, still played the role of A the role of the dog.

At the same time, curly hair also lost its role in the play, and changed to another actor to play the role of doctor.

"Xiaobao, you are too polite. I have already seen this movie. It is a very good movie!" Wu Jianye said with a smile. The movie puts its attention on the lunatics (mentally ill patients), and it is rare that it respects reality very much, which makes people feel bright.

Of course, the most important thing is that this movie made a damn money. Although it is not much, only more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, but the box office in Hong Kong is only 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is much better than Sunglasses King.

Thinking of the King of Sunglasses, Wu Jianye decided to wait until the Academy Awards were over, and he must tell Jiang Zhiqiang to stay away from the King of Sunglasses, and let the King of Sunglasses go to Huo Huo Deng Guangyi!

In Wu Jianye's mind, as a director, he must be worthy of three kinds of people, one is his audience, the other is himself, and the last one is to be worthy of his investors!
Being worthy of the audience is the basic quality of a director, and being worthy of oneself shows that the director has his own pursuit, which is understandable.

As for the investors?
People have worked so hard to spend money to shoot movies for you, at least you can't let them lose money, right? Even if you lose money, don't lose too much, right?

Of course, the kind of investor who waved a check, changed the script at will, and changed the actors in a layman's attitude was excluded.

As a result, the director put his own ideas first. After receiving the funds, he started to let himself go, and didn't care about other things at all. In the end, the director gained both fame and fortune, but the investor vomited blood at a loss. In Wu Jianye's view, this is an immoral behavior.

And Sunglasses King is a typical director among such directors, he fulfilled himself and disgusted the investors!
From the perspective of later generations, the King of Sunglasses is the top director in the Chinese film industry, but they don't know that he, this top director, stepped on countless investors to get on the board.

Although Wu Jianye had a lot of money, he didn't want to throw the money into the water without hearing it.

"By the way, Xiaobao, which movie company are you working for now?" Wu Jianye asked.

Er Dongsheng smiled and said, "I just regained my freedom."

"Are you interested in joining Fengge Entertainment?" Wu Jianye sent an invitation to Er Dongsheng, regardless of whether Zhang Manyu can be brought to "New Dragon Inn", Wu Jianye is still very interested in Er Dongsheng, after all There is a movie that Wu Jianye still hopes can be made by Er Dongsheng.

Er Dongsheng is also interested. Now Fengge Entertainment is the largest film company in Xiangjiang, backed by Yaoguang Group, a conglomerate like Xiangjiang's giant, and also has a close cooperative relationship with Hollywood's Phantom Entertainment. The most important thing is that Fengge Entertainment respects the rights of directors in the crew very much. Looking at Wu Baige back then, Du Qifeng knew it. Before joining Fengge Entertainment, both of them were just little-known directors in Xiangjiang.

But after joining Fengge Entertainment, one filmed the "True Colors of Heroes" series and the other filmed "A Lang's Story". It is impossible to say that Er Dongsheng did not want to join.

"Director Wu, I actually have a script in my hand now, but the story of this script may not be so popular with the audience!" Er Dongsheng said.

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, and then thought that the script that Er Dongsheng was talking about should be the script of "The People's Heroes".

Just now he said that the director must be worthy of the investors, but Er Dongsheng posed a problem for Wu Jianye, because the movie "People's Heroes" lost money.
"Okay, how about this, after the awards ceremony is over, you go to Fengge Entertainment with the script, and then we can talk about it in detail." Wu Jianye said with a smile.

This movie did lose money, but within an acceptable range, at least there will be no such situation as King of Sunglasses, where the investment is 4000 million and the box office is only 1000 million.

Moreover, after "The People's Heroes" hit the street, Er Dongsheng also learned from the pain and changed his mind. Then he made a series of "New Love" with a box office of more than 3000 million, and a series of racing-themed "Chariots of Fire" that were well received and well received. movie came out.

So if calculated in this way, Er Dongsheng is still very worth signing!

As the number of people in the auditorium increased, people occasionally came to chat with Er Dongsheng and others during the period, so Wu Jianye stopped talking with Er Dongsheng and began to consider the role candidates for "New Dragon Inn".

On the one hand, Wu Jianye was thinking about the role of "New Dragon Inn", while on the other hand, the Hong Kong Film Awards were proceeding in an orderly manner. Wu Jianye's "The Last Emperor" was not the crew of the red carpet finale, so There are still many crews who did not enter the venue.

The people sitting in the venue could occasionally hear cheers like a tsunami outside, which indicated that there must be another popular fried chicken outside.

"Rong Zai!"

"Brother Ten!"

"Leslie!"

Obviously it was Zhang Guoyi who came to the scene. After the cheers, Wu Jianye saw Zhang Guoyi and the long-legged MM Wang Zuxian walked into the scene together.

After seeing Tsui Hark, the two walked over slowly.

Now the two are filming the later classic "A Chinese Ghost Story", but the director has come to participate in the Academy Awards, so there is no need for them to stay on the set.

Zhang Guoyan, as the most famous fried chicken in the Hong Kong entertainment circle, is naturally extraordinary. The long-legged MM Wang Zuxian next to him is still a bit inferior to Zhang Guoyi, but now he is also a rising star in the Xiangjiang film industry.

The most important thing is to be beautiful.
Especially in "The Working Emperor" co-starring with Xu Guanjie, Wang Zuxian in the play is pure and beautiful, which makes Xiangjiang fans shine. Everyone remembers this long-legged MM.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women naturally attracted everyone's attention. After Zhang Guoyi entered the venue, he also looked around, as if he was looking for something. After seeing Tsui Hark and others, he walked over first.

"Director Xu, Qingxia, Honggu." Zhang Guoyi and Wang Zuxian also greeted Xu Ke and others when they saw Xu Ke and others, but when he saw Wu Jianye who was sitting by the side, he showed a pleasant smile.

"Director Wu, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

This time I came to participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards, although it is difficult to shirk the invitation of the Hong Kong Film Awards, I still want to see Wu Jianye more.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Yeah, I remember the last time I saw you, Rong Zi, was when I was filming "The True Colors of a Hero"!"

"Yeah, last time I thought about inviting Director Wu to be my guest at the concert, what a pity!" Zhang Guoyi showed a look of disappointment, he really liked Wu Jianye's songs.

"I can't help it, I'm too busy." Wu Jianye said that the invitation to the concert has not been terminated in the past two years. At the first life-saving concert, I agreed to attend Michael Jackson's concert, but the time allowed, and all others were rejected on the grounds of time.

"Then Director Wu, do you have time this time?" Zhang Guoying looked at Wu Jianye expectantly.

Wu Jianye smiled wryly, but he didn't expect Zhang Guoying to be so persistent, and said: "After the Hong Kong Film Awards, I will go to Cannes to participate in the film festival, and then I will formally prepare a new film. The time may not be until October." It will be a few days!"

Zhang Guoyi showed a disappointed expression: "It seems that there is no chance to cooperate this time!"

For Zhang Guoying, Wu Jianye still admired it very much, and didn't want to reject him directly, and said: "How about this, if you wait for Rong Zi to hold a concert, let me know in advance, and if time permits, I will definitely come. "

Zhang Guoyi immediately showed a surprised expression: "Then we've made a deal!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Okay!"

After this matter was finalized, Zhang Guoying and Wang Zuxian went to his place together.

After Wang Zuxian and Zhang Guoyan found their seats and sat down, Wang Zuxian said curiously: "Brother, I thought you came to participate in the Golden Statue Awards because of Yu Zheng's invitation. It turned out that it was to invite Director Wu to participate in your concert." Yes!"

Zhang Guoying's "brother" was actually called by Wang Zuxian when he was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"Yes, I have always been a loyal fan of Director Wu, and it has always been my wish to invite him to my concert. His performance in the previous concert of saving lives was really great!" Zhang Guoying was excited Said.

But then Zhang Guoying added: "Of course, Yu Zheng's invitation is also an important aspect."

As I said before, the Hong Kong Film Awards have always been shabby. In fact, this year’s Academy Awards was also the same. It was originally scheduled to be held in Regent, but the cost was insufficient, so it was temporarily changed to the auditorium of Baptist College. .

However, this is already very good compared to the previous ones, and Yu Zheng's contribution to the development of the Academy Awards can be said to be indispensable.

"Well, I've also listened to Director Wu's album, and it's really good! Especially the song "Sad People Are Shameful", I like it the most!" Wang Zuxian said with a smile.

"It would be great if Director Wu could help write the song!" Zhang Guoying laughed.

"That director Wu has a lot of influence in Xiangjiang, you see Brother Fa also went to say hello to him!" Wang Zuxian said looking at the direction where Wu Jianye was sitting.

Zhang Guoying said with a smile: "You don't know yet, the script of the movie "A Hero's True Colors" was written by director Wu!" Zhang Guoying laughed.

"Fazi, I thought you came here in a ripped trench coat!" Wu Jianye joked as he looked at Zhou Runfa in a suit and leather shoes.

Zhou Runfa: "."

In another time and space, Zhou Runfa was nominated for Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards by virtue of his brother Ma in "The True Colors of Heroes".

But before that, Zhou Runfa had been nominated for three consecutive times, and the result was that he lost his name. When he participated in this movie, he was actually filming. After the filming, he rushed here in a costume. After Zhou Runfa became the best actor, that acceptance speech became a classic memory at the Academy Awards.

But now it's different, "The True Colors of Heroes" was released ahead of schedule, and Zhou Runfa didn't wait for three years like in another time and space, and won the Golden Statue Award for Best Actor in advance.

The two were chatting, and Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long also walked over. Both of them are the mainstays of the Xiangjiang film industry, and naturally they will also participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In the history of the Academy Awards, Hong Jinbao was more successful than his younger brother. At least Hong Jinbao won the best actor award once, although he shared it with the bald man.

As for Cheng Long, it's a pity that although he is one of the most influential actors in the entire Chinese film industry, he has been missing out on awards.

The one closest to the best actor was the "Serious Cases" starring with Hong Jinbao. This film made Cheng Long win the No. hero.

This can be regarded as a regret on the road of Cheng Long's film.

Although the Hong Kong Film Awards pay more attention to entertainment than the Golden Horse Awards, they still have a certain degree of rejection for action movies and comedies.

The same is true of another kung fu superstar, Li Lianjie, who repeatedly lost the Golden Statue Award, but later won the Best Actor Award at the Golden Statue with his transformation work "Certificate of Fame".

And Zhou Xingchi later also won the best actor by virtue of "Shaolin Football" because of the increasingly weak influence of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

It is impossible for every awards ceremony to be absolutely fair, and the same is true for the Hong Kong Film Awards. They especially favor Sunglasses King and Liang Chaowei.

Basically, in any Academy Award where there are two people participating, they will win the award nine times out of ten.

This also led to the reason why the two were not so interested in the Academy Award. Once Liang Chaowei even went to accept the award after drinking drunk.

Everyone chatted for a while, agreed on a time to sit together, and Zhou Runfa and others left.

At the same time, the production crew outside the venue had almost come, and the voice inside the venue gradually became quieter.

"It's finally starting!"

Zhao Fei, who was sitting next to Wu Jianye, said nervously.

"Hehe, are you nervous?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile.

"How is it possible!" Zhao Fei insisted.

With the appearance of the emcees of this Hong Kong Film Awards, Dudu Zheng Yuling and Chung Kam Fai, the [-]th Hong Kong Film Awards has officially begun!
