Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 400 Bitterness and Regret

There was a burst of exclamation in the screening room. Although it had been viewed several times, such bomb shots had already made many people feel amazed and scared.

Especially the little fat man next to Wu Yusen, when he leaned back, all the popcorn was spilled out, some of which were even sprinkled on his thigh.

But at this time, John Woo could no longer care about this trivial matter, because his heart was full of shock.

As a director, he could roughly guess how this scene was filmed. It was shocking that Chen Huajiang was so rich that he was so willing to spend money for a single shot.

Yes, it was obvious that a high-speed camera was used to show such an explosion impact, and the high-speed camera was near the explosives.

If nothing else, the camera must have been blown up.

The next scene is explosive, and the whole process is very exciting, until the final fight to the big boss's villa, which makes John Woo even more shocked.

How much will it cost?
This movie is a waste of money!
And he finally understood why the fat guy next to him said that once the movie started, there would be no time for popcorn.

This is indeed the case, John Woo's spirit was on the screen throughout the whole process, and even the popcorn that had been sprinkled on his crotch was only now free to pat it down.

"How about it, brother, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"This "Heroes and Glory 2" is really exciting. Isn't it much more exciting than "Heroes and Glory 1"?"

As the movie ended, the little fat man was still not satisfied, so he patted John Woo's thigh heavily and said excitedly.

He is obviously looking for support, just like most people who see a good baby and can't help but share it with others. All they want is the approval of others.

John Woo was so photographed that he took a breath of air and almost punched the opponent.

"Needless to say, "Heroes and Glory 2" is a big production, big scene and big explosion, and "Heroes and Glory 1" can't compare. However, there are some differences between the two. One is more delicate and the emotional line is handled better. The other is The scene is bigger and more beautiful.”

"Do you know about the lawsuit that is currently going on? John Woo is so shameless. He actually bribed the filmmakers to put the review of "Heroes Without Tears" on "Heroes Without Tears". I was deceived and suffered a loss in "Heroes Without Tears". I went to see it out of curiosity, and it made my eyes irritate."

"No, I don't know what the movie "Heroes Have No Tears" was about. Serving as a dog for Bald Eagle's FIB, is this still called a hero? It simply insults the word hero. "Heroes 2" is still better, Xiao Ma Ge San Brothers killing everyone, this is what a hero does."

After the screening ended, the surrounding audience naturally stood up one after another and started talking about the movie.

John Woo felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time he was also a little uninterested, and he let go of the fat man's pat on his thigh just now.

He pressed the brim of his hat and walked out, feeling a little regretful.

After leaving the cinema and walking on the street, the cold wind blew outside, and the regret in John Woo's heart became more and more obvious.

He always flattered himself, thinking that without him, the "Heroes" series would definitely not be filmed. "The Young Man" can be said to be lucky. The audience did not understand how to appreciate it. It happened that Hong Kong's popular club culture was caught by Chen Huajiang .

Moreover, he despises the movie "The Young Man" very much in his heart. How can such brotherly loyalty be compared with the brotherly loyalty in his "Heroes"?That is to say, only some students and young adults like to watch it, and they lack aesthetics.

But this "Heroes 2" slapped him in the face. It not only broke away from his style in the first film, but also created an alternative style.

This makes John Woo feel uncomfortable. He understands that with the popularity of the second part, the "Heroes" series no longer belongs to him. It's not that the copyright does not belong to him, but that even the director's imprint and style no longer belong to him.

"I really think highly of myself. It turns out that what Chen Huajiang said is right. It's hard to find three-legged toads, but people with two legs abound."

John Woo sighed with some frustration, then shook his head with a wry smile and prepared to go home.

This is also the reason why he has been hit one after another recently, and he has been hit so hard that even his heart has become a little dark.

When he returned home, John Woo saw his wife who was busy running around, and Mr. Shi was on the phone. When he saw him coming back, he put down the phone anxiously and stood up.

"Where have you been? You scared me to death."

"I heard Aaron say that you disappeared after being slapped by Dickson Pan. I thought you would be distracted from doing something stupid. I was contacting my friends to find you and was about to call the police."

With a nervous expression on his face, Mr. Shi said while pulling Wu Yusen's arm.

There was also a bit of anger and regret on her face. Pan Disheng had really gone too far.

Moreover, she regretted her original decision. After seeing her husband's career flourishing, she wanted to seek better development for him.

It happened that Pan Disheng entered the film and television industry, and she valued her husband's talent very much, and she was happy to spend money, which made her think that this could help her husband develop better.

As a result, one step at a time was wrong, and the husband's career not only failed to improve, but declined step by step, and he was humiliated by Dickson Pan to the point of being slapped in the face in public.

"I'm fine. I'm a little tired. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed early."

Wu Yusen waved his hand, took off the windbreaker and hung it on the hanger beside him, and then walked towards the bathroom.

"Wait a minute, Lao Wu, how about - let's break the contract and return the money to Pan Disheng."

Boy Shi suddenly pursed his lips and said while looking at John Woo's back.

She clenched her fists. She had had this idea in the afternoon, but after much thought, she could not decide.

It wasn't until he saw his husband's exhaustion that Mr. Shi made up his mind and said.

They took 800 million from Dickson Poon and later converted it into ten films. If they broke the contract, they would have to pay 4000 million, which is five times the break fee.

These were all written in the contract at the time. At that time, Dickson Poon was very optimistic about John Woo, so the break-up fee would certainly not be low.

Wu Yusen was stunned for a moment, and then said bitterly: "Don't think too much, there are still eight movies, I'll help him finish the filming."

Finished walking to the bathroom.

Mr. Shi looked at his back with an even firmer gaze.

As time goes by, "Heroes 2" is brilliant, breaking records, and has become the focus of discussion among everyone in Hong Kong.

And some Southeast Asian film producers have also come to Kunlun Entertainment Group to win the distribution rights of "Heroes 2" from them.

However, the share pressure is very low. Who said that Kunlun Entertainment Group has no distribution channels? The distribution rights are stuck in the hands of others.

The lowest among them actually wanted to buy out the distribution rights of "Heroes 100" in a certain country for 2 million, which made Li Min very angry.

When she called Chen Huajiang to report, she felt like she was gritting her teeth.

Chen Huajiang was also filled with anger when he heard that "Heroes 2" is so popular now, and any fool knows that if it is introduced in the past, it will be a big hit.They actually want to buy out the distribution rights for 100 million. This is simply ridiculous. Are they going to be dismissed as beggars?
