China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 583 First Arrival in Hong Kong Island
Hong Kong Island, a city once known as the "Pearl of the Orient", has attracted the attention of countless people with its prosperity and vitality.

Driving down the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island, you feel like you are wandering between prosperity and dilapidation. A second ago, there were majestic and modern skyscrapers, row after row, with swords and swords flashing, and you are greeted by a sense of the future and technology; Just around the corner, there are rusty, dilapidated buildings and bustling, narrow and chaotic streets.

“It feels so bad here”

Perhaps because it was Lao Li who was driving in the front seat, Liu Yifei lowered her voice and complained to Sun Yi.

The two of them were taking a car to inspect the film scenes. Sun Yi was leading the team, and Liu Yifei was forced to join in. It was said that seeing the filming scenes in advance would help her get into the mood, and their driver today was Lao Li.

Sun Yi finally convinced Director Tong Gang to change the background of the entire film to before the handover in 97. At that time, the Hong Kong Island Police Force was still affiliated with the British Hong Kong government, so there was no so-called allusion to reality. This way, it will be more contrasting anyway.

The review of this film just passed.

In order to seize the time, Sun Yi didn't waste any more time and took the team to charter a plane and flew straight to Hong Kong Island. After landing, he didn't do anything as soon as he landed. He directly met up with Lao Li and began to survey and select locations.

In the car, although Liu Yifei's voice was low, it was still heard by Lao Li in the front seat. He looked in the rearview mirror and smiled to himself.

"Beautiful girl, it doesn't matter. I don't have any taboos. This is how this place is."

Lao Li was very free and easy, but it made Liu Yifei stick out her tongue in embarrassment.

Sun Yi's views are actually the same as Liu Yifei's. When he first came to Hong Kong Island, he was also full of the longing for Hong Kong movies in his childhood. However, when he actually arrived, he realized that it was difficult to live up to the prestigious reputation.

That's it? ??
Any Chinese who has lived in any provincial capital city in the motherland will probably feel this way.

However, Sissi has been here many times, how did she find out?
Sun Yi asked curiously: "I remember you have been here many times, but have you never visited?"

Liu Yifei shook her head. In her impression, Hong Kong Island was a very prosperous city.

"I have indeed been here before, but it was only for promotional activities. Time was very tight, so I didn't go shopping much. The only two times were with my mother."

Looking at Sun Yi's still questioning eyes, Liu Yifei added awkwardly;
"Well, I'm shopping in a big mall."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Sun Yi smiled. No wonder Xiao Nizi seemed to see the real Hong Kong Island for the first time. The few times she visited before the relationship were all prosperous places, and she went shopping in large shopping malls.

He cast his gaze outside the car again. The city had long since lost its splendor. On the surface, it was bright and beautiful, but behind it, there was already some decay, just like the current Hong Kong film and television industry.

Top actors have fled, enjoying the mainland market and living a sought-after life, while the bottom actors can only make ends meet.

Why does Furuta Raku make so many bad movies, but still works tirelessly? Doesn’t he know how much a bad movie can hit an actor?
Of course he knows, but as one of the few leading actors still remaining in the Hong Kong film and television industry, investors only recognize him. If he doesn't act, the film will not be successful, so will the following staff and low-level actors , you can’t work and you can’t eat.

Therefore, that is the reason why, although he has acted in so many bad movies, no one has ever put the title "King of Bad Movies" on his head.

This time, in addition to the staff of Xingkong, Sun Yi also asked Lao Li to gather a group of experts. He was not surprised that some people would refuse due to public opinion issues some time ago, but in fact, there were no such people.

When they heard that it was Sun Yi, a great director from the Mainland, they all agreed. At most, they asked how much the salary could be.

Lao Li and Sun Yi introduced in detail the current internal environment of the Hong Kong film and television industry.

Needless to say, those top actors who are well-known to domestic audiences will always have something to eat no matter how bad the industry is. In fact, these people are the first to invest in the mainland.

The remaining second tier people want to develop in the mainland, but they can't let go of their arrogance. They want to maintain super-class treatment and make big money.

This group of people is the mainstream of this wave of public opinion confrontation, and they stick together tightly, influencing many ordinary Hong Kong residents.

As for the people at the bottom, they also want to develop in the mainland, but due to various reasons, they are unable to do so.

These people do not mean they are of poor quality. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The once prosperous Hong Kong film and television industry has cultivated a large number of high-quality talents. However, they often have no background and cannot integrate into the mainstream circle.

Sun Yi's arrival this time gave them such a choice. Including the extras and local staff, all had been properly arranged by Lao Li before Sun Yi arrived.

In one afternoon, Lao Li took Sun Yi to several selected venues. Sun Yi was very satisfied after watching it. It was full of strong Hong Kong film elements. It seemed that he was right to ask for help from landowners like Lao Li. , if you come by yourself, you are not familiar with the place, and you don’t know how much time you will waste.

Since we have chosen to shoot an authentic Hong Kong film, the shooting speed is also very important.

That night, Boss Yang of Yinghuang Entertainment learned that Sun Yi and his party had arrived in Hong Kong, and warmly invited him to the dinner, saying that he wanted to support him.

Sun Yi readily agreed and attended with Liu Yifei.

Because Sun Yi had requested it before, the occasion was not as big as it was. The banquet was similar to a family banquet, with no outsiders. During the dinner, Sun Yi and Boss Yang exchanged business compliments for a while, and finally talked about investment.

Sun Yi originally thought that giving him 10% of Yinghuang would be enough for the previous cooperative relationship. Unexpectedly, Boss Yang was not satisfied and wanted to increase the share in a roundabout way.

He also used Brother Cheng Long to play the emotional card. On the way to promote the movie "Kung Fu Dream" in the United States, he called Sun Yi specifically. He was full of regrets that he could not return to Hong Kong to be a landlord. Please, Boss Yang, must do it. Treat Sun Yi well for him.

At the same time, he was very enthusiastic about taking care of Sun Yi, saying that he would definitely use his contacts to greet him for this shooting, and would never let any scornful people affect Sun Yi's shooting.

Sun Yi thought, brother Cheng Long still had to give him face, and indeed, there was no guarantee that no one would get carried away and do something outrageous in his territory.

He was not afraid, but he couldn't commit the crime at all. In this case, he simply doubled the amount of investment in Yinghuang to 20%.

However, Sun Yi is not a fool. Since you are also involved in the investment and are ready to share the money with me, then don't blame my brother Ming for settling the score.

The number one commercial director in the Mainland, with the Palme d'Or bonus at Cannes, the remuneration for one film is 1000 million plus % of the box office share, which is not too much.

Four days of marriage, the most popular fairy sister in the entire Chinese-speaking circle, plays a cameo role of a few minutes, and she doesn't need to be paid. She should be given a red envelope of 100 million, which can be used as travel expenses.

As for other actors under Starry Sky, they were all paid according to the market price. In the end, the salary expenditure for the entire movie reached 2000 million RMB, and the overall production budget also reached 5000 million RMB, which was a full hundred million higher than Sun Yi's original plan. Fifty percent.

But even so, Boss Yang still agreed wholeheartedly. In his heart, regardless of how much he earns, being able to participate in Sun Yi's movie is a business that is sure to make money without losing money. What more bicycles are needed? After passing this village They didn't even own this store. With a stroke of a pen, the contract was signed on the spot, leaving Liu Yifei speechless.

When I went back in the evening, I still held my teeth open, revealing a row of pink tooth flowers, and showed off to Sun Yi happily.

"For just a few minutes of my role, I can earn 100 million. This money is so profitable."

Sun Yi was particularly amused when he saw Xiao Nizi's hopeless look.

You only made 100 million, which is less than half of what I paid for it. Others paid 200 million for one day. Even if the scene lasted only a few minutes, it would have taken at least two days to film it. Compared with others, it was much worse.

Back at the hotel where they were staying, as soon as the two got out of the car, a dark shadow quickly passed by the two of them, almost causing Liu Yifei to fall, causing Xiao Nizi to scream in surprise.

"What are you doing?" Sun Yi was furious. He blocked Liu Yifei with his body and shouted at the black shadow.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow was not afraid at all. Instead, he was used to it. He picked up a camera very neatly and pointed it at the two of them and took a picture.

Sun Yi was furious and was about to snatch it away, but Liu Yifei held him tightly.

At this time, the hotel security also came after hearing the news and drove away the paparazzi. The lobby manager who followed closely apologized to Sun Yi and Liu Yifei.

"Sorry, Mr. Sun, Ms. Liu, these paparazzi are like this. There is nothing you can do with them. You can't catch them, you can't touch them, you can only drive them away. Otherwise, you will be charged with lawsuits. Our hotel did not do its job well tonight, please. Please forgive me, Mr. Sun and Ms. Liu.”

The location where the two got off the bus was still some distance from the hotel gate. The security guard was not the fault of this matter. Sun Yi was not an unreasonable person. He accepted the apology from the lobby manager, but he still felt a little unhappy.

On his first day in Hong Kong, he felt the arrogance of the Hong Kong paparazzi.
