I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 189 Breaking the Record

A few days later, when Wan Qingshan was still being criticized on the Internet because of the kissing incident, "The City of Golden Armor" began to be officially released.

The road show made Zhang Weiping very happy and even felt proud.

Because, after the news spread that Wan Qingshan was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and "The Golden Globe" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the assistants of Gong Li and Zhou Runfa both called and said, Now that I have time, I can come to the road show. Even Zhang Yimou rushed back from the United States to participate in the road show.

"Director Wan, congratulations!"

"Sister Gong Li, it's just a nomination. How can I compare to you? You have already established yourself in Hollywood."

Seeing that Wan Qingshan still called her "sister" as usual, the smile on Gong Li's face became more natural.

"Director Zhang, Brother Fa."

Zhang Yimou said with a wrinkled smile, "Haha, Director Wan, congratulations."

"Director Zhang, I should congratulate you. Your movie has been shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film.

It is said that the Golden Globe Awards is the first stop for the Academy Awards, and I think the movie will definitely be nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. "

Zhang Yimou has already won enough awards from domestic film festivals. He has also won many awards from the three major European film festivals, but he has never won an Academy Award.

Coupled with the older generation's obsession with the Academy Awards, and his failed bids for the Academy Awards several times, the Academy Awards have almost become his nightmare.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan's congratulations made Zhang Yimou very happy.

"Haha, congratulations then, and I also wish you can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor."

Wan Qingshan never thought about winning the Best Actor Oscar. He was even confused about being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

"Congratulations." Zhou Runfa congratulated with a reluctant smile.

Wan Qingshan also understood that Zhou Runfa was embarrassed, so he just smiled.

After Zhou Jielun, Fan Bayi, and Ni Dahong congratulated Wan Qingshan, Gong Li pulled Wan Qingshan aside and whispered.

"Since you call me sister, I have more experience than you in some matters, so you have to think carefully about what I say next."

"Sister, tell me, I will consider it carefully and never let you down."

Gong Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You have such a sweet mouth, why did you act like a little brat when you chased your girlfriend before?"

"Sister, that's my girlfriend, she was just joking and talking nonsense."

Wan Qingshan was very helpless. Ever since reporters reported what Chen Yumo said at the premiere, people like Yu Bo would make fun of it while calling him to congratulate him on his nomination for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Award.

They knew clearly that things were not as Chen Yumo said, but they still joked about it, making Wan Qingshan very helpless.

Suddenly, Gong Li stopped paying attention to her appearance and started laughing without covering her mouth with her hands.

After laughing a few times, Gong Li stopped her smile and whispered,

"You could have gone to Hollywood a long time ago. Although I don't know why you didn't go before, but you have been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor this time. Many Hollywood companies will definitely invite you to go to Hollywood to develop.

As someone who has been there, let me tell you that you can go to Hollywood to develop your career, but you must not focus on developing your career there. You must also run your domestic acting career well.

Hollywood is very realistic. As long as you don't help them make money, they will abandon you immediately.

So you have to prepare a way out for yourself, and don't ignore your domestic acting career as soon as you get into Hollywood. "

Gong Li lowered her head and glanced at Zhou Runfa, and continued to whisper, "Also, you must adjust your mentality. Zhou Runfa has starred in several Hollywood movies as the male lead, and now he is almost abandoned by Hollywood. , but still can’t let go.

In the previous "Red Cliff", Wu Yusen planned to cast Zhou Yunfa, but Zhou Yunfa couldn't lower his arrogance and thought that even if Wu Yusen invited him to star in a domestic movie, he would be condescending and listed a lot of requirements, resulting in Wu Yusen not using him anymore. . "

Wan Qingshan felt a little weird!

Zhou Runfa can't put on airs, but it's not the same for you Gong Li. When you star in "The Golden Armor", you don't come to promote it. It's just that you are not as serious as Zhou Runfa. You still need a nanny car to act.

He was complaining like this in his heart, but Wan Qingshan didn't dare to say it with his mouth.

It wasn't because it would offend anyone, but more importantly, if it wasn't for his own good, Gong Li wouldn't have said this to him.

"Sister, I actually don't want to go to Hollywood at all. Look at me now, I invest on my own, make my own movies, and make my own decisions about my own movies, and my earnings are no less than those who go to Hollywood to work hard. Why do you think I want to go to Hollywood to develop?"

Gong Li looked at Wan Qingshan in surprise and asked with a strange expression, "You have never thought about becoming famous in Hollywood. Being famous in Hollywood means becoming famous all over the world. Don't you want to be like Jet Li and Cheng Long?"

"After becoming famous, it's not just about making money. Now I invest in making movies myself, and the money I make in a year is no less than Jet Li and Cheng Long, so why am I still thinking about going to Hollywood to become famous.

Sister, let me tell you, I want to go to Hollywood to develop, that is unless the Hollywood company allows me to invest in my own movies.

I have the right to take the lead in the movie, so whether I am an actor or a director, I am willing to make money.

Otherwise, I don't plan to go to Hollywood. "

"You are just daydreaming. There are only a handful of directors and actors who have been famous in Hollywood for many years.

If you want to develop in Hollywood if you meet these conditions, unless the Chinese-language films you direct and star in have a box office of over [-] million US dollars in the United States, then maybe a Hollywood company will offer you such conditions.

Otherwise, forget about investing in movies. As a director, you won’t even have editing rights. "

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but look at Zhang Yimou over there. It was originally rumored that "The Great Wall" failed because Zhang Yimou did not have the editing rights. As a result, the work that came out was not what Zhang Yimou wanted at all, so it failed. .

I don’t know if this rumor is true or not, but it is true that Hollywood movies are centered on producers.

If there is no box office performance, the director will not have the right to edit, let alone the right to choose actors.

And there is a planned plan for everything to be shot every day, and the director can only shoot meticulously according to the plan.

If the director wanted to add his own ideas, he would be kicked out by the producer the next day.

This kind of director can't even be considered a tool, because he can't be considered a human being, he's just a tool.

"I know it too, so I didn't want to go to Hollywood to develop my career. If I wanted to, I would have gone there long ago." Wan Qingshan said indifferently.

After Gong Li looked directly at Wan Qingshan for a few seconds, she whispered, "You are not like an actor or director at all. Actors and directors care more about fame. You only care about money, and you are more like a capitalist."

"Haha, I'm the boss of several companies now. If I'm not a capitalist, what am I?" Wan Qingshan laughed.

Gong Li smiled and said no more.

No Hollywood company would agree to Wan Qingshan's request. It was impossible for him to go to Hollywood to develop, so there was no need to tell Wan Qingshan what she had learned in Hollywood.

Wan Qingshan and Gong Li returned to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down for a while. Zhang Weiping arrived, and then everyone went out and got into several cars prepared by Zhang Weiping to go to the road show.

The first stop of the Beijing roadshow is the New Dongan Cinemas where the premiere of "Ip Man" was held.

After the movie ended, everyone in Wanqingshan entered the theater from the backstage.

"Ah, Zhou Runfa!"

"Ah! Wan Qingshan, I won the prize!"

,,,,
In the movie theater with nearly 100% occupancy, there were constant screams.

After the screams subsided a little, the host arranged by the theater quickly began to say,
"Dear viewers, the crew of "The Golden Armor" is here to meet fans. Time is limited. Please be quiet."

The theater soon fell silent, and then the host called on the audience to ask questions.

The first person to be named was a fat man, who asked Wan Qingshan angrily.

"Wan Qingshan, are you in contact with Liu Yifei now? Have you spoken on the phone? Have you met in person?"

"Haha."

,,,

Some in the audience burst into laughter.

"Viewer, please rest assured that Liu Yifei and I have not been in contact since we finished filming the commercial.

Of course, I have no contact with her, so you will have no contact with her! "

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"Haha, this is going to make me laugh to death!"

"Why didn't I find Director Wan so funny before?"

,,,,
As the audience laughed, the fat man returned the microphone to the staff with a slumped face.

Then, the second named audience went to Wanqing Mountain.

"Director Wan, does Miss Chen Yumo have any objections to you starring in passionate scenes in movies?"

"She had no objection, because I asked for her opinion before filming started, and she agreed, so I acted."

The third audience member went to Zhang Yimou and asked questions that were very similar to those asked by reporters.

"Director Zhang, many well-known film critics have called "The City of Gold" vulgar, and can even be called a pornographic film. They said that for the sake of box office, you have lost all the shame of being a human being and used female sex to attract the audience. What’s your answer to that?”

Zhang Yimou's face suddenly collapsed and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Wan Qingshan stretched out his hand to signal to the host.

After taking the microphone handed over by the host, Wan Qingshan smiled and said,

"This audience, you can actually know the answer to this question if you ask the audience present."

Wan Qingshan turned his eyes and asked the audience, "Why did you come to watch the movie?"

"I came here for you."

“Come watch the movie that conquered America.”

"I'm here to see Zhou Runfa."

,,,

Hearing the chaotic responses from the audience, Wan Qingshan smiled at the man who asked the question, "You heard everyone's answers."

A trace of disappointment flashed across the man's face.

The next few questions were all normal. Finally, Zhou Jielun sang "Chrysanthemum Terrace" live a cappella. The road show in this theater was over, and everyone got in the car and rushed to the next theater.

"Director Wan, thank you just now."

In the car, Zhang Yimou expressed his gratitude to Wan Qingshan.

"Director Zhang, this is nothing, it's just a problem."

Then Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, our show had a bad start. We encountered such an audience in the first show."

Zhang Yimou shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "I can't help it. The movie was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

It will attract many viewers to come to the theater to watch it, but at the same time many viewers will watch it with critical eyes. "

Zhang Yimou is really experienced, and he accurately predicted that during road shows in several theaters in Beijing, he would encounter difficult audiences.

Most of the questions were asked to Zhang Yimou, why are the women's clothes in the movie designed to be semi-murderous, why is the theme about forbidden love, and what do you want to express.

A small number of questions were asked about the plot of the actors, and some were asked about Wan Qingshan and why Yuan Xiang suddenly reported the secret.

Some asked Zhou Runfa why the king could endure it for so long even though he knew the queen was unfaithful, and others asked Gong Li why the queen fell in love with Yuan Xiang.

,,,,
After a whole day, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, and it took too much brain cells to deal with the audience's answers.

In the evening, everyone flew to the Magic City and checked into the hotel. Wan Qingshan packed up his things and was about to take a shower when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "Wan Dao!"

Hearing Zhang Weiping's voice, his tone full of joy, Wan Qingshan thought that the box office on the first day must be good.

Wan Qingshan walked over, opened the door, and saw an excited Zhang Weiping laughing, "Haha, Director Wan, the box office on the first day broke the record, 100 million!"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment. Although he had known for a long time that being nominated for the Golden Globe Award would lead to a huge increase in the box office of the movie, he did not expect that it would actually break the record of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave", and even raise the first-day box office record to 2000 million in one fell swoop. Ten thousand!

"Director Wan, let's go. I've booked a banquet downstairs for you, Zhou Runfa and the others. It's all your credit for the movie to be a hit. I'll give you a toast later."

Zhang Weiping was so excited that he immediately started to win over Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan said quickly, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, we have to continue the road show tomorrow, let's forget about this dinner."

"It's okay, it's okay. Director Wan, I know you don't drink. Don't worry, you can just have a drink later."

Zhang Weiping said so, and he reached out to pull someone, so Wan Qingshan could only agree.

Arriving at the private room on the lower floor of the hotel, Wan Qingshan chatted with Zhang Yimou, who had arrived early, while Gong Li and others came in one after another.

The box office on the first day exceeded 2000 million. Everyone was very happy, especially Fan Bayi. After the movie was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award, she was happy for Wan Qingshan and at the same time happy for herself.

Previously, "Ip Man" did not meet expectations in the United States. She thought she had failed to go abroad with commercial films, but she did not expect that "The Golden Flower" would be renewed for her.

Although she is only a supporting role, it is different if she is nominated for the Golden Globe Award. Coupled with the box office results of "Ip Man" in North America and Europe, it is not that there is not even a splash.

The two achievements combined were enough for her to get roles in some low-budget movies in Hollywood.

Although it was a low-budget role, it was still a major role and would appear in the subtitles. If she asked reporters to report on it, she would be an international superstar.

Perhaps the atmosphere has reached such a level that Zhang Weiping, Zhou Runfa, and Gong Li all temporarily put aside their dissatisfaction with each other and clink glasses.

Although we were very happy, everyone didn’t drink too late, and they dispersed after one o’clock.

Early the next morning, after everyone went downstairs, Fan Bayi, Gong Li, and Zhou Runfa looked at Zhang Weiping from time to time. They were all a little absent-minded while eating breakfast, even Zhang Yimou was the same.

"City of Gold" is released in China and the United States at the same time. Due to the time difference, the US box office will not be released until this morning.

The US box office of the movie is what Zhang Yimou is most concerned about, especially Gong Li and Zhou Runfa. Their current status in Hollywood is very embarrassing.

Gong Li said that Zhou Runfa was about to be abandoned by Hollywood, and she was no better off. The movie she starred in, "Miami Vice," which was released six months ago, did not meet expectations at the box office, causing Universal Pictures to not even recoup the cost.

Hollywood is very realistic. If it fails at the box office, resources from producers to actors will be degraded.

After "Miami Vice" was released, she only had "Hannibal" not released in Hollywood, and that was the movie invitation she received before "Miami Vice" was released.

After "Miami Vice" was released, Hollywood offered her offers for unsatisfactory film projects.

Don't take it into consideration that "Hannibal" hasn't been released yet. She now urgently needs a movie that will be a hit at the box office in the United States to change the status quo.

After finishing breakfast with half of the people distracted, Zhang Weiping's cell phone rang before everyone got up.

Gong Li and Zhou Runfa immediately looked at Zhang Weiping, so nervous that they even breathed a lot softer.

After Zhang Weiping answered the phone, his expression was as usual, and there was no indication from his face whether he was good or bad at the US box office.

"Okay, thank you, thank you!"

"Well, in five days."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Weiping just looked at everyone with a smile and said nothing. This made Zhang Yimou anxious and immediately asked,
"You have to tell me how much the box office is!"

"First day box office, $450 million!"

Before Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Gong Li and Zhou Runfa looked disappointed, but Zhang Yimou had a smile on his face.

As for Fan Bayi, she looked at the expressions of Gong Li and Zhang Yimou and felt very confused.

She didn't know whether US$450 million was good, because "Ip Man" had more than US$500 million at the box office on its first day, but it plummeted later on.

So she looked at the expressions of Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, but their expressions were completely contradictory, leaving her confused.

"450 million, is it time to increase the number of theaters?" Zhang Yimou asked excitedly.

Gong Li and Zhou Runfa both looked at Zhang Yimou, and then their expressions changed drastically. Their disappointment disappeared instantly, and they looked at Zhang Weiping expectantly.

They had just heard that it only received 450 million US dollars, and they were very disappointed. If the box office on the first day was 800 million, the total box office in the United States could exceed 7000 million US dollars, and their situation in Hollywood could be changed.

450 million US dollars, even if the subsequent box office trend is not bad, the total box office will only be 5000 US dollars at most, which will not help them at all.

They didn't think about the number of theaters at all, because they all thought that with the two of them here, plus Zhang Yimou as the director, and Wan Qingshan's previous "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" was also acceptable at the box office in the United States, there were With this lineup, the opening number should be high, but Zhang Yimou's words and expression made them realize that they were wrong.

"Haha, starting tomorrow, no, starting today, Paramount will increase the number of theaters to [-]. If the box office is good, the number of theaters will be increased in the future."

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Zhou Runfa quickly asked, "Mr. Zhang, how many restaurants will be opened?"

"Opening of the Five Hundred Pavilion."

Gong Li and Zhou Runfa both had joy on their faces.

Fan Bayi saw this and asked, "Is this box office considered good in the United States?"

When they were on the set, Fan Bayi had a normal relationship with Gong Li, but now is when Gong Li is happy, so she smiled and replied,

"Hollywood has a set of evaluations for movie box office, that is, if the box office of a single theater exceeds [-], it means that the box office has potential to be tapped. If the box office of a single theater is less than [-], it can be said that the box office has no potential.

Five hundred theaters, a box office of 450 million US dollars, and a single theater of [-] US dollars. This is a good result in Hollywood. "

Just as Fan Bayi smiled, Wan Qingshan curled his lips slightly and muttered in his heart, "This has to have a prerequisite, and that is European and American movies."

If we go by the standards mentioned by Gong Li, "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" would have had a box office of more than 1 yuan per theater, and in the end it only made more than 3000 million yuan.

This shows that Chinese-language movies do not meet that set of standards at all. Chinese-language movies have to be released for a period of time before the total box office can be estimated.

"By the way, in five days, everyone will go to the United States to promote."

As soon as Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Gong Li immediately replied with a smile, "No problem."

"No, problem!"

,,,

After Zhou Runfa and the others finished speaking, Wan Qingshan said, "Mr. Zhang, I won't go. As you know, my movie is still in post-production, so I can't leave!"

Wan Qingshan's words instantly silenced the excited atmosphere.

However, no one thinks that Wan Qingshan is pretending to be aloof. Wan Qingshan did not even go to the United States to promote "Loyalty and Bravery" and "Ip Man". This has been reported in the news for a long time.

"Director Wan, I understand that you are busy and don't have time to go. But Director Wan, please take the time to go to the Golden Globe Awards Gala!"

Everyone suddenly looked at Wanqing Mountain with expressions of disbelief.

Although I don’t know where Zhang Weiping knew that Wan Qingshan might not attend the Golden Globe Awards, when Zhang Weiping said this, his expression and tone did not seem to be joking, which shows that Zhang Weiping really knew that Wan Qingshan would not attend. Golden Globe Award!

Wan Qingshan was very surprised. He didn't know where Zhang Weiping got the news. He didn't plan to attend the Golden Globe Awards. He only told Chen Yumo.

Not going to the Golden Globe Awards evening was not because Wan Qingshan looked down on the Golden Globe Awards, nor was he pretending to be aloof.

But the Golden Globe Awards evening was on January 1th. At that time, he had to be busy with his wedding to Yumo, and his wedding to Yumo was scheduled for February 18th.

Nearly a month has passed, and it seems that there is plenty of time. After participating in the Golden Globe Awards and preparing for it, I have also won the award.

But his wedding had to be held twice, one was held in Beijing on February 2th, because it was difficult for Chen Yumo’s relatives from Grandpa Feng’s side to show up at a crowded wedding.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan followed Chen Yumo's idea and had to hold a Chinese-style wedding in the capital first.

Waiting until February 2th, he will go to Sanya to hold a Western-style wedding inviting relatives and friends. There are two weddings to prepare for, especially the first one is on February 14th. Plus it is the end of the year, he also has a lot to be busy with, so there is no time. Went to the Golden Globe Awards party.

"Uh, Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I really can't go. My wedding is in February, the Golden Globe Awards gala, and I really can't leave."

Except for Zhang Weiping and Fan Bayi, everyone looked stunned.

"You are not yet 30, so you are ready to get married at such a young age."

Gong Li was very surprised. After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Yimou and said with a different meaning, "It's better to get married early. You are more affectionate and intentional than some people!"

Zhang Yimou's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed!
Seeing this, Wan Qingshan recalled a small news report in his original life, saying that Zhang Yimou and Gong Li broke up. In addition to Zhang Weiping's obstruction, there was also the fact that Gong Li wanted to get married, but Zhang Yimou kept delaying.

Everyone understood what Gong Li meant when she said something else, causing everyone to lower their heads slightly, as if they didn't hear anything.

After the awkward atmosphere lasted for a few seconds, Zhang Weiping smiled and said, "Director Wan, the wedding is a major event in life. It's okay not to attend the Golden Globe Awards."

After the premiere, he received a call from Jiang Zhiqiang. Wan Qingshan was getting married at the end of the year. Don't delay Wan Qingshan's wedding because of the Golden Globe Awards.

Knowing that Wan Qingshan was getting married at the end of the year, Zhang Weiping knew that he was in trouble.

I have never participated in the promotion of "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" and "Ip Man" in the United States. You can see that Wan Qingshan has a passion for Hollywood. Unlike other domestic artists who think that Hollywood is the best place for artists, maybe Wan Qingshan is here for the wedding. Preparations, I really don’t want to attend the Golden Globe Awards!
A trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes, and they were all thinking that Zhang Weiping had taken the wrong medicine, and these words actually came out of his mouth.

You have to know that as long as "The Golden Globe" is extended for one week, the movie will still be released during the Golden Globe Awards. If Wanqingshan goes to Wanqingshan and wins the award, it will at least bring a lot of excitement to the movie. Tens of millions in box office.

Although Wanqingshan is not very award-winning, at least there is still a chance. If you don't participate, there will be no chance at all. It is absolutely impossible to award the Golden Globe Award to a Chinese who did not participate.

By awarding the award to a Chinese actor who did not attend, in the eyes of the outside world, the Golden Globe Awards are trying to please the Chinese, so the American people must not scold the judges of the Golden Globe Awards to death.

After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, he sighed in his heart. He also wanted Wan Qingshan to ignore the wedding and attend the Golden Globe Awards.

But on the day of the movie's premiere, the scene when Chen Yumo said lightly that he had changed the chairman of China Film Group Corporation was still vivid in my mind.

If he forced Wan Qingshan to attend the Golden Globe Awards and something went wrong at the wedding, Chen Yumo would have to find someone to destroy his new picture!
At this time, Fan Bayi smiled and said, "Director Wan, when will your wedding be held? Can I attend?"

Wan Qingshan looked hesitant. He was afraid that Fan Bayi would cause trouble at his wedding.

Wan Qingshan's hesitation made Fan Bayi instantly guess what Wan Qingshan was thinking.

"Director Wan, I just want to bless you."

Fan Bayi's words were a bit strange, and Wan Qingshan's reaction was also a bit strange, but everyone thought it was normal.

Regarding the scandal between Fan Bayi and Wan Qingshan, Wan Qingshan was worried that Fan Bayi would attend the wedding and make the bride unhappy. That was normal.

Looking at Fan Bayi who always had a smile on his face, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, when the invitation is ready, I will send it to you personally."

"Okay, Director Wan, you can give it to me personally, then I have to prepare a generous gift."

Next, no one asked for invitations from Wanqingshan.Fan Bayi's company is owned by Wanqingshan Company. The two of them are considered partners. It is normal for them to ask for invitations because of their close relationship.

But they are not. If Wanqingshan did not intend to invite them to participate, then if they took the initiative to ask for the invitation, it would not make both parties stand down.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a few words and started to continue the road show.

Because I was going to the United States for promotion in five days, the road show plan was changed midway. After the road show in Shanghai, I flew to Guangzhou that night.

On the second day of release, with domestic sales of just over 2000 million and US$650 million in the United States, everyone's enthusiasm for the road show has somewhat dissipated.

After a day of roadshow in Guangzhou, we went to Shenzhen that evening.

On the third day of release, because it was a Saturday, the domestic single-day box office was 500 million US dollars and the US was 760 million US dollars. The enthusiasm of everyone's road show came back. ,

Then after a day of roadshow in Shenzhen, Wan Qingshan left the crew and got in the car to go to Chen Yumo's place.

Before the movie was released, Wan Qingshan told Zhang Weiping that he would come to the roadshows in the Mainland whenever he had time, but he would not go to the promotions in Hong Kong.

Wan Qingshan also knew that he was very unpopular with Hong Kong's film and television circles and media circles, so he simply didn't bother to go to Hong Kong to avoid causing trouble like before.
