spn "It's really unbelievable that someone like Liu Luanxiong has been taken to this level. I've heard of it. In the past few months, Liu Luanxiong has begged many people, not just some officials from the mainland , He even visited several rich men in the Hong Kong city in person, but after spending so much effort, it was of no use at all. In the past few months, this rich man has become much slimmer!" A person in the car The slender and majestic woman said sarcastically,
"It's really unexpected that Liu Luanxiong, who was all-powerful a few months ago, is now showing signs of going bankrupt. To be honest, although I have heard of the reputation of the overseas Tang family before, I never thought that the Tang family would have such a powerful family. strength, and the Tang family was controlled by two teenagers after Mr. Tang and Tang Shu's father passed away, if he had known earlier, no matter how bold Liu Luanxiong was, he would not have dared to provoke the Tang family." The other one was very handsome. The middle-aged man sighed and said that the changes in the Hong Kong City in the past few months have made these people who are familiar with the ups and downs of the Hong Kong City somewhat overwhelmed.
"Hey, many people thought it was a piece of fat, or they felt that the companies established by the Tang family in Hong Kong City took up their own interests, so they made a move. It can be said that these people are already cautious enough. Those people It can be said that no one thought they would fail at the beginning. Everyone underestimated the Tang family overseas. They thought that the Tang family with only two children left was no threat. Who knew that they were getting more and more arrogant, and the young people He is even more youthful and vigorous, and his counterattack after being provoked is even more fierce." The thin middle-aged man said again,
The characters in this car are not ordinary, and they all have extraordinary influence and popularity in Hong Kong City. Except for the big-nosed elder brother Cheng Long, the thin but majestic woman is a famous figure in the Hong Kong music scene and even in Hong Kong City. Sister Mei Yanfang, who has a good reputation in Southeast Asia and the whole world, is a handsome middle-aged man. Although she is not as famous as her eldest brother Cheng Long and her eldest sister Mei Yanfang, she should not be underestimated. This is a very famous mover in Hong Kong City. The director of the film, Tang Jili, and the thin middle-aged man at the end are even more famous.This is Zou Wenhuai, the owner of Golden Harvest who has successively won the two big names of Bruce Lee and Cheng Long.
It is no accident that these people appeared here. They proposed to Tang Shu about a visit more than a month ago, but Tang Shu was busy with a concert tour in Europe at that time, so they made an appointment in Huaxia, just these two days .Tang Shu had some free time.Notified them directly.Although the status and status of Tang Shu are extraordinary now, even these great figures in the memory of Tang Shu's previous life have to be respectful and obedient in front of Tang Shu, but Tang Shu doesn't want people to think that he is playing big cards. [
"Now those few families, namely the new ship king, are doing better. But they are still very embarrassed, but they are relying on their huge foundation to hold on. I heard that overseas, the various investments of the new ship king have been sniped. Time is also exhausting. They are still in the best situation! You also know the situation on the side of the Black Society. At the beginning, when Chiqi took the initiative to expand, they were able to parry a little, but they were beaten to nothing after a while. It has been greatly affected, but now the red flag is rising, if it is not for the check and balance of the Hong Kong government, they will probably be kicked out of Hong Kong!"
Zou Wenhuai said casually, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"I can't help it. Although the foundation is very deep, the Tang family is too ruthless. Now that I think about the situation in Taiwan and Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, I am a little scared. At that time, I almost thought that a war broke out. A powerful opponent. What is the black society?! Those guys used to smear the Tang family because of some industries in Hong Kong. They have nothing to do. Speaking of it, the most unbelievable thing for me is that Taiwan and the United Kingdom did not express anything when such a thing happened.
Well, let’s forget about the mainland and Taiwan. Now everyone knows the background of the overseas Tang family. It is reasonable and reasonable for these two families to let them go lightly. But what is going on in the UK?It's unbelievable that they just condemned it and then acted as if nothing happened?Could it be that the overseas influence of the Tang family can actually influence the policies of the British government? "
Brother Cheng Long also turned his head and said strangely,
"Who knows, but haven't you read the news a while ago? That guy was a big hit in the UK. Not to mention being invited by Princess Diana, he even refused the honors prepared by the White House. It doesn't make sense that a kid who is only 15 years old has such confidence and arrogance!" Mei Yanfang sighed, her expression full of admiration and puzzlement.
"Hey, isn't it? I was taken aback when I saw the news. It was a very important honor awarded by the UK. Not to mention the actual benefits, but the potential conveniences are all very desirable. Countless British people Wanting to find an honor, but being abandoned by others like a shoe. It is indeed proud, but he also has this qualification. The President of the United States invites him, and he will not be rejected by others. It is not surprising to refuse the honor this time.
Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. In Hong Kong, many people have been looking forward to the title of Sir Taiping all their lives, but they can't get it at all. Such a comparison is really frustrating.During this period of time in Hong Kong, I heard a lot of people who were envious and jealous. " Tang Jili said with a wry smile,
"It's not a big deal. In fact, many people in Hong Kong know that the title of shit is not to appease the Chinese. It wants us to accept the influence of Western countries and cause trouble for the mainland. We are not white. They win us over Naturally, there is a purpose, those guys who complained about Tang Shu's refusal to award honors are all fools, they have been raised and matured, and they really regard themselves as members of the Western world." Zou Wenhuai said very disdainfully, this big boss It makes sense.
"This time Liu Luanxiong has recruited so many people, but it is useless at all. It is probably not only because of the power of the Tang family, but also related to the upper echelons of the mainland. It is estimated that the upper echelons of the mainland are also due to the fact that many people in Hong Kong City have been too busy in recent years. It’s too much, so a little beating can be regarded as a warning to them. The British have abided by the treaty honestly, and Hong Kong people can still turn the world upside down. Many people are crazy. The mainland is just estimating the public opinion of the country and society. It’s true Think of yourself as something!"
Zou Wenhuai's words made several people in the car silent for a while. The words of this smart boss are obviously very convincing.
Looking at his eldest brother Cheng Long, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "Aaron, there are actually reasonable answers to your doubts just now. The British government is fundamentally optimistic about the chaos in Hong Kong. You should have known that in the past few years, The various actions of the Hong Kong government are to suppress the development of Hong Kong. Although it seems to be hidden, it is not without flaws. Many people know that although the situation in Hong Kong is exaggerated this time, the British government will not pay attention to it.”
Cheng Long was silent, thinking about various situations over the years.It was clear in his heart that he had similar thoughts before, but because the last Hong Kong attack was too hot, he ignored it.
"As for the Tang family, hey. Now who can tell how powerful the Tang family really is. Over the years, apart from gaining a foothold in the United States and being treated fairly by the white society, the Tang family has always been quiet. , did not make any big moves at all, which is why Liu Luanxiong and the new ship king dared to do it, just like those mercenaries who suddenly appeared last time, um. Speaking of mercenaries, I think the most professional soldiers are nothing more than that Yes. There are forces from other countries cooperating with the suppression, which is already incredible.
But no one dared to say that the Tang family had tried their best, because it was impossible, even though those few were considered big men in Hong Kong and even in Asia.But such offenses and provocations did not exceed a certain limit, and the Tang family could not suppress them with all their strength, so no one knew how many hidden forces were still hidden.And since the Tang family chose such a fierce counterattack last time.Pretty sure they don't care that something like this affects them.Perhaps it was because of the cloak of mercenaries that made other forces avoid accusations. Of course, it is more likely that they were able to make all parties acquiesce in this incident.
To be honest, I have always been in awe of Mr. Tang, not only because of Mr. Tang's various achievements in that era, but also because of Mr. Tang's various abilities, he was highly respected by both parties, and even went overseas Still standing tall, how much power such a character has buried over the years, who can know that? ! "
As he said that, Zou Wenhuai also shook his head, sighing all over his face, obviously a little shocked that such a Chinese family could exist in this world.
"And now, although there are only two children left in the Tang family, these two children are not ordinary. They did not embarrass Mr. Tang, and they even came out of the blue. That Miss Tang Shi, who was just an adult, was able to control the hugeness of the Tang family. The foundation has been maintained safely, which is unbelievable enough. The other one is even more exaggerated. He is only a little older, not to mention all kinds of reputation in the world. Over time, Tang Jiaming's superficial foundation has been greatly improved, and it can even be said to be completely doubled. Based on this alone, no one dares to call himself a genius in front of him.
Some time ago, after the release of Shengtang Software’s poetry and book system, I have read various reports. Many authoritative media in the United States believe that if the companies established by the Tang family in the past few years go public, someone in the Tang family will definitely be called the top ten richest people in the world. Even the top three are very likely.Thinking about it, I really feel that I have lived in vain for so many years. Compared with others, I am nothing. "[
Zou Wenhuai said with admiration that he didn't know how to praise the only two remaining children of the Tang family.
"Most industries have the Tang family's industries, but the influence of these enterprises is enough. Coupled with the great reputation of Tang Shu in the world today, this man has the confidence to refuse the invitation of the President of the United States, and it is not necessary to refuse the honor of the United Kingdom." It feels incredible."
"Indeed. Such a character is Chinese, which makes us proud. Moreover, this person is also very caring for his fellow villagers. Guorong has also said it a few times, not just Guorong and them. I heard that the mainland went to the United States. This person also provided a lot of help when filming TV dramas. This kind of character is very convincing. No wonder the Tang family has a huge influence in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Both children can influence the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association." Brother Cheng Long nodded,
"Well, as long as it doesn't touch the interests and dignity of the Tang family, the other party is really easy to talk to and is willing to help the same family. So this time I came to visit him specially. Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are no longer brilliant, and because of the pressure from Western countries, The Hong Kong government abolished the entertainment tax, causing Hollywood movies to flock in. The Hong Kong movies can be said to be defeated, not to mention the Southeast Asian market, and even our local market. If you don’t think of a way, it’s really embarrassing!”
Zou Wenhuai frowned.Especially when I think about the situation of Hong Kong movies in the past two years, I feel a little depressed. Since the 90s, Hong Kong movies have gradually declined, and they have been blown low in the Hong Kong media circle.But as one of the few big film companies in Hong Kong.Zou Wenhuai naturally didn't want his business to decline like this, so he tried every means to develop.
"Aaron, you are already one of the most famous players in Hong Kong. It can be said that you have reached a peak. If you want to continue to develop, you can only find a bigger market, so if you want to go to Hollywood to develop, I also support it, at least If you get out of the way, it is also good for Hong Kong movies, and it can also provide us with a successful model, but Hollywood is not so easy to mess with. Well, we have tried it a long time ago. People there discriminate against us Chinese. no more.
The point is that the aesthetics over there are very different from ours, and your situation is also different from that of Bruce Lee. At that time, Bruce Lee broke into Hollywood with his kung fu, and it was because of his novelty that he had such a big influence.Later, the response from the European and American markets gradually declined.So if you want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, in addition to maintaining your own style, you must also adapt to the habits of Hollywood movies. "
Zou Wenhuai said in a deep voice, as if thinking of the obstacles he encountered in Europe and America over the years.His tone was also a little heavy.
Cheng Long nodded. He respected the thin and unremarkable middle-aged man in front of him, not to mention that he was an old man in the industry.He has always maintained a strong influence in the Hong Kong film circle, only because of the other party's consistent support for him.Just let him be grateful.
"So this time I specially came to visit Tang Shu. He has a huge enough influence in Hollywood. If you can get some help from him, it will be of great benefit to you and us. Hey, I didn't know before. Well, after getting to know him, I admire Tang Shu more and more. Three years ago, the Tang family had a film company, which was still very run-down, but now, Sheng Tang Film Company has been ranked among the seven largest film companies in Hollywood in the world. , even because of the achievements in the past two years, the word of mouth is better.
In addition to the Shengtang Film Company, which has sufficient distribution channels and even has a large number of theaters, the emergence of Shengtang Media is even more amazing. In a short period of time, it has used a large amount of funds for mergers and acquisitions. Even the network spreading towards Canada, relying on brilliant programs and creative ideas, has enabled Shengtang Media to develop rapidly. It can be said that the Tang family must not be ignored in the American film and television media circle. "
"So, although I am not very old, I really admire Tang Shu. Not to mention anything else, the creativity in his mind alone is admirable. He and I are also colleagues, and sometimes I admire his photos very much. method, I heard that he always consumes very little film for filming movies, because there are not many extra shots at all, it is unbelievable to think about it." Tang Jili said with admiration,
"Haha, Geely regards Tang Shu as his idol. He is only in his teens, and he has gone to Oscar twice, and won the grand prize every time. I really don't know if there will be an Oscar about Tang Shu in a few decades. A special record of the book." Cheng Long said with a smile,
"A movie with a box office of more than one billion US dollars is really shocking. To be honest, before Jurassic Park was released in Southeast Asia, I didn't take it seriously at all. Later, I saw many people went to see it with their families. It’s like a discounted product, which shocked me. I’ve seen the movie once, and I can say that the special effects and creativity are really picky. That movie also really broke the control of Hong Kong movies on the local market. ah!
It seems that since then, Hollywood movies have also been adored by fans in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia.At that time, because Jurassic Park deliberately revised the box office statistics method of Hong Kong movies, I felt ashamed when I thought about it. The only thing that made me feel better was that the director of such a movie was also a Chinese, which finally made us save a little face. "Cheng Long sighed,
It is precisely because he discovered the turbulent momentum of Hollywood movies in Asia today, while Hong Kong movies are declining day by day, and even makes people somewhat unable to see the future direction, Cheng Long really made up his mind to make a career in Hollywood.
"Well, his movies are really good. When I first watched Jurassic Park, I was also stunned. The development of modern technology is really advancing by leaps and bounds. The special effects technology makes it impossible to tell whether it is true or not. Unfortunately, our Hong Kong After all, this place is still too small, the market is small, and the income is small, so no one is willing to expand investment. One movie is only the cost of special effects. It is enough for us to shoot more than a dozen movies, and it is normal that it cannot be compared." Mei Yan Fang said lightly, this big sister in the music scene has also shot a lot of movies and played many classic roles.
"However, what I admire more is his musical talent, not to mention his creation. Many people can create. But his singing voice is really incredible. Although many singers sing very contagiously, but Compared with the effect of Tang Shu’s singing, it’s nothing worth mentioning. I was so shocked when I listened to his records, I even forgot about other things and devoted myself to listening, but after coming to the concert in person , Only then did I realize how dreamy his singing voice is. To be honest. That is to say, his singing sounds can be said to be heavenly, and it really has the ability to linger for three days."
Mei Yanfang was amazed and admired,
"I've also listened to his first three albums. At that time, although his singing voice was excellent, it was still in the normal range. Since this year, his singing voice has that special magic power. I really don't know how he did it? As long as he does not regress, it can be said that no one in the world can compare with him. With such a singer, no, it should be called a singer. Well, singer is not suitable to describe him. Perhaps the god of music is more appropriate. In short, Being born in the same era as him is a tragedy for all singers, but a blessing for countless fans." Mei Yanfang said.Although she is the eldest sister of the Hong Kong music scene, she is a queen-level singer in Asia.This one is more aware of the significance of Tang Shu's singing.
"After we meet in a while, you can ask for advice in person!" Zou Wenhuai smiled, saw that the car had already driven to the gate of the courtyard, and signaled for it, and got out of the car first, staring at the elegant and solemn gate, his eyes full of amazement, " It is estimated that this house can be regarded as an antique!"
Cheng Long and Tang Jili also nodded in agreement. Where can we see such a huge and classical building in the small territory of Hong Kong. [
After Zou Wenhuai was notified, someone soon came out to welcome them, leading them into the courtyard, browsing the small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, terraces, terraces and attics along the way, whether they were grand or delicate or elegant, which made them feel a little bit different. dizzying.After walking for a long time, the few people clearly knew the huge area of this courtyard. Under the leadership of the waiter, the few people came to the living room...
Just after Zou Wenhuai and others notified the concierge, Ka Qiusha also informed Tang Shu of the news. Tang Shu, who was getting together with Jia Jingwen, nodded, and Jia Jingwen, who was beside him, looked at Tang Shu, very understanding said,
"If you have something to do, go and do it first. I'm wandering around. The scenery here is so beautiful. I wanted to take a closer look before. Just call me when you're done."
Tang Shu lightly kissed Jia Jingwen's smooth face, "Okay, be careful yourself, don't catch a cold." Waving his hand, Tang Shu walked towards the living room. Although Tang Shu didn't know who came this time, Their purpose, but whether it is the eldest brother Cheng Long or the eldest sister Mei Yanfang, they are people Tang Shu admired very much in his previous life, so Tang Shu didn't want to be rude, because he didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, and it was the first time they met. It's convenient to take Jia Jingwen with you.
Jia Jingwen also understood a little bit, maybe she didn't know it very well, but she knew her identity very well, and she didn't have the extravagant hope to get involved in Tang Shu's business.Now she is also thinking quickly. Now that she has found a safe haven like Tang Shu, obviously she doesn't need to worry too much, she just needs to enjoy such a safe life. Of course, she must also strive to attract more Tang Shu. Book.
Although they have never met in person, Tang Shu is no stranger to the images of these people, not to mention the memories of his previous life. Some time ago, after Zou Wenhuai proposed the idea of visiting, Tang Shu's assistants sent several people together. The detailed information of the people was sent to Tang Shu's desk, and there were of course their recent photos on it.And it is similar to Zou Wenhuai and others.
Since he took the initiative to come to visit, it is natural not to be confused about the face of the other party.After meeting in the living room, several people greeted each other as usual, and their expressions were also very gentle. Well, after shaking hands with his eldest brother Cheng Long and Mei Yanfang, the smile on Tang Shu's face became more sincere, and his heart became more sincere. It's happiness blooming, as expected of the eldest brother Cheng Long and the eldest sister Mei Yanfang, the amount of spiritual energy in the two of them can be called huge.
After Tang Shu absorbed this, he felt very good. He already had a good impression of these two, and now it is even better.
"To be honest, I have admired you for a long time. I have watched many movies of Brother Long and Sister Fang, and of course I have listened to many songs by Sister Fang. Both of them are important Chinese stars. Existence, as does Director Tang. Several of your works are excellent and have their own characteristics. Not to mention Mr. Zou, he has always been the pillar of the Hong Kong film industry. The films produced by your company have set enough records for Hong Kong films. name!"
Tang Shu watched the people sit down, and said with a smile on his face, everyone loves to hear good things.Especially from the mouth of a person with extraordinary status like Tang Shu.It makes the other party happy and even a little excited.But in the end, they were all people on the scene, and each of them was full of compliments. Of course, this was for them.Not against their will, Tang Shu's achievements really made them admire.
"Mr. Tang, to tell you the truth, I came to visit you specially this time, but I have a request for you." Zou Wenhuai looked at the atmosphere.Dang opened his mouth and said, his face was full of pleading expressions, and he didn't feel at all that it was wrong for him to pose such a low profile in front of Tang Shu, who was only 15 years old at his age.
Tang Shu was stunned. He was really a little surprised. These people in front of him all had enough status in Hong Kong, and they hadn't heard of any difficulties they encountered. They are extremely poor, at most they earn less.So what will happen then?Could it be that the Tang family's retaliation involved them in Hong Kong?In other words, these people are also here to be lobbyists?
Lobbyists are probably unlikely, because there are quite a few people who want to be lobbyists in the past few months, and most of them are more powerful than the few in front of them.They hadn't even seen Tang Shu's face, it's impossible that well-informed people like Zou Wenhuai didn't know the news, and naturally they wouldn't offend Tang Shu for other people's affairs, because it wasn't worth it for them.
Thinking in my heart.Tang Shu said without hesitation, "Mr. Zou just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely do my best."
Zou Wenhuai didn't care about Tang Shu's slick answer at all. He nodded happily and began to preach,
"Mr. Tang is a leader in our industry, and Sheng Tang has also established a branch in Hong Kong, so you should have a certain understanding of the current situation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially the Hong Kong film industry, which is declining day by day. It’s a bit flattering to say. Since entering the 90s, many media have reported one after another. The most popular headline is “Hong Kong Films Are Dead”. Of the major film companies in Hong Kong in the 80s, only Golden Harvest is still lingering, and other companies have withdrawn. This line."
Tang Shu's expression corrected following Zou Wenhuai's words. Of course, this was just Tang Shu's intentional appearance, and he still had no idea what Zou Wenhuai meant. Could it be that this person wanted to join Tang Shu to save the Hong Kong film industry?Although Young Master Tang thinks that he has supernatural powers, he does not dare to have similar thoughts. The decline of Hong Kong movies can be said to be almost doomed.There are countless internal and external factors, and Tang Shu has read many similar analyzes in the memory of his previous life. This is not something that can be saved by one person or a few people. It is good to be able to be alone.
"To be honest, for those of us in the industry, this situation is very painful, not only because of reduced profits or even losses, but also because of deeper reasons, which have always been rooted in this industry, no matter what the purpose of entering the industry is, It's inevitable that everyone will have feelings for this industry. I am the same. So I am very interested to see if there is another way out,
Nowadays, Hollywood movies are aggressively conquering Southeast Asia, which is the traditional ticket warehouse of Hong Kong movies, and now it is almost reduced. Not only that, but even Hong Kong itself has been greatly impacted. Movies can conquer our position. I really want to know if we can enter the European and American markets. "Zou Wenhuai said seriously,
Tang Shu was a little stunned. Regarding Zou Wenhuai's high-sounding words, Tang Shu only regarded them as a gust of wind. Such an old fox always cared about his own interests, even if there were other reasons.Obviously, Zou Wenhuai took a fancy to Tang Shu's influence in Hollywood in Europe and America, and hoped to get Tang Shu's help in Europe and America.
Regarding this point, Tang Shu has no special feeling. This kind of help is nothing. As long as it does not exceed the rules, it will have no effect on Tang Shu. On the contrary, it can be thanked by Zou Wenhuai and others. Why not do it, What Tang Shu needs to provide is just an opportunity, and whether they can stand out depends on their own ability, otherwise, even if Tang Shu provides distribution channels and theaters, they can only choose to retreat if they are not strong enough.
"No problem. I'm very happy to see Chinese-language movies spread to the world. This is the truth. Because we all know that similar movies can be regarded as a kind of cultural export. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Our The market is occupied. It means that we are gradually accepting the Western world view. Regarding this, I have no good way to do it. I only hate myself for not being good enough. I can only try to add some Eastern thoughts and cultures to my films. But other There is no other way.
It's good that Mr. Zou has this idea. After all, you have always been the pillars of oriental films, and you know more about oriental culture than me.As long as Mr. Zou has ideas, you can cooperate with Sheng Tang. "
"Thank you. What Mr. Tang said made me feel hot. The term cultural export is also very vivid. But I am ashamed to say that I am really not that noble. I am more concerned about my own interests." Zou Wenhuai said,
Tang Jili, Cheng Long, and Mei Yanfang on one side also lamented a few words about Tang Shu's words, because they were born in Hong Kong, and they often received Western cultural education. The words of the book can be regarded as understanding the meaning of the so-called cultural export.But they are also a little embarrassed.Because they themselves are very clear, as Zou Wenhuai said, most of the time, they are also for their own interests, and their ideas are not so lofty.
"This is what it should be. No matter how noble the goal is, you must first meet your own needs." Tang Shu said with a smile. Seeing that Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long were hesitant to speak, Tang Shu understood what they were thinking .With a sigh, he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Zou, I understand your difficulties. There has always been serious discrimination against Chinese people in the western world. For our movies, what they want to see is similar to the kind of life that expresses feudal oppression and poverty in the past like the red lanterns hanging high. , because that would satisfy their sense of superiority and also meet their requirements to smear us. As for other movies, they would often be suppressed or even dismissed by them.
This is not because of the quality of the film, nor is it purely because of the aesthetics of Eastern and Western audiences, but also because of deep political issues, so I will not ask Mr. Zou how much your films promote oriental culture. We have to ensure survival first, and then we can think about other things.I am also aware of this, so you don't have to worry, Mr. Zou. "
Zou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Tang Shu was too idealistic just now, but the facts have proved that the young man who can make such a big name in the world is definitely not that kind of unrealistic person, and Zou Wenhuai also found that Tang Shu's After some remarks, there is no requirement for Zou Wenhuai and others, but because of these words, people have a high respect for him, which is also the art of language.
"It's also because our national strength is not strong enough, otherwise we wouldn't be oppressed by Western countries in all aspects!" Mei Yanfang, who was sitting on the side, expressed her feelings. This eldest sister is definitely a sensible person, and she directly hit the most important point things.
"Take your time, as Mr. Tang said, first ensure our survival, and then consider our ideals." Zou Wenhuai nodded, then took out a document from the handbag beside him, and handed it to Tang Shu ,
"In the past two years, I have been thinking about opening up the European and American markets and giving Hong Kong movies more living space, but I have had this idea before, except that Bruce Lee had a place in Hollywood because of his kung fu. All of my temptations ended in failure. After such a long time, I can be regarded as having a certain degree of certainty.
It happened that Aaron wanted to go to Hollywood to show his talents, so we prepared a script according to Aaron's style. Amei is the heroine, and Geely is the director. hope.This is the script. I hope Mr. Tang can read it and give him some experience. After all, you know the taste of Hollywood and American audiences best. "
When Zou Wenhuai said this, Tang Shu knew which movie it was, and it was probably Cheng Long’s classic Hong Fan District, which was filmed in the United States and achieved good results after it was released, especially for Hong Kong movies. The results are very good.This movie also allowed American audiences to really get to know Cheng Long and his unique funny kung fu style, which made Cheng Long finally get his wish and successfully entered Hollywood.
In fact, as early as the 80s, Cheng Long and Golden Harvest tried to enter the North American market. The failure of the large-scale investment in Cannon almost made Cheng Long completely discouraged by Hollywood. It's not a work of Jiahe at all, Jiahe is more like a pure investor in that work.So naturally it will not be counted on my own head.
"I know that Hollywood has always had big investments and big productions, so this time, I'm going to go all out and spend a lot of money to see if the North American market can accept our style." Zou Wenhuai said very generously , in Hong Kong, the capital of film production has always been well controlled, even stingy. Big investment is often not considered by the bosses. In other words, Hong Kong is too small.
Tang Shu nodded, his eyes seemed to be checking the script. In fact, Tang Shu didn't need to read the script at all. Regarding the movie in Hongfan District, Tang Shu was very impressed, not only because the movie was exciting enough, but also because This movie has created many records in the history of Chinese movies.It can be said that the reason why the movie Red Fan District has achieved certain results in North America is more because this movie caters to the tastes of Western audiences.
The plot is simple and direct, and all kinds of fights are hearty. Of course, there will be no shortage of the big brother Cheng Long. It is said that the big brother Cheng Long has an extraordinary status in the Hong Kong film industry, and his great achievements. The fight for life is also of great importance.In order to make a film, Cheng Long can be said to be scarred and even nearly died in order to shoot a thrilling scene. This kind of danger is not enough to describe it as hard work.
In this red fan district, the 40-year-old eldest brother Cheng Long is still as crazy as ever, but Cheng Long has always given people the feeling of not being old, as if no matter how old he is, he is still the tough guy who can fight and dare to fight.
"Very good script, in line with Long Ge's unique style. Not to mention, the story can also be easily understood by American audiences. Even if there are some minor incomprehensions, they will be ignored. I believe that this time the Red Fan District I will definitely achieve satisfactory results in the United States." Tang Shu looked at Zou Wenhuai and Tang Jili, and said with a smile, Tang Shu's evaluation immediately made them feel relieved, and there was a little joy on their faces.
"To be honest, Brother Long's kung fu, especially the style that makes people want to laugh and sometimes cry, is very good. If it weren't for the difference in aesthetics between the East and the West, Brother Long should have been famous in Hollywood long ago. This time you It will definitely be successful, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." Tang Shu looked at Cheng Long again and said,
"Thank you!" Brother Long nodded excitedly. Although Tang Shu was only talking in the vernacular, with his achievements, he was still very trustworthy.
..............................
spn "It's really unbelievable that someone like Liu Luanxiong has been taken to this level. I've heard of it. In the past few months, Liu Luanxiong has begged many people, not just some officials from the mainland , He even visited several rich men in the Hong Kong city in person, but after spending so much effort, it was of no use at all. In the past few months, this rich man has become much slimmer!" A person in the car The slender and majestic woman said sarcastically,
"It's really unexpected that Liu Luanxiong, who was all-powerful a few months ago, is now showing signs of going bankrupt. To be honest, although I have heard of the reputation of the overseas Tang family before, I never thought that the Tang family would have such a powerful family. strength, and the Tang family was controlled by two teenagers after Mr. Tang and Tang Shu's father passed away, if he had known earlier, no matter how bold Liu Luanxiong was, he would not have dared to provoke the Tang family." The other one was very handsome. The middle-aged man sighed and said that the changes in the Hong Kong City in the past few months have made these people who are familiar with the ups and downs of the Hong Kong City somewhat overwhelmed.
"Hey, many people thought it was a piece of fat, or they felt that the companies established by the Tang family in Hong Kong City took up their own interests, so they made a move. It can be said that these people are already cautious enough. Those people It can be said that no one thought they would fail at the beginning. Everyone underestimated the Tang family overseas. They thought that the Tang family with only two children left was no threat. Who knew that they were getting more and more arrogant, and the young people He is even more youthful and vigorous, and his counterattack after being provoked is even more fierce." The thin middle-aged man said again,
The characters in this car are not ordinary, and they all have extraordinary influence and popularity in Hong Kong City. Except for the big-nosed elder brother Cheng Long, the thin but majestic woman is a famous figure in the Hong Kong music scene and even in Hong Kong City. Sister Mei Yanfang, who has a good reputation in Southeast Asia and the whole world, is a handsome middle-aged man. Although she is not as famous as her eldest brother Cheng Long and her eldest sister Mei Yanfang, she should not be underestimated. This is a very famous mover in Hong Kong City. The director of the film, Tang Jili, and the thin middle-aged man at the end are even more famous.This is Zou Wenhuai, the owner of Golden Harvest who has successively won the two big names of Bruce Lee and Cheng Long.
It is no accident that these people appeared here. They proposed to Tang Shu about a visit more than a month ago, but Tang Shu was busy with a concert tour in Europe at that time, so they made an appointment in Huaxia, just these two days .Tang Shu had some free time.Notified them directly.Although the status and status of Tang Shu are extraordinary now, even these great figures in the memory of Tang Shu's previous life have to be respectful and obedient in front of Tang Shu, but Tang Shu doesn't want people to think that he is playing big cards. [
"Now those few families, namely the new ship king, are doing better. But they are still very embarrassed, but they are relying on their huge foundation to hold on. I heard that overseas, the various investments of the new ship king have been sniped. Time is also exhausting. They are still in the best situation! You also know the situation on the side of the Black Society. At the beginning, when Chiqi took the initiative to expand, they were able to parry a little, but they were beaten to nothing after a while. It has been greatly affected, but now the red flag is rising, if it is not for the check and balance of the Hong Kong government, they will probably be kicked out of Hong Kong!"
Zou Wenhuai said casually, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"I can't help it. Although the foundation is very deep, the Tang family is too ruthless. Now that I think about the situation in Taiwan and Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, I am a little scared. At that time, I almost thought that a war broke out. A powerful opponent. What is the black society?! Those guys used to smear the Tang family because of some industries in Hong Kong. They have nothing to do. Speaking of it, the most unbelievable thing for me is that Taiwan and the United Kingdom did not express anything when such a thing happened.
Well, let’s forget about the mainland and Taiwan. Now everyone knows the background of the overseas Tang family. It is reasonable and reasonable for these two families to let them go lightly. But what is going on in the UK?It's unbelievable that they just condemned it and then acted as if nothing happened?Could it be that the overseas influence of the Tang family can actually influence the policies of the British government? "
Brother Cheng Long also turned his head and said strangely,
"Who knows, but haven't you read the news a while ago? That guy was a big hit in the UK. Not to mention being invited by Princess Diana, he even refused the honors prepared by the White House. It doesn't make sense that a kid who is only 15 years old has such confidence and arrogance!" Mei Yanfang sighed, her expression full of admiration and puzzlement.
"Hey, isn't it? I was taken aback when I saw the news. It was a very important honor awarded by the UK. Not to mention the actual benefits, but the potential conveniences are all very desirable. Countless British people Wanting to find an honor, but being abandoned by others like a shoe. It is indeed proud, but he also has this qualification. The President of the United States invites him, and he will not be rejected by others. It is not surprising to refuse the honor this time.
Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. In Hong Kong, many people have been looking forward to the title of Sir Taiping all their lives, but they can't get it at all. Such a comparison is really frustrating.During this period of time in Hong Kong, I heard a lot of people who were envious and jealous. " Tang Jili said with a wry smile,
"It's not a big deal. In fact, many people in Hong Kong know that the title of shit is not to appease the Chinese. It wants us to accept the influence of Western countries and cause trouble for the mainland. We are not white. They win us over Naturally, there is a purpose, those guys who complained about Tang Shu's refusal to award honors are all fools, they have been raised and matured, and they really regard themselves as members of the Western world." Zou Wenhuai said very disdainfully, this big boss It makes sense.
"This time Liu Luanxiong has recruited so many people, but it is useless at all. It is probably not only because of the power of the Tang family, but also related to the upper echelons of the mainland. It is estimated that the upper echelons of the mainland are also due to the fact that many people in Hong Kong City have been too busy in recent years. It’s too much, so a little beating can be regarded as a warning to them. The British have abided by the treaty honestly, and Hong Kong people can still turn the world upside down. Many people are crazy. The mainland is just estimating the public opinion of the country and society. It’s true Think of yourself as something!"
Zou Wenhuai's words made several people in the car silent for a while. The words of this smart boss are obviously very convincing.
Looking at his eldest brother Cheng Long, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile, "Aaron, there are actually reasonable answers to your doubts just now. The British government is fundamentally optimistic about the chaos in Hong Kong. You should have known that in the past few years, The various actions of the Hong Kong government are to suppress the development of Hong Kong. Although it seems to be hidden, it is not without flaws. Many people know that although the situation in Hong Kong is exaggerated this time, the British government will not pay attention to it.”
Cheng Long was silent, thinking about various situations over the years.It was clear in his heart that he had similar thoughts before, but because the last Hong Kong attack was too hot, he ignored it.
"As for the Tang family, hey. Now who can tell how powerful the Tang family really is. Over the years, apart from gaining a foothold in the United States and being treated fairly by the white society, the Tang family has always been quiet. , did not make any big moves at all, which is why Liu Luanxiong and the new ship king dared to do it, just like those mercenaries who suddenly appeared last time, um. Speaking of mercenaries, I think the most professional soldiers are nothing more than that Yes. There are forces from other countries cooperating with the suppression, which is already incredible.
But no one dared to say that the Tang family had tried their best, because it was impossible, even though those few were considered big men in Hong Kong and even in Asia.But such offenses and provocations did not exceed a certain limit, and the Tang family could not suppress them with all their strength, so no one knew how many hidden forces were still hidden.And since the Tang family chose such a fierce counterattack last time.Pretty sure they don't care that something like this affects them.Perhaps it was because of the cloak of mercenaries that made other forces avoid accusations. Of course, it is more likely that they were able to make all parties acquiesce in this incident.
To be honest, I have always been in awe of Mr. Tang, not only because of Mr. Tang's various achievements in that era, but also because of Mr. Tang's various abilities, he was highly respected by both parties, and even went overseas Still standing tall, how much power such a character has buried over the years, who can know that? ! "
As he said that, Zou Wenhuai also shook his head, sighing all over his face, obviously a little shocked that such a Chinese family could exist in this world.
"And now, although there are only two children left in the Tang family, these two children are not ordinary. They did not embarrass Mr. Tang, and they even came out of the blue. That Miss Tang Shi, who was just an adult, was able to control the hugeness of the Tang family. The foundation has been maintained safely, which is unbelievable enough. The other one is even more exaggerated. He is only a little older, not to mention all kinds of reputation in the world. Over time, Tang Jiaming's superficial foundation has been greatly improved, and it can even be said to be completely doubled. Based on this alone, no one dares to call himself a genius in front of him.
Some time ago, after the release of Shengtang Software’s poetry and book system, I have read various reports. Many authoritative media in the United States believe that if the companies established by the Tang family in the past few years go public, someone in the Tang family will definitely be called the top ten richest people in the world. Even the top three are very likely.Thinking about it, I really feel that I have lived in vain for so many years. Compared with others, I am nothing. "[
Zou Wenhuai said with admiration that he didn't know how to praise the only two remaining children of the Tang family.
"Most industries have the Tang family's industries, but the influence of these enterprises is enough. Coupled with the great reputation of Tang Shu in the world today, this man has the confidence to refuse the invitation of the President of the United States, and it is not necessary to refuse the honor of the United Kingdom." It feels incredible."
"Indeed. Such a character is Chinese, which makes us proud. Moreover, this person is also very caring for his fellow villagers. Guorong has also said it a few times, not just Guorong and them. I heard that the mainland went to the United States. This person also provided a lot of help when filming TV dramas. This kind of character is very convincing. No wonder the Tang family has a huge influence in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States. Both children can influence the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association." Brother Cheng Long nodded,
"Well, as long as it doesn't touch the interests and dignity of the Tang family, the other party is really easy to talk to and is willing to help the same family. So this time I came to visit him specially. Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are no longer brilliant, and because of the pressure from Western countries, The Hong Kong government abolished the entertainment tax, causing Hollywood movies to flock in. The Hong Kong movies can be said to be defeated, not to mention the Southeast Asian market, and even our local market. If you don’t think of a way, it’s really embarrassing!”
Zou Wenhuai frowned.Especially when I think about the situation of Hong Kong movies in the past two years, I feel a little depressed. Since the 90s, Hong Kong movies have gradually declined, and they have been blown low in the Hong Kong media circle.But as one of the few big film companies in Hong Kong.Zou Wenhuai naturally didn't want his business to decline like this, so he tried every means to develop.
"Aaron, you are already one of the most famous players in Hong Kong. It can be said that you have reached a peak. If you want to continue to develop, you can only find a bigger market, so if you want to go to Hollywood to develop, I also support it, at least If you get out of the way, it is also good for Hong Kong movies, and it can also provide us with a successful model, but Hollywood is not so easy to mess with. Well, we have tried it a long time ago. People there discriminate against us Chinese. no more.
The point is that the aesthetics over there are very different from ours, and your situation is also different from that of Bruce Lee. At that time, Bruce Lee broke into Hollywood with his kung fu, and it was because of his novelty that he had such a big influence.Later, the response from the European and American markets gradually declined.So if you want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, in addition to maintaining your own style, you must also adapt to the habits of Hollywood movies. "
Zou Wenhuai said in a deep voice, as if thinking of the obstacles he encountered in Europe and America over the years.His tone was also a little heavy.
Cheng Long nodded. He respected the thin and unremarkable middle-aged man in front of him, not to mention that he was an old man in the industry.He has always maintained a strong influence in the Hong Kong film circle, only because of the other party's consistent support for him.Just let him be grateful.
"So this time I specially came to visit Tang Shu. He has a huge enough influence in Hollywood. If you can get some help from him, it will be of great benefit to you and us. Hey, I didn't know before. Well, after getting to know him, I admire Tang Shu more and more. Three years ago, the Tang family had a film company, which was still very run-down, but now, Sheng Tang Film Company has been ranked among the seven largest film companies in Hollywood in the world. , even because of the achievements in the past two years, the word of mouth is better.
In addition to the Shengtang Film Company, which has sufficient distribution channels and even has a large number of theaters, the emergence of Shengtang Media is even more amazing. In a short period of time, it has used a large amount of funds for mergers and acquisitions. Even the network spreading towards Canada, relying on brilliant programs and creative ideas, has enabled Shengtang Media to develop rapidly. It can be said that the Tang family must not be ignored in the American film and television media circle. "
"So, although I am not very old, I really admire Tang Shu. Not to mention anything else, the creativity in his mind alone is admirable. He and I are also colleagues, and sometimes I admire his photos very much. method, I heard that he always consumes very little film for filming movies, because there are not many extra shots at all, it is unbelievable to think about it." Tang Jili said with admiration,
"Haha, Geely regards Tang Shu as his idol. He is only in his teens, and he has gone to Oscar twice, and won the grand prize every time. I really don't know if there will be an Oscar about Tang Shu in a few decades. A special record of the book." Cheng Long said with a smile,
"A movie with a box office of more than one billion US dollars is really shocking. To be honest, before Jurassic Park was released in Southeast Asia, I didn't take it seriously at all. Later, I saw many people went to see it with their families. It’s like a discounted product, which shocked me. I’ve seen the movie once, and I can say that the special effects and creativity are really picky. That movie also really broke the control of Hong Kong movies on the local market. ah!
It seems that since then, Hollywood movies have also been adored by fans in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia.At that time, because Jurassic Park deliberately revised the box office statistics method of Hong Kong movies, I felt ashamed when I thought about it. The only thing that made me feel better was that the director of such a movie was also a Chinese, which finally made us save a little face. "Cheng Long sighed,
It is precisely because he discovered the turbulent momentum of Hollywood movies in Asia today, while Hong Kong movies are declining day by day, and even makes people somewhat unable to see the future direction, Cheng Long really made up his mind to make a career in Hollywood.
"Well, his movies are really good. When I first watched Jurassic Park, I was also stunned. The development of modern technology is really advancing by leaps and bounds. The special effects technology makes it impossible to tell whether it is true or not. Unfortunately, our Hong Kong After all, this place is still too small, the market is small, and the income is small, so no one is willing to expand investment. One movie is only the cost of special effects. It is enough for us to shoot more than a dozen movies, and it is normal that it cannot be compared." Mei Yan Fang said lightly, this big sister in the music scene has also shot a lot of movies and played many classic roles.
"However, what I admire more is his musical talent, not to mention his creation. Many people can create. But his singing voice is really incredible. Although many singers sing very contagiously, but Compared with the effect of Tang Shu’s singing, it’s nothing worth mentioning. I was so shocked when I listened to his records, I even forgot about other things and devoted myself to listening, but after coming to the concert in person , Only then did I realize how dreamy his singing voice is. To be honest. That is to say, his singing sounds can be said to be heavenly, and it really has the ability to linger for three days."
Mei Yanfang was amazed and admired,
"I've also listened to his first three albums. At that time, although his singing voice was excellent, it was still in the normal range. Since this year, his singing voice has that special magic power. I really don't know how he did it? As long as he does not regress, it can be said that no one in the world can compare with him. With such a singer, no, it should be called a singer. Well, singer is not suitable to describe him. Perhaps the god of music is more appropriate. In short, Being born in the same era as him is a tragedy for all singers, but a blessing for countless fans." Mei Yanfang said.Although she is the eldest sister of the Hong Kong music scene, she is a queen-level singer in Asia.This one is more aware of the significance of Tang Shu's singing.
"After we meet in a while, you can ask for advice in person!" Zou Wenhuai smiled, saw that the car had already driven to the gate of the courtyard, and signaled for it, and got out of the car first, staring at the elegant and solemn gate, his eyes full of amazement, " It is estimated that this house can be regarded as an antique!"
Cheng Long and Tang Jili also nodded in agreement. Where can we see such a huge and classical building in the small territory of Hong Kong. [
After Zou Wenhuai was notified, someone soon came out to welcome them, leading them into the courtyard, browsing the small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, terraces, terraces and attics along the way, whether they were grand or delicate or elegant, which made them feel a little bit different. dizzying.After walking for a long time, the few people clearly knew the huge area of this courtyard. Under the leadership of the waiter, the few people came to the living room...
Just after Zou Wenhuai and others notified the concierge, Ka Qiusha also informed Tang Shu of the news. Tang Shu, who was getting together with Jia Jingwen, nodded, and Jia Jingwen, who was beside him, looked at Tang Shu, very understanding said,
"If you have something to do, go and do it first. I'm wandering around. The scenery here is so beautiful. I wanted to take a closer look before. Just call me when you're done."
Tang Shu lightly kissed Jia Jingwen's smooth face, "Okay, be careful yourself, don't catch a cold." Waving his hand, Tang Shu walked towards the living room. Although Tang Shu didn't know who came this time, Their purpose, but whether it is the eldest brother Cheng Long or the eldest sister Mei Yanfang, they are people Tang Shu admired very much in his previous life, so Tang Shu didn't want to be rude, because he didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, and it was the first time they met. It's convenient to take Jia Jingwen with you.
Jia Jingwen also understood a little bit, maybe she didn't know it very well, but she knew her identity very well, and she didn't have the extravagant hope to get involved in Tang Shu's business.Now she is also thinking quickly. Now that she has found a safe haven like Tang Shu, obviously she doesn't need to worry too much, she just needs to enjoy such a safe life. Of course, she must also strive to attract more Tang Shu. Book.
Although they have never met in person, Tang Shu is no stranger to the images of these people, not to mention the memories of his previous life. Some time ago, after Zou Wenhuai proposed the idea of visiting, Tang Shu's assistants sent several people together. The detailed information of the people was sent to Tang Shu's desk, and there were of course their recent photos on it.And it is similar to Zou Wenhuai and others.
Since he took the initiative to come to visit, it is natural not to be confused about the face of the other party.After meeting in the living room, several people greeted each other as usual, and their expressions were also very gentle. Well, after shaking hands with his eldest brother Cheng Long and Mei Yanfang, the smile on Tang Shu's face became more sincere, and his heart became more sincere. It's happiness blooming, as expected of the eldest brother Cheng Long and the eldest sister Mei Yanfang, the amount of spiritual energy in the two of them can be called huge.
After Tang Shu absorbed this, he felt very good. He already had a good impression of these two, and now it is even better.
"To be honest, I have admired you for a long time. I have watched many movies of Brother Long and Sister Fang, and of course I have listened to many songs by Sister Fang. Both of them are important Chinese stars. Existence, as does Director Tang. Several of your works are excellent and have their own characteristics. Not to mention Mr. Zou, he has always been the pillar of the Hong Kong film industry. The films produced by your company have set enough records for Hong Kong films. name!"
Tang Shu watched the people sit down, and said with a smile on his face, everyone loves to hear good things.Especially from the mouth of a person with extraordinary status like Tang Shu.It makes the other party happy and even a little excited.But in the end, they were all people on the scene, and each of them was full of compliments. Of course, this was for them.Not against their will, Tang Shu's achievements really made them admire.
"Mr. Tang, to tell you the truth, I came to visit you specially this time, but I have a request for you." Zou Wenhuai looked at the atmosphere.Dang opened his mouth and said, his face was full of pleading expressions, and he didn't feel at all that it was wrong for him to pose such a low profile in front of Tang Shu, who was only 15 years old at his age.
Tang Shu was stunned. He was really a little surprised. These people in front of him all had enough status in Hong Kong, and they hadn't heard of any difficulties they encountered. They are extremely poor, at most they earn less.So what will happen then?Could it be that the Tang family's retaliation involved them in Hong Kong?In other words, these people are also here to be lobbyists?
Lobbyists are probably unlikely, because there are quite a few people who want to be lobbyists in the past few months, and most of them are more powerful than the few in front of them.They hadn't even seen Tang Shu's face, it's impossible that well-informed people like Zou Wenhuai didn't know the news, and naturally they wouldn't offend Tang Shu for other people's affairs, because it wasn't worth it for them.
Thinking in my heart.Tang Shu said without hesitation, "Mr. Zou just say it. As long as I can help, I will definitely do my best."
Zou Wenhuai didn't care about Tang Shu's slick answer at all. He nodded happily and began to preach,
"Mr. Tang is a leader in our industry, and Sheng Tang has also established a branch in Hong Kong, so you should have a certain understanding of the current situation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, especially the Hong Kong film industry, which is declining day by day. It’s a bit flattering to say. Since entering the 90s, many media have reported one after another. The most popular headline is “Hong Kong Films Are Dead”. Of the major film companies in Hong Kong in the 80s, only Golden Harvest is still lingering, and other companies have withdrawn. This line."
Tang Shu's expression corrected following Zou Wenhuai's words. Of course, this was just Tang Shu's intentional appearance, and he still had no idea what Zou Wenhuai meant. Could it be that this person wanted to join Tang Shu to save the Hong Kong film industry?Although Young Master Tang thinks that he has supernatural powers, he does not dare to have similar thoughts. The decline of Hong Kong movies can be said to be almost doomed.There are countless internal and external factors, and Tang Shu has read many similar analyzes in the memory of his previous life. This is not something that can be saved by one person or a few people. It is good to be able to be alone.
"To be honest, for those of us in the industry, this situation is very painful, not only because of reduced profits or even losses, but also because of deeper reasons, which have always been rooted in this industry, no matter what the purpose of entering the industry is, It's inevitable that everyone will have feelings for this industry. I am the same. So I am very interested to see if there is another way out,
Nowadays, Hollywood movies are aggressively conquering Southeast Asia, which is the traditional ticket warehouse of Hong Kong movies, and now it is almost reduced. Not only that, but even Hong Kong itself has been greatly impacted. Movies can conquer our position. I really want to know if we can enter the European and American markets. "Zou Wenhuai said seriously,
Tang Shu was a little stunned. Regarding Zou Wenhuai's high-sounding words, Tang Shu only regarded them as a gust of wind. Such an old fox always cared about his own interests, even if there were other reasons.Obviously, Zou Wenhuai took a fancy to Tang Shu's influence in Hollywood in Europe and America, and hoped to get Tang Shu's help in Europe and America.
Regarding this point, Tang Shu has no special feeling. This kind of help is nothing. As long as it does not exceed the rules, it will have no effect on Tang Shu. On the contrary, it can be thanked by Zou Wenhuai and others. Why not do it, What Tang Shu needs to provide is just an opportunity, and whether they can stand out depends on their own ability, otherwise, even if Tang Shu provides distribution channels and theaters, they can only choose to retreat if they are not strong enough.
"No problem. I'm very happy to see Chinese-language movies spread to the world. This is the truth. Because we all know that similar movies can be regarded as a kind of cultural export. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Our The market is occupied. It means that we are gradually accepting the Western world view. Regarding this, I have no good way to do it. I only hate myself for not being good enough. I can only try to add some Eastern thoughts and cultures to my films. But other There is no other way.
It's good that Mr. Zou has this idea. After all, you have always been the pillars of oriental films, and you know more about oriental culture than me.As long as Mr. Zou has ideas, you can cooperate with Sheng Tang. "
"Thank you. What Mr. Tang said made me feel hot. The term cultural export is also very vivid. But I am ashamed to say that I am really not that noble. I am more concerned about my own interests." Zou Wenhuai said,
Tang Jili, Cheng Long, and Mei Yanfang on one side also lamented a few words about Tang Shu's words, because they were born in Hong Kong, and they often received Western cultural education. The words of the book can be regarded as understanding the meaning of the so-called cultural export.But they are also a little embarrassed.Because they themselves are very clear, as Zou Wenhuai said, most of the time, they are also for their own interests, and their ideas are not so lofty.
"This is what it should be. No matter how noble the goal is, you must first meet your own needs." Tang Shu said with a smile. Seeing that Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long were hesitant to speak, Tang Shu understood what they were thinking .With a sigh, he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Zou, I understand your difficulties. There has always been serious discrimination against Chinese people in the western world. For our movies, what they want to see is similar to the kind of life that expresses feudal oppression and poverty in the past like the red lanterns hanging high. , because that would satisfy their sense of superiority and also meet their requirements to smear us. As for other movies, they would often be suppressed or even dismissed by them.
This is not because of the quality of the film, nor is it purely because of the aesthetics of Eastern and Western audiences, but also because of deep political issues, so I will not ask Mr. Zou how much your films promote oriental culture. We have to ensure survival first, and then we can think about other things.I am also aware of this, so you don't have to worry, Mr. Zou. "
Zou Wenhuai breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Tang Shu was too idealistic just now, but the facts have proved that the young man who can make such a big name in the world is definitely not that kind of unrealistic person, and Zou Wenhuai also found that Tang Shu's After some remarks, there is no requirement for Zou Wenhuai and others, but because of these words, people have a high respect for him, which is also the art of language.
"It's also because our national strength is not strong enough, otherwise we wouldn't be oppressed by Western countries in all aspects!" Mei Yanfang, who was sitting on the side, expressed her feelings. This eldest sister is definitely a sensible person, and she directly hit the most important point things.
"Take your time, as Mr. Tang said, first ensure our survival, and then consider our ideals." Zou Wenhuai nodded, then took out a document from the handbag beside him, and handed it to Tang Shu ,
"In the past two years, I have been thinking about opening up the European and American markets and giving Hong Kong movies more living space, but I have had this idea before, except that Bruce Lee had a place in Hollywood because of his kung fu. All of my temptations ended in failure. After such a long time, I can be regarded as having a certain degree of certainty.
It happened that Aaron wanted to go to Hollywood to show his talents, so we prepared a script according to Aaron's style. Amei is the heroine, and Geely is the director. hope.This is the script. I hope Mr. Tang can read it and give him some experience. After all, you know the taste of Hollywood and American audiences best. "
When Zou Wenhuai said this, Tang Shu knew which movie it was, and it was probably Cheng Long’s classic Hong Fan District, which was filmed in the United States and achieved good results after it was released, especially for Hong Kong movies. The results are very good.This movie also allowed American audiences to really get to know Cheng Long and his unique funny kung fu style, which made Cheng Long finally get his wish and successfully entered Hollywood.
In fact, as early as the 80s, Cheng Long and Golden Harvest tried to enter the North American market. The failure of the large-scale investment in Cannon almost made Cheng Long completely discouraged by Hollywood. It's not a work of Jiahe at all, Jiahe is more like a pure investor in that work.So naturally it will not be counted on my own head.
"I know that Hollywood has always had big investments and big productions, so this time, I'm going to go all out and spend a lot of money to see if the North American market can accept our style." Zou Wenhuai said very generously , in Hong Kong, the capital of film production has always been well controlled, even stingy. Big investment is often not considered by the bosses. In other words, Hong Kong is too small.
Tang Shu nodded, his eyes seemed to be checking the script. In fact, Tang Shu didn't need to read the script at all. Regarding the movie in Hongfan District, Tang Shu was very impressed, not only because the movie was exciting enough, but also because This movie has created many records in the history of Chinese movies.It can be said that the reason why the movie Red Fan District has achieved certain results in North America is more because this movie caters to the tastes of Western audiences.
The plot is simple and direct, and all kinds of fights are hearty. Of course, there will be no shortage of the big brother Cheng Long. It is said that the big brother Cheng Long has an extraordinary status in the Hong Kong film industry, and his great achievements.
