Movie tycoon

Chapter 666 Planning "League of Assassins"

Chen Xiaotang can avoid reporters, movie fans, and music fans, but there is a group of people he can't avoid, that is his group of buddies, commonly known as "iron buddies", "confidantes", "friends"...including the popular fried chicken Fa Ge, Zhang Guorong, the king of music, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, and Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei among the five wireless tigers.

This group of people came straight from outside the villa without saying hello, and the two brothers A Long and A Hu who knew them were too embarrassed to intercept them, so before Chen Xiaotang could react, he was caught and carried up by the group.

"You Ah Tang, you didn't even say hello to us when you came back, that's too bad!" Brother Fa pretended to be angry.

"Yeah, let's lift him up and throw his ass! Throw him hard and teach him a lesson!" Zhou Xingchi bluffed beside him and said with bad ideas.

"Come on, brothers, save me some face... It's not that I didn't say hello to you, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time..." Chen Xiaotang hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Seeing that your attitude is quite sincere, I will let you go for now!" Brother Fa beckoned everyone to put Chen Xiaotang down.

Chen Xiaotang finally got his feet on the ground, feeling a lot more at ease in his heart.Looking around: "Who said you were going to throw my ass just now?"

"It's him!" Everyone pointed to Zhou Xingchi.

Zhou Xingchi jumped back in a hurry, and said, "That's a trick I used to help you...A Tang, you have to be careful!"
Chen Xiaotang was gearing up, "Of course I have to be careful, Xingzi, come here!"

"Don't go! If you can't say it, you won't go!"

"Hey, you've got a lot of ambition..." Chen Xiaotang was about to punish rape and get rid of evil, when Brother Fa coughed and said, "Okay, stop making trouble, everyone, get ready and go to the rooftop!"

Chen Xiaotang was taken aback, "What are you doing on the rooftop?"

Fa Ge popped out two words: "BBQ!"

Chen Xiaotang: "...?!"

Zhang Guorong walked up to him, patted his side, "I will clean up the dust for you!"

Liu Dehua: "Later, you can eat more kebabs!"

Liang Chaowei: "Are you tired of American hamburgers?"

……

After a while, Chen Xiaotang came to his senses, "You bastards, you are so kind to me!"

To be honest, Chen Xiaotang is really tired of American food, barbecue, what an attractive word, lamb kebabs, grilled chicken wings, grilled sausages, and foaming beer... In short, barbecue is good!
On the spacious balcony, Zhou Xingxing, the "sinner of all ages", is doing his crimes and doing meritorious service, blowing on the charcoal stove with his face full of soot.

The dangling grilled chicken wings gave off a tempting aroma, and the red grilled sausages were also greasy and greasy.

Next to him, Liu Dehua is concentrating on skewering mutton skewers, one skewer, two skewers, three or four skewers...

And the great film star Liang Chaowei, who has always been known for being boring and coquettish, is busy carrying beer, and Huang Rihua and Miao Qiaowei are working hard together with him...

Chen Xiaotang, Fa Ge, and Zhang Guorong leaned against the balcony railing, talking and laughing happily.

Chen Xiaotang explained in detail what happened to him in the United States.Fa Ge and Zhang Guorong listened with great interest.

Especially when Chen Xiaotang said that the films he made were looked down upon by others and no one was willing to cooperate with them in the screening, Fa Ge and Zhang Guorong felt the same way, and couldn't help yelling at the ghosts for not knowing how to appreciate them, and scolding them for looking down on Chinese people; when Chen Xiaotang said that he finally broke through When the film was released under tight siege and sold well at the box office, both Fa Ge and Zhang Guorong couldn't help applauding.

It wasn't until Chen Xiaotang finished telling his story that Brother Fa and Zhang Guorong breathed a sigh of relief, and Brother Fa said unsatisfactorily: "Tang Zai, you really made money for our Hong Kong movies this time. Can’t go out? Who said our dramas can’t compete with Hollywood? Who said we make bad movies?! You have proved with your own actions that our Hong Kong movies are also very good! of!"

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "Brother Fa, you are swearing."

Zhou Runfa waved his hand: "Don't interrupt, what kind of man is a man if he doesn't swear?! I've been a star for so long, and I'm almost suffocated if I don't swear! Oh, by the way, where did I say it?"

"Damn it~ damn it!" Chen Xiaotang reminded.

"Yes, whoever refuses to accept it can do it!" Zhou Runfa continued his efforts, "Let them see that our Hong Kong movies and Hong Kong filmmakers are not so easy to bully! Back then, when I first entered the industry, I heard that those ghosts looked down on me. We Hong Kong people, fortunately there was Bruce Lee at that time, at least we could have a big name to carry, but when Bruce Lee passed away, I would choose, those ghosts pretended to be big guys again, with their nostrils turned upside down... I remember one time when I was filming in a foreign country, those ghosts saw me and first asked, Japanese? When I said I was Chinese, their expressions immediately changed, contemptuous, ridiculed, and contemptuous. them……"

The more Fa Ge talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, so much so that he spit all over the place, harming innocent people. Chen Xiaotang and Zhang Guorong were "sprayed" by him so that they had nowhere to hide.

Chen Xiaotang really didn't know why Brother Fa became so angry after only half a year. Could it be that the pressure of filming made him like this? !

Fortunately, when the two were complaining, Liu Dehua greeted everyone: "Let's eat!"

"Hula!" Fa Ge felt his eyes go blurry when he was talking about it, and then Chen Xiaotang and Zhang Guorong disappeared.

"Why are you running? I haven't finished talking yet! Hey, save some mutton skewers for me, don't eat them all!"

……

Eating lamb kebabs, grilled chicken wings, and drinking ice-cold beer, although the weather in February in Hong Kong is still a bit cold, this feeling is super refreshing.

Chen Xiaotang, Fa Ge and others are all well-known big names in Hong Kong. Who would have thought that these all-powerful characters on the big screen are all showing off at this moment, their mouths are dripping with oil, and the corners of their mouths are bubbling when they drink. There is no reserve and dignity that a star should have.

As the "host", Chen Xiaotang undoubtedly became the target of everyone's drinking. You toasted a toast, and he toasted a toast. Chen Xiaotang hadn't eaten much, and he had already been poured five bottles of beer.

He has a good capacity for alcohol, no matter how much he drinks, he will never get drunk. However, the capacity of his stomach is limited. Five bottles of beer have already taken up half of his stomach. If he wants to continue drinking, he really has "insufficient memory".

Therefore, Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to rub his stomach, weighed his drinking capacity, and turned his back on the customer. He said in his heart that good people are bullied by others and horses are bullied by others... It seems a bit serious... If I am too kind, I will be fed to death by you Alright, since you guys want to force me, you can, but you have to go through the trick.

Ever since, Chen Xiaotang began to yell arrogantly, "If you want to drink, punch yourself! Who will come first?!"

"I come!"

"I come!!!"

"Let me meet him first, and see if he is weak after a trip to the United States!"

After a while, the whole roof came from time to time: "Fifteen twenty, five leaders, eight horses... two little bees, flying among the flowers, flying left, flying right, tsk tsk!"

But after half an hour, some people who couldn't bear the pressure of beer raised their hands and surrendered.

Who made Chen Xiaotang's boxing guessing so sharp?

Chen Xiaotang laughed out loud, it was the first time in so many days that he laughed so cheerfully.

After the fist-guessing battle was over, the big guys gathered around drinking and chatting.

During the period, Xingzai rubbed his nose, biting the mutton skewers, and suddenly asked Chen Xiaotang: "A Tang, do you mind if I become your brother-in-law?"

"Hey!" Chen Xiaotang almost choked on the beer.

Zhou Xingchi saw that his reaction was so intense, he sighed: "You don't need to overreact, I'm just asking casually."

"Ahem!" Chen Xiaotang cleared his throat, "To be honest, Xingzi, you are a good person, I don't mind this matter, but I can't make the decision, I still have to ask my sister's opinion!"

Chen Xiaotang has always turned a blind eye to Zhou Xingchi's pursuit of his younger sister Chen Xiaoxiao. In his opinion, Zhou Xingchi today is not as "thin" and irresponsible to women as he was in his previous life. What Karen Mok , Zhu Yin, Yu Wenfeng... There are a lot of love debts.The current Xingzi is much more cheerful and lively than in his previous life, maybe this is his nature.

Zhou Xingchi didn't expect Chen Xiaotang to answer like this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, chewed a mouthful of mutton skewers, and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Chen Xiaotang nodded, "But it seems that my sister likes someone else..." Consciously or unintentionally, she glanced at Zhang Guorong beside her.

Zhang Guorong shrugged: "Don't look at me, you know, I just treat her as my younger sister."

Zhou Xingchi was tragic, "Could it be that the person Xiaoxiao likes is... well, I admit, compared with Brother Rong, I lack a little bit of temperament..."

Chen Xiaotang looked at Zhou Xingchi with his eyes.Zhou Xingchi: "Of course it still lacks a little handsomeness."

Chen Xiaotang was still looking at him.

"Ahem, I'm still a little less refined and generous, the legendary elegance, personable... But in general, I can be regarded as a successful career..." Zhou Xingchi tried his best to straighten his chest.

This time, everyone was looking at him.

Zhou Xingchi: "Why, you don't think so?!"

Chen Xiaotang: "What do you think?"

"Hey!" Zhou Xingchi sighed, "I knew you guys were hard-hearted!"

Since Zhang Guorong did not admit to being his "rival in love", and Chen Xiaotang acquiesced that he would not interfere with his sister's affairs, Zhou Xingchi made up his mind to continue pursuing Chen Xiaoxiao.

After uncovering the episode of Zhou Xingchi's affair, everyone continued to chat, and inadvertently talked about Chen Xiaotang's next plan.

Chen Xiaotang didn't say anything about his acquisition of Fox, and he hasn't said anything about it. If he said it but failed to realize it, it would only make people laugh.Therefore, Chen Xiaotang evaded the important thing and talked lightly about his preparation for filming "League of Assassins".

When they heard that Chen Xiaotang was going to start filming a new film, everyone including Fa Ge and Zhang Guorong were all excited.

You know, this time Chen Xiaotang made a name for himself in Hollywood, which can be regarded as a face for all Chinese people, but this is not the main thing, the main thing is that Chen Xiaotang made the heroine of this movie Wang Zuxian popular!
Today's Wang Zuxian's reputation in Hong Kong is about to catch up with the "goddess" Lin Qingxia.What kind of concept is this? It's just a film, and it became so popular...

So, the current Chen Xiaotang is not only a superstar, but also a God's hand who can promote celebrities!

There are rumors in the Hong Kong industry that as long as you shoot Chen Xiaotang's scenes, it's hard not to be popular!

Faced with such a huge temptation, how could Brother Fa and the others not be eager to try? !

Someone here may want to say, brother Fa and the others wouldn't be so utilitarian, right?Don't forget, they are all from the entertainment industry, and the entertainment industry itself is a very utilitarian place. People without utilitarianism or ambition will not be successful in such an environment.

Fa Ge has always had the desire to be a film king, Zhang Guorong wants to make further progress and become a superstar like Chen Xiaotang, Liu Dehua wants to develop in a variety of films and songs, Liang Chaowei wants to go to the big screen, not to mention Zhou Xingchi , want to become the real king of comedy...

Everyone has their own ideals. If this ideal can be called utilitarian, then every star is a utilitarian person, because they live under the spotlight, they are in the arena, and they can't help themselves.

"A Tang, have you decided on this play, who will play it?" Fa Ge couldn't help asking.

"Of course the main character is me. As for the other main characters... I'm considering it." Chen Xiaotang let it go.

"Can you give me one?" Fa Ge directly recommended himself, "You know I'm good at acting, so it's absolutely fine for me to act!"

"And me, it's okay for me to play the villain!" Zhang Guorong also jumped up.

"Brother Rong, you are too gentle and handsome to play a villain, so let me do it!" Liu Dehua also came over.

"Hua Zai, you are very heroic, and your image is too decent. To play the villain is a talent! I should do it..." Zhou Xingchi, who came from behind, directly pulled Liu Dehua off his horse.

"Xingzi, you are following the comedy route, you have to stick to your position as a human being, and you can't play like crazy!" Liu Dehua was unhappy with Zhou Xingchi's embarrassment.

"Who said that a change of taste occasionally can broaden my play path!"

"Choose, I chose to play the villain because I wanted to broaden my horizons!"

"It's unreasonable, you actually copied my words!"

The two argued endlessly.

Chen Xiaotang hastily dissuaded, "Two heroes, stop for now! My film is aimed at Hollywood, so whether the acting skills are good or not, and the image is not bad are secondary. The most important thing is to pass the English test!"

With one word from Chen Xiaotang, the big guy was stunned.

English? !
Just kidding, whether it is Fa Ge, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Liang Chaowei, etc., most of them have graduated from elementary school, graduated from junior high school, and occasionally went to college like Zhang Guorong, which is unique.

There is no way, this is the reality of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the collective cultural quality of the stars is relatively low.

Not because everyone is stupid, but because the family is poor and cannot afford to go to school.

Liu Dehua once worked as a waiter.

Zhou Xingchi used to do odd jobs.

As for Brother Fa, he even picked up cow dung on Lamma Island...
The children of the poor have already been in charge of the family, so they are all promising now, but the problem is that being successful does not mean that cultural knowledge has been improved, and everyone is still half-baked when it comes to English!

"Ahem, Ah Tang, I don't seem to understand. Why do Hong Kong people make movies in English? Why don't those ghosts speak Chinese?" Fa Ge said in disbelief.

Chen Xiaotang smiled, "Okay, when we have that kind of strength, we can make all the ghosts speak Chinese, but the reality now is that if we want Hollywood to accept our movies, we must cater to their tastes. And language is the most important thing!"

Chen Xiaotang told the truth, forging iron requires hard work.

If Chinese films want to be accepted by Hollywood people, they must become stronger. Only in this way can you have your own "language rights".

Some people here may want to say, aren't there many Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Russian movies that are also very popular in Hollywood?Why don't they speak American?

The problem is, these are all short-lived "foreign movies", they are just hit and run, and they have no intention of continuing to operate in Hollywood for a long time; and the movies that Chen Xiaotang wants to create are to create his own brand and make Hollywood accept it step by step.When Hollywood has recognized this kind of brand, then, don’t say you speak Chinese, even if you speak a foreign language, no one will object.

The same is true of Hollywood, in turn.

For example, in the previous life, the overseas market of Hollywood shrank, and the Chinese film market boomed. In order to pay the Chinese people, Hollywood made a "special edition" when filming "Iron Man", and asked Fan Girl to come forward to make soy sauce.What do you mean?Just to cater to the tastes of our countrymen, some condiments are specially added in, so that we can enjoy it enough to buy it.

Since Hollywood can do this, why can't we "beg for mercy"?In short, for one purpose, earning colorful dollar bills is the key!

It's a strategy, not a stigma.

After listening to Chen Xiaotang's words, Brother Fa and the others were not fools, and immediately understood what Chen Xiaotang meant.Now Hollywood is the boss. If you want to get money from their pockets, you have to cater to their tastes appropriately.

"A-Tang, don't worry, we have decided to learn English in a short period of time. When the time comes, filming will definitely embarrass you!" Fa Ge said solemnly.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "Since you are so sincere, let me see how to arrange suitable roles for you!"

"Wow, are you telling the truth? Yay!" a group of people shouted.

Seeing his friends so happy, Chen Xiaotang was also extremely happy. After all, those Hollywood stars were invited to act, not to mention the frighteningly high salary, but their superior aura alone made people uncomfortable.For example, this filming, if I hadn't defeated Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren himself, it probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.Generally speaking, it is better to use one's own people, not to mention, since it is to praise others, why not praise one's own friends? !

While Chen Xiaotang was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Zhou Xingchi pointing to a tall building not far away and saying, "No, someone secretly took pictures!"

Everyone raised their eyes and saw a few blurry figures on the top floor of a high-rise building clacking and snapping their cameras.

"I choose, these paparazzi are too arrogant!"

"It's really pervasive!"...

Facing the candid photographer who couldn't be further away, everyone raised their middle fingers together without hesitation!

Dry!
lol! ! !
