Chapter 430 Anus
After hanging up the phone from Zhang Bozhi, Wang Shu thought briefly.
Actually, before Cheung Po Chi was selected by Stephen Chow to star in "The King of Comedy", she was just a little girl in Hong Kong Island.
She also acted in her true colors, and she performed well as the heroine of "The King of Comedy".
Now, affected by the Guan Xige incident at the beginning of the year, his career has plummeted.
After that, although he came back again, there was no improvement.
After that, she gave birth to her third son out of wedlock.
No matter how the outside world speculates, it has never been revealed who the biological father of the third son is.
Looks like she is willing to be a concubine to help her have children.
A Mainland artist with the same status as Zhang Pozhi would definitely not be willing to do this. Instead, he would clamor for his "lover" to divorce his first wife, and then take the position of the main palace.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are many female artists doing this.
Zhang Pozhi did not. Even raising her third son alone, she did not reveal the name of her biological father.
In contrast, the one who gave birth to a daughter for Wang Sicong was afraid that the outside world would not know that she had given birth to a daughter for Wang Sicong, so she made all kinds of noises and made everyone aware of it.
Furthermore, Wang Siming obviously did not want to give birth to the child. This woman gave birth secretly for "milk powder money".
It can only be said that Wang Sicong learned a lesson in this matter.
If he is always vigilant, never fails to bring a small umbrella, and fills the small umbrella with chili powder afterwards, he will definitely not be taught.
At most, the woman was sent to the hospital because of the incident.
It is undeniable that Wang Sicong is quite old, and it is indeed time for him to continue the family lineage of Lao Wang.
It’s just that with the wealth of the old Wang family, Wang Sicong would not find this woman even if he wanted to continue the family line.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have children, and we wouldn’t have entered the Wang family.
It is also undeniable that Wanda Group has been in decline since the real estate bubble burst.
However, no matter how much Wanda Group declines, it has nothing to do with the wealth of Lao Wang and his family.
Wanda Group is Wanda Group, and Lao Wang’s family’s money is Lao Wang’s family’s money.
Not to be confused.
Only Lao Wang’s family makes money through Wanda Group, and no Lao Wang’s family provides money to Wanda Group.
In other words, even if Wanda Group collapses, Lao Wang’s family still has tens of billions of assets.
Rather than saying that Wanda Group has collapsed, Lao Wang’s family will have no money.
These are two different things.
It can only be said that Wanda Group is developing well, and Lao Wang's family can make more money into his pocket through this company.
Wanda Group's debt or bankruptcy is a matter of the company and has nothing to do with the money that goes into his pocket, nor does it affect the money in his pocket.
Just like when several well-known real estate developers are hit by thunderstorms, it is reasonable for their leaders to cash out one after another.
Since "Terror Cruise" was released in Hong Kong theaters, Wang Shu has gained some popularity in the Hong Kong area.
The director is a worker behind the scenes. Most ordinary audiences will only pay attention to the starring actors and not the director when watching a movie.
Unless you are an internationally famous director, you will not have much popularity among the audience.
However, even if Wang Shu is not well-known in Hong Kong Island, it will not affect the popularity of "Taipei Trip".
After all, "Travel to Taipei" is also the first zombie movie shot and produced in the Mainland starring Andy Lau, a well-known artist from Hong Kong Island. The news that the box office exceeded 100 million in the five days of release in the Mainland has also spread widely in Hong Kong Island.
With the help of these gimmicks, many people were attracted into the cinema.
On the first day of its release on Hong Kong Island, "Travel to Taipei" grossed a box office of HK$1.3 million, an extremely excellent result.
Hong Kong Island is just a small island. No matter how prosperous it is, the market is still limited.
Otherwise, when Hong Kong films were most prosperous, the island would not have been regarded as the target market.
On the second day after "Taipei Trip" was released on Hong Kong Island, the single-day box office was 1.43 million, which was an increase compared to the first day.
According to this box office trend, it will undoubtedly earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office.
With a box office performance of tens of millions, Hong Kong films are likely to rank among the top five or even top three in the annual box office.
Prior to this, few films directed by mainland directors could achieve box office results exceeding tens of millions in Hong Kong cinemas.
The appearance of Wang Shu today was preceded by "Terror Cruise" and later "Taipei Trip".
For a time, many film and television practitioners in Hong Kong who wanted to go north were worried.
Because, without the emergence of Wang Shu, directors and actors from Hong Kong Island would have a great advantage in going north to develop.
But now, the mainland's king trees are overwhelming Hong Kong Island, which has reduced Hong Kong Island's advantages.
Although Wang Shu is the only one person, even if his influence is limited, it is very limited.
But in the eyes of Hong Kong Island artists, the base of the mainland's population of more than one billion is there.
Now that a king tree has appeared, there is no guarantee that a Zhang tree, a plum tree, etc. will appear in the future.
Even if those people are not as powerful as Wang Shu, they can still affect the advantage of Hong Kong Island.
For a time, many filmmakers on Hong Kong Island felt anxious, worried that the advantages of Hong Kong Island going north would be wiped out by the mainland.
“If there continues to be no improvement, it will become increasingly difficult in the future.” Carina Lau is in Hong Kong at the moment, and she is equally anxious about the satisfactory opening of “Taipei Trip” at the box office on Hong Kong Island.
She chose to go north for development several years ago, first signing with Huayi and then with Chengtian.
However, mainland-produced film and television dramas rarely use Hong Kong actresses.
She rarely has a chance.
She also knows the reason. There is no good way except to envy the actors and directors in Hong Kong.
What we can count on is the support of the director from North to Hong Kong Island.
But now, there is a Wang Shu in the Mainland, which seems to have greatly reduced the commercial filmmaking achievements that Hong Kong is proud of, affecting the voice of directors who go north to Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, it also makes it even more difficult for Hong Kong actresses like her to get opportunities if they go north.
In her opinion, if Wang Shu had not appeared, the advantages of Hong Kong Island would not be compromised, and artists from the north of Hong Kong Island would also receive more preferential treatment. They would also be able to get more or less share of the benefits. benefit.
Now, if there are a few more directors like Wang Shu coming out of the Mainland, then Hong Kong Island’s advantage will be gone.
The advantages they have as artists from Hong Kong and north will also disappear.
"So, Hong Kong Island's advantage may not be around for a few years? If it doesn't improve in the past few years, there will be no chance in the future?" Liu Jialing murmured to herself.
She had already had ideas about the movie when the mainland was preparing to shoot "Red Cliff".
However, she does not have the corresponding connections and strength in the mainland to help her get roles, and the roles are not her turn at all.
In the end, I can only think about it in my heart.
"Mei Ting's fate is good. She got to know Wang Shu after she participated in the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."
"Although she also starred in the drama "People Mountain and Crowd". It’s an art film, but since I can star in Wang Shu’s art film, I must have caught Wang Shu’s eye.”
"There will inevitably be an opportunity to cooperate with Wang Shu again in the future."
"On the contrary, it seems that my luck has run out."
Liu Jialing sighed.
She and Mei Ting are both Chengtian artists, and have witnessed Mei Ting's connections slowly develop into the film industry from a TV drama actor to Wang Shu.
Although I only starred in the movie "Human Mountain".
However, being able to star in Wang Shu's art film already explains a lot.
Liu Jialing can predict that in the future, Wang Shu will return from Hollywood to make Chinese films, and there is a high probability that he will be able to cooperate with Mei Ting again. At that time, Mei Ting was likely to reach the pinnacle of her life.
On the contrary, it was her who had a big problem with her luck.
When Liu Jialing first debuted, she was an artist on TVB, and then moved to the film industry.
Speaking of acting skills, her acting skills are very average. After moving to the film industry, she gained a lot of film resources by virtue of her "social skills", but she was either on the road to success or on the way to success.
In short, I never got up.
It wasn't until I starred in "The Secret Agent" directed by Zhou Xingxing that things suddenly started to change.
After that, I got whatever I performed, and gained both fame and fortune.
But now, she felt as if her luck had run out and everything was going wrong.
"Just take it one step at a time." Liu Jialing whispered softly, "I hope you will have good luck in the future."
On December 27, Wang Shu and Li Binbin returned to the capital together.
Although Liu Dehua will come to Beijing soon, he is not on the same itinerary as them.
"Director Wang, I have never convinced anyone before, but I really admire you this time."
On the plane, Li Binbin sat next to Wang Shu, with beautiful eyes and Wang Shu get in a word.
"Ah?" Wang Shu looked confused, as if he didn't understand.
Seeing this, Li Binbin sighed and said: ""Travel to Taipei" is a zombie movie that has never been shot in the mainland. Director Wang was able to achieve such excellent results for the first time he directed and filmed it."
< br>"Mainland theaters have grossed over 100 million in box office in five days."
"Director Chen's "Mei Lanfang" and director Xu's "Women Are Not Bad" are both going to be offline, but they have never exceeded 100 million. ”
“Now that the movie has landed on Hong Kong Island, it is also very popular.”
"Among our mainland directors, no one's films have been so popular on Hong Kong Island."
"So, I have to say that Director Wang is really great."
"I I have never convinced anyone, so I just convinced Director Wang!"
"Ha" Wang Shu knew that Li Binbin was just saying compliments, so he joked, "So Sister Binbin is not convinced by Director Feng?"
"Uh" Li Binbin was speechless for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Wang Shu with an expression of embarrassment, aggrievement and blame.
"Haha." Wang Shu saw Li Binbin's expression and laughed.
After the flight, Wang Shu and Li Binbin returned to the capital.
Han Sanping learned that Wang Shu would go to Los Angeles after New Year's Day, and immediately held a celebration banquet for "Taipei Trip".
Nowadays, "Taipei Trip"'s box office of 200 million is just around the corner, and 300 million is not impossible.
So, it’s not like opening champagne at halftime.
At the celebration banquet, Shanghai Film’s Ren Zhonglun, Guangguang’s Wang Changtian, Liu Dehua, Li Binbin, Jiang Wen and others were present.
Jiang Wen came close to Han Sanping and asked in a low voice: "Is it true that "Travel to Taipei" can't be released in Taiwan?"
"Travel to Taipei" landed in theaters on Hong Kong Island a few days ago. At the same time, there was news that Baodao was banned from being released.
Jiang Wen understood the content of "Travel to Taipei" and knew that it was not groundless.
Han Sanping sighed: "It really can't be shown."
"Is there no way?" Jiang Wen asked again.
"Unless the ending is modified, it will not be released." Han Sanping said.
"Then do you have any ideas about changing the ending?" Jiang Wen asked.
"No." Han Sanping replied directly.
Then he explained, "The ending of "Travel to Taipei" is very good, there is no need to create another version for the Baodao market."
"Although this method is indeed feasible, under the premise of the current ending, it is not a good choice to modify the ending to provide treasure island."
"If it is some ending that is not painful or painful, The plot is okay."
"The ending of "Travel to Taipei" is quite sensitive, so it's better not to change it randomly."
"For the sake of a treasure island market, it will be done at that time. The outside is not human, but not beautiful.”
“It’s not necessary.”
Jiang Wen nodded and responded: "There is really no need to change it. If Baodao is willing to show it, it will be released. If not, it will be rejected."
The two chatted for a while, Jiang Wen walked away and joined again Come to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Wen approaching, and he teased: "Director Jiang, why didn't you go to Hong Kong Island to promote the movie with us?"
Jiang Wen opened his eyes He lied and said, "Didn't you tell me that I had something to do and couldn't get away?"
"Really?" Wang Shu smiled and pretended not to believe it.
"Can this be false?" Jiang Wen looked like he was telling the truth.
Wang Shu chuckled and said, "Although you didn't go, someone on Hong Kong Island specifically asked."
When Jiang Wen heard what Wang Shu said, his heart suddenly rose. Got a bad feeling.
Just listen to Wang Shu say next, "I asked specifically, why the director who said it was anal didn't come?"
"." Jiang Wen heard the word anus. , his face darkened.
The pronunciation of the word "jiangwen" in spoken Cantonese is similar to that of anus in Mandarin.
That year, Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou went to the awards ceremony on Hong Kong Island together.
When the Hong Kong host introduced Jiang Wen, he shouted in Cantonese: "Anus."
When Jiang Wen heard this, he immediately cursed in Zhang Yimou's ear: "He Damn it, why did labor become an anus?”
Even though Zhang Yimou had excellent concentration, he couldn’t help laughing after hearing Jiang Wen’s words.
Of course Jiang Wen knew that Wang Shu was making fun of him, and he couldn't help but cursed again and spat: "Damn it, why can't you speak Cantonese if you don't speak good Mandarin?"
"Jiang Wen is so elegant with these two words. , turned into an anus?”
“Fuck!”
” Wang Shule laughed.
Liu Dehua, Li Binbin and others saw Wang Shu laughing and couldn't help but walked over and asked curiously: "Director Wang, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Wen saw Li Binbin staring at Wang Shu curiously, and saw that even Liu Dehua and others were waiting for the next step, and his whole face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
Wang Shu saw Jiang Wen’s expression in his eyes, so naturally he would not call him an anal director in front of everyone.
This kind of joke can be done in private.
Doing it in front of other people would be very disrespectful.
Then he said: "Nothing."
Li Binbin curled his lips when he heard this, and hummed: "If you don't want to say it, just say it. Isn't that too perfunctory?"
With wine and dinner, the celebration banquet ended successfully.
During this period, Han Sanping thought about asking Wang Shu about the opportunity to collaborate with him in a blockbuster film again.
Then he thought that what Wang Shu was most concerned about at the moment should be things in Hollywood, and immediately said nothing.
