Not many people can say this in front of Xiang Huaqiang.
After all, after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, many former bosses have failed.
Many people fled abroad as a result.
It is precisely because of this that the economy here is more stable.
But Xiang Huaqiang has always relied on his own efforts.
But when Xiang Huaqiang and his brother Xiang Huasheng took the initiative to look for them, they were rejected.
Originally, he was only ten children, and he didn’t pay much attention to him when he was a child. When he grew up, his feelings were even less deep.
And in ancient terms, the Xiang Huaqiang brothers were born to fill houses, and their status was originally very low.
But later Xiang Huaqiang seized the opportunity and completed a counterattack in the new era, just like the ancient Shuangzi as the protagonist.
He also created the huge Long Guoxing Film and Television Company.
With his growth, he now has a high status in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Even Eric Tsang, who speaks quickly, has to think in front of him before speaking casually.
But the person who spoke is known as the ‘Godfather of Hong Kong Film’, Wu Siyuan!
Although Wu Siyuan does not have a black and white background, Long Guoxing's predecessor Yongsheng Company has cooperated a lot with Wu Siyuan.
Moreover, most of Wu Siyuan's films are patriotic films. He has discovered Xu Ke, Yuan Heping, Cheng Long, Zhou Xingchi, and helped Andy Lau who was banned by TVB. He is a very righteous man.
He has always had a famous saying: We must give newcomers a chance!
Last time during the Sharon Stone incident, I spared no effort and used my status as president of the Film Association to call on everyone to boycott it.
He even took the lead in making donations during the Cross Society Incident.
He approached Su Yi several times and wanted him to make a movie about Hong Kong.
And it was said very solemnly.
I hope this movie can save Hong Kong!
Later, Su Yi was so busy that he forgot about it. Wu Siyuan found Xu Ke and sent a message, which made Su Yi decide to come to Xiangjiang.
"Hello, Director Wu! I wanted to take my friends for some morning tea and then take a nice stroll around Xiangjiang."
This was the only time Su Yi took the initiative to extend his hand.
Liu Yifei was a little confused, but she stood aside obediently and said nothing.
She knew that what the senior did must be very wise. Although she had a lot to talk to Su Yi, it was better to listen quietly now.
When the others saw Su Yi taking the initiative to reach out, their hearts moved.
Su Yi does not take the initiative to reach out to others, but he does take the initiative to directors like Wu Siyuan who are very patriotic.
This means that Su Yi is not just here on behalf of an individual!
Many people came here this time. Big bosses in the film industry all know that Su Yi has two identities. The first one is the director with the number one box office in the world, and the second one is the director within the system. , and he is still a very young director.
The future can be said to be promising.
But in fact, these two identities are not enough for a legendary figure like Hua Qiang to arrive and greet him personally.
The most important thing is to detect what identity Su Yi represents. When he was with Liu Yifei just now, he was almost secretly photographed by the paparazzi. It was Xia Huaqiang who took action and sent a favor to Su Yi. .
This made them think that Su Yi was just making movies. Then they will simply have a business cooperation with Su Yi.
But now the situation has obviously changed.
"The scenery in Xiangjiang is very beautiful, but you have to be familiar with it. You took the wrong route this time. You have to bother so many bosses in the film industry to come and pick you up. You already owe a lot of favors."
< br>There is something in Wu Siyuan's words.
But this was not meant for Su Yi.
It means that Su Yi was invited by himself for the purpose of shooting a movie.
After all, Xiangjiang movies were once among the best in the world, but now they have gone downhill.
Wu Siyuan, who has made patriotic films and discovered countless new talents, is a little worried. Although he should enjoy a comfortable life at his age, after seeing talents like Su Yi emerging in the mainland, he couldn't help but be moved. .
Unfortunately, when he saw Su Yi, he could no longer help him, nor could he help him in times of need. At most, it was the icing on the cake.
In Wu Siyuan's eyes, the people who came this time all had their own agendas, and most of them were doing it to make money.
The remaining ones are just to test Su Yi's attitude, because there have been rumors in Hong Kong that the mainland will strengthen the film review and management of Hong Kong.
This made some directors complain.
Some remarks also took advantage of the opportunity and spread all over Xiangjiang.
In this era, the scale of Xiangjiang films cannot be compared with those in the Mainland. Maybe the box office on the first day beat the box office of a movie in Xiangjiang during all its release times.
If a movie can have a box office of over 10 million in Hong Kong, it is already a wonderful achievement. It's a pity that if such a box office was placed in the mainland, it would basically be a box office hit. You know, Chen Kaige, who faced Su Yi at the beginning, would have a box office of over 100 million even if it hits the streets again.
Wu Siyuan does not expect Su Yi to make Xiangjiang's box office reach an astonishing level, after all, the number of people is there. But he wanted Su Yi to stimulate the film market in Xiangjiang and give it a direction. This was the most important thing.
In his eyes, there is no shortage of film-makers and geniuses in Xiangjiang, but the one who can lead the way is none other than Su Yi.
"President Wu was joking. We saw some paparazzi secretly filming Director Su, so in order to prevent the matter from getting bigger, we invited Director Su to visit us."
Xiang Huaqiang said calmly, Although he respects each other, they are similar in age, not too different, and his status is higher in the entertainment industry, so his attitude cannot be said to be respectful, just polite.
The same goes for Eric Tsang on the side.
“Director Su made a sudden visit today. If you have any plans to shoot a movie, please consider our Media Asia company. We can be a local guide for Director Su, and we have cooperation with inland companies. Experience."
Lin Jianyue saw Wu Siyuan coming. He knew what happened, so he didn't say much and handed his business card to Su Yi.
Everyone else, whether they were just joining in the fun or sincerely wanted to cooperate, gave Su Yi their business cards. They gave them personal phone numbers, not business-to-business numbers.
Some of these business cards feel quite heavy, as if some precious metals have been added to them.
“Looking forward to our cooperation, the door of our Long Guoxing is always open for Director Su.”
Everyone changed the title of Director Su to Director Su.
Su Yi did not explain, a faint smile appeared on his face.
When facing Xiang Huaqiang, he nodded gratefully.
“Thank you, Chairman Xiang, for helping me solve the problem of public opinion.”
“Don’t worry about this, no one can report some useless news without your authorization. , I think many colleagues think the same way."
Xiang Huaqiang seemed to have regained the domineering expression of Long Wu in God of Gamblers, and left with the people calmly. The originally crowded road suddenly became smoother. few.
Various luxury cars drove off the street one after another, leaving only Wu Siyuan, Su Yi and Liu Yifei.
"Let's talk in detail at home. I'm old and my family is small. The house is very big. Let's have a good talk then. When we were in mainland China, you were always busy and I didn't dare to disturb your work."< br>
A trace of expectation appeared on Wu Siyuan's face.
Wu Siyuan’s home.
Wu Siyuan is the boss of Sunway Siyuan Film and Television Company. Although his film and television works are not as amazing as Xu Ke, he is not short of money, and his house in Xiangjiang can be called a luxury house.
But there is only one Filipino maid inside.
It also seemed a little deserted.
"The children have gone out to work. There is nothing to talk about as an old man like me." Wu Siyuan seemed to be laughing at himself, but he did not feel lonely at all. Instead, he was full of energy, as if the film career was his lifelong pursuit.
"Director Wu is so humble. You have discovered many famous actors and directors in Xiangjiang. Without you, they would not be as brilliant as they are now. They say that horses with a thousand miles of horses often exist, and Bole It doesn’t happen often, that’s why.
At the beginning, if someone in the system didn’t think I had some potential, I wouldn’t have had the chance to bring my work to everyone.”
After a few polite words. The conversation between the two parties seemed less unfamiliar. Liu Yifei also listened to the two of them carefully and seriously.
To be honest, although this Liu Tianxian has good features and a cool temperament, he is actually very simple-minded and is not interested in these things. His only interest is to perform.
But what just happened made Liu Yifei very curious.
Before she came, his mother had told him that the film and television bosses in Xiangjiang actually looked down upon the mainland film and television companies in their hearts. After all, they had been making movies very early on. .
And once upon a time, their movies were also very popular around the world.
The companies that came just now, except Emperor, are basically all in place.
Even if Su Yi is famous in the Mainland and ranks first in the box office of movies in the world, it stands to reason that it will not cause such a sensation. Their reaction is a bit too big.
So he was curious about what was there about Su Yi that could attract these big guys in the film and television industry.
To be honest, the film and television companies that came today basically occupy 2/3 of the companies in Xiangjiang.
In other words, everyone who has a head and a face is here.
Even if the director of the general bureau comes, there may not be such a pomp.
"Director Su, we plain people don't speak secretly. From the way they called you just now, you should be able to sense what these people are aware of."
Wu Siyuan hesitated for a moment. , and also asked Su Yi cautiously.
Su Yi frowned slightly. As expected, these people were all elite and could prosper in the Hong Kong film industry. You can't just rely on talent.
However, Wu Siyuan has always insisted on calling himself a director.
Moreover, when Su Yi came to Xiangjiang, he thought that he would not receive much attention. Unexpectedly, everything had been arranged before he came.
"Director Wu, I come here sincerely to make a movie."
Su Yi's words were very sincere.
Before Su Yi came here, there was indeed a leader above who had a chat with Su Yi.
In the eyes of many uninformed leaders, whether it is ancient propaganda or triple play integration, this seems to be a very important task.
I don’t know why Su Yi insists on going to Xiangjiang.
But the propaganda leader told Su Yi something about Xiangjiang before he set off.
However, this task was not specified in detail. He was just asked to shoot a popular movie that would make all the film and television companies in Hong Kong surrender.
Only Su Yi has such ability.
After hearing Su Yi's answer, Wu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was silent for a long time.
He likes to shoot movies with patriotic elements, but he doesn't want to be linked to politics.
The person in front of me is the world's number one box-office director. His talent is undoubted, and it is rumored that the scripts for those movies were all provided by Su Yi.
Such an all-around talent can shoot classic movies like The Dark Knight, as well as movies with more political elements like The Founding of a Republic.
Moreover, a program was recently filmed on the mainland stage to expose some current affairs and politics. After Wu Siyuan heard the news, he even felt dumbfounded.
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, it would be incredible.
"No matter what, I hope that Xiangjiang's movies can regain their glory. I think the current direction of Xiangjiang's movies is wrong."
Wu Siyuan sighed.
After leaving Shaw Brothers and establishing his own Siyuan Film and Television, Xiangjiang Film continued to thrive despite several ups and downs.
But it’s really not working now, both in terms of technology and creativity, there is a lot of difference.
“The movie itself has no direction. Even today when martial arts is in decline, as long as the script is good and the director is strong, it is still possible to make a classic martial arts movie——”
Before Su Yi finished speaking, he hurriedly shook his head when he saw Wu Siyuan's eager eyes.
This time he still has a political mission, so he definitely can’t shoot a martial arts movie right away. Su Yi’s identity now is different from when he first debuted.
Before, he was an unknown person, but he made amazing movies and must have received a lot of praise.
But as the world's number one box-office director, he can't make movies casually.
Before setting off, Han Sanping also discussed it with him.
You can't take action casually if you're not completely sure. Of course, this is just a discussion.
After all, Su Yi and Han Sanping now have equal positions in the system.
But Su Yi looked at Wu Siyuan beside him, and then at Liu Yifei.
I have an idea in my mind.
"Director Wu, there is a movie that I think is very suitable for you to shoot. Give me some time and I will complete the script. You will direct it and I will be the screenwriter and producer."
Wu Siyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
He thought he was just Xiao He, not Han Xin.
Able to discover talents, but not leaders.
But this is Su Yi’s script!
Wu Siyuan was excited even at this age.
It’s all to return the favor
Su Yi looked at Liu Yifei.
"Director Wu, I don't have any requirements for this movie, but the heroine must be played by Liu Yifei."
Liu Yifei was stunned, her red mouth opened slightly, and she looked a little surprised Xiang Su Yi.
“No problem!”
Wu Siyuan immediately agreed. After all, Liu Yifei is also a famous actor all over the world.
"How about I go get ready first?"
Wu Siyuan was even a little impatient.
He has made many movies about martial arts before.
For example, Cheng Long’s famous works: Snake-shaped Trickster and Drunken Master.
Later, New Dragon Inn, Once Upon a Time series, etc.
"When the time comes, I will work with Director Xu Ke! I will share the profits from your movie - can you tell me the name of the movie first?"
Wu Siyuan immediately became uneasy.
And Su Yi smiled and said two words.
“Sword Rain!”(End of Chapter)
