Chapter 565: A word of advice, Boss
Since a long time ago, people in Hong Kong have always ridiculed the mainlanders for their lack of quality and a condescending attitude.
Until now, most of them have not gotten rid of this problem, or they don’t bother to change it.
It’s just that they no longer said it openly, but behind the scenes, but it was reported from time to time.
However, in the past two days, the entire Hong Kong film industry has been shamed into Hollywood.
The filming of "Transformers 4" started at the beginning of the year and has not been completed yet.
In the past two days, great director Michael Bay took the crew of "Transformers 4" to Hong Kong Island for filming.
It stands to reason that when foreign films go to Hong Kong Island for filming, the Hong Kong Island Film Union is responsible for the reception and assistance throughout the process. However, something happened.
The world-famous science fiction director was bullied several times by a group of "Young and Dangerous" people on Hong Kong Island.
On the first day of filming, the crew was provoked and made trouble by a group of gangsters who seemed to be on drugs.
In Michael Bay's words in an interview with the media, those people were like the zombies in "World War Z" and they even bite people.
It got even more cruel later. When the crew was filming, they were directly charged "protection fees", and they were asked to pay 100,000 US dollars for opening their mouths.
Considering that he had already paid the local people to requisition the location, Michael Bay decisively refused to pay the "protection fee".
The great director also didn’t expect that “Young and Dangerous” would be so unreasonable.
After half an hour, a group of people from the other side directly attacked the crew with "weapons" and staged a full-scale martial arts show.
A world-famous director was almost beaten by a group of people.
Under the protection of security personnel, the crew managed to hold on until the police arrived.
Fifteen police officers, at the cost of three injuries, finally subdued a group of "Young and Dangerous" by using violence.
It was impossible to hide this news. It had already spread throughout Hollywood, Hong Kong Island and the mainland.
Li Bingbing also posted on Weibo, saying nothing else but that he was well protected and not injured.
The Internet is very lively, with all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm.
“You still say that we have no quality? They are so qualified that they can extort money on the street?”
“If the extortion failed, they robbed instead? Is this how they treat their international friends?”
"It's been exposed this time! The shame has been exposed internationally, which shows how hypocritical the people over there are."
Faced with the accusations from the Hollywood media and the ridicule on the Internet, the Hong Kong circle was caught off guard.
A large number of top celebrities and entertainers jumped out to apologize, condemn public security, and protect their image. It was a complete chaos for a while.
…………
The box office on the first day was 21.6 million, and the next day was 25.2 million. At the end of the first three days of the weekend, the total box office of "Special Identity" was 68.6 million.
Compared with "One Man's Martial Arts", this box office performance is far different.
I don’t know if Lu Zheng spent money, but many “professionals” published articles.
These people are all advocating that "Special Identity" will attract more money at this rate and break through 300 million box office. There is absolutely no problem and it is worth watching.
But they didn't mention it at all. The movie's reputation was already avalanche, and it was relying on its bad reputation to barely stimulate the box office.
Just like the original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", the more people criticize it, the better it will be at the box office, a typical bad movie effect.
But "Special Identity" still has some differences. It is not as bad and distinctive as "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".
Of course, in terms of box office, it cannot be compared with the latter.
Everyone in the industry thought that after the release of "The Legend of White Snake", Yang Zai's Juli Pictures was completely finished.
After all, not only did he offend Li Lianjie, but Huang Shengyi, the company's pillar, was also "crippled" by Guangguang.
A "heaven and earth" joke can destroy a first-line actress. Looking at the entertainment industry, it is really rare.
But who would have thought that after a few years of respite, Yang Zai and Ju Li would pop out again.
Yang Zai personally stood up to promote the newly signed actress from Juli Pictures. She has quite a few titles: Nortel School Beauty, Xiao Huang Shengyi!
It really makes people in the industry laugh to death. Others in the "little" generation always find a relatively popular actress to gain popularity, such as "Little Liu Yifei", "Little Yang Mi", "Little Zhang Ziyi"...
< br>Only Yang Zai is a clever guy. After signing a new artist, he insists on trying to attract the outdated third-tier star Huang Shengyi. His feelings are because he doesn’t like the newcomer quickly enough, right?
Still a Nortel campus beauty? You said she was a "school beauty" somewhere, but you said she was from Nortel?
Which actress in the film school dares to give herself the title of marketing?
Just for this title, this new artist from Juli Pictures has no future and has offended a lot of people!
.........
After attending Ali's dinner yesterday, Yue Jun couldn't wait to come over to talk to Lin Nan about this this morning.
"That Mr. Ma asked me to bring you a message..."
"Huh? Why do these words sound so familiar to you?"
Lin Nan He frowned but couldn't remember, but he was sure he had heard similar words somewhere.
"Forget it, go on."
"I guessed it right. Alibaba did use the stocks of that listed company to win over people in the circle. I heard that after the handover is completed, the name will be changed. "Speaking of this, Yue Jun paused for a moment:
" They seem to be very sure that they can make everyone make money. Some people in the circle gathered around Director Ma, among whom Zhao Yanzi is the most conspicuous, chatting and laughing.
That Chairman Ma asked me to give you a message: If Director Lin is interested, he can buy some shares of Cultural China. Now is the time, after the handover is completed. Reopen the market to ensure that the stock price rises sharply, and our own people can be behind..."
Lin Nan swallowed, shook his head firmly, and said with a smile: "I am destined not to make this money. By the way, are there many people going?"
"There are quite a few people going. , there are all well-known film and television companies in the industry, but most of them are somewhat resistant to Alibaba.
After all, everyone has their own interest circle, and they know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky. But you also know, It's impossible for everyone to resist, they are too rich..."
Lin Nan nodded, "too rich" can really solve many problems.
It wasn't until Yue Jun left the office for a while that Lin Nan reacted.
"Good guy, I remembered-the Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"
…………
When I got home in the afternoon, Liu Yifei’s bare white feet were Kicking her flip-flops, she handed an invitation to Lin Nan.
“Well, people from Zhu Yawen’s studio personally delivered it to Hongxingwu, and I just got it.”
“This guy, I also stayed in the company for a day, why? Didn’t anyone send it to Lin Nan Films?”
While complaining, Lin Nan opened the invitation, and then he knew why he didn't receive it.
Zhu Yawen invited two people with one invitation and sent it specially to Hongxingwu. Is she very considerate? !
However, why does this behavior resemble that of Tom?
“The wedding is going to be held on the 10th of next month? It’s good. It’s just a wedding in the capital. I don’t want to go to the Maldives, Bali, Phuket or anything like that, and I don’t have to worry about everyone.”
Lin Nan nodded and said, mainly because this time does not conflict with his subsequent schedule, which is very good.
"I guess all the classmates will go by then, right? Many of them have not seen each other since graduation, even though they are all in this industry."
Liu Yifei suddenly sighed, Lin Nan's mind A few figures actually appeared, and then they shook their heads slightly.
…………
Although they did not go to the Bazaar Charity Dinner this year, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still sat in the living room and watched the live broadcast in the evening.
After all, Ms. Liu has been going there for five consecutive years, but she suddenly didn’t go this year. She is still a little used to it.
Among the giants of film and television companies, only Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong were gone, and there was no one else.
The same is true for top stars. Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhang Ziyi are just a few, but there is not a single big director!
This year’s dinner was indeed a bit shabby.
Among all the stars, the most conspicuous one is the Peacock Princess brought by Yu Dong. This is completely disclosed to the circle, and the girl has succeeded!
Many actors and entertainers took the initiative to flatter and chat with them, with unstoppable smiles on their faces.
When the auction officially started, the peacock princess, who was eligible to be invited for the first time, really looked like a "peacock", but with her tail open.
She quoted prices frequently, as if she was using this method to declare that her current status was no longer what it used to be!
“It’s basically Jackie Chan and the others who are paying the big money. However, there are so many guests this year, so the total amount raised should probably increase.”
Lin Nan guessed He said, but he was not 100% sure.
…………
The next day, there was suddenly more news about "Taiping Wheel" in the media.
It seems that something happened to the crew and it got stuck. It was just like the original filming of "Red Cliff" that was so troubled. Maybe God doesn't want Wu Yusen to continue filming, right?
In this way, Huang Xiaoming was allowed to leave the crew to shoot another TV series.
During the interview, Leader Huang showed some excitement.
He chatted with the reporter about the movie "The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiuyuan". It was obvious that he liked the script very much.
"I play a domineering chamber of commerce president and gang leader.
Although he comes across as cold, wise, and ruthless, he is actually a warm man at heart, which is a perfect character. But With the girl I like, I have hit a wall countless times..."
When Lin Nan saw the news at the company, he was stunned.
"What a good guy! I just called you over to film a movie called "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", and now you turn around and take on a movie called "The Boss?"
Isn’t Huang Xiaoming’s description of the character that of a domineering president?
Everything about the protagonist is perfect, the only flaw is that there is a girl he likes but doesn't like him. In the end, we had to go through many hardships before we could come together!
This is standard and can no longer be standard, domineering president!
"By the way, is this kind of TV series really so enjoyable?" Lin Nan was very puzzled by this.
When Huang Xiaoming went to act in "Summer of Bubbles", he had the same attitude as he does now when he talks about "The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiuyuan".
There was an expression of excitement and anticipation on her face, without any concealment, just like a pervert who saw a beautiful woman.
