Chapter 229 Little Fairy and Little Girl (Two in One)

Although Jiang Zhiqiang is still a year away from knowing his destiny at the age of 50, his Anle Film Company is already 52 years old.

Obviously, he didn't start the company, he just succeeded it.In his own words, before the age of 30, he was addicted to gambling and had nothing to do, but at the age of [-], when he had no choice but to enter the company founded by his father, he immediately fell in love with movies.

In fact, he had watched too many movies before—his father used to be the manager of a movie theater in Mong Kok. He resigned and went solo to distribute films, distributing Xiangjiang films to all parts of the world and bringing foreign films to Hong Kong.And when he was 13 years old, his father went to Denmark to buy movies, and he went with him. As a result, the theater didn’t accept children, but his father said, “I’m here to buy movies, so I can’t leave children outside.” So, Jiang Zhi Strongly watched the first limited film in my life.

When Jiang Zhiqiang was 36 years old, his father retired, and he began to take over the company, and he did very well. For example, he almost single-handedly arranged the distribution of all Hayao Miyazaki's animations in Xiangjiang, and the distribution of Magnesia Universal in Hong Kong Has been represented by his company.

It is worth mentioning that the release of Jun Ji-hyun's "My Sassy Girlfriend" in Xiangjiang was still done by An Le Films.

Last year, Lu Heng went to the Edo Film Festival. When he met Jun Ji-hyun, Lu Heng had the idea of ​​letting Jun Ji-hyun play Sun Shangxiang, but after he thought of Wu Yusen's previous showmanship, he decided to use mainland actors for all the leading roles.

Although there has never been any big star who can carry the box office-all the big hit movies ultimately rely on the plot to speak, but if the quality of the film is good, the big star does have a bonus effect.

But Lu Heng still wants to do this, at least he is a big star himself.What's more, there are many blockbuster movies with unknown characters as the main creators. After the movie was released, the leading actors all rose to the sky. "Sassy Girlfriend" did not make Jun Ji-hyun popular all over Asia.

But in this way, Jun Zhixian's Sun Shangxiang flew away.

But at that time, Lu Heng said that he would take her to make a movie, and she dedicated herself to Lu Heng as soon as she got excited.

At that time, "My Sassy Girlfriend" hadn't been released yet, and she was still a little transparent, let alone in Japan, South Korea and even China, she was not very famous in Korea.

If she didn't get popular later, she would definitely not be happy if Lu Heng let her go, and would even ask Master Lu Hengxing to ask her a crime.

But when "Red Cliff" was filmed, her movie had already been released, which made her instantly popular, and her schedule was full. Lu Heng mentioned it to her. Although she was a little dissatisfied, Lu Heng coaxed her for a while and promised She must be looking for her in the next movie, and she immediately became happy.

For her, movies are not important, but being with Lu Heng is important - after all, the "I want to become a fairy, happy as heaven" that night makes her feel refreshed every time she thinks about it.

When participating in the Edo Film Festival, Lu Heng was worried that she would run out of time after "Sassy Girl" became popular, so he made a time difference. After returning from Neon, he asked Liu Tao to sign a film contract with her company.

The reason for keeping it secret at the time was that the name of the film was not written, it was a single film contract with a period of two years.At that time, their company didn't expect it to be like that. Since it was Lu Heng's movie contract, they naturally didn't hesitate.

In the past two years, Lu Heng does have another movie he is planning to make, an urban action movie, so it should be a good idea to find her.

The company behind her must regret it now. After all, the price was not high back then, but the contract was there, and Lu Heng was not a small role. Forgive their company and they would not dare to break the contract.

When meeting Jiang Zhiqiang, he greeted him with a smile on his face, and gave Lu Heng a slight hug: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see Uncle Qiang." Lu Heng also smiled.

Then Jiang Zhiqiang introduced the project team of Industrial Light & Magic to Lu Heng.

To Lu Heng's surprise, they also brought a translator. Lu Heng turned to Jiang Zhiqiang and said:
"Uncle Qiang, didn't you tell them that I have no problem communicating in English?"

"Speaking of which, they may be worried that many technical vocabulary will be unclear and affect efficiency, so they brought a special one. Anyway, a translator doesn't have much money." Jiang Zhiqiang explained.

Lu Heng thought about it too. For this project, the salary they hired for translation was less than [-]% of the total project amount, which is really nothing.

After Jiang Zhiqiang introduced Lu Heng to them, they nodded, their expressions still calm, with business-like courtesy.

And Jiang Zhiqiang introduced the director of the project team: "His full name is relatively long, you can just call him Tom."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Is there another Jerry?"

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't help laughing, although he is not young, but these are really clear, because he was the one who introduced the animation of cat and mouse to Xiangjiang.

"How could it be such a coincidence, the one named Tom in Meiguo is probably called Huaxia..." Jiang Zhiqiang thought for a while, and then said, "It's almost like the one named Xiao Ming."

The translator over there looked at them strangely.

This translator is a Chinese, but he grew up in the country of Magnesium. Although he also knows Lu Heng, he feels a little uncomfortable at this time, and can't help but say:

"It's inappropriate for you to make fun of people's names?"

Lu Heng looked at her inexplicably: "Where did you see that I made fun of people's names?"

"You compare people to cats."

Lu Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do you think so? It's just that the Chinese people are most familiar with the name Tom, which comes from cat and mouse."

"You are very rude." The translator was still emphasizing.

Lu Heng didn't bother to pay any attention to her, he passed her directly, and smiled at Tom:
"Mr. Tom, welcome to come, the next work, I hope we can cooperate happily."

There are a lot of people in China who can speak English, but Lu Heng's English is very standard, so standard that the translator is a little surprised, let alone Tom and others.

When Lu Heng reached out his hand, Tom also reached out to hold him, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect your English to be so good. Bill Kong (Jiang Zhiqiang's English name) said before that your English is good. I haven't had a specific comparison, but now I am sure that your English is really good."

Jiang Zhiqiang had a feeling of saving face, and said with a smile: "I have always spoken with a basis, and I will not exaggerate. I am sure of this."

Tom nodded, turned his head and glanced at the dumbfounded translator, and said:
"This is a graduate student majoring in film at the University of California, and she is also a Chinese-American who is proficient in Chinese. Maybe our daily communication should be fine, but in terms of professionalism, she may be more precise."

Lu Heng didn't object. Anyway, he didn't pay for it himself, so I don't care if you want it.

It might be a bit embarrassing if she can't get in the conversation next to her when the time comes to communicate, but this is not what Lu Heng did on purpose, it is really not allowed by his strength.

When Lu Heng started learning English, that was when he went to the University of Canada to participate in the Montreal Film Festival. From the beginning of learning basic English, to finding English books related to movies next to the venue in Montreal. In terms of majors, her vocabulary is really good. There must be Lu Hengduo.

After all, for Lu Heng, studying is no different from flipping through books and scanning.

Then on the way to the post-production site, Lu Heng had a good chat with them, and the translator, sitting next to him, became a puppet.

At first she wanted to open her mouth, but later on she couldn't even arouse the interest in opening her mouth. If it was 20 years later, she might post a fairy post in Moments: "Who knows my family..."

Passing by the high-rise buildings in the capital on the road, as well as the bustling construction projects, Tom exclaimed:
"Before I heard about Bill Kong's job negotiation, I was a little surprised. I couldn't believe that Huaxia can now make this kind of special effects blockbuster. I wasn't sure before I came, but after getting off the plane, I feel that your capital city is what I imagined. Not the same."

Lu Heng didn't say much about it. Although seeing is believing, you have to publicize a lot of things, especially the good ones - a good example is how many mainlanders watched those black films or young and Dangerous in Hong Kong back then. Movies, I thought Xiangjiang was messy and dangerous, but I went to find it was different.

In the next few days, whether it was daily communication or making requests for movies, receiving feedback or suggesting revisions, Lu Heng's statement was accurate, and Lu Heng's understanding of what they said was not wrong. Now... not only Tom and the others have nothing to say, but that The translation is completely dumb.

Of course, it’s not that she’s useless all the time. After all, Lu Heng is only one person. Regarding the production of special effects, other actors in the play are involved, and there are even group actors shooting on the green screen. She conveyed the adjustment opinions and gave feedback to those actors.

Moreover, Lu Heng has other things to do, and it is impossible to be here all the time, and their lives outside of work also need this translator to communicate.

In short, she felt a lot of pressure when she was next to Lu Heng, but she felt like a fish in water when she was not by Lu Heng's side, but she no longer had the high self-esteem she had at the beginning, and her attitude was much more normal.

This kind of work lasted for half a month. During the period, they made the effect of borrowing arrows from straw boats. The plan had been made in the early stage, but the shooting would take two days. Lu Heng took advantage of these two days to fly to Treasure Island.

Although there is a scene of Zhou Yu borrowing arrows from a grass boat, the special effects are on the boat and in the river. This part is mainly played by Zhuge Liang, the sergeant, and Lu Su. Zhou Yu, played by Lu Heng, is not on the boat, so he is naturally not needed to shoot.

After arriving at Baodao Airport, Wu Zongxian, who had been waiting for Lu Heng to land, had already arrived. He brought a luxury car to pick him up, and he was smiling, so that Lu Heng didn't realize that he was already heavily in debt, and thought he had made a fortune.

Although he wants to sell Alfa quickly, if he is too eager, others will definitely lower the price. Only people around him and the company know about this, but he believes that Zhou Jielun and the others will not tell it.

Selling Alfa, besides Wu Zongxian’s loss, also has his judgment on the record market. One is that the sales of records are declining now. This is based on the fact that he runs a record company and can contact countless singers as a host. Another is that there are too many ways to download songs on the Internet, and mp3 has become popular in Taiwan.

Because of this, he wants to sell Alfa first, even if Jay Chou is under his banner, it is not a pity, because the current Jay Chou has not yet reached the height of the future, he can only be regarded as a best-selling singer.

Not only that, although Wu Zongxian has always regarded himself as Jay Chou's "discoverer" and "bole", but in fact, it was Yang Junrong, the professional manager in charge of his Alfa company, who really gave Jay Chou a chance to debut.

At the beginning, Jay Chou was indeed signed by Wu Zongxian after the competition of the show "Super Rookie King", but it was also because of his creative ability, that is, the direction of the musician behind the scenes. Chores.As for letting him debut, Wu Zongxian really didn't think about it, and later said many times on the show: "He looks like a ghost", "He is very dull, doesn't talk, and he doesn't look good. At first glance, I thought he was mentally handicapped"— ——Although with his big-mouthed character, it was just a joke, and Zhou Ye is indeed not handsome, but this is also a reflection of his inner thoughts.

Yang Junrong came to the company later than Jay Chou, and seeing this young man wandering around the company, or working on his creation, he asked him if he had composed any songs, and Jay Chou played "Lovely Woman" for him, of course At this time, it was just the song, and Yang Junrong was so excited after listening to it, he called Wu Zongxian and insisted on Zhou's debut.

Jay Chou’s opinion is not important, Yang Junrong’s opinion Wu Zongxian still needs to listen to, and then Wu Zongxian used his face to invite Vivian Hsu, not only to appear as the MV heroine, but also to write lyrics for this song – on this point, Wu Zongxian also has him as.

But at this time, facing Wu Zongxian's bragging about Jay Chou and the "exaggeration" of those artists under his banner, Lu Heng even felt a little bit like laughing, brother, it's hard for me to hold back my laughter, okay?

After arriving at the place, besides Wu Zongxian and Lu Heng, there were also old friends and collaborators such as Zhang Xiaoyan and Peng Guohua, as well as Universal's executives in Treasure Island.

Looking at Peng Guohua in front of him, Lu Heng sighed in his heart. According to the development of the previous life, he would have passed away at this time, but Lu Heng asked him to go to the hospital for a physical examination the year before last. After finding out the problem, he is still sitting in front of him.

Although he didn't know that he walked through the gate of hell, he still thanked Lu Heng for his reminder, and now he is not working as hard as before, focusing on health preservation and salted fish.

This meal Wu Zongxian had a bit of a bad taste, because such an occasion is not suitable to talk about his Alfa, but he still wants to have fun during the dinner, even though he is a famous talker now, but he still has the lowest position during the dinner .

Wu Zongxian wanted to invite Lu Heng to his company after dinner, but Lu Heng smiled and said:
"Let's wait until the main things on my side are finished, and then go and have a look."

Wu Zongxian had no choice but to give up.

Although Lu Heng rejected him again, it made him more motivated to sell to Lu Heng. Of course, this was not a rebellious psychology, but he knew that Lu Heng really had something to do.

The main thing of Lu Heng's visit to Treasure Island this time is not only not his Alfa, nor even the music, but the TV series.

Lu Heng also talked with Zhang Xiaoyan about this during the meeting. In addition to Lu Heng's company's investment, their TV station can also contribute a part of the share. The Universal Treasure Island branch said they also want to share a cup. Lu Heng smiled and said that we can talk about it later.

Later, under Universal's arrangement, Lu Heng met the still youthful Angela Chang, and looked at Lu Heng with wide eyes in surprise: "Wow, it's really Lu Heng!"

　thanks for your support.
