I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 114 Accident
"Director Wan, how do you feel about "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" achieving a box office of 1850 million in one week after its release?"

This question, especially the reporter's "You are so awesome" look, made Wan Qingshan couldn't help complaining in his heart, "800 million is not a high box office. In the mainland, it is over [-] million!" '

"Well, thank you to the Hong Kong audience for your love!"

Wan Qingshan really couldn't pretend to be flattered by this question, so he could only answer it very perfunctorily.

The reporter girl was stunned for a moment, and then looked puzzled.

Wan Qingshan's perfunctory answer made Wan Qingshan look down on Hong Kong Island in the eyes of all Hong Kong reporters.

Therefore, as soon as Wan Qingshan finished his answer, a reporter with a hot temper asked angrily, "Director Wan Qingshan, do you look like we are from Hong Kong?"

The reporter angrily spoke loudly, causing everyone to look over. Some Hong Kong celebrities looked at Wan Qingshan with anger in their eyes.

Wan Qingshan was a little confused. Did his perfunctory tone just now make them feel that they looked down on Hong Kong Islanders?Then their minds are too fragile!
After Wan Qingshan was stunned, he said sincerely, "I just said thank you to the Hong Kong Island audience for their love. I don't know where you feel that I look down on the Hong Kong Island people."

"What you said is fine, but your tone just now clearly looked down on the people of Hong Kong!" the reporter said with a very angry expression.

Wan Qingshan cursed in his heart, 'Damn, this is really the case! '

"The way I speak..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang led several security guards and walked over quickly.

"Director Wan, leave first!" Jiang Zhiqiang walked over and whispered beside Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan didn't ask why he didn't explain. He nodded, followed Jiang Zhiqiang, and walked out under the escort of security guards.

Seeing that Wan Qingshan was leaving, the reporters suddenly became even more excited!

"Wan Qingshan, do you really look down on Hong Kong Islanders?"

"Wan Qingshan, why do you look down on us Hong Kong Islanders?"

"Wanqingshan, you are not welcome on Hong Kong Island! I want to call on all Hong Kong Islanders to boycott your movie!"

,,,,,,
Only after a group of reporters pushed and pushed excitedly and several strong security guards escorted Wan Qingshan safely out of the theater.

Jiang Zhiqiang had asked people to prepare it before, so as soon as he walked out of the theater, a commercial vehicle turned a corner and stopped in front of Wanqingshan.

As soon as Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang got into the car, Jiang Zhiqiang immediately said to the driver, "Let's have a banquet!"

After the car drove more than ten meters, Wan Qingshan said to Jiang Zhiqiang, "Mr. Jiang, Zhang Jin and the others are still inside, nothing will happen to them!"

"Don't worry, Director Wan. When I asked security to escort you, I already ordered you to go down. Security will escort them out in a moment."

Wan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the reporters would go crazy and attack Zeng Li and the others.

Seeing Wan Qingshan let out a long breath, Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Director Wan, you have never encountered such a scene!"

"I've never seen it before, either in the mainland or abroad."

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he muttered in his mind, "Don't say I've encountered it, I've never seen it before. The media in later generations is so crazy, and I haven't seen any celebrity encounter such a thing!" '

Jiang Zhiqiang suppressed his smile and sighed, "Yes, that's what journalists from Hong Kong Island do.

They were not like this before, but now, the Hong Kong film and television industry is sick.

Hong Kong Island's film market is increasingly declining. Everyone knows this, but they are still immersed in the glory days of Hong Kong Island's film and television industry in the 90s.

The difference between reality and the soul is too big, which makes many people very sensitive. Sometimes a word can drive them crazy. "

Jiang Zhiqiang's words silenced Wan Qingshan!

At the same time, it also made Wan Qingshan understand why Hong Kong artists look down on mainland artists.

Wanqingshan was very curious before!
Hong Kong artists make a living in the Mainland, so why do they still look down on the Mainland?

There is also the Academy Awards. Even though the shortlisted mainland artists showed better acting skills than other nominees, the Academy Awards still awarded the award to Hong Kong artists!

Now Wanqingshan understands everything!
Hong Kong's film and television industry is in decline. They can't find the pride they had as Hong Kong artists to the outside world. They can only go to the mainland, where the film and television industry has just developed, to find that sense of pride.

In the past, Wan Qingshan only thought that many artists in Hong Kong were hateful, but as the saying goes, hateful people must have pity!
Most of today's Hong Kong artists are just like young people in rural areas who don't show off outside but show off when they go back to their hometowns. The more they lack something, the more they show off.

As for the Academy Awards, it can be said to be the hallmark of the glorious past of Hong Kong films. Now when the Academy Awards are mentioned, it will remind people of those Hong Kong films that were sought after by all countries in Asia.

If most of the Academy Awards are taken away by mainland artists, then over time, when people think of the Academy Awards, they will only think of mainland films, and the glorious past of Hong Kong films will be slowly forgotten.

Therefore, even if the Hong Kong Film Awards decline, most of the trophies will remain on Hong Kong Island.

At the same time, the old filmmakers who control the Hong Kong Film and Television Awards brought the Hong Kong film and television industry into a glorious era, but also witnessed the decline of the Hong Kong Island film and television industry.

The glorious past of the Hong Kong film and television industry is their glorious past, and they certainly don’t want their glorious past to be forgotten.Therefore, no matter what happens, they will keep most of the Academy Awards on Hong Kong Island.

After Jiang Zhiqiang sighed, he was silent for a long time. When the car was approaching the hotel, he said, "Director Wan, don't take the words of those reporters to heart. They often make calls and it's useless.

Hong Kong's film and television industry is sick, but the audience is not. As long as the movie is exciting, they won't care. "

The car arrived at a luxury hotel. After Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang chatted in the hotel lobby for a while, Zeng Li and others came over.

After Wan Qingshan left, Zeng Li and others were surrounded by reporters, asking them if they also disrespected the people of Hong Kong Island. Some reporters even shouted at them to get out of Hong Kong Island.

In particular, several reporters looked like they were about to eat people, which frightened Zeng Li and the others to the point of trembling with fear!
"Director Wan," Zeng Li walked over quickly as if she were meeting Wan Qingshan's backbone.

But as soon as she finished the greeting, she realized that she had gone too far towards Wan Qingshan, so she couldn't say the next words.

Seeing that Zeng Li looked a little strange, Wan Qingshan thought she was frightened, "It's okay, you can sit down first!"

After Zeng Li and others sat down, they drank some water and slowly calmed down.

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang told Wan Qingshan about sending "Loyal Liver and Brave" to be released in Wanwan.

"Director Wan, there was something wrong with my relationship with Wanwan, so I didn't ask about the release of "Loyalty Liver and Righteousness" in Wanwan.

Now that the matter over there is over, I would like to ask about the release of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" in Wanwan. "

Wan Qingshan readily agreed without thinking.

"Of course it's no problem for me to have "Loyalty Liver, Righteousness and Bravery" to be released in Wanwan. After all, I can also earn more box office.

Mr. Jiang, it should be the same as before. Regarding the release of Wanwan, I have to worry about Anle Pictures. "

Wan Qingshan agreed readily, but Jiang Zhiqiang was not happy at all. He waved the assistant aside and looked at Zeng Li and others.

When Zeng Li and others saw this, they each found reasons to leave.

"Director Wan, Mr. Jiang, I'm a little hungry. Let's go have something to eat."

,,,,,,
As soon as Zeng Li and others left, the curious Wan Qingshan immediately asked, "Mr. Jiang, is there something wrong?"

"Director Wan, how should I say this? I can't say it at this moment."

"Mr. Jiang, Anle Pictures was responsible for the release of several of my previous films in Hong Kong Island and Wanwan. We have a very happy cooperation.

If you have anything to say, just say it! "

Jiang Zhiqiang picked up the water glass on the table, took a swig of water, and said, "Director Wan, since you said so, I will say it straight.

"Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" was a box office hit in both mainland China and Hong Kong Island. Some people in the Bay Area were jealous and wanted a piece of the pie.

They plan to use 100 million to buy out the box office revenue of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave" in Wanwan! "

Wan Qingshan suddenly frowned, 100 million!

"Director Wan, I know that the figure of 100 million will make you very dissatisfied and make you give up sending the film to Wanwan for release.

But I hope you, Director Wan, will do me a favor and agree to send the film to Wanwan for screening.If you agree, I will pay another 200 million. "

Wan Qingshan knew that Jiang Zhiqiang was embarrassed to agree to the box office revenue of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Bravery" in Wanwan for 300 million, so he compensated him with a premium.

The movie market in Wanwan is pitifully small. The box office of "The True Meaning of Love" in Wanwan was only close to 1000 million, and "Loyal Liver and Righteousness" only had a box office of just over 1000 million at most.

According to the normal distribution and release, if the box office is 1000 million, Wanwan Cinema will deduct one deduction, Anle Pictures will deduct one deduction, and miscellaneous expenses will be deducted, which is estimated to be only about two million in his hands!

As long as he can give him enough money, Wan Qingshan will not refuse such a thing.

"Mr. Jiang, you said so, I will definitely help you with this. After you draw up the contract, just ask me to sign it." Wan Qingshan said pretending to be generous.

Wan Qingshan frowned when he heard 100 million before, but now he immediately agreed to 300 million.Jiang Zhiqiang knew that Wan Qingshan only agreed to this for money.

Jiang Zhiqiang felt a little contempt for Wan Qingshan being moved by money. Instead, his eyes lit up and an idea came to his mind!

After Jiang Zhiqiang temporarily suppressed his thoughts, he pretended to laugh and said, "Haha, Director Wan, you are still so generous."

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and Jiang Zhiqiang chatted for a while, and Hong Kong artists invited by Jiang Zhiqiang to participate in the promotion came one after another.

Jiang Zhiqiang asked the people in the hotel to prepare wine!

This banquet was not a banquet at all, but rather like a movie celebration party, with everyone holding wine glasses and chatting among themselves.

Wan Qingshan held the wine glass that he had specially asked the waiter to replace with drinks, and introduced a group of Hong Kong artists to him with Jiang Zhiqiang almost forcing him.

Regarding these Hong Kong artists, Wan Qingshan only chatted a few words with Tony Leung Ka Fai, who he met at the premiere of "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave".

To the rest of the people, Wan Qingshan showed a very distant attitude!

Many of the people Jiang Zhiqiang introduced to him later made inappropriate remarks during the Occupy Central incident on Hong Kong Island in 2014 and were banned by the higher authorities.

If he seemed too familiar with them, Wan Qingshan was afraid that someone would use this to attack him in the future.

Wanqingshan's very alienated attitude made many people full of anger!

Originally, because in a previous news interview, a reporter said that Wan Qingshan looked down on the people of Hong Kong, they were already dissatisfied with Wan Qingshan.

For the sake of Jiang Zhiqiang, they endured it at that time.

Now Wanqingshan is still cold towards them.

This makes some people unable to bear it!
