Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 128 What does it mean?

"Is it an action movie?" asked Pan Disheng.

"No, it's a horror movie, and the heroine is a female reporter."

"Then I strongly suggest you give it a try!"

Pan Disheng hugged Yang Ziqiong.

He really doesn't want the other party to act in any action movies anymore.

It would be fine if you just acted in an ordinary action movie, but who else can you imitate? Jackie Chan?

A woman, jumping up and down, doing all kinds of dangerous moves.

A movie only makes tens of millions, why risk your life?
What if something bad happens to you one day, wouldn’t all your early investment be in vain?
Horror movies are good!
Whether the box office is high or not is secondary. The most important thing is that there are no dangerous actions.

Seeing Huang Ze's confident look, the box office performance will probably not be too bad. He can become famous without any risk. It just requires him to show his face and film a few scenes. It is simply perfect.

"Was it the script written by Director Huang himself?" Yang Ziqiong confirmed.

"Of course!" Huang Ze nodded, "I have to review even the storyboard before I allow the filming to start."

"Storyboard script..."

Yang Ziqiong was shocked by this word.

There is actually a storyboard script?
When making movies in Hong Kong, the scripts are all written as they are filming, which is called "flying paper".

No wonder Director Huang is famous in Europe!

Yang Ziqiong praised it, thinking that this was a script written by Huang Ze, and nodded in agreement, "Director Huang, if you don't mind, of course I'm willing. When will the filming start?"

"We can start preparations this month, and filming should start in a month or two. I also hope that Ms. Yang can observe the journalist industry before filming begins."

"No problem!" Yang Ziqiong felt more and more confident, and there was also a strong sense of freshness.

Storyboard script, long-term role experience.

These are all brand new versions that I have never seen before!
"Director Huang, it's a pleasure working with you."

"Happy cooperation!"

……

The next day, I reviewed Zhang Jianya's storyboard for "The Ring", made some minor changes, and then asked him to prepare the crew to prepare for location scouting.

Huang Ze then immediately began to prepare for the release of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

"One million! I'll give you a budget of one million! Before April 4, put ads in newspapers and magazines that young people like to read, and hand out flyers in front of music stores. I want my fans and young people, especially students, to know about Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

“This is a work that I wrote, directed and starred in!”

"And I'll be starring in it!"

Although he only had a dozen minutes of scenes, and half of them were as a background, he was still one of the protagonists!

There is absolutely no problem in calling him the protagonist.

First trick the audience into the cinema.

Besides, I'm not lying. The chef is the protagonist, but the other supporting characters just have too many roles.

"understand!"

"One more thing, send someone to London to find a voice actor! I want a London working-class accent."

When Huang Ze was filming this movie, he specifically asked the leading actors to perform an English version of the lines, which was the original lines.

The actors have different English skills, and some speak their lines well and some don’t, but their lip movements are correct.

The difficulty of dubbing is greatly reduced, and you can just follow the lines you wrote.

Once the dubbing is completed, Huang Ze will call George over and let the film enter the United States!

"Yes! I'll do it right away."

"Okay!" Nodding and letting him go out, Huang Ze walked to the window, squinting his eyes at the scenery outside, feeling a little uneasy.

After all, the beginning of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is quite unfriendly to the audience.

I don’t know what the final box office results will be like!
I hope I can give myself a satisfactory result.

After all, the box office in Hong Kong is also very important.

If the box office in Hong Kong had only made a few million, Huang Ze didn't believe that George would ask for a high price just because he was the leading actor. He would definitely try every means to lower the price. The key point was that it would be difficult for him to refute.

"Fans, give some support!"

...Azhen is a freshman and her favorite thing to do is listening to music.

However, compared to others who prefer to listen to Cantonese songs, her taste is more biased and her favorite is English songs.

Ever since Huang Ze rose to prominence in the world music scene, he has become an irrevocably loyal fan of Huang Ze!

She has listened to every song of Huang Ze.

Even Mandarin songs.

Every two weeks, he would go to the nearest music store and ask, "Do you have Huang Ze's latest songs?"

"He hasn't released any songs yet, do you want to check out some other singers'?"

"Oh, never mind." Zhen walked out of the store.

As soon as he walked out, a man handed him a flyer. "A new movie is out. It's written, directed, and starred by Huang Ze. This is Jerry Huang's first time as the lead actor. Don't miss it! You'll regret it if you miss it!"

"Huang Ze?" Ah Zhen looked down at the flyer.

This is a movie poster.

At the top it says "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels".

Below are stills of the four actors. Because of their positions, Zhang Xueyou and an actor she didn't know appeared slightly smaller, while Huang Ze and Liang Jiahui were of the same size.

Huang Ze did this on purpose. After all, not everyone listens to his songs, and not everyone is his fan.

In the minds of moviegoers in Hong Kong Island, Liang Jiahui's face is more familiar.

Of course, in Azhen's heart, the other three people combined are not as dazzling as Huang Ze.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull up.

"That's right. What's the point of just making a movie? You have to act. Otherwise, who will our fans watch you?"

His eyes continued to move downward.

"It will be released in D&B cinemas on April 4st."

"Well, I can ask my boyfriend to watch it with me and buy two tickets."

Ah Zhen hugged the poster in her arms, went home happily, and then called her boyfriend Ah Qiang, "Let's go to the movies on April Fool's Day, April 1st. Don't you like watching movies the most?"

"Okay!" This was considered as his girlfriend taking the initiative to ask him out. A Qiang was very excited, but then he felt a little disappointed. "There are not many good movies this month. I don't know what to watch. Forget it, I'll just watch whatever is available in the theater when the time comes."

"Who said there are no good movies?" Ah Zhen said unhappily, "Huang Ze's movie will be released on April 4st."

"So that's what happened."

"After watching In the Mood for Love, didn't you say you didn't understand it and would never watch his movies again?" A Qiang didn't really like going to the cinema to watch Huang Ze's movies because they were too profound.

He prefers to watch something lighter.

Like Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, and all kinds of comedies.

To watch Huang Ze’s films, I mostly bought video tapes.

If his girlfriend hadn't insisted on dragging him to watch it, he probably wouldn't have bought a ticket for Huang Ze.

"But he's the lead actor this time! And it's a comedy."

"Huang Ze is filming a comedy?" A Qiang really wanted to say, "Him?"

"He can do it too?"

If Huang Ze can make comedies, then I can make "Star Wars".

"What do you mean?" Hearing her boyfriend's tone, Ah Zhen frowned and asked somewhat unhappily.

"I don't mean anything."

"What do you mean by you don't mean anything? You look down on my idol?"

"I didn't mean that!"

"But I think that's what you meant. Forget it. If you don't like watching his movies, I won't ask you to go. I won't go to watch it with you. I'll go watch it alone!"

"No, I like to watch it. I like Huang Ze so much. Isn't that enough?"

"What do you mean this is not enough? I feel like you are impatient with me, so I won't bother you anymore." Azhen hung up the phone.

"Beep beep..."
