Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 143 I’m a father
Can't believe it.

Isn't it necessary to ask for help from others, or even mortgage or sell your house when making a movie?

When did it become like this?
"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Huang Ze laughed. "It's a cost of over a million dollars. I won't lie to you."

"But I might have to make a phone call and find someone to collaborate with."

Huang Ze doesn't think he can invest however he wants.

Is the film and television industry in Hong Kong tainted?
The situation in Taiwan is even worse, with the film and television industry being directly controlled by the black forces.

Without the participation of local forces, Huang Ze really doubted whether "A City of Sadness" could be filmed.

Rather than getting into all kinds of trouble later, it’s better to just get people involved.

Sharing a piece with the other party can save a lot of trouble.

Huang Ze naturally went to find Cai Songlin. He was the only person he had met with the film producer there!
Huang Ze returned to the office, found Cai Songlin's phone number, and called him.

"Hey!"

"Brother Huang!" Cai Songlin on the opposite side was in a good mood. The box office of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" was very good and was very popular among young people. This made him feel a little more intimate after hearing Huang Ze's voice.

"Cooperation!"

"Oh?" Cai Songlin sat up straighter. "How do we cooperate?"

Huang Ze talked about Hou Hsiao-hsien's City of Sadness, "The estimated cost is NT$50 million, and Mr. Tsai can pay 20%. When the time comes, all the copyrights of Wanwan will belong to Mr. Tsai, and he will just need to deal with any problems that may arise during the filming."

"Can you still make money then?"

Cai Songlin frowned, thinking that this business was not risky for him, but Huang Ze's was full of risks.

Being cautious, he suspected that there might be some conspiracy behind this.

"I want to take this film to Venice when the time comes." Huang Ze smiled, "You know, Venice is where I started in the film industry. If I can win one or two awards there, I will make some money."

"And if there is a prize, Mr. Cai, your box office in Taiwan will be able to sell more."

"Oh, so that's it!" Cai Songlin suddenly felt it made sense.

Then this cooperation is possible.

However, he did not agree immediately, and said that he would think about it and give me a reply in half a month.

After hanging up the phone, he sent someone to investigate Hou Xiaoxian.

Upon checking, he found out that the company was actually collaborating with the movie called "Daughter of the Nile". He took a look at it, but he didn't know how it performed at the box office as it hadn't been released yet. However, he could feel that the director was reliable.

Think about it again, this is a big production with an investment of 50 million. Just by promoting this investment amount, even if it is an art film, it should not be difficult for me to recover the cost of 10 million.

After all, there is still a market for videotapes, and you can get them back through theaters.

Guaranteed profit without loss!
As for the money that can be earned from winning an award in Venice and selling copyrights, he is not jealous. Firstly, he may not win the award, and secondly, he is not very familiar with this path.

Since you can't make money yourself, let those who can make money do it, and you can just follow them and try your luck.

He said it would take two weeks, but in less than three days he called Huang Ze and agreed to it.

Everyone signed a contract together, and Huang Ze felt relieved after Hou Xiaoxian also signed.

As expected, you can make money and gain fame.

From now on, everyone who sees me will say that I have a keen eye.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Hou Xiaoxian was even more excited than he was.

After signing, he clenched his fist tightly.

"No matter what, the next film has been decided, and with so much investment, I must shoot it with all my heart to live up to Director Huang's almost unreserved trust!"

Yang Dechang, who learned the news, also became interested.

However, he doesn't have any new projects for the time being, so he has to put it on hold and will come to Huang Ze again when he has an idea.

……

After dealing with the investment in "A City of Sadness", Huang Ze completely put his mind at ease about work and stayed in the hospital, ready to be a father at any time. After waiting for two days, at three o'clock in the morning on August 10, Gong Xing was sent to the delivery room.

And Huang Ze was waiting outside.

The more excited you are in your heart, the calmer you appear on the surface.

I don’t know why, but my mind was full of Bu Jingyun, played by He Rundong, “I’m a father now, I’m a father now”, just like a ghost video, playing over and over again in Huang Ze’s head.

Until the door of the delivery room opened.

Then Huang Ze heard a baby crying.

"Mother and child are safe. The boy weighs 15 pounds and 22 ounces. Congratulations, Mr. Huang." The director was the one who delivered the baby. He received many gifts from Huang Ze and was naturally very nice to him.

"Then can I go in?"

"It's better not to. Mrs. Huang will be out soon. After all, Mr. Huang hasn't been disinfected."

At this time, the baby's crying became louder and louder, and a nurse came out holding a child.

Looking down, he looked like a monkey, unable to open his eyes, just crying with his mouth open.

"My dear, it should become more beautiful, right?"

"If he looks like this, he's really unworthy of his father's fucking appearance!"

Taking a deep breath, Huang Ze decided to wait and see.

After holding the baby for a while, she handed the baby to the nurse, asking her to do some treatment for the newborn.

Not long after, Gong Xing was pushed into the ward. Huang Ze sat between him and the child, each holding one of the child's hands, which looked like it could break a bone if he exerted too much force.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After saying three words, the two of them stopped talking and focused their attention on the child.

……

8 month 13 number.

The movie "The Ring", which was adapted from the "murder tape" that caused a lot of rumors in Hong Kong Island, was officially released.

Some tabloids even said that it contained clues to cracking the "murder tape" and that real footage of a female ghost was captured in the film, which made a group of viewers eager to give it a try.

"Azhen, let's go watch "The Ring." Aqiang took the initiative to find Azhen.

"No, I heard there are ghosts here, and it seems to be related to the recent "murder videotape". I'm scared..."

"Fear?"

Aqiang was delighted.

Just be afraid!

I’m afraid you’re not afraid.

Aqiang has heard a lot from his friends about the benefits of taking girls to watch horror movies, but he has never put it into practice.

Such a good opportunity must not be missed, so he immediately said, "This is the script written by Huang Ze, and he is also the producer. Your idol, no, our idol's movie, if you don't go and watch it, will you still have the nerve to say that we are Huang Ze's fans in the future?"

"Besides, don't be afraid, I'm here." Aqiang patted his chest loudly.

"So what if there's still a female ghost?"

"I have a strong Yang energy, which is a hindrance to her."

"Oh, just go and take a look. Just watch it once. I've already bought the ticket for tonight. If I don't go, it will be a waste of money."

"Okay then." Ah Zhen nodded.

I heard that the female ghost here is called Azhen, which has the same pronunciation as my name. I guess she won’t hurt me, right?
