Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 150: Self-reliance
Zhen Zidan is well aware of Li Lianjie's influence.

The debut work came out of nowhere and became a hit all over the country, even in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

As for the Waterloo film "Chinese Hero", after watching it, he always felt that there were problems with the plot and it was too heavy.

The martial arts moves and shot arrangements are also rather immature. Li Lianjie is clearly not on the same level as Jackie Chan in terms of directing and action shot arrangements.

Failure was as expected!
But if he is just an actor, Zhen Zidan thinks it is still very attractive.

But this was only one of the reasons why he agreed. What attracted him most was what Yuan Heping said, that the director of this play was Huang Ze!

It’s a name that anyone who is involved in the Chinese film industry would know.

The first Chinese-language film director to win the three highest awards.

I won a lot of awards in Europe.

I originally thought he wouldn't be able to make a commercial film, but I didn't expect his first commercial film to have a box office of over 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Recently, a horror film produced by the producer, "The Ring", broke the box office record of Hong Kong movies.

If he was a little worried that Huang Ze had never made a kung fu movie, thinking that each of Huang Ze's films were of different genres, he felt that he could give it a try.

It is impossible for a director who has always been successful to fail just because the villain uses him, right?
……

Huang Ze returned to his loyal Shanghai.

I'm in a very good mood.

The preparations for the film are going quite smoothly for now.

Zhen Zidan is willing to act.

With Liang Jiahui as a role model, Zheng Zeshi also signed the contract after paying half more in salary.

The rest of the crew members and martial arts actors were quickly assembled into the "Huang Feihong" crew like building blocks.

After giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to Huang Feihong's descendants, the other party also promised that they would actively praise the film after it was released.

of course.

The reason why Huang Ze was in such a good mood was because of the scenery in front of him.

Yangcheng Street!
After costing 23 million U.S. dollars after budget overruns, this film and television area, which brings together various famous buildings in Guangzhou from the 1960s and 1970s, was finally completed.

The area is 300 acres, with a construction area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters.

There are old locomotives, the Thirteenth Yi Pavilion, the Tianlan Pavilion, the British Consulate and other buildings.

There is also a photography studio covering an area of ​​7,000 square meters.

Looking at all this, Huang Ze suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart!

Sooner or later, this will become the largest film and television city in Asia!
By then, let alone the industries that will develop around the film and television city, we won’t even know how much we can collect from tickets alone.

This will also become a very important part of our film and television industry!
"Boss, it's so magnificent!" Some crew members who came with Huang Ze couldn't help but admire it.

At the same time, I was shocked by Huang Ze’s generosity!
For the sake of a film, a film and television city covering an area of ​​300 acres was built.

This is truly a unique achievement.

"I feel that after Taiwan lifts the ban on filming in the north, our Hong Kong crew will have to come here if they want to film again." Liu Zhenwei narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation with the Hong Kong crew members beside him.

"If such a grand film and television city is to be built in our place, the land price alone will make people feel heartbroken. With such a large piece of land, why don't we build a building but a film and television city? Who has so much money to burn?"

"Extras can save a lot of money!" Another staff member nodded, "In Hong Kong Island, you have to pay extras a hundred dollars a day, but here two dollars is definitely enough. Calculating the official exchange rate, it's four Hong Kong dollars." "We can shoot big scenes!" Liu Weiqiang's eyes were shining, "It won't cost much to call thousands of extras to shoot, but that scene, just thinking about it makes people feel excited!"

"Stop daydreaming here, let's go and take a look inside!" Huang Ze waved his hand and led the group inside, treating it as a tour.

Huang Ze looked at the completed buildings and discussed with everyone.

Which scene is shot here and which scene is shot there.

This also requires setting up the scenery, figuring out what it should look like, and then taking out the storyboards that you have drawn in advance.

After walking around for a long time and talking about all the things in general, Huang Ze took everyone to a restaurant for a meal.

After dinner, Huang Ze no longer had to worry about accommodation and left it to his employees to arrange.

He raised his wrist to check the time. It was already half past eight, so Huang Ze went straight home.

"Boom boom boom!"

"My son is back?" The voice of his father Huang Shi came from inside. Huang Ze had called home before coming back, so they knew that he would be staying in Shanghai for a long time.

"dad!"

When the door was opened and he saw his father's face, Huang Ze immediately raised his hand and bowed, "Congratulations on your promotion! Director Huang!"

"Hey! What's there to congratulate?" Huang Shi's smile faded, and he pretended to be calm and pressed his palm down, "Deputy, deputy!"

"You are being modest. It is only a matter of time before the word 'sub' is removed."

"You don't understand. There is only one letter difference between deputy and principal, but there are a lot of differences." Huang Shi stopped joking with his son and dragged Huang Ze inside. "Don't bother with these. Come in quickly."

"Son, your grandson is still young and can't come back. So, have you taken the photo of your grandson that I asked you to take?" The mother no longer took her son seriously and was only thinking about what her grandson would look like.

"I took it. How can I not take it?" Huang Ze took out a stack of photos, "I took a lot of them."

"Wow, it's cute!" Mom took the photo and studied it with Dad. "People say sons look like moms, but these eyes look a lot like Gong Xing's, which is better than your son's. Your son's eyes always give people a malicious feeling."

"My son looks like his mother." Huang Shi smiled, "I don't know whose eyes he got from."

"Brother! Help your sister!"

Huang Lan, who was already fourteen years old and 1.65 meters tall, still looked mischievous in front of Huang Ze. She walked into her room and took out a stack of audio tapes.

"sign!"

"Hmm?" Huang Ze realized that he had never seen this tape cover before!
Pick it up and look at the song title again.

Wow, isn’t this my second album?

It's sold domestically so quickly?
No! Should I say it was copied so quickly?

Look at which company made it, Pacific, thank you so much!

Huang Ze could only complain in his heart. This is the way it is now. Just use it and consider it as a way to increase his influence.

Huang Ze signed his name in Chinese and English on each tape while helping his sister. He said, "Why don't you make money this way? I'll give it to you."

"No!" Huang Lan refused. "I want to live on the fruits of my labor. I earn money through hard work and spend it wisely. This is called being self-reliant."

"So, is it hard for you?" Huang Ze rolled his eyes, "Shouldn't I be the one who has the hardest time signing autographs?"
