Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 187 Hollywood Olive Branch
"Send someone to the Little Star Art Troupe of Shanghai Television Station to see if there is a boy named Hu Ge there. His family should be Xu Hui's. He is either in kindergarten or first grade this year."

Huang Ze still wants to use some more famous actors in later generations, which would give him the pleasure of collecting cards.

And the facts have proved that they have greater potential. With the astrological signs, if we cultivate them now, there will be many benefits in the future!
Although the young man is not very good at acting in movies, his acting skills are still acceptable.

Who made us fellow villagers?
Huang Ze doesn't have high demands.

"Oh! Xu Hui." Zhang Jianya smiled, "Then we are not just fellow villagers, but fellow villagers among fellow villagers!"

"Okay, I'll ask him to play the little boy myself!"

"It's a good opportunity to accompany Zhang Yu home."

Zhang Jianya agreed immediately without worrying at all that the other party would disagree.

Nonsense, few people throughout history can withstand the golden bullet offensive.

The part you have is not that big, and it may be finished in less than a month. I’ll give you a few thousand, or ten thousand. I don’t believe your parents won’t agree.

Anyway, for such a young child, studying is not that important.

And by playing such a role, the child may have more options for career development in the future.

This is because Huang Ze has limited the candidates, otherwise Zhang Jianya would suspect that some parents would want this role for free or even pay money.

"Well, don't exceed a month!"

"At most half a month." Zhang Jianya smiled, "I will also finish drawing the storyboards, and you can give me some advice when the time comes."

"Row!"

……

It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

With a new task, Zhang Jianya did not delay and returned to Shanghai with his wife.

After walking out of the station, he took a taxi and got off near his home. Looking at the streets on both sides that had not changed much, Zhang Yu was a little emotional. "It's unbelievable. We can be considered rich, right? We are returning home in glory."

"Haha! Xiaocai, once this film is finished, we'll be rich."

"How much did the new movie give you? You look so happy? You didn't tell me when I asked you, don't you want to keep someone else outside?"

"No way! I can't even afford one." Zhang Jianya smiled and held up his index finger. "Not much, not much, just one million Hong Kong dollars."

"After the filming, if the box office is good enough, there will be a bonus. Lao Huang is quite generous to me."

"But compared to Old Huang, we are still far from being rich. We can only have enough food and clothing."

"That's true."

Zhang Yu smacked his lips, feeling shocked and unbelievable when he thought about it.

She knew Huang Ze should make a lot of money, but she never expected him to make so much!
In order to buy Asia Television, where she currently works, she paid nearly 500 million yuan in one go. It is said that she took out a loan, but she knows those banks too well, and they would consider it a good thing for you if they lend you the money at a 30% discount on your assets.

In other words, Huang Ze is likely to have 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Converted into RMB 500 million.

How many years has it been?
Zhang Yu recalled Huang Ze who asked him to help deliver love letters, and murmured, "It's only been five years!"

“No one expected that there would be such a big change in five years.”

"It's like a dream." Zhang Jianya seemed to be recalling something, and then suddenly laughed, "I've changed a lot, right? Five years ago, I wanted to be able to direct a movie by myself within five years."

"Who would have thought that I would not only direct a movie, but also break the box office record in Hong Kong Island, and receive millions of dollars in salary."

"You call that a big change?" Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at Zhang Jianya. "You've followed the right person. Otherwise, you'd still be working at the Shanghai Film Studio to gain experience."

"So what?" Zhang Jianya was unconvinced. "Throughout history, isn't it important to follow the right person?"

"That group of people in Pei County, and the six dukes of the early Ming Dynasty in Fengyang Prefecture at that time, how could there be so many coincidences? Didn't they follow the right boss?"

"You are older than Huang Ze."

"He was born after me, but he heard the Tao before me. I follow him and learn from him. I learn the Tao, so how can I know whether he was born before or after me?" Zhang Jianya said, shaking his head.

"You are well educated, that's enough." Zhang Yu smiled and glared at her husband, and stopped talking about this topic.

After returning home, the couple, who had brought a bunch of gifts to their family, were naturally dragged into a chat about family matters. Zhang Yu's younger brother, who was still in school, said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, take me to see Once Upon a Time in China. I heard it's a good movie." "Oh? It's already showing here?"

"It's been out for a week now, and many of my classmates have seen it and praised it highly. My mom won't let me see it, so can you take me to see it?"

"Okay."

That day, Zhang Jianya took Zhang Yu and his sister and brother to Daguangming to watch a movie in a taxi.

The ticket office was crowded with people and there was a lot of noise.

"This movie is so good. I feel the fighting scenes are even better than those in Shaolin Temple. I've watched it for the fifth time this week and I'm not tired of it."

"It was indeed a beautiful fight. Li Lianjie was absolutely amazing. I even want my son to learn martial arts and become a martial arts star."

"If you ask me, Huang Ze is still the best. The movies he made before were all good, including the martial arts movies. Li Lianjie should just be an actor. His previous movies are obviously not as good as this one."

"Yes, there are actions, feelings, and thoughts."

“It’s really popular, no less than the Shaolin Temple back then!” Looking at the long queue and listening to everyone’s discussions, Zhang Jianya smiled.

It’s a pity that my film cannot be shown in my hometown.

Otherwise, sooner or later, some people will be scared to death!

“There will always be other opportunities in the future.”

Zhang Jianya walked to the window to pay for the ticket.

Just after buying the ticket, he heard his brother-in-law calling out "Aunt Thirteen."

Suddenly, the noise in the team became louder, mostly containing Aunt Thirteen's words.

Turning around, I saw Cheng Hong standing in line with a few people behind her.

After all, he was also the assistant director, so Zhang Jianya went to greet him and said, "You are here to watch Once Upon a Time in China, too."

"Yeah." Cheng Hong's smile was somewhat unnatural.

Because it wasn't her first time to come.

These days she went to the cinema to watch movies almost every day, not for anything else, just to be recognized by others and enjoy that feeling.

And the more she enjoyed it, the more fortunate she was.

"Luckily, I recommended myself and agreed to sign with Director Huang's company."

"But these are not enough, and they are not safe enough." Before entering the cinema, Cheng Hong turned her head to look in the direction of Hong Kong Island.

……

Huang Ze was with a man at this time.

"George, you are not here to buy "Once Upon a Time in China" and sell it in the United States, right?" Huang Ze was found by George from Warner in Xinghai, and he entertained him in the reception room.

"No, no, no, I don't have much interest in this kind of kung fu movie for now."

"Then why did you come here?" Huang Ze asked.

"Hahaha." George pointed his index finger at Huang Ze, "you!"

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels also did well at the overseas box office. In the countries where our Warner Bros. released the film, plus Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it grossed over 25 million U.S. dollars. Including the North American box office, the global box office has exceeded 50 million!"

"Maybe even 60 million!"

"So the company executives want to invite you to Hollywood to make a movie."

"What movie?"

"That's up to you." George shrugged. "I'm sorry, but due to a stupid block from some high-level executive, the total production cost cannot exceed $7 million."

"So, as long as it's a commercial film, it's fine. We won't limit you to specific content."

"It just needs to pass the company's script review. Of course, this step is very simple, just going through the process. We believe in your ability, Huang!"
