Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 204 Leaving
After taking a group photo, tonight’s wrap-up party came to an end.

Huang Ze said goodbye to everyone one by one.

By the way, I would like to give some sincere advice to these actors who have not yet gained popularity.

"Jin, your facial expressions are very developed. You can try to continue to delve into comedy films in the future. I am optimistic about your development."

"Uma, you can indeed play a beautiful woman, but I think your lines are tough enough. It would be nice to try some fighting roles. If a female actress wants to carry the box office alone, she needs characteristics."

"..."

“Jennifer, control your weight. You are in really good shape now. You will become a top star. We will have a chance to work together again in the future.”

"Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. I really enjoyed making a movie with you."

"Me too." After a kiss on the cheek, the last actor walked away.

"Ah……"

Looking at the backs of everyone leaving one by one, Huang Ze smiled.

When they think back on their acting careers in the future, I might become their guiding light.

And if I can develop better, then these words will have a better effect, I will remember today's words more clearly, and maybe I will even express gratitude to myself on some talk shows.

Of course, if they don't do well, then "Pulp Fiction" might be the movie they regret making the most.

Everyone is pursuing profit, and hanging out with whoever is popular is actually the norm for most people.

"So, we still have to keep improving ourselves!"

Huang Ze drank the remaining red wine in the glass, his mind full of the movie.

The day before yesterday was New Year’s Eve!
In order to film "Pulp Fiction", I didn't go back for years.

This film must be completed as soon as possible.

The day after the wrap party, Huang Ze immediately started working on post-production editing.

Tommy, the producer sent by Warner, knew that it was the Spring Festival in the East, which was equivalent to Christmas in the West.

When I thought about how Huang Ze has been devoted to his work, I was also amazed by his professionalism.

"Huang, you have drawn the storyboards in such detail. You can definitely hand these things over to other people. You should trust their professional abilities."

"You can also go back and rest for a while and reunite with your family."

"Thank you! But I'm worried." Huang Ze shook his head.

"It's not just about quality, we also have to get the finished film out as quickly as possible and send it to the Cannes Film Festival."

"You know, I'm a bit unlucky there. If our film can enter the main competition unit, or even go further and win an award, it will also be a kind of publicity for the film."

"Oh?" It was the first time that Tommy heard Huang Ze's idea. "Go to Cannes?"

Recalling the filming of this movie.

The muscles in Tommy's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

The film is full of long and short fucks, and the content is all about gangs, contraband, murder, and robbery. Just like the title of the film, it is vulgar.

A film like this, still going to Cannes? In the main competition section?

Well, considering Huang Ze’s influence among the three largest film studios in Europe, he should be accepted in the main competition unit. After all, this film is also innovative in its structure.

but……

"Can I win a prize?"

"What do you mean?" Huang Ze glanced at Tommy. "Yes, no one can say for sure whether a film can win an award, but who can say for sure whether a film can't win an award?"

This film previously won the Cannes Palme d'Or, which is recognized as the most prestigious of the three major award-winning films.

Although the time is different and the judges are different, it may not be possible to win the highest award.

But the value is there.

Huang Ze is also quite confident in it.

"Your company just needs to try its best to mobilize resources to help me."

"It doesn't cost much to challenge for the top three, but once we win an award, the profits will be huge. Promotion in North America will be more effective, which will benefit everyone." "Okay, I apologize for my doubts. The company will fully cooperate with your trip to Cannes." Tommy couldn't even think of a reason for the company's refusal.

There are so many judges who need public relations than the Oscars.

The three major European judges have much fewer judges, at most a dozen, and they don’t need much public relations.

It's nothing more than the travel expenses of the crew, or renting a hall in Cannes or something.

Even a million dollars might not be enough to spend.

Huang Ze has influence there and wants to win an award, so the company is happy to cooperate.

……

Huang Ze already has a finished film in his mind.

In addition to working overtime, the progress was very fast and the film was completed in mid-March.

Huang didn't have to worry about anything anymore. He handed the film directly to Warner and asked them to send it to the selection committee of the Cannes Film Festival.

After all, Warner has been a giant for decades and has existed longer than Cannes.

The face is much bigger than oneself.

After receiving the news that Warner had handed over the film, Huang Ze returned to Hong Kong Island.

He walked out of the airport and went straight to the car he usually rode in.

When he opened the door, Gong Xing was sitting inside.

"Welcome me personally?" Huang Ze smiled and sat down.

"Oh, am I here at a bad time?"

"I heard that my husband had returned home and I personally went to greet him. This is my fault, isn't it?" Gong Qian tilted his head to the side. "Who knows if he has fallen in love with the girl outside?"

"Where did Daiyu come from? Have you read too much Dream of the Red Chamber?" Huang Ze laughed and handed over a diamond ring that he bought in the United States and who knows where it came from. "A small gift for you."

"Is it just for me? Or does it belong to all the other sisters?"

"Other sisters have it, come on, speak human language!"

"Haha, just teasing you." Gong Yu didn't look at what was in the box, put it aside, and turned Huang Ze's head over, "Do you feel strange?"

"Don't worry, I won't be working for a while!" Huang Ze laughed, "At least I have to wait for Pulp Fiction to be released for a month or two before I can start planning a new film. I also need to have a good rest."

"It seems like you are very confident about this movie?"

"How can I justify my efforts?" Huang Ze raised his eyebrows. "I haven't asked much about the company in the past two months. As the supervisor, please report to me quickly. How is it going?"

"Xinghai Films is in post-production for God of Gamblers, The Grudge is almost finished, and Days of Being Wild. The company knows the film selector in France, so they sent it to Cannes."

"Oh, maybe we can meet then."

"What about ATV?"

"Uncle Shao Liu is really ruthless!" Gong Wei sighed, "TVB aired their version of Justice Bao in prime time to compete with ATV. The audiences were already fond of Jin Chaoqiong's version of Justice Bao, and their ratings position was not regained."

“But I can’t stand the wireless playing all the time!”

“It’s also on during the day.”

"Plus, Justice Bao has been on the air for half a year, and the audience is a little tired of it. With TVB's move, everyone is complaining, and the ratings of both parties are in trouble."

"Then TVB suddenly stopped broadcasting Justice Bao, and people didn't like watching Justice Bao on ATV anymore. The ratings during prime time dropped significantly, back to 35%, a significant drop."

"I heard from Liang Shuyi that she is preparing to take the company's new film "The Unforgiven" to compete."

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is doing well."

"How is it good?" Huang Ze asked.

"With the help of the audience brought by "Justice Bao", "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has recently suppressed "Happy Tonight"."

"And the gay English version has also achieved very high ratings. More than a dozen countries have come to ATV to buy its domestic copyright. I heard that the total sales amounted to more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars."
