Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 254 Finishing

Huang Ze actually knew the reason why they opposed it.

On New Year's Eve this year, Tang Guoqiang's wife ended her life in the toilet with a rope.

Tang Guoqiang has been a popular actor for more than ten years. His dramas "Little Flower" and "The Garland under the Mountain" were hits all over the country. He is a handsome young man and a pretty boy in the hearts of a generation.

When such a thing happened, and considering that his wife was already dead, it is understandable that all the dirty water was naturally put on him.

This period of time is infamous.

You can understand this by looking at the indignant expressions of those who oppose it.

However, Huang Ze did not think that Tang Guoqiang's mistake was that big.

The girl's family background is not ordinary. If it is really Tang Guoqiang's fault, I am afraid he will not be able to get away with it.

Moreover.

In my previous life, Tang Guoqiang had become a famous actor, appearing in countless TV shows and movies.

If it was really his fault, would it have passed the review?
It's not a role that anyone can play if they want to. Even if the character looks like the real thing, it's impossible to cast a person with a stain to play the role.

Of course, Huang Ze knowing does not mean they know, so Huang Ze did not force it and said, "I am just a consultant. If you are willing to consult, then I will ask. If you are not willing, what I say is actually useless."

"But after all, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the four great classics, and this is not some supporting role, but Prime Minister Zhuge."

"I'd better let him audition and see the effect."

"We should be able to produce better works and meet everyone's spiritual and cultural needs. This is what we should do."

"Okay, I've finished what I'm saying."

Next, Huang Ze began to perfectly perform his duties as a consultant.

You care, you ask, and if I know the answer, I will give it to you.

If you don't care, then I might as well keep silent and save trouble.

On the same day, Huang Ze asked the driver to take Tao Huimin back to the crew, and he stayed at CCTV for another two days, turning over the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his mind and helping everyone to work on the script. Then he returned to Chengde to do the remaining preparations for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

half a month later.

"Click, it's done!" Huang Ze shouted, and he felt all the muscles in his body relax.

As relieved.

What a relief!
For more than three months, I traveled all over the country.

Water towns, mountains, bamboo forests, and Gobi Desert.

Sometimes we have to live in tents.

Finally, I finished shooting all the materials that needed to be shot.

Fortunately, I went directly for the finished film, unlike other directors who shot this way and that way and then chose from them. Otherwise, it would take at least a year to finish shooting.

"Oh……"

When they heard the word "wrap up", everyone cheered.

"Finally, the filming is finished. I have to go back and have a good rest."

"Of course. I've seen enough mountains and rivers along the way. Now I just want to lie down at home, drink tea and watch TV."

Huang Ze looked over in the direction of the voice and saw two martial artists.

Well, I hope the sofa is still there when they go back home.

But three months should be fine.

Huang Ze couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Director Huang, when will our film be released in Hong Kong Island?" Li Lianjie came over and asked with a smile.

"I'm not sure about that." Huang Ze smiled and shook his head, "It should be released during the summer vacation next year."

"Next year's summer season?" Li Lianjie raised his eyebrows. This was not like Huang Ze's speed. Logically speaking, he should be able to catch up with the Lunar New Year season, right?
"Yes." Huang Ze nodded, "To be honest, I want to try to release this film in the United States first."

This is a film that goes against everyone's subconscious understanding of martial arts.

If it were made in Hong Kong Island, with Li Lianjie as the director and starring him, it might attract a group of people, but the final box office would probably be rather poor.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s ugly or not, but if it affects the distributors in the United States and makes them think that the film has no potential, then the loss will be huge.

It would be better to postpone the release.

It won’t be too late to try the North American market first and then release it in Hong Kong.

"Are you really going to the United States? I thought you were joking."

"Director Huang, do you think our film has a chance to get similar box office results to your last film Pulp Fiction?" As he said this, the corners of Li Lianjie's mouth began to rise uncontrollably, his eyes shining.

He had asked about it.

Pulp Fiction has been taken off the screen, with a final box office of $115 million.
Ranked seventh on the North American box office list last year!
If he had starred in this box office movie, he couldn't even imagine what kind of achievement he would have achieved.

I heard that some people in Hollywood can get more than 10 million US dollars for a film.

What if the box office can really break 100 million?

It shouldn't be a problem for him to get a few million, right?
"You're drooling." Huang Ze looked disgusted.

"Hmm?" Li Lianjie touched the corner of his mouth, "It didn't come out! Let me ask you, Director Huang, do you think we can get a similar box office?"

"What do you think?" Huang Ze didn't give an answer.

Because there is no way to give an answer.

"Is this something I can know?"

"If I really say I know, there is only one possibility."

"I am Jesus, Buddha, Mo."

Forget it, I won’t talk about Huang Ze. I can’t afford to offend him.

You can't even think about it.

Thinking is also a sin!

"Hehe, in fact, if it's really the 50 million that you told the reporters, it's more than enough."

"Then do you think it's possible?" Huang Ze used a trick of changing the situation and threw the question back to Li Lianjie.

Li Lianjie was completely stunned.

The whole person also returned to reality from fantasy,

He shook his head gently, "There is no precedent for this!"

"Okay, don't ask about that. The box office is determined by selling one movie ticket at a time. There's no point in worrying about that. Just focus on making the movie. If it really sells well, I'll tell you and you'll get the news."

"Ah." Li Lianjie nodded heavily.

Huang Ze no longer had the desire to chat with her, so he walked up to Ning Jing and asked, "Are you interested in signing with Xinghai?"

"Director Huang, other people sign contracts before they are given roles, but you are so weird. You signed contracts after we finished filming after we were given roles."

"Are you so confident that I will sign the contract?"

"That's how confident I am!" Huang Ze smiled.

In fact, it’s not about confidence, it’s about not caring.

If the other party is of the level of Li Lianjie or Jackie Chan, Huang Ze will definitely try his best to sign him, and sign him as long as possible.

The actress was not to the extent that Huang Ze felt he had to sign her.

It was just a spontaneous question. It would be good if the other party signed it, but if the other party was unwilling, Huang Ze would not feel any wavering.

"Will I be able to act every year in the future?" Ning Jing asked curiously.

"Of course."

"Then I'll sign it."

"Yes." The other party agreed, and Huang Ze handed the matter over to his subordinates.

……

The next day.

He asked the crew to return to Hong Kong Island first and start rough cutting according to the storyboards he drew. Huang Ze stayed at the Kunlun Hotel in Beijing, which had just opened for two years.

The preparation team for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms project has found the actors I nominated, and they will audition tomorrow. They have also invited me.

Anyway, you don't need to miss a day or two, so just stay a few more days.

However, what Huang Ze did not expect was that not long after he settled in, the mobile phone he used in China started to ring.

When I picked up the phone, a young woman's voice came from the other end, "Director Huang, guess who I am?"

"Diao Chan?"

"Haha, thank you Director Huang for recommending me to the crew. Even though it's just an audition opportunity, I really appreciate it."

"By the way, Director Huang, are you still in Beijing? Can I treat you to a meal?"
