Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 268 Reactions from all parties
"Silk……"

Wenjun saw some newspapers criticizing the Hong Kong Film Awards. He was angry at first, and then he felt a burning sensation on his face.

This……

How could this be?
Why is this happening? Why is this happening!

Shouldn't I not give you the award? You've made breakthroughs time and time again and given us enough face, so should I give you the award?
I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you anymore?

It's just that you came from the mainland at that time and were still so young. We just wanted to give you some time to sharpen your skills. This is also for your own good.

How could you be so unsportsmanlike that you didn't come later?

It would have been fine if he hadn't come, but he actually jumped to another Academy Awards and is doing very well.

You're making it very difficult for us to deal with this!
Wenjun touched his face and really didn't know what to do.

At first, only Huang Ze’s films did not participate in the Academy Awards.

Fortunately, there is only one movie a year.

It doesn't matter whether he is there or not.

Later, he stopped participating in Zhang Jianya's films, which was acceptable. Anyway, that guy only made horror films, so even if he participated, he would not be able to win any awards.

But gradually, the taste became more and more wrong!

It seems that the entire Star Ocean movie is not coming.

Last year, there were two films that grossed over 40 million yuan, and they were also the only two films that grossed over 30 million yuan. One was called "God of Gamblers" and the other was called "Casino Tycoon".

But what’s strange is that no one is applying for the Academy Awards this year.

Oh, and there's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

There are three conditions for participating in the Academy Awards: choose two: the director is from Hong Kong, there is investment from a Hong Kong company, and a certain number of Hong Kong people participate in related positions.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" met the last two conditions, but it was not reported, and yet it made such big news at another Academy Awards.

If this continues again and again, how can the Academy Awards retain its reputation?

If this continues, it will not be good for Hong Kong films.

but……

"What else can we do?"

Wenjun found that he and Huangze couldn't communicate at all.

He is now among the wealthy class, with cinemas, television stations, records, and the entire entertainment industry about to take shape.

If I look for other people, let's not talk about those who I can talk to or are on the same level as me. I don't know them well and they are not on the same level as me. Why would they spend so much time to do me a favor? I might even offend Huang Ze.

After thinking it over, he could only call Liu Zhenwei, thinking that the other party was the general manager of Xinghai Film and Television after all, and should be able to have some say.

After the call was connected, he started talking about all sorts of things, like how the Academy Awards were related to the development of Hong Kong films and the future of Chinese-language films, etc.

In short, can we talk to Mr. Huang and ask him to sign up for the Academy Awards? We will definitely give him the grand prize this time.

Mr. Liu, for the sake of the credibility of Hong Kong Island’s only film award, and as a fellow Hong Kong filmmaker, please lend a hand.

"It's impossible. Mr. Huang will never participate in the Hong Kong Film Awards again. This is not something I can change. Don't make it difficult for me. Stop talking about this."

Liu Zhenwei hung up the phone with a snap, feeling very indignant.

"How dare you talk to me about Chinese-language films?"

"The demand for movies from 1.2 billion viewers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is borne by Mr. Huang."

"It's not your turn to say what the future of Chinese-language films will be!"

"What happened?" Liu Zhenwei's wife asked curiously when she saw her husband so angry.

"Wenjun from the Academy Awards wants me to persuade Mr. Huang to participate in the Academy Awards."

"But isn't that a bit too hurtful to him?"

"I'm hurt..."

There was someone who was more anxious than Wenjun after hearing the news. At least the Academy Award was not Wenjun's.

But Huang Ze's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" performed too well, especially since the leading actor was Li Lianjie, who was the closest to him in the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian film circles.

This made Jackie Chan, who was resting at home, very angry.

According to a friend I know in Hollywood, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has received so many nominations that it will definitely boost its box office, and it may even make over 100 million in North America!

He’s the leading actor in a North American movie that grossed over 100 million dollars!

We still don’t know how our global influence will increase.

He can just kick himself into the Mariana Trench with a shadowless kick.

No wonder some newspapers said that the world's number one Chinese actor is about to be replaced.

He also felt that his position was not secure. He said he was the world's number one. If someone asked him how much his North American box office was, how would he answer? Less than 100 million? The exact amount was 80 million.

Monetary unit.

Hong Kong dollars.

How can we chat about this?

"This can't go on like this!"

Jackie Chan took a deep breath and found his godfather in person.

"Godfather, have you heard about that?"

"I know what you are going to say." He Guanchang took a sip of water and nodded slightly, but he didn't know what to say in his heart.

The young people nowadays are so amazing!
It is amazing that a martial arts film could get such a high box office in North America and receive so many nominations at the Oscars.

Even though they had had a few unhappy meetings before, he still admired her very much as a filmmaker.

I am fortunate to have the opportunity to see such a Chinese-language filmmaker in my lifetime.

At the same time, he also knew that Golden Harvest could no longer hold on to Jackie Chan.

Huang Ze has proven his ability to turn decay into magic.

If this continues, Jackie Chan might be left behind by Li Lianjie. No, he has already been left behind.

If this trend continues, the result will not be good for either himself or Jackie Chan. It will be a complete lose-lose situation, and Golden Harvest will lose twice.

Even Jackie Chan couldn't stand it and chose to leave. Golden Harvest lost three times.

Take another sip of water, He Guanchang said with difficulty.

"You have a good relationship with him, so just find a chance to talk to him."

"I think he will ask for a higher price, three films, four films, you can agree to it. Apart from him, I'm afraid no one else has the ability to bring you into Hollywood. Since he is the only one, we have no choice but to accept it."

"You should work hard and try to get into Hollywood. You have the talent and potential."

"Yes, okay, godfather."

Jackie Chan accepted the offer without even a second thought.

I had the chance to work with Huang Ze twice before, but I chose to refuse for the sake of my godfather and Jiahe. I have done the most I can.

Jiahe helped me a lot, but I earned more money for Jiahe.

Since you can't keep up with me, you can't stop me from pursuing a better self!
After leaving his godfather's place, Jackie Chan couldn't wait to call Huang Ze while they were working together on "Ruan Lingyu" to discuss the collaboration and congratulate Huang Ze on the huge success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America.

In the end, although he felt that it was too hasty to speak so hastily, which was not a good thing, and that it was not a good deal to rush for it, but thinking that Li Lianjie was about to break the 100 million box office in North America, he could not care less.

If you hesitate any longer, the daylily will get cold.

He opened his mouth and said, "Director Huang, is there a movie that's suitable for me? How about we work together? I can directly sign a three-movie contract with Xinghai."
