Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 293: Angry

Well, let’s have another Taiwanese. Let’s temporarily name the other one Yang Dechang.

If you want to be as cool as possible, then do it to the fullest.

In Hong Kong Island, the most familiar one is Wang Rixiang. In addition, they are all directors, so it seems that there should be two more actors.

One from Hollywood, the other from Hong Kong.

The one from Hong Kong Island is Jackie Chan.

In Hollywood, Jennifer is not cool enough, so John Travolta is the one. After all, these two films entered the top ten of the North American box office last year.

And because of its own reasons, "Pulp Fiction" has enough influence in the Chinese-language film circle.

"Bingo, we got seven people just like that!"

The patient felt that there should be no major problems with the six people other than himself.

After all, there won’t be any large-scale screenings in the first session. We’ll just find a theater in the cinema chain, show each movie one or two times, and hold an awards ceremony.

And they only need to choose various awards from less than fifteen movies.

It wouldn't take a week.

As long as the film is not being shot and their absence for one day would be a great loss, or as long as the post-production is very tight on time, these people should not refuse my invitation.

Of course, speculation is always speculation. In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the first film festival, Huang Ze personally called the six people and booked their time in early April.

Call the two people in Hong Kong Island first.

Wang Rixiang is very shrewd and of course he would not offend Huang Ze.

Jackie Chan said that he might be filming at that time, but he still wanted to cooperate with Huang Ze on a movie and then impact the North American market. Now Huang Ze is the only director he can count on. He immediately said that even if he was filming, he would definitely make time to participate, giving Huang Ze enough face.

The two directors Wanwan are old acquaintances, and Huang Ze later became the financier of their film, so they agreed very readily. John Travolta said that he treated it as a trip and also wanted to get closer to Huang Ze.

A director who is on the rise in Hollywood should always be given face.

Finally, he called Zhang Yimou, who was filming in the village and the communication conditions were not good.

"What, you want to organize a film festival?"

Zhang Yimou was babbling and didn't know what to say.

I know that Huang Ze is rich, and I also know that Huang Ze is arguably the most famous Chinese-language film director.

But jumping all of a sudden to organizing a film festival still somewhat challenged his cognition.

In his habitual understanding, "Aren't film festivals organized by relevant organizations?"

"I did it in Hong Kong Island, no one cares. Besides, wasn't the Hong Kong Film Awards originally started by a "Film Biweekly"? It doesn't make sense that I can't touch what a monk touches."

"Just tell me if you have time, and whether "Qiu Ju Goes to Court" can be finished by then!"

Huang Ze didn't even ask the other party whether he would come or not.

He's from my company and he's also an old classmate from the same class. Would it be embarrassing not to come?

"I couldn't understand it at the moment." Zhang Yimou smiled.

"I will definitely be able to finish filming by early April next year, and I will definitely come over to support you then!"

"Then I wish you a smooth filming!"

"It will definitely go smoothly. You give me so much money, it's impossible for it not to go smoothly." Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou couldn't help but laugh.

Think about the careful budgeting of hundreds of thousands of dollars when filming Red Sorghum.

Let’s look at this time. We rented the best cameras, we could use whatever brand of film we wanted, we could shoot as many times as we wanted, and the quality of the lunch boxes was even higher. Even with this, the budget approved by Huang Ze could not be spent at all!
This made him feel inexplicably at ease.

I also feel that my choice was right.

I can finally concentrate on making movies without any distractions.
I wonder how many directors dream of this but cannot get it!

"Okay, take good pictures, and then we'll go to Venice again!" "We'll go to Venice again!"

After repeating this sentence, the two hung up the phone tacitly.

……

There are no secrets in the entertainment industry.

Especially the Hong Kong entertainment circle, the circle is too small.

Huang Ze decided to organize a film festival. He contacted directors and looked for relevant people to set up a film selection committee, which reminded him of the conflict between Huang Ze and the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Everyone immediately understood what Huang Ze was going to do.

He wants to set up a film festival to compete with the Hong Kong Film Awards!

Soon, the news reached Wen Jun of "Film Biweekly".

After hearing the news, he called Liu Zhenwei, whom he knew well, to test the waters. He then realized that this was true!

For a moment, he felt himself trembling with anger!

Chilling!
No wonder I was unwilling to attend the Academy Awards in person again.

It turns out you wanted to dig up the roots of the Hong Kong Film Awards!
How could you do this?
Simply, simply...

"Bang!" Wen Jun slammed the table in anger. The table was intact, but his hand felt a burning pain.

The pain was also stimulating his brain.

He knew that it was inevitable.

This matter has spread throughout the circle, and Huang Ze will not take back this idea no matter what, otherwise others will look down on him.

The only option now is to fight with Huang Ze!

The Academy Awards have been held for ten years. If they really fight it out, it is still unknown who will win!
Of course, he would not just sit and wait for a direct confrontation next year. Anxiously, he immediately called other people from the Academy Awards Organizing Committee and asked them to contact their familiar filmmakers to boycott the new film festival that Huang Ze is about to hold next year. We absolutely cannot let someone from the mainland ruin our Hong Kong Film Festival!

Made one round of calls, then a second round.

This time, he was looking for people with whom he had a decent relationship.

But after the fight, he discovered the problem.

Basically, few filmmakers are willing to promise that they will definitely not attend the film festival organized by Huang Zexin, and they are all vague about it.

At the end of the fight, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The gap is too big!"

"After all, it's just a film festival. It can't bring huge benefits to films like the three major ones and the Oscars."

"Compared to the benefits Huang Ze brought to those people..."

"Ugh!"

Huang Ze owns a cinema chain. Xinghai Film Company only makes high-quality films, and many schedules will be vacated for other film companies. Those who don’t work in the film industry would choose to offend the cinema chain.

If the movie can't be shown in Xinghai Cinemas by then, can you, Wenjun, contact the cinema for me? Or give me some extra money?

This is not something he can do.

It doesn't make sense to win over smaller actors, not to mention the more famous ones. They all want to cooperate with Xinghai, or take advantage of Huang Ze's momentum and go to Hollywood.

Of course, I don’t want to offend Huang Ze just for the Academy Awards.

In order not to offend either party, why not participate in both film festivals?

If you insist that I only participate in your Hong Kong Film Awards, then you are ruining my future. They are my enemies, so isn't it reasonable for me not to participate?
