Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 329 What a great score
Brother Chen Kai felt a chill suddenly hit his heart.

I was underestimated by Huang Ze!

Otherwise, how would he dare to ask me to be the assistant director?
This clearly shows that you don't take me, Chen, seriously!

If he didn't need Huang Ze's help, he would have wanted to throw the phone away.

But he also knew that at this moment, he couldn't do such a thing, so he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and said, "I haven't been an assistant director for a long time. I'm worried that I'll cause trouble for you, my old classmate!"

"It doesn't matter if I don't do a good job, but if I delay your filming, it will be a serious sin."

"It's okay. I believe in your ability. I don't mind if there's a delay. The loss will be mine." Huang Ze really wanted Brother Chen Kai to be his assistant director.

Although people say that "Farewell My Concubine" was directed by his father, Huang Ze knows very well that his father's ability and talent are not at that level. However, it is true that his father helped him set up a plan and employed top domestic personnel in various positions of the crew.

At that time, Brother Chen Kai was not yet the famous director he would become in later generations. He was willing to listen to other people's opinions, and with his own talent, he created this Chinese classic.

If Brother Chen Kai were the assistant director, I would have less worries.

Anyway, after the film is made, everyone will only pay attention to the director. Who knows who the assistant director is? Huang Ze doesn't have to worry about being robbed of the credit. He won't be like Brother Chen Kai in his previous life, who was accused of making "Farewell My Concubine" someone else's work.

In today's film and television industry, I'm afraid no one is worthy of the title of directing their own films.

In that case, why not do it?
silence!

There was a long silence on the phone.

About a minute later, Brother Chen Kai on the other end of the phone spoke up, "Sorry, I'm not used to being an assistant director, so I may not be able to help you with this."

"Hi, it's okay!"

"I'll help you pay attention to the thing you mentioned."

"You also know that writing a script requires inspiration, and you also have to think of a story that is worthy of you. Once I have an inspiration, I will write it down as soon as possible and give it to you for investment!"

Huang Ze spoke well, but she was not prepared to write a script specifically for Brother Chen Kai.

What a big deal!
After Yimou won the Golden Bear, he was able to serve as my assistant director in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". You haven't won anything, but you're still taking advantage of your status.

Thinking back to the previous times in Beijing when this classmate claimed to be sick, Huang Ze became even more unhappy.

Since you are not willing to contribute anything, why should I put so much effort into helping you write the script?
Equivalent exchange is reasonable.

Now you want to get something for free, but it is absolutely impossible with me.

"Of course, you should also look for more suitable stories. If my script is not out yet and you have found a suitable script, you can also send me a copy and I can invest in you!"

Huang Ze is not willing to spend time and effort writing scripts, but if it comes to money, he can still invest as he has plenty of money now.

Brother Chen Kai has potential, but I don’t know when this potential will be destroyed by his arrogance.

"Okay, that's it. When you come to Beijing, call me and we can have dinner together."

"Sure, sure. I'll hang up first then." After saying that, Huang Ze hung up the phone.

After staring at the phone for a while, Huang Ze shook his head gently, and then couldn't help but curled the corners of his mouth.

It seems that Yimou Na Jinshi’s influence is still quite large!
At least I have been completely labeled as the mastermind behind this.

Otherwise, with Brother Chen Kai's arrogance, he wouldn't have come to me so humbly.

“Hehehe.” “This feeling is really good!”

Huang Ze put his legs on the table, feeling the wonderful experience for a while, and subconsciously began to think of the next plan in his head, and sorted out the things on hand in his mind.

My mother's toy factory and the VCD project that Duan Yongping made are both on track. I don't know much about it, so all I can do is provide some strategic advice. Especially for the latter, we have to wait for the finished product to be produced. Even if I care about it, I can't make it, so there's no need to waste my time.

The record company already has Mariah Carey as a money-making weapon, and the global record sales of his group Destiny's Child have recently exceeded 10 million, so it can be said that it has the initial ability to generate revenue and is developing steadily and positively. All he needs to do from time to time is pick out one or two copies of the written lyrics and music that are kept in the safe.

Not to mention the cinemas, Huang Ze doesn’t need to worry about that.

After thinking about it, Huang Ze found that the area he needed to worry about most was the film and television industry.

The script and storyboard of "Rush Hour" have been completed, and the crew has also been assembled. They are all old partners who have worked together for a long time. I can just be a half-hands-off boss and wait until everything is prepared and then I can just start shooting. This is not a big deal and I don't need to worry too much.

"Farewell My Concubine" does need to reorganize a team, but this team can use all the best players from the mainland, and use familiar people in some key positions. These people have to form their own team.

The other thing is to poach people to make an animated film. Well, this will require a lot of effort for the time being. I’m afraid it will take two or three months for us to even settle down, let alone get on the right track.

I have to make a film...

Huang Ze pinched his eyebrows.

In Hong Kong, Xinghai has its own cinema chain, and with the discovery of Stephen Chow, Xinghai Films is a stable company.

But rushing to North America by yourself is not enough after all!
Horror movies have to keep going.

"Final Destination" was released half a year ago, and now it's time to make the second part. It would be best if it could be released on Halloween next year. One year is enough time.

There is a one and a half year gap between the second and first films, which is also in line with the time interval between the release of sequels and the first films in Hollywood.

"I'll just mow the grass and hunt the rabbits, and that's it."

After Huang Ze finished drawing the main storyboards for "Farewell My Concubine", he immediately started writing "Final Destination 2".

But this time I'm not writing a script.

It takes nearly a week to write a script, but Huang Ze is too lazy to write it, and there is no need to do so.

The pattern of "Final Destination" is fixed. People who escape the disaster will always die one by one due to various accidents.

With the first film as a proof, everyone knows what the sequel will be like.

Huang Ze just made a rough outline and that was it.

Let Zhang Jianya go to Hollywood to find some screenwriters to expand these outlines.

When the time comes, you can take a look at the finished product and check it yourself.

Huang Ze picked up his pen and started writing.

The first part is about being discovered by plane, which, in Lao Mi's opinion, is a relatively common means of transportation.

The second part is naturally also common, that is, the high-speed highway that can be seen everywhere in the United States.

The heroine dreamed of a large-scale traffic accident caused by a truck carrying timber on the highway, and then she tried to stop it and saved a group of people.

By the way, we can link up with the heroine of the first film and let Jennifer Connelly make a friendly appearance...
