I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Xu Xiaoming also conveys patriotism through his works, such as promoting martial arts and national integrity in "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" and "Chen Zhen".

This also allowed him to get to know a group of people in mainland China. It can be said that when it comes to connections in mainland China, no one in the Hong Kong entertainment industry can compare to him.

Xu Xiaoming was very interested when he heard Hong Jinbao's words, and said, "I can give it a try. After filming 'Twins Heist', I will go to the mainland."

"What are you going to the mainland for?" Hong Jinbao asked, frowning.

"Hong Kong is too small, and there are also reasons such as environment and creative experience. If we want to make a patriotic film, we can only find people to collaborate with on the mainland," Xu Xiaoming said.

Most people in Hong Kong grow up in Hong Kong's unique social culture, and their creative work tends to focus on commercial genre films, which emphasize individual heroism and dramatic conflict.

Mainstream films typically need to express grand narratives such as national sentiment and collectivism. Hong Kong directors may lack personal experience and emotional resonance with these themes, making it difficult for anyone to direct a mainstream film.

In addition, patriotic films often involve large-scale scene scheduling, collaboration of thousands of people, and cross-departmental resource integration. Hong Kong's film industry is relatively small, and directors have few opportunities to be involved in such large-scale productions. Therefore, the films of this type produced in Hong Kong are basically small-scale.

Xu Xiaoming was aware of this, so it was unlikely that he could make a patriotic film in Hong Kong; he had to find someone on the mainland to collaborate with.

“We can use mainland staff, but the lead actors must be Hong Kong actors,” Hong Jinbao said in a deep voice.

Although Hong Jinbao understood this, he still preferred the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"Ah."

Xu Xiaoming did not object to this, because most of the film and television works co-produced with the mainland use Hong Kong actors as the male and female leads, while mainland actors play supporting roles.

Hearing their conversation, Wu Jing was also moved and thought to herself, "It seems that I need to re-plan my future. No matter how hard I try in Hong Kong, it will be difficult to become a leading actor. If I go back to the mainland, the stage may be broader."

……

Tangren Media Company.

Hu Ge arrived at the company early in the morning and was immediately called over by Cai Yinong.

"Brother Hu, your chance has come."

Upon seeing Brother Hu, Cai Yinong exclaimed excitedly.

"Boss, you've confused me. What opportunity is coming?"

Brother Hu scratched his head, puzzled.

"Hehe, Zhang Mian, didn't you tell Hu Ge?"

Cai Yinong looked at Brother Hu's agent and said.

Zhang Mian smiled and said, "I just wanted to surprise him!"

Hu Ge was confused by what the two men were saying.

"Brother Hu, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I just received a notification from Shengli Film and Television Company. They have a film and they want you to be the male lead," Cai Yinong said with a smile.

watt!

Brother Hu stared in shock.

Victory Film and Television Company is Cheng Sheng's company.

They want me to be the male lead?

A big pie fell from the sky!
It's worth noting that Shengli Film Company produces wildly popular films and television series.

Starring in a film produced by Victory Film Company not only guarantees fame, but also the possibility of winning Best Actor awards at one of the three major European film festivals—a true win-win situation for both fame and fortune.

The TV series produced by Shengli Film & Television are really awesome.

Several idol dramas broke domestic viewership records and were even sold all over the world.

Especially in Southeast Asia, Victory Film Company's idol dramas have broken local viewership records and made the actors the most popular artists in the region.

"Boss, are they asking me to make a movie or a TV series?" Brother Hu asked, his lips trembling.

Tangren Media has always focused on television dramas. They have a clear vision for themselves, specializing in period dramas and youth idol dramas, which is why they put so much effort into television series. This has led them to neglect investment in films.

As Tangren Media's top star, Hu Ge has already achieved great success in television dramas and has long wanted to make movies, but he also knows the situation of Tangren Media.

“No, it’s a TV show.”

Hu Ge was a little disappointed by Cai Yinong's answer, but he still composed himself and asked, "Is it an idol drama?"

The TV series produced by Shengli Film and Television Company are all idol dramas, which is why Brother Hu thinks that way.

"A political intrigue drama."

"A political intrigue drama!"

Brother Hu frowned. This type of subject matter was not easy to film, and he had never filmed it before. He felt a little uneasy.

However, this also tempted him a bit, since he had always filmed period dramas and youth dramas, and had long wanted to try a different genre.

Now is a good opportunity.

"So? Interested? If not, I can help you reject Victory Film Company," Cai Yinong teased.

Such a great opportunity for everyone, only a fool would refuse it.

"Boss, I agree," Brother Hu blurted out.

“In that case, you should go to Kyoto tomorrow,” Cai Yinong said.

What are you going to Kyoto for?

Brother Hu was a little puzzled.

“Old Hu, of course we’re going to sign the contract,” Zhang Mian said, patting him on the shoulder.

"I've forgotten all about it," Brother Hu said awkwardly, slapping his forehead.

Since you've agreed to take the role, you definitely need to sign a contract.

"Oh, right, let's invite Qiao Shan too. Cheng Sheng also arranged a role for him in that drama," Cai Yinong said.

As a friend of Cheng Sheng, Qiao Shan was signed to Tangren Company by Cheng Sheng, but Cheng Sheng always took care of Qiao Shan. Basically, if Shengli Film and Television had a suitable role, he would directly contact Qiao Shan.

To be honest, Qiao Shan isn't an employee of Shengli Film and Television Company, but he has more resources than the artists under the company.

Almost every production by Shengli Film Company features Qiao Shan, though he may not be the lead, he is always a supporting character.

"I really envy this guy. He doesn't have to do anything, and people automatically ask him to act," Brother Hu joked.

"Who told him to have Cheng Sheng as a powerful backer? It's also because Cheng Sheng didn't start his own company before, otherwise Qiao Shan wouldn't have signed with our Tangren," Cai Yinong said.

“Boss, it’s all thanks to Qiao Shan signing with Tangren Media, otherwise our Tangren artists wouldn’t have had so many opportunities,” Zhang Mian said.

That's true.

Cheng Sheng has always remembered Tangren's help, so whenever Shengli Film Company has resources, Cheng Sheng will always look out for Tangren.

Take Cheng Sheng's movies for example. All the artists under Tangren Media appeared in them. Although they weren't the main characters, even a small supporting role was enough to satisfy Tangren Media.

After all, there are many actors who want to appear in Cheng Sheng's movies but don't even have the opportunity!
the next day.

Brother Hu, Qiao Shan, and Zhang Mian arrived at Shengli Film and Television Company together.

Xing Aina had two contracts prepared and gave them to Brother Hu and Qiao Shan.

After the two signed the contract, Cheng Sheng invited Qiao Shan and Brother Hu to have dinner together.

We arrived at the hotel's private room.

The three ate and chatted as the food was served. (End of Chapter)
