Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

"I see. Don't worry, I'll give you my full support in terms of production and cast. Don't worry about funding; is 50 million enough?"

"puff!"

Another capable man, You Naihai, spat out a mouthful of beer.

Then I choked.

Did they hear me right?

5000?

"Of course, it's Hong Kong dollars."

Tang Jinshan corrected.

No one else listened to his corrections; they were already stunned into silence.

5000 million!

When have they ever fought such a rich war?

I can't figure out how to spend so much money.

……

Tang Jinshan does not interfere with the script.

Regarding the actors, he inquired about their salaries.

The highest tier is the group of Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, and Chow Yun-fat.

Next up is Andy Lau, probably 500 to 700 million.

Leslie Cheung, 400 to 500 million.

Li Ming, 350 million to 450 million.

Tony Leung, 300 to 400 million.

Aaron Kwok's salary is three to four million, and Ekin Cheng's is two to three million, but their salaries will increase significantly after filming "The Storm Riders".

It should be released soon.

Among female celebrities, Michelle Yeoh is the most expensive, ranging from 300 to 500 million.

She just finished filming "Tomorrow Never Dies" last year.

A trip to Hollywood naturally changes one's net worth.

This includes endorsements, commercial performances, and so on.

The same applies to mainland Chinese celebrities.

Even without mentioning Hollywood, just coming to Hong Kong to gain some exposure can significantly increase one's net worth.

Then there's Anita Mui, priced between 250 million and 400 million, and Zhang Manyu, priced between 200 million and 350 million, which is a lower tier.

Rosamund Kwan and Chingmy Yau: 100 million to 200 million; Li Jiaxin: 100 million to 150 million...

However, the two female characters in "True Hero" have very little screen time, less than the average supporting actress.

The pay isn't that high.

Tang Jinshan was only worried about not being able to spend his money; the more expensive the better.

Andy Lau released the song "Chinese" last year as part of his comeback, which was met with criticism and boycotts from many people in Hong Kong.

Production has been reduced.

I finished filming "Black Gold" last year, but I haven't joined any new productions yet.

Please invite him!

The maximum salary is capped at 700 million!

If it's not enough, you can pay more!

Then Tang Jinshan waved his hand and directly named Li Ming, Guan Zhilin, and Li Jiaxin.

The Milkyway Image team stared at the list of main creators in silence for a long time.

Firstly, Andy Lau and Lai Ming don't get along, and the two rarely appear on stage together.

Then Li Ming and Li Jiaxin worked together and were even rumored to be dating.

Andy Lau and Li Jiaxin have collaborated quite a few times.

Not to mention Rosamund Kwan, who has collaborated with Andy Lau multiple times.

When they're all together, it's practically a battleground.

They can all imagine how amazing a movie these people would make!

However, since the client has spoken, they can only try their best to comply.

Liu Dehua readily agreed.

He even suggested that Milkyway Image didn't have enough money and that his salary could be reduced.

Although she had a falling out with Johnnie To during the filming of "A Moment of Romance", they reconciled long ago.

In the first year of Milkyway Image's establishment, he also starred in "A Moment of Romance III".

It must be said that he was extremely adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.

When Li Ming learned that Andy Lau was joining the team, he immediately refused.

Tang Jinshan wanted to invite Leslie Cheung, but then learned that he also had a grudge against Andy Lau.

When filming "New Shanghai Bund", they called him a baka (idiot).

Later, in "Happy Together," Andy Lau's role was also replaced.

It is said that Leslie Cheung made three phone calls before he died, one of which was to Andy Lau, but he did not answer.

Of course, no one expected him to commit suicide at that time.

Let's switch to Tony Leung. He just collaborated with Milkyway Image on "The Longest Nite" last year.

Tony Leung gladly accepted the invitation.

Tang Jinshan offered him a salary of 400 million yuan.

As for the female leads, Rosamund Kwan and Li Jiaxin have both joined the cast.

They had few scenes, and were paid 100 million and 80 respectively.

Tang Jinshan didn't charge too much of a premium; he honestly paid the market price.

Because the system has an evaluation mechanism to determine the authenticity of the cost.

A will receive a 10-fold refund for any losses incurred.

B, losses will be returned in five times the amount.

C, losses will be returned at twice the amount.

Ding, losses will be returned at 0 times the amount.

Otherwise, he could make a short film himself, taking on all the roles himself, including director, screenwriter, lead actor, editor, and producer, and then demanding a salary of 100 million for each position, before pulling it from theaters after three days.

Repeated actions like this could cause the global financial system to collapse.

This mechanism is to prevent him from acting recklessly.

The salaries of the four actors alone amounted to 1280 million yuan, which was higher than the original cost of the entire film.

This doesn't even include the salaries of the other supporting actors and the production team.

Tang Jinshan also asked Du Qifeng to put in a lot of effort in production, as he wanted to create a high-quality product.

Money has never been a problem.

We need to create a big spectacle: gunfights, car chases, explosions...

As long as the money is spent wisely, that's fine.

The Milkyway Image team had already been electrocuted time and time again.

This investor is incredibly generous!

Many times they wondered if they were dreaming.

But every time I wake up, it feels so real!

Tang Jinshan is right here in front of me.

Now, the most important thing is to seize the opportunity and make the movie!

The media outlets that received the news were in an uproar.

The collaboration between Andy Lau and Tony Leung was already quite remarkable, and Rosamund Kwan and Michelle Reis are both hailed as the most beautiful women in Hong Kong.

Now that they've all come together, it's so lively!

Add to that Tang Jinshan, a mysterious tycoon who returned from overseas and spends money like water.

The topic has already been thoroughly discussed.

Money makes the world go round, and the production team and other actors were quickly finalized.

They even brought in Won Bin as the action director.

Needless to say, in terms of stunts and explosions.

The team is extremely strong, and the funds are very abundant.

Since its inception, Milkyway Image has never produced such a large-scale production.

I wonder how many people are envious, jealous, and resentful of him.

Everyone gathered for an internal dinner.

Tang Jinshan booked a large private room at the restaurant.

He couldn't use the initial capital for the system, but he had $30 from selling his assets in America.

If I bring it back and convert it, two million will last me a long time.

Besides renting a Ferrari F40, he also stayed at the Peninsula Hotel.

He was always impeccably dressed and indulged in lavish meals.

There's no way around it; I have to maintain the persona of someone who's naive and rich.

He also suffered from living behind a mask.

Some of them had already met, but everyone still greeted each other warmly at the banquet.

At the main table, Tang Jinshan sat in the center, along with Du Qifeng, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Rosamund Kwan, Li Jiaxin, and others.

"Boss, let me toast you to thank you for your great support."

Liu Dehua raised his glass and stood up.

"I am honored to be able to work with so many big stars like you."

Tang Jinshan is very modest.

"Boss, I'd like to propose a toast to you too."

Tony Leung followed suit.

"Boss, I salute you! With you on board, this movie is guaranteed to be a box office hit!"

Rosamund Kwan said something inappropriate.

Looking into their eager eyes, Tang Jinshan quickly became lost in the repeated calls of "boss".

"Boss, you're young and promising. Are you planning to go back to Hong Kong for a vacation, or are you planning to settle down and start a business here?"

Li Jiaxin took the initiative to sit next to Tang Jinshan.

She held up her wine glass, her gaze intense.

The sugar daddy in front of me is not only young and rich, but also so handsome!

She has even more star quality than Andy Lau.

He's also taller than Andy Lau and Tony Leung, probably around 1.8 meters.

I heard he's only 18 years old.

He spends money like water at such a young age; I wonder which wealthy family he comes from?

Just take those claims about making money through stock trading with a grain of salt.

Li Jiaxin asked a question, and everyone else turned to look.

Clearly, this is also the question they want to know.

"I've already renounced my citizenship and returned home, so of course I'll return to my roots and start a business in my motherland!"

Tang Jinshan laughed.
