As a result, Mr. Ge You and Emperor Entertainment have failed in every film they made over the years.

Spend the most money.

The most severe beating.

Boss Yang is feeling uncomfortable.

It is no exaggeration to say that Boss Yang is now close to giving up the entertainment industry.

He has lost confidence and just wants to survive.

In Boss Yang's mind, there is no hope for at least the entertainment industry to become bigger and stronger.

It’s better to try in other fields.

Of course, if you want to survive, you have to be able to breathe.

Boss Yang still wanted to struggle.

Moreover, Boss Yang also needs Director Wei's help in other areas.

During dinner in the evening, Boss Yang brought Mr. Ge You along.

And a guest Director Wei hadn't expected: "Sister Hong?"

Chen Hong shook hands with Director Wei and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is it strange?"

Director Wei nodded.

"Yes, a little bit. Why did Sister Hong come to Hong Kong?"

"rest."

Chen Hong said calmly: "I just happened to have an appointment with Teacher Ge for dinner, and then Teacher Ge said that he and Boss Yang had an appointment tonight, and it was you.

I thought, since we're all acquaintances, Director Wei wouldn't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"

"of course not."

Director Wei blinked and guessed Chen Hong's real intention.

Speaking of which, Director Wei and Chen Hong have rarely met since the release of "A Family of Loyal Heroes 2".

However, Chen Hong made a private appointment with Director Wei.

The purpose is the same as Michelle Reis.

Ask for medicine.

Wang Zuxian's condition really amazed many women in the circle and they couldn't sit still.

It’s a pity that Director Wei is too busy.

And Director Wei has too many choices.

So it was difficult for Director Wei to take Chen Hong's small request to heart. Now it seems that Chen Hong had not forgotten what Director Wei had forgotten.

Moreover, I can't sit still anymore.

After all, after Joey Wong, Michelle Reis also made it.

The competitive spirit among women, especially among beautiful women, is something Director Wei cannot imagine.

And if a woman who was once very beautiful faces a situation where she may return to her former beauty, her ability to act will be beyond the reach of Director Wei.

Of course, in front of a group of people, Chen Hong certainly couldn't tell her real purpose.

So she just exchanged a few pleasantries with Director Wei.

During the entire dinner, not even Ge You was as enthusiastic towards Director Wei.

Boss Yang invited Ge You to have dinner with Director Wei, and Director Wei understood what he meant.

However, Director Wei did not give face to Boss Yang and Ge You's implicit request and chose to reject it on the spot.

"Teacher Ge, Boss Yang, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's just that the temperament of the drama that Teacher Ge You and I are filming now doesn't match."

Director Wei shook his head and said, "Mr. Ge You is not suitable for Hong Kong films. In fact, I don't quite understand why Mr. Yang wants to sign Mr. Ge You, nor do I understand why Mr. Ge You wants to sign with Emperor Entertainment Group. You are completely incompatible."

"Teacher Ge, Boss Yang, it's not that I'm unreasonable, it's just that the temperament of the drama that Teacher Ge You and I are filming now doesn't match."

Director Wei shook his head and said, "Mr. Ge You is not suitable for Hong Kong films. In fact, I don't quite understand why Mr. Yang wants to sign Mr. Ge You, nor do I understand why Mr. Ge You wants to sign with Emperor Entertainment Group. You are completely incompatible."

Again, don’t think of many practitioners in the industry as being very professional.

Almost all audiences know that Ge You is famous for his Feng-style comedies.

Most of the starring roles are minor characters.

However, even audiences in many southern regions of mainland China fail to get the funny parts of Feng's comedies.

What’s more, it’s Hong Kong?

There is no leading actor like Ge You in Hong Kong movies.

The temperaments of the two sides are incompatible.

It is a consensus among almost all the audiences that Ge You and Emperor Entertainment are getting together. If I have to give an example, it is like a drama that one day insists on having Liu Yifei and Baoqiang play the male and female protagonists and fall in love and get married.

It's not that the two of them are bad.

But when these two people stand together, they look very out of place.

If you force them to be together, it will definitely fail.

Director Wei also didn’t quite understand why Boss Yang and Mr. Ge You didn’t believe in evil.

In response to Director Wei's question, Boss Yang and Mr. Ge You could only smile bitterly.

Boss Yang: "Director Wei, we at Emperor Entertainment Group have delayed Mr. Ge You, so we were hoping you could help him out, weren't we?"

Director Wei shook his head and said, "I can't help you now. 'Red Strongman' is a Hong Kong-style film. The impression that Mr. Ge You has on the audience is incompatible with Hong Kong films."

Boss Yang said, "Aren't there mainland roles that require mainland actors to guest star?"

Director Wei said: "Those mainland characters in the script are all political figures who decide the fate of Hong Kong and play games with the Western world.

Boss Yang, do you really think Mr. Ge You is suitable to play the boss?

Boss Yang was speechless.

Mr. Ge You could only smile bitterly.

He has played some big shots.

Written as "Night Banquet", read as "Thunderstorm".

Ge You plays an anti-king who plots to usurp the throne and harm his sister-in-law.

And then he almost lost his reputation in his later years.

You have to admit that actors have limitations, and not all good actors can play every role.

No matter how good Baoqiang's acting skills are, he can't play the kind of handsome young man who is famous in the world.

No matter how popular Liu Yifei is, she cannot play the role of a down-to-earth rural woman.

Even actors as talented as Zhou Xun and Zhang Ziyi would be ridiculed if they were forced to play the role of an 18-year-old girl.

Of course, Ge You's acting skills and audience appeal are undoubtedly good.

But Ge You really can't play a political leader who can control the fate of a country.

This has nothing to do with acting.

It has to do with one’s own image and temperament.

There is no need for actors to force the long-established notions in the minds of the audience, because forcing is useless.

Director Wei is even less interested in exploring characteristics that have never been shown to the audience or the actors before.

Are you kidding me?

I invested hundreds of millions just to discover the hidden qualities in you?

Do you think this is just playing house?

A play with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars will make at least thousands of people's livelihoods and can affect the fate of at least hundreds of people in the industry.

This is not a game.

Reality only seeks safety.

Director Wei is not short of money, and he won't spend hundreds of millions of dollars for fun.

It was not difficult to get Shen Teng to act in a serious drama before, because comedians generally have no problem acting in serious dramas, and all comedy masters are basically at the level of movie emperors, and their basic skill is to be both serious and humorous.

But the difficulty in getting Ge You to play a political bigwig is that S-level director Wei and Ge You are not relatives.

He certainly wouldn't use his own plays to help Ge You explore the boundaries of his acting career.

After Director Wei said this, Boss Yang and Mr. Ge You had no choice but to give up.

Fortunately, Director Wei is also being realistic.

With Director Wei's position, Boss Yang and Mr. Ge You did not dare to lose their temper easily. They only dared to be realistic with Director Wei.

So as long as they seek truth from facts, they will know that Director Wei is telling the truth.

I dare not get angry.

I can only secretly lament it.

Then Boss Yang revealed his true intentions.

"Director Wei, does the play 'Red Top Merchant' need investment?"

Director Wei smiled: "What do you think?"

Boss Yang didn't dare to say it.

He could only toast Director Wei with a glass of wine, and then said, "Director Wei, give me a portion of your investment share. I will remember this favor."

Director Wei reminded him, “Of course it’s okay to give a favor, but I didn’t make this movie to make money.

But Boss Yang should be mentally prepared. This drama has a huge investment, so even if it becomes a hit, the returns won’t be very high.”

At least it wouldn't catch the eye of a wealthy guy like Boss Yang.

In order to prevent such a big shot from owing him a favor, Director Wei made things clear in advance, and to prevent Boss Yang from feeling cheated afterwards.

Boss Yang nodded and said, "I know this. I want to establish a relationship with the Huo family."

"Ok?"

Director Wei was a little surprised.

Boss Yang explained, "Emperor Entertainment has a need in another area that requires the help of the Huo family. I lack a pretext, so I hope Director Wei can create an opportunity for me to have a deeper connection with the Huo family."

Director Wei asked, "Boss Yang should know Mr. Huo, right?"

They are all from the Hong Kong circle, and Director Wei doesn't think they don't know each other.

Boss Yang said, "Mr. Huo is not good enough, he doesn't care about business matters.

Director Wei, you don't need to get too deep into this. Just give me some investment space and I can handle the rest myself. I just need a starting point."

Director Wei seemed to be thinking: "Boss Yang, you don't have any conflicts with the Huo family, do you?"

So I need to translate it?

Paying protection money through "Red-topped Businessman"?

Money laundering in a new era?

Or transfer of benefits?

Boss Yang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's not that exaggerated. Director Wei, I have always abided by the law in doing business."

Director Wei almost believed a tycoon with a net worth of over 10 billion yuan. Is it possible for him to abide by the law when doing business?

Director Wei has never met anyone other than himself.

Director Wei knew what Boss Yang wanted, but he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said, "Boss Yang, let me talk to the Huo family.

If they don’t mind, I don’t mind either.”

"It should."
