Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 369 The background of Xiangjiang movie is complicated

Having been in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry for so many years, Xu Shaoqiang has a deep knowledge of all aspects of it.

Like many senior practitioners who began to be unwilling to be exploited by traditional film companies and came out to work alone, he also prepared enough resources to become a producer.

However, in order to save money, Xu Shaoqiang had to take over the actor's role.

But because of this, he discovered an unexpected surprise, that is, Sydney who is the heroine.

Looking at the girl sitting across from her, she is pretty and lively, at the age of 17, she is extremely fresh and tender, especially since she is the younger sister of the popular star Mi Xue, it is even more imaginative.

Xu Shaoqiang secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, picked up his glass, and took a sip of beer in a disguised way.

The reason why the main members of the crew are sitting together today is that Xu Shaoqiang used the excuse of going to Thailand for filming, invited everyone out for dinner, and told them to be prepared, so that they would not be hindered by sudden situations in other places.

On the surface it was for business, but in fact only Xu Shaoqiang knew what he was thinking.

"Since Sydney can also go to Thailand at the same time, there is no problem in shooting." Xu Shaoqiang raised his wine glass and saluted everyone.

Sydney, who didn't realize that Xu Shaoqiang set up a run to prevent her from being able to go to Thailand, realized that she was so important to the crew, and her heart was bubbling with beauty, so she raised her glass and emphasized happily: "Of course I will You can decide to go to Thailand on your own, don’t worry, everyone.”

Seeing that Xu Shaoqiang kept talking to Sydney, the director Tang Weicheng, and actors Huang Jinshen, Qian Yuesheng, Chen Siying, Tang Tianxi, etc. all bid farewell one after another.

Unknowingly, only Xu Shaoqiang and Xueli were left at the dinner table.

"Brother Xu, the part of this movie that was filmed in Xiangjiang was very scary. After arriving in Thailand, it won't be more serious." Sydney, who had no intention of thinking, asked nervously.

"It's okay, I'm here, you'll be fine." Xu Shaoqiang patted his chest and assured boldly.

"That's true." Xue Li giggled and nodded in agreement, "Brother Xu, after the editing of this movie, it will definitely be more scary, and when it attracts countless audiences to watch, you can also make a fortune."

……

"I really didn't realize that this hero Yun is also a veteran of flowers." Yang Qinglin, who was sitting a little far away, who happened to be able to observe from a clever angle, looked at him and laughed jokingly.

"What to do, there are only two of them left now." The brothers, who were dealing with this kind of thing for the first time, couldn't help scratching their heads.

"Just stare at it like this, and wait for Datang to come." Yang Qinglin leisurely picked up a chicken leg and gnawed on it.

As a result, just halfway through the nibble, he saw Xue Li get up and go to the bathroom, while Xu Shaoqiang took the cup she had just used and started to fiddle with it.

"What kind of hobbies does this guy have, and he's too unhygienic." A brother looked at him with his head and muttered disdainfully.

"Could he be prescribing medicine?" Yang Qinglin threw away the chicken bone, wiped his hands, got up and walked over to take a look, and then came back laughing.

"What's the matter, Yang Zi, why are you so happy?" Another brother asked suspiciously.

"It's been a long time since I hit a bitch, this time I should be able to get what I want." Yang Qinglin smiled playfully.

……

Xu Shaoqiang originally planned to find an opportunity to start after arriving in Thailand, but now it seems that the opportunity is right in front of him.

Anyway, this little girl is very easy to coax, so eat it in your mouth as soon as possible and enjoy the delicious food as soon as possible.

Sydney, who didn't notice it, returned to his seat and continued to listen to Xu Shaoqiang bragging about his "great achievements", taking a sip from the cup from time to time.

Every time at this time, Xu Shaoqiang stopped talking and told with concern: "Drink slowly."

"Brother Xu, you're so annoying. He's not a child. If you want to nag like my sister, it's as annoying as my sister." Xue Li waved her little hand, coquettishly.

"It's for your own good too." Xu Shaoqiang begged for forgiveness by raising his hand, "Okay, I won't nag anymore."

After a while, Xue Li, who was excited to hear the story, suddenly yawned in a sharp contrast, and murmured while covering her forehead, "My head is so heavy."

"Are you feeling unwell, then I'll take you home." Xu Shaoqiang had a weird smile on his face.

……

"This guy is so sophisticated." Yang Qinglin waved his hand after admiring, "Brothers, get ready to work."

So the four of them went out first.

Seeing Xu Shaoqiang walking over with Sydney supported, a brother rubbed his hands, and asked with the sound of knuckles: "Shall we turn this guy over now?"

"The time hasn't come yet." Yang Qinglin smiled playfully, "The matter is not serious, and it can't show Datang's ability. You two go and get the motorcycle ready first, we're going to catch big fish with a long line."

The remaining brother reminded worriedly: "Yangzi, don't make a mistake."

"Don't worry, everything is under control, this guy can't run away." Yang Qinglin said vowedly, while looking around, "I'm guessing. This hero Yun, should he find a hotel nearby, or drive someone away?" go home."

The answer was soon revealed. For anxious people, waiting is a torment. Xu Shaoqiang directly took Sydney to a hotel not far from here.

……

Tang Huan and Mi Xue managed to get out of the crowded traffic and arrived at the place to eat, only to find that there was nothing, and the latter became more and more impatient.

"Don't panic, my brother, things are still very reliable." After Tang Huan comforted, he asked a buddy to inquire, and confirmed that the two groups of people described had eaten here.

"It seems that my brother is staring at Xu Shaoqiang. After all, they don't know your sister. If Sydney wants to leave, they can't stop them by force. Instead, they can only follow behind and protect them." Tang Huan breathed a sigh of relief and patiently told him Mi Xue analyzed it, "Let's wait a moment, I believe there will be news soon."

Facts have proved that Tang Huan and Yang Qinglin have a very good understanding. Within 2 minutes of his making a judgment, a brother came to report.

When she was taken to the hotel, she saw her sister lying on the bed in a dazed state. Mi Xue was so furious that she rushed into the bathroom and beat Xu Shaoqiang who was lying on the ground, showing her heroine demeanor.

"Why didn't you stop her on the spot, and insisted on waiting here." Tang Huan asked in a low voice while admiring Mi Xue's madness like an enraged lioness.

"It's no wonder we strangers suddenly blocked the way, so we shouldn't be regarded as crazy." Yang Qinglin chuckled.

"That's true." Tang Huan nodded slightly, and then praised, "Catching thieves and taking stolen goods, catching traitors and taking doubles, the evidence is as solid as a mountain, well done."

"We're not shooting this movie, what about Sydney's performance contract?" Mi Xue, who calmed down, pulled the towel out of Xu Shaoqiang's mouth.

"Not here." Xu Shaoqiang, who was in a panic, replied inarticulately.

"Who are you lying to, aren't you the film producer?" Mi Xue's pretty face was frosty, and she raised her leg to kick.

"It's really not with me. I have already handed it over to the investors." Seeing this, Xu Shaoqiang quickly defended, "The other party is a gangster, and I am not sure whether he can take out the performance contract."

"This guy is so cheap, he dared to fool us with the gangster, it seems that he is still not honest." Yang Qinglin walked over with a smile, put the towel back into Xu Shaoqiang's mouth, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Mi Xue to avoid it.

"Mr. Tang, I made you laugh." Mi Xue walked over to apologize.

"It's human nature. If anyone treats my family like this, I will react more violently than you." Tang Huan waved his hand indifferently, with an unabashed expression of admiration on his face, "Your sister is absolutely Enough righteousness."

"What's the use of that, this girl Sydney always doesn't listen to me." Mi Xue sighed, and stretched out her hands to straighten the clothes of her sleeping sister.

"It takes time for people to communicate, and it will get better gradually." Tang Huan, who was crossing his legs, said a few words of relief.

At this time, Yang Qinglin opened the bathroom door, and said dejectedly: "This guy seems to be telling the truth. The main investor of that movie is really a gangster."

After hearing Yang Qinglin finish speaking, Mi Xue's face became ugly, and she said repeatedly: "What should I do, we can't let Sydney continue to act."

"Of course not, that's too disgusting." Tang Huan shook his head, "The so-called gangsters are also seeking money. It's no big deal in my eyes. You can leave it to me."

"That would be too much trouble for Mr. Tang..." Mi Xue showed a look of hesitation on her face.

"It's outrageous to say that, I like to help a loving woman like you." Tang Huan waved his hand disapprovingly.

Hearing this, Mi Xue was a little overwhelmed, blushed, and lowered her head.

Fortunately, Yang Qinglin came over to relieve the embarrassment of the atmosphere, and he scolded angrily: "I didn't expect this guy to be not only cheap, but also troublesome."

"It's not that I haven't dealt with the local associations in Xiangjiang before, so what's the big deal." Tang Huan waved his hand lazily, "Now that you've clarified the matter, let's get out of here."

Before going out, Tang Huan seemed to remember something, and whispered to Yang Qinglin, "Find that guy a camera..."

……

Just as the fact that letting Sydney resign from an ordinary film involved a big man in the rivers and lakes reveals that the background of Xiangjiang movies is really complicated.

Take the first Hong Kong Film Awards held on the past March 3th as an example. The organizers were full of enthusiasm, but in fact it ended in indifference.

The large film company, DreamWorks, gave face, and even the winners, such as the best actor Xu Guanwen, did not come to accept the award in person.

Don't look at the Xiangjiang film industry that has been prosperous since the 1950s, but until now, there is not even a practitioner industry organization like the Directors Association and the Actors Association.

This may be related to the ubiquitous left-right disputes, or monopoly companies like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest do not want their subordinates to form a group.

This situation directly led to the fact that the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is completely privately run, had no authority at all at the beginning of its birth. Not to mention a hot face and a cold butt, it was also accused of being different from the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards.

You know, compared to the first Hong Kong Film Awards in the original time and space, its founder "Film Biweekly" secretly received a lot of funding from Tang Huan, and it has done a more complete job. For example, the award setting is not only the best. Movies, best director, best screenwriter, best actor, best actress are so simple.

It can be seen from this that in this world, things cannot be done well with just a good heart.

For this reason, Chen Baisheng, the editor-in-chief of "Film Biweekly", came here to apologize, saying that he had failed Mr. Tang's trust.

"This result is not unexpected." Tang Huan looked at it very openly, and shook his head with a smile, "Keep going, believe me, in a few years, the Xiangjiang Film Awards will become a favorite."

Seeing Chen Bosheng confidently claiming yes, Tang Huan continued to add, "I will continue to invest resources in supporting "Film Biweekly" and the Hong Kong Film Awards. You don't need to worry too much."

Tang Huan didn't have so much free time to take care of Chen Bosheng's fragile glass heart. After comforting him a few words, he sent him away and continued to ask DreamWorks about making movies.

After exclusively investing and shooting two trendy youth idol films "Applause" and "Unemployed", as well as co-producing with peers and funding many talented and potential independent filmmakers, the film department of DreamWorks has been tempered. Got to be fully formed.

In this way, Tang Huan's plan to let Li Lianjie, who became famous overnight through "Shaolin Temple", make a kung fu movie is fully guaranteed.

In fact, Tang Huan originally wanted to use Huang Feihong, an artistic figure, who was deeply rooted in Hong Kong's local people, to let Xu Ke shoot the version of "Huang Feihong" in the 1990s in the original time and space.

As long as the funds are in place, there are no technical difficulties that cannot be dealt with in this project.

However, when he saw Li Lianjie, who came to report for duty, still showing immature behavior at this stage, he gave up.

In Tang Huan's view, even if martial arts films don't demand acting skills, the old-fashioned heart and the benevolence of doctors shown in the version of "Huang Feihong" in the original time and space, Li Lianjie, who has only acted in one movie, cannot be interpreted. The two points were really unbearable, so I had to temporarily postpone it and make other movies.

Since it is difficult to take the route of "the great hero" for a while, it is better to use the style of "leading you to pretend and take you to fly". Tang Huan chose the "Fang Shiyu" released in 1993 in the original time and space.

For works spanning ten years, the biggest gap is naturally the creation of martial arts scenes.

Although Tang Huan is not a professional in the film industry, he can show the information in his memory through drawing, and according to this requirement, let his capable people use their brains to solve it.

In the final analysis, this difference in artificial artistic effects is not an insurmountable objective gap like the semiconductor technology and manufacturing process in the 1980s and 1990s.

And Tang Huan also plans to use this one-step-ahead artistic expression form to go to Hollywood to test the waters, let the West learn about the unique types of movies in the East, and rely on "hunting novelty" to win the box office.

Just when Tang Huan was constantly brainstorming on the film project, making the DreamWorks people in a hurry, he suddenly received a message that Jardine wanted to make peace with himself quietly.
