Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 215 Huaxing's Olive Branch
Asking for leave is actually very simple. "The Legend of Sword and Heroes" was originally invested by Huaxing. Even if Hu Zi didn't want to, he had to give Huaxing face.

Suning's departure made it impossible to shoot martial arts perfectly, so Hu Zi planned to shoot literary dramas first.

Recently, it's not that Suning hasn't received the script, even though they are all leading men, it really doesn't make him happy.

Because of "Soldier's Glory", Suning got a lot of military-themed scripts, but the scripts were all about romance and were not pure at all. For him, military themes can have emotions, but they are too unrealistic. , for him, it was really difficult to accept, so he rejected them all, which also left him with no scenes to film for a while.

Fortunately, the filming of "The World of Immortal Heroes" is about to finish. Presumably, after the show is broadcast, he will no longer be a professional soldier in the eyes of those in the circle.

Hengdian is quite far from Yanjing, but Suning doesn't like to fly, so he chose to go by car. During the period, he went home and saw Su Xin, who was eating a bit of flavor, and was very satisfied.

When they arrived in Yanjing, there was still one day before the celebration banquet.

Kang Zhuang personally received Suning, and the two talked about some things while having lunch in a restaurant by the window.

Su Ning took a sip of liquor, and asked bluntly, "Director Kang, is Huaxing's big boss trying to recruit me?"

Kang Zhuang nodded and said: "Yes, you are now considered a figure in the entertainment industry, especially in the circle of martial arts instructors. You are already considered the No. 1 martial arts instructor in the mainland. Even if you have only been a martial arts instructor for a few months, But the promotional video of "The World of Immortal Heroes" is so powerful that your popularity is not low even on overseas networks."

Suning understood and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that he recruited me to be a martial arts instructor. It seems that Big Laowang's ambition is not small."

Kang Zhuang is not from Huaxing, so naturally he doesn't have any scruples. He looked at Suning seriously, "This is a good opportunity. Huaxing now only has one director, Ye Gangpao, who can compete with those directors in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Martial arts instructors have never been able to rise, so Hua Xing is now preparing to make a big splash, prepare ammunition, and be ready to go."

Listening to Kang Zhuang's words, Suning laughed and said, "Director Kang, do you watch too many Hong Kong dramas?"

Hearing this, Kang Zhuang scratched his head, smiled wryly and said, "Recently I've read a lot of "New Century"."

Su Ning nodded and said: "If Huaxing wants to recruit me, I have no objection, but martial arts instruction is not my dream, my dream is to be a film director."

Kang Zhuang pointed out: "The old king told me that as long as you are willing to build an action team for Huaxing, an investment of less than 1000 million in the future can satisfy you once. Of course, the premise is that you can't lose money."

Suning's eyes lit up, this was a big sweet date for him.

Kang Zhuang said: "This is an opportunity for you. Huaxing can give you the best conditions, but you must also have a certificate of approval. Hollywood will start filming the super agent movie series "" around December this year. The first part of Spy Shadow will be filmed in Shanghai. The producer of this movie has seen the martial arts moves you designed and is very interested in you. He intends to let you be the martial arts director of the fighting scene in Shanghai at the beginning of the movie. However, Yuan Tianping, the president of the Hong Kong-Kowloon Martial Arts Association, heard the news and tried his best to prevent it, so the producer Mike decided to ask you and Yuan Tianping to each submit a short video of martial arts movements, and let him make a choice."

Su Ning said in disbelief: "Why didn't I know, why didn't you tell me?"

Kang Zhuang said bitterly: "You don't have a brokerage company, so Feina Company can only contact Huaxing. In fact, the big old Wang doesn't have much confidence in this. He is half-hearted. After all, Yuan Tianping has a deep foundation in Hollywood, and you may not be able to compare. It would be bad for you if you humiliated yourself, of course, the old man is willing to give it a go when you come."

Su Ning suddenly realized that it was so.

The Hong Kong and Kowloon Martial Arts Association is indeed hateful and wants to monopolize the mainland's martial arts instruction resources, but their sudden emergence has made them feel pressure, so they need to overpower themselves.

Su Ning sneered and said, "I will definitely convince Yuan Tianping to lose. I will be the martial arts instructor of "The Spy Movie"."

The old man Kang Zhuang gave a calculated smile, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Well done, the old man will discuss this matter with you at the celebration banquet tomorrow, and you don't have to go as the martial arts instructor of "Excalibur and Heroes". Anyway, Hua Xing is investor."

Suning nodded and became ambitious.

It goes without saying that the influence of the super-agent movie series "Bourne" is huge. The cumulative box office of the twelve movies has reached more than 100 billion U.S. dollars.

If he can become the martial arts director of this movie, Suning will be famous not only in the mainland, but even overseas. More importantly, this can directly break the monopoly of Hong Kong and Kowloon on martial arts guidance, and let the mainland martial arts director rise.

Kang Zhuang finally toasted Suning with a glass of wine, and said sincerely: "Maybe you won't succeed, but I still wish you defeat Yuan Tianping. If you can succeed, the influence of those martial arts in Hong Kong and Kowloon will be greatly reduced. At that time, we Martial arts in mainland China will also stand up straight, so they don’t have to go to Hong Kong and Kowloon to do things.”

Suning returned a glass of wine and asked, "What about the failure?"

Kang Zhuang said lightly: "If you fail, you will fail. The old king never thought that you would succeed. After all, Yuan Tianping's influence in Hollywood is far beyond what we can imagine. The old king just wants you to break open the port." The influence of the Nine Martial Arts Association on the mainland martial arts."

Suning smiled.

In this case, he is confident.

……

At night, Huaxing's reception hall is brightly lit, with a buffet banquet and a gathering of stars.

A circle has its own rules. China Star is strong, but its qualifications are not deep. It is considered a giant in the mainland, but compared with the entertainment companies in Hong Kong and Kowloon, its stars are not enough.

Ye Gangpao's "Thieves vs. Thieves" also invited Liu Tianhua, one of the four kings of Hong Kong and Kowloon. The movie that defeated "Thieves vs. Thieves" was Zhou Xingxing, the king of comedy in Hong Kong dramas.

Da Lao Wang is not willing to let the resources of the mainland entertainment industry be occupied by stars from Hong Kong and Kowloon, so he is eager to seek talents, not only stars with potential, but also wants to have his own action team.

Because most of the action teams in the mainland are from Hong Kong and Kowloon, this also makes the entertainment resources in the mainland give Hong Kong and Kowloon a lot of points. It is true that he has ambitions, but he is definitely a mainlander with good roots, so even if he fails, He also wants to challenge the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

He is a person who is very good at judging people, otherwise Ye Gang Pao would not be included under his banner.

Accompanied by Kang Zhuang, Suning entered the celebration banquet and saw many stars and directors.

There are quite a lot of stars under Huaxing's banner. In Yanjing's circle, the film industry may not be involved deeply, but the TV circle has a deep foundation.

Among them, Da Lao Wang and Wang Lao Er walked in surrounded by many celebrities.

To be honest, the celebration banquet was just a gimmick, and there were many reporters present. The reporters from Yanjing TV station even set up cameras and prepared to broadcast live.

Suning and those celebrities are in the state of I know you and you don't know me. Except for Wang Xiaoqiang and some people, it is really difficult to find anyone to chat with.

When Da Lao Wang was being interviewed by the reporter, he laughed and asked the assistant beside him to invite Suning over.

In the flashlight and the reporter's microphone, the old man pointed at Suning and said proudly: "This is the strongest martial arts instructor in our mainland. Everyone should have no objections?"

Many reporters nodded silently.

The stars present were also silent. For Suning, some stars were actually a bit jealous.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Wang, are you planning to set up an action team?"

Big Laowang laughed and said: "Yes, the mainland market is mature enough now, but the action team relies on Hong Kong and Kowloon. I think this is very bad, so I decided to set up an action team."

A reporter asked: "Mr. Wang, are you confident?"

Another reporter asked Suning: "Su Ning, you are so young, are you really capable of commanding an action team?"

The old man smiled and looked at Suning, looking forward to Suning's answer.

Suning nodded with a smile, and said loudly: "Of course, the martial arts of our H country are extensive and profound, how can Hong Kong and Kowloon, which is a tiny place, be able to compete. Since Mr. Wang thinks highly of me, then I will definitely work hard to make the martial arts in the mainland rise. "

The reporters applauded.

However, a reporter from Hong Kong and Kowloon sarcastically said: "Su Ning, how can you, a fledgling boy, defeat the martial arts of Hong Kong and Kowloon?"

Suning countered powerfully: "Everyone has seen my promotional video of "The World of Immortals". I don't think Hong Kong and Kowloon's martial arts can be done."

awesomeness.

The reporter from Hong Kong and Kowloon sneered, "You are too arrogant."

Su Ning smiled with his hands behind his back: "Whether you are arrogant or not, you can talk about it after my action team is established."

At this time, the old man cast an angry look at the Hong Kong and Kowloon reporter. He had to bow his head under the eaves, and the Hong Kong and Kowloon reporter had no choice but to restrain himself.

The stars and directors present were also attracted by Suning's bold words.

The old man decided to give it a go, and said in a deep voice: "Su Ning has already been invited by the crew of "The Spy Movie" by the Hollywood company Phena to compete with Yuan Tianping from Hong Kong and Kowloon for martial arts guidance."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap, and the reporters rushed into a rush, and countless questions rained down.

"Su Ning, are you really confident in defeating Yuan Tianping?"

"Mr. Wang, does Huaxing intend to break into Hollywood?"

"..."

"Be quiet."

The big old king suppressed the reporter's question and said seriously: "For the mainland entertainment industry, we need our own talents. It may be a little late now, but no matter how late, we will not ask for help. I believe that ten years later, Huaxing The action team will contract most of the action scenes in the mainland."

After a pause, the old king continued: "Maybe some people worship foreigners, but I want to say that one is a strong man who does not ask for others but strives for self-improvement. I hope you can do the same."

The reporters from Hong Kong and Kowloon looked ugly.

……

After the celebration banquet, Huaxing was on the top floor.

The Pharaoh's exclusive office.

"Su Ning, I have already let go of the words, I hope you can satisfy me." The old man looked at Suning who was sitting on the sofa across from him, "You are an expert on the action team, and I don't give any advice, but The short film of "The Spy Movie" crew must be completed on December 12th, because Mike said, they will officially announce the martial arts director of "The Spy Movie" in the magic city of H country on December 10th At one o'clock in the afternoon, the ownership of the martial arts will be decided in the conference room of the Feinamodu company building."

Suning nodded.

Hollywood probably took a fancy to the mainland market and wanted to find a gimmick.

The old man continued: "As for the establishment of the action team, the people from the Propaganda Department will cooperate with you. It must be established as soon as possible. You can do whatever you want if you have less than 50 people. You can give me a report. As for the building of the action team, I have already called someone It's been arranged for you, it's under renovation, what else do you want?"

Su Ning thought for a while and said, "Is Mr. Wang really agreeing to my being the director?"

The old king nodded directly and said: "As long as you don't lose money, I can give you privileges. Of course, the amount depends on your commercial value."

What Huaxing lacks the most at present is talents, and they would rather kill mistakes than let them go.

What's more, Suning is indeed worthy of his investment.

With Suning's reputation, the action team he formed will definitely be welcomed by mainland crews. After all, the martial arts in Hong Kong and Kowloon are always outsiders. The gap between culture and history will take time to bridge.

Suning nodded in satisfaction, and smiled: "Thank you so much Mr. Wang for giving me the opportunity. I will spend ten days setting up an action team, and then spend ten days shooting short action films. But Mr. Wang, regarding the action requirements, does the producer Mike know anything about it?" Require?"

Big Lao Wang shook his head and said: "No, it's just a fashion fight, no more."

Su Ning nodded in understanding.

The next day, China Star's publicity department began to advertise that two days later, China Star's audition building would recruit martial artists, with favorable wages, and the possibility of becoming an action team for the Hollywood spy blockbuster "Bulletin".

All of a sudden, it attracted countless mainland martial artists and those retired martial arts champions.

However, the companies in the same industry understand that the big old king is making money at a loss, and they don't believe that Suning can beat Yuan Tianping.

But the big old king doesn't care at all, even if it's losing money and making money, it's not bad.

After all, how much money can an action team spend, but the market prospect is as big as the vast sea.

The Hong Kong and Kowloon Martial Arts Association occupies too much of the market in the mainland, and it really needs an action team to break through it. Since Suning has the strength, Big Laowang is willing to go along with the situation, because this is also the icing on the cake for his Hua Xing's future.

But the old man is a businessman after all, and he needs Suning to give a satisfactory copy and plan.

On the day of selection, in the lobby of the audition building.

Su Ning was alone on the table under the stage, and only the manager of the Propaganda Department and the secretary of the big old king to Suning, male, were sitting beside him.

On the stage, the muscular man began to introduce himself: "My name is Zhang Fei. I have ten years of experience as a martial arts substitute. I have worked in the crew for many years. I hope Director Su will give me a chance."

Suning let him punch a set, shook his head and told him to leave.

This man's skill is not bad, but his flexibility is not strong enough, his reaction ability is not strong, he is too mediocre.

Suning's team plans to recruit 40 people, including five people from Suning. They must be independent, but of course not now.

The next person is called Wu Jin, the national martial arts champion, Wu Dai, wasted years, this is also normal, good at Drunken Sword and Bajiquan.

After he performed a set of Bajiquan, Suning immediately nodded and let him go to the finance department to sign the contract. Wu Jin was very grateful.

Huaxing's qualifications are not deep, but its strength is very strong. The TV and movies it casts account for two-tenths of the mainland entertainment industry. There must be many opportunities.

What's more, Wu Jin also really admires Suning. He has worked with Suning on the crew of "Excalibur".

Time gradually passed.

After the selection was over, only 35 people were recruited, but Suning was satisfied. After five or six days of hard work, the action short film could be officially shot. As for the equipment, Huaxing's warehouse had it.

On November 11, a three-story building not far from Huaxing Company was held. A signboard with five golden characters "Huaxing Sujiaban" was hung at the door. All the celebrities under Big Lao Wang came to support it.

There is a large open space in the building, and there is an open-air movie stage in the open space. In order to satisfy the old man, Suning has already shot a 30-second action short film in advance. After the reporter arrived, he began to let his subordinates play it.

This is a fight with no special effects and only Wia. Of course, a special effects artist was also hired to modify it.

The content is nothing more than fighting in the arena, but the movements are majestic.

The fighters are Suning and Wu Jin.

Because Hu Jing's agency is in Hong Kong and Kowloon, Suning couldn't hire him.

The 30-second action short film had just been screened, and countless reporters aimed their flashes and cameras at the curtain.

The fighting is indeed exciting. Both the storyboard and the action are of top quality. More importantly, it is very in line with modern people's aesthetics. Those martial arts instructors in Hong Kong and Kowloon are out of date.

The great old man smiled with satisfaction.

This also made him start to face up to Suning's strength. Maybe he can be made a director. Kung fu movies still have a great market overseas.

Originally, he was just using Suning to occupy the mainland in advance, but now, he suddenly felt that maybe Suning could defeat Yuan Tianping.
