Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

At the present stage, it is the most active period for Hong Jinbao in the Xiangjiang film industry, wandering among various investors, producer, director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, actor... behind the scenes, all kinds of work can be said to be at his fingertips. The 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards awarded him the best actor, which reflects a kind of affirmation.

Of course, Hong Jinbao sometimes misses. This year's producer Mr. Zombie made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Liu Guanwei, who is the director, came from photography. He had the qualifications of directing films before, but the level is that the shots are coherent and not jumping. The prestige is limited. Naturally, he can't suppress the crew whose members are almost all old fritters; the result is spending money Like running water, I thought the budget of 4.5 million was very ample, but I didn't expect the gap to be nearly doubled.

It has to be said that these Xiangjiang filmmakers who have come out of practice often rely more on their feelings to do things. Coupled with the fetters of brotherhood and human relations, it is normal for the project to lose control.

The matter has come to this point, Hong Jinbao can only admit it, after all, a brother, the palms and backs of the hands are fleshy, and the words are too harsh. Apart from hurting feelings, it will not help the matter. In the future, he will have to rely on this team to continue working hard.

Just when Hong Jinbao was thinking of a remedy, things turned around, and DreamWorks was willing to come forward to fill this gap, on the condition that he make a new film.

This quid pro quo is normal. The box office of Mr. Zombie is predicted to be about 6 million, but the cost has already reached 8.5 million, and it will lose 2 million at once. Naturally, DreamWorks will not take advantage of it in vain and want to get a compensation.

So Hong Jinbao didn't have any conflicts in his heart. He just thought that film companies exchanged artists' schedules with each other. This was the norm in the industry, and it also showed that he had the capital to be valued by others.

When Hong Jinbao told about the situation to Mr. Zombie, which was almost at a standstill, everyone was grateful, but also admired, and their prestige grew a lot.

The full harvest of being supported made Hong Jinbao feel very good. As soon as he saw Tang Huan, he sincerely thanked the big boss for his generous assistance.

After the movie I told you is done, the remuneration and dividends will not be less. Tang Huan first pointed out this point directly, after all, people like Hong Jinbao worked so hard to make the movie. Isn't it just for money, so naturally we have to increase our motivation first.

I personally don't ask for these things. Without Tang Sheng's help, the film Mr. Zombie might have happened. Hong Jinbao, who knew the advances and retreats, quickly waved his hands and declined.

One yard counts for one yard. If you come to make this movie, you will make up for the favor. Tang Huan pushed the script on the table over, This war movie will involve some differences at the political level of the country. .

If you take the responsibility, you always have to bear some risks.

Hong Jinbao glanced at Wu Hanrun next to him. He had already guessed a bit of the story from the War and Slaughter that the Oscar Best Supporting Actor was famous for, and immediately slapped his chest boldly, Although I, Sanmao, am a rough person, I am also Knowing the righteousness is the first thing to do, since Tang Sheng thinks highly of me, I am obliged to do so.

Tang Huan nodded slightly in satisfaction, pointed at the script and said with a smile: Look at it first, there are many new fields of film here that you haven't touched.

Hong Jinbao immediately picked up the script called Oriental Condor in front of him, and browsed through it at a glance.

The content is roughly that the son of a rich man is an archaeologist with a weird temper. He went to Angkor Wat regardless of the danger, but was betrayed and hijacked, and became a bargaining chip in political negotiations. It has been dragged on for many years with no results.

The rich man's health is getting worse and worse, and he urgently needs to find his son to inherit the family business, so he finds a group of people from the refugee camp who are willing to risk their lives to improve the future of themselves and their families, and they go there under the leadership of a mercenary. rescue. The name of the operation is Eastern Condor.

When the team that suffered heavy losses finds the target, it finds that the other party has been reformed and is unwilling to leave...

Hong Jinbao closed the script, scratched his head, and said with a wry smile: Tang Sheng is right. The filming of this film does involve many unfamiliar fields, such as fierce gun battles, explosions in big scenes, and other new elements. I almost The child has become a novice.

Everything is the same, this movie still needs to be supported by your efforts in the final analysis. Tang Huan laughed, DreamWorks has already prepared, and will provide the best arms and blasting experts to assist, you just need Just explain to them what you want to achieve and follow the safe process.

Even if blasting is used in filming, there are many restrictions here in Xiangjiang. I am afraid that most of the shots of this film will have to be completed overseas. Hong Jinbao felt the pressure of cost.

The constraints you have considered are not a problem. The crew will go to Funan to shoot on-site. There will be troops to assist and protect you.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan stretched out his finger and concluded: What needs to be paid attention to is that the movie should be exciting, and it should be released in November this year to coincide with the arrival of Funan Independence Day. In addition, Mr. Wu may still be a little unaccustomed to it. Take care of yourself.

Hong Jinbao, who had already calculated in his heart that he had a lot to do, immediately said with emotion: Tang Sheng is so particular about his work, I will definitely live up to the trust.

...

After Hong Jinbao and Wu Hanrun left, Tang Huan casually called Jiang Zhiqiang and told him to pay attention to the movie Mr. Zombie.

You know, this unpopular movie somehow catered to the tastes of the audience in the original time and space, and then started a zombie movie craze that lasted until the early 1990s. The local box office alone earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

If this achievement follows the historical trajectory and is staged as scheduled, how will the parties react?

Tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is not a big deal in Tang Huan's eyes, but the feeling of playing with everyone in the palm of his hand is really interesting. Whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help laughing.

In the following time, accompanied by Yu Zheng, Le Yiling and others, Tang Huan inspected DreamWorks.

The TV drama production department is the most stable and the busiest. The costume dramas in their heyday have differentiated a large number of popular themes after combining elements such as martial arts, history, dynastic hegemony, grievances, gods and ghosts, and folklore. , it can only be said that the cultural wealth of five thousand years is simply inexhaustible.

Of course, fashion dramas have not fallen behind, especially Wei Jiahui's love and hatred dramas have begun to emerge.

The status of the comics department and the video game department in DreamWorks is somewhat marginal, but it does not mean that they are discriminated against and passive.

In addition to works that existed in the original time and space such as Feng Yun, the former also released new works such as Magical Girl, Kung Fu Panda, etc. It has greatly enriched the material library of film and television adaptations.

The latter has formed its own system in martial arts games, and is currently busy developing the Three Kingdoms game patch package outsourced by EA.

The record department is facing fierce competition. Chen Baiqiang, who was so popular in the past two years, began to decline in popularity. Alan Tam's successor became very popular, Leslie Cheung's rapid rise, and other changes illustrate the speed of the Hong Kong music scene's renewal.

The competition among female singers once again demonstrated the effect of Tang Huan's intervention.

In the original time and space, except for Anita Mui's popularity in this period. Priscilla Chan is no less impressive. But the latter was robbed of her famous song. As a result, she was born in a well-to-do family. According to the wishes of her parents who were civil servants, she went to the United States to study for a university degree, and did not enter the eccentric Hong Kong entertainment circle.

The most intriguing thing is that Priscilla Chan applied for the scholarship established by Tang Huan to go to the United States, and it is very likely that she will serve his company in the future.

However, to be honest, although Zhang Delan, who got the golden finger, is also very popular. But it is still not as popular as Anita Mui. She is following a style similar to Madonna. She is eye-catching, and her singing and dancing performance is very talented. The status of superstar has stabilized.

Moreover, Xiangjiang's film and music circles are not so pure, and the entertainment industry has a stronger taste. Whether the communication skills are strong or not, the influence on the stardom cannot be ignored.

Overall. The ecology of the Xiangjiang music scene is changing rapidly, and it is deeply influenced by the Japanese music scene. Singers who do not adapt may really have no choice but to retire.

This also reflects to some extent the lack of inclusiveness of the Hong Kong music scene, not only Cantonese pop music has completely suppressed Mandarin pop music. Even the living space of rock music is not optimistic. The Beyond band that Tang Huan met once, seems to have a long way to fame.

As for the film department, the situation was even more complicated. Many people took advantage of Hu Yinmeng's production break in the United States to switch jobs. Perhaps, the turbulent process of digesting the resources of Shaw Brothers. It also played a role in fueling the flames.

In the end, Tang Huan came to the rehearsal room of the artist department to have a look, and just happened to—or maybe it was a deliberate arrangement at all—the members of Girls' Generation were practicing.

Looking past Gigi Lai, who was the youngest, Tang Huan nodded with a smile, and said emphatically: This team is not easy to form, you must manage it well.

Boss, don't worry, I will take good care of them like my eyeballs. Le Yiling glanced at the artists under her, Queen Faner fully assured.

...

Now that he knew that TVB was looking for excellent mainland candidates for Miss Xiangjiang, Tang Huan specially called Xie Ning here at night to ask her thoughts.

TVB and Media Asia TV are in a competitive relationship. The beauty pageants on both sides are naturally competing. If I go to run for Miss Xiangjiang, it will not be very good. Besides, I am quite satisfied with my current career. The target of the letter is getting closer, and I don't want to be distracted. Xie Ning's concerns were indeed the same as Le Yiling's previous analysis.

It's because you have this idea that you didn't mention any news to me? Tang Huan shook his head disapprovingly, I have a lot of property, and if we all adhere to the attitude of being friends or enemies, it will be difficult for us to move forward. Besides, you are just a makeup artist and model of DreamWorks, and you are not an artist, so your personal decision has nothing to do with the competition from TVB, Media Asia TV, or DreamWorks.

You mean, my participation in Miss Xiangjiang's election won't cause any negative impact? Xie Ning's face flashed with surprise. After all, girls love beauty, and the opportunity in front of them is not so easy to give up.

Of course it doesn't affect you. Tang Huan laughed, stretched his arms slightly and hugged him tighter. If there is any influence, I'm the one who influences you. If our relationship is exposed, you may lose the chance to compete.

Xie Ning blushed and replied in a low voice: I know you like to keep a low profile, so you have always kept a secret.

Little fool, your so-called strict secrecy can't hide from the eyes of those with a heart. Tang Huan took a bite lovingly, But as long as you don't get caught by the media, everything will be fine. I'll find you a candidate for Miss Xiangjiang The nominee, um... Zheng Yutong, it just so happens that he is also from Southern Guangdong.

Don't be so ostentatious, if the grades are not good, it will be too shameful. Xie Ning begged softly.

Don't worry, your strength, my face, and your grades are not bad. Tang Huan's tone and actions revealed an unquestionable domineering.

...

With the episode of Xie Ning's participation in Miss Xiangjiang's election, Tang Huan decided to find out how far Media Asia TV's beauty pageant has been prepared.

Regardless of the fact that it was his own business, based on his original time and space impression, Tang Huan had little interest in this plan, which was obviously motivated by a fight with Miss Xiangjiang from TVB.

When Zhou Liangshuyi and Hu Yinmeng sent the documents up, Tang Huan looked at the contents and found that there was nothing new, so he suggested a few words casually, Simple copying Miss Xiangjiang's model, the layout is limited, it is better to expand the target of the election It is meaningful to the entire Chinese community.”

In this way, Media Asia TV and DreamWorks completely revised the plan. Tang Huan only learned about the simplest recent situation, that is, the beauty pageant was renamed as Miss Chinese Universe, or Miss Hua for short.

Seeing that the boss came to Media Asia TV, the first thing he asked was the progress of the preparations for the beauty pageant. Zhou Liang Shuyi couldn't help but feel refreshed, and wondered, The boss's attitude from the previous indifference to the current inquiry, does it mean Does it mean that he explicitly supports the Sister Hua contest?

At the present stage, it is the most active period for Hong Jinbao in the Xiangjiang film industry, wandering among various investors, producer, director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, actor... behind the scenes, all kinds of work can be said to be at his fingertips. The 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards awarded him the best actor, which reflects a kind of affirmation.

Of course, Hong Jinbao sometimes misses. This year's producer Mr. Zombie made him feel a little overwhelmed.

Liu Guanwei, who is the director, came from photography. He had the qualifications of directing films before, but the level is that the shots are coherent and not jumping. The prestige is limited. Naturally, he can't suppress the crew whose members are almost all old fritters; the result is spending money Like running water, I thought the budget of 4.5 million was very ample, but I didn't expect the gap to be nearly doubled.
