    Although Chengxiong complained very much to Cameron, he had no choice but to interfere with his creation of "True Lies".  Therefore, Mak Cheng-hsiung only needs to make "Tomb Raider".  The script is finished.

    Now the script is in hand, but the director is unknown. Now Mak Sing-hung has decided to let Hong Kong director Wu Yusen or Tsui Hark be the director of this movie, so he will return to Hong Kong. At the same time, he will also  Bring the script back, because this time "Tomb Raider" and the previous "Resident Evil" are taking the same route.  Write it while the movie is being shot, and when the movie is released, it will also be sold along with the movie. In this way, you can even save the cost of publicity.

    At this time, everyone is busy with their own things. Stan is still working hard for the virtual scene that Mai Chengxiong said. Moreover, the digital skin technology they are researching has also encountered a bottleneck. It is estimated that it will break through soon, so these two days are almost  All gave up their rest time.  Lasseter is equally busy, and now he's not just dealing with day-to-day matters in the digital realm.  He also has to write his own script. He is also very obsessed with "Toy Story" and can't wait to make this movie right away. After all, he has been suppressed for so long and most wants to find a breakthrough point to vent his anger.

    Needless to say, this guy Cameron simply put himself into seclusion.  Mai Chengxiong didn't see this guy at all in the past two days.  All meals are done in my own small office, so I don't have to worry about getting into trouble.

    Just when Mak Chengxiong decided to leave Hollywood, he suddenly thought of something, and that was about the plot of "True Lies". He suddenly had a very good idea. When Harry was fighting the terrorists, he had already mentioned the nuclear bomb.  , at this time Mai Chengxiong seemed to be adding something.  After being sabotaged by Harry, they changed their minds and used hijacking planes to destroy American landmarks.

    Yes, it was the incident that caused later generations. Mak Seng-hsiung was not a good person, but it was really unbearable for such a good building to be destroyed, so all he could do was to remind people in the film, hoping to arouse those  Professional security personnel should pay attention to correct security vulnerabilities in advance to avoid allowing another tragedy to occur.

    Cameron hadn't had a good rest in the past two days, and his eyes were bloodshot. But after hearing Mak Chengxiong's thoughts, he danced and said: "Oh, Mak. You are my most admired screenwriter. Hitting a building with a plane is really awesome."  A crazy idea, probably only you can think of it, it reminds me of the movie "Golden Net", haha. But it's so crazy, I like it, if it weren't for the fact that the production cost is already very high, I would definitely  Let them succeed.¡±

    After Mak Chengxiong finished speaking and saw Cameron's performance, he regretted it very much, because this lunatic had been completely attracted by the plot. Cameron is the director who likes large-scale productions the most. There is nothing he dares not to do.  Once he got excited and really wrote the "introduction" time for future generations, then this film would not be as simple as a silent film.  If it fails, it will be doubled directly. In that case, Mak Chengxiong will have to go bankrupt. Fortunately, this guy behaves very well and can actually understand Mak Chengxiong's hardships.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung returned to Hong Kong, and good news came to him one after another. He didn't expect that he missed so many things during his absence.

    The first people to ask him for credit were Liu Weiqiang and Stephen Chow. The two of them could no longer hide their inner excitement. Their first film was actually a huge success. When the New Year war began, "The Gambler"  They are not favored by everyone, after all, the two of them.  Everyone was new, so the box office was mediocre at first.  But as soon as the Spring Festival passed, their films were immediately praised by everyone, and their support grew. The movie "The Gambler" actually started to gain popularity. As a result, it immediately stood out among the four Lunar New Year films and became a favorite in this year's Lunar New Year schedule.  The first film to cross the 10,000 mark at the box office, it was much higher than Golden Harvest's "Wealth Train".

    Liu Weiqiang has also become the third "mutually concave director" of DreamWorks after Mak Seng-hsiung and Wu Yusen. This time it really makes other companies jealous. Other companies, even among big companies, do not have such a masterpiece as DreamWorks.  There are three "Jin O Wan Directors", especially Liu Weiqiang, who is a new director. His success is simply a replica of Mak Sing-hsiung. His first film was an instant hit, but his performance is not as eye-catching as Mak Sing-hsiung. After all, he is only a director.  Although he is very talented in screenwriting, he has not been successful in screenwriting.

    But think about it, there is probably only one monster like Mak Cheng-hsiung in the world.  () Otherwise, the film industry would really be in chaos.

    "Brother Xiong, we really did not disappoint you this time. "The Gambler" only took a few days to break through the box office mark of 10,000. But the attendance rate is a bit low now. I think it has exceeded 4.  The 10,000 mark is a bit difficult.¡±

    Although Liu Weiqiang¡¯s words were a bit regretful, his expression??I don't feel sad at all. After all, he is a new director. His first film can be so successful. Apart from Mak Sing-hung, he is the only one in Hong Kong.

    Mak Sing-hsiung looked at him at this time and said with a smile: "Okay, he is indeed the director I have chosen. Now you are not still thinking about becoming the best photographer in Hong Kong, are you?" Mak Sing-hsiung said jokingly, remember  In the past, I had wanted to let A Qiang contact directing several times, but this guy is obsessed with shooting skills. If it weren't for Mak Sung-hsiung who forced him into the role this time.  Estimate this.  The guy is still playing with the camera.

    Liu Weiqiang did not expect that Mak Chengxiong would expose his shortcomings so quickly. At this time, he smiled and scratched his head and said nothing.

    Mak Chengxiong also stopped and encouraged him to continue working hard and strive for greater success. At this time, Mak Chengxiong set his sights on Zhou Xingchi next to him.  He came over and patted Zhou Xingchi on the shoulder, "Axing, you did a good job, but you can still see the shortcomings of your acting skills in this film. Although you have found your own unique way now, you are still not mature enough.  , and has not reached perfection, you must remember that you are an actor. Your task is to study acting skills, and success will naturally belong to you."

    Zhou Xingchi has not come into contact with Mak Chengxiong once or twice, but he respects Mak Chengxiong very much.  Even in private, I have great respect for Mak Cheng-hsiung and listen to Mak Cheng-hsiung's teachings most of the time. I am also deeply grateful to Mak Cheng-hsiung. Because of Mak Cheng-hsiung's encouragement, I let him  Zhou Xingchi nodded heavily because he found his own unique way of performing, which is why he was able to achieve his current success.

    At the same time, DreamWorks also welcomed the sixth heavyweight artist Liu Dehua. Liu Dehua debuted relatively early and was promoted by Wireless in the early years and became one of the "Wireless Five". However, due to differences, he  Hidden away by TVB, his contract with TVB officially ended at the beginning of this year. Because his friend Zhou Xingchi had already contacted him, he directly found Mak Chengxiong.

    Andy Lau and Mak Seng-hsiung are still very familiar with each other. They were already very familiar with each other when filming "God of Gamblers", and he has a very cheerful personality and is very familiar with the crew, so this time he came to DreamWorks and  Not timid.  I also said hello to many familiar people.

    The two people who are familiar with Andy Lau in DreamWorks are Zhou Run and Zhou Xingchi. They were good friends when they were in TVB.  So this time the two of them came to the office and talked with him

    Mak Cheng-hsiung also immediately prepared the contract.  Andy Lau actually didn't even sign it and signed his name directly at the end.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung said in a funny tone: "Hua Zai, why don't you take a look? Aren't you afraid that my contract contains a deed of betrayal?"

    Liu Dehua was not worried at all at this time, and said with a relaxed expression: "A contract of sale would be even better, Ah Xiong, but you don't know how many actors out there want to sign contracts with DreamWorks. Now everyone is spreading the word,  DreamWorks is a door to success. As long as you sign a contract with DreamWorks, you will definitely become a star. Just look at Ah Xing. In the past, he was just a small role in Wireless. When he came to DreamWorks, he was still a star.  A year later, he has become a very popular star, which makes me jealous."

    Liu Dehua¡¯s words immediately caused the three people to laugh. Zhou Run also smiled and said at this time: "There is no need to be jealous. Everyone in DreamWorks has equal opportunities. As long as you work hard, you will have a chance."

    Suddenly, Liu Dehua stopped smiling and said to everyone very excitedly: "Actually, my success for a few days is all because of my brother's encouragement, otherwise I would not have achieved what I have today."

    "Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zhou Run asked very strangely at this time.

    Stephen Chow patted Andy Lau on the shoulder at this time and explained to everyone: "Actually, Hua Tsai was a walk-on at the beginning. That's when the two of us got to know each other. I remember it was on the set. At that time, I was very  He is very popular, but he is very close to us as walk-ons and is not a big name at all. He also encourages us to improve our acting skills. Sooner or later, we can become as popular stars as him. ()"

    two.  The eyes of people looking at Zhou Run changed a little, and they were all filled with gratitude. It was obvious that this sentence had a great impact on the two of them.  Zhou Run also vaguely remembered some fragments at this time, smiled and said to the two of them: "So that's it, but you don't need to be grateful to me. I just said it casually, and it's all the result of your own efforts.  With today's results, you don't need to thank me anymore. I advise you to catch Ah Xiong. Who doesn't know that Ah Xiong is the most popular person in Hong Kong. He is not only a gold medal screenwriter, but also a star packager.  With his help, you will soon beAble to realize his dream of becoming a star.  "

    This is from a gold medal screenwriter.  The nickname has been circulating in Hong Kong for several years, and Mak Cheng-hsiung has already acquiesced. Unexpectedly, he will now be given the title of star packer.

    This is not surprising. Just look at the artists signed by DreamWorks. As long as the stars that Mak Chengxiong admires, they have mushroomed in recent years. Except for Cheng Long, DreamWorks also has Zhou Run, Wang Tongxian, and Yang Ziqiong.  The four stars including Stephen Chow, especially Wang Tongxian, Yang Ziqiong and Stephen Chow, were all newcomers when they entered DreamWorks. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, they have become well-known stars in the Hong Kong film industry.

    Wang Zhixian and Yang Ziqiong, two female artists, quickly became popular in Hong Kong through DreamWorks movies. Their salary has become the same as that of Hong Kong's top actresses, only lower than Brigitte Lin and Chung Chuhong. Among them, Yang Ziqiong's salary has not yet been determined.  After all, MGM offered her a sky-high price of tens of thousands of dollars, so now many companies are looking for Wang Tongxian to shoot, but they dare not touch her

    think.

    Zhou Xingchi is an even more successful example.  Less than a year after joining DreamWorks, Stephen Chow has already risen rapidly in the Hong Kong film industry, especially with the yet-to-be-produced film "The Gambler."  The box office has gone through the roof.  Wan has already stepped on other stars of the same period, and also discovered his own unique acting skills. His success is only a matter of time.

    and three.  After chatting with others, Mak Chengxiong also started to get busy. He first came to the screenwriting team of DreamWorks. Wong Kar-wai is now leading the writing team to create a new script. As soon as the New Year is over, their writing team is the busiest, but everyone's enthusiasm is high.  Yes, the film "The Love of Heaven and Earth" was also a great success when it was released. They also received a lot of bonuses according to Hong Kong's latest screenwriter sharing system, so this time they want to create more excellent scripts.  Come.

    This time Mak Seng-hsiung brought the script of "Tomb Raider" and gave it to Wong Kar-wai, asking him to continue creating a movie in the same way as last time.

    After Wong Kar-wai read the script, he was still a little worried, so he found Mak Cheng-hsiung.  Said: "Ah Xiong, although we achieved great success last time, it was just unexpected. Less than half a year has passed. If we repeat the same trick this time, I don't know if these people will still buy it."  Our account? And I feel that this script does not have the advantage of "Resident Evil", this one may be much inferior to the previous one."

    Wong Kar-wai also has a very experienced eye for literary works, so he saw this this time.  So he wanted to remind Mak Cheng-hsiung to avoid poor grades, which would cause embarrassment to everyone.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung has also considered this issue, but these are not problems. After all, it is just an industry driven by movies, and Mak Cheng-hsiung is not referring to making money, but just wants a preconceived idea, and he is now letting Stan conquer the simulation scene  Although production is of great significance for shooting, it is also preparation for launching games in the future.

    When Wong Kar-wai saw Mak Cheng-hsiung persisting, he didn't say much. He didn't know what Mak Cheng-hsiung was thinking.  Not to mention future development trends.  So he simply thought that Mak Cheng-hsiung was just trying to make money. After all, he had a movie to lead the way. Even if it was not good, it would still be of great benefit. So he went back to prepare for the creation of "Tomb Raider" because he had the last time.  Cooperation.  This time it¡¯s a familiar road.  Everyone quickly agreed on the framework and waited for everyone to use their own strengths to write the plot.

    Mai Chengxiong has not seen Wu Yusen since he came back. After asking around, he found that he has been busy with his creation in the office. I wonder what new ideas he has this time. Mai Chengxiong is very happy this time.  I remember that after filming "Resident Evil" last time, Wu Yusen threw away his script and angrily said that he would shoot Mak Chengxiong's script from now on. Fortunately, he figured it out so quickly.

    "I'm back." Wu Yusen said after seeing Mai Chengxiong.  He just said hello lightly and continued to think about the script with his head down. This was his habit. As long as he was working, he would not pay attention to other things.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung was very curious about what script he would create this time.  So I walked over and took a look.

    Before seeing the result, Wu Yusen balled up the piece of papyrus and threw it away in annoyance.  The trash basket at your feet is already filled with rejected drafts.

    Wu Yusen simply put down his pen at this time.  Speaking to Mak Sing-hsiung, he said: "Recently, we have been receiving letters from movie fans here, and the fans' feedback is also very strong. They hope that we can quickly make a sequel to "A Better Tomorrow". Fans all over Hong Kong are very enthusiastic about it."  This call is very loud. I am worried about this matter now. Because the last shooting was so successful, it is really difficult to do it this time for fear of making a mess.Continue to recruit.  "

    It turns out that Wu Yusen was worried about this matter. He had been thinking about the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow". Because the first one was written by him, he did not discuss the sequel with the screenwriter team.  Decided that this time he would be his own master, and this time he would do it.  The sequel is very important to him. If he can't write a script that satisfies him, he won't shoot it. After all, he doesn't want to see the end of a strong man breaking his wrist.

    "Oh, are you encountering some kind of bottleneck? You can tell me and I can help you solve it. Even if it can't be solved, you can at least give me some advice. Mai Chengxiong sat down at this time and wanted to help Wu Yusen solve this problem.  Headache problem.

    Wu Yusen sighed and said in a somewhat complaining tone: "The last time the script was written, in order to resonate with the fans, it actually killed this little guy. If we want to write a sequel now, without Ah's performance, these movie fans  You guys will definitely not agree, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s so difficult here that I can¡¯t start.¡±

    It turns out that this is the case. In fact, this issue has always been a matter of discussion among movie fans, because Zhou Run's performance in "A Better Tomorrow" already had two protagonists, but Bu Wei was shot and died in the end.  What if Zhou Run was missing from this filming.  Then "A Better Tomorrow" is no longer "A Better Tomorrow". After all, it was Zhou Run who made this film, so everyone can't stand "A Better Tomorrow" without Zhou Run.

    "You can try to write a twin brother of Ma Ge, so that this problem can be solved, but because everyone is already deeply ingrained in Ma Ma, you can change the environment. For example, change the background to the United States, so that  Everyone will naturally accept it." Mak Cheng-hsiung calmly talked about the content of the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow".

    Just one sentence made Wu Yusen suddenly have an idea. In fact, he had already considered the other plots very maturely. It was just that Zhou Run's role could not be arranged, so the entire script could not take over the previous one, leaving him scratching his head.  Sorry, now that Mai Chengxiong is back, Wu Yusen suddenly becomes enlightened with just one sentence.

    Wu Yusen burst out laughing suddenly. It was obvious that the problem that had troubled him for many days had been solved. He smiled and said to Mai Chengxiong: "Ah Xiong, I just realized now that you are really sent by God to solve my problem. You really are  My lucky star, one sentence from you actually made me figure out the entire script. Great, the sequel can be filmed now."

    After Wu Yusen finished speaking, he immediately picked up the pen.  Taking advantage of the inspiration, he wrote rapidly, writing very quickly and in a rough way, but these were drafts for his own viewing. After being solved by Mai Chengxiong, his ideas poured out like spring water.  I have already thought a lot about the plot.  At that moment, it was as if I had caught a piece of money, and they were quickly connected, and their status continued to improve.  I also thought of many excellent plots.  At this time, John Woo had already forgotten about Mak Cheng-hsiung in the office, and only had eyes on the script.

    Mak Cheng-hsiung did not want to disturb his thoughts, but quietly retreated by himself. Wu Yusen found inspiration. This is a very fortunate thing, but in this way, he will then film the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow"  Now, there is no time to shoot "Tomb Raider". At this time, Mak Chengxiong thought of Xu Ke, and the style of this film is somewhat similar to Xu Ke's style.

    Xu Ke is not in Hong Kong. He started preparing for the filming of "Once Upon a Time" early. Because the filming was not completed years ago, and some scenes will not be completed until this year, Xu Ke has now taken the crew to the mainland of Guangdong.  Went there to shoot, but didn't even leave any contact information. This time, Mak Cheng-hsiung missed it again.

    For a time, Mak Sung-hsiung did not have a suitable director to shoot "Tomb Raider". After all, this film is also a very good film. Mak Sing-hsiung does not want to treat it lightly. It seems that the best way now is to wait for Cameron to complete it.  We will start filming after "True Lies", but this cycle will definitely be very long. Cameron attaches great importance to this filming and will be fully prepared before filming.  It might even be impossible to complete this year.  Then, DreamWorks¡¯ funds became less and less.  "True Lies" requires a production fee of 40,000 yuan. If it cannot be prepared within this time, Mak Chengxiong will be in trouble.  It really makes Mai Chengxiong scratch his head.

    After Yang Ziqiong heard the news that Mak Chengxiong was back, she also came to find her. She had not filmed for a long time, and when Mak Chengxiong left this time, he also told her that the script was almost completed in Hollywood, and filming was expected to start soon.  So she came with very high hopes this time.

    "Ah Xiong, has the Hollywood script been completed? When can we start shooting?" Yang Ziqiong asked Mak Chengxiong with some emotions. After all, her situation is also very embarrassing now. If she wants to get out of the predicament, she must continue filming new films.  Come and prove yourself.

    Mai Chengxiong struggled in his heartNext, he said to her with a smile: "The script is going very well. Cameron is currently writing a script about adventure. It is very good. I think you will become a global sensation this time."

    Looking at Yang Ziqiong's expression, Mak Chengxiong naturally would not tell her the truth. Could it be that Cameron, that bastard, actually gave up the idea? Although the script is completed, as long as it has to wait until next year before filming, even if Yang Ziqiong can wait  , Mak Chengxiong himself couldn't wait any longer. After all, there was a shortage of funds, and the film sources of Huamei Cinema were also a problem. He decided to discuss it with the people at Universal after returning this time, hoping to find Spielberg to direct this film.  Film.

    After Mak Chengxiong arranged things in Hong Kong, he didn't stop for a moment and immediately returned to Hollywood. This time he also brought Yang Ziqiong with him. This time he had already made up his mind. If he really couldn't invite Spear  If Berg, then he only has to catch the duck once.  He completed the filming by himself. After all, he is also someone who has watched movies and has experience in directing. Even if it is worse, it will not be much worse.

    As expected by Mak Cheng-hsiung, people around the world didn¡¯t pay much attention to Mak Cheng-hsiung.  He decisively rejected Mak's invitation, and Lucas didn't even have to think about it, so this time Mak really decided to shoot the film himself.

    Of course Mak Cheng-hsiung was not unprepared. This time he also contacted Yuan Heping. After all, he himself was simply not qualified for such a film.  With Yuen Woo-Ping around, he felt a little confident, and there were a lot of fighting actions in this movie. This time, Mak Seng-hsiung finally met Yuan Yuan. Yuen Woo-Ping didn't prepare a new film, but he happened to be very happy working with Mak Seng-hsiung, so he also  He agreed and embarked on his second trip to the United States.

    Stan¡¯s technology has made new breakthroughs. At this time, Mai Chengxiong was asked to see his new achievements. Stan looked at it with excitement: ¡°Hey, fat man, hurry up.

    At this time, a young fat white man came over. He had a lot of fat on his body, but he was very flexible. At this time, he sent a lot of film.  At this time, Stan smiled and said to Mak Chengxiong: "Thanks to Fat Peter this time. He is a printer, and it was his suggestion that allowed us to make a breakthrough. This time he made a great contribution."

    At this time, the fat man smiled and said modestly to the two people: "Actually, it's nothing, but I also love stunts very much, so I suddenly thought that without Stan's skills, it would be useless."

    Mai Chengxiong was very concerned about this fat man, not because of his meritorious service, but because he felt that he looked familiar.
