Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Speaking of which, Zhang Kaigang's film career in the past few years has been much smoother than before.

    Without the episode of Liang Yuan, Zhang Daozhong ¡¯s Grandpa¡¯ s investigation of his grandfather ¡¯s grandfather this year was used to prepare the chrysanthemums nominated by Oscar for the first time.

    Compared with the original trajectory, Director Zhang has been quite high-spirited in recent years.

    Zhang Kaigang himself never expected that the reputation of the twins' film enlightenment teacher would be so useful. When he went out to the set, whether it was a soft or hard sleeper from Iron Boss or a hotline ticket from United Airlines, as long as Zhang Kaigang showed up, there was no ticket that he could not get.

    Traveling to studios all over the country for making a movie is a very difficult task. Zhang Kaigang was able to unexpectedly solve the big problem of transportation, which made the team's morale soar. The filmmakers of the Republic of China are extremely poor these days, so they can find comfortable transportation.  This is already a great benefit.

    Like some established histories, the high-profile Zhang Kaigang rejuvenated his second youth more violently, and even the twins gossiped about the scandal with Gong Li with Liang Yuan.

    Like history, in order to get together and avoid the turbulent public opinion in the country, Zhang Kai just came into contact with "The Love of the Qin Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Times".

    The director, producer, and screenwriter of "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" are all elites in the Hong Kong film industry. It is a completely Hong Kong project. This project can find Zhang Kaigang, which is different from the original plan to open the mainland market.  Dong, Xu, and other Hong Kong film elites invited Zhang Kaigang to join the project, and they paid more attention to the energy that Zhang Kaigang has shown on the other side of the Pacific in recent years.

    The early 1990s was the peak era of Hong Kong films. Countless Hong Kong filmmakers wanted to enter Hollywood ambitiously and take a bite out of the United States, the world's largest and most lucrative film market.

    Therefore, the elites in the Hong Kong film industry pay great attention to every Chinese face who appears in Hollywood, trying to find a shortcut or smooth way to enter Hollywood.

    Zhang Kaigang has shot several commercials in the United States in the past few years, and has been broadcast by the five major television stations in the United States. He is also somewhat famous in the American advertising director circle. These achievements naturally attracted the attention of Hong Kong film elites.

    Starting out as a director of commercials, the four-level training of small-budget films, medium-investment films, and commercial blockbusters has always been an exclusive channel for American directors. As a Chinese-American, Zhang Kaigang can actually take this path. Do you think it will arouse  It¡¯s hard for even an expert to notice.

    When Zhang Kaigang was approached about the "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" project, Cheng Xiaodong had not yet secured the investment for the entire film. When the two parties sat down to talk, Cheng Xiaodong naturally expressed his intention to seek investment from Zhang Kaigang, and Zhang Kaigang did not refuse to give it a try.  The twins were immediately put into the game with one try.

    Liang Yuan has always given a free hand to the twins. The twins were quite satisfied with the quality of Zhang Kaigang as their first film teacher. They said hello to Liang Yuan and directly invested in the crew secretly by inserting Shangri-La advertisements.

    However, under Liang Yuan's instruction, the twins made a request to get sponsorship. In addition to starring, Zhang Kaigang must serve as the co-director of "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors".

    "The Love of the Qin Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Times" can definitely be called the ancestor of the time-traveling party. Even if he had the attitude of paying homage to the ancestor, Liang Yuan would still be interested. What's more, this film was originally shot well, if not  Due to limited investment, the modern plot part is really poorly shot. The story structure of this film definitely has the potential to become a top Chinese-language film.

    Of course, Hong Kong filmmakers these days all look at the mainland through their nostrils. Liu Xiaoqing, currently the number one actress in China, once lost her temper on the set when filming "The Last Emperor". The working meals eaten by the mainland staff on the set were not the same.  The steamed buns, water, and pickles cost 1 yuan, and the Hong Kong staff ate fish and meat for 50 yuan. Liu Xiaoqing, who was fierce and righteous, flipped the table and told the director that I would not act if the mainland staff had no meat to eat.

    Although Zhang Kaigang seems to have a path in Hollywood, how much respect can he get from Hong Kong film professionals is just that. Cheng Xiaodong suddenly heard that Zhang Kaigang wanted to take the lead in the project, and his first reaction was that it was a bit funny.

    Even if the Hong Kong films these days are shoddy, films like "Ancient and Modern War between the Qin Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty" require millions of Hong Kong dollars to be invested in each film. Mainland film studios only have a few dollars a year. Cheng Xiaodong approached Zhang Kaiggang to invest in it just because he wanted to invest.  The mosquito legs are just meat or they are just trying to make up for it, but they are not mentally prepared to really get big money.

    Zhang Kaigang has also experienced capitalism in the United States and is not an ordinary person. Naturally, he understands how much appetite he has to eat. If you want to take the initiative, of course you must let the other party see your support.

    The fact that the twins gave Zhang Kaigang the support to fight for project control may not be a big deal elsewhere, but it is absolutely shocking on Hong Kong Island.

    Two million Hong Kong dollars?It¡¯s not unusual for a pager to be inserted into an advertisement to covertly bring money into the cast. What is strange is that Zhang Kaigang promised that for the modern plot part of "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors", the crew can freely choose the properties owned by Island Land to serve as the set, and can call Jardine at will.  Its luxury cars serve as props.

    It¡¯s all free!!!

    This news has really shocked Hong Kong film professionals. Many Hong Kong film crews cannot even afford to rent villas, let alone first-line properties located in the prime areas of Hong Kong Island around Victoria Bay. That is not what the film crews have.  A place where you can get money.

    In Cheng Xiaodong's plan, the modern plot of "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" is planned to be set in Japan. This is also to please the Japanese film market after the film is released.

    Of course, in order to save costs, the crew cannot go to Japan to select locations. In addition to using free Hong Kong Island street scenes instead, the crew will go to a public building near the Kowloon Walled City to shoot. That place is a famous slum on Hong Kong Island. There is nothing except free of charge.  It can be related to the international metropolis of Japan.

    In fact, the movie "Ancient and Modern War" also happens to be ruined by the modern plot. The country bumpkin-like location selection and costume accessories completely fail to show the quality of the developed capitalist countries in the East. The entire modern plot is more like a movie from  A bloody love drama on the edge of urban and rural areas.

    With the resources that the twins can mobilize, it is not easy to deal with Hong Kong filmmakers. They need money, land, clothes, and fashion.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    In fact, as the filming progressed, the Hong Kong people in the crew were almost frightened by Zhang Kaigang.

    Neither Liang Yuan nor the twins felt that this movie had the need to please the East, so the modern part of the plot was naturally changed back to Hong Kong Island. The heroine is the sole heir of a large business family and works in the first phase of the Exchange Plaza, the top office building on Hong Kong Island.  He lives on the top floor of a villa in the mid-level area of ??Hong Kong Island. He travels on Rolls-Royce, Bentley, and Gulfstream business jets, and his clothes are purchased by the Fengla brand, which is popular in both Germany and Germany.

    The modern part of "Ancient and Modern War", with the intervention of the twins, a pair of hidden and powerful producers, was completely shot into a fashion blockbuster similar to "The Devil Wears Prada" that reflects how the top Bai Fumei lives.  .

    "Kaigang, today's premiere is your big day, why did you come out alone?"

    There are no premieres in Hong Kong these days. You don¡¯t even have to guess, you know it¡¯s Liang Yuan¡¯s influence.

    Wearing a black backless dress, Gong Li carried a small Chanel handbag and walked out from behind Zhang Kaigang with a somewhat excited pace. Her tone was full of the happiness of a little woman.

    The six months since the filming of the film can be said to be the happiest and most shocking days of Gong Li's life. There is not much to say about the plot of the ancient costumes, except that the costumes are more exquisite and more in line with real history. When filming the modern plot, Gong Li's three views suffered.  An extremely violent impact.

    It turns out that life can still be like this, and rich people have so much happiness. After two months of filming modern dramas, Gong Li knew what the so-called princess life should be like, and the earthy smell from the mainland on her body also disappeared.  Completely dissipated at an astonishing speed.

    ¡°It¡¯s too noisy in there~¡±

    With the backing of Yihe and a large amount of resources poured into it, Zhang Kaigang has essentially obtained the right to direct in the crew. With various shocking practical behaviors as examples, Zhang Kaigang's authority within the crew has also been established.  Everyone knows that Director Zhang¡¯s approach is simply unfathomable.

    With the authority, the people below are naturally more discerning. Some people have long realized that although this premiere ceremony, which is unprecedented in Hong Kong film history, seems to be very successful, and all the well-known media in Hong Kong are present, Director Zhang should be at the peak of his life.  He was in peak condition, but looking at Director Zhang's expression gave people a feeling of uneasiness. If there wasn't something big going on here, the rest of the crew wouldn't believe it.

    Don¡¯t get close to the boss if he is upset. Otherwise, if you get angry and get sprayed, you will be unjustly accused.

    "Kaigang, you can't hide it from me. You were quite normal the day before yesterday. You looked very excited when talking about the premiere. You also said that this commercial film may be an important turning point in your director career. Since yesterday, I have  I find that you are becoming more and more absent-minded, what happened in the meantime?"

    After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Zhang Kaigang thought about the top-notch social reception in Hong Kong held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel not long ago, as well as the most tragic seduction incident in history that the Hong Kong media went crazy. He also thought about what happened yesterday.  I received a call from Gong Yun, the real housekeeper between the crew and Yihe, saying that the little princess might attend the premiere of "Ancient and Modern War between Qin Terracotta Warriors", which made Zhang Kai??Pay attention.

    Even if Zhang Kaigang is a nerd in the past few years, he knows that the three young men and women he has come into contact with are definitely extraordinary. Although Zhang Kaigang did not guess that the three of them were the co-founders of Yuanjia, he also knew that if he had given his career success in the past few years,  It was absolutely the only reason why Da Shunli found a reason to serve as the twins' film tutor.

    After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Kaigang felt that his two students might have the intention to come to the front desk and talk to Gong Li about the simple situation. It would not have any impact. The most important thing was that Zhang Kaigang was worried that Gong Li would accidentally offend someone. Zhang Kaigang knew very well that he  The looks of those two students simply surpassed all beauties, and they were born to arouse jealousy in women.

    "Xiaoli, I told you that I have two students in Shencheng."

    "Well, you said that you are the junior of the seniors in the film and television industry, but you don't have face to push it away, so you can only agree."

    "That's just an excuse. Time is limited. Let me tell you simply that the success of my career in the past few years, both in North America and China, is all thanks to these two students."

    "Don't say anything and don't be surprised. You have experienced it yourself for yourself. You may have heard a lot of sighs from Hong Kong movies about people with eyes on their heads."

    "Let's not mention North America for now. Just be able to mobilize the resources of the entire Jardine to serve the crew. You can experience it yourself. I won't say more about Jardine's status in Hong Kong Island."

    "Although the film "Ancient and Modern Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors" has Xu Xu's title of producer and producer, it is just to deceive outsiders. Everyone in the industry knows how capable Xu Xu is. In fact, the producer of the film  Those are my two students."

    "Don't ask about your background, or why you are so rich. I don't know some things. Xiaoli, I'm telling you so much, mainly because I'm worried that you might accidentally offend someone. I haven't told anyone. I  Those two students are so beautiful that they are the natural enemies of all the beauties in the world, and all beauties are shorter than them."

    "Xiao Li, don't curl your lips and there's no need to be jealous. I've been in the film industry for decades. I can still distinguish clearly what a beauty is and what a glamorous city is. You'll understand it all once you meet a real person. I  I can¡¯t even imagine how good a man must be to be worthy of her.¡±

    "Does Gong Yunxiaoli know?"

    "Yes, that's the Gong Yun you envy and admire. She is also the one who is usually responsible for coordinating the resources of Jardine and the crew's handover and running-in of filming."

    "Yesterday Gong Yun called me and said that the two little princesses might come to the movie premiere today and asked me to pay attention to the reception. Do you think I should be nervous?"

    Zhang Kaigang was also holding back a lot of things. He couldn't say many things normally, but this time he said it to Gong Li in one breath.

    Gong Li was always a top-notch person, and the news Zhang Kaigang said was so shocking that any dissatisfaction and jealousy in her heart were wiped away by Gong Li in the blink of an eye.

    Gong Li's negative emotions are gone, and her concern for her lover has become the focus of her emotions. Listening to the meaning behind Zhang Kaigang's words, her personal future has almost been decided with one word.

    "Hey, what should I do? When I was making movies, I lived the life of a fake princess. From what you said, Kai Gang, I live the life of a real princess."

    "Kaigang, let me wait here with you. I guess they won't be short of anything else. I'm afraid the only thing we can offer is sincerity."

    Gong Li¡¯s thoughts turned very quickly, and she caught the key points of the matter in a blink of an eye.

    Zhang Kaigang nodded and stood at the entrance of the cinema with Gong Li, paying attention to the luxury cars driving towards Central
