    It wasn't until he returned to Hong Kong that Zhou Xingsheng finally understood why Liang Xiangning called him suddenly. The reason was not because of him and Wang Jiajia, but because he was preparing for the filming of "Titanic" in Hollywood, USA.  Li Jiaxin, the great beauty on the mission.

    The cause of the matter has to start with his movements in the United States.

    The day after he arrived in Shanghai, DreamWorks Film Company held a press conference. Xu Xiaoming attended the press conference together with Johnson, James Cameron, Li Jiaxin and others.  At the press conference, Xu Xiaoming announced DreamWorks' plan to shoot the film "Titanic" and revealed that the total investment will not be less than 100 million US dollars.

    As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Hollywood, USA. Major film companies commented on this, either shouting wolf, or pouring cold water on it.  There is no doubt that most film companies are speaking out against DreamWorks' massive investment in "Titanic."

    MGM, the most glorious film company in history, declared: "There is no doubt that DreamWorks will pay the price for its arrogance and rashness."

    Paramount, the oldest one, said: "Is this young guy from DreamWorks actually trying to challenge a $100 million blockbuster? Is he crazy? Or is the world crazy? DreamWorks will definitely pay the price."

    "The fledgling DreamWorks invested US$100 million to make a blockbuster. Did Manager Xu from Hong Kong make a mistake? Or did we hear it wrong? Ah ha, we must have heard the funniest joke of this century!"  Columbia Pictures, which was recently acquired by Sony, made a lot of mocking laughter. Sony, which is also an Asian company, showed no mercy in dealing with DreamWorks from Hong Kong.

    "A filmmaker from Hong Kong announced a US$100 million investment in filming the Titanic, the silent Century Cruises ship at the beginning of the last century. This is really good news that allows us to remember history. However, we have to worry about this. Just now  Can the established DreamWorks be able to support this heavy burden? Its shoulders are still so fragile!" Universal Pictures did not make sarcastic remarks, but everyone can see its contempt for "DreamWorks".

    "The Chinese are here. They want to spend 100 million US dollars to shoot a shipwreck movie. Hollywood, are you ready?" Warner Bros. said in an exaggerated threat and implicit sarcasm.

    The storm spread throughout the United States the next day, from east to west, from south to north.

    Major media and newspapers have commented one after another, including many heavyweight newspapers in the United States, such as the "New York Daily News", "New York Daily News", "Los Angeles Times", and even the "Washington Post" which reports almost full-page politics.  A lengthy review was made on this matter.

    "The Washington Post" has been criticized for the fact that most of its news is about politics, but it has never changed its purpose.  This incident was unexpectedly reported.  It¡¯s not that this matter has caused a stir throughout the United States and has reached the point where it has to be reported, but it is also related to a political event.

    The Washington Post published a commentary article: " Regardless of the outcome of DreamWorks' film investment plan this time, we can all see the fact that as the process of world economic integration accelerates, capital tends to outflow.  The speed has increased significantly, and Asian regions with low economic levels have begun to take off. Among them, the economies of Japan and Hong Kong have developed particularly rapidly. This can be seen from the fact that they have developed to the point where capital can begin to counterattack the US market. Here, we can fully predict the future.  The Asian economy will surely become the new engine of the world economy, if"

    "The New York Daily News" started out as a vulgar and vulgar news source. Although it is gradually improving its quality, it still cannot change its nouveau riche nature.  The tone is arrogant: "to shoot a shipwreck movie with 100 million US dollars, we have to wonder, are the people of Hong Kong so rich that they can spend hundreds of millions of dollars? To quote a Japanese saying. This must be the first time in this century  The funniest joke, we can¡¯t wait to watch that bastard who doesn¡¯t take US dollars as money go back to Hong Kong in despair!¡±

    Only the New York Daily News, which once reported on the "Titanic" silence incident, wrote a commentary that sincerely supported DreamWorks and Zhou Xingsheng.

    "The New York Daily News" said: "The silence of the Titanic is a major tragedy in human history. I am glad that DreamWorks can invest 100 million US dollars to film it, so that we can re-remember history and remember the lessons of history.  Let the tragedy happen again Many people are not optimistic about DreamWorks' filming plan. They all agree that the investment cost of 100 million US dollars is too huge, and a slight mistake will be catastrophic. However, we should see that the director of the film  It's James Cameron. He is a talented director who has never let us down. From "Terminator" to "Abyss" to "Terminator 2", he has?His unique film style has made the world crazy about it"

    ¡­¡­

    The above is the reaction of the United States after DreamWorks announced that it will invest no less than 100 million US dollars to film "Titanic".

    The world is integrated, but before the Internet truly achieves globalization, there is still a time difference in news from around the world.

    Even so, the sensational reaction from the United States quickly spread back to Hong Kong, and immediately detonated the entire Hong Kong, the media industry, the entertainment industry, and even the entire Hong Kong society.

    "Ming Pao" sang its praises: "If the decision to acquire a film company in the United States and rename it DreamWorks was entertainment tycoon Zhou Xingsheng's official announcement of his entry into Hollywood, then investing US$100 million in the filming of "Titanic" should be  This is the beginning of Zhou Xingsheng¡¯s announcement that he will truly enter the global film industry! We have reason to believe that in the hands of Zhou Xingsheng, Hong Kong films will move towards a more glorious future and truly go global!¡±

    "Sing Tao Daily" is also singing its praises: "a massive investment of US$100 million is unprecedented. This is the beginning of Hong Kong film's true independence to the world. We should believe and firmly believe that Hong Kong film has a more brilliant future"

    Other newspapers, especially some medium-term newspapers and tabloids, even touted Zhou Xingsheng's success in Hollywood, even though Zhou Xingsheng had just acquired a film company and invested in "Titanic".

    But, it doesn¡¯t matter, if a Chinese can achieve significant results in the European and American markets, no matter what the actual influence is, all Chinese people will be proud of him!

    In later generations, so many stars actually won some film awards abroad and had no actual influence at all. However, as soon as they returned to China, they were immediately dubbed "international superstars" by the media; or in sports events, such as basketball  Teams and football teams, domestic athletes in the past only played as substitutes, or even sat on the bench every day, but they were still "superstars" in the country and were widely sought after by fans.

    This situation is basically the same as the treatment received by celebrities and athletes in later generations.

    The mainstream view in Hong Kong is that Zhou Xingsheng has brought glory to the country this time, and it is also a symbol of Hong Kong movies going global. Hong Kong movies should have a more brilliant future!

    Of course, some media calmly expressed that caution is needed. The representative was Wen Wei Po, which published a commentary article saying: "Although the investment plan for this film is as high as 100 million U.S. dollars, and the investor is entertainment tycoon Zhou Xingsheng, we are more  It should be noted that the film this time is "Titanic", a true story from the European and American world, and it is essentially a Hollywood-like film. The author believes that when the Hong Kong story can be made into a Hollywood blockbuster, that will be  This should be the beginning of Hong Kong films officially entering the world. Moreover, we should realize that the cost of an investment of US$100 million is too huge and not everyone can afford it"

    ¡­¡­

    With these kinds of media comments, DreamWorks Pictures has become famous all over the world, and words such as "Zhou Xingsheng" and "Xu Xiaoming" have also resounded around the world. Countless people are crazy about it and worship it.

    Of course, this is just the view of the Hong Kong media. In the eyes of senior people in the entertainment industry and Hong Kong's wealthy groups, such as Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Huang Baiming, Hong Jinbao, Li Chaoren, Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong and others, Zhou Xingsheng is really a  Too big.  Spending $100 million to shoot a shipwreck movie, whether the director is James Cameron or Spielberg, involves huge risks.

    It¡¯s very simple. If the current movie, even a Hollywood blockbuster, can reach a total global box office of 100 million US dollars, this movie will be a very popular blockbuster.

    And now, the investment alone is as high as 100 million US dollars, and Xu Xiaoming said at the press conference that it is no less than 100 million US dollars!  This also means that the total global box office must be at least four to five times US$100 million before Zhou Xingsheng's investment can be recovered. Otherwise, it will lose money. You can imagine the difficulty.

    Of course, Zhou Xingsheng forgot all the above after seeing it. He didn't care at all.

    Zhou Xingsheng only cares about one thing, and that is the scandal about him that is currently spreading in Hong Kong. There are two protagonists in the scandal, one is him, and the other is Li Jiaxin who is far away in the United States. They are all discussing that he and Li Jiaxin must be having an affair.  Otherwise, why not bring other actors to Hollywood, but only Li Jiaxin?

    In Hong Kong, some media even openly reported that Li Jiaxin was being kept by him, so Li Jiaxin came all the way to win the Miss Asia title, and now she has entered Hollywood, starring in a Hollywood blockbuster with a huge investment of 100 million US dollars!

    Zhou Xingsheng was dumbfounded, and finally understood why Liang Xiangning asked him in a roundabout way whether he was a domestic flower.The fragrance still smells like wild flowers.

    "Wife, you know, I only love you!" Zhou Xingsheng sat next to Liang Xiangning and showed his attentiveness. He also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Liang Xiangning did not target Wang Jiajia, otherwise the secret would definitely be exposed.

    Liang Xiangning took the rose from him with a smile on her face and said happily: "Forget it!"

    Zhou Xingsheng sighed secretly, leaned over and kissed her face apologetically, stretched out his arms to hold her waist, and said: "Wife, I will treat you well all my life. No matter what happens, you must  Leave me, otherwise I really don¡¯t know what to do.¡± (To be continued¡­)
