    "The Green Hornet" was finished on time, but no one was in the mood to hold a celebration party because the crew had to stay in the United States due to inspections.  / Zhou Xingxing re-shot the ending scene according to the script, but he edited the scene shot to create another ending, in which Bell looked at the burning World Trade Center and asked Zhou Xingxing: "Such a scene cannot make you change your decision."  "?" Zhou Xingxing nodded, and the two of them stepped forward towards the World Trade Center.  But after people from Columbia read this ending, they said it couldn¡¯t be used.  This is a very sensitive period, and Americans have also begun to censor their own thoughts.  Columbia was very worried that using the 9/11 incident as a scene would arouse the resentment of the American people, so Zhou Xingxing had to reshoot the ending scene according to the original arrangement.  However, this ending is not wasted. Columbia has the essence of businessmen. They plan to use the already filmed material to release a director's cut after the limelight has passed. Even if the film is very popular, it will be released on the tenth or twentieth anniversary.  Maybe it can be converted into 3D and shown again on the anniversary.  However, the crew of "The Green Hornet" had to stay in the United States for a while.  Although usually everyone still hopes to visit the Country of Hope, but after 911 happened in the world, the Country of Hope no longer has the name of the Country of Hope. At this time, the entire country looks miserable and has too much energy.  Powerful people are already clamoring for revenge.  The masses began to feel insecure. More than once, Miyamoto and the others saw someone pulling out a gun and looking around on the street. This scared the Japanese and Hong Kong people to death.  Coupled with their Asian appearance, they always feel out of place among American people.  Although Kasuga has repeatedly contacted Colombia, it is simply impossible for the U.S. aviation industry to organize sufficient capacity in a short period of time.  Colombia can only say that it is willing to host the crew and start the post-production of the film, but the specific release time is still far away.  Shen Zhenghui himself knew that the time of 9/11 was China¡¯s best period of strategic opportunity. Previously, a series of events from Yugoslavia to the South China Sea showed that the Americans had begun to press forward step by step and regard China as their biggest opponent.  But 911 broke their expectations.  It has drawn the attention of Americans from East Asia to the west to Afghanistan and Iraq.  It is no wonder that after the top leader learned about the time of 911, he immediately called George W. Bush and gave the most direct support to the proposal to combat terrorism around the world. Of course.  Americans reciprocated the favor.  Jiang has always given the title of terrorist organization to the organization causing trouble in western China. ????????????????? It actually doesn¡¯t matter what Americans think.  After all, we are the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. We can only look at the other party's face when doing things. Is it possible to still count on the other party's help when doing things?  Verbal support is enough.  The Bush administration, which was originally a weak government, suddenly turned into a strong military government, and the American war machine began to rumble again.  However, this time the supreme leader played a trick. When talking to the President of the United States, he seemed to inadvertently mentioned that there was a Chinese film crew currently stranded in the United States. Members of the crew were about to participate in the 10th Film Festival held in Yongcheng, China.  At the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, he said that if it is convenient for the United States, China can send a plane to pick up the crew back to China.  Bush Jr. naturally agreed and refused to let China send planes. Instead, the United States arranged planes to go to China.  The two also talked on the phone about the upcoming APEC meeting in Shanghai. President Bush expressed that he was very much looking forward to this visit to China.  After hanging up the phone, George W. Bush handed over the task of sending the Chinese crew home to his cabinet members. This was another moment of turmoil because Bush didn't even ask what the crew's name was.  So a group of people made a round of calls to the heads of several major Hollywood companies, and finally found out that this crew was the crew of "The Green Hornet" from Colombia. Their members were not only Chinese but also Japanese.  Now the Americans are a little dumbfounded. According to their previous understanding, all these people should be packed up and sent to Pingjing or Urhai. However, this includes how to deal with the Japanese. It seems inappropriate to just send away the Chinese.  So they came up with a genius idea, packing these people and sending them to Hong Kong. How you leave after that is none of our business.  So the crew quickly received the news that they would be able to take a special plane to Hong Kong immediately, and then they could decide by themselves whether to go to Japan or the mainland.  The crew members were a little confused when they received the news and didn¡¯t know what was going on.  The Colombian staff knew that this incident had alarmed the president, and they were also surprised. For a moment, Haruhi's background seemed a little too mysterious.  ¡°Actually, only Zhou Xingxing among the crew was invited to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.  After "Shaolin Football", he and the mainland film industry?Relationships, especially those between several big bosses, were somewhat tense. He himself knew this and had to put aside his dignity to participate in some activities in the mainland film industry in order to ease the relationship.  Being stranded in the United States this time, I thought I would not be able to make it to the film festival. Although there were objective reasons, others will hate you and ignore your hardships.  This time things turned around, and Zhou Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.  Miyamoto and the others were relieved. According to the plan, the editing and post-production of the film should be done in Japan, or at least in Hong Kong, because the costs in these two places are much lower than in the United States.  Originally, what I thought about when I was stranded in the United States was that I had to edit and post-produce in the United States, and the cost went up. Now I can go back to Japan to produce, so I can save a lot of money, and at the same time, Kasuga can also reimburse more accounts. This is really a killing two birds with one stone.  .  On the other hand, Shen Zhenghui also received an invitation from the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival. In fact, his "Assembly" (top) (bottom) was released in 2001. This time, his work was not nominated at all in the film festival. "Black Fist"  " was released, but it was impossible for this kind of film to get a title in this kind of film festival, so he got the status of an award guest.  This just meets Shen Zhenghui¡¯s recent needs.  During this time, he had no intention of calculating the huge profits he was about to get with Mitsumi Fukuda, and he was fed up with having to bring a group of bodyguards with him wherever he went, and being criticized by Japanese TV and tabloids.  In other words, he couldn't stand the Japanese environment and was tired of worrying about possible assassinations.  The invitation to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival just gave him a chance to relax.  Of course, bodyguards are still indispensable, but Shen Zhenghui feels that his safety factor has suddenly increased to a very high level when he sets foot on Chinese soil.  He even flew directly to Puhai without going through Hong Kong.  Then transfer to a bus to reach Yongcheng, Wuyue Province.  Zhou Xingxing also arrived in Yongcheng.  The organizing committee's reception for celebrities can only be described as average. People like Zhou Xingxing would inevitably feel a bit cold-shouldered, and for people like Shen Zhenghui, who had four bodyguards with him and several bodyguards watching from the outside.  It doesn't matter whether you are treated warmly or coldly.  The people sent by the organizing committee for communication and coordination were stunned by Shen Zhenghui's style.  The result was that Shen Zhenghui and Zhou Xingxing jointly presented the award for the best TV movie.  As expected, domestic film festivals are still irregular.  Walking the red carpet was almost a formality, but the appearance of Zhou Xingxing and Shen Zhenghui still attracted many viewers in Yongcheng, especially Zhou Xingxing wearing a black suit.  When he came out wearing a tie, the young people onlookers roared and clapped.  In comparison, Shen Zhenghui pales in comparison. It took a lot of effort for him to convince his bodyguard that his safety was guaranteed, and he was allowed to walk on the red carpet alone. Neither of them brought a female companion.  This can also be said to be a major mistake in the arrangement of the organizing committee. If they were mature, they would have known how many women were willing to hold the arms of these two men and come out to take pictures for reporters for free.  Zhou Xingxing and Shen Zhenghui are quite stylish, waving, posing, and interacting enthusiastically with movie fans.  Under the limelight of the two of them, the others had to cheer up and stop being perfunctory at the beginning.  However, Shen Zhenghui didn't know most of the film workers personally. Many of them were not in the commercial film system, so Shen Zhenghui looked around and found that Brother Biao's face was the one he was most familiar with, and most of the others were unknown to him.  He and Zhou Xingxing finished walking the red carpet, signed autographs, and then walked into the awards hall. At this moment, it was a bit messy, and everyone was talking together in groups of twos and threes.  Shen Zhenghui chatted with Zhou Xingxing about the filming of "Green Hornet". In fact, the editing rights of "Green Hornet" were not in Zhou Xingxing's hands at all. His job was to finish filming the movie and hand over other things.  Fortunately, thanks to Shen Zhenghui's efforts, Kasuga was able to edit the film. Shen Zhenghui promised Zhou Xingxing that the final editing effect of the film must be confirmed by Zhou Xingxing himself. In fact, the final editing was mainly done by Miyamoto.  , Shen Zhenghui is still confident.  But at this time, people were coming up to greet Shen Zhenghui and Zhou Xingxing.  Shen Zhenghui made two "Assembly" movies this year. Under this special situation, he broke the box office record of domestic movies in one fell swoop, achieved great commercial success, and also greatly expanded the themes and fields of theme movies.  , and the way of shooting.  As a result, everyone in the film industry is in danger. Not only the directors of commercial films are jealous, but also a group of directors of artistic films and directors within the system are feeling unhappy.  In particular, this guy did not join the domestic film industry at all. He was not even a film major. After graduating from Ningping University, he started acting and making movies in Japan, and he became famous in Asia casually.  , the box office record set exceeded that of the countryThe box office of all movies in the past year, and the first person to return to China to make a movie actually broke the record for domestic movies.  It's really like comparing people to death, comparing goods and throwing away goods.  My colleagues in the film industry have been holding back their anger and have nowhere to vent their anger. The most annoying thing is that this guy is extremely rich. When he was filming "Assembly", he spent 100 million yuan to make the movie. Everyone thought he was  When someone was taken advantage of, they succeeded, and succeeded so dazzlingly that other people in the film industry felt like fools. They had been in the film industry for nothing all these years, and they could not compare to an outsider.  Of course, there are also those who stick to their position and ignore Shen Zhenghui.  But not all people are so courageous. There are also many people who want to take advantage of this opportunity to have a relationship with Shen Zhenghui and get close to each other.  It would be best to get money from him.  So Shen Zhenghui was surprised to find that several well-known top directors in China also attended this event. A few of them even came up to greet him with smiles and chat with him.  Because "Assembly" was released this year, there is no possibility of winning an award at all. Shen Zhenghui's relaxed attitude will not evoke any kind of association.  Director Feng seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Xingxing. He stepped forward to say hello to Shen Zhenghui and then pulled Zhou Xingxing aside and the two of them got together to talk.  Director Zhang¡¯s smile was a little shy. He first complimented Shen Zhenghui, saying that "Assembly" set a new benchmark and was the first domestic blockbuster.  For such a compliment.  Shen Zhenghui felt a little embarrassed.  He had taken away the title of creator of blockbusters from Director Zhang, but in his mind, perhaps because he was too deeply impressed by later generations, he really didn't think that 100 million yuan was too much money.  I saw that Shen Zhenghui was very talkative.  Director Zhang expressed his thoughts.  He also wants to make a blockbuster movie.  The theme is similar to Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin.  When he was talking about his thoughts, Director Chen on the side didn¡¯t seem to have the right expression.  Director Zhang said that what he wanted to show was not the entire historical scene. He wanted to show the assassin's superb skills through the visual sense.  This is also a novel idea.  Shen Zhenghui naturally went through the scenes that Director Zhang will shoot in the future in his mind, but apart from those dazzling scenes, Shen Zhenghui felt that the entire film was lackluster, especially the ending, which can be described as a scam.  Shen Zhenghui simply didn't expect how naive his mind would be to end in such a way.  But although I made money, I still made money.  This guy is obviously stimulated.  Shen Zhenghui thought to himself that Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an award in Hollywood. The success of this Chinese made the mentality of other Chinese, especially the Chinese, begin to become unbalanced. They were no longer satisfied with making small fuss.  Art awards are self-rewarding.  Thinking of gaining commercial success and recognition, Director Zhang took the first step to try to gain the upper hand. However, the traces of these people were too old-fashioned, and it was very difficult to transform. Director Zhang's future works, in Shen Zhenghui's opinion, were basically  None of his films have been successful (regardless of the box office). All of his films have demonstrated his profound skills as a photographer, including the extremely vulgar "Three Shots".  Seeing Director Zhang mentioning his new film in front of him, Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but think - should I invest some money?  Or shouldn't I invest some money?  Fortunately, Director Zhang is quite reserved and feels that he should not take a stand before others in this situation and should give others time to consider.  He said something that he would like to have a chance to discuss in detail and walked away.  So Director Chen on the side came over to chat again. He also had great ideas and wanted to make a blockbuster about love and hatred. Director Chen agreed with Shen Zhenghui in that he realized that he should try to use international actors to achieve success.  International market, so in his plan, it is best for top stars from China, Japan and South Korea to participate in the production of his new film, so that he can gain a huge market.  Director Chen was not talking to Shen Zhenghui about investment, but about distribution. He has a close relationship with Japanese capital. In 1998, he filmed "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" with Japanese financial support. He also has channels in Hong Kong, but Kasuga's  The path is obviously wider, and it is entering Hollywood.  Shen Zhenghui said that the issue of issuance could be discussed, so Director Chen left with confidence.  After a long time, Director Feng and Zhou Xingxing came back. Director Feng seemed very happy. He made it clear that he was here for Shen Zhenghui. Zhou Xingxing was his good brother. He was planning to film "Big Shot" and he really wanted to land it.  Japanese market.  Zhou Xingxing helped.  Shen Zhenghui was a little bit dumbfounded. He felt that he seemed to have a certain status in the country, and these top directors came to him to handle things.  "Big Shot" is a good film, even a divine film, but it is still difficult to say whether it can meet the Japanese aesthetics.  ?This is a film invested and filmed by Huayi BrothersThe film has Columbia's financial background. Logically speaking, Director Feng doesn't have to worry about the box office issue at all, but how can the director who gets a share of it think the box office is low?  The most dazzling part of Shen Zhenghui's series of auras is his box office performance in Japan, as well as Kasuga's distribution channels and theaters in Japan.  This is something that others don¡¯t have.  Shen Zhenghui can only temporarily say that he will consider this issue, saying that as long as there is money to be made, Kasuga will definitely not refuse this kind of cooperation.  Director Feng also felt that he had achieved his goal, and then he started talking about cooperation.  Cooperation is an eternal topic, because no one is self-sufficient. Even American Hollywood has to consider what the audience in the Chinese market likes when necessary. Director Feng¡¯s purpose of cooperation is very simple. Most of the films he shoots are commercial films.  , a male star whose favorite thing is box-office appeal, has been tied to Uncle Ge all year round, sometimes out of necessity.  There are only a few people in the country who can have this kind of appeal, not to mention that they are all used to cooperation - the society of human relations.  Director Feng also covets the film resources in Hong Kong and Japan, but at the moment he can't come up with a specific cooperation plan at all. He is not the boss yet, so he can only roughly state his intention. Through this relationship, when the time comes,  When we really have cooperation, we can become familiar with each other.  After Shen Zhenghui finally dealt with these people, he watched the film festival begin to open and began the process of awarding awards in a streamlined manner.  (To be continued)
