    Shen Zhenghui landed in Hong Kong again, and his mood was very different from when he left.  ¡è Of course, when he left Hong Kong, he also left with confidence, but before the cards were revealed, no matter how confident he was, Shen Zhenghui still felt a little apprehensive.  There is obviously nothing to worry about in Europe, but if he encounters Waterloo in the United States, it will be a huge blow to his own self-confidence.  Fortunately, the one in 10,000 chance event did not occur, and "Taken" did as well as expected at the box office.  This does not mean that there will be no problems, and there will be endless publicity in the later period.  Colombia lobbied for sequel filming issues, copyright split agreements, etc. When Shen Zhenghui got on the plane flying back to Hong Kong, he was really relieved. At the same time, the three women with him were also relieved.  The most tiring person is of course Maya Ozawa. She has read more documents and dealt with more agreements during this period than she has ever seen before. If Inoue Satsuki hadn't completely acted as her secretary and translator in the end,  Maya Ozawa didn't know how she survived being buried in the pile of documents.  In comparison, Todo Orange had a much easier time.  Of course, this is just the prejudice of the other two women. Toudo Xiangcheng's fearful efforts in protecting Shen Zhenghui's safety are no less than the hard work of others.  "It's a pity that the United States is safe enough, and Shen Zhenghui has not shown any danger.  The only danger is probably that at the invitation of the San Francisco Consulate, he went to the consulate to participate in activities, meet with representatives of Chinese Americans, entrepreneurs, and international students in the United States, and attended the consulate's reception to help the consulate's platform.  After the news was learned by the local illegal anti-government organizations, illegal organizations gathered outside the consulate that day to protest.  As a representative figure in the literary and art circles who has met the former national core and the current national core, Shen Zhenghui also received high-level treatment.  However, the illegal organizations seem to know a little about the United Front strategy, and their banners do not only attack the government regime.  He actually persuaded Shen Zhenghui to abandon the dark side and join the bright side, and persuade him to fall into the arms of the so-called American father and Japanese son.  In response to such protests, Shen Zhenghui could only laugh or cry.  The consulate and the CCTV reporters who were there to record the incident were quite nervous. However, after being in a foreign country for a long time, people have become human beings. Those who came to participate in the platform activities turned a blind eye to the farce outside the consulate and turned a deaf ear.  Finally, the Los Angeles police responded to repeated urging from the consulate.  The protesters who came out to clear the area and finished their work left the area in a professional manner under the watchful eye of the police.  The consul then relaxed and chatted and laughed with Shen Zhenghui, complimenting him that he was the pride of the Chinese people.  In the end, the news about the consulate was actually broadcast on CCTV's news network. The film directed by Shen Zhenghui, a Chinese, was a great success in Hollywood. The global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars. When the CCTV anchor announced it with a joyful and proud voice,  The whole of China was stunned by this data.  The introduction of Taken is clearly imminent.  What upset the entire film industry was that Shen Zhenghui went to Hollywood without him.  "Assembly" and "Shanghai Fortress" were like short-acting stimulants, which stimulated them for a while. As a result, passionate filmmakers followed suit and died miserably. The box office of the movie in 2003 did not increase much compared with that of 2002. The contribution of  The main force is actually Shen Zhenghui. "Shanghai Fortress" occupies more than one-third of the domestic box office, and it has single-handedly increased its market share by more than 50%.  Domestic directors couldn¡¯t help but start wailing, but Director Zhang just let it go.  After all, he is considered the leader of the fifth generation of directors, and has become a big player in China with his rich resume and experience.  "Hero" in 2002 announced his strength in commercial films, but now, Shen Zhenghui has inexplicably raised expectations for commercial films, causing more and more investors to raise their standards. They always use Shen Zhenghui to make excuses.  Domestic directors are becoming more and more miserable.  Many people began to ask when Shen Zhenghui would be able to return to China to film.  Is there any investment required?  These people have sharp antennae but do not yet understand the situation well.  Those who can cooperate with Shen Zhenghui in China are big players, such as China Film and Polytechnics, and private companies are at least the level of Wang Brothers Pictures. Domestic directors still live under the pressure of investors' unrealistic expectations.  .  But under the stimulation of Director Zhang and Shen Zhenghui.  Director Feng, once a leading commercial director, bravely stepped forward and announced his plan for a domestic blockbuster, "The Night Banquet."  Director Feng, who was deeply stimulated by Director Zhang and Shen Zhenghui, has obviously accelerated the progress of his work. After releasing "Cell Phone" at the beginning of the year, he will release a new film "A World Without Thieves" during the Christmas season.  Director Feng announced his plans for a new film at the promotional press conference for "A World Without Thieves".  "Cell Phone" can be considered a very profitable film. The production cost was 7 million yuan, and the final box office reached 50 million yuan, which can be regarded as a huge profit.  "A World Without Thieves" Investment SuccessThe original budget was 30 million yuan, and the box office reached 120 million yuan, but product placement alone earned 40 million yuan. It can be said that the cost was recovered before the movie was broadcast.  The Wang brothers made a lot of money from these two films.  However, people compare themselves to each other, and goods are compared. Seeing that Director Zhang released the film in the United States, the cost and income were calculated in US dollars, and Shen Zhenghui distributed the film globally, and the box office earned was calculated in hundreds of millions, Director Feng's restless heart started to move.  His reputation as the best commercial film director in the country is by no means unearned. Through his own observations of so-called domestic blockbusters, he felt that if this was the model, in addition to outsourcing the necessary special effects, he seemed to be able to do it himself.  So with the support of the equally red-eyed Wang brothers, the plan for "The Night Banquet" was put forward while the iron was hot.  Of course, this is also based on the box office success of "A World Without Thieves". Director Feng has tasted the sweetness of the combination of Hong Kong and Taiwan idol stars and powerful mainland actors. Although he cannot achieve the international lineup of Director Zhang, he can put together one  There is still no pressure on Asia¡¯s outstanding lineup.  Director Chen, who is good at art films, is not idle either. After his long vacation, Director Chen returned to work in the film industry with his jealousy of commercial film directors.  At this time, the concept of a blockbuster film was very popular due to the achievements of Director Zhang and Shen Zhenghui.  All well-established directors are wondering what their blockbuster model will be, having just come out of political films.  Directors who have not yet formed the concept of commercial films due to their ideological emancipation will soon have to pursue the concept of commercial blockbusters, which is a bit overwhelming for them.  Director Chen, who has broadened his horizons and gained international recognition, obviously also brings his own thinking model.  Director Zhang has used top Chinese actors, a path that is difficult to replicate; Director Feng has tried to use mature Hong Kong directors in commercial films to lead mainland actors, a path he himself is trying to explore.  Shen Zhenghui is not a conventional example, as Director Chen understands.  He seems to have no barriers to integrating into other cultures. Director Chen came to the conclusion after observing successful examples such as "Shanghai Fortress", "Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incidents" and "Hurricane Rescue". These three themes are completely  There are no boundaries, but Shen Zhenghui seemed to be able to direct these three films with ease, expressing various completely different psychology clearly enough to capture the hearts of the corresponding audiences.  Director Chen¡¯s final research reluctantly came to the conclusion that the screenwriter Shen Zhenghui relied on was too powerful. He only needed to transform the screenwriter¡¯s intention into the picture, so he was able to have such a variety of styles. He himself was a converter.  This is a mature commercial director.  Otherwise, it is completely impossible to explain his ability.  Of course, even with this explanation, it is difficult to explain why Shen Zhenghui's style is so changeable and appropriately consistent with the themes of his movies.  However, since Director Chen couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it. He himself also has an international background. The blockbuster style he envisioned was very different from Director Zhang and Director Feng. He wanted to use true internationalization to achieve commercialization.  Before returning home.  Director Chen specially went to Japan and South Korea to participate in a series of film art seminars, most of which were organized by relevant government agencies and civil society groups.  Held in film schools and film and television groups, Director Chen began to promote his film concepts at these seminars. According to him, he wanted to integrate the East Asian film market into a whole and strengthen film exchanges within the East Asian region.  Through these activities, he extensively visited well-known filmmakers, film and television stars.  Build momentum for your new film and promote that your new film will bring together stars from China, Japan and South Korea in East Asia to create an excellent film.  Because of Director Chen¡¯s fame, this kind of publicity has also been noticed by interested people in Japan and South Korea.  Director Chen also sought investment in Japan and South Korea. In order to ensure distribution, he also visited Kasuga Pictures, the so-called most friendly film distribution company to China.  It¡¯s a pity that Shen Zhenghui is not in Japan.  He went to America.  Even so, Mitsumi Fukuda condescended to meet with Director Chen for half an hour. Under the other's eloquent words, President Fukuda agreed in principle to help Director Chen with the distribution of films in Japan.  Help him arrange film distribution outside of Japan.  Director Chen also had some exchanges with the emerging Chinese director Lu Yang, but a director of an artistic film and a director of a commercial film could only talk to each other when they sat together.  On the other hand, Miyamoto is more interested in Director Chen, but Miyamoto has completely broken away from the category of literary films. After experiencing the influence of various major directors, and more and more, he is working with figures like Nasu Mushroom and Takeuchi Takashi.  His thoughts and interests seemed to have gone astray - in other words, he was gradually developing his own style.  The two people have completely different ideological levels, and neither has learned anything from the other.  Director Chen was quite puzzled. Neither of them seemed to have a deep understanding of movies. How could they make such a well-received movie?  ¡ª¡ªIs it true that the lower the level of a film director, the more popular his works will be???The snow is white in spring, the music is high and there are few, and there are many people from lower Liba who are harmonious?  If he thought this way, Director Chen felt that he would never be able to make a film with a good box office in his life, so he quickly dismissed this idea from his mind. However, he noticed one detail. Both directors emphasized the importance of the script.  In front of him, Miyamoto even complained about the hardships of working under Zhou Xingxing, who always changed the script or had no script.  Director Chen felt that he had grasped the core, and began to study his script day and night to ensure that every line had profound meaning and that the whole story had profound implications.  When Director Feng announced his new film project "The Banquet" and Director Zhang announced his new film project "House of Flying Daggers", Director Chen also announced his new film project "The Promise" in a high profile.  Three of the most famous directors still working in China have successively announced their new film plans, and they are blockbuster plans, which has made the mainland Chinese film industry feel excited.  It was against this background that Shen Zhenghui arrived in Hong Kong. He did not watch the domestic news.  I don¡¯t know if these three directors were stimulated by themselves.  But when he stepped off the plane in Hong Kong, he was shocked by the sea of ??paparazzi reporters in front of him.  Groups of reporters rushed up like they were surrounding a big star, and almost shoved the microphone into Shen Zhenghui¡¯s mouth.  At this time, the three bodyguards who had been following Shen Zhenghui finally played their role. The three barely blocked Shen Zhenghui, Ozawa Maya and Inoue Satsuki, but they were still shaken by the impact of the reporters.  In the end, airport security came to maintain order.  He barely managed to protect six people from being trampled to death.  Then Shen Zhenghui had to briefly answer the Hong Kong reporters (there seemed to be quite a few reporters from Mainland China and Taiwan). The reporters¡¯ questions were all directed at the US$400 million box office of "The Rescue". The questions they shouted included the following:  : "Mr. Shen, "The Rescue" has a global box office of 400 million. How much is your director's income? Is there a share? When will the sequel be filmed? Will you still direct? Will the actors be changed?" "Mr. Shen, in your case  Stimulated by the epidemic, three of the most famous directors in the Mainland have announced that they will start shooting domestic blockbusters. Are you optimistic about their actions? Can you predict the box office of these three films? " "Director Shen, I heard that you are planning to film in Hong Kong this time?  We are about to start filming a movie. I heard that the lead actor is Jack Cheng. Is this true? Can anyone tell us about the other actors? " "Director Shen, are these women the heroines of your new movie?  ? I heard that you have several girlfriends, is it true? Who are you planning to marry? " Shen Zhenghui, who agreed to answer the question, could only smile hard and pretend.  Looking confused, "What are you talking about? Can you say it one by one?" Finally, Xiang's family and Jack Cheng came in after picking up the plane, and the younger brothers they brought formed a quarantine zone.  Helped Shen Zhenghui and his party to escape from the scene smoothly, but the others were arranged into other cars.  Shen Zhenghui was taken into a car with Mr. Xiang, Jack Cheng and Boss Yang.  As soon as he got on the bus, Mr. Xiang said in a slightly complaining tone, "Mr. Shen, why don't you pay attention? You should go to the VIP channel. You didn't know that when the news came out that you were going to Hong Kong, the paparazzi in Hong Kong were going crazy.  ." Shen Zhenghui rubbed his face, "Am I already so famous in Hong Kong? I feel like I have become Keno Levis." Shen Zhenghui said.  "Now in Hong Kong, you are much more popular than him." Mr. Xiang said, "If I hadn't asked Zhu Xinghe and found out you were coming, you wouldn't have been able to leave the airport today." Jack Cheng introduced Boss Yang to Shen Zhenghui  .  "This is my good friend and partner." "Yang Shoucheng." Boss Yang responded to Shen Zhenghui's gaze with a gentle smile, and then shook hands with him, "Mr. Shen, first of all, I want to congratulate you on the success of your movie. I hope we can cooperate."  Pleasant." Mr. Xiang raised his eyebrows.  Shen Zhenghui smiled and shook Mr. Yang Shoucheng's hand, then looked at Mr. Xiang and Jack Cheng, "Have you two thought it through?" "Of course!" Jack Cheng replied quickly, "I'm very interested." "I am.  The original conditions remain unchanged," Shen Zhenghui responded, "Have the terms between you been settled?" "It's settled!" Yang Shoucheng hurriedly replied, "Except for your 40 million, we will give you the remaining money.  The winner will each offer 50 million, and other companies are also interested. We just want them to offer 10 million or 5 million." Jack Cheng hurriedly followed up and said, "In addition to the company, I personally can do it.  "Ten million more." Mr. Xiang raised his eyebrows, "I can also give ten million more." Shen Zhenghui clapped his hands, "I think this movie is worth it.""I can't afford that much money," he glanced at the expressions of the people present, and had no choice but to continue, "But the extra money can be used for distribution and promotion. Let's do this. The tentative investment amount is 200 million. I don't care about the rest.  Just take care of your own 40 million.  " Mr. Xiang coughed and said, "If it is to be distributed in mainland China, China Film Company cannot bypass it.  " Shen Zhenghui stretched out his hand and said, "Please go and talk, but the total amount is only so big, 200 million.  " Yang Shoucheng looked impatient. "This principle can be settled like this," he said, "We all have connections in the mainland, and there is no need for Mr. Shen to come forward. Can Mr. Shen consider candidates for other roles during this time?  There are many good young actors under our company. Mr. Shen can choose at will, and the price is easily negotiable.  " Mr. Xiang snorted, "I also have many actors under my banner.  " "We all cooperate and discuss it!  "Jack was trying to smooth things over, and then the next sentence revealed his tendency, "I think Nicholas Tse and twins are good," he said, "Daniel Wu is also very good, but Director Feng took a fancy to him and wanted him to  Going to shoot "The Night Banquet", there may not be a schedule.  " "Isn't Nicholas Xie going to film "The Promise" directed by Chen?  "Mr. Xiang said. "It's just an intention, the contract hasn't been signed yet," Yang Shoucheng responded hurriedly, "But isn't your Zhang Zhizhi going?  And is she no longer available?  " Mr. Xiang snorted angrily, "I didn't sign a contract either.  " Shen Zhenghui covered his face, "There's no rush," he said, "I'll wait until I read the script.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
