Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Originally, Hong Kong had no special meaning for Shen Zhenghui. Of course, if we insist on saying that his growth was influenced by popular culture, this influence should be from his previous life.  In this life, he does not have any special feelings for Hong Kong psychologically, but he still has special feelings for some Hong Kong characters, such as Zhou Xingxing, and Zhang Guorong.  At this time, Leslie Cheung was playing the role of a dull police officer who was favored by the exorcist empress under a certain Japanese director in Japan. After Zhou Xingxing realized his huge value, he became more and more reserved about the use of his talent. He was reluctant to continue for the time being.  He squandered his fame to shoot movies such as "Kung Fu 2" or "Green Hornet 2", and instead decided to shoot a movie to please children. This movie he did not cooperate with Hollywood and Kasuga Pictures, but financed it himself.  He cooperates with China Film, Kasuga and Columbia in terms of distribution. From this point of view, he is a boss material, but his talents are so paradoxically concentrated on him alone, which affects his development in any aspect.  .  However, Zhou Xingxing himself is already considered to be at the pinnacle of Hong Kong actors and directors. With his current achievements, he is not inferior to directors such as Jack Cheng, Ma Ge, and Wu Pak Ge, and is even better than them. He himself  Having too many ideas and being too full of pursuits is consuming yourself.  But in Hong Kong, many people can't even afford this kind of consumption, but "Infernal Affairs" can be regarded as a bailout production. It is not an exaggeration to even say that it is the pinnacle of Hong Kong films to some extent, but after the pinnacle, it fell helplessly.  The iron triangle of Director Liu, Director Mak, and Screenwriter Zhuang will prove in a few years that they can only survive in this small inlet of Hong Kong. If they want to make money, they really have to find markets outside Hong Kong.  .  Either cater to the mainland or go overseas.  Hong Kong¡¯s backbone is not strong at all, and it is impossible to create a style of its own.  Those who have style will either be left behind, while those who are talented and have their own abilities will find food outside of Hong Kong.  Therefore, Zhou Xingxing's success is particularly eye-catching, and almost the entire film industry is counting on him to start working and have some soup.  so.  Zhou Xingxing independently produced this movie called "Yangtze River No. 7" without cooperating with foreign companies, which instantly won praise from the Hong Kong film circle.  At the same time, news about Shen Zhenghui also hit the screens in Hong Kong.  Although Shen Zhenghui believes that Hong Kong is not his special place, he cannot stand up to his current status as the chairman of ATV. In addition, he has made several movies based on Hong Kong. When he really becomes developed, Hong Kong people will also emotionally identify with him.  One of our own.  This is a bit ironic. When he first acquired the TV station, many people opposed him because he was a mainlander.  Until now, he still holds a mainland passport, but Hong Kong people have turned around and recognized his identity as a Hong Kong citizen.  This is of course not just because of Asia Television¡¯s variety shows.  Sony, Columbia, and Kasuga are filming a movie with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars. If the mainland film industry still has some natural resistance to this news, people in the Hong Kong film industry can't help but drool after seeing the news.  come out.  In particular, ATV's news broadcast broadcast the news with a certain sense of pride, and explained in detail that the novel that was about to be adapted into a movie was the work of an author contracted by Shen Zhenghui's online station, and that it was based on the length of the novel.  There will definitely be more than one movie adaptation, that is if the profits are good.  There are still 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 episodes of movies with the same scale of investment. If all goes well, the total investment will exceed one billion US dollars.  Not only the filmmakers will drool after hearing this kind of news, but other business people and ordinary citizens will also be unable to help but think about it.  Thanks to Shen Zhenghui¡¯s many years of experience in making movies hit the charts in Asia, he has a high reputation in Taiwan, China and Taiwan.  Before, he was considered a lucky guy and a rich man, but now, in a sense, he was recognized by foreigners with 200 million US dollars.  His image in the hearts of yellow people suddenly grew taller.  And of course "Taken", a small production with an investment of more than 10 million US dollars, was not looked down upon.  Even the people in Taiwan began to worship him. Zhou Tianwang, who was picky about the schedule of "The Voice of Asia" because of the schedule of "Initial D", also publicly stated that he was a fan of Director Shen and looked forward to it very much.  There is an opportunity to collaborate with Director Shen.  Those artists who originally criticized the selection of mentors for "The Voice of Asia", and even said openly that they would not cooperate with ATV, suddenly seemed to have forgotten what they had said and started talking good things about ATV.  .  Everyone began to care more about other issues: Who will star in this US$200 million movie?  Will there be Chinese actors?  Where will this drama be filmed?  How to shoot?  When will it be released?  How was the $200 million spent?  Mr. Xiang, Yang Shoucheng, and even Jack Cheng were not in the mood at this time.Now let's think about how "New Police Story 2" should be filmed and who should be filmed. The entire entertainment industry is excited and noisy, even if the entire movie turns out to have nothing to do with the Chinese film industry.  The big guys started reading the novel "The Magic Apprentice" one after another, and began to think that the actor in it could be played by a Chinese actor with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin. Even if he wears contact lenses, dyes his hair, and bleaches his skin with makeup, it will be fine.  No, it doesn't matter if you don't show your face.  Those mixed-race actresses have not only attracted the attention of big bosses, but they themselves have also begun to pursue careers.  It was originally rumored that this story would be filmed in New Zealand, just like Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings". Sony and Columbia were responsible for the selection of actors, and Shen Zhenghui also had the power to make the final decision.  Mr. Xiang, Yang Shoucheng and the eldest brother couldn't help but contact each other. At this moment, the news suddenly changed again, and the final filming location was actually decided to be China.  Everyone felt like they had been teased, as if they were ready to travel to Paris, but after a detour, they were sent away in Algeria.  But the attraction of US$200 million has not diminished, and shooting in China seems to be psychologically closer to them for many people.  Yang Shoucheng finally couldn't help but encouraged Jack Cheng to call Shen Zhenghui. His idea was that his female star twins couldn't get supporting actresses to show their faces.  The maid is also nice.  You don¡¯t have to count on the male protagonist or supporting actor, but Nicholas Tse can act as a knight wearing a helmet. Even if he doesn¡¯t show his face, it¡¯s still good to have his body in the movie worth 200 million US dollars.  He didn't believe that Shen Zhenghui was so unkind. After all, ATV still wanted to take root in Hong Kong.  Of course, if he shirks it.  Then the favor will be recovered in the future, and the phone call will definitely make money anyway, so Yang Shoucheng encouraged Jack Cheng to make the call.  Jack has grown up, but he also knows that if he comes to make this call, no matter whether Shen Zhenghui gives him face or not, he will lose in terms of favor.  But he himself won't think too much. In a sense, the eldest brother is a little heartless, even if he knows that he owes a favor.  He doesn't care, he will think about paying it back to the other party next time. As for how to pay it back, and to what extent he can pay it back, he doesn't think so much.  Of course, he also had a certain degree of selfishness in making this call. When he worked with Shen Zhenghui before, Yang Shoucheng and his wife had advised him.  Ask him to make a good connection for his son.  At this moment, Jack Cheng wants to say that your film is a Western one, and I can¡¯t get into it.  I can always let my son in.  He also knew that Yang Shoucheng wanted to promote Yinghuang's stars, so he made the call carelessly.  After chatting for a few words, he almost got straight to the point and asked Shen Zhenghui if there were any Chinese characters in the movie "The Magic Apprentice". He wanted to recommend some young people to him.  Shen Zhenghui is having a headache for the protagonist. He is considering whether to find a man and a woman to play the twins of fate in future cross-dressing scenes. The protagonist Enlaike is a boy who is ugly but becomes a woman after cross-dressing.  It's really difficult to express it in the real world or in movies.  Although I know what Jack Cheng¡¯s call probably means.  But when he brought it up and talked about young people, Shen Zhenghui suddenly thought of a person - of course, he couldn't play the leading role.  But his personal temperament, skills, etc. are really suitable for playing a knight.  For example, Jerry's brother.  Shen Zhenghui is also having a headache about how to stuff Chinese faces into the movie. If the entire movie is about Caucasians, that's really not what he wants.  "What? You said you are going to use a Chinese actor for a supporting role?" Jack Cheng's exclamation made Yang Shoucheng on the side suddenly widen his eyes.  "Male or female?" Jack Cheng asked immediately.  "Male!" With this reply, Yang Shoucheng's pupils shrank sharply, then expanded, almost jumping.  "Is my son okay?" Jack Cheng's words almost made Yang Shoucheng fall from the air again.  "Huh? What? Can my son come over and do the drama?" Jack Cheng chuckled, "Why not, young man! Being by your side is a good time to study with you, and maybe he can also be a director in the future, yes, he  My English is really good, and I can speak Mandarin and Cantonese, but I can¡¯t speak Japanese. Okay, that¡¯s it. I¡¯ll let him work for you,¡± Jack Cheng said with a smile.  Yang Shoucheng felt as if his heart was being scratched by a cat. He finally couldn't help but ask, "Who does he want?" "Daniel Wu, of course there is no problem." Jack Cheng glanced at Yang Shoucheng again, "It takes a little longer, it doesn't matter.  It doesn¡¯t matter, he happened to be fine during this time. I asked him to audition.¡± When he heard the name Daniel Wu, Yang Shoucheng suddenly lost half of his enthusiasm.  He licked his lips and finally made a gesture with Jack Cheng, indicating that he also wanted to talk to Shen Zhenghui.    Jack Cheng said a few words to Shen Zhenghui about training young actors, and then said, "Director Shen, wait a minute, Mr. Yang also wants to talk to you." Yang Shoucheng took the phone and used a very affectionate tone.  Asked, "Director Shen, hello! I am Lao Yang. Look, you only cast Azu, a Chinese actor, in such a big movie. How is this possible? Why do you have to choose a few more, Asa and Azu?"  "Jiao is very good. You have worked together with me last time. All you need to do is show your face. This is an important experience in their lives!" Shen Zhenghui on the other end of the phone was dumbfounded. He had to explain that the large-scale casting process had not yet begun.  , and Daniel Wu is because his role is relatively important and he needs to get in touch with other actors in the crew early. At the same time, he also has to do a lot of preparation work, including riding skills, training in using Western weapons, script reading, etc.  "The filming cycle is expected to be very long," Shen Zhenghui replied. "The filming is expected to last four to six months. This also excludes the time of building the house. In fact, the set has already begun. We must first prepare the crew's work in the early stage.  After the staff is determined, I can then confirm the actors. For generally unimportant roles, I will try my best to use local resources in China, and I may have to trouble Mr. Yang. ""No trouble, no trouble," Yang Shoucheng said hurriedly.  Our actors are all looking forward to this day! " "The eldest brother said that he will send his son here, which is a good thing," Shen Zhenghui said, "I am not familiar with actors from Hong Kong and Mainland, and there is such an assistant here.  , I will also save a lot of things. When the crew really uses him as a stage manager, will my eldest brother and sister-in-law be distressed? " "No, no," Jack Cheng said immediately after taking the call.  "Boy, it's time to train him. I wish you could train him." After talking some more nonsense, the two parties hung up the phone. Jack Cheng was filled with joy and hurriedly called his wife, son and younger brother Daniel Wu.  Telephone.  Yang Shoucheng¡¯s mood is a little more complicated because he wants to promote actors.  Not a single one was sold, the last promise made by Shen Zhenghui.  If he didn't know that Daniel Wu would have an important role, he would have been absolutely satisfied, but now, he seems to be in despair.  The same thing happened to Mr. Xiang. Mr. Xiang didn¡¯t have many resources, so he couldn¡¯t directly get involved in film investment.  So I asked, thinking that there would be no harm in opening my mouth or not, but I got the same polite rejection.  All his artists have signed contracts with him, and his main business is a film company, not an agency.  His wife wanted to send Zhang Zhizhi, but Zhang Zhizhi obviously didn't match the style of the whole drama.  Mr. Xiang couldn't explain clearly, so he asked about the situation of ATV.  ATV Shen Zhenghui no longer had the energy to take care of it, so he had no choice but to introduce him to Director Wang and his uncle Wang Bin for detailed discussions. He put down the phone and felt melancholy with Mr. Xiang.  It would be okay if Hong Kong movies continue to suck like this. Hollywood movies are unstoppable. Everyone knows that the mainland is a big market, and everyone with a brain knows it.  The achievements made by Shen Zhenghui are incredible to these veterans who have been around for many years.  With this benchmark in mind, Mr. Xiang is no longer content to dominate behind closed doors.  He wanted to cooperate with the other party, but the other party's standards were too high. He thought of his previous days in the Hong Kong film industry, and in a daze, he felt a sense of loneliness.  But the hero soon came to his senses and scolded himself, "It's enough to make money, why do you think so much?"  Others who did not have direct dialogue with Shen Zhenghui were ready to take a curveball route to save the country. Suddenly, ATV became a bit popular. There were actually rumors that the winner of Miss Asia will have the opportunity to appear in "The Magic Apprentice", and said  The winning academy of "The Voice Asia" has the opportunity to sing the theme song for "The Magic Apprentice".  Those in the industry can tell at a glance that fake news has appeared openly in major newspapers and periodicals, and people who buy it read it with gusto.  Many artists came to ATV to inquire about the feasibility of signing a contract with ATV. They wanted to meet Chairman Shen or Minister Wang Bin. Their relationship was no longer a secret in the entertainment industry. Wang Bin faced various temptations and had to  Without the excuse of filming a TV series, he went to Hengdian in mainland China and took Shen Zhenghui's sister-in-law with him as an assistant.  Wang Jun, Shen Zhenghui's cousin, was also faced with being chased by a group. He had to apply for help from his cousin, and was transferred to the crew of "The Magic Apprentice" to help.  Therefore, ATV had to strengthen security.  As time goes by, ATV¡¯s Asian sister beauty pageant and ¡°The Voice of Asia¡± are becoming more and more popular. The female host Lin Chiling invited from Taiwan has made waves in Hong Kong.  She was praised as being more beautiful than the Hong Kong Miss. Maybe the selected Asian Miss would not be as beautiful as her.  The popularity of ATV due to off-site factors has made TVB's life more and more difficult, especially "The Voice of Asia" and ATVAfter the advertisement for the beauty pageant sold for a sky-high price.  There are really too many things to watch in this issue of "The Voice of Asia". Asia's powerful male singer Liu, Taiwan's little king Zhou, and Japan's diva-level female singer-songwriter Nakajima completely include the most representative singers from various regions in Asia.  As for the characters, the only thing missing is the North and South sticks. Speaking of this, there are still some sour things in South Korea.  However, they said that ATV was vulnerable to the Korean Wave.  In fact, the construction speed of the film and television city far exceeded expectations. The Sophie Kingdom was placed in the northeastern region, and the Kaoqi Kingdom was arranged in the northwest region. The castle requested by Shen Zhenghui was waiting in front of a professional construction team, which was completely inadequate.  .  No matter what it looks like inside, at least it looks decent from the outside. It's hard to believe that this kind of European-style building actually appears in a place like Ergouzi Township, Tieling.  Soon, Hong Kong paparazzi took photos of the scene. Hong Kong people themselves were surprised by the huge contrast between the beautiful scenery and the natural scenery of the surrounding towns.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
