Hong Kong, Four Seasons Hotel.
A car was parked in the underground garage, and a middle-aged man with a dissatisfaction came down from it.
The man had just got out of the car and walked a few steps when someone shouted behind him: Acai, wait a moment!
The man turned his head and smiled and said: Brother Xian, long time no see.
The person who caught up with him was Lee Xiuxian, while the other was the famous Hong Kong director Lan Naicai.
Lan Naicai used to be a photographer for Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan, and his use of light and shadow was unique. Later, he went to the Japanese film industry for several years, and after returning, he began to be an independent director.
Shaw Brothers, Xinyi City and Jiahe have all invited him, and Kang Jianfei's Oriental Entertainment Agency also wanted to sign an agency contract with him, but they were all rejected by Lan Naicai.
It was not until a few years ago that Li Xiuxian sent an invitation that Lan Nai agreed to join Li Xiuxian's Universal Film because of his personal friendship, and successively sold several blockbuster films for Universal Company. He was also known as Shuanglong Going to Shanghai with Li Xiuxian.
Since the year before yesterday, Lan Naicai has collaborated with Cai Lan, one of the four talents, to shoot a series of CULT films.
Two of these films are third-level films, and are both milestone works in Hong Kong-made third-level films.
Moreover, this person is so cool that he filmed a movie called "The King of Power" last year, which sold for more than 20 million yuan, and suddenly retired and stopped directing the director.
Acai, why are you here today?Lee Xiuxian and Lan Naicai stood side by side waiting for the elevator.
Lan Naicai smiled and said: President Wu called himself to invite him, can I not come?
That's true.Lee Xiuxian nodded and said that although Wu Siyuan has not produced much in recent years, he still has a high voice in the director circle.
Lan Naicai sighed and said: It is the last time I have come to the meeting.
Li Xiuxian said for him a pity: A Cai, you are just in the past and have only filmed a blockbuster film. Why should you retire if you are less than 40 years old?
Lan Naicai said casually: I’m a little tired of filming and want to take a break for a few years.
Li Xiuxian could only be speechless about this because he really couldn't understand what Lan Naicai was thinking. He was in the rising period of his career at a young age, but he had money and quit the film industry directly without making money. Isn't this fucking stupid?
The two chatted and waited for the elevator. After waiting for several minutes, they didn't get off. Instead, the sound of footsteps came from the parking lot.
The sound was crisp, and it was mostly caused by the woman's high heels hitting the ground.
Lan Naicai and Li Xiuxian turned their heads and looked at them, but they were young women of average appearance.
Li Xiuxian frowned and whispered: Why is she here too?
Lan Naicai asked: Brother Xian, do you know that woman?
Li Xiuxian said: Boss Zou’s daughter, Zou Chongyan, who graduated from the Director Department of Southern California University, made a movie in Hong Kong last year and lost.
Lan Naicai smiled and said: It turns out that he is the young leader of Jiahe.
Li Xiuxian said with a slight : I heard that this young boss had a little unhappy relationship with the other shareholders of Jiahe.
Lan Nai was about to answer the conversation when the elevator door suddenly opened, and he walked in first.
Please wait a moment!Zou Chongyan shouted faster.
After Li Xiuxian entered the elevator, he stopped him from closing the elevator door. He smiled at her when Zou Chongyan came in.
Thank you Mr. Li!Zou Chongyan thanked with a smile, saying that she is still very familiar with celebrities in the Hong Kong film industry.
It's a simple task, you're welcome.Li Xiuxian said.
Zou Chongyan looked at Lan Naicai again and asked: Who is this?
Li Xiuxian introduced: Lan Naicai, director of "The King of Power".
It turns out it is Mr. Lan, who has long been famous!Zou Chongyan took the initiative to reach out.
Hello, Miss Zou.Lan Naicai shook hands with her.
Today is an extraordinary meeting of the Hong Kong Directors Association. Because the headquarters building is still under construction, the meeting address is selected in the hotel.
Zou Chongyan is barely considered a Hong Kong director, but she came to the conference today, with the main purpose of meeting more directors and laying a foundation for her future participation and development of Jiahe.
The three of them took the elevator to the hotel auditorium, where twenty or thirty directors had already come, and they chatted in a low voice.
"Jurassic Park" finally finished filming, and the box office was really scary.
It's Ah, with more than 66 million, which has raised the box office record in Hong Kong so much at once.
Stop talking, the movie I made was in a terrible schedule with "Jurassic Park".
It's miserable enough, mine was also hit, and the director who agreed to add it was all ruined.
You said, there are only a few Hong Kong actors in "Jurassic Park", so is it still called a Hong Kong film?
Is that true?The main crew members are from Hong Kong.
Anyway, it's not authentic.
People are looking for overseas box office, so there must be more Western actors in the actors.
DreamWorks made a lot of money this time, and the overseas box office of "Jurassic Park" is definitely not low.
Well, you must make money. That 400 million investment may be able to make money back just by the Asian box office.
I want to make a special effects blockbuster, but unfortunately those Taiwanese guys are definitely reluctant to invest money.Damn, those nouveau riche only know the stars. How much investment can you find depends on how many celebrity faces you can invite.
Is there any way?The financial backer is counting on Hong Kong stars to attract audiences there.
They invest in order to make quick money, and the production cycle is kept within two months.I beat his mother and gave her two months to shoot and post-production. What wonderful movies can I make?"Jurassic Park" has been filmed for more than a year.
At least half of the investments in films made in Hong Kong every year come from Taiwan.This will definitely not work. Once there is a problem with the economy or box office market in Taiwan, Hong Kong movies will be greatly damaged.
Is there any way?If you have money to come to your door, won’t you make a profit?
I heard that President Wu and his team went north some time ago, and the mainland has agreed to open the film market.
Don’t be too happy too early, there is only 10 units per year, and Dream Factory alone accounts for half.
I also know a little about the mainland, not afraid of the small limit, but I am afraid of not giving at all.Being able to open a hole means that the wind direction is stable and will definitely be gradually released in the future.Think about it, a movie market of one billion people will make a fortune if you watch it.
……
Zou Chongyan pricked up his ears and listened to the directors' discussions. Most of the topics were related to the just-describing "Jurassic Park".
As a master's degree in director at USC, Zou Chongyan actually despises Hong Kong films a lot. She looks down on Hong Kong's film industry a little because it is too naive compared to Hollywood.
The Hong Kong film industry does not even have a clear process for making movies. Most of the time, filming is based on the conventional unspoken rules, and the project establishment of a movie is extremely casual. The person in charge makes a decision by patting his head. Sometimes when the filming starts, even the script is not ready.
All the chaos made Zou Chongyan not optimistic about the future development of Hong Kong films. She felt that both Hong Kong film production and Hong Kong theaters were in a disorderly state. This was not what a mature film industry system should look like. Once problems arise in the foreign market, it would lead to a terrible chain reaction.
Zou Chongyan wanted to implement Hollywood reforms within Jiahe, but only revealed some meanings, and was persuaded by Jiahe, led by He Guanchang.
Everyone knows the truth, but it is difficult to do.
Jiahe implements an independent satellite company system, and in recent years, most of the funds for movies come from Taiwan. It is too difficult to follow the process completely. It is a joke to do everything according to the rules.
Unless Jiahe can be self-sufficient in all funds like Kang Jianfei’s Dream Factory, there will be room for operation.
Hollywood's system has been continuously improved for decades. It is completely impossible for Zou Chongyan to make a sharp report to reform Jiahe in a short period of time. It may be okay to replace Jiahe, which was joined with the Shaw Brothers more than ten years ago, but it is too late now.
It is precisely because of this that Zou Chongyan, who wanted to make achievements, proposed that Jiahe reduces the production volume and increase investment in overseas theaters.
Mr. Kang is here!
Hello, Director Kang.
Boss Kang came very early.
Mr. Kang, I just got a good script...
Suddenly, the auditorium suddenly became lively, and all members of the directors' association turned their attention to the person who had just come in.
A new box office record of 66.43 million is already an insurmountable gap in front of all Hong Kong directors, and it is an existence they can only look up to.
No one can break this box office record for at least two or three years.Even if the director who doesn't like Kang Jianfei again, he dare not say a strange thing in public, because the box office is the most powerful proof of strength.
Kang Jianfei is standing there, he is NO1 in Hong Kong movies, and you have to admit it even if you don’t admit it.
Even Wong Pai-ming, Jackie Chan and others put down their aura of big directors and big stars, walked over enthusiastically and shook hands with Kang Jianfei to say hello.
Zou Chongyan may have contempt for many directors in Hong Kong, but he highly praised Kang Jianfei, because the Oriental Group founded by Kang Jianfei is the template in Zou Chongyan's heart.
She also wanted to develop Jiahe into that, but unfortunately she had too many constraints and could not implement them.
Hello, Mr. Kang!Zou Chongyan was reserved for a while and couldn't help but go up to shake hands.
Who are you?Kang Jianfei had never seen this woman before, and he couldn't think of any powerful female director in Hong Kong.
Zou Chongyan smiled and introduced himself: My surname is Zou.
Introducing his surname to Zou, but without saying his name, Kang Jianfei tentatively said: Boss Zou of Jiahe is...
It's my father.Zou Chongyan said.
It turned out to be Miss Zou, hello!
Kang Jianfei laughed and didn't care much.
This Zou Qianjin is not pretty and the two are destined to have no chance to cooperate, so Kang Jianfei is really interested in her.
It was time to go right, and more than 40 directors had gathered in the auditorium, and they were not all members of the Directors Association.
As the chairman of the association, Wu Siyuan went up to speak and said: Recently, Hong Kong released a science fiction film comparable to "Star Wars", setting an astonishing box office record of 66.43 million.Here, I would like to congratulate director Kang Jianfei on his behalf. I wish Jurassic Park will be a big hit overseas box office in the future.
