Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 63 What to Shoot
"Oh."

Distant relative.

I have some impression of it, deep in my memory, it seems like I saw it three years ago when my grandfather celebrated his 80th birthday.

Huang Lan's parents also asked her to learn from others.

As for Huang Ze at that time, the poor student didn't dare to speak. How could Shuimu from more than 20 years ago be learned just by wanting to?

"Oh my God." After recalling the appearance, Huang Ze thought of something and was suddenly startled.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

"Okay, go home. No, you should go to Gong Xing's house to meet her. You have been away for more than a month. Sigh..."

Director Xu sighed.

"Some things, I don't know how they spread, those people spread rumors irresponsibly, luckily the newspapers in Shanghai suddenly stopped talking about it, but other places are already buzzing, it will spread here sooner or later, didn't you go abroad to make a living? Just take her out to relax."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. You young people should make your own decisions. As an old man, I can't say anything." Director Xu knew that from Huang Ze's perspective, whatever he did would be impeccable, so he simply shook his head and stopped talking.

"I understand. Thank you, Director."

……

After returning home and riding his motorcycle, Huang Ze's mood did not fluctuate much.

What is supposed to happen will always happen.

Nowadays, people are relatively idle and have few entertainment activities.
For such a big thing, no matter whether it is true or false, or whether it is a rumor or not, just watch it and watch it.

In addition, Gong Xing is one of the most popular actresses in China today, which is comparable to the tax payers in later generations.

The heat is even greater than before.

Of course, based on their interactions over the past two years, Huang Ze still believes that this is a rumor.

First, look at the people.

The second is memory. In his previous life, Gong Xing did not seem to have been to jail. If it was true as the gangster case was said to be, it would be impossible for him not to have been to jail, and he would probably even have to eat peanuts.

Being able to be fine outside is very telling.

Of course, there is no good solution. The only option is to stay away and let time prove whether you ate one bowl of noodles or two bowls of noodles.

Besides, if the rumor came out, my mother would definitely find a way to get to the bottom of it. If it was true, she would definitely stop it. Why should I worry about it?

Just believe it for now.

Riding a motorcycle, Huang Ze went to the department store first.

Before, we would just send them to the entrance of the alley.

This is the first time I go to your house, I can’t go empty-handed, right?
After buying some inexpensive but thoughtful gifts, Huang Ze knocked on Gong Xing's door.

"Auntie, I'm here to look for Xiaoxiang."

The person who opened the door was a woman in her fifties who looked a bit like Gong Xing. She had a warm smile on her face and said, "Aze, right? Xiao Xing often tells us about you. Xiao Xing is in the inner room."

"Also, take all your stuff back later! Just come to your aunt's house, what else do you need to bring?"

"It's just a token of my appreciation." Huang Ze didn't discuss this topic any further and went straight to the inner room.

Gong Xing was sitting on the bed.

As soon as she saw Huang Ze, she blinked rapidly, her eyes turned red, and tears filled her eyes in an instant.

Unspeakable grievance.

"Huang Ze, do you still believe in me?"

"Of course I believe it!" Huang Ze smiled, "If I don't believe you, who will? Just treat what those people outside say as bullshit."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Gong Xing stood up, threw himself on Huang Ze and started crying.

"I've never felt so wronged."

"Even when I was a teenager and went to work in the countryside, or when I was a cultural soldier at the age of 19 and started practicing dance and leg stretching, I never felt so aggrieved."

"No one believes you at all. They all look at you with tinted glasses..."

"It's okay, everything will pass." Huang Ze gently stroked his back.

"It's lonely at the top. After Under the Bridge, you've become so popular. I don't think this trend will stop easily. Why don't you just come with me outside?"

"Where to go?"

"Hong Kong Island." Huang Ze actually thought of the two options of Hong Kong Island and the United States. In Huang Ze's opinion, he must want to get it all in one go and directly get through Hollywood.

But the matter of shooting a new album made Huang Zewu realize.

You make a music video over there, but no one listens to you, let alone a movie? What are you thinking?
Yes, I can pay for it myself, but as someone who had worked on a film crew in my previous life, I know very well that just because I pay, it doesn't mean they have to listen to you.

I will secretly do something to you and make sure you will not be able to escape unscathed.

Who has the time to waste? It's just a waste of time.

After much thought, I decided to learn from Jackie Chan's approach to breaking into Hollywood in his previous life. First lay a solid foundation to prove that you are awesome, and then take the next better step.

In this case, Hong Kong Island is better.

I have adapted to the life there. Even if we are short of manpower, we can directly hire people from mainland film studios. We can pay the prices in Hong Kong Island and they are paid in foreign currency. I don't believe that no one will be interested.

"I'm going to set up a film company in Hong Kong, and you can help me keep an eye on it."

"But I don't understand either!" She had long been fed up with people's gossip, and she was also tempted by the opportunity to not be pointed at by others.

"Can it be harder than it is now?"

Huang Ze sternly reprimanded him, "You're not afraid of such a difficult situation, so you're afraid of looking after the company? You don't have to be in charge, just keep an eye on it, can you make it go bankrupt?"

"But, how can I get there?"

"You don't have to worry about that." If you have money, this is not a big problem at all.

"I will open a company there first, and then I will directly recruit you. You should take care of the things at Shanghai Film Studio and live out for a while. Then you can decide where to live."

"By the way, didn't I promise you that I would make a movie with you as the heroine? I'll shoot it when we get to Hong Kong Island."

"Why are you still looking for me to take a photo?" Gong Wei glanced at Huang Ze, "I'm done in China, and I'm even less famous abroad."

"It does not matter!"

"What's important is that I made a promise with you."

"I always keep my word. If I say I will find you to play the leading female role once, I will definitely find you once."

Huang Ze was so domineering that he would not allow Gong Xing to question him. Then he asked a very realistic question, "But it's just this one movie. You're not going to act for the rest of your life, are you?"

"I know what you are thinking." Gong Xing looked at Huang Ze and nodded heavily.

Huang Ze held the other person's face and launched a verbal battle.

……

Huang Ze stayed at Gong Xing's house until it was almost time for dinner, then rode his motorcycle back home.

At the dinner table, Huang Ze thought about the garden house issue and turned his attention to his mother. "Mom, you know a lot of people. Can we buy a garden house? I have too many letters from my fans. I have to buy a big house to store the letters."

"Are you trying to release the letter? I'm too embarrassed to point it out to you." Mom rolled her eyes.

"Is it possible or not?"

"Yes, but it will require foreign exchange."

"No problem! I have US dollars."

"Which garden house do you want to buy?" my mother asked while picking up food.

"It's closer to Shanghai Film Studio. How about Dongping Road? I've been eyeing it for a long time."

"Plop." Mom's chopsticks fell on the table. "You can't just buy randomly. Which size do you want to buy?"

"Number 16!"

"Not bad, not bad." Mom thought for a moment, nodded, changed her chopsticks and continued eating. "I'll ask around for you, but you'd better be prepared, it won't be a small number."

“Any amount below one million is acceptable.”

"Mom, I'm full, I'm going to work!"

That’s why he boasted that he would take Gong Xing to shoot a movie, and he can’t go back on his word!
Then it’s worth thinking about what kind of film to make.

I am a newcomer in the Hong Kong film industry. Given my status, I cannot sell Hong Kong films to Taiwan, the largest market. Most commercial films are not profitable and I may even lose money.

After much thought, it is more appropriate to jump out and follow the path of the three major European banks selling dollars.

Hong Kong Island is, for now, just a springboard for filming.

Then we have to make films that can win awards.

Speaking of winning awards, the previous work won the second prize at the Venice Film Festival. This one should have the potential to win an award of this level, right?

It would be great if I could not only win the award but also establish my position in the world film industry.
