PS: After the order is reversed, not many people read it, so I turned this chapter into a free chapter. I am a little sorry for those who subscribed. As for those who have not subscribed, just take a look for free!Anyway, it's free, no loss!

If it weren't for the support of the Kadoorie family, how could he be so arrogant up to now, in fact, it wasn't impossible to deal with him before, but Zhao Hong wanted to do it once and for all, so there was no need to come and go with him.

low share!

Zhao Hong is writing a novel, and he is also preparing to shoot some kind of film. He suddenly thought that it is already [-], and it is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the country. This time has a different meaning, so he wants to shoot a gift film. .

This reminded him of the movie "The Wind". This movie was a tribute film jointly produced by Huayi Brothers Media Group and Modu Film Group in 2009. This movie is very good. Although there are some minor flaws in it, it can be seen in It is really not easy to shoot such a highly completed film in that kind of environment.

Its main content is that in the spring of 1940, Wang Jingwei, the former vice chairman of the Republic of China, negotiated peace with the Japanese government and established a new "Republic of China government" in Jinling.

Since then, the Anti-Japanese War has entered a new "Three Kingdoms" period.

Wang Jingwei's Jinling Republic government, Chang Kaishen's Chongqing Republic government, and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region government led by the Communist Party formed a three-legged confrontation, each acting independently and hindering each other.

After Wang Jingwei took office, he launched three major policies, and at the same time lured frustrated and often sent military and political officials into the cabinet.

...Takeda, the head of the imperial army's secret service, suspected that this series of assassinations was planned by Lao Qiu, the leader of the Communist Party in the Beiping area, and hoped to thoroughly uncover his organization through investigation.

…Wu Zhiguo, Captain of the Puppet Army’s Bandit Suppression Team, Bai Xiaonian, Assistant Officer of the Puppet Army’s Bandit Suppression Headquarters Commander, Li Ningyu, Leader of the Translation Team of the Puppet Army’s Bandit Suppression Headquarters, Gu Xiaomeng, Executive Sending and Sending Commissioner of the Puppet Army’s Bandit Suppression Headquarters, Jin Shenghuo, director of the Military Aircraft Division of the Corps.

The investigation period is only five days, and Takeda must resort to various means and even cruel torture to find the old ghost.In order to protect themselves, the five people under house arrest are also carefully observing the other four people around them, hoping to find out the old ghost as soon as possible so that they can leave Qiuzhuang safely.

The film has a simple environment, refined characters, a clear and single purpose, and a turbulent plot.

Coupled with the passionate performances of a group of good actors, this movie is quite successful.

Zhao Hong wanted to make this film into a co-production. He was already planning to get up and go to the mainland, but this matter has to be settled before he can leave. After he is ready, he can go to the mainland to negotiate with the leaders of the relevant film studios. .

It took Zhao Hong ten days to write the script, and there are still many improvements in it, which will be handed over to the editorial department.

Originally, Zhao Hong wanted to write novels first, but he felt dissatisfied, mainly because the novels in the original time and space were very short, which made it more difficult for him to write novels. He was a little tired of coding during this period of time.

Therefore, he first wrote the script for the editorial department to perfect, and then he absorbed inspiration from it, so that writing novels would be much smoother.

In addition, he also had to arrange the filming. Zhao Hong hadn't decided who to be the assistant director for a while, but he needed a very capable person to preside over the early preparations.

Before that, his deputy, Cheng Kexin, had already started filming his own movies. Normally, it was really hard to decide who would be in charge, mainly because there were not many directors in Xiangjiang who could arrange big scenes.

At present, there are only a few people such as Xu Laoguai, Wu Baige, Li Hanxiang and so on.

Mr. Xu is currently filming Shushan Three, and he is in Zhangjiajie in the Mainland during the Chinese New Year, so he has no time to be his assistant. Besides, Mr. Xu is not willing!
Is he shameless?
Anyway, he is also a first-class director in Xiangjiang, and compared with Zhao Hong, he is only one Palme d'Or in Cannes.

Furthermore, after Wu Baige's "The True Colors of Heroes II" was a big hit last year, he worked on the last work of the series. It is worth mentioning that the quality of "The True Colors of Heroes II" is still very good, because of the Because of the good reputation of the film, this film directly broke 5000 million Hong Kong dollars in the mainland.

It is also very good at the external box office.

At this time, Lao Wu can be said to have reached the pinnacle of his life. In this series, he also made a lot of money. The main reason is that DreamWorks generally adopts the method of box office sharing. As long as the movie is a big hit, the director's profit is better than the dead salary. Go up a lot.

Because there is money to be made, he is very motivated. If he wants to be in charge of a movie that does not make much money, he is probably not happy.

As for Li Hanxiang, he is currently working on his Jiangnan series. Currently, the first film is about to start shooting, and there is no time.

Besides, Zhao Hong didn't have the face to ask an old senior to be his deputy.

So thinking about it was a bit of a headache.

Zhao Hong finally didn't think about it, and directly approached Jiang Zhiqiang to discuss this matter.

After Jiang Zhiqiang heard what the boss said, he thought for a while and said: "Boss, I think there is a director who can try, that is Johnnie To, he is currently filming a literary film "A Lang's Story" that we invested in. I felt good when I was filming, the director's directing skills are really good."

Jiang Zhiqiang is very optimistic about this director and has always hoped that he will sign a long-term contract with DreamWorks Films.

Now he doesn't care what kind of movie his boss shoots, anyway, the film company can't get much. In fact, since he knew that Zhao Hong was going to shoot a movie with the main theme, he didn't have any expectations for the box office.

As soon as Zhao Hong heard the name Du Qifeng, he felt something interesting. He is also a model of a late bloomer. He filmed the movie "Clear Water and Cold Mountains Killing Gold" in 1980, but it failed at the box office, so he returned to the small screen. Wireless shooting of many well-known TV series.

He was hailed as one of the top ten directors in Hong Kong in later generations.

His representative works include "Death Judge", "Tasteless Detective", "Gunfire", "Dark War", "Lonely Man and Widow", etc. It can be said that he is the hottest director in Xiangjiang in the 90s.

It's just that after the turn of the millennium, he was unwilling to adapt to the filming environment in the Mainland, so he rarely went to the Mainland to shoot movies, and he always focused on shooting Hong Kong's police and gangster films, so his reputation is not very loud.

Zhao Hong's movie is a spy movie, which is similar to a gangster movie, so it's perfect for him to be in charge.

"Did he not have a shooting mission?" Zhao Hong asked.

"Hehe, he has just re-entered the film industry. It would be great to be able to shoot this film. Then there are other film companies looking for him." Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile.

At present, Johnnie To is a forgotten pearl. He feels that he has a bit of a rush.

"That's fine, you can ask him to come, I'll test the school to see if it's suitable for you!" Zhao Hong nodded and said.

"Well!"

……

After a while, Du Qifeng came to Zhao Hong's office. He was still processing his film in the post-processing room just now. The film will be released soon, and there is still a little post-processing that has not been completed.

Du Qifeng didn't feel flustered when he came to the chairman's office. Although he was only in his 30s, he had been in the entertainment circle for more than ten years, and he was no longer young, only mature and stable.

Zhao Hong communicated with him for a while and felt that his directing skills are really good. Among the directors he has met in Xiangjiang, this is one of the directors with the most solid directing skills.

And I also have some ideas about spy movies.

"Director Du, I want you to be in charge of the film I'm shooting this year. I don't know what you want?" Zhao Hong said directly after probing for a while.

"Yes." Du Qifeng nodded without thinking.

He had exchanged knowledge about movies with Zhao Hong just now, and he still felt that he had a lot of deficiencies, which made him feel like he wanted to kill everyone after holding back his big move, and he felt like 'who else? 'The boldness.

But it was with Zhao Hong that he felt unfathomable. He himself was at a loss for words when faced with Zhao Hong's inquiries, so when Zhao Hong asked him to be his assistant in the film, he did not hesitate. He hesitated and agreed.

He has one advantage, that is, he has a strong learning ability, and he has learned a lot about Wang Tianlin, the teacher in Wireless.

He has reason to believe that he will benefit a lot from studying under Zhao Hong for a period of time.

So far, Zhao Hong's preparations for the film "The Wind" are on the right track, and he has far from enough time to deal with this matter by himself. Taking time to shoot a film every year is already a luxury.

Setting up the scene for this movie is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he doesn't want to do such a time-wasting thing.

You must know that in the original space-time film crew, Qiuzhuang, an important scene in the original work, was built on the cliff by the sea in Dalian.

Qiuzhuang on the cliff has east and west floors, a sea-crossing bridge between the two floors, stone steps in the mountains, and a wooden terrace on the cliff, all of which were carried up the mountain by the crew and handmade.

The construction of the two buildings in Qiuzhuang took two and a half months.

The small sea-crossing bridge with a length of 65 meters needs to be built out of thin air between the cliffs. The staff erected a [-]-meter-high scaffold vertically from the bottom of the sea, which took several months to complete.

In order to let the audience feel the prosperity of the mansion Qiuzhuang in the original book, the crew built the interior of Qiuzhuang and collected nearly 5000 props. There are more than 4000 books on the bookshelves alone, and the total value of antique props exceeds 470 million yuan.

Much of the furniture and tableware were collected from various antique collectors.

Of course, as for antiques, it is more worry-free. There are many museums in DreamWorks.

Zhao Hong's requirements for the scene will only be higher, because he will not demolish it after it is built, and it will be good to use it as a tourist attraction in the future.

In fact, many buildings in the film and television city of DreamWorks were built in this way.

Zhao Hong has no plan to shoot movies or TV series in the film and television city for a long time. He still wants to build a super large film and television city in the mainland. As for the film and television city in Xiangjiang, it is still too small.

He is currently focusing on the studio. Last year, he planned to build a world-class studio, where he can try to use green screen. In the future, most of the DreamWorks movies or TV series can be shot in this studio.

In addition to this matter, Zhao Hong also started to deal with the porcelain company.

In other words, Wang Yu was relieved when he knew that Zhao Hong wanted him to be in charge of the company related to porcelain. He was not doing very well under Ximeng's banner during this period.

Although he has accomplished many things very well, he is just unhappy, mainly because he has no passion. He doesn't like to do such boring and boring things.

Before managing the hotel, he didn't have much experience and relevant knowledge, so he had to relearn a lot of things. This kind of life is completely different from his leisurely days in the Mainland.

What's more, he is a little hypocritical when facing a powerful boss like Xi Meng!
The things she explained were so many and complicated that it was difficult to handle, but she still had to work hard to complete them. The pressure in this situation can be imagined. If he didn't look at the daunting monthly salary, he would have given up.

When Zhao Hong asked him to manage a company alone, and it was his favorite aspect, he felt like escaping from the sea of ​​suffering.

There is also a small episode in it, that is, Xi Meng does not want to let her go, she likes this hard-working subordinate very much, if she leaves, where will she find such a capable and obedient subordinate?
Wang Yu was about to cry when he found out about this. Fortunately, Xi Meng still couldn't hold his arms against his thighs. Compared with the boss, he was still a little bit worse.

He was terrified when he resigned.

Zhao Hong's request for Wang Yu is to let him go to the mainland with him this time, and then he will search for some masters in porcelain in the mainland, looking for old craftsmen with superb skills in firing porcelain.

Zhao Hong plans to set up the shelf of the porcelain research department first, and then slowly perfect her own porcelain empire.

Time flies and it's the night of March NO.15

Zhao Hong participated in the premiere of Johnnie To's movie "A Lang's Story".

This time, Yazhi and Yazhi also attended in costumes. Yazhi will enter the filming crew of "Legend of the New White Snake" in a few days, so he also spends more time with her these few days.

"Brother Fa, I hope the box office will sell well." Zhao Hong said to Brother Fa after attending the premiere.

"Hehe, thank you!" Fa Ge said with a smile.

He is already a fairy now. In the past two years, the box office of the movies he has starred in is generally not bad, and several of them have even reached 5000 million Hong Kong dollars. In particular, the "True Colors of Heroes" series has benefited him a lot. Like a white dove, he embarked on the road to becoming a god.

Now he spends a lot of time shooting DreamWorks movies. Although he is not a signed artist of DreamWorks, he is about the same.

He is now a solo artist. He and Chen Huilian got married on June 1987, 6. After marriage, Chen Huilian served as Chow Yun-fat's secretary, manager and life assistant.

He set up his own studio affiliated with DreamWorks, mainly for the convenience of receiving dramas, and also for his own protection. In fact, DreamWorks has no binding force on him at all.

What hasn't been said yet is that he will play Wu Zhiguo, the leading actor in "The Wind".

The character is the head of the military staff of a puppet army.

The appearance is domineering and vicissitudes.

When he was young, he studied in Germany and received a Hitler-style military education.

His father was killed by the Kuomintang army, and his elder brother was killed by the guns of the Kuomintang. He has complicated psychology towards both the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang.

Wu Zhiguo was the one who had the most intense confrontation with Wu Tian, ​​Wang Tianxiang and others.

In Xiangjiang, Zhao Hong thinks this role is the most suitable for him. Who else is more domineering?
