Entertainment, I just like making movies

Hong Kong Island.

The hotel where the crew of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" stayed.

In a conference room on the seventh floor, the atmosphere was filled with smoke and extremely frozen.

The film's chief creator and the heads of the crew department, about 20 people all had serious faces, and they looked at director Xu Zheng in the main seat from time to time.

Xu Zheng frowned, feeling irritated.

After the incident, the crew first communicated with the three locations, hoping that they would facilitate the filming and allow the crew to shoot first.

How dare we offend the local gangsters at the three set-up spots? They hesitated and delayed.

The crew had no choice but to ask Hengyu headquarters for help.

Xu Zheng personally called Mo Xiangwan, secretary of the board of directors of Hengyu Media, and the reply he got was that he would notify Fang Ziheng as soon as possible and ask the crew to stay in the hotel first and try not to go out if nothing happened.

A full day and a half has passed. From the night before yesterday to this morning, there was not a single call from Hengyu.

Fang Ziheng didn't call to ask what happened.

There were more than a hundred people in the crew hiding in the hotel all day and night, and everyone was going crazy.

What makes people even more angry is that this morning a group of young people with dyed hair and fancy clothes came outside the hotel.

The hotel manager told Xu Zheng and the others that these people were local gangsters and gangsters from Hong Kong Island, and they were all arranged by someone behind the scenes.

"Why haven't you heard any news yet?"

As time passed, Xu Zheng's expression became more serious. After a while, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and checked to see if there were any text messages or calls.

Next to him, Bao Qiang and Zeng Li sat on one left and one on the right. They didn't say a word and looked quite embarrassed.

The atmosphere in the conference room was getting worse and worse, and everyone's patience was exhausted.

Zeng Li was worried that everyone's morale would be damaged. He knocked on the table and said, "Director Xu, everyone, I don't think the other party's purpose is simply to stop us from filming. There must be other plans hidden behind it!"

She is Hengyu's artist and the leading actress in the movie. She also has a close relationship with Fang Ziheng. She cannot be a bystander either emotionally or rationally.

"Embarrassed in Hong Kong" is a movie written, produced and invested by her daughter's father!

As soon as she opened her mouth, she received an immediate response from Bao Qiang: "Yes, if the gangster is really up to something, it's just asking for money. This gangster came to the hotel to block the door this morning. It seems that he was ordered by someone."

"The problem now is that we can't get out, and no one will come to deal with the call to the police, and why hasn't there been any news from above?"

Xu Zheng spoke in a low voice, scratched his bald head with his hands, and cursed bad luck in his heart.

Zeng Li's eyes flashed, and he heard the meaning of Xu Zheng's words. He looked at everyone and solemnly said: "Don't worry, the group will not ignore us!"

With that said, she was about to take out her mobile phone and call Fang Ziheng.

Buzz buzz...

As soon as she took out her phone, it vibrated.

A set of phone numbers and Fang Ziheng's name were displayed on the smart screen.

Zeng Liyang raised his phone and smiled: "It's the chairman's phone number."

boom..

Everyone sat up straight.

Phew.. Phew..

Immediately afterwards, sounds of relaxation sounded in the conference room.

As soon as Fang Ziheng called, everyone seemed to have a backbone, which made them feel at ease even if the other person was not present.

Yeah!

The chairman will not leave them alone.

Xu Zheng's stern expression also softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Zeng Li: "Sister Li, listen to what Zi Heng has to say. Is the matter resolved?"

On the set, Bald Xu was very polite to the beautiful lady Zeng. Knowing that she was having an affair with Fang Ziheng, he often treated her like a sister to show respect.

Zeng Li nodded, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hey, Sister Li?"

Fang Zi's warm and steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's me."

Zeng Li replied softly, and then said with a bit of annoyance: "Director Fang, we are in a meeting. There are gangs outside blocking the door. They are too bad and won't let the crew out!"

Tsk tsk!

Beauty Zeng was also angry and complained to her little man!

"Don't worry, it's okay!"

"Chen Yu, the deputy general manager of China Film Group Corporation, has arrived in Hong Kong and is on his way to the Hong Kong Resident Office. Please wait for a while. They will be there soon."

The calm voice was played through the mobile phone and spread throughout the conference room, making everyone smile with joy.

People from China Film and Television, please come to the Hong Kong Consulate!

Awesome!

A young man shouted in his heart, stood up and came to the window, looking disdainfully at the gangsters lingering downstairs.

Underworld, gangsters!

You are so arrogant, how can you still have the Chinese Embassy in Hong Kong?

Everyone stood up from their seats, whispering, and happily making body movements to relax.

They went out all day and night, but they were exhausted.

Fang Ziheng asked Zeng Li to give Xu Zheng his cell phone, and after a few brief explanations, he hung up.

For such a small matter, a phone call is enough for him!

after an hour.

Two luxury cars arrived at the hotel escorted by Hong Kong police.

Chen Yu, a deputy director of the Office in Hong Kong, and Song Dai from the Yindu Agency got out of the car.

Also coming together were a senior assistant commissioner, a chief superintendent and a senior superintendent from the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters.

Chief Superintendent, head of the Crime Department of the Hong Kong Island Police!

Senior Superintendent of Police, West Kowloon District Operations Commander!

As soon as the two got out of the car, they waved behind them.

Several assault vehicles came and before the gangster could react, dozens of police officers came down and quickly captured the gangster.

Xu Zheng led everyone and welcomed Chen Yu and others into the hotel.

The senior assistant director said to them apologetically: "Director Xu, everyone, I'm really sorry for surprising you.

Please rest assured that the Hong Kong police will take this matter seriously and protect the crew of "囧" to successfully complete the filming! "

"At the same time, I also ask you to believe that Hong Kong Island will always be a legal, peaceful and civilized city. Hong Kong Island will always welcome mainland directors, actors, and crews to come to Hong Kong for filming!"

Xu Zheng was a little flattered. He held the opponent's hand with both hands and shook it twice. He said with satisfaction: "Thank you to the Hong Kong Island police for the timely rescue. We firmly believe that Hong Kong Island is a beautiful and peaceful city. A very few crimes can be found everywhere and will not affect us in the mainland." People’s senses and praise for Hong Kong Island!”

"Haha, okay, thank you Director Xu for your understanding!"

The Senior Assistant Director laughed and nodded to the Chief Superintendent and Senior Superintendent behind him, telling them to take the gangster away first and that he must deal with it seriously.

Then, the assistant director looked at the deputy director of the Hong Kong Office and extended an invitation: "Director Yang, Manager Chen, I will be the host tonight to scare Director Xu and the others, and I invite you two to show your respect together!"

Deputy Director Yang did not speak, but looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled slightly and said politely: "It's a waste of time for Director Li, so I should invite you.

I think this is it, let’s just have a casual meal on the set. "Hong Kong" is a very good movie. Director Yang and Director Li would like to be here to give guidance and give more advice to the set! "

"Okay, okay, it's settled!"

Director Li smiled and agreed, his attitude was friendly, and he did not show any sign of being in a high position.

In a few words, the incident was resolved.

Hong Kong Island.

A five-star hotel, in the luxurious presidential suite on the top floor.

Four middle-aged men over fifty were sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting.

The four people looked relaxed and at ease, and they made great comments during the conversation. Anyone who saw them would think that they were big bosses in Hong Kong Island.

One of them, Fang Ziheng, had dealt with Yang Cheng, the boss of Yinghuang.

One of the other three is Xiang Qiang, the boss of Huaguoxing.

One is Lin Jian, the CEO of Lixin Group.

Lin Jian is also the largest boss of Hong Kong entertainment giant Uni Asia Film and Television Company, and the boss of Zhuang Cheng, President of Uni Asia.

The last one is Li Guoxin, the boss of Hong Kong Island Meiya Entertainment.

These four people are the current leaders of Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry.

The bad things that happened in "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" were the work of one of the four people. They wanted to lure Fang Ziheng to come to Hong Kong and use their hands to solve the bad things, so that Fang Ziheng would owe them a favor.

If the favor is owed, they can justifiably propose to cooperate with Hengyu Media to make a movie together.

Among the four, Lin Jian is the richest and controls the huge Lixin Group.

Yang Cheng followed, ranking 38th on last year's Hong Kong Island rich list, with a net worth of US$1 billion.

On the surface, Xiang Qiang seems to be less wealthy than the two of them, but what does he do? Secretly, he has much more wealth than Yang Cheng.

Only Li Guoxin is weak. Meiya Entertainment has been half-dead in recent years and is in urgent need of good projects to open up the difficult situation.

The four of them drank tea and chatted, chatting and laughing.

On the coffee table, there are several special snacks and refreshments from Hong Kong Island.

Didi didi..

A cell phone rang on the coffee table.

Lin Jian, Yang Cheng, and Li Guoxin were moved and stared at Xiang Qiang. That was the other party's mobile phone. Could it be that Fang Ziheng had come to Hong Kong.

Almost instantly, the three of them put down the tea in their hands and changed their sitting postures to look like listeners.

Xiang Qiang slowly swallowed the cake in his mouth, picked up the phone and connected it, saying in a low voice: "Hey, it's me!"

"Boss, it's bad, the police are here and they handcuffed all my brothers away!"

"What?"

Xiang Qiang frowned, subconsciously covering his phone and looking at the three of them.

Then, under the surprised eyes of the three people, he stood up and came to the window, lowered his voice and said sternly: "What's going on? Didn't I tell you to tell your men to be at peace and not to touch those mainland boys!"

"Boss, I didn't move. The brothers were just wandering outside the hotel and didn't even go in!"

A man's aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone.

"grass!"

Xiang Qiang cursed secretly, suddenly thought of something, and continued to ask: "Let me ask you, have your people seen a handsome young man come to the hotel to meet the crew of "囧"!"

"There are no young people. Instead, there is a young man in his thirties and two middle-aged men in their forties."

"Oh, by the way, boss, a team of police cars escorted them to the hotel. I asked later and the hotel manager said that the senior police superintendent of West Kowloon District was also in the escort team!"

Hearing this, Xiang Qiang stopped dead.

A long while!

He cursed into the phone, ‘I’m going to throw you off the street! 'Hang up the phone!

Afterwards, he made two phone calls and quickly figured out what was going on.

Fang Ziheng never came to Hong Kong Island.

China Film Group came in person, executive director and deputy general manager Chen Yu, a direct confidant of the Chinese film market boss Zuo Shandiao!

"Chen Yu, Director Li, Senior Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Office!"

Xiang Qiang took a breath and muttered the names of the three people.

He knew that the plan failed!

That Fang Ziheng didn't need to rely on the power of Hong Kong's entertainment industry to easily control the gangsters blocking the door.

He took back the phone, lit a cigarette to Xiang Qiang, and walked out, meditating.

Nothing can be done, wipe your ass first!

"Lao Xiang, what's going on?"

"Brother Xiang, where are you going?"

"Everyone, my wife asked me to go back for dinner, so I'm sorry!"

Xiang Qiang kept walking, waved to the three of them calmly, and disappeared into the suite.

Yang Cheng, Lin Jian, and Li Guoxin were left staring with big eyes.

That night.

Xu Zheng took the crew to the first filming location, Sky 100, and started filming again facing the entire Victoria.

For the other two filming locations, they also took the initiative to contact the crew with a humble attitude, claiming that the crew of "囧 in Hong Kong" can go there for filming at any time.

Leaving the palace.

After Fang Ziheng saw off the crew of "Tang Detective 2" on the plane, he went directly back to Milkman. During this period, he only called Zeng Li.

As for those behind the scenes, he didn't even bother to know.

In this land of China, there is no future for those involved in gangs, ever!

After staying at home for another day and handing little Yueyue to Fang Rou's mother, he boarded the plane to Yuzhang.

This time when I returned to the Imperial Capital, two of the three things were perfectly resolved.

Only Zhou Xingchi has not completely finished it, and is still waiting to see the price, waiting for the price to be sold.

In the past two days, major film and television companies have met with each other one by one, and the prices offered are very high.

Tengxun Pictures and Alibaba Pictures even took the initiative to pay a premium, hoping to completely acquire the new project of the King of Comedy.

Zhou Xingchi was very calm and told everyone he met that they could discuss it. Then he changed the topic and told everyone that they would discuss it after the script was perfected.

Chen Wu, Zhang Qiang, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Song Ge and others had no choice but to leave behind a message of waiting for good news and then left.

According to the time set by Zhou Xingchi, a new script can be produced at the end of the summer season by September at the latest.

As for the story of the script, he kept it very secret and did not mention it at all.

………

time flies.

In May, the weather gradually gets hotter.

As the summer season approaches, the film market is also brimming with endless vitality.

Starting from April 15th, several consecutive Hollywood blockbusters have landed in China, starting the same indiscriminate bombing mode as in the previous two years.

The first is "Special Forces: Counterattack", which was released for one month and made a low-key box office of 380 million.

Now "The Croods" was released for only 20 days, and it also took in a box office of 310 million.

This is not over yet. On May 1st, Labor Day, the Iron Man series of movies produced by North American Marvel Studios, "Iron Man 3", was officially released nationwide.

In just five days, the first weekend box office surged to 400 million yuan, a fierce sub-batch.

at the same time.

Movies are also wildly reaping box office success in global markets. In the North American market alone, "Iron Man 3" grossed US$68.1 million on its first day.

In 2013, the Chinese film market suffered a defeat for the first time since domestic films crushed foreign films during the Spring Festival.

On the Internet, countless fans are waiting eagerly, hoping that someone will step forward and teach the ferocious "Iron Man 3" how to behave.

Fans are overthinking this!

Not to mention that no one is willing to come forward, even if you come out, you will die!

Everyone is not stupid. April and May are the time when Hollywood movies are released in large numbers. Who the hell would really use movies to make it hard?

Even Fang Ziheng, who has always been determined to revitalize Chinese-language films, would not choose to compete at a weak time!

If you want to fight, choose to fight in June!

Yuzhang.

Jinggangshan!

The new location for the crew of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China".

Fang Ziheng finished the day's shooting and returned to his room after dinner.

There was no time to take a shower, so I turned on the computer immediately and checked the two forms forwarded by secretary Lin Yuyu.

One copy is all the movies released in the entire Chinese movie market and released in the summer!

The first among them is "To Our Fading Youth" directed by Zhao Yanzi, controlled by Alibaba Pictures.

In the last life, Zhao Yanzi had a good network of connections!

In order to have a good release schedule for "To Youth", the schedule of "Iron Man 3" has been moved many times, changing the release time of this Hollywood blockbuster.

In this life, Zhao Yanzi was in poor condition due to the controversy over the replacement of the female lead in "囧 in Hong Kong", which resulted in the release of "Youth" being delayed by nearly a month and a half.

The movie's schedule has also been moved to May 25, which also perfectly avoids "Iron Man 3".

Of course!

Avoiding Hollywood blockbusters, it is impossible to avoid other domestic movies released at the same time.

On the computer in front of Fang Ziheng, there is also a list of four movies controlled by Hengyu Media to be released in June, July and August, as well as a movie promotion schedule.

One of them will be released on May 29th!

"Manslaughter 2"!

Produced by Fang Ziheng, directed by Guo Fan, starring Xiao Yang, Yang Xuejian, Yu Hewei, Luo Jin, and Lei Jiaying.

This movie is also one of the gifts given to Alibaba Pictures by Hengyu Media.

When Lu Chuan's "The Seven Stars of Lu" is released, Fang Ziheng will have a big gift to give.

Alibaba Pictures was making small moves behind the scenes, but he disdained it.

He wants to be upright, defeat Alibaba Pictures head-on with each Hengyu-controlled movie, and beat the so-called Internet elites.

Tell them how the movie works!
