Since 1983

This play is called:

Ziyi first came out, and the national teacher went to Berlin.

Mr. Xu visits the boudoir, and Emperor Gong sweeps the couch to welcome him.

There are two beautiful wives in the family, and the heart is clear and the waist hurts.

The dragon and the tiger will meet, and the world is shocked when they hear about it.

...

Boom boom boom!

Squeak!

At night, Xu Fei knocked on Gong Li's door.

It's a big suite, the living room is a bit messy, the English teacher I met before is also there, and it seems that he is in class. The teacher was very measured and resigned voluntarily.

Sit whatever you want, I brought tea, I want to brew it myself.

As for being so tired?

As for it!

Gong Li looked tired, and complained: -I have to watch several movies every day, and I have to watch them with tasks. I can't relax at all. After watching, I have to hold a review meeting. Those who vote or not, I'm afraid it will delay others.

It's not something people do.

Oh, I see you have a lot of news.

Forget it...

She suddenly got angry and raised her voice: It's all written by reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the mainland even reproduced it to join in the fun. What about Gong Li reuniting, old lovers meeting new friends, former lovers meeting on narrow roads...

It's disgusting to mention! You're still laughing, I'm so pissed off!

What I mean is, it's better to take this opportunity and let the two of you reconcile.

Not to mention, we have no enmity. I really don't care about him now, but others can't talk nonsense, right?

Boom boom boom!

Just as he was talking, there was another knock on the door.

There were several people standing outside, one was Lao Song, the other was from the Locomotive Publishing Company, and there were two foreigners with ghostly looks.

Mr. Bernard, Mr. Barker from Sony Classics, Mr. Allen from Locomotive.

Lao Song helped to introduce: This is Xu, the investor from the mainland, and Ms. Gong Li, the lead actor.

Bernard and Buck are the global distribution partners of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There are a total of 6 people present, 4 of which are our own.

After greetings and sitting down, Lao Song said: Director Li An is busy with post production and has no time to participate. Let's have a small gathering today, mainly to talk about the release strategy of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Okay, we are new here, and we need the rich experience of the two of you, what do you think? Xu Fei asked.

It's not an ordinary foreign language film.

It appeals to audiences more than ordinary foreign-language films.

We tend to go to film festivals, and the premiere wants to be in Cannes.

Then Jakarta, Toronto, Reykjavik, New York, Austin... wherever there is a film festival, we will go.

It's so poetic, capturing both the Eastern narrative style and the Western storytelling style.

So we believed it was going to be successful, and it transcended cultural boundaries.

Bernard and Buck are like talking about cross talk, every sentence is very vivid.

Xu Fei really didn't know how Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was released, and said: I agree with participating in film festivals, but the so-called globalization is fundamentally in the North American market.

I would like to ask, what are your preparations for the North American market?

Well……

The two of them were not as confident as before, and hesitated: American audiences have very strange tastes, and we are often uncertain. We have thought of some ways, and now we think it is feasible to package Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as a female martial arts work.

ah?

What?

Several people were taken aback, What do you mean by female martial arts?

Literally, Kung Fu movies starring women should be screened first among female athlete groups and ballet troupes to see how they respond.

...

The scene was silent, and the faces of Gong Li, Lao Song, and Ai Lun were full of unreliable words.

Xu Fei also felt confused, but judging from the results, this promotion method was actually successful.

The Cannes Film Festival will be held in May, can you attend?

Sure, otherwise L'Oreal will also invite me. Gong Li said.

Well, this year you will be more troubled, and help promote more.

When the consensus was reached, Bernard and Buck went to work, and Alan also left.

Lao Song stayed behind, took out a script and said, This is Chen Desen's book. It was written last year. He asked people everywhere to invest 68 million yuan. Everyone in the circle laughed at him as a lunatic.

What movie is so expensive? Gong Li wondered.

First, he wants to find a bunch of first-line stars; second, he wants to build a 1906 Hong Kong Central. The other bosses ran away as soon as they heard about it, and now I have it.

Lao Song pushed forward, and there were four big characters: October Victoria City.

As early as 1999, this script was formed, Wei, which means Victoria Harbour. Later, at the suggestion of Su Zhaobin (the director of Sword Rain), it was changed to besieging the city.

In 2001, Chen Desen found an investor, and the list of actors offered was: Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, Liming, Aaron Kwok, Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Li Jiaxin, Zeng Zhiwei...

It has already been prepared, and when SARS happened, the investor committed suicide after SARS.

It has been dragged on for 10 years, and filming started in 2009.

Now there are various evaluations of Sun Yat-sen, so we will not discuss these. Simply speaking, this movie is very suitable for domestic blockbusters, with a lot of stars, good acting, decent writing and drama, and a decent theme.

Even Gong Li understood, and said, Oh, you plan to do the second part of the five-year plan?

It's not that I think, it's Brother Song who is merciful and supports me. Isn't it Brother Song?

Old Song ignored him lazily.

I, you, China Film Group, and the Forbidden City invested in four parties, and exchanged some mainland actors. The city was built in Xiangshan, and I went to the city government to make some money. It would not cost 68 million at all.

But we claim to be a 100 million giant production, an epic blockbuster!

As he spoke, he looked at Gong Li. Gong Li had become a social animal under his command, and said in a panic, I haven't finished shooting A World Without Thieves yet!

You don't need this, you take a rest for a while.

temporary?

There are more important scenes that need you.

Lao Song had some ideas, and asked, If you use a Hong Kong director for two films in a row, will there be criticism from the mainland?

I can't help it. How can there be a commercial film director in the mainland? My five-year plan is not a savior, it's just a transitional stage, but what you said is right, we should consider this aspect...

Teacher Xu thought for a while, Zhang Guoshi has to arrange it, the third part of the five-year plan!

The two of them occupied Gong Li's room to chat, and after a long while, they got out of bed.

Old Song said again: Zhou Xingxing is planning to shoot Shaolin Soccer. Now he and Mrs. Xiang are in a very tense situation. Mrs. Xiang told her that no one is allowed to invest.

What do you think?

There is something to do.

Then do it! By the way, don't ask Zhao Wei to act.

Um?

Lao Song was puzzled, only felt that Mr. Xu's metaphysics was on the line, and he didn't want to see this person very much, he secretly said sorry, and said: Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang also have a script, the story of the police and the gangsters going undercover for each other.

No one voted, but I think it's okay.

Then do it!

Xu Fei repeated and patted him on the shoulder: Don't be timid, the opportunity is rare, Hong Kong movies depend on you!

Hiss!

Lao Song shuddered, and understood the meaning of the words, it was time for Sunshine to become a leader!

At that time, I thought I was the Great Demon King. Who would have thought that there was a Great Demon King standing behind him. Alas, after three years and three years, I finally don't have to be an undercover agent anymore!
