The movie's box office was not bad, and it was hard to win awards. Unfortunately, Awei was defeated by the second palace in the original track... The international chapter won a lot of Best Actress trophies, and Awei's nominations were not too many.

You said that Wang Jiawei prepared this script in 1997, and announced the title and starring role in 2002. This Plane? This Plane Ip Man series of tetralogy appeared earlier. Ip Man 3 cost US$400 million worldwide.

Box office.

Lid has become an international superstar, so it is normal for Lao Wang to be aroused to be creative in advance.

Once Upon a Time became a big hit, and many film crews followed suit and filmed Once Upon a Time.

Zhou Xingxing was overjoyed and said, "With your words from Mr. Zhao, I feel relieved. Then we will decide on a project like this."

In fact, as Zhao Donghuai complained, when he asked this question, he was already very inclined to accept the filming, otherwise he would not have explained so much...

This is nothing more than the original lack of confidence, lack of confidence, and fear of accidents. Find more people to ask and talk to, so that you can build some psychological security for yourself.

With the current size of 100 Years Pictures, and with Zhou Xingxing’s stable sales of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars for several consecutive months, we are really not afraid that a movie will suffer too much loss and cause strong negative effects.

Not only was the film a box office hit, but it also generated an exaggerated amount of revenue for his restaurant group. Even if the monthly sales exceed 100 million, the net profit may only be 20 to 30 million, which is still money.

Then, the news about director Wang Jiawei of 100 Years Pictures has been recognized by big stars that he is actually a cheat...but it is still super attractive to newcomers who are not well-known actors and want to seize the opportunity to rise.

Plus starring Zhou Xingxing??

As soon as this project spread, it bombarded the Chinese film and television industry after New Year's Day. Zhou Xingxing is not only the king of comedy, but also a Kung Fu movie. Talking about acting and performance, the global box office exceeded 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, and Xing contributed at least 10

Appealing power of more than 100 million.

At least the mainland, Hong Kong, Thailand, and South Korea were all organized by him.

When countless recommendation materials were rapidly flowing into 100 Years Pictures looking for opportunities, Zhou Xingxing called the Sunglasses King to his office and handed him a cigarette, "Lao Wang, tell me everything. You can do research and visit Kung Fu masters."

, plus how much time does it take to write the script?"

"Although it is said that the shooting plan will be changed around my schedule, I at least have a foundation."

Wang Jiawei scratched his head and stretched out two fingers to indicate.

Zhou Xingxing breathed out, "Okay, two months is just two months..."

As he was talking, he saw that Lao Wang had a strange expression on his face, and Axing said in shock, "What do you mean?"

Wang Jiawei sneered, "I think it will take about two years, right?"

Ah Xing was immediately dumbfounded.

After he finally controlled his emotions and controlled his expression, he said in disbelief, "It took you two years to do a survey? Are you kidding me? Isn't it just to visit some Kung Fu masters?"

Wang Jiawei continued to explain with a smile, "Master Xing, it's like this. Although I haven't thought about this idea for a long time, I got the inspiration after the invitation failed. But the story of Ip Man is about the Kung Fu Master."

"Actually, I want to take group portraits and historical changes, capture epic backgrounds such as national hatred and family hatred, and talk about the old and new heritage and feelings of the kung fu world."

"So I wanted to make a larger picture, not only traveling all over the world, but also understanding a lot of past events. I feel that Ip Man, Brother Biao, Brother Sanmao and others are more business-oriented, and the description of the epic changes is a bit superficial."

Zhou Xingxing took a deep breath again, "You should have said it earlier, you should have said it earlier..."

You told me earlier, why is he still hesitant to go to Zhao Sheng for comfort? Two years of research and two years before starting a group?

Thinking of this, Ah Xing suddenly waved his hand, "Wait a minute, your estimate of two years... forget it, even if it really starts filming in two years, why do you want me to send out news and recruit actors now?"

Lao Wang scratched his head, "Master Xing, your own Kung Fu foundation is here, other actors may not be able to do it? I ideally would not only talk about Wing Chun, a boxing technique, but it may involve Bagua, Xingyi, Tai Chi, etc."

"Now we are looking for actors and asking them to practice boxing for two years. Once I finish the script, we can start filming according to your schedule, Mr. Xing."

Zhou Xingxing was dumbfounded again, "It's not good for you to deceive people like this, isn't it?"

Wang Jiawei hurriedly explained, "How can this be called cheating? Other actors really don't have your Kung Fu foundation, Master Xing. They can't cast Li Lianjie as a supporting role? I think someone named Zhao Wenzhuo can also give it a try."

"But he probably has some problems with his acting skills at the moment. It will take him a year and a half to learn acting, right?"

"Either regular actors lack Kung Fu foundation, or those who are proficient in martial arts lack acting skills... So these two years can be regarded as a substitute for educational learning opportunities in martial arts schools or acting colleges."

When Lao Wang explained this, Ah Xing became suspicious. What Lao Wang said seemed to make sense? What is the significance of the existence of a martial arts school? What is the significance of the Asian Drama Academy?

You want to pick up a handsome guy or girl from the street and start shooting directly? It seems that the other person has won the first prize, but for those who graduated from formal martial arts schools or professional classes, doesn’t it mean that their studies have been in vain?

Even Ah Xing himself was in a regular TVB training class. After working as a supporting actor for several years, he worked his way up to the supporting actor role step by step.

In this dimension, he also entered the industry in 1980 and took over the funny male policeman to leave the industry at the end of 1984. It took more than four years...

After defeating Wang Jiawei's logic, he complained, "At this stage, there are no candidates with good acting skills and good kung fu skills. For example, Li Saifeng? Ah Feng is the heroine in the film, and her guest appearance is also very popular."

At this stage, Ah Feng is 26 years old, and she is also the age group where a young lady can best fight. She has good looks and figure. The key is that since 1986, she has officially studied Northern Kung Fu for several years.

Studying under Xu Xiaoming also belongs to Nanquan North Leg, and I learned the essence of North Leg.

Wang Jiawei also nodded, "That's right, Ah Feng will definitely do it, but I haven't decided whether to invite her or not. If so, it won't be too late to wait until I finish the script before making an appointment. Like you, Mr. Xing, during this period I

Are you slowly looking into casting other actors?"

Axing thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then try to recruit new people during the inspection period. Try not to trick the already famous actors and stars."

Wang Jiawei nodded repeatedly, "No problem, you can rest assured that I will do the work."

Watching Lao Wang go again, Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but sigh. Forget it, let's practice boxing a few times to get a feel for it. He thought he could get it done in 1991. He was so happy and lonely.

………………

A few days later, the world's film industry was still under full bombardment, and Zhao Donghuai took a car to the set to visit the cast.

This movie was filmed by two teams and shot in the same school. The heroine, who is a hearing girl, is in the period before taking the college entrance examination, and there are not many scenes in school.

The filming location was a middle school in Kowloon Tong.

After he arrived at the crew, he waved his hands to the crew members who had stirred up after hearing his arrival, indicating that everyone should just film quietly... When he arrived outside a certain classroom, he saw that a scene was being filmed where a music teacher was teaching a group of students to practice breathing and vocal knowledge.

lens.

What we are filming now is the Chinese female lead version. As the protagonist, Zhang Min still has a lot of shots. And among a group of supporting students, there are actually Sakai Izumi and Yang Yuying??

He himself was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was normal. A group of students and even a famous singer came to guest appearance and played a supporting role for Zhang Min. Isn't it right?

In addition, in the original version, a male actor was rehearsing the song and dance with the heroine, and the love scene was fleeting and superficial. This version has deleted the love scene, which is the female partner, the supporting actress Zhang Min, and Winona Ray.

De plays the role of bestie.

Of course there are male students in the classmate group, after all, the music class cannot only admit girls... Ren Xianqi was also there, but when his eyes fell on a handsome boy, he felt a little surprised again.

That was Jincheng Wu. The 18-year-old Ah Wu is also a good example. Although Ah Wu is of mixed race and island nationality, he can speak Mandarin and English well, so he is a good youngster.

If he can cultivate a new idol like Sakai Izumi when he is preparing to attack the island country market, then it is not a big deal to discover Ah Wu and give him a chance once in a while.

Kanejo, who is from the island country, is paired with Izumi Sakai, and occasionally Shizuka Kudo, Akina Nakamori, etc., and they can be massacred in the island country by just acting in idol dramas. After all, Kudo and Nakamori started guest starring in idol dramas in 1987.

of.

He was still thinking when the director in the classroom called a call. As soon as a group of actors relaxed, many people noticed Zhao Donghuai, and the scene suddenly...

Even quieter than during previous performances.

It was Amin who came over and hugged him with a smile, "Boss, why are you here free?"

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Come and take a look, it's nothing serious anyway."

After following him, he said to his left and right, "Okay, just do whatever you need to do, don't worry too much."

After he left the classroom with Armin, he finally became more popular, and then Winona Ryder appeared out of nowhere, rushed to him and said happily, "Boss, Sister Min's acting is so good.

I was beaten down."

Let this kind of flattery go unnoticed, Zhao Donghuai said a few casual polite words, and then Winona said, "By the way, Yongsheng sent me another film contract before, saying that they wanted 5 million US dollars to hire me to star in Taiping Wheel? This project

Isn’t it a little strange?”

Zhang Min was surprised, "Aren't all the people on the Taiping Wheel Chinese?"

Winona explained with a smile, "It seems, there are no white people on the Taiping Ferry passenger list anyway, right? Depp was also offered a film contract there, worth 10 million U.S. dollars, and Depp has already accepted... I don't really want to act,

Either the pay is lower than in Hollywood, or I think the movie is weird."

Zhao Donghuai is also speechless. The investment of Tai Ping Lun is really going to increase from 200 million to more than 300 million. One Depp is worth 78 million Hong Kong dollars in salary!

Lao Li and the Xiang family are really generous.

That is to say, Zhao Donghuai didn't know that Wu Yusen also proposed to build a model of a large ship like the Titanic, but was rejected by the Xiang brothers, otherwise he would have to wait in advance to see the big joke.

Please invite the princess. This is being discussed in secret, and I haven’t really dared to go directly.

Lao Wang and Lao Wu are truly masters that investors cannot pursue.

The more I looked at Tai Ping Lun, the more serious the fight became. Afterwards, I suffered a huge loss and even if I dismantled Lao Wu, I couldn't get back my money.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhao Donghuai took Zhang Min to the custom-made RV, pointed to a three-layer food box on the dining table and said, "I have been busy for a few hours, let's add some food."

He came to visit the crew and also brought some food and delicacies to the crew. The bodyguards started distributing it when he got into the car. As for the food in the box, it was made by Zhao Donghuai himself...

It's not that he is deliberately showing off his skills, it's just that Guan Jiahui and Zhou Huimin's due date is getting closer and closer. The girl occasionally acts coquettishly and wants to taste his cooking, so she cooks it a few times. As early as 1984, he developed master-level cooking skills in the eight major cuisines.

.

Later, he was upgraded to the master level. Even if he didn't do much cooking, he would still be no worse than the state banquet chef.

This kind of thing, several girlfriends know that he is a great cook, but he rarely cooks on a daily basis.

Amin was surprised and walked over and sat in front of the dining table and opened the food box. Inside was a layer of rice, two layers of vegetables, and four dishes.
