All-in-one Sign

"Dududu..."

A beeping busy tone came from the hung up phone, indicating the end of the call.

After talking to Xu Ang, Hong Dabao did not put down the phone, but quickly dialed another number.

Soon, the call was connected, and Zhen Gongfu's voice came over the phone: "Master Bao, how are things going? Do they still want to replace someone?"

It can be seen that Zhen Kungfu is very anxious. It is rare for him to participate in such a big production by a big director. Even if it is just a supporting role, he is not willing to miss it.

You must know that this is the first time that a movie with such investment as Hero has been made in China. The investment in the movie alone exceeded 100 million, not to mention that it was directed by Lao Mouzi.

It is impossible for a movie like this to make a profit under the current market environment in the Mainland. Even if the markets of Daiwan and Hong Kong Island are included, it will probably lose money.

If a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan wants to make money back or even make money, it must go to the international market.

Coincidentally, Xiaoxiao Media and Hollywood's upstart Pixar have the same boss, so there is no connection between the two. It is conceivable that after Lao Mouzi finishes filming Hero, Xiaoxiao Media will definitely let the film enter the North American market through Pixar.

In other words, it is certain that the film will enter the international market.

In this era where stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China are all yearning for Hollywood, even if others only give them a shot of showing their faces, they will flock to it. Being able to participate in a major production that will be released in North America is a heavy qualification.

In view of its huge contribution to his future development, Zhen Gongfu takes it very seriously. Because of this, when he learned that he might be replaced, he couldn't sit still. In order to keep his role, he even used his family connections and asked Hong Dabao to come forward to speak out.

He waited anxiously for Hong Dabao's reply, but Hong Dabao didn't let him wait any longer and told him directly: "The change of roles has been decided, and this cannot be changed."

Zhen Gongfu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and was stunned on the spot.

In such an important drama, his role in it has been overshadowed by others. How can she accept it?

"Why? Master Bao, why is this? There is nothing you can do, Master Bao."

Zhen Gongfu was very unwilling.

He originally thought that Xiaoxiao Media would have to give some face to Hong Dabao, but he didn't expect that these mainlanders would not show any kindness at all.

"I understand how you feel, but..."

After a pause, Hong Dabao asked: "What was your performance during the filming? Why did they rather replace you than delay the filming schedule?"

Zhen Kungfu: "Master Bao, you can't blame me for this. It's true that a scene between me and Lian Jie was retaken multiple times, but it wasn't all my fault. There were many times when Lian Jie made mistakes. It caused the lens to disappear.”

When Hong Dabao heard this, he became very angry.

"If you say so, that means you have it?"

"Don't say those evasive words to me. Lian Jie is the leading actor and you are not. He can take multiple shots and ask the director to reshoot them repeatedly, but you can't. You compare yourself with Lian Jie. No wonder they say you have a bad attitude. I was worried that you would affect the shooting schedule, so I took advantage of the fact that you didn’t take many shots and found someone to replace you.”

Can the protagonist and supporting characters be treated the same?

The answer is obvious.

If it were really the same, there would be no distribution of masters.

Just like Hong Dabao scolded Zhen Kung Fu, Lian Jie is the leading actor and a famous superstar. He has privileges as a director. But if you are good at Zhen Kung Fu, people will ask: "Who are you?"

What people fear most is not being able to understand their status and situation, and yet still feel good about themselves.

Obviously, Zhen Kungfu made such a mistake.

Hong Dabao said to him: "Don't stay here for the Heroes crew. Pack your things and come back quickly. If a supporting character is lost, it is lost. I happen to have a good book here. It is a co-production film that Xiaoxiao Media asked us to do. The protagonist in it is I think you can act."

What you gain is Dongqi, and what you lose is Mulberry.

She lost a supporting role in the Heroes series, but got a leading role in another movie. Zhen didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

He asked Hong Dabao uneasily: "Are you telling the truth? Do you really want me to play the leading role? Master Bao, what do you think the people at Xiaoxiao Media think? Isn't this compensation for taking my role?"

Hong Dabao was too lazy to answer the question. He only said to Zhen Gongfu: "Hurry back and finalize the protagonist, otherwise you can't blame me if someone else takes it away."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

At this time, his assistant walked to him with a script that had just been faxed, and handed it to him with both hands, still smelling of ink.

Hong Dabao hadn't read the content of the script in detail, but only saw six words written on the cover of the script - "One Man's Martial Arts".

After receiving the script, Hong Dabao read it over as a habit, and then asked his assistant: "What are the regulations of Xiaoxiao Media regarding this drama?"

With Hong Dabao's current status in the world, before the decline of the Hong Kong circle, he had the same status as Zheng Jiajia, and even had more weight in the circle than Zheng Jiajia. Normally, Hong Dabao wouldn't care too much about Xiaoxiao Media's thoughts. Anyway, if the two sides have differences, it's not too late to talk about it.

But after talking to Xu Ang just now and Xu Ang asked Zheng Jiajia to bring it to him, Hong Dabao can no longer think that way.

Xu Ang can obviously talk to him directly, so why should Zheng Jiajia be the messenger? Isn't the meaning obvious enough?

That clearly told Hong Dabao that Xu Ang was standing behind Xiaoxiao Media.

I think of Lian Hua

Xing's Long Wu was very restrained in front of Xu Ang, how could Hong Dabao dare to take the airs of a Hong Kong boss.

I'm not a Canadian. I'll discuss it with you if I have something to do. That's alright.

The assistant replied: "Xiaoxiao Media has decided on the role of Feng Yuxiu and the role of junior sister Xia Houwu. They also let us keep it. The other ones they said can be discussed. As for the protagonist Xia Houwu, they said we will leave it to ourselves. Certainly."

"That's good."

Hong Dabao was very satisfied with the result.

Listening to what Xiaoxiao Media means, except for Feng Yuxiu, they don't care too much about other characters, so Hong Dabao has enough room for maneuver. Even though he is a big boss, he still has to use profits to maintain his position and provide benefits to those who are willing to follow him, so that others will listen to him.

As for Xia Houwu's junior sister, Hong Dabao didn't care much.

A supporting role with not many scenes is not as important as winning the protagonist.

In this case, after Zhen Gongfu returns to Hong Kong Island, I will have an explanation for his family, so that I won't lose face.

After sorting out Zhen Kung Fu, Hong Dabao ordered his assistant: "Go and buy me a set of Marvel comics. I'll find them of great use. By the way, those are American comics, don't make a mistake."

Thinking of what Xu Ang said to him on the phone, Hong Dabao was very excited.

As for Hollywood and blockbusters, I can actually shoot them too.
