Rebirth: I Want to Surf

From Taiwan to Hong Kong, it takes more than an hour by plane and more than ten hours or even longer by boat.

In the golden age of entertainment between the two places, countless entertainers came and went on this route every day, going up and down. The rich took flights, the poor took boats, or the black ones ran away.

There's nothing wrong with him, Heisehui can be considered a member of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Hong Kong Airport.

Zhang Xiaoyan walked out with her assistant carrying luggage. She saw someone holding a sign and walked up to him: "Hello, are you from Hugelive?"

"Hello, Sister Xiaoyan, I'm here to pick you up!"

"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Where is the car?"

"Over there, I'll take you there first."

The two found a business car and put their luggage away. Zhang Xiaoyan took a look at his posture and the car and asked, "Is there anyone else?"

"Yes, there are a few more guests, please wait a moment."

"it does not matter!"

Zhang Xiaoyan didn't take it seriously.

She has lived to be 68 years old, and has never experienced anything. She has long been indifferent to big things and small things. Now, as the planning director of Hugelive Taiwan, she is only willing to pay for five buckets of rice and finally earn some pension money.

She was born in Shanghai, and she is somewhat distantly related to Zhang Ailing: her grandfather is Zhang Ailing's uncle.

After waiting for a while, the door was opened again and a man came up.

Zhang Xiaoyan knew he was Korean at first glance. Sure enough, the other party introduced himself: "Jin Minyong, Hugelive Korea Director!"

The two of them didn't know each other, so they just said hello, each brought an assistant, and there were four people in the car. The driver stopped waiting and drove away.

Zhang Xiaoyan has rarely come to Hong Kong in recent years. As she looked at the scenery outside the window along the way, she felt that nothing had changed, it was still the same as before. It’s just that it looked foreign in the past, but now it looks old and stale.

"I don't know much about Taiwan's entertainment culture. I'm very sorry. I'm more familiar with Hong Kong. Leslie Cheung, Joey Wong, Chow Yun-fat, etc. are all actors we like very much."

Jin Minyong took the initiative to chat.

Zhang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Don't be sorry. I used to watch Hong Kong movies, and Taiwanese movies too. I have interviewed all the people you mentioned, and they are all my good friends."

"Oh Mo, you are such a respected senior!"

Jin Minyong flattered him and asked, "Do you know why you called us here this time?"

"I don't know. The news I received is that I'm here to hold Hugelive's annual meeting."

"Annual meeting? Me too, but I always feel that there are other things."

Jin Minyong paused and swallowed the second half of his words without speaking.

Recently, due to THAAD and the Korean restriction order, everyone in China is lamenting that they have lost their largest overseas market. But he was very excited and thought it was a good time for Hugelive.

There are traitors in the world and there are traitors in the state. His thinking is that "South Korea needs to be saved" and he is extremely fanatical about his work.

Therefore, he hoped to have corresponding development plans during this meeting.

Not long after, the car stopped in front of the Peninsula Hotel.

After the two of them had walked in, several more people came in. Everyone looked at each other, and a man spoke English with a strong Japanese flavor and said, "Are they all attending the meeting?"

After receiving the affirmation, he immediately handed over his business card, nodded and bowed: "I am Ken Kitano, the art director of Japan. This is our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"I know you, "The Naked Director" was your work?"

A Russian spoke.

"It's just my humble work, it's ridiculous!"

After a slight delay, they went upstairs one after another.

Zhang Xiaoyan received a booklet that read the meeting procedures and was quite shocked. Unknowingly, Hugelive has covered 50 countries and regions.

The United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. are still mainly in North America and Asia, but have expanded to South America and Europe such as Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Britain, France, and Germany. .

Hugelive's architecture is different from Netflix.

Netflix operates on a continent-by-continent basis, such as its Asia headquarters, which has the Korean Business Department, Japan Business Department, etc., all working together.

Hugelive, however, has separate offices in countries or regions, and specially hires responsible persons to deeply cultivate the local entertainment industry. These responsible persons are equivalent to the general managers of the branches.

Zhang Xiaoyan took a short rest in her room. She had nothing to do. She was about to take a nap when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door, and the visitor was quite unexpected.

"Director Wang, why are you here?"

"I heard that Sister Xiaoyan is coming, of course I will come to visit."

The person who came was none other than Wang Jing. He handed over his business card in a decent manner and said, "I am currently working at Hugelive together with Director Peter Chan and Director Tsui Hark."

"Hey, what are you responsible for?"

"There are no specific matters. To put it simply, it is to allow Hong Kong practitioners to cooperate with external parties to film film and television dramas that are popular in Asia and even the world. We are currently filming a Japanese comic adaptation of "Gambling Apocalypse"."

"Wow, you look so classy!"

Zhang Xiaoyan invited him in. She had done interviews with Wang Jing before, so she was no stranger. The host was good at that and had a wide network of contacts - otherwise, how could He Jiong be so open-minded.

"You work for Hugelive, so you won't make movies in the future?"

"What else are you filming? Hong Kong films are monopolized by Boss Yao, and the Academy Awards have been shattered... For example, I have a film "Macau 2" starring Chow Yun-fat and Nick Cheung. Because of the incident in Hong Kong, this film It doesn’t even have a chance to be released, what do you think I can do?”

Wang Jing sighed and said: "I am 61 years old this year and I am still filming. Firstly, I have the energy and want to make a little money. Secondly, I want to help these brothers so that everyone has a job and food to eat.

Now it's better, people are taking away their jobs. One website supports all practitioners in Hong Kong, and we are no longer needed.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and I will not be ashamed if I take refuge in the past.

And Boss Yao is really courageous. You may not know what kind of film he wants to make. You must know about "Train to Busan". Now we are preparing a spin-off series of "Train to Busan", and I have a little bit of participation rights. "

"A spin-off series? I heard about it. What's wrong?"

"Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Russia, seven companies jointly produced, 8 episodes, each episode has a budget of 20 million US dollars..."

Wang Jing told the outline of the story.

The plot follows "Train to Busan". The virus has spread to East and Southeast Asia, and even Russia has been affected. Zombies have broken out on a large scale and countless people have been displaced.

Hong Kong has become a gathering place for refugees.

For a time, it was like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the Kowloon Walled City reappeared, giving birth to a large number of black and white businesses.

The protagonist has a team, both good and evil, who work for money. Occasionally there is a big business that requires a lot of effort, usually going overseas to countries occupied by zombies.

Once I went to South Korea to get a piece of top-secret information related to the United States, and found that the US military base had also been transformed into corpses.

In order to fight for the information, the United States sent people, and the next door also sent people... In the end, the nuclear bomb cleared the ground, and there was a button at the end. The nuclear bomb might have been launched by the United States, or it might have been launched by the next door.

"Just one word, admire!"

Wong Jing gave a thumbs up, he was really awesome, he never did this even in the golden age of Hong Kong movies.

(besides……)
