Rebirth Starts From 2006

,!

Chen Yang was not surprised at all by Master Han's request.

He immediately smiled and said, "The third master is loyal and willing to take the initiative to share the risks. Of course I can't ask for it."

Then he pointed at Liu Hongbo and said, "Just arrange for someone to connect with Mr. Liu."

Mr. Han was naturally very satisfied when he saw Boss Chen being so polite. He picked up his wine glass and made another toast.

Just listen to the talk about risk sharing. Boss Chen went out for three months and brought back one movie, two variety shows, and several short films.

Is this someone who is afraid of risks?

I'm afraid that little investment is not enough to put a hole in his teeth.

Besides, this film doesn’t require many special effects, and it doesn’t have many big stars, but the prices charged are friendly prices. I’m afraid the investment is not as big as Jiang Wen’s film.

So this is entirely a matter of Boss Chen giving him Mr. Han's face and giving China Film a chance to be the producer of a film that might be released in Hollywood.

After five veteran American screenwriters and two major directors, Lee Eucalyptus and Spielberg, checked the script, no one doubted that the film could be released in Hollywood and achieve certain results.

The key depends on how big this achievement can be.

What if it explodes like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon? !

This is also the reason why Mr. Han lowered his face and took the initiative to invest.

He may not care about the return on investment, but he cannot care about the title of a Chinese-language film that may become popular in the European and American markets.

Even if it only takes a return ratio of half of the investment, as long as the film is popular, China Film will make huge profits.

For Boss Chen, being able to establish a relationship with Mr. Han and directly cooperate with China Film will also be beneficial to the future development of the big entertainment platform.

This is how the so-called partners come about. You give me a hand, I give you a hand, and we all get rich together!

After finalizing the cooperation, the atmosphere at the wine table became more harmonious.

Let's chat about ancient times, from now to the past, and then to the golden years of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s.

"Speaking of which, the 1980s were the best days for martial arts in Hong Kong."

Speaking in broken Mandarin, Yuan Baye said with emotion, "At that time, we couldn't even catch up in time. We had to go to five or six shows a day, and some martial arts masters had to fall hundreds of somersaults. The dragon and tiger martial arts masters at that time were also happy, and some Make money,

Now I can’t, so I can only look for memories in old movies. "

"There are still good times, we just have to keep pace with the times,"

Cheng Long said with a smile, "Although special effects are becoming more and more important in movies, people will always make movies, so it's impossible to make a movie with all special effects.

Even if there are such wealthy film companies, aren't there more small and medium-sized film companies, and not all films require special effects?

I think the script comes first, and the people come second. All other special effects and stunts serve the script and the actors. "

If it were more than ten years ago, he would not be interested at all in such an indifferent banquet.

But as I get older, my thoughts and personality have changed a lot. It’s nice to sit and drink and chat with a few like-minded people. There’s no need to bring a few female stars with you. Create an atmosphere,

Of course, it was also because Mrs. Chen was here today. Otherwise, he would definitely have arranged for a few female celebrities to come over to warm up the scene.

You chatted with each other, and everyone was reminiscing about the golden age of Chinese-language films. Not only Hong Kong films, but also the mainland film industry at that time produced many classic and good films. Even during the Republic of China, there were many A classic movie that is still praised by people today.

"Road Angel", "Crows and Sparrows", "Seventy-Two Tenants", "Fishing Light Song", "A River of Spring Water Flows East",...

Later war films such as "Heroic Sons and Daughters", "Shangganling"..., folk legend films "Liu Sanjie", "Ashima\

,"Even the films made by the five generations of directors after the reform, such as "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine\

,"In any era, excellent films have been made.

As time goes by, technology is becoming more and more advanced, but there seem to be fewer and fewer good movies.

Master Yuan Baye held the wine glass and let out a long sigh with emotion. He was about to eat some food to suppress the alcohol. Suddenly, his heart moved. He looked up at Chen Yang and asked, "Director Chen, I want to ask, is this movie yours?" Come and be the director yourself?”

Chen Yang grinned and laughed, "It's true that I am the director, but I am also a nominal director. During the actual shooting, we, Mr. Liu, are still needed."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Liu Hongbo, then turned to say, "I need Mr. Liu to find me some literary drama directors, martial arts directors, plot directors, art directors, in short,"

He raised his head and laughed, "I'll just keep my name, and let the executive director do all the other things for me. Then I'll see the final result."

Those people looked at him and laughed along with him.

This is normal, otherwise Boss Chen, a person who has never..., well, made a movie, would direct this movie alone. None of them would have much confidence in this movie. Can take good pictures.

When Chen Yang's laughter subsided, Yuan Baye over there smiled and said, "Director Chen, what do you think I do as a martial arts director for you?"

When Chen Yang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "That relationship is so good, I can't ask for it!"

Yuan Baye started doing martial arts in 1970 and directed for the first time in 1978. He filmed the "Drunken Master" that made Cheng Long popular. After that, he worked as a martial arts director for many classic movies. , "Dark Man", "The Matrix", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Kung Fu", "The King of Kung Fu\

,"One can imagine the depth of his directing skills, especially his martial arts skills. In this regard, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long are a bit inferior to him. The title of the best martial arts finger in the world is not given for nothing.

With him as the martial arts director, the martial arts scenes in this movie will be limited no matter how low-level it is.

At this time, Yuan Baye said again, "Dr. Chen, I have a small suggestion. You can see if it is suitable."

Chen Yang raised his hand and said, "Please speak."

Yuan Baye glanced at Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long beside him and said, "There are such a group of people in Xiangjiang who have shed blood and sweat for Xiangjiang movies. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as 'fighting for their lives'.

Nowadays they can’t be beaten, and many people have even forgotten them,”

At this point, everyone understood that he was talking about the Longhu martial arts group in Xiangjiang. Everyone couldn't help but fell silent and looked at him seriously.

After a pause, Yuan Baye continued, "I have read the script of your "One Man's Martial Arts" over and over again. No matter how Li Yu and Spielberg revised it later, the core plot of it is still about Martial Arts. The story of "Already Far Away\

,"This reminds me of the dragon and tiger warriors who worked hard for the glory of our movie.

Just now I thought that in addition to the starring role, this movie also needs a lot of supporting roles. Can I hire our old filmmakers to play these supporting roles?"

He said and smiled, "I mean, it's not just the dragon and tiger martial arts masters, but also the veteran actors, veteran directors, producers, artists, editors, cameramen, and so on, in front of and behind the scenes. ,

Invite them over and shoot a scene in the movie,

Even if there is only one shot and a simple appearance of the face, it can be regarded as a tribute to the old filmmakers of that generation.

Do you think this is appropriate? "

After he finished speaking, Chen Yang immediately said seriously, "Of course it's appropriate,"

He turned to look at Han Sanye, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long, "It is a great honor for me to invite these people to participate in this movie!"

Third Master Han also pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Master Eight, your idea is very good,"

Then he laughed and said, "Isn't this movie going to be shot in the United States, France, Hong Kong and the Mainland? For the plot in Hong Kong, we will invite filmmakers from Hong Kong to participate. What supporting roles are needed for the plot in the Mainland?" , I’m looking for someone,

It can be regarded as my little sympathy for mainland filmmakers. "

Originally, what Mr. Han was thinking was that since Boss Chen was giving him face, he might as well lend a hand and find some celebrities to make guest appearances, which could also be regarded as Easter eggs for the audience.

But after hearing Yuan Baye's suggestion, he also felt that it would be more meaningful to invite old filmmakers to participate in the show and pay tribute to them, so he proposed it without hesitation.

Chen Yang was naturally very happy with this proposal. Putting aside other interests, he felt it was only natural to have the opportunity to pay tribute to the older generation of filmmakers.

In this way, this new martial arts film that he was preparing to test the waters of Hollywood gradually turned into an all-star masterpiece with the joint efforts of many parties.

He couldn't wait to see what the movie would look like.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, it was almost two o'clock that the meal was finished.

Everyone came out of the box, drunk and laughing. After chatting briefly in the corridor outside, Mr. Han was the first to say goodbye.

After he left, Cheng Long walked up to Chen Yang with a red face and smelled of alcohol, and said with a smile, "Director Chen, then I will wait for your movie to start."

Chen Yang smiled, nodded and was about to speak, then heard him say again, "Director Chen, I have a small request. I want to give my son a small role in it. Do you think it's okay?" convenient?"

Of course, his purpose is not as simple as a small role. The main purpose is to pave the way for his son. Not to mention that this drama is co-produced by Chen Yang and Han Sanye, two of the biggest giants in the industry. , enough to make a big cast,

He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to build relationships.

But surprisingly, such a small request, which could not even be specified, made Chen Yang hesitate.

Chen Yang patted Zou Rong's little hand holding his arm, and Zou Rong immediately let go. Then Chen Yang smiled and nodded at Yuan Baye and Hong Jinbao to express his apology. Then he approached Cheng Long and whispered, "Brother Long, please take a step to speak."

Cheng Long was stunned for a moment, looked at him blankly, then looked around and pointed to a box next to him, "It's okay here."

After saying that, he opened the door and went in. Chen Yang followed him into the room and closed the door smoothly.

The others looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Boss Chen was trying to do.

The sound insulation effect of the room here is very good. Everyone in the corridor can hardly hear what is said inside.

But not long after the two entered, they vaguely heard Cheng Long yelling "What?"

But it quickly became quiet again,

It made several people feel itchy for a while. Boss Chen went to Cheng Long alone to find out what they talked about.

Seven or eight minutes later, the door to the box was opened, and Chen Yang came out first, his expression unchanged.

Behind him, Cheng Long walked out with a livid face. When he saw Yuan Baye and Hong Jinbao asking him with their eyes, he just forced a smile.

Then he turned to Chen Yang, raised his hands, and bowed deeply.

Without waiting for Chen Yang to help him, he stood up and said seriously, "I won't say any more words of thanks. If Director Chen needs anything in the future, as long as you call someone to notify him, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

After speaking, he said to Yuan Baye and Hong Jinbao, "Senior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother, I have something important to do, so I'll take the first step."

Without waiting for a reply from the two of them, he quickly walked out. As he walked, he suddenly ran away, as if he was going to put out a fire.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone was shocked.

Especially Yuan Baye and Hong Jinbao. They have known Cheng Long for so many years. When had they ever seen him like this? !

Turning around to look at Boss Chen, he just smiled and shrugged without saying a word.

Everyone knew that this must be the result, otherwise Boss Chen wouldn't have taken Cheng Long to talk to him alone, but they still couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

…

After coming out of the hotel, Zou Rong glanced behind her. Liu Hongbo was consciously hanging far behind, and whispered, "What did you just say to Cheng Long?"

Chen Yang curled his lips and said softly, "It's just a little thing about his son."

After a pause, he added, "His son grew up abroad for a long time and has some bad habits."

As she spoke, she made a twitching gesture. Zou Rong rolled her eyes slightly and quickly realized, "He actually did this?"

She went to the United States last year and happened to see that scene. Chen Yang specifically explained it to her at the time, so she remembered it very clearly. As soon as Chen Yang made a gesture, she remembered it.

Chen Yang put his hands in his pockets and said as he walked,

"I don't care whether his son has any problems or what will happen to him in the future, but as long as he is in the country, our frontline police officers may be in danger because of his consumption.

Every year, countless police officers sacrifice their lives in the fight against drugs. If Cheng Long could take his son abroad or continue to stay in the country, as long as he didn't touch it, maybe a few fewer people would die.

Otherwise, I wouldn't care about his life or death. "

Even if this kind of thing was reported, it would be of little use. Later, the person was only imprisoned for half a year.

Now just give it to Cheng Long and ask him to handle it. Maybe he can get away with it and find out the industrial chain behind it. The value is much greater than a reporting phone number.

When Zou Rong heard the news, her enthusiasm waned for a moment. She couldn't figure out why some people just let go of their good lives and insist on harming themselves and others.

Chen Yang turned to look at her, held her hand, and said with a smile, "So, we need to make more positive works to guide society to be positive. This is why we, as people in the literary and art circles, pay tribute to the frontline police officers. The way."
