Chapter 40 Live for Your Dreams

“Crack.

The door to the high-end apartment was opened.

Mr. Tang, who was watching TV on the sofa, raised his head and met Zhang Guorong's eyes as he walked in.

"Come back? So soon?"

"Um."

Zhang Guorong put on his slippers, put the script of "The Embalmer" on the table, and rubbed his nose in distress.

"Tang Sheng, what do you think of me going to the mainland to develop?"

"What?" Tang Hede frowned and looked at the script on the table: "Is this book good?"

"It's very good." Zhang Guorong handed the script to Tang Hede, "Although this director is very young, he is really good."

"At least he is very good at writing scripts, no worse than Wong Kar."

Wong Kar, also known as the King of Sunglasses, is recognized in Hong Kong circles as the director who is best at writing scripts.

For Wu Yuan to receive this evaluation, at least in the eyes of people in Hong Kong, it is already the highest praise.

Tang Hede curiously took the script and started reading it.

As expected, Tang Hede quickly became immersed in the script.

After a long while, he raised his head and said solemnly: "The writing is indeed very good, and it has the potential to win an award."

"You want to take pictures?"

Zhang Guorong nodded, "But if I want to take on this drama, I have to stop my work for half a year. Just like when I was filming "Farewell My Concubine," I go to the mainland to experience life and follow the crew every day.

"I'm very willing to take on this drama, but I'm just worried that fans won't be able to accept it."

Zhang Guorong is a person who loves fans very much. He is afraid that if he goes to the mainland for half a year to a year and cannot show up on Hong Kong Island, the fans will be unhappy or dissatisfied.

It is precisely because he pays so much attention to his fans and puts them on an equal footing that he has become a well-known Asian superstar.

But Tang Hede could tell that Zhang Guorong liked this movie very much and wanted to make it.

Sure enough, he then said: "Also, this director Wu said that he is willing to help me connect with the China Film Group in the Mainland to make my movie "Stealing Hearts" together."

"You know, no film company here on Hong Kong Island is willing to invest in this movie, and my biggest dream is to be a director and make a movie of my own."

Zhang Guorong also knew that he might have been too excited after hearing the conditions promised by Wu Yuan, and he was already a little impulsive and irrational.

So he stared closely at Tang Hede, hoping to hear words of persuasion from him.

Tang Hede has always been Zhang Guorong's "good helper". He has given him full support in both career and life, and has given correct advice at many critical moments.

Unlike Zhang Guorong, who is very emotional and prone to impulsiveness and enthusiasm when encountering problems, Tang Hede is an extremely rational and steady person.

Regarding Zhang Guorong's often overheated emotions, he knew how to use calm and rational words and actions to calm Zhang Guorong and re-examine his mentality.

But this time, Tang Hede did not do so.

He looked at Zhang Guorong with a smile and said calmly: "Leslie, if you want to take pictures, go ahead and take pictures.

"You have left so many popular songs in the music industry and countless masterpieces in the film industry. You are worthy of your fans."

"Now, you should also live for your dreams."

"People still have to be selfish sometimes. You just can't learn to be selfish. Treat everyone and everything, whether they love you or not, with full tolerance."

"Since you have this opportunity to make an excellent movie and pave the way for your dream of directing, why not do it?"

Zhang Guorong looked at Tang Hede blankly, "Then I will take it?"

"Why not?" Tang Hede responded with a gentle smile.

He didn't say anything to reject the film, and then contacted China Film and Television to invest.

Coming from a background in the financial industry, he knows very well that if you want to obtain benefits, there are conditions in exchange.

If Zhang Guorong wants to get support from China Film Group, he can't go around Wu Yuan.

When Wu Yuan asked someone to contact Zhang Guorong, Tang Hede had already investigated this new mainland director.

To put it in one sentence, Wu Yuan's status in China Film Group is like Xie Tingfeng's status in the King of England. He is a prince.

Wu Yuan, who was born in the Beijing Film Academy, is now so talented and capable as a director. Although he cannot influence China Film, his opinions and suggestions will be seriously considered by China Film.

If Zhang Guorong really acted like eating the sugar-coated stuff and hitting it back with cannonballs, then he would not even think about going north, and the entire Beijing circle would support Wu Yuan.

And there is no need for it. The script of "The Embalmer" is indeed very good, and it is worth Zhang Guorong's half a year to refine.

After receiving the support and affirmation from her beloved, Zhang Guorong became visibly excited.

He clapped his hands excitedly: "This is really a good movie. I have a hunch that if the performance is good, maybe I really have a chance to win the top three best actor awards in Europe!"

"This way I have no regrets in my career as an actor and can pursue my dream of being a director!"

Zhang Guorong's achievements as an actor are indeed very high. Many of his films have become popular throughout Asia, especially in Japan and South Korea, and he has won many awards.

The only thing that makes him regretful is that he has only won one Academy Award for Best Actor among the serious heavyweight Best Actor awards.

Although he has won many Best Actor awards in RB, they are not heavy enough and cannot be used as representative awards.

It would be great if I could have one of the three major European actor trophies as a curtain call for my acting career.

Tang Hede was also happy to see Zhang Guorong so happy. The two had been together for nearly 20 years and could be said to understand each other best. He knew clearly how long Zhang Guorong had dreamed of becoming a director, how much effort he had made for this dream, and how much sadness he had.

Now that he saw his beloved finally had the opportunity to realize his dream, his joy was no less than that of Zhang Guorong.

"Get rid of all the work at hand as soon as possible, stop all that can be stopped temporarily, and finish the notices that cannot be postponed in the next one or two months."

"Then leave time for this director Wu Yuan."

Tang Hede suggested calmly, while thinking in his mind how to deal with Zhang Guorong's work next, which ones can be given up directly, and which ones have to pay some benefits.

For Zhang Guorong, money and profit are no longer the first goal to pursue, and there is nothing to regret about giving up some things.

Zhang Guorong, who was standing by, was holding the script, reading it over and over again, sketching out what the scene would look like.

In professional terms, he was imagining the storyboard composition, which is also one of the necessary qualities of an excellent director.

The more he thought about it, the better Zhang Guorong felt that the script was, and it was suitable for him.

"Hey, Mr. Tang, did Director Wu decide on the heroine?" Thinking about it, Zhang Guorong suddenly said excitedly: "I think this heroine is very suitable for Ah Mei to play!"

"Ah Mei doesn't have much work now, right? She only released a collection album this year?"

Tang Hede was no longer surprised by Zhang Guorong's character of acting on his whim.

He pursed his lips helplessly, "Let's invite Director Wu to our home to talk about the script first. Maybe he has already decided on other actors?"

"Invite to our home?" Zhang Guorong was a little surprised.

"Yes." Tang Hede nodded, with a light smile on his face: "I also want to meet this talented director from the mainland."

"I heard that he is still directing in Hollywood. There is only one Wu Baige in Hong Kong who can compare with him!"

"I will have to deal with him a lot in the future. Let's meet him first and have a deep chat."

Please read it!!! Today is the second round of recommendations. If you want to advance to the next round, you need to have better reading data. Brothers, please help!!!

The previous article was modified. The plot of the big foreign horse was deleted. I think this plot has no meaning to the main text. Instead, it affects the overall style of writing. I really can't write a male protagonist who shoots everywhere.
