Chapter 672 I’m Going, It’s so Inspiring (Part 1)

Chapter 672 I’m going, it’s so... inspiring (Part 1)

At that time, only Joey Yung was praised by the emperor's three little girls. Jiali He had a good image and average ability. Peiwen Ye was far more powerful than Joey Yung. Her first EP "In Your Arms" and the title song "Give Me Space" ranked third in the IFPI chart for 5 weeks.

The iron triangle between Ye Pei Wen, Guo Weiliang and Lin Bao had many hits in the top ten.

Then switched to Xinyibao.

Eason Chan left Emperor in 2004, and Xinyibao gave him "U87"...

"The Sunset Is Infinitely Beautiful", "Aniu", "Exaggerated" and "When the Grapes Are Ripe", four songs, established the title of successor to the song god in one fell swoop.

To bring things back, Emperor's stock price plummeted after the big photography exhibition, and its current market value is less than one billion Hong Kong dollars.

There is no money, otherwise, it would be impossible not to participate in "The King of Kung Fu"!

The two movies jointly produced by Golden Harvest and Jackie Chan are "Dragon Detective" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"...

The first film The Emperor invested 50% with Jackie Chan and 50% with Golden Harvest. The cost was HK$35 million, which was basically paid for by Golden Harvest. Jackie Chan’s salary was zero...

50% of subsequent profits will be collected!

Jackie Chan's price is this. If you're unhappy, you don't have to go to him...

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", Jackie Chan received remuneration: 50 million + 20% of overseas income...

Because many coal bosses liked this play, a budget of 150 million was achieved.

Overseas earnings must be given to others. If "Taking Tiger Mountain" is sold overseas, it all depends on Jackie Chan!

What's happening with Yang Shoucheng here?

Oh, Jackie Chan's current film company is called Jackie Chan Emperor Film Company, a joint venture between Jackie Chan and Yang Shoucheng. In recent years, Jackie Chan and Emperor have been the producers or co-producers behind the scenes of all the films that Jackie Chan has participated in!

"New Police Story" started, "Myth", "Baby Project" and later "Shinjuku Incident"...

Jackie Chan trusts Yang Shoucheng very much - even his sons signed for him!

Moreover, Yang Shoucheng's autobiography "Qi Qi" wrote about Jackie Chan and Wu Qili, and based on this incident he came to the conclusion: "There is no man in the world who is not greedy for money and lust, and there is no woman who is not greedy for vanity."

Ahem...

As for Jiang Zhiqiang, he was just accompanying the guests. He came here specifically to meet with Shen Xudong to see if there was any possibility of cooperation...

After all, the current trend of Chinese-language films is the mainland market, and Shen Xudong happens to be the flag-bearer of mainland films.

…

"Last year, the total box office in the Mainland was close to 4 billion, with foreign language films accounting for 1.8 billion. The total box office of Chinese films that Xudong participated in was close to 1.3 billion. It can be said that one company is the only one!"

"There is no one company that is the only one. All of his blockbuster movies have been co-produced with China Film!"

"So, he has great wisdom and knows how to choose and take advantage of situations..."

Hotel, open-air restaurant, although it is open-air, it is very quiet...

On the top floor!

Yang Shoucheng discussed with Jiang Zhiqiang Shen Xudong.

"What I admire most is his vision and execution ability. He saw the theme of the Three Kingdoms and did it directly. And...as soon as Andy Lau withdrew, he immediately replaced him..."

"How is the overseas performance of "Zhao Zilong 2"?"

"I heard that the copyrights have been sold to 55 countries and regions, and the box office in Southeast Asia has reached 11 million US dollars..."

"Did you make a lot of money this time?"

"The news I received is that the profit is not higher than the first one, but Nie Yuan's appearance has been recognized. I heard that four projects, "Dingjun Mountain", "Guan Yunchang", "Zhang Yide" and "Zhao Zilong 3" have been filed. !”

"...You mean, he has been doing so many projects from the beginning?"

"Well, that's definitely the case!"

Jiang Zhiqiang looked at him and then said: "Then...do you want to entertain me seriously?"

Yang Shoucheng chuckled: "I ordered someone, they will be there soon..."

The Emperor, no, it's the Hong Kong entertainment industry. How can we talk about things without wine? If we have wine, how can we not arrange for a wine company?

This is their culture!

Jiang Zhiqiang hesitated: "Have you figured out his preferences? Don't make things worse!"

Well, Jiang Zhiqiang is the person who is worried about Yang Shoucheng's arrangement for appearing in the photography exhibition. What if Shen Xudong has also seen the photography exhibition and he doesn't like it?

Yang Shoucheng waved his hand: "Don't worry, what I found this time is top quality!"

…

Shen Xudong came alone, and it was not a dragon's den or a tiger's den. Boss Yang mentioned a private meeting...

That means it's not a formal occasion, and there's no need to gather everyone.

First, he confirmed the projects for the next three years with Chung Lifang, and then chatted for a while about the Hong Kong box office performance of "Zhao Zilong 2". After checking the time, Shen Xudong went downstairs and took a taxi to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The Peninsula Hotel, opened in 1928, was once a symbol of Hong Kong’s high-end style.

Unfortunately, there are countless high-end hotels in Hong Kong today. The Carlton Hotel, Hilton Hotel, and Hyatt Hotel are all no worse than the Peninsula Hotel!

But it is strange that the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers like to entertain guests at the Peninsula Hotel.

Maybe this is their reminiscence of the lost time...

I confirmed the location with the staff and then got on the elevator...

There is no such thing as Hong Kong people not being able to understand Mandarin, which is a pity...

When we arrived at the outdoor restaurant, two men were already sitting there.

One of them is Yang Shoucheng, and the other... Jiang Zhiqiang!

"Uncle Yang...Boss Jiang!"

Shen Xudong was the first to say hello...

The two of them also stood up and shook hands. Yang Shoucheng seemed a little surprised that Shen Xudong came so early: "So soon?"

"...I'm used to staying in BJ, so I always set off an hour earlier. I'm worried about traffic jams!"

Shen Xudong explained and then sat down.

"Drink something first...you don't drink alcohol, coffee or tea?"

"Tea!"

"black tea?"

"Can!"

After Shen Xudong sat down, he looked around.

The location of this terrace is very good. If you look over it, you will see Victoria Harbour. There are many landmark buildings along the coast. It is the best place in Hong Kong.

Noticing Shen Xudong's eyes, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced: "This is the best place in Hong Kong to see the sea view..."

"Is it as good as Lantau Island?"

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't know why and asked with a smile: "... Xudong is interested in Feng Shui?"

Yang Shoucheng was delighted: "He was talking about "Infernal Affairs 3"... When we first met, he asked me if the best place for Feng Shui in Hong Kong was on Lantau Island... I asked him how he knew, and he said he had watched "Infernal Affairs 3" "knew!"

"Haha... Speaking of Hong Kong's Feng Shui, the Western District of Hong Kong is a "water inlet", which is where wealth comes in. The Tianmen should be wide open and the households should be tightly closed. The Tianmen is the Western District area, and the landlord is Lei Yue Mun..."

Just as Shen Xudong was about to speak, Jiang Zhiqiang said: "But the Heart Sutra Jianlin on Lantau Island is indeed a geomantic treasure..."

"Stop talking about this, come and drink tea..."

The staff brought a pot of tea and poured it on. The one in ascending order picked up the cup and took a sip...

not bad!

"Uncle Yang..."

Shen Xudong was about to speak when a girl's voice came from behind him: "I'm not too late..."
