Chapter 29 Hong Kong Island Premiere
The grandfather and grandson talked for a long time, until Aunt Wang came to order dinner.
Cheng Yuan stayed in the villa for one night. Before leaving at noon the next day, his grandfather mysteriously pulled him to the study and gave him a piece of paper:
"Good grandson, take it and don't let your brothers see it."
Cheng Yuan opened it and saw a check in US dollars.
She couldn't laugh or cry, the old people like to do this, Cheng Yu'an said: "I'm almost 21, and I still receive red envelopes?"
"Why, 21 is not my grandson anymore? You keep these 200,000, and you need money to make movies."
"But your number is wrong, there is an extra zero." Cheng Yu'an stretched out the check and showed it to the old man.
"Really?" The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, I really wrote an extra zero. Forget it, it doesn't matter if there are more zeros or less zeros."
Cheng Yu'an left Beverly Hills and returned to the hotel, where James Wan was waiting for him.
The two signed an investment agreement for "Saw": Cheng Yu'an registered an independent production company to invest US$1.5 million in "Saw" and paid James Wan and Leigh Whannell a total of US$150,000 in directing fees.
and actors' remuneration. The copyright of "Saw" is shared by Cheng and Wen.
Cheng Yuan's company is called "A Big Film Company", its English name is "Big Pictures".
After signing the contract, Cheng Yu'an ignored Wen Ziren and allowed him to do whatever he wanted, leaving only one producer in the company to follow Wen Ziren.
And he himself quietly flew back to his country.
"Sniper Phone Booth" will be released in Hong Kong soon, I must go back.
Besides, he has been away from the crew of "The Notebook" for less than half a month, and he must go back and watch, otherwise the director of this film will be Ning Hao instead of him.
As soon as he got on the plane, Cheng Yuan fell asleep.
I wanted to reach the station as soon as possible, but I woke up halfway through my sleep.
I lifted my blindfold and heard a voice with a drake voice:
"you're awake."
Turning around, Brother Xun was looking at him with his big eyes.
"Master Zhou!"
"you know me?"
"I'm a fan of your movie." Cheng Yu'an was very excited.
In two lifetimes, Cheng Yu'an has always liked Mr. Zhou very much. He likes her people and her plays.
It can be said that she is the first mainland Mesozoic actress after Gong Li.
Of course, Yuan Quan, who entered the Centennial Hall of Fame at the age of 30, cannot be counted.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Yu'an asked.
"I went to the United States for vacation after filming, and now I'm going back. Director Cheng, why are you going to the United States?"
"Do you know me?" Cheng Yu'an has only filmed one movie, which has not yet been released in the mainland, but Mr. Zhou actually knows him.
"I'm afraid no one in the Beijing film circle doesn't know you now. You became famous in Belgium at the age of 21, and your debut movie made you an international actor."
"Hey, it's all a false name, a false name."
"Director Cheng, has the next part of the play been decided?" Mr. Zhou took the initiative to talk.
"There are people in Dali who are watching. The company will make a few TV series first." Cheng Yu'an told the truth.
"If there is any good show, remember to think of sister."
"You are such a big shot and you still want to hire a small director like me." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.
The two of them talked and laughed all the way and quickly passed the time.
Cheng Yu'an and Mr. Zhou went their separate ways. No one knew that Cheng Yu'an was returning home today.
After leaving the airport, Cheng Yu'an went back home first - the house he originally shared with Dong Xuan had already been rented out.
After packing up, Cheng Yuan went back to the company.
Neither Cheng Lingfeng nor he was in the company during this period, so the company might be in chaos.
Xiao Cheng, who had not been seen for more than half a month, showed up at the company, but everyone was very calm. They just greeted him as usual when they saw him:
"Hello, Mr. Cheng."
"Mr. Cheng is back."
Cheng Yu'an is still a little depressed. I am the protagonist and my movie has just been a hit. Can you express your shock?
Fortunately, the company was still operating normally. Cheng Yuan looked at the company for a while and found that nothing happened, so he went out.
"The Notebook" has finished filming in Dali and has moved to Huairou Film and Television Base.
Not to mention that Ning Hao is a very talented person, and the crew has been in his hands for only half a month, and the crew is no worse than Cheng Yu'an.
Returning to the crew, Ning Hao stopped the filming on the set: "Come, let's congratulate Director Cheng on the success of his movie and his triumphant victory!"
The audience burst into sparse applause, and the laughter mixed in was even louder than the applause.
Cheng Yu'an knew that everyone was making fun of him, so he laughed and scolded: "Come on. Brother Hao, you finish filming this scene first. The crew will have a rest today, and then we will review the material for the past few days."
"Okay! Continue shooting!"
Ning Hao showed Cheng Yu'an the materials he had shot for half a month. Cheng Yu'an looked at them for a long time and was very satisfied with the results.
Just follow the storyboard and plan. Ning Hao is smart, what could go wrong?
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "I have to trouble you to shoot for a long time. I'm going to Hong Kong Island in the evening to attend the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth". I'll be back tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay." We have been filming for more than ten days, what does it matter if we take half a day more.
Liao Fan, Wang Zhiwen and others have already arrived at Hong Kong Island first. Cheng Lingfeng, Cheng Yu'an and Hou Keming set off today.
The news of "Phone Booth"'s overseas success has become known to everyone, and the Hong Kong premiere was unprecedentedly lively.
Mr. Liu Dehua is so happy!
The reason is the same as that of Yindu Institution. Yingyi Entertainment has a certain amount of investment and can participate in the profit sharing of "Sniper Phone Booth".
So for the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth" in Hong Kong, Andy Lau came to support it for the first time.
Xuanxuan was originally here to save the situation, but now she has become the heroine of a blockbuster movie. Regardless of whether she has a lot of roles or not, her name is in the subtitles of the starring role.
The other heroine is the boss of the investor, and Lingfeng has decided to retire behind the scenes and focus on managing the company. In this way, she will be the only heroine in the entire movie.
TVB took advantage of the popularity and asked Eric Tsang to take Xuan Xuan and a group of unknown male and female celebrities to attend the premiere.
The Music Emperor did not hesitate to give in. The artist director, Ms. Huo Wenxi, led the team and brought a group of people.
Because they had met in Brussels before, Zeng Zhiwei greeted Cheng Yu'an warmly: "I didn't expect that we met again just a few days after leaving Brussels. Don't leave at night, we must have a meal together."
Cheng Yu'an agreed with a smile, and Zeng Zhiwei introduced another person to him: "Director Cheng, let me introduce to you. This is our leading actor in Hong Kong, Nicholas Tse. Tingfeng, this is Director Cheng Yu'an Cheng."
"Hello." The two shook hands in a friendly manner.
Let’s not talk about the number of words on Wang’s resume.
Handsome?
Really handsome.
Nicholas Tse has always been a drag in people's eyes, but now he is very humble and greets people he knows politely.
There is no other way. If you want to make a comeback, you must build good relationships and find resources.
Last year's car accident nearly killed him. He released an album in August and then announced that he was leaving the entertainment industry to avoid the limelight.
Since this year, Yinhuang has been planning a comeback for him. In March, he released a photo album, and then he did charity work in various places to restore his image.
I came to the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth" today because I wanted to establish a good relationship with a young and promising blockbuster director like Cheng Yu'an.
As the main distributor of the film, Sound Emperor held the premiere at the Sound Emperor Theater in Central.
