On April 23, at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, when Zheng Yijian arrived late and apologized to others in F4 as usual, Li Mingdu complained speechlessly, "Ajian, have you really switched to driving a Toyota Mazda?"

"There are always traffic jams, which makes us not want to play with you anymore."

Zheng Yijian laughed and walked to the dining table to take a sip of tea. "This time it's really not a traffic jam or playing video games. It's just the crew finishing their work."

"A big project like The Twilight Saga 2 must be shot well and with great care."

After Wang Jing returned to Hong Kong after filming "Heroes of China" in early April, the big movie was handed over to the special effects base to slowly work on. In the blink of an eye, Wang Jing started filming "The Twilight Saga 2" again, with A Jian as the starring role. He was so busy

It's been a busy 20 days, and it's quite hard.

After saying that, Zheng Yijian raised his glass to celebrate Li Ming, "Brother Ming, you are really popular, fuck, in just three days from the 20th to the 21st and the 22nd, the Mainland, Hong Kong, Haowan, and South Korea, (The Love of the Sword) came out 1.15

The box office is HK$100 million, which is incredible!”

"Even if such a big movie may not be very popular in Europe and the United States, once it is released in island countries, Stars, Malaysia, and Thailand, and only in East and Southeast Asia, it will be far ahead of the rest of us."

At this point, Aaron Kwok also raised his glass and said with an envious look on his face, "Brother Ming, you and A Jian have both come out and are no longer limited to F4 or ordinary idol dramas. Only Brother Jie and I are still resting on our laurels."

F4, which debuted together, has developed to the present. It is Cheng Yi Jian and Li Ming who are the first to stand out in major movie projects. Twilight and Gu Jian have brought the popularity of these two handsome men to a new level again.

Li Ming smiled, grinning from ear to ear. He wanted to be humble, but he also knew that being too modest was pretending, so he could only comfort him and said, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon, Cheng and Jie.

We also interviewed for Jian Qingshen together, and there were many competitors, so I was just lucky..."

After saying this, Zheng Yi Jian also changed his words to wish the two beautiful boy team members. Cheng was a little better, but Guan Lijie complained, "Forget it, Cheng, you are much better. When you went to Europe and the United States to hold concerts to promote Shaolin Football,

Whether you're singing Go Go Go or Brother Rong Hua's other famous English songs, when have you not been the little prince of the stage?"

"It's just the singing and dancing business, you can get rid of me and A Jian a lot."

"Right now, I don't know how to develop. Originally, I planned to commit suicide to do something about my relationship to boost the sales of luxury goods in (Oriental) or (Five Thousand Years), but after thinking about it, I still feel it's not appropriate."

"Do you think we should spend our own money, open a studio, make a good script and invite a big director to shoot it?"

Last year (Shaolin Soccer) and (Twilight Zone) were released, and Zhang Guorong and Andy Lau were one of the main promotion forces. F4 did not have many famous works of their own, but they did a lot of work by singing covers and helping to promote them.

.

In terms of singing and dancing skills at the concert, Aaron Kwok outclasses him and Zheng Yi Jian.

Ajie wanted to follow Yuan Biao's example and reveal gossip about his relationship or marriage. Maybe he would show his favor to the big boss and have a new project, but after thinking about it, it was not appropriate.

When Yuan Biao blew himself up to promote "5000 Years" and "The East", no one outside knew that director Zhao would immediately arrange a new project for Yuan Biao, or a big movie project. Now you imitate it? Then you will be inferior.

It seemed that he was deliberately waiting to ask Director Zhao for the script.

As for love? Ajie really does have one. In the original track, he met a stewardess. After dating for a few years, they got married in 1990. They stayed together until the 2020s. They gave birth to two daughters, and one of her daughters ran for Miss Hong Kong.

Woolen cloth.

This is already 1988, and Ajie still meets the stewardess from the original trajectory.

Li Ming, Aaron Kwok and Zheng Yijian also knew about this matter. The three of them did not care about the self-explosion of their relationship. Cheng's eyes lit up, "Yes, we are not short of money now. We can collect tens of millions to open a studio."

, subsidiary company, it’s not difficult to hire a big director to make a good film. Brother Jie, what do you think?"

Guan Lijie explained with a smile, "I think since the (Five Thousand Years) series includes the Qin Shihuang men's wallet, other styles will be launched later."

"We can make a big movie about a historical celebrity, such as Xin Qiji??"

"After studying some history, I really feel that Xin Qiji is a god-like figure, like in (The Legend of the Sword). If he copied history and condensed the main experiences of his life into one movie, I feel that the box office will not be bad.

"

"As long as the movie is not too popular, it can also boost the sales of Five Thousand Years Men's Wallet, and the schedule and other arrangements can be easily handled."

"Wen Neng has been famous for his poems for thousands of years, and Wu Neng can ride horses to bring peace to the world. During the Southern Song Dynasty, this great master proposed large-scale cross-sea landing operations, like the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' campaign to defeat the Qing Dynasty, allowing the Southern Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Kingdom and regain their homeland.

.”

"Even if he ends up being tortured by the court and ends up depressed, he is still a great person!"

Li Ming, Zheng Yijian, and Aaron Kwok all looked at each other in confusion.

Guan Lijie was even more excited, "If we were to promote men's wallets, as long as a copy like (Five Thousand Years: Think of those days, when we were strong and strong, and we could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger) was printed, which man wouldn't be excited and excited?"

"Otherwise (Five Thousand Years: Who can ask: Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?), this is also a very exciting and iconic promotional copy."

"If we spend money to hire some of the mainland's great historians to write a script about Xin Qiji, and I act in it, I should be able to perform it well."

Kwan Li Kit is not only the oldest in F4, he is also the best in acting. It was nothing more than the last interview (The Legend of Swordsman). Several directors felt that his character creation was not as good as Li Ming's. In addition, he was too young to match the 18-year-old age standard.

It was so big that it was brushed off.

He filmed Meteor Garden in 1984 and the male lead in "Winter Sonata" in 1985. He also saved a lot of money over the years, with tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue from commercial advertising. In 1986, he started the daily yen foreign exchange battle, one or two

Four or five times that would be tens of millions in income.

Later, he would appear in other TV series or movie roles one after another, and he would also receive salary and red envelopes. In terms of saving money, Ajie would be able to finance a big movie by himself.

Li Ming and others still looked at each other in confusion and remained silent for a while. Li Ming smiled and said, "It sounds like there is something going on. After all, the result of (The Love of the Sword) lies here."

Aaron Kwok was delighted, "In this case, I have to research and find a suitable project to star in. I can't watch you all become famous solo..."

There has been a precedent for the novel (The Legend of Liu Xiu) to cooperate with the Han Tianxia series of shoes to become popular, there is an example (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms) to boost the Han Tianxia brand, and there is another example (The Legend of the Sword)??

This really gives people the impression that there are so many legendary stories in China for five thousand years. As long as they copy history, copy it more realistically and don't make random changes, and don't make random magic changes, all kinds of big film and television projects will become a mess.

Ah Cheng has little education and is not very knowledgeable. Especially the middle school textbooks in Hong Kong do not explain Chinese history in such a profound and clear way. At this moment, he is actually a little... not very familiar with what kind of boss Xin Qiji is.

After hearing what Guan Lijie said so passionately, he knew that Ajie would not lie to him and also wanted to start his own big project.

………………

On the evening of the 23rd, after a day of shooting and returning to the 32nd floor of Tsim Sha Tsui Financial Building, Zhao Donghuai sat behind his desk, briefly sorted out other work, and unexpectedly said, "Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing, and Ji Chunhua want to prepare for the filming (Chen Tang Zhizhi)

Chanyu)?"

"Ajie from F4 wants to film (Xin Qiji)?"

"Good guy, this is an ancient trend."

At this stage, Jiang Wen's large crew has been set up. Although the filming has not started yet, a group of screenwriters are already improving the script. Ji Chunhua proposed this project in the hope that after the filming is completed, it will be convenient for Wanjia Cinema to arrange the release schedule.

.

As for Guan Lijie's desire to film Xin Qiji, he just discussed it with several other people today and reported it directly here. Ajie still doesn't know who to look for as a director or which screenwriter to look for. That is, if he has money... how old can he be?

Tens of millions of cash flow can be squandered.

I hope Director Zhao will send someone to help him set up a team.

If he has money, he can set up a subsidiary or studio affiliated with Zhao Films like Xu Ke, Wang Jing, and Du Qifeng.

After being slightly surprised, Director Zhao said to Zhang Min, "Have someone call Ajie and ask him to ask Huang Jianxin, Cheng Xiaodong and others for advice. If the schedule is suitable, then pay for the director. Once you have a director, it will be much easier to prepare the crew."

Xin Qiji was indeed one of the most extraordinary men in China for thousands of years. In terms of literature, he was the "Dragon of Ci". In terms of martial arts, he was also a rare general. He could bring peace to the world with his pen and use his horse to rule the world with his martial arts.

He died in a depressed state after being tormented by a bunch of pig teammates and the leader and his faction who lived in a corner. He was still shouting "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" before he died, making him a tragic figure like Yue Wumu.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?

Looking back on Mr. Jiaxuan's life, it was more than just a man with a lot of trouble.

Guan Lijie wants to make such a historical blockbuster. It is really worth looking forward to. Anyway, the money is his. He can find someone to hire a crew. Even if his acting skills are not good enough now, he can still make it like Xu Ke did (Once Upon a Time: Top Gun). No big deal.

It took him more than a year to produce a big movie.

Zhang Min nodded and went to work. When she came back, he said excitedly, "Boss, (The Legend of the Sword) was released in North America and the box office for the first night time was more than one million US dollars. It seems that it can sell well?"

"A movie like this that is purely historical and costumed, all performed by us Chinese, even if the total box office can exceed 20 million US dollars, it is already very successful!"

"The box office of the island country on the first day was 80 million yen, which did not exceed 100 million. There is still hope that it can continue to reach 1 to 2 billion yen."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Yes, it can be sold for more than 20 million U.S. dollars in North America, and another 20 million U.S. dollars in Europe. Everything will be worth it."

Again, in the future, a big comedy movie like "The King of Kung Fu" can earn more than 50 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America... Do you think it was achieved through the appeal of Cheng Long and Jet Li?

The Legend of Swordsman doesn't have the star cast of The King of Kung Fu?

Yes, in terms of star appeal, Li Ming, Hong Xin and others are far inferior to Cheng Long and Jet Li in their peak years, but from the perspective of the quality of the film, Love is Much Better.

This movie does not have flashy action or death-defying comedy, but the big scenes are an epic feudal costume war drama. When it was announced, it was in line with the selling points of the Western Rome and the Eastern Han Dynasty, to promote that these were two different civilizations at the same time.

, the history of the emperor’s growth that complements each other.

Therefore, this blockbuster is still expected to hit the box office of 50 million U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States! It breaks 50 million U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States, which is also the record of Cheng Long Police Story 1.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and after Zhao Donghuai pressed a button connected to the serious secretariat, a serious secretary came in with a smile, "Boss, Mr. William from Goldman Sachs, and Mr. Chris are here."

Director Zhao's eyes lit up, "Amin, go pour the champagne."

After Zhang Min went to work, William quickly walked in, shook hands with Director Zhao politely, exchanged a few words, and explained, "Zhao, this is Chris, a very influential person in the Global Science Fiction Association. Can your film be nominated next year?"

, and winning the Hugo Award depends on whether Chris is willing to be friends with us."

Zhao Donghuai took a glass of champagne from Zhang Min who had just walked over and handed it over, "Chris, good evening. I know that the Hugo Awards has a Best Drama Presentation Award to recognize movies, TV or other forms of science fiction.

, the achievement of fantasy works.”

"It just so happens that my own new work is a science fiction movie that feels good. It tells the story of a group of people trapped in an eight-minute time loop, constantly searching for the truth, and how life is constantly looking for a way out."

"The movie hasn't been finished yet. I asked William to invite you over. I just want you to take a look at the entire script to see if it has any hope of competing for next year's Hugo Award."
To be continued...
