That year Huayu

Since a long time ago, people in Hong Kong have always ridiculed mainlanders for their lack of quality and a condescending attitude.

Until now, most of them have not gotten rid of this problem, or they don't bother to change it.

It's just that they didn't say it openly, but behind the scenes, but it was reported from time to time.

However, in the past two days, the entire Hong Kong film industry has been shamed into Hollywood.

The filming of "Transformers 4" started at the beginning of the year and has not been completed yet.

In the past two days, great director Michael Bay took the crew of "Transformers 4" to Hong Kong Island for filming.

It stands to reason that when foreign films go to Hong Kong Island for filming, the Hong Kong Island Film Union is responsible for the reception and assistance throughout the process. However, something happened.

The world-famous science fiction director was bullied several times by a group of "Young and Dangerous" people on Hong Kong Island.

On the first day of filming, the crew was provoked and made trouble by a group of gangsters who seemed to be on drugs.

In Michael Bay's words in an interview with the media, those people were like the zombies in "World War Z" and they even bite people.

It got even more cruel later. When the crew was filming, they were directly charged "protection fees", and they were asked to pay 100,000 US dollars for opening their mouths.

Thinking that he had already paid the local people to requisition the location, Michael Bay decisively refused to pay the "protection fee".

The great director never expected that "Young and Dangerous" would be so unreasonable.

A group of people from the other side directly attacked the crew with "weapons" after half an hour, performing a full-on martial arts show.

A world-famous director was almost beaten by a group of people.

Under the protection of security personnel, the crew members managed to hold on until the police arrived.

Fifteen police officers, at the cost of three injuries, finally subdued a group of "Young and Dangerous" by using violence.

It was impossible to hide this news. It had already spread throughout Hollywood, Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

Li Bingbing also posted on Weibo, saying nothing else but that he was well protected and not injured.

The Internet is very lively, with all kinds of ridicule and sarcasm.

"You still say we have no quality? They are so qualified that they are extorting money on the street?"

"The blackmail failed, so you robbed instead? Is this how you treat your international friends?"

"It's been exposed this time! It's been shamed internationally, which shows how hypocritical the people over there are."

Faced with accusations from the Hollywood media and ridicule on the Internet, the Hong Kong community was caught off guard.

A large number of top celebrities and entertainers jumped out to apologize, condemn public security, and protect their image. It was a complete mess for a while.

…………

The box office on the first day was 21.6 million, and the next day was 25.2 million. At the end of the first three days of the weekend, the total box office of "Special Identity" was 68.6 million.

Compared with "One Man's Martial Arts", this box office performance is far different.

I don’t know if Lu Zheng spent money, but many “professionals” published articles.

These people are all preaching, saying that if "Special Identity" attracts money at this rate and exceeds 300 million box office, there is absolutely no problem and it is worth watching.

But they didn't mention it at all. The movie's reputation was already avalanche, and it was relying on its bad reputation to barely stimulate the box office.

Just like the original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", the more people criticize it, the better it will be at the box office, a typical bad movie effect.

But "Special Identity" still has some differences. It is not as bad and distinctive as "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Of course, in terms of box office, it certainly cannot be compared with the latter.

Everyone in the industry thought that after the release of "The Legend of White Snake", Yang Zai's Juli Pictures was completely finished.

After all, not only did he offend Li Lianjie, but Huang Shengyi, the company's pillar, was also "crippled" by Guangguang.

A "heaven and earth" joke can destroy a first-line actress. Looking at the entertainment industry, it is really rare.

But who would have thought that after a few years of respite, Yang Zai and Ju Li would pop up again.

Yang Zai personally stood up to promote the actress newly signed by Juli Pictures. She has quite a few titles: Nortel School Beauty, Xiao Huang Shengyi!

It really makes people in the industry laugh to death. Others in the "little" generation always find a relatively popular actress to gain popularity, such as "Little Liu Yifei", "Little Yang Mi", "Little Zhang Ziyi"...

Yang Zai is such a smart guy. After signing a new artist, he insists on trying to get married to the outdated third-tier star Huang Shengyi. His feelings are because he doesn’t like the newcomer quickly enough, right?

Still a Nortel school beauty? You said she was a "school beauty" somewhere, but you said she was from Nortel?

Which actress in the film school dares to give herself the title of Marketing?

Just for this title, this new artist from Juli Pictures has no future and has offended a lot of people!

…………

After Yue Jun attended Ali's dinner yesterday, he couldn't wait to come over to talk to Lin Nan about this this morning.

"That Chairman Ma asked me to bring you a message..."

"Huh? Why do these words sound so familiar to you?"

Lin Nan frowned and couldn't remember it, but he was sure he had heard similar words somewhere.

"Forget it, go on."

"I guessed it right. Alibaba did use the stocks of that listed company to win over insiders. I heard that the name will be changed after the handover is completed."

Having said this, Yue Jun paused:

"They seemed to be very sure that they would make money for everyone. Some insiders gathered around Director Ma, among whom Zhao Yanzi was the most conspicuous, talking and laughing.

Director Ma asked me to give you a message: If Director Lin is interested, he can buy some shares of Cultural China. Now is the time. When the handover is completed and the market reopens, the stock price will rise sharply, and one of his own people can follow..."

Lin Nan swallowed, shook his head firmly, and said with a smile: "I am destined not to make this money. By the way, are there many people going?"

“A lot of people went, including well-known film and television companies in the industry, but most of them were a little resistant to Alibaba.

After all, everyone has their own circle of interests, and they know that there is no such thing as pie in the sky. But you also know that it is impossible for everyone to resist, they are too rich..."

Lin Nan nodded, "too rich" can really solve many problems.

Lin Nan didn't react until Yue Jun left the office for a while.

"Good guy, I remembered-the Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"

…………

When she got home in the afternoon, Liu Yifei bare her white feet, kicked her flip-flops, and handed an invitation to Lin Nan.

"Well, people from Zhu Yawen's studio personally delivered it to Hongxingwu, and I just got it."

"This guy, I've been in the company for a day, why didn't I see anyone send him to Lin Nan Pictures?"

While complaining, Lin Nan opened the invitation, and then he knew why he didn't receive it.

Zhu Yawen invited two people with one invitation and sent it to Hongxingwu. How considerate is it? !

However, why does this behavior resemble that of Tom?

"The wedding is going to be held on the 10th of next month? It's good. We have the wedding in the capital. I don't want to go to the Maldives, Bali, Phuket, etc., and I don't have to worry about everyone."

Lin Nan nodded and said, mainly because this time does not conflict with his subsequent schedule, which is very good.

"I guess all the classmates will go by then, right? Many of them haven't seen each other since graduation, even though they are all in this industry."

Liu Yifei suddenly sighed, and several figures appeared in Lin Nan's mind, and then shook her head gently.

…………

Although they did not go to the Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner this year, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still sat in the living room in the evening and watched the live broadcast.

After all, Ms. Liu has been going there for five consecutive years, but she suddenly didn’t go this year. She is still a little uncomfortable with it.

Among the giants of film and television companies, only Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong were gone, and they had no need for others.

The same is true for top stars. Just Jackie Chan, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, and Zhang Ziyi, but not a single big director!

This year's dinner was indeed a bit shabby.

Among all the celebrities, the most eye-catching one is the Peacock Princess brought by Yu Dong. This is completely disclosed to the circle, and the girl has succeeded!

Many actors and entertainers took the initiative to flatter and chat with them, with unstoppable smiles on their faces.

When the auction officially started, the peacock princess, who was eligible to be invited for the first time, really looked like a "peacock", but with her tail open.

She quoted prices frequently, as if she was using this method to declare that her current status was no longer what it used to be!

"The ones who spend the big money are basically Jackie Chan and the others. But with so many guests this year, I think the total amount raised should increase."

Lin Nan guessed, but he was not 100% sure.

…………

The next day, there was suddenly more news about "Taiping Wheel" in the media.

It seems that something happened to the crew and it got stuck. It was just like the original filming of "Red Cliff", which was so troubled. Maybe God doesn't want Wu Yusen to continue filming, right?

In this way, Huang Xiaoming was allowed to leave the crew to shoot another TV series.

During the interview, Leader Huang showed some excitement.

He chatted with reporters about the movie "The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiuyuan" and it was obvious that he liked the script very much.

“I play a domineering chamber of commerce president and gang leader.

Although he comes across as cold, wise, and ruthless, he is actually a warm man at heart, which can be called a perfect character. But when it comes to the girl I like, I run into trouble countless times..."

When Lin Nan saw the news at the company, he was stunned.

"What a great guy! I just called you over to film a movie called "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom", and now you turn around and take on a movie about The Boss?"

Isn't Huang Xiaoming's description of the character that of a domineering president?

Everything about the protagonist is perfect, the only flaw is that there is a girl he likes but doesn't like him. In the end, we had to go through many hardships before we could come together!

This is standard and can no longer be standard, domineering president!

"Speaking of which, is this kind of TV series really so enjoyable?" Lin Nan was puzzled by this.

When Huang Xiaoming went to act in "Summer of Bubbles", he had the same attitude as he does now when talking about "The Gorgeous Adventure of Jinxiuyuan".

There was an expression of excitement and anticipation on her face, without any concealment, just like a pervert who saw a beautiful woman.
