Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 203 You've Made a Profit

Another restaurant.

This play is inseparable from two scenes, one is the bathroom where Vincent often goes to defecate, and the other is the restaurant.

Vincent was assigned a job by the boss to accompany the boss's girlfriend Mia.

The boss' girlfriend took him to a restaurant, a slightly higher-end one with waiters dressed like Monroe.

Here, the host held a dancing competition.

Mia told Vincent, "I'm sure to get this trophy."

Then, the two of them went on stage.

Looking at Jennifer Connelly on the stage wearing a distinctive white shirt, Huang Ze could only say that it was good to have amazing talent.

Even though she actually lost six kilograms and her body shape has become thinner, the parts that shouldn't have been thinner were not lost at all. On the contrary, being thinner made her advantages more prominent.

This is more like the aesthetic taste of the boss.

Of course, it also fits my aesthetic.

Huang Ze nodded secretly, gestured to go through each department one by one, and pressed the play button.

A famous song sung by American pop singer Chuck Berry in the 1960s, "You Never Can Tell", rang out.

"action!"

John Travolta and Jennifer Connelly immediately started swing dancing face to face to the accompaniment of music.

After watching for half a minute, Huang Ze stopped the two of them with a "cut".

There is no other way, we have to stop it.

John Travolta, the former Broadway dancing king, was such a great dancer. His rhythm and movements were so good that he easily outdid Jennifer Connelly.

This will not produce any effect.

"Did I do something wrong?" John Travolta asked as he saw Huang Ze walking towards him.

"Can you please be more restrained when dancing?" Huang Ze gestured twice.

"I know your dancing ability."

"But you need to control your muscle instincts."

"Dance a little clumsily." Huang Ze immediately wanted to demonstrate, then he remembered that he had learned a little dance in order to shoot music videos.

Not clumsy enough.

You have to find someone clumsy to neutralize it.

His hand hung in the air for a few seconds, and finally he pointed at Quentin and hooked his palm, "Quentin, come over here and dance for him."

"OK!" When Quentin discussed "Pulp Fiction" with Huang Ze, he knew what effect Huang Ze wanted to achieve, so he didn't hesitate and just went up and danced.

Although the dance was quite awkward, this was the desired effect.

"You dance like this, clumsy, serious face, and a little hesitation in your eyes."

"Okay, come again!"

"Cut!" John was fine this time, but Jennifer Connelly had a problem again.

"Eye!"

"Your Mia is kind of trying to seduce Vincent right now, but it's not like an outright seduction, a tug-of-war, you know? The feeling of two steps forward, one step back."

"You have to keep a seductive look in your eyes."

"OK, come again!"

This dance is not that important in the film, but it is actually the most popular scene in the film. Huang Ze's pursuit of perfection syndrome came on, and he asked the two to dance again and again.

Huang Ze cut more than a dozen times for the first time while filming Pulp Fiction, and finally reached a satisfactory ending. After filming this segment, Huang Ze handed over the segment of Vincent looking for his old friend to buy medicine to Quentin, and returned to Hong Kong Island to finalize the acquisition of the shares held by Panderson D&B Cinemas, and then returned to the United States to take over the filming again.

……

Because boxer Butch saved the gangster boss Marsa, the latter gave up pursuing the matter of being deceived by him, but asked him to leave the city as soon as possible and not let him see Butch again.

Butch rode a Harley motorcycle that the Terminator rode, and drove away with Mariah Carey, who played Butch's girlfriend who had a small role, into the distance.

"Cut! It's done!"

"Tonight is the wrap-up party, everyone stay!"

Huang Ze shouted happily.

He was indeed happy.

I originally thought that most of the people were strangers, rather than my own team, so it would definitely take some time to get used to each other.

But the filming process went unexpectedly smoothly.

Each crew member is like an industrial screw, plug and play, so professional.

Because of the limited budget, I didn’t look for big brands, but rather blue-collar workers.

"Hollywood's film companies have trained a group of industrial parts!"

Huang Ze felt a hint of the so-called "film and television industrialization".

You don't need to know anyone, just show your money and you can recruit above-standard screws. Those screws are specialized in this job, practice makes perfect, and they are very proficient in the industry. Then a bunch of parts form a well-functioning crew machine and start filming.

"Ha ha……"

After sighing, Huang Ze shook his head slightly.

I’m afraid Hong Kong Island cannot be turned into this.

It is true that the Hong Kong film and television industry has been booming in recent years, but there are only so many films, the local market is not big enough, and the radiation range is only Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. Occasionally, some films can radiate to Japan and South Korea.

Such a large market, combined, is probably less than one-fifth of the North American film market.

After all, North America produces five or more films with box office revenues of over 100 million US dollars every year.

Hong Kong may not be able to produce five films in a year that gross over 20 million US dollars worldwide.

Not to mention the huge European market.

This is nothing compared to the head!
At the wrap party in the evening, not only the crew members and actors currently in the crew, but also many actors who had already finished their parts were called over.

Most of them are in Los Angeles, and they would not miss it when they heard there was a free banquet.

Even Liang Jiahui, who is currently filming "God of Gamblers", was called over by Huang Ze. There's nothing he can do about it; his own company's films are just so willful!
"Boss, you are too willful, aren't you?" Liang Jiahui held a red wine glass in one hand and complained to Huang Ze, "Just to attend a wrap party? How much did you pay for my airfare and hotel?"

"It's different!" Huang Ze waved his hand, "This is my first movie in Hollywood, and I have a feeling that this movie is likely to make us more successful in the film industry."

"Tonight is very memorable!"

How can it not have commemorative significance?
Huang Ze took a casual glance and could see three of the future members of the 20 million club: John Travolta, Bruce Wesley, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, and Jim Carrey.

Bruce Wesley will be able to reach the 99 million club in some of his films in the future. In , "The Sixth Sense" even earned million US dollars.

Among actresses, Jennifer Connelly and Uma Thurman will also be first-tier stars in the future.

What combination is this?
In another ten years, you won’t be able to gather these people together to make a movie. It’s not a matter of money. Just the status can take years to contend for and still not make any difference.

"Jiahui!"

You made money, kid!
Huang Ze patted Liang Jiahui's shoulder meaningfully, and called on the actors who had a lot of roles to gather together, "Let's take a group photo together, so that we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future!"

Huang Ze held Liang Jiahui with his left hand and John Travolta with his right hand. The others spread out to both sides with Huang Ze as the center, facing the camera.

"cheese!"
