This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 1015: Master Xing wants to cooperate (asking for monthly tickets)
When Jiang Wen and his group came in, they also felt the strange atmosphere.

Then I was asked about my opinion on the "Master-killing Conference".

"Hahaha, the Master-Killing Conference... the host has already interviewed me," Jiang Wen asked Hao Yun who was coming over, "Didn't the host catch you and ask you all kinds of questions?"

"No, I run fast." Hao Yun smiled.

"You won the Best Actor award this time..." Jiang Wen felt a little regretful.

Some people suggested that he should not register "Let the Bullets Fly" for the Academy Awards.

After all, if the three leading actors of "Let the Bullets Fly" were all nominated for Best Actor, then Hao Yun might not even have a chance to be nominated.

However, Jiang Wen ignored it.

With so many people working on and behind the scenes of "Let the Bullets Fly", how could they decide to give up signing up so hastily?

And there is no need to worry that "Let the Bullets Fly" will take away Hao Yun's spot.

Even though "Let the Bullets Fly" has received so many nominations, the Academy Awards will not give it too many awards.

If the Academy Awards want to maintain its artistic independence and avoid being criticized by the public, it must be neither too left nor too right.

Giving it so many nominations is a tribute to excellent films.

“There’s not a lot of hope, but there’s not a lot of prize.”

Hao Yun was also very clear-headed. Even if he did not participate in "Let the Bullets Fly", he did not think he could beat Ren Dahua in "Time Thieves".

This was his insight after watching "Time Thieves" at the Berlin Film Festival.

Sigh, in life, most of the time things are not as we wish.

He thought that with the bleak Hong Kong film industry today, he could become a big hit with "A Simple Life".

I didn't expect that Ren Dahua, who has been a runner-up for so many years, would suddenly have such an outstanding performance. If Ren Dahua won the Best Actor award, Hao Yun would definitely be convinced.

After all, the core of "A Simple Life" is the character played by Cheng Pei-pei.

If Hao Yun had taken her to Venice instead of Berlin, a place with a better chance of winning awards, she might have won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Today, she is also the most popular candidate for Best Actress, and almost no one can shake her chances of winning the award.

If she doesn't win the Best Actress award, it would probably be even more unpopular than Ren Dahua not winning the Best Actor award.

Another nominee for Best Actor, Wang Xueqi from "October Besieged", is also a popular candidate. If Wang Xueqi can defeat Ren Dahua, it will at least show that the Hong Kong Film Awards is not so local protectionist.

"Don't take it too seriously, you're still young!" Jiang Wen patted Hao Yun's shoulder to comfort this disciple who had become obsessed with the movie emperor.

He didn't say anything.

Hao Yun is really too young, and any obsession is not a big problem.

His youth is his capital for trial and error.

Moreover, it is not "wrong" to want to win the Best Actor award. Jiang Wen is optimistic that Hao Yun will win the title before he turns 30.

As they were talking, there was a commotion at the entrance.

"It's Stephen Chow..." Jiang Wen was very surprised why Stephen Chow would show up. Last year, he had the movie "CJ7" competing in the competition, but he did not appear at the Academy Awards.

Today, Stephen Chow has nothing, but he comes to flatter the Academy Awards.

He doesn't have a very good relationship with the Academy Awards.

"He should be here to see me..." Hao Yun touched his nose and felt that he had gone a little too far.

He didn't even give face to Stephen Chow when he asked him to meet him.

But he had no choice. The red carpet was scheduled for 5:30, but he didn't land in Hong Kong until almost 4:30.

He doesn't even have time to live in the house he and An Xiaoxi bought in Hong Kong.

We have to fly back to the studio in Los Angeles early tomorrow morning to continue filming.

"What do I want to see you for?" Jiang Wen was curious.

He and Stephen Chow are often compared to see who is more awesome, but the two rarely communicate in private.

Because there's nothing to talk about.

They have achieved excellence in their respective fields.

There is no comparability across sectors.

The only Stephen Chow movie Jiang Wen had seen was "Kung Fu", and he thought the movie had some substance.

If there is anything they have in common, it is that they are all qualified to be the drama tyrants on the set.

When filming "Kung Fu" that year, Hong Jingbao left the set angrily after saying, "You can't just think of yourself as a human being and everyone else as dogs!" Stephen Chow had to ask Yuen Woo-ping to save the situation.

When Jiang Wen and Lu Yan were filming "Looking for the Gun", Lu Yan went to Wang Zhongjun to cry and complain that he was being bullied.

In order to provide a chatting environment for Hao Yun and Zhou Xingxing, Jiang Wen quickly went to chat with Wen Jun.

He has a good relationship with Wenjun.

Jiang Wen also has a very high status in the Hong Kong circle, and many film investments are attracted from the Hong Kong circle.

Hao Yun did not stand there and let Stephen Chow come to him.

No matter how awesome he is now, as a post-80s generation who grew up watching Stephen Chow's movies, his respect for him never diminishes because of his own awesomeness.

Unless Stephen Chow touches something he cannot tolerate.

"Master Xing!" Hao Yun found Zhou Xingxing who was surrounded by people and gave him a hug. "Excuse me, everyone. Can I borrow Master Xing to ask you something?"

Give Zhou Xingxing enough face.

The others laughed and watched the two movie moguls walk away.

Hao Yun, Zhou Xingxing and Jiang Wen are all sitting together and are among the top group of people tonight.

He and Zhou Xingxing sat together and talked.

Everyone else consciously stayed away so as not to disturb the conversation between the two film industry bigwigs.

In fact, there are quite a lot of people chatting in groups of three or four. It usually takes one or two hours from the beginning to the end of the red carpet.

"Congratulations on your movie getting so many nominations..." Stephen Chow felt that Hao Yun was particularly lucky.

The Hong Kong Film Awards have always been biased and have nothing to do with fairness.

But now is the time when Hong Kong filmmakers are heading north to the mainland to develop their careers, and they would definitely not offend someone like Hao Yun.

Don't offend Hao Yun even if you offend Jiang Wen.

Now even Zhou Xingxing has to ask Hao Yun for help.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhou Xingxing asked directly: "Can we work together to make a movie?"

His emotional intelligence is not very high, so it's good enough that he can greet me like this.

"Cooperation, like Xu Ke?" Hao Yun wanted to laugh.

But I felt it was impolite to laugh in front of him, so I had to hold it in. The funny thing here is that it is absolutely impossible for Stephen Chow to co-direct with others.

So, asking whether it is the same as Xu Ke is a joke.

As for why Xu Ke was able to co-direct, it was naturally because Xu Ke was filming a script written by Hao Yun, and Hao Yun was not domineering during the filming process.

Sure enough, Zhou Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "It's not a co-production, it's an investment..."

"Investment... that shouldn't be the case," Hao Yun looked at Zhou Xingxing's expression and said in confusion, "Although I know your "CJ7" didn't make much money, it shouldn't be the case that no one would invest."

According to public data, the global box office of "CJ2.3" is million yuan.

Actually, it’s not too little.

Especially in Hong Kong, he earned 5144 million Hong Kong dollars. In this "last days" of the Hong Kong film industry, only he could create such a miracle.

However, it is certain that he will lose money, after all, he spent 20 million US dollars on this movie.

“There are investments, but the talks are not satisfactory, so I want to cooperate with Black Bean Media... Well, I have my eyes on the mainland market.”

Zhou Xingxing considered Han Sanping and Huaying, but Huaying no longer spends so much money on film investment.

Han Sanping reaped the benefits of the bet-backed issuance.

"Let the Bullets Fly" earned more than 10 million yuan at the box office, allowing Huaying to earn hundreds of millions of yuan from its % investment plus the bet on distribution.

It also made Huaying’s annual report look much better.

Next, he plans to bet on Black Bean Media’s new film “The Witch”.

Heidou Media does not have as high expectations for "The Witch" as it did for "Let the Bullets Fly". Han Sanping only needs to bet 4 million on the global box office.

Although this movie invited foreign actors, their pay was not very high and the special effects were not that complicated. In addition, the filming took place in China, so the total cost was only 8000 million.

As for whether he can win the bet - Han Sanping is not looking at the success or failure of one or two films, but the subsequent projects of Heidou Media that allow him to continue betting.

This old guy is like a gambler now.

He is not very interested in Zhou Xingxing's film investment projects, as Hong Kong directors have hurt him several times in a row.

As for mainland film companies such as Huayi, Bona and Guangxian.

Guangxian is playing too small, and now they only want to eat meat and drink soup with Hao Yun.

After Bernard had Xu Ke, he was not able to accept another Zhou Xingxing in the short term.

At most, it would be just a small investment like in "CJ7".

Zhou Xingxing never thought about Aunt Hua again from beginning to end.

Even his "Kung Fu" was a collaboration with Hua Yi and Columbia Pictures.

While filming Kung Fu, Stephen Chow not only had a falling out with Hong Jingbao, he also had a bad time with the producer and distributor. Auntie Hua and Columbia hated his overspending.

Now, Zhou Xingxing wants to change his partner.

As the most powerful and reputable film brand in the domestic entertainment industry, Heidou Media naturally became his target.

He also values ​​Heidou Media's influence in publicity and theaters.

"Frankly speaking, our own project is enough, but..." Hao Yun didn't say anything. I will think about it after I go back, or discuss it with others.

Heidou Media is actually his one-man show.

Zhou Xingxing looked at him quietly. When Hao Yun said that the project was worth filming, he couldn't help showing disappointment. Fortunately, Hao Yun said "but".

"But I have loved your movies since I was a kid, including "Justice, My Foot", "Shaolin Soccer", "Fight Back to School", "Flirting Scholar", etc. I have watched each of these movies at least five times. I watched "Kung Fu" less, but I also watched it three times..."

No one born in the 1980s who likes to watch movies would hate Stephen Chow.

At most, after the development of information in the Internet age, people know that Zhou Xingxing has low emotional intelligence and is stingy and loves money...

But in fact, Hao Yun didn't think it was that serious.

It’s just that Stephen Chow is too eye-catching, so any flaws will be magnified infinitely.

And there are also people with vested interests who take advantage of the situation.

His emotional intelligence may not be that high, but it is not abnormally low, otherwise he would not have reached this point today.

Moreover, he has no shortage of supporters.

Then he became obsessed with money.

Hao Yun felt that this was not a problem, as he himself loved money like his life. People in the world were all seeking profit, so who in this world didn't love money?

If you really don't like money, just donate it all.

In the early days, Hao Yun also paid actors very low salaries.

There are two sides to this question.

One is how much the actor himself is worth, and the other is how much the actor is worth in the eyes of the director.

I think you are worth 50,000 yuan. If you are not satisfied, I will find someone else.

Since you've accepted it, there will definitely be no problem.

The result of the two-way choice does not force you to perform.

In both Bullfight and Hello! Mr. Tree, Hao Yun paid Huang Bo and Wang Shunyu very little.

However, after Huang Bo and Wang Shunliu won the Best Actor awards for these two films, their pay and endorsements all skyrocketed, with annual incomes of tens of millions, ranking among the top in the entire entertainment industry.

Huang Danan participated in "The Martian" and Hao Yuncai gave him a salary of 150,000 US dollars.

It is far from Huang Danan’s own remuneration standard.

But Huang Danan was still grateful to Hao Yun. He felt very happy to be able to take him out to play.

Huang Danan is such a very insightful person.

Of course, in this regard, Hao Yun probably empathized with people who had the same identity as him. From his point of view, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Xingxing.

Whether there is a problem with Zhou Xingxing himself is not within the scope of his consideration today.

"Thank you!" Zhou Xingxing didn't expect it to be so smooth.

He didn't even say what movie he was going to make, or how much it would cost to make a new movie.

"For details, I will let Shi Xiaoqiang contact you to discuss..."

Hao Yun, who is currently filming "The Martian", no longer cares about how much money it costs to make the movie.

How much more can there be?

Moreover, this is Zhou Xingxing’s first time cooperating with Black Bean Media, so he certainly wouldn’t start by cheating people.

Even if he wants to cheat Black Bean Media regardless of the consequences, he still has to consider the expectations of mainland audiences.

As long as he hasn't really run out of ideas, he will try his best to make a good film.
