Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 361, "Battle of Changsha," is about to air (44)

Tin Kai-man, nicknamed "Frog," is Stephen Chow's assistant...

The company responsible for promoting Stephen Chow's image is Star Overseas.

He's most famous for discussing how he handled his relationship with Stephen Chow, who, in theory, has been a friend for decades…

I once mentioned something:

If Mr. Zhou is asked to go to the film set, and he's in a bad mood, he'll start yelling and cursing, causing the entire film set to come to a standstill because of his bad mood…

So much so that many people, once on set, dared not guess his mood or dared not call him to come and start work.

But making so many people on the crew wait for one person isn't a solution...

It took Lao Tian so many years to figure out Zhou's temper. He knew Zhou was a filial son, so in the morning he could only call Zhou's mother first to ask her to pass on the message, then deliver breakfast to his door, drive him there seamlessly, and treat him like royalty when he went to the film set. He wouldn't find an excuse to lose his temper and yell at people...

This also reflects that Mr. Zhou is indeed difficult to get along with and arrogant.

However, it's understandable that "Kung Fu Hustle" didn't win Best Actor, since Leung Chiu-wai's "2046" is truly amazing. But not giving it the Best Director award is a bit unreasonable...

The Best Director award went to Derek Yee for "One Night in Mongkok"!

Derek Yee probably felt embarrassed too, and in the following years he filmed "Protégé" and "Shinjuku Incident" to prove his abilities...

The Best Actor award was given to Ah Fa's father-in-law!
Thank you everyone! I saw him go to a brothel with my own eyes!

No, I led that scene from beginning to end, and it was a masterpiece that everyone could see. How could you give the award to that kid!
You're not bad either, but it's superficial, and your expressions are a bit affected and exaggerated!
These are all prejudices people have against me. You wouldn't be so ignorant, would you?

Ahem...

Speaking of Tin Kai-man, the next one will definitely be Stephen Chow!

Brother Hu asked Joey Yung, "Is Stephen Chow really that fond of money?"

Joey Yung nodded: "He said he really loves money and has very low emotional intelligence..."

Then he told a story: "Huang Yifei said that it was the Iron Head Kung Fu in 'Shaolin Soccer'. He said that when Stephen Chow first entered the industry, he was still a newcomer, and anyone who was on good terms with him would affectionately call him 'Sing-jai'."

At that time, Stephen Chow and others called him "Brother Fei".

Later, when Stephen Chow became famous, he stopped calling him Brother Fei and didn't address him by his first name. Instead, he would say, "Um, that guy..."

After a pause, Joey Yung said, "He's already a tycoon. He's having a great time with several of Hong Kong's richest men, and he drinks Romanée-Conti, which costs tens of thousands of US dollars a bottle!"

This is true.

Stephen Chow and Joseph Lau have a very good relationship. When Chow started his second business, Star Overseas, Lau was the investor behind him. His first business was Star Overseas Film Company, which he originally planned to make a big splash in. However, he ended up bankrupting the company after only making two "A Chinese Odyssey" films.

My second entrepreneurial venture, and the first project I created was "The God of Cookery"...

In those two years, "Eat Drink Man Woman" sparked a trend for food-themed films—in addition to its impressive box office performance, "Eat Drink Man Woman" was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Oh, and there's also Tsui Hark's "The Golden Age," which grossed 3112 million yuan.

The God of Cookery was a huge success.

Oh, Joseph Lau is a very famous Hong Kong tycoon who has been involved with a lot of female celebrities. There are at least 28 women whose names have been reported, including Rosamund Kwan, Michelle Reis, Ada Choi, Fennie Yuen, and Catherine Hung…

According to Ng Man-tat, "I have no grudge against Stephen Chow; we're just at different levels. He used to be at the same level as us, but now that he's made more money, his friends have changed. He has his friends, but they're not ordinary people; they're super-rich, spending hundreds of thousands on a single bottle of wine!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan nodded: "You reminded me, I also need to buy some Moutai to keep in my liquor cabinet, both for its appreciation in value and to show off..."

Shi Shi couldn't help but interject: "Moutai?"

"Iron-capped Moutai, it costs tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, and it's bound to appreciate in value. My grandfather has a case of 86 Moutai, and someone offered him 20 yuan, but he didn't sell it!"

Rong Zuer: "Don't you collect wine?" "Why would I collect that stuff?" Shen Yan waved his hand, and casually said to Liu Shishi, "If you like to drink, you can buy a vineyard and make your own!"

"Um…"

……

The Shanghai International Film Festival is still ongoing…

There were no outrageous statements, and even Wang Xiaoshuai didn't say anything...

They don't have that crazy attitude they had back then—"You guys made over 100 million at the box office, you're losers!"
A group of people gathered to discuss the decline of Chinese-language films in the face of the massive influx of Hollywood blockbusters, and how Chinese-language films should save themselves and develop...

Well, Shen Yan wasn't invited, since the participants were mostly people like Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, and Lou Ye…

If he goes...

He couldn't participate either—the only box office hit for a Chinese-language film in the first half of the year was "Telephone," for which he was the investor, screenwriter, and producer!

Without Shen Yan, there's nothing particularly noteworthy.

So much so that there was no media coverage—the overall buzz wasn't even as big as the middle finger incident involving Yang Mi on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet a while back…

That thing has been trending on social media for several days!

Actually, it wasn't impolite at all...

The first time I walked the Cannes red carpet, I had no idea where I was—the Cannes red carpet is square, and there were media on all four sides. When I heard someone call my name, I would stop to take pictures for everyone.

Then, she happened to be photographed giving the middle finger, and as a result, she was ridiculed by the public for being impolite.

Actually, if you look closely, she was referring to the ground, not yelling at the staff at all...

It's no use, she has way too many haters!
In addition, the huge success of "Telephone" has made the haters quite frustrated. They finally released a picture, and regardless of whether it was a shouting match, giving the middle finger is just rude!
Shen Yan usually uses two fingers together...

In short, this year's Shanghai International Film Festival didn't garner much attention, and the main competition section received even less interest...

It's really been largely ignored. I'll just mention the biggest award, the Golden Goblet Award for Best Film, "The Bear," directed by Khrushchev Masoumi, an Iranian director.

Who knows him?
Moreover, the translation is also speechless. "Bear" sounds like an animal documentary at first glance, but it is actually a drama: it tells the story of a man who returns from the battlefield. Years ago, his wife mistakenly believed the rumor that he died in battle and remarried. However, the two still have deep feelings for each other and cannot go back to where they started. Two families and three people are intertwined in Iran, a society with double standards of law and religion, and their relationship will not end until death.

……

Filming for "My Love from the Star" has continued, and the story is nearing its end.

There is also a production schedule, according to the filming process.

It should be completed before July.

Do Min-joon is forced to demonstrate his superpowers in front of everyone—Jae-kyung has arranged a plan to assassinate Cheon Song-yi. He invites Cheon Song-yi to a wine restaurant in Do Min-joon's name and serves her a glass of wine laced with poison…

After filming this scene, Shen Yan took the water glass that Chen Xu handed him: "How is the situation?"

"They're still yelling, but not as fiercely as they were a couple of days ago!"

Oh, Shen Yan insulted Manfred Wong, and Hong Kong filmmakers collectively broke down, launching various attacks against Shen Yan. However, the latter didn't seem to care...

Just consider it a way to increase his popularity~
Chen Xu suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, 'Battle of Changsha' is about to air!"

When will it air?

"Next Wednesday..."
