Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 94 The Tumultuous End of the Century in the Film Industry

Gong Li filmed "In the Mood for Love" in Hong Kong.

However, after arriving here, she deliberately kept her distance from Tang Jinshan.

Both of them are currently in the spotlight.

Tang Jinshan was still thinking about when he could go to Feie Mountain with her again, but he had no choice but to give up.

Subsequently, filming began for "The Legendary Twins".

The male leads are still Lin Zhiying and Su Youpeng, and Tang Jinshan didn't interfere.

As for the female leads, Sun Li plays Tie Xinlan, Li Xiaozai plays Xiao Lajiao, Lin Xilei plays Murong Jiu, and Lan Jieying plays Yaoyue.

Niki Chow played Hua Yuen-nu, the mother of Xiao Yu-er and Hua Wu-que.

She and Chan Man-chi both passed the entrance exams for TVB and ATV.

The fact that the two of them were able to choose this path shows that they do have some talent.

However, Chan Man-chi went to ATV to avoid competition.

Privately, the two girls are very close and always together.

They knew very well what attracted Tang Jinshan.

4 month 22 number.

Another piece of good news has arrived.

The Cannes Film Festival has announced its nominees.

Two films invested in by Tang Jinshan, "Pretty Mom" ​​and "Postmen in the Mountains," were both shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.

This time, the media took notice.

No one expected that Tang Jinshan would lose tens of millions of dollars in four consecutive blunders in Hong Kong.

But suddenly it blossomed in two places on the mainland.

Many people only recently learned that he had actually invested in so many films in private.

I've never heard of any of those mountains or people.

Two films by Tang Jinshan have been selected for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival!

Is it that Tang Jinshan has poor judgment, or is it that Hong Kong cinema is declining?

"It is rumored that the special effects for 'Chinese Hero' are being completed at a rapid pace, and the film may be released to audiences in June."

How will "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" recoup its $1500 million investment? Will it rely on film festivals?

"Tang Jinshan also invested in Jiang Wen's 'Devils on the Doorstep,' starring Rosamund Kwan."

"To Kei-Fung's new film is still funded by Tang Jinshan and stars Andy Lau."

"Can Du Qifeng really make money? Why does he consistently receive Tang's favor?"

Discussions about Tang Jinshan suddenly became widespread.

There are also many reports about Gong Li.

Because Chen's poem "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" has also been shortlisted for the main competition at Cannes.

As a result, Gong Li had two works nominated at once!

She remains a lucky charm at the three major film festivals, bringing prosperity to whichever film she stars in.

Of course, that is also a reflection of her own strength.

Meanwhile, another piece of news has also surfaced.

This also plunged Gong Li into another controversy.

On April 20, Zhang Yimou publicly announced that he was withdrawing his two films, "Not One Less" and "My Father and Mother," from the competition.

Rumors suggest that Cannes Film Festival president Gilles Jacobs intends to award the Palme d'Or to "Not One Less".

The condition is that Zhang Yimou deletes the flag-raising scene from "Not One Less".

However, Zhang Yimou was very tough and withdrew both of his works from the competition!

Tang Jinshan also knew that Zhang Yimou immediately took "Not One Less" to the Venice Film Festival in September.

Then, following "The Story of Qiu Ju", it won the Golden Lion Award for the second time.

"My Father and Mother" will participate in next year's Berlin Film Festival and win the Jury Prize.

At the same time, it achieved a grand slam of the three major European "jury awards".

I've come in second place three times. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Unfortunately, the others don't know yet.

The controversy surrounding the Cannes Film Festival has already caused a great stir in China.

If Zhang Yimou wins the Palme d'Or this time, he will have achieved a grand slam of the three best European films!

He became the fourth director to receive this honor.

However, he actually withdrew from the competition!

There was also discussion.

If Zhang Yimou hadn't withdrawn from the competition, would there have been five Chinese-language films nominated for the main competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival?

Whether they give it to us or not, they at least have the capability!

In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.

Many people seem to see hope for Chinese-language films to go global!

As we approach the new century, Tang Jinshan, a wealthy and powerful patron, has been spending money everywhere and bringing two films to the Cannes Film Festival.

Later, Zhang Yimou withdrew from the competition with two films.

It's as if there's some kind of destiny at play.

At this moment, national self-confidence is at its peak.

The film and television industry is filled with joy.

Even the Hong Kong film industry is turning northwards.

When did the mainland become so powerful?

All five films are from mainland China!

Coupled with a booming economy, last year when international financial giants targeted Hong Kong, the government actually put up a strong fight.

They understand this deeply.

Is the Eastern dragon truly about to rise again?

Upon seeing this series of news, Han Shanping, who was in charge of establishing China Film Group, was instantly filled with renewed confidence and enthusiasm.

Just then, Li An, who had gone to Xinjiang to film, returned.

After filming some additional scenes in Beijing, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can be completed.

So Han Shanping gathered a large group of people and warmly welcomed the group of weary travelers.

With the addition of Li An's top-notch team, the strength of domestic films has increased even further.

A group of people gathered in the capital, eating and drinking to their hearts' content.

Fan Bingbing and her mother were also in the crowd.

She ate with abandon, completely disregarding her image.

They filmed in Beijing for half a month before heading to Xinjiang for another month of filming.

They've eaten their fill of sand over there, and there's still no entertainment.

Every day, we have to film various action scenes and horseback riding scenes.

I was bleeding and sweating profusely, and I was exhausted.

There are even intimate scenes.

Of course, she definitely used a body double.

Tang Jinshan is a film investor, so she has this privilege.

Li An would not force her.

Actually, Li An planned to film for about twenty days, but because of her, the pace slowed down considerably.

In addition to shooting extra footage as a backup to avoid having to travel back and forth, the shooting took a full month.

However, she learned a lot from working with Li An on this film.

She underwent a complete transformation.

After filming a few more scenes in Beijing, the shoot was officially wrapped.

Then I can go to Hong Kong to find Tang Jinshan!

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and had imagined it countless times in her mind.

Ever since she tasted the forbidden fruit in early spring, her heart has been with Tang Jinshan.

The next day, she woke up to a phone call from Tang Jinshan.

They all doubted they were still dreaming.

"Bingbing, is filming finished?"

"Just got back to Beijing from filming and need some rest! Bro, you found out so quickly? Did you call me because you needed something? Did you miss me?"

Fan Shuibing spoke in rapid succession.

"Then you should make time to visit Hong Kong."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

"Go to Hong Kong? The director said we need to shoot some more scenes!"

Fan Bingbing certainly wanted to go too, and couldn't wait to go right now!

"We'll talk about yours later, you come here first."

"What's wrong? Is it urgent?"

"The Hong Kong Film Awards invited me to be a presenter. Would you like to be my date and come over for some fun?"

Tang Jinshan said.

The Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony this year was held on April 24.

He was invited to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards.

He also served as a presenter, awarding the Best Director Award.

After all, as a rising star in the film industry, he had abundant funds and had invested in and produced many films in Hong Kong.

How could such a grand event be complete without him?

In addition, Man Kwan is the vice president of the Screenwriters Guild and an executive member of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Having just invested in their "Chinese Hero," I naturally want to please him and try to get him to invest again.

Tang Jinshan gladly accepted the invitation, thinking it would be nice to join in the fun.

I even made a special phone call to Fan Bingshui today.

"Okay, okay!"

Fan Shuibing immediately cheered with joy.

The Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony is such a lively event!

Moreover, Tang Jinshan didn't date anyone else, but specifically chose her as his female companion!

This pampering is unique!

She couldn't wait.

"When you arrive, there'll be a surprise for you."

Tang Jinshan added.

P.S.: Please vote for me!
