Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 71, "The Legend of Shushan"!

"Mr. Tang, Robert Shea contacted me earlier to ask about you. What big project are you two working on?"

To Tang Jinshan's surprise, Cheng Long came to his door at this time.

"In other words, I asked his company to publish 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon'."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

Although Robert Shea announced that he had secured $1.5 million in investment, he did not disclose the identity of the investor.

Including Jackie Chan.

So now, almost no one outside the industry knows that he invested in Lord of the Rings.

"It shouldn't be difficult for director Li An's film to be distributed by New Line Cinema, right?"

Cheng Long was still puzzled.

This doesn't seem to have much to do with Robert Shea asking him if he had money.

"We have reached an agreement to screen 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' in at least 2,000 theaters."

"So many?"

Cheng Long was instantly shocked.

It's worth noting that Rush Hour is a Hollywood production, and it only opened in 2700 theaters.

"Director Li's name is still very useful. Brother Long, what brings you here today?"

Tang Jinshan did not take credit for the work.

"It's just something that happened recently. What are your thoughts on the association's attitude, Mr. Tang?"

This incident has caused Jackie Chan a lot of worry lately, even turning his hair white.

As the president of the Performing Artists Association, he has many responsibilities and needs to make statements.

Tsang Chi-wai is the vice president of the Performing Arts Association, and Tang Kwong-yung is also a big brother in the entertainment industry.

Chen Ziqiang was also his agent for many years.

Although Deng is the sixth brother according to the sworn brotherhood, who doesn't know that he is the real eldest brother?

However, now both Deng and Zeng have ruined their reputations.

The attitude of the Performing Artistes Guild is very important.

"Anyway, I went to see Lan Jieying and gave the reporter a good scolding. Now the newspapers are criticizing me a lot, which can be considered as diverting some attention from Lan Jieying."

"As for your Performing Artistes Guild's attitude, I don't know. But to be fair, given what happened to Yammie Lam, shouldn't your Performing Artistes Guild offer some concern, condolences, and financial support?"

Tang Jinshan added.

Cheng's head hurt even more.

This is also the choice he faces.

No matter which side he stands on, he is on the opposite side.

Tang Jinshan's attitude is already very clear.

In fact, he was well aware that it was impossible to stand against the people and the government.

He would never do such a thing.

Therefore, it is destined that you will only offend certain people.

I'm so unlucky to have become this lousy president!

Within two days, the Hong Kong Performing Artistes Guild expressed its deepest condolences for Lam Kit-ying's ordeal and offered financial assistance.

Although not much else was said, the attitude was already very clear.

This caused some people to break down again.

The attitude of the Performing Artistes Guild reflects both the official stance and the attitude of the entertainment industry.

Both of them became pariahs, both within the entertainment industry and among the general public.

Some people's antics are nothing more than clown antics.

Moreover, in recent days, the backgrounds of those surnamed Deng and Zeng have been thoroughly investigated.

Who doesn't know who they are?

One is a second-generation corrupt official, and the other is a second-generation greedy official; they really are a den of snakes and rats!

Tang Jinshan, feeling carefree and at ease, hid away for some peace and quiet.

There's no shortage of news about him outside.

In particular, he openly berated Deng Xiaoping and Zeng Qinghong, and also insulted reporters and smashed cameras.

However, he was not afraid of these minor setbacks at all, and even openly visited Lan Jieying in the hospital several times.

While we're at it, let's drive away those inhuman paparazzi.

In his spare time, he would hide away and entertain himself.

With Zhou Huimin, Li Jiaxin, Zhou Liqi, and Chen Minzhi already keeping him busy enough, he's already overwhelmed.

Cai Yinong, who is currently setting up Tangren, has also had many exchanges with him.

Yinghuang Entertainment also needs to communicate with Mani Fok.

I'm too busy to care about anything else.

And then there's Li Jiaxin. I don't know if it's because I owe her 7500 million, but she's always bothering me.

It's like they're afraid they won't pay back the money.

Since she brought this trouble upon herself, Tang Jinshan wouldn't indulge her.

"Mr. Tang, do you have any money left?"

Li Jiaxin stood up.

"What? Are you short of money?"

How could Tang Jinshan possibly repay her money now?

"I didn't ask you to pay me back, what are you so nervous about!"

Li Jiaxin said irritably.

"Xu Ke is preparing to shoot a movie recently, and he wants you to invest in it."

She is very familiar with Tsui Hark and they have collaborated on three works: A Chinese Ghost Story II, Swordsman II, and Monster City.

After filming "Once Upon a Time in China and America" ​​in 96, Tsui Hark went to Hollywood to develop his career.

As a result, both of his collaborations with Jean-Claude Van Damme on two films flopped.

Hollywood does not tolerate losers.

In November, Xu Ke had already returned from Hollywood.

After a series of failures, he has returned this time ready to undertake a major project.

With special effects becoming increasingly sophisticated, he wanted to remake the Legend of Shushan Swordsman, which had flopped years ago.

They just couldn't find the funds, so they thought of Tang Jinshan, this suddenly appearing tycoon.

Her relationship with Tang Jinshan is well-known.

So Xu Ke asked her to help him make connections.

This wasn't the first time Li Jiaxin had done something like this.

This time, she's determined to be the female lead!

Otherwise, kill Tang Jinshan!

"Xu Ke? What does he want to film?"

Tang Jinshan's heart skipped a beat.

This person is also someone who is very good at losing money.

At this point in time, "he wanted to remake The Legend of Shushan Swordsmen".

Li Jiaxin said.

"I've seen that movie. Brigitte Lin's flying apsara look was so beautiful. A fantasy film with special effects is sure to be a great watch. I've invested in this project."

Tang Jinshan said without hesitation.

The Legend of Shushan!

A movie that lost a fortune.

He's determined to invest this time.

He'll fight anyone who tries to take it from him!

"This time, I'm going to be the female lead!"

Li Jiaxin said fiercely.

Last time, she didn't get to film Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," and if she doesn't get a role in Tsui Hark's film this time, she'll bite Tang Jinshan and Li Jiaxin to the bone. Tang Jinshan is in danger but remains oblivious: "You don't even know who the female lead is before you're going to act, and besides, I've already said you can't use your beauty advantage in period dramas—"

"Give me my money back!"

"Okay, I'll pay you some interest first."

"Director Xu, this is our General Manager Tang."

With Li Jia acting as a go-between, Tang Jinshan met Xu Ke.

"Director Xu, I've heard so much about you!"

"I've long admired Mr. Tang's reputation, so I've come here to hear about him."

Xu Ke was very happy.

He didn't expect that Li Jiaxin could actually help her make the connection, and that Tang Jinshan even had the intention to invest.

After some discussion, we got down to business.

Xu Ke vividly described his plan to use special effects to create a fantasy world of flying and escaping, different from the traditional martial arts world.

He redesigns everything, from characters to weapons, and presents them with special effects as much as possible.

"Director Xu, I, Tang Jinshan, will invest in this project!"

Tang Jinshan became more and more excited as he listened.

He admires directors like Tsui Hark who are full of imagination and creativity!

"Oh? Thank you so much, Mr. Tang! Thank you so much!"

Xu Ke didn't expect to be persuaded to invest so easily.

Li Jiaxin, on the other hand, was already used to it.

Does he even have money? He just squanders it!

That bastard still owes me 7500 million!

Is he just squandering his own money?

P.S.: The 3000 million coins needed for Lord of the Rings has been changed from three months to six months, because the protagonist couldn't raise 3000 million coins within three months.

Ten thousand US dollars, a miscalculation—
