In the morning, in Liu Weiqiang's basic film, Tang Long and his group tried the editing version of "Initial D". Chen Qiang, Xiang Lan and his wife, as well as Huang Miao, the producer of Shengshi Film, also participated in the preview.

After the official editing version is released, there will be a trial conference, and the publisher will be invited.

The edited version is about 120 minutes, because Tang Long adapted many places, making the rhythm of this movie more compact and the visual effects more explosive.

Not to mention the heroine, Sai Mi Ishihara is much more pleasing to the eye than Apricot Suzuki. I have to say that Liu Weiqiang is a photographer and is really good at taking pictures.

Under his camera, Satomi Ishihara showed off with light. When the audience came to watch the movie, they would be uneasy to see the Mercedes-Benz on the Nakaki tree.

Not to mention the final racing scene, it is no longer the simple gutter cornering, but becomes a more exciting and dangerous speed car.

After the movie ended, everyone stood up and applauded Xiang Lan and praised Liu Weiqiang: "Qianzi, you have once again raised the limit of Hong Kong Island racing movies..."

Liu Weiqiang smiled reservedly and said: "This is the result of the whole crew's sincere cooperation, especially thanks to Aaron..."

He was also very satisfied with this movie and took Tang Long more seriously.

Xiang Lan asked: "When will the final edited version come out?"

Now the movie is just roughly cut, with subtitles and opening and ending.

Liu Weiqiang glanced at Mai Hui next to him and replied: "It should be completed by the end of September!"

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Chen, why did I hear that the promotion of Infernal Affairs has been reduced in budget?"

Xiang Lan was stunned, and after exchanging a wink with Chen Qiang, he explained: "Andrew, it's not because he has reduced his budget, but because "Big Man" has been upgraded to the National Day holiday, which makes the promotion of the two movies conflict, so he has to do it.

Have some adjustments. Don't worry, "Infernal Affairs" is also a movie invested by Shengshi Pictures. We will not favor one or the other..."

Liu Weiqiang glanced at Tang Long resentfully, nodded and said, "That's good..."

Xiang Lan's words were obviously perfunctory, but he was not easy to investigate. Other investors made a choice. He was just a director of "Infernal Affairs".

Tang Long was a little embarrassed when he heard it. He swore that "Infernal Affairs" was a work that saved the market.

Now this movie is obviously not enough to watch compared to "New Police Story" and "Big Man", after all, these two movies are over 100 million.

When Tang Long left, Liu Weiqiang took a notebook from Zhuang Wenqing and handed it to him, "This is the script of the sequel to "Initial D". If you have time, please read it and give some advice!"

"no problem!"

Tang Long responded in one go. He really wanted to create a big world of "Initial D" and compete with Hollywood's "Fast and Furious" to compete for the Asian market.

In his vision, the star lineup of Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia will be added in the future.

At noon, Chen Qiang Xianglan and his wife invited Tang Long and Lin Yao to dinner at Cuihua Restaurant.

During the meal, she introduced the promotion and promotion of "Big Man" to Lan. During this period, she discussed the promotion and promotion of the film with Bona Film in Kyoto.

It is said that the publicity plan has been sent to Chen Long, but Chen Long is now seeking investment in "Myth" in Hollywood and will not be back in early September.

Because Tang Long has high requirements for the special effects of "Myth", the investment will exceed 200 million yuan, and it is only in the Asian market, so the pressure to recover is somewhat high.

So this movie is planned to be globally distributed, and it is best to find investment in Hollywood to reduce risks.

However, Tang Long spoke with Chen Long on the phone a few days ago, and it seemed that the progress was not very smooth. After all, Chen Long had just lost two movies: "The Dragon Rebirth" and "Traveling the Earth for 88 Days".

Chen Long's partner in Hollywood, Xinyi, has doubts about the new IP of "Myth" and dare not take risks. Chen Long is lobbying.

Xiang Lan wiped her mouth gracefully, shook her head and said, "Actually, Shengshi Film and Eagle Emperor, and the mainland producers, it is not a problem to raise 200 million yuan in funds. It is just that the Asian market can make up for the capital. There is no need to find one.

With Hollywood funding, didn’t Zhang Yimou’s “Hero” also pay back its capital?”

The previous big sale of "New Police Story" made her feel confident in the Asian market.

Tang Long sighed, "It seems that the money of "Heroes" has been earned by Hollywood. There is no way. Only Hollywood has the ability to publish globally..."

Xiang Lan asked: "Have you mentioned to Chen Long that you have a relationship with Columbia Pictures? Will Columbia Pictures invest in it?"

"I said it, and I was taught a lesson..."

Tang Long smiled bitterly and spread his hands and said, "He said I don't know Hollywood. Before "Bangkok Killer" was successful, Columbia Pictures would not invest in other projects..."

Chen Qiang nodded and said, "This is true, Hollywood has always been without seeing rabbits and eagles..."

In fact, at the beginning, Tang Long did not intend to enter Hollywood so soon, and "Bangkok Killer" is not short of money. Hong Kong Island has Shengshi Film, Mainland has Zhongchao, and Bangkok has Mr. Chen's funds.

Because the filming in Bangkok is relatively expensive, the investment in the entire movie is about 40-50 million yuan.

The most expensive one is Tang Long himself, who gets 8 million yuan in this movie.

Most of the other actors are guest appearances, such as his senior brother and Lee Canshen.

The real actor invited is Ren Dahua, and Brother Hua is not expensive, about 1 million.

Last night, Wu Yanzu said that he also wanted to play with him and wanted to play a cameo role. Tang Long didn't know which role to give him. The only suitable role was the police leader.

However, he left that character to Wu Jin at the beginning, but fortunately he didn't tell Brother Jin, so now he can only look at other characters.

This time, Columbia Pictures' investment was not large, just invested 2 million US dollars, accounting for about 24% of the total investment.

When he was about to finish his meal, Xiang Lan asked, "Along, will you have tonight at Amei's concert?"

Tang Long nodded and said, "Yes, I have me in the sixth scene, a solo, and a song by Chen Huiling..."

Xiang Lan smiled quickly and said, "Then we are going to see it tonight. We missed it in your second game..."

...

When Tang Long and the others were watching the preview of "Initial D", Chen Fuguo, led by Chinese Xiao Wang, also watched the preview of "Big Man" in the internal screening hall of China Film.

When he left, Chen Fuguo's face turned gloomy. After watching the two movies, the high and bad things were immediately judged. No wonder Zhongchao wanted to upgrade "Big Man" to the National Day holiday.

After getting on the bus, Wang Lei asked: "What does Columbia Pictures say? Will it increase the promotional and distribution costs?"

Chen Fuguo shook his head and said, "I don't have the final say in the Asian company, and the film has been sent to the United States long ago. There are also my own judgment there. The company has decided to terminate the contract with Director He Ping, but I will wait until the movie is released.

It will be announced later..."

He sighed: "I have to say that Tang Long is really talented in scripts..."

Wang Lei also said in a sigh: "It was because my brother watched these two movies that he decided to make peace with him. He is indeed a talent..."

Chen Fuguo suddenly asked: "Mr. Wang, is the invitation from Chinese brothers counting?"

Wang Lei was stunned and replied quickly: "Of course, the promises of Chinese people have always been effective. What? Have you received bad wind?"

Chen Fuguo nodded and said sadly: "The headquarters refused to let me participate in Tang Long's new movie. He will send a producer from Hollywood. I can't figure out how Tang Long got online with Thomson.

Unfortunately, Tang Long and I have no friendship. I want him to help me speak, but I can't speak..."

Wang Lei thought of Tang Long's care for Liu Ruoyin that night, and smiled slightly, "Actually, there is not no way, it depends on whether you are willing to give up?"
Chapter completed!
