1389 [Lime Hao II] under
Bi Wenfeng Law Firm, Hong Kong
Du Chunmei only learned later that Fu Qingying had brought her children to Song Zhichao to "visit".
The one who called her was her younger sister Song Yuqing.
According to Song Yuqing, since Fu Qingying took the child out of the Song family, her father Song Haiming and her mother Wang Jinfeng have been very uncomfortable and haven't had a good meal for several days.
Song Yuqing said that she could not comfort her, and she was still "injured" and worked at Phantom Entertainment, so she called Du Chunmei and asked Du Chunmei to help persuade her and comfort the two old people.
Originally, many of the things in the Song family were handled by Du Chunmei, so Du Chunmei was nominally also the "major manager" of the Song family. However, the law firm has been busy recently, so she was not distracted from managing the affairs of the Song family.
However, in Du Chunmei's mind, the affairs of the Song family were even more important than their own work. So after receiving a call from Song Yuqing, Du Chunmei quickly completed the work at hand, and then took a leave of absence to the lawyer Bi Wenfeng, and then hurried back to the Song family.
I have to say that Du Chunmei is definitely the closest person to Song Haiming and Wang Jinfeng.
Du Chunmei has always played the role of listener and problem-solver in the Song family, and has won the trust of the two elders.
As soon as Du Chunmei came back, the old couple took her hand and hid in the room and said all the things they were holding in their hearts.
Song Zhichao originally wanted to wait for Du Chunmei to come out to ask about her parents' situation, but Du Chunmei seemed to have a deep conversation with her parents and waited for a long time but didn't see her.
Song Zhichao's company is busy and he can't wait at home all the time, so he asked Ruan Jun to prepare the car and then go back to work in the company.
...
Hong Kong, Song Group—
Although the Song Group is not as large as Song Zhichao when he left Hong Kong, it has become faster and more efficient.
For example, now, the Hong Kong version of the movie "Infernal Affairs" led by Song Zhichao has been filmed, and the edited sample Song Zhichao has also watched. Next, he discussed with many senior executives of the company's premiere of the film in Hong Kong.
It would be fine if it was just a normal premiere, but the problem is that the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" involves confrontation with Kang's Entertainment and the competition for Princess Golden Cinemas.
Judging from the current situation, the situation is not optimistic, because the big movie "Chinese Heroes" produced by Kang's Entertainment seems to have new gravity.
After all, the Hong Kong film market was prosperous by martial arts films back then. Although in recent years, the concept of martial arts films has been consumed too much because of the martial arts film series of "Invincible on the Orient" and "Wang Feihong", which has made the box office of martial arts movies poor, this time Kang's remake of "The Hero of China" is adapted from a comic story and has many fans in Hong Kong.
In addition, the most popular male stars in the Hong Kong film and television industry are undoubtedly Ekin Cheng and Nicholas Tse who star in this drama.
These two were also the two most popular stars in the late 1990s in their previous lives, and Song Zhichao also knew that the drama they co-wrote was also a big hit in their previous lives.
So Song Zhichao has encountered a very strange judgment now: Can "Infernal Affairs" defeat "Chinese Heroes"?!
In principle, the reason why "Infernal Affairs" became popular in his previous life was related to the weakness of the overall film market in Hong Kong after 2000, that is, after 2000, the drama was released, which extended another three or five years to Hong Kong movies.
In the past life, "Infernal Affairs" made the originally weak Hong Kong films "prosper" again. During that period, Hong Kong filmmakers who were no longer able to run were scrambled to shoot movies with similar themes. For a time, movie series such as "Black and White Forest", "Wreak City", "Fire Dragon Showdown", and "Dark War" triggered the second spring of Hong Kong police and gangster movies and two hero movies.
So much so that at that time, some Hong Kong filmmakers believed that Hong Kong movies were full of blood, while as film practitioners, they were: everyone had a job and everyone had food!
Not only that, "Infernal Affairs" has also become popular internationally from Hong Kong. Even Hollywood has bought the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" and remake it into the American version of "Infernal Affairs", allowing Leonardo and Matt Damon, the popular couple, to perform in the play, and won the Oscar, the highest award in Hollywood.
From this we can see how majestic the glory of "Infernal Affairs" is!
Now Song Zhichao uses it to compete with Kang's Entertainment's "Chinese Heroes", but he is a little unconfident.
There is no way, even Song Zhichao's confidant "Huang Cailun" believes that "Infernal Affairs" wants to win "Chinese Heroes" with a chance of winning.
"Huang Cailun" is the golden gangster "Huo Qilin" that Song Zhichao met when he first came to Hong Kong.
Now, through self-study, Huang Cailun not only completed his university studies, but also obtained the accounting qualification certificate from the University of Hong Kong and a doctoral certificate in economics and management. He can be said to be a super inspirational figure from a gangster to an elite.
Of course, for Huang Cailun, these were all given to him by Song Zhichao. It was not Song Zhichao's encouragement, nor Song Zhichao's support and trust in him. Huang Cailun was still the "fire kilin" who was confused all day long and had a day without tomorrow.
Because of this, Huang Cailun worked harder to repay Song Zhichao.
now--
Huang Cailun appeared at the meeting and did not shy away from his experience of being a gangster. Instead, he told everyone that it was because he had been at the bottom that he knew how much impact the comics like "The Hero of China" had on Hong Kong people, especially young people in Hong Kong.
According to Huang Cailun, at least seven or eight out of the ten young people in Hong Kong have seen the comic "Chinese Heroes".
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the peripheral products of "Chinese Heroes" have always sold well, so it is better to mention comic T-shirts, comic dolls, comic posters, etc.
"The love of Hong Kong people for "Chinese Heroes" is like chasing girls. They don't count if they think about it day and night, but they are still willing to spend money!"
"So, "Chinese Heroes" has such a loyal and huge fan base. Even if Kang's Entertainment does not make any publicity in the early stage, those comic fans will buy tickets to support them at that time!"
Huang Cailun gave a conclusion in front of Song Zhichao.
The others also nodded repeatedly, thinking that what Huang Cailun said was true.
Huang Cailun continued: "In contrast, the promotion of "Infernal Affairs" has always been based on the joint shooting of "Yue Yeung and Tony Leung," and a script "China, South Korea and the United States" as the selling point. It is a bit weaker in terms of entertainment and has no fan base. Even when interviewing and investigating data on the street, the number of people who know "Infernal Affairs" is far less than the number of people who know "Chinese Heroes". To sum up, if our Song Group cannot take action, then the "Infernal Affairs" that we invest in Phantom Entertainment will lose to Kang, and even lose all our money!"
Song Zhichao never expected Huang Cailun to give such a shocking conclusion.
He couldn't help but start to reflect on himself, did he do something wrong?
From the beginning, he was influenced by the prestige of "Infernal Affairs" in his previous life, so he made a wrong judgment, believing that the drama "Infernal Affairs" is irresistible and is a good film located at the top of the pyramid, and no movie is worth mentioning in front of it.
But look back and take a closer look—
After all, it is 1999, not the future 2000 years later. The most influential thing in the Hong Kong film market is martial arts films and action films, rather than the world that is known as the "innovative" new generation of police and gangster films.
Song Zhichao's "foresight" golden finger made a very interesting "joke" with Song Zhichao for the first time.
The joke is that you are ahead of the curve!
Everything will only play its greatest role in the right time, place and environment.
Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey" is a super classic today, but when it was released that year, it lost all the money. The reason is that it is too advanced and people can't understand it and can't appreciate it.
So what about now?
Will "Infernal Affairs" that Song Zhichao made in advance also follow the old path of "American Journey" and become a classic film that failed the box office?!
For a moment, Song Zhichao was sweating profusely.
After considering this, Song Zhichao temporarily disbanded the meeting and asked everyone to go back and discuss how to promote "Infernal Affairs" before the release of "Infernal Affairs".
Everyone also understood that it was of great importance and had to make good decisions.
...
The people gradually dispersed-
Song Zhichao stopped Huang Cailun and asked him a few more questions.
Huang Cailun still insisted on his own opinion. The opponents facing "Infernal Affairs" this time are too strong, and it may be difficult to win Kang's entertainment.
Song Zhichao nodded and stopped asking more questions.
Dingling!
Dingling!
At this time, a phone call happened to come, and Song Zhichao asked Huang Cailun to leave first.
Song Zhichao put his hands in his pocket and faced the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered the phone.
Du Chunmei's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Du Chunmei seemed to be driving, and she could vaguely hear the sound of the engine through the phone.
Before Song Zhichao could ask, Du Chunmei took the initiative to tell the situation at home.
Fortunately, it's fine. Both Song Haiming and Wang Jinfeng are in a much better mood.
After hearing this, Song Zhichao let out a sigh and said, "This is a trouble for you. You are so busy with work now, and you still have to take care of me..."
Du Chunmei smiled, "Brother, you are so disgusting. If you hadn't brought me to Hong Kong, I wouldn't have been today - I want to thank you!" As soon as Du Chunmei finished speaking, she heard her screaming "ah", then she heard a sudden brake sound and a bang impact!
Song Zhichao's heart suddenly swelled and he hurriedly asked, "Chunmei, what happened?"
There was no reply on the other end of the phone.
Song Zhichao became anxious and hurriedly called Ruan Jun and Ruan Ling to prepare the car quickly.
Song Zhichao continued to make a phone call while walking out, but the other side of the phone had already hung up. No matter how you call, it was all beeping blind.
Chapter completed!
