"Come on, Fa Zai, Xiao Li, have some soup. This soup is very good for the body..." Seeing Reeves staring at the soup for a long time, my mother couldn't help but smile and explain: "These are very nourishing.
, drink!”
Reeves also participated in the performance of this film. Of course he is not playing the villain in the film. He may not be willing to do it even if Xiao Ran is willing. Playing the villain in such a commercial film means self-definition. Xiao Ran is not willing to waste such a good actor.
actor.
In the film, Reeves plays a young CIA agent who discovers the conspiracy of the villain Doctor and others, and later becomes friends with Caring, played by Fa Ge. However, Reeves's role in the second film is actually not
A lot, but the key lies in the third part. The third part is about everyone fighting for their faith and nation. The content is very intense and it is definitely not easy to film.
Xiao Ran had already decided not to let Liang Jun direct the third film at this time, because he knew very well that Liang Jun would never be able to handle the literary drama that took up a lot of space in the third film. Reeves is not yet popular in Hong Kong.
However, at the beginning of this year, Xiao Ran asked the screenwriting team to create a script specifically for Reeves. In the film, Xiao Li plays an Interpol policeman and Zhen Zidan plays a local policeman, portraying their conflict of ideas.
The box office of that film was not bad, with over 15 million. Xiao Li's second film was an English film. Xiao Ran concentrated many Western actors who came to Hong Kong into the film and moved to Europe.
It's a love story. The film is still in post-production, so I don't know how it will fare at the box office.
The fourth film Xiao Ran prepared for Xiaoli was "Wolves", which was borrowed from a story he had read at Qidian. If the response is good, it could be made into a series. The only thing that makes him a little depressed is that he once
Call Coppola and ask his nephew to come to Hong Kong. A role in "Wolf Pack" is specially prepared for Brother Cage.
It's a pity that Brother Coppola agreed, but he still hasn't given a reply. Reeves wiped his mouth, enjoyed the lingering fragrance in his mouth, and said to Xiao Ran in still blunt Mandarin: "Auntie, you can do it."
The soup is great. I have been in Hong Kong for almost a year, and my aunt’s soup is the best!”
When my mother heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and wished she could make another pot of soup right away. Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing: "Actually, there are many good things in China, as long as you know how to enjoy them. How, I have been here for a long time,
I’m used to it now!”
Xiao Ran asked this point in vain. Xiao Li can basically pass the language barrier now. What else is he not used to? Xiao Li is very satisfied with everything here. The only thing he is dissatisfied with is that Chinese is too difficult to learn.
I can't hold those damn chopsticks well.
Except for the language, everything else is obviously not a problem. There are many Western-style restaurants in Hong Kong anyway. At first, Xiaoli was surprised when he came to Hong Kong to shoot his first movie, because the shooting speed here is much faster than in Hollywood. In Hollywood
, not to mention common things like working all night, even if you work an extra hour, you have to file a lawsuit with the Screen Actors Guild, which makes the film company unable to bear it.
However, after the film was released, he gradually understood why he still had to stay up all night even when he was not on schedule at all. Because of inspiration, the reason why Hong Kong films can rise so quickly is because they are free enough, unlike Hollywood where everything is regulated.
It's very rigid and streamlined, and no matter how much inspiration you have, it's limited.
If a director is inspired, not only one day's work, but also three days in a row is not a problem. Xiao Ran tried to work for more than thirty hours continuously when filming "The Spy" because he needed to work in the void as soon as possible.
The inspiration becomes reality before it dissipates.
"Not bad, just the language..." Xiao Li showed a sunny smile. Sometimes Xiao Ran felt that Xiao Li was really suitable to play that kind of rebellious boy. An idea came to his mind, and he thought maybe he could write about a rebellious boy.
This is a story about Xiao Li who rebelled and came to Hong Kong to settle down.
Xiao Li also knew that this was not a problem at all, as long as the language was enough for communication, naturally there were the best dubbing professionals in Hong Kong to dub him in various languages except English. He was also quite satisfied with the treatment here. At first
Phantom offered him only 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, but with this third film, it had already increased a lot.
Speaking of foreign actors, there are quite a few under Phantom, but there are really not many future talents like Xiaoli. Daisy can be called the foreigner with the highest net worth at present, which has reached 1.8 million, barely reaching 1.8 million yuan.
Second-tier level.
To put it simply, Phantom is now a bit like the United Nations. Not only Westerners, but also filmmakers from Japan and Southeast Asia came to Hong Kong at the invitation of branches from various places. Xiao Ran’s move is called using foreigners to control foreigners, using foreigners’ own abilities to conquer Phantom’s own.
Country, this is exactly what Hollywood usually does.
"It just so happens that Brother Fa, you also want to learn English, and Xiao Li wants to learn Chinese. Let's communicate more." Xiao Ran glanced at Brother Fa and Xiao Li and couldn't help but laugh. Now all the actors and filmmakers in Hong Kong know this.
One thing is that if you want to achieve greater success in the future, you must learn Chinese. Especially the staff behind the scenes are told that there will definitely be more and more foreigners in the future, and it is best to understand some English to facilitate communication.
Under such circumstances, Fa Ge's proficiency in Mandarin was only slightly better than that of Xiao Li. Just as Xiao Ran was thinking about it, the phone rang. It was Wei Dongling calling with a very frustrated voice:
"The acquisition of Land failed. We lost more than 600 million, and Li Ka-shing lost more than 700 million!"
Xiao Ran was suddenly startled, and then shook his head in frustration. Originally, the acquisition of Land was not only for the golden land owned by this company, but also for the famous infrastructure company owned by Land, so as to enter the mainland market in the future. Since it failed, the only option was
Set your sights on something else.
"It doesn't matter, we can afford to lose this little money. Besides, Fang Xiaoqiang is using the Gulf crisis to make money for the company!" Xiao Ran thought about it for a moment. As for infrastructure companies, Li Chaoren's Yangtze River Infrastructure has not been broken up yet. If it can
If we build infrastructure ahead of them, we will have greater advantages in entering the mainland in the future.
Thinking of this, and then thinking of Wheelock, he said solemnly: "Take a break and launch an acquisition from Wheelock in a month. After we win this company, we will consider Chengji Infrastructure! See you tomorrow!"
Wei Dongling was actually not as frustrated as Xiao Ran imagined, because this battle was mainly lost to Land's British allies. If Land had not joined forces with other British-owned companies, he and Li Ka-shing would have definitely succeeded. He and Xiao Ran were not interested in this either.
I am very sure, but I am just treating this as a practice. You must know that Xiao Ran is still brewing several huge acquisition plans in his mind, such as the future acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom worth more than 30 billion US dollars.
There are four major old British-owned companies in Hong Kong. Hutchison Whampoa caused a sensation in Hong Kong when it was acquired by Li Chaoren. Land is also a rare strong stock in previous stock market crashes. The value of the remaining Jardine Matheson has increased since Wharf was acquired by Pao Yukang.
It's not that big. The only target is the fourth old British-owned company Wheelock. This company has a lot of cash flow, but the issued shares are only worth 2 to 3 billion, so it is not difficult to acquire it.
Moreover, Wei Dongling has basically made preparations, and is just waiting to announce the launch of the acquisition. After experiencing this classic anti-takeover case against Land, Wei Dongling learned a lot from Li Ka-shing, and he believes that he can succeed.
Just after dinner in the evening, Xiao Ran was thinking about which director to choose to partner with Liang Jun. After thinking for a moment, he finally decided to let Liu Mei go over and give it a try. Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to Xiao Ran, said softly: "Something happened in the afternoon.
Yang Yuejie asked me for help!"
For a moment, both my mother and Xiao Han were very curious. Xiao Ran turned to look at Lin Qingxia in astonishment. Lin Qingxia glanced at Xiao Han with a look of disgust on her face. Her mother immediately understood that it was inconvenient to say in front of Xiao Han,
She immediately drove the reluctant Xiao Han back to the room. Lin Qingxia then said solemnly: "Yang Yuejie accompanied that Chen Dezhong to Macau the day before yesterday, but was forced to go with another person..."
Not only Xiao Ran understood this, but even his mother knew it very well. She sighed disdainfully, stood up and left: "I'm too lazy to listen to these dirty and dirty things! A Ran, as a brother, you must protect my little one."
Han, if she loses half of her hair, see how I deal with you!"
"Okay, then you can take care of me now!" Xiao Ran sighed softly, pretending to be relaxed and trying to make his mother happy: "Because I saw her lose a hair today, so you can take care of me twice!"
Mom and Lin Qingxia immediately couldn't help laughing and forgot about the unhappiness they had just had. After thinking about it for a while, Lin Qingxia went upstairs and told Xiao Ran the whole thing. In fact, it was very simple. Yang Yuejie was born as an Asian lady, but she didn't
She was only able to rank in the rankings, and she was very plump and gorgeous. Her personality was unwilling to be lonely, and she was extremely vain. As a result, she was taken care of by a rich man named Chen Dezhong.
Chen Dezhong is not a good guy, and his nurturing affairs are often exposed. This guy is also very thick-skinned and never takes it seriously. This time Yang Yuejie went to Macau with Chen Dezhong, but she was forced to sleep with other people, and was also raped.
Abused. Yang Yuejie immediately thought of Xiao Ran, but with her identity and personality, she was obviously not qualified to get to know Xiao Ran.
So, this guy thought of Lin Qingxia. Everyone in Asia didn't know that Xiao Ran loved Lin Qingxia. As long as she was willing to blow the wind and Xiao Ran was willing to come forward, the matter would be done. Of course, Lin Qingxia had guessed this, and Yang Yuejie naturally
Wouldn't be stupid enough to say it.
Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly. Such things are common. Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia contestants often end up like this. Miss Asia, which was founded in 1985 and ceased in 1999, is particularly serious in this regard.
Not to mention, all the third-level actresses produced by Asia Sister are gone.
Historically, Qiu Yueqing, who was a photography model in 1987, won the photogenic, swimsuit, beauty and charm awards, and became the champion. With such a person, there is really no reason to make a third-level film, but she happened to be in 1990
I went to take the role in "Three Degrees of Temptation" directed by He Fan. She even wore a thin shirt and wet her body, revealing all three points of her body. She was the first Asian sister champion to perform in a revealing scene.
After that, she endured huge social pressure. Her subsequent appearances in "Razor Lover", "Friday Gigolo" and "Beautiful Girl" were all glamorous enough, but she didn't reveal anything. Later, her acting career was bleak. In 1994,
In 2010, she appeared again in "Suck Me a Kiss", but unfortunately it was not successful and she had to return to the television industry to continue her development.
Ye Yuqing, the second runner-up of Asia Sister, was also one of the beneficiaries of the boom in tertiary films in the early 1990s. After starring in many tertiary films that were successful at the box office, she finally made a successful transition with her clever mind and acted in dramas and art films, becoming a
A ray of red star.
Weng Hong, who is also the Asian sister champion, made many classic third-level films with Wang Jing, but ended up falling out with her family. However, her roles in films such as "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty" and "The Twelve Chambers of a Brothel" were not successful.
It's really a classic in the third level. Later, he accidentally transformed into a comedian, which can be regarded as having a good ending.
The first runner-up of the 2018 Asian Sister contest, Zeng Xiaoyan, Gong Xuehhua, who was ranked fifth at the age of 47, and Zhang Wenci, who has the most perfect figure, have also acted in many third-level films. However, they were very clear-headed and refused to do so.
Naked. Another example is the origin of Asian sister
In 1995, Chen Yiming openly exposed himself on a TV show to gain recognition. He also starred in Da Lu Te House's "One Night Stand", and also had scandals with Zhou Xingchi and Er Dongsheng. She is recognized as a woman who is good at hype.
One of the stars.
There are also Zhou Hong, Fan Aijie and Cai Meilan who acted in "The Secret Book of Secret Love". The most funny and sad thing is Chen Baolian. This actress who later committed suicide by jumping off a building was originally forced by her mother to enter the path of tertiary films. And
Less than two months after her death, "The Life of the Peerless Porn Star Pauline" came out. Coincidentally, it was Sun Yali who starred in the film who was not chosen as the Asian sister.
It is no exaggeration to say that based on the huge figures mentioned above, Sister Ya has simply become a training ground for third-level actresses. Xiao Ran did not want ATV to carry this burden. Shortly after acquiring ATV, he immediately ordered Zhu Guangli to modify the selection rules.
, modified this to be more suitable for selecting actresses in the entertainment industry, added rules on scholarly connotations, etc., and strived to create a beauty pageant that brings new blood.
There were no people who acted in third-level films, but there were still people who were being kept, and Yang Yuejie was one of them. Xiao Ran was too lazy to care about those who were being kept, and it was too much to force him to take care of them. It was basically interfering with other people's privacy.
"Why don't you give her a hand? She looks very pitiful!" Recalling the scene when Yang Yuejie knelt down and cried to her, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel sympathy.
Xiao Ran suddenly laughed out loud, stroking her hair and said softly: "What's so pitiful about that kind of person? If she didn't get along with others, no one would force her. She asked for it, why bother?
Ignore her again."
"You are really..." Lin Qingxia glared at Xiao Ran angrily, pushed away his mischievous hand, and then sighed: "Actually, I also know that this is the fault of myself, but I still can't bear it when I see it.
Forget it, you decide!"
"Decide by yourself? That would be interesting!" Xiao Ran murmured to himself, suddenly smiled, hugged his wife and sweetly said: "Don't worry, since it is you who come forward, it would be bad if I don't agree."
Xiao Ran chuckled. He knew that he was sometimes a little harsh on certain things. After the red face was finished, he still needed a white face. He thought that letting his wife play the role of a white face must be a very suitable candidate.
