Chapter 125： Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger

Li's case still needs my guidance. His "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" won an Oscar... eh?

Xu Ang saw that Li An had written four words on his script - Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

This is great.

So now Li Case has not made his famous film yet, and is investing in "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger"?

No wonder Xu Ang thought so. Since ancient times, literati have been condescending to each other, and Li An said that asking him to point him was a polite remark. If Xu Ang listened to him seriously, he would be a fool. The case of Ren Li just wanted to invest in him, and it was only his money that he saw.

Perhaps it wasn’t just the money, Li Case wanted to join the line of Peak’s studio and borrow Peak’s channels in North America.

Having hit a wall in Hollywood for many years, Li Case has been holding his breath to prove himself. Director Li has a big heart, thinking about becoming famous in the United States, but he doesn't like the domestic market.

In fact, I can't blame others for this. Who makes the domestic film and television market environment sluggish, let alone the United States, even a place as small as Hong Kong Island is better than it.

If it weren't for the strong local market, how could those Hong Kong Island stars and people in the film and television industry be so arrogant when facing mainland film and television people?

You see, after a few years, the local market on Hong Kong Island is dying, what is their attitude?

Do you want to vote for "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger"?

The answer is beyond doubt.

Investing is definitely an investment. If you don’t invest in a good drama that comes to your door, it is a waste of the opportunity that God gave you, and you will be punished.

However, how much to invest and how to invest needs to be considered.

Xu Ang turned the script, he didn't speak, Li An and Jiang Ziqiang would not disturb him at this time, the three fell into a brief silence.

This kind of silence has no pressure on Xu Ang. He is just doing two things in one mind. On the one hand, he wakes up his memory through the script in his hand, and reminds himself of the movie that he once watched on the Internet because of its great reputation. Movies, while thinking about what they can get from their investment.

By the time Xu Ang finished reading the script, half an hour had passed. Xiaoxiao was tired of watching the big boats in Victoria Harbour, so she ran back to Xu Ang and sat down obediently.

The little sister is usually naughty, but that's just normal times. As long as her brother and mother are working, she will become very good, quietly waiting for her brother and mother to finish things and come to play with her.

"Nice script."

Even though he found that some parts of the script were different from the movie in his memory, Xu Ang did not express his opinion, he just made a general evaluation.

After all, he is also a director, and he naturally knows that the actual shooting will not follow the script completely. Sometimes the director suddenly comes to inspiration, or there are other reasons to make changes to the script during the shooting. is a very common thing.

At this time, the script in his hand is different from the finished product, and Xu Ang is not surprised at all.

Just like that?

It's not enough to get a verbal compliment from Xu Ang, it's still 108,000 miles away from what Jiang Ziqiang and Li's case wanted to achieve on this trip.

Jiang Ziqiang is not an ordinary person who can become a celebrity on Hong Kong Island. Of course, he could see that Xu Ang already understood their purpose when he handed over the book to Li Case. The reason why Xu Ang didn't take the initiative was because he didn't want to lose the initiative.

When talking about things, whoever can't hold back his mouth first will give the initiative to others, and he will fall into passive.

Of course Jiang Ziqiang wanted to take the initiative, but the problem was that they couldn't take the initiative. The "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" in Li's case may or may not be cast for Xu Ang, but for them, whether or not they can get Xu Ang's investment and whether Peak has a channel in Hollywood is very important. The extent to which the film can succeed.

In the film and television industry, it does not mean that a good book will be successful. With a good book, there are many cases where the box office is a mess, so everyone will invest together, and more people will come in so that more people can share the risk.

Otherwise, he could do it with Jiang Ziqiang's assets to invest in the film Li Case. If he was so sure, why didn't he earn it himself and share the benefits with Xu Ang, who had only met for the first time today?

"So, Director Xu, are you interested in investing in this movie with Boss Jiang?"

Just when Jiang Ziqiang was thinking about how to open his mouth and trying to test Xu Ang's interest in the movie "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger", Li Jian couldn't hold back his temper and asked about investment first.

Hearing this, Jiang Ziqiang secretly screamed bad, this case Li was just a director, he was concerned about whether he could make the script he wrote, and he didn't think much about other considerations. This is different from Jiang Ziqiang, who wants to get more benefits as an investor.

"Director Li is here to attract investment?" Xu Ang did not answer Li's question, but looked at Jiang Ziqiang, "Mr. Jiang also means this?"

He was forcing Jiang Ziqiang to make a statement.

Only when the tone is set for a matter can it be carried out later.

Knowing that Xu Ang knew the purpose of himself and Li's case, and Li's case was the first to speak, Jiang Ziqiang could only say very single: "I, like Xu Sheng, think that Director Li's book is very good. Not bad. But my energy in Hollywood is limited, it would be great if Xu Sheng was willing to help."

This is the condition to help the release of "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" in North America.

Xu Ang was not surprised at all about this.

Many people think that if you have money, you can settle everything, and if you have money, you can enter the circle of the rich. This kind of thinking is completely wrong.

For some circles, money is just a stepping stone. It is the most basic condition for participating in the game. If you want to truly become a player, you must have other resources.

It's like investing in a movie. In addition to money, you have to have resources such as channels, otherwise no one will care about you.

There are so many rich people, how many people can participate in the film investment of the big directors?

"If I were an investor in a movie, I wouldn't stand idly by where I could help. If you want to come to Mr. Jiang, you know that besides Peakes, I also have a media company in the Mainland. Xiaoxiao Media has recently signed a group of newcomers. , I also want to exercise and train them when I have the opportunity."

This is asking for a role.

Jiang Ziqiang was not only not annoyed, but relaxed. Because he knew that Xu Ang had asked for a role, it must have been the willingness to invest.

On the contrary, Li Case was silent.

The book "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger" is his hard work. He wants to make his own decisions, and he doesn't want to let others dictate.

Xu Ang is not Jiang Ziqiang, and has no friendship with Li Case. This time his investment in "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" is just a business deal, don't get too close to him.

In fact, Xu Ang didn't want to befriend Li An either.

Don't look at this person's reputation as a famous director, he was highly praised for a certain period of time in later generations, but after the test of time, there are some problems with this person's position, at least not firm enough. Not to mention the films he made after he became famous, it was only about the Golden Horse Award, saying that he hadn't received any rumors before, and that he didn't know the position of the person who awarded the award, but not many people believed it.

So Li Kan, just get in touch with him. His movie "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger" participated in the investment to give Xiaoxiao Media a record. It is enough to use this movie to train new people for the company. More Xu Ang is not interested.

"Xiaoxiao Media has signed a lot of young actors, and I will recommend actors for the roles of Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu. If they can get Director Li's approval, what about the decision?"

"This……"

Case Li was obviously hesitant.

Jiang Ziqiang explained: "The role of Yu Jiaolong, Director Li and I, are both optimistic about Qi Su, so Xu Sheng, do you think it's better to switch?"

Xu Ang shook his head: "I know Qi Su, he's a good actor, but if you are interested, Qi Su may not be affectionate. Let's change one, which one? Li Mubai or the jade-faced fox?"

After hearing this, Li An quickly said, "That's not good. We have choices for these two actors, so we can't change them."

Xu Ang's American-style booth hand: "Then it's over. You have decided on two major roles for the main characters. It's fair for me to take Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu, who has a small role. Let's make a movie together. , everything can't be decided by you Then what are you going to do with me?"

Since the first invitation to Qi Su was rejected, Li Case actually wanted to try again, even if he waited for Qi Su's schedule, anyway, the preparation of the film also took time. However, the current situation cannot be controlled by him. Xu Ang is right. You want people to invest, but you still want to use other people's channels. You are begging others, but you still want to make the decision?

It was too beautiful to think.

Ren Xu Ang has no friendship with you. Don't take yourself too seriously with him.

After a long silence, Li Jian made a choice: "Director Xu, I can agree to your request, but I also have a request. The role of Yu Jiaolong is very important, so I hope to choose through audition, you'd better do more. an option."

Ha ha.

Xu Ang sneered in his heart. He remembered that after the international chapter became famous, he also talked about how much effort he had made to win the role of Yu Jiaolong, how much he had suffered, and how many eyes he had received. If it wasn't for this girl's tenacity, she could eat what ordinary people would eat. Unbearable hardship, this role that made her soar to the sky is simply not available. Originally, Xu Ang thought it was a bit exaggerated, but when he saw the ghostly appearance of Li Case, it seemed that what the International Chapter said was true.

People just want to increase the difficulty and make things difficult for your mainland actors to retreat, so that they can choose the actors from Hong Kong Island that they want.

"Then it's settled."

That said, but Xu Ang has already made up his mind, make a few more options, I will only give you one choice, you don't have to choose.

The gold master's father is just like that, and he is not used to your stinky behavior.

Dissatisfied?

Want to play some moth in the middle?

I am also a director. My reputation is much greater than yours, and my grades are not comparable to yours. Believe it or not, I have replaced you as a director?

If you are obedient, you will be rewarded with food, or you will be slapped to death.
