Investors? Maggie Cheung's words made Yang Dongxu stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "That's right."
"What's the name of the movie you're filming? When will it be released?" Maggie Cheung asked curiously.
Maggie Cheung's impression of Yang Dongxu undoubtedly stayed at the Taoist Master's birthday party in Yanjing. The knowledge about Yang Dongxu is only that of a high-ranking official's son, or a high-ranking official's son who seems to have some status in the world. She knew nothing about what Yang Dongxu did, what senior officials there were in the family, and even Yang Dongxu's age.
"'Fist of Heroes' is a movie from the Republic of China." Yang Dongxu introduced.
""Fist of Heroes"?" Maggie Cheung thought for a while and seemed to find no memory related to this movie, so she said, "Hasn't it been filmed yet?"
"It's already been filmed."
"Has it been filmed? Didn't you do any publicity? How do I know about this movie?" Maggie Cheung said subconsciously. After saying this, she felt that something was wrong with her words.
Because the film market in the mainland is currently extremely underdeveloped, or there is no one who can make movies at all. In short, Hong Kong movies are very popular in the mainland, but I have never seen any mainland movies screened in Hong Kong cinemas. Many Hong Kong people even think that mainland movies There is no film industry at all, everything needs to be imported from Hong Kong.
So now that Yang Dongxu's movie has been filmed, have you heard of it? It's probably a low-budget movie, and there probably isn't even a small star in the whole movie.
"Have you not heard the name of this movie? This is a movie based on Bruce Lee's "Fist of Fury"." Maggie Cheung's reaction undoubtedly surprised Yang Dongxu, and then he felt that he seemed to have missed something important.
"That..." Maggie Cheung didn't know what to say for a while. To be honest, she had never heard of it. She was afraid of hurting Yang Dongxu's self-esteem. She said that she had heard of it. She was not the kind of person who liked to lie, so she was confused for a while Somewhat confused.
At this time, Yang Dongxu finally realized what was wrong. The Hong Kong film industry is in an uproar because a mainlander wants to be an investor, or even a screenwriter, a director, and a producer to challenge the Hong Kong film industry. This matter is not only in the film industry, but also ordinary people have heard of such a mainlander.
But they only knew that a mainlander was going to make a movie, and they even knew that the movie invited Jet Li, who was also from the mainland, to be the leading actor. But they didn’t know who this mainland guy was, and they didn’t know the name of the movie.
Yang Dongxu slapped his forehead fiercely, and only then did he realize that he seemed to have made an own mistake. The gimmick of the movie was that it created a topic and made it popular, but he didn't tell the audience what the name of his movie was.
"You watch first, I have something else to do." Yang Dongxu couldn't help but stand up and made such a mistake. How could he still be in the mood to watch a movie?
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Yang Dongxu's negligence. Even Fu Decai, who has been managing the company and promoting the company's artists' records countless times in the past few years, also forgot about this matter.
The reason for such negligence is that the current atmosphere in Hong Kong is too confusing. Whether it is the film industry, the media, or ordinary people, they are discussing the matter of mainlanders filming movies, so he and Fu De People subconsciously thought that since the film was already well-known, they would just put a poster in front of the cinema when it was being played and no longer had to spend money to promote it. As a result, the oolong incident was born.
"I didn't mean that, I..." Seeing Yang Dongxu stand up and leave after seeing her hesitation, Maggie Cheung thought her words had hurt the other person's self-esteem and quickly stood up and grabbed Yang Dongxu's arm to explain.
"Uh..." Seeing Maggie Cheung's anxious look, Yang Dongxu, who was particularly speechless by a big oolong, paused for a moment. When his mind turned around, he knew why Maggie Cheung was so anxious.
The two of them stood up and immediately attracted the attention of many people. The people next to them initially thought it was a young couple arguing over something, but after a few curious glances, their eyes couldn't help but become a little confused, and their eyes turned to Maggie Cheung. Sweep around.
Although Maggie Cheung has not yet grown to the level of a feminine goddess, she is the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong. In addition, she has also been an active star on the screen in the past few years, so her popularity is not low.
As soon as he saw the reaction of the people next to him, Yang Dongxu grabbed Maggie Cheung's hand and pulled her away together. I don't know how this girl thought that a big star would dress up like this to watch a movie. It would be weird if someone didn't recognize him and he wasn't stuck here.
Being pulled by Yang Dongxu and walking out quickly, Maggie Cheung also realized that she could not be recognized, so she quickly covered her face with her hands and left in a hurry.
Several people who noticed that Maggie Cheung looked familiar were even more confused when they saw the other person walking away, and wanted to take it out on them, but the movie had already started. In addition, the theater was dimly lit and they didn't see clearly that it was Maggie Cheung, so they frowned and thought for a while before focusing on the movie that started playing.
"Huh..." Yang Dongxu and Maggie Cheung breathed a long sigh of relief after running out of the movie and sitting in the car. Maggie Cheung patted her chest with fear.
"I didn't mean that, and I didn't look down on the movie you made. It's just, just..." Maggie Cheung took a look outside the car to make sure no one was chasing her, and she was completely relieved. Thinking of what happened just now, she quickly explained.
"Needless to say, I know what you mean. I'm not angry. I really thought of something very important so I left." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Although the goddess in front of her has not yet reached the peak of her appearance and temperament, Maggie Cheung's innocent appearance at this time is quite cute. Especially when Yang Dongxu said that he understood and was not angry, the other party didn't believe it. He felt that Yang Dongxu was pretending to be strong. His cute expression made Yang Dongxu almost couldn't help but reach out and pinch the other person's nose.
"I'm really not angry. I was in a hurry to leave because the movie was about to be released, and I remembered that the movie's title hadn't been promoted yet." Yang Dongxu explained again.
"Ah! Then you have to hurry up, otherwise it will definitely affect the box office. Which movie you invested in? Why don't you promote it until it is released? The promotion must be done many days in advance, and some of them have not even been filmed yet. Just do the publicity." Maggie Cheung was stunned and became anxious, thinking that it was Yang Dongxu's first time investing in a movie and he didn't understand and even forgot to do the publicity.
"It's not that there was no promotion, it's just that I forgot to mention the name of the movie during the promotion." Yang Dongxu looked a little embarrassed on his face. Fortunately, I met Maggie Cheung today and invited her to attend the premiere, but then I realized that I made such a mistake. It would be tragic if we waited until after the release to find out.
"Who made the publicity so sloppily? Are you being deceived?" Maggie Cheung couldn't help but worry.
The current Hong Kong film industry is not peaceful. There are gangs who force celebrities to make movies to make money, and there are also people who use making movies as an excuse to cheat money. The chance of something like this happening even though the name of the movie was forgotten during the promotion was so low that she felt Yang Dongxu might have been deceived.
"Who lied to me?" Yang Dongxu smiled bitterly: "I wrote the script, the investor is me, the producer is me, the director is me, and I even found the actors myself. Do you think that one can deceive me? "
"Ah! That's it. Then hurry up and contact people for publicity. Do you want to help me meet reporters from several newspapers?" After hearing what Yang Dongxu said, Maggie Cheung understood that this was indeed not being cheated, but that it was her first time filming a movie and she was unfamiliar with it. , so I made this mistake.
"Contact person?" Yang Dongxu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he didn't need to run out in a hurry, he could just call Fudecai directly. Because he didn’t know any Hong Kong reporters, and Fude Cai was the professional in this area.
Concern leads to chaos! Yang Dongxu patted his forehead, patted the seat in front of him, and Du Fei handed his eldest brother over. At this time, Maggie Cheung discovered that there were not only the two of them in the car, but also a third person. No, there were two more people. In addition to Du Fei, the driver Fu Chaming sent to Yang Dongxu was also there. This made her subconsciously feel a little cautious. After all, she was a star now. If the scene of Yang Dongxu holding her hand and getting in the car was spread, there would be scandals everywhere tomorrow.
I don’t know where Fu Decai was so cool. The voice on the other end of the phone was very noisy, but when Fu Decai heard what he said clearly, bang, then there was a beeping sound from the phone, OK! This phone must have been dropped on the ground. I don’t know if it was broken or not. But by leaving the matter to Fu Decai, he no longer had to worry about this matter, and Yang Dongxu felt relaxed.
"Well... how about we buy movie tickets to watch the next show?" He ran out and suddenly found that he had nothing to do. More importantly, he pulled Maggie Cheung out who wanted to watch a movie. Yang Dongxu felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I'm afraid of being recognized." Maggie Cheung shook her head.
At this time, I thought about the fact that my very brave assistant didn't take anyone with me to disguise myself and ran to a crowded place like a movie theater. Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise it would be troublesome if it caused any chaos.
"Did something unhappy happen to you?" A big star went to the cinema to watch a movie without anyone else. Either he was too tightly controlled and wanted to indulge himself, or he was in a bad mood because of something. She did such a risky thing to vent her anger, and when she thought of Maggie Cheung's melancholy expression as she sat there just now, it was obviously because of the second situation that she was watching the movie alone.
"It's nothing." Maggie Cheung shook her head.
"If you have anything to say, you have helped me a lot today and I owe you a favor." Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk, Yang Dongxu didn't ask further. However, this chance encounter did help Yang Dongxu a lot. If he had waited until the movie box office failed to understand the reason, I guess Yang Dongxu was depressed and wanted to hit the wall at that time. After all, he had everything, but he was stumbled upon by the own-goal incident. He was so depressed that he vomited blood. It's possible.
"Then you treat me to dinner." Although she didn't know why she helped Yang Dongxu, this favor appeared inexplicably, but Maggie Cheung didn't care about it. Originally she wanted to say it didn't matter and she couldn't help, but she didn't know why the words came to her lips like this.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Speaking of eating, Yang Dongxu felt that he was indeed a little hungry. Although he had just finished dinner not long ago, the surprise seemed to be very helpful for digestion...
