Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 164 Cheng's Confession

During the Christmas season in December, "Infernal Affairs" and the co-production "Hero" will be released. These two films are the last hope of Xiangjiang filmmakers.

Even Luo Junyan just played a trivial role, and he took the initiative to support the platform, calling on the audience to support the local production. This may have nothing to do with ethnicity and country, but a dignified society where the Chinese group occupies the absolute mainstream is actually swept by foreign films in the film market. To put it more seriously, this is a shame for the Hong Kong filmmakers.

With all the will, the start was quite good. In the three days that "Infernal Affairs" and "Hero" were released, the attendance rate has always remained high, and the box office results can be expected, and the production company will slightly stabilize the mind.

On New Year's Day in 2003, sporadic fatal epidemics began to appear in Asia.

Brother Cheng didn't pay much attention to it at first. As the reports increased, he realized what happened. This is a catastrophe. At the peak of the epidemic, everyone will be in danger and order will be chaotic.

What kind of film is this going to be made? No matter how much money you make, you have to spend your life. But how do you tell Luo Junyan? Could it be that he is ignorant of the prophet? Brother Cheng is caught in a dilemma.

In the end, Cheng Ge's feelings still defeated reason, he decided to confess to Luo Junyan and tell the truth about everything to his closest apprentice.

After Brother Cheng pulled Luo Junyan alone and explained his origin clearly, Luo Junyan was directly dumbfounded.

This kind of thing is dumbfounded by everyone, not because of shock, but because of suspicion that the other party has some mental illness. From the inexplicable future to the present, but this world can't find any traces that existed in the past, who can believe this kind of nonsense?

Luo Junyan hesitated for a moment before saying vaguely: "Master, have you been too tired recently?"

Brother Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "A Jun, this shouldn't have been told to you, it's about the life of a teacher. But things are urgent, and now the catastrophe is imminent, it will be too late for us to avoid it."

Luo Junyan looked at Brother Cheng and felt that he really didn't mean to be joking at all, and he was a little vague in his heart.

Brother Cheng said: "A Jun, remember when we first met, did I mention Andy Lau to you?"

Luo Junyan tried to recall, in a vague impression, it seemed that Cheng Ge really mentioned Andy Lau at that time. But At that time Andy Lau hadn't made his debut yet, so this can't be explained by mental illness.

Luo Junyan felt his breathing rush, and asked cautiously: "Master, did you really travel from the future?"

Brother Cheng nodded silently and said: "I was going to the toilet at the time. A pattern was drawn on the toilet door. I just stared at it for a while. When I pushed the door out, it was in 1979. It was in Xiangjiang. Outside the door of the public toilet."

Luo Junyan still chooses to believe in Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng would not joke casually about this kind of thing. Being able to predict the future is the greatest guarantee for auspiciousness and avoiding misfortunes. Luo Junyan was shocked and delighted.

Immediately, Luo Junyan stopped all the preparations for the filming of "Construction", and the external rhetoric had new ideas, and the script had to be adjusted in depth. Great directors often do this, and they are considered to be particular about making major changes to the script before filming. Others naturally have no objection.

But then Luo Junyan recalled all the employees to the headquarters, which is a bit confusing.

Even Sister Xi couldn't stand up to protest. She had to go back to the headquarters and wait for the script to be revised. This is good. Not only did the filming of the new film be stopped, but the pause button was also pressed for other tasks.

And something even stranger happened. Since Cheng Ge told Luo Junyan of his secrets, every night he woke up in the morning, his memory of the future would be blurred. Even if he took notes, all the contents recorded the next day would disappear.

Just when Brother Cheng was about to forget all the future information, Luo Junyan asked him one last question. In Brother Cheng’s memory, is it possible that other people have also passed through?

Brother Cheng tried hard to remember, but the imprint in his mind became more and more blurred.

Before he left the toilet, while washing his hands by the sink, there was a woman next to him who had just walked out of the women's toilet. Brother Cheng just glanced at the woman next to her through the mirror, and felt that her face seemed familiar, but with such a blink of an eye, it was completely impossible to confirm who she looked like now.

What's more, if Brother Cheng crossed over, the woman might not cross over when she walked out of the bathroom. The ghost knew if that picture was also painted on the door of the women's toilet?

Luo Junyan nodded silently, and didn't force Brother Cheng to remember again.

At the beginning of February 2003, Cheng had forgotten all the future things. He is now considered to have completely integrated into this world, and officially bid farewell to the world before he traveled, and all future information is completely lost.

Luo Junyan has never inquired too much about the future, or the world really has rules, knowing too much will only alienate the world. He didn't understand Cheng's past experience, but it might not be a good thing to forget, because Lu Huaxue was still alone, and didn't mean to find another man for dating.

Brother Cheng, who is in his 60s, can sprout old trees and bloom new flowers. Who can say about love? Luo Junyan is happy to see it happen. Brother Cheng is too lonely. In essence, Brother Cheng is an honest person with a cheap mouth, or his life should be more fulfilled.

The virus crisis broke out as scheduled. The trust fund of the Luo Junyan Educational Charity Foundation has already reduced its holdings in advance. Several major listed Internet technology companies in the Mainland all hold shares in the trust fund. Now the wealth of charitable foundations is no longer the same.

Half of the large sums of funds obtained from the reduction of holdings were donated to primary and secondary schools in areas with backward medical conditions for the prevention and treatment of children’s diseases. The total one-time donation exceeds 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Luo Junyan became one of the most well-known big philanthropists among the Hong Kong compatriots and won countless praises from the mainland media. He became a model of the Chinese-German art double-hearted star of Xiangjiang film and television. He truly stood in the spotlight as a tycoon.

In fact, it is not how much you donate, but how much you donate selflessly. Luo Junyan has never made a cent in the mainland, and the screening rights including "Sweet Honey" are sold at a loss, which is unique in Hong Kong.

At this moment, Luo Junyan is hiding in the manor with his family, including the old sister's family and the homeless like Cheng and Hu Xin, as well as those who are unwilling to go home like Xi's and Lu Huaxue, all have moved in. "The Royal Garden" villa.

Now Luo Junyan cherishes the people around him very much. I just sent off Brother Rong in April. Now Amei is suffering from a serious illness. Luo Junyan persuaded her to undergo chemotherapy, but Mei Yanfang was unmoved.

No matter how brilliant you are like fireworks, your brilliance is exhausted, and you will finally pass by in a hurry, why do you keep your name behind?

In June, the Mainland and Hong Kong signed the cepa agreement, which is to ensure the normal development of Hong Kong's economy. Among them, special policies are also given to the film and television industry. The co-production of films between the two places is allowed to be counted as mainland production, and it is no longer regarded as foreign films. The standards for investment in mainland cinemas have also begun to open to Xiangjiang.

This is great news for Luo Junyan. The requirement for co-productions is that mainland actors need to account for one-third. If the "Construction" meets this requirement, the question of review is ignored, at least the number of screenings is not limited, and the box office division is no longer a sub-ledger 13 The% standard must be determined in accordance with market rules.

"Hero" also has a good box office in North America. More Asian faces may not be able to win the North American market. It depends mainly on the subject matter and quality of the film. As for whether to use a large number of mainland actors? This still requires Luo Junyan to consider carefully, first of all to determine which market is his main battlefield.

In the second half of the year, the epidemic that ravaged Asia was finally suppressed, and the haze of panic was about to dissipate.

Mei is planning to hold a concert. Luo Junyan regards this as the most absurd decision. Now that he is not getting medical treatment and recuperation, what **** concert is going to be held? This time he even took out the majesty of his brother and ordered his god-sister not to think wildly and concentrate on recovering from the illness.

As a result, the concert was not only confirmed, but also funded by Luo Junyan. Because Amei regards this concert as her last wish and the last birthday gift Luo Junyan gave her.

Can Luo Junyan refuse? Thinking back to the various things over the past ten years, life is truly dreamlike, and stick to that attachment in your heart, or it is the true meaning of being in the world.

Between complexity and simplicity, people's pursuits are constantly changing, but in the final moment, the complexity is finally reduced to simplicity, and the original aspiration is restored.

After Luo Junyan's quiet contemplation, he decided not to play the leading actor in "Construction", and concentrate on being a director, giving the role to a more suitable actor. At the age of 40, playing a 20-year-old role, and at the same time unable to concentrate on directing the film, Luo Junyan felt that the planning of the matter was complicated, no matter what the result was, this had already deviated from his original intention.

The best actor, the finest production, a classic hit movie that few people criticize, that's all. Putting aside many goals, in the end there is only the word box office, which belongs to Luo Junyan's pursuit.

Now that the choice has been made, the North American market will become the main battlefield, and there is no need to consider the issue of co-production.

In October, after Anita Mui's concert, the preparatory work for "Construction" was restarted.

In this concert, Luo Junyan did not take the stage as a guest, and stood silently under the stage the whole time. The farewell words have already been said in my heart, and nothing more seems to be unnecessary, and quiet listening is enough.

In the process of selecting actors, South Korean star Sun Yejin was invited to play the leading role of Liusha, a goddess officer of the Dragon Palace who coexists with wisdom and beauty. This role was originally meant to be reserved for sister army, but now there is a better choice. After all, filming is too hard, and Luo Junyan is reluctant to let his wife go into battle.

Qixi Raulz recommended Hollywood actors to Luo Junyan in the United States, which was agreed upon by the two at the beginning.

Of course, this Hollywood quasi-first-line star has also found a role, and it is an extremely important role. The Schumpeter family sent to hunt down the actor's lion and scorpion beauty Sinclair. She will show up at the end of the first part, but in the second part, she will be the absolute No. 1 villain.

The luckiest of all actors is undoubtedly the Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu. He didn't make his debut in the film industry for a long time, and his age was a bit too old, but he has learned martial arts since he was a child, and his appearance is more three-dimensional.

Luo Junyan finally chose Daniel Wu to play the leading actor Richard Archimonde, a saint-constructor with both the blood of elves and demons.

In short, it took more than three months to select actors this time, and the actors who were finally invited to appear were all over the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and the United States. When the crew gathers together, it's really a gorgeous lineup. And Luo Junyan will also play a supporting role in the film, the Archimonde family's first construct knight Mordred.

The film has been delayed for a year, the costumes and props have been more complete, the Busan studio has been fully formed, and the location of the inland locations has also been finalized. In terms of scripts and special effects, it has been discussed countless times, and the production ideas are completely clear and clear.

"Construction: Seed of Destruction and War" is about to start, the bet is placed, the buy is left.
