Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

After finishing breakfast, I adjusted the peach that Azhen was rubbing against, and Zhang Min's big red lips that were looking for something to eat.

Zhao Donghuai was considering whether to have a morning exercise session before starting a new day's work.

Two seconds later.

Director Zhao chose to exercise for two hours in the morning. After all, life lies in exercise. He is so rich and powerful and cannot starve his two secretaries.

That’s so inhumane!

…………

At around ten o'clock in the morning, when Zhao Donghuai started his formal work, he arrived at the office and received a report from the serious secretary that Fatty Jing, Du Qifeng and Xu Ke, who had returned to Hong Kong for a few days, were here.

These three directors have just started doing post-production work on (Cat and Mouse Game) after getting back from jet lag, so they probably came here to report something.

After Du Qifeng and the others came in to say hello, as soon as they sat down, Zhao Donghuai smiled and asked his normal secretary to give out a few red envelopes.

"Although the movie hasn't been released yet, the box office shouldn't be too bad. Die Hard and Dragon King took in US$11 million in its two-day opening weekend. Certain things can still be hyped up."

Before filming started, he had already given the three directors their respective remunerations. Afterwards, each of them received a huge red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars, which was considered a piece of cake.

After all, (Cat and Mouse Game) is a big project that became popular before it was launched.

Fatty Jing and the others stood up immediately, and Wang Jing even smiled brightly, "No, Zhao Sheng, you really don't need it. You asked us to make such a good movie because you think highly of us. You really don't need the red envelope."

Xu Ke and Du Qifeng were also polite and excused themselves.

Zhao Donghuai glanced at the three of them suspiciously, especially Fatty Jing. Do you think you have too much money? This is obviously unscientific.

After waving his hand for the normal secretary to put away the check, he complained, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Wang Jingcan smiled, "Zhao Sheng, we had a chat and planned to take out a loan together. If we want to invest more, just the same 20 times leverage is enough."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Okay, it's a little late to start again, but it's not bad."

Since January 1st, such great directors like Konomi, of course, have made money with the full amount including the mortgaged house.

So far, this is June 16, and the Japanese yen has appreciated by about 20% in total. Fatty Jing originally mortgaged his house and took out a bank loan, took all his original capital, invested more than 10 million, and earned 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

After all, this was Wang Jing in 1986. He had not been able to make a lot of money by bringing goods before. His total net worth was more than 10 million at the beginning, which was a lot.

To put it bluntly, in addition to helping Zhao Donghuai make movies and making a lot of money, he used to help Shaw Brothers write scripts and make movies. How much director's salary can he get? ?

Starting from films such as "Senior Sister Tuoqiang" and "Chasing Girls in Hardcover", after each film became a hit at the box office, Zhao Donghuai received more red envelopes afterwards than he earned from filming multiple Shaw Brothers films.

What's more, is the red envelope an income other than the director's salary?

What about Du Qifeng and Xu Ke? Du Qifeng is not much better than Wang Jing.

Xu Ke is the strongest. Since he opened a subsidiary of Zhao's Pictures, he has produced blockbuster movies such as the Chinese Ghost Story series, which sold out for more than 20 million yuan in other places. His subsidiary company can get more than 10 million yuan. Share on sale.

A Chinese Ghost Story trilogy was sold out in other parts of Asia except the mainland, and Xu earned more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong box office can at least recoup the initial investment and make a slight profit. The video revenue of the trilogy has accumulated over 10 million yuan over time.

After all, that was the total tape earnings of the trilogy.

And you must know that even the third part of A Chinese Story, starring Xing Zai and Zhang Xueyou, was released on November 12, 1985.

In January, Xu Ke invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange speculation. So far, the value has increased by 20% with 20 times leverage? ? The gross profit that Lao Xu made in the foreign exchange market was 200 million Hong Kong dollars!

If settled now, Lao Xu will immediately be promoted to a billionaire, and he will also be a great director with a cash flow of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in principal plus profits.

Thinking of this, Zhao Donghuai asked curiously, "You guys have saved some pocket money by relying on the remuneration from filming (Home Alone) (Cat and Mouse Game), so as not to be strapped for money. Where are you going to borrow money from??"

Wang Jing smiled wildly, "It was Zhao Sheng, Brother Long, and Brother Sanmao who bought the Wanjia Building to mortgage the director's salary, which allowed us to see a new way of playing."

"If I can mortgage my salary to make more money now, I will really be able to have wealth and freedom in the future. Even if I am reduced to a film arrangement machine like Chu Yuan and work as a tool for a few years, I still have to seize the opportunity to make a fortune thrown by you, Zhao Sheng."

Xu Ke also said excitedly, "Yes, Zhao Sheng, I still have a big Shushan plan in my mind. If I make more money now, I can also spend a lot of money on special effects like (Super Body) and (The Love of Humans and Ghosts) in the future." , burning money on the Shushan project!"

As we all know, Xu Ke has a strong attachment to Shushan.

In 1983, I invested 30 million Hong Kong dollars to make a film (New Shushan Swordsman). The box office in Hong Kong was 1.59 million... That was 30 million Hong Kong dollars in 1983.

You must know that Zhao Donghuai originally had a total budget of HK$5 million to prepare for the filming of "New World 1", but countless colleagues complained that he was too arrogant.

Many people doubt whether (New World) will be able to make back its money after it is released.

In the same year, Xu Laoguai made a 30 million Hong Kong dollar big production (Xin Shushan). Play with big production and make big special effects movies.

Forget it, in 2000 Xu Keyuan also took nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars in production fees from Xiang Laoshi, and spent money to hire a Hollywood team to come to Hong Kong to support his own new visual studio in special effects.

I spent 40 million Hong Kong dollars on it, worked on special effects for almost a year, and filmed a film (The Legend of Shushan). The box office hit the streets again, with 11 million in Hong Kong and 20 million in the mainland.

But there is one thing to say: The Legend of Shushan, which was filmed in 2000, was profitable. First of all, the rights sold in North America were recouped. Secondly, the box office in the mainland was low, which was related to the show. For example, the mainland was released on August 17, but the original VCD disc , it has logged into the market one week in advance on August 10.

Because the publisher believes that it will be fully released in Hong Kong on August 9th, if the genuine VCD discs are not released in advance, they will be pirated and steal the money.

Genuine discs can be logged in a week in advance, not to mention how pirated versions can capture the market.

Since piracy is rampant a week before release, it is normal for the box office to be low.

For the version released in 2001, let’s put aside the story logic and the like and just talk about the special effects. The special effects of that movie were actually pretty good. They actually spent millions of dollars to make them, and Xu Ke’s own studio in Hong Kong did it. Please Click on foreign aid.

A comparison of special effects costs is done directly in Hollywood, which is much cheaper.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I support you to do it well."

When he looked at Johnnie To, Sir Du smiled happily, "Boss, I think the script with Hutchison selecting the narrator as the main line is almost complete. I plan to start filming after a week or two of rest."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

After filming New World 2 in February 1984, he wanted to hold back his own community film, but he held it in for four or five months without any clue.

After filming New World 3 in September 1984, he came up with the idea of ​​making a community film with Hutchison's chosen narrator as the main line, but at that time it was an inspiration, but the story was not yet concrete and complete.

This is already the summer of 1986? !

He was speechless for a few seconds and asked curiously, "Have you brought the script?"

Du Qifeng quickly took out the script from his briefcase and gave it in multiple copies, not only to Zhao Donghuai, but also to Wang Jing and Xu Ke.

After several people looked through it one by one, Zhao Donghuai put down the notebook after more than ten minutes and said, "Okay, yes, this has the potential to become a classic."

More than ten years in advance, the story trajectory of the first part of the two-part series (Underworld) is almost 90% similar to the original version.

Big D and A Le are running for spokesperson. Dumbledore balances the left and right but does not support Big D. A leading stick has caused a bloody storm.

The biggest difference from the original version is the puppet faucet that plays chicken. When the faucet stick was hidden, the faucet stick was not returned to the mainland, but placed in Haojiang. The setting of Dongguan Zai is no longer Dongguan Zai. But Ma Jiaozi.

Haojiang is also called Majiao.

Big D once again died inhumanely under the shadow of Le Ge's "fishing without a helmet"!

With emotion, he smiled and said, "This is a good book. Who do you want to play?"

Johnnie To is familiar with his family treasures, "I wanted to cast the role of Uncle Deng, Hutchison's eldest uncle. Big D approached Tony Leung Ka-fai and Ah Lok to choose Lu Liangwei. After Ah Wei played the role of a lame man, his acting skills have obviously improved to a higher level."

"Zhan Mi, I want to choose Li Ming, the plane chooses Guan Lijie, the master Su wants Aaron Kwok, the Ma Jiao Tsai chooses Zheng Yi Jian... the big head chooses Zheng Zeshi."

"Although F4's acting skills are still far behind if they are to be used on the big screen, but with me and a group of actor-level candidate actors, as long as they are willing to learn, they are not afraid of hardship."

What a great guy!

Le Shao’s five godsons chose F4 plus Zheng Zeshi? ?

Wang Jing answered, and the guy's smiling face and body shook together, "Those guys still have pursuits. When I wanted to make a new idol drama, didn't I just add a vicious stepmother and step sisters? One competes with the other and avoids Ru Ru. Snakes and scorpions.”

"Had it not been for ATV's great reputation and the fact that I roped in Ah Rong to star in it, that idol drama would have been difficult to reach its current heights."

Of course, Fatty Jing was happy. Although the 1 million red envelope given by Zhao Sheng was a big deal, but faced with the super-wealthy way of riding the Plaza Accord, he still had to mortgage his film salary and borrow money to increase investment in order to make even more huge profits.

Have you ever seen an old man named Xu earn 200 million Hong Kong dollars? ?

When the daily yen foreign exchange investment was completed, he would have the capital to follow the example of Xu Ke, Hong Yinbao, Lin Zhengying and others, and open a subsidiary company under the Zhao family to make money.

Zhao Donghuai also smiled, "Okay, that's it. By the way, I still have a notebook here. Once it's taken, it can win the Cannes Palme d'Or, the Berlin Golden Bear, or the Oscars like (Juno)." Who of you is coming?"

The three directors all stared at each other. After looking at each other, it was Xu Ke who said, "Let me do it. I feel that I am stronger than the two of them for the time being."

Du Qifeng rolled his eyes wildly, thought for a while and shook his head, "I want to prepare for the underworld with all my strength. This is my obsession."

Anyway, here in Zhao Donghuai, there will be no shortage of such opportunities.

It doesn’t matter if I missed it this time, I’ll wait patiently in the future.

Even if it is "Underworld", it may not have a chance to win the Hong Kong Film Awards in the future, or even the three major European film festival awards.

This is indeed the case. The original version of Underworld 1, not to mention how many Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards it won, it was also nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or for Best Film!

If he didn't win the Palme d'Or, it can only be said that Sir Du's bid for the award was still lacking in operation.

Fatty was delighted, "Zhao Sheng, I feel that Old Xu is slandering me..."

Zhao Donghuai didn't mind, and took out two scripts (Good Will Hunting) and handed them to the two of them. These scripts had already been given to Chen Hong, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhang Min and Gong Li respectively, and were distributed more than a week ago.

The famous school set was naturally the University of Hong Kong, and he was just waiting for the director.

Zhang Yimou, Huang Jianxin and others can also film, but those two have already won the Palme d'Or and the Best Director Award. Now it is Lao Xu and Wang Jing's turn to win the honor.

After talking about business, Zhao Donghuai set off for the (Never Compromise) crew.

This is not a waste, there are Chen Musheng and Chen Xunqi as assistant directors, there is also a complete scene script, and the actors are all big names. When he is not around, it is a trivial matter for the assistant directors to shoot unimportant scenes.

There is no crew with big special effects or big action scenes.

After filming for more than a month, Never Compromise is almost finished!

……………………

A few days flew by.

By late June, Chen Hong's new masterpiece (My Sassy Girl) had been in theaters in Hong Kong for more than 3 weeks, grossing more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

"Wanwan" was released for more than two weeks, with a box office of 80 million new dollars, which is equivalent to more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. Even in the island country, her looks that instantly surpass the oriental aesthetics also made more than 200 million yen at the box office.

It’s really good for a tragicomedy love movie that purely uses female stars as its selling point to achieve such results. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Cheng Long’s Who Am I, Double Dragon Club, City Hunter, etc., including Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie’s Ghost Horse With two stars, etc., the entire film will be able to sell a box office of 5.6 billion yen.

In Asia, Ah Hong started her career with a blockbuster film.

Zhao Donghuai handed over the filming tasks for the new day to two assistant directors. When he saw Zhong Jinghui and Vice Principal He sitting in the office, the two took out a large pile of files.

"Boss, there are too many people coming for the new Asian Opera recruitment period..."

"We have selected some student files, would you like to take a look first? By the way, there are also some European and American directors, famous stars, who are also willing to come to the school as guest acting professors and become honorary professors."

"This information has been screened for several rounds."

Zhao Donghuai looked at the two large piles of files tens of centimeters high on the table? ? I'm also a little speechless. This has been through multiple rounds of screening? ?

The enrollment plan for this new year is very good.

After signaling that they understood, the two principals stepped away. Azhen and Zhang Min quickly ran to see what was going on. After a few people unpacked the pile of information files, Qiu Shuzhen grabbed a file and exclaimed, "Pfft, Al ·Pacino? Really or fake? Isn’t that starring the Godfather of Hollywood?”

"Why would he be willing to come here and become an honorary professor? Teach acting?"

Zhao Donghuai waved, and Azhen also handed over the file and exclaimed again, "Good guy, is this godfather very idle? Isn't he a Hollywood superstar?"

That's right, Al Pacino is now 46 years old. He has already won an Oscar nomination for actor for his wonderful performance in 1974's North America (Conflict), and an Oscar nomination for actor in 1975 (The Godfather Part II).

Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 1976 ("Hot Afternoon"), and nominated for an Oscar for "Justice" in 1980.

Four Oscar nominations! !

There are even more Golden Globe Best Actor nominations!

Such a person came to (Asian Theater Academy) and is currently a professor of acting classes at Asia Theater, which is a community school? Is he so free? ?

Zhao Donghuai was also speechless, but after reading Al Pacino's information, he also recalled one thing, that is, in 1985, Al Pacino starred in a war movie that cost 28 million US dollars to produce. , as a result, the film did not even make 1 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America.

This actor-level player was deeply affected and stayed away from his original career for four years.

This kind of decline is not because he messed up one movie and no one in Hollywood asked him to film. You must know that his last movie (Scarface) grossed nearly 500 million US dollars at the global box office.

He was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor (Scarface).

Of course, (Scarface) has achieved both fame and fortune. In terms of reputation, Al also has a mixed reputation. What ruined him was the media propaganda. He played a gangster-like figure in an exaggerated way, and it was easy to teach children bad things.

It is said that nothing he shoots can break away from the inherent impression of Godfather and gangster movies. It is similar to the fact that after Chow Yun-fat made Shanghai Bund, he first came into contact with the film and television industry for many years and couldn't break out of the image of Xu Wenqiang.

Of course, if you compare Al Pacino with Al Pacino after going to the beach, it is indeed a comparison. This just means that the two are similar in nature.

Previous films such as Scarface had mixed reviews, and in 1985, a new film that cost only a few hundred thousand dollars at the box office with an investment of US$28 million was so popular that Al only took the initiative to stop acting.

The failure of one movie was not enough to stop the confidence of several major Hollywood companies in Al. Some groups continued to pay him to film movies, but the film contracts they gave were generally gangster-type.

If he acts, the box office will not be bad...

But Al Pacino began to have doubts about his performance, ran back to stage plays, and began to rethink and analyze his acting style.

At this stage, Alting was nothing, but since he was interested in coming to Asia Opera to be a performance instructor, Zhao Donghuai naturally welcomed him.

Putting down the file, Zhao Donghuai just started to look at the information in front of him, and was slightly surprised. Jennifer Aniston, isn't this the North American sweetheart in the simulator who has been influenced by his love in body and mind?

17-year-old Jennifer wants to come to Asia Theater to study? According to the other party's information, she entered the Rudolf Steiner School of Drama in New York at the age of 6 and started studying. Now in the summer of 1986, Jennifer is still studying and studying at a drama school in New York.

This is a veteran experience after studying acting for 11 years!

Then 12-year-old Chen Derong couldn't help but recall when he saw this little girl, "You just lost a leg, but she lost love"...

This Ah Rong is young and can only be considered as a child star, but she has already made her debut and started working as an advertising model in 1983.

The next one is from Shanghai, Lu Yi? ? 10 years old, ready to be a child star? ? According to the information, he is the backbone of kindergarten literature and art, the kind who beats up children randomly, and started acting in movies at the age of 5.

Next up is Xu Zheng, a 14-year-old junior high school student in Shanghai. Information shows that he skips school every day and goes to the Shanghai People's Art Theater next door to watch movies. He is also familiar with it and can get a chance to perform with the crew.

Suddenly, a crowd of primary school and middle school students appeared, speechless. However, this should be the butterfly effect caused by the news of "Home Alone" spreading out, even though "Home Alone" has not been released yet.

But that was a blockbuster co-directed by several directors. Aren’t Cai Shaofen and Cameron Diaz both child stars? ?

I passed this Zhao Donghuai and saw the next one, Fei Xiang... These are all the same! Fei Xiang is already a big star. The album (Songs Across the Four Seas) released in early 1986 has sold millions of copies so far!

Without cheating, albums by Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin and others rarely sell millions of copies!

But at this moment, in the letter of recommendation, Fei Xiang really wants to be admitted to the Asia Theater Academy to study acting, which is off the mark!

If I remember correctly, during the Spring Festival Gala this winter, Fei Xiang went to the Mainland and became the first Wanwan singer to take the stage. He directly became popular in the streets and alleys of the Mainland with "Clouds in Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter".

He has become the idol of the times for countless people born in the 1960s and 1970s!

Then he was banned by Wanwan for 14 years.

Originally, his record company had already prepared the next big album for him, but it was gone because he was banned...

This is speechless!

But the information prepared by Fei Xiang shows that he was admitted to the Department of Medicine at Stanford University in North America at the age of 18? That's right, this is a top student from Stanford, studying medicine!

After studying medicine for a year, he found that he didn't like being a doctor and liked acting, so he studied at the Stanford School of Drama in his sophomore and junior years.

After studying formal acting for two years, I have already participated in four films in Wanwan, including last year with Zhong Yanhong, and three years ago with Zheng Shaoqiu, that Qiu Guan.

In the summer of 1986, he was the most powerful male idol in the province, top-notch!

How dare someone like you come to join Yaxi, a community school, as a freshman? ?

He is developing step by step and will become famous in the Mainland during the Spring Festival Gala a few months later. It is estimated that the Spring Festival Gala preparation team has not started yet and has not sent him an invitation.

And this 26-year-old Brother Fei is indeed one of the role models for veteran artists in terms of his acting reputation and so on.

When he went to the Spring Festival Gala, Wan regarded it as a betrayal. After receiving the invitation, countless people around him objected and refused to let him go, so he insisted on going.

Then he was banned for more than ten years. After he became famous in the 1987 Spring Festival Gala in the mainland, he held dozens of concert tours across the mainland three years later. All the money he earned was donated to the 1990 Asian Games in Beijing.

In 1991, Mainland China bid for the Olympic Games and donated money.

During subsequent floods, floods, snow disasters, etc., his donations were rarely absent.

Three years later, after holding dozens of concerts, he went to New York to engage in stage plays and musicals.

Director Zhao was still recalling Fei Xiang's various situations when he saw Zhang Min holding up a file and saying, "Boss, this Hollywood screenwriter is quite powerful. He has already been nominated for two Oscars for Best Screenplay."

"I have won two Emmy Awards, been nominated once, and have directed three movies... Are you willing to be an acting professor? Or teach directing and screenwriting classes?"

Zhao Donghuai took advantage of the situation and found that Barry Levinson's 1987 film Good Morning Vietnam grossed US$120 million at the box office in North America.

Directed in 1988, "Rain Man" not only grossed US$170 million at the box office in North America, but also won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Big prize!

It also won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the 1989 Berlin International Film Festival!

This is a winning achievement!

Part One (Rain Man)…

This community college-style Asian Drama Academy already has so many followers in Hollywood? Obviously not, and you can tell with your toes that there are many white people in the film and television industry who want to get rich by speculating in Japanese yen foreign exchange!

Well, how many people can resist the temptation of getting rich? The entertainment industry is called a vanity fair. How many people don’t like fame and fortune?

The award-controlling tycoons at Cannes and the North American Academy have been dragged into the water, and the next wave will be gay sex.

Of course, you said that Al Pacino took a break from acting for four years to settle down after being hit, and he was not enthusiastic about the film contracts that were being offered by Hollywood. He didn't particularly love money?

Making money by starring in a movie is different from making a guest appearance as an acting teacher and trading Japanese yen in foreign exchange.

Fei Xiang is not a money-loving character. He probably really wants to take his acting skills to a higher level.

I just started looking at this huge pile of information, and there are a bunch of guys like this popping up? Zhao Donghuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is nothing but a good thing. It only proves that the appeal of Zhao's films to the world is still growing.

Zhao Donghuai’s personal charm is so great!

He suddenly discovered that Barry Levinson, Al Pacino and others were now asked to come to Asia Opera as acting teachers, even if they were guest appearances, they would teach acting once a month or two...

It’s enough for these two to get together and start filming (Rain Man) right away!

Rain Man, a movie about family and brotherhood, exploded at the box office, won a lot of awards, and the original director is here? Give it to him to try? ?

Rain Man was originally a Hollywood screenwriter in 1987. Based on the deeds of an autistic patient in North America, Kim Peak, he became interested and wrote the script. However, the first version of the script, including various subsequent revisions, was not very good.

It was Barry Levinson, a director who started out as a great screenwriter who was twice nominated for Best Screenplay in Hollywood, who came in to make major changes and finally revised the final script.

So for this movie, Barry is not named as the screenwriter, but his writing and directing skills are indispensable.

Al Pacino temporarily lost the confidence to make movies, and he refused to accept the scripts submitted by Hollywood majors. There were too many scripts asking him to play gangster roles, and he was unwilling to stick to the inherent role of a gangster brother. In the routine image.

He came back four years after his original trajectory, just to grind out the drama and seek a breakthrough.

If you come up with the script (Rain Man) and give him the role of the autistic super genius in the original work, he may not insist on not playing it.

The autistic super-genius character in (Rain Man) is the protagonist, and that character won the Oscar for Best Actor. If Al Pacino plays the role, it will be an award-winning masterpiece!

As for the supporting role of the younger brother in (Rain Man)? The original work was made by Tom Cruise, the popular Hollywood fried chicken who became famous with Top Gun. Now it can be handed over to Fei Xiang, right?

Fei Xiang himself is of mixed race, so just change the setting and make him a mixed-race half-brother.

Lao Fei's original intention was probably to learn acting and improve his acting skills. If he was given an opportunity to learn from Al Pacino, even if it was a supporting role, he would probably be very happy.

Do you think he can have the status of Zunlong and be able to play the role of a North American well? ?

This is really no problem. After all, he was admitted to Stanford University in 1978 and studied abroad in North America for three years.

As for the brother’s girlfriend in (Rain Man)? Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Sandra Bullock can all play the role, but let's give it to Sandra. After all, this girl has also studied for another year and has not starred in a blockbuster yet.

This class of new Asian Opera students is really full of talents!

………………

On June 25, the crew of (Never Compromise), with Zhao Donghuai's "kill", the whole crew was in a sensation and cheered.

After Isabel Adjani ran over and gave him, the director, a few deep hugs, Director Zhao watched the people behind the scenes begin to clean up and finish the scene in an orderly manner. He also picked up the phone and called the leader of Pan Asia Group in North America. One of them is Ahang.

"How is the collection of data and evidence going?"

Ah Hang immediately said, "We have collected everything. Don't worry, boss. When we need to do something, we will definitely be able to keep up."

Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and get in touch with Ms. Eileen now."

Although the post-production of the film will take several days, it can be completed within ten days. It will not be a big problem to release it in North America in early July or July 10.

What should be prepared is indeed on the agenda.

………………

What left Zhao Donghuai speechless was that two days later, on June 27, Ahang brought a report. The real-life prototype of (Never Compromise), during the first contact, did not intend to cooperate with Zhao's arrangement and sue Pacific Gas. Power Group.

Because the current one has not been divorced twice and has a child. Her second marriage is still harmonious, and it can be regarded as a newlywed and passionate period.

An ordinary little North American person, a group of Asians from the Pan-Asian Group suddenly proposed that she sue a behemoth like Pacific Gas and Electric Group?

It’s only 1986. How many little people in North America dare to stand up to the big groups? Pacific Gas and Electric at this stage is not the same as it was in the 2020s when it faced huge claims and filed for bankruptcy protection due to super wildfires in California.

That is, there are currently more than 200 million people in the United States, and on average one in 20 people needs to use gas, natural gas or electricity provided by Pacific Gas and Electric in daily life!

One of the North American energy groups!

In California? In California, it is the aggregation of Hong Kong China Power Group and Hong Kong and China Gas.

Li Zhaoji became one of the energy tycoons with the help of Hong Kong's Town and China Gas, and the Kadoorie family became the electricity boss with the help of Hong Kong's China Power Group. How can the two be combined? The power is simply amazing!

A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he said to the phone, "Since that person is not willing, why don't you find Cameron Diaz's parents and talk to them to see if they are willing?"

"I remember Diaz's mother was a small agent?"

When it comes to suing the electricity and gas giants in California, it is best for local citizens in California to do so.

In early April, he accepted $1 million from Cameron Diaz's parents who mortgaged their property, borrowed money, borrowed money from friends, and borrowed ordinary loan sharks, and invested it in speculating on the appreciation of the Japanese yen in foreign exchange.

Now on June 27, based on the ratio when they were launched, the Japanese yen has appreciated by another 6%.

The original profit of US$1 million has now become US$1.2 million.

As long as there is money to be made, it will not be difficult for Cameron Diaz and his family to immigrate to Hong Kong Island for a while afterwards. Also, there is a big gap between reality and movie development.

For example, in the movie "Never Compromise", the lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Company resulted in a compensation of US$333 million, which was basically all given to hundreds of victims in the small town.

The reality is that the prosecution obtained more than 300 million U.S. dollars in compensation, and the legal team took 40% of it... This is not a 6-6 operation, but the basic requirement for the outcome of the team of barristers.

The heroine and hero, who represents hundreds of townspeople, also received a remuneration of US$2.5 million.

Environmental protection is actually a business.
