Chapter 573： Hong Kong government boss

In contrast, take a look at the mainland movie "Hero", which was released at the same time as "Infernal Affairs."

In the Hong Kong government area, "Hero" grossed $3 million, $2 million less than "Infernal Affairs."

But what about overseas markets?

Completely different!

$9 million in Korea, $31 million in Japan, $5 million in the UK, $4 million in France, $3 million in Australia, $4.2 million in Italy…

Such box office receipts are comparable to Hollywood blockbusters.

That's just part of the story, and as "Hero" rises to fame during Hollywood awards season, the film's global box office is bound to rise even further.

"Infernal Affairs" was cold, but "Heroes" rose strongly.

This seems to be an important turning point in an era.

Will Hong Kong films that dominated Asia and went global back then really have to be completely surpassed by mainland films?

Boss Lin is a big boss with a high vision. In addition to making money, the development of the entertainment industry in the Hong Kong government is also what he pays attention to.

He gave Dunn the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" for free, just to hear what the world's No. 1 filmmaker has to say about the current Hong Kong government's film landscape and the future of Hong Kong films.

Tang En said lightly: "There is only one road left for Hong Kong films."

"What way?" Boss Lin asked.

Tang En pointed to the north, "Put down the pride of the Hong Kong government and throw yourself into the embrace of the mainland!"

On the left and right, Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, who were snuggling in Tang En's arms, both showed surprised expressions.

Boss Lin frowned, "Mr. Walker, you may not know much about it. The censorship system over there... is very troublesome. The film "Infernal Affairs" has been in communication with there for more than half a year, and it has not been released yet."

"Oh?"

"They asked to change the ending of the movie, they didn't allow the criminal to be the final winner of the movie."

Tang En said casually, "Then change it."

Boss Lin said: "But the film's producer and director firmly disagree with the revision. This is distorted art, and it is... blasphemy against the film."

Tang En said in a cold voice: "There is no artistry in the first place, a commercial entertainment film, what is blasphemy? If they really understand the art of film, they would have sold films to Europe like Wang Jiawei! They want to make money, and they want to To be an uncle, is this possible? Hmph, this kind of arrogant and arrogant mentality of Hong Kong government filmmakers will pay a painful price sooner or later, and Hong Kong films deserve to fall!"

"Isn't it?"

Boss Lin's expression changed slightly.

Tang En had little interest and didn't want to talk more, and said lightly: "Boss Lin, I thank you for giving me the right to adapt, but that's all you have to say, you can do it yourself. If Hong Kong films want to survive, they must cater to This is the only chance for mainland officials, to please mainland fans, and to pursue the mainland market.”

Boss Lin sighed, "Mr. Walker, thank you for your advice, I will consider your suggestion."

Tang En nodded, then hugged the left and right girls tightly into his arms, and said calmly, "Boss Lin, I want to bring them back to the hotel tonight, can you make arrangements?"

Miss Zhong and Miss Cai both changed their expressions.

Boss Lin laughed a few times, "Brother Walker, he is indeed full of energy, young and energetic, haha!"

After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

Next, he spoke Cantonese.

Dunn didn't quite understand.

I could vaguely hear that the opposite seemed to be Boss Yang from Emperor Entertainment.

Then, Miss Zhong and Miss Cai had a phone conversation with that Boss Yang, respectively.

At this time, Tang En had already pulled Aoi Yu and was about to leave.

"Dad, do you want these two girls to accompany you at night?" Aoi Yu put his feet up and whispered to Tang En.

Tang En smiled and said, "Smart, you can see it all?"

Aoi Yu wrinkled his nose, "But you've only known each other for an hour, is that okay?"

Tang En lowered his voice, "What should we do? We can't let Xiaoyou come to accompany the bed, right?"

Aoi Yu blushed, stomped his feet, and said angrily, "Dad, what are you talking about, Xiaoyou doesn't understand."

"You'll understand when you grow up."

"Dad, you are bad."

Aoi Yu's face turned even redder, his eyes dodged, shy and pleasant.

After a while, Boss Lin's hearty voice came from behind him, "Brother, I have already booked a room at the Peninsula Hotel and asked them to accompany you, hehe."

I saw Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, who had put on caps, sunglasses and masks, and walked towards Tang En, their voices muffled through the masks, "Mr. Walker, Boss Lin and our Boss Yang, let our sisters today Chat with you tonight."

"Really? Thank you very much then."

Tang En was not polite. He held Aoi Yu's small hand in his left hand, and the slender waist of Miss Zhong or Miss Cai on the right, and strode away.

...

Crazy overnight.

In this life, Tang En was able to get what he wished for the blessings he had never enjoyed in his previous life.

Early the next morning, Tang En got up from Wenrou Township and saw Yu Aoi in the living room.

"Good morning, Dad."

"Well, woke up so early?"

"Can't sleep."

Tang En's expression was a little weird. He walked over, sat beside her, and put his arms around her waist.

"Dad~~"

Aoi Yu moved a few times, but he couldn't break free, and his face was red.

Tang En lowered his voice and smiled badly, "Did you hear something that shouldn't be heard last night?"

Aoi Yu said coyly, "No...no..."

"Really not?"

"Not really."

Aoi Yu's face was flushed, and water was dripping.

She felt very strange.

This is obviously the presidential suite. The president and his wife are lying far apart. How could I hear such a loud noise last night?

So much so that she spent the whole night coy and cranky.

How did she know that Dunn last night was too busy.

The door of the president's bedroom was left wide open. Later, he took two sisters and ran into the living room for a while, and even went to the door of the wife's bedroom, and spent ten minutes.

In this case, it's no wonder that Aoi Yu can't hear the sound!

Tang En secretly laughed and wanted to tease her for a while. This innocent and lovely girl blushed when she was teased, which was very interesting.

At this time, Miss Zhong's fluffy hair opened the door of the president's bed. She was wearing ragged pajamas, and she could even see that she was wearing nothing inside. At first glance, she was tired all night, and said sleepily: "Boss, our boss Yang said, Come visit you in 40 minutes."

"Boss Yang? Good."

Dunn nodded.

Another Hong Kong government boss.

...

When Boss Yang arrived, Aoi Yu was helping Tang En tie a tie.

Tang En greeted him enthusiastically and expressed his gratitude to him for the careful arrangement last night. He was very satisfied!

Boss Yang is more cheerful than Boss Lin, and in front of Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, he smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Walker is a man among men. From the looks of the two of them, I know that you have worked hard this night."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Dunn laughed a few times.

Immediately afterwards, we started talking about business affairs, which was similar to what Tang En expected. Boss Yang also came to learn from the experience, and consulted Tang En, the entertainment god, about the future direction of the Hong Kong government's entertainment business.

Tang En had a great time last night. As a reward, he had to give some pointers to let him develop his entertainment career to the mainland.

Boss Yang is indeed more confident than Boss Lin, and he knows the entertainment industry better. He immediately made a statement, saying that he would go north immediately and set up a branch, especially the popular idol group Miss Zhong and Miss Cai. To the mainland market!

After talking about work, Boss Yang was in a good mood. He looked at Yu Aoi and asked with a smile, "Is this girl Japanese?"

Tang En didn't hide it, and put his hand on Yu Aoi's shoulder, "Well, my daughter."

"Daughter?" Boss Yang gave a slight pause, gave a thumbs up, and said meaningfully, "Good luck!"

The two looked at each other and laughed wickedly for a while.

Boss Yang's reputation in the Hong Kong government is not much different from Dunn's reputation in Hollywood.

Personal style, there are similarities in the same way.

Then, Dunn explained to him in detail what the "daddy's life" in Japan was all about.

Boss Yang listened and nodded again and again, "Well, which country is the same, right? Just like the sugar_daddy in the United States, the Hong Kong government also has a similar godfather culture."

"Godfather culture?"

Dunn is very interested.

Boss Yang explained slowly: "Decades ago, the Hong Kong government's black... Anyway, it was quite chaotic, and it was difficult to guarantee the personal safety of film and television stars. Therefore, some bigwigs in the industry came forward and took these stars back as godsons, Being a goddaughter is equivalent to protecting them in disguise. Today's world-renowned Jack Chen, Jet Li, Mary Zhang are all here."

Tang En was a little strange, "How did I hear...Ahem, you know, I speak Mandarin very well, so I have some understanding of the culture here. I heard that 'god daddy' means similar to sugar_daddy in the United States? "

Boss Yang waved his hand and shook his head: "It's two different things, a godfather is to provide protection and support for his children! Of course, just like the Japanese/Japanese 'dad life', in the process of dating, there will inevitably be some outrageous relationships between men and women. , but this is only a minority. What you mean is a phenomenon that has only become popular in recent years."

"Oh?"

"The entertainment industry in the mainland has always been studying in the Hong Kong government, and there is no real bigwig with status to be a godfather. As a result, they learned something different. In addition, some wealthy businessmen from Macau, Taiwan and Hong Kong like to go to the mainland to play actresses and godfathers. The image has changed. This kind of godfather culture has become a transaction in which the daughter provides the body and the godfather provides financial resources."

Boss Yang sighed, as if he was very annoyed at those **** who corrupted the "godfather" culture.

Tang En laughed and said in a low voice, "Boss Yang, you don't have a few goddaughters?"

Boss Yang laughed a few times, didn't say the answer, instead gave Tang En a meaningful look, "Mr. Walker, since you have a Japanese/Japanese actress as a daughter, are you interested in accepting two goddaughters from the Hong Kong government? "

Tang En's heart was hot, and he pretended to hesitate, "This..."

Boss Yang understood immediately, and waved his hand, "How about Xiao Zhong and Xiao Cai?"

"The two of them?"

Dunn's complexion changed.

Miss Zhong and Miss Cai received Boss Yang's eyes, and they reacted immediately, shouting in unison, "Godfather!"

Tang En almost spat out, and waved his hands again and again, "Stop, stop, stop!"
