Chapter 573 Hong Kong Government Boss

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

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

But what about overseas markets?

Totally different!

$9 million in South 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.

And that's just part of it. As "Hero" becomes famous during the Hollywood awards season, the film's global box office will surely increase further.

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

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

Are Hong Kong films, which dominated Asia and went global, really going 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 Hong Kong government's entertainment industry is also what he cares about.

He gave Tang En the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" for free, just to hear the views of this world's number one filmmaker on the current Hong Kong government's film situation and the prospects of Hong Kong films.

Tang En said lightly: "There is only one way left for Hong Kong movies."

"What way?" Boss Lin asked.

Tang En pointed to the north, "Let go of the pride of the Hong Kong government and embrace the embrace of the mainland!"

On the left and right, Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, who were nestled in Tang En's arms, showed expressions of surprise.

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 it for more than half a year, and it has not yet been released."

"oh?"

"They asked to change the ending of the movie, they didn't allow the criminal to be the 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 modification. This is distorted art and... a blasphemy against the film."

Tang En said coldly: "There is no artistry in the first place. How can a commercial entertainment film talk about blasphemy? If they really understood the art of film, they would have sold the film to Europe just like Wang Jiawei! They wanted to make money, but they also wanted to Is it possible to be an uncle? Hmph, the high-handed and supercilious mentality of Hong Kong filmmakers will sooner or later pay a heavy price, and Hong Kong films deserve it!"

"Isn't it?"

Boss Lin's face changed slightly.

Tang En had little interest and didn't want to say any more. He said flatly: "Boss Lin, I thank you for giving me the right to adapt, but that's all for now. You can do it yourself. If Hong Kong films want to survive, they must cater to the audience." This is the only opportunity for mainland officials, to please mainland movie 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 two girls on the left and right, and said calmly, "Boss Lin, I want to bring them back to the hotel tonight, can you arrange it?"

Both Miss Zhong and Miss Cai's expressions changed.

Boss Lin laughed a few times, "Brother Walker, you really are full of blood, young and vigorous, haha!"

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

Next, he spoke Cantonese.

Tang En didn't quite understand.

It can be vaguely heard that the opposite seems to be Boss Yang of Emperor Entertainment.

Then, Ms. Zhong and Ms. Cai talked with that boss Yang on the phone respectively.

At this time, Tang En had already pulled Yu Aoi, ready to leave.

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

Tang En smiled and said, "Smart, have you seen it all?"

Yu Aoi wrinkled his nose, "But you two have only known each other for an hour, is this okay?"

Tang En lowered his voice, "Then what should we do? You can't let Xiaoyou come to accompany the bed?"

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

"When you grow up, you will understand."

"Dad, you are bad."

Yu Aoi's face turned even redder, her eyes dodged, she was shy and charming.

After a while, Boss Lin's hearty voice came from behind him, "Brother, I've asked someone to book a room at the Peninsula Hotel, and asked them to accompany you there, ha ha."

I saw Ms. Zhong and Ms. Cai, already wearing peaked caps, sunglasses, and masks, walking towards Tang En, with a muffled voice through the masks, "Mr. Chat with you tonight."

"Really? Thank you very much."

Tang En was also polite, holding Yu Aoi's small hand with his left hand, and the slender waist of Miss Zhong or Miss Cai with his right hand, and strode away.

...

Crazy night.

The blessings that he never enjoyed in his previous life, in this life, Tang En has finally got his wish.

Early the next morning, Tang En woke up from the gentle village, and saw Yu Aoi in the living room.

"Good morning, Dad."

"Well, you woke up so early?"

"Can't sleep."

Tang En had a strange expression on his face. He walked over, sat beside her, and put his arms around her waist unceremoniously.

"Dad~~"

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

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

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

"Really?"

"No."

Yu Aoi's face was so red that water dripped out.

She felt very strange.

This is obviously the presidential suite. The president's bedroom and his wife's bedroom are far apart. How could there be such a loud noise last night?

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

How did she know that Tang En was very busy last night.

The door of the President's bedroom was wide open, and then he took the two girls and ran around in the living room for a while, and even ran to the door of the wife's bedroom, and went crazy for ten minutes.

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

Tang En secretly laughed, and wanted to tease her for a while longer. This pure and lovely girl blushed every time she teased her, which was very funny.

At this time, Ms. Zhong opened the door of the presidential bedroom with fluffy hair. She was wearing disheveled pajamas and could even see that she was not wearing anything inside. She looked sleepy and said, "Boss, our boss Yang said, Come visit you in 40 minutes."

"Boss Yang? Good."

Tang En nodded.

Another big boss of the Hong Kong government.

...

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

Tang En greeted him very warmly, and said to him, thank you for the careful arrangement last night, he is very satisfied!

Boss Yang was sharper than Boss Lin. In front of Ms. Zhong and Ms. Cai, he smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Walker is a man among men. Looking at their expressions, I know that I have worked hard all night."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Tang En laughed out loud.

Immediately afterwards, the business was discussed, which was similar to Tang En's expectations. Boss Yang also came here to learn from Tang En, a great entertainment industry god, about the future direction of the Hong Kong government's entertainment industry.

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

As expected, Boss Yang has more confidence than Boss Lin, and also knows more about the entertainment industry. He immediately made a statement, saying that he would go north immediately and set up a branch company, especially focusing on the popular idol combination of Miss Zhong and Miss Cai, Push 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 anything, and put his hand on Yu Aoi's shoulder, "Well, my daughter."

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

The two looked at each other, then smiled evilly for a while.

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

Personal style, there are similarities but the same effect.

Then, Tang En explained to him in detail what the "Daddy's Life" in Japan was all about.

Boss Yang nodded after hearing this, "Well, it's the same in any country, right? Just like the United States has Sugar_Daddy, the Hong Kong government also has a similar sugar daddy culture."

"Godfather culture?"

Tang En was very interested.

Boss Yang slowly explained: "Decades ago, the Hong Kong government's underworld...was quite chaotic anyway, and it was difficult to guarantee the personal safety of film and television stars. So some industry leaders came forward to take these stars back as godsons, Being a daughter is equivalent to protecting them in disguise. Today's world-renowned Jack Chen, Jeter Lee, and Mary Zhang all came here."

Tang En was a little strange, "How did I hear... cough cough, you know, my Mandarin is very good, so I also understand the culture here. I heard that the meaning of 'godfather' is similar to the American Sugar_Daddy? "

Boss Yang waved his hands, shook his head and said, "It's two different things. A godfather is to provide protection and support for his children! Of course, just like Japan's 'father's life', in the process of communication, it is inevitable that there will be some outrageous relationships between men and women. But this is only a minority. The meaning you mentioned is a phenomenon that has only become popular in recent years."

"oh?"

"The entertainment industry in mainland China has always been learning from the Hong Kong government, and there is no real bigwig to be a godfather, so they learned something different. In addition, some wealthy businessmen from Macao, 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 bastards who ruined the "godfather" culture.

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

Boss Yang laughed a few times, did not say an answer, but gave Tang En a meaningful look, "Mr. Walker, since you have accepted a Japanese/Japanese actress as your daughter, are you interested in accepting two goddaughters from the Hong Kong government? "

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

Boss Yang understood immediately, and waved his hand, "What do you think of Xiao Zhong and Xiao Cai?"

"The two of them?"

Tang En's complexion changed.

Ms. Zhong and Ms. Cai got Boss Yang's eyes, and immediately reacted, and shouted in unison: "Godfather!"

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