Chapter 529 529, Gathering
Chicken feet, pig's trotters, peanuts...
These are the wine and food brought by the crew from China.
At this moment, it was only four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the hotel restaurant was not open yet. Sun Hao, Yang Shucheng, Han Shanye, and Yu Dong wanted to get together, so they could only use these things to accompany the wine.
The Pebble Suite Hotel is located in a small town with simple conditions. Even Han Shanye, a super star who can shake the Chinese entertainment industry three times with just a stomp of his feet in China, can only live in the same room with Yu Dong.
However, fortunately, everyone didn't care about these. A piece of cardboard was laid on the floor of the hotel room, and the wine and snacks were placed, and several people sat on the floor.
"Sun Hao, what's wrong with Director Kaige? Why is his face so ugly?"
Even if he was chewing pig's trotters, Han Shanye didn't forget the gloomy face of Chen Kaige that he had just seen.
"It's nothing, actually. Director Kaige just told Jiang Wu a scene on my behalf. Jiang Wu was busy trying to adjust his mood and shoot another take, so he didn't have time to thank him."
"Oh..."
Han Shanye and Yu Dong both made noises at the same time.
"Why, Mr. Han, Brother Dong, do you two mean that you are not surprised that Director Kaige is upset over such a small matter?"
"Hehe..., that's about right. He is used to being petty. Eat, eat." Not wanting to talk more about such things, Yu Dong threw two chicken feet at Sun Hao.
Of course, Sun Hao is not a gossipy person. Since you don't say anything, I won't ask more. So he picked up the wine bottle and clinked it with the other three bottles of wine in turn, then raised his head and drank two taels.
Seeing that Sun Hao had drunk, Han Shanye, Yang Shucheng, and Yu Dong naturally followed suit and also drank two taels of wine in the bottle.
This is the rule. We have drunk together many times before, and there is always a cup of opening wine every time. Now there is no cup, so it's not bad to use the wine bottle.
"Haozi..."
"Hmm?"
"The Departed has been in production for a long time, but the release date has not been determined yet. What time period do you think is more suitable?" The person who asked the question was Yang Shucheng. As the producer of The Departed, he is most concerned about this matter now.
Well, of course, there are many filmmakers who care about this matter, such as Hollywood director Michael Bay, Hong Kong comedy king Stephen Chow, Hong Kong local directors Ma Chucheng and Wang Jing, etc.
There is no way, The Martian is too scary. On the first day of its release, the box office of the movie sold exceeded 500 million US dollars. I wonder, which movie director in the past could be as awesome as Sun Hao!
"May 1st." Sun Hao thought for a while and gave a date.
"On May 1st Labor Day, Chinese people have a seven-day holiday. If there are mainland movie fans who like The Departed very much, they can also take the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong Island and go to the cinema to take a look!"
For this, Sun Hao was very helpless.
Just like the original "Train to Busan", the movie "The Departed" was also revised into three versions, and then sent to the film authorities for review, but all three versions failed.
"Okay, I'll let Mani prepare in advance." Seeing the reply, Yang Shucheng raised the bottle to Sun Hao, then raised his head and drank another two taels.
"Sun Hao..."
"Hmm?"
"The first foreign box office share of "The Martian" will be received soon. I heard from the financial manager of China Film that you plan to let your money stay directly in the United States?" At this time, the person who spoke was Han Shanye.
Actually, it's not that he wants to care about this matter, but Sun Hao's movies have always been concerned by relevant leaders, because the movies earn US dollars abroad, and the country is in urgent need of foreign exchange reserves.
Now, Sun Hao wants to directly intercept and use it abroad, and he can't deal with it without a reason.
"Mr. Han, you know, I am more interested in high-tech companies, otherwise I would not have invested all my wealth in Damai Technology."
"So?"
"Because I am interested in several high-tech companies in the United States, I want to buy some of their stocks, such as Apple, Google, and of course, I don't plan to let go of our two domestic Internet companies, NetEase and Sohu."
"The stocks of these Internet companies have fallen so much, and you still dare to buy them?"
Han Shanye has not spoken yet, Yang Shucheng, who is more sensitive to financial news, opened his mouth in surprise.
"Try to buy them, maybe you can make money." Shrugging his shoulders, Sun Hao smiled easily.
"But what if you lose money?"
Yu Dong felt painful.
According to the agreement signed by the parties at the beginning, Sun Hao's income from the first overseas box office share of "The Martian" is about 30 million US dollars.
"If I lose money, I lose money. Just regard my filming of "The Martian" as voluntary labor." After saying it lightly, Sun Hao also raised the bottle and drank two taels.
"Sun Hao..."
"Hmm?"
"Look, when you were filming Train to Busan, you also filmed Gonjiam; when you were filming The Martian, you also filmed Moon. Now, you've brought your crew to the United States, don't you have any other ideas?"
After saying that, Yu Dong lowered his head in shame.
Sun Hao, don't blame me, it was these two old guys with thief eyes who forced me to do it. They had ideas, but they were too embarrassed to ask, so they pushed me, the youngest one, to the front.
"Hmm..."
Sun Hao suddenly fell silent.
To be honest, I also want to work in two jobs, but there are really no good projects, because the filming of the incidental movie needs to be fast, and it needs to make money after it is released...
This difficulty seems very high, right? !
"Sun Hao..."
"Sun Hao..."
"Oh..." Sun Hao finally reacted after being pushed twice by Han Shanye next to him.
"Oh, Mr. Han, let me think about this?"
"Okay, it's okay, we're not in a hurry." Han Shanye, smiling, also picked up the bottle and drank two liang of wine.
"Haozi..."
"Hmm?"
"To be honest, I was filming with you today, and my thoughts were just two words: "shocking". It was so damn shocking.
Sun Hao directly used a transport plane to pull several sports cars to a height of several thousand meters, and then airdropped them down...
Compared with this plot in our movie, the plots of other racing movies around the world are all so fucking weak."
Perhaps it was because Sun Hao agreed to consider filming another movie, or it could be that "The Departed" finally had a release date, which made the seemingly gentle Yang Shucheng very happy. Under the influence of alcohol, he directly praised Sun Hao.
"Haha, just average!"
Sun Hao smiled modestly.
Now we are standing on the shoulders of giants, there is really nothing to be proud of. When my buddy has enough qualifications and makes enough money, and an electrician at the Niangziguan Power Plant writes the science fiction masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem", I will bring that masterpiece to the big screen, and it won't be too late for you to praise me again.
However, at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Dangdangdang..."
"Who is it?"
"Director Sun Hao, it's me, please open the door, I have something to talk to you about."
