“I want to be in Formosa, but…”
Qingxia frowned. She was so famous in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Mainland, and even had considerable fame in East Asia and Southeast Asia.
If this happened, it would probably instantly make headlines across Taiwan, Mainland China and Hong Kong.
“Then let’s go to America.”
Li Yishu guessed Qingxia’s concerns and decided that it would be safest to arrange for her to give birth in the United States.
Qingxia was hardly famous there, and according to the theory that giving birth at an advanced age of 33 or above would have considered her to be extremely old.
Today, the level of medical care in the United States is still very high.
“You can go to the United States, but you have to wait for a while. It’s not obvious to me now.”
Qingxia thought about it and agreed to Li Yishu’s proposal.
Li Yishu said, “After attending the Venice Film Festival in September, I will go to the United States to shoot a movie. I will be with you during the pregnancy.”
Originally, Li Yishu had not decided whether to shoot a foreign language film in the United States today, but now that the situation is facing her, she must shoot it.
Just after attending the Venice Film Festival in September, he went to the United States to shoot a movie while accompanying Qingxia.
I just don’t know how to tell my mom that she’s become a grandmother.
Next, Li Yishu contacted Cheng Long via fax and delayed the start time of the crew by two days. After that, she stayed with Qingxia in Hong Kong for two days before leaving for the United States.
Before leaving, he met with Xu Lu’s husband, Mr. Tang, and talked about the development of Shanghai Pudong, hoping that the other party could help him contact the leaders there.
Mr. Tang is also a decisive person. Not only did he nod and agree to help, he also expressed his willingness to cooperate with Li Yishu on the development. He has been working in real estate in Hong Kong and Taiwan for many years, and he knows very well that although housing prices in Shanghai are still very low and many people are not optimistic about Pudong, the most important thing in the real estate industry is vision.
Development across the river is something Shanghai must do in the future. As the most famous director in the mainland, including China, Li Yishu recently became a European triple gold grand slam winner, and his personal popularity has skyrocketed.
If Lee Ye-su lives there in the future, it will definitely boost real estate sales, and the slogan can also be put forward during sales: “Live next door to the Godfather of Asian Cinema!”
In Mr. Tang’s opinion, this slogan alone is worth tens of millions.
When the founder of Tomson One sought cooperation, Li Yishu naturally agreed. If the other party could build Tomson One into a top luxury housing project in Shanghai in the millennium, then they could naturally build a second one.
So Li Yishu and Qingxia jointly put out 2 million Hong Kong dollars, plus Mr. Tang’s 1 million, and planned to use the 3 million yuan to buy a piece of land near the Huangpu River in Pudong to build new high-end residential buildings.
Li Yishu didn’t understand real estate matters, but because of Xu Su’s relationship, he still believed in Mr. Tang. In addition to sending professional financial personnel to supervise the accounts, he also arranged for a person in charge to be in charge of the handover, and entrusted all other aspects to the other party.
United States.
Los Angeles.
Inside a photography base in Hollywood.
The crew members of “Rumble in the Bronx” have already arrived.
Li Yishu apologized to Ho Kuan Chang and Cheng Long, “I’m sorry, Manager Ho, Ah Long, I was delayed in Hong Kong due to something.”
The crew arrived in Los Angeles on March 3 and rented this photography base for seven days in total. Every day of delay would cost a day’s pay.
Ho Kuan Chang shook his head and said, “It’s okay, Director Li. We just need to get familiar with the surrounding environment these two days, so that we can speed up the running-in process when the official shooting starts.”
“Well, thank you, Manager He.”
Li Yishu smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Cheng Long: “Along, have you designed the moves?”
“Director Li, the design is almost done.” Cheng Long nodded: “In the past two days, the members of the Cheng family team and I have designed several sets of actions according to the content of the script. Please help me check whether it is OK later!”
Ho Kuan-chang next to him asked, “The crew is almost ready now. Director Li, when do you think we’re going to start filming?”
“The filming will officially start tomorrow morning. I’ll go check out Aaron’s action design later.”
Li Yishu glanced at her watch and saw that it was already past two in the afternoon. She looked up and said, “Manager He, please notify the crew. I will treat everyone to dinner tonight as an apology for being late for the past two days.”
“Haha, Director Li is too polite. I won’t apologize, but I believe everyone will be happy to treat us to a meal.”
Ho Kuan Chang was smiling. He had worked at Golden Harvest for more than 20 years. He was not only doing production work, but also more importantly, he was responsible for easing conflicts between the company and its employees. He was always very careful with his words.
Hearing this, Li Yishu smiled and didn’t bother about it anymore. Instead, she followed Cheng Long to look at the action design.
As for Ho Kuan-chang, he went to inform the crew members and the main creative team that Director Li was treating them to dinner tonight and everyone must be present.
In a small square.
The Cheng family team simulated a supermarket fight near the shelves.
Some people use shampoo spray, some use mops as sticks, and some use the inner pot of rice cookers as helmets…
A group of people are fighting back and forth, which is very lively and interesting and gives people a sense of rationality.
A supermarket fight scene can be played out in many different ways, and the most important thing is that it is very immersive.
Almost all the goods in the supermarket can be bought by ordinary people, and even seen frequently. When used in action movies, the visual effects presented are not only good, but most importantly, they can make the audience feel familiar with them.
The inner liner of the rice cooker is used as a helmet, and shampoo is used as pepper spray…
Watching this comical action scene, Li Yishu glanced at Cheng Long beside her, feeling that the other party’s nickname “Furniture Dragon” was not for nothing. She wondered when he would evolve into a Dinosaurus?
Seeing that the performance was almost over, Cheng Long stopped the Cheng family members and said with a smile: “How about it, Director Li, how about these moves?”
“Very good. The fight scene in the supermarket follows this approach. It also fits your acting style, Aaron.”
Li Yishu had no good suggestions for action scenes. Cheng Long’s action style was too obvious. If he changed it to something like the fast, accurate and ruthless style in “The Bourne Supremacy”, it would not fit Cheng Long’s comedy action movies. “Director Li!”
At this moment, a figure suddenly ran over, took Li Yishu’s arm, and said with a smile: “Director Li, why did you come just now? I have been waiting for you for several days.”
Looking at Li Jiaxin who was hugging his arm and smiling, Li Yishu raised his eyebrows. This woman… Before he could say anything, he saw Anita Mui and Zhao Wenzhuo walking over together.
The two said in unison: “Director Li! X2”
Li Yishu nodded, as a greeting to Anita Mui, and then looked at Zhao Wenzhuo: “Wenzhuo, why are you here?”
Zhao Wenzhuo scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile, “I have some free time recently, so I asked Sister Mei to bring me here to see the world.”
“What do you mean by seeing the world?” Mei Yanfang rolled her eyes at him, then smiled at Li Yishu and said, “Director Li, I heard from Brother Long that there are many supporting roles in the movie, so I asked him to come over and play a cameo role.”
Hearing this, Li Yishu looked at Cheng Long.
“It’s the character who buys ice cream.”
Cheng Long on the side hurriedly explained that he knew Li Yishu’s rules. Once the actors were cast, they could not be changed at will, and Li Yishu was the boss of the entire crew.
Oh, and replaced Alex To’s role which only had a few scenes.
Seeing that it was just a replacement for such a small role, Li Yishu didn’t say anything. However, he would always find trouble with Cheng Long if he played a supporting role with only a few minutes of screen time.
This doesn’t mean that Li Yishu is unkind or doesn’t give face, but she wants to tell Cheng Long who is the boss of this crew!
Otherwise, someone like Cheng Long, who is used to being the boss of the crew, might become more aggressive if he backs down a little.
“Director Li, when do we start filming?”
Li Jiaxin had seen Li Yishu ignoring her for such a long time and had been chatting with Anita Mui for so long, so she got close to her again. This time, she not only hugged Li Yishu’s arms with both hands, but also stuck her penis against hers.
The beautiful woman fell for him, and Li Yishu was not Liu Xiahui. While enjoying the erection, he smiled and said, “Didn’t Manager He tell you? We will start shooting tomorrow morning.”
“Tomorrow morning. I have to go back home tonight to get ready. I can’t sleep in late. I haven’t completely recovered from the jet lag in the past two days. I’m getting dark circles under my eyes.”
“That’s right. Everyone go to bed early tonight. I don’t want you all to be listless when we start filming tomorrow morning.”
“Don’t worry, Director Li. I will definitely go to bed early tonight and won’t delay tomorrow’s filming.”
Li Jiaxin hugged Li Yishu’s arm tightly, looked at Anita Mui with a smile on her face, and there was a provocative look in her eyes.
When Anita Mui saw this scene, a hint of disdain flashed across her lips, but she quickly recovered and continued to maintain a faint smile.
During the two days she was in Los Angeles, she had some unpleasant experiences with Li Jiaxin.
It’s not a big deal, it’s just that Li Jiaxin likes to talk about Li Yishu, thinking that if she slept with him, she would be Director Li’s person. From time to time, she would also mock and ridicule Anita Mui for not choosing a stronger man.
In addition, Anita Mui and Manyu Cheung are also good friends. Manyu Cheung had some conflicts with Li Jiaxin in Hong Kong before, so she looked down on Li Jiaxin even more.
But Anita Mui was no fool. She knew that Li Jiaxin was so outrageous that she most likely really had climbed into Director Li’s bed. If she was satirizing her, she was actually satirizing Li Yishu.
So Anita Mui didn’t make much mockery in public, but privately she relied on her status as the big sister in the circle and worked with the crew to isolate Li Jiaxin.
This is also why after learning that Lee Yi-su had arrived, Li Jiaxin rushed over and threw herself into his arms in front of everyone, just to tell those who were isolating her that Director Li was standing behind her.
Li Yishu looked at the time on her watch and said, “I’ve booked a nice hotel. It’s almost time now. Let’s go.”
restaurant.
After dinner, He Guanchang met with Li Yishu alone.
Li Yishu was surprised as soon as the other party opened his mouth.
“Director Li, are you interested in becoming a shareholder of our Golden Harvest?”
“Golden Harvest shareholder?”
Li Yishu looked at He Guanchang in surprise.
“That’s right!” He Guanchang nodded and said, “Our Jiahe has already decided to go public before the end of the year. Before that, I discussed with Mr. Zou and wanted to invite Mr. Li to become a shareholder of our company.”
At this critical juncture of the listing, Ho Kuan Chang suddenly came to ask her if she was interested in investing in Golden Harvest, which made Li Yishu feel strange.
Even though he is now a director who has won three major awards and is known as the godfather of Asian films, and has made movies that have grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, compared to Golden Harvest as a whole, having Li Yishu can only be said to be icing on the cake.
You should know that Golden Harvest Film Company has been developing rapidly in recent years, and has produced many classic and box office hits, such as the “Huang Feihong” series, “The Deer and the Cauldron”, “God of Gamblers”, etc.
It produces at least 20-25 films every year and can be said to be one of the top film production companies in Hong Kong, with a huge influence.
Li Yishu is very famous. If Huayi Brothers goes public in the future, as long as he is willing to become a shareholder of Huayi Brothers, he alone will probably be able to raise the share price of Huayi Brothers.
But the Hong Kong stock market does not look at whether your shareholders include celebrities or big directors, but only at how much revenue your company generates each year. The Hong Kong stock investors, who have been fleeced countless times, are very calm and collected.
“I am naturally interested in becoming a shareholder of Jiahe Company.”
After confirming that she was willing to be a shareholder of Golden Harvest, Li Yishu asked, “I just have a question. Why did Manager He and Mr. Zou want to invite me to be a shareholder?”
“Haha, since Director Li asked, I’ll just get straight to the point.”
Ho Kuan Chang adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, “To be honest, inviting Director Li to become a shareholder of Golden Harvest is actually conditional, and that is to exchange shares with Director Li’s art film company.”
