Originally, all the shots for the new movie could have been shot on the island.
But now that this has happened, Chen Bei has to find a new place.
This will increase the cost of filming. If this happens in other crews, the investors will definitely be dissatisfied.
But for Chen Bei, this kind of thing is not a problem at all. The investors even hope that Chen Bei will spend more money.
Although Chen Bei has proved with facts that he can still make good movies even with less money.
But investors think that if they spend more money, the quality of the movie will definitely be better!
Two film and television companies in Hong Kong invested in the shooting of this new movie. As soon as Chen Bei arrived here, the other party sent people over to warmly welcome him.
Let me put it this way, during the three days he spent in Hong Kong Island, Chen Bei attended three days of dinner parties and got to know many of the upper class people in Hong Kong Island.
There are wealthy people from the same circle as well as from other fields. In short, they are all familiar faces.
Even at the end of the meal, Chen Bei himself didn't know why he was having this meal.
Chen Bei could understand why his friends in Hong Kong were so enthusiastic.
In recent years, Hong Kong's entertainment industry has gradually declined, especially the film and television industry. All they do all day is rehash old stuff or make bad movies. Hong Kong's films no longer have the flavor of the last century.
In addition, their market is so small, and they can see the huge market in the mainland, so now anyone with a little ability is thinking about how to go to the mainland to make money.
As the boss of a new mainland entertainment company, Chen Bei has many good actors under his command and has just set a box office record. Of course, everyone wants to have a relationship with him.
I heard that Chen Bei has a lot of resources at his disposal, so let's try to get closer to him. Do you think it's possible for us to invest in your other films and let the artists under our company appear in them?
Some wealthy people even spoke directly at the banquet, saying that as long as Chen Bei was willing to let his favorite actors star in the movie, money would definitely not be a problem, and Chen Bei could just name a number!
Some powerful people even said that Chen Bei had been treated unfairly in Taiwan Island, and they were outraged. They still had some friends there, and they could definitely help to say hello and make Zong Zhewei unhappy.
Of course Chen Bei welcomes cooperation. Who would complain about having too many investors these days?
As for helping him disgust Zong Zhewei, Chen Bei clearly declined.
They were just having a meal together, and he didn't believe that the other party would help him do such a thing.
And once he really asks the other party to help him, how can he repay the favor in the future?
What if the other party commits a crime in the future and tells the story, does he also have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility?
It's not like he has no other options, so why take the risk?
Originally, Chen Bei came to Hong Kong Island to finish reshooting the scenes of "Those Years" and to take a look at the trends in the mainland.
He really didn't expect that those investors were so cruel that they actually blocked his door with money and forced him to make a movie.
Considering that the workload was not heavy recently and he was free anyway, Chen Bei simply held another meeting.
"That's the situation. We've already had six investors approach us, and the investment alone is approaching 70 million. I happen to have a script suitable for filming in Hong Kong Island. Does anyone have any questions?"
Chang Ming and others looked at Chen Bei with admiration, thinking, what could be wrong with this?
It’s money that comes to your doorstep, don’t refuse it!
This is Chen Bei. If you don’t believe me, go out and ask around. Is there any other movie maker who can get investment as easily as Chen Bei these days?
"Since most of the investors are from Hong Kong Island, we should use more actors from Hong Kong Island in this film."
"Everyone knows the current state of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island. When Director Chang is filming, you should pay more attention to see if there are any good seedlings and try to recruit them."
"Please also pay more attention to the staff behind the scenes. If you find any good ones, try to recruit them."
"As I said, our company is in its early stages and we welcome talented people to join us."
Since the company was founded, the problem of manpower has been bothering Chen Bei.
This industry requires a lot of experience, and it is unrealistic to expect some veterans from other companies to switch jobs, unless you really spend a lot of money to poach them.
The speed at which our own company cultivates talent is too slow and cannot keep up with the current business volume of the company.
Chen Bei has been worried about this matter for some time.
It was not until he arrived in Hong Kong Island that he suddenly realized that the entertainment industry here was beginning to shrink and a large number of talents were running away. Isn't this a great opportunity!
People in lighting, makeup, props, and music are all talents that Chen Bei urgently needs.
Especially in terms of music, there are quite a few excellent film composers in Hong Kong.
Moreover, a good film soundtrack can not only shine in the film and television field, but also help the music department, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!
Of course, the most important point is that people in Hong Kong Island are really too cheap!
Perhaps in the eyes of Hong Kong people, those who work in film, television and entertainment already earn a lot.
But if you compare it with the current remuneration in the domestic entertainment industry, you will find that it is really hard to compare yourself with others.
Hong Kong entertainment has been claiming for years that the loss of talent is the reason for the failure of Hong Kong films, and there is some truth to this.
But then again, who can be blamed for this?
