Chapter 222 Three-line Cooperation

Because the filming of "Legally Blonde" went very smoothly, and there was no need to use Su Yun's special effects technology in the post-production part; therefore, near the end of the year, Su Yun finished most of the work on hand, entrusted it to Ovitz to find a suitable editor and post-production staff, and then boarded the plane back to Hong Kong again.

Of course, during the three months of filming, Su Yun not only trained herself, but also got to take advantage of many future superstars.

Especially since Jackson, who is considered a legendary figure in the music industry, was included in her own movie, and she also got his autograph, took a photo with him, and left a good impression on him... This is simply a super exciting thing.

While looking at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, Su Yun happily recalled the gains from this long journey away from home.

However, although what made her happiest was Jackson's cameo, what made her most relieved must be that she finally got rid of the scumbag Kondo Shinhiko ahead of time.

According to the news Zhao Liying sent back from Japan, Akina Nakamori really saw the true face of the scumbag. Even when she was dealing with the media's visit and going to the hospital, she did not say a word. She was completely different from the kind-hearted person who would feel sad when seeing other people's misfortunes.

"Isn't this great? In this circle, if you are too kind, people will just think you are a softie who is easy to bully. In this way, those who bully the good and fear the evil will always be thinking about taking advantage of you when they get the chance." Su Yun was very calm about the change in Akina Nakamori.

"But the sudden collapse of the golden screen was not an accident." After Zhao Liying inquired clearly, he felt that he helped to clean up the traces. After confirming that everything was correct, he dared to contact Su Yun, "Mingcai used to help her family with chores, so she knew how to do carpentry. Without us knowing, she sneaked back into the venue and tampered with the base of the golden screen..."

"Yes, she took the initiative to admit it to me, so I didn't blame her, and I took the time to help her deal with the whole thing." As an excellent manager, Zhao Liying never minds the blackening of his artists, but only cares about their level of honesty: compared to those artists who have done something wrong and refuse to admit it, those who speak clearly about the matter like Akina Nakamori are much easier to deal with later.

As for those artists who, for some purpose, hide the truth from even their own people and ultimately suffer a public relations failure, Zhao Liying has only one word to say to them: "You deserve it."

The reason why these news were reported to Su Yun after being processed was naturally because Zhao Liying needed to gain Su Yun's understanding: Although Su Yun has always shown that she is not surprised by all kinds of gray things in the circle, when such a thing happened to her artist, Su Yun must be made aware of all the details.

Moreover, Su Yun seems to have a high tolerance for gray, but she has never done anything very dark and has always been quite red and professional. What if she actually can't stand such things happening under her command... Therefore, Zhao Liying took the initiative to report it in order to gain a good impression and say something good about Akina Nakamori in front of Su Yun.

Fortunately, Su Yun is not that kind of pedantic person. Although he is based on justice, he can also tolerate the gray between black and white. He is a typical Sherlock Holmes-type character who believes that "when the law cannot give justice, revenge becomes a legitimate and noble behavior."

"It's okay. I know she is not as weak and pitiful as she looks. On the contrary, the power hidden under her thin body may scare us in the future." Su Yun smiled. "I am still filming a movie in the United States at this time. You will still be responsible for the affairs in Japan."

When Zhao Liying heard Su Yun say that she was filming a new movie in the United States, she asked at the end of the conversation, whether intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that there is a new film company in Hong Kong called True Art Performance, and the movie "Best Partner" produced by it broke the Hong Kong movie box office record during the Christmas season last year."

"I know, Hong Kong has already notified me." Su Yun sighed, "So this is one of the reasons why I hurried back to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year after finishing filming Legally Blonde."

Because the North American market, which Su Yun is mainly attacking, has been quite stable recently, Zhao plans to recall Su Yun to Hong Kong to make a movie with Jiahe, who came to discuss cooperation, to compete with Zhen Yicheng, which is very popular at this time.

Behind True Art Presentation is the Golden Princess Cinemas chain which is backed by a real estate company. They also made a lot of money from their previous film and defeated two established film companies in one fell swoop. They are now fearless and thriving - so it is only natural that they would increase their investment and want to shoot "Best Partner 2" to build on their success.

Although there is a saying that there is no father and son in the arena, it was she who supported her adopted grandfather Xu Gujie when he switched to Zhen Yicheng... In this case, Su Yun, the adopted daughter, turned around and attacked her adopted grandfather when his career achieved great success. This is a very inhumane and unethical behavior in the underworld.

Of course, everyone in the Zhao family knew that this would make things very difficult for Su Yun, but it was rare for Jiahe, who was badly defeated by Zhen Yicheng, to take the initiative to negotiate peace. If the Zhao family did not seize this opportunity, they might not have the chance to rise again in the Hong Kong market in the future.

“But even if I am willing to shoot, where can I find a suitable script now on such an urgent basis?!” In the agreement between Zhao and Jiahe, Jiahe made a large investment, while Zhao designated Su Yun as the leading actress. Naturally, he also wanted to go for the traffic route: using the same type of film to compete with "Best Partner 2", a family-friendly movie with a certain viewing base, is undoubtedly a dead end.

Therefore, the two companies set their sights on all the recent hot topics in Hong Kong and planned to produce a love movie targeting young men and women to take advantage of all the hot topics at once - "Armored Woman", a TV series with two female protagonists that teaches modern women to be self-reliant, became a hot topic in the city after a few episodes were aired thanks to Fang Mona's operation.

Not only did it improve the status and reputation of female police officers, it also prompted a substantial increase in the number of young girls who aspire to join the police force, and subtly set off a trend in which the city's audience only knew "Madam" but not "Sir" when encountering problems.

With this popularity, Su Yun, the main creator of "Armored Woman", is going to make a movie about youth and romance, and it will be "double-screened" by Zhao Jiahe's two theaters. Wouldn't it be able to dig out a large number of young audiences who want to watch a romance movie on a date from the blockade of "Best Partner"?

Anyway, Hong Kong movies are shot quickly, and this year's Lunar New Year is on January 25th. So if we work hard after starting work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we might be able to catch the premiere on February 14th, Valentine's Day...

Firstly, it can avoid the estimated release date of "Best Partner 2", secondly, it can leave a movie this year that can compete with this series at the box office, and thirdly, it will not delay Su Yun from going to the United States to supervise "Blade Runner", killing three birds with one stone.

It seems to be the best of both worlds and not offending anyone, but in fact, once you are on the battlefield, there is no time to talk about being loyal and righteous.

Even though the subject matter is different and the positioning is different and the release date is different, in the end, isn't the fight still for the annual single-film box office champion in 1982?

Therefore, even though Zhao and Jiahe made their own concessions, Su Yun still felt it was inappropriate.

It wasn't until Xu Gujie came to talk to Su Yun and said that he and Zhen Yicheng didn't mind Su Yun making a new film: after all, when there are no enemies, people will only regress instead of progress.

"It seems that you are very confident in the "Best Partner" series." Su Yun said with a smile.

Although it sounds arrogant, it does make sense if you think about it carefully: Zhen Yicheng's company structure is a model of cooperation conceived by a team of multiple partners. The first few films were all great successes, so naturally it has the "youthful and vigorous" spirit.

With a real estate company as its financial backer, it has no shortage of investment for large-scale scenes. Even if its computer technology is not as amazing as Su Yun's, for the machines in Hong Kong cinemas, it is enough to rely on the stuntmen's risky high-risk shooting.

Therefore, the special effects technology that Su Yun has been slaying in North America cannot gain a big advantage in Hong Kong because the hardware cannot keep up with the international progress.

And the most important thing is - if he wins, Zhen Yicheng will be able to establish his divinity from then on; if he loses, Zhen Yicheng can also use the words "I was no match for my predecessor" to make up for the defeat.

This confrontation will definitely be beneficial to Zhen Yichen with no harm at all.

Besides, even though Su Yun has been "unbanned" in Taiwan, she is still banned from entering Taiwan. If the total box office in Asia is calculated, Su Yun's new movie will lack the box office in Taiwan and will have to be released in mainland China to make money due to her poor relationship with the mainland, so it will be missing a lot of data.

But in this tense confrontation that seemed to be about to bring about a revolution in the Hong Kong film industry, the funniest thing was the ending - when everyone in the film and television industry was fighting for their own reputation, the real estate company behind Zhen Yi Cheng teamed up with another partner who wanted to develop in the film industry, and approached Zhao and Jiahe, promising that as long as the three companies included Zhen Yi Cheng to cooperate in making a movie, they would help solve the problems in Taiwan...

As long as the problems left over from Su Yun are solved, all of Su Yun's previous films and those shot later can be released in Taiwan and the affected Southeast Asian regions to make money - this temptation is really a bit stinging, and it makes Zhao and Jiahe, who originally wanted to join forces to squeeze out the newcomers and compete for their position in Hong Kong, seem to be quite tempted.

Faced with this capital-first situation where people can put aside their hatred and work together to make money, Su Yun actually gave them a very "visual" movie script -

"My Three Dead Ex-husbands": The heroine Su Su has been married three husbands in succession. Her first husband, the superstar Zhou Jiahe, accidentally fell down the hillside and died at the wedding. Her second husband, the gang leader Shao Sanshi, was sniped by his enemies at the wedding. Her third husband, the pastor Shen Yicheng, was frightened by the two ghosts of his ex-husbands on candlelight night... In the end, because of the departure of these three ex-husbands, they left Su Su a large sum of inheritance, making her an invisible rich woman that few people know about.

While waiting for reincarnation, the ghosts of the three ex-husbands secretly stayed by Su Su's side. Not only did they take care of the widow, but they also disliked each other and occasionally worked together to drive away new suitors to avoid being cheated on.

Until one day, they found out that Su Su, who was immersed in the comments about her husband's misfortune, was diagnosed with emotional illness and could not take care of herself. If Su Su also met with an accident, their assets would be reclaimed by the government, and they would become wandering ghosts with no one to worship them...

In order to help Su Su get out of the shadow and regain a new life, and in order to prevent their life-long property from being confiscated, the three ex-husbands had to put aside their past grudges and work together to embark on a journey to find a satisfactory cuckold...
