Chapter 712: Someone ran away? "Rest, rest!" "Orange chicken again today, yay!" At noon that day, a group of people happily ran to the canteen to eat. Uma Thurman is a serious 15-year-old girl who is very happy every time she eats. She thinks it is very interesting here and still retains the Hollywood studio system. Food, accommodation and work are all together, like some kind of closed institutional unit. There are many people in the cafeteria. Chen Qi prepared the meal and sat at the table with Gu Weili and Jiang Zhiqiang. The two assistants were talking to each other internally and externally. "Aqiang, you go to the United States to see Bob Shea in a while to discuss sending "Sweetheart" to the Sundance Film Festival." "The one started by Robert Redford?" "right!"

"Are there any other movies?" "The style of those films is too low and has no topicality. "Sweetheart" has the theme of underage parricide. You can give it a try. Even if you don't win an award, it can attract some attention and help its distribution." "Okay!" Jiang Zhiqiang nodded. The Sundance Film Festival held its first event this year. It was founded by the famous Hollywood filmmaker Robert Redford and is held in January every year to support small-budget independent films. Speaking of this, Chen Qi suddenly called Uma Thurman over. "Sir, what's the matter?" Although Uma Thurman was reprimanded, she had a good impression of him and did learn a lot. Chen Qidao: "There is a Sundance Film Festival. You can go back and find out more about it. We should participate in the review and keep in touch." "You mean, we're going to the film festival?" "almost!" "Wow! I'm looking forward to it now, I mean thank you for giving me this opportunity." She was very excited, expressed her feelings back and forth a few times, and then returned to her mother. The two of them whispered to each other, and her mother was also very happy. Gu Weili saw this and said, "Boss, why don't you take her in? Anyway, you have so many sisters, don't you care about having another American sister?" "Ghost girls have a strong smell, which was okay when I was a child, but after puberty, they stink to death. The boss doesn't like it!" Jiang Zhiqiang tried to figure out the holy intention and even tried to die. "You two have no salary this month!" Chen Qi hummed: "Hollywood agencies have already carved up their territory. We don't need to start agency business in the United States. Uma Thurman has good potential, but it's not enough for me to make an exception to sign a contract." "That's such a pity. I think she's pretty good, pure and cute." “…” Chen Qi opened his mouth, but was still too lazy to speak. Yes, Uma Thurman is shy at this time, but that's relative. There is no such thing as innocence if you can make it in Hollywood. She worked as a cover model and often ran around with a group of adults. She got pregnant when she was 15 years old and then had an abortion.

Now that she has come to Hong Kong to film, I wonder if it will change the world. Chen Qi doesn't pay much attention either. He generally likes Uma Thurman. His favorite European and American actresses are Winona Ryder and Jennifer Connelly. Unfortunately, there are no suitable roles, otherwise they would be recruited. … "Sweetheart" only has a two-week construction period. Uma Thurman just had some feeling in her debut film, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. Mou Dundi made the connection seamlessly and immediately filmed "The Shock". This film tells the story of a woman who becomes infected with an unknown virus after a one-night stand and her body gradually mutates. She locked herself at home, watching her skin rot bit by bit, maggots crawling out of her lower body, becoming increasingly hungry for raw meat... There is no storyline, it just shows the process of a woman mutating until she becomes a zombie. At the same time, filming of "The Amityville Horror 123" has begun, and Lefty's film this year is also being filmed. Movies scheduled to be released this year include "Why Do You Need Me", "Xin Zha Junior Sister 2", "Happy Ghost 3", "A Better Tomorrow", etc. The zombie universe is also continuing, and Legendary Pictures is generously filming here. Nowadays, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, and Xu Guanying have all been banned by Taiwan, but Xu Guanying is full of absurdity. He is a fixed figure in the zombie universe, playing the role of Uncle Nine's apprentice literary talent. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse that he’ll be in the entire series. The Maoshan sect's senior brother Shi Jian, second brother Jiu Shu, third brother Si Mu, and junior brother Qian He are filming a solo movie for Shi Jian and Si Mu this year, and another one for Uncle Jiu. Next year we will film Chizuru, and then there will be a film about brothers joining forces to slay demons. After "Mr. Zombie" became popular, many ideas followed the trend, and they all wanted to cast Lin Zhengying. And he had already been signed by Zhuang Cheng for five films in one go. No one dared to grab him, so they had to find someone else. But the strange thing about zombie movies is that without Lin Zhengying, it wouldn't be the same! Just like there is no Yuki in the pornographic movie, it is definitely not a classic. In short, the leftist film scene has reached unprecedented prosperity and excitement, and with it comes a shortage of resources. “The studio is not enough??” "Eight films were shot at the same time! No matter how I coordinate, I can't coordinate them!" Shi Nansheng slapped the table and said immediately: "It's all your fault! Go to the next door to borrow it quickly, or there will be a fight!" "Okay, okay, I'll go right away!" Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version! Chen Qi didn't dare to mess with her, so he led Gu Weili and Xiao Mo to the Shaw Brothers studio next door. It was deserted here, and almost all the actors were unemployed, not to mention the staff. Later, TVB built a TV city here, and moved to a new location after the new century. The original studio was sold and developed into a comprehensive real estate. The two families were neighbors, and Chen Qi didn't come much. He only came twice when he was digging for Zhong Chuhong. Fang Yihua heard the purpose of his visit and asked suspiciously: "You have so many movies to shoot? Are you really renting the studio, or are you just here to watch a joke?" "No matter how much I try to add insult to injury, I will not add insult to injury. We are shooting eight films at the same time, and there is really no room." "Eight?" Fang Yihua was shocked. When Shaw Brothers was at its peak, there were not eight movies being filmed at the same time. He said, "I can help, but you have to pay to rent, so don't try to take advantage of me. At most, I'll give you a 20% discount on the market price."

"Okay, just rent it!" Chen Qi said. Fang Yihua was happy to be able to make money and said with a smile: "I heard that you found a group of people from mainland China to do the work?" "How do you know?" "Why don't we know that our two families are right next to each other? Mainland labor must be cheaper, and Mr. Chen is also making a profit from the price difference of his compatriots?" "What do you know? I export to the United States. This is called earning foreign exchange! Unlike you, have you made back the money you lost by investing in "Blade Runner"?" The two attack each other. Shaw Brothers invested heavily in "Blade Runner" and suffered huge losses, which is their eternal pain. Fang Yihua's face darkened and he snorted: "Mind your own business, you are asking so many mainlanders to come to Hong Kong. I am not discriminating against them, but I sincerely remind you to be careful. If you want to rent a studio, hurry up and get the money. I won't sign a contract with you, but make a verbal agreement, which I can still trust. " "Hey, thank you, Manager Fang, for your concern!" Chen Qigong cupped his hands, paused, and asked, "Is Mr. Shao feeling better?" "What are you going to do?" "Let's chat when you have time. We have to meet after all." "I will convey it!" Fang Yihua also understood. Finish the conversation quickly and get out of the way quickly. He went back and told Shi Nansheng, and Shi Nansheng sent someone to contact him and move several crews to the Shaw Brothers studio as soon as possible. I wonder if Fang Yihua was too clumsy and called it a day. Early the next morning, Chen Qi received a call from Yindu dormitory at home: "It's broken! Someone is missing!" (No more...)
