"Hello, Mr. Williams," although Raymond Zou wanted to show a look that was neither humble nor overbearing, but there was inevitably a little bit more eagerness in his expression: "Mr. Williams, I have seen your 《Running Out of Time》, to be honest, this This movie is very similar to some of the styles of our Hong Kong movies. It just happened that 《Running Out of Time》 was released in Hong Kong by Jiahe, and Box Office is very good. "

"Actually, I have always liked Hong Kong movies very much," Eric said: "For example, several movies of Bruce Lee," Jingwumen "," Brother Tangshan "," Raptors Crossing the River "," Dragon Fighting Tiger Fight ", and That half of "Death Game" is really a pity. "At the end, Eric shook his head regretfully.

When Raymond Zou heard Eric say this suddenly, his face also showed a look of reminiscence, shaking his head and saying: "It is a pity, hey, these have been more than ten years. I still remember The first cooperation with Bruce. "

After finishing, Raymond Zou suddenly raised his head again, looked at Eric, and said with emotion: "I remember Mr. Williams, you were only 19 years old this year. When Bruce died, you should be only three years old, which is really unexpected."

"A good movie is always a good movie. Speaking of that, when I was filming in Seattle last time, I also went to the cemetery of Mr. Bruce Lee. Although it has been more than ten years, there are still many Fans from all over the world go to present flowers. "

Raymond Zou was stunned for a moment, his faint shame on his face passed away. If it were n’t for Bruce Lee, maybe he would n’t have today ’s achievements, but he would never have done it except when Bruce Lee was buried. I have been to Seattle a few times: "I will go to Seattle to worship once I finish my work."

Eric nodded recklessly. Then he looked at Robert Shay, who hadn't spoken very much. He didn't know Robert's intention to introduce the other party to himself.

In front of Raymond Zou, Robert pulled Eric aside and said, "This is it. Last year I participated in a film invested by Golden Harvest in Hong Kong," Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ". You heard about it. The film Fox agreed to be released, but after watching the film, Fox repented again. "

Eric heard a few words of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and quickly remembered the movie. Although he was not very familiar with the movie previous life in United States, he knew a story about the history of Hong Kong movies. It is said that Golden Harvest's Raymond Zou always wanted to enter the Hollywood. After several minor incidents, Golden Harvest bought the adaptation rights of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and planned to play a big one. This movie Golden Harvest invested 80 million , And finally earn 1 billion HKD in North America. At the current exchange rate, 1 billion Hong Kong dollar is equivalent to almost 130 million USD, it is impossible for a foreign company to split 100 million from Hollywood by more than USD. Then the money must be the North America Box Office, North America 100 million and more Box Office obtained by "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which can squeeze into the top ten of the current Box Office list.

For such a movie, Fox gave up. However, this also seems easy to understand, Fox has always liked to do this kind of thing. previous life Fox gave up the North America release of "Titanic" and sold it to Paramount at a low price of 60 million USD, and finally "Titanic" got more than 600 million total Box Office in North America. Despite this experience, Fox didn't learn a lesson, "Take more efforts", and later the card god's "Avatar", Fox worried about the risk, and introduced other investors, and finally "Avatar" Box Office burst. Fox lost hundreds of millions of USD because of this wrong decision.

Shake his head to throw these at sixes and sevens thoughts, Eric asked: "Robert. So what do you think?"

Robert Shay said: "This is the case, Eric. This movie invested a total of 13 million USD. This is not a small amount. The new line also participated in the investment of 3 million USD. Now Fox refuses to release it. We can only do it ourselves. I think you should have a good vision of the movie, so I want you to watch it as a film and help you come up with an idea. "

"Did the copy bring it?" Eric asked.

Robert Shay was stunned: "No, I just brought Mr. Zou to meet you. By the way, this matter, we can go to the company to see it tomorrow."

Eric also realized that he was anxious. Although he had a private response at home, even if Robert brought a copy, he would not be able to leave the hundreds of guests in the hall and leave alone, which is too impolite.

"Well, I will go to the company tomorrow morning, let's take a look."

"Well, that's it," Robert said, pointing a short distance away: "I saw an old friend who said hello in the past."

"Random, have fun," Eric said with a smile, watching Robert leave, Eric found Raymond did not leave with Eric.

"Mr. Zou, do you have anything else?"

"No, that, Mr. Williams, you just said that you like Hong Kong movies very much, what do you think of Hong Kong movies?"

Eric took Raymond to the buffet table and took some food. The two people came to the sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window and saw Eric coming over. A pair of men and women who were tired of the sofa quickly gave up their positions. .

Two people walked down together, Eric only said: "Mr. Zou, I think the discovery of Hong Kong movies has now completely lost its rationality, giving people a feeling of madness before the destruction."

Raymond originally just wanted to talk to Eric about some excellent Hong Kong movies. The set is almost the same. If it can promote cooperation, it would be better. Unexpectedly, I heard Eric talk about the status of Hong Kong movies. With a bitter smile, Raymond said helplessly: "Everyone is crazy about making money, who would think so much. It's Mr. Williams that you, an outsider, are quite clear. Since this is the case, Mr. Williams, do you think there is any solution? ? "

What can Eric do, he just casually said based on the impression of previous life.

Because of various restrictions, the prospects of Hong Kong movies are almost doomed. After thinking about it, Eric said seriously: "Although I also like many Hong Kong movies, I have no way to deal with this situation." >

Even if it does, it wo n’t work now. At least 20 years later, the mainland will completely open up its own movie market. However, at that time, it is estimated that the concept of Hong Kong film was almost gone.

Raymond sighed, looked at Eric, and tentatively asked: "So, Mr. Williams, do you think we have the possibility of cooperation?" (To be continued)
