Chapter 109 Surprise after arriving at the treasure island

It is not strange that Qiu Degen wants to test Duqi's attitude, because Duqi is a three-generation Chinese immigrant from the United States.

When I was young in the last life, Du Qi always naively thought that Chinese people all over the world were all one family, but later he grew older and entered the Internet age. The various news he learned increased, and only then did he realize that things were not that simple.

The generation of Chinese overseas is fine, but many of the other two and third generations of Chinese are quite wary of the country. This is not surprising, because the living environment since childhood, the news seen on the program, and the attitudes of people will affect people's impressions. Among them, the one that impressed Duqi the most was Singapore.

Speaking of this country, before 2010, the popular tourist routes like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand were mentioned in this Lion City. The efficiency and development of this place are well known, and many places are worth learning.

However, with the continuous development of the Internet, Singapore's countless black history has been clearly revealed, which has made countless domestic people turn to black against Singapore from fans, because such a country composed of 97% of Chinese people is also the most ruthless country for the mainland.

Many Chinese people around the world can become well-known politicians, social activists, public intellectuals, etc., and are recognized by those in Europe and the United States, and praised by foreign media. Most of the reason why they are completely inclined to the West and become "banana people" can be accepted by the mainstream of Western society.

That's why Qiu Degen wanted to test Du Qi's attitude. After expressing his attitude towards Qiu Degen, Du Qi went directly to Taiwan.

The crew members of the "Mr. Zombie" applied for visas to enter Taiwan for more than a week, and Duqi held a US passport, but there was no need to be so troublesome.

During this filming, Du Qi explained Wang Jing about his actions. He listened to Lin Zhengying more. He is not only the male lead, but also the action director of this film.

Filming action scenes is a technical job, and it doesn’t mean that anyone who has good kung fu can be an action director. Bruce Lee is very skilled, right? But when Bruce Lee was filming a movie, he would never turn on the film as long as Lin Zhengying was not there, because only the actions designed by Lin Zhengying could satisfy him.

Wang Jing has been taking the crew to Taiwan for several days, and they are all doing preparations. Recently, the first batch of follow-up works of "Happy Ghost" have also begun to be released these days.

A director from Shaw Brothers made a movie "The Salty Ghost" which tells a series of funny stories caused by a bank employee being a pervert. Before the release of the movie, when it was promoted on Shaw Brothers' theaters, it intentionally or unintentionally used the signature of "Happy Ghost" and won a box office of 4.08 million in 18 days after its release.

Based on the investment in the film, this movie can be said to have made a fortune, which made Duqi a little helpless. He had never heard of this movie in his previous life.

In addition to Shaw Brothers Cinema, Jiahe and Princess Jin, there are also several follow-up films of "Happy Ghost", such as "Campus Joy Ghost", "Godless Galls on the Street", which even made millions of box offices.

"Happy Ghost" has a very high box office and has stimulated these directors in Hong Kong. In addition, these funny ghost movies are low in cost and have low requirements for directors and actors.

After seeing these follow-up films released, Du Qi made up his mind to stop filming the sequel to "Happy Ghost" within at least one or two years. The disorder of Hong Kong movies is well known. If the sequel is released together with these follow-up films, it will definitely be dragged down by these inferior films.

In the south of the ocean, "Happy Ghost" has been released in Southeast Asian countries for more than half a month. Due to the operation of Shaw Brothers theaters, the cumulative box office of "Happy Ghost" in Southeast Asia has been more than 3.8 million US dollars. Among them, the audience in Singapore and Malaysia reacted the strongest, but in Thailand, the Philippines is much colder, but the release effect of Taiwan is quite good, and RB is a bit troublesome. The conditions proposed by the film providers are relatively harsh, and the two sides are still negotiating.

Du Qi arranged for "Mr. Zombie" to be filmed in Taiwan. Firstly, the China Film Culture City in Taiwan is more convenient. There is a rebuilt antique architecture cinema here, covering an area of ​​nearly 50,000 square meters. In recent years, many ancient costumes and early Republic of China films in Hong Kong and Taiwan were filmed in China Film Culture City. It was not until the crews of Hong Kong and Taiwan went to the mainland to shoot in real scenes that the China Film Culture City gradually declined.

The second is to allow Oriental Film and Television to build up Taiwan's relations, and even intend to acquire a theater chain in Taiwan. Now Taiwan's film and television industry is not easy. In the past few years, more than half of the film companies went to Hong Kong to develop.

However, this is not about the quality of the movie, but is caused by the general environment of the Taiwan market. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States has brought too much impact on Taiwan. Many wealthy Taiwanese businessmen and filmmakers believe that Taiwan has no future, so they have sorted out their fine lines and run away to Europe, America, RB, Hong Kong, and even the mainland. Ordinary people are also in awe, and entertainment activities have been greatly reduced. In addition to the popularity of TVs, many people choose to watch TV at home, which has further reduced the number of moviegoers.

This bleak situation was not until the US primary processing industry moved to Taiwan, and the economy grew explosively in 1981 and the people regained their confidence.

However, it is not so easy for the film industry to recover, because many talents have left. Now Taiwan’s overall investment is also towards the processing industry. The entertainment industry does not have enough capital investment, and now there are still some people who are still half dead. At least, there are many theaters now being contacted. However, they are all separate cinemas. Duqi asked Ma Youcheng to talk to the other party first.

After Duqi arrived at the crew, he saw an actress in the crew and couldn't help but ask Wang Jing: "Where did you find that girl?"

Wang Jing said: "Mr. Du, her name is Wang Shuxian. She is now studying at Guoguang Art School in Taiwan. I see that she looks outstanding and has spirituality, so I asked her to play a small role."

Nodding, Du Qi looked at the girl carefully again. Although she still looked young and immature, she was indeed the Wang Shuxian in her impression, and said, "She has good qualifications and has the opportunity to sign her into our company."

"Don't worry, Mr. Du, I'll ask back and make sure she agrees to sign in to our company." Wang Jing saw Du Qi's reaction and quickly promised.

As soon as I said this, I heard a voice beside me: "Brother Qi, you come to Taiwan to see me, so why don't you tell me in advance."

The person who came was Guan Zhilin. At this time, she was wearing a dress from the Republic of China period. She had a more ladylike temperament. She smiled brightly, which made Wang Jingdu beside her shine. Then she quickly lowered her head and thought to herself: "Mr. Du is indeed a lucky man, but with Mr. Du and becoming a well-known director, I also have the benefits of this."

Thinking of the success of filming "Happy Ghost", Shaw Brothers' actresses revolved around him, Wang Jing also had some expectations in his heart.

Du Qi looked at Guan Zhilin's dress at this time and couldn't help but lean over and said in her ear: "Your clothes are good. You will put them on after filming the scene. Let's 'rehearse' together."

Guan Zhilin's face turned red immediately after hearing this. Du Qi had prepared some acting clothes for her before, and helped her "rehearse" at night. Of course, two people often rehearse on the bed without realizing it.
