Volume 1: The American Dream Chapter 88: A Brave Heart Takes Action

  "The story's plot is basically like this, very simple. I think these are not a problem for Hua Ge at all. It can be said that the most difficult part of the film lies in the dual personality of killer Leon, which is also not a problem thanks to Hua Ge's exquisite acting skills." Song Tang looked around at everyone, seeing them all focused and listening intently to the introduction of the story, and finally made an introduction.

  "Ah, it's indeed quite simple, this is no problem for Ah Hua. For Ah Hua," Wu Mengda first came back to his senses from the script of Song Tang, and said with a smile, his eyes filled with envy."

  "Yes, Ah Wah, for the role of a killer, although you haven't taken on many such roles, it's not like you've never had any. You should have made up your mind by now." At this time, Zhao Yazhi also started advising Liu Dehua to develop in Hollywood.

  As for what Zhao Yazhi said, Song Tang still knew some of it. In 1991, Andy Lau had starred in a movie playing the role of an assassin, titled "A Kid from Tibet". In the film, Andy Lau played a young thug who loved riding motorcycles and chasing thrills, a hot-blooded man who dared to love and hate. He reluctantly agreed to do a robbery with his boss, which led to police suspicion and pursuit. He rode his motorcycle and kidnapped Michelle Reis, escaping together.

  Wu is a rich family's daughter, living an ordinary lonely life. Under the circumstances of their encounter, a romantic love story unfolds between the two, but they are later pursued by the big boss. Director Chen Musheng makes his film debut with this romantic action movie, using a clear and smooth technique to capture the youthful spirit of "leduwo", which is rarely seen in Hong Kong films of the same genre.

  Although the role played by Andy Lau in "A Better Tomorrow" has a big difference in character, Song Tong still believes that Andy Lau can successfully play this role. After all, Andy Lau is no longer a newcomer to the entertainment industry, with over a decade of experience and dozens of films and TV series under his belt. Acting has become second nature to him, and the dual personality of Killer Liang may be difficult for others, but for Andy Lau, it's just a piece of cake.

  "Ah, Mr. Song is indeed a world-class screenwriter and director. The story may be simple, but it's really good. Hehe, I just wonder when Mr. Song will write a script for my little girl too?" Zhang Manyu's eyes gazed at Song Tang with a hint of resentment, as if he had just abandoned her. Song Tang felt uncomfortable all over, to be fair, Zhang Manyu was indeed beautiful, with a good figure and appearance. But this didn't mean that Song Tang would fall for every pretty girl he saw, that would be too common."

  "Alright, Man Yu, don't scare Xiao Song anymore. With a gaze like that, I reckon Xiao Song might not be able to leave the Dragon's gate tonight." Zhao Ya Zhi looked at Zhang Man Yu with such an expression, and since they usually got along quite well, how could she not know what kind of person Zhang Man Yu was?

  "Ugh, Zhi Jie, I was just showing off my acting skills in front of Director Song, humph, you're always ruining people's performances!" Zhang Manyu said, striking a pose that clearly conveyed her annoyance towards Zhao Yaqi.

  As good friends, the two often quarrelled, but when Zhao Yazhi saw Zhang Manyu's expression, she didn't mind at all and continued to chat with Nai Rui who was sitting next to her. Just then, Song Tang also noticed that he was chatting with a few people on his side, but couldn't hear Nai Rui's voice. Now Song Tang finally understood what was going on.

  "It's really a great thank you to you, Mr. Song. I don't know when Mr. Song will have time, but at that time I'll go to the US to find you." After some deliberation, Andy Lau found that this was indeed a rare opportunity, and if he didn't make good use of it, it would be a pity.

  "Alright, then, Brother Hua, I may not have time in the next few days." After hearing Liu Dehua's words, Song Tang thought for a moment and realized that he had already completed the preparation work for Su Fei's "Brave Heart". Once he was ready, filming could begin. If he were busy with this matter, it wouldn't be good, at least not for someone like Song Tang who was a man of his word, especially since the other party was a woman who made his heart skip a beat.

  "I told George that this matter is entirely his responsibility, and I will also give the script of 'This Killer Is Not So Cold' to George. When the time comes, you can just go to Los Angeles to find George and it's OK"

  "No problem" Andy Lau quickly replied, for this small matter Andy Lau of course had no problem, besides Andy Lau also knew that as a boss, director and screenwriter, Song Tang usually had a lot of time on his hands, otherwise it would be strange.

  "Congratulations, Ah Hua!"

  "Yes, Ah Hua, wish you success"

  "Ah Hua, get the little golden man"

  Andy Lau's matter has basically been settled, and as Andy Lau's good friends, Maggie Cheung, Richard Ng, Jet Li and Cherie Chung are envying him while sending their blessings at the same time.

  "Hehe, everyone, I know that many of you in Hong Kong and even in Asia are excellent stars. If there's an opportunity, I hope you can come to the US to develop your careers. I think we'll have a lot of chances to collaborate. China has too many great things, and I want to film so many things, it's just that there aren't enough Chinese actors in Hollywood" Song Tang said with some regret

  "Really? Mr. Song, that's great!"

  "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and so on are all good things.

  "Yes, after all, 5,000 years of Chinese culture can't be finished with just a few words. But now it's time for us to eat." It wasn't until then that Song Tang remembered the purpose of their trip here tonight. Originally, Song Tang had only wanted to come and eat, but coincidentally ran into several people and came up with some ideas on the spot. However, no matter what, they still needed to eat.

  "Little Song, you're a rich man, we're all poor people. Look at you now, you can even be considered the boss of Xiao Rui and Ah Hua, this dinner tonight."

  Song Tang looked at Zhao Yazhi's expression, and he knew that Zhao Yazhi was not very satisfied with some of the arrangements for tonight, wanting to make Song Tang suffer a bit. However, Song Tang did not show any signs of objection.

  "Dinner's on me, but I'm afraid you might not be able to finish it, Zhi Jie," Song Tang said with a smile, calling over the waiting server to start ordering.

  "Hum, who said that"

  “”

  Song Tang stayed in Hong Kong for a few more days, until George transferred all the funds for setting up Emperor Motion Pictures to Song Tang's designated account. After that, Song Tang selected a location for the company and completed the registration process. Finally, after making some arrangements with Ni Rui, Song Tang hastily left Hong Kong.

  "Hey, my dear boss, you've finally arrived." Song Tang came to the company the next day after returning from Hong Kong to Los Angeles without taking a rest.

  "What's wrong, George? I'm not in the company for a while, it's not good" Song Tang smiled and looked at the busy crowd walking back and forth in the company. These people didn't stop their work because of their boss's arrival, which made Song Tang nod slightly.

  "No, no, no boss, although your leaving the company won't affect it much, there are still some things that need to be taken care of by you. Mr. Stevie has come looking for you several times already."

  "Oh" After hearing George's words, Song Tang just realized that the script of "Schindler's List" he had promised to give to Stevie hadn't been sent yet. It seemed this Jewish old man was really anxious this time. "Hehe, it seems Stevie is also somewhat impatient."

  "Yes, boss, these days you're not here, Mr. Stevie basically goes to some Jewish associations in the United States every day, and then comes back to the company to see if you've returned." George nodded after hearing Song Tang's words, George could tell that Stevie was very eager to shoot this film, which George could see from Stevie's application every time he came to the company.

  "Haha, this old Jew, doesn't need to be so troublesome, fortunately I finished the script early" Song Tang shook his head helplessly, then put the script of "Schindler's List" on the table and said to George: "George, what Stacy needs is here, if she comes again, just give it to her directly. By the way, George, 'Casablanca' has also been taken offline from the cinema."

  "Yes, boss. Although 'Return to Reno' can't be compared with 'Jurassic Park', considering its limited investment, it's very successful. The global box office of $210 million has exceeded our expectations." Song Tang couldn't help but admire the young boss in front of him. Among the four films invested by the company in the past two years, not only were 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Shawshank Redemption' classics, but even the small films 'Low Class' and 'Return to Reno' had achieved impressive results.

  "Well, not bad" Song Tang heard George's introduction and was suddenly shocked. This was indeed a bit beyond Song Tang's expectations. Although Song Tang also knew that relying on his own appeal, "Emotional Return to Reno" would achieve good results, but he didn't expect it to be this good.

  $210 million at the box office, for a film that cost less than $10 million to make, is quite impressive. Although "Return to Reno" doesn't have any particularly brilliant moments, it still brings people a kind of romantic tourism craze.
