Chapter 44 Methods and Schedule
Tang Long always felt that Liu Jialing and Fan Bingbing were somewhat similar.
They are all female celebrities who are frequently in the news and have a lot of buzz. They are all very beautiful and have a strong presence among female celebrities.
Their influence extends beyond their works; it also comes from public events.
Therefore, Tang Long felt that Liu Jialing could follow some of the paths that Fan Bingbing took in later generations.
"Now...now you can tell me, right?"
"Couldn't you take a break first? You're saying all this right after it's over. Can't you at least enjoy the afterglow?"
Tang Long's breathing was also somewhat rapid.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy this later, so tell me what the method is."
Unable to resist Liu Jialing's persistent pestering, he picked up the water from the bedside table, took a sip, and said seriously:
Have you noticed that the outfits worn by celebrities attending the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony are relatively simple?
"It's not simple either; everyone's dressed quite formally these days."
Tang Long was momentarily speechless, as he was judging by the standards of later generations.
The Hong Kong Film Awards will be held for the tenth time now, and it has long since moved beyond its early days as a makeshift organization, becoming more and more formal.
It has now become a major film event attracting attention throughout Hong Kong.
When everyone first came to the awards ceremony, they were all dressed simply, or rather, casually.
Chow Yun-fat, for example, went directly from the film set to the awards ceremony, and then went on stage in a worn-out trench coat to accept the Best Actor award.
As the Hong Kong Film Awards gain more influence, people are starting to pay more attention to their image.
Even if they don't dress up in their finest attire, male and female celebrities will at least wear formal dresses.
But in Tang Long's view, this was still somewhat simple.
In later generations, various high-profile galas became stages for female stars to compete for attention, each with their own unique and ingenious costumes.
Liu Jialing could definitely make a difference with her clothing and styling.
As long as she is dazzling and stands out from the crowd, she will definitely become a hot topic in major media reports.
"That's too simple. My approach is that if you can't beat your opponent on the court, you can win them off the court."
Go and have an absolutely stunning evening gown custom-made, then hire a reliable stylist to dress you up nicely.
When she walks the red carpet, she will definitely outshine everyone else.
All the media attention is on you; even the Best Actress award might not be as popular as you.
What kind of absolutely eye-catching evening gown?
Faced with Liu Jialing's questioning gaze, Tang Long didn't know how to explain:
"Give me your evening gown, and I promise you won't be disappointed."
He doesn't understand design, but he still has some impression of Fan Bingbing's several gowns and looks that made a splash on the red carpet.
There are many custom-made clothing stores in Hong Kong. I will tell them my requirements and they should be able to make it.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jialing became somewhat restless again.
This startled Tang Long.
How long has it been?
You've recovered, but I haven't.
"Stop fooling around."
"I didn't cause any trouble."
"It's no use making a fuss; people need to rest."
"Really? I don't believe it."
After speaking, Liu Jialing bent down.
Tang Long gently stroked her disheveled hair, and sighed:
"It's been more than half a month since we last met, and I think you've been enduring even more hardship than I have."
"Ah Long, how about I register with your company?"
"What, are you trying to cling to me?"
"I'm just sticking with you. I feel like you have some ideas. I don't know if your method will work, but at least you genuinely care about me."
I've realized that going it alone really doesn't work. Being affiliated with your company means you'll think of me when you have new projects.
Even if you're not working at my company, I'll still be thinking about you.
My company is just an empty shell; there's no one there except me. Whether you join or not makes no difference.
Seeing that she was about to speak again, Tang Long interrupted her and continued:
"Don't worry, after the Hong Kong Film Awards, there will definitely be many companies asking you to make movies."
I'm still working alone right now and can't really take care of you. Even if my company starts operating, I'm not planning to sign anyone.
"If my new film projects are suitable, I will contact you as soon as possible."
"All right."
Seeing his words, Liu Jialing had no choice but to give up, but she was clearly not in a good mood.
"Are you crazy? If you break it, you're going to pay me back?"
Seeing his anxious expression, Liu Jialing couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'll support you even if you cut off your support."
"Who wants you to support them?"
Tang Long realized that he could never be lazy, because if he was lazy, he would lose the initiative.
As he stood up and regained control, he said:
"This is where your happiness lies; no matter how much you take care of me, you can never make up for it."
Liu Jialing dared not be arrogant anymore.
But the consequence was that the next day he arrived at the film studio with dark circles under his eyes, needing to support his back from time to time, and looking exhausted.
Xu Ke had some free time, and Wu Siyuan was also there.
The three discussed the scheduling of "New Dragon Gate Inn".
"What's wrong with you? Did you steal a dog again last night?"
"What do you mean 'again'? It just means you didn't sleep well."
Both of them were experienced and could tell what was wrong with Tang Long at a glance.
Wu Siyuan smiled and said:
"Young people should exercise restraint, otherwise they will easily lose their strength when they reach my age."
As he spoke, he shook the thermos cup containing goji berries and other medicinal herbs.
Tang Long wasn't worried about this. He could clearly feel that after transmigrating, both his needs and abilities had become much stronger.
In his previous life, he couldn't last more than ten minutes, but now, if he deliberately controls himself, he can last for more than half an hour, and he recovers very quickly.
Liu Jialing alone was no match for him.
The two teased Tang Long for a bit before getting down to business.
"Post-production on 'New Dragon Gate Inn' is almost finished, and the final cut will be available in two or three days."
Do you think it's necessary to release the movie during the summer season?
There's one more thing I need to mention in advance: Golden Harvest has scheduled "Once Upon a Time in China" for release on August 12th.
"Director Xu, so you're not really in favor of releasing the film during the summer season?"
"That's right, the competition during the summer movie season is too fierce. In addition to 'Once Upon a Time in China,' there's Stephen Chow's 'Fight Back to School,' Ringo Lam's 'Prison on Fire II,' and Raymond Lam's 'To Be Number One.'"
These are all blockbuster films, although "New Dragon Gate Inn" has received considerable attention.
However, it still lags behind these other films.
It's really not worth trying to confront them head-on, and there's no need to.
