Montreal is known as Little Paris in North America, and the nights are quite lively, which coincides with Paris. Against the backdrop of the shining neon lights, the European-style buildings around it appear in confusing colors. A few tables and chairs are placed on the street, which makes a very good cafe. There are customers sitting in groups of three or three, drinking drinks and chatting leisurely, which feels like the streets of Paris in the movie.

Xu Zhengdao and Jiang Tianxing followed Jiang Zhiqiang all the way and came to a bar street. The street was particularly lively. In addition to all kinds of young people, there were also various roadside performances. The bars on the street were colorful, and in addition to ordinary bars, there were also gay bars with pictures of macho showing muscles.

Jiang Zhiqiang and Xu Zhengdao and the others walked into a bar called Harbor, which is a bar run by Hong Kong people. Xiangjiang filmmakers took the movie to Montreal for screening and often drank here. When they walked into the bar, Xu Zhengdao found that there were two dancers wearing three-point styles on the bar stage, posing in a pose, which looked extremely charming under the colorful lights.

Xu Zhengdao and the others were about to find a seat when suddenly someone waved to them: "Boss Jiang! Boss Jiang!"

Xu Zhengdao looked up and saw that there were two Chinese in their forties, one of whom was wearing glasses and the other had long hair. The two looked very similar, and they should be twin brothers.

Jiang Zhiqiang said to Xu Zhengdao and the others, "We're over", and took them over.

When he came to the brothers, Jiang Zhiqiang introduced: "Zhengdao, Tianxing, let me introduce you to you. These two are the famous directors of Xiangjiang. The brother Peng Shun wearing glasses is Peng Shun, and the younger brother with long hair is Peng Fa." He also said to the Peng brothers: "This is Xu Zhengdao, this is Jiang Tianxing. Their movie "No. 32 in Area B" was shortlisted for the competition unit of this film festival."

Xu Zhengdao is not unfamiliar with the famous Peng brothers. The Peng brothers are from Xiangjiang. The older brother Peng Shun was one of the best film colorists in Asia as early as the early 1990s. The younger brother Peng Faze is one of the best editors in Xiangjiang. The "Infernal Affairs" trilogy was written by him and won the Best Editing Award for the Xiangjiang Golden Star Award.

In 1999, the Peng brothers jointly filmed the Thai film "Silent Fire". This stylized gangster action film became very popular as soon as it was released and won international reputations for the Peng brothers. In addition to winning the Thai Academy Awards, such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Editing, it also won the Foreign Film Critics Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.

After becoming famous in Thailand, the Peng brothers were invited back to Xiangjiang by director Chen Kexin to direct the movie "Hell". In 2002, the Peng brothers and Li Xinjie's golden triangle combination made a hit, successfully creating a new thriller genre in the Hong Kong film industry, and gained unprecedented box office and good reputation.

Xu Zhengdao and Jiang Tianxing greeted the Peng brothers enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Peng Shun! Hello, Mr. Peng Fa! I have read your "Hello" and I am very happy to know you."

Although the Peng brothers felt that Xu Zhengdao and the others were too young to make a good movie, they were brought by Jiang Zhiqiang after all, so they did not dare to neglect them. They smiled and said, "I'm very happy to know you. Boss Jiang, there are two more you can sit down and chat."

After sitting down, Xu Zhengdao and the Peng brothers talked about their respective movies. The story of "The Ten Methods of Destiny" by Peng brothers is quite strange. It tells a Thai young man who accidentally bought a book called "The Ten Methods of Destiny" which lists ten ways to see ghosts. He and his friends played the ghost game according to the methods in the book, and eventually died one by one. Xu Zhengdao was quite impressed after hearing the description of the Peng brothers. The two brothers had a rich imagination and could actually come up with so many strange ways to see ghosts.

The Peng brothers were also very surprised after listening to the story of "No. 32 in Area B". They thought that Xu Zhengdao was so young and there were no ghosts in mainland movies, so it was difficult to make excellent horror movies; they did not expect that Xu Zhengdao's story was so unique and creative.

As a horror film veteran, Peng Fa sincerely said: "Your movie is very low and your creativity is very good. If the movie is of good quality and the audience responds well, you may be attracted by Hollywood and buy the copyright of the remake!"

Xu Zhengdao was slightly stunned: "Copyright for remake?"

Peng Shun knew that Xu Zhengdao was Chu Ge, and didn't know the Hollywood market, so he said: "Asian horror movies are not easy to sell in Europe and the United States, and basically all buy movies are small companies. After they buy them, they rarely release DVDs, and they basically release horror movies. Horror movies don't cost much to be sold overseas. There may be only one kind of thing that can be sold at a high price, that is, European and American film companies like your movies, buy them and remake them!"

The Peng brothers quickly started to popularize science for Xu Zhengdao and the others, telling the trend of Asian horror film remakes that have emerged in Hollywood in recent years.

After entering the new millennium, Hollywood fell into a script shortage. Due to the lack of good scripts, Hollywood turned its attention to Asia and looked for excellent movie remakes from Asia. In 2002, DreamWorks remakes "Midnight Bell" achieved an amazing box office of 100 million US dollars after it was released in North America. The subsequent remakes of "Grudges" and "Ghost Water and Fierce Spirit" also achieved success.

Due to the successful remake of horror films, Hollywood has been shopping for horror films in Asia. Copyrights of excellent horror films from Hong Kong, South Korea, Thailand and other regions have been bought and are preparing to be remake into Hollywood movies.

The Peng brothers are beneficiaries of the Hollywood remake trend. The horror film "Hell" they filmed in 2002 was bought by Hollywood, produced by Tom Cruise and Wagner, and is expected to start next year.

When he heard that the Peng brothers' "Hell" was bought back and remake by Hollywood, Tom Cruise was produced by producer, Xu Zhengdao sincerely said: "You are so amazing. The copyright of "Hell" was actually bought by Tom Cruise." He said curiously: "Tom Cruise asked you to buy the copyright of "Hell" for you, it should cost a lot, right?"

Peng Shun smiled proudly: "It's okay, "Hell" sold for $1.5 million. "Hell" was not very high. "Infernal Affairs" sold for 1.75 million, and "Red Lotus" in South Korea sold for 2 million. In fact, there is another advantage to buy Hollywood to remake. If it remakes your movie, you are the movie screenwriter. According to Hollywood regulations, the screenwriter can share the profit of movie box office, as well as the sales and rental profit of video tapes and DVDs. According to the screenwriter's contribution to the script, the three most important screenwriters can sign and get the share. The share ratio is 3% of the profit of three screenwriters, and the video tapes and DVDs seem to be 1.2%, but in short, they can share the money."

Xu Zhengdao said enviously: "So that's the case. It would be great if "No. 32, District B," could be bought by Hollywood for remake. I don't expect to sell it for 1 million, or $5600,000."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and comforted: "Although there are not many filmmakers in the Canadian Fantasy Film Festival, they are all filmmakers interested in horror and fantasy. South Korea's "Red Lotus" was screened in Canada and was spotted by Hollywood filmmakers. Your story sounds very novel and very distinctive, and you may really be attracted to it."

The Peng brothers also have the same view: "Now the Hollywood horror movie routines have been played, and it is getting harder to scare the audience, so they go to Asia to find scripts crazily. Your story is very novel, and ghosts are shot through surveillance, which is something that horror movies did not have in the past. If your movies are made well enough, it will definitely attract the attention of Hollywood filmmakers."

Xu Zhengdao was very moved. If his movie could be noticed by Hollywood filmmakers, he would buy it and remade it. Not to mention one million US dollars, it would be 500,000 yuan, which would be 4 million yuan, and his investment in his new film would be completely solved.

However, he knew that it was not easy to be attracted by Hollywood producers. There were hundreds of movies displayed at the film festival, and only movies that were outstanding and eye-catching enough could attract the attention of Hollywood filmmakers. He and Jiang Tianxing had already discussed that they would make some noise at the film festival. Now he was more convinced that he would make noise at the film festival and thus attract the attention of Hollywood filmmakers.

The Peng brothers chatted with Xu Zhengdao and the others for a while, and then ran to pick up girls.

Seeing the Peng brothers sitting beside two foreign girls wearing exposed clothes talking, Jiang Tianxing shook his head, looked as if nothing had happened, and asked: "Mr. Jiang, will the actors of the crew of "A's Sister-in-law" come to Montreal?"

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't understand the crew of "A's Sister" and could not give an answer: "I don't know this."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Jiang Tianxing's eyes, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Xu Zhengdao was a little surprised and thought to himself that "Assan" has anything to do with Lao Ye. He seemed to care about the actors of this movie. However, he did not ask what happened. With Jiang Tianxing's personality, it would have been a long time since he was willing to say it.

Not long after, the Peng brothers came over with a foreign girl, greeted Jiang Zhiqiang, and then left with the foreign girl. The two foreign girls looked quite average, but their figures were extremely hot, both of Ye Zimei. Looking at the anxious expressions of the Peng brothers, you can't wait to pull the foreign girl to the hotel to practice the Peng family's shooting skills.

Xu Zhengdao was a little surprised: "They are so powerful that they got two foreign girls so quickly."

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, "No matter how big or small the film festival, there will be a lot of beautiful girls during the film festival. They look forward to being discovered by producers and directors, taking them into the film and television industry and realizing their dream of stardom. During the film festival, it is not difficult to find a few beautiful girls to sleep. However, it is more difficult for Chinese people, after all, you can't give them the resources they want."

Xu Zhengdao said in surprise: "But why did Peng Shun and the others take it away so easily?"

Jiang Zhiqiang explained: "The two of them have entered Hollywood. Nicholas Cage has taken a fancy to their "Silent Fire", bought the copyright of the remake, and invited them to direct it; there is also a Hollywood producer who invited them to direct a Hollywood horror film. Recently, they have been busy with their new films in the United States. They just need to highlight their identities and tell each other that they are casting a movie in Hollywood recently. Is it still difficult to take two girls away?" He looked at Xu Zhengdao and joked: "You are so young and look good, so it shouldn't be difficult to take a girl away."

Jiang Tianxing is a famous nightclub little prince, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, right, do you want to take two foreign girls to a hotel? With your ability to deceive, it is definitely no problem to take two foreign girls to check in a room."

"I only have how to sell movies in my heart now." Xu Zhengdao came to Canada to sell movies and find investments. Now Jiang Zhiqiang is right in front of him. He didn't have the heart to pick up girls. He smiled at Jiang Zhiqiang and said, "We are very confident in our movies, but we don't have the experience of selling movies, and we always feel like we are full of things."
