PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
In the conference room of Locomotive Film Company, Li Licheng, Luo Dong, Jiang Zhiqiang, Zhang Jiazhen, Li Jinwen, Cui Baozhu, Yu Weiguo, Le Yiling, Liu Weimei, Qiu Litao, Liu Zhenwei and others sat in a circle.

"This time during the Spring Festival, Huang Baiming's face turned pale. Did you see how stiff his mouth was when he was being interviewed?"

"This time your Ace of Spades did well. I heard that the sales of the video tapes are quite impressive."

"Bad Monkey's online box office is not bad."

"Golden Harvest is still great, and the box office appeal of Big Nose Dragon is really the number one among Chinese."

"The Directors Association's Spring Tea Party is really authoritative enough, and it is estimated that it will really become the wind vane of the Academy Awards!"

Liu Weichen rested one arm on the back of the sofa, with a big horse and a cigar in his mouth, and glanced at Mai Zhaohui and Ye Weisi who were not far away, "Ah Hui and Amin won the new director this time." , the Academy Award is probably a sure thing."

Sitting a few seats away, Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weimin instantly received the envious eyes of other newcomer directors.

"Dark Flower" is considered a success at the box office, but it is the film skills and standards shown in this film that are truly recognized by insiders.

Although everyone knows that this is a work with the distinct label of "Wu Xiaozu", but Mak Siu-fai and Lau Wai-yen are directors after all, and they deserve the title of Best New Director.

Of course, the box office of this film is definitely insufficient compared to other commercial films.

But as someone said: A movie with a high box office is not necessarily a high-level one.

For example, although Zhou Xingxing's movies are doing very well at the box office at this stage, but what camera language, film techniques, etc. do you want to talk about... don't talk about it.People in the film business don't recognize him...

This time, seven Directors Guild Awards were presented.

The best promotional film award of the year was awarded to Xu Anhua's film "A Journey of Love", the best director of the year was awarded to Tsui Hark, the new directors were awarded to Mak Siu-fai and Liu Weiming, and the best new actor was awarded to Li Xiao As you wish, the best actor of the year was awarded to Liang Chaowei, and the best actress of the year was awarded to Zheng Yuling.

The final annual honor award was awarded to Chairman Wu Xiaozu for the first time.

Don't just sit and watch the basic exercises.

The award presentation by the Directors Association is also known as the wind vane of the Golden Image Awards. After all, the main body of the preparations for the Golden Image Awards is promoted by the Directors Association. Many directors themselves are members of the Preparatory Committee for the Golden Image Awards. Although they do not involve the jury, they have a great influence …

The Golden Statue Award is the palace of Chinese-language films, but there is nothing wrong with it. In this era, Hong Kong films occupy the right time, place and people.

Even if President Wu keeps pushing, he can't smooth out this gully in a short time.In order for the Golden Image Awards to develop, it is necessary to mobilize the entire Chinese-language film industry, and at the same time, it must be relatively fair, just and open, formulate rules that are in line with interests, and then continue.

"New year and new weather, the Academy Award is very important, but if we want to continue the achievements, we still need everyone to work hard."

Sir Jiang was biting his cigar and fiddling with the tea tray with both hands.

"After the Spring Festival, the most important movie is the release of "Seven Sins". This movie has won enough amazing box office in Southeast Asia and North America. I think it is basically enough to stand out from the crowd in the off-season, but should we move it to the summer vacation? file?" Le Yiling asked curiously: "After all, the box office of this movie is too good in other places."

"No, Director Wu's point is to release it as soon as possible, so as not to affect the company's layout. Besides, this movie is really not suitable for the atmosphere of summer vacation."

Zhang Jiazhen waved his hand, "Just follow the normal schedule."

In March, the company will release five films including "Seven Sins", "Yin Yang Road 3", "When the Peach Is About to Ripe", "Can't Help", "A Gentleman Under Boots 3", and "Letter Circle: Training from K2 to K0". As for the films that are responsible for distribution, they are not counted.

After experiencing the family carnival during the Spring Festival, the company focused on the feature film "Seven Sins", and by the way used "Yin Yang Road 3" to attract a wave of small-budget horror fans.

Finally, its subsidiary Xinyi City launched "Peach", Jianghu Emergency launched "Can't Help", "A Gentleman Under Boots 2", "Letter Circle: Training from K0 to K9", making Li Liyan, Ye Yuqing, Tong Ling, and Zheng Yanli sexy The introduction of actresses is enough for LSPs to pay out of their own pockets.

Its lll-level movie stars have been cultivated for many years, and they are proud of Hong Kong Island.

Ye Yuqing, Tong Ling, Ye Zimei, Zheng Yanli, Guo Xiuyun, and the newly signed Li Liyan, etc., are absolutely luxurious all-star lineup. In Feicheng's words, after the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing series, he plans to imitate the "God of Gamblers" to open a " lll-level universe', and even tried to shoot the 'adult version' of the popular movie in the market.

"The Temptation of a Chinese Girl", "The Hero Benser", "Double Breasts", "The Figure of Suspect S", "Dragon's Nest Inn", "Summer Clothes", "The Story of Police Flower"...and so on.

The adult empire is only one step away...

Recently, he has also started to select suitable actresses from Japan and South Korea to come to Hong Kong to film, and then counter-import them in culture.In short, as long as the audience likes it, he will definitely provide it and serve as the porter of LSPs.

"However, this year's film arrangement must be strict. By the way, Liu sir, I asked you about the release date of "Evil and West Poison" produced by you. Do you have time?" Yu Weiguo took the initiative to ask the old god Liu Zhenwei, who was present, asked, "I have to do market research and publicity preparations. At the same time, the pre-roll ads and trailers need to be edited in advance. You'd better give me some materials in advance."

(⊙o⊙)...?
A trace of panic flashed across Liu Zhenwei's chubby face.

The crew of "Evil, West, Poison" spent the Chinese New Year in the mainland... However, every time he asked his friends on the phone, the answer he got was that he was in the middle of filming, and when he asked the production director, the other party hesitated. He had no choice but to fly to the mainland by himself...

The film crew was in disarray.

The progress of one or two shots per day, in Wang Jiawei's words, is that he feels that these actors have too many performance marks, and he needs to wear off their long-term "patterns" and let them loose all the mature skills they have mastered. ...

Ask again?

To ask again is to wait.

"The summer schedule may be a bit late, I think the second half of the year should be fine." Liu Zhenwei said with a forced smile, "After all, this drama has mobilized actors and staff from both Hong Kong Island and the Mainland, and Wang Jiawei is not as good as Sir Wu. That method, so I think it will be the end of this year..."

"Jiawei's filmmaking has always been slow and meticulous. Let's talk about martial arts films, it's understandable. Zu Ge still has a few months to film "Dragon Inn". What's more, this time involves the schedules of many celebrities, even Xiaoxian and Qingxia. Participate in..." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and helped to complete the sentence.

"Yeah." Liu Zhenwei smiled and nodded quickly.

"After all, this drama has attracted a lot of investment. Recently, several companies are interested in discussing financial dispatch with us. Then you can connect with us." Jiang Zhiqiang ordered casually.

"Uh~ good."

Liu Zhenwei couldn't help wiping his sweat as he watched Jiang Zhiqiang say a few words before going to talk to other people about the movie plan to start shooting.

He decided to fly to the Mainland again next year to supervise the production himself.

To be honest, he really didn't know what to do if he wasn't there.

After all, it is an investment of tens of millions.

Although they are all external investments, such a large investment is not a simple matter after all.If these tens of millions are invested in any city in the Mainland, it will definitely not be easy... This is foreign exchange!

What's more, there are support funds from Cannes.

Everyone on the locomotive is discussing the shooting plan for the new year, and the approval of each film project requires a series of procedures to go through.

Especially new directors need the personal support of mature filmmakers.

No matter how talented a director is, he will make many novice mistakes in his debut film.In terms of 'teaching and helping', the locomotive has done a good job.

"SWAT New Man" is scheduled for April, right?"

"no problem."

Mai Zhaohui and Ye Weimin hurriedly got up, "We are now discussing editing issues with Mai Zishan. The promotional materials have been handed over to Sir Yu."

"I will do a patch before "The Seven Sins." Yu Weiguo volunteered.

"Well, after all, this movie is an idol movie that we shot again after "Flash Girl". Xingxing also attaches great importance to this movie. AB has repeatedly emphasized that when editing the movie, we must ensure the actor's appearance. Online. It can be seen from "Flash Girl" that now idols can be transplanted into the film industry..."

Jiang Zhiqiang clamped the cigar between his fingers, and the entire meeting room was filled with smoke. He coughed lightly, "If this drama is successful, then the model of idol traffic + powerful faction + old drama bones will become the company's next profit point."

The assistant turned on the ventilation.

"Everyone, let me remind you that our financial report needs to be announced to shareholders, so I hope everyone can follow the procedures more strictly. Incentives, options, and dividends are all in front, and it depends on whether the standards can be met.

At the same time, here, on behalf of Wu Dong, I would like to say to everyone: No matter who wants to prepare his own studio, the company will support and help in name... In this respect, we will give you a very high level of creative freedom.But we are a listed company after all, so everyone should grasp the profit point, at least let me and the shareholders have a good account. "

Jiang Zhiqiang's words made everyone laugh a few times.

Now the locomotive really wants people and money.

For them, this is really the best creative environment, not to mention, as long as you can be sure that you are really talented, then the company will give you high enough treatment.

Don't be afraid of being underappreciated.

Even, if the people you train and support succeed, you, the master, will get dividends and rewards.

This is also the reason why everyone is willing to support the younger generation.

Of course, this is mainly because the locomotive is still very young and does not have the problems of large companies such as redundant staff.

There will definitely be problems over time, after all, not everyone will always maintain a creative enthusiasm.

But, that's a question for the future.

As long as the balance of interests is maintained and the balance of film profitability is determined, there will be no major problems in a short period of time.

As for whether there will be intrigue?
If there is really no, Wu Xiaozu may not be able to sleep.

PS: There are more.
