My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 115 Holding high and stepping low, film appointments continue

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
"Several film companies are interested in casting for you, and Antai has received several film offers today..."

Jiang Zhiqiang threw the cigar to Wu Xiaozu, and casually put a stack of materials in front of Wu Xiaozu, jokingly said, "Now you are attracting attention, do something, you make up your own mind. Anyway, you like to do things."

Wu Xiaozu ignored these film appointments.

A few months ago, after his first film "Rainy Night Butcher" sold well at the box office, many filmmakers and film companies offered him film contracts.How can I escape this time?

A director like Wu Xiaozu who is handsome and can make money will naturally be remembered even more.

Wu Xiaozu's two films in a row were big hits, and the last one was 1012 million, which was enough to enter the top 1986 box office charts in [-].

If this is just luck, then the big sales of "The Birth of a Prefix" is undoubtedly enough to prove Wu Xiaozu's strength.

When you see a high, you worship, and when you see a low, you step on it.

This is the entertainment industry!

Wu Yusen is like this, even Wu Xiaozu can't escape.

Some people may wonder, two films have already sold well, so why seek investment?Wouldn't it be nice to make your own film?

Of course not!

First of all, movies are business.There are risks in doing business, and the ratio of investment and return is a matter that needs to be considered.Financing filming is the most common phenomenon in the entertainment industry.

Wu Xiaozu would not be so stupid as to solely fund the filming.Borrowing chickens to lay eggs has always been his principled insistence.

The second point is that there is no place in the entertainment industry to eat alone. The movie "The Birth of a Prefix" was a big hit, and Antai and 1024 were not the only ones who got it.The real big heads are Debao and Princess Jin.

If "The Birth of a Prefix" is not given to Debao and Princess Jin this time, do you really think this movie will easily defeat "Yi Gai Yun Tian"?

That's Zhou Runfa!That's Golden Harvest Cinemas!
Now Fa Ge's salary alone exceeds 300 million!It is enough to prove his box office appeal.

Wu Xiaozu's small tricks are the backhand, but the escort of Debao and Princess Jin is the real general trend.

In this circle, many times it is not that if you don’t provoke others, you will be fine.Sometimes, you make money by provoking them.Because you made them red-eyed.

Take a look at how the filmmakers in the entertainment circle survived one by one?
Tsui Hark, Wu Yusen, Zeng Zhiwei, including later Chen Kexin, Du Dapao, Liu Weifan... Everyone's deeds have a sense of legend.

But Wu Yusen is still honestly fighting with Tsui Hark, while changing the script helplessly.

What about Tsui Hark?
He also asked his grandfather to sue his grandmother for investment.

Reborn people are no better than them at this point.Filmmakers are born to belong to the "Party B" of heaven!
When I am not qualified to break through the cover of the flourishing leaves and can welcome the sunshine independently, the best way is to learn Ling Xiaohua.

At this time, the three giants not only control the theater resources, but also look at the box office trend of "The Birth of a Prefix".

Compared with the real three theater chains, the small theater An Tai patched together is really shabby.

Without Debao, "The Birth of a Prefix" would not have contributed such an amazing box office in the early days.

Without the Golden Princess, the film's box office wouldn't have skyrocketed.In addition, the resources of the cast and crew are also in their hands.

Even if Wu Xiaozu made a movie into a flower, it might not be as good as Huang Baiming gathered a few big stars to make a family-friendly "Happy Family".

Nowadays, most of the film contracts of big stars on Hong Kong Island are signed by film companies.

Zhou Runfa's film contract was signed in New Art City.Zhang Guoying also signed a play contract to the film studio.Even Liu Dehua made a potential play appointment with manager Zhang Guozhong's Yineng Film Company.

Star resources are the most important resources for film shooting.

Many people in later generations blindly ignore a group of actors who are very, very suitable for the role when some great directors they admire choose actors, and instead choose a group of stars.

Also when shooting a blockbuster movie, Wu Xiaozu will also choose those stars who have their own box office.How can the box office appeal of Wang Qianyuan, Qin Ritian, and Zhang Yi compare with Huang 173?How can you compare with traffic stars?
In the entertainment circle, fame is a very important resource.

For a simple-minded person like Wu Xiaozu, of course he wants to take advantage of it, and he also wants to take advantage of it if he has no advantage.

Taking advantage of this kind of thing is enough to engrave in the blood of 1024 locomotive company.

...

New Art City.

"Wu Xiaozu?"

Because it was dark, a marinated egg stood by the window and muttered to himself.

"You want to hire him to make a film?"

Zeng Zhiwei was sitting on the sofa, his whole body was immersed in it, his two calves touched the ground with his toes pointing, "This guy has sold two movies in a row, so sharp. If you start a movie with him, you can make money!"

"That's right, even a new rock band called Beyond has benefited from his movie recently. Several episodes are very popular in the music circle."

On the other sofa, Teddy Robin dangled in the air with his feet in the air, smiling calmly with his mouth slanted, "Now that he has sold two movies in a row, there is no reason why he should not be praised."

The two people who are shorter and the other shorter have a feeling of wanting to compare themselves with the God of Heaven.

Today's New Art City basically only has three shareholders, Mecca, Huang Baiming and Ishida.Zeng Zhiwei had already defected to Sanmao, and Teddy Robin just ignored the "government".Let the three of them toss.

Like many successful start-ups, Xinyi City is not difficult to share weal and woe, because everyone has nothing but passion.

But with the uneven distribution of benefits, this passion will be slowly cooled by benefits.

When talking about New Art City, many people say that the distribution of benefits is uneven.This is indeed true.

But if the three people are truly evenly distributed, will they definitely go on?

the answer is negative!

If the three shareholders, Mecca, Huang Baiming, and Ishida, really have an average interest, I am afraid it will be worse than this time.

Since ancient times, there has been no problem of uneven benefits.

Mecca is interested in making a big-budget movie.He has always firmly believed that big productions, big casts, and big lineups are the way out for New Arts City.

Ishida recently worked with Tsui Hark on "The True Colors of Heroes 2", and Huang Baiming continued his small and medium production comedy route.There are fundamental differences in the creative ideas and business ideas of the three people.

Mecca admires Wu Xiaozu very much.

He thinks that Wu Xiaozu's group P...play ability is very strong.It is even said that in the Hong Kong film circle, the brilliance of the group drama shown in "The Birth of a Prefix" is hard for many people to hold a candle to, and it is difficult to pick up soap.

This kind of group play is also very suitable for commercial large-scale productions.

But there is one thing that makes Mecca very hesitant, that is, Wu Xiaozu's movie style is too obvious.From "Rainy Night Butcher" to "The Birth of a Prefix" all have obvious personal marks.

A director whose personal style is too obvious is not a commendatory term for a commercially produced movie.

Thinking about the name of Wu Xiaozu's New Wave, Mecca's heart is so tired.

It's a pity that a good commercial director insists on joining the New Wave team——

It is indecisive not to mention Mecca.

Many people actually regard Wu Xiaozu as a piece of sweet pastry, wishing to have a bite.

The previous Item Thirteen was not the first, nor will it be the last.

Even Deng Guangrong had this idea.

"The Birth of a Prefix" has not yet been released, Wu Xiaozu has received a lot of investment and drama appointments like a snowflake.
