Chapter 125 Investment and IP Concepts
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!

A red shadow sped across the street.

A bright red convertible version of Honda (Toyota) MR2, the two erected jumping lights on the front face are very eye-catching, and it has a unique sense of sports car pedigree.

The car door opened, and a man with broad shoulders, waist, hips, and long legs lazily stepped forward with a cigarette in his mouth.The black toad frame is on the high bridge of the nose, and the upper body is covered with a retro airborne jacket with a large lapel, lined with a round-neck black army fan T-shirt.

The lower body is worn out blue jeans, the trouser legs are slightly rolled up, and a pair of camel high-top Martin boots are worn under the feet.

"piu—"

Half of the cigarette butt flicked casually, and it just fell into the trash can next to it.

"Jiang Sheng, do you have it?"

"vomit--"

A pair of short legs, lingering in the air for two seconds, finally stepped on the ground, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was a bit shorter, covered his mouth and went straight to the trash can.The acid water instantly extinguished the cigarette butt.

"The car will send you off, and my life will be mine!"

Jiang Zhiqiang straightened his waist and said in a bad mood, "It's just an MR2. You like sports cars. I'll give you a Porsche in the future. Don't be so risky? Drive so fast, be careful of being copied..."

"You're just driving slowly."

Wu Xiaozu shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Isn't it just to send me an MR2 in a hurry back to Hong Kong Island?"

"I don't want to go back—"

Jiang Zhiqiang picked up a stack of newspapers from the car seat, "Do you really think that Wanwan is closed to the outside world? If I don't come back, how can I see such wonderful news? Fortunately, I came back early, and I'm afraid I won't see you if I'm late." Street. Do you know how many fans of Lin Qingxia want to hack you to death?"

"Jiang Sheng, if you don't kill me, it's OK." Wu Xiaozu accepted the newspaper with a smile.

"Lin Qingxia's New Romance?The two are lingering and passionate! "

"New wave newcomer director is one dragon and two phoenixes, Lin Qingxia is crazy about love! "

"The goddess fell in love with the poor boy, Lin Qingxia pouted her buttocks to laugh at you. "

Wu Xiaozu turned to the last picture, it was the picture of Lin Qingxia half squatting, pouted with peaches, looking up and smiling, staring at herself.In the picture, Lin Qingxia's eyes are full of affection, which has a special feeling of Mary Su.It's like using a front and rear 2000 million soft light dual camera, the photos are beautiful, and there is a feeling of love.

"Goddess Lalin goes into the water like this, be careful that there will be five thunders and bombs in the future, and you will be punished!"

Jiang Zhiqiang shook the stand-up collar of the long windbreaker, and said teasingly, "Aren't you afraid that your family Wang Zuzhu will come back from Wanwan to ask the teacher?"

Fishy wet kiss mouth?

Wu Xiaozu asked seriously, "I fell into the water myself, why didn't you tell me?"

"You are a sailor, are you still afraid of falling into the water?" Jiang Zhiqiang dissed angrily, and then changed his voice, "Actually, the main purpose of my coming back this time is because of "Life, Death, Wealth and Wealth"!"

"?"

"This film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival. It will have a great stimulating effect on the foreign market. Originally, I wanted to accompany you to Nantes, France... Now it seems that it will be difficult for you to leave It's..."

Jiang Zhiqiang took the mineral water handed over by Wu Xiaozu, took a sip, and continued, "The issue of Wanwan's distribution is almost done. Now I'm talking with Cai Songlin about Jiahui's unblocking..."

"How's it going?"

"Big things are to be expected."

Hearing this, Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, finally hearing good news.

This morning, Lin Qingxia's scandal with him can be said to have heated up the entire entertainment page.The news about the director of the new play who beat the policeman to the producer of Wu Xiaozu also received a lot of attention.

This kind of scandal immediately put many people's calculations on the surface, and made the other party restrained for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Xiaozu naturally has to pay close attention to the implementation of the new film preparation work.

Fei Cheng is the named director of this film, and Liu Weiyu is the executive director, and also serves as the film's camera director.

Qiu Litao served as the assistant director.After he finished filming "Pretty Girl True Story", he was not in a hurry to continue directing independently.Instead, he took the initiative to continue to hone a few movies.This time as the assistant director also readily agreed.

The action guide is in charge of Luo Lizhu.Lighting engineer Zou Lin, cameramen Qian Wenqi and Li Yaohui, the whole team took shape very quickly.

Vaguely, a "Wu family class" with Wu Xiaozu as the core appeared a rudimentary form.Compared with the "Family Class", "Yuan Family Class", "Liu Family Class" and "Hong Family Class", this group is naturally far inferior.

But in terms of its potential, it may not necessarily lose to the above-mentioned film crews.Perhaps the only weakness is that the action and martial arts design is too thin.

However, for Wu Xiaozu who has not yet been involved in the field of real action movies and martial arts movies, his "Wu Family Class" is enough.

After confirming the filming of "Young and Dangerous", Wu Xiaozu rushed to make the shooting plan and simple manuscript needed for filming overnight.

Time was tight and tasks were heavy, Wu Xiaozu could only supplement the script while filming.For Wu Xiaozu, this is really a new attempt.This method of shooting first and then playing is also a very difficult challenge for him.

For this reason, Wu Xiaozu stayed up all night and tried his best to hand-paint dozens of drawings.Fortunately, this play has a previous life to learn from, saving him a lot of things.

Xiang Shisan was the first thing Wu Xiaozu thought of when the project of "Young and Dangerous" was approved!Originally, he was still thinking about how to cooperate with Xiang Sheng.Now it seems that "Young and Dangerous" is undoubtedly a very suitable project.

...

Yongsheng Film Company.

"Young and Dangerous."

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Xiang Sheng read the script carefully and closed the script with a slight smile on his lips, "Director Wu, you mentioned in this shooting outline that you want to make this drama into a series? Can't we talk about it in detail?"

"That's right."

Wu Xiaozu nodded, put down his teacup, and explained, "The main audience of this movie is boys and girls. Rather than saying that this is a gangster movie, it is better to say that this is an idol movie with gangster gimmicks."

"Idol movie?"

Xiang Sheng stroked the bracelet and thought about it for a while, feeling quite fresh.

"I don't know, Xiang Sheng, if you pay attention to the "Happy Ghost" series of New Art City. That drama is actually a typical idol movie. Huang Baiming is very shrewd. They also formed a group of happy girls. We also regard young people as the main audience, so we have no reason not to go this way." Wu Xiaozu stared at Xiang Sheng, chuckled, "I wonder if Xiang Sheng is interested in you?"

Xiang Sheng poured tea for the two of them himself, and said with great interest, "Azu, your speech is so wonderful, there is no reason why I should not hug your thigh, a great leader with thousands of dollars."

"The estimated investment for this movie is between 200 million and 300 million. The cost of the main cast and crew is easy to say, but the main part of this movie is a very important expense..." Jiang Zhiqiang said suddenly.

"Oh……"

Xiang Sheng twitched his fingers on the bracelet, showing a clear smile, "I can think of a way to do some extras. As a person, I like to make friends, and I usually have many young friends, so they can come to play guest roles... "

Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other and smiled slightly.What the two of them were waiting for was Xiang Sheng's words.

"Young and Dangerous" needs Xiang Sheng's words too much!
Since Wu Xiaozu wanted to shoot "Young and Dangerous", he naturally planned to make this series into a series.This is also the plan he wrote down in the shooting outline.

This big cake is drawn, and there is no need to worry about Xiang Sheng's lack of effort.

This type of film would also be a good IP extension for Wu Xiaozu and 1024 Locomotive Film Studio.

As long as the core elements of "Young and Dangerous" can be maintained, 1024 Locomotive will also have the first facade series.There is no movie that is less risky and more lucrative than a sequel to a blockbuster franchise!

This time, 1024 Locomotive Studio, Antai Films, and Yongsheng Films produced and produced it.Yongsheng Film Company invested 120 million, taking 30.00% of the final box office profit.

安泰出资100万，拥有刨除发行、院线分成后的20.00%五。1024火车头出资80万，但占有最高的利润分成40.00%三。

It's not that Wu Xiaozu can't see the benefits of this movie.But at the same time, Wu Xiaozu saw the crisis of this movie.

In the previous life, this series of movies was very popular, not to mention the investment funds of Wang Jing and Wen Jun, it was simply deception.The original author Niu Lao himself is a member of the community.

For such a movie, Wu Xiaozu had to be foolproof in 1986.

Xiang Sheng wants to enter the film industry, and Wu Xiaozu wants someone to escort them. This is called Jinfengyulu, once they meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world!
However, Wu Xiaozu still insisted that the film copyright and other copyrights of "Young and Dangerous" belong to 1024 Locomotive Film Studio.The remaining two have the priority to bid.There are always more than dozens of terms for tripartite cooperation, which seems quite formal.

Avoid being picked on as much as possible.

The background of Yongsheng Film Company provides it with convenience, but it will definitely cause some troubles.In order not to cause trouble, the three parties were extra cautious.

Compared with Xiang Sheng and Jiang Zhiqiang's emphasis on the movie's box office, Wu Xiaozu values ​​the big IP produced by this movie!

Although the concept of IP was not mentioned in the 80s, it has already had a relatively superficial understanding.The two biggest IPs in Hong Kong and Taiwan are Kim Yong and Gu Long.

The investment for the film has been confirmed here, and Liu Weijun and Qiu Litao are also constantly preparing to build a crew.Especially Liu Weizhen, he is very attentive to the drama "Young and Dangerous".Even more caring than the "director" Fei Cheng.

Fei Cheng is also very knowledgeable. Although he bears the name of a director, he is aware of himself.

...

Dragon City Ice Room.

"Brother Zu, how should I choose the characters in this play?"

Liu Weichen supported his glasses, biting Wade's cheek, "I went to Shaw Brothers to find a lot of young and handsome actors according to your instructions, but none of them seem to have the aura of a young and Dangerous boy..."

"What do you guys think of Liu Dehua?" Wu Xiaozu asked while holding his chin.

Liu Dehua?
Qiu Litao and Liu Weiyun looked at each other in blank dismay.

Before they could refute, Wu Xiaozu shook his head first.Hua Tsai, you can ask him to play a small gangster like "Chen Xiaodao", but it seems almost meaningless to ask him to play Chen Haonan.Liu Dehua at this moment is basically equivalent to Li Xiaofeng and Bambi in later generations, and the word acting is insulated from him.

Although Wu Xiaozu doesn't think "Chen Haonan" needs much acting skills!

Zheng Yijian?
Now Zheng Yijian is not as good as Liu Dehua!

"Choose another character first!" Wu Xiaozu thought for a while, "Don't forget to inform Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun..."

Liu Qingyun and Wu Zhenyu are now eighteenth-line actors, and they have just left the category of extras.

　When I came back at night, I saw that there was another leader! !Thank you for the empty lord reward! !Taking advantage of the fact that I just finished the operation, you guys are so dissing me, I don't want to lose face?Don't worry, the surgery injury is healed, I will slowly make up for you.By the way, Amway's "My!Physical Education Teacher" for you, a sweet but not greasy drama, I found that I fell in love with Wang Xiaomi...
