Duang, Duang, Duang...

A man wearing broken sunglasses curled up in a daze in a wooden cage. Someone next to him was hammering nails into the wooden cage, and his swollen eyelids were slightly raised.

The cool wind was harsh, and my whole body was sore.

Slightly bright in the light.

It feels like I'm locked in an enclosed space and moving fast.

"woke up?"

"No."

After answering, both the man who asked the question and Wang Jiawei who answered the question fell silent.

"Director Wang."

"Brother Po...?"

"Gao Lao, why don't you call me Abo." Thirty Lang was a year-old man with a scar between his brows, smoking a cigarette, holding a claw hammer in his hand, staring at Wang Jiawei who was naked and locked in a cage.

"Your "Days of Being Wild" caused the boss to lose 3000 million yuan, and this "Evil and West Poison" lost another hundreds of millions. He can spare you, but those big fishers won't let you go."

"I...I..." Wang Jiawei's face was pale, and he didn't know how to argue.

He just ran away when he heard that someone was going to catch him and feed him to sharks. For this reason, he didn't look for smugglers in Hong Kong but Southeast Asians—but he didn't know that the smuggling and smuggling business on Hong Kong Island is one of them. Leader, he is throwing himself into a trap.

"I'm just a director."

"Don't be modest, the average director can't let a group of big shots lose hundreds of millions."

Abo raised the corner of his mouth and said humorously: "You are also sharper than the big brother Zu. The money lost in the stock market this week is an astronomical figure. You don't have to think about running away. How many people are waiting to use you to calm their anger... ..."

"..."

Wang Jiawei was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"However, I chose a place with good Fengshui for you, Lion Rock, with a bird's-eye view of the entire Hong Kong Island..."

As Abo spoke, he spat on the wooden cage, straightened the nails, and swung the hammer.

Wang Jiawei was so frightened that he roared hysterically.

call--

A cold chain container slowly drove past the traffic jam, with a movie advertisement printed on the body:

"Jianghu Qi, Jianghu Love, Jianghu Dream, December 24th, "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", casting swords to realize dreams, see you soon! 』

This car was a vehicle for promotion in the previous movie. A total of dozens of cars were printed, all of which cost publicity expenses.

"To be honest, "Evil and West Poison" is not ugly. I can only say that the expectations are too high and false propaganda."

Guan Zhilin, who is wearing yoga pants and has a peach buttocks, is fair and beautiful and wears sunglasses, and her best friend Jin Yanling, who is also dressed in sports and carries a sports bag, is waiting for the traffic light on the side of the street.

The two happened to see the promotional box passing by, and Jin Yanling couldn't help expressing emotion: "I bought a VCD two days ago and watched it at home by myself, and I found that I really like this movie. It exudes an addictive temperament, especially suitable for watching alone in bed."

"Is there?" Guan Qiuqiu looked at the box curiously, and vaguely heard someone shouting, but looked left and right at the flow of people on the street, and shrugged secretly, probably because he was hallucinating.

"Have you bought a VCD?"

"Yes, it's really convenient to watch movies. Become a member, rent more than a dozen discs, stay at home alone, curl up on the sofa with a glass of wine, and watch for a whole day. You don't need to dress up unkempt, it's very Comfortable." Jin Yanling added: "Besides, this is more convenient and cheaper than video tapes."

"You are a star~~"

"I'm not being taken advantage of. You think I'm you. I work hard to make money from filming..." Jin Yanling rolled her eyes at the other party.

The two watched the promotional box slowly leave.

Although the air conditioner of the cold chain box is not so full, the sound insulation effect is really good.

People come and go on the street, shuttling endlessly.

The helpless wooden cage moved with the car, and the helpless Wang Jiawei was shivering and calling for help helplessly.

Calling the sky should not call the earth dead.

"Help--"

"cheers--"

In the splendid and brightly lit hotel, Wu Xiaozu smashed and carved it into $100 together with Jerry Bruckheimer, Don Simpson, Sean Connery, Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and others while smiling. , 000 ice sculptures, someone next to them served champagne, and everyone raised their glasses together.

The atmosphere is strong and the face is full of red light.

"Into the Deadly Island" officially broke through the 1 million US dollar mark. This speed has made investors, distributors and theaters all very satisfied. This kind of celebration is indeed for gratitude on the one hand, and at the same time, it can also be used for contact. After all Winner takes all, all participants are winners.

On the other hand, such a celebration is actually a disguised form of publicity for the movie that is being released. After all, holding such a celebration itself is also a part of the publicity plan. I believe that tomorrow, many newspapers will appear on the entertainment pages of this movie celebration banquet news.

that's enough!
In many cases, the factor of human muqiang is engraved in the bones.

The same is true for movies. When a movie’s box office continues to receive good news and it begins to become a topic and phenomenon, every bit of its box office accumulation and topic breaking circle will make more people rush into the movie theater curiously. box office contribution.

What's more, the investors and distributors of this film are all top companies in the industry, which also avoids being stabbed in the back and tripped up.

This is why Wu Xiaozu is willing to cooperate with powerful big companies.

In a foreign country, Wu Xiaozu didn't want to set up a stick by himself, so the best way is naturally to hug his thigh.

Make money, not shabby.

At this moment, Yingying and Yanyan around Wu Xiaozu looked like they were holding a group meeting... the face and neck were similar to the lip marks on the faces of Brother Long's later generations...

No way, American girls are too enthusiastic.

There are many second- and third-tier stars among them.

Their attitude towards Wu Xiaozu can't be said to be respectful, it can only be said that they must be tough when they have the ball.

Don't say that Hollywood directors are not important, but production talents are important... In fact, even in Hollywood, directors who can sell money are still popular, let alone directors like Wu Xiaozu who have been successful for a long time.

"You can take anyone if you want."

Donald Simpson, with Latin back greasy hair, held a wine glass, pointed at Wu Xiaozu with an ambiguous face and pointed at the women around him, "You can excite them like "Rock House Jai"...or we can choose a few together. bit..."

"Rock House Jai" is the theme song made by Hans Zimmer for "Into the Deadly Island". It is still a classic among classics in later generations, and even often appears in many "grandmother" videos.

Of course, another song is more famous - "Hummell Gets The Rockets".

Later, the Finnish heavy metal band Dreamland Legend adapted it into "The dawn", and then the Chinese players chose it as the BGM in the World of Warcraft fan video, which is the famous: "Dead Prelude".

The success of this movie is inseparable from the marketing of movie music.

At the beginning, "Top Gun", which was co-produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, first broke the circle with the popular promotional song "Take My Breath Away".Needless to say, the influence of the year, No. 9 on the Billboard, Best Original Song at the Oscars, Best Original at the Golden Globe Awards, and the simultaneous album won [-] platinum results.

Later generations, in "Short List" magazine, even listed this song as "one of the greatest turning points in the history of music".

In fact, not only in the field of music, but also in the field of film.

On the one hand, "Take My Breath Away" is the forerunner of contemporary movie music videos.Although this song is not the first movie MV in the true sense, it has the greatest influence. Even in order to cooperate with the publicity, before the release of "Top Gun" in 1986, a movie was specially shot for the theme song of the movie. music video...

Top Gun, on the other hand, was a trailblazer in film music marketing.

The instigator was Don Simpson, the leader of the gangster with a corrupt private life.The film music marketing model they created is still a classic marketing strategy even in later generations.

Whether it's Hollywood or Chinese-language movies, releasing songs and MV promotions a few weeks before the release has become an effective marketing tool.

Wu Xiaozu responded with a smile and declined the other party's proposal.

He doesn't want to die so soon...

In later generations, Don Simpson died of "heart failure" in the later stage of the production of "Brave to the Deadly Island" because of X-addiction and corruption in his private life.As for the real cause of death, the dead are the most important~~
It is not a day or two for Los Angeles to get sick.

So, if we really talk about it, Wu Xiaozu can be regarded as making up for the regret of this old hooligan. In his previous life, he did not see the release of "Bravely Entering the Island of Death".

"What's the next plan?"

"I might take a rest first, or go back to Hong Kong Island to relax."

Wu Xiaozu did not mention "My Sassy Girl". This kind of film is not suitable for the North American market. As for films such as "The Truman Show", "Source Code", and "The Matrix", they still need a long time of preparation.

"No, no, no... how can you rest at this time? If you don't make movies, what will North American audiences watch?" Tang Simpson was extremely excited, and reached out to pat Wu Xiaozu's shoulder, "Believe me, keep going, you will be here Get everything you want."

hehe~~
Wu Xiaozu glanced at the other party, and could smell a strange smell from him that even a trace of perfume could not hide.

"Of course I will continue, but human energy is limited..." Wu Xiaozu smiled.

In fact, Wu Xiaozu devoted a lot of energy to filming "Into the Deadly Island", but he was not too tired.

Compared with filming "No Man's Land", this film is naturally much easier.

Compared with actors, the 'honeymoon period' of directors will be longer - before your next movie hits the street, you will be hot, the only difference is how hot you are.

"John talked to me about a project, and I think he knows it well." Jerry Bruckheimer stepped forward in due course.

Compared to his partner, he looked much cleaner - he was holding Xiao Lizi's hand.

Uh... Seeing this, Wu Xiaozu shrugged.

Needless to say, Xiao Lizi is very clean~~ The other party pays great attention to personal hygiene.

At this moment, there was commotion at the door, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
