My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1579 Contradictions are growing, the king of comedy

PS: Ask for a monthly pass!Ask for a monthly pass!

"Are you all right?"

"What should I do?"

"You don't seem to care much about what was in the paper yesterday?"

"So what am I supposed to do? Like an angry groundhog?"

Greenwich Village, the streets are quiet, like a postcard sent to the past.

Audiences who are familiar with American dramas are no strangers to this place. The prototype corner apartment of "Friends" is located in the apartment on the corner of Bedford Street and Grove Street in Greenwich Village, although the film was actually filmed in the studio in Los Angeles...

Greenwich Village belongs to New York's 798.

A red-brick apartment with a fire escape on Bedford Street, with the unobtrusive Let The Bullets Fly name sign on the wall, and the illustrations of Shaw Brothers martial arts movies are simply graffitied on it.

Let The Bullets Fly, like 'Lionsgate', belongs to the Game of Thrones film distribution company. Unlike Lionsgate Films, which targets the North American independent film market, Let The Bullets Fly is a subsidiary of 'Game of Thrones' that focuses on independent films and The film organization of Oriental Thinking Films mainly sponsors, distributes and operates Oriental films to be released in Europe, America and other regions.

Compared with Los Angeles, New York, which has a stronger taste for money, is more friendly to independent films, low-budget films, cult works and international films. The number of institutions showing independent films here even exceeds that of art theaters.

The movie theaters of these institutions are minimalist, often hidden behind a small door in a nondescript side street.

It is not as eye-catching as a movie theater or a video hall, and there are few big signs, and basically no advertisements.

However, it maintains a good reputation in the art circle and niche circles.

Director Wu is also using his own strength to practice his own ideas personally.

Many excellent but niche Hong Kong films, Chinese or Asian films have been introduced to the North American market by him.

Market tested and targeted at different audiences.

Finally, it flows into the video tape market. Compared with the development of VCD in Asia, North American home theaters have a very high penetration rate, and the usage rate of video recorders is significantly higher than that of video discs. Even after the millennium, many families here are still very popular with video tapes.

The third floor is by the window, and the sunlight shines through the shutters on the man who is pruning the flower branches.

Sitting on the red sofa, Zhang Jiazhen, who was drinking a paper cup of coffee with his legs crossed, looked at him jokingly.

The "New York Post" was thrown on the wooden square table, and the English headline read "He is a very good artist, and I am his discoverer!" 』, the content in it is probably an interview with Harvey Weinstein, talking about Wu Xiaozu in front of him.

At the same time, a gossip magazine called "National Enquire" also talked about American independent films, and intercepted the words of the disgusting Wu Xiaozu, the boss of New Line...

The method is that primary school students swear at others.

Oh, yes, the boss of Xinxian is an important advertising funder of "National Enquire".

and,
Recently, in the independent film circle in the United States, Lionsgate, a "dark horse" that suddenly appeared, was recognized and welcomed by independent producers and filmmakers under the endorsement of Wu Xiaozu, a "big guy" from the "independent film circle". Undoubtedly coincides with the development route of the new line.

The business wars in the movie are hackers, spies, cutting funds, intrigues, and various monopoly and anti-monopoly.

In reality, business wars involve pulling the brakes, disconnecting from the Internet, grabbing official seals, rowing seats, and scolding each other in the circle of friends.

Therefore, it is understandable for the boss of Xinxian to criticize Wu Xiaozu in the magazine... In reality, business wars are always so unprepared and unpretentious.

His waist and eyes were sore, he fought hard until the early morning last night, and Wu Xiaozu, who finally threw the soup thickened with thick rice, was holding the shower and looking at the quiet street, he was noncommittal to Zhang Jiazhen's teasing.

He appeared in New York, on the one hand, he couldn't learn Lukaku's five goals, but on the other hand, he dealt with film matters, especially the independent film circle.

There is a set of data in later generations, which proves Harvey's energy in the American independent film circle.

According to foreign media statistics, among the 2015 Oscar acceptance speeches before 1396, Harvey Weinstein was "thanked" more times than God.

By mastering film channels, I have made huge contacts and weaved a huge network.Not only can you hold a celebration banquet for Hillary, but you can also arrange for Paladin's daughter to be a company intern.

If it wasn't for him blocking the way of too many people, jumping repeatedly on ZZ and offending the capital, what the hell happened to catch up with a just right "good opportunity" to let interested people lead him to him through the media... I guess haha Vi will continue.

"Harvey is putting pressure on me." Wu Xiaozu put down the shower and offered to pass the cigarette to the other party.

"Thanks. You mean Leon the Killer?"

"In terms of actor selection, I still prefer Luc Besson's own choice. At the same time, it also makes Harvey understand that sometimes you can't stretch your hands too far." Cooperation, but the competitive relationship is naturally exposed to each other.

This is the inevitable result.

Wu Xiaozu was not surprised by this one.

Even quite rational.

"Yes, the existence of Lions Gate has caused us to have more friction with each other." Zhang Jiazhen nodded, and then pointed at Wu Xiaozu's neck jokingly, "By the way, Xiaoxian has come to New York?"

Wu Xiaozu's face is not red, his heart is not beating, and he doesn't take the bad taste of middle-aged men at all.

But as we all know, there are very few who dare to grow strawberries on Wu Xiaozu's neck... Wang Xianxian, the queen of folk songs, is the biggest supplier.

"How about the actor I put you in touch with?"

"Jim Carrey? The little comedian?"

Zhang Jiazhen put down his coffee, turned his head to the lighter, took a deep breath of cigarette Meimei, and exhaled slowly, "I sent him an invitation through the brokerage company, and I contacted his manager, Jin is running "The Masquerade in Disguise" Jay's road show, the schedule is very tight recently.

But if you ask him out, I don't think he'll say no if it's as smart as you expect it to be. "

Wu Xiaozu is very puzzled that he wants to invite Kim Kardashian... Bah... Coach Carlisle... Jim Carrey to star in his new work "The Truman Show". In his opinion, such a very in-depth work may not be suitable for inviting a A comedian, or a nonsense comedian.

At this time, Jim Carrey has not really proved himself.

In Hollywood, he is just a third- and fourth-tier starlet.

The salary for filming "Grandmaid in disguise" is only 35 US dollars!
The coffee position can be seen.

For Wu Xiaozu's upcoming "Big Hero" film, Zhang Jiazhen's status as an actor and his appeal are very important.

"Will Tom Hanks be better? He has acting skills and box office appeal, and I think he will be very interested in your invitation."

"My first choice is still the little comedy star you mentioned." Wu Xiaozu shrugged.

Although Jim Carrey's salary is only 40 to 700 yuan, only President Wu knows that this year...to be precise, after the release of "Ghost in Mask" in the summer, the other party will skyrocket and directly rise to the level of 2000 million US dollars. Then next year, he will become the first member of the [-] million club in Hollywood history.

It turns out that he is really worth that much money!
Now if you can sign the opponent, it is no longer as simple as making a lot of money.

Wu Xiaozu has a good impression of this withdrawn comedy master, after all he is 'American Stephen Chow'~~~
"You can make an appointment with him for me." Wu Xiaozu thought for a while, and decided to meet him.

He believes that "The Truman Show" best belongs to Jim Carrey!
