"Azu—"

Sitting in the deck, Mecca glanced at Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian behind Wu Xiaozu, nodded in greeting, and asked with a surprised smile, "Why? Mr. Jiang is not free today?"

"Jiang Sheng is busy with business these two days and is not in Hong Kong Island. These two are Jiang Jiahua and Lawyer Zheng."

Wu Xiaozu helped Jiang Jiahua pull up the chair, stretched out his hand to introduce Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian, and explained with Mecca with a smile, "President Jiang arranged for Jiang Sheng to take over the work of Antai Pictures. Recently, he is traveling around the world. Sister Jiahua will take full responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Mecca nodded and did not ask further questions.

The Jiang family is not considered a big family in Hong Kong Island, but it is well-rooted in the film industry.

Jiang Zuyi, an old fox, has been involved in film distribution since the 50s and 60s, and has been traveling in Europe, America and other countries all year round.

Sixty to seventy percent of the screenings of western films on Hong Kong Island were written by him.

In the share of western films, the Jiang family has a lot of weight.

Otherwise, it would not be Jiang Zuyi's turn to sit in the Hong Kong Island Theater.

"Ka Fai is really lucky, Miss Jiang is beautiful and capable."

Mecca smiled and teased Jiang Jiahua with a sincere attitude, "In the past, Tsui Hark was the one I envied the most in the film industry. He has a good wife! Seeing Jiahua, you are not inferior to Shi Nansheng..."

"Mai sir, you are being polite. Ms. Shi is the real heroine."

Jiang Jiahua smiled politely but not politely.

In her heart, she doesn't really like other people using "Liang Jiahui" to make fun of, even if the other party has no malicious intentions.There is an essential difference between Jiang Jiahua and Shi Nansheng in his bones.

During the recent period, Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang have been negotiating with New Art City, to be precise, with Mecca about cooperation in new dramas.

It is true that Jiang Zhiqiang himself took over Aetna, but this time he left actually because he rushed to Wanwan for the box office share of "The Birth of a Prefix", and at the same time talked about some obscure things with Cai Songlin.

Of course, there is no need to tell Mecca the truth.

...

Wu Xiaozu's new play has an investment of more than [-] million yuan. At this time, Hong Kong Island has already belonged to the category of large-scale productions.

Many people know that the "Best Partner" series has a high box office, but I'm afraid they don't know how much benefit this movie has brought.

截止《最佳拍档之千里救差婆》，四部《最佳拍档》的港岛本埠票房分别为2600万、2300万、2900万、2700万。其中1982-1984本埠三连冠。

In 85, due to internal constraints and profit issues, the filming did not continue. At the same time, the "four consecutive championships" of New Art City that year also came to naught. In 1986, the fourth film directed by Lin Lingdong also achieved a score of 2700 million.

The combined box office of the four films in Hong Kong Island exceeds 1 million yuan, and the income from distribution in other places such as Bay Bay, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States even exceeds the local box office.

Therefore, a single "Best Partner" series has created at least a value of more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars.Numerous related companies and individuals profit from it.

Of course, film value and profit cannot be equated.But with such a huge number base, the profits of Golden Princess and New Art City are also rich enough.

Any film company that casts a big-budget movie will not be stupid enough to take the risk alone, let alone pay for it alone.

Mecca is an excellent actor, director, but also a cunning businessman.

Mecca himself is not only very enthusiastic about this kind of big card company and big investment, but also very good at operating it.It was in his hands that the "Best Partner" project took shape.

The investment behind it was also completed by him and Shi Nansheng teamed up with Lalang.Mecca is very familiar with the production process of big cast movies.

Wu Xiaozu's new play: The investment of "Deadly Two Heroes" is expected to be tens of millions.

Relying on its experienced resources and status in the industry, Mecca has easily raised millions of dollars from some film brokers, Hong Kong Island or Wanwan filmmakers.

This is the skill of an insider, and it is also the background of New Art City.

It is easy to integrate the lineup of Wu Xiaozu + Zhou Runfa + Liang Jiahui + Luo Yijian, and quickly allocate funds.

The Hong Kong Island film circle knows this kind of coquettish operation best, and later generations will also use this kind of self-righteous handicraft workshop-style capital operation to show their blood.

Wu Xiaozu doesn't understand capital operations, but Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian are responsible for business negotiations and relevant legal regulations.He didn't want to make a movie by himself, because the rules were not clear, and he was tricked by Mecca, a thief with a bald head.

"New Art City invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars. After the project is established, I will send the company's financial manager to deal with Ms. Jiang's related accounts."

Mecca took a bite of green vegetables, chewed and asked with a smile, "After the funds are in place, when will you start the show, Azu?"

A few days ago, Mecca received Wu Xiaozu's script and related filming preparation instructions, and was very satisfied with this perfect advance work.He also didn't want to invest millions to go out for nothing.

"It will take about a month on my side."

Wu Xiaozu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and asked casually, "I don't know if Brother Fa's schedule is free?"

"Don't worry... "Dragon and Tiger Wind and Cloud" will be released the day after tomorrow. I hope you can join us, Azu. Then let's talk about this new drama with Fazai in detail."

Mecca looked at Wu Xiaozu, pointed to a table of food with a smile on his face, "I'm just patronizing and chatting, let's eat the food first. The business is never finished. The specific details will be discussed between Ms. Jiang, Lawyer Zheng and people from our company." gone."

Wu Xiaozu looked at Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian, and nodded towards them.

Mecca got the script some time ago and couldn't put it down immediately.

Huang Baiming, who knows the screenwriting work best in New Art City, is full of praise for the story of Wu Xiaozu's new play.

The story is very clichéd, it is undoubtedly the story of the confrontation between the police and the gangsters, but the setting makes people's eyes shine!
"Deadly Two Heroes"!
The main storyline of this play refers to Wu Baige's "sci-fi" blockbuster - "Face Changing".

For this poetic and passionate movie, what Wu Xiaozu likes most is the character setting in which the identities are exchanged and confronted with each other.

This setting also makes the film full of a sense of romantic violence.

The identities of the police and the robbers are switched, and both have to deal with everything with the face of the enemy. This kind of setting is very cool and very interesting.

Wu Xiaozu naturally didn't want to make a science fiction film.It's the same as Wu Yusen abruptly made "Face Changing" into a Hong Kong film.Wu Xiaozu only needs to keep the outline and core of the movie in his previous life, and shoot his own "Deadly Heroes".

Duo!

A confrontation between a man and a man. Since the release of "A Hero's True Colors", this kind of male-male drama has been loved by the majority of movie fans.Countless movies full of male-male love have followed suit.

This is true of "Heroes True Story" and "Yi Gai Yun Tian".And every box office is very ideal.

The theme of the two heroes will last for a long time in later generations.

Wu Xiaozu had a bold idea in his heart.In his heart, he intends to continue this "two heroes" type core into a classic IP.

This kind of series will not have a relationship between the past and the future, but the core will be summed up in the category of "two heroes".The "囧" series of later generations is this kind of IP development.

The first part can talk about confrontation and responsibility, and the second part can talk about feelings and brothers.In short, as long as new value is given, the two-hero movie will last for a long time.

The investment amount of "Deadly Two Heroes" is 1000 million, but in fact the remuneration of the actors is quite a lot.

The reason why Wu Xiaozu was determined to find Zhou Runfa to start a play was not because Zhou Runfa was indispensable.For Wu Xiaozu's movies, only himself is indispensable.

The main reason is that this drama has invested tens of millions of dollars. In today's Hong Kong Island, there are only a handful of actors who can afford such a large investment.To count them down, they are Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Xu Guanjie, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanwen.

Big stars such as Zhang Guoyi, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Biao, Di Long, and Lin Zixiang have done well in the box office in the past two years, but they still cannot afford to invest tens of millions in such a big project.

In terms of actresses, Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong are probably the only female stars who can really stand up to the title of a movie and have box office appeal.Yang Ziqiong is still a bit inferior at the moment.

As for Liu Dehua who has no acting skills and can only pretend to be handsome, play cool, stare at the paralyzed little fresh meat vase, he has not had more box office appeal than Ro Ekin.

Chen Haonan's charm cannot be underestimated!
1024 Locomotive Film Studio During this time, besides Wu Xiaozu's preparation for a new play, the script of "Young and Dangerous 2" is also being written.

For the filming of "Young and Dangerous", Wu Xiaozu will not have the slightest sense of conscience. As for the idea of ​​​​considering minors, it is not within Wu Xiaozu's thinking.

Of course, even if Wu Xiaozu found out with conscience, Xiang Shisan would not agree!
At the same time, interested people are also eyeing this gold mine!
