after dusk.

In the Yizai Restaurant, Wu Xiaozu was holding tea and sitting face to face with Tsui Hark.

He visited "A Chinese Ghost Story" and half-heartedly played a dead body. Does Tsui Hark really think Wu Xiaozu is doing charity?Looking at Tsui Hark with a surprised face in front of him, Wu Xiaozu smiled, reached out to lift the teapot, lifted his buttocks, and offered to help him pour tea and water.

Tsui Hark looked at the enthusiastic and polite Wu Xiaozu, and couldn't help but stand up quickly, holding the cup in both hands.

"Director Xu, I have always liked your 'Chaos Trilogy', even more than "Ghost Horse Zhi Duoxing" and "Dao Ma Dan". Especially the pioneering work "Butterfly Change", I have always regarded it as my standard."

Wu Xiaozu looked at Tsui Hark, who was perverse but quite conceited, and smiled and flattered him, but his face was sincere, without a trace of flattery at all, and Tsui Hark waved his hands repeatedly with a smile.

Wu Xiaozu has just won the Golden Statue Award, his praise is not light.Even Tsui Hark was as shrewd as a ghost, but he was fascinated by Wu Xiaozu.

What's more, Wu Xiaozu gave him a very good impression.

Brilliant!Humble and studious!Introverted and down-to-earth!Seek truth from facts!
"Azu, stop praising me." Tsui Hark said with a smile.

"Hey——we can be regarded as confidants in the movie. Look, we didn't know each other in the first movie. Then we got acquainted with the cultural salon of the charming book sea through friends, and discussed with each other some time ago. It’s about the movie. Why should I praise you old monster Xu’s stinky feet? I sigh from the bottom of my heart.” Wu Xiaozu criticized seriously.

Tsui Hark looked straight, he felt Wu Xiaozu was right!
"We are indeed the same kind of people." Tsui Hark nodded in agreement.

"Look... I said that a confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. I don't know if you think of me, Lao Xu, but I have always regarded you as a confidant. We all have anti-traditional rebellion in our pursuit of movies. Your 'Trilogy of Chaos', my 'Birth of a Prefix'.

How many directors are there in the big Hong Kong Island film industry who have been pursuing the pace of innovation?In this jungle where the jungle preys on the weak, if we want not to be killed, we can only make ourselves stronger.So we are constantly breaking ourselves. "Wu Xiaozu spoke righteously, with infinite sincerity in his eyes.

"Azu, thank you." Tsui Hark raised his teacup with emotion in his eyes, "I can see now that you are a pure filmmaker."

"It's hard to meet, it must be Jianghu."

Wu Xiaozu said sternly, "The older generation of craftsmen of all kinds went to the rivers and lakes, and they still know how to help each other. Why? Because he knows that they are all people from the rivers and lakes all the way. Are we not as good as the elders?
In my heart, I very much hope that there will be a Producers Guild, Screen Actors Guild, and Directors Guild like Hollywood in the Hong Kong Island film circle to bring together like-minded filmmakers.Let Hong Kong films develop better.

Of course, I take these things lightly, but I know that with more and more like-minded filmmakers like us, Hong Kong films will definitely get better and better.

Someone once said: Only a life of struggle can be called happiness.

but!
Struggle is arduous, hardships and hardships, and success. Without hardships, there is no real struggle. We must have the courage to purify the soul, sharpen the will, and strengthen the faith in the arduous struggle.

The struggle is long-term. The predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. This kind of cause that benefits Chinese people requires the continuous struggle of several or more than a dozen generations. "

Wu Xiaozu raised the theme to the ceiling all of a sudden, Tsui Hark was surprised and respectful at the same time.

Although he really wanted to ask who said this.But he didn't lower his face because he was mentally ill.

Seeing that he was almost fooling around, Wu Xiaozu started today's dry stuff.For a commercial director like Tsui Hark who has a literary and artistic atmosphere, you must not only express your feelings, but also cannot abandon your interests.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu decided to pull Tsui Hark to fight together.

"I have a filming plan about an indoor suspense movie in my hand, and I hope that the two of us can have a collision of inspiration and ideas.

As I just said, I like "Butterfly Change" very much. In that play, you can tell suspenseful stories in the way of martial arts in the manor.

I think if the two of us work together..." Wu Xiaozu left his words in reverie.

A flash of embarrassment flashed in Tsui Hark's heart. Back then, if he had money, the devil would have filmed martial arts as an indoor drama...Of course, at this moment, he felt that Wu Xiaozu's words were very lofty.

"Cooperation?"

Tsui Hark's interest increased greatly. Looking at the handsome Wu Xiaozu, his eyes were blurred, and he said in a gay way, "Why did the two of us start colliding?"

"Co-directed!"

As Wu Xiaozu said, he brazenly took out a draft of a movie story, and handed it to Tsui Hark with a solemn expression, "This is a movie I really wanted to shoot. But because it involves torture of human nature, I have never chosen to shoot... "Then, he began to tell the story in detail.

Tsui Hark took it with both hands naturally.

Heavy!
Looking at the lifelike pictures full of guilt, listening to the stories of human struggle and moral whipping in his ears, Tsui Hark's heart is like a seaweed, seaweed, seaweed, swaying with the waves, dancing in the waves... …

"scare!"

Tsui Hark turned over the last page of the four-panel story draft. When he saw the person who was lying in a pool of blood in the draft and suddenly got up, his hands and feet were cold, and the back of his spine felt cold——

Enlarged eye sockets, enlarged nostrils, enlarged navel opening...ahem...enlarged.

"This story is the most incredible story I have heard in these years. Azu, how did you come up with such a story subject?
cause and effect?Fate?human nature?Even though it's a basically equivalent chamber drama, the drama in this drama is unmatched... amazing!It was so shocking!Bravo! "Xu Hark kept amazed at what he said.

"Now you know why I picked you up?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, "I firmly believe that this movie is a movie that redefines horror movies. However, this movie is also a test of the director's skills."

"But... it shouldn't be difficult to shoot this horror film with your skills?" Tsui Hark asked doubtfully.

The content of this movie is very innovative, but the frame is actually not big.After he saw it, with Wu Xiaozu's ability to shoot several movies, it is not a problem to control this movie.

"It's not difficult to control it, but it's difficult to sublimate it. I hope this movie can dig out more new ideas. So I invite you to co-direct."

Wu Xiaozu looked straight at him and said, "I believe that in the film industry of Hong Kong Island, the person who can really bring me new inspiration must be you."

The investment in "Fear Room" is more than 1000 million, if Wu Xiaozu does not increase the main creative lineup, how will he get the money?
Liang Jiahui!
Zhou Runfa!
It's really good, but their worth is clearly marked!

Directors are different.

Especially Tsui Hark after filming "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

The filming of "Fear Room" was completed, just as "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released.At that time, Wu Xiaozu felt that he could still be in the pit... Ahem, it would not be a problem to get a few more million.

main!

He needs someone to take the blame with him!
Tens of millions of struggles... Wu Xiaozu can't carry it alone, can he?

Although tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, I will go!
Xiang Sheng takes all buyers and sellers, Wu Xiaozu doesn't need to pretend to be deaf, right?
At the beginning, Tsui Hark's "Dao Ma Dan" easily cost tens of millions, Wu Xiaozu's small book can remember this account!
