My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 365 Stranger and Zhongxiao East Road (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Wanwan Taipei Taoyuan, Chiang Kai-shek Airport.

Several workers quickly walked across the road carrying a bust of Chang Kaishen studying in a Chinese tunic suit that had been torn down by graffiti.

Not far away, several locals who spoke Hokkien and several policemen pushed each other, and the scene was slightly chaotic.

Some people wondered, when Xiao Chang was still in power, how could someone dare to tear down his old man's statue?
The answer is that Xiao Chang himself does have an idealistic side, plus the environmental factors of the island and the international community, and so on.Of course, he himself has been pushing for democratization...

Only then did the world-famous Wanwan Political All-Martial Swearing Tournament be unsealed, giving a group of people who have forgotten their ancestors a chance.

There are no heroes in the world, so make Zhuzi famous!

Since the 80s, Wanwan society has pursued political democracy.The Zhongli Incident and the Formosa Formosa Incident facilitated this advancement. The Jiangnan case that occurred in 1985 became one of the key reasons that prompted the lifting of martial law in Wanwan in 1987.

Last year, the reason why Liang Jiahui was able to unblock under the dredging of filmmakers such as Cai Songlin, to put it bluntly, also benefited from the loosening of this policy.

1987年7月15日，《湾湾安全法》开始施行，同日“中华民国”正式解除在湾湾实施了38年的戒严。同时也解除了同样实施了30多年的党禁和报禁。

The reason why Zhongshan Airport is so lively is that it was announced in early November that some people would be allowed to go to the mainland to visit their relatives, which ended the nearly 11-year situation of no communication between compatriots on both sides of the strait.The two sides of the strait and the three places began to break the ice...

To a certain extent, this has promoted the development of investment in the Mainland.

The reason why I say this... is not to make up the word count.In fact, the development of the economy and the loosening of policies will bring about the first exchange of cultures...

It was also at this time that Wanwan filmmakers began to make real efforts to push Hong Kong Island filmmakers to go to the mainland to ask for directions.

At this time, Uncle Long's "Flying Dragon", "Police Story 2" and Wu Xiaozu's "Double Heroes" can be regarded as first-line big productions with an investment of tens of millions.

Such as "God of Gamblers" with a budget of more than 2800 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely rare.Maybe only Liu Shu and Zou Wenhuai will have such a big deal when they enter Hollywood.

However, with the development of the Wanwan policy, Wanwan filmmakers are really throwing their hands and throwing tens of millions of investments. Otherwise, how could Wang Jiawei have the opportunity to take 4000 to [-] million and run to the Gobi desert in the inland, burning money while shouting hypocritically Goodbye donuts, instant noodles with pearl milk tea, hot pot rice, big plate chicken...mainly rich!

Fully armed and wrapped tightly, it is hard to hide Auntie Lin's plump and beautiful appearance.

As the crowd poured out like waves, my little aunt immediately saw Director Wu who was standing tall like a big gun in the crowd, carrying a backpack on his shoulders, and looking handsome like a wind who always accompanied me.

Behind him is Jiang Er Shao who is one meter tall.

"Azu~"

Auntie Lin smiled and waved to Wu Xiaozu, thinking of the sentence lingering on her fingertips in her mind: what is love, it is hard to sleep, and the soft night light is shaking, awakening the memory of him.

that's nice!

Seeing Aunt Lin walking towards Wu Xiaozu steadily and anxiously, Second Young Master Jiang, who was wearing a floor-length trench coat, instantly revealed the magical nature of D'Angelo De Nero standing on the boxing ring. Smile.

"Why did it come so suddenly? Didn't you agree to come with the company people?" Lin Qingxia put her chin on Wu Xiaozu's shoulder and asked curiously.

Wu Xiaozu patted his buttocks lightly, glanced at the hurried crowd in front of him, noncommittal.

"Double Heroes" and "Life and Wealth" were both shortlisted for the Golden Horse Awards, so naturally Wu Xiaozu would not be the only one to come to Taiwan to deal with it.

What's more, although the most important thing about the Golden Horse Awards is the awards ceremony, every time there are other related film festival activities in Wanwan within three to five days before the draw, each Golden Horse Award is actually a huge business for a Chinese-language film. Extended activity.Many film studios in Southeast Asia will come to join us in advance.

In private, it will also facilitate multiple movie sales and cooperation.

With two films shortlisted, 1024 Locomotive Film Company is naturally very busy.

Wu Xiaozu came to Taiwan in a hurry, naturally because of the Golden Horse Awards.

But some things can be done, but can't be said!

The Golden Horse Award also has a huge disadvantage for foreigners.Especially in this year's situation, even more so!

Compared with the Golden Statue Awards, which are still emerging in Xinshou Village, the Golden Horse Awards undoubtedly have more regional influence.

Wu Xiaozu himself attaches great importance to the Golden Horse Awards.

Most importantly, his "God of Gamblers" is generally not a family movie in the traditional sense, with a dark heroic style, which will affect the audience to some extent.

This requires Wu Xiaozu to continuously increase the chips for this movie.

This is why he made a deal with Mecca and hurriedly exchanged for the schedule of Zhou Runfa.

In this era, the gold content of the Golden Horse Awards has considerable influence on Southeast Asian film studios and local ticket warehouses.

Just like why in the previous life, why did many literary and artistic films pursue awards such as Oscars and Cannes?In the final analysis, is it not to create greater profits?

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu himself is also looking forward to the Golden Horse Awards.

At the same time, Director Wu is also thinking about those professional junglers in Hong Kong and Taiwan... before the award-winning professional households, to accumulate his own talent, and then he can make his name in history... maybe.

He didn't have absolute confidence to win foreign awards earlier than those few... If he didn't take advantage of the present to increase his gold content, how could he have an advantage over them - cheating investors of their money!
For things like art films and experimental styles, don't expect Wu Xiaozu to use his own money to play.

"The Birth of a Prefix" has Jiang Ershao supporting the big head!

"The Suspect" has Zhang Guoyi's top cylinder!
One commercial, one experimental, this is the rhythm that Wu Xiaozu is very satisfied with.This kind of experiment itself is an attempt, induction and summary of my own film style.

……

A teahouse on Zhongxiao Road.

Inside the tea room box, it is antique and has a Jiangnan style.

A delicate female tea master in a cheongsam with her hair in her arms shows the tea art in a flowing manner, and the whole picture is full of harmonious beauty.A musician next to him fiddled with the pipa, which seemed to bring people's thoughts back to the Republic of China, full of ancient rhyme and melodiousness.

There is a blue-and-white teacup on the saucer, and the tea is fragrant, and you can feel the faint taste of tea before you taste it.The term tea ceremony is broad and profound, and tasting tea is like tasting people.

Cai Songlin held the teacup, waited and watched, sniffed lightly, sipped slowly, and took three sips, leaving the fragrance in his mouth, slowly passing through.

Wu Xiaozu, who was sitting opposite, sipped lightly, feeling the unique bitterness before the fragrance of the tea. The fragrance of the tea is very light, but evocative.

Jiang Ershao on the side drank very freely.

"Wanwan's oolong tea still tastes good?" Cai Songlin looked straight at him with wolf eyes and smiled.

"Thank you Cai Sheng for inviting me to drink such good tea."

Wu Xiaozu smiled, raised his glass solemnly and expressed his gratitude, and said: "I am very grateful to Cai Sheng for lending a helping hand some time ago. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise it's harmless."

Cai Songlin interrupted Wu Xiaozu's words with a smile, teasingly said: "Looking at your clean steps, I can understand that you have a chance to win."

"Thank you anyway."

Wu Xiaozu insisted on offering a toast, and said with a smile, "There are always people who don't have such long-term vision as Cai Sheng."

"That's right, some people are always short-sighted." Second Young Master Jiang also chimed in to cooperate.

Cai Songlin smiled knowingly, then stretched out his hand to support Wu Xiaozu's arm, and said in a slightly helpless tone: "Azu, don't express your opinion in a hurry. There are still some sequelae about the two films being shortlisted... You must know that many times we The movie is good enough, but there is no shortage of competitors..."

Wu Xiaozu's gaze was as usual, and he glanced slightly at Jiang Ershao who was about to speak, and stopped the other party's questioning.

Cai Songlin pondered for a moment, seeing that Wu Xiaozu didn't ask further questions, and didn't say much.
