PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Locomotive Films.

"..."

Wang Jiawei looked expectantly at Director Wu who was smoking a cigarette on the sofa in front of him.

"Carmen in Mong Kok" started from the project approval, he really felt Wu Xiaozu's concern and concern for him all the time.

This concern is really very obvious.

At this moment, he is very grateful that the first film can have a director like Wu Xiaozu personally as the producer, to help him check and help him grow.

that's the truth.

Producer Wu is really distracted by his movies!

He even pays special attention to the cost of a prop and the time of filming progress, and tirelessly reminds and teaches him.

Not to mention that in order to ensure that there are no "accidents" in his shooting, Producer Wu really worked hard, and kept telling himself to shoot according to the central idea of ​​the script, and don't be too ambitious. He really managed to give him advice and tireless teaching.

Looking at Wu Xiaozu, who was concentrating on studying the storyboard manuscript word by word under the light, his nose was slightly sore, and the corners of his eyes were also particularly moved.

Especially at the moment when looking down from the top, the other party's black hair is intertwined with a white hair, which is particularly conspicuous-this must be the effort I have been worrying about for my "Carmen in Mong Kok" during this period...

Although the other party does not have the name of a teacher to himself, he has the reality of a teacher.

At this time, Wang Jiawei was not too hypocritical.

The word thank you is no longer enough to express your heart, let alone reflect your care for yourself.

He secretly made up his mind to shoot "Carmen in Mong Kok" well, so as not to disappoint Mr. Wu!

"The actors have also been selected?" Wu Xiaozu raised his head worriedly, and took off the cigarette from his mouth.Just seeing the other party's affectionate eyes instantly made Wu Xiaozu hold back the chill in his heart, what are you staring at? ? !
"I've chosen, Brother Zu—"

Wang Jiawei looked up to the sky, sure enough! ! ! !Teacher Wu really placed unlimited expectations on himself, and he is most optimistic about himself!Even the selection of actors pays special attention!Looking at Teacher Wu who was staring at him, Wang Jiawei felt emotional.

In the early days of film creation, I met a teacher who worked hard for my film regardless of the cost, but didn't say anything to me, and just cared silently. How lucky is it?
This is the heart of a film artist!
This is my teacher Wang Jiawei!

"As the actors of this film, I invited Luo Yijian and Zu Xian to play the male and female protagonists. In addition, I also invited Zhang Xueyou and Wan Ziyu. I think these two are very suitable for the design of the characters in my movie. Sure...so...but Mr. Wu... Brother Zu, do you have someone better to recommend?"

fit the role?

Wu Xiaozu's mind flashed countless times the GIF of the 'fly' snow friend with his chin facing him and baring his teeth!

It seems that Brother Wufly will become one of the leaders of Chinese emojis in this life!Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu felt relieved!
As for Luo Dong and Wang Zuchen replacing Hua Tsai and Manshen, that's not something to worry about.After all, this movie is produced by its own company, and choosing its own artists is also a matter of course.

What's more, Luo Dong's acting skills at this time are not bad compared with Hua Tsai, and his popularity is far superior.After all, Luo Dong already has a blockbuster series, and Andy Hua is just a freshman in the film industry... not to mention his box office appeal.

In this life, "Carmen in Mong Kok" is not much different from the previous life in terms of script and actors, and even better in the configuration of the camera and other crews, plus I personally check it out, so I think there will be no accidents——

After all, "Carmen in Mong Kok" is Wang Jiawei's only local film that made money at the box office.Wu Xiaozu was very afraid that he would be tricked by himself.After all, the movie cost 300 million.

Not money? ?
Since 1988, the production cost of Hong Kong films has doubled.Fortunately, "God of Gamblers" had already confirmed its cast and signed a filming contract. Otherwise, if it really moved to this year, it is estimated that at least one-third of the investment will be increased.

The suspension of the filming of "God of Gamblers" has been planned for a long time.On the one hand, "Prison Storm" in Mecca needs Fa Ge to promote it, which Wu Xiaozu has no way to stop.On the other hand, with the coming of the new year, Fa Ge, a newlywed, will take turns to pay New Year's greetings according to the customs of both parties...

"God of Gamblers" is destined not to be finished in a short period of time, Wu Xiaozu has also made a complete shooting plan.Of course, the rising cost of filming is also the main reason why Wu Xiaozu did not dare to act recklessly to force the actors to station in the crew to film full-time.

Wu Xiaozu knew that next, Hong Kong films would enter a gamble of big productions.

Countless big productions will appear one after another.There is even a farce where a new director has a movie with good box office results, and the next movie has a big water hose waving a check of 4000 to [-] million to ask him to make a movie.

It was under this premise that "Days of Being Wild" and "Allure of the City" in the previous life appeared on this kind of feast of poor products that could not make ends meet.

If the company wants to develop, it must set foot in the distribution industry.

Wu Xiaozu now also needs to transform the company from a pure production company to a comprehensive film company that focuses on both production and distribution.At this point, it is also the reason for the establishment of Stellar Entertainment.

In this circle, fighting alone can never win against forming a gang!

The reason why Wu Xiaozu fought alone was because he didn't have enough background in the circle before.But as he takes root in the circle, he needs to add more fresh blood to enrich the company.

Film library, this is the profit point that Wu Xiaozu cares about very much.

In later generations, Shaw Brothers' film library brought tens of millions of profits to it every year!

"Carmen in Mong Kok" can be regarded as the top priority of the company's next development.At that time, Locomotive Films will be solely responsible for the distribution of the film.

It can be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone!
Even, if possible, Wu Xiaozu needs to support more new directors to impact the established pattern.

This time, the "constraint" of Xinbao Cinemas also made him quite passive.

Although, Wu Xiaozu knew.As more and more hot money enters the film market, Hong Kong Island's argument that only theaters are the first is really not worth mentioning.

Publishing ability is an important element that can really determine the development space in the past two years.

Locomotive Films needs an ally of its own in the out-of-town market!Dongying, Korea, Malacca, Malaysia, Sawasdee... These are the distribution networks that will be woven next.

In later generations, Hollywood proved the importance of distribution with naked interests!A complete distribution network is worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars!It can be seen how the later generations of Dongying were trapped by the six great pits!

"Hot money..."

Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are very popular, and foreign funds are constantly pouring in.Wu Xiaozu wanted to take this opportunity to perfect his own veins.At the same time, it seems that it is possible to cheat... um... cheat... Bah!Financing more movie money!

"Brother Zu—the film dealers from other places are all here."

At the door, Su Liyao came to inform.

Hearing the sound, Wu Xiaozu showed a kind smile.

　Carefully write a chapter...
