My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 451 Film Industry Association, "Gambling God" Goryeo Filming

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Hay—"

The burly and domineering Chiba Shinichi nodded happily, while the student Hiroyuki Sanada and his actor Yukari Oshima held teacups and bowed slightly to offer tea to Director Wu.

This "Xiong Ba", which is "three points to vitality, seven points to luck", is higher in the Chinese and international film circles than it is in Dongying. It can be regarded as a representative of exports to domestic sales in the 80s.

This is very similar to Tamaki Koji, his songs and style are also recognized by the Chinese music scene, and then...the Hong Kong island music circle frantically sang his songs, and finally became even more popular than the original ones.

The main reason is that his music style is indeed not so mainstream in Japan, but it is very suitable among Chinese.

Has been known as the most underrated singer in Japan.

He claims to support half of the singers in the music circle on Hong Kong Island, and Miyuki Nakajima supports the other half.

From the 70s to the 90s, the Dongying music scene has always been the vane of the Asian music scene. In that era, there were indeed many talented creators and singers in the Dongying music circle.This is something that the small Hong Kong Island cannot match.

So the cover song is not incomprehensible.

This caused the fans to be polarized, some forcibly washed their idols, saying that the song idols sang a hundred times better than the original, and the other part stepped on these Chinese singers hard, saying that they plagiarized...

In fact, creative ability and singing ability are two different things.If you have original singing skills and good singing skills, then you are at the level of a Pieditor... Isn't Milk Tea Lun's singing skills also quite satisfactory?
In this regard, it does not have to be the case.

It's like there are extreme (remember it's extreme) cynics in later generations who hate all foreigners, and there are a group of penny licking dogs kneeling and licking all foreigners.

The ball of a ballpoint pen can be made patriotic by them or the industrial level is extremely low... Nima, Laomei didn't do this, okay?
It is impossible for a country to lead the world in everything from toilet paper to tables, chairs and benches to messy things?
Your Chinese population only accounts for one-fifth of the world, right?

Of course, in turn, don't belittle your motherland.

If a person even belittles his own roots, his ancestors, his own culture, and his own nation, then he is really brain-dead.

Of course, there is no shortage of this kind of brain damage in all countries and regions in the world, and this is not a specialty of our country.

It’s like, there are some self-media Qi Guoyou who wear patriotic cloaks and are actually high-end and black, saying that young people only care about celebrities and don’t care about people who have made great contributions to the country...

From ancient times to the present, the gossip of actors, the stories of the masters and the west have always been the things that the common people love to gossip, and it has nothing to do with this era.

The same is true for young people in all countries and regions. Everyone has come from this age. The greatest manifestation of social progress is not to kidnap me indifferently without breaking the law or violating current ethics and morals!

Being patriotic is not about chanting slogans or watching the excitement.

At the beginning of the 24-character values, it tells you to be "prosperous and strong", and it is also patriotic to love your job, work hard, and work hard.We will never forget those heroes who shed blood and sweat for the country. Our next generation may forget his name, but his contribution will be passed down from generation to generation in the long river of history.

You insist on scolding young people in an entertainment media for paying more attention to entertainment than state affairs... You ask me to lift tables and chairs and I can lift them, but I can't help you with your arguing.

Don't look at this old pervert in front of him with a domineering face, but in fact he is very perverted...

In addition to his identity as an actor, he is also the owner of a performing arts company. He founded Japan Action Enterprise, which also has a branch on Hong Kong Island.As Hong Kong films became more and more popular, he also introduced several newcomers one after another to find water in Hong Kong films, and he had a wide network of contacts in both places.

This time Wu Xiaozu invited him and Hiroyuki Sanada to play the roles in "God of Gamblers".He took the opportunity to recommend his artist Oshima Yukari to Wu Xiaozu.

Wu Xiaozu didn't mind this kind of easy work.Of course, there is no need to think about important supporting roles, and with Wu Xiaozu's status in the film industry at the moment, Chiba Shinichi naturally did not dare to call out the request for 18 assistants.

Is the studio tyrant a prodigal?

Brother Fa, the male protagonist, must keep everything simple in the crew of "God of Gamblers", and even Sister-in-law Fa cannot easily accompany him.

"I will get the company to sign a cooperation contract with the three of you as soon as possible. Both acting and publicity need everyone's cooperation." Wu Xiaozu let Hiroyuki Sanada help to fill the tea, took a sip from his cup, "The character script needs you as soon as possible. Familiar. If there is any difficulty in daily life, I can arrange an interpreter."

"There is no problem with the language. I have lived here on Hong Kong Island for a long time, and the basic communication is no problem." Chiba Shinichi said with a smile, "I will get familiar with the script as soon as possible."

The old man is quite dedicated.

After negotiating the cooperation of the three Japanese actors, Director Wu declined the other party's invitation to "arrange" on Bolan Street.

I don't even have time to pay the public rations, so I still have time to play wild?

"Azu, you are here!"

As soon as Wu Xiaozu walked into the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts Opera House, he saw Yu Cheng, who was dressed as a man, waving at him with a smile.Many staff members are disassembling the equipment.

"Yu sir, Mr. Chen." Wu Xiaozu smiled and greeted the handsome and well-dressed Yu Cheng and the gentle Chen Bosheng beside him. Both of these two belonged to the big names in the media circle, and they could be regarded as the Bole who supported Wu Xiaozu back then.

Without their support, Wu Xiaozu would not be called "the next standard-bearer of Hong Kong movies" such a hurtful slogan.

"congratulations!"

Chen Bosheng said with a smile, "'Twin Heroes', 'Fear Chamber' and 'The Suspect' are all shortlisted for the [-]th Academy Awards. 'Twin Heroes' won nine nominations, and 'The Suspect' won even A record twelve nominations! "Cell of Fear" also has three nominations!"

Nine items?Twelve items?Three items?Is this the rhythm of flattering oneself? ?

Wu Xiaozu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards Yu Cheng, only to see him nodding his head slightly.

For this reason, Wu Xiaozu couldn't help frowning his eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, he asked with a smile, "What about the nomination of Locomotive [-]?"

"Recently, the association has been negotiating for the right to host the Academy Awards. Chen Bosheng and I don't have much conflict. But..."

Yu Cheng shook his head in a bad tone, raised his point, and glanced at Wu Xiaozu, seeing his calm face, "You have the highest nomination, even higher than many companies. There must be a price..."

"So, I'm the only one in my company to be nominated?" Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile.

Logically speaking, "Young and Dangerous 12" may not be eligible for awards, but nominations must be required, right?But there is not a single nomination, which is really unreasonable.

""Twin Heroes", "Suspect", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "The Last Victory", and "Dragon and Tiger" are all big hits this year. The intensity of this year is far higher than the previous ones." Yu Teng also A little helpless.

Fortunately, the two films "Prison Storm" and "A Hero 2" were not released in 1987, otherwise, this year would really be a spark hitting the earth.

In the previous life, the [-]th Academy Award was full of gold, and it could be regarded as the most exciting edition of the Academy Award.

This time he did not lose to his previous life.

"Film Association?"

Wu Xiaozu chewed with a smile.

Founded in 1986, the Film Industry Association is the most influential industry association in the Hong Kong Island film industry. Most of the members of this association coincide with the members of the Film Production and Distribution Association (MPDA).It is equivalent to two sets of skins and one team.

The young master of the Huo family is also an honorary director of the association. He has an official background and is also the private land of several major companies.

Today, Tianji Company is also helping Locomotive 1024 to lobby the Legislative Council and the industrial and commercial departments. The production and distribution of this book involves all aspects.Along with the distribution industry, 1024 locomotive has also entered the production and distribution association.

The Hong Kong Island International Film Festival this time is organized by the Film Industry Association, otherwise, with Wu Xiaogou's personality, he would not have been eager to join in the show.Participating in this film festival is also to give a front foot to the transforming distribution company.

Wu Xiaozu didn't expect the Film Industry Association to have such long hands. They didn't do many good things in their previous life.

The most interesting thing is the so-called film industry association, most of the people in it are not members of the film industry...but it's normal, right?This association controls the development and copying of Hong Kong, including film trading activities and mediation.

Anyway, it belongs to the kind of association that is usually useless, but can disgust people.

"The arms can't twist the thighs."

Yu Cheng patted Wu Xiaozu on the shoulder, "I heard that your company is also involved in distribution this year? Film distribution is the best transformation for a film company to extend. However, overseas distribution is difficult to lay. Be careful, don't think about eating everything at once. Fatty."

"Then Sir Yu, is he interested in coming to my side to help me?" Although the other party likes to flirt with beauties, and will flirt with them as soon as they flirt, there is really nothing to say about his ability and talent. If he can be invited to join, it will be a great deal for the company and Wu Xiaozu himself. A huge boost.

"Digging me?" Yu Cheng opened his eyes wide, joking in an unbelievable way, and said coolly, "My salary is very high."

"A high salary means ability. Yu sir, I know you have the intention to return to the commercial platform. Now it seems that the commercial platform is indeed bigger than mine. But that's it at most. But mine is different. Leave nothing to be done, leaving you with a huge room for development.”

Wu Xiaozu doesn't know if Yu Cheng has signed a contract with Commercial Taiwan now and will go back to be the CEO, but he is really very optimistic about this "fake man".

The company's small group is the goal of the next department. Now, in the company, there is no one who can integrate the overall management.Jiang Jiahua is more and more transitioning towards the financial aspect. Jiang Ershao is good at film production, but the pure management level is much worse.

It's not about ability, it's about experience and one's ambition.

Management is a philosophy of balance, but balance does not mean mediocrity and constraints.It is difficult to grasp the proportion.

Wu Xiaozu himself is also very self-aware, and his management level is estimated to be at the same level as Chang Kaishen.

"Business stations are limited to Hong Kong Island. Although there are political dividends, I don't think you, Sir Yu, want to be confined to the small pool of Hong Kong Island, do you? In addition to 1024 Locomotive and Star Entertainment, recently Sir Zhang is also helping the company I have acquired the shares of Huanyu International and are responsible for overseas issuance. I plan to integrate the three companies in the second half of the year, and other projects will also be involved... Yu sir, think about it?"

"Little Pond? Haha..."

Yu Cheng laughed and pointed at Wu Xiaozu, "Azu, you have such a big appetite now, aren't you afraid to hold on to it? What you said is nothing but fantasy. If you really want to achieve what you said, at least a few hundred million... ..."

While talking, seeing Wu Xiaozu's smiling face, Yu Cheng stopped talking, raised his eyes, and stared round, "Don't tell me you have such a sum of money?"

"That's not sure, Sir Yu!" Wu Xiaozu laughed.

He has a fart!

But if the E7 culture really achieves nothing in the stock market, a few hundred million should be nothing.

"No wonder the outside world has rumored that your net worth has skyrocketed, but your tone of voice is different!"

Yu Cheng sighed with emotion and said with a smile, "I have indeed received an invitation from the board of directors of Shangtai, but I haven't made up my mind yet. As for... your invitation?
You should prove it to me first.

If there are hundreds of millions of funds to operate, I don't mind working for you! "

If Wu Xiaozu can really mobilize hundreds of millions of funds to do this, maybe he can jump out of the shallow pool of Hong Kong Island and develop from another direction.This development direction is different from that of Shaw Brothers, the first generation of entertainment, and also different from Jiahe, the second generation of entertainment, and Golden Princess, the third generation of entertainment.

Wu Xiaozu's development method has proved to be successful in later generations.Both Huanyu and Emperor have grown in this way.

Wu Xiaozu started the layout in the 80s in advance, thinking that at the critical moment, he would knock a few more nails from the Hong Kong film, a broken ship that was destined to sink in the future, to sell money.

Leading the bay into the port, he led the way.

Cai Songlin and other Wanwan film producers followed his footsteps and began to rush into Hong Kong Island on a large scale, making Hong Kong films instantly inflated.

He planned to help the black and white.

Yongsheng's Xiang Shisan followed him step by step to clean up his crimes, and now countless corporate film companies have also rushed in.

Goofy movie, he made it.

A group of parents and educational scholars still accuse him of poisoning the next generation!But some people say that he is tirelessly creating new genre films, which will benefit everyone.

He opened the third-level Raiders.

Lll-level movies are now rampant in the entire movie circle, and he has contributed a lot.Nowadays, the turnover of LLL-level movie theaters is increasing, and this kind of low-cost movies are loved by many independent film companies.

Takeaway, he did it again!
The credits of "God of Gamblers" are selling fast now, as long as this movie is successful, there will be no one to learn from!
When people return to Hong Kong Island, they will send Hongyuan to fight for the Chinese film industry. At worst, they are helping Hong Kong films to stop the bleeding.

He's so good, he has ruined the entire Hong Kong Island movie circle.The problem is that the entire movie circle can't scold him, after all, everyone has made a profit!
He also wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength didn't allow it!
"It's a word?" Wu Xiaozu smiled and stretched out his palm.

"A four-horse horse is hard to chase!" Yu Cheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, what I said is a nail in the mouth!"

"Of course I believe in Yu sir." Wu Xiaozu smiled, thinking about how to get Yu Cheng in.

At the same time, we must be on guard against her breaking up all the female artists in his company.

Director Wu sighed in his heart. It seems that in the future, in addition to paying attention to the spiritual and technical needs of female artists, they must also meet their physical health needs to prevent them from doing stupid things in life!
When a man stabs, he stabs, and you say that a woman stabbed... How embarrassing?

It's hard to find a good leader, a good master, a good boss, and a good director like me.

After talking with Yu Cheng, he also hurriedly recorded a promotion for Chen Bosheng who was prepared at the side, and accepted an exclusive interview with "Film Biweekly".

……

"Little Man Weekly" crew.

Wu Xiaozu quietly looked at the shot just taken in the picker, with a calm expression on his face.

On the side, Qiu Litao, with a simple face and clear bones, glanced at his old friend Chen Jiayan who was nervous and smiled secretly, but he also understood the other party's mood at the moment.

If you want to be a new director, you will be nervous when you meet Wu Xiaozu, right?
"Brother Zu, in the past two days, I will shoot some relatively simple scenes according to the shooting plan. The shooting cycle of this movie can be completed in four weeks. Including post-production, it should be completed by the end of June."

Qiu Litao reported, "I sent some of the filmed films back to the editing studio in advance, and Kuang Zhiyu and Chen Zhiwei have already begun to familiarize themselves with the script."

"You are the producer of this drama, you just need to control the speed."

Wu Xiaozu nodded.The company has perfect shooting supervision, and someone is responsible for every step.

"This movie has a reputation, so don't worry about the box office. If it goes well, the movie can be scheduled to be released in August. This year's Qixi Festival happens to be that the company doesn't have a romantic movie.

The audience of this drama can be more accurately targeted at urban white-collar workers and middle-aged groups.

Discuss specific matters with Yu Weiguo, and do a good job in market research and data analysis of new plays.Then determine the direction of announcement.Make sure to target the right audience.Just follow the most conventional way of publicity. "

Wu Xiaozu turned around and smiled at Chen Jiaxuan, and handed over a cup of milk tea brought by the visiting team, "Don't be nervous, although the technique is a little green, but the level is above the passing line. I believe that with the help of Changmao, this drama will not let me down. , and will not disappoint audiences in Hong Kong."

Praise is the cheapest way to win, Wu Xiaozu was never stingy.

This is especially true when looking at directors who clearly know that they are not in the same boat, don't aim too high, and can make money cheaply.

Since it was a radio drama turned into a movie, in order to make more money, this drama also continued to recruit the radio host Zheng Danrui to play the male lead Ah Kuan.

The lineup of this drama in the previous life was considered brilliant, and it is no different in this life.

The actress who plays the original partner is naturally Aunt Lin, and the female boss actor invited Hong Gu as a cameo. The two of Lin Zhong have become "ma friends" since "Dao Ma Dan", this time Hong Gu can come, also thanks to Xiao Auntie's playing tricks.

In the movie, there is a four-cornered love, except for the two daughters, the remaining two daughters are Shao Damei and Ye Yuqing.

In addition, Qiu Shuzhen, Zhou Huimin, Ye Zimei and Li Xun will all make guest appearances.As for the char siew fun...it depends.

This kind of urban fashion drama in the category of love does not have much requirements for actors, but it also tests the box office ability.

I believe that with the two beauties Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong joining hands again, it is enough to make many idiot homeboys worth their fare.

"Thank you Director Wu." Chen Jiaxuan hurriedly thanked.

It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous, but this is Wu Xiaozu!
The idol of young filmmakers in Hong Kong!

The film style created by the other party has deeply influenced the current film market and filmmakers.

Commercially, the box office related records belong to the other party, and artistically, they are swept together.In terms of film technology reform, it is second to none on Hong Kong Island!
From the image style, the use of light, the use of color, the use of lenses, and the re-establishment of the film structure, they are all world-class.

In the next few days, when the whole of Hong Kong was reporting and discussing the nominations for the [-]th Academy Awards, Wu Xiaozu took the crew of "God of Gamblers" and flew to Korea to film.

So far, the press conference for this drama has not yet started.

This situation is quite normal.

Many movies don't even have press conferences until they're done shooting.In this way, hot spots can be seized, which has a great publicity effect on the release of the movie.

"God of Gamblers" don't worry, this lineup is already gorgeous enough!
