My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 454 Cooperation and Bangzi Film Art Academy

Chungmuro, temporary office of 1024 Locomotive (Seoul) Film Company.

Goryeo actors were divided into Chungmuro ​​School and Daxuelu School by many people in later generations, which is like the distinction between Beiying and Zhongxi.have
People say that Beijing Film produces stars and China Film produces actors.

This is actually not accurate.

Beijing Film Academy mainly trains film-related talents, while China National Theater Academy trains drama-related talents.

It cannot be said who is superior to whom.

The directing department and the photography department of Beiying have always occupied half of the mainland movies.In terms of personal drama creation, the Department of Chinese Opera Performance is indeed slightly better.

The difference between Chungmuro ​​and Daehang-ro is roughly the same.When it comes to Chungmuro, it is a movie, and when it is mentioned Daxuero, it is a drama.

At this time, more than 20 film companies in Korea gathered in Chungmuro, in addition to film equipment companies and movie theaters.

This is the center of Goryeo movies.

Cinema room.

Director Wu pressed the end with a smile, and the film stopped at the sentence "I suspect that Gao Jin's wife is not dead..." and cut it off.

"God of Gamblers: Immediate War" was filmed in Korea for more than ten days, and the pre-production staff were very skilled in preparation.Except for the status of the actors, there were not many technical mistakes.

This segment is the material that was roughly edited in the past two days, and it is also a scene where the "star face" appears in a relatively concentrated manner in the film, especially the local scenes in Korea.

This is also a clip specially prepared for the filmmakers of several film companies on the scene.

Although it was a rough cut of just a few minutes, the plot is already very coherent, and everyone has watched it with gusto, and the little bit of content revealed has aroused the curiosity of these filmmakers.

"God of Gamblers: Immediate War" is full of impact from the performance of the actors to the use of the camera.

Every prop is made with the utmost care, and every light is very elegant.

It can be clearly seen that there is a gap between Goryeo's local films and it.The gimmicks are also well done.

Wu Xiaozu looked around at the several film dealers below, and exchanged glances with Jiang Ershao and Zhang Jiazhen, all smiling slightly.

"Zhou Runfa, Wang Zuzhen, Liang Jiahui, and Lin Qingxia all starred?"

"Yes, the star lineup is strong!"

"I feel that it is very necessary to introduce this movie! It must be a big hit!"

"We must win the distribution rights of this movie!"

In the viewing room, several directors of Korea Film Company discussed the movie with their assistants.

They are all knowledgeable people, and they naturally see the commercial value of this movie.

For the drama "God of Gamblers: Immediate War", in order to maximize the benefits, the best way is naturally to increase publicity.

This time he came to Koryo for more than ten days. While Wu Xiaozu was immersed in filming, he also asked people to contact powerful film companies here to promote the film.

"Everyone, I have invited a few of you here this time, and I also want to cooperate with you. Before the cooperation, let me introduce this movie."

Wu Xiaozu looked around at these sticks, and when he opened his mouth, the sticks on the scene were startled.

"God of Gamblers: Immediate War" has an initial investment of more than 63 billion won for the entire film."

"6...3 million?"

"Wow?!"

The people from several major film companies at the scene all screamed. The production cost of 63 billion, they dare not even think about it!

At this time, the well-known Korean production and distribution companies such as Goutian Entertainment Group, END, Showbox, Kang JeGyu, Cinema Service, and CJ E&M had not yet been established.

It is still the world of film companies such as East Asia Xinghan, Federation, and Loan Quan.Those few companies were not established until the late 90s.This led to the rise of Goryeo movies!

At this time, 63 billion won... For the filmmakers here.

It's just terrifying!
In 1988, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollar to Korean won was around 1:181, and 3500 million Hong Kong dollars were converted into Korean won, which was nearly 63 billion won.Not to mention the Koryo sticks here, the staff of other Hong Kong Island are a little dumbfounded.

Guo Zairong, Park Chan-wook, and Jiang Di-gyu, the Three Musketeers leading the way, also had their eyes glowing.

Eyes sneaking glances at the Korean movie peers who have never seen the world next to her, her small breasts are slightly raised without a trace, and she is so proud!
Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen smiled.

This passage has been said more than ten times in Southeast Asia.Today, although the filming of "God of Gamblers: Immediate War" has not yet started, the release work has already come to the forefront.

Film distribution is a huge project that requires close attention.This is especially true for overseas distribution work.In the past ten days, after Zhang Jiazhen assisted in the acquisition and processing of Huanyu International, he directly rushed to overseas distribution channels.

Fortunately, Hollywood did not notice the importance of overseas distribution at this time.Even the Big Seven has not completed the real integration of resources, and has not completely captured the entire Asian market.

At this time, Hong Kong movies are quite popular in Asia!

Especially the ultra-luxury lineup of this movie and the fame of Director Wu!

"It goes without saying about the star lineup."

Director Wu's gesture of understatement is full of coercion.

"We have also received sponsorship from major international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Pepsi, Rolex, and Omen Lisboa Casino.

They are very confident about this movie.It will cooperate with the announcement of the film in the next time.

The copyright of this movie has been sold in many places, and Goryeo..."

Wu Xiaozu didn't continue to say, but it was self-evident.

Naturally, he would not tell these people here that the copyrights in many places are distributed by E7 Culture.

These people can't find out even if they want to.

Especially since they have already seen the quality of the movie, Wu Xiaozu doesn't believe that they are not tempted.If you really don't want to be tempted, you won't be eager to send money to the door on Hong Kong Island.

The sponsorship of several major brands is indeed something to do, as for cooperating with the publicity... Of course, there is no such treatment.The only one that might cooperate with the announcement is Lisboa, and this is just Ms. He's one-sided opinion.

But, it doesn't matter.

These sticks don't know the ditches and hurdles here.

Nowadays, the investment of Korean filmmakers in Hong Kong Island is not small!Instead of cheap Hong Kong films that are unlearned and incompetent, it is better to put them in the pocket of your "Korea friend"!

Several filmmakers present swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, sparks collided.

This feeling is like someone calling in the future and saying: What?Is the Tiananmen Gate Tower up for sale?Take it!Take all the money!
This kind of commercial masterpiece with big cast, big stars, and big investment is very marketable in Korea.

At this time, Korean films were quite effective on the literary and artistic route, but commercial films have always been proved to be "nowhere to go".

Last year, "The Seed Girl" by Lin Quanze, the godfather of Bangziguo, was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. In this film, Jiang Shouyan, who was later dubbed "Kong Li Gonghuang" by the mainland, also became the most controversial actress at the Venice Film Festival .

Everyone's best actress has won the Volpi Trophy, and she returned to China with a broken award...

Until later, the Venice Film Festival did not give a particularly clear statement, and the official website still did not mark the 'Volpi Award'.

Who knows if this actress award is considered the authentic queen of the Venice Film Festival. (Gu Liang checked the official website of the Venice Film Festival, Nima, and there is no label.)
But it's not Jiang Shouyan's fault, the main reason is that the operation of the Venice Film Festival is very chaotic, otherwise it would be eagerly surpassed by the Cannes Film Festival.

The Best Actor and Queen of the three major European film festivals, Cannes is called the Best Actor and Actor Award in the main competition, Berlin is called the Silver Bear, and Venice is called the Volpi Award in the main competition.

So... Jiang Shouyan really wanted to cry.

The Shuicheng Film Festival is known as the "Best Film Festival" among film fans in later generations. It has set up a bunch of inexplicable Best Actor and Actor awards, and sometimes the media publishes announcements that are inexplicable!
Coupled with the fact that the domestic media's eyes are smeared, it's all rumors...

For example, many fans of the widow sister swore back then that Shuipi's Chunky Ball was the Queen of Venice!

In fact, she won the Best Actress Award in the upstream unit for "Lost in Translation", not the Volpi Award in the main competition, so Ai Fat Ball is not the queen of Venice!no!no!

Naomi Watts is also used to being called the Queen of Venice, but her "21 Grams" won the Venice Film Festival Audience Award for Best Actress and Female Special Award... It's not the Volpi Award, of course. Not an authentic Venice actress.

Susan Sarandon's "Atlantic City" won the Pasinetti Award for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival...also not the Venice Best Actress.

Shuicheng... Strictly speaking, only the winner of the Volpi Award can be regarded as the empress of Venice.

In the end, after some comparisons, East Asia Xinghan Film Company, the most powerful film company, finally won the cooperation right for "God of Gamblers: Immediate War".

Movies are not buyouts.

Since he intends to publish it in Korea, he will naturally not do a one-off sale.The long flow of water is the most important thing.

The reason for choosing this company for cooperation is that it also has its own branch in Dongying.

For the most special film market in Asia, it is better to have a knowledgeable guide than to go around by yourself!
Besides.

These film studios have also obtained the follow-up investment priority of "God of Gamblers: War Now", and their dividends are calculated based on box office profits.

Director Wu enthusiastically patted his chest and promised that this movie must need follow-up investment!
box office profit...

In the last film of "Harry Potter", the main protagonists were divided according to the so-called box office profits. Nima... Warner lost all his underwear for this movie.

Whether they make a profit or not depends on whether they transfer their funds to leave in the end. If they transfer, then it’s easy to say, Wu Xiaozu is very moral, let’s go through the stock market.

If you don't draw...

When you are transferred, take a walk in the stock market!

"Director Wu is indeed a good friend of our Korean filmmakers!" The Three Musketeers who led the way sighed.

In the past few days, they followed the crew and felt that they had learned a lot from their teacher Wu Xiaozu.

Even many Korean filmmakers want to invite Wu Xiaozu to enter the Korea Academy of Film Arts (KAFA) to give a lecture to the students through them.

KAFA is a professional film school established in 1984. It is different from other universities. It is not managed by the education department, but affiliated with the Bangzi Culture, Sports and Tourism Department. The funds come from the "Film Development Fund" allocated by the government, that is to say, 3% of the annual box office. It's the school's grant.

This academy is not an academic institution, and only recruits newcomers with on-set experience.The nature is very suitable for Director Wu to promote his own creative theory.

Wu Xiaozu did not refuse this kind of invitation.
