Chapter 49

"New play?"

"New play."

Wu Xiaozu motioned him to sit down, and said calmly, "The script has just been completed, and I was bored and drew a few sketches and storyboards. I will pick the characters in the past two days, and the scene will start when the scene is completed. I have already asked Fat Guy, The idiot formed and signed the contract."

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozu pointed at Qiu Litao and smiled, "I can't tell if my show will be played in front of you."

"Okay, but Brother Zu, you want me to pull Feicheng, Adong, and Ayao to help start the work." Qiu Litao smiled, "It makes no sense to start work and not take care of your own people. Besides, the new crew can support me even if they are there, Make it a little easier for me to shoot.”

What the director likes is the familiar crew.There is nothing wrong with that.As for Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Zu Liyao.All of them have seen the hard work of filmmaking and witnessed the big sales of the film.Fei Cheng, Luo Dong, and Zu Liyao walked here, it was a matter of course.

Since they are interested, Wu Xiaozu is also happy to see them.

At this time, the three can gain more filmmaking experience, and Wu Xiaozu has no reason not to agree.He never considered his three brothers any worse than other half-way filmmakers.

How many professionals are there in the film industry on Hong Kong Island?Not all of them became monks halfway through, and they tried their best to get out.Since others can, there is no reason why a few brothers can't!
"Beat them hard." Wu Xiaozu warned like a parent.

"OK Zu brother, don't worry, I will greet them well. Make sure you practice hard enough—"

Qiu Litao's long hair fluttered in the wind, and his swarthy face showed small white teeth, a proper long-haired version of Song Xiaobao.

Looking at the stupid Qiu Litao, it was too late for Wu Xiaozu to go back and say anything.I only wish the three to seek more happiness from themselves.

"This play is still Brother Jiahui?" Qiu Litao asked with a smile, "Playing the side? (Which one?)"

"No, this—"

Wu Xiaozu pointed to the bald man lying in a pool of blood on the storyboard.The storyboard only draws certain segments.The final answer, including the script, has not been revealed. Before the filming officially started, Wu Xiaozu did not plan to play his trump card.

The biggest surprise of "Fear Room" is undoubtedly the role of Liang Gahui!But Wu Xiaozu did not describe it in the script.

This is not Wu Xiaozu's suspicion alone, but a common method in the film industry.Needless to say, Hollywood has a high legal awareness of confidentiality clauses.The Chinese film industry has done a lot worse in this regard, and it has also prompted the screenwriters and directors to think of such an opportunistic trick.In the future, it has also become a drawback of Chinese-language films, killing many Wanwan film businessmen.

Over the past few years, the king of sunglasses has relied on this trick to spit out the blood of investors.

Many people in later generations know that Wang Jiawei's script, just read it, don't take it seriously.Because, he will not follow the original script 100%, and will only dawdle slowly.Otherwise, I must have encountered a fake Wang Jiawei, such as "ZQ Forest", which was shot continuously for a month with editing, and the style of a fast shooter bluffed a lot of people.

"?"

"??"

Qiu Litao and Jiang Zhiqiang looked confused, and the capitalized "calm" appeared in their expressions, looking at Wu Xiaozu like looking at aliens.

"Brother Jia Fai's side shot the shot, and it happened to be bald, so it's not a problem." Wu Xiaozu explained it as a matter of course.

"Pick new people to support the show?" Jiang Zhiqiang was puzzled.

Whether or not the Wanwan side will block matters that belong to the foreign market, this is a later story.In the local market, the aftermath of the hype is that Liang Gahui is much more famous in the entertainment circle than in the same period of his previous life.A third-tier star.

"I inquired about several new TVB actors with Sister Shao, and I think my new drama is very suitable." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

There is Big Sister Shao, a TVB direct descendant (sister-in-law) who is undercover. There is no reason not to cheat... abduct... cough... pick... find a few newcomers who are temporarily ignored.

Besides, Wu Xiaozu didn't want Liang Gahui to be framed as a "perverted professional" or "horror movie actor".

Even a director like Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but fall into solidification after shooting several ghost films. In order to break this shackle, he could only choose to change his name to Lai Dawei, Liu Yumin, Chen Xianzhi and other names to shoot "91 Condor Heroes", "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", "Forever", not to mention Liang Gahui?
For this reason, Liu Zhenwei did not know how many reporters and film critics he had offended.Because every time they write an article, they know it's him, but they can't be sure.I felt that not only was my personality humiliated, but my IQ was also insulted.

"Newbie, can you get it?"

"If you don't try, someone will know?" Wu Xiaozu smiled confidently. "If Liang Gahui doesn't play Lin Guoyun, how would he know that he can play not only the weak Xianfeng, but also the creepy pervert?"

"Betting again?" Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and asked with interest, "How big is this bet?"

"Is 80 good?" Wu Xiaozu said with a casual smile.

"You speak, I will support you for 800 million!"

Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other and laughed, the two gamblers were having a good time.

"You shake the color, I have no reason not to follow. Besides, you are so careful and professional?"

Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at the thick script and storyboard, then smiled and drew out three cigars, dispersing the two, "A few days ago, a man on the street told me about investment with a one-page outline. It was only 300 million when he opened his mouth! Jiang Zhiqiang looks like Kaizi?"

"It's not like Kaizi, there must be a big water hose." Qiu Litao joked beside him.

"Rainy Night Butcher" earned millions, and Jiang Zhiqiang's reputation as a big water pipe in the circle spread like wildfire.Countless "fish guys" who were filming came to catch Jiang Zhiqiang, a "water fish".

After the film market became hot, there were two special groups in the Hong Kong Island film circle, one group was called "fish guy" and the other group was called "water fish".

The water fish is the fat sheep that is deceived.The fishermen are naturally those liars.

Among them, Taiwanese and Southeast Asian filmmakers have become "water fish".Unexpectedly, he found Jiang Zhiqiang's head.

"I'm just a stupid bird flying first. There are so many savvy people in Hong Kong, of course I have to find another way. It's not just one or two shrimps that are eaten." Wu Xiaozu chuckled.

"I haven't seen the stupid bird, but there is only one eagle." Jiang Zhiqiang laughed, "How many stupid birds can make millions of dollars at the box office? Are all bugs blind?" After speaking, he pointed to the storyboard and script, " At the very least, they are cheating like you. Could it be that the Hong Kong Island film industry is already so good at making money?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly, noncommittal.

Hong Kong Island filmmakers now have open eyes and pupils, all of which are $$ symbols. You tell them about polishing the script?They are right to greet your mother.Wu Xiaozu also likes money, but his vision is a little farther than these people.

Well, about 30+ years in length.

"You must have money, but you may not make money." Wu Xiaozu exhaled a cigarette and said slowly, "I have received at least dozens of calls recently, and they asked me to open a movie. ..." Speaking of which, Wu Xiaozu nodded his head and laughed to himself, "All of them are my lucky boys."

"Even if I am a lucky boy, why should I abandon the true Guanyin and go to the mud bodhisattva?" Wu Xiaozu laughed and teased.

All of them look like hello, me, and everyone.Open-mouthed compliments, but nothing of substance.When is Wu Xiaozu a three-year-old child?There is no benefit or benefit at all, do you really think Wu Xiaozu is a good classmate who sacrifices himself for others?If you can make money, why let you on board?

There is no benefit, why should Wu Xiaozu leave the near and seek far?
"Haha... It seems that you are also regarded as a fish in the water." Jiang Zhiqiang laughed, "Maybe they think that as long as they draw a broad blueprint, they will definitely let you, the new director, worship you..."

"So now the movie market is in a mess. Fans, clubs, stallholders, and even popsicle sellers can't wait to get in. It seems that everyone thinks this business is good for money..." Qiu Litao joked. , "Who asked you to pay tens of millions for a small-budget horror movie!"

The three laughed together.

While Qiu Litao went downstairs to get the tea, Jiang Zhiqiang flipped his palm, "60, five or five points?"

"Of course I don't think it's too hot for you to send money to me. Otherwise, I can only use my wife's book!" Wu Xiaozu readily accepted Jiang Zhiqiang's investment and share ratio.

The total investment of 80 yuan, the other party invested 60 yuan, and 1024 naturally invested 20 yuan.But the production share ratio is fifty-fifth.Using other people's money to make money, there is no reason to disagree.From this point of view, Jiang Zhiqiang, the big water piper, is indeed very forthright.

At least he knows how to throw money!
In the production of a film, it is undoubtedly rare for a director to put his entire net worth to make a film.Financing is the normal production process.

At the beginning, Wu Xiaozu was forced to take over all his net worth.If possible, he will definitely choose to "borrow the chicken to lay the egg".Unless those chickens are really unreliable.

In film production, various interests must be balanced and considered.Production is just one part of it.

Since every filming is a gamble, how can you be sure that you will win?

From Hollywood to Hong Kong Island, watch it again, how many directors have made a film and paid for the filming alone?Among them are directors who have established film companies.

Who is the real big director who will gamble on his wealth to make a film?Even if he is the owner of a film company.

Capital is a force that cannot be ignored in the film market itself.Especially when it comes to big productions.

At the same time, Wu Xiaozu does not think that he has an aura of invincibility, and the movies he shoots will definitely sell well.

Making a movie is like shaking the color at the gambling table, buying and leaving, no one dares to bet that they will win.Wu Xiaozu is not a god, even if he is a god, he is not a god of gambling.

Luck is something that God doesn't know.Therefore, sharing the risk is the proper question.

That kind of independent betting after making money and making big profits one by one only exists in obscenity.Stupid makes people envious of his innocence and innocence.

Is it really delicious to eat alone?

If you don't even know how to share your interests, how can you let publishers and theaters support you?There are many interests in a movie, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't think he can handle them all.

The same goes for Xu Ke, Xu Guanwen and others.Xu's film company and film studio have more capital than Wu Xiaozu, but they also require financing and cooperation.

There are too many tricks in a mature movie from production to post-production to distribution, and finally to release.Sharing benefits and sharing risks is the last word.

Moreover, Wu Xiaozu needs Jiang Zhiqiang's support now.This is especially true when the three majors are showing signs of "clearing the field".

In fact, there are often only two consequences of eating alone.

One, you eat until you vomit.

Two, you vomit after eating.

Wu Xiaozu didn't like being passive, so he might as well choose to hug his thighs early.

　Thank you for the reward, thank you for your support! ... a business trip disrupted the update rhythm... tired as a dog... let me slow down...
