PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
'91 Locomotive Film Entertainment Limited', [-] Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon.

At this time, Gong Li was wearing a knit top with lotus leaf sleeves on his upper body, and a long navy blue skirt on his lower body, which didn't reveal his flesh, but still showed the sexiness of a woman.The skirt hugs the calf to frame the full curves.

Leng Ruojing glanced at the western-style building full of industrial and artistic atmosphere in front of him, with a look of appreciation on the corner of his mouth.

She came from a film major, and she likes this kind of literary youth.Compared with the money taste of other film companies on Hong Kong Island, 1024 Locomotive gave her the best impression.

A group of people came to Hong Kong Island for a week.

That Mr. Wu only had occasional visits and was very busy.

The other party arranged for them directly in a villa in Repulse Bay, and provided them with two brand new 'Tiger Head Ben's' and a driver, which made them speechless.

In the past seven or eight days, although the other party showed up a limited number of times, they arranged for someone to lead them to experience the scenery of Hong Kong Island, so that they really felt at home.

even……

The consumption bills these days are entirely the responsibility of the other party.

Although she didn't count carefully.

However, 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars is always available. . .

At this time, Gong Li had just experienced "Red Sorghum", and her acting career had just officially kicked off.

The status is only considered as the new generation of mainland actresses, and the most popular among mainland actresses should still be the "women are difficult, famous women are difficult, famous old women..."

She can also be regarded as the first to show her talents in the 85th grade of Chinese opera.At this time, he was only 23 years old, only 2 years older than Wang Zuzhen.

Many people say she is lucky, she is a natural actress.

But her hard work is beyond the reach of many Hong Kong actresses.At the same time, her cherishing of opportunities is also one of the main reasons why she traveled a long distance to act in Wu Xiaozu's film this time.

"What are you looking at?"

Auntie Lin smiled and walked with her Burberry bag, she was the goddess herself.

A burgundy one-neck silk top with exposed fragrant shoulders, a beige solid-color irregular hip-wrapping skirt, and an elegant fishtail design make the leg lines instantly elongated visually, swaying wasp waist, graceful and full of dignified atmosphere.

Instantly suppressing the coldness on Gong Li's body, she was full of intellectual grace.

Er... that's right.

The residence arranged by Wu Dashuihou for Gong Li and Chen Kai is another independent house of Aunt Lin in Repulse Bay.

At the same time, during this period of time, although Wu Xiaozu didn't show much, Auntie Lin did her best to be a landlord and mother-in-law.

She and Gong Li cherish each other and hit it off very much.

"It's nothing, I just think the environment here is very good. It feels very textured."

The corner of Gong Li's mouth smiled lightly. She respected little Aunt Lin very much. In terms of status, she was considered a senior in the Chinese film industry.

At the same time, the two are also very compatible in other aspects. Maybe the other party has also experienced her current emotional ups and downs?

Confidante?

who knows...

……

Office on the fourth floor.

"Wanwan, Koryo, and Malaysia... all have intentions to invest in... our film fund. Big... probably can raise no less than 7000 million Hong Kong dollars, or even more." "Little Man" The low box office of "Zhou Ji" did have a little impact on the confidence given to us by the capital market.

Fortunately, several of the projects we launched, including "Young and Dangerous 4", "Fear Room 2", and "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 2", are all sequels of hit movies, and...and all have star casts to guarantee the box office, These investors are very interested. "

Su Liyao flipped through the documents in his hands, looked up at Wu Xiaozu who was turning his back to him noncommittal, and reminded: "Of course, the most popular of the capital is your new play...Brother Zu??"

Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, condescendingly looking down at the four big, round, white and fierce waves downstairs.

"Huh? Oh...you continue to say—" Wu Xiaozu signaled Su Liyao to continue.

"..."

Su Liyao's smile froze, he pushed his glasses, and said helplessly, "Boss, I... I'm done—"

"is it?"

Seeing the four waves disappear from sight, Director Wu, a gentleman, looked away lightly.

"In the future, all the company's project financing will be posted from the film fund. You will cooperate with Sister Jiahua to make accounts of the expenses and administrative expenses of each crew. You can neither let the other party see the tricks, nor make it too ugly. All follow the process of the maximum amount to deal with."

Wu Xiaozu sold "God of Gamblers" as a film, which opened up the surge of foreign hot money for Hong Kong films.He, the instigator, is really "pushing seedlings to encourage growth" of Hong Kong films.

Nowadays, a small company dares to attract large sums of investment from foreign capital with the script and contract of a star, and it happens to be able to cheat money.

There are even some who don't even have a perfect contract, purely cutting first and playing later.

In this case, many people go crazy~
As for the box office surplus?Whether or not a movie is made is the same thing!Even if it is filmed, it is common to increase investment in the middle, cheat investors, or simply make a movie to explain to you.

Why are there so many inexplicable movies in this period that don't even make sense?

Not to mention the audience, the director himself was stunned after watching it!
Because the movie that was released, maybe it was a scene that was cut out of the remaining material of which movie, and then the name of the star was grandiosely marked, and the money was sent to the theater.

The stars dare not deny it.

If you can catch it, you can catch it. If you can’t make it, it will be released for two or three days anyway, and it will be cut in half, and the loss will not be big.

Not to mention the announcement, the posters are very simple.

At most, you will lose a little copy money.

In the previous life, Hua Tsai was the hardest hit area.

Some dramas that are obviously guest roles, when they are publicized, they always write their own names in front, and they become their own starring roles... Even when they obviously go to guest dramas, they are abruptly cut into two movies... Then there is still suffering, why can't one Terrible?
In the 90s, his salary has risen to 200 million!It even reached 700 million at one time... But why do you have to "sell your body to pay off the debt" when you set up a Tianmu film company and lost tens of millions?
The main reason is that the big brothers don't give money! ! ! o(╥﹏╥)o!

Director Wu still has a certain professional ethics. Although he cheats money, the quality of the film can be guaranteed. At the same time, he really puts out real money to fight for the good name. It doesn't matter who the money is, at least those investors say it. It sounds good too, right?

Of course, the object of cheating money should also be carefully analyzed.

There are some one-shot deals, and you will feel sorry for yourself if you don’t cheat.Some trickle down, just reduce profits.

The film investment of 1024 Locomotive Film Company and River Lake Rescue Film Company will be transferred from the 'Charitable Film Fund'.Not to mention other things, the management fee is enough to maintain daily expenses.

At the same time, behind the film fund is the relationship of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

"The investment of "Dragon Inn" is initially set at 1500 million to 2000 million. In the early stage, we have allocated no less than 500 million funds for the early stage of team building. This project gives priority to external financing. The production costs of the crew have begun to be remitted into the investment funds In order to facilitate the calculation after the subsequent funds enter."

Wu Xiaozu said with a faint smile, "Also, this film will go to mainland China for filming, and the fatigue of the rides and horses needs to be estimated in advance. At the same time, the salary of the crew will be raised as compensation. The specific food, drink, sleep, equipment, venue, group The cost of the performance also requires a comprehensive plan and backup plan.

I have arranged for Ah Yin and Ashin to set up the interior scenes of this film in their studio in Sha Tin.For location scenes, my favorite is Dunhuang.However, the details need to be discussed with the local government, and it needs to be decided after the real scene survey! "

Although it is going to the mainland to shoot, but in order to control costs, naturally not all of them will be arranged to shoot in the mainland.

Don't talk about the chariots and horses, and there is no need for that.For interior scenes, you only need to build a studio on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, the mainland must also build a 'Dragon Inn'.

Unlike fashion dramas, the preparations for costume dramas are much more complicated.Professionals are needed from clothing, weapons, venues, and makeup.

This aspect was originally Wu Xiaozu's weakness.

fortunately--

The "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" filmed by the big breasted brother has a good experience in this area, and the other party will also be one of the assistant directors of "Dragon Inn".At the same time, Wu Xiaozu also called Hu Jinquan and Li Hanxiang and asked them to introduce experts in this field.

At the same time, I also asked Director Wu Tianming of Xiying Film Studio to help find it.

This kind of talent is relatively scarce on Hong Kong Island, and even Hu Jinquan now needs to contact scholars from Wanwan for help in filming "Swordsman".

However, this is not so difficult for the mainland.Especially the contacts of this kind of old film studio.

"By the way, is the subtitle of "God of Gamblers" done well? How about Xinbao Cinemas?" Wu Xiaozu asked with concern.

As the summer holidays approach, major companies have also started their own actions.

In this day and age, the summer holiday season is the biggest box office season, and Hollywood is no exception!

The later stage of "God of Gamblers" has been completed, and it is also ready to go.

This drama is not only related to the competition for the summer vacation, but also a series of subsequent actions, and even the temptation of the stock market.

"Xinbao Cinemas agreed to add a pre-roll advertisement."

Su Liyao replied: "We have also recently cooperated with TVB's advertising department, and the advertisements continued until the selection of Miss Hong Kong..."

……

"In the past, this company was located in the tea restaurant at No. 1024, Tin Hau MTR Station. That's why it's called 1024 Locomotive Film Company."

Auntie Lin stretched out her hand gracefully and touched the mailbox in front of her with a smile, "This camera-shaped mailbox is very famous in Hong Kong Island. Every day, fans from many parts of the world send letters. At the same time, during this period of time, Korea, Taiwan Tourists from the Bay will also take a group photo when they come here.

This is very unique in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.Even Golden Harvest and New Art City have shot countless good films, but they still don't have such an impact..."

Gong Li looked carefully at the mailbox, and suddenly felt something in his body, so he raised his head to look.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Lin asked with concern.

"Oh...it's nothing, maybe I got it wrong. Let's go in—" Gong Li smiled and shook his head without leaving a trace, "Don't make Director Wu wait too long."

"He won't blame him. Azu is very approachable. You have only been in contact with him for a short time, so you just don't know him well. After you get to know him better, you will know his strengths and weaknesses..." The little aunt joked, "You can let him Inviting me personally is enough to see how much I value you."

"I am also very grateful to Director Wu for his attention."

Gong Li raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Aunt Lin, "Sister Qingxia, please take care of me when the time comes."

"Take care of what?"

The little aunt smiled.

Gong Li also laughed.How could she not see that the relationship between Lin Qingxia and Wu Xiaozu was irresistible, seeing Lin Qingxia's casual attitude when talking about Wu Xiaozu, it was enough to see that the two were as close as siblings.

"Azu's filming is very strict, especially for the actors. Rebates will take away your best form. Maybe you are used to the methods or styles of other directors, but with him you will be stripped clean, leaving the last The original you. I say this, maybe you don’t have a deep understanding, and you will know when you are filming.”

Aunt Lin smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, you can ask him for advice if you have any questions, and he will give you answers and guidance at any time."

"I will." Gong Li nodded.

At this time, there is a little expectation in my heart.

She hasn't seen many other movies, but she has seen "Suspect".According to Zhang Guoying's description, the other party really pushes you away bit by bit, and then leaves the essence he wants most.

However, this did not scare her away, but inspired her to be competitive!
She herself is very curious about Wu Xiaozu.

According to reports, the other party served as the final judge for the selection of Miss Hong Kong Island.During this period of time, this great director appeared frequently in the news of newspapers and TV stations.This feeling is very different from the mainland.

In the mainland, no director has such public popularity and influence.

"Oops—it's too hot~"

Gu Changwei's suit was pulled down to below the shoulders, and the vertical striped shirt inside was tightly attached to the back, showing the camisole inside.

The trousers are rolled up on the calf, the white socks reach the third of the calf, and the heels are pulling the leather shoes...

The most eye-catching thing is the big golden chain hanging around the neck and the big sunglasses on the bridge of the nose.

"Let's go in first and talk about it—the air-conditioning is blowing inside."

The sweaty, big-breasted brother with ponytails got out of the car, shook the folding fan vigorously, and stretched out his hand to push Comrade Gu.

In the past few days, every night, Fei Chengcheng entertained Lao Chen and Xiao Gu and the others well. Lao Chen himself was quite serious, but Xiao Gu and Fei Cheng really hit it off. Moment irreversible.

"Hey~ Brother Cheng, wait for me..."

Comrade Xiao Gu kept up with 'Brother Cheng', swinging the big gold necklace around his neck back and forth, his neck was burnt red, but he was still reluctant to take it off.

Chen Kaige followed behind in a T-shirt and jeans, and the rest of the mainland staff also dressed normally.

no way……

Xiao Gu likes this 'big water hose' dress.

When they rushed into the company, they happened to meet Lin Qingxia and Gong Li, and hurriedly greeted them.

Fei Cheng also changed his brazen manner just now, and greeted little Aunt Lin respectfully.

Brother Chen Kai and Gu Changwei are also used to it.In the past few days, every time the fat man met Lin Qingxia, he was unexpectedly respectful!
They didn't think much about it, they just thought that Lin Qingxia had a high status.

　I'm going to have a pedicure tomorrow...it hurts so much!I am changing "God of Gamblers".These chapters are a bit confusing... Could it be caused by paronychia? ?
