Mong Kok.

The flow of people is like weaving, and there are huge crowds of people.

For several consecutive days of publicity, the initial publicity cost was not less than 300 million. After the subsequent release, the publicity department of 1024 Locomotive was ready for battle, bought several newspaper pages, hired more than 70 film critics, and was always ready.

If it is hot, it must be hot, if it is not hot, it will be artificially hot!
Three days ago, "First Blood 3" was released, and the box office won more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars in three days.Golden Harvest hit the first box office of the summer season!
yesterday. "School Situation" was released, relying on Lin Lingdong's box office appeal and Golden Princess' strong publicity and distribution capabilities, the box office was also good.The day's revenue exceeded 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

The box office of both dramas is very good, and many people have a clear estimate of the popularity of this year's summer file.

In the bustling area in front of the theater, officers in military uniform increased police patrols to prevent stampedes.Doing good deeds for the people, no one can fault them!

Last week, 1024 Locomotive Film Company donated another 50 yuan of heatstroke prevention supplies to the police station to keep the police and the people as a family.

At the same time, it also donated 50 Hong Kong dollars to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for the treatment of women and children.

The "Film Supernova Centennial Support Program" under the Wu Xiaozu Film Charity Fund has also officially established a project. The first batch of supported films are "City of Sadness" and "Cell of Fear 2".

Of course, there is also a "Venture Investment Project for New World Film Forces" in the fund, which is mainly for the purpose of cashing out. . . .

The red carpet is set at about 20 meters, and the entire venue has long been surrounded with three floors inside and three floors outside.

"Princess! Concubine! Concubine!"

Countless boys and girls with dyed locks of colored hair waved their support cards and screamed hoarsely at the cool-looking princess walking on the red carpet.

The paparazzi were also overwhelmed with taking pictures with their cameras.

"Wow!!! Brother!!!"

"I'm ashamed of you! This lineup is more star-studded than the Academy Awards!" A reporter couldn't help spitting as he watched the stars passing by in a hurry

Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guoying, Liang Jiahui, Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Lin Qingxia, Wang Zucheng, Anita Mui, Roy Yijian, Princess Wang, Zhou Huimin, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Aijia... There are more than dozens of stars, big and small.

This is not counting the presence of filmmakers from the Directors Association and Camera Association!Tsui Hark, Wu Yusen, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang, Wang Jiawei, Teddy Robin, Chen Xinjian, Wu Siyuan, Jiang Dawei, Xu Anhua and countless others also joined in.

Blind the eyes of many people.

Wu Xiaozu's connections in the entertainment industry are fully revealed, and it was not in vain that he went around to add...ahem...to make like-minded friends everywhere.

"I heard that the seats in the back row and the middle floor of the theater have been sold for hundreds of yuan a piece."

A paparazzi pointed at the camera and muttered in a low voice, "It is said that Mr. Hu from the family of 'Huo is not Huo', several dignitaries from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, justices of the peace, and many people from the financial sector, the rich and famous in the city all came. Come on, but instead of going on the red carpet, they all go through the staff aisle."

"Huo~"

The few paparazzi who listened with pricked up ears couldn't help but be stunned. This little bum in the past has actually entered the upper class today?

Although the status of the entertainment industry has improved in recent years, the ceiling is still there... But for the real bosses, the ceiling of their group is just the floor of others.

Everyone wants to be able to break the ceiling, but those really big hosers naturally want the floor to be as strong as possible. . .It is difficult for someone to walk up easily.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaozu really found a way.

"Some people say that his net worth is at least ten figures!" Someone secretly said.

"Ten million, ten million... Diao! More than a billion?"

The companion stared wide-eyed, with an expression of disbelief, "How is it possible!"

"I can't say for sure. He is a director of many companies, and he has become popular in the film market in recent years. He may be worth more than a billion yuan!"

In the 80s, Hong Kong Island with a net worth of billions was already close to the first-class rich.One billion can be counted as the top ranks.It's just a gap with those super rich people... But who are those people?All are legends.

"Pu Ta's old mother! This Wu Xiaozu..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could complain, the person next to him interrupted.They are not afraid of celebrities, officials or even bad guys, but they really have to be cautious with the rich.People can run over them casually.

Compared with Young and Dangerous, they are really not popular.

"Speaking of which, it's really inspirational ~ more than one billion ~ Not to mention the net worth, the status is enough for a female star to go on..."

Everyone was silent for a while, and finally, no one knew who let out a long sigh.A few paparazzi are inexplicably a bit dull!They really talk about it, they are just the bottom of the entertainment circle...

……

Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong smiled and greeted the insiders who came to watch the movie, and then introduced Boss Cai next to them to everyone in Hong Kong with a very enthusiastic look.

"The duration of this movie is about 118 minutes, including the subtitles. It should be more than 120 minutes. I hope that our Xinbao Theater can guarantee the number of shows and do a good job of publicity. At the same time, Azu suggested that they want to open in the front hall of the theater. Peripheral product display cabinets, the rent is paid as normal, I thought about it, this can also be considered as an increase in income for the theater..."

Cai Songlin held the wine glass and greeted the visitors one by one. Lang Gu Yingshi also restrained his posture, glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said softly: "This time is also an opportunity. We will start the summer vacation, so the new treasure theater line In the absence of resistance..."

"Of course, everyone has the same interests, so naturally we have to support Director Wu." Feng Bingzhong echoed with a chuckle, "Everyone loses, everyone wins! Don't worry, Cai sir..."

"That's right, I'm looking forward to the release of "God of Gamblers" this time." Chen Rongmei also responded enthusiastically.

Cai Songlin smiled, noncommittal.

Whether or not the two of them have thought carefully, he will not go into it. The movie "God of Gamblers" has his investment, which is the most practical way to achieve his own interests.

Chen Rongmei turned around with a gloomy expression.

As the 1024 locomotive became more and more powerful and involved in the distribution industry, the box office share it occupied also increased a lot.In this case, his interests are naturally squeezed.

However, he is a businessman.

When it is profitable, he will not easily attack.But that doesn't mean he doesn't have ideas.Once the several film companies he supports start to make efforts, he will naturally take care of his own interests at the first time.

So what if Wu Xiaozu's box office is high?He, Chen Rongmei, can't get the big head again!
.........

The second floor of the theater, the VIP room.

The big nose hugged Wu Xiaozu vigorously, and lightly punched him in the chest, tasted it: "Azu, didn't we agree to work together on a movie before. This movie won't really be your last movie, right? "

His words immediately made Tsui Hark and Wu Yusen prick up their ears.

"It's just a rumor. I told the reporter before that maybe I will only make ten movies that I am satisfied with in my life. Of course, I do plan to take a rest after a few years of filming. I have shot six or seven movies in the past two years, which is really true. Very tired." Wu Xiaozu spread his hands, "It's too hard to be in our line of work!"

"Indeed, but if you have a chance, you can really try to cooperate.",

Sanmao also leaned over with her stomach full, holding a cigar between her fat fingers, and said with a red face and a happy smile, "Joyce has been talking about you and Xiaoxian recently in the film crew. We have a chance to get together. I heard that you bought a new mansion." How about it, when will you invite us to sit down?"

Gao Lihong is currently filming the fantasy comedy "Ghost Foot" directed by Sammo Hung.

"I've been busy lately, next week. I just happen to be having a party at home, and I'll invite everyone to join us!" Xiaozu Wu smiled, not surprised that Wang Xianxian and Gao Doumei showed off their luxury house.

"Parties are my favorite."

The big nose patted Wu Xiaozu on the shoulder, and he said kindly: "At that time, I will definitely give you a big gift as a housewarming gift!" After speaking, he paused, and then said: "The screenwriter of my company wrote A notebook, the scene is very big, are you interested in talking about it together?"

At this point in time, Uncle Long's box office appeal is number one among Chinese!At the same time, he is also the only Chinese actor who has entered the '2000 million club' in Hollywood. The salary of "Rush Hour 3" plus dividends has reached as high as 4000 million US dollars!
At his peak, he was regarded as a quasi-first-line actor in Hollywood.Moreover, he is very popular in the home video market, ranking among the top several all year round.

"Jiahe has been committed to developing the North American market for these years. I am also well-known there. You are also famous internationally. The two of us should be very successful in cooperating!" Cheng Long danced and looked very excited.

It can be seen that he is indeed quite ambitious.

"Okay, we have a chance to study it together." Wu Xiaozu readily agreed.Wu Xiaozu didn't object to the other party's proposal.

However, the cooperation between the two involves Locomotive 1024 and Golden Harvest, which cannot be finalized in a short while.But it's really a gimmick to be able to cooperate!

Maybe you can use the other party's channel to test the Hollywood water?
The cooperation between Golden Harvest and Hollywood for so many years is not hard work. Cheng Long was able to go on in North America in the later stage. The reason is that Golden Harvest opened up many channels in the early stage.Coupled with Cheng Long's own ability to attract money at the box office.

The 80s and 90s were also the most prosperous period for action movies.When Uncle Long didn't attack Sabak every night and was obsessed with games, his professionalism and box office appeal were beyond doubt.

...

In the hallway downstairs, Li Lianjie shyly thanked the man with two headlights hanging in front of him: "Thank you ~ Mr. Li."

"No thanks! The boss specifically told me to take good care of you~ Since you are valued by the boss, everyone will send a few people."

The D Ben D shaking breasts on the chest of the big-breasted brother trembled up and down, turning the folding fan, and said with a smile, "Boss originally wanted to meet you in person, but you also know that he has recently served as a judge for Miss Hong Kong with Mr. Hu. I really can't get away. I hope you don't blame..."

"It's ok."

Li Lianjie hurriedly said, "I have watched Director Wu's movies, and I am very happy to be able to act in his play!"

"You are really lucky. Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, and Liang Jiahui are all playing for you... Take advantage of the opportunity." Fei Cheng squinted his eyes and patted the other party's shoulder thoughtfully.

Wu Xiaozu asked him to take care of Li Lianjie, not only to take care of Li Lianjie, but also to ask him to sign Li Lianjie, at least five cheap drama contracts——

There is no benefit, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't need to praise him, right?

"Thirty drama contracts are the basic funds, and the rest of the agency contracts can be signed under Star Entertainment." As soon as Fei Cheng opened his mouth, he doubled it six times.

"Cough cough cough... 3... 30 plays???!!!"

Li Lianjie almost spit out his soda, opened his eyes wide, and stumbled: "This...this...this——"

"A little bit? Too much?"

Fei Cheng folded his folding fan, sighed in disgust, and squeezed his ass to the side, "Brother, don't mention you, I don't like it too much! But, this is not without benefits..."

Li Lianjie stared at him with the expression that I don't read much, don't lie to me.

"Brother, to be honest, you are a piece of material, you can shine everywhere. In fact, what's so good about being an actor or a star?

You see them living in villas, owning luxury cars, beauties in luxury cars, applause and cheers everywhere, endless money to spend, and others calling the wind and rain, but the suffering inside is not for outsiders.

.To be honest, you might as well start a company and be a director! "

Li Lianjie smiled awkwardly without losing face.He rushed to the street as a director, and almost lost his pants in business.

"Thirty films, it's like starting a company and receiving thirty orders. One order makes money..." Fei Cheng slowly figured it out, "It's also tiring! Of course, the drought and flood guarantee! Anyway, the film contracts are signed, so I won't shoot you There is no need to refund the money, which is much easier. With a big boss, maybe you can also become a big star...

Neither Luo Yijian nor Zhang Guoying received such treatment!

It's a steady profit but not a loss!

Having said that, who can guarantee that they will succeed if they come for a clean slate?
Brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, the company Xingyao signed you, of course it is to see that you have potential?

I'm not like outsiders, in order to sign you, I have to belittle you!

That's nothing!
We hit it off, and we are not outsiders.

I think you really have the ability to become a big star.I do not deny this.But then again, there are many powerful people in your interior, right?There is no shortage of champions, right?So, this is your chance too!

Since the company values ​​you, it naturally wants to focus on cultivating you. Think about it, who can easily get the male lead OF from my boss Wu Xiaozu himself?Anyway, you shouldn’t suffer a loss if you sign, of course, the decision is yours..."

Fei Cheng put his arms around Li Lianjie's shoulders, playing tricks with a clear understanding of righteousness.

"I know too...but 30..." Li Lianjie was a little confused.

"How about this, let's talk about the bottom line first, and then talk slowly. Le Yiling from the artist department is too easy to communicate with." Fei Cheng guided.

"Do you want... not 15?" Li Lianjie tried.

"It's fine! I'll use 10 movies in five years to discuss. If it works, don't thank me, and if it doesn't, don't blame me!" Fei Cheng said solemnly.

"It's troublesome brother." Li Lianjie's eyes showed joy.

In fact, he didn't have many opportunities to choose, Wu Xiaozu must be the best choice!

In his previous life, when he was popular, he signed four plays with Golden Harvest for two years, and the salary for each play was 150 million.

At this time, his salary was not as high as 150 million.Being able to sign such a multi-part contract is not a bad result for him. . .

Of course, whether you will think so in the future is another matter.

Just as he was walking towards his seat with Li Lianjie in his arms, he suddenly saw Wang Zuchen walking over with Li Jue in a sexy and choppy dress.

"Where's Brother Zu?" Wang Zuzhen asked suspiciously, "I haven't seen him for a long time..."

"Boss is going upstairs."

Fei Cheng pointed to the box on the upper floor, "Many wealthy people in the city came to join in the show, and Brother Zu has to entertain him himself, so he has no skills at all."

"Oh..." Wang Zuzhen
"Director Li~" Li Zhi also took the initiative to say hello.

"Huh? You called me?"

Li Lianjie directly agreed... and then looked at the other party's surprised reflection, and instantly understood that he was acting affectionate.

It was clearly Li Licheng who was called by the other party. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Zhi in front of him, his heart pounding.

"Sorry, I thought you were calling me."

"It's ok."

Li Zhi nodded and smiled politely, then turned her face aside, her mind was full of what Fat Cheng just said about the "rich man in the city".

"Why don't we go up too, the movie should start soon? Didn't you say you want to call Mr. Wu to give a speech together? Don't delay..."

"Then I'll go up first."

Wang Zuzhen also smiled at Li Lianjie lightly, then took Li Zhi's hand and walked up to the second floor.

　I arrived in Shanghai today, and I will go to Ningbo and Hangzhou tomorrow... I suddenly caught a cold, so uncomfortable!I didn't catch a cold in the Great North, but I caught a cold here... The stuffy nose is really annoying, and I kept crying!
