My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 513
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
Wu Xiaozu easily arranged for Gu Zai to enter the drama department of the Academy of Performing Arts and the TVB artist training class.Among them, the opening day of the School of Performing Arts is the first school day in September in autumn. At the same time, as an auditor, he entered the 9th session of the TVB artist training class.

The wireless training class was suspended for several years after the 1983th issue in 12, and it was not resumed until last year. In 1984, two recruiting classes were held. Sister Shao was a student of this recruiting class. At the same time, there was also a 168cm air-conditioner recruited by dance—the famous Guo Tianwang!
Guo Tianwang loves tall girls the most.In later generations, when I fall in love with Ms. Xiong at 178, I feel that if the cervical spine is not good, this relationship will not be possible.

Because of Xiao Guo's good dancing, Feng Meiji, the head of TVB's artist department, appreciated him and made him a regular.This year, due to the event, he was highly praised by TVB and entered the "Galaxy Ten Stars", consisting of five men and five women who are handsome and beautiful.Not to mention the members, anyway, this group died worse than Zhao Si's father, among which Qiu Mada and Xiao Guo were undoubtedly the most famous.

Qiu Mada's interpersonal skills are estimated to be MAX, and he is known as a small interpersonal expert on the broadcasting channel.Why do you say that?

Because, at the same time, she also mixed into Wireless Nine Dragon Girls... This title was called out by Huang Zhan indiscriminately~ The list is not introduced, anyway, it is similar to the existence of plastic sisters.

The relationship between people in the entertainment industry is always very strange. For example, in later generations, if Han Xiangtian hadn’t borrowed another 500 years and Brother Lei was soaring at Li Xiaozun’s house, you would have imagined that they would have crossed paths... Li Zun’s post bar bosses are all confused Forced to cut.

In short, many people always say that celebrities are actors... As everyone knows, any celebrity who is mixed up, apart from their status, they also belong to the rich class. . . .Many company bosses may not earn as much as others, let alone wage earners.

You can also think of celebrities as self-employed bosses.Stars themselves have commodity attributes.

It's like a movie.

Wu Xiaozu has always regarded filmmaking as the production of the company's products, and the investment of capital may not be a means of investment and financial management. From this point of view, the film itself is also an investment product or financial product.

In this way, the director is undoubtedly the product manager.All teams need to be integrated to highlight the biggest selling point of the product.

This is also the point of view that the capital market of later generations treats movies.

This argument has been refuted by countless self-proclaimed art filmmakers in later generations. Is it really that important whether it is correct or not?
Wu Xiaozu didn't think it had much influence.

On the contrary, if you don't consider the market reaction at all, and ignore the commodity attributes of the movie, that is the real cheating!

For example, the pit king with a melancholy face in front of him-price.

1024 Locomotive Movie Entertainment Company, office, Wang Jiawei sat across from him bitterly and bitterly.

Director Wu ground the coffee himself, handed it to the other party, crossed his legs, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Come to my place if you have time? How is the filming of "Days of Being Wild" going?"

"Hey..." It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, when it is mentioned, Wang Jiawei puts the undrinked coffee on the table, sighs, and looks at Director Wu as if asking for help, "Brother Zu——"

"Jiawei~"

Wu Xiaozu didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and directly sighed and shook his head affectionately, "I really can't help you with the financial problem, brother Zu doesn't have any money left..."

"??"

Wang Jiawei was puzzled, and quickly explained, "No, Brother Zu, I don't want money."

"Then tell me." Wu Xiaozu relaxed on the back of the sofa.

"I have no shortage of funds. The four companies of Yongsheng, Fuyi, Yingzhijie, and Tomson each raised more than 4000 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot two parts." Wang Jiawei told the truth.

hehe~
Wu Xiaozu looked at Wang Jiawei who didn't care, and kept smiling.

If there is no accident this time, it must be a loss!

However, as for how much the four companies lost, it is not necessarily clear.How much of the four families' money came from their own pockets is really not certain.It is estimated that they are all coaxing money from those filmmakers in Nanyang.

The same is true in previous lives.

Ever since Wu Xiaozu started using "God of Gamblers" to sell movies, it's amazing!All Southeast Asian filmmakers came here in a swarm!This drama is really too 'positive and typical'.

In a short period of time, those film studios who signed guaranteed distribution terms with E7 also followed suit and drank a lot of soup.

Now it will be released on the 13th, with a box office of 3700 million!It is certain to break the 4000 million box office record of "Double Heroes".

The ruts of the past are the lessons of the past.

This film gave a good start to all filmmakers who want to 'sell a film'!
Recently, many people are envious of the good luck of the four companies!Many filmmakers are also preparing to buy online distribution rights in various places.

This year's "Days of Being Wild" lineup is also sharp!
Zhang Guoyan was still abducted by Wang Jiawei, and at the same time included the lll-level male god Liang Chaowei.Don't tell me, since the filming of "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", no matter what, compared with the same period in history, Wai Jai's box office appeal must have increased a lot.

Liu Dehua caught the last train and was pushed in by Zhang Guozhong from Yongsheng's United Arts.

Ying Zhijie saw Yongsheng Sairen, and he didn't allow much room, so Zhang Xueyuan also came in.

Actors: Zhang Guoying, Liang Chaowei, Liu Dehua, and Zhang Xueyu are definitely considered to be a strong lineup.In terms of actresses, Qiu Mada perfectly cosplayed the virtuous, independent, quiet and complex Ah Zhen in "Carmen in Mong Kok" and replaced Zhang Manyu's role. After all, the most outstanding character of Manshen at this time is the motorcycle-riding Ah Mei in "Police Story" , is also known as a beauty without a soul.

Qiu Shu is really different!She is now a recognized acting school!
Changed from a lively and cute character design to become a representative of independent modern women... Of course, it is also related to her strong interpersonal skills.At least when filming "Carmen in Mong Kok", Wang Jiawei appreciated her dedication and dedication.

Keng Wang originally wanted to invite Wu Xiaozu, but Boss Wu refused to agree, citing the preparation of a new film as an excuse.

Willow New Wine in Old Bottles Jingle Bells, I don’t know who left, but they still came in.

Mentioning her, Wu Xiaozu has a lot of aftertaste.The opponent is especially capable of tossing.

Because of the award of "The Suspect" and the strong public relations and public opinion at the time, Zhang Guoyi has a higher status than the film industry of the same period.

Originally, Wu Xiaozu didn't want him to act... After all, knowing that this drama would hit the street, letting him appear in the scene would affect his own value.But Zhang Guoyi himself likes this script very much.

At the same time, Wang Jiawei must give full play to his writer's thinking to shoot this drama, and the box office will definitely be a hit, but the honor should be able to make up for Zhang Guoyi's loss in the ticket market.

Wu Xiaozu is also considering to train him in an international art cafe recently. It can be regarded as a sign and facade in the future, just like Liang Chaowei's line in later generations... As for Wei Zai himself...

Good luck to myself!
Anyway, he is not an artist of his own company.Opening and expanding Miss Liu's dry road for him is considered as the utmost benevolence.

One cannot be greedy!Right?right!

This excellent movie with a big cast, big investment, and big production is also sought after by many filmmakers.

Wu Xiaozu hoped that several companies could sell the film, otherwise...

He took a look at the legs of his named disciple... Otherwise, he might say goodbye to bicycles in the days to come.

Wang Jiawei didn't pay attention to Wu Xiaozu's fascination, and said to himself: "I have always had the original idea of ​​the movie, and I wrote the script before. But I tried to shoot the airport scene, and I felt that the atmosphere was not right. Now the shooting has been put on hold. I want to Think again.

I'm rewriting the script.

I... I was thinking about Brother Zu, can you help me guide and guide..."

I won't!Dont look at me!none of my business!
Good guy, he originally thought that Wang Jiawei came here to make money, who would have thought that he would kill him!

In this play, he can't participate in anything!In particular, the relationship between the four families here is complicated. After he entered, it was really difficult to deal with.

There is no benefit at all, but the fishy smell will definitely stick to it!What if the next few think that Wu Xiaozu is cheating them?Isn't that taking the blame for Wang Jiawei? ?
"Jiawei, why did you leave the company and go out to film? It must not be smooth sailing for a filmmaker. Everyone has their own artistic pursuits and ideas. Can you deny that you left at the beginning, and a big reason was because of some of my Ideas and your ideas do not exactly match!

I like you very much.But not in this way.

I think.

If I forcibly detain you and ask you to make money for me in the company, no one else can say anything, right?Even you yourself don't resist too much, do you? "

Wu Xiaozu didn't wait for the other party to answer, he looked solemn and full of pride and said:

"The reason why I let you go out is to let you increase your knowledge and gradually form your own film path.

Jiawei.

If you really ask Brother Zu, say: Brother, I want you to help me direct.

If you don't say anything, I will definitely help you with a knife!

But, you must think about it.Is this your true heart?
I don't want to affect the brotherhood between us because of the movie.Some things are easy to handle when we are brothers, but you must think carefully.

Don't worry, if you need it, I will help you at any time! "

Director Wu's handsome cheeks showed fortitude and friendship, and his eyes could not hide the expectation and the "feeling of licking the calf" that moved Wang Jiawei.

It really is a famous boss Bo Yuntian alive!

Righteousness, broad-mindedness and love will last forever, and the soul of a masculine man is majestic and majestic!
Elder brother is filial to his ancestors, brother Jiawei has to live up to expectations!
"Brother Zu! I..."

Wang Jiawei was really moved and tears rolled in his eye sockets, soaring to the sky with infinite heroism, her husband is like his father!

"Don't worry, as long as you are well, I will be happy!"

Wu Xiaozu patted the other person's shoulder with emotion, "Eat well, be a good person. Make movies well, be yourself well!"

In the future, if there are horses, stirrups, short waters, mountains and mountains, and no one can solve the problem, you don't care about your words, brother cares about you! "

……

In front of the door.

Liang Xiaoguo looked in horror at Wang Jiawei, whose face was covered with rain and pear blossoms were weeping. His eyes were dull and his expression was embarrassed.

"Brother Zu, I'm leaving first, you guys talk!"

Wang Jiawei nodded towards Liang Jiahui, and walked away with long legs pia, pia, leaving only Liang Xiaokou suspicious.

"Crazy line!"

Wu Xiaozu glared at Liang Xiaokou angrily, this guy had a sanctimonious face, but was actually extremely sullen.

Throw Wang Jiawei's coffee cup directly into the trash can.He also suspects that Wang Jiawei is a bit gay.

Maybe I have that kind of artistic conception deep in my heart, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make a film like "Happy Together".

Didn't Li Amine say that when he was filming "Brokeback Mountain"? When wandering around in the middle of the night, men will also have such wild thoughts.

He casually opened the refrigerator in the reception area, took out two cans of beer, and threw a can to the other party.

"The Strange Case of Three Wolves is finished?"

"Crack! Woo... cool! The sun outside is very poisonous, but you are more comfortable here." Liang Jiahui took a big gulp casually.

"The filming isn't finished, but it's coming soon. I guess it will be released at the end of the year or early next year. It depends on Golden Harvest's arrangements. Director Qiu asked me to play "Fear Room 2"..."

"That's up to you, it doesn't matter much."

Wu Xiaozu understood and said with a smile: "The plot of this drama is a link between the past and the future. If you act, you will also play someone else. However, the production cost of this drama will be very low, so I don't recommend you to accept it."

"That's fine, I don't think it's suitable. After all, I'm 'dead' in the first part." Liang Jiahui nodded casually.

Although there is a saying that the boss calls you brother, don't really treat the boss as a friend.

However, Wu Xiaozu and Liang Jiahui are both people with high emotional intelligence.Wu Xiaozu did not really insist on emphasizing superiority and inferiority in life like many bosses do.

Of course, with the change of experience, there will be certain differences in status and status, but it does not mean that the rich must be so-and-so, this is the thinking of the older generation.Wu Xiaozu admired the later principal Wang's attitude towards life.

Man, it's not easy to be a friend for a lifetime, why do you have to make it so complicated?
People who have this kind of thinking are actually the ones who are not confident.

Fortunately, Liang Xiaokou himself knows how to get along very well, and he knows how to measure well.To use Haruki Murakami's words to describe: This is a person who behaves just right in everything he does!

"When will the new play start?" Liang Jiahui asked.

"I'm busy during this time, and it should be put on the agenda soon. By the way, I will arrange all the main actors to go to Shatian for closed training in the near future.

Martial arts movements, etiquette training, speaking training, movement training.Some of the teachers I have identified will be in place one after another to give you pre-shooting training. "

Wu Xiaozu handed over a cigar casually.

"So harsh?" Liang Jiahui was also taken aback for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "It looks like we're going to suffer again."

Every time he shoots Wu Xiaozu's scenes, he suffers a lot.

Wu Xiaozu's performances belong to the kind of people who are very demanding from the psychological point of view. An actor can only keep up with the rhythm if his mind is full of drama.

In order to make the shooting go smoothly, he also often held some contact meetings or training before shooting.

Before "God of Gamblers", there have been various seminars.At the same time, they were given a lot of training in Western etiquette.

This time shooting a martial arts film is even more so.

"I can't help it. Although it's not a historical film, the maturity of a character is the fullness of bits and pieces. For example, if you play the character of Jin Yiwei Qianhu, his words and deeds must conform to the character setting.

The action design must be distinguished, and it must be different from the methods of the rivers and lakes.Attire, words and deeds must be in line with the role.For example, if you sit there, it must be in line with your status as a guard in Jinyi, watching all directions and listening to all directions.

You look over, whether you are high or powerful, or bold and bold, you must have characteristics.

And then there's the nonsense, Brother Hui, you've got to work hard!If you don't practice well, you can only dub. "

"You want Mandarin dialogue?" Liang Jiahui was surprised.

"Mandarin dialogue will definitely be the mainstay. When it's released in Hong Kong Island, it's a big deal to dub or find other ways. You also know that since this film is a co-production, it has a good chance of being released there. Especially martial arts films that are more popular in the mainland. " Wu Xiaozu explained.

Local box office is very important, but this drama must consider the situation there.

It can be predicted that the later stage of this drama will definitely be a big project.

In the past, Wu Xiaozu's dramas seldom hang on to Wia, and this drama may be very painful to remove the traces of Wia.

In the film era, it is also very troublesome to remove the wire.

Hereafter.

Basically it is nuke or mocha pro, very simple and convenient.

This time is different.

In the era of backward technology in the early days, the picture of the film itself was rough and the definition was not high, and the steel wire was very thin and difficult to distinguish.

This is also one of the reasons why Hong Kong films were hard-working before.

The real start of large-scale application of Wia was the beginning of martial arts films on Hong Kong Island at this time.Xu Laoguai was used on a large scale for the first time in "New Shushan Swordsman", which is a huge change for Hong Kong films.

Although the film lost the bottom line, the Hollywood special effects team did teach Tsui Hark a lot of things to use. In the 90s, Tsui Hark's martial arts films were able to rise, which is partly credited.

This method is not difficult to say, it is to hide the steel wire through the background masking method, using various methods such as color and luminosity.

But occasionally there will be shots that cannot be concealed.

In "Green Snake", when the two snake spirits are fighting with Fa Hai, you can vaguely see the steel wires behind Wang Zuzhen and Zhang Manyu.

This is why costume dramas are not easy to shoot!
Often, for a dialogue of more than ten seconds, it takes more than an hour to build a slide rail to ensure the stability of the camera.It is also necessary to adjust the lighting or wait for half a day for natural light. At the same time, multiple cameras need to take more than a dozen shots at the same time, and the director has to take them all into the camera.

In the later stage, the steel wire that can be seen by the audience is carefully removed from the image frame by frame, and this steel wire also needs to be carefully selected and used.The process of processing film is like the process of processing negatives and modifying photos in a film studio, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Far from being as simple as later generations.

This is why Wu Xiaozu has been talking about wanting to poach Tsui Hark's corner.Diao Weiya also pays attention to cooperation, you must know how to cooperate with lighting, camera positions and actors' performances.

Wearing clothes is really helpless sometimes.In fact, sometimes this is not only a technical issue, but also an attitude issue.

Here I chatted with Liang Jiahui about work matters, and Wu Xiaozu also began to call the main creators of the crew to receive training.

Not only the actors, but also the staff.

After all, it involves communication between the two places.

The staff on Hong Kong Island are used to being free and undisciplined, and Wu Xiaozu didn't want them to be re-educated by the hammer of socialism.

He went to spread love and release friendship, and he didn't want to make Zhu Bajie look like a human being in the mirror because of some shitty things.

The opportunity is rare.

He didn't expect any conflicts between Hong Kong and mainland to arise. Disagreements are allowed, but open conflicts are not allowed!After everyone works together, regardless of region, they are all members of the crew, all Chinese!

I said!
Wu Xiaozu's greatest advantage is self-knowledge.

If you are picking an advantage, you will think in advance to kill some possible problems in the fertilized eggs!
Maybe you can't avoid all the problems, but at least you have expressed your attitude?Right?
For some things, whether to do it or not and whether to do it well are essential problems.

In the next few days, while he was handling the preparatory work of the film, he was busy with the selection of Miss Hong Kong.
