PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
No. 91 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, is a four-storey office building with retro British style in the Republic of China.

At the MTR station not far away, many commuters rushed here.

Many young people work here.

With the 1024 locomotive entertainment company stationed here, many film companies have come to work here.

So far, Media Asia International Laser Video Co., Ltd., the largest offline video tape production and distribution company in Hong Kong Island, has settled in No. 69 Hung To Road.The French woodpecker production company and the Dutch windmill film distribution company have also set up offices nearby.

Young Master Jiang’s Aetna Films, Good Friends Film Company co-founded by Zeng Zhiwei, President Tan, Teddy Robin and others, and Sammo Hung’s Baoxiang Films have all moved to this neighborhood, and this area has also become a new film company. test waters.

Stellar Entertainment has also contracted a site and plans to set up a new "practice training base" here.

Coupled with the cheap rent and well-developed transportation nearby, many newspaper offices, equipment rooms, and film development rooms are gathered here, which is enough to impress many independent film companies.

Especially after TVB moved away from the broadcast channel, many small companies are more willing to choose another office site. Compared with the expensive land near TVB TV station, Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon Peninsula is not far from TVB’s location, and the rent is cheap. Naturally, it is also favored by many entertainment companies, and more than a dozen small independent companies have moved here to work.

In the conference room on the third floor, more than a dozen representatives of film producers from Southeast Asia and film producers from other regions gathered together, staring at Jiang Ershao who was preaching on the stage.

“1988年第三季度，1024火车头娱乐公司筹码影片分别是《龍門客栈》、《恐惧斗室2》、《双雄2》、《古惑仔4》、《悲情城市》、《时尚女魔头》。

Among them, three works, "City of Sadness", "The Devil's Fashion", and "Dragon Inn" were publicly financed.The other three films have completed their financing plans and entered the shooting process, but they can issue distribution authorizations and purchase clips. We will discuss the details in private.

Among them, "City of Sadness" has already started filming, and the follow-up funds need at least 1500 million Hong Kong dollars. "Dragon Inn" is in the pre-production stage, and the company expects the production cost to be around 4000 million. "The Devil's Fashion" is the company's latest planned movie, and it is in the stage of script rectification, and the investment cost will not be less than 1200 million.

Inviting everyone this time is also to let everyone know about the filming plan of 1024 Locomotive Entertainment, and create a win-win situation together.At the same time, you are all powerful partners, so there is no need to talk about an investment of 200 million, and the minimum capital allocation is 800 million.

All you have in your hands are the lineup lists and quota requirements of each movie. If you have a movie you want to invest in, you can discuss it in private..."

More than a dozen film dealers looked at the album in their hands, and what they saw was "Dragon Inn", and they knew that Wu Xiaozu's next film was actually aimed at martial arts films.

In recent years, the downturn in martial arts films is well known.

but……

Wu Xiaozu is an exception!
These people are film dealers in the small ticket warehouse market, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.They can't invest, but they can jointly issue. E7 culture itself is not strong enough to allow its distribution capabilities to spread to various regions in Southeast Asia, but these indigenous filmmakers have no problem.

In fact, all these movies leave with them is soup.

The real meat was still handed over to the predators to share the spoils. Second Young Master Jiang hurriedly greeted these people and rushed towards the general manager's office on the fourth floor.

……

On the tea table, Wu Xiaozu had a pleasant smile on his face, and helped the two people in front of him to pour tea with a friendly attitude.

"Mr. Liao and Director Tianming, the arrival of the two really makes the humble room flourish!" Wu Xiaozu flattered shamelessly.

"Director Wu is young and promising, and it is also the pride of us Chinese. This time Director Tianming came to Hong Kong to discuss cooperation, and we in Yindu will naturally do our part to help our brothers. After all, everyone is contributing to the cultural cause."

Facing gentle and kind, Liao Yiyuan, wearing brown glasses and looking like an intellectual, took the tea with deep eyes, and praised Wu Xiaozu with a smile, "You have won awards abroad, and domestic literary and art workers are also encouraged!" People's Daily, "Guangming Daily" gave special reports.

The play "Suspect" shows the brilliance of human nature, but it is a pity that the subject matter of the story is not suitable for introduction into China.But it cannot be denied that this film is indeed a rare masterpiece of art. "

"Old Liao praised me so much, I really can't afford it..."

Wu Xiaozu put on airs in fear and trepidation, he felt a sense of guilt in his heart, but when he heard the other party's words, he felt relieved.

This can be regarded as the kindness of the government to itself.

This must be well understood!
Since this subject matter is sensitive, it is natural to encourage you to shoot other subjects.

Nothing is more convenient than the theme of martial arts.

"I also recommended the film "Suspect" to several respected film seniors, and they all spoke highly of it. In addition, Director Wu, you may not know that several of your works have had great influence in the domestic film industry. It’s not small. The film academy in the imperial capital and some teachers take the initiative to play your movies for students to learn from…” Wu Tianming said with a smile.

Wu Xiaozu also laughed, but secretly cursed in his heart, whoring Lao Tzu's movies for free!
The mainland is very strict about the import of movies, and there are no clear standards.On the contrary, he kind of misses the General Bureau of later generations~
"This time Xiying Studio, Yindu and 1024 Locomotive are working together on "Dragon Inn". Since Xiying has just started to reform, there is not much money that can be allocated."

Wu Tianming sent Wu Xiaozu an apologetic look very honestly, "This fund cannot be converted into Hong Kong dollars and other foreign exchange, and can only be used domestically."

"It doesn't matter, this time I'm going to convert Hong Kong dollars into U.S. dollars and introduce them to the mainland for filming..." Wu Xiaozu laughed.

"Dollar??"

Wu Tianming looked happy, and raised his head to look at Old Liao, who also showed joy in his eyes.

"Yes, I also understand that the country's foreign exchange is relatively tight. And I have an E7 culture under my company-the holding company is an offshore company, all settled in US dollars.

I want to take part of the funds from here and bring them to the mainland, not only for filming, but also to inspect the filming environment in the mainland.

Both of you should also know that I invested in a movie by my compatriots from Wanwan some time ago, right?In fact, I founded a charitable film fund named after me, which specially used money to plan an Asian supernova film support plan!

The main target is new Chinese directors.

I hope that through my help, more young people will be encouraged to devote themselves to cultural and artistic creations, and to produce more excellent films that are loved by the general public.

A strong youth makes China strong!
Movies represent a country, a cultural symbol and business card of a nation.I hope more young people can have the opportunity to direct movies.

It doesn't matter whether you lose money or not. When I get to this point, I am not short of the one million or so yuan.

However, this is enough to encourage more excellent filmmakers from Chinese-language films, even if there is only one person... it is my heart for the film industry. "

Hearing Wu Xiaozu's words of loyalty and courage, the faces of the two old comrades in front of him were moved.

Old Liao remembered the evaluation of Wu Xiaozu by the leaders above.

He commented that the phrase "Only what belongs to the nation belongs to the world" that he said at the Cannes Film Festival is a powerful voice for Chinese-language filmmakers to the world, which inspires national pride!

Director Wu is clearly a force that can be united!

From the end of the 80s to the 90s, China was really too difficult!Some bullshit public intellectuals often say that the United States has given China time to hide its strength and bide its time... This is what allowed China to develop by luck!

Pooh!
The Western world has not given up its "siege" of China from the beginning to the end. When did foreign countries give us a comfortable space and are willing to let us develop?
We have made it through step by step, and these efforts cannot be wiped out with a simple sentence!
"Azu! Your strong patriotism is really worth learning from more and more young people."

Wu Tianming was also afraid that it would be "inconvenient" for Wu Xiaozu to enter the mainland. Later, he heard Wu Xiaozu's repeated demands on the crew from Chen Kai, and looked at his burning patriotism visible to the naked eye today, needless to say anything else...

This is definitely the most unitable good friend of our party!
"Don't worry, when you enter the mainland, I will communicate with several film studios and ask them to recommend young directors and filmmakers to you. I hope they are lucky enough to have the opportunity to get your advice, Azu!"

Director Wu, Honest Man, Tianming held Wu Xiaozu's hand emotionally, and said with all his heart, "Enter the mainland, I assure you! Any department! Any regional leadership team will cooperate vigorously! No one will make things difficult for you and your party! "

"That's right, no one can destroy the great unity between the three sides of the strait! It can destroy the cultural exchanges between the people of China and Hong Kong, and the patriotism of the progressive folks on Hong Kong Island!" Mr. Liao made a final decision. Once this big hat is buckled, it is estimated that he will open his eyes. Dare to mess around.

The leader of the Yindu organization is not high-ranking, but he is the existence of Shangda Tianting!
Wu Xiaozu grinned behind his ears, he couldn't close his legs in excitement.

He was worried about how to deal with the money of E7 culture, but now this way, some people have objections?
Tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange!

Unlike today's overseas Chinese, Wu Xiaozu is not afraid of losing the money, only he believes in the potential of the mainland!
As for investing in mainland movies, it's not all clichés.

At this time, the mainland is just the time for the vigorous growth of the fifth generation of directors. Naturally, Director Wu is not stingy with his own brilliance to spread these seeds of hope.

There are Yang Dechong and Hou Suqian waving the flag in Wanwan. Needless to say, Hong Kong Island is the base camp!Bangzi also has a new generation of Korean filmmakers to encourage him, but he lacks mainland filmmakers to endorse him.

How does this work?
Director Wu, the master of the generation, is a film master who has dedicated his life to the Asian film industry. How can he forget the mainland actresses... Bah!What about mainland directors?

This is the name!
As for profit?
The fifth generation of people can do nothing else, it is really very fierce to win awards in the world!Foreign copyrights of low-cost movies are absolutely profitable!
At the same time, it can also improve the distribution channels, why not?

"Mr. Wu, Mr. Weinstein from Hollywood is visiting you!" The staff member knocked on the door and walked in, saying proactively.

Wu Xiaozu looked at the two apologetically, and took the initiative to say: "Old Liao, Director Tianming, I'm sorry, I might have to leave for a while..."

"It's okay, Azu, you are busy with your work!"

Liao Laoci smiled kindly and looked at Wu Tianming. They all heard the word "Hollywood".

Watching Wu Xiaozu leave, his eyes were thoughtful.
