Chapter 526

Japanese-style sauna and tea room.

Wu Xiaozu was wearing a pure cotton sweat suit and sat cross-legged with Big Nose in the same attire, and there was a stack of scripts on the low wooden table.

"Azu, my "Police Story 2" will be released in two days, and I hope you and Xiaoxian will come to join us."

The legendary big-nosed dragon joked with a smile, "So that I can borrow your wealth, and the box office will sell well. No one in the past could have imagined that the box office of a movie can be so exaggerated. I can't help but want to be fond of you, the god of wealth." Grandpa's good luck..."

Wu Xiaozu looked at the dancing Cheng Long and smiled.

"Originally, I wanted to invite Xiao Xian to act in "Police Story 2", but unfortunately her schedule is too full, so I will definitely invite her to cooperate if I have the opportunity.

Now Xiaoxian is really popular in Southeast Asia.

A few days ago, I went to Wanwan to do promotion, and "God of Gamblers: Fight Now!" was everywhere! "'s publicity, she is really beautiful in a leather jacket! "

The legendary Big Nosed Dragon said enviously, "I really envy you for having such a beautiful girlfriend as Xiaoxian."

Brother dei, it's wrapped in dung!
"Sister Fengjiao is really beautiful and elegant. Back then, she was the dream goddess of many boys! ATV broadcasts Wanwan TV dramas, and I can't wait to see them!"

"..."

The resentful little eyes glanced up and down at Wu Xiaozu, and stopped the topic.

Wu Xiaozu's character in the circle is mixed, so I don't want to mention it, but the widow's disease is as notorious as him.

"I heard from Sir Zou, Azu, do you intend to go to Hollywood?" Cheng Long asked curiously.

Director Wu nodded: "There is indeed such a bold plan."

"For your bold idea, I have another immature little idea.

If Hong Kong films want to develop, they still have to keep an eye on Hollywood.They earn dollars over there.

However, the Hollywood water is too deep, and Sir Zou has only accumulated experience for more than ten years.

It is better to use acquaintances to help you set foot in a completely unfamiliar market! "

Cheng Long looked concerned, and said meaningfully, "After all, if you are familiar with it, you are not acquainted with it!"

"Brother Long, do you have any suggestions?"

Director Wu decided to follow the example of kindness.This one in front of me is definitely the most successful Hollywood breakaway among Chinese actors!
"I can't talk about suggestions, but I know that everyone is Chinese, and we must cooperate sincerely.

Azu, you can be regarded as the leading Chinese director in the world, or it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a representative.

As for me—not to brag, I should be the person who knows Hollywood best in Hong Kong. Now I live in Los Angeles for a small half of every year, and I have met many people in the industry.

From "Killer's Trenches" to the "Cannonball Run" series of movies, and then to the several movies I participated in, I can say that I really have an in-depth understanding of Hollywood's internal industry norms...

In 85, I personally participated in the director's production of "The Dragon Detective", and there really is no Hong Kong Island filmmaker who has more say in Hollywood's production process than I do! "

Cheng Long took a deep breath, supported the low table with both hands, looked directly at Wu Xiaozu, and emphasized word by word: "We-we-two-cooperation, it will definitely work!
Azu, Hollywood is not so easy to break into.Although several of your films are in line with Hollywood's action aesthetics, it seems that the North American market is large, but the inclusiveness is really poor!Special exclusion!It is difficult for us Chinese to mix there!

However, the money over there is really easy to earn. Do you know how much the box office of "Cannonball Run" I participated in?The first film cost more than 7200 million US dollars!Converted into several hundred million Hong Kong dollars!But do you know how much I get paid?
The show is only $8!Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to Hong Kong to make a movie. My salary here is worth millions of dollars!It's really not worth it!Stepping into Hong Kong Island..."

Looking at Uncle Long who shook his head and sighed, Wu Xiaozu asked: "Can the work mode in Hollywood be adapted?"

"It's hard."

Speaking of this, Cheng Long couldn't help feeling, "Hollywood pays attention to division of labor, specialization, and process, which is more troublesome than ours.

When filming "Cannonball Run", I wanted to help design the action, and the other action director kept shouting 'NONONO! ’, and even the insurance guys disagreed.

When they shoot movies, especially big-budget movies, they will have a completion insurance.In case the movie is aborted, someone pays the bill.This is indeed more professional than us!The system is also better.Various associations and trade unions have great rights.

At the same time, they are the producers with the greatest rights, which is completely different from Hong Kong Island.I feel that our creative environment is a little more casual, but they can do everything they do!
For example, it is normal for us to film overnight. If they work overtime, they need to pay several times their wages. Even if some actors disagree, the union will interfere with the filming of the crew.Anyway, very troublesome! "

Wu Xiaozu thought so deeply.

In his previous life, he had never been to North America, but there were indeed many North American production methods passed down from China.Many film production companies in the mainland want to follow the gourd, but unfortunately they are neither fish nor fowl.

It is normal for the Hollywood model to be unacceptable in the mainland market.It's not just about people, it's about systems.

However, it did allow more practitioners to understand Hollywood's large-scale industrial production model.

The reason why Director Wu did not dare to take this step lightly is that the Hong Kong film market still has money to make, and the second is that the water there is too deep, so he needs to try bit by bit.That kind of "reckless" rushing forward without caring is not his character!

Of course, the main reason is that Hollywood can't cheat... Ahem, director Wu can't cheat money!

"I've been thinking about the cooperation, but Boss Zou and Manager Chen probably don't think so?" Wu Xiaozu smiled pointedly.

"Azu, don't worry about this. As the saying goes, it's better to let go of an enemy than to end it. Besides, we are all good friends. There is nothing that we can't sit down and talk about."

Cheng Long moved his buttocks, sat up straight, and said: "If we can cooperate, Sir Zou can help you introduce contacts in Hollywood. Sir Zou means not only the cooperation between the two of us, but also other people. Cooperation in film. If you want, Golden Harvest Cinemas can also release your new work..."

Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly, it seems that "God of Gamblers" is really powerful.Jiahe also intends to ease the relationship with herself.

Everyone is here to make money, no one is here to make a grudge.In the face of interests, there is nothing we cannot cooperate with.Mecca can film for Golden Harvest, why can't Wu Xiaozu release the movie in Golden Harvest Cinemas?
"Brother Long, I feel at ease with your words. To be honest, in the final analysis, I am just a film director, and we are all the same. What we eat is hard work in wind and rain.

Zou sir and I have no enmity or grudge, even if it is a competition, it is a competition between several major cinemas, right?
Besides, we have a video tape business...

In that situation, I had to do it! "

Wu Xiaozu licked his face, while selling miserably, he dumped the blame on Xinbao Cinemas!

Then, Cheng Long also said that was right.

Obviously this lobbyist is very qualified!
"Don't worry, Sir Zou is also looking forward to cooperating with you, Azu." Cheng Long was very excited, thinking that he had completed the task of Master Qi He Guanzhu.

In fact, Jiahe also wants to befriend Wu Xiaozu, not to say that director Wu is so good that everyone wants to kneel and lick.It's just that everyone is doing it for profit, and there's no need to fight to the death.

As for the interests, if they refute it, I believe that the two parties will not have any feelings.

This summer, Locomotive 1024 and Golden Harvest teamed up to trick the Golden Princess.

You know, before the summer vacation, Golden Harvest had a tacit understanding with Princess Jin to suppress the 1024 locomotive!Going forward, Wu Xiaozu also helped Princess Jin fight against Jiahe...and also fought against these two with Debao.

In short, water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, and in the field of interests, mercenary is not a derogatory term!
