My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 533 Once upon a time, it also became a crooked neck tree?

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Ding~"

Wu Xiaozu was listening to Yu Weiguo analyzing the market data, and subconsciously wanted to touch the cigarette to the side. Before he could react, a cigar with a torn wrapper was placed between his fingers, and he tilted his head slightly. The torch lit the cigar, took away the coffee, pushed over an ashtray and a cup of tea.

"The gambling genre is highly accepted in the Southeast Asian market. In the past half a month, we have launched three rounds of advertising in the market with our partners, and the market feedback has been very good.

The data shows that 25.7% of adults in East Asia and Southeast Asia have gambling habits, 38.4% of them participate in gambling, and 32.6% are interested in it and not disgusted, of which Wanwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Korea Regions such as China are very interested in this genre, and even particularly like external disks such as red and white machines, betting on football, betting on horses, and betting on dogs.

On the contrary, Singapore, Japan and other places with relatively high cultural quality have not received much market feedback...

The marketing department expects to invest no less than 1000 million to 1200 million Hong Kong dollars in advertising expenses.Generally speaking, the publicity and distribution cost of the entire "God of Gamblers" reached about 2700 million, which is the most cost-effective.It is not cost-effective for us to increase again. "

On the contrary, Yu Weiguo's marketing team is the department with the highest education in the entire company, and many of them are his college classmates.There must be discrepancies in these data. After all, if one wants to be more accurate, the manpower and material resources invested are astonishing.

But even so, the guiding role for the company is also obvious.

It can improve the film company's sensitivity and sense of smell to the market.

The entire meeting lasted for more than 4 hours before it came to an end.

……

Wu Xiaozu was holding a book, crossed his legs, leaned on the sofa, casually picked up a teacup and took a sip, keeping his eyes on the book, only hearing the 'rustling' sound of turning the pages of the book.

Side of the tea tray.

Lizhi's ultra-thin shredded pork legs were sitting there leaning slightly bent, making tea with a jade portable pot.

On the surface, he looked calm and calm, but his heart was full of turmoil and anxiety.

She always felt that Wu Xiaozu saw her thoughts.

"Are you comfortable with your work?"

Just when she was thinking wildly, she heard Wu Xiaozu's voice in her ears, she quickly put away her thoughts, rolled her temples and smiled: "Thank you, boss Wu Sheng, for your concern, I am quite happy with what you did.

Learn a lot of new knowledge every day.It's quite interesting. "

The sweet and glutinous voice seems to swim through the tip of the nose, which makes people hear it for the first time. It is difficult to combine the sweet voice of a loli with the sexy stunner in front of you.

"Being behind the scenes of a movie is always as tight as being a big star. Suddenly, the salary dropped from 10,000+ or ​​hundreds of thousands for a movie to a maximum of tens of thousands per month... Hehe..."

"Pretending to be a big star has the advantages of being a big star, and being a personal assistant also has the advantages of being a personal assistant~" Li Zhi held the teapot in her hand, raised her head and smiled to show Wu Xiaozu, and found that the other party did not look up, and was still flipping through the teapot on her own Book.

"It's a good idea. How about doing something for me?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, picked up the Taipan series pen on the table next to him, took out the checkbook and wrote the number '1000000', and waved to Lijue.

Li Zhi put down the teapot, walked to Wu Xiaozu's side, put his legs together and slightly bent, so that Wu Xiaozu could look at him at the same level.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaozu looked at the other party's beautiful legs wrapped in ultra-thin pork shreds, and smiled lightly: "Help me choose a gift."

"Is there any request?" Lijue glanced at the number written on it.

"birthday present."

Wu Xiaozu tilted his head and looked directly at Lizhi, "Help me go to Omen, deliver the gift to Miss He, and wish her a happy birthday for me."

Li Jue's hand holding the check froze, rolled her temples and covered her smile, "I don't know what gift Ms. He likes, I'm afraid the one I choose doesn't suit her~" She wanted to withdraw her wrist as she spoke.

But before she could withdraw, Wu Xiaozu's wrist was suddenly gently held by Wu Xiaozu, his thumb stroked the blue veins on his white wrist, and along the veins, his fingers pressed the check into the opponent's hand again.

"How could it be a bad choice?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled and was full of enthusiasm, "You have always had a good eye. It's just two days before her birthday party, and I still don't have a partner. I have many people say that you are very good at ballroom dancing?"

"I--"

"What?" Wu Xiaozu still looked at Lijue in front of him with a smile.

"The company wants to shoot photo albums for celebrities, and I can do it too." Li Jue raised her head and smiled at Wu Xiaozu.

During this time, in order to warm up Victoria's Secret, Ye Yuqing and Ye Zimei are both preparing to shoot their personal photo albums.

At this time, the photo album market has always been the private area of ​​Japanese photo actresses.Photobooks are also popular among men. A photobook can easily sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Of course, Stellar Entertainment shoots photobooks mainly to help Victoria’s Secret with publicity.

In fact, photobooks are also an important channel for many celebrities to make money at this time.Even, at this time, there are also models dedicated to shooting calendars and posters. The market is very hot, and the sales are also extremely high, easily reaching several million!
In later generations, a queen with a duck voice in the Mainland made her debut as a calendar model!

Wu Xiaozu didn't even know where Lizhi got the news that the company was going to shoot a "photobook".

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

As a human being, sometimes don't think so carefully.I, Wu Xiaozu, do things openly and aboveboard.

It's not enough to do the kind of obscene things like revenge.

I also heard a little about you.It doesn't matter if I don't encounter this kind of thing.But since you choose to do things for the company now, I naturally can't choose to turn a blind eye.

That's why I asked you to help me bring Ms. He a birthday present!It would be nice to talk about a lot of things.

I have also seen your hard work and diligence these days.

That being the case, how can I bear to see such a good personal assistant of mine being pestered by some messy things? "

Li Jue blushed slightly and nodded quickly.

"Thank you, Boss!" The cry was sincere.

In the past few days, she has been gnawing at the company's materials and devoting herself to the work of this personal assistant.

All kinds of materials related to filming were learned on a common sense basis, and dozens of phone calls by department heads and related personnel of various companies were also memorized one by one by rote.

At the same time, I learned about and watched all the movies from "Rainy Night Butcher" to the latest movies. I went to the distribution department and the production department to read a lot of data. Basically, every night, I would confirm the box office situation of the previous day's movies, and make relevant reports and put them in the official documents. in the bag.

After these days of understanding, she observed that Director Wu likes bitter coffee and tea, and likes Cuban cigars, and the cigars should be bought at the import trade store in Central.

I am addicted to cigarettes, and sometimes I also like Marlboro.

Basically, I have to go to the Peninsula Hotel for tea every week.

She likes to read newspapers. Every day, she prepares newspapers and puts them on the desk in the office, not limited to entertainment newspapers, but also financial aspects. After discovering that Director Wu can read English newspapers, she also added "South China Morning Post" to the newspaper package.

At the same time, if he comes to the company every morning, he will basically step on it. The first thing is simple aerobic exercise. During this period, he likes to watch the morning news or listen to music.

Had a slight cervical spine problem, so she replaced the chair in the office.

Usually very energetic, but like to take a nap for about 10 minutes at noon.

In terms of reading, she likes to read Ming History materials recently, so she went to the bookstore to order a batch of related materials and put them in a prominent position on the bookcase.

main--

She found that Wu Xiaozu liked her beautiful legs in stockings very much, so these days, she was all dressed in various stockings.

It can be said that she is indeed a very dedicated and suitable secretary candidate!
For Lizhi, she also needs Wu Xiaozu to help her shelter from the wind and rain.She needs a big tree, and Wu Xiaozu is undoubtedly that tree.

Of course, it is inevitable that there is also the thought of doves occupying the magpie's nest.

As for why you are so anxious to climb up to Wu Xiaozu?

After Sister Lizhiya, she wandered around the upper class balls.

After all, Sister Asia's identity is there, and she is also sought after by many rich people.At the charity ball, I even got to know the dance master He Gambling King, but I didn't expect to be disgusted by the second wife because of this.

That's why, taking advantage of the Harvey Weinstein incident, she took the initiative to commit herself to be a personal assistant here.

"Thank you boss." Li Jue took the initiative to hold a cup of tea.

"Huh~"

Wu Xiaozu took the tea with a smile, "Work hard. No one says personal assistants can't make movies~"

Li Zhi was taken aback, approached Director Wu proactively, and chuckled, "I still feel that being a secretary is more fulfilling. During this period of time, I was able to get in touch with many things that I couldn't get in touch with before, and only then did I realize that filmmaking still pays so much attention.

I used to be an actor and didn't know much about it.Through studying this time, I have learned a lot..."

As he spoke, he paused, and took the initiative to stand behind Wu Xiaozu, massaging his cervical spine with his hands, "I also heard that the previous assistant has been promoted and raised his salary. I want to be by Wu Sheng's side, and you will never treat me badly." My..."

Not only is she not stupid, but she is very smart.

Both EQ and IQ are very high, otherwise I would not have thought of climbing Wu Xiaozu's crooked neck tree that has just grown up.

During this time, she also carefully reviewed her work as an actor.

Let's just say it didn't go well.

Even if there is a role, it is just flirting in the movie, it is far less promising to be a personal assistant by Wu Xiaozu's side.

During this period of time, she has also come into contact with several celebrities due to work reasons, and they are all polite to her.

Is this still a personal assistant?
in case……

Just think about Wang Zuzhen's current status.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi moved her body forward, and the meatballs were directly attached to Wu Xiaozu's back.

Teng!The anger was instantly aroused!
"Boss~"

Fei Cheng shook his folding fan, pushed the door open and walked in with a smile, and saw the boss pretending to be looking at him unkindly.

(⊙o⊙)...

"What is it?"

Wu Xiaozu signaled Lizhi to make tea, and shook his head slightly towards Fei Cheng.

"The tea leaves brought by Director Tianming~ and some approval documents from relevant departments—" Fei Cheng glanced at Lijue, and knowingly raised the bag in his other hand.

Some time ago, Wu Tianming, Chen Kaige, Gong Li and others had already returned to the mainland and started to make preliminary preparations.The fax this time also proves that various documents for filming in the Mainland have been approved.

At this time, Li Zhi also went to the tea tray to make tea again, and with a slight bend in her jade hand, she picked up the celadon tea cup on the wooden tray and handed it to the two of them.

"Is the matter of Dongpu settled?"

Wu Xiaozu took a sip of tea and asked casually, then lightly waved his hand, smiled and dismissed the juice and left.

Fei Cheng waved his folding fan, watched Li Jue leave, and said with a smile: "I have already asked Jiang Ershao and Brother Zhen to help me contact the contact company over there, and I will go to Dongying in the next two days, and together we will film the exterior scenes of the two plays." Let’s shoot together. I will be back in about ten days.”

The box office of the movie "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" continued to rise in Japan.

Generally speaking, it is a good time to catch up. Coupled with Dongying's recognition of Tang culture, this drama is also very popular in Dongying.

In the past few years, Dongying movie classification paid special attention to restricting the appearance of nudity and sexual behavior, and the control was very strict.On the contrary, the control over violent and horror films is relatively loose.

However, in recent years, with the frequent occurrence of terrorist homicide cases, Dongying Films Ethics Committee has begun to increase strict screening of horror, violence, and plasma films, and has relaxed its review of Fengyue films.

This allowed "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1" to pass the review and get a lot of box office.

For this reason, as soon as Fei Cheng and Wu Xiaozu met, they decided to remove the two dramas "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty II: The Empress Wu Meiniang" and "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty III Drunken Concubine: Daughter-in-law Yang Yuhuan" from the Hong Kong Island scenes. , and the rest of the scenes scheduled to be set in Tangcheng, Singapore were changed to the "Kyoto" area of ​​Japan.

As it is said internationally in this era, Dunhuang is in China, and Dunhuang studies are in Dongying.In terms of the preservation of Tang culture, Kyoto in Japan is more complete.After all, the city was built in a reduced proportion after imitating the ancient Chang'an.

Da, hearing the door outside the office close, Fei Cheng took out a few photos and films from his pocket and handed them to Wu Xiaozu.

"This is a photo."

It is a photo of King He Du and Li Zhi dancing.

"Huh~"

Wu Xiaozu glanced at it indifferently, shook his head, "Give these to Ms. He as a gift."

"Send? To Ms. He?" Fei Cheng looked at Wu Xiaozu in surprise, and gave his daughter a photo of his father?

"We only remember that we are on a boat, but don't forget. There is actually a river underneath! Miss He will understand." Wu Xiaozu didn't explain much.

During this period of time, the scandal between King He and Lizhi was overwhelming, and at the same time there were gossips that the second wife lost her temper and wanted to 'punish' Lizhi.

When this kind of thing comes out, who benefits?He also didn't want his "big tree" to be affected.

Regardless of whether it was the gambler's trickery or that Miss Liang's tricks, the goal of this matter has been achieved.

At this time, someone needs to help finish it.

The only thing he has to do is to let He Chaoqiong and Li Zhi appear on the same occasion.

enough!
Others, he is not able to participate.

His character of being a gentleman will not change.

Of course, if this matter is done well, and the king of gambling leaks some oil from his hands, can Wu Xiaozu not continue?

How to put it, he, Wu Xiaozu, helped Mr. He secure the chess pieces, and at the same time helped the skilled and long-sleeved Ms. Liang to cross Chen Cang secretly!The other party's affairs have come to fruition, and there is no need for chess pieces to attract hatred.

At the same time, it also helped Erfang clarify the rumors.

The most innocent person here may really be Lijue, but...is this a wealthy family?

is there any method?
As for Lizhi's desire to get close to the big tree...it's just her self-righteousness.

Many times, you think that your calculations are unparalleled, and you think that your schemes have been seen through...

It's all an illusion.

Because, from the beginning to the end, no one cares about your stuff!
The only surprise is that Li Zhi is indeed an excellent secretary!This was beyond his expectation.

"Hehe~ Just treat it as a reward."

Wu Xiaozu said to himself with a smile, and then solemnly said to Fei Cheng: "I plan to leave for the mainland in mid-September. Apart from watching the movie, the most important thing for you is to report the financial statements of "Suspect" in this half month." It can spread through the media.

Not only the media on Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia, Korea, Wanwan, and Japan all need to invest in publicity.At the same time, you have to broadcast the overseas box office results of "God of Gamblers" to the media in real time, remember!Be sure to find media with sufficient influence.The more lively your promotion is, the smoother my trip to the mainland will be! "

He just wants to set up his own Chinese film banner, which can be regarded as shaping the packaging.

　Don't make wild guesses in this chapter, there is nothing.Many friends also mentioned the huge number of state-run theaters back then.Let me briefly explain here that cinemas at that time were indeed standard equipment in socialist countries, and county-level units would have their own theaters as auditoriums. The converted box office of "Shaolin Temple" may be very high, but it does not mean that the film studio and distributor received so much box office revenue at that time.First, there are not so many copies of "Shaolin Temple" in 1980 in the first place!This is for sure, and the amount of copies will be increased in the future.When many people saw this movie, it might not be the publisher's copy, and they might not even see it until a few years later.Second, in the city, the movie tickets of many state-run movie theaters and cultural palaces were distributed to workers or public officials in 1980. At that time, it was regarded as a form of entertainment for the working class. After all, it was still a planned economy dominated by food stamps. Buy, but one or two cents, not all families can afford it!My mother said that in 1982, when my sister was one year old, there were ice cream sellers, and she was reluctant to buy it for my sister for a few cents.At that time, at home, the monthly living expenses were always a few dollars short!Third, the money collected for open-air movies in rural areas has not been handed over to the film studio... So, if "Shaolin Temple" is based on general statistics, its box office is indeed very high, but... the problem with these money is that the film studio did not receive it!That's why Gu Liang said that the box office has no reference value.
