My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 538 Meng Changjun and "The Gambler" (6000+)

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Sit anywhere--"

Wu Xiaozu gestured like a spring breeze for Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei, Liang Chaowei, and Zhou Xingxing to sit down in the reception room.

"Nina, help me postpone the afternoon meeting. At the same time, tell the distribution department and the marketing department to control the rhythm of the movie's announcement."

Li Zhi stepped on the beige classic stiletto heels, her jade feet arched a very graceful arc, and her calves were beautifully lined under the nylon ultra-thin stockings.

Wearing a white A-line skirt and a chiffon bell-sleeve shirt, she stood obediently behind Boss Wu, and while helping to put away the suit, said affectionately, "That's great, Boss."

The white and tender little hands gently caressed the broad back, helping to flatten the light blue shirt, talking softly.

"Boss, after a while Mr. Weinstein will call from across the ocean. At noon, you have an appointment with Director Chen Kexin, Ms. Wang, and Sister Wang for dinner.

That's right, there is another Ms. Liu who also called to ask you to talk about work..."

"Miss Liu?"

Wu Xiaozu just sat down on his buttocks, he couldn't help being startled, he didn't think of any 'Miss Liu' for a long time.

Does Miss Hong Kong have a surname Liu?

"That's right, Ms. Liu said that last time Omen had a pleasant chat with you, the boss. She recently wanted to talk to you about some film work, so she made an appointment at the Peninsula Hotel."

Li Jue moved to his side, leaned down on his upper body, Feilong rode his arms, carefully raised Wu Xiaozu's arm that was resting on the armrest of the sofa, and helped him roll up his sleeves, his movements were very familiar.

Zhou Xingxing couldn't help taking a sneak peek, his legs were X-shaped and tight, Miss Tianyinyu's secretary ~ who can bear this? ? ?
"Film negotiation..."

When Wu Xiaozu saw Liang Chaowei with a melancholy face, it suddenly came to his mind:
oh!It turned out to be Ms. Liu with excellent skills!

I wasn't very interested at first, but when I saw the future goalkeeper here, I somehow wanted to go to the appointment. You said it was because of this... It's too loose.

There are challenges everywhere in life.

"Help me postpone the conference call for a while. Arrange Brother Zhi to pick up Xiaoxian, and eat crab paste at Fulinmen instead at noon. Ms. Liu... Tell her... Forget it, I'll call her back later."

Wu Xiaozu smiled, originally, kicking an empty goal is not interesting, it is fun to kick a goal with someone guarding it.

Now, the future starting goalkeeper is sitting in front of him, but he doesn't know why he doesn't sneak a shot. Thinking about the last 2:0, why are his two big waists still a little bit ready to move...

I am kind, why are you here?
Forget it, hit environmental protection.

Blamefully glanced at Liang Chaowei's melancholy white shirt, you let me lose a chance to be a good person, Mr. Bianji!!!
Liang Chaowei looked at Mr. Wu in front of him and suddenly looked at him with sharp eyes and all kinds of tastes. He was a little unsure for a while, Zhang Er King Kong couldn't touch the hat.

Glancing at Xingzi next to him, he was sitting upright—but you are too obscene, aren't you?

"Hi Wu Sheng~" Xiao Liang smiled and bowed.

"Brother Zu!" Zhou Xingxing also hurriedly followed.

Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly, and put his hands on the long legs in silk stockings set off by 8CM high heels. The texture was delicate and smooth, and his movements were very skillful.The other party gave him a sweet and charming look, and walked out.

Watching Li Jue leave, Wu Xiaozu turned his head and nodded at Wang Jiawei, and finally his eyes fell on Liu Zhenwei, who was showing a harmless smile on humans and animals, honest and honest.

This guy is smarter than the three people next to him at first glance, with a treacherous and loyal appearance.

He also recognized the other party's talent very much.

Think about it, changing different vests can make the film's performance explode, how can it be a mediocrity?It's not easy for a novelist to change his vest...

As for Waterloo in later generations, the first is that the mind is not on the film, and the second is that it really can't keep up with the form.

However, even if the movie turned into shit, the investors didn't lose money, that's a skill!
"Director Wu~ I'm sorry to bother you, please also invite Haihan." Liu Zhenwei grinned, neither humble nor overbearing.

We don't know what it means to be neither humble nor overbearing, and we dare not ask.Maybe it's just that there is no aura of scumbags and tyrants in Wu's scumbag's big waist?
"Don't be too restrained, we are all old friends now."

Eyes like moonlight, a slight smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, "You and Jiawei are close friends, so naturally you are not outsiders.

I also heard him mention your matter.

Not a bad thing.

A filmmaker must always have his own feelings.

There is nothing wrong with making money, but it is not advisable to have no pursuit at all.

Movies are a creation of self-human liberation. Pursuing the original heart may not be the best progress and method.

There is nothing wrong with commercial films, literary films or other choices. The most important thing is that you have to grasp the steelyard in your heart.

Filmmakers can have no skills, but they can't be without feelings.

If there is any unresolved knot between you and Boss Deng, I can help you a little bit. "

Wu Xiaozu made tea and washed cups with a smile like the spring breeze and rain, his eyes were bright, and he continued thought-provoking:

"I also know that the film industry is very chaotic now, but the industry is not static, it is like a quagmire, there is really no room for reasoning.

I mentioned the film directors' association at the Academy Awards before, and now the film directors' association is gradually taking shape.

The establishment of the Hong Kong Island Directors' Film Association is to provide a reasonable place for filmmakers who really want to contribute to Hong Kong films and really want to make a difference.

As long as you can bring new vitality to Chinese-language films, I can help you do what you can. "

As he said, he turned over four delicate and smooth white porcelain tea bowls, poured half a cup of tea, and distributed it to the four of them, "Since the four of you are here today, don't think I'm nagging you. Tomorrow's you may be today's Wu Xiaozu It is a consistent tradition of our Chinese filmmakers to support the younger generation."

Hearing these words, Zhou Xingxing's pores all over his body puffed up as if he had eaten a fairy peach, and he was so excited.

This speech is really bold and big-hearted!

Of course, it doesn't matter.

The four words of supporting the younger generation are the most important! !Thinking about Director Wu's approach along the way, the other party can really be described as "the unity of knowledge and action"!
How many directors have you supported?camera?actor?
Nowadays, there is a comment in the circle of dragons: An De Guang Mansion with tens of thousands of buildings is not as good as a sentence in Wu Clan.

The Guangsha team definitely disagrees with this sentence, but unfortunately there is no other way~╮(╯▽╰)╭!
Liang Chaowei also straightened his mind, admiring him secretly, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: It wasn't Mr. Wu's fault that he acted in an LLL-rated film.

Moreover, in the art hall, there is no classification of L-rated movies and II-rated movies, they are just divided artificially.A work, the most important thing is quality.

"Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" must be an excellent classic that can even be called "epoch-making".The character of Bian Ji played by myself is also very complicated, full of tests of human nature.

Speaking of which...Director Wang Jiawei is right, but his heart is not strong enough, a real actor can face any role!
There are bits and pieces of perseverance in the melancholy eyes.

He suddenly felt that Xiaozu Wu could really be called a filmmaker!good play!Good people!Better character!

Only Director Wu can save and develop Hong Kong films!
It is true that movies cannot be mixed with too many irrelevant things, and a filmmaker must have feelings and pursuits.

Glancing at Wang Jiawei, who was smoking with his legs folded, and looking at that face in the smoke, he suddenly seemed to feel the insistence on art in Wang Jiawei's soft and sensitive heart!

Famous teachers and high apprentices!
Wang Jiawei was smoking a cigarette, with his long legs stacked there, Wu Xiaozu's words were really deafening to him! ! !
In the past few days, Deng Guangrong, Xiang Shisan, and Boss Cai have all put pressure on him, and he was a little bit unsure, so he asked Wu Xiaozu for advice.

Oooh!
The floor tiles paved by the money box office on Hong Kong Island, where is the road leading to the palace of art?
Unexpectedly, the master's casual words are so high-level, and the master's appreciation of life and concern for filmmakers are really nowhere to be found—but they are everywhere!

Luckily for me!

Fortunately for Hong Kong movies!

Luckily for Chinese films!

Movies not only have to live in front of the eyes, but also poetry and the distance!

Liu Zhenwei blinked, what he said made people feel excited, but he didn't know how to say it, he always felt that his words were a bit over-nourished... By the way, it seemed to be a bit similar to the Carnegie tapes he heard at the American airport before.

However, no matter what, he was indeed a little touched.

I can stand up for myself without saying a word, no matter what my thoughts are, the other party's title of "timely rain in the film industry, Hong Kong film Wu Mengchang" will not deceive me!

Thinking of this, I quickly served tea to pay tribute.

"Director Wu, thank you for your heartfelt words! The relationship between Boss Deng and I has not reached the point of quarrel. As you said, after shooting a few ghost films, I always feel that I want to try new genres. place, I always want to see the scenery outside.”

Liu Zhenwei replaced wine with tea, still cautiously smiling, "This time I also heard about Director Wu from Wang Jiawei, so I also came here with the script to try my luck. I hope Director Wu can correct it. If it looks good... ..."

Needless to say, everyone understands.

How about this guy whose head is no smaller than Wu Yusen's is a smart person?You see, the three guys next to him have long been fascinated.

""Rogue Miss"?"

Wu Xiaozu took the script and nodded slightly.Unlike Wang Jiawei, Liu Zhenwei's script is really very formal.

"This drama is not bad, but I have a thought recently——"

Liu Zhenwei smiled and said: "I was greatly inspired by watching Director Wu's "God of Gamblers". Just a while ago, I saw the news about internal energy and supernatural powers in mainland China. interesting."

Special function + gambling movie~
Isn't this the holy shit of washing, cutting and bragging?

Da-da-da~
Wu Xiaozu tapped the handle of the sofa with his fingers, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's really a gimmick. Come out and have a look... If you want, let's call it "The Saint of Gamblers."

He glanced at Liu Zhenwei again, "Gambling films are very popular now, and they are indeed a good subject right now. I will greet the production department of the company and give priority to your script."

"Thank you Wu Sheng."

Liu Zhenwei also looked happy, he likes "chaos" the most, but also wants to "spoof", that is, the post-modern nonsense in his heart.

Chewing a few words of the name of 'Gambling Saint', I also feel very domineering.

In his previous life, he was also the one who really opened up Zhou Xingxing's Ren and Du's veins, and only then did he have the appearance of a dark horse that shocked the movie world in "The Saint of Gamblers".

Zhou Xingxing's iconic laughter is actually excavated by this person called "Little Fatty" by Wang Jiawei.

Since then, there has been a person named Zhou Xingxing among the first-line movie stars, and only then has the praise of [-]% on Double Mondays.

The post-modern nonsensical style is actually an unexpected joy of logical thinking.Many people in later generations say with emotion that they want to imitate post-modern nonsense, but in fact they are not imitating post-modern nonsense, they are simply imitating Zhou Xingxing.

On the contrary, on some self-media platforms, many grassroots micro-movies and jokes vaguely have the shadow of post-modern nonsense.

Sometimes the so-called interpretation of bricks called beasts may really be just doing reading comprehension.

In the previous life, in "The Saint of Gamblers", Wu Siyuan and Liu Zhenwei's first appointed protagonist was not Zhou Xingxing, but Liang Chaowei!
It's just that the other party didn't have a schedule, because at that time, follow-up films like "The Gambler" were being filmed all over Hong Kong, and this film was just a small production, and the most expensive one was Andy Lau.Another one is that Liu Zhenwei is more familiar with Zhou Xingxing and thinks that he is more suitable...

Looking back, his choice was naturally wrong.

But in Wu Xiaozu's view, it would be fine if Liang Chaowei came to act.

Liang Chaowei's comedy talent must be underestimated.

In the early comedies of Zhou Xingxing, you can see the shadow of good friend Liang Chaowei, and vice versa! In "Yafei and Yaji", "East and West", "The Genuine Wei Xiaobao: The Ditch Girl under Order", etc., it can be seen that he has a good talent for comedy.

Of course, the original owner is here, and Wu Xiaozu is not easy to disturb. After all, there are too many fans in later generations, and he is also afraid that a certain author will be hammered to death.It's just so urinating, it's just so sincere, and it's just so vocal.

Moreover, Zhou Xingxing is cheaper than Bianji~ You can make a lot of money at a small cost, why should Wu Xiaozu spend more money?

"You write the script for this gambling film, and then give it to me. I will be the film producer myself. I think it will be more topical. Regarding the preparation of the actors and crew, I will let the company department contact you, and you will be fully responsible for the filming of the crew... "Wu Xiaozu made a final decision.

This play is really a big hit!
In their previous lives, Wu Siyuan and Liu Zhenwei never thought that a small third-tier star Zhou Xingxing could challenge those big stars, including Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanwen, Zhou Runfa, and Zhang Guoying.

In fact, in hindsight, the natural trend of the comedy market, coupled with Zhou Runfa's tall and powerful image, his down-to-earth personality is really pleasing.

To use the words of later generations, "The God of Gamblers" is a spoof of "The God of Gamblers".Just like "Scream" and "Scream".

"No problem, I'll deal with it when I get back." Liu Zhenwei didn't expect Wu Xiaozu to delegate power so much, and also agreed to be the producer of the film, he was very happy.

When Ying Zhijie was filming, his hands were tied and his mental pressure was relatively high.Wu Xiaozu is much more relaxed here, without box office pressure.

He can sway his "creativity" as he pleases.

"The Holy Gambler" is essentially an "experimental work" that no one thought of.

Zhou Xingxing looked anxiously at Wu Xiaozu, a powerful muscular tyrant, who had reached an agreement with rubber shoe mage Liu Zhenwei, scratching his mind, wondering how to hug Wu Xiaozu, a big muscular tycoon who aspires to be an MT for Hong Kong movies.

"Grandpa..."

"What kind of star boy?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled and poured tea for a few people, he was very approachable, most people became more modest and low-key as they walked higher.

Someone originally called him Zuzai, then Azu, then Brother Zu, Director Wu, and now some people call him Wu Sheng.

Zhou Xingxing was willing to accept the name Master Xing, but unfortunately his level was not high enough, and he suddenly became rich, so he had no choice but to have this nondescript name.

"I've acted in a few plays in the company, see... can I..." Zhou Xingxing scratched his head and smiled restrainedly.

"Is there any suitable candidate for "The Saint of Gamblers"?" Wu Xiaozu looked at Liu Zhenwei with a smile.

Liu Zhenwei was startled, then glanced at Zhou Xingxing, looked at it a few times, and smiled, "I haven't found a suitable choice yet, but I also think Axing is good."

"Then let Ah Xing try."

Wu Xiaozu handed the tea cup to the other party with a smile on his face, "You have been here for a long time, and I also heard from the company people that you have been very hardworking. "The Birth of a Prefix", "Fear Room" series and "Young and Dangerous" "The series have participated, and the experience is enough. Give it a try this time, don't let me down!"

"Ah? Oh oh oh... Thank you, Brother Zu!!" Zhou Xingxing didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, he stood up excitedly, knocked down the teacup, flustered, and his face was full of excitement.

"Thank you, Director Liu. Without this movie, you wouldn't be the protagonist." Wu Xiaozu made a point, and then said casually, "I know you have always liked the big screen, and I will communicate with Miss Fang. Go find it Sister Jiahua, let's have a look at signing the contract.

Now the company has a plan of [-] plays, which can be signed to you if you like.Don't worry, I will give you points based on your grades. "

Wu Xiaozu turned his head and added to several people, "You can do it too."

"Okay, okay, I'll go find Sister Jiahua when I go back!"

At this time, Zhou Xingxing really didn't care about how many dramas he got, even many actors at this time were like this. He wished the film company would sign him more movies!

Celebrities are different from actors, and Zhou Xingxing is not considered a star at this time.

Of course, it is difficult to estimate twenty.

It is also impossible to send thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for a play, and the contracts are all step-by-step.

It's not enough to cheat the other party, and he won't exploit like Li Xiuzhen.

It would be unbearable for another person, let alone Zhou Xingxing.

Thinking in another way, Zhou Xingxing is actually right.

But the butt determines the head, sitting in this position, there is no right or wrong.

Of course, he will also remind the company staff that the liquidated damages can be increased a bit.

As for whether you can keep it in the end... it's good that the benefits are in place.

Zhou Xingxing danced excitedly, which made Liang Chaowei a little envious.However, he does not lack filming.

Don't look at Luo Dong who stole his "City of Sadness", but Liang Chaowei really has no shortage of resources.

Compared with the actors of the same period, he is really smooth.Let’s not talk about the development of TVB. He is definitely a popular niche. At that time, Wang Tianlin said that “everyone knows Wei Xiaobao”. If Chen Xiaochun is synonymous with Wei Xiaobao in the eyes of 80s and 90s, then Liang Chaowei is synonymous with Wei Xiaobao in the eyes of 70s.

In the film industry, before Wang Jiawei, a good friend from PY, came, he and Xiaobao were very good at swordsmanship, and the resources in the circle were quite strong. Compared with them, Andy Lau was really a bad movie. Crawling and crawling over... That's not called resources, it can only be used.

"Wei Tsai, if the schedule works, we will cooperate in the future." Wu Xiaozu also wrote a blank check in advance

"Thank you Wu Sheng for your care." Liang Chaowei thanked with a smile.I am also very happy for my good friend Zhou Xingxing.

"Boss~Mr. Yongshengxiang just called, and I have something to talk to you about."

Li Jue was holding a tray with a few small dishes of tea in it, and walked over gracefully, Wu Shengnong said, "Don't drink tea on an empty stomach, drink tea all morning without eating anything..."

Xiang Shisan looking for himself?

Wu Xiaozu's expression remained the same, but his heart turned wildly. Before he could think about it, the little secretary had already pinched the snack and fed it to his mouth...

Now he really thinks that Liju is too suitable to be a secretary.

"I hate it, boss~"

Lightly tapped the gluttonous Boss Wu, Li Zhi retracted her fingers coquettishly.

Gollum~
Zhou Xingxing couldn't help swallowing when he saw Yujie Lijue, who had a charming voice and a sweet voice that made people feel like they were going to suffer from diabetes, but whose figure was so hot that it caused nosebleeds.

This secretary is simply...

Wang Jiawei's eyes lit up, and Wu Shengnong's words from the other party hit him immediately, and he ignored his master and secretary's flirting, and said directly: "Miss Li, are you interested in participating in my "Days of Being Wild"? It tastes like a magic city, very accented..."

"Huh? I'm sorry, I'm Mr. Wu's assistant now, and I don't have any plans to make a movie." Li Zhi was taken aback, and politely declined.

""Days of Being Wild"? Didn't you choose Ms. Qiu and Ms. Liu?" Wu Xiaozu squinted: Little brother, what are you doing? ?
Ms. Liu is also a dewy love, not to mention Qiu Mada, that is a small motor of the cultivation system that has been played since childhood~
I don't feel good about who you replace here!
"It's not the main character, it's just a sudden idea to add a plot character," Wang Jiawei explained, "It won't take long."

I believe you a ghost!
It won't take long.

But... he is going to film in the mainland soon, he won't take the juice with him, and find a job for the other party, so he won't have anything to do.

"In this case, if you have time, Nina, you can give it a try... After a while, I will go to mainland China to film, so you won't be bored." Xiaozu Wu said with a smile.

"Hmm... well, then thank you boss, thank you Director Wang." Lijue thanked her sweetly.

"Director Wang, is there any suitable role for me??" Zhou Xingxing asked evasively.

"Hehe... give me a lighter." Wang Jiawei laughed, not taking this issue.

It is really that Zhou Xingxing's temperament does not match "Days of Being Wild".

Of course, the most important thing was that he was so annoyed by these people who smoked cigarettes and just rushed to the street... It can't be said that the other party did it on purpose or just wanted to take advantage of it, it wasn't at all.

This kind of person has a subconscious talent called: pulling the lighter.

"...I didn't have a lighter? I don't believe you——"

Zhou Xingxing took out his pocket, took out three or four lighters, and stopped abruptly in embarrassment.

　Kouheng~ You arrange me, and I remember them all in a small notebook.Check out the link below... Cough cough... I didn't order it ￣□￣｜｜, the cold has improved a lot, but the voice is still a bit grumbling...
