My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 555 The great man is selfless and heroic

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
If you don't shoot, you won't shoot? ?

Chen Kaige, Yuan Baye, Huang Yuetai, Pan Hengsheng, Gu Changwei, Zhao Fei, Luo Lichen, Li Zhongzhi, Dong Wei, Yuan Bin, Liang Jiahui, and Chen Daoming looked at each other, digesting the news.

In the room, everyone's eyes were fixed on Director Wu, who was sitting in front of him with a golden sword in front of him.Seeing his unhappy face, everyone didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Dong Wei, an action philosopher of Hong Kong island film and television, who couldn't help but speak first: "Director Wu, really... suspend filming for a while?"

How much did you invest in this play?The total investment figure is not a secret, 3500 million+.

Tens of millions have been spent before this, including actors' remuneration, props, basic necessities of life, transportation, horses and horses...

At this time, the filming was suspended, and the loss was not just a little bit. They felt distressed when they saw this kind of loss.

The most important thing is that Wu Xiaozu's film completion index has always been very high. He is well-known in the circle as a fast shooter, and there has never been a "unfinished" project.

Could it be that the first unfinished ending was met by them? ? ?

In the circle, there are countless unfinished things.And with the continuous influx of hot money, it will only increase.

In the past two years, the entry of Taiwanese businessmen has given many people the opportunity to be in charge of the film, and it has also led to the launch of many projects, but they are uneven.

In the first half of 1988, more than 60 Hong Kong films entered Taiwan, but more than 80 films were funded by Taiwan.

In the previous life, in 1992, the number of Hong Kong films entering Taiwan reached its peak, more than 200.But also this year, due to the flood of "Taiwan-funded Hong Kong films", the project approval bubble intensified, the economic transformation of the Gulf, and Taiwanese investment losses repeatedly.

In 1993, "Evil and West Poison" invested by scholars was overdue and "New Butterfly Meteor Sword" invested by Changhong failed at the box office.In the end, it became the direct fuse of the conflict between Taiwan capital and Hong Kong businessmen.

The boycott of Hong Kong films is coming as promised!

First, on April 4, the Taiwanese film industry in Bay Bay gathered to discuss lowering the prices of Hong Kong films. On May 22, the eight major film studios joined forces to form the so-called "Taipei Film Manufacturers Association Overseas Friendship Group for Chinese Films".
The first requirement is to agree on the salary of the stars.The second is to change the brand-new rake method to distribute Hong Kong films, 1000% of box office rake within 20 million, and 1000% of box office rake of more than 15 million.

The last requirement is to deliver more than 1993 unfulfilled films as scheduled by 'April 4, 24' and complete as soon as possible!These nearly 250 films are invested by the eight major film studios, how much do other film studios want?

At that time, the hot money in Korea, Singapore, and Thailand was huge!It is estimated that the total number is conservatively estimated at more than 400.This number is unimaginable in Hollywood, and it can even drag down the entire North American market!

Obviously, the implementation of these three items is not difficult or difficult, but impossible at all!
Only fools will agree, and those who disagree are the same group of fools.

There are too many directions involved in star salary restrictions, and it is impossible to talk about it.The change of rake method harms the interests of more people, especially for unfulfilled films.No one wants to make wedding dresses for others.

In the second meeting, several theater owners (Chen Rongmei, Huang Baiming, Luo Jiechen) and Ji (Xiang Sheng) came forward and reached a temporary agreement with Taiwanese businessmen to suspend the purchase of Hong Kong films for three months. In the end, Wanwan completely lifted the restrictions on the number of copies of Western and Japanese films in Taiwan, and Hong Kong films were completely left behind!

At that time, at the beginning, many Hong Kong film producers were not even ready to put on a posture. After the other party postponed and stopped the purchase many times, this made them recover a little bit of attitude, but they were still not sincere.

Then... Finally, I realized that without the overlord and the market's digestion, their so-called prosperity would collapse in an instant, and everyone would lose their jobs!
Chinese-language films directly surrendered to Hollywood under this kind of interest dispute over uneven distribution of spoils.

In 1993, the most miraculous year in the world film industry, Hong Kong films left the scene in a very funny and well-deserved way... Many people in later generations said that the old actors and big stars on Hong Kong Island were low-key, kind, kind, and kind, not They are low-key, but you didn't see them when they were crazy.

When an avalanche happens, no snowflake is innocent!
Wu Xiaozu didn't know how bad the suspension of his incident would be to Hong Kong films.Of course, Boss Wu will definitely not destroy his character design.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, director Wu's deep eyes clearly showed a touch of struggle and pain.

Looking towards the direction of the desert, the afterglow of the setting sun makes the earth appear golden yellow, and the sparse vegetation on the Gobi is so struggling to live.

Take a long breath.

"Co-productions in the three places make a world plan, and filmmakers from both sides of the strait work together.

He died before leaving the teacher, which made the hero burst into tears. "

His chin trembled slightly, he let out a long sigh, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing, so why not blame himself?

Several people instantly respected Zhuge Xiaozu, showing thoughtful expressions, and exploring doubts.

"Director Wu, is there any financial inconvenience? If there is a need, I can contact Director Wu to help solve part of it~ This movie——" Chen Kai asked proactively.

"Everyone—"

Wu Xiaozu looked around the crowd, raised his voice, and asked loudly with deep emotion and impulsiveness: "Do you think the filming was fun? Is this really what martial arts is all about? Are martial arts movies really limited to this? This movie is really ours. desired effect?"

"??" Several people had question marks on their faces.

On the contrary, Brother Chen Kai suddenly seemed to understand something, and he looked at Director Wu with admiration in his eyes.

"Why don't I feel sorry for everyone's dedication yesterday? In the past half a month, we have been going through the wind and the earth, working tirelessly, and not forgetting the original intention. Whether it is a mainland filmmaker—"

Gu Changwei straightened out her thin chest.

"We are still Hong Kong Island filmmakers, we are all united and want to shoot excellent works."

Wu Xiaozu looked around at the crowd, seeing that they were listening carefully, and continued: "But——

It is precisely because I have the best filmmakers from both sides of the strait that I have deeper thoughts on this film and blame myself!

I saw the impact of the shooting in the past two nights, it is beautiful, the sky is full of yellow sand, and the sun is covered by dust.What a heroic feeling of the lonely smoke in the desert.However, I also saw too many shortcomings in it, and I asked myself, can this film be shot better? "

"But no one can shoot this movie better than you?" Chen Daoming said from the side.

"What if I do it again?"

Wu Xiaozu's eyes were firm, and he said slowly: "There are always people cheering and saying, this is good enough! But there is a voice in my heart, it can be better!

This voice comes from us who are constantly moving forward and pursuing better.Yes, better is not the same as good, and there is no limit to better.

This is the story of "Dragon Inn", and this is everyone's story!
Can we do better?

The answer is yes.

I firmly believe that this drama will be better, because I believe in myself, and I believe in the strength of all of you.

Martial arts films will have different interpretation methods. This method should not imitate Li Hanxiang, nor should it imitate Hu Jinquan.

It should be new and traditional, bold and delicate, vast and lifelike. "Dragon Inn" is destined to be a work different from any previous martial arts movie.

That's why I decided to suspend the shooting and re-plan the whole shooting.For movies, for martial arts, and for art and audiences. "

Everyone was in awe, the mainland filmmakers trembled with excitement, and the Hong Kong Island filmmakers also showed respect.

"Don't worry, the filming of this film is suspended, and it will not be cut off directly. No matter how hard it is, you must be strong, just for those expecting eyes, if the heart is in the dream, there is true love between heaven and earth...Look Success or failure is a heroic life, but it’s just starting all over again——

Risking the disgrace of the world, overthrowing our shackles, dare to teach the sun and the moon to change into a new sky?

I dare, do you dare? "

"Director Wu! I support you!" Brother Chen Kai roared excitedly.

"I support you too!" Gu Changwei, the No. 001 dogleg, roared directly.

"Director Wu! I support you!"

"We support you!"

Yuan Baye glanced at Liang Xiaokou, seeing that his eyes were watching his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, so he had no choice but to raise his fists to support him!
"thanks, thanks!"

Wu Xiaozu nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, making a movie is looking for like-minded fellow travelers. I have a new interpretation of this movie, so I hope everyone will give me some time..."

"No problem! I'll go back and explain the situation to Wu Tianming's factory, and at the same time go to the imperial capital to report this matter. Art creation itself should not be restricted by such things! Director Wu...you are a real people's artist!" Brother Chen Kai Straightforward support.

"That's right! Brother Kai is right!" Gu Changwei said.

"I also feel that there is something wrong with the filming these days. It seems that we all need to rethink our thinking!" Chen Kai continued.

"That's right, I also think something is wrong!" Gu Changwei followed.

"..."

Yuan Baye glanced at Brother Chen Kai and then at Gu Changwei, and instantly felt that what he said was quite right!

"I think everyone knows about the change of roles two days ago..."

Wu Xiaozu suddenly brought the topic back to the role, and said in a deep voice with pain and firmness on his face: "As Director Chen Kaige said, there can be compromises and coordination in filming, but there should never be compromises and surrenders!
Since the actor doesn't want to act, I don't force him to stay.

I have already negotiated with Qingxia to expel her from the crew of "Dragon Inn"! "

(ΩДΩ)! ! !Everyone looked at Wu Xiaozu in shock.

This time Liang Xiaokou is not calm anymore~ He knows about the relationship between Lin Mitao and Wu Xiaoceng, that is definitely a revolutionary friendship that turns dragons and phoenixes!
Breaking up because of "Dragon Inn" and because of 'gold inlaid jade'? ? ? ! ! !
"Azu—" Liang Xiaokou couldn't help but want to persuade his good friend, the only person in this world who makes you useless and has no regrets is Lin Mitao!
"Director Wu??" Yuan Baye, Huang Yuetai, Pan Hengsheng and others couldn't help but say it.

"!!" Brother Chen Kai was also shocked and wanted to open his mouth.During their time in Hong Kong Island, Lin Mitao took good care of them.

"Don't worry, this doesn't involve personal friendship. There is no problem with Qingxia and I. But—"

Wu Xiaozu gritted his teeth and pressed his fingers against his heart, "For me, movies have nothing to do with life and death, movies are higher than life and death!"

The audience was silent.

Chen Daoming dug his nails into his flesh, and followed Director Wu... No, Mr. Wu.

Repeat this sentence in your heart, the more you chew, the more powerful you are, the more you tear your heart apart!
This sentence is the best motto for an actor: movies have nothing to do with life and death, movies are higher than life and death!
"Qingxia and I are friends, but that doesn't mean I'll let her disrupt my filming plan and my work."

Wu Xiaozu's eyes were bloodshot, veins popped out, and his voice was cold, "I repeat, no one is allowed to bargain with me during filming! Normal demands and suggestions are fine.

But once I have made a decision, I will execute it with my heart!
You have old friends who have worked with me on several plays, and new friends who share the same interests, but I also want to say that there is no shortage of anyone in Wu Xiaozu's crew!Even if she is Lin Qingxia! "

Gu Changwei suddenly turned pale with fright. He had joked that Director Wu had "soft ears".

Where is this soft ear?

This is so clearly a cold-blooded ruthless tyrant!It's even more iron-blooded than Hardt's big jumper... Wait, who is Hardt?do not care!But they knew who Lin Qingxia was!
Lin Qingxia! ! ! !
Which director from the two sides of the strait would dare to blatantly say here that Lin Qingxia was fired from the film crew? ? ?
Brother Chen Kai?You dare?You do not dare!
What about Zhang Yimou?You dare?You do not dare!
As for those Hong Kong and Taiwan directors... don't mention it!
Who dares?

Only I Wu·Zhen Leader·Artist·Director Dare!

Gu Changwei's monkey-cheeked face was flushed with satisfaction after hysteria, his legs were close together, and he looked up at Leader Wu with his chest up like an SS soldier... cough cough.

Liang Xiaokou's eyes widened, with a black question mark in succession.

At this moment, he also felt that Wu Xiaoceng was really crazy!

Everyone else had an idea in their hearts: selfless, iron-blooded and real man! b(￣▽￣)d!
"Director Wu~ We all know that you and Qingxia are good friends, so it won't affect our relationship... But once this matter is exposed, it may cause a huge storm to Ms. Lin and you~" Ye Weixin said dryly as if reciting lines He said the same thing, and his face was sweaty after he finished speaking.

"That makes sense." Everyone nodded.

"Then how?" Wu Xiaozu frowned.

"Why don't you find a reason?"

"Then find a reason. Let's say that Ms. Lin was injured during the filming and couldn't participate in the follow-up filming...I think this would be better?" Gu Changwei had an idea and thought about it, "Maybe we can also not announce it for the time being. If It's really not enough to let it out..."

"Then let's do it like this." Wu Xiaozu waved his hand tiredly, with a disheartened gesture.After thinking about it in my heart, these seem to be used as gimmicks for future publicity.

"How to arrange during the suspension of the movie? When will it resume?" Huang Yuetai asked proactively.

"I will explain to the investors.

Although filming is suspended, it does not mean that our work is not continuing.These days, we still need to run in and train.

As for the pause... at least a week, at most half a month, we continue to shoot! "

After speaking, Wu Xiaozu walked away without looking back, leaving only a firm and lonely back.

"This is the persistence of the martyrs!" Chen Daoming said suddenly.

"This is the fate of an artist!" Chen Kai nodded and sighed.

The two looked at each other, only to feel that the sound was hard to find.

Gu Changwei opened his mouth, "That's right!"

The reason why Lin Qingxia's withdrawal from the group was handled in this way was nothing more than to maximize the benefits!

The most important thing is that Wu Xiaozu must cut through the mess quickly and deal with it quickly.Taking advantage of the topic and adding gimmicks... As for using the little aunt to hype... Where is it? ? ?

Yesterday, Lin Mitao had a severe reaction to hyperemesis during early pregnancy, and she vomited out all the bitterness. How could Wu Xiaozu have the heart to shoot? ?
I don't even dare to let my little aunt shoot a martial arts movie... If I do it to my son or daughter, I will regret it! ! ! !

If the investment is in vain, let it be in vain. Anyway, there are a lot of leeks, so maybe such a publicity by yourself will be more gimmick.And it is not unacceptable to suspend shooting for a week to ten days.

At first, he wanted to find a reason to say that Lin Qingxia was injured, but he dared to tell lies in front of everyone. No one would believe the question?

On the contrary, this is a better explanation!
It is not an account to the public, but an account to the mainland.

After all, this drama has a background in the mainland, and Wu Xiaozu's random picks... It doesn't have a good influence.But exposing a little artist's eccentricity can be justified...

See, don't mess with me so much, I'm so anxious, I even dare to fire Lin Qingxia!
Now his mind is full of thoughts of taking care of Lin Qingxia.

What the hell, being a son for the first time in two lives... Bah, being a father for the first time... a dear father!
Wu Xiaozu really attaches great importance to it.

I am ready to contact the best maternity hospital in the United States, the best nurses, and the best environment, and let Aunt Lin go there to have a baby...

It will take at least a week for these tasks to go down.

At the same time, casting is also a problem.

It's too difficult to find an actress who doesn't lose to Aunt Lin's box office appeal...

My own Wang BB is quite attractive, but it is not suitable.

After removing the love for his children, Wu Xiaozu returned to the state of being motivated by interests.

Walking to Lin Mitao, he saw her lying on her side smiling and looking at herself.

"Look at what?"

"Human taste."

"It's not like you haven't tasted it~"

"I hate it..." Auntie Lin stretched out her hand and hit 'him' coquettishly, and apologized: "Isn't it a big loss?"

"drink water?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly, didn't care about this question at all, and offered to pour a glass of water for the other party, "I contacted Jiang Shao and A Yao last night, and told them to fly to the United States to arrange a house."

"I don't want to go alone~" Aunt Lin acted lazily. Seeing the tangled expression on her face, she smiled and said, "Okay, I know you care about me. But I really don't want to go to the United States. Now I am early pregnancy It’s just a big reaction, I asked the doctor, the normal reaction—”

"I also asked the doctor. For the first three months, I can't work hard, I can't do physical work, and I can't be tired. I will try to finish filming this movie within three months, and then fly to the United States to accompany you." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile .

"Okay~" Auntie Lin smiled happily, and winked playfully at Hu Yinmeng outside the door.

Hu Yinmeng stood at the door, shrugged and left.

She made a bet with Lin Mitao that Wu Xiaozu must be a career-oriented and ambitious man, but she didn't expect her to be wrong this time.

The other party turned out to be such a traditional man in his bones.

She admitted that the way she looked at men... Uh... After thinking about it, Auntie Lin was lucky too!

People often say: The most difficult thing to keep in the world is that Zhu Yan's speech is a mirror, a flower is a tree.

It is especially cruel to beauties.Whether it's slowly fading, or a hurricane passing through, it seems to be quite ruthless... She has gone through a lot of time with Aunt Lin, from being as brilliant as a cloud of brocade to being graceful.

The divine charm even made her fascinated.

At this moment, she smiled.

Laugh for each other.

She admitted that she was not as good as Aunt Lin.

Women, on the stalk of memory, who doesn't have two or three graceful flowers covered with emotions?

What about Wu Xiaozu?He didn't do anything to win Pingting, he helped this woman sweep away all emotions with his own hands, this matter, silence speaks louder than words!
