"Azu? Movie——"

"Well - you eat too -"

Wu Xiaozu looked up at Old Freak Xu who was hesitant to speak, poked Mouse Ban with his chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender meat, put it in his mouth, took a sip of his cold beer, and nodded frequently, "Mouse Ban Steaming is the most important thing about heat. From boiling water to steaming, it is strictly limited to 8 minutes, no matter how much it is.

The star in the tail spot did not disappoint. I deliberately walked into the back kitchen and stared at the chef to make it. It has an elegant fragrance, smooth and delicious, and it has not been spoiled! "

At the round table in the lobby, Director Wu had the courage to point out the country, he didn't answer the words that Tsui Hark handed over, and slapped Wang Xianxian's long legs with the other hand.

The stupid and cute Xianxian looked at Laotao Wu who commented on the food in admiration, and immediately picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting, it's so beautiful!
Really fragrant!

Like Tsui Hark, the beautiful eyes squinted for a while, glaring at the other party like a protagonist with a cold start-noisy!
"..."

Tsui Hark quietly watched Wang Xianxian who betrayed the revolution, and really wanted to ask: Wang Zuzhen! ! ! !You agreed to speak for me, but now you do! ! ? ?
Amaranthus Wang enjoys the food like a squirrel, and even holds a chopstick for Wu Xiaozu beautifully: "If you don't listen, don't listen, bastard chant the scriptures!"What did I promise?Do not listen or not, I will listen to my master!

Seeing the couple's appearance as husband and wife, Tsui Hark and Cheng Xiaodong looked at each other.

The last one is to carry forward the style, you can’t offend me, I can’t afford to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...

The novel "Terracotta Warriors" is a romantic work created by Li Bihua, with obvious style characteristics. Tsui Hark has always wanted to put this play on the big screen.At the same time, it was also for Cheng Xiaodong's sake.As for whether to suppress Wu Yusen, there is no doubt about it!
But it cannot be denied.

When Wu Xiaozu opened up the mainland co-production market, Tsui Hark was also inspired by the other party, and he was even a pioneer in this area in his previous life.

Although this life is one step behind Wu Xiaozu, he is still very interested and ready to give it a try.

Facts have proved that these businessmen in Hong Kong Island are not just Wu Xiaozu who is a smart person.

As far as he knows, many film companies have been actively discussing cooperation with Yindu recently.The reason is nothing more than the positive impact brought about by the easing of cross-strait relations.

In fact, in the next few years, the number of films co-operated by Hong Kong capital and mainland film studios will increase exponentially.Hong Kong films going northward did not happen overnight. Before that, many filmmakers who left the state-owned factories began to accept foreign funds to enter.

Dongying and Hong Kong Island are the biggest sponsors of many literary and artistic films in the Mainland.

Wu Xiaozu asked Li Juice to set up an office in the mainland, also in order to seize the opportunity.Those literary films are not worthless, on the contrary, as Chinese-language films have appeared internationally, they have extended a lot of commercial value.

Instead of letting foreign businessmen buy out the skin, it is better for Wu Xiaozu to operate it himself.

He has seen this "terracotta warriors" in later generations.

In the previous life, this drama had mixed reviews, but Xiao Mouzi and Gong Li were indeed making a fuss at that time.

Many people in later generations wonder why Xiao Mouzi, a well-known director at the time, chose to go to Hong Kong Island, which he despised the most, to participate in such a commercial film that he despises the most.After all, at that time, Zhang Yimou had already begun to condense his godhead in the film industry~ at least he was regarded as one of the banners of Chinese-language films in the world.

It is surprising that he participated in the movie as an actor.

In fact, the filming time of this drama in the previous life was one or two years later, when his marriage was the most exciting time, and the people all over the country were running around telling each other diss that he was Chen Shimei~
When this guy was interviewed, he said frankly that he had no place to drill, and he didn’t have the money to open a hotel with the emperor, and then he wanted to find a space where he could get along with the emperor, so he took this drama~ Look at it , is this what people say? ?
But Xiao Zha Mou really thought so at the time. In fact, he really looked down on Hong Kong Island movies, and also looked down on commercial films, feeling that they were too far away from art. ,

Not even the post-dubbing.

Then... when filming "Heroes", I borrowed this idea many times~ It was even called "Heroes of Terracotta Warriors in Past and Present Life" by many fans~ Haha, what a fragrance!

Regardless of whether the white robe worn by Gong Huang and Zhang Manyu's white robe came from the same tailor shop.Let's talk about the palace emperor hitting the big and small bowls filled with rainwater with chopsticks, and making music for the sword-wielding Xiaomouzi.

There is a song in the rain, and the meaning moves with the heart. What is on the side is the heart of the sword, the heart of the piano, and the heart of the chivalrous.

Does this scene look familiar to you...

If you can't remember, then think about it, the scene of Li Lianjie and Zhen Dan playing the piano in the chess hall, the two of them walking through the water in the rain, the sound of the wind, the sound of water and the sound of soldiers, is it very similar?

After growing up, he finally became the person he hated the most when he was a child - a tribute to Xiao Mouzi. ╮(╯▽╰)╭!
"I'll say it myself."

In the Furong restaurant, an old man wearing a neat suit, glasses, and a mustache came out with a smile and a glass of wine, followed by a capable woman with short hair in a professional suit.

Director Wu, who was having dinner, saw the visitor, gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, got up and smiled and said hello: "Zhu sir, accompany sister Zhu!"

He picked Tsui Hark with his eyes, and knew in his heart that it seemed that this was the real master this time.

Both of them are seniors in the circle.

Zhu sir's original name is Zhu Mu. Most people think that Li Heizi is the first person to blatantly go to the mainland to eat crabs. In fact, it is not the case——Back then, Zhu Mu and Li Hei were seeking development in the mainland, and they finally talked about "Burning the Old Summer Palace", "Burning the Old Summer Palace", " Listening to politics behind the curtain", but Li Hei ignored Zhu Mu and played by himself-this made Zhu Mu angry...he scolded Li Heizi for not being a son of man!
Then his wife, Han Peizhu, out of anger, took the opportunity to help her husband vent his anger, and established Goodman Entertainment Company.

They started to make movies in the mainland. In the first two years, "Kapok Kasaya" and "Mirage" were all invested and produced by them.The queen actor is Yu Rongtong.

The two couples have a lot of contacts in the mainland these days.When chatting with Tian Zhuangzhuang, Huang Jianxin and others before, they also talked about their husband and wife.

Everyone believes that "Kapok Cassock" is the first co-production film in the true sense, and the cooperative unit is Fushi Film Studio.

The reason for saying this is because the few films including "Shaolin Temple" are actually imported and screened in the mainland... You read that right.

As for the box office exceeding 1994 million~ there is no accurate information, and it is even impossible to check the number of moviegoers.Those who open their mouths and keep their mouths shut, if so...how many billions of "Shaolin Temple" can sell, there is no need to talk about the box office, because before the account sharing agreement was implemented in [-], the box office results were useless!

More importantly, distribution income!
The data can be checked. In 1990, Hu Jian, the general manager of China Film Corporation, which had not formed a group at that time, announced in the "Chinese Film Yearbook" that the distribution income of "Mom Loves Me Again" was more than 4700 million yuan, the highest since the founding of the People's Republic of China. the highest film.

This is more convincing.

As for word of mouth such as "The Mysterious Buddha", "405 Murder", and "Shaolin Temple" with a box office of over [-] million, it is actually impossible to calculate it.Of course, it's not wrong to make a general estimate.But it cannot be analyzed as a historical fact.

The couple Zhu Mu and Han Peizhu have very deep connections in Huaxia Film Co-production Company.

When they appeared, Wu Xiaozu was also very surprised.

"I ask you to call you Azu. I really have to find you through Tsui Hark~ I hope you don't mind, Azu.

I have seen your movie and like it very much.

Especially when I heard that you went to the mainland for a few months to remake Jin Quan’s "Dragon Inn", and you even put it aside for the sake of the quality of the film, this is something that many filmmakers can learn from..." Zhu Mu smiled kindly and raised his glass to praise.

"Where is it~ what should be done."

Wu Xiaozu also lifted the cup, smiling on his face, MMP in his heart.If my company's crew dared to do this, I would kill those people who rushed to the street with a single knife.

"Azu is not only good at making movies, but also has made great achievements in the catering industry. Now Longcheng Ice Room Tea Restaurant has opened four or five restaurants in Hong Kong Island, right? I think the business is very good. It is really a formidable future."

Han Yanzhu beside him added with a smile, "My Furong Restaurant has sent people to learn the operation mode of Longcheng Ice Room..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaozu realized that this famous restaurant, one of the few in Hong Kong, is actually owned by others.

In fact, Han Peizhu himself is very experienced in the catering industry on Hong Kong Island. There are several restaurants under his banner, and his Japanese restaurant Youhe is even known as the celebrity canteen, and there are many celebrities patronizing.

Later, a lot of business in this area was also carried out in the Mainland.

Feelings are delivered to your door? ?
Wu Xiaozu smiled at Tsui Hark without a trace.

"The dishes at Furong's side are really good. Azu just exaggerated the chef's skills! Mmmm...so delicious!" Tsui Hark picked up a chopstick of fish meat, and hummed.

Director Wu squinted his eyes, Tsui Hark lowered his head, and Cheng Xiaodong lowered his head, as if they had an appetite all of a sudden.

"I also listened to what Director Wu said to you just now. It seems that you really know how to eat and drink. No wonder the catering business is doing so well." Han Peizhu echoed with a smile.

"It's just superficial. Who doesn't know that Furong Restaurant is one of the restaurants that serve the best Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong. With my level, Guan Gong can only wield a big sword in front of Guan Gong!" Wu Xiaozu smiled modestly and took the initiative to pull Open the chair and give up the seat to the couple.

"I didn't expect Tsui Hark to be the one who invited me, Sir Tiju."

"...hehe..." Xu Hark laughed dryly.

He was also a little guilty.

However, it is also understandable that no one can let go of the turmoil in their hearts to go to the mainland to film. This kind of live-action shooting is very attractive, and they are also very curious about co-productions.

Therefore, when Zhu Mu wanted to invest in "Terracotta Warriors" and asked them to help find Wu Xiaozu, he immediately volunteered.

For Tsui Hark, they don't know the mainland market, but they think they can give it a try.

Especially Wu Xiaozu is so enthusiastic, he has no reason not to follow closely.Based on his understanding of Wu Xiaozu, the other party would never make a loss-making business.In addition, Wanwan's funds really drove them to explore on their backs, and he also had intentions.

Anyway, Director Wu is used to being a leader. He was the one who brought in the Wanwan funds. This time Tsui Hark also felt that following the other party would save a lot of detours.

Coupled with Zhu Mu's support, the idea of ​​wanting to cooperate with the mainland in a play also arises.

That's why we have today's game.

"I really want to work with you, Azu, to film this movie. My wife admires Ms. Gong Li very much. After inquiring, I found out that Director Wu holds some of Ms. Gong Li's film contracts and brokerage contracts. I also hope that your company can Let's work together, it would be great if you, Azu, can personally supervise the production!"

Zhu Mu looked at Wu Xiaozu's noncommittal attitude with a smile, and changed his voice, "I don't know what you think, Azu?"

"I welcome cooperation..." Wu Xiaozu smiled.

"Don't worry, we can discuss the matter of cooperation, and the schedule can also be adjusted."

Han Peizhu continued: "If Director Wu is willing to act as the leading actor, I think it would be perfect."

Wu Xiaozu was happy.

Is this to allow me to have more time to get along with the emperor?

It's a pity that Wu Xiaozu himself really has no interest in acting.

"I'm sorry, just perform. I don't have much time and I don't have the ability..."

"Director Wu is being modest, I've watched your performance in "Carmen in Mong Kok", it's very good!" Han Peizhu laughed.

"That's right, Azu, when you cameo in "A Chinese Ghost Story", I thought you could do it!" Tsui Hark clamored.

"Let me let the company study it internally."

Wu Xiaozu didn't answer, only talking about the collaboration on the film.

"Actually, I invited you, Azu, to be the leading actor. Brother Li gave me a suggestion. He thinks you are more suitable for the character in the play." Zhu Mu sat down slowly, smiling all over his face.

who? ?

Seeing Wu Xiaozu's puzzled expression, Zhu Mu repeated with a smile, "Li Hanxiang~"

Seeing the other party's usual look, Wu Xiaozu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

When filming in the mainland, Li Heizi and he boasted about the "resentment and hatred" between Zhu Mu. The love and hatred between you is that you took the initiative to sell me in a blink of an eye, right? ?
Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu still felt that it was not easy to be caught in the middle. I guess Li Hanxiang was in a mood.

The big director just threw himself out. . . . .

Don't be a son of man!
"Zhu sir and Uncle Xiang..."

"The matter of Chen Zhima rotten millet, but it's nothing to be an old friend who has been with him for decades. At the beginning, we couldn't get along with each other, so we parted ways. But it doesn't affect personal feelings... He strongly recommends you to be the leading actor. I really think you can show the masculine beauty of a man!" Zhu Mu said with a smile.

On the contrary, Ms. Han next to her said sourly, "Director Li Da is not good at being a man, but he does things fairly well."

"How about this, I'll go back first..." Wu Xiaozu pondered for a while, but still temporarily stabilized the other party.

This drama is worth adapting, especially the other party's connections are what Wu Xiaozu valued more.

"Azu~~ I sincerely invite you to play the leading role in this play. I believe in Li Hei's vision. If he thinks you are suitable, then you must be suitable. Please believe in my sincerity." Zhu Mu refused Forgive me, be sincere.

"That's right, Azu~" Tsui Hark added fuel.

"I really don't have time..." Wu Xiaozu had no choice but to evade.

"It doesn't matter, we will set the schedule of this drama according to your schedule. As long as you have time, this drama can wait for you!" Han Peizhu said proactively.

Looking at the sincere eyes of several people, Wu Xiaozu's tone froze.

Is this trying to force someone into prostitution? ?

"Let me think about it~" Reluctantly, Wu Xiaozu took the novel, "I'll go back and study, no matter what, I still hope that this drama can involve [-]..."

"Of course~" Zhu Mu confirmed with a smile.

Looking at the grouper and the dishes on the table in front of him, Wu Xiaozu felt the same.

Why was I pushed into a corner~
Is the Golden Horse Best Actor nomination so attractive? ? ?
