One Zero Two Four Locomotive Entertainment Company.

He Ping counted the 11 characters in front of him. Today, this name is very famous in the film industry, comparable to the New Art City back then!

Looking away, there are movie frames carved from hard boards hanging on the honor wall. There are some honors and achievements listed under each film, which can be described as fascinating.

"Movies have nothing to do with life and death, and movies are higher than life and death! In this war about dreams and reality, it is not difficult to give up, but it must be cool to persevere!" - MR. Wu.

The trophies of the Palme d'Or, Golden Horse Awards, Golden Image Awards, Asia Pacific, Nantes and countless film festivals are placed in the glass window, but the center is empty, and the nameplate below reads the interpretation of "audience".

Stand up instantly!

Gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of ordinary people!

The purpose of [-] Locomotive Entertainment Company is exactly this, the audience is the highest standard they demand for themselves!
"Mr. He, this way please—"

The staff member in the OL's white short skirt took the initiative to interrupt the other party's train of thought, and said in fluent Mandarin: "Sheng Wu will finish the meeting soon, and I want to take you to Mr. Li's office."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, your Mandarin is really good."

He Ping hurriedly followed, with excitement in his eyes.

"In the company, Wu Sheng often speaks some Mandarin, and my immediate boss, Ms. Si Li, also speaks Mandarin very well. Naturally, we all need to get acquainted, especially since the company often sends employees to Wanwan, and recently some people go to the mainland... ..." The staff explained with a smile, stretched out his hand to press the elevator, twisted his buttocks and stretched out his hand to signal.

He Ping saw the staff's buttocks, and hurriedly hid aside, even though his heart was about to drip out of water, he still didn't dare to do anything wrong.

These are all 'court maids'!

It has to be said that the young man's ideological consciousness has reached the highest standard of licking a dog before going upstairs!
He Ping was a little dazed when he came to Hong Kong Island.

He never thought that the idol in his heart would take the initiative to invite him to come to Hong Kong Island. At first he thought it was a liar and almost called the police.

It wasn't until the other party made a phone call in person, and then confirmed by Yang Dechong, a senior in the Wanwan industry, that it was confirmed that it was Wu Xiaozu who really invited him to come to Hong Kong Island.

To him, it was like a dream!

May this dream never wake up.

……

In the conference room, the people in charge of all levels of the company are sitting in a state of distress.

"The total investment of "The Devil Wears Oprah" reached 610 million. The big part is the venue rental and the actress' remuneration.

However, due to the sponsorship of the Prada brand, part of the cost has been recovered first, and Sister Jiahua personally served as the producer of the film.

There is very little pressure in the later stage of this movie, and it is going to be released in January to coincide with the launch of Prada's new product, which is written in the contract..."

"The investment in "The Saint of Gamblers" is expected to be 1000 million, and now it has spent 800 million. It has already been filmed in the later stage, and it should be able to finish smoothly in the next few days.

It was a week earlier than the expected time, and the money saved can be included in the publicity and distribution costs. It was previously estimated that the publicity and distribution costs of this drama would be around 500 million.I'm the producer of this movie.The specific account expenses are also here..."

"The final box office of "Fear Room 2" in Hong Kong Island is fixed at 1055 million, which is the fulfillment of the company's set goal. The results in foreign markets, such as Thailand, Malaysia, Korea and Dongying, are also very impressive~ Now it has begun to enter the offline distribution stage. This series The profits of the video tapes are very impressive!

The third part is already in preparation and is expected to be released in March or April next spring.The investment will be increased by 3% according to this investment, and the dividends will also be rewarded to the entire main creative according to the percentage of the box office profit.Qiu Litao has set up a creative team..."

"A Fen is quite familiar with the filming situation of "City of Sadness". Director Hou plans to add an additional 5 US dollars to the budget of this film. We are checking it here. The specific completion time is estimated to be in the next year..."

"As for the cooperation you asked Brother Zhen to go to Los Angeles to discuss with Miramax Films, it is also in progress.

Brother Zhen is also buying an independent production company according to the plan formulated by the company... The specific choice is for small production companies, basically ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.The specifics are still in operation..." Jiang Ershao turned to the last page, which was the end of the report.

The independent film market in the United States has not really ignited these days, but independent film companies have begun to take the lead. Wu Xiaozu’s idea is to take the opportunity to acquire a small company. Much less resistance.

Today in the United States, there are only a handful of Chinese Americans in the entertainment industry.Before Uncle Long entered Hollywood with action movies, Zun Long should be the biggest Asian movie star.

Wu Xiaozu didn't want to make a big splash either.

Although Harvey is a scam, the initial cooperation value is not small.

When outsiders go to other people's bowls to snatch food, it is always better to keep a low profile. It is more appropriate to go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.

As I said before, nowadays, the independent film market is definitely a big gold mine!

In the wave of development of independent film production, make a fortune, find out the contacts in Hollywood by the way, and stand firm. This is Wu Xiaozu's plan.

So regarding the matter of Zhang Jiazhen going to North America to do acquisitions, although there was a lot of controversy within the company, Wu [-] million still made a final decision.

"Has the promotion of "Dragon Inn" been finalized?"

Wu Eryi was wearing bamboo and hemp clothes, and stepped on the old emperor's cloth shoes with thousand-ply bottoms. Holding the account sheet in his hand, he raised his head and asked suddenly: "This movie will be released in the mainland, so we must grasp the scale and not make too much trouble." gossip."

"Mr. Wu, the publicity plan for this film has been finalized. The conventional media and newspapers have already made greetings, and at the same time, they will also arrange for the main creator to appear on TV programs for publicity. After all, it is Wu Sheng's film, so it will attract the box office naturally. power and fan base."

Standing up, the deputy manager of the publishing department replied loudly: "In the past two days, I will greet the radio station and play songs on the charts. "The Love of My Life" has been recorded by Mr. Zhang Guoyi. I believe it will be welcomed by movie fans and fans. Rong Shao also Will cooperate with us to carry out a wave of publicity."

"Control the rhythm well and maintain the heat."

Wu Xiaozu nodded. Now the company has a professional process for this kind of thing. He only needs to control the general direction, and he doesn't need to be personally involved in everything.
Compared with this song, "Fate is a Bridge" in the hands of Hu Weili led to the cooperation of the iron lung singer Lin Zhixiang on Hong Kong Island and the new Northwest Wind female singer Tian Zhen from the mainland.

In the arrangement, many traditional musical instruments were also used. When Wu Xiaozu listened to the arrangement later, the suona sounded... almost felt like he was about to be sent away.

Different from other entertainment bosses, Wu Xiaozu started to check the company's bills and company accounts seriously today.

On the document, he will not sign without even reading it, but will make a decision after knowing it personally.

Film production, publicity, and distribution all have tricks to find. If a boss really doesn’t care about it at all, then you can only hope that your employees are all saints!

If a movie with an investment of several million is really allowed to act recklessly, it may be normal for props and production managers to deduct hundreds of thousands of benefits casually.

This situation must be strictly prohibited!
Of course, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

As long as it's okay on the surface, it doesn't matter.

Don't come up with such a silly thing like 3000 yuan for a straw hat, Wu Xiaozu won't get too deep into some water.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu is also clear about the market price, loss ratio, and the crew. Most of the accounts have minor flaws, and nothing too exaggerated has happened.

The meeting ended after the heads of the various departments of the company reported their work one by one.

At the meeting, it was also decided that 5-10 films will be successively invested in the preparation stage to determine the market share that will increase next year.Among them, Wu Yusen's "Double Heroes 2: Bloody Two Heroes!" ", Qiu Litao's new drama "Fear Room 3".It does not include Wu Xiaozu's works.

According to Wu Xiaozu's long-standing practice, he always has a commercial rhythm and a literary or experimental film rhythm.

After filming the commercial film "Dragon Inn", it is natural to experiment with other scenes.

A director, if he wants to maintain strong creativity, he must constantly try new things, whether it is movies or women.

This is also Wu Xiaozu's coup to keep it fresh.

...

At this time, He Ping was also assigned to Wu Xiaozu's office.

"Tea, coffee, or juice?" Lijue folded her legs and smiled gracefully.

"Coffee ready! Thanks."

He Ping sat upright, not daring to look at the beautiful woman in front of him, secretly looking at the furnishings in the office from the corner of his eye.

The artistic screen and the low-key luxury new Chinese decoration all reveal the taste of the owner.

Lijue waved at the staff, motioning for a cup of coffee.

"Director He, don't be too nervous. Wu Sheng admired your short film at the Golden Horse Awards very much. After the Golden Horse Awards, he specially found the video tape to watch. He himself appreciates your creative attitude, so let us Invited you to Hong Kong Island~" Lijue explained lightly.

"After all, he cherishes and loves talents, and he prefers to help filmmakers with ideas and talents. Director Wu also hopes to give you some help this time, or let you get in touch with movies better. He thinks you have more ideas... ..."

"Thank you thank you~"

He Ping stood up in a panic, thanked the staff, and took the coffee with both hands, "Thanks to Director Wu's attention, I am really sincere and sincere. I didn't expect Director Wu to think so highly of me!

I am ashamed to be..."

"I never praise people easily~"

Suddenly, a magnetic man's voice came from outside the door, and Director Wu walked into the office with a smile.

"Sit down, don't be cautious. I invite you here because I hope that you can give full play to your talents, and you won't simply be buried in the Bay Area. No matter what, the center of Chinese-language movies today is Hong Kong Island. A director or a film creator For those who live on the battlefield, talk on paper is superficial after all, and only practice can give true knowledge!"

"Director Wu!"

"Boss~"

He Ping and Li Jue stood up together and greeted each other. Li Jue skillfully took off Wu Xiaozu's coat.

"Sit... I know that you are from a major, and your foundation is not bad. At the same time, you have also studied in the Wanwan crew. Yang Dechang and the others have also recommended you to me. So, although you and I met for the first time, but in I knew something about you before that!

From the style of the movie, I can see your love for black humor movies... I think that on the Chinese film side, no one has more say in black humor movies than me.

Therefore, I can't bear to bury your talent, so I invite you to come and follow me..."

"I'm willing~~" He Ping was ashamed, and before Wu Xiaozu's words fell to the ground, he agreed impatiently.

Wu Xiaozu's reputation for being good at digging, nurturing, and training directors and actors has long spread across the Taiwan Strait.

How many people have been supported by him and entered the film circle?

Faced with such an opportunity, a filmmaker is definitely unwilling to give up!

The fact that the other party can readily agree shows that he is also a knowledgeable person.

Especially in his understanding of movies, it is obviously different from most of the film directors in Wanwan.

In the previous life, the other party's reputation was not obvious, but there was no lack of talent.

In this life, Wu Xiaozu also thought about whether he could use his own hands to forge the opponent.

There are not many Chinese film directors who can shoot films that understand black humor!
He is also planning to make a pioneering experimental film. Of course, this requires the help of people who know the structure better, otherwise it is not what he wants to make a pure boring film...

Today, in his place, he has indeed begun to make his own voice for the film world! !

This state is like a movie actor acting in a drama, and it is a reason to hone oneself.

Directors also need to constantly experience life.

Wu Xiaozu can experience a full sense of freshness every time~~ This is not a detailed talk!
"Brother Zu, you are looking for me..."

Liu Weichen knocked on the door and walked in with a curious expression on his face.

"Ah Qiang, you came at the right time. This is He Ping, a filmmaker from Wanwan. The crew of "Funeral" you are helping me prepare to arrange for him to enter together, so that he can get familiar with the working mode on Hong Kong Island." Wu Xiaozu took the initiative to put He Ping handed it over to Liu Wei.

The other party is also the executive director of "Funeral".

"Hello, Liu Weiyun!"

"Fortunately, fortunately, He Ping!"

Seeing the two people greet each other politely, Wu Xiaozu also smiled.As the company expands, its staff will inevitably begin to expand.

This is why the company has increased its film projects this year.

No filmmaker is born with knowledge, and he must have a lot of experience to forge his own film style.

Directors like Wang Jing are not for everyone!
Even, directors like him who are so sensitive to the market are really rare!
In this way, newcomers need to continue to explore before they can find a position that suits them!
This year, the Asian film director support plan will also appear in the public in a real sense.

This is his plan too!
Going out from his assistant director or assistant will undoubtedly maximize his benefits!

"Tomorrow, "Funeral" will officially launch. Have the actors been notified?" Wu Xiaozu said, "Let Ah Ping contact the actors for you, and you can teach him."

"No problem, Brother Zu! Ah Ping, come with me!" Liu Weishen nodded, feeling that he had gained a lot from the crew of "The Saint of Gamblers", but he didn't learn as much as Wu Xiaozu as an assistant director.

So, Wu Xiaozu recruited him to come back to help, and he ran over without saying a word.

　Uh... Which boss pushed the book or something?Why did it suddenly change from a lost favorite to a long favorite... It's kind of amazing
