My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 651 Be a teacher for a day and be a father for life?Europa fashion catches up with the big fair!

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
At No. 100 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, there is a small tea art room called 'Gui Qu Lai Xi'.

The facade is not big, but it is very elegantly decorated. There is also a small flower garden in a glass room next to the facade. Through the transparent glass, you can see the flowers and green bamboos inside.

Although the temperature on Hong Kong Island in winter is not very cold, the humid air is still biting.It is an unbelievable thing to be able to see such a cluster of flowers on such a day.

People come and go on the street, and from time to time passers-by will look curiously at this elegant tea house.

Huazhi, Zulong Investment and E7 Culture jointly invested 1 million yuan to rebuild this street.Today, more than 40 entertainment companies, film companies, equipment companies, and four or five small theaters have opened on this original old street.

Whether these companies make money is another matter. Anyway, with the cooperation of China Travel Service and He Chaoqiong's travel company, many tourists who come to Hong Kong every year have begun to regard this place as one of the tourist attractions for group tours.

Many movie fans and young people are also willing to come here to take pictures.

Hong Kong people and media paparazzi are used to calling this place "Movie Road" or "Little Broadcasting Road".It is equivalent to Chungmuro ​​in Goryeo.

Many film workers from other regions often come here because of the reputation, and practitioners from Dongying, Korea, Wanwan, and Southeast Asia will also come here, either to study or invest.

Before, this place was favored by small independent film companies because of the low rent and many supporting equipment companies.

Now it has attracted many famous filmmakers, including Gao Zhisen Studio, Zhou Runfa and Lin Lingdong's Silver Award Film Company, Zeng Zhiwei's Good Friend Film Company, Sammo Hung's Baohe, Cheng Long's Weihe, Chen Xunqi's Yonghe Good... Even Fang Yihua's Metropolis Film Company has come here to set up an office, which is enough to show how much the film industry likes this place.

The Hong Kong Island Film Directors Association, Martial Arts Association, and Photography Association are also here.

In 1989, it was the most splendid era of Hong Kong films, and more than 1.2 film companies were established every day!
Of course, cornered companies fail every day.

Therefore, every time a new type of film is developed, it is an opportunity for many small companies to make a fortune.

"Dragon Inn" broke the opening record on the first day, and these "stealing masters" colleagues contributed a lot of box office.

...

A man with tall legs and long legs, wearing sunglasses covering his face, walked into this 'Return to Home' tea house in a daze.

The dark lenses reflect the leisurely antique decoration in the room.

"Sir, may I ask who are you looking for?" The delicate tea girl came up to her with vigilance in her eyes.

Rong had to be on guard.

The tall man in sunglasses in front of him has messy hair, his suit is full of wrinkles, and his shirt collar is oily. You can smell the bad smell from him even if you are far away. This smell penetrates your nose, and then smells it again... …

Not to mention the heels of the leather shoes, the uppers seemed to be spilled with vegetable soup.

In short, no matter how you look at it, you look like a tramp.

Fortunately, this tea girl has extraordinary vision, and can tell that the other party's clothes are not popular.

Especially the other tie clips on the tie, which seem to be the limited edition tie clips with the gold-plated logo of "God of Gamblers". A total of 999 pieces have been sold worldwide, and each one is priced at HK$5999.

The profit of "God of Gamblers" is not inferior to that of the movie box office.This can be regarded as Director Wu's little coup to make money.

People who can afford to wear a 5999 Hong Kong dollar tie clip must maintain the minimum etiquette even if they are down and out.

"I've made an appointment with Liu Zhenwei."

The tall man squeezed out a smile, trying to make himself more friendly, but when he squeezed, the corners of his mouth twitched in pain——
"You are Mr. Wang? The boss has been waiting inside for a long time...please come with me."

……

The tea room is fragrant, burning a piece of sandalwood.

The delicate tea art master raised the orchid finger and turned the teacup, gently poured the tea soup, put the tea utensils away one by one, put his hands on his stomach, bowed slightly, and stepped back.Leave room for guests.

"What can you tell me?"

The dignified Liu Zhenwei picked up the teacup and couldn't help but put it down, staring straight at the good friend in front of him, "Long-legged king, are you crazy? Don't you know who these people are? It turns out that with the money and roles of the two films, you ended up filming one film out of nowhere..."

Seeing the old friend in front of him drinking tea one after another, Liu Zhenwei also stopped him helplessly, "The three companies have successively invested more than 5500~You are now..."

"Days of Being Wild" has been filming for 10 months, and filming has also stopped during the period, but this kind of filming time has been really "lengthy".Originally, there were three companies in this life to let him squander, and the two episodes of "Days of Being Wild" are also a certainty.Then... After filming and filming, he started again, and finally made a movie...

This play cost 5500 million Hong Kong dollars!
Cheng Long's big-budget movies are not as high as this one, and this figure is even higher than "God of Gamblers".At the beginning, the latter invested 3500 million at the beginning, and then added 150 million, and then an additional 300 million. The total production cost is almost 4000 million!
That play was an explosion from heaven to earth, with countless big scenes!

What about Days of Being Wild? ? ?

Millions of dollars were wasted on film, even a small prop needs to be customized, and the battle line is too long, eating, drinking, and sleeping have already dragged down... 5500 million was spent by Wang Jiawei in the end, and now there is still a lack of a play~ The problem is that with the release of "Dragon Inn" to make money, Cai Zhiming's Fuyi Films, Xiang Shisan's Yongsheng Films, and Xu Feng's Tomson Films Co., Ltd. are also in a hurry~
"Days of Being Wild" was filmed a few months earlier than "Dragon Inn", and then... they are now making a lot of money, but the three of them have never seen it.

Can--

The biggest problem now is that Wang Jiawei can't deliver two movies! !
What to do? ? ┓(`)┏? ?

This frightened Liu Zhenwei, who was rushing to produce the new play "A Manga Going to the End of the World", and asked the crew to shoot first, so he directly asked Wang Jiawei to meet him!
Tomson's film career is good. Although Xu Feng is a senior in the film industry, he is a veteran in the industry.

But who are those two masters?

Liu Zhenwei rubbed his temples, feeling the blood vessels in his head throbbing.

"This matter can only be settled by Wu Sheng!" Liu Zhenwei shook his head, "Others can't cover it."

Wang Jiawei stared at the tea bowl carefully, and picked out the miscellaneous leaves in the tea bowl. This action made Liu Zhenwei angry...

"Did you hear what I said?"

"I'm listening."

Wang Jiawei twirled the teacup with his big hands, and gave a smile to his friend, "It's okay~ Big deal, I'll make more movies for them for free in the future."

"You're a big-headed ghost without you! Throw—"

Liu Zhenwei couldn't help yelling, he was too anxious when he got up, and knocked over the teacup.He stood up, took two steps back and forth, and made up his mind: "This matter must be left to Wu Sheng."

He raised his head, glanced at Wang Jiawei, and sighed, "You can't handle this."

He understands that his good friend doesn't understand the twists and turns here.

"Do you think the master can invest tens of millions in me so that I can continue to shoot..."

Before Wang Jiawei could finish speaking, he saw Liu Zhenwei looking at him stupidly.

Pretty~ Do you really think your surname is Zhao?
With an investment of tens of millions, as the manager of the creative and editorial department of Locomotive [-], he understands Locomotive [-]'s film plan and complete production process.

"Even if you have money, it's not easy to do business now~ Do you still want to spend 10 months filming?" Liu Zhenwei shook the tea on his hand helplessly...

Wang Jiawei came over, bent over with a tissue to help him wipe his pants——

"You two, I'll add water for you..." The younger sister of the tea master looked across the table and silently backed out.

Liu Zhenwei black face!
"Call Wu Sheng!"

……

Winter Fashion Week in Milan, Italy, fashion designers, models, fashion magazines, ready-to-wear manufacturers, major apparel companies, major luxury goods companies, celebrities big and small, celebrities... Women's watches from all over the world are rushing here, and they are here Like a big market in the countryside, it is overcrowded.

The Milan Winter Fashion Show is divided into several big shows, and different designers and brands will have their own unique shows.

At this time, Director Wu, who was sitting in one of the shows, leaning against Zhang Xiaohui, Hu Yinmeng, Adjani, and Guan Qiuqiu, couldn't help but sneezed.

"Ah... sneeze—"

"Brother Zu, here..." Zhang Xiaohui posted a handkerchief over here. After arriving in Milan these two days, Zhang Xiaohui was extremely excited.

Director Wu would drink at least four bottles of wine with his daughters every night... Overseas, he is not afraid of being photographed.The attention itself is not high, and I originally wanted to take the opportunity to promote "Dragon Inn".

This kind of opportunity is not easy to find.

Taking advantage of the extravagant atmosphere in Milan, Wu Xiaozu also indulged himself.

In comparison, the model circle is more chaotic!

After these few shows, "Harper's Bazaar" also arranged a lot of interviews in Milan, which is extremely rare in Asian magazines.

Fortunately, there is Adjani's endorsement, and in the past two years, major brands have also become interested in this emerging market in Asia.Hong Kong Island is undoubtedly a big springboard, radiating the entire Southeast Asia and the mainland market!

Wu Xiaozu doesn't know now that he is a cheap apprentice who is going to ask him for help.

Germany, France, Italy and the Netherlands This is the location of several promotional road shows of "Dragon Inn".

Compared with the low scores of the Berlin Film Festival catalogue, the European market is extremely welcome to this kind of historical epic movie with a big scene of classical cold weapon battle, and at the same time, there is no shortage of political metaphors and humanistic commercial movies.

Negotiations with Jiang Zhiqiang were also very smooth.

Lin Linzong has already sold more than 400 million US dollars, which is not even inferior to "God of Gamblers", but don't forget that "God of Gamblers" is the harvest of the past half a year, and "Dragon Inn" has just started...

Among them, the two big openings in North America and Southeast Asia have not yet been opened.The copyright of these two places is the big one!Even if the Hong Kong Island box office cannot make ends meet, the mainland box office can't make much money, and Wu Xiaozu has already made money.

These copyrights were awarded to [-] Locomotive after filming.

Such a result is enough to make the financial statement soar countless!
