My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 685 As close as a brother, the list of golden statues

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Mr. Zhou, your coffee—"

"Thank you!"

Zhou Xingxing raised his butt in a hurry and stretched out his hands to take the coffee handed by the assistant. From the corner of his eye, he glanced into the office, unable to hide his anxiety, and asked cautiously and politely, "Excuse me, is it my turn in time?"

He thought back to the reports he saw together this morning, and he seemed to have lost his soul.Only after going through the trough will you understand the preciousness of "acquisition".

A "God of Gamblers" praised him too highly!
Zhou Xingxing himself was dizzy~ When filming "A Manga Going to the End of the World", he also didn't know what to do.

At that time, he was praised by countless people.

The feeling of being rich from the poor!
All of a sudden, after being yelled at this time, the whole person is full of sincerity and fear, and has no confidence!
Then I watched unpredictably that the box office continued to rise, but "A Comic Going to the End of the World" was weak in succession!
"Wait a minute, Wu Sheng is holding an international transoceanic conference call. I will notify you later." The assistant said sternly.

Zhou Xingxing's ass was like a hot pot, and he sneaked a peek into the office from time to time.

I don't know why Wu Xiaozu called him here.

……

Wu Xiaozu stood with his back facing each other, holding a landline in his hand and making a transoceanic call with the handset.The light in front of the window was blocked, but it did not prevent a pair of big blurred eyes from staring at him behind him.

Why blurred?

Because of high myopia!

Sitting on a chair, with one arm at the side and one hand propping his chin, like a flower that has not yet bloomed, it is quietly revealing its fragrance. Zhou Huimin, 22 years old, is a rotten cat. His face is full of collagen and his eyes are clear. And euphemistically, under the bridge of the nose are bright red lips.

Dressing has a little fresh temperament of the Mori style in the future. This kind of pure and fresh girly feeling without fireworks and worldliness is difficult to appear in actresses in later generations.

In the past few days, she just wanted to stick behind Wu Xiaozu, and she didn't want to separate for a moment...

"How about film editing and post-production?"

"Harvey over there..."

Wu Xiaozu patiently talked on the phone with Zhang Jiazhen of the North American branch.

Although Wu Xiaozu often talked with Soderbergh on the phone during the filming of this drama, caring about the process.But filming is a very subjective matter, and as a producer, he has no way to fully control the progress and presentation effect.

Harvey and Zhang Jiazhen both called him.

In the words of Harvey Weinstein, an old driver: God, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" sucks!

Wu Xiaozu believed in Harvey's judgment.

Zhang Jiazhen himself also vaguely mentioned that the film was "not satisfactory", mainly because the filming of the story seemed chaotic and had a dazzling feeling.

Although this answer was bad, it didn't surprise Wu Xiaozu too much.

He could imagine the hands and feet of Soderbergh, who was directing a movie for the first time.Even for him, with previous life experience, filming "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" was also stumbling.Not to mention the rookie Soderbergh!

Isn't Wang Jiawei's "Carmen in Mong Kok" still the same "power left behind"?Otherwise, there would be no "Days of Being Wild"!

Just to mention a little bit, after Xiang Sheng and the others withdrew, the show continued again and again... During post-production reshoots and production, the ticket skipped from the May file to the summer vacation.

"Well, I will find time to fly back to Los Angeles in a few days, and then we will meet." Wu Xiaozu hung up the phone and ended the transoceanic movie.

Of course I will go back after a while~
My little aunt peach is about to unload, ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ!
My own seeds, the land for my own use, the melons are ripe, and the four-legged gold swallowing beast is about to appear!
Thinking of this, Wu Xiaozu half turned around, showing a smile.

He smiled at me!
Zhou Huimin held his chin in a nympho, the more he watched, the more fascinated~
Ahem~ Wu Xiaozu belongs to the handsome scum among scumbags. If the stomach and teeth are not good, you can also rely on his appearance to eat soft food...

Glancing at Zhou Huimin, he squeezed the other's collagen, "Want to eat?"

"I called in advance to book a French restaurant in Central~" Zhou Huimin was gentle and light, "I want to go back and change, I will let you know later?"

"it is good."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and gave the other party a wet French kiss, "When you go out, call Xingzi in for me."

Zhou Huimin got tired of this for a while, then straightened his clothes, and went out blushing.

As soon as she came out, Zhou Xingxing quickly stood up.

"Ah Xing, brother Zu called you in." Zhou Huimin said softly.

"Okay, okay..." Zhou Xingxing stared straight, feeling like he couldn't control his eyes.

The other party brushed her hair, showed a courteous smile while keeping her distance from others, wiped herself and left.

Zhou Xingxing was embarrassed.

"Mr. Zhou?" the assistant urged.

"Oh oh oh."

Zhou Xingxing stood in front of the door, took a deep breath, put on a professional smirk, opened the door and walked in.

"Hey? Ah Xing sit down~ You're welcome..."

Before Zhou Xingxing could react, he saw Wu Xiaozu being very friendly and enthusiastic, taking the initiative to embrace him and beckoning him to sit down. While washing the teacup, he said with a caring expression: "Is it hard to run road shows lately? It seems that you have lost a lot of weight than before. I used to see you and Gu Zai go to Longcheng Ice Room to eat, but recently Gu Zai is still common, but you are rarely seen.

But be busy.

This is also an upswing in your career.But you still have to pay attention to your body and combine work and rest... By the way, how is Miss Baoer?I heard from Fei Cheng that a few days ago, he was looking for Sister Baoer to help frame the painting?
I have the opportunity to spend more time with my mother.

It's really not easy to be alone, to bring up the three of you siblings with a handful of shit and piss. "

Wu Xiaozu poured the teacup and handed it to Zhou Xingxing. He was as earnest and kind as an elder, with sincere care in his words.

Zhou Xingxing took the teacup with a hot face, took a sip, and sweat broke out on his forehead instantly.

"Grandfather, I..."

"Anything on your mind?"

Wu Xiaozu's eyes were full of affection, and he stretched out his hand to straighten the other party's bow tie, "Hey, he is a decent person now. You must know how to be filial to your mother. If you need my help, you must not be polite."

"I……"

Zhou Xingxing lowered his head in shame and embarrassment, and said submissively: "I'm sorry, Brother Zu, I shouldn't have taken the outside job without permission."

"?"

Wu Xiaozu looked astonished, he laughed heartily, and patted Zhou Xingxing's shoulder.

"What am I doing.

I don't blame you for this... It's because the company and I don't care enough about you.Besides, I never ruled that you can't take outside jobs, right?
However, since you brought this up..."

Wu Xiaozu pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:
"In this way, in the future, Xingxing will be in charge of your agency appointment, and will specially arrange an agent for you. We will have full authority to let the agent arrange for you the work matters such as accepting plays, accepting endorsements, and commercial performances.

Of course, you can continue to pick up jobs yourself, but there is one thing~ these jobs must go through a broker.To suit you... you can't accept all kinds of messy contracts, right?
As an actor, you have to have a sense of self-protection.At the same time, you can't always put your mind on these things.You have to know what your real roots are, otherwise, wouldn’t it be like buying a tree for a pearl?What do you say? "

"Thank you, Brother Zu!" Zhou Xingxing looked grateful, and then said: "This time the box office..."

"What's the matter? The box office of "A Manga Going to the End of the World" is not bad?" Wu Xiaozu helped him pour tea, and taught him sincerely: "You can't treat every movie as "The Saint of Gamblers".

It is normal for an actor to have gains and losses, but don't affect yourself too much.The "A Lang's Story" is really good.You can keep your grades, which is already good!
How about winning it back next time?
Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged.

I heard that Sir Jiang has arranged a new play for you? "

"In terms of movies, Sir Jiang arranged for me and Li Lianjie to play "The End of the Dragon" together, and there is also a movie that director Wang Jing cooperated with our company." Zhou Xingxing answered truthfully.

The former is to increase Li Lianjie's reputation. After "Dragon Inn", Xiao Lizi's popularity in Hong Kong Island has also surged. With Zhou Xingxing participating, this movie will not lose attention.

The latter one is a movie with Xiang Sheng, which can be regarded as repaying the other party's favor for quitting "Days of Being Wild"!Of course, the other party also invested in "Seven Sins".

In short, no matter whether Xiang Sheng made money or not, Wu Xiaozu definitely won't lose money!

Although Wang Jing has no taboos and the film has no thought and depth, but as he said: he can make money for the boss!

that's enough!
Now he and Gao Zhisen are considered to be the best in commercial films.

No matter what production, you can not lose money!

This is already awesome!
On this point, Wu Xiaozu still admires Wang Rixiang very much!
Wang Jing also figured out the essence of the Hong Kong film industry, and even saw clearly the so-called prosperity of Hong Kong films.

This is very similar to Wu Xiaozu.

It's just that Wu Xiaozu understands the value of "fame" in the future!
Unlike Li Xiuzhen, Wu Xiaozu didn't really squeeze the value of Zhou Xingxing!
The value of Zhou Xingxing can be fully reflected in the box office and profits.There is no need to rely on dead bucks to squeeze the remuneration to achieve~
It is necessary to control the remuneration, but it cannot be static!
In the next period of time, the remuneration of Hong Kong films will explode!This is no joke!

If it really grows to a salary of tens of millions, Wu Xiaozu will not hold it back, at worst, let it go!
Depending on the domestic and foreign markets of Hong Kong films, it is really hard to recoup the tens of millions of film remunerations!
This is actually one of the small reasons why Hong Kong stars went to the United States.

The salary increase at this time is not weaker than the exaggerated salary of later Chinese-language movies.Looking at the salary, you have to look at his ability to carry the box office and the overall box office level.The future generations are really... a mess of chicken feathers!
Who are you not checking?
The salary in North America is also high, but relatively healthier and more reasonable!
Even if the Hong Kong film did not die suddenly, these top superstars would go to the United States due to the situation of the Hong Kong film.

Neither the film nor the market can support their salaries!
……

"Two-week competition for the top, Zhou Runfa overwhelms Zhou Xingxing! "-"Sing Tao Daily".

"A Lang's Story" had a box office of 1400 million in the first week, surpassing "A Manga Going to the End of the World" and won the box office champion in the first week! "——"Oriental Daily".

"Du Qifeng shouted to Zhou Xingxing: Young people should not be too arrogant!Zhou Xingxing retorted: If you are not arrogant, are you young? "-"Daily Daily".

In the market, "A Lang's Story" exploded with strong stamina, and the attendance rate went against the trend.

This movie is top-notch in terms of plot, characters, and music. It is actually not surprising to have such achievements.

On the contrary, the movie "A Manga Going to the End of the World", although it has improved a lot compared to the previous life, is itself a movie of "making money while it's hot".The fast production cycle and hasty shooting speed have already determined his upper limit!
For this situation, it is not difficult to understand!

Of course, the situation of the two films' "fighting" contest is still being promoted.It's just that things are turning.

It was Du Qifeng who bombarded in the newspapers before, but this time it was the turn of the crew of "A Comic Going to the End of the World" to start "touching porcelain".

All kinds of tying each other up to get hot!

Today Zhou Xingxing shouted, tomorrow Liu Zhenwei made nonsense, and then Jiang Zhiqiang jumped out and led the 1.8-meter-old aunt Liang around the street all day, chasing the paparazzi for interviews, and the cooperation with the paparazzi was perfect!
Jiang Ershao has won the essence of Wu Xiaozu on the road of "touching porcelain marketing". Compared with Du Qifeng and his group who became monks halfway through, he does not know how many times more professional!
It made Zhou Runfa, who was filming a movie, completely confused~ Somehow, rumors spread that he had robbed Jiang Zhiqiang's girlfriend... Sister-in-law Fa is always with the team to take care of him!
Also steal a girlfriend!

That night I called Jiang Zhiqiang and laughed and scolded: You might as well say that I have an affair with Liang Jiahui!
When the second young master heard it, he took it for granted.

Arranged for the two of them the next day!
"Zhou Runfa's new drama breaks Liang Jiahui, and Mrs. Fa and Mrs. Hui rush to put out the fire! "

As soon as the news came out...

Jiang Jiahua almost scolded Jiang Zhiqiang, a hobbit, like a bloody sprinkler!

When you say Zhou Runfa, you say Zhou Runfa, and what do you do with Liang Jiahui?

The second young master listened again, deeply convinced!
The next day, another appointment was made with Fa Ge!

"Zhou Run's haggard hair is pitiful, suspected of falling in love with Zhang Aijia! "

That night, Fa Sao called.

Er Shao shut down.

Day two.

"Jiang Zhiqiang shouted Zhou Runfa, why do brothers kill each other?" "

The whole report is like a serial drama. In short, the spirit of controlling Pengci is always in place, constantly attracting the attention of the public.

The citizens are also all gossip souls soaring, regardless of whether it is true or not, they all read it as an after-dinner story, which naturally stimulates the box office of both parties!
At this time, "Film Biweekly", "Ming Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Daily Daily" and several other media suddenly announced the shortlist for the Academy Awards!
Among them, "God of Gamblers", "Rouge Buckle", "Seven Little Fortunes", "The Last Eunuch in China", "Carmen in Mong Kok" and other films have been shortlisted
The most eye-catching one is "God of Gamblers"!
Not because it has so many shortlisted projects!

Quite the contrary, it has a smaller waist than many expected!Far from the shock of the Golden Horse Awards!

"God of Gamblers" was shortlisted for six awards: Best Soundtrack, Best Movie, Best Movie Song, Best Actor, Best Editing, and Best Action!
Wu Xiaozu entered and was not selected for the "Best Director"!
On the contrary, Wu Xiaozu's "apprentice" Wang Jiawei entered the best director's option with "Carmen in Mong Kok"!

This really caused a storm in the circle! !

Many people find it a bit unbelievable! !

The media was in an uproar, and the fans were stunned!
In fact, Wu Xiaozu had already made preparations, and even proposed it on his own initiative!
The main reason is that he is the organizer of this year's Academy Awards, and it is really inappropriate for him to be running for a personal award.

So I simply didn't report for the selection of the best director!
Anyway, his current status doesn't really need this decoration!
Winner of two consecutive Golden Statue Awards and two Golden Horse Awards, in the field of Hong Kong films, there is no shortage of divinity!
Quite the contrary!

In terms of the composition of the judges this time, "God of Gamblers" actually does not have an advantage, even if it has its own Yanma in it~ But Ajani is still very insightful in art, and so are the rest.

This time, he really may not be able to win the award.After all, after the reorganization, the Academy Awards will pay more attention to literature and art.Although there are huge innovations in "God of Gamblers", the commercial atmosphere is too strong!

Might not be to the taste of the judges!

It is more appropriate not to participate than to participate!Not participating in the selection of the best director is actually in his favor!
The outside world doesn't know!

So in an instant, many people began to fight for Director Wu!
This is what Gouzi Wu is happy to see...
