Chapter 762 Invitation to the Knight Medal and surrounding models

Chapter 762 Invitation to the Knight Medal and surrounding models
The tide receded gradually, exposing wet gravel and messy shells.His hands rested on the sand, and he sank into it, leaving unclear palm prints, knee prints, and footprints.

With a cigar in his hand, Wu Xiaozu was gasping for breath, naked and lazily lying on his back towards the beach, his hormones were scorched by the sun, Zizi was glowing with oil, his muscles were clearly defined, and the waistline of a male dog around his waist became more and more obvious.

Wherever you look behind the sunglasses, you can see the graceful silhouette of a perfect peach.Monica Bellucci's whole body was full of fine water droplets, which were just right on the T trousers on the waist, exuding temptation all over her body.

On the beach, a man is lying on his back, with a half cigar in his mouth, a woman in front of him is packing her clothes, a bottle of champagne and two crystal glasses are rolling beside her, the black and silver Leica camera is covered with gravel, and the picture on the easel The drawing board is blown by the sea breeze and keeps turning the pages... Each painting is a new posture, a thick stack...

The movie script—it was the sketch for Pulp Fiction.

The frame-by-frame comics show close-ups of the camera.When Wu Xiaozu was shooting movies, he used to draw out the shot manuscripts, and show these shots to the photographer in a flat hand-painted way.

The shot script is the most intuitive manifestation of the director's shooting intention.Many directors' shot scripts themselves reflect the overall style of his film and its own artistic style.

Zhang Yimou's storyboard manuscript is unconventional, and the whole is just like a comic strip, very standardized.

Hitchcock paid special attention to space and architecture.

Tsui Hark's manuscript is a typical comic style, very unconstrained style.

The most amazing thing is naturally the manuscripts of Zhou Xingxing and Jiang Wen... Most people can't even understand it, let alone read it.

Director Wu's storyboard pays great attention to the shadow structure, and it is also very vivid overall.

In addition, Wu Xiaozu is also sorting out the storyboard scripts of many previous films, and the company's screenwriter and creation department and art artists help to complete the missing parts.

Because some time ago, the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts contacted him, wanting to use his movie storyboard manuscript as a textbook.

Director Wu thought about it, and prepared to sort it out for Searchlight Media to publish, including summarizing and summarizing some of his film concepts and techniques, as a contribution to Chinese-language films.

Every director has his or her own creative highs and lows.

After filming "Seven Sins", Wu Xiaozu felt that he had fallen into a creative bottleneck.

click!
Wu Xiaozu held half a cigar in his mouth, picked up the camera and pointed at Monica Bellucci to shoot. The static Italian ocean horse has a special glamorous charm. She has a typical ascetic and glamorous face.

In the past few days, dozens of rolls of 135 film have been used, each film has 36 shots, and at least thousands of photos have been taken.Most people can't afford this cost, let alone the subsequent photo development.

Monica herself was also used to his fiddling, and she felt a sense of relief.

various poses...

for art.

Wu Xiaozu felt that after a hundred years, he could hold a personal art exhibition.He freezes and took countless beautiful pictures - art is interlinked, and artists can also be interlinked.

"Someone is here." Monica put on a gauze skirt and offered to help Director Wu put on his swimming trunks.

The person who came was Zhang Jiazhen.

During this time, Zhang Jiazhen is also helping "City of Sadness" discuss overseas distribution.

MK2 finally took out 180 million US dollars to get the copyright of several big markets in France, Italy and Germany.The prices in other small countries vary. The cheapest ones may be sold for 1 to 2 US dollars. Of course, there are also orders for 10 or tens of thousands of dollars.

All of them add up to more than 230 million dollars.

The investment in this film is only 20 US dollars, that is to say, the movie has not been screened yet, but Europe has already reaped 200 million US dollars in profits. Although some publicity and public relations costs have to be excluded, the profit of 150 million US dollars is not a problem. .Converted into Hong Kong dollars, the net harvest is 1170 million Hong Kong dollars. The Asian market has not yet exerted its strength, and this literary film has already made a lot of money.

As for North America... Neither Harvey nor Wu Xiaozu intends to tinker with it. There will be no market for such a movie in North America.Of course, it will be launched in the video market.

Today, the two companies Woodpecker and Windmill have become well-known video tape producers and distributors in Europe and Europe.The person in charge also often goes to major film festivals to purchase low-cost films for distribution.

It cannot be compared with the big distribution channels such as Polygram, but it is definitely unique in terms of adults, not losing to Dongying and San Fernando.At the same time, it has its own market weight in art films, cult films, B-grade films, and underground low-budget films.The profit is not high, but the victory lies in the steady flow of water.

In the past two years, with the financial support of E7 Culture, it has also begun to enter and exit various film trading markets.

"Azu—"

Zhang Jiazhen held a bucket of cold beer, threw a bottle to the other party, looked at the private beach and the private ocean horse, and smiled.

"Brother Zhen, the distribution channel in Italy has been negotiated?" Wu Xiaozu took a sip of cold beer.

With the help of Giuseppe Tornadore, a local Italian filmmaker, they also contacted film companies and distribution companies in Italy.The other party served as the chairman of an Italian film company and has a close relationship with the media industry.

With the help of him and Marco Muller, [-] also tried to build distribution channels here.

"The progress is going well. However, Italy and Portugal are not very enthusiastic about Hong Kong films. After all, there are very few Chinese in Italy. The main distribution markets for Chinese films are France, the Netherlands, Germany and other countries." Zhang Jiazhen answered truthfully. .

Wu Xiaozu also knew what he said.

"We are also preparing for the future."

Now that he has decided to enter independent films, Wu Xiaozu must have his own arrangements.If it was all handed over to Hollywood...he would probably be killed by Harvey.In the future, Harvey will be regarded as one of the largest buyers of European films in North America. Wu Xiaozu also hopes to become the largest producer of European films in Asia and at the same time be able to share the dividends of Asian films in Europe.

Eat the plaintiff and eat the defendant.

At the same time, Harvey's weight may be divided.

Of course, he does not have Harvey's unique conditions in North America, so it will definitely be more difficult to do.

How will you know if you don't try?

When humans think, God laughs.

In this case, it is better to start with a laugh!
"By the way, there's news from France. I hope you can accept the Knight Medal next week." Zhang Jiazhen glanced at Wu Xiaozu's private big horse.

There are many kinds of knighthoods, the most common ones are the French Order of Letters and Arts, the French Order of Education, the French Order of the Legion of Honor, and the French National Order of Merit. The first two are at the ministerial level, and the latter two are at the national level.

Wu Xiaozu was awarded the French Order of Letters and Arts at the ministerial level.Next year, Uncle Long will get the same.This year, Uncle Long is also very beautiful. Xiaozu Wu won the Order of France, and Uncle Long also won the Order of the British Empire. Uh... MBE, like Xiaozu Wu's Order of Knight, is the lowest rank.But it's also truly remarkable.

For the profession of star, it really improves the reflection of social status.

Monica Bellucci was taken aback.

Looking eagerly at Wu Xiaozu who was lying there, his cold face was a little moved.In any case, to be awarded the French Order of Letters and Arts is also very remarkable!

"By the way, France sent us news through woodpeckers. They seem to have a film company that wants to invite you to direct a movie." Zhang Jiazhen brought another news, which caught Wu Xiaozu a little by surprise.

This is the first time that a European film company has invited him to direct a film, and Harvey certainly doesn't count.

"which company??"

"French A2 film company. "Rodin's Lover", "Ballroom", "Oasis Manon", "Love in the Mountain", Godard's "The Passion", "The Name of Carmen" are all produced by this company or co-produced .” Zhang Jiazhen took the initiative to introduce.

The French A2 film company is well-known in Europe. Although it is not as good as Gaumont in France, its strength should not be underestimated.

Wu Xiaozu was a little flattered by their invitation.

Director Wu has gone abroad based on his strength? ? ?
"Who notified us?" Wu Xiaozu was still a little confused.

"The person in charge of the French company said that Ms. Isabelle Adjani made the phone call in person. He wanted to contact you, but the phone didn't work." Zhang Jiazhen answered seriously.

cough cough~
Wu Xiaozu blushed, and walked around, not relying on his strength... Wait, he glanced at Monica Bellucci who was quietly sitting beside him.

This can be regarded as relying on strength.

So, a man must have strength... Buddy can help you recommend it!
Monica Bellucci doesn't know.

She has a feeling of shock at this moment.

She also knows Isabel Adjani's name!At this moment, she felt that she could learn more about this man's strengths.

"Do you know what movie it is?"

"I haven't mentioned the specific drama appointment, but I think we can talk about it when we go to France this time." Zhang Jiazhen took the initiative: "It just so happens that Woodpecker Company and Ah Cheng are interested in developing live-action dao mo and peripheral products... At the same time, we hope we can Got the remake rights of many blockbuster films..."

"Cough cough cough..." Wu Xiaozu almost choked on a mouthful of cold beer.

What the hell is Lao Tzu engaged in the cultural industry, and what the hell is a real person? ? ? ?
Wu Xiaozu has the heart to open the head of the big-breasted brother to have a look!What on earth is he thinking...

This is how to become a comprehensive tycoon? ? ?

Nikkatsu, woodpecker, windmill...

Wu Xiaozu felt that he couldn't keep up with his big-breasted brother.

Convex (fuck dish f*ck)!

However, I have to say that his vision is indeed very unique, and the related industries are still a blank market, especially in Asia.If he does develop it, it is foreseeable...

The private company of later generations is such a company, the leader in the industry. In 2007, this company officially ranked 91st among the top 930 companies in the world, with total assets of US$[-] billion...

Nima, the market value is higher than that of Hollywood companies.

Needless to say, he was a little moved.

Fat Cheng, his eyes are too vicious!
 PS: I guessed that "Parasite" would win the best foreign language film or other awards, but I really didn't expect to win four... It was beyond my expectation.I watched it last year when it was awarded in Cannes, and I thought it was good, but 1VS4 still made me a little unbelievable.

  Well, I am Lemon Extract!

  It can only be said that the PR company is really awesome!After the Oscars expand by 1 people, it will be able to send the best director + best picture on a foreign language film.

  However, the funniest one is A4... I laughed so hard.When A4 signed up for the competition, I laughed so hard...the result was even more hilarious.Watching the awards ceremony is simply a joke for me.
