My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 803 The Rolling Stone Flying Saucer in the Music Circle and the Casting of the New Play

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

Liang Chaowei sat on the chair, with his hands on his lap obediently.Behind him, a jade hand was gently placed on his shoulder.

He covered the jade hands on his shoulders, with a melancholy smile on his face, and turned to look at Liu Jialing, "Why don't I talk to Wu Sheng, push this drama away, and concentrate on being with you? I'm afraid I'll start filming , without time to accompany you, you will be bored..."

"Fool, you have delayed for more than half a year because of me. You have been with me all the time after you finished "Seven Sins". Really think that I don't know that you have pushed back so many film appointments? I know you are afraid that I will be bored, afraid of me Not happy, but I'm really not as fragile as you think..."

Ms. Liu put her arms around each other's head, her smile was full of confidence, and she was radiant, "I really don't want everyone to sympathize with me, even though, at that moment, my world became black and white, but with you, with you, my Life has gradually returned to color...

A few days ago, Sir Wu called on purpose, and he said very well: If you want to conquer the anxiety in your life, then live in your crotch, in every breath^^
I figured it out.

It can't go on like this forever.The more people look down on me, the more I want to live out my wonderful self.

I also don't want my friends to worry about me.I don't even want you to worry about me.Believe me, I can really..." The lines of the palm stroked the stubble on Liang Chaowei's face, with a strong face and shining eyes.

"I forgot to tell you, I also accepted Sir Wu's invitation to participate in the movie "Suit Thug"."

Liu Jialing blinked narrowly, and stretched out her hand to pick Liang Chaowei's chin, "At the same time, I also received drama appointments for "Lucky Stars in the Rivers and Lakes" and "The Lying Woman". Pretty boy, I'm so busy——"

Liang Chaowei stared at her with melancholy eyes, and smiled knowingly.

Since this turmoil, both of them have understood that the other is their other half.

"come on."

Liang Chaowei pursed his lips soothingly, showing a melancholy smile, "I believe in you!"

Liu Jialing squeezed each other's hand, looked at each other, everything was silent.

Creak—the door was pushed open.

"Hey, brother, should I go out first?"

Wearing a white sweatshirt and carrying a satchel, Mr. Liu, a dark-skinned grocery shopping citizen, walked in with a dull expression.

Being knocked over by others, Liang Chaowei smiled shyly, while Liu Jialing greeted with a smile.

"Wu sir asked you to come here?"

"Yeah, he asked me what I was doing."

Liu Qingyun said dumbly: "I said I was rushing to film the drama "Mother, Mother, Son-in-Law", and he asked me if I had a schedule, and I said yes without even thinking about it!"

"Then it seems that the two of you should receive a play."

Liu Jialing sized up the obedient Liang Chaowei, then looked at the dull Liu Qingyun, a little puzzled, "Could it be that Sir Wu is going to make a new movie?"

Obedient boy glanced at the black-faced god, and the two looked at each other, one squeezed a smile, the other an awkward smile.

Liang Chaowei and Liu Qingyun must be acquaintances, after all, they are both from Wireless background, and they acted together in "The Grand Canal of Sui and Tang Dynasties".Liang Chaowei played the bearded man in it, and Liu Qingyun played Li Shimin... ┓(`)┏, among other things, this must be the worst time Li Shimin was 'hacked'. Really, you will have a kind of seeing when you go to see Liu Qingyun's Li Shimin The feeling of Wang Baobao's version of Nezha.

At the same time, they also acted together in "Senior Brother Xin Zha 2", but at that time...the status was very different.

Although they have worked together before, the two are not very familiar with each other.The main reason is that Liu Qingyun's identity is really not enough for the other party.Even Liu Qingyun's development is not as good as that of his good friend 'cross-eyed' Wu Zhenyu.

The latter is very popular because of the 'Pheasant'... Back to TVB filming, he has already become a celebrity in TV dramas.He has been lukewarm, basically supporting other people, three or four times.

Of course, his development in the film industry in the past two years has been relatively smooth, but... there is no one who can show his hands and make people remember him.The most impressive thing may still be the performance in "The Birth of a Prefix", but... the most talked about in that play is actually the expression technique and camera language.

So, that's it.

Even when Liang Chaowei saw Liu Qingyun appearing here, he felt a little depressed.

He felt that it was definitely not Wu Xiaozu who directed it himself.

A slight disappointment is certainly true.

What did he do in these two consecutive films?A "Days of Being Wild", a "Seven Sins"... No matter how much money the previous one was, his performance has indeed received praise from film critics.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

"Thank you." The black-faced god nodded, and Liang Chaowei nodded with a smile.

In the conference room on the second floor of [-] Locomotive Film Production Company, two people who were not very good at talking stared dryly.

After a while

Liang Chaowei played with his fingers, while Liu Qingyun looked down at his feet in a daze.

A gust of wind blows...

Still silent.

……

The third floor of the company, pull film room.

Wu Xiaozu, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Yu Weiguo sat inside and watched the re-dubbed "City of Sadness".

"Boss, the promotion fee for this movie is expected to be 300 million. After all, it won the Venice Golden Lion Award. So the company wants to make it the main movie of this stage." Yu Weiguo said.

"Let's look at the market effect first. This kind of historical film has always been bad in the Hong Kong Island market. You should mainly pay attention to the Wanwan market together with Wanwan China Film." Wu Xiaozu picked up his glass and took a sip of wine.

He also doesn't remember the box office performance of this movie on Hong Kong Island.

However, according to data and experience, such delicate and lengthy dramas are indeed not very popular on Hong Kong Island.Extremely crazy and exaggerated works are the favorite works of the people of Hong Kong Island.

"Okay, let me get someone's attention." Yu Weiguo acquiesced.

"I heard that the investment in "Thug in a Suit" exceeded 2000 million?" Wu Xiaozu turned to look at Jiang Ershao.

After all, Jiang Zhiqiang is in charge of the business of [-] Locomotive Film Production Company.

"That's right, the total investment actually exceeded 2500 million Hong Kong dollars. However, we conducted financing. The company paid 500 million out of its own pocket.

In fact, the film has already recovered its cost before it was released. In terms of advertising sponsorship and placement, Mercedes-Benz, Macau Entertainment, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Accord, I·T Clothing, Dragon City Catering, Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, Dickson Creation, Cash Drawer Karaoke...etc have big sponsorship fees.

It all adds up to more than 1200 million. At the same time, many filmmakers in other cities have seen our lineup, and they have already waved their checks to snap up. "

Jiang Zhiqiang explained: "The risk is basically equal to no."

That's right.

At this time, [-]'s movies are selling so easily.

After Wu Xiaozu pioneered selling film flowers, it has now become the norm in Hong Kong films.

In the later generations, there was a period of small fresh meat running rampant in the mainland, and the box office calculated by the calculator is actually nothing more than repeating the mistakes of Hong Kong films at this time.Therefore, when the bubble of Xiaoxianrou burst, it was expected.

Wu Xiaozu is planning to launch a guaranteed release in a year or two, disrupting the market!

Guaranteed release is the last oil-extracting tool left by Wu Xiaozu to Hong Kong films. It is estimated that Hong Kong films will really decline when it appears...

This thing simply destroys content creation.

If you think about it, creators used to spend money afterwards, even if they were selling movies, at least they had to bear certain risks.But with a guaranteed release... that's instant money.Then the creators will feel that they have less points in every link...

You said, who will pay the bill in the end?
These days, the oil yield rate of soybeans is about 20%, and the oil yield rate of peanuts is about 40%. Only leeks have the lowest oil yield rate of 100%, and after one crop is cut, there will be another crop.

At that time, we must let the entertainment circle learn what is called leek self-cultivation.

Of course, this weapon cannot be thrown around.

Now he still has [-] million back roads that have not been laid out yet.

"Thugs in Suits" is a key project of the company. Liu Weiying serves as the chief director of the film. At the same time, Lin Chaochen, Yuan Kui and Luo Lichen co-direct. The filming locations of the whole film include Seoul, Omen and Tokyo.

The starring lineup includes Luo Dong, Wang Zuzhen, Wu Zhenyu, Zhen Zhidan, Li Ming, Zhou Huimin, Li Licheng, Liu Jialing...

Because it is a derivative drama of "God of Gamblers", it has a lot of popularity.In addition to Zhou Runfa and Liang Jiahui, basically the original cast of "God of Gamblers" starred.The script structure borrows from the setting of the later "Very Human Trafficker".

In short, it is fighting all the way, saving all the way... This drama is well shot, and it is very likely to become Luo Dong's most representative action series after the "Young and Dangerous" series.After all, the fifth "Young and Dangerous" has been handed over to Zheng Yijian to play.

In addition, 200 Locomotive also invited Tsui Hark to personally direct the martial arts movie "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" with a salary of 1 million yuan.While producing "Gambler", Liu Zhenwei is also preparing for two dramas "Gambler 2" and "Play Back To School".

Qiu Litao filmed Wu Zhenyu's version of "The Eight Immortals Hotel" and producer Zheng Weiwen's "Yin Yang Road 1" in Omen.In addition, the company has a number of films planned in preparation.This time, a large number of new directors are also prepared.

Ye Weixin, Ye Weimin, Lin Chaochen, Luo Lichen and others will gradually come to the fore.The emergence of the three subsidiaries has also given more opportunities for newcomers.

"Yeah. I'm going to shoot a new movie soon, and the filming location will be in Omen. I've sent You Naihai and Mai Zhaohui to scout the location. It's expected that this movie will be filmed soon..."

Wu Xiaozu scratched his head, and said helplessly: "When I filmed "God of Gamblers", I left buttons, and the scripts are all ready-made...I have perfected it in the past two days. If it goes well...it will take about ten days..."

"Didn't you make a plan to go to the north?" Jiang Zhiqiang wondered.

"Let's see when the time comes, the things over there must not be delayed..." Wu Xiaozu thought for a while, "If it doesn't work, let someone else shoot. I'll be the producer. You can go back and communicate with Mecca. He still picked me up yesterday... ..."

"OK." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, not paying much attention.

Apparently, this play was also Wu Xiaozu's temporary idea, maybe it was to stabilize Mecca.

After all, Megga vomited blood in the pit of "Seven Sins".

Always restore the confidence of a good friend.

"Who do you want to direct for you?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked.

"You Naihai and Mai Zhaohui are both good. I will shoot first, and I will shoot everything I want, and it won't be too difficult for them. In terms of investment, you communicate with Mecca, and my plan is 200 million." Wu Xiaozu also There is no way, Bei Bian and Mr. Hu are in a hurry.

That's the only way Mecca can do it.

Anyway, this drama is actually not a big scene.

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't think there was any problem either, a movie worth 200 million yuan, to be honest...wasn't worthy of Wu Xiaozu's status.

Even Jiang Zhiqiang didn't want him to shoot such a crude work.

But he's fine as a producer.

"You'd better go to the north as soon as possible, the release of "Dragon Inn" is no small matter." Jiang Zhiqiang reminded again worriedly.

At this moment, the assistant outside the door came in, walked to Wu Xiaozu, and whispered: "Chairman, there is a Miss Liu outside who said that he has an appointment with you..."

"Understood, let him go to my office first." Wu Xiaozu's face was calm.

Although he doesn't work here, the office is still reserved.

　Let's do an update today, the cervical spine is uncomfortable.
