My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 828 Filming Plan
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

In early November, Halloween schedule.

Xinbao Cinema in Mong Kok was full of voices.

Many fans of the "Chamber of Fear" series came to watch the movie dressed up as popular characters in the series.

'Jigsaw', 'Billy Doll', 'Sister Jaw Cracker', 'Pig Man' and various shapes of instruments of torture all appeared in front of the theater, among them were fans from Japan and the Bay Area who came across the ocean As well as other Southeast Asian fans, everyone is eagerly looking at some familiar actors who appeared in the first three films from time to time.

These people basically came here with a pilgrimage to attend the premiere of "Fear Chamber 4".

In the previous film, Lei Yuyang, who played the role of the third-generation jigsaw disciple "new head" Mark, and Ren Dahua, who played the doctor, were cheered by many fans when they appeared on the stage.

However, the most popular contestant is still the role played by Li Wanhua, the second-generation master sister of Jigsaw Disciple in the first three parts. She is also Wu Zhenyu's girlfriend now.

"The jigsaw lives forever!!"

"The spirit of the chainsaw is immortal, and the original sin of mankind is redeemed!"

"Please enjoy the cleft palate—"

The noisy voices of movie fans resounded around, and the main creators walked by one by one, causing screams.

"Wen Tsai, are you alright?"

Qiu Litao shook his long hair, waved high-profilely to the surrounding fans, and glanced at Zheng Weiwen beside him, who was the director of "Fear Room 4".

"I'm a little nervous. After all, it's part of a popular horror movie." Zheng Weiwen smiled wryly.

It's normal for him to be under a lot of pressure. With the release of the videotapes in Europe and the United States, the "Fear Cell" series was immediately welcomed by many horror fans.

"Don't worry, Wu Sheng has watched it himself and confirmed that this drama is a good drama, and the 'hair loss winch' and the choice of fate in this drama are very innovative.

The rhythm and atmosphere of the whole play are well created, and it has inherited the structure of the first three films, so there is no need to worry about the box office of this play.As Wu Sheng said, this movie has now become a horror movie that fans crave. As long as you keep the rhythm, someone will always pay for it... You will come to the fifth and sixth next year. "

Qiu Litao patted the other party's shoulder with a smile. Seeing the other party's ignorant and cute look, his long hair increased the frequency of shaking. From the other party's body, he seemed to see the old Own……

Among the second-generation disciples of Wu's disciples, he is the first to open up the third generation, right?

This should be called long hair, right?

"If you are nervous, go to the door to deliver gifts to fans. It will save you from being nervous all the time... By the way, you can listen to and collect suggestions from fans. Horror movies are like this... Brain hole and entrepreneurship are very important." Qiu Litao looked still Unable to let go, Zheng Weiwen reluctantly arranged work for the other party.

Qiu Litao could understand his psychology.

"Okay~" Zheng Weiwen nodded, thinking that this method is good.

After dismissing his apprentice, Qiu Litao happened to see people from the company coming to cheer him up, so he walked over to deal with it with the pace of disapproval.

Zheng Weiwen put on a work card and took a gift to help colleagues in the marketing department to do a 'questionnaire survey'.

Among the fans, there was a thin and short man with yellow hair, who looked a bit like a Chinese teenager, with smart squinting eyes and glanced around. . .Everything looked very fresh.

Especially when I saw the posters of the first three "Cell of Fear" series, I was very excited.

From time to time, I look enviously at the fans dressed up as characters in the movie.

"James, don't run around, I'm going to buy a bottle of water..."

A middle-aged woman spoke English and explained to the 'little yellow hair' who was running around.

"Okay, Mom."

James Wen replied perfunctorily with excitement, but his eyes were still fixed on the dolls held by many people, especially the 'Billy' doll riding a bicycle held by a man, his eyes gleamed directly.

"Little boy, do you like this? Now, here it is for you—"

Zheng Weiwen looked at the little yellow hair in front of him, staring at the doll in his hand tightly, and handed it over with a smile, "Kids also like to watch horror movies?? Oh, I forgot, this is a restricted-rated movie...you may not know ..."

"Really??? Thank you—"

James Wen subconsciously took the 'Billy' doll handed over by the other party, and hurriedly explained: "I have watched the video tape..."

"Really? It's rare to see children who like horror movies..." Zheng Weiwen smiled, and handed the survey card to the other party casually, "It's convenient for me..." Looking at the other party, he got stuck again.

Embarrassed.

Hiring a teenage kid for market research? ? ?
He knows how to do a fart investigation! ! !
Horror movies where he knows farts—

Zheng Weiwen waved his hand in a dispirited manner, "It's okay, I hope you will like the videotape after this drama is released." Then he turned and left without looking back.

James Wen looked at the 'Questionnaire' in his hand, and became interested. He opened the back and found the company's address, phone number and fax number.

There is an ad for 'Collecting Scripts' on it.

The little eyes blinked, and unconsciously shook off his protruding little yellow hair...

She squeezed the survey card with her hand, folded it carefully and put it in her schoolbag.

At this time, his mother just came over and led him into a taxi. They were going to fly back to Australia.

4's "Fear Room [-]" was released, the box office of the premiere was slightly lower than the previous three films, but compared to other horror films, it was still very impressive.

Although this series of filming has become a routine, it cannot stand to be loved by fans, even horror fans.This kind of low-cost horror film has a targeted audience, and it can basically pay back online.What's more, the offline profit effect of this movie has always been very high... It is very popular in the rental market.

This series is now a representative of Asian horror films, and is very popular among European and American horror film fans in the European and American video tape markets.

Of course, the sustainability of the box office is very weak, and it basically belongs to the category of fan-oriented movies, and modelization is inevitable.

On the contrary, "Young and Dangerous 5", which is also a fan-oriented movie, has brought many people's hearts and received praise from many people.The "New Generation of Young and Dangerous Boys" led by Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaozhen, two newcomers from the company, has also been loved by many "Young and Dangerous".

In this way, the "Young and Dangerous" series will naturally continue.

...

[-] Locomotive Film Production Company, the schedule is hung in the conference room.

"The movie "Gambling Tyrant" is preparing to reduce the screening rate, and it is estimated that it will be released in 3-5 days after the screening."

Sitting at the top, Jiang Zhiqiang looked around and said calmly:
"The "Gambler" project is our worst movie at the box office and word-of-mouth after "City of Sadness". Although it made money, the word-of-mouth is very bad. The word-of-mouth of the play may affect the performance of the upcoming "Gambler 2: Battle on the Bund".

The head office is also very dissatisfied with the performance of this drama, but fortunately the investment in publicity and distribution of this drama was cut in time..."

"The Gambling Tyrant" is a work that Liu Zhenwei started quickly.

Liu Zhenwei is talented and understands the market at this time, but sometimes he always has no attitude and habitually perfunctory.

They don't understand that the market is developing...Of course, in this era when bad movies can make money, some people also think that making movies really doesn't need hard work...

That's right, Liu Zhenwei really thought about it that way.I once thought that my understanding of the market was everything, so, if you look at the works of his later generations, one of them is better than the other.

"I will cooperate with the company to write a responsibility report..." Liu Zhenwei took responsibility with a gloomy expression.

Every time the company's drama is launched, besides the normal 'position salary', these people in charge also have corresponding 'business tips', which also ensures that everyone can make money.

Therefore, Liu Zhenwei, who is the producer and supervisor, has a lot of salary and box office dividends in this drama.

Of course, once the movie 'glitch', the person responsible also has some responsibility is true...

This also ensures the company's creative drive.

"We should be more cautious in cooperating with Zheng Yuling's next film, her market value needs to be re-confirmed, and at least the salary should be reduced." Jiang Zhiqiang made the final decision.

In this day and age, actor remuneration is actually a very vague concept.

Even the stars themselves don't know how much money they should get.

However, with the involvement of Stellar Entertainment, basically through advertisements, movies, commercial performances and related cooperation, it has helped the market to make a "pricing reference" standard that can be referred to.

Many independent studios agree with Stellar's pricing standards.

Of course, the market is too hot now, and premiums are common.As for whether to refer to it or not, it is up to you...

This is the same as the pricing of Xiaoxianrou in later generations~~~ There is no one-size-fits-all.

People from all departments of the company nodded slightly.

There is an unwritten rule within the [-] company, if the box office of the co-operated movie is not satisfactory or the reputation is poor, an internal evaluation will be made.Not to say not to use it... but to re-evaluate.

This mechanism has both advantages and disadvantages.

At the very least, Zhou Xingxing welcomes this mechanism very much!

"The company will launch new plays "Dark Flower" and "Eight Immortals Hotel" one after another. Of course, during the Christmas and New Year holidays, our main title will be Zhou Xingxing's "The Gambler 2: Battle on the Bund". Liu sir, what about you? I have to worry more about adding roadshows..."

"No problem." Liu Zhenwei also agreed.

He also needs this drama to open up the influence of "Gambler" on him.

Anyway, "The Gambler" is indeed the company's worst movie... Of course, "City of Sadness" can't be counted.That movie has now sold 4600 million in Wanwan, and Wanwan has already obtained the permission to extend the show... It is estimated that the box office of 7000-8000 million NT dollars should not be a big problem.

"A Xing's box office appeal is not a problem." The person next to him said.

"I think Ah Xing can be brought up to sign the contract with A. Stellar Entertainment has increased the artist contract. It is said that they are preparing to let Ah Xing endorse oolong tea drinks. The fee is seven figures."

"Ah Xing's A contract is indeed necessary."

The top executives of the company expressed their opinions one after another, and everyone actually did not object to Zhou Xingxing's high salary.

He represents performance, why can't he get it?

"Then this topic is settled, and I will ask someone to talk to Ah Xing later." Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, then turned to look at Cui Baozhu in front of him, "Sister Baozhu, come and communicate with everyone about our future next year and the next year." Let's arrange the film..."

The other party smiled and nodded.

"The Spring Festival file is a must for all film companies. This year, our "Gambler 2: Battle on the Bund" will open the Lunar New Year file. I am not worried about the box office. According to the company's investigation, the Spring Festival file on the first day of the new year, except for Xu In addition to the release of "Swordsman" by Grace, Zhang Guozhong of Yi Neng will also release "Fu Gui Bingtuan" at the same time. The lineup of this drama is also very strong.

The sequel "Three People's World" on Debao's "Three People's World" will also be vying for the Spring Festival stalls.

In addition, Yonggao's Huang Baiming made a high-profile call for To Qifeng to film his masterpiece "Auspicious Stars", and Golden Harvest also has "Children in Troubled Times", the same star lineup.

This year's Spring Festival photos are crowded and tragic in previous years, and it is not ruled out that the theaters will use western films to grab money.

Therefore, this year's Spring Festival stalls are the top priority for us. "

Cui Baozhu's analysis also made everyone frown. They didn't expect this year's Spring Festival to be so intense.

Although the previous years were also very tragic, the competition for the top works was not that big, basically one or two works competed for the top.

But this year...

Each is an all-star lineup, which is still being investigated, and the possibility of someone temporarily changing gears cannot be ruled out.

"For this reason, this year, the company is also preparing to respond with a family carnival movie. Director Li Licheng plans to shoot a family carnival celebrity New Year movie-"Happy Family". The star lineup of this movie includes Zhang Guoying, Zhou Xingxing, Liang Jiahui, Qiu Shu Zhen, Zhang Manyu, Wu Junru and others."

Cui Baozhu introduced again.

The lineup of this drama made everyone nod their heads slightly. It can be said that it is the greatest use of the company's internal resources.Each has box office appeal.For the Lunar New Year file, there is no more suitable theme than such a family carnival movie.

In fact, this drama is also the first drama for the big breasted brother to move to the Lunar New Year file.

The script was given to him by Wu Xiaozu... The whole story is basically the plot of the previous life.This kind of family carnival movie is basically difficult for big-breasted brothers.

In terms of family carnival movies, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen can be said to have always grasped the pulse of the market.

You have to admit that when all the stars are at their peak, they will automatically be able to keep the show... It is also because of the sweetness that Huang Baiming later made a fuss over and over again!
This time, Wu Xiaozu simply asked Fei Cheng to grab this subject to shoot.

At the same time, it can be regarded as the family carnival type of the development company.

Although Wu Xiaozu himself doesn't like this kind of movie... But it is undeniable that this type of movie is the real money-absorbing weapon for the Spring Festival.

"Besides, next year, [-] Locomotive will release the "Once Upon a Time" series, "Yin Yang Road" series, "Slaying the Wolf" series, "Da Ming Jianghu" series, and "Play Back to School" series. As well as the continuation of the remake of the "Best Partner" series and the "Prison Storm" series, etc.

Popular IP films such as "God of Gamblers 2: Mysterious Meeting" and "Two Heroes 3" will continue to be released.

At the same time, Director Wu's North American film "Pulp Fiction" will also be launched in due course...

Next year will be a year for the company to take on a new look, and it will also be a year for us to weed out the old and bring forth the new.I hope everyone can work hard. "

Jiang Zhiqiang also added: "In addition, we will recruit more screenwriters internally to create scripts, and I myself have accepted Wu Sheng's advice to assist in the establishment of the Screenwriters Association...

I hope everyone can clearly understand the importance we attach to creators at [-]! "

In fact, apart from these serious projects.

Big Breasted Brother is expected to continue the "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing" series in the first half of next year.Ye Yuqing, Ye Zimei, and Guo Xiuyun respectively starred in three series, "Song Feng·Along the River During the Qingming Festival: The Sage Picking up Ashes", "Yuan Qinghua·Grassland Love Song: The Golden Family" and "Wild Boar Skin·Man Han Feast: The Legend of Da Yuer" were released one after another.

At the same time, in order to implement his own development plan for adult peripheral projects, Brother Big Breast also planned two urban Victoria's Secret series of movies to "bring goods".

They are "A Gentleman Under Boots" starring Tong Ling and "Letter Circle: One Master and Two Servants" starring Zheng Yanli...

As for whether anyone watches this type of movie... basically don't worry.After all, there are still many people who prefer slow-motion movies with one left hand and one right hand...

Li Licheng is not even worried about the box office of these films.These few plays are for sale!
Box office is no longer the main purpose.

He firmly believes that he will create a new miracle in the peripheral products for adults.

When Wu Xiaozu went to Beijing to film, Jiulong Jianye went to the mainland to reclaim land, I·T went to the mainland to build shopping malls and specialty stores, and other companies under his company to set up record and film companies, the big chest brother also established factories in other areas of Guangdong Province in obscurity .

Trying to make China's adult product level catch up with the world's top level with its own efforts.

His positioning for this company is: to save the world and make all mankind happy.

...

Here, Jiang Ershao is discussing the company meeting at the company, and under the arrangement of Wu Xiaozu, he also formally convenes screenwriters to establish the Hong Kong Island Screenwriters Association, and the entire [-] Group has begun to digest the wave of dividends after the acquisition of "New Art City".

After the absorption is completed, the entire company will inevitably take on a new look, and its strengths in all aspects will be fully improved.Strive to increase film output in the past few years and increase the layout of various ticket warehouses in Southeast Asia.

The purpose of this is naturally to use the hot money in the past few years to shoot his own movies.In another two or three years, the environment of Hong Kong films will not be as good as Wang Xiaoer's new year...

At the same time, the company has three internal plans, namely the 'Gulfstream TV Program', the 'Mainland Film and TV Private Program' and the 'Movie Vagabond Program'.

The former one is to increase the preparation of TV stations, and at the same time try to produce TV dramas and supply them to existing TV stations.The second is the next laying and layout of private film and television companies.The last one is that it is possible to invest and create films in Korea, Thailand, and Bay Bay to prepare for the decline of Hong Kong films in the future.

Plan ahead.

The decline of Hong Kong films is an inevitable trend. In order to maintain the overall operation of the company, in addition to going north and going to the United States, it is also necessary to stick to the Southeast Asian market.

This not only means a moat, but also an important breakthrough in the ideological field.

Although as a businessman, Wu Xiaozu can do some things more easily, but if he wants to expand his value, he must do something...

For Wu Xiaozu, he may not be good at doing business, but it may not be difficult to make money...

Of course, it may be true that there is no sense of accomplishment and social value.

With his status and wealth today, it might not be difficult to catch up with a wave of Internet boom... But those are empty promises, and at least they won't be of much substantial help for more than ten years.

On the contrary, his film culture industry and industrial industry may be more helpful to him.
Although selfish, it is precisely because of selfishness that Wu Xiaozu hopes to become bigger and stronger in the field he can influence, so that he may be able to live a more comfortable life.

Fame is, to him, something of a talisman.

Of course, he himself has his own insistence on content production, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to shoot the drama "Huaxia Women's Volleyball".

After all, there are many films that can be plagiarized or copied...

When Hong Kong Island Company was making big moves, Wu Xiaozu and his team had already flown to the imperial capital.

　Modified a bit.
