My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 900 If you don't get a big audience, pay me back my pension money?

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

"Good—"

When the Columbia staff asked about their evaluation of Wu Xiaozu, a director from a remote area in Asia, Qi Qi, the Coen brothers who have a place in the film industry in later generations, gave a fair evaluation.

Several Colombian employees nodded slightly. At the end of last year, Sony completed the acquisition of Columbia, and their business in Asia was also re-planned. Since the 90s, Hollywood has re-expanded its distribution channels in Asia.

They also began to consider these filmmakers on Hong Kong Island step by step.

Don't think Hollywood is all arrogant and ignorant --

One thing we need to have an objective understanding is that Hollywood has never been a single regional culture. It actually keeps attracting the best filmmakers in the world. Excellent directors from Britain, Italy, and Mexico are constantly going to Hollywood. .

It also has a huge structure.In this era, no regional market can be compared with North America.

Why Director Gao Li can continue to go out, in fact, this is absolutely directly related to their market environment, just like the environment that Hong Kong Island filmmakers in the 90s will face at this time.

In the 90s, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa, and Wu Yusen were not the only Hong Kong filmmakers who entered Hollywood... In fact, after the decline of Hong Kong films at that time, there were more than one or two people who left their own millions...

At that time, the entire Hong Kong Island was active, and part of it went northward. Take Chen Kexin, Wang Jing and others as examples.

The other part went to the United States for development.

This contributed to the 'progress' of Hollywood action movies around the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.It even created the classic "The Matrix" in film history.

The play itself is a cult film of the Wachowski sisters' hodgepodge, which combines existentialism, super-age network virtuality and oriental action philosophy.

It must be admitted that Hong Kong Island filmmakers brought a revolution in motion design to Hollywood.

It's a pity that they died under the waves in the end, or in other words, they finally became a member of Hollywood's industrialization and disappeared from everyone.

Therefore, the gradually growing mainland market in later generations determines that the mainland filmmakers in the new era do not have such a strong aggressiveness to please audiences in other regions, just like Ah San's Bollywood...they have always I think the magic capital is Little Mumbai.

Wu Xiaozu didn't know at this time that some Hollywood filmmakers were already 'considering' him.

Not to mention that the Coen Brothers watched their own "Dark Flower" and gave it a huge evaluation.I don't know how this will affect me.

Of course he has his own rhythm. If he goes to the United States, he will start from scratch. This is like Han Paopao changing maps...

Here, he is Xiaoye.

Over there, he's just John Woo.

He has to adapt to Hollywood again and compete with more people.The fact that his capital is there won't really change him fundamentally... There are a sea of ​​people who are richer than him and want to enter the industry... In the end, he was robbed by Hollywood and lost everything.

Returning to the Hong Kong Island film market itself, "Dark Flower" has a good reputation among film critics and professional filmmakers.

but--

The public's reputation is average, and the box office trend is very average!
""Dark Flower" is well received but not well received! Wu Xiaozu's new production is in controversy!" - "Oriental Daily".

"A world-class classic dark wind movie, must-see TOP10 Chinese-language movies of the year!" - "Film Biweekly".

"Cult film experiment, Wu's avant-garde style film!" - "Ming Pao".

"Fate: Life is mortal and lifeless! Another masterpiece of Wu's fatalism!" - "Watching Movies"

"The box office trend is weak, Wu Xiaozu is no longer magical?" - "Sing Tao Daily".

"Controversy among movie fans is half sea water and usually flames. "Dark Flower" has been caught in a huge word-of-mouth controversy!"

The film "Dark Flower" was just as Wu Xiaozu expected. Although it was well-known among film critics and some fans, it did not win the recognition of the market, and even suffered criticism from many people.This kind of movie that is not very friendly to the public fans really affects the box office.

In the final analysis, this is not a commercial film.

Fortunately, this movie did not really bear Wu Xiaozu's name, and it did not affect the stock price.From this point of view, for the two new directors, the box office of over [-] million seems to be pretty good.

but--

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the lingering Wu style in this movie.

Camera positions, lenses, lighting, and positioning all bear traces of Wu Xiaozu.

Therefore, many newspapers and film critics have also begun to firmly speculate that "Dark Flower" is a work in the name of a new director, but it implements Wu Xiaozu's overall thinking and style.

Just like "A Chinese Ghost Story" to Tsui Hark.

The same goes for this drama.

Film critics praised this film, but it didn't completely make the box office of this film look good-of course, the poor performance here is compared with Wu Xiaozu's own influence.

"Dark Flower" was released for a week, and the box office reached 930 million Hong Kong dollars.Comparing "A Happy Event" with 8 million in 2000 days, it is really embarrassing. . . . .

...

"boom!"

Mecca looked gloomy at Jiang Zhiqiang, who was indifferent in front of him, his eyes were burning, he slapped the table, and said loudly: "Sir Jiang, I strongly object to your indifference to the propaganda work of "Dark Flower"!!!"

"Where did this start??"

"Why don't you adopt my suggestions??? Now the box office of the whole movie, even 2000 million, is difficult! You are dereliction of duty, lazy!!" Mecca knocked on the table full of righteous indignation.

Li Jinwen secretly glanced at Jiang Zhiqiang who was cutting his nails, and then raised his head to ask Liu Weijun next to him.

The latter shook his head slightly.

She really thought that Mecca was the supervisor that Sir Wu put into the company~~~ It was so righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Mai sir, the company has its own promotional procedures. The film "Dark Flower" must be subject to the company's overall resource allocation. The investment in this film is very small, and it is a C-level investment work within the company. It is already very profitable if the box office can exceed [-] million If more resources are invested, the return ratio will decrease, which is not suitable..." Jiang Zhiqiang blew on his nails and explained with a smile.

"Can a movie be judged by investment??? This movie is the work of Azu's painstaking efforts, of course you must give the greatest support!" Mecca said as a matter of course, completely "Wu Chui" this Chui is alive.

"Let me ask you, do you think this movie is a good movie?"

"Yes."

"Then you give me more publicity."

"Hehe~"

Maijia looked at Jiang Zhiqiang, who was out of breath, in front of him.

"Mai sir, the company does have its own rhythm. This movie belongs to the work of Bad Monkey, and it is a small production in itself. The emergency movie "Song Feng Qingming Shanghe Picture: Sage Picking up Ashes" will be released soon. 6 Locomotive "Young and Dangerous 1" and Universal Video "Yin Yang Road [-]" will also be released." Liu Weimei explained.

"Isn't that going to cut down the lineup of "Dark Flower"???"

"It will decrease."

"Absolutely not!!!!" Mecca almost jumped up.He came to make additional announcements about his feelings, but he couldn't do it, and the gang in front of him had to cut and arrange films... How can this be worthy of Wu Xiaozu? ? ?
"Mai sir, you are also an old yin... ahem, you are an old filmmaker. You should understand the company's schedule and resource allocation. From the promotion to the release of a film, how many people's efforts have been condensed?

I can't damage the space of other works because of a work that has already met the standard, right? The box office base of "Dark Flower" is already here..." Jiang Zhiqiang relieved his nail clippers and poured him a cup of tartary buckwheat tea.

"Then it will damage my pension...Azu's interests?" Mai emphasized that he was unreasonable.

In fact, this is not wrong.

Naturally, the company's profits and the director's personal dividends cannot be confused.Wu Xiaozu himself also arranged for himself the salary and dividends for the position, as well as the share of the movie box office.

The box office rise of "Dark Flower" must be beneficial to him personally.

but……

Compared with the game of [-] locomotive going public, Wu Xiaozu's extra hundreds of thousands or millions is actually nothing.

But Mecca is different!

According to the current box office, after deducting the cost, he basically earns very little... If Jiang Zhiqiang's side is really a little bit darker-he might lose money!
What's more, the money itself is a bridge loan.

This kind of pension money is not cultivated, but a famine is cultivated instead? ? ?

Where is the reasoning here? ? ?
"Mai sir, Azu told me that your investment costs must be guaranteed to be returned in full, and then the dividends will be given in proportion. Don't worry... everyone is inside the circle, of course I will not cheat you. "Jiang Zhiqiang also understood Mecca's concerns and took the initiative to address the other party's concerns.

Hearing this, Mecca breathed a sigh of relief.

so...

This investment in myself is really——

"Mai sir, our first center is now an independent subsidiary. I wonder if you are interested in investing in our new drama "Slaying the Wolf"?" Liu Weizhen took the opportunity to offer his help.

"No, no... I'm not interested in movies now." Mecca refused with a dry smile.

He is now very optimistic about Dongying's real estate stock market, and decided to make a fortune!
hum!

Pension money?

Still have to count on yourself!
