My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 944 Charity Racing Trial Pack and Cannes
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.

Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka!

At the entrance of the Regent Hotel, Luo Dong, dressed plainly in a white shirt and jeans and wearing sunglasses, appeared from a bright yellow Lamborghini 'Diablo' and was immediately spotted by the paparazzi.

"Brother Dong, is this Lamborghini a gift from you to yourself as an actor?"

"When will you and Miss Shao get married?"

"Last month, someone saw that you and Mr. Cheng Long went to the Omen racing car. How is your result?"

"Your new film "Thug in a Suit" will be released in the summer. What is your forecast for the box office? Will it set a new box office record?"

Reporters and paparazzi swarmed up to interview the new best actor.Many Hong Kong filmmakers also think that Luo Dong is a representative of the younger generation of actors, and Liu Dehua, who is in the same age group... is too embarrassing to play.

After winning the title of actor, his worth and status in the hearts of the public have also risen, which is also a manifestation of the influence of the Academy Awards.

"This car is a birthday present from Brother Zu. As for the matter of marriage, I haven't considered it yet. It may be two years later...Brother Long and I went to the race car to discuss some things...I haven't considered much about the results yet... …Movie……"

Luo Dong wore sunglasses coolly, but he also answered patiently.

No matter how cold or introverted you are, when you become a public star, then you will naturally start to 'adapt' to this environment, such as Maomao.

After all, it’s all about meals and work.

To deal with the paparazzi and Yu Ji here, Luo Dong waved his hand and walked into the hotel. Naturally, some staff came out to maintain order.

"Brother!"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fat Cheng, who was sweating profusely in a suit and leather shoes, rushing towards him and pressing F.

"Brother Dong, brother is in trouble, do you want to help?" The big breasted brother grabbed Luo Dong's hand and cried for help, "You can't just ignore death!"

He shook off the opponent's hand in disgust, and cast his eyes on Qi Tongwei, who shrugged slightly and said hello.

"Where's Grandfather?"

"Grandfather is upstairs in the conference room."

"Do you need me to lead you up, Brother Dong?"

"No need." Luo Dong's expression returned to indifference, and he explained again, "I can go up by myself."

"Okay..." Awei paused.

Watching Ah Wei and Luo Dong talking and answering, Fat Cheng's face was full of fat and his flesh trembled wildly, just like a private director whose business was stolen by someone.

"Brother Dong, brother really depends on you today..." Fei Chengyou stepped forward, and then waved his hands at Awei. The latter rubbed his hands, said goodbye, and turned to leave. Fei Cheng quickly led Luo Dong Go to the booth in the rest area next to you and sit down, and the waiter next to you will bring you coffee.

Fei Cheng tore open the sugar packet and stirred it, and handed it to Luo Dong, who took a sip silently, his eyes widened.

"Brother?"

"Ah."

"If you don't help me today, I will die."

"I will burn the ingot candle for you."

"I'm not kidding!"

Luo Dong looked at the weeping Fat Cheng strangely, "You think I am?"

"Uh..." Fei Cheng sucked his teeth and said helplessly, "Shi Si came here today, but I didn't expect Ting Ting to come here too. Now I'm afraid they will meet... If so... I will be chased by Ting Ting hacked to death."

"The coffee is average." Luo Dong put down the coffee cup.

"I have good coffee, I'll have someone bring it to you later?" Fei Cheng said solemnly.

Luo Dong looked at Fei Cheng strangely again, "You think I'll help you because of the coffee?"

"Brother...the world is in a hurry! If you don't help...you don't help...it will really be my death day next year. No wonder I went to the White Dragon King of Thailand to tell my fortune in the first half of this year...today this Shura This is my catastrophe!!"

"How much coffee can you make?" Luo Dong asked.

"..." Fei Cheng looked aggrieved and almost choked to death on this sentence, "As long as Dong Ge helps, I will contract your coffee this year."

"Don't do it."

"A year and a half??"

"You intend to overcome the tribulation with such sincerity?"

"Five years... not ten years!"

"Deal. 15 years as you said!" Luo Dong put down his coffee cup, "Where should I go first?"

Fei Cheng said something about the executive lounge, the other party nodded, put on his sunglasses casually, got up and left.

"I'm talking about 15 years?" Fei Cheng thought about it suspiciously, feeling like he was hallucinating everyday.

Shaking her chest, she got up to buy fried dumplings.

……

"coming."

"coming."

"Ice? Soda?"

"ice."

Wu Xiaozu poured wine with ice and handed it to Luo Dong, the two clinked glasses speechlessly, each took a sip.

"I just finished chatting with Ayao and the others about the Taiwan stock situation. They went to the conference room. You and I will also go there in a while."

"Okay." Luo Dong nodded, "Boss, when will you fly to Cannes? Is there a chance?"

"It's hard to say, I asked MK2 to help with public relations, and at the same time, I also used all the connections in Cannes. But this time the competition is relatively big..." Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

"Seven Sins" was selected as the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, so it will naturally work towards the grand prize and carry out public relations.

No award can be completely fair and just, and the effort you put in off-site is actually part of your film.

In terms of identity, qualifications, and even the subject matter and quality of the film, Wu Xiaozu has all the opportunities this time.Because it is a direct descendant, relatively speaking, it has already stood at a relatively favorable starting position.In addition, whether it is his own relationship or other related connections, he has a wide network of contacts.

However, contacts like Cannes awards are useful but useless.

Useful, that is, you can better 'lobby' the judges, but useless?It is also because Cannes is not like the Oscars, which can have sufficient opportunities to move around and operate.

Cannes is where the jury decides...and sometimes even the chairman of the jury makes the final decision.

In later generations, Quentin insisted on awarding the award to his old lover Coppola regardless of opposition.At the 59th Cannes Film Festival, Wang Jiawei awarded 11 Best Actors (5) and Queens (6), just like a joke... At that time, Cannes Chairman Jacob’s face was black up.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu himself has no way to make a judgment.

The chairman of the jury this year is Bernardo Bertolucci, yes, the famous Italian Hollywood director who filmed "The Last Emperor".At the same time, there are many Hollywood filmmakers among the judges.

It can also be seen from this that European movies are indeed in decline, and they need to rely on Hollywood stars to support the scene! !

Hollywood also enjoys the opportunity to sell films and promote them in Cannes.

In comparison, Wu Xiaozu, a third-world director, is really not worth mentioning in the eyes of Hollywood.

"I was notified some time ago to try out a play, which is the company's "Farewell My Concubine"... I heard that this play is going to invite Zun Long and brother to try it out?" Luo Dong offered to help add ice.

"Cough cough cough..." Wu Xiaozu almost choked.

This drama was handed over to Ye Jinwen, Jiang Zhiqiang, and Li Bihua to prepare and operate. Finding suitable actors in the early stage must be the top priority. This drama itself is a big drama.

A rare opportunity.

After all, Luo Dong now also has the status of a movie king.

When I think of Luodong's Cheng Dieyi or Duan Xiaolou, I somehow think of Jiang Xiaojun, an "Cheng Dieyi activist" in history. It is really a sense of time and space.

"The play is still in preparation, and I plan to hire brother Kai to be in charge... His father... ahem... I will hand it over to Lu Wei's screenwriter. After all, Hong Kong Island's understanding of Peking Opera is still too shallow... I personally prefer brother."

Wu Xiaozu explained it again, and then asked: "By the way, I heard that you have been closer to Cheng Long recently?"

"We're just playing racing together, but his driving skills are a bit bad." Luo Dong nodded, "I communicated with Brother Long two days ago, thinking about whether it is possible to hold a charity racing event, invite celebrities to attend, and then donate the charity money go out…"

"absolutely okay."

Just next year, the Chenglong Cup Charity Racing Goddess Conference will officially open.Many girls have participated in the competition in person... The boss can upload the picture!

"You can invite celebrities to participate, and then sell tickets to raise funds, I think it will be very interesting." Wu Xiaozu said.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Brother Long later."

Luo Dong sat down on the sofa, "Recently, I am obsessed with stage plays. I found that many actors in stage plays are very talented. I know a man named Zhan Ruimo, who has a high level of body language and mime. There is also a Hong Kong actor. The young actor of the Island Repertory Troupe is called Xie Junhao, and his performance is really amazing... lifelike.

In the past two days, I have contacted Mr. Du Guowei. He has two projects in his hand to be made into a stage play. One is a story adapted from the screenwriter 'Nanhai Thirteen Langs', and the other is "I Have a Date with Spring". .I'm ready to take part in…”

"Are you serious?" Wu Xiaozu looked at Luo Dong.

"Try it, and hone your acting skills by the way, but it shouldn't delay my filming."

To know.At this time, countless actors are rushing to enter the movie circle, because movies can make a lot of money!
Although Luo Dong said that he would not delay filming, how could it be possible?

After all, the time from rehearsal to performance of a stage play is calculated in years... In this way, it will definitely affect his investment in movies...

On the contrary, Wu Xiaozu appreciates Luo Dong's behavior very much. At least at this point in time, he can hone his acting skills and charge himself. Luo Dong is worthy of the word actor.

He's really professional in that regard.

Of course, if you want to have him participate, no matter which stage play it is, it has already become popular before it is staged.

It can be predicted that the box office results must not be bad.

A good stage play will not lose to a movie at the local box office.

Historically, "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea" and "I Have a Date with Spring" have been very successful, and the results have been quite impressive, and they were all adapted into movies in the end.This is still relatively small...

If it is a comedy, the potential is even greater.

Zhan Ruiwen is not well-known in the mainland, but he has a wide reputation in Hong Kong Island. He is a star with a very high audience popularity, roughly equivalent to Ge You in Hong Kong Island.His acting courses cost tens of thousands of dollars per class...Many stars have participated.

"By the way, recently I often go to a bar in Mong Kok with Meiqi to watch a stand-up comedian. A stand-up comedian named Huang Zihua is really funny... He translated western stand-up comedy into a localized 'stand-up comedy' , I think it’s very interesting. My eldest sister and I talked to him, and we’re going to pay him for a stand-up show.”

"Okay, let the company set up a related department to support you later. You can set up a stage play department. A good stage play really trains people. At the same time, we are also undertaking our own variety show. If this Huang Zihua has potential, you can try it... ..."

Wu Xiaozu didn't expect Luo Dong, a cold guy, would like to watch 'stand-up comedy' or 'talk show'.In later generations, Huang Zihua's "Stand-up Comedy" is very famous and very profitable at the same time.If it can be scaled, it might become a good IP offline!

The offline entertainment industry is also the starting point for the layout of [-].

"Let's go, go to the conference room first."
