Chapter 134: Across the ocean, welcome to be pitted
PS: Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes!
Lao Hou is still here!
With a big butt face on his face, he traveled across the ocean to Hong Kong in a state of excitement where he couldn't even urinate while peeing.
Get money!
Get money!
Get money!
It’s great that artists spend money to achieve fame!
Dragon City Ice Room.
"Tea or coffee?"
Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at the big face of Hou Qianqian, who looked reserved in front of him, and said, "Brother Chang just called me across the ocean. If you have something to do in Hong Kong these days, just open your mouth and you are welcome..."
"The coffee is ready..." Hou Xiaoran took the coffee and upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on his big face like an old farmer.
After glancing at the cautious Hou Xiaoran, Wu Xiaozu smiled more and more as he looked at her.
For this kind of money-losing product that comes to your doorstep without giving up on your artistic heart, if you don't waste it...ahem...and make use of it, you will be sorry for Wu Xiaochan's reputation. He really thinks these filmmakers from Wanwan are too cute.
"I……"
When Hou Xiaoran was about to speak, Wu Xiaozu greeted him warmly with a smile as bright as a flower.
"Director Hou, what I really appreciate when you come to Hong Kong is an excellent exchange opportunity between Hong Kong films and Bay Area films. Recently I happen to be filming a film that depicts the living conditions of young people on the fringes of Hong Kong Island. How about Hou?
Can you give me some advice?" As soon as Wu Xiaozu opened his mouth, he immediately blocked Hou Xiaoran who was having a question.
"?"
Hou Xiaoran blinked, not understanding what was happening in front of him. But Wu Xiaozu's words made him a little more interested.
Movies about the living conditions of marginalized young people in Hong Kong Island have always been a favorite subject of literary and artistic film directors. Later, there was a director in Hong Kong Island named Chen Guoguo, who specialized in filming marginalized people. Hou Qianqian admired him and called him the conscience of Hong Kong Island...
…
It seems that in the eyes of the literary and art circles, conscience means losing money. If it is not losing money, not marginal, not niche, and not profound, then it is not conscience enough. If these films really represent conscience, then the conscience of our Chinese-language films is also extremely poor.
.
Does it mean that everyone dislikes things with a conscience, and people with a conscience will inevitably suffer from poverty? If you have a conscience, you will definitely have a bad life?
What kind of conscience is this?
Fallacy of nonsense. Director Wu sighed with his conscience.
"Director Hou, how about you serve as the producer of my film "Young and Dangerous"?" Wu Xiaozu sincerely invited.
Will "Young and Dangerous", an instigating film, be scolded by the mainstream film industry?
Wu Xiaozu touched his chin, feeling that he probably couldn't escape. He glanced at Hou Xiaoran, who was sitting upright and looking surprised...
"I am also the producer of this movie. Then you and I can discuss the mirror style of the movie." Wu Xiaozu said suddenly, "Some time ago, many film companies invited me to film, why don't I introduce you to them?
, I want to say that there may be a film production company..."
blindness!
Wu Xiaozu didn't say the last two words, and looked at Hou with a warm smile to make money.
"Producer..."
When Hou Xiaoran heard this, he was quite moved. He was not excited because of this position. It was more because he was interested in Wu Xiaozu's mirror style.
"The Birth of a Prefix" can be said to have refreshed the narrative language of Asian movies and even world movies. This kind of innovation is infinitely attractive to any filmmaker with artistic pursuits.
As for Wu Xiaozu's introduction to "investors" later, he directly targeted the weaknesses of the artists.
Many directors have an inexplicable feeling about money. They call this feeling "feelings". For example, the feelings of big talk, the feelings of gambling movies, the feelings of Ken Takakura... It is too vulgar to talk about making money. Only when you talk about feelings can you have Gree Air Conditioning: Style
.
"Then it's settled. Because we have to shoot during this period, the accommodation and food environment will not be very good..."
Wu Xiaozu apologized for the performance with a look of regret on his face, "I might have lunch on the set. Of course, if Director Hou doesn't plan to join the set, I can arrange a hotel..."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about food and accommodation. I also know about filming."
Hou Xiaoran smiled honestly and waved his hands, rejecting Wu Xiaozu's politeness.
"That's good..." Wu Xiaozu nodded and smiled.
With the treatment of a bit player, you get free labor from a big director, why not?
Looking at Hou Xiaoran, who was so naive that he had no intention of raising money, Wu Xiaozu became even more satisfied.
Has he done videography?
Lighting should be possible too!
I don’t know if you understand the field work?
Is there any character in the script who needs a cameo... Looking at Hou Xiaoran, Wu Xiaozu became more and more pleased with it.
"Hehehe..." Hou Dabian smiled honestly. His heart felt a little smooth, and Yang De advocated being honest and not deceiving him!
As soon as I arrive in Hong Kong Island, I can communicate with Wu Xiaozu about movies and get introductions from investors...
He learned a lot from Director Li Xing, and he thought that this exchange with Wu Xiaozu would also be very fruitful.

Daiei Production Co., Ltd.
"Boss, "Yigai Yuntian" is distributed by Jiahe and will be officially released in Wanwan in one week.
The preliminary publicity work has been prepared, Fa Ge and Dudu will rush to Wanwan for roadshow promotion, I believe the box office results will not be too bad."
A staff member stood in front of Deng Guangrong and reported truthfully.
As the number one bank in Hong Kong Island, Wanwan has always been the meat of the three major banks.
In the Bay Area market, the Big Three are the only ones that can overpower the local film producers in Bay Area and distribute movies arrogantly.
This is also the reason why the Eighth National Congress has been seeking to get involved in the production and distribution of films entering Hong Kong.
If Hong Kong films want to be distributed in Wanwan, they must either be distributed by the three major companies. Or they must have Wanwan Capital involved in the production and then be distributed by local Wanwan film producers.
In recent years, this is the reason why Bay Area film producers have set up offices and companies on Hong Kong Island. But this approach cannot solve the fundamental problem. The Big Three are still the obstacles standing in front of them.
Before the release of "The Birth of a Prefix", scholars were involved in the Wanwan version.
This was also the achievement of Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang. It was very difficult to bypass the three major forces! The right time, place and people are indispensable. Without the Jiang family and Antai, it would be difficult for Wu Xiaozu to accomplish this. And if there was no Chen Rongmei at that time
, Feng Bingzhong and Cai Songlin will not really care about this matter.
Many things are like this, there are effects and causes. The Jiang family has something good for Cai Songlin, and only then can those who wish take the bait. As for what happens next, it is really the Eight Immortals who crossed the sea and showed their magical powers.
"Boss, in the past two days, some staff have noticed that "The Birth of a Prefix" will be released at Wanwan Cinema in the near future. This movie has a high reputation..."
The four-eyed man wearing glasses paused. Seeing that Deng Guangrong didn't care, he continued, "Especially recently, this film has been pursuing awards from overseas film festivals. The Bay Area market is different from the Hong Kong Island market. These overseas awards are of great significance to the Bay Area market."
Very attractive to Bay movie fans.”
"Movie awards?" Deng Guangrong muttered.
This time, the promotion method of the film festival for "The Birth of a Prefix" made Deng Guangrong see the importance of "awards".
Deep down in his heart, he still liked this high-profile propaganda method. This time, he could see the influence Wu Xiaozu had with the "New Wave" plaque.
The one-sided situation among film critics is very bluffing and inflammatory. If you cannot see through it, or choose to look at "The Birth of a Prefix" blindly, I am afraid many people will think that the success of this film is inseparable from the critics.
flatter.
The newspapers are full of discussions about this movie, which is misleading and inflammatory not only for Deng Guangrong, but also for future fans who will be bombarded by Douban and Zhihu.
Therefore, Wu Xiaozu wanted to drag people into the water even if he dragged them hard, let alone Hou Xiaoran who took the initiative to do so?
After "Young and Dangerous", Hou Xiaoran's reputation... ahem, Hou Xiaoran should be favored by many investors anyway.
As for art, what does it mean to sacrifice your reputation for it? How else can you be considered an artist?
