1024 Locomotive (Shatin) studio and post-production base.

In the movie room, there was smoke, and people snatched out cigarette butts from time to time, picked up steaming strong tea and took a sip, shook their heads, and then buried their heads and wrote and painted. There were balls of paper on the table and the ground. The thick manuscript paper proved their workload.

There are screenwriters, artists, and main personnel from various departments of the crew.

Wu Xiaozu habitually lets the main crew members participate in the creation of the movie. He regards the creation of the movie as a very sacred and thoughtful thing.

Especially this movie.

It is Wu Xiaozu's attempt and release of his self-style after he finished a movie "Suspect".

The film has a wide range of scenes, involving Hong Kong Island, Aomen, Japan, Goryeo and America. The main reason is not that Wu Xiaozu needs a vast vast Liao to release hormones.

Instead, this movie is to promote gambling...and the He family's casino.

This play is Wu Xiaozu's first "topic composition".

The subject matter is limited to: gambling movies!

This kind of self-restriction and demarcation of circles is a very depressing thing for film writers and creators.

"The Great Job of Building X" and "The Great Earthquake of Tangshan" are high-quality and qualified commercial works among Chinese-style essays. However, compared to Feng Kuzi's independent "Assembly Call", it is still a little bit different. Not to mention the Western main theme movie "Dunkirk" that also beautifies Churchill and the British.

"The film style is dark, but I don't need the character creation to be too depressing and tragic. Under the overall style, the characters need to be more distinct and dramatic, otherwise it will be easy to suppress the atmosphere of the movie below the freezing point."

Wu Xiaozu had a cigar in his hand and had a serious expression to explain to everyone the creative concept and core of his new play, and at the same time began to assign work to various departments.

"The values ​​of characters will depend on childhood experiences, so this requires you to virtually retrospectively retrospectively the characters' growth experiences. Therefore, in the art department, you should work with the screenwriter to re-show the new extended characters based on my drawings."

"Alin - Your lighting team should cooperate with the set team, screenwriter team, art team and camera team. Let's work together to determine the color of the visual effect, the coordination of the set color and overall production, and fully reflect the wonder effect."

"Brother Tai, Brother Sheng, please study the retro style with Jiamin."

Wu Xiaozu politely told Huang Yuetai, Pan Hengsheng, two cameramen and art director Yu Jiamin next to him.

Preparing meetings in the early stages of the movie will play an important role in the creation of the movie.

Back then, the seven-member group of New Art City struggled was good at holding meetings for film creation. During this period, they would determine the tone, style, story, plot and even the specifications of the film.

Why is the director of New Art City worthless? Xu Jie said he had to get out of everything? The main reason is that New Art City is a director, and his freedom is really very narrow, and even the lines cannot be changed easily.

This style originated from the creative attitude brought back from Hollywood by Mecca, Ishida, Xu Wei and others. In essence, the New Art City followed the early stage of the process of taking the fake producers. Directors must be accustomed to dancing with handcuffs.

So, if you look at the many directors and film workers trained by New Art City, they are very adaptable to Hollywood rules.

It was only later that the New Art City collapsed and returned to the film creation system in Hong Kong.

1024 Locomotive Film Company has a different creative attitude. Wu Xiaozu himself likes to let the creators participate in his artistic creation. Many directors in later generations like this method, which has cultivated many so-called imperial film teams.

The short and fat ordinary tea worker Yang Lianrong came in and out, carrying a large teapot, and helped to replenish the tea in time. She gently brought it to the door, which did not affect everyone's work.

On the wall, a picture with a slightly dark style of black and white color is hung on it, which is very eye-catching.

In the composition of the picture, there are white left at the upper and lower ends, and the center uses a virtual viewing line to frame the focus of the picture, making people feel as if they are seeing a movie in a theater.

With just a few strokes, there is a steel bridge across the waves. The scenes in the distance are blurry, but people can feel the afterglow of the sunset. The ship is emitting black smoke and rolls through.

Close-up view, a man in a windbreaker is isolated on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The shadow processing of the picture is very sophisticated. The man stood there sideways, and the afterglow stretched out his figure while letting his face hide in the shadow, and his expression was simple.

The overall dark wind is very strong.

The lower left corner of the picture is outlined with two small characters as strong and unrestrained as an angry and thirsty horse - Gambling God!

That's right.

The title of the new movie is tentatively set to be "Gambling God".

The title of the film is the same as in the previous life, but the story context, character setting, and film style, Wu Xiaozu all overturned the "God of Gambling" in his previous life.

He naturally had to shoot "Gambling God" which belongs to his own style.

Wang Jing's version of "God of Gambling" is judged according to the quality of the movie. The entire movie is difficult to stand scrutiny and ponder in terms of structure, style, storyline, and even character creation.

Especially that amnesia scene, a typical Wangjing-style spoof, which directly lowered the faint epic atmosphere that was finally created in the early stage.

In addition to supporting Brother Quefa's acting skills and Wang Zuxian's beauty, is that the plot is to let the audience see the story of the God of Gambling God's fiancé being sent while the hot?

It is eye-catching enough, but it is not outstanding for the whole movie.

In his previous life, "God of Gamblers" was criticized by many people, including Wang Jing's use of bad BGM and slow motion that has nowhere to be placed... Wang Jing is a good commercial fast gunner, but he is really not a good movie director.

"Chasing the Dragon"... is actually not as excellent as expected. Especially when there are already pearls and jade among the predecessors.

Even so, Wang Jing's talent, film requirements and attention to the audience have far exceeded that of most mainland film directors in later generations, and this is the most sad thing.

Lucky Shi Wangjing of "God of Gamblers" meets Zhou Runfa!

Many people in later generations used the acting skills between Fa Ge's amnesia and possession of the Gambler in "God of Gambler" to prove his acting skills.

Wu Xiaozu only thinks that those people may be high-end black fans.

In the drama "God of Gambling", Zhou Runfa's biggest sharpness should not be limited to the acting skills of a certain shot. The most terrifying thing about him is that he actually controls the rhythm of the entire movie and crushes the entire audience like "bullying".

With his own creation, Wang Jing's "God of Gambling" has a faint epic feeling, and contributed the epic movie character in the Chinese film industry - Gambling!

If Fa Ge's contribution to the film is excluding Fa Ge's contribution, "God of Gamblers" is at most a barely qualified commercial film, and it is absolutely impossible to have such a high status. In fact, Wang Jing himself does not have the intention to pursue classics.

Unfortunately, Fa Ge did not escape Wang Jing's clutches in the end. In the "Macau Money Circle" series, Wang Jing's obscene style and shit, piss and farts fill the entire screen. Fa Ge's existence... In fact, if you change to Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, it will not affect the quality of the film, but at most it will affect the box office!

Before the preparations for the new drama "God of Gambling", the investments of the He family, Jiang Ershao and Cai Songlin had already been invested into a special video account.

For each movie, Wu Xiaozu will set up a separate management account to facilitate account expenditure and management. At the same time, it also has important convenience for future listing.

The movie budget is 28 million Hong Kong dollars.

The overall investment method is calculated by HK$28 million + HK$4 million.

He Chaoqiong's Tianji (Entertainment) company invested more than 10 million yuan. Cai Songlin's Scholar Film Company invested 5 million yuan. Jiang Zhiqiang's Antai Film Company invested 5 million yuan. 1024 Locomotive Film Company invested 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

Total 32 million.

in.

Wu Xiaozu's director's salary is divided into a 4 million investment share. This proportion is also an effective way to reduce early investment.

He would never contribute himself in vain, right? Wu Xiaozu felt at ease when he offered himself a 4 million yuan salary.

At this time, Brother Cheng Long... When the director of the second knife was filming "The Dragon Brother and the Tiger Brother", he even offered himself a director's salary of 2 million yuan and a cast salary of 5 million yuan to convert it into the later box office share.

At this time, many filmmakers such as Cheng Long, Hong Jin-Feng, and Xu Guanwen, who have great box office appeal, will also convert part of their pay into the movie's later box office share.

After "The True Heroes 2", Wu Baige and Xu Laoqi parted ways, not only because of the disagreement of ideas, but also because of uneven distribution of interests. "The True Heroes" was successful, and Wu Baige himself really didn't make much money. Logically speaking, for such a movie sequel, Xu Wei always had to give Wu Yusen a big red envelope or give a high salary to Wu Yusen, but unfortunately...

Some things really lose their literary style when they say them. So the two have always claimed that they have disagreements in their ideas.

This is also why Wu Xiaozu took the lead in increasing the pay of major actors after the success of "Young and Dangerous 2" and before the third part was prepared, and also increased Liu Weiliang's pay.

If you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse more fodder.

This is how the entertainment industry is. It seems that it is not much wrong for Uncle Li and Qian Wenqi to leave the 1024 Locomotive Film Company.

During filming, sometimes the pay and remuneration are directly increased, but it is better to convert his pay into a box office share. Especially for non-sequel movies and popular IP-adapted movies, this is even more true!

Not only does Hong Kong Island like to use it, but Hollywood also often uses this method to operate. It is one of the effective ways to reduce financial pressure, reduce risks and share risks.

With the film funds in place, Wu Xiaozu had already started the preliminary preparations for the film.

A movie has truly entered the preparation stage, and the preliminary work is very cumbersome. The investment in this movie has reached the cast level of Hong Kong's top-tier movies. Wu Xiaozu naturally did not dare to take it lightly in the preliminary planning work.

As for actors, considering Zhou Runfa is not only because it is suitable for the role of "God of Gambling". More importantly, Zhou Runfa can reduce the risk of "studying" of this movie. This is what Wu Xiaozu and investors value the most.

Wu Xiaozu's design of "Gambling God" has a dark and epic style. This requires the actors to have solid acting skills and box office appeal to retain the audience.

In later generations, if the movie "I Am Not a God of Medicine" had not been Shan Zheng's brother, the quality of the movie might not have been reduced much. However, the appeal and attractiveness in the early stage would undoubtedly be much lower. It is not impossible to fall into the market even if it is not sold well!

In other words... If there were no Xu Daniu, Peng Yuyan, Jiang Wen, Liao Fan and Zhou Yun in the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", how many fans would go to the plot of this movie? Maybe only loyal book fans and movie fans would go.

The same is true for "God of Gambling".

During this period, Zhou Runfa brought a box office guaranteed red buff of 10 million+ million! His pay is up to several million!

If you choose him and make a profit, Wu Xiaozu naturally won’t give up.

"Brother Zu, Brother Fa has the phone call-" At this moment, Luo Lixian walked in quickly and whispered, "Brother Fa asked you to have a midnight snack together!"

Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly.
Chapter completed!
