Chapter 566 (Secretary, cheating, anti-bone boy and undercurrent surging 5000 chapters)(1/2)

Of course, we cannot say that these big producers are lonely because of this. We just talk about the changes in the nature of the movie and the changes in the understanding of films in the new era by various companies, which have led these real big names in Hollywood to begin to walk down from the altar.
The 1990s to the first five years of the 21st century, nearly 15 years, were the most brilliant era of hardcore action movies.
Therefore, this is also the main reason why Wu Xiaozu chose to include "Gambling God" in an action movie.
This year, the unknown Bruce Willis made a big splash with "Die Hard", and then opened the era of action movies dominating Hollywood.
At this time, if every star doesn’t shoot a few action scenes, he will be embarrassed to go out and say hello.
In action scenes, Hong Kong movies are indeed very proud at this time.
This is also the main reason why "Die Hard" is suppressed by "Gambling God" in Hong Kong Island and in Southeast Asia.
In comparison, the Southeast Asian market is actually not as geopolitical as expected, and has always been highly accepted.
On the contrary, North America is more xenophobic.
"Okay~ I will definitely go back and read this script carefully. I also intend to cooperate with Brother Long." Wu Xiaozu nodded and signaled Li Ji to accept the script.
He is indeed determined to join forces with Uncle Long. No matter what, his patriotism must be in line with Director Wu's values. At the same time, the other party's acting life cycle is very long. Although he is suspected of making money after the age of 50, he still dares to fight and fight with his decades-old body. Apart from him, there is only Liam Neeson!
This is a money tree that cannot be ignored!
Fa Ge's assets are 5 billion, and Uncle Long's future generations say that his net worth is no less than 20 billion!
Don’t treat them as stars. In addition to stars, they are really top rich people!
Think about it, a rich man killed you for a movie, but he actually did not forget his original intention! He also injected his own strength into the art and cultural life that the people like! (Please mark this passage with a key point! Great!)
In fact, Wu Xiaozu thought they were more powerful than ordinary rich people because they were a resource and had huge influence. With the development of the entertainment industry and the injection of capital, if there were still people who fantasize that these actors were inferior to others... it might be considered as self-deception?
Even if it is a low-ranking rank, it may be a low-ranking rank that many people cannot reach.
"Miss Liji, remember to join Azu in the premiere of "Police Story 2" with me." Cheng Long smiled and invited Liji before leaving, "I will definitely sweep the bed to welcome you!"
"Thank you, Brother Long, I will definitely... accompany Wu Sheng to your premiere. I believe "Police Story 2" will definitely be more exciting than the first one. I am a fan of this drama myself." Li Yu kept smiling and took the initiative to stand up and give it to him.
Regardless of whether she is scheming or not, her knowledge, conversation and basic qualities are indeed higher than those of ordinary girls.
As a college student, he has rich postures and is indeed extraordinary.
Wu Xiaozu held the tea cup and sipped the tea, smiling at the sharp juice of the human reincarnation, and sent away the big nostril dragon.
Li Xue returned with her handbag, folded the script and put it in the bag, glanced at Wu Xiaozu slightly with her round jaw, and asked with a smile: "Wu Sheng, do I need me to copy this script for you? I read the handwriting on it is a little sloppy..."
"You really treat yourself as your secretary? You're so incompetent—" Wu Xiaozu looked at the other party with a smile, his eyes deep, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"I believe that following Wu Sheng can learn a lot of things that cannot be learned in other places. Besides, I am really interested in these things. Wu Sheng, don't you just lack a secretary? If—"
Li Ji was smiling and her eyebrows were soothing. While sorting out the manuscript, she said, "If you are worried that others will gossip, you don't have to. For some reason, the magazines outside always praised me, and there are rumors of Li Ji dating everywhere... I'm not afraid that they will say more.
I know what I want... I hope Wu Sheng, you can give me such a chance."
"What you said makes sense."
Wu Xiaozu stared at the teacup, his fingers turned, and the ripples of water slowly spread, "I'll call Xiaoxian and say that I'll ask her to have dinner at Pingdingshan Restaurant in the evening. Do you help me arrange it?"
"Okay."
Li Juice Sprinkled agreed, and then took the initiative to say: "Wu Sheng, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Sir and Lin Xiaoming, Lin Sir continued to contact Mr. Weinstein, and the other party agreed to our final contract requirements.
However, he insisted that the promotion of "Two Heroes" would initially be limited to the Chinese community and other Asian immigrant areas and would not be released on a large scale. At the same time, he also required us to actively cooperate with the promotion, and the cost would not be less than US$300,000.
If the box office is impressive, he will take the initiative to help us contact offline distribution, but he accounts for 50% of the profit share in offline years."
"Yes." Wu Xiaozu nodded. The benefits are something that one person can't finish. If you don't share the benefits, why should you help you?
Especially people like Harvey!
"He is very interested in "Suspect" and is preparing to participate in a round of North American awards and start working on it. However, he proposed to re-edit the movie and we need to provide the original material~"
Before Li Jue was finished, Wu Xiaozu waved his hand and interrupted, "This drama is not allowed to be used. Maybe after editing, he can indeed sell more than tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in North America, but this story was originally intended to win awards. Compared with the European market, it is difficult for North America to have a living soil, including the film festival."
Of course, Wu Xiaozu understood Harvey's thoughts. After editing and packaging, he might really be able to sell more box offices, but he would never sell well.
As mentioned earlier, the North American market is extremely xenophobic.
The core of this drama is Eastern-style emotional processing, which may not be understood by the Americans at all. This drama is destined to be a practical thing in the circle of niche movie fans.
European movies like it because of the artistic form and filming techniques presented by this drama, as well as the artistic treatment of the movie itself. But in North America, there will never be such a focus!
Since you can't win any big prize, it's better to keep in this state.
Of course, if you nominate the Golden Ball and Oscar, Wu Xiaozu would never refuse, but this is impossible. Cultural differences cannot be erased by just one or two sentences.
If you don’t edit the movie, you may lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan in a short time, but in the long run, this will maintain your own style!
After all, he still has to try to find out the art market and can't let Harvey mess it up!
Nowadays, Boss Wu is also a person who cares about his feathers...
Li Yu held the book and wrote down Wu Xiaozu's words as if it were true, without raising his head: "In the morning, Wang Jiawei and a director Liu Zhenwei came to the company... Director Wang handed over this script to you, saying that it was for you to read it and help to polish it. I specially brought it to you-"
As he said that, his body couldn't help but stick it over, took out the script and handed it to Director Wu.
"The True Story of A Fei".
"If you don't watch it, just pretend you haven't received it." Wu Xiaozu stared at the title of the film and knew it was a pit. This must not be read by the review, and he could not even mention the suggestions, let alone polishing!
...
Victoria Harbour.
Wang Jiawei was wearing long legs that were not in a wheelchair, wearing sunglasses, holding a paintbrush in his hand and slowly looking at the drawing board in front of him - he was sketching.
On the side, Liang Chaowei was wearing sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and was squatting on the curb next to him in an Asian squat position, snatching a handful of corn kernels in his hand - he was feeding seagulls!
After a few filming of the drama "The Legend of Ah Fei", Wang Jiawei found a little answer from his master Wu Xiaozu, and told producer Deng Guangrong: OK, I won't pretend anymore, I don't feel anything now! Showdown! I'm ready to relax and continue shooting when I come back.
Deng Guangrong looked at him silently, not knowing what to say in the end. He made two movies, a movie with a preliminary investment of 40 million yuan, and he would just stop playing this large amount of money.
Wang Jiawei: That's okay, I might come to see it at night and take a photo!
Deng Guangrong was careful: What if I couldn’t come that night?
Wang Jiawei: That might come tomorrow!
Deng Guangrong: So, will you not delay the money for one day tomorrow?
Wang Jiawei: If you delay, just invest again! As for art, you can’t consider money!
They certainly didn't have such a conversation, but this is the way they are in their hearts.
Faced with the director he invited, Deng Guangrong could only accept Wang Jiawei's "retreat"!
How could he know that when Wu Xiaozu filmed "The Suspect" last year, Wang Jiawei fooled Qiu Litao and took out his wife to shoot the documentary "Memory of the City: The City of God".
Then the movie was finished, and the documentary was just let go and stopped filming!
to this end.
Qiu Litao has been eating instant noodles for half a year. Why do you think he is trying hard to prepare for filming "Fear Room 2"? It's not a matter of hard work... All aspects of the meal are all over the next meal, and all aspects of the next meal are all over his body...
Now that documentary is still falling into dust in the archives of Locomotive Entertainment Company in 1024.
"Why would I draw a portrait for you?" Wang Jiawei turned around and said to Liang Chaowei.
Liang Chaowei raised his head half a beat, his two innocent eyes looked amazing. After filming "Dream Back to Tang Dynasty 1", Xiao Liang could hold a story meeting... He had too many sad experiences, and he was sad tears when he talked about it.
I still can't figure out whether Deborah's hand was putting in from his trouser legs. Is it necessary for the plot?
"Why do you go to the ground and I'm painting?" Wang Jiawei said.
Liang Chaowei tilted his head, staring at him with distinct black and white pupils, pursing his lips, and suddenly his thoughts appeared in his heart: It would be better for director Li Licheng!
This Wang Jiawei, Shenjing Bing!
"Draw it."
Liang Chaowei lay on the ground and looked up at Wang Jiawei with a calm face.
He wants to thank Li Licheng, who completely let him eliminate the shame when acting as an actor...
In the car, his legs were placed on the steering wheel, and the round face and small eyes with popsicles were squirming, looking at his good friend playing "Liang Chaowei" for no reason.
"Nothing! Let's leave the safety first with Shadow Jie. The long-legged king is simply a fool--"
Liu Zhenwei muttered, glanced at the random notepad in the passenger seat, and blinked.
The script pressed on top is called "Male and Female Killing Stars".
A serious drama movie about criminal action.
Liu Zhenwei is a talented person, but he likes to find another way, and he is also proud of himself.
In later generations, in order to prove that some people still read good stories, they turned into multiple pseudonyms and wrote scripts as directors, which proved that as long as the story was filmed well, even if the unknown young directors were still supported by the audience!
After filming "The School of Ghosts", he was ready to leave Ying Zhijie and shoot some of his favorite subjects. The theme of this criminal action film is undoubtedly the type that many bigwigs have proved in recent years.
This is true for Wu Xiaozu, Wu Yusen, and Lin Lingdong.
Thinking about the advice Wang Jiawei gave him in his mind, but he didn't make up his mind.
To be continued...
