Chapter 604: Low Cost, Producer, and Flying Disaster
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
On the balcony, wish for the blue sea and blue sky.
These days, I have been enjoying a rare relaxation, and my body is getting more and more kidneys!
Wu Xiaozu was shirtless and strong, wearing pink beach pants, lazily lying on the recliner under the sun umbrella, tattooed and mosaic~
Holding Lin Peach's jade jio in both hands, his eyes closed behind his sunglasses.
Reminiscing about the plot in yesterday's short tape.
The short film is terrible.
Steven Soderbergh gave this short film too much attitude~ The whole play seems to want to express a lot of content, but unfortunately, in the end, it is not clear at all.
It's hard to think that movies like "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" were made by him, and in fact he is not alone.
But it is precisely because of this that Wu Xiaozu believes that this is the work of a young director.
Which director is young and doesn't want to learn Godard?
After all, there are two kinds of films, before Godard and after Godard!
The style of this video has a bit of a white depiction of reality, sound and picture counterpoint, watching the movie, it should be a very straightforward film, but he gives too much self-thinking.
In comparison, it can be seen that what he pursues is a realistic and objective white description in the cold, which is very much the shadow of "Suspect", but unfortunately this classmate is still too young...... Teacher Wu needs to teach him a lesson.
In general, he is a very talented young man, and the biggest difference between him and Hong Kong Island directors can be seen from the movie.
There are a lot of ideas, and you need to do subtraction on the movie.
So far, Mr. Wu has been exposed to directors from Hong Kong Island, Wanwan, Korea, Europe and the Mainland, and each region has its own style.
Thinking of this, I thought about letting Jiang Ershao go to Europe again, I don't know if it will go well, if it goes well, maybe there will be a huge surprise!
He is preparing for next year's European Film Festival.
If you want to intervene in the American independent film movement, European film festivals cannot be left behind, which is also an effective means to improve your own 'level'.
At this time, mainland films have fundamentally shown disdain for so-called commercial success.
Even popular movies such as "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine" have been criticized for being too commercial, and who knows what those people want?
In any case, only by having the right to speak in the film industry can we maximize profits.
American independent films are a good point to intervene.
After thinking about it, in the future, I will specifically support those niche movies to be released in North America! Cultivating these messy things like Black Lives Expensive will not hurt Wu Xiaozu~
"What do you think about? I saw you drink a lot of wine last day?"
It may be that she is a first-time mother, and Aunt Lin, a Qilu girl who lets go of herself, has an accent of Lu cuisine and Northeast cuisine, and this accent is probably learned from Gong Dali. The other party was born in Liaoshen, and then ran to Quancheng with her parents, who were university teachers, and her mother spoke the Qingdao version of Dalian dialect.
In short, the palace emperor's honey accent infected Aunt Lin, who is also a Qilu girl. You have to believe...... The contagiousness of the Liaoshen accent.
"Bye-on~"
Gently knocked off Wu Xiaozu's outstretched paws, glanced at him charmingly, handed over a tooth of watermelon, chewed his voice, and didn't say anything, it was Shimu.
"Tomorrow you will go back to Hong Kong Island?
I heard that Xiaoxian talked about thinking about getting married in five years in a media interview?"
Listening to Aunt Lin's laughing and moaning voice, Director Wu pondered for a while, and knew that it would be better to go to the block to play basketball in the morning with his big-breasted brother in suspenders, and he would be able to escape.
The problem in front of you, send a proposition!
Didn't the little aunt send the little aunt to the United States to raise a baby just to avoid trouble?
This incident is estimated to be Wang Xianxian heard some rumors and defended his rights and complained by the way. Of course, maybe it's a, in order to force the palace~
Wu Xiaozu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the little aunt as steady as an old dog, and put his hands around his plump waist.
Finger into the distance.
"For me, love is the sound of dogs and horses greedy for joy, and love is to pass a thousand sails, warm wine and tea with a cup.
I wish to have one person, but I can also have coarse tea and light rice, and I can accompany me to see all the Chang'an flowers in one day, and taste the bitter and sweet of life. It can be returned to the old mountains and rivers to snuggle up to cook rice and chop firewood.
I used to talk about poetry and distance, and for me, you and him are the distance in my heart.
It's a pity, I wanted to live here for the rest of my life,
But this little naughty person forced me to make money for milk powder......"
Wu Xiaozu stroked his lower abdomen without a trace of embarrassment.
Aunt Lin was also smart and didn't break the child's father's careful thoughts, she looked down at her lower abdomen, and smiled with a smile in her mouth, not embarrassed.
"The cafeteria is getting more and more weighty~"
"Is that yours?"
Aunt Lin glanced at the other party, but did not interrupt the other party's hand, and asked: "Do you really plan to film in the United States?" As far as I know, Hollywood is very repulsive to the yellow race.
I always feel that Harvey may be wronged by you~"
"Yuan Datou can also steal the fruits of victory~ as long as he doesn't go crazy. ”
Wu Xiaozu smiled plausibly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The appearance of the videotape has given North American films a huge living space. More and more independent companies will spring up. This is the best time to do so.
As for that Jew~ as long as there is interest, he will sell his faith, do you believe it? If he has faith~"
Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozu was suddenly stunned.
Isn't what I kept saying to Aunt Lin exactly what men habitually said affectionately, "I love you!"?
The two parties swore an alliance and decided to live for a lifetime, and then walked into the marriage hall hand in hand.
In the future, as long as one person cheats, he will be poked in the backbone.
Marriage and love seem to be inherently fallacious, let alone the so-called 'once in a lifetime' in love.
After thinking about the 'lie' that Aunt Lin just said, is this just in line with the core of the movie "Surname, Lies and Videotape"?
Love is not a primitive human desire, but a concept that has been processed.
Sometimes, men and women don't know what "love" is, but they say they love you. Human civilization has been tens of thousands of years, and monogamy has prevailed for only a hundred years.
Isn't that a lie???
For human beings, surnames, are primitive desires. All primal desires must be covered by other lies.
This is a personality lie!
So, there's nothing wrong with a man being a big pig's trotter himself!
Thinking about it this way, Wu Xiaozu feels that he is really good, and he definitely does not deceive people. Not only can you maintain your self, but you can also look at love itself with a sublimated thinking, which is simply an ancient gentleman~
Thinking of this, he decided that he must invest in Steven Soderbergh's films, and guided him to shoot this subject matter and intervene in it at the same time.
A small-budget film of around a million dollars. Even on Hong Kong Island, it was not a decisive production.
Investors are very good to choose, and E7 culture is waiting for them to get their money!
It's like what the village chief said to Heitu: Don't let your daughter-in-law go out and go around, hurry up and write "Confinement 2"!
Shareholders are also thinking the same. ╮(╯▽╰)╭!
And.
If this film really wins the award again as it has in history, then the future of E7 culture is really unimaginable, and at the same time, this is too deep!
"Then do you think I can give it a try~"
Aunt Lin looked at Wu Xiaozu and glared, and the little aunt was coquettish, "It's okay to make a cameo, right?
Wu Xiaozu swore that he was definitely not given pajamas by Aunt Lin.
But don't be nervous, it's a good idea.
The filming of this drama was originally set in Los Angeles, and at the same time, Aunt Lin is at most a cameo, and she will not be the main role, so it can be regarded as "gilded".
At the same time, ample reasons are given.
Aunt Lin is entering Hollywood~ Ahem, don't worry about a few minutes of footage, in short, it can be regarded as a big breakthrough in Chinese films, right?
Jio~
Take the initiative to hand it to Wu Xiaozu.
"You can send someone to supervise me, absolutely not overtime, absolutely guarantee my body. Aunt Lin took the initiative to ask.
"Hmm~~~~~~~" Wu Xiaozu hesitated.
"You don't want me to be alone on the other side of the ocean, doing nothing, right?"
Aunt Lin didn't know if it was because she was pregnant, so she lost her previous maturity, but began to be a little woman~
"Okay, but three chapters of the Offer. Make sure you can't get tired, make sure you shoot every day, and I'll let the crew arrange someone to be responsible......!
"I bought a lot of new silk ~ socks ~ " Aunt Lin suddenly moved her fingers.
"Ahem~ It's okay with that. ”
Director Wu held his breath, pretended to be calm, and said righteously: "I mainly think that your suggestion is good, and you can't waste a good actor in vain." ”
"Of course I know you think so. The little aunt also has a calm posture that knows it well.
"Or else?"
He stood up, stretched, and winked narrowly, "Director Wu has always been a selfless person in my heart!"
“……”
Kill it or bury it????? I'm just pretending to be a pen, don't take it seriously!!
Looking at Aunt Lin's plump figure and leaving her seat, Wu Xiaozu looked up to the sky and sighed.
"That's right~ You always have to shoot scenes in the mainland. What does the actor think?" the little aunt turned around and asked.
"Chuan"
Wu Xiaozu's brows furrowed, this is indeed a big problem that is tangled in his heart.
"I have a few options in mind right now, but I don't think it's the right fit. ”
After all, this drama is a big investment, and the appeal of the little aunt in Southeast Asia is needless to mention, but she doesn't act, and there are really not many female stars who can be suitable.
"How is Aunt Hong?" Aunt Lin suggested.
"Honggu?"
Wu Xiaozu nodded, "I also considered Honggu, and asked the company to send a letter to Honggu's manager a few days ago, but Honggu's schedule has not been determined." It's hard to cross several plays at the same time!"
The word 'difficult' made Wu Xiaozu helpless.
You can't let people break the contract and accompany you around, right? What's more, the play "Longmen Inn" is ill-fated, even if it is led by Wu Xiaozu, it does not make people speculate and have doubts in their hearts.
However, the filming of this drama will still be completed in December. Not to mention my promise to you, but in terms of the release schedule, it has begun to warm up. It's always good to jump the ticket willfully.
After all, I also have to give an explanation to the fans.
At the same time, since this drama is missing you, I will definitely change one or two.
Now I understand why Xu Laowei filmed "Smiling Proud Jianghu" so tedious. There are too many variables.
It is obvious that everyone has changed their martial arts hearts, especially if I have the heart to let the mainland open up a little co-production.
I'm afraid I'm going to really have to fight hard in the next two or three months!"
It's true!
"Dragon Gate Inn" cannot be refiled.
Even let the mainland be released before the first half of next year, otherwise it may have to be postponed~ Maybe it will be a year to postpone.
Listening to the heaviness in Wu Xiaozu's words, Aunt Lin also showed a little soft-heartedness.
If you don't die, it doesn't stop there~
"I'll help you pack your bags. ”
"Okay~ I'll go out for a while. Wu Xiaozu thought about it without further ado, and was ready to finalize the investment before he left the United States.
…………
A café in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Programmer Soderbergh sat on a stool with a cup of coffee in front of him, absentmindedly stirring the coffee clockwise with a silver spoon.
The eyes were glued to the glass.
Because the universal driver's license has not been replaced, Wu Xiaozu can only call a taxi to pull him to the café.
"Brake !! bang~"
Suddenly, the car was suddenly hit by the side, only to feel a shock to the body, and it was pushed out in an instant. shook Director Wu, who was traveling in the sky, and slammed his head directly on the glass, with a bang, and sulked.
"Fake!!!!!" Wu Xiaozu couldn't help but scold.
"Are you alright, man?" the black driver hurriedly asked.
"Shet, do I look like I'm fine?"
Wu Xiaozu covered his head, feeling dizzy and his eyes straight. Is it not suitable to hire a driver if you hit yourself???
When I turned my head, I saw a dark green Plymouth GTX American retro muscle car with a roof on the side of the taxi, and the front hood of the other party was folded up, which showed how violent the impact was. Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu sat behind the driver~ and was not directly hit, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Looking out of the window, a hippie-dressed bastard was lying motionless on the steering wheel in the front windshield opposite.
"Help me down...... Let's see if that idiot is okay and call the police and ambulance in Los Angeles~~" Wu Xiaozu shook his head.
"Ambulance??"
The black driver asked repeatedly, then suddenly glanced at the bastard in the car, and nodded emphatically, "Man, don't worry, I will call the most expensive ambulance!"
“WTF???”
Wu Xiaozu looked at the white driver and didn't understand what this guy was talking about. I understand each word by myself, but it's a bit inexplicable when put together.
"I mean call me an ambulance!" Wu Xiaozu said in a muffled voice, covering his head.
“…… Okay......" The black driver looked at his employer, shrugged, and repeated, "Dude?"
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A 20CM DONGYING PERSON???
Bah!
Wu Xiaozu felt that this black man was unreliable, kicked the car door, and endured the pain with the urn, "Chinese!"
"Wow!Chinakungfu!"
The black man exclaimed, then thought about it, flipped out a baseball bat from under his seat, and tossed it up, "I help you, you help me, because we have the same idol! Bruce Lee Kung Fu is the strongest! I have decided never to surrender since I saw him, and no one can be more reckless than me, because I am the king of Los Angeles......"
That's not what this rap says, but that's what it means.
“…… NMSL……”
Wu Xiaozu felt that this black guy was singing big and wide~ It seems that someone said to himself: I will let you lose completely today!
Get out of the car.
"Hey, get down, white boy!" the black driver yelled at the muscle car, hiding behind Wu Xiaozu.
Wu Xiaozu turned his head and looked at the coercing driver, who showed a mouthful of big white teeth.
"If I'm not mistaken, he fainted. ”
"Fainted, Shet!" the black driver jumped out in an instant, and he was rapping there!
"Where is there a public phone around here? Go to the police first~ If you don't want him to die, it's best to call an ambulance. After recovering, Wu Xiaozu felt that he should not have much of a problem.
ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм
The hippies in the car could have been a little worse.
"Oh Shet! I hate dealing with the police~ You should know what I mean, man, you're going to prove that he hit me...... I'm going to call my mom and tell her to throw away that tarot deck...... Believe in science~" The black driver walked towards the phone booth next to him while talking nonsense.
Wu Xiaozu also followed, and he couldn't go. Who knows what tone the police in Los Angeles are?
I had to call Steven Soderbergh first, and Harvey by the way.
Now he wants to hurry up and arrange a special driver for the villa! He must be reliable! He would rather add money!
I don't know if there is a place to sell armored vehicles here in Lao Mei~ let me not go on the road!
Shit~
After calling Harvey and leaving a message on Steven Soderbergh's pager by the way, Wu Xiaozu came back to look at the hippies in the muscle car, and couldn't help but curse.
He looked at the wine bottle and a few rolled 'tobaccos' on the other side's seat, and frowned.
It's really American!
He didn't have to think about it to know what it was!
looked at the other party with a cold face, I really can't wait for this bastard to be killed directly!
It's a joke on the lives of pedestrians!
I was thinking about it, and I looked up!
Frightened, Wu Xiaozu hurriedly hid to the side - a white ambulance drifted and flew over!
I'm!
"Bang!"
The ambulance was on top of the back of the muscle car, and the brother in the cab trembled and slammed on the steering wheel and flicked!
“……”
The doctor and nurse came down to carry the driver, and then a black aunt and nurse looked at Wu Xiaozu who was covering his head, "Sir, you can get in the car too!"
"Ah, I'm fine~ I'm slightly injured - you see - I don't have a headache, my brain doesn't hurt!"
Wu Xiaozu hurriedly waved his hand, smiled at the other party, and said while running and jumping in the other party's suspicious face: "Look, I'm really fine! Not only can I trot, but I can also jump, and I can also step upside down...... Look at the upside!"
The black fat nurse's eyes changed, and there was a kind of love that came out of it.
"Get on the stretcher!" the emergency doctor next to him spoke directly, and four nurses surrounded him.
“……”
Wu Xiaozu was pressed on a stretcher and carried into an ambulance.
That's when I had a chance to see the hippie driver clearly.
A big donkey face, drooping eyes, probably because of lying down, can clearly look at the back of the hairline, a constipation and heavy look.
