PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

"Sorry for the delay. But I brought it with me, and I treasured the good wine that I was reluctant to drink for a long time, so that you two could catch the wind and wash the dust—"

Wu Xiaozu pushed the door open with a smile and walked into the house, carrying more than half a bottle of Kande red wine and two wine glasses in his hands, followed by Fatty Cheng who rubbed his ass with a sneering expression.

"Azu!"

Yang Dechan and Hou Xiaoyuan also couldn't help but smile and hugged Wu Xiaozu.

"Your efforts have not been in vain! "The Suspect" has been re-screened in Taipei, and the box office is very good! You don't even know that the second channel you won the Palme d'Or, all of Taipei is your news!" Hou Xiaoyuan smiled, his eyes smiled into a line, especially happy for Wu Xiaozu.

The re-screening of "Suspect" in the greater Taipei area was very terrifying at the box office, with a cumulative box office of NT$63 million. More than one million moviegoers watched the movie in Taipei. It's even better than the box office when it premiered before!

This also shows that the Wanwan area has a high sense of identity with literary films. Literary films have always been very marketable at the box office in Wanwan!

Yang Dezhuan showed an aunt-like smile and hugged Wu Xiaozu.

Director Wu, as his own person of Wanwan Films, Yang Dezhuan is also very pleased. Especially after reading the later reports, I deeply thought that he was "the more national, the more global"!

"Wood Higashi~"

Watching Wu Xiaozu greet the two of them, Fei Cheng reached out and secretly stabbed Luo Dong, and when he looked up, Brother Dong had already pinched the bone joints with a gaba gaba sound.

"Misunderstanding and misunderstanding~" Fei Cheng stepped forward to apologize, his eyes rolled, "Brother Dong, they want to invite you to film? What are you talking about?"

Luo Dong glanced at the obscene fat man lightly: "What's your business?"

Fei Cheng didn't care, although Luo Dong didn't answer positively, but this answer already explained the problem, and nodded towards Wu Xiaozu.

"Azu~"

Hou Xiaoyuan opened his mouth and stopped talking.

"Drink first, authentic Kandi red wine. It's very expensive-" Wu Xiaozu didn't interrupt the other party's words, he had just listened to Fei Cheng's words outside the door, and the purpose of the two was not what he expected.

If it was the past, Wu Xiaozu would have started Tai Chi a long time ago.

However, this time is different.

"Is it inconvenient for me to read the script?"

"Huh?"

Hou Xiaoran's face was full of surprise.

"Didn't you come to Hong Kong to ask for my help and prepare for the play......? That's ......," Wu Xiaozu smiled and spread his hands.

"It's still Azu, you're refreshing enough, why don't you show Azu quickly. ”

Yang Dezhuan pushed Hou Xiaoyuan, who had stiff movements, and handed the script to Wu Xiaozu first, "This play, Lao Hou has been pondering for three years. It was originally ready to start filming. It's a pity that his last work was so miserable that many film company bosses avoided it.

I was able to get some investment, but it wasn't very convenient. I still don't want to take that step unless I have to. This is on your head......"

Yang Dezhuan shook his head and did not continue.

Wanwan recently had a corner head who was released from prison and also entered the film and television industry. However, the subject matter of this drama is sensitive, and Yang Dezhuan still suggested that Hou Xiaoyuan seek foreign investment. At the same time, Wu Xiaozu's name can also endorse this drama and increase the competitiveness and influence of this work.

A thick script material, very heavy.

Wu Xiaozu carefully looked at the script, scribbled and changed it, the script was very careful, the character dialogues and scene labels were clear, obviously Hou Xiaoran had put a lot of effort into it before.

The whole play, the paragraphs are dense, the dialogue is dense, and there are a lot of Hokkien pronunciations in between.

The room was quiet, and only the rustling sound of Wu Xiaozu flipping through the script could be heard.

There are a lot of scenes, rich character dialogues, and after watching more than 20 scenes, Wu Xiaozu gently closed his eyes, which is roughly similar to the story line of "City of Sadness" directed by Hou Xiaoyuan in his previous life.

The script and the movie are not the same.

But this script is full of Hou's style, although the script adaptation is not entirely from Hou Xiaoyuan's hand, and there is Zhu Tianwen and Wu Junzhen here. But after reading the script, Wu Xiaozu's first feeling was that this look was Hou Xiaoyuan's script!

It is full of cultural narrative style, and there is a kind of torture and pursuit of a sense of life that is like a lingering self-question and answer in the long river of time!

Old houses, old factories, old chimneys.

You don't need to watch a movie, it's beautiful to read.

Of course, when this drama is filmed, it looks like an art film!

You think Director Wu didn't vote for this play, but you're wrong!

"I voted for this play!"

Wu Xiaozu raised his head, and the first sentence made Fei Cheng, Hou Xiaoyuan and Yang Dezhuan stunned. Only Luo Dong on the side didn't care much about this

Nonsense!

"City of Sadness" is one of the few works in which Hou loses money and does not lose money! And this story is clearly a social hot spot!

I believe that as long as it is filmed, it will definitely set off an uproar in Wanwan! This kind of topic is impossible for a big box office hit!

In the previous life, this drama really made a lot of money! It also completely changed the attitude of Wanwan filmmakers towards the creation of films. Everyone saw the "hope of Wanwan movies", and then plunged headlong into the dark ditch and never recovered!

Most importantly, this play won the Berlin Golden Lion Award in later generations!

Wu Xiaozu will not vote if he is stupid!

If you don't vote, how can you pass on the good story to future generations?

Hou Xiaoyuan was highly praised by many of Asia's greatest directors today, TSPDT and "Film Handbook".

In later generations, some people compared the status of Wang Jiawei, Li Amine, Hou Xiaoyuan, and Guoshi in Chinese movies, and the fans of the four people had blue noses and swollen faces......

Wu Xiaozu felt that they would not have to fight in the future!

Wang Jiawei is his apprentice, and Hou Xiaoyuan is his hand...... Later, a liamine ...... will be incorporated It's beautiful to think about.

"Azu, do you really invest in this drama????" Hou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but stand up, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't believe it.

The black in front of you is not black, what kind of white are you talking about...... At this moment, Wu Xiaozu was like God, opening the covered sky in front of him!

He knew that Wu Xiaozu was very supportive of him!

The last film investment was a favor that Wu Xiaozu did without hesitation...... (Deng Guangrong cried and fainted in the toilet!)

However, he was still moved by Wu Xiaozu's righteousness.

It's both a good teacher and a good friend!

"But you're going to hear me slowly!"

Wu Xiaozu patted the little black plate with the traitor's head in front of him, and said comfortingly, "I can invest in movies, but I'm afraid the amount of funds will not be very high." You have to be mentally prepared!"

"It's okay, my play doesn't cost more than 200,000 US dollars!" Hou Xiaoran said excitedly, for fear that Wu Xiaozu would not invest.

In the last life, those investors advocated that the investment in this drama was super high...... Lao Hou revealed in an interview with reporters in Berlin that he spent less than 200,000 US dollars.

Although it is not a small amount, it ...... Compared to its benefits, it is really sprinkled with water!

This drama will not only recover its cost in theaters, but will also be a huge benefit for the copyright in Europe. The most important thing is not to forget the industry laid out by Wu Xiaozu - videotape!

If this drama is really like the previous life, then the income from the videotape is enough to make Wu Xiaozu make a lot of money!

The movie "Suspect", not to mention the box office revenue, has earned more than tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the box office. The distribution rights in Europe are being negotiated, and it will not be less than a few million dollars, and the revenue from the video tapes will be even more terrifying!

An award-winning work is so peeous......

He didn't invest in Wang Jiawei, that's because the goods lost blood before they became famous!!

But Hou Xiaoyuan's "City of Sadness" is different.

This drama is equivalent to Wang Jiawei to "In the Mood for Love", Zhang Yiqian to "Alive", and Brother Kai to "Farewell My Concubine".

In particular, this drama can not only make money, but also win awards! Winning awards will make even more money, and this is a virtuous circle.

Competing for fame and fortune, Wu Xiaozu likes to do it very much!

"It's not just about money. ”

Wu Xiaozu hugged the script, his tone was slightly deep, his face was serious, and his eyes were full of a deep heaviness.

"I went to the Cannes Film Festival to feel that Western cinema doesn't know about us. I also deeply feel the slow development of Chinese films. I remember we discussed before that Hong Kong Island cinema has its own drawbacks, and the consequence of kitsch audiences is that they lose their original sincerity!

What about Wanwan movies? It is difficult for filmmakers to get ahead, and their creation has fallen into a dead end!

Mainland cinema now has its drawbacks.

When I walked on the stage in Cannes, I didn't think I was from Hong Kong Island, I only knew that I was Chinese!

I once said on the stage of the Golden Horse Awards that I don't need to grasp tomorrow, my predecessors have broken new ground, but I don't have to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future! The development of Chinese films requires generations of filmmakers to continue to open up and develop!

We need to always bear in mind our own responsibilities! We need to move forward with heavy loads, and we must also travel lightly! Only by constantly moving forward can we truly live up to the sense of responsibility entrusted to us by this nation.

As I said, now that my generation is singing wildly, we don't have to pretend to be good, let alone brag B, and of course we can't be arrogant!"

Looking ahead, Wu Xiaozu's voice was loud.

Hou Xiaoyuan and Yang Dechant sighed, but their hearts were very hot.

"Azu, what you have done today is already practicing your words and deeds. In this era, Chinese films have achieved remarkable results. You live up to the reputation of the leader of Chinese films......"

Yang Dezhuan sighed, his heart was very complicated, he looked at Wu Xiaozu with firm eyes, and thought in his heart: Maybe this is the other party's mind, such a talent is the leader of an era......

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Our ancestors told us the truth, but we don't know how to do it. "Wu Xiaozu feels that he is great when he acts.

"Today, I was contacted by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals charity and asked me to donate to the Women's Screening Department of the newly established hospital. I was going to donate and do what I could.

But—"

Fei Cheng sat up straight and secretly took out paper and pen.

"Seeing you two today, I have an immature idea in my heart. ”

Director Wu held the hands of the two and took a deep breath, "There are so many filmmakers with dreams who are overcoming obstacles. Can I do a little more for them? Thinking about it, I want to set up a Wu Xiaozu Charity Film Fund, and then use the money from the fund to do an Asian supernova film support program!

Then every year, I personally select some young people with potential and give them investment, whether they lose money or not, they will be given opportunities. It can also be regarded as a part of my heart for the film industry, of course, give priority to supporting our Chinese filmmakers!

15% of the surplus money invested in films every year is used for charity! Of course, in order to avoid the fund making ends meet, the funds can be invested commercially. Director Xiao Yuan, with your play, I want to be the first film of the Charity Film Investment Program...... What are your intentions?"

"Great!!"

Hou Xiaoyuan was excited, "Azu, your plan has really helped countless young filmmakers with dreams!! I have no opinion!"

Countless??

If there is no suitable investment film, the final interpretation right belongs to the charitable foundation!

"But ......"

Wu Xiaozu saw the two of them staring at him, and said with a wry smile, "I think it is difficult for me to fully support the investment of the fund, but I want to make this fund bigger...... That's how you can help more people, so I want to find more investors......"

"That's how it should be. ”

Yang Dezhuan frowned, and opened his mouth to say: "I know a lot of rich people, and I can persuade them to invest some money." Speaking of this, he shrugged helplessly, "These people would rather donate money than invest in making art films!

"That's the best!"

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Hou Xiaoyuan slightly apologetically, "But in this way, I'm afraid you won't have any dividends for this movie......"

"No problem!"

Hou Xiaoyuan patted his chest and said, "I'm very content to have a movie now! It's better than helping those big guys launder money, right? I feel at ease with this money!"

"That's good......" Wu Xiaozu smiled.

Fei Cheng next to him looked at Hou Xiaoyuan, chirped, and whispered to Luo Dong: "If I understand correctly, isn't it...... Yang De advocated going to Wanwan and Gao Lila to invest in this fund, and then the big guy used part of the money in this fund to invest in this play, and all the proceeds went to the big guy...... Ahem...... to the Foundation, and then ...... 15% of the surplus was donated to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, and in the end, Hou Xiaoyuan did a job?"

Rodon shrugged.

"Surplus ...... Isn't this the big guy who has the final say?" Fei Cheng thought about it again and looked at his big guy with admiration.

Wu Xiaozu just wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf.

Of course, he will not be stingy with donating to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, and the foundation must be tied to this charity to be more convincing. And he is still very passionate about helping women and children.

Of course......

This foundation needs to be operated, right? Of course, some of the expenses will have to go through the Foundation's accounts......

When this was done, charities profited and the rich got their names.

Wu Xiaozu doesn't need to use the fund to make much money at all, as long as this plan is implemented well, maybe they will make money, but he will never lose!

Don't forget, he has a publishing company!!

Those movies have to be released, right?

There are always a few brushes for directors who can be selected for the support program, right?
