Chapter 532: The Premiere of "God of Gambling: War Now".
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
Mong Kok.
The flow of people is like weaving, and the crowd is crowded.
After the follow-up release, the publicity department of 1024 Locomotive has been on standby, bought the pages of several newspapers, and hired more than 70 film critics, always ready.
If it's hot, it's hot, it's not hot, it's artificially hot!
Three days ago, "First Blood 3" was released, and the box office won more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, and the facial paralysis face with thick won the popularity of many fans. Golden Harvest fired the first shot at the summer box office!
Yesterday. "School Storm" was released, relying on Lin Lingdong's box office appeal and the strong publicity and distribution strength of Princess Jin, which also did well at the box office. The day's revenue exceeded 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Both dramas did well at the box office, and many people have a clear estimate of the popularity of this year's summer files.
In the bustling area in front of the theater, uniformed men have increased police patrols to prevent stampedes. Do good deeds for the people, no one can find fault with them!
Last week, 1024 Locomotive Film Company donated 500,000 yuan of heatstroke prevention supplies to the police station to maintain the family relationship between the police and the people.
At the same time, it also donated HK$500,000 to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for the treatment of women and children.
The "Film Supernova Centennial Support Program" under the Wu Xiaozu Film Charity Fund was also officially established, and the first batch of supported films were "City of Sadness" and "Fear Room 2".
Of course, there is also a "World Film New Force Venture Capital Project" in the fund, which is mainly for the purpose of accounting.
The red carpet is set to about 20 meters, and the entire venue has long been surrounded by the inner and outer three floors.
"Princess, Princess, Princess!"
Countless boys and girls dyed with locks of colored hair waved support cards and screamed hoarsely at the princess who walked on the red carpet with a cool face.
The paparazzi were also overwhelmed with cameras to take pictures.
"Wow!! brother!!"
"I'll give you a lung! This lineup is even more starry than the Academy Awards!" A reporter looked at the stars who passed by in a hurry and couldn't help but spit at the mouth
Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guotong, Liang Jiahui, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Lin Qingxia, Wang Zuyuan, Mei Yanfang, Luo Yijian, Wang Princess, Zhou Huimin, Zhong Chuhong, Zhang Aijia...... There are more than dozens of big and small stars.
This is not counting the filmmakers of the Directors Association and the Camera Association who came to support them! Xu Yu, Wu Yusen, Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang, Wang Jiawei, Teddy Luo Bin, Chen Xinjian, Wu Siyuan, Jiang Dawei, Xu Anhua, and countless others also cheered.
Brighten the eyes of many people.
Wu Xiaozu's connections in the entertainment industry have been fully revealed, and it was not in vain that he added ...... everywhere Ahem...... Make like-minded friends everywhere.
"I heard that the positions in the back row and middle building of the theater have been fried to hundreds of yuan. ”
A paparazzi pressed the camera and muttered in a low voice, "It is said that the Hu Dagongzi of the 'Hu is not Huo' family, several big people from the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, justices of the peace, and many people in the financial circles, rich and famous people in the city have come to cheer, but they didn't walk the red carpet, they all went through the staff channel." ”
"Huo~"
A few paparazzi who pricked up their ears to listen couldn't help but be speechless, this former little deflated three, now he has also stepped into high society?
Although the status of the entertainment industry has improved in recent years, the ceiling is also there...... But for the real bigwigs, the ceiling of their group is nothing more than the floor of others.
Everyone wants to be able to break the ceiling, but those really big hoses naturally want the floor to be as strong as possible... It's hard for someone to walk up easily.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaozu really caught a way.
"Someone said he was worth at least ten figures!" someone said secretly.
"Ten hundred thousand...... Billions?"
His companion's eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible!"
"I don't know. He is a director of a number of companies and has been highly sought-after in the film market in recent years. Maybe it's worth more than a billion!"
Billionaires in Hong Kong Island in the 80s were already close to first-class rich. More than a billion can be counted as the top ranks. It's just a gap with the super-rich...... But who are those people? They're all legends.
"Pu Ta's mother! this Wu Xiaozu ......"
"Shut up!"
Without waiting to complain, the person next to him hurriedly interrupted. They are not afraid of celebrities, officials, or even bad guys, but they really have to be cautious about rich guys. They can be crushed to death at will.
Compared with it, the old boy is really out of the stream.
"Speaking of which, it's really inspirational ~ more than a billion ~ not to mention net worth, the status is enough for female stars to go forward and succeed......"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and finally they didn't know who sighed. A few paparazzi are inexplicably a little boring! They are really at the bottom of the entertainment industry......
……
Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong smiled and took the initiative to greet the insiders who came to watch the movie, and then they were very enthusiastic to introduce Boss Cai to everyone in the Hong Kong circle.
"The duration of this movie is about 118 minutes, and it should be more than 120 minutes including subtitles. At the same time, Azu's suggestion was that he wanted to open a peripheral product showcase in the front hall of the theater, and the rent would be paid normally, and I thought about it, which could be regarded as increasing the income of the theater......"
Cai Songlin held the wine glass, greeted the visitors one by one, and the posture of Lang Gu Yingshi also converged, glanced at the two of them with a smile, and said softly: "This time is also an opportunity." We started the summer file, so the Xinbao Cinema Line is ...... without resistance"
"Of course, everyone has the same interests, so it is natural to support Director Wu. Feng Bingzhong chuckled and agreed, "One loss is lost, one is prosperous......!"
"That's wrong, I'm looking forward to the release of "God of Gamblers" this time. Chen Rongmei also responded enthusiastically.
Cai Songlin smiled, noncommittal.
Whether the two of them are careful or not, he will not delve into it. The drama "God of Gambling" has his investment, which is the most tangible self-interest.
Chen Rongmei turned around, her face gloomy.
As the 1024 locomotive becomes stronger and stronger and involves the distribution industry, its own box office share has also increased a lot. In this case, his interests are naturally squeezed.
However, he was a businessman.
In profitable situations, he will not be easy to attack. But that doesn't mean he doesn't have ideas in his heart. Once the several film companies he supported began to exert their strength, he would naturally take care of his own interests as soon as possible.
What about Wu Xiaozu's high box office? He Chen Rongmei can't get the big head!
………
The second floor of the theater, VIP room.
The big nose hugged Wu Xiaozu hard, and lightly punched him in the chest, eating the taste: "Azu, didn't you talk about working together on a movie before." This won't really be your last play, will it?"
His words immediately made Xu Yu and Wu Yusen prick up their ears.
"It's just a rumor, what I told the reporter before was that maybe I would only make ten movies in my life that I was satisfied with. Of course, I do plan to take a break after a few years of filming. I have filmed six or seven dramas in the past two years, and I am really tired. Wu Xiaozu spread his hands, "It's too hard to do our business!"
"Yes, but if you have the chance, you can really try to work together. ”、
Sanmao also leaned over with a shy stomach, holding a cigar between his fat and thick fingers, and said with a smile on his red face, "Joyce has been talking about you and Xiaoxian in the crew recently, and there is a chance for everyone to get together together, I heard that you have bought a new mansion?
Gao Lihong was recently filming the psychedelic comedy "Ghost Feet" directed by Hong Jinbao.
"I've been busy lately, so let's do it next week. It just so happens that I am holding a party at home, and I invite everyone to participate in it when the time comes!" Wu Xiaozu smiled, not surprising that Wang Xianxian and Gao Doumei showed off their mansions.
"I like it the most. ”
The big nose patted Wu Xiaozu on the shoulder, and said with a good look: "When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big gift as a gift for moving to a new home!" After speaking, he paused, and then said: "My company's screenwriter wrote a book, the scene is very big, are you interested in talking about it together?"
At this point in time, Uncle Long's box office appeal is the first among the Chinese! At the same time, he is also the only Chinese actor in Hollywood who has entered the '20 million club'. The salary and dividends of "Rush Hour 3" have reached as high as 40 million US dollars!
At his peak, he could be regarded as a quasi-first-line actor in Hollywood. Moreover, he is very popular in the home video market, ranking in the top few for many years.
"Golden Harvest has been committed to developing the North American market over the years. I'm also well-known over there. You're internationally famous. The cooperation between the two of us should be very interesting!" Cheng Long was very dancing and looked very excited.
It can be seen that he is indeed quite ambitious.
"Okay, there's a chance for everyone to study it together. Wu Xiaozu readily agreed. Wu Xiaozu did not object to the other party's proposal in his heart.
It's just that the cooperation between the two involves 1024 locomotive and Golden Harvest, and it will not be finalized in a while. But it's really gimmicky to be able to cooperate!
Maybe you can use the other party's channel to test the living water of Hollywood?
Golden Harvest's cooperation with Hollywood for so many years is not hard work, and Cheng Long was able to go on in North America in the later period, because Golden Harvest opened up many channels in the early stage. coupled with Cheng Long's own box office absorption ability.
The 80s and 90s were also the most prosperous period for action movies. Uncle Long didn't attack Shabak night and night, when he was obsessed with games and couldn't extricate himself, his professionalism and box office appeal were beyond doubt.
…
In the corridor downstairs, Li Lianjie shyly thanked the man with two headlights hanging in front of her: "Thank you~ Mr. Li." ”
"Don't thank you! The big guy specially told me to take care of you~ Since you have to be valued by the big guy, let's send a few people. ”
The D book on the chest of the big-breasted brother shook his milk up and down, turned the folding fan, and said with a smile, "The big guy originally wanted to see you in person, but you also know that he recently served as a judge with Hu Gongzi as a judge of Sister Hong Kong, and he really couldn't get away." I hope you don't blame ......"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Li Lianjie hurriedly said, "I have watched all of Director Wu's movies, and I am very happy to be able to play his play!"
"You're really lucky, Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, and Liang Jiahui all play for you...... Take advantage of your chance. Fei Cheng squinted his eyes and patted the other party's shoulder thoughtfully.
Wu Xiaozu instructed him to take care of Li Lianjie, not only to take care of it, but also to sign Li Lianjie and sign at least five cheap drama contracts-
There is no benefit, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't need to praise him, right?
"The thirty drama contract is the basic model, and the rest of the brokerage contracts can be signed under Stellar Entertainment. "As soon as he opened his mouth, he multiplied sixfold.
"Ahem, ahem...... 3…… 30 Plays ???!!!"
Li Lianjie almost squirted out a mouthful of soda, her eyes widened, and she stumbled: "This ...... This...... It's-"
"Too much?"
Fat into a folding fan, hating iron is not steel, sighing, squeezed to the side, "Brother, don't talk about you, I'm too much! However, this is not without benefits......"
Li Lianjie glared at him, with an expression of I don't read much, don't lie to me.
"Brother, to be honest, you are a piece of material, you can shine everywhere. Actually, what's so good about being an actor and a star?
You watch them live in villas, luxury cars, fragrant cars and beautiful women, applause and cheers everywhere, endless banknotes, people before and after the wind and rain, but the bitterness inside is not poured for outsiders.
。 To be honest, you might as well start a company and become a director!"
Li Lianjie smirked embarrassedly without losing face. He hit the street as a director, and the pants he lost in business almost became a pawn.
"Thirty plays is like opening a company and receiving thirty orders. Make money in a single way...... "Fat into a slow picture," also tired! Of course, drought and flood to ensure the harvest! Anyway, the film contract has been signed, and you don't have to return the money if you don't shoot, it's much easier. With a big guy, maybe he can also become a big star......
Luo Yijian and Zhang Guoxuan don't have this treatment!
It's a sure win!
Having said that, who can guarantee that if you come to the game cleanly, you will succeed?
Brother, let me talk to you from the bottom of my heart, the company Xingyao signed you, of course, to see that you have potential?
I'm not like an outsider, I have to belittle you in order to sign you!
That's not a thing!
The two of us fell in love, and we are not outsiders.
I think you do have what it takes to be a big star. I don't deny that. But then again, there are a lot of powerful people in your mainland, right? There is no shortage of champions, right? So, this is also your chance!
Since the company values you, it naturally wants to focus on cultivating you, think about it, who can easily get the actor OF personally issued by my boss Wu Xiaozu......?
Fei Cheng put his arm around Li Lianjie's shoulders, well aware of the flickering of righteousness.
"I know that too...... But 30 ......" Li Lianjie was a little confused.
"Well, let's talk about the bottom line first, and then let's talk slowly. Le Yiling from the artist department is too good at communicating. Fei Cheng guided.
"Yes...... Not 15?" Li Lianjie tried.
"It's okay! I'll talk about it in five years and 10 parts, if it's okay, you don't have to thank me, don't blame me if it's not good!" Fei Cheng said solemnly.
"It's troublesome. Li Lianjie's eyes were overjoyed.
In fact, he doesn't have many opportunities to choose, and Wu Xiaozu is definitely the best choice!
In his previous life, when he was popular, he signed a contract with Golden Harvest for two years and four plays, with a salary of 1.5 million for each play.
At this time, his salary was not as high as 1.5 million. Being able to sign such a number of first contracts is not a bad outcome for him...
Of course, whether you will think this way in the future is another matter.
Just as he was walking towards the seat with Li Lianjie in his arms, he suddenly saw Wang Zuyuan walking over with the sexy and choppy Li Juice.
"Where's Brother Zu?" Wang Zuyuan asked suspiciously, "I haven't seen him for half a day......
"The big guy went upstairs. ”
Fei Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the box upstairs, "Many rich people in the city have come to cheer, and Brother Zu has to entertain him personally, and he has no skills." ”
"Oh......" Wang Zu Amaran
"Director Li~" Li Ju also took the initiative to say hello.
"Huh, you call me?"
Li Lianjie agreed directly...... Then he looked at the other party's surprised diffraction, and instantly understood, knowing that he was being amorous.
The other party's name was clearly Li Licheng, thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the juice in front of him, and his heart was pounding.
"Excuse me, I thought you were calling me. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Li Ju nodded and smiled politely, and then turned his face aside, his mind full of the "rich man in the city" that Fei Cheng just said.
"Why don't we go up too, the movie should start soon, right? Didn't you say that you were going to call Mr. Wu to give a speech on stage? Don't delay......
"Then I'll go up first. ”
Wang Zuyuan also smiled lightly at Li Lianjie, and then took Li Ju's hand and walked up to the second floor.
