Chapter 524: Fund Sources, Summer Raiders
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
91 Hung To Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon's 'One Zero Two Crazy Train Head Film Entertainment Company Limited'.
Gong Li was wearing a ruffled sleeve knitted top on her upper body at this time, and a navy blue long skirt on her lower body, which did not show her flesh, but still showed the sexiness of a woman. The skirt cinches the calf, framing the voluminous curves.
Leng Ruo quietly glanced at the western-style building in front of him, which was full of industrial literary and artistic atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth showed a touch of appreciation.
She was born in a film class, and she likes this kind of literary and young fan very much. Compared with the taste of money from other film companies on Hong Kong Island, the 1024 locomotive has the best impression on her.
The group has been on Hong Kong Island for a week.
That Wu Sheng was only sporadic and very busy.
The other party directly arranged for them in a villa located in Repulse Bay, and also provided two brand-new 'Tiger Head Ben' and drivers, which made them staggered.
In the past seven or eight days, although the other party has limited number of appearances, he has arranged a special person to lead them to experience the scenery of Hong Kong Island, so that they really feel at home.
Even......
These days, the other party is solely responsible for the consumption bills.
She didn't do the math though.
However, there are always hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars
At this time, Gong Li had just experienced "Red Sorghum", and her acting career officially kicked off.
The identity is only a new generation of actresses in the mainland, and now the biggest coffee among mainland actresses should still be the "difficult woman, famous woman, famous old woman......"
She is also the first to show her prominence in the 85th level of Chinese opera. At this time, he was only 23 years old, only 2 years older than Wang Zuyuan.
Many say she's lucky that she's a natural actor.
But her hard work is beyond the reach of many Hong Kong Island actresses. At the same time, her cherishing of opportunities is also one of the main reasons why she traveled thousands of miles to act in Wu Xiaozu's movie this time.
"What are you looking at?"
Aunt Lin smiled and walked with Burberry's bag, a proper goddess herself.
The burgundy one-neck silk top with bare shoulders, the irregular hip-wrapping skirt with a solid beige color on the lower body, and the elegant fishtail design make the leg line instantly visually elongated, swaying the bee waist, graceful and full of dignified atmosphere.
instantly suppressed the coldness and beauty on Gong Li's body, and the whole person was full of intellectual grace.
Forehead...... That's right.
The residence arranged by Wu Da Hose for Gong Li and Chen Kaige is another independent house of Aunt Lin in Repulse Bay.
At the same time, during this time, although Wu Xiaozu did not show up much, Aunt Lin Xiao did her best to be a landlord's wife.
She and Gong Li are very sympathetic to each other and are very close to each other.
"Nothing, just a nice environment. It feels very textured. β
Gong Li smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, she respects Aunt Lin very much, and in terms of identity, the other party is her predecessor in the Chinese film industry.
At the same time, the two are also very good at talking in other aspects, maybe the other party has also experienced her current emotional twists and turns, right?
A beautiful girl has an unfortunate life?
Who knows......
β¦β¦
4th floor office.
"Wanwan, Koryeo, Malaysia...... There are several places where there is an intention to throw money into ...... Give us a film fund. Greatly...... It will probably be able to raise no less than 70 million Hong Kong dollars, or even more. The low box office of "Little Man Weekly" did have a little impact on the confidence given to us by the capital market.
Fortunately, several of the projects we have launched, including "Crazy Boy 4", "Fear Fight Room 2", and "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 2", are all sequels to the hit movie, and... And there are star casts to guarantee the box office, and these investors are very interested. β
Su Liyao flipped through the documents in his hand, looked up at Wu Xiaozu, who was facing away from him, and reminded: "When ...... Of course, the most popular with capital is Zu Ge's new play...... Brother Zu??"
Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, condescendingly looking at the four big, round, white and fierce waves downstairs.
"Uh-huh...... You go on to sayβ" Wu Xiaozu motioned for Su Liyao to continue.
ββ¦β¦β
Su Liyao's smile froze, pushed his glasses, and said helplessly, "Big guy, I'm ...... I'm doneβ"
"Really?"
Seeing the four waves disappear from sight, Director Wu, a righteous gentleman, lightly retracted his gaze.
"In the future, all the company's project financing will be posted from the film fund. The expenses and administrative expenses of each crew, you cooperate with Sister Jiahua to do a good job. Neither can let the other party see that the cat is greasy, nor can it be too ugly. It is all handled according to the maximum amount process. β
Wu Xiaozu sold "Gambling God" as a film, which opened up the surging of foreign hot money on Hong Kong films. He, the initiator, is really "boosting the seedlings" of Hong Kong films.
Nowadays, a small company with a celebrity's script and contract directly dares to pull a large amount of investment from foreign capital, and it can really cheat money.
There are even some contracts that are not perfect, and are purely cut and played.
In this case, many people are crazy~
As for the box office surplus, it's the same thing whether a movie is made or not! Even if it is filmed, it is commonplace to increase investment in the middle of the film and pit investors, or simply make up a movie to explain to you.
Why are there so many movies in this period that don't make sense?
Don't talk about the audience, the director himself is stunned after watching it!
Because of this released movie, it's hard to say which movie is cut out of the leftover materials, and then the name of the star is grandly branded, and the money is coiled in the theater.
Celebrities don't dare to deny it.
If you can circle it, you will come to the circle, and if you can't come to the circle, it will be released for two or three days, and it will be cut in half, and the loss will not be big.
Not to mention publicity, the posters are very simple.
At most, lose a little money for copies.
In the previous life, Andy was the hardest hit area.
In some dramas that are obviously cameos, when promoting, their names are always written in front of them, and they become their starring roles...... even went to a cameo scene and cut it into two movies...... And then there is still bitterness that can't be said, how can it be a miserable word?
In his 90 years or so, his salary has risen to 2 million, and even to 7 million at one time...... But why did you set up a Tianmu Film Company and have to 'sell yourself to pay off your debts' after losing tens of millions?
The main thing is that the big brothers don't give money!!o(β₯_β₯)o!
Director Wu still has a certain professional ethics, although he cheats money, the quality of the movie can be guaranteed, and at the same time, he really takes out real money to fight for fame, no matter who the money is, at least those investors have a good reputation, right?
Of course, the object of the pit money must also be carefully analyzed.
Some of them are a one-shot deal, and they are sorry for themselves if they don't pit. Some trickles are just a reduction in profits.
The investment in the films of 1024 Locomotive Film Company and Jianghu Emergency Film Company will be transferred from the 'Charity Film Fund'. If nothing else, the management fee is enough to maintain the daily expenses.
At the same time, there is also a relationship between the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals behind the film fund.
"The investment in "Longmen Keli" is initially set at 15 million to 20 million. In the early stage, we took out no less than 5 million funds to build the group in the early stage. This project has priority for external financing. The crew's running costs began to be remitted into the investment funds, which was convenient for calculation after the follow-up funds entered. β
Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly, "Also, this drama is going to the mainland for filming, and the horses and horses need to be predicted in advance." At the same time, the salary of the crew was raised as compensation. The specific costs of eating, drinking, sleeping, equipment, venues, and group performances also need to make perfect plans and backup plans.
I have arranged for Ah Yin and Ah Xin to set up their studio in Sha Tin. Exterior play, my heart is the Dunhuang side. However, the details still need to be discussed with the local government, and they also need to be determined after the real site survey!"
Although it is going to the mainland for filming, in order to control the cost, it is natural that all the live shooting will not be arranged in the mainland.
Don't talk about it, there's no need for that. Interior scenes only need to be set up on Hong Kong Island.
Of course, the mainland must also build a 'Dragon Gate Inn'.
Different from fashion dramas, the preparation of costume dramas is much more complicated. From costumes, weapons, venues, and makeup, professionals are needed.
This aspect was originally Wu Xiaozu's weak point.
Luckily -
The big-breasted brother filmed "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty 1" has a good experience in this regard, and the other party will also be one of the assistant directors of "Longmen Inn" this time. At the same time, Wu Xiaozu also called Hu Jinquan and Li Hanxiang to introduce them to experts in this area.
At the same time, I also asked director Wu Tianming of the Western Film Studio to help me find it.
This kind of talent is in short supply for Hong Kong Island, and even Hu Jinquan now needs to contact scholars in Wanwan for help in filming "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
However, this is not so difficult for the mainland. Especially the connections of this old film studio.
"By the way, has the patch of "Gambling God" been done, what does Xinbao Cinema say about it?" Wu Xiaozu said with concern.
As the summer season approaches, major companies have also begun their own actions.
In this era, the summer season is the biggest box office period, and Hollywood is no exception!
The later stage of "God of Gamblers" has been completed, and it is also ready to go.
This drama is not only related to the competition for summer files, but also related to a series of follow-up actions, and even the temptation of the stock market.
"Xinbao Cinema Line agreed to add patch advertising. β
Su Liyao replied: "We have also cooperated with the TVB advertising department recently, and the advertisements continue to hit the Hong Kong sister selection ......"
β¦β¦
"In the past, this company was located in a cafΓ© at Tin Hau MTR Station No. 1024. That's why it's called 1024 Locomotive Films. β
Aunt Lin gracefully stretched out her hand and touched the mailbox in front of her with a smile, "This camera-shaped mailbox is now very famous on Hong Kong Island. Every day, fans from many parts of the world send letters. At the same time, tourists from Goryeo and Wanwan will also take a group photo here during this time.
This is very unique in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry. Even though it is Golden Harvest and New Art City, and countless good films have been filmed, there is still no such impact......"
Gong Li looked at the mailbox carefully, and suddenly felt something, and raised his head to look.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Lin asked with concern.
"Oh...... It's nothing, maybe it's a mistake. Let's go inβ" Gong Li smiled and shook his head without leaving a trace, "Don't let Director Wu wait too long." β
"He won't blame. Azu is very approachable. You've only been in contact with him for a short time, and you don't know him well. When you get to know it better, you will know his strengths and weaknesses and preferences......" The little aunt teased with a smile, "You can let him invite him personally, which is enough to see that he values you." β
"I am also very grateful to Director Wu for his attention. β
Gong Limei's eyes were provocative and she looked at Aunt Lin, "Sister Qingxia, please take care of me when the time comes." β
"Take care of what?"
The little aunt smiled.
Gong Li also smiled. How can she not see that Lin Qingxia and Wu Xiaozu have a bad relationship, and see Lin Qingxia's casual attitude when talking about Wu Xiaozu, it is enough to see that the two are like sisters and brothers.
"Azu's filming is very strict, especially the requirements for actors are very high. Deep dunk your best. Maybe you are used to the way or style of other directors, but here you will be completely ripped off, leaving you with the most original you. When I say this, you may not have a deep understanding, but you will know it when you are filming. β
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "But you don't have to worry, you can ask him for advice at any time if you have any questions, and he will give answers and guidance at any time." β
"I will. Gong Li nodded.
At this time, I was also looking forward to it.
She hasn't seen much of her other movies, but she has seen "Suspect". According to Zhang Guoxuan's description, the other party really pushed you away little by little, and then left the essence he wanted the most.
However, this did not deter her, but instead inspired her to be competitive!
She herself is very curious about Wu Xiaozu.
Through the report, it is known that the other party served as the final judge of the Miss Hong Kong Island selection. During this time, the great director frequently appeared in the news of newspapers and TV stations. This feeling is very different from that in the mainland.
In the mainland, no director has such public visibility and influence.
"Oopsβββ it's too hot~"
Gu Changwei's suit was pulled down below his shoulders, and the vertical striped shirt inside was tightly pressed against his back, printing the camisoles inside.
The trousers were rolled up on the calves, the white socks were up to the calf-thirds, and the leather shoes were pulled on the heels......
The most eye-catching thing is a large golden gold chain hanging around the neck and large sunglasses on the bridge of the nose.
"Let's go in and talk about it - it's cold air inside. β
The sweaty big-breasted brother with a ponytail got out of the car, shook the folding fan vigorously, and reached out to push Comrade Xiao Gu.
In the past few days, every night, Fei Cheng has entertained Lao Chen and Xiao Gu and a few of their men, Lao Chen himself is quite serious, but Xiao Gu and Fei Cheng really hit it off at first sight, and the relationship between the two sides was instantly irreversible after last night from Chinatown.
"Hey, hey~ Brother Cheng waits for me ......"
Comrade Xiao Gu followed 'Brother Cheng', the big gold necklace around his neck was thrown back and forth, and his neck was red everywhere, but he was still reluctant to take it off.
Chen Kaige followed behind in a T-shirt and jeans, and the rest of the mainland staff were also dressed normally.
No way......
Xiao Gu is just dressed up like a 'big water pipe'.
They rushed into the company and happened to meet Lin Qingxia and Gong Li, and hurriedly greeted them.
Fei Cheng also changed his appearance just now, and respectfully greeted Aunt Lin.
Brother Chen Kai and Gu Changwei are also accustomed to it. In the past few days, every time this fat man meets Lin Qingxia, he is unexpectedly respectful!
They didn't think much about it, they just thought that Lin Qingxia had a high status.
