The next day, Li Hanxiang and Jiang Zhiqiang still went out to "sell" the film.
These days, Jiang Zhiqiang has been constantly giving Amway to many filmmakers and judges.
Compared with the Golden Horse Awards and the emerging Academy Awards, the Asia-Pacific Film Festival has a much more unique taste for films, but it also needs to be managed and built up in comparison.
Several screenings in advance have a good reputation.
This method of changing the narrative structure of cinema is, as a Hong Kong Island newspaper wrote, "This in itself is a revolutionary development of cinematic narrative!"
Wu Xiaozuyun calmly suppressed a Japanese film industry who likes to play with his heart.
In recent years, Hong Kong films have become more and more popular, but they are slightly lower in the Asian film industry and even the world film industry. even once said: "The Hong Kong Island film industry has fallen into a commercial circle." β
Then a group of people who hit the street really dared to like it. Wu Xiaozu never felt that the development direction of Hong Kong films was wrong. Commerce, entertainment, and popularization are the essence of cinema in itself.
Movies, like singing and singing in themselves, are a pastime in themselves for the public.
The reason why it can be recognized by ordinary audiences is because the movie has a bright rhythm and a relaxed atmosphere.
As for the fact that many people like to say "storytelling", this is nonsense!
Making a movie is itself telling a story, but do you think Hollywood's big-selling commercial movies really rely on stories to win? Not necessarily.
The consequence of the popularity of the Seoul-Asia-Pacific Film Festival is that the director Wu Xiaozu has been included in the eyes of many foreign filmmakers. Observers at major film festivals have included Wu Xiaozu in the echelon of directors who are "worth cultivating".
The good reputation has brought six film festival nominations.
Best Director, Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Music and Best Cinematography. For a time, it was regarded by many people as the biggest dark horse of this year's Asia-Pacific Film Festival.
The word of mouth is bursting, and Wu Xiaozu is very suitable to shoot a telegram back, I believe that these news will play a certain role in promoting the box office of Hong Kong Island. Supported by word-of-mouth and box office, when Jiang Zhiqiang talked about distribution with other cities, his small waist was second only to Director Wu.
Back then, Wu Shiyi Lang amazed Causeway Bay. You can play the inner circle version of Russian roulette on your own!
Director Wu led an army of hundreds of millions to sweep across the four seas and nights, killing people and horses, and cod flowing into a river!
All the immortals, bow their heads and pout their buttocks, and press their heads!

Goryeo, Euljiro 'Mimi' barbecue restaurant.
"Azu..."
After a few glasses of sake, Yang Dezhuan said in admiration, "This movie is so exciting." The word 'responsible' is a very general word, and for the first time I read it in terms of impact.
The mirror image of your film is too sharp, like a knife, and it looks at us all around, and this kind of image style is appalling at the first try, and this is the Asia-Pacific Film Festival. β
"This drama is different from Brother Chang in my opinion. What I see is the reincarnation of cause and effect contained in this play. This play has a zen feel...... There is also Director Wu, your martial arts feelings......"
Hou Xiaoyuan leaned his neck, "Director Kurosawa Akira, Mr. Hu Jinquan's films all contain their own feelings, this oriental Zen ......"
The three of them chatted and talked nonsense, the cups were staggered, and the atmosphere became more and more casual.
Yang Dechan and Hou Xiaoyuan glanced at each other, and began their own performance, singing and forming a group to brush up on the copy of Wu Xiaozu. Looking at each other's young faces, the two money-losers inexplicably felt that they were winning.
"It's too difficult to make a movie nowβ" Yang Dezhuan said as he gave Hou Xiaoyuan a look.
"It's too difficult!" Hou Xiaoyuan agreed.
"It's too hard to be a film director!" Yang continued.
"It's too difficult!" Hou Xiaoran took a sip of wine and smacked his lips to cooperate.
"Therefore, our colleagues in the film industry should huddle together to keep warm. β
"Yes, huddle for warmth. Hou Xiaoxian didn't need others to pour wine, he started pouring it himself.
Seeing the two artists arguing here in the foggy "cushion field", Wu Xiaozu looked ignorant and ignorant, which made the hearts of the two artists bloom.
"Only by helping each other can we make the road of this industry wider and wider. β
"Makes sense-" Hou Xiaoyuan slapped and gave a thumbs up, "This industry is getting wider and wider, and we need all of us to work together." β
Yo he, this is going to live!
"Azu, we have had a ...... recently," Yang Dezhuan smiled triumphantly.
"Bang!"
Wu Xiaozu slapped the table hard, patted his chest excitedly and said: "Brother Chang! Director Xiaoxian!
Then he snatched the sake from Hou Xiaoyuan's hand, poured it full for the two, and said with excitement on his face, "Since your two brothers say this, I won't hide it, in fact, I have a script recentlyββ"

Yang Dezhuan and Hou Xiaoran looked at Wu Xiaozu blankly, a little confused. At this moment, there is a feeling that the head can't turn eighteen hairpins.
This line ...... didn't wait for the two honest men to react.
"My script tells the story of the young man's love and hatred from childhood to adulthood, with a time span of 20 years. I wanted to be able to make this film into a series. Originally, I was still a little unspeakably soft, but after listening to my two brothers, my heart is now warm......"
Wu Xiaozu said sincerely, "The investment in this film should be about 20 million." I estimate that the first part will not be less than 2 million to 3 million. As if that weren't enough to scare the two, he added: "Hong Kong dollars." β
"Now I've looked for more than a dozen investors, but all of them are very skeptical about my plan. Even my big hose didn't approve of me coming to shoot. I'm going to throw money at it myself, but it's a pity-" Wu Xiaozu stared at the two.
"What is a pity?" Yang Dezhuan accosted.
"It's a pity that the funding gap is too big and it's too difficult to find actors. The plot involving Wanwan here is also too difficult to communicate. But the words of my two older brothers reminded me. β
Wu Xiaozu pursed his lips and said with a happy face, "The two of you have a good reputation in the film industry and have a wide range of contacts, so you must know a lot of investors. I also have a lot of connections in Wanwan, and I really have to rely on the two of you for this feature-length series-"
"Poof... cough cough ...... "Hou Xiaoxian couldn't hold back the sake flowing out of his nostrils.
"Are you alright?" Wu Xiaozu asked with concern.
"It's okay...... it's okay," Hou Xiaoxian's big ass face squeezed out a stiff smile.
"Then I'll thank the two brothers here in advance - I'll do it first as a respect!"
Hou Xiaoyuan and Yang Dezhuan watched Wu Xiaozu raise his neck and drain the wine in the cup.
Lose money and look at each other - borrow wine to kill your sorrows!
"By the way, what did you just want to say?" Wu Xiaozu pretended to ask, and then smiled arrogantly, "As long as I can help, I will definitely help!
"Xiao Amaranth wants to release an album, ask if you have any good suggestions. Yang Dechant smiled and patted Hou Xiaoran.
"Album? Rest assured, this is on me. You come to Hong Kong Island. I know a lot of people in the music industry on Hong Kong Island. Be sure to make you an album. β
Wu Xiaozu thought of Qiu Litao and BEYND's free labor, and he agreed very happily.
The two lively directors flirted with Wu Xiaozu and were killed in an instant. I didn't get a penny of investment, and I still owed Wu Xiaozu a famine. Neither of them knew how to get back to Wanwan......
