Chapter 52: Shake the Cup

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a recommendation ticket!

"New play?"

"New play. ”

Wu Xiaozu motioned for him to sit down, and said unhurriedly, "The script has just been completed, and I have drawn a few sketches and storyboards in my spare time. In the past two days, I will pick the roles, and the scene will start after the scene survey is completed. I've already asked Fat Guy Ji and Silly Qiang to organize and sign a contract. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozu pointed at Qiu Litao and smiled, "It's not sure that my play will start in front of you." ”

"Okay, but Brother Zu, you have to allow me to pull Feicheng, Ah Dong, and Ah Yao to help them start work. Qiu Litao smiled, "There is no reason to start work and not take care of your own people." Besides, the new crew can support me with them, making my filming a little smoother. ”

What the director likes is a familiar crew. There is nothing wrong with that. As for Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Su Liyao. All of them have seen the hard work of filmmaking and witnessed the big sales of the movie. It is logical that Fei Cheng, Luo Dong, and Su Liyao will continue to walk here.

Since they have a heart, Wu Xiaozu is also happy to see it.

At this time, the three of them can increase their filming experience, and Wu Xiaozu has no reason not to agree. He never thought his three brothers were worse than the other filmmakers who were halfway home.

How many professionals are there in the film industry on Hong Kong Island? Not all of them are halfway out of the house and work hard to get out. Since others can, the brothers can't do it for no reason!

"Beat them hard. Wu Xiaozu was like a patriarch and politely admonished.

"OK Brother Zu, don't worry, I will definitely greet them well. Make sure you're hard enoughβ€”"

Qiu Litao's long hair floated in the wind, and his swarthy~dark~ black face showed a mouthful of small white teeth, a proper long-haired version of Song Xiaobao.

Looking at the stupid Qiu Litao, it was too late for Wu Xiaozu to regret and say anything at this time. May only the three seek more blessings for themselves.

"Is this scene still Brother Jiahui?" Qiu Litao asked with a smile on his face, "Play a side?"

"No, thisβ€”"

Wu Xiaozu pointed to the bald guy lying in a pool of blood on the storyboard. The storyboard only depicts certain episodes. The final answer was not revealed, including the script, and Wu Xiaozu did not plan to lift the hole cards before the official start of filming.

The biggest surprise of "Fear Room" is undoubtedly the role of Liang Jiahui! But Wu Xiaozu did not describe it in the script.

This is not Wu Xiaozu alone, but it is a common method in the film industry. Needless to say, Hollywood has a high legal awareness of confidentiality clauses. The Chinese film industry has done a lot worse in this regard, which has also prompted screenwriters and directors to think of such an opportunistic trick. In the future, it has also become a drawback of Chinese films, killing many Wanwan film companies.

In a few years, the king of sunglasses is relying on this trick to spew blood from investors.

Many people in later generations know that Wang Jiawei's script, just look at it, don't take it seriously. Because, he will not follow the original script 100%, but will only slowly grind. Otherwise, you must have met a fake Wang Jiawei, such as "ZQ Forest", a month of continuous filming with editing, and the fast gunner style bluffed a vote.

β€œοΌŸβ€

β€œοΌŸοΌŸβ€

Qiu Litao and Jiang Zhiqiang looked confused, and the capitalized "calm" appeared in their expressions, looking at Wu Xiaozu like an alien.

"Brother Jiahui's re-shooting of the camera happens to be bald, which is a matter of savings. Wu Xiaozu explained as a matter of course.

"Pick a newcomer to support the show?" Jiang Zhiqiang looked puzzled.

Whether Wanwan is blocking or not the things that belong to the foreign market, this is a later story. In the local market, the sequelae of the hype is that Liang Jiahui is much more famous in the entertainment industry than in the same period in his previous life. can be regarded as a third-tier star.

"I inquired with Shao Damei about several new TVB actors, and I think it is very suitable for my new play. Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.

There is Sister Shao, a TVB descendant (brother-in-law) undercover, there is no reason not to lie... Turn... Ahem... Choose...... Find a few newcomers who are not taken seriously for the time being to play.

Moreover, Wu Xiaozu doesn't want Liang Jiahui to be framed as a "perverted professional" and "horror film actor".

Even a director like Liu Zhenwei can't help but fall into solidification after shooting a few ghost films, in order to break this shackle, he can only choose to change his name Li Dawei, Liu Yumin, Chen Xianzhi and other names to shoot "91 Condor Heroes", "92 Black Rose to Black Rose", "Forever and Forever", not to mention Liang Jiahui?

For this reason, Liu Zhenwei does not know how many reporters and film critics have been offended. Because every time they write, they know it's him, but they can't be sure. I feel that not only my personality has been humiliated, but I have also been insulted by my IQ.

"Newcomer, do you want it?"

"Why don't you try, will you know?" Wu Xiaozu smiled confidently, "Liang Jiahui doesn't pretend to be Lin Guoyun, but he knows that he can not only play the weak Xianfeng, but also play the terrifying pervert?"

"Bet again?" Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and asked with interest, "How big is this bet?"

"800,000 is good, isn't it?" Wu Xiaozu said with a casual smile.

"If you open your mouth, I will support you with 8 million!"

Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang looked at each other and smiled, and the two gamblers played happily.

"You shake the color Gu, I don't have a reason not to follow. What's more, you're so attentive and professional?"

Jiang Zhiqiang glanced at the thick script and storyboard, smiled and smoked ~ three cigars, and scattered the two, "A few days ago, a person on the street with a page of outline talked to me about investment. It's 3 million when you open your mouth! Could it be that I, Jiang Zhiqiang, look like Kaizi?"

"Kaizi is not like it, there must be a big water pipe. Qiu Litao joked on the side.

"The Butcher on a Rainy Night" made millions of dollars, and Jiang Zhiqiang's reputation as a big water throat in the circle spread far and wide. Countless "fish guys" who made films came to catch Jiang Zhiqiang, a "fish in the water".

After the film market was hot, the Hong Kong Island film industry produced two special groups, one group is called "fish guys" and the other group is called "water fish".

The water fish is the fat sheep in the mouth of the deceived. Naturally, the fishmen are those liars.

Among them, Taiwanese and Southeast Asian filmmakers have become "fish in the water". Unexpectedly, he found Jiang Zhiqiang's head.

"I'm just a stupid bird flying first. There are so many shrewd people in Hong Kong, of course, I have to find another way. The shrimp is not eaten by one or two. Wu Xiaozu chuckled.

"I didn't see the stupid bird, but there was one eagle. Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile, "A few stupid birds can bring in tens of millions of box office? Are all insects blind?" After speaking, he pointed to the storyboard and script, "At least they are cheating like you, can it be said that the Hong Kong Island film industry is already so good at making money?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

Hong Kong Island filmmakers now have their eyes open, and they are all $$ symbols, and you tell them to polish the script? They greet your mother. Wu Xiaozu also likes money, but it is a little farther than these people's vision.

Well, about thirty years in length.

"If you make money, you must have it, but if you make good money, you may not have it. Wu Xiaozu took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Recently, I have received at least dozens of phone calls, and I have been asked to open the film with my mouth closed. All of them are all big water hoses......" Speaking of this, Wu Xiaozu nodded his head and laughed at himself, "All of them are my lucky boys." ”

"Even if I am a fortune boy, why should I give up the true Guanyin and go to the mud bodhisattva?" Wu Xiaozu laughed and teased.

All of them look like hello, hello, hello, everyone. Open and close the mouth to compliment, but the substance is not at all. When Wu Xiaozu is a three-year-old child? There are no benefits or benefits at all, do you really think that Wu Xiaozu is a good classmate who sacrifices himself for others? If you can make money, why should you let you get on the boat?

It's no good, why should Wu Xiaozu go far?

"Haha...... It seems that you are also seen as a fish in water. Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and teased, "Maybe they think that as long as they draw a broad blueprint, they will definitely make you, a new director, ......."

"So the film market is in chaos right now. Those who sell powder, those who mix with clubs, those who open horse fences, and even those who sell popsicles can't wait to get in. It seems that everyone thinks that this line of work is good for money...... Qiu Litao quipped, "Who asked Brother Zu to make you tens of millions of dollars for a small-budget horror film!"

The three of them laughed together.

Taking advantage of Qiu Litao's going downstairs to get tea, Jiang Zhiqiang flipped his palm, "600,000, five or five points?"

"If you give me money for this big pipe, of course I'm not too hot. Otherwise, I can only move my wife!" Wu Xiaozu happily accepted Qiu Litao's investment and share ratio.

With a total investment of 800,000 yuan, the other party will invest 600,000 yuan, and 1024 will naturally invest 200,000 yuan. However, the production share ratio is 55 percent. Making money with other people's money, there is no reason not to agree. From this point of view, Jiang Zhiqiang's big water hose is indeed very bold.

At least he knows how to throw money!

In the production of films, there are undoubtedly very few directors who put all their net worth on filming. Financing is the normal production process.

At the beginning, Wu Xiaozu was forced to put on all his net worth. If possible, he will definitely choose to "borrow a chicken to lay an egg". Unless those chickens are really unreliable.

In film production, the interests of various aspects should be balanced and considered. Production is just part of the story.

Since every filming is a gamble, how can you be sure that you will win?

From Hollywood to Hong Kong Island, there are a few directors who make films and spend money on their own films, and many of them have set up film companies.

Who would gamble on his net worth to make a film? Even if he is the owner of a film company.

Capital itself is a force to be reckoned with in the film market. This is especially true for big productions.

At the same time, Wu Xiaozu does not think that he has an invincible aura, and the movies he makes must be a big hit.

Making a movie is like shaking the color Gu on the gambling table, buying and leaving, no one dares to bet that they will win. Wu Xiaozu is not a god, even if he is a god, he is not a god of gambling.

God can't tell you about such a thing as luck. Therefore, risk sharing is the right thing to do.

The kind of situation where after making money, you will independently bet on one after another to make a big profit, only in obscenity. Silly makes people envy his innocence and innocence.

Is it really delicious to eat alone?

If you don't even understand the equal distribution of interests, how can you get distributors and theaters to support you? A movie has many interests, and Wu Xiaozu doesn't think he can handle them all.

Xu Yu, Xu Guanwen and others are also the same. Xu's Film Company and Film Studio have stronger capital than Wu Xiaozu, but they still need financing for cooperation.

A mature movie goes from production to post-production to distribution, and finally releases, and there are too many cats in it. Sharing benefits and sharing risks is the last word.

Besides, Wu Xiaozu needs Jiang Zhiqiang's support very much now. This is especially true in the case of the three major showing signs of "clearance".

In fact, there are often only two consequences of eating alone.

One, you eat until you vomit.

Two, you vomit after eating.

Wu Xiaozu doesn't like to be passive, so it's better to choose to hug his thighs early.
