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

The matter of Wu Xiaozu's charity film fund was handed over to Zheng Zhongjian, Su Liyao and others. This foundation will not be able to be set up in a moment.

However, he did not coax Hou Xiaoyuan, and let Jiang Zhiqiang soon start reviewing the production process of the movie "City of Sadness".

As 1024 Lokomotiv Film Company has grown, the company's internal review process for scripts and films has also been on the right track. At the same time, the company's editorial and creative department also began to create or incorporate some scripts to enrich the company's script library.

There is no shortage of young people who come to Wu Xiaozu with the script to try their luck, but fortunately, no one shouts evilly: I don't want the script!

Otherwise, Wu Xiaozu really thought that he was living in someone else's script.

Golden Harvest, New Art City, Debao, and 1024 Locomotive all have their own script libraries.

New Art City was a collective creation back then, but after the struggle of the 7-member group parted, the script also moved towards regularization. Huang Baiming himself is very talented, but in fact, many of the scripts marked with his name are only led by him in many cases, and then the screenwriter below is responsible for perfecting the story.

At this time, the routines and follow-ups of movie scripts are obvious, and in comparison, the screenwriters of 1024 Locomotive are the best-paid ones.

"Except for Ah Dong, "City of Sadness" is an actor chosen by Hou Xiaoyuan himself, and the salary is very low. I'll fly to Wanwan next week, and Hou Xiaoyuan has set the filming location for this drama in Jiufen, and I want to go and see it in person. ”

Jiang Zhiqiang looked at Li Xiufen, the secretary next to Wu Xiaozu, "Ah Fen will follow me as a production assistant first, and then exercise and exercise, it should be no problem." ”

"Okay, Mr. Jiang. Li Xiufen closed the information and nodded in thanks.

"Thank you boss, he is very optimistic about you, and constantly gives you opportunities to train you. ”

Jiang Ershao crossed his little short legs and shook back and forth, "Azu, I really admire you for this, and I am willing to give these young people a chance." Ah Fen won't talk about it, he started to enter the production department from the secretary, Ah Guo, that guy, you directly let him be in charge of the marketing department, it's really courageous. ”

Yu Weiguo has now become the head of the company's marketing department, responsible for market research, data collation, film promotion, market analysis, etc., and has become a senior executive of the company in one fell swoop.

This time, "City of Sadness" was established.

Li Xiufen, the secretary of Tuchou, was also "actively" recommended by Wu Xiaozu to join the production team of this drama as an assistant director of production. Of course, it is Jiang Zhiqiang who coordinates the overall situation.

Without Jiang Zhiqiang in charge, Wu Xiaozu did not dare to let himself go.

"Didn't we also grow up as rookies? In the first two years, when we ran the theater, you and I had to go to the theater owners for everything...... Without giving them a chance, they will never grow.

My philanthropic film fund is to nurture film talents, but it can't suppress our internal talents. Wu Xiaozu's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he said righteously.

Hearing this, Jiang Ershao was in awe.

Li Xiufen, the ugly secretary of the ugly earth, was also moved, and this opportunity was tantamount to soaring for her.

Looking at the ugly secretary with tears in his eyes, Wu Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief...... Damn, a broken secretary, forcing himself to play the set of rising and descending!

Female secretaries are not the same as male secretaries, they belong to professions with uncertain ceilings.

Or just stand still...... Or just soar to the boss woman.

Li Xiufen can't.

It's too much of an eyesore to keep around!The second one really can't be spoken...... I can only give her a high promotion!

The filming cost of the drama "City of Sadness" was about $180,000, and the cost of the film was also tightly controlled at $200,000 after the cost of post-production.

Don't say win or not!

For Wu Xiaozu, the moment he didn't get the trophy, everything was empty talk. His investment in this movie is a gamble that Hou Xiaoyuan can make an excellent movie.

Any business is gambling, and film investment is even more so!

Many times, in the preparation of the movie, choose an actor who is just popular, and you don't know if he suddenly hit the street in a scene he shot before, making the whole movie cool......

He didn't pay more money to Hou Xiaoyuan because he cherished him artistically, so that he could shoot more exquisitely, or whatever—there was no need for that!

Hou Xiaoyuan is a person like Wang Jiawei, he doesn't have too much money you give, and he can give you a clean flower......

Since they have taken the path of art, the hardships of life can inspire them to create.

Moreover.

Hou Xiaoyuan's film doesn't need to be very refined from that day on.

This "City of Sadness" actually has a feeling of "recording" in it, the storyboard script on the other party's script is full of fixed long shot designs, and Wu Xiaozu is confused, if it is not Hou Xiaoyuan, if it is another person, Wu Xiaozu will not give him a penny.

Hou loses money, but there is still one thing

Roughness, stagnation, and freeze frame are his unique style, coupled with a mouth of Wanwan accent, although dull, it is also considered petty bourgeoisie...... It's better than the Wanwan dialect of Yishui in "Nie Yinniang".

Wanwan actors, Wanwan cavity restricts them.

In terms of oral confession, the gap between them is indeed very large. Don't ask them to be like British actors, with a special distinction between British and American accents, at least they have to enter the play......

Thinking of this—

"Ah Fen, you can fly to Wanwan after you finish handing over the work. This time, learn more, see more, talk less. ”

Wu Xiaozu hung his head, didn't look at his ugly secretary, and flipped through the Ming history materials in his hand.

Recent.

He has already obtained the copyright of "Dragon Gate Inn" from Shaw Brothers, and also found the master tape of the movie to watch. At the same time, he also began to work on his own draft script.

This drama can be regarded as a new attempt by leaps and bounds.

The pure martial arts style is now a big pit, and the only thing that may be worse than him may be Xianxia fantasy, a "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" makes no one in Hong Kong dare to touch this theme anymore.

Martial arts TV series have been very popular in the past two years, because most of them are popular IP adaptations of martial arts. It is becoming more and more difficult to have a market for pure martial arts original stories. The main reason is that in the 60s and 70s, this group of big directors filmed martial arts to a desperate height, and then filmed ...... It's all about picking up people's teeth, and even picking up people's teeth and wisdom can't be picked up.

Otherwise, Xu Yi would not have looked for Hu Jinquan to shoot "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

Costume martial arts, these two themes in one, Wu Xiaozu has never been exposed to before, which can be regarded as a challenge and expansion.

He wasn't afraid of bad shooting, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to shoot what he wanted.

reversed his status, and always had his own film style and philosophy. This drama will be Wu Xiaozu's version of 'Dragon Gate'.

But that's all for later.

Today, the script is not perfect, and the characterization is not complete. It all takes one step at a time.

"I see, boss. ”

Liu Xiufang paused and said, "Boss, do you want to transfer a clerk from the administration department to serve as your secretary first?"

"Not for the time being~"

Wu Xiaozu firmly refused, then groaned again, and said: "It doesn't make much sense to temporarily transfer one over as a secretary, but it will be troublesome in the future." I remember that the Human Resources Department was recently recruiting to add a secretary and life assistant. Be sure to let the human resources department go through the formal company process to ensure professionalism. Especially secretaries. Not to mention having the ability of Ah Fen, you must at least understand these things, preferably from a professional background. The assistant could have relaxed a little ......"

He was really afraid that Wang Xianxian's long legs would arrange people in his office again, and the other party was not scheming...... The ability of the arranger really makes him unable to find fault.

At the beginning, when he saw Li Xiufen for the first time, his head was buzzing......

If you want to come to the human resources side and hear your own arrangement, you shouldn't bend the law for personal gain!

"Okay, boss. Li Xiufen was very happy in her heart, she was indeed very grateful to Wu Xiaozu for his promotion.

When she first heard some "unspoken rules in the workplace" talked about by her colleagues, she was worried for several days, only to find out later that her boss was really approachable, and she didn't have that kind of mind at all, and she was an absolute gentleman.

The only bad thing is that she rarely laughs - many people say that her boss is a tiger who smiles all the time, which is pure rumor, and she has never seen her boss smile at her...... It's clear that it's very serious every time.

"By the way, boss, your home return permit has been processed. ”

As he spoke, he handed a small notebook to Wu Xiaozu.

"It is valid for ten years, and each border crossing needs to go through customs. Previously, there was a rumor in Guangdong Province that the computer barcode was going to be posted, but it has not yet been officially implemented. In accordance with your instructions, I sent invitation letters to Mr. Wu, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Gu in the name of our company, and they also sent some faxes to send some information from there...... After the communication, they will be able to come to Hong Kong around the middle of this month. ”

Martial arts movies must involve the issue of filming in the mainland.

For a rainy day.

Wu Xiaozu instructed the company in advance to handle the "home return permits" of some of the members of his royal team.

At this time, it is very convenient for Hong Kong people to return to the mainland, and it is also very popular.

However, it is very troublesome for the mainland to come to Hong Kong.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu was on the "XX Daily" because of the Palme d'Or, and sent them an invitation letter in the name of the company's study and inspection.

However, the wait is long...... No way, who made us more numerous.

In order to shoot this martial arts drama well, Wu Xiaozu needs to shoot on location and communicate with mainland filmmakers.

In particular, Wu Tianming said that he would borrow the army...... Wu Xiaozu's heart is itching.

In any case, martial arts movies are also a very representative business card of Chinese films.

I didn't watch the later generations of Li Amine have to shoot a martial arts version of "Sense and Sensibility" to turn over, at the beginning, that movie, foreigners either used it as a science fiction film, or watched it purely as a literary film.

Really for the Dahua-speaking area, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not a pure martial arts movie, at most a martial arts film.

The martial arts feelings shown in this movie are not as good as Lao Mouzi's "Hero......

It's a pity that Lao Mouzi was sprayed into at the beginning.

Looking back more than ten years later, "Hero" should be regarded as a masterful work in the history of Chinese cinema, or in the history of world cinema. In addition to Lao Mouzi's consistent weak story, from the picture, color, music, fight scenes, the theme of the film is well completed, and even if you look back at the support, it's not really weak, okay, it's really weak.

For Wu Xiaozu, martial arts movies are a very accurate business card for Chinese films, and he will not give up. Moreover, the theme of martial arts films is also a big treasure, and it is also a project with great market prospects in the next few years, so he will naturally not miss it.
