Wang Jiawei looked expectantly at Director Wu holding a cigarette on the sofa in front of him.
From the beginning of the project of "Mong Kok Carmen", he really felt Wu Xiaozu's care and attention to him all the time.
The concern is really very palpable.
At this moment, he is very glad that the first movie can have a director like Wu Xiaozu as the producer to help him check and help him grow.
And that's exactly what happened.
Producer Wu is really distracted by his movie!
Even the crew paid special attention to the funding of a prop and the time on the shooting schedule, and tirelessly reminded and taught him.
Not to mention that in order to ensure that there are no "accidents" in his shooting, Producer Wu really worked hard, and constantly told himself to shoot in accordance with the central idea of the script, don't be too ambitious, and really did his job of telling him and teaching people tirelessly.
Looking at Wu Xiaozu, who was engrossed in staring at the manuscript of the storyboard and studying it word by word, under the light, his nose was slightly sour, and the corners of his eyes were also particularly moved.
Especially at this moment, looking down from above, a white strand of hair interspersed between the other party's black hair is particularly conspicuous - this must be the mental strength to worry about "Mong Kok Carmen" during this time......
Although the other party does not have the name of a teacher, he has the reality of a teacher.
At this time, Wang Jiawei was not too hypocritical.
The word thank you is no longer enough to express your heart, let alone show your care for yourself.
He secretly made up his mind to shoot "Carmen in Mong Kok" well and not let Wu ...... Teacher disappointed!
"The actor has also been chosen?" Wu Xiaozu raised his head uncomfortably and took off the cigarette on his mouth. happened to see the other party's affectionate eyes, which instantly made Wu Xiaozu hold back the cold in his heart, what are you worried about??!
"Picked, Zu-"
Wang Jiawei looked up to the sky, and sure enough!!! Mr. Wu really had infinite expectations for himself, and he was the most optimistic about himself! Unexpectedly, the actors paid special attention to their choices! Looking at Mr. Wu staring at him, Wang Jiawei sighed in his heart.
In the early days of film creation, I met a teacher who worked hard for his own play, regardless of the cost, but did not speak clearly to himself at all, but just silently cared, how fortunate was it?
That's what a film artist wants!
This is my Wang Jiawei's teacher!
"The actors of this play, I invited Luo Yijian and Zu Xian to play the male and female leads. In addition, Zhang Xueyou and Wan Ziyu were also invited. I think these two fit the characters in my movie very well...... So...... But Wu Lao ...... Brother Zu, do you have a better person to recommend?"
Fit the role?
Wu Xiaozu's mind flashed countless GIFs of 'black fly' snow friends holding their jaws towards their teeth!
It seems that in this life, Brother Wu Fly is still going to become one of the Chinese emoji bearers! Thinking about it like this, Wu Xiaozu is relieved!
As for Luo Dong and Wang Zu Amaranth replacing Andy and Man Shen, there is no need to worry. After all, this movie is produced by its own company, and it is also a matter of choosing its own artists.
Moreover, Luo Dong's acting skills at this time are not bad compared with Andy, and his popularity is far more than a lot. After all, Luo Dong already has a big selling series, and Andy is just a little fresh meat in the film industry...... Not to mention box office appeal.
In this life, "Carmen in Mong Kok" is not much different from the previous life in terms of script and actors, and even better in the configuration of the crew such as cameras, plus there is a personal check, so there will be no accidents-
After all, "Mong Kok Carmen" is Wang Jiawei's only film that makes money at the box office in the city. Wu Xiaozu was very afraid that he would get rid of himself. After all, the cost of this movie is also two or three million.
It's not money, huh??
Since 1988, the production cost of Hong Kong films has increased exponentially. Fortunately, "God of Gamblers" determined the team before and signed the filming contract, otherwise, if it really moved to this year, it is estimated that there will be at least a third increase in investment.
The suspension of the filming of "God of Gamblers" was a long-planned plan. On the one hand, Mecca's "Prison Storm" needs to be promoted by Fa Ge, which Wu Xiaozu can't stop. On the other hand, with the arrival of the New Year, Fa Ge, the newlywed Yan'er, has to take turns to pay New Year's greetings according to the customs of both parties......
"God of Gamblers" is not destined to be filmed in a short time, and Wu Xiaozu has also made a complete shooting plan. Of course, the rising cost of filming is also the main reason why Wu Xiaozu did not dare to film full-time under the reckless pressure of the actors.
Wu Xiaozu knows that next, Hong Kong films will enter a big production gamble.
Countless big productions will appear one after another. There is even a farce of a new director who has a movie with gratifying box office results, and in the next scene, there is a farce in which a big water throat waving a check of 30 or 40 million to find him to film.
In the previous life, "The True Story of A Fei" and "A Knife in the City" appeared on this premise on this kind of pit feast that cannot make ends meet.
If a company wants to grow, it must set foot in the distribution industry.
Wu Xiaozu now also needs to transform the company from a simple production company to a comprehensive film company that focuses on production and distribution. At this point, it is also the reason for the establishment of Stellar Entertainment.
In this circle, you can never fight a gang alone!
The reason why Wu Xiaozu fought alone was because he lacked background in the circle before. But as he takes root in the circle, he needs to add more fresh blood to enrich the company.
Film library, this is the profit point that Wu Xiaozu cares about very much.
In later generations, Shaw Brothers' film library brought tens of millions of profits to it every year!
"Mong Kok Carmen" is the top priority of the company's next development. At that time, Lokomotiv Films will be solely responsible for the distribution of the film.
It's also a thousand dollars to buy horse bones!
Even, if possible, Wu Xiaozu needs to support more new directors to impact the inherent pattern.
This time, the "constraints" of Xinbao Cinema also made him quite passive.
Although, Wu Xiaozu knows. As more and more hot money enters the film market, Hong Kong Island's argument that only the cinema chain is supreme is really not worth mentioning.
The ability to issue is an important element that can really determine the development space in the past two years.
Lokomotiv Films needs to have its own allies in the foreign market!Dongying, Korea, Malacca, Malaysia, Savadika...... This is the next distribution network to be weaved.
In later generations, Hollywood proved the importance of distribution with naked interests! A perfect distribution network is worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars! It can be seen how Dongying was pitted by the six major in later generations!
"Hot Money ......"
Nowadays, Hong Kong films are very popular, and foreign funds continue to pour in. Wu Xiaozu wanted to take this opportunity to improve his context. At the same time, it seems that it can also be pitted...... Forehead...... Scamming ...... Raise more money for the film!
"Brother Zu - the foreign film dealers have arrived. ”
At the door, Su Liyao came over to inform.
Hearing this, Wu Xiaozu showed a kind smile.
