Mecca glanced at Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian behind Wu Xiaozu, said hello, and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Jiang Sheng has business to be busy these two days, and he is not on Hong Kong Island. β
Wu Xiaozu helped Jiang Jiahua pull up the chair, stretched out his hand to introduce Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian, and explained with a smile with Mecca, "President Jiang arranged for Jiang Sheng to take over the work of Antai Pictures, and he has been traveling around the world recently. This time, the relevant matters of the film shooting are all in charge of Jiahua. β
Hearing this, Mecca nodded, and stopped asking...
The Jiang family is not a big family on Hong Kong Island, but it is also deeply rooted in the film industry. Jiang Zuyi, an old fox, began to get involved in film distribution in the 50s and 0s, and traveled to Europe and the United States and other countries all year round.
Sixty or seventy percent of the screenings of Western films on Hong Kong Island are from his handiwork.
In terms of the share of western films, the Jiang family has a lot of weight.
Otherwise, the location of the Hong Kong Island Theater would not be Jiang Zuyi's turn to sit.
"Jiahui is really blessed, Miss Jiang is beautiful and capable. Mecca smiled and teased Jiang Jiahua sincerely, "In the past, I envied Xu Yi the most in the film industry, but now it seems that there is another Shi Nansheng ......"
"Mai sir is polite, Miss Shi is the real woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go. β
Jiang Jiahua smiled a little politely but not politely. She doesn't like others to use "Liang Jiahui" to make fun of her, even if the other party has no malicious intent.
Recently, Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang have been negotiating with Xinyicheng, to be precise, with Mecca about new drama cooperation.
It is true that Jiang Zhiqiang himself took over Antai, but this time he left to rush to Wanwan for the box office share of "The Birth of a Word", and at the same time talked to Cai Songlin about some obscure things.
Wu Xiaozu naturally would not tell Mecca the truth.
β¦
Wu Xiaozu's new drama investment amount exceeds 10 million yuan, and Hong Kong Island at this time is already in the category of big productions.
Many people know that the "Best Partner" series has a high box office, but I am afraid it is not clear how much benefit this movie brings.
As of "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", the box office of the four "Best Partners" on Hong Kong Island is 2 million, 23 million, 29 million, and 27 million respectively. Among them, 982-984 local port three consecutive championships.
In 85, due to internal constraints and interest problems, filming was not continued, and at the same time, the "four consecutive championships" of the new art city also became a bubble. In 98, the fourth part directed by Lin Lingdong also won a score of 27 million.
The total box office of the four films in Hong Kong Island exceeded 100 million, and the revenue of distribution in other ports, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States exceeded the box office of Hong Kong. Therefore, the "Best Partner" series alone has created at least more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Countless related companies and individuals have profited from it.
Of course, movie value and profit are not the same. But under the base of such a huge number, the profits of the Golden Princess and the new art city are also rich enough.
Any film company that makes a big-budget movie will not be stupid enough to take risks alone, let alone pay out of pocket to make a film.
Mecca is an excellent actor, director, and at the same time a cunning businessman. For this big cast. Big investment, Mecca himself is not only enthusiastic, but also extremely good at it. "Best Partner" was established in his hands.
The investment behind it was also completed by him and Shi Nansheng teaming up to pull Lang Pei. Mecca's risk-sharing is a breeze.
Wu Xiaozu's new play: The investment in "The Deadly Heroes" is expected to be 10 million.
With its senior resources and status, Mecca easily raised millions of dollars from some film brokers, Hong Kong Island or Bay studios.
This is the wrist of an insider, and it is also the foundation of the new art city.
It is easy to integrate the lineup of Wu Xiaozu + Zhou Yunfa + Liang Jiahui + Luo Yijian, and quickly put the funds in place.
The Hong Kong Island film industry knows best this kind of sassy operation, and later generations will also be this kind of self-righteous handicraft workshop-style capital operation, showing off their own blood.
Wu Xiaozu does not understand capital operation, but Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian are responsible for business negotiations and relevant legal regulations. He didn't want to make a movie by himself, because the rules were not clear, and he was caught up in the trap of Mecca.
"New Art City invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and after the project is established, I will send the company's finance to connect with Miss Jiang for relevant accounts. β
Mecca took a bite of green vegetables, chewed and asked with a smile, "After the funds are in place, when will you start playing?"
A few days ago, Mecca received Wu Xiaozu's script and related shooting preparations, and he was very satisfied with this perfect advance work. He also didn't want to invest millions of dollars to go out and play for the water.
"It's about a month going to take me there. Wu Xiaozu put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and asked casually, "I don't know if Fa Ge's schedule is empty?"
"Peace of mind...... The day after tomorrow, "Dragon and Tiger" will be released, I hope Azu can cheer you on. When the time comes, let's talk about this new drama with Fa Zai in detail. β
Mecca looked at Wu Xiaozu and pointed to a table of dishes with a smile, "Patronize and chat, eat the dishes first." Business is never done. The specific details of Miss Jiang, Mr. Zheng and the people of our company have discussed again. β
Wu Xiaozu glanced at Jiang Jiahua and Zheng Zhongjian and nodded at the two.
Mecca got the script some time ago and immediately couldn't put it down.
Huang Baiming, who knows the most about screenwriting in Xinyicheng, is full of praise for the story of Wu Xiaozu's new play.
The story is very clichΓ©, it is undoubtedly the story of the confrontation between police and bandits, but the setting is eye-catching!
"Deadly Heroes"!
The main storyline of this play refers to Wu Baige's "science fiction" blockbuster - "Changing Face".
For this movie full of poetry and blood, Wu Xiaozu's favorite is the character setting of identity swapping and confrontation with each other. This setting also imbues the film with a sense of romantic violence.
The identities of the cops and robbers are reversed, and they both have to deal with everything with the faces of their enemies, which is cool and fun.
Wu Xiaozu naturally didn't want to shoot a science fiction film. is the same as Wu Yusen who made "Changing Face" into a Hong Kong film. Wu Xiaozu only needs to keep the story synopsis and core of the movie in his previous life, and shoot a "Killing Heroes" that belongs to himself.
Two heroes!
A confrontation between men and men, since the release of "The True Color of Heroes", this kind of male and male scenes have been deeply liked by the majority of fans. Countless movies full of male and female affection have appeared like a trend.
This is the case with "The True Story of Heroes" and "Yi Gai Yuntian". And each one is very good at the box office.
This kind of theme of the two heroes has endured for generations to come.
Wu Xiaozu had a bold idea in his heart. In his heart, he intends to continue this "double hero" type core into a classic IP.
This kind of series will not have a relationship between the past and the future, but the core will be attributed to the category of "two heroes". It's like "Eavesdropping".
The first part can talk about confrontation and responsibility, and the second part can talk about feelings and brothers. In short, as long as new value is given, the two-hero film will endure.
"The Deadly Heroes" has an investment amount of 0 million, but in fact, the actor is paid a lot.
The reason why Wu Xiaozu is determined to start the play with Zhou Runfa is not that Zhou Runfa is essential. Wu Xiaozu's movies are indispensable only for himself.
The main reason is that there is an investment of tens of millions in this drama, and in Hong Kong Island today, there are only a handful of actors who can shoulder such a big investment. Count it carefully, that is, Cheng Long, Zhou Yanfa, Xu Guanjie, Hong Jinbao, and Xu Guanwen.
Such as Zhang Guolu, Lin Zhengying, Yuan Biao, Di Hui, Lin Zixiang and other big stars, although the box office has been good in the past two years, they still can't afford to invest tens of millions of dollars in such big projects.
In terms of actresses, it is estimated that the only female stars who can really monoclonically resist the name of the film and have box office appeal are Lin Qingxia and Zhong Chuhong. Yang Ziqiong is still slightly inferior at the moment.
As for Liu Dehua, who has no acting skills, can only pretend to be handsome, staring at the face paralyzed, and has little fresh meat vase, he is not as strong as Luo Yijian, and has more box office appeal.
Chen Haonan's charm should not be underestimated!
During this time at 024 Locomotive Film Studio, in addition to Wu Xiaozu preparing a new play, the script of "Crazy Boy 2" is also being written.
For the filming of "Crazy Boy", Wu Xiaozu will not have the slightest sense of conscience condemnation, and as for the idea of thinking about minors, it is not within the scope of Wu Xiaozu's thinking.
Of course, even if Wu Xiaozu's conscience found out, Xiang 13 would not agree!
At the same time, people with hearts are also eyeing this gold mine!
