Chapter 483: Cooperation with the Stick Film Art Academy
Chungmuro-ro, temporary office of 1024 Locomotive (Seoul) Film Company.
In later generations, Goryeo actors were divided into the Chungmuro school and the Daehae-ro school, which is like the distinction between the North Shadow and the Chinese Opera. Yes
People say that the stars of the Northern Film Industry and the actors of the Chinese Opera Industry.
This is not actually accurate.
Beiying mainly cultivates film-related talents, while Chinese opera cultivates drama-related talents.
It is not possible to say who is superior to whom.
The directing department and photography department of Beijing Film have always occupied half of the mainland films. In terms of personal drama shaping, the Chinese opera performance department is indeed slightly better.
This is roughly the same difference between Chungmuro Road and Daehae-ro Road. When it comes to Chungmu Road, it is a movie, and when it comes to Daxue Road, it is a drama.
At this time, more than 20 film companies in Goryeo were all gathered in Chungmuro, in addition to film equipment companies and movie theaters.
This is the center of Korean cinema.
Inside the viewing room.
Director Wu pressed the end with a smile, and the film stopped at the sentence "I suspect that Gao Jin's wife is not dead...... and stops abruptly.
"God of Gamblers: War Now" was filmed in Goryeo for more than ten days, and the staff in the early stage were very skillful in preparation. Aside from the status of the actors, there weren't too many technical mistakes.
This clip is the rough cut material of the past two days, and it is also a scene where the 'star face' in the film is more concentrated, especially in the local scene in Goryeo.
This is also a clip specially prepared for the studios of several film companies on the scene.
Although it is a rough cut of just a few minutes, the plot is already very coherent, and it has already made everyone watch it with relish, and the little bit of content revealed has aroused the curiosity of these filmmakers.
"God of Gamblers: War Now" is full of impact from the actors' performances to the use of cameras.
A prop is made with the utmost care, and every light is very exquisite.
It is clear that the gap between Korean local films and them is obvious. The gimmick is also well done.
Wu Xiaozu looked around at the few filmmakers below, glanced at Jiang Ershao and Zhang Jiazhen, and showed a slight smile.
"Zhou Yanfa, Wang Zuyuan, Liang Jiahui, and Lin Qingxia all starred?"
"Yes, the star lineup is strong!"
"I feel that this movie is very necessary to be introduced! It must be a big hit!"
"We must win the distribution rights of this movie!"
In the viewing room, several heads of the Korean Film Company discussed the film with their assistants.
They are all knowledgeable people, and they naturally see the commercial value of this movie.
In the drama "God of Gambling: Immediate War", if you want to maximize your benefits, the best way is naturally to increase publicity.
This time he came to Goryeo for more than ten days, and while Wu Xiaozu was immersed in filming, he also asked people to contact the powerful film companies here to promote the drama.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited a few of you here this time to cooperate with you. Before collaborating, let me introduce the film. ”
Wu Xiaozu looked around at these sticks and startled the sticks at the scene when he opened his mouth.
"The pre-investment of the entire film of "God of Gamblers: Immediate War" has exceeded 6.3 billion won. ”
“6…… 300 million?"
"Wow?!"
People from several major film companies at the scene all screamed. The production cost of 6.3 billion, they can't even think of it!
At this time, Gocheten Entertainment Group, END, Shobox, Kang JeGyu, Cinema Service, and CJ E&M, which were some of the most famous production and distribution companies in Goryeo, had not yet been established.
It is also the world of film companies such as East Asia Xinghan, Federation, and Loanquan. Those companies won't be formed until the late 90s. What led to this was the rise of Korean cinema!
At this time, 6.3 billion won...... For these studios here.
It's terrifying!
In 1988, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the Korean won was around 1:181, and 35 million Hong Kong dollars were converted into the Korean won, nearly 6.3 billion won. Not to mention these Goryeo sticks here, the other Hong Kong Island staff are a little dumbfounded.
The three musketeers who led the way, Guo Jae-yong, Park Chan-wook, and Kang Di-gyu, also had bright eyes.
The eyes peeked at the Korean movie counterparts next to him who had never seen the world, and the small breasts were slightly erected without traces, and there was an honor!
Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Jiazhen smiled.
This has been said more than 10 times in Southeast Asia. Now, although the filming of "God of Gamblers: War Now" has not yet started, the distribution work has come to the fore.
Film distribution is a huge project that requires a lot of work. This is especially true for overseas distribution. In the past ten days, after Zhang Jiazhen helped acquire and deal with Huanyu International, he directly pounced on overseas distribution channels.
Fortunately, Hollywood did not notice the primacy of overseas distribution at this time. Even the Big Seven have not completed the integration of resources in the real sense, and have not completely conquered the entire Asian market.
At this time, Hong Kong films are quite capable in Asia!
Especially the super luxurious lineup of this movie and the fame of director Wu!
"Needless to say, the star cast. ”
Director Wu has an understatement posture, and the sense of compulsion is full.
"We have also attracted sponsorship from major international brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Pepsi, Rolex and Casino Lisboa.
They are all very confident in this movie. will cooperate with the promotion of the film in the next time.
The film has sold the rights in many places, and Goryeo ......"
Wu Xiaozu didn't continue, but it didn't speak.
Naturally, he would not tell these people here that the copyright in many places is distributed by E7 Culture Agency.
These people can't find it even if they want to.
Especially since they have already watched the quality of the movie, Wu Xiaozu doesn't believe that they are not moved. If you are really not tempted, you will not go to Hong Kong Island to send money to the door.
The sponsorship of several major brands does have its part, as for the cooperation with the publicity...... Naturally, this treatment is not yet available. The only one who may cooperate with the announcement may be Lisboa, and it is only Miss He's words.
But, it doesn't matter.
The sticks don't know what the ditches are here.
Nowadays, Goryeo's film dealers are not investing much in Hong Kong Island! Instead of cheapening those Hong Kong films that do not learn and have no skills, it is better to put them into the pockets of their "friends of Korea"!
Several filmmakers in the audience swallowed their saliva, looked at each other, and sparks collided.
This feeling is as if someone in later generations called and said: What? Tiananmen Tower is going to be sold? Take it! Whatever you want!
This kind of commercial masterpiece with big cast, big star, and big investment is very marketable in Goryeo.
At this time, Korean films have been quite effective on the literary and artistic route, but commercial films have been proven to be 'this way out'.
Last year, the godfather of Bangzi country's film director Lin Quanze's "Seed Girl" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, and in this play, Jiang Shouyan, who was later nicknamed "Goryeo Gonghuang" by the mainland, also became the most controversial Venice Film Festival actress.
Everyone won the Volpi Trophy for Best Actress, and she returned home with a broken certificate......
It wasn't until later that the Venice Film Festival didn't give a particularly clear statement, and the official website still didn't mark it as 'Volpi Prize'.
Who knows if this actress award is an authentic Venice Film Festival actress. (Mushroom Liang checked the official website of the Venice Film Festival, Nima, and it was not marked.) )
However, this is not to blame Jiang Shouyan, mainly because the operation of the Venice Film Festival is very chaotic, otherwise it will be surpassed by the Cannes Film Festival.
Among the best actresses in the three major European film festivals, Cannes is called the Best Actor and Actress Award in the main competition unit, Berlin is called the Silver Bear, and Venice is called the Volpi Award in the main competition.
So...... Jiang Shouyan really wanted to cry.
The Water City Film Festival is known as the "Thing B Water Film Festival" in the film fan circle in later generations, and has set up a bunch of inexplicable Best Actor and Actress awards, and sometimes the media announcements are inexplicable!
In addition, the eyes of the domestic media are black, and the whole thing is nonsense......
For example, many widow fans swore that they were the queen of Venice!
In fact, she won the Best Actress Award in the Contrarian Unit for "Lost in Translation", not the Volpi Award in the main competition, so Ai Fat Ball is not a Venice actress! No! No!
Naomi Watts is also used to being called the Venetian actress, but her "21 Grams" won the Venice Film Festival Audience Award for Best Actress and Special Award for Women...... It's not a Volpi Award, and it's naturally not an authentic Venice actress.
Susan Sarandon's "Atlantic City" won the Pacinetti Award for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival...... is also not a Venice actress.
Watertown...... Strictly speaking, only those who win the Volpi Award can be regarded as the emperor and queen of Venice.
In the end, after some comparison, in the end, it was the most powerful East Asia Xinghan Film Company that won the cooperation rights of "Gambling God: Immediate War".
The movie is not a buyout.
Since I have the intention to issue it in Goryeo, I naturally will not do a one-shot deal. It's the long stream that's the most important thing.
The reason why I chose this company to cooperate with is because it also has its own branch in Dongying.
For the most special film market in Asia, it is better to have a knowledgeable guide than to turn around by yourself!
Besides.
These studios also received the priority of follow-up investment in "God of Gambling: Now to War", and their dividends are calculated according to box office profits.
Director Wu patted his chest enthusiastically and assured that this film must need follow-up investment!
Box office profits......
In the last part of "Harry Potter", the main characters were originally divided according to the so-called box office profits, Nima ...... Warners made the bottom of the movie fall off.
Whether it is profitable or not depends on whether they withdraw funds and leave in the end, if they are withdrawn, it is easy to say, Wu Xiaozu is very disciplined, everyone will go up the stock market.
If you don't pull ......
When you're pumping, the stock market will go up!
"Director Wu, sure enough, we are good friends of Korean filmmakers!" The Three Musketeers who led the way sighed.
In the past few days, they have followed the crew and feel that they have learned too much knowledge from their teacher Wu Xiaozu.
Even many Korean filmmakers have invited Oh Hyo-jo to the Korea Academy of Film Arts (KAFA) to give lectures to their students.
KAFA is a professional film school established in 1984, which is different from other universities, and is not under the management of the Ministry of Education, but is affiliated with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the funds come from the "Film Development Fund" funded by the government, that is, 3% of the annual box office is the school's allocation.
This academy is not a academic institution, and it recruits newcomers with on-set experience. The nature is very consistent with Director Wu's theory of promoting his own creation.
Wu Xiaozu did not shirk this kind of invitation.
