Chapter 890: Mythological Drama "Journey to the West"
(FFF: You get the idea!)
The Chinese New Year is actually 'busy leisure'. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Why does it look laid-back, everyone is on vacation, everyone has a smile on their faces, even if they are in a bad mood, they will not show an ugly face these days.
However, after the New Year, everyone will find that in fact, this leisurely day is also spent in a busy time, busy with relatives and friends, busy visiting relatives, and busy giving New Year's greetings and gifts.
Wu Cheng is also busy like this, although his own family has no relatives other than his uncle's family, but if there are more wives, there will naturally be more mother's family.
On the first day of junior high school, he took his wife and children out to visit the temple fair, watched the dragon dance, lion dance, crowded people for a long time, and in the afternoon he directly took his second daughter who wanted to go home and went home together.
In the second year of junior high school, he took his wife and children back to his wife's mother's house to pay New Year's greetings to his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, there are only Zhao Yazhi and Susan, as well as Pan Yingzi.
Lin Qingxia's parents still stayed in their hometown in the mainland and did not come back, and this year has also been spent there.
As for the other girlfriends' homes, you can wait a few days.
On the third day of junior high school, he took the family to the uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings to the uncle.
The tight schedule made Wu Chengdu feel that the New Year was really not fun.
In the evening, it was the time when the premiere of the "Shaolin Temple" movie was held.
At this premiere, Wu Cheng directly threw it to Zhang Xinyan and the lion-headed Cen Jianxun to worry about.
However, what makes Wu Cheng a little headache is that Cen Jianxun, the lion head, still has nothing to do to participate in politics. Isn't it good to be a star and a theater manager? You have to be strong, it's really speechless. You must know that he, the big boss, is obviously 'pro-mainland'!
Why did the British Government in Hong Kong delay conferring knighthood on Wu Cheng? With Wu Cheng's current prestige and status, there would certainly be no problem in getting a casual lord. But since that time he lost his 'Ten Outstanding Young Persons', everything else seems to have disappeared.
However, Wu Cheng is also a little unimpressed by this, and it doesn't matter to him whether these titles are or not. Those who like him don't like him because he doesn't have those titles, and those who hate him don't like him because of those titles.
He is a very clear 'pro-Chinaist', and he has long expressed his stance with Prince Charles on the issue of Xiangjiang's return. In fact, even if he doesn't express his position, what if he doesn't express his position? The return of Xiangjiang is inevitable, and that chief designer is a great man of a generation, so how can he make concessions on the issue of national sovereignty?
In fact, many people can see this, otherwise how could Wu Cheng easily make the movie "Shaolin Temple" in the mainland? Can those soldiers come to help? Can he still get in touch with those leaders in Kyoto? Or even meet with the chief designer?
In fact, the authorities on the treasure island know some about it, but they just turn a blind eye.
Both the mainland and the treasure island are now working hard for economic construction. Businessmen like Wu Cheng are of use to them.
Everyone knows this, and Wu Cheng himself understands it.
As for whether people will unload the mill and kill the donkey afterwards, Wu Cheng is not too worried. The mainland still needs to have a little face, as long as he doesn't do anything excessive, it is not so easy to move him. As for the treasure island...... In fact, the treasure island is better to solve than the mainland.
In less than ten years, the world of the J family on the treasure island will be wiped out, and in the next short period of time, it will be full of all kinds of black and gold politics, and even some people who were mixed with black can transform themselves into rulers in a grand manner, what else can money not do?
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary to worry about being unloaded and killing a donkey.
But the premise is not to get involved in any politics casually, so as not to be true. However, Cen Jianxun, the lion head, just didn't listen to persuasion. He has his own set of ideas in his heart, and this set of ideas is obviously different from Wu Cheng's. Wu Cheng's idea is a little more negative, he doesn't need to think about other people, as long as he doesn't get angry.
But this lion's head is more active, and he is not worried about burning himself at all.
So Wu Cheng was thinking about whether it would be better to transfer him to another place and not stay in Xiangjiang.
"Boss, Boss Zou and Mr. He are here!"
The task of welcoming guests at the door was handled by Zhang Xinyan, the assistant director, with newcomers such as Li Lianjie and Zhen Dan, while Wu Cheng took Yu Hai and Yu Chenghui to receive the stars who came one after another in the theater. Zhao Yazhi, Deng Lijun, and Lin Qingxia are also among those female stars and some noble ladies, and all three of them are here today.
The occasion when the three of them appeared together with Wu Cheng had not appeared for a long time.
was busy, Cen Jianxun sent someone in to inform Wu Cheng.
Although with Wu Cheng's current status, there is no need to go out to greet Boss Zou and them in person, but Wu Cheng still has a heart of respect for the elderly and goes out to greet them.
Speaking of which, Old Man Zou is now quite 'miserable', originally he should have been a strong soldier under him, but now he has become his 'subordinate', only Wu Baige is still mixed under him...... But now it's almost a dead end.
I heard that he is ready to start filming "Eight Colored Lin Yazhen".
This drama is his Waterloo, and the original time and space should have appeared in 82. Although it is only February 81, Wu Cheng is not surprised at all, because this time and space has been a little messy because of his appearance, especially in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Even if this "Colorful Lin Yazhen" does not become his Waterloo in the future, but has a hot and popular scene, Wu Cheng will be surprised at most, and will not be too shocked.
As for the original idea of letting Wu Baige direct the film "The True Color of Heroes", Wu Cheng has long since gone out. Even if Wu Baige loses in this film next, it is estimated that Jiahe will not release people easily, because once Wu Baige is abandoned, the director on his side may be in a state of disappointment, and Jiahe will definitely not do such a stupid thing.
Today's Jiahe is not the Jiahe of the original time and space. In the original time and space, Jiahe had the brothers of Hong Jinbao, the Xu brothers, and the Shenglong tree, and it was normal to be willful.
"Boss Zou, Happy New Year! It's been a long time, thank you for coming!"
Wu Cheng smiled and said to Lao Zou and his deputy He Guanchang.
"Today's young people are really amazing!" Lao Zou sighed lightly, "I really can't accept the old man! I heard that this movie, your Donglong International has adopted the method of global release, this publicity fee must have spent a lot! Are you not afraid that you will not be able to recover the cost in the future?"
Why did Wu Cheng want to stab Lao Zou every time he saw him? Not for anything else, just because this old man, like Shao Daheng, always likes to rely on the old man and sell the old in front of him, as if this is not enough, it is not enough to show their old qualifications.
However, Wu Cheng can somewhat understand why they are like this, and they can't let these old-timers bow their heads in front of the juniors and admit that they are not as good as his juniors!
This little face, they must be holding it.
Therefore, Wu Chengquan didn't seem to hear it, and said with a smile, "It's not much, it's only cost about $30 million so far, and the follow-up publicity after the movie is released, it may cost $40 million!
Soon, Wu Cheng found that after the two old men heard this, the corners of their lips couldn't help but twitch secretly, probably because they were stimulated!
For a film, the publicity fee alone costs 40 million US dollars, which is US dollars! When converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is almost 200 million.
The filming only took about 15 million Hong Kong dollars! In fact, just the publicity fee is more than ten times the cost of shooting, is there such a loser?
Of course, Wu Cheng's words are somewhat watery. Because he also included the copy fee in the publicity fee. You know, the copy fee is not cheap at all.
In North America, a copy is calculated at 20,000 US dollars, and a thousand theaters are 20 million US dollars. And this number must be only high, not low.
Because this "Shaolin Temple" is in North America, but there are 1,500 theaters.
A $3 million investment in a movie that costs $10 million in publicity money may seem like a lot. But in fact, 10 million dollars, it is really not easy to get global publicity. The follow-up publicity fee will definitely be added.
In the future, even if it exceeds 20 million in publicity expenses, it is not unusual.
Of course, this is the result of not taking into account the copy fee.
Therefore, Wu Cheng's words directly made these two old men angry.
They Jiahe worked hard for a year, and they couldn't earn this number, but he was good, such a huge amount was smashed into the promotion of a movie at once.
If this movie does not have 600 million Hong Kong dollars at the global box office, then this film is a loss-making business, and this kid can still laugh.
Thinking about it like this, the two old people are in a much better mood, this kid is dying!
Thinking that Wu Cheng was dying again, the mood of the two was surprisingly much better.
After Lao Zou, Lei Jiekun, an old fox, also came, as well as Yongsheng's boss Xiang Shi and Shao Daheng and other bosses of film and television companies.
Speaking of which, Lao Zou, Xiang Shi, and Wu Siyuan are still one of the directors of the Xiangjiang Academy of Arts! Shao Daheng withdrew, Lei Jiekun withdrew, and Deng Guanrong withdrew, and their shares were all taken over by Wu.
Therefore, Wu Cheng is still the majority shareholder of the Hong Kong Academy of Arts.
"Ah Cheng, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity!"
Fourth Brother Li brought his family to support Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng held hands and said to him in a low voice: "Are you ready to enter the real estate industry this year? I heard that the negotiations over there are about to start!"
