rising director

"Hua Tsai, make arrangements first. I'll go to Huanyu Movies in the afternoon and talk to Lin Xiaoming about something. I'll be there in the evening."

"Well, I'll wait for you. Call me when you come. I'll pick you up."

The main purpose of going to Huanyu Movies is Su Ya's confession to Wan Xiaohu, mainly to discuss with Lin Xiaoming and cooperate to expand the sales channels of audio-visual products in the mainland.Dandelion is currently focusing on acquiring Golden Harvest, but Golden Harvest has a good distribution ability overseas in Asia.The mainland is much less so.

In the current mainland market, due to piracy, the film market has withered, and it is supported by a few blockbuster films.Therefore, the importance of audio-visual products is particularly prominent. For example, the box office of "Infernal Affairs 2" in the mainland is only 2500 million yuan, and the box office in Hong Kong is only 2600 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the profit from selling DVD copyrights, it is much lower.

We all know that theater box office is the foundation of the film market, but if the country does not step up efforts to crack down on piracy, and does not introduce more blockbuster visual effects, the film market will not be able to recover.Wan Xiaohu knows that it will take at least two or three years before the film market in the mainland will truly flourish. Now, discs are king.

Wan Xiaohu and Lin Xiaoming drank afternoon tea together, and the team they brought had an exchange on distribution channels and signed several joint development agreements.

After the tea was finished and the contract was signed, Lin Xiaoming smiled and said, "Brother, I'll have dinner at home tonight, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some seasonal side dishes."

"I accept my brother's wishes, but I have already made an appointment with Hua Tsai tonight. I will go to HPPY with Hua Tsai tonight. I will invite my brother another day."

"Then it's settled, I won't bother you, brother, to have fun."

Leaving Huanyu Cinema, Wan Xiaohu took a taxi and rushed to the clubhouse.

Along the way, the driver kept looking at Wan Xiaohu with indescribable meaning in his eyes.

It made Wan Xiaohu really afraid that he might encounter a pervert.

"Now the status is delicate, assistants, drivers are not fixed, and bodyguards are not in place. This is not good! After a while, I will not be busy. First of all, these three positions must be fully matched, and confidantes must be cultivated to ensure that I basic necessities of life and security!"

Now Wan Xiaohu is a billionaire, and it is still calculated in US dollars. When Shanda goes public, several hundred million dollars will be at his fingertips. He will definitely be a world-class rich man.

Just as he was thinking about it, the driver suddenly spoke in broken Mandarin: "May I ask you, are you Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Infernal Affairs"?"

"I think you've got the wrong person." Wan Xiaohu shook his head dejectedly.

Obviously, I thought too much, this uncle is not a pervert, but a fan of himself.However, in order to avoid the hassle of having to sign, Wan Xiaohu still denied it.

At the same time, I sighed, alas, people are so popular, there is no room for freedom wherever they go.

"cut."

The driver interrupted Wan Xiaohu's obsession in time, muttering: "It's not Wan Xiaohu, what kind of star are you pretending to be, the sun is gone in the sky, and you are scaring someone with your sunglasses stuck on your face."

"Eh." Wan Xiaohu pushed the large toad mirror on his face, feeling very uncomfortable.

After arriving at the place and paying the money, Wan Xiaohu walked away without looking back, which is embarrassing.After meeting Liu Dehua, Wan Xiaohu was still brooding.Liu Dehua knew that Wan Xiaohu didn't like too much trouble.So at night, without calling a few people, he brought his wife Zhu Liqian, Zheng Xiu, and Zeng Zhiwei.

"Xiaohu, long time no see, you look good." Zeng Zhiwei happily patted Wan Xiaohu on the shoulder.

At the beginning, Wan Xiaohu spoke up and settled the matter of Zeng Zhiwei's beating.The other party apologized and also paid for the tea, which made Zeng Zhiwei very grateful.

Wan Xiaohu and Zeng Zhiwei laughed a little: "Uncle Zeng looks good too." Then he smiled at Zhu Liqian and Zheng Xiu, "Sister-in-law, sm fans (Zheng Xiu's famous name), hello."

The clubhouse is a private clubhouse, opened by Liu Dehua's friends, so if you gather in it, you won't be disturbed.

They sat down and chatted.

Liu Dehua asked the waiter to bring over some beer.Then he asked Wan Xiaohu: "How is it? How is the filming of "Wanted" going?"

"The interior scenes are all filmed, and now I'm doing some exterior scenes, and the filming should be over in half a month."

"Do you have any plans to release it?"

"I don't know yet. The release is handed over to Paramount. It depends on the progress of the final special effects. It is estimated that it will be at the end of this year. Let's catch up with the Christmas file."

"It's released in mainland China at this time. It didn't collide with Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu"."

Wan Xiaohu wondered: "Will Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" also be released at the end of this year?"

"Yes, I have to remind Zhou Xingchi. Be careful to avoid it, and don't be hit by the "Wanted Warrant"."

""Kung Fu" is also a blockbuster that is highly anticipated. I just hope that "Wanted" won't be knocked over. I will prepare it ahead of time." Wan Xiaohu said half-truthfully.

"Kung Fu" is one of Master Xing's masterpieces, so it goes without saying that it has great appeal in mainland China. Wan Xiaohu has confidence in "Wanted".But head-to-head is not the work of smart people. If they are screened together, the gains outweigh the losses in the end.At that time, either "Kung Fu" will adjust the schedule, or "Wanted Warrant" will adjust the schedule.

To be honest, there is a great possibility that "Kung Fu" will adjust its schedule.It's not that Wan Xiaohu is bullying Stephen Chow, if it is really going to be released at the same time, the number of films "Wanted" is definitely several times that of "Kung Fu".Dandelion is also an entertainment giant in the mainland, and the leaders of radio and television often come to drink, and the relationship is not just talked about casually.

Master Xing is well-known, but his connections are poor. The year before last, "Shaolin Soccer" hadn't even been screened in the mainland.

In China, this is the national conditions.

As an insider in the industry, Wan Xiaohu knows it well.

How did the domestic film protection month come about? It was originally a handwriting of radio and television. In order to complete the proportion of domestic film box office, when domestic blockbusters are released, they will be escorted all the way, and a foreign film will not be released.When the domestic films are over, leave it for a month or two, let Hollywood blockbusters be released together, kill and kill.

Radio, TV and film don't care about earning box office or anything.

This is also the reason why Li Tianer, who was able to talk about moving pictures, used "Pearl Harbor" to snipe "My Sassy Girl".

Thinking of this, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Hu, you are smiling so happily, is it because you are very confident in "Wanted Warrant"?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.

"Misunderstood, suddenly thought of a fun thing."

"what's up?"

Wan Xiaohu said the joke: "I had the son of the deputy director of the Ministry of Culture because of the actor. I smacked him a few times, and he let me go, saying that I would kill me. Then I couldn't help it." Blocked "My Sassy Girl" and found a relationship within the film to let "Pearl Harbor" be released together. At that time, Pearl Harbor cost more than [-] million U.S. dollars, but I was defeated in the end."

"That's why everyone calls you a great commercial director."

"The funny thing is not this, but later, because I never took that guy seriously, and I didn't pay much attention to it. Later, Huayi Brothers couldn't stand it anymore, because he was messing around, not only losing me, Huayi Brothers did it. It was released, and it was also lost. Later, I frightened him, found a young actor, and after playing with him, said that she had AIDS, tsk tsk."

"So ruthless, then he was scared to death."

"Yeah, you don't know. It is said that after three days of crying at home, the family fell out. In the end, Huayi Brothers sent someone to send a message. They often walk by the river without getting their shoes wet. This time, it was a scare. The next time it will be true. From now on, this guy has never dared to play with women in the entertainment industry again, he is very honest."

After Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, he smiled very happily. The entertainment company should not be too simple to organize these second-generation ancestors.

If you dare to be greedy for this beauty, you have to abide by the rules here. If you abide by the rules, everyone will worship you and call you a young master. If you destroy, there will be [-] million ways to play you to death, even how to die Yes, I don't know.

The entertainment industry is like flowers that are poisonous, they look beautiful, and the poison does not pay for their lives.

0239【New Chinese Star Guide】

We talked about jokes, drank beer, and it didn't take long before we talked about movies.

"Xiaohu, please help me to refer to it. Recently, the film market is generally in a downturn. The film industry is in a downturn. Many behind-the-scenes staff have not started work. I don't think we can stop making movies because of the downturn in the film industry. And now it is only blockbusters that can survive. , Many new directors don't have any opportunities, no matter how talented they are, they will not have the opportunity in two or three years, so they have to change careers." Liu Dehua said very solemnly.

"Hua Zai, what do you mean?" Wan Xiaohu put down his beer glass.

"I plan to make a plan to support new directors. I will try to take a few movies, contribute the salary, and invest in some new directors to shoot Chinese high-definition movies. There are more movies, and it will also give everyone some opportunities to start working and earn money. But you You know, I have poor eyesight, and I always fail to invest in movies, Xiaohu, you are the No. 1 commercial director, give me some advice."
