My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1131 Burbank

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
The Miramax film company in Burbank, Los Angeles is located 3 kilometers away from Disney's headquarters, surrounded by many world-renowned media and entertainment companies. In terms of taxation, Burbank also has a corresponding tax rebate policy.

In mid-to-late March, Los Angeles was already spreading its coolness and sex appeal. As soon as he got off the plane, Wu Xiaozu felt the comfort of the Mediterranean climate brought by the ocean currents.

Simple plain white shirt and slacks, with retro sunglasses.Such a dress is not out of the ordinary here.

Just like the plaid shirt and jeans in Northern California, most of them in Burbank are formally dressed in suits or shirts and slacks.Unlike vacation properties in Barbara and other places, Burbank is, after all, a work center.

"Yoyo."

Meng Jiahui saw the beautiful blonde girl who had kissed the boss in front of her and hurriedly greeted her with a smile.

Aniston, who dyed her signature blond hair, also showed her signature friendly smile and offered a hug, "Just call me Jennifer, I am Wu's assistant here. I know you are his secretary in HK. "

Sensing the other party's enthusiasm, Meng Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the way the other party sat on the boss's lap, she couldn't help but feel a little bit tasted.

The same is a secretary, why is there such a big gap in life?

It seems that there is a difference between sitting and doing.

Wu Xiaozu didn't know Meng Jiahui's thoughts, he had a normal friendship with Aniston, so don't talk about the foundation of his relationship... He didn't think about it either.

Everyone just hit it off, speaking of it, they are not as close as Meng Jiahui and Wu Xiaozu.

"The post-production of "Chinatown" is still in production, and the editing is still showing you the effect after the first cut. I agree with you in principle to participate in the post-editing work. Of course, if there is any disagreement, I hope you can support me. "

Harvey stared at Xiaozu Wu, deliberately jokingly said: "You know, I have broken Hollywood's unspoken rules for you."

rule? ?
Wu Xiaozu did not refute Harvey's excuse.

To a certain extent, this is indeed the default rule of Hollywood, but this rule only applies to new directors and non-big-name directors.

With the $5800 million box office hit of "Seven Deadly Sins", Wu Xiaozu has enough confidence to demand more rights.

"When will it be released?"

"It is expected to be released after the third weekend of May. My side is communicating with the original. You know, independent films will have more restrictions than those mainstream films.

If you hadn't had such a successful precedent as "Seven Sins", Grandet would not have talked about it. " Harvey said with a smile.

After all, he is a director with works.

There are strict procedures for the allocation of schedules in North America, which are very mature.Of course, this also means very 'exclusive'.

Not only foreigners, but even outsiders in North America are also excluded.

Wall Street used to be tricked by these people when they went in.

In terms of story, "Chinatown" fully follows Hollywood's script requirements and story mode.Including the design of the opening "Save the Cat", they all belong to the routines summed up by Hollywood commercial films.

The so-called "save the cat" itself is a metaphor, referring to the opening protagonist in order to make the audience have a sense of substitution and identity, and make the audience like him.

In terms of editing arrangements, it is naturally quite satisfactory.

For this drama, Wu Xiaozu was also a little uneasy.It is really unclear whether such a work can achieve commercial success. Generally speaking, this drama is not inferior to the action drama of "Rush Hour". The story style also has a strong retro style of the 60s and 70s, and the colors are very conspicuous. , paired with rock music, has some derivatives of modern interpretations of Western films.

Before, he said that he learned the style of "Scarface", mainly because he couldn't say it was GT5 style, right?
I can only hope that this kind of picture style with a strong visual sense can be pleasing.

In terms of schedule allocation, Hollywood has a subtle understanding, and it is rare to see scenes of "shopping" for headline works among major manufacturers.This is completely opposite to the market situation of Hong Kong films these days...

Still, it's about market energy.

After all, who would have imagined that, in future generations, neither of these two comedy works can be considered excellent, but they could generate a box office of 90 billion yuan during the Spring Festival?It can only be said that the people's demand for entertainment is really too high...

Unfortunately, there is still a long way to go.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu still needs to learn about his motherland here, and play the routine of making a fortune in silence.

Make money, don't be shabby.

Besides, in this day and age, the voice of the well-known cents is really the mainstream voice of society, and the common people also admit in their hearts that we are not as good as the old beauty, and even feel that we are far away.In future generations, there are gaps, but young people are actually more confident than old people...

Really, on the contrary, many older people drink a little wine and tend to brag about their old beauty... However, young people seem more confident.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Xiaozu Wu values ​​Oscar so much.He needs to make an example for later generations.

It can be said that he has now represented the ceiling of the small group of Chinese filmmakers in the international film world.On a big scale, he needs to prove Chinese films and filmmakers through the success of Chinese filmmakers in today's largest film market. On a small scale, he also wants to create a godhead.

Besides, the award itself is in line with commercial interests!

Once "Seven Sins" wins the award, the stock price of E7 Culture, the publisher of Hong Kong Island, can be imagined.

What's more, he has other methods as a backup.

"Late May..."

"Is there a problem?" Harvey looked at Wu Xiaozu curiously, fearing that the other party would not understand, he quickly explained: "The third Sunday in May is already a very good schedule. Many schools are on holiday one after another, which is very important for movies. That’s definitely good news.”

"Of course, Harvey, don't worry, I didn't question your schedule arrangement." Wu Xiaozu spread his hands and smiled, "I just want to say that I might go to Europe to help promote "Lover" in April."

"Then your schedule will be very busy." Harvey shrugged, "You and Jack Cheng in North America have a lot of roadshows and promotions to participate in."

The schedule for the third week of May is really good.

North America generally recognizes that the end of May-September is the hottest summer season in North America.The best location is naturally around Independence Day.But don't think about Wu Xiaozu's current coffee position in this kind of schedule.

What's more, a comedic action movie like this is really out of place on Independence Day.

"Now I only care about the Oscar ceremony in a few days." Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.

"God will bless us." Harvey was full of confidence.

　Let's do an update today, send my wife back to her hometown, she starts school tomorrow.My son's kindergarten is also starting, and I help organize things.By the way, let's sort out the plot...
