My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1338 Hollywood thinks you are a useful tool person (big chapter asks for votes!)

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
When the entire Hong Kong Island was cheering for Wu Xiaozu's coronation of the 64th Oscar's "Best Picture", he himself naturally had to shuttle between countless benefits and tests to accept praises.

sizzle sizzle...

In fact.

The director who just won the Oscar for best picture, at this time, is at the nightfall of the roadside stalls on the streets of Los Angeles, stuffing Mexican beef tortillas Taco into his mouth, and picking up a Coke glass with ice There was a gurgling sound.

No way, he hasn't eaten for nearly ten hours.

Next to him, Gong Li, who was wearing a cheongsam dress, also sat recliningly in the back seat without any scruples, gnawing on a Taco.

Not to mention Quentin, Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Nicolas Cage, and Bruce Willis squatting on the side of the curb who ate Hesse crazily.

"The nearby hamburger restaurant must be overcrowded now. I specially asked Robert to come here to order a Taco. We can eat hot food as soon as we leave the venue." Quentin claimed credit with a Coke in his mouth.

Robert Rodriguez shrugged, "I'm doing it for Wu's sake."

The two are not acquainted with each other, and they forged a friendship after watching the movie "Chinatown" in New York.

""Pulp Fiction" is really cool, and this movie deserves to win the best movie! This is a masterpiece~~ Fortunately, the Oscar judges are not blind this time."

Robert Rodriguez looked at Wu Xiaozu with great admiration, willing to be a disciple, incarnate as a dog licker, and praised him there.

He himself is really a gold medal winner Wu Chui.

"I watched your black-and-white short film "Bedside". It's a very interesting short film. Are you interested in directing a feature film?
If you have ideas, you can submit mature scripts and plans.

If the plan is feasible, I will not be stingy with investment.

My Dog—”

Wu Xiaozu also thinks highly of this genius who is not inferior to Quentin.

Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks are all the best cut films.

Robert Rodriguez's "Dawn", "Grindhouse", "Machete" and other films have achieved great box office and offline video tape DVD sales, and they are directors with a high profit ratio.

"Really???" Robert Rodriguez was surprised.

"Of course, I have great confidence in you."

Wu Xiaozu showed enough encouragement, and with his current status in the industry, it is only natural to say such things.

Undoubtedly more guaranteed.

The impact of best picture is subtle...

"Congratulations, Texas boy. I originally wanted you to be the assistant director of my new play, but now it seems that you can also make your own 'cheesecake'."

Quentin looked at the excited Rodriguez, and couldn't help laughing and teasing, "Of course, you can also be my assistant director first~~ I don't mind you stealing the teacher. What's wrong with being a dog?"

"Shet! You bastard with a face."

Rodriguez cursed, but couldn't hide his joy.

As it turns out, there's really nothing wrong with being a dog lick.It is the greatest honor to be director Wu's dog!
In this circle, there are countless talented people. Now is not the era when the Internet and short videos dominate the future... If you are really talented, you are not afraid that you will not have opportunities.

There are opportunities and platforms to showcase your talents everywhere.

It's different now, there are only so many upward channels, and there are countless people who are underappreciated.

People who pursue the American dream in Los Angeles can even line up from Beverly Hills to the Pacific Ocean.

In his previous life, Rodriguez made his debut feature film with his own pocket. In order to raise the cost, he even volunteered to be a "human guinea pig"—he became a trial tester of a new cholesterol-lowering drug and earned a lot of money. 3000 dollars in it.

In this life, Wu Xiaozu has changed the trajectory of his life.

In Hollywood, it is basically impossible for him to become a giant~~ unless Wu Xiaozu is willing to become a well-known American.But obviously, I don't have this plan now and in the future.

Otherwise he has no chance of becoming a giant in the entertainment or media industry.

At most, it's just a stake in it, and at the same time, interest entanglements permeate in places that are invisible to the naked eye... Don't think about being alone.

But this does not mean that he does not play chess pieces in Hollywood or North America!

Society is developing.

The confrontation between the new cold war that Mr. Wen said is still far away from now, and the current mainstream view itself is in place. He has smoothed out many pressures and obstacles.To be honest... the bald eagle didn't regard the rabbit as a competitor. On the contrary, Europe is the target he is paying close attention to now and will soon pay attention to.

Anyway, the rabbit will continue to hover on the edge of 'collapse'.

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

Holding the trophy in his arms, Harvey was full of drunkenness, for fear that others would not know that Harvey Weinstein helped "Pulp Fiction" win the Oscar statuette.

"It's nothing, I'm just looking forward to the upcoming large-scale release promotion." Wu Xiaozu changed the subject with a smile.

There is no need to play with him.

As for whether this counts as killing the donkey?Come on, isn't it obvious?That's right!

Wu Xiaozu did not intend to be tied up with Harvey.

At the very least, he must not show this kind of image on the outside, it is not in his interest.

"Hahaha, I just received a representative from the theater, and they plan to increase the number of openings of "Pulp Fiction". Falk! Of course they want to increase, this is the best movie!" Harvey raised his head arrogantly.

"I believe this will be a good start, but I look forward to the joy when the results are announced." Xiaozu Wu smiled and nodded, reminding Harvey.

He felt a little unaccustomed to the arrogant attitude of the other party.

But it's no wonder that being able to grab the best picture in the hands of "The Silence of the Lambs", "Bugsy" and "Killing Kennedy" is enough for him to feel arrogant!

This is why Wu Xiaozu probably felt that he had to draw a clear line with the other party.

He didn't want to be the target of his offending people.

"The paparazzi and reporters are calling to interview us, buddy, hurry up, let's enjoy wine and applause together. After attending the Vanity Fair night." Harvey urged impatiently, "I prepared the best party in Los Angeles! "

Everyone else smiled too.

They all went back to the hotel to change clothes.

……

The Vanity Fair party is still shining with stars, and countless celebrities and ladies gather together.

Wu Xiaozu had experienced this kind of battle before.

It's just that he was at best a supporting role in the show.But today is different—he is at least one of the protagonists.

"Dear Wu, welcome--", "Congratulations on winning the best picture, if I have the opportunity, I look forward to working with you!", "Oh Maiga, you look really enviable."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and greeted a group of Hollywood star directors and producers. For this situation, compared with Gong Li, Zhou Runfa and others who were a little unfamiliar next to him, he was undoubtedly more than capable.

His performance like a fish in water has also raised many people's evaluation of him to a higher level.

"This guy doesn't seem to be a shooting star, he's very comfortable here." Don Simpson, the gold medal producer, smiled and shrugged to his partner, "Dude, your vision is as vicious as ever."

"Hehe, isn't this more in line with our expectations?
Believe me, he's going to be crazier commercially than he looks.I've seen his previous commercial films.
Remember the "Twin Heroes" and "God of Gamblers"?That kind of rhythm control is not possessed by many commercial directors in Hollywood...

His potential was limited by the guy from New York.His best partner should be us. "Jerry Bruckheimer watched walking in the crowd, not touching his body, his eyes staring intently.

There is no more suitable tool man than him!

It is even more in line with my psychological expectations than the commercial director named Michael Bay.

"I support your decision." Don Simpson watched as the producers and directors of several film companies walked over, and couldn't help but joked again: "However, I'm afraid that many of you, the person you like, are eyeing." .”

"..."

Jerry Bruckheimer subconsciously pursed his lips when he looked at Xiaozu Wu, who was chatting and laughing happily with the executives of Universal, Warner, Columbia and other companies, even "twittering".

"No, it just makes him understand that I'm the right person for him."

"Then you may have to work harder, these guys will not let go of such potential stocks that have proven their abilities.

If... Pulp Fiction does what they want at the box office.Believe me, these guys will put the secretary in his bed. ’ Don Simpson hit an old friend mercilessly.

"Believe me, as long as it can bring them benefits, they can do anything."

Jerry Bruckheimer certainly knows this.

and so--

He is no longer reserved.

He took the initiative to greet Wu Xiaozu.

Fake!

A group of coquettish sluts!
"Mr. Rock, I am also looking forward to working with you." Wu Xiaozu smiled and touched champagne with the executives of Samsung Pictures in front of him.

Fortunately, he was already full, otherwise he would really be hungry and fight these guys here.

That's not a good taste.

Don't get me wrong, the Samsung Pictures in front of me belongs to Columbia Pictures, and now it naturally belongs to Sony.

"Director John, see you at the premiere of "Pulp Fiction"!"

"Extremely honored."

Smiling to deal with the guy who came to throw olive branches, Wu Xiaozu continued to maintain a smile, and continued to wait for other people who came to throw olive branches.

The moment he walked into the party, he already understood the situation.

This is also what he is actively pursuing.

To enter this circle, he needs to make more contacts step by step.Now, he's waiting to see how "Pulp Fiction" does at the box office.Once this movie is as successful as it was in the previous life——

Then, Wu Xiaozu will complete his plan.

He would jump straight up an incredibly wide step.

In the previous life, "Pulp Fiction" kicked off the grand occasion of independent films!Uh... Although it is a bit unfavorable to say that it is a prelude, "Pulp Fiction" is indeed a "legacy in history" for the entire Hollywood film environment.

At this time, he will conform to the general trend and squeeze into the embrace of Hollywood!

Because... when independent films prove their abilities, do you think capital will sit idly by?

Don't be naive!

Capital is greedy... When he feels that he can trample on the rules, he will rush in without any scruples, let alone such a chance?
Look at the greed of Internet finance in Lin'an, which was infiltrated by foreign capital in the previous life, let alone their North American father?
What Wu Xiaozu has to do is to seize this opportunity - come to a junior college to be promoted to a bachelor's degree!Let your company enjoy such a bonus period, and then you have to get into the circle of Hollywood.

Don't talk about your own people or your own people, anyway, you have to recognize my existence.

He never expected to be one of their own.

But it doesn't mean that he can't turn the world upside down in it!

The Chinese are good at transporting gas from the west to the east and diverting water from the south to the north. Why can't they use Hollywood's resources to invest in the development of Chinese-language films? ?
There are actually precedents for this... Columbia Pictures actually started investing in Chinese-language films very early on.

At the time of its acquisition by Sony, Columbia still had independent distribution rights.

In 1995, it chose to enter the Chinese market, and became the first among the eight major Hollywood film companies to enter the Chinese film market, and became the first multinational film and television company to cooperate with a Chinese film company.

It's a pity... I was cheated!
Although we use our strengths to fight, we can't exhaust our resources!
Around 1995, Columbia invested in and shot more than 20 Chinese-language films, such as "Big Wrist" and "Heaven and Earth Heroes", all of which were written by him...

It can't be said that being cheated was miserable, after all, it directly scared off more than half of other Hollywood film companies.

Wu Xiaozu definitely wants to give some sweetness~~ At least let him make a lot of money in the foreign market, so as to prove that there is indeed a need for investment in Chinese-language movies.

Only in this way can we create more excellent Chinese-language films and attract more excellent teams and filmmakers.

To be honest, although it is very cool to get money from them who live a good life, but you have to know how to pull it.

"Hi~~~~~~"

Just as Wu Xiaozu was laughing and chatting with CAA's manager, a rather 'soft' sharp voice suddenly came from behind.

Turn your head.

On a kiwi-like hairy face, two big nostrils flicker, and there is a passionate and even coquettish smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seem to be proposing marriage...

"Jerry??"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Jerry Bruckheimer in front of him in astonishment, subconsciously stepped aside.

"Are you all right buddy?"

"? Of course not, oh no, I mean congratulations on your award, I knew you would be successful here. It's like I talked to you once, your light will not be obscured." Jerry Brook Haimo smiled enthusiastically and took the initiative to embrace.

Although Wu Xiaozu was a bit allergic to this kind of "kiwi fruit" hug, but the other party was considered the most beautiful fish in his fish pond, so he also dealt with it.

"Thank you, I'm just lucky."

"Compared to their thinking that is still at the stage of diapers, I believe that I am the one who knows better what your ability can reach.

Independent films cannot use your talent, America needs a great director like you. "

"I've seen all of your movies, including the videotape about the murder of a taxi driver that appeared in the North American market a while ago.

I know how great your energy is, and I know your likes and dislikes.I believe that you and I are very compatible partners. "

"Oh? Thank you." Wu Xiaozu didn't expect that the other party had even watched "The Butcher on a Rainy Night".

It can also be known from this that the other party's understanding of himself is indeed not shallow.This also made Wu Xiaozu interested.

He doesn't really mind who he works with.

In Hollywood, a producer-centric place, unless you are a real top director, your power is all limited.In this regard, Wu Xiaozu chose to abide by the rules here.

Of course, if better conditions can be obtained, it is natural to strive for them.

"You have a strong control over commercial action movies." Jerry Bruckheimer said with a smile: "You should also want to make more commercial big productions, right?"

"Why do you have to be so sure?" Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile.

"Because I'm sure you won't miss the opportunity to enter the mainstream of Hollywood. You won't just stay where you are." Jerry Bruckheimer said firmly.

Speaking of this, he smiled and whispered in his ear, "That New York fat guy can't play with an investment of 7000 million dollars. Among the rest, I am definitely the most sincere."

Wu Xiaozu heard the words and glanced at Harvey who was hanging out with several female celebrities not far away.

Suddenly a smiling face appeared.

"Kamuang~" Jerry Bruckheimer smiled and held out his hand.

Snapped!
Both hands hold.

Not far away, Harvey Weinstein drunkenly enjoyed the feeling of being under the spotlight.

Suddenly a beam of green light swept across the dance floor and swept over his head.It's a pity that he didn't know it, and he was still reminiscing about the aura brought by Oscar.

His current mind is to make "Pulp Fiction" work well, and then make persistent efforts...

Obviously, the spring of independent films is coming!

He Harvey Weinstein's spring is coming too!

"Man, I've got a couple of really good scripts in my hands, and I'll get them to you ASAP. It's going to be even richer than the ones I've had~~
At the same time, don't worry, I won't limit your energy.I guarantee that its investment will not be less than 6000 million US dollars.And any cast or crew you want, leave it to me.

Even if you want the person in the White House to appear on camera, I will help you to try.I have seen your commercial film, and you have your own set of explanations for commercial scheduling.I believe you will bring a refreshing experience to Hollywood. "

Compared with Harvey, Jerry Bruckheimer has the confidence of a gold medal producer.

Moreover, his energy in commercial production is unmatched by Harvey.

Although the development of film and television in New York has been good, it is really quite different from Hollywood!
This is the real commercial movie center!

The place where the most professional talents gather in the world.

After nearly three years, Wu Xiaozu finally decided to step into the circle of Hollywood.

At this time, his wings have grown relatively!

It's time to start experiencing real Hollywood industrial production!
