My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1524 Hong Kong Island Performing Arts [-]rd star class, the market has become a place where capital flogs

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
The sound of teaching came from No. 3 multi-purpose lecture hall of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

"The production and production of a film itself is a large project that requires professional guidance, and it may take years or even decades for filmmakers to go from idea to final operation and release.

For example, I have a movie called "Big Brother".I don't know if any of you have seen it? "

White shirt and slacks with a retro side back, the 30-year-old handsome ancestor Professor Wu Xiaozu/Principal stands on the three-foot podium, with a smile of a billionaire and a millionaire, making people feel the demeanor of a spring breeze.

A row of hands below stood up, all of them said they had seen it.

hmm~
After all, it is a compulsory pull film course at the Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts.

"It seems that everyone has seen it, but most of you probably don't know that it took nearly ten years for this movie from preparation to final release."

Sure enough, many people immediately looked in awe when they heard "Ten years of sharpening a sword".

It is indeed the lovely and amiable Principal Wu of Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts, who is known as the 'star Whampoa'.

A certain exchange student named Xu Haofeng sat in a corner very politely, making a pilgrimage to his idol.

"Also, the senior in our industry is also a film senior that I respect very much, director Hu Jinquan. He has spent more than ten years working on the film "Hua Gong".

Therefore, the formation of a film from content development to fundraising, to the actual shooting of the crew project, and finally to the post-production stage, the links and personnel involved are very complicated.

This process involves not only the field of production, but also the field of circulation and even the capital market.

It is a rigorous and complex project in itself. "

Maybe in the eyes of some people, he is an entertainment tycoon, a capital tycoon, a good father, a good uncle, a good brother, and a good master who cares about actresses.

But here, he is just a gardener who is frowned upon by a thousand wives, who blasphemes himself with a handrail...

What market avalanche?
What circle panic?
What Hong Kong-Taiwan war?
What stock crashed?
Facing the faces eager for knowledge below, he is just an ordinary educator without any particularity.

The fight in the capital market did not interfere with his sense of responsibility as a teacher.

In the past few years, under his vigorous promotion, the teachers, students and facilities of Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts have been qualitatively improved.

After several years of practice, the Academy of Performing Arts also officially recruited students from mainland China in 1993, in Harbin Beer, Laoxue, Yanjing, No. [-] Factory, Baisha, Zhujiang, Libo and even...etc. The 'enrollment point' has been added in a timely manner.

Perhaps in terms of fame, Hong Kong's performing arts are not as good as Beijing Film, China Opera and even Shanghai Opera in mainland China, but——

You can imagine how tempting it is to come to Hong Kong Island to study and study these days!

Moreover, through the joint cooperation with Beijing Film Academy, mainland students of Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts can enjoy the dual degree certification of Hong Kong Island Academy for Performing Arts and Beijing Film Academy.

At the same time, excellent special recruits can get full scholarships, household registration and other opportunities.

In this pass where people go abroad, Hong Kong Island is also the "golden land" in the eyes of many people.

Don't feel ridiculous, but that's the reality.

So in general, for some students, Hong Kong performing arts may be more attractive than Beijing Film and Chinese Opera.

Moreover,

In the past two years, stars, directors and behind-the-scenes staff from Hong Kong arts have begun to "emerge" in the circle.

In particular, Director Wu's "guidance" and dedicated performance of his graduation work "That Man's Summer" immediately made many "graduates" favored by both inside and outside the industry.

In the behind-the-scenes circle of Chinese-language films on Hong Kong Island, Zheng Baorui, Liang Lemin, and Lu Jianqing have all begun to have the ability to hold important positions next to the directors of the Wu family, and they are obviously being cultivated as the reserve force for the next echelon.

Needless to say, Cai Shaobing, Li Xiaozun and others.

Zhen Zhidan from the acting class has already made a name for himself with his villain performance in "Suit Thug".

Zhu Yin, a black girl, also appeared in many movies and won the favor of many LSPs who like the 'petite and cute' style.

Compared with the low-key and inconspicuous Dongguan boy, he is much worse off, and not many bosses praise him, which makes him a lot worse, but it is not a problem to stand firm in the circle and have a job...

As for the exchange students of Beijing Film Academy, Huang Tuo, Yu Feihong, Jiang Mu, Wang Jinsong, Gao Xixi, and Teng Huatao also received considerable attention after returning to Beijing Film Academy.

Especially Huang Tie and Yu Feihong... were valued by the leaders of the college, the school and even the upper department, and they were regarded as the benchmark and representative of the talent and cultural exchanges between the two places in [-].

At the same time, relying on the favor and training of the principal, Chairman Wu, they also registered there... A Mou, Kai Ge, Chang Wei and others intentionally gave them opportunities, and basically enjoyed the treatment of the direct line of the Central Army.

This kind of graduate performance naturally attracts more students to continue their studies.

Although a strong network of contacts like the "Northern Film Department" and "Chinese Opera Department" has not yet been formed, it is believed that as more and more people come forward, the "Hong Kong Art Department" of President Wu's direct lineage will also become a major player in the Chinese film circle and even the Chinese film industry. A force that cannot be ignored in the entertainment industry.

On the podium, Principal Wu continued to teach and fulfilled his responsibility as a teacher.

"Your students here may become directors, actors, screenwriters and other roles that serve movies in the future.

Everyone has different identities and faces different problems, but the process involved in the movie is roughly similar...

Generally, film shooting is roughly divided into three stages, among which the preparation work before shooting determines whether the film can smoothly enter the second stage.

At this stage, the production company generally decides the director, screenwriter, art director, photography director, sound director, lighting director and other main creative members.

Everyone will also cooperate and divide the work to complete script development, copyright declaration and protection, budget listing, location survey, casting, script project approval...etc.

Therefore, the development of a successful film project must be a professional, patient and responsible process. "

Speaking of this, the handsome and handsome Principal Wu picked up the thermos cup on the table and signaled to the students who raised their hands below to ask questions.

"Hi, sir, I'm an exchange student in the drama performance class of the 93rd grade, and my name is Xu Cairen.

Sir, you just mentioned in the lecture that filming is a big project, but as far as I know, the filming on Hong Kong Island seems to be very fast now...and the quality is very good.

For example, your "Dark Flowers" and "Gunfire", the shooting time of the latter seems to be only a week or two?
However, this film was selected into the China-Hong Kong Exchange Film Exhibition, and it is deeply loved by many young people. At the same time, many teachers in the school’s Latino class also use this film as a teaching material..."

Under the stage, wearing a long oil painting dress and a pair of glasses, a girl dressed in a literary and retro style smiled and stared at Wu Xiaozu in front of her with enough curiosity.

Anyone who looks at the eyes full of thirst for knowledge will spontaneously have the urge to be a teacher.

This is probably the rhetorical technique of the high-end tea art girl.

Seeing her stealing the limelight, several female students with different expressions in the audience all rolled their eyes.

"She is not so active on weekdays, and she often skips classes, but today she dresses herself up as a good literary girl. Obviously, she is the most familiar with many students on Hong Kong Island during this time, and she often goes to clubs..."

Li Bingbing, a slender, slightly dark-skinned and bright-eyed 'special recruit' from the Heilongjiang Province, complained to his fellow 'special recruit' fellow and brother 'Ren Zhenxun' beside him.

It can be seen from the words that she really doesn't like this mainland classmate who came with her.

Boss Ren nodded, supporting his 'bestie' idea.

Is there pure friendship between men and women?
Probably there are...

Either a male thief, or a female thief.

Probably Ren Zhenxun and Li Bingbing are in this category.

Of course, Ren Zhenxuan himself can definitely be regarded as a son-in-law, clean and refined, and absolutely not a mother...so——

After he finished perfunctory with his good 'brother', his eyes peeked at a sweet-looking girl named Jia Jingyun not far away.

The other party's eyes are big and round, full of agility. Even in the performance class where handsome men and beautiful women gather, the beauty of the whole person is still like a pear blossom crushing a begonia.

He was not the only one who watched Jia Jingyun together.

Liao Fan, who is taciturn and unsociable but was praised by a professional teacher, Sun Yaowei, an exchange student from Wanwan, and Chen Hao, a model transfer student, couldn't help sneaking glances at the 'big-eyed girl' sitting in the front row.

no way……

Even though there are Xu Cairen, Li Bingbing, Yao Yali (Yao Leyi) and A, B, C, and Ding in the class, Jia Jingyun is still the one with the most outstanding looks, especially in line with the aesthetics of the young Mu Ai's age group.

You must know that the entire [-]th and [-]rd performance class (including exchange students and sprint classes) is the first attempt to conduct special enrollment in the Gulf and the mainland, and the overall quality of the students is very high.This class is also regarded by the leaders of the Hong Kong Arts School as the class with the most star appearance in recent years.

Anyway, it was quite a mistake.

The favorable conditions have attracted many students from the mainland. Anyway, these people must have some advantages over their peers if they can rise up in later generations. It is not surprising that they are special recruits.

The cultivation of talent echelon itself is something that needs to be considered in a mature market. Wu Xiaozu wants to shake up the Chinese-speaking market, and the annual education expenditure is an indispensable hard expenditure.

"Hehehe..."

Principal Wu took a sip and put down the thermos.

He looked at each other.

Wang...Lvmin is really grand!

He turned a blind eye to the opponent's scheming.

"I think this is probably what many students are thinking about, right?"

Wu Xiaozu approached the lecture hall among the students in an approachable manner, and after a glance, there were many young and familiar faces.

"Student Xu, your question is very good."

Let’s be sure first, sure enough, when he heard the compliment, Xu Cairen showed a private smile, “This classmate Xu’s question is very interesting.

However, she committed a logical paradox, this logical error is a kind of 'survivor bias'.

This kind of logical trap arises because what we see is a conclusion drawn by natural selection after the survival of the fittest, because the non-survivors have lost their voices.

The same goes for movies.

There is nothing wrong with the fact that cinema itself is a project that needs to be taken seriously.

The reason why you seem to think that many short films are also classics is because you didn't have the opportunity to see him in those failed films. "

After a pause, Wu Xiaozu walked among these students one by one in the aisle.

"This year, the entire market has collapsed, capital has run away, and various film companies have fallen into a trend of suspension. The spread of this situation will even affect the development of the entire industry.

However, do you know how many movie projects have been declared unfinished due to various reasons?

Let me give you a very intuitive data that even many people in the industry may not know: 778 units.

Also, do you know how many movies there are backlogs that are shoddy and finished every year but never get a chance to be released?

Not less than 300 units.

These films will only be released on videotapes, and it is up to God to appreciate how much they can recover.The movies you have seen have been carefully selected by film companies, distribution companies and theaters for you to watch, but you may not even have the chance to watch more movies, and there are very few genuine copies.

As for piracy, at this time, pirate dealers may truly respect copyright.

Because they know that their pirated recordings have the risk of losing money. "

Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at Xu Cairen who still looked "Wen Hui".

"The reason why you have seen the success of "Dark Flower" and "Gunfire" is more due to the maturity of my team.

They are only short in shooting time, but it does not mean that the entire film program is missing. In fact, the reduction in the time from the establishment of the two films to the start of filming has not reduced any of the links that should be, so this is a success in efficiency. . "

The principal's voice fell, and there was thunderous applause.

Wu Xiaozu actually spares some time every year to give lectures and lectures to students. This year, because of the time arrangement, it is scheduled for the time after Christmas and before the Spring Festival.

In fact, I glanced at the paparazzi hiding in the back row.

I believe that some of his words will be misinterpreted and published in the media tomorrow, which may trigger more turbulent discussions.

This time, the entire Hong Kong film was hit hard.

If the previous life was just the impact of the market itself, then this life is a kind of fall in all directions.

The form of expression reflected in the market is undoubtedly that capital is using the last banknote ability to flog the last remaining value of the entire film industry.

Capital is on the move.

There is not only one smart person in the world, and there are more than one people with the idea of ​​buying bottoms.

They thought that [-]'s big fight might be to take advantage of the opportunity to buy bottoms as soon as possible.

Is it?

Not 嚒?
"gentlemen--"

'Wen Hui' who was holding a book came trotting leisurely, panting up and down, and her legs were in two lines, looking gentle and gentle.

"I can ask you anytime if I have any questions in the future?" Xu Cairen's pupils were like rippling autumn water.

This scene can understand why many old professors with profound talents and profound learning were eventually taken down by their own graduate students.

They are real tea, and they dare to go up.

Uh……

Seeing her take the initiative to approach the principal, many female students cursed inwardly——

Especially seeing that Principal Wu really left a business card for the other party, it made the female students who couldn't get it restless.

"Boss, Sir Luo offered to invite you to drink tea."

The appearance of Meng Jiahui, the cold-faced Royal Sister Fan, directly overshadowed these young students, and many male students immediately shifted their attention from Jia Jingyun to her.

Who doesn't want to have a sister-in-law?
"It should be Liu Sheng who wants to take the opportunity to sit with you." Meng Jiahui added.

"In the afternoon, I will have dinner with Xiaoxian to discuss the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend".

After project proposal, project approval, script development and preliminary preparations, the play has entered the formal stage. The script has been diagnosed and sorted out by the script doctor, and the logical structure of the script has been adjusted.

The director team and the art team have completed the atmosphere map, scene design map, and storyboard design. Now the concept design map of the whole movie has also been completed, and the shooting will start soon. I don't have so much time to drink tea with others. "

Wu Xiaozu looked at Secretary Meng in the gray silk OL uniform in front of him calmly, "YoYo, you don't think your boss doesn't even have this time, does he?"

"I understand." Secretary Meng rolled his eyes helplessly, and Li Yingai next to him took the initiative to put on the windbreaker for Wu Xiaozu.

"By the way, how is Wang Jiawei?"

"He's recovering well, but his left calf has a comminuted fracture, and he may become crippled after he recovers well." Meng Jiahui replied.

"Hey~" Wu Xiaozu sighed with compassion, "Give him a pair of crutches for me."

At this moment, there was a commotion among the bodyguards outside, and the bodyguards hurried in, followed by police officers with live ammunition behind them.

The leader is Chen Bingzhong, who has an iceberg face and angry eyes, and there are even more people behind him.

"Wu Xiaozu!!"

"Sir, please pay attention to your attitude."

Ah Wen stood in front of the messenger, looking at him calmly, "Standing in front of you is Wu Xiaozu JP."

Wu Xiaozu pressed his hand indifferently, looked at Chen Bingzhong in front of him with an undiminished smile, and stretched out his hand, "Sir Chen is here, what can I do?"

"Mr. Wu, you have the right to remain silent now, but every word you say will become evidence in court. The police force is now conducting a routine subpoena investigation on you. I hope you..."

Before a senior superintendent in front of him finished speaking, his phone rang and he answered it.

"Okay, I understand, okay..."

The senior superintendent glanced at Chen Bingzhong who was next to him, then turned his head and smiled at Wu Xiaozu, "I'm sorry, Sir Wu, if it's convenient for you, we would like to know something about you. Of course, you can decide the place and time."

Wu Xiaozu smiled and nodded at the other party, then turned to look at Chen Bingzhong, with doubts in his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"You don't know?"

"?" Wu Xiaozu smiled and looked at the other party, "Should I know?"

"of course."

Chen Bingzhong stared closely at Wu Xiaozu's eyes, "Do you know how serious the consequences of this matter are?"

Wu Xiaozu was astonished, and quickly reached out to block the other party's words.

"Sorry, Sir Chen, I really don't know what you're talking about..."

After the voice fell, Meng Jiahui and Ah Wen's expressions changed suddenly after each of them answered a phone call.

Meng Jiahui quickly whispered to Wu Xiaozu's ear.

moment!

Wu Xiaozu raised his eyes, his face full of shock.

At this time, there were bursts of exclamation in the classroom next to it, and the yelling of many students made the scene very chaotic, attracting many people's attention.

　Excuse me these days, I will try my best in August!
