for Advance Chapter
Don't look at Lao Shi as a gangster. He first got involved in the film and television industry to launder money for the society and secretly seduce those beautiful stars.
But after so many years, he really fell in love with movies, which is why he would occasionally invest in a few movies even though it didn't help him much.
When he heard Wang Pangzi talk about the four endings, Xiang Laoshi was a little skeptical. Now after hearing Wu Mingxuan, the screenwriter, nodded in agreement, he immediately became interested and said, "Xuanzi, then tell us about this ultimate hidden ending."
Wu Mingxuan nodded. For most normal people of ordinary origin, before they really become rich, they still rely on their skills to gain the recognition of those big bosses and financial sponsors, and then start to rise to prominence overnight.
Therefore, Wu Mingxuan does not object to showing his talents in front of those big bosses and financial backers. When he is nothing, it will be easier to succeed if he is sensible and a good person. We will talk about the future later.
"The story compiled by Li Wen is very perfect. There are almost no loopholes, as if he had experienced it himself. At the same time, why did he make Wu Xiuqing look like Ruan Wen? Is it really just because he had a crush on Ruan Wen when he was a neighbor before?
Pay attention to one word, "painter". This mysterious figure appears from the beginning to the end, and is the real highlight of the whole movie.
Are there painters in this movie?
Yes, there are two. One is Li Wen. He was finally judged by the orthodox plot.
So from another perspective, if this story is not made up, but really exists, why can't Li Wen be Ruan Wen? And the painter actually refers to Li Wen. The reason why he named him the painter is because Ruan Wen eventually became a
famous painter? He told everyone the answer from the beginning.
In addition, why can Xiuqing pretend to be Ruan Wen, and Ruan Wen went to the mainland by coincidence?
The most interesting thing is What is interesting is that Li Wen died together with Xiuqing in the end. No one escaped. Only Ruan Wen sat on the top of the mountain and painted a fake oil painting. Isn't this hinting at something?"
Fatty Wang was afraid that Xiang Laoshi didn't quite understand, so he added: "Xiuqing felt something was wrong afterwards and suspected that she was just a tool. The person Li Wen really wanted to live with was not her. She was just a substitute, so she chose to die with Li Wen.
And Ruan Because of Li Wen's death, Wen Ye completely cleared herself of suspicion and got rid of the fake money gang, becoming the real winner.
To some extent, the internal conflict among the gang was also related to her guidance and calculation. She cleverly used the jealousy of women and the hidden contradictions with the fake money team to cover up her past and gain a new life. "
Wu Mingxuan nodded in recognition, and it was exactly the same as what Wang Pangzi said. The reason why "Wushuang" was set up like this was also for review.
If you understand it and let us change it, that's your ability; if you don't understand it and don't let us change it, that's your own problem.
Therefore, the settings and foreshadowing that were originally designed to pass the censorship unexpectedly improved the depth and quality of the entire movie. This is also the reason why "Wushuang" later became a huge hit and was regarded as a masterpiece by many fans and audiences who truly understood it.
Xiang Lao Shi directly picked up the red wine on the table and drank it all. Then he looked at Wu Mingxuan with admiration: "No wonder Rupert said you are a rare film genius in decades. Your script is so good. There is no doubt that Rupert and I will fully support you to make such a good movie."
Wu Mingxuan immediately returned a glass, drank it all in one gulp and said: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Xiang."
Xiang Lao Shiyi nodded with satisfaction. He found that Wu Mingxuan was more interesting than he thought. He was a real smart man. It seemed that they would have to deal with each other for a long time in the future.
Wu Mingxuan did not want to offend Xiang Laoshi for the time being. As long as it was not too excessive, cooperation was not impossible. If he wanted to invite the superstars in Hong Kong to make a movie, Xiang Laoshi and Yang Shoucheng's reputation would definitely be better than his. Do you dare not agree?
"Director Wu, you are really amazing. I am a little confused by you. But I know that this movie must be amazing. I wonder how much box office it can get in the end?"
After hearing what Cecilia Cheung said, Xiang Laoshi was also very uninterested. It is impossible to make a movie just for fun. The most important thing is to make money and make a lot of money. Why is Wang Pangzi so valued by him? It's because Wang Pangzi can help him make money.
Wu Mingxuan thought for a moment and gave a number that he thought was more reliable. He said, "I have entrusted the distribution in the mainland to Huayi. By then, it should be able to reach 300 million, or even 500 million. It should not be difficult to create a new box office record in the mainland.
In Hong Kong, I have confidence in the box office appeal of Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok. The movie itself is absolutely a masterpiece. Not to mention setting a new record, it won't be a problem to exceed 50 million.
The majority are the Japanese and Korean markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the European and American markets. In my opinion, Southeast Asia is just so-so. On the contrary, the Japanese and Korean markets are huge and the culture is closer.
However, they only accept high-quality films. Only good films can enter. Once they enter, there is great potential. I see a box office of more than 300 million.
There is no need to worry about the European and American markets . The fact that "The Departed" won an Oscar shows that this type of subject matter has a big market there. Chow Yun-fat is also well-known in the European and American markets. If it is well managed, it is not impossible to make more than 100 million US dollars.
A box office of 200 million US dollars in several markets combined is not a fantasy. We Hong Kong films do need such a masterpiece with great market influence and financial effects to boost morale. "
In Wu Mingxuan's view, Hong Kong in 2007 actually has a chance to survive. After all, the mainland has begun to rise slowly. As long as there are enough good masterpieces, it is not impossible to activate the mainland market in advance, and then it can support more excellent works and begin to expand to the Asia-Pacific, European and American markets.
However, there are too many bigwigs here, all of them are old-fashioned. For someone like Wu Mingxuan who has real ability, it would be fine if he doesn't have the real power. If he really has that power, why would he be a tool for them to make money? It's too early for him to start a new business.
However, judging from the situation, Wu Mingxuan's words were very pleasing to the ear, as if he really regarded himself as a member of their Hong Kong circle, and was very happy to become the new generation of force in the Hong Kong circle and cooperate with all parties for a long time. This is what makes Xiang Lao Shi most satisfied with him.
