My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 497 This is the technique of killing people with a knife?

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
boom--

"Second son, this ball is pretty enough!"

Huang Baiming smiled, showing eight white teeth under his brown glasses, with a tennis racket under his arm, smiling and clapping, "Your level is good enough to participate in the US Open!"

"Tennis players in Hong Kong Island are too unprofessional, but I really have very few opponents!"

Lei Yunlong smiled and threw the racket to the female partner next to him, took the towel and wiped his sweat, and walked towards the sun umbrella not far away, "I heard that my boss and Boss Mai intend to spend huge sums of money. Filming a big cast movie?"

"I heard that it intends to restart the 'Best Partner Series'."

Huang Baiming smiled and handed over a bottle of twisted Evian mineral water, and tentatively said, "This time, second son, you came forward to support the scene where "School" and "Die Hard" faced Wu Xiaozu... Aren't you a little rash? "

This summer file is really full of wind and clouds.

Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Debao and many independent film companies have produced works above the pass line.

In history, 1988 was a year when the competition for excellent films was very fierce.From this year onwards, the bustling market for Hong Kong films has stimulated the inversion of capital.

"Of course it's reckless, but Princess Jin can't leave it to the opponent for a month, right? Instead of leaving the tough bones to ourselves, of course it's more appropriate to give them."

Lei Yunlong slapped his female partner's buttocks in a foolish way, stirring up a lot of waves, and said absently and perfunctorily, "Don't worry. I intend to discuss with my old man to support you in new dramas again. As long as you perform well, it's okay I can support you... as I said."

"That's... that's... I've always followed Er Shao's orders and followed suit."

Huang Baiming looked at the dude in front of him with flickering eyes, and smiled brightly, "I want to see if you can give me more support——"

"Don't worry, this time I will use Wu Xiaozu to break Mecca so that he knows who to follow..."

Lei Yunlong waved his hands indifferently, his whole body was already buried in the little star's chest, he gnawed and wrapped himself up, causing the little star to moan and scream.

Huang Baiming laughed and pushed his glasses with his fingers.

The other party wanted to use Wu Xiaozu's knife to "kill" the spirit of his elder brother Lei Yunqing.However, in his opinion, the so-called second son in front of him is also his sword.He also wanted to use the other party to sharpen Mecca's heart, so as to increase his right to speak in New Art City.

Watching Huang Baiming leave, Lei Yunlong raised his head, his eyes were cold, his mouth was smiling, and he twisted his fingers fiercely.

"what!"

The little star cried out in pain

"Only when you are obedient are you able to eat, and with so many thoughts, do you really think I'm an idiot?" Lei Yunlong sneered sneeringly.

This year, Ishida began to decline.

At the beginning, Tsui Hark and Wu Yusen asked him to play Long Si in "The True Colors of Heroes 2" to help him solve the predicament at that time. Unfortunately, "The True Colors of Heroes 2" was too eager and did not achieve the expected effect.

At this time, the internal strife in New Art City was already very serious.

Mecca supported Lin Lingdong, while Huang Baiming led the people from the screenwriting team, and the two sides fought each other.

With the power in his hands and Lin Lingdong's successive successes, no one can shake Mecca's status.

"Wu Xiaozu..."

Lei Yunlong changed his cynicism just now, and his eyes were cold. The Lei family's property is not all Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd.Or it can be said that the reason why the Lei family has such a status is that the entertainment company is not the main business.

Now, his elder brother's thoughts are all on the affairs of the film company. In his opinion, he is an idiot!

At the beginning, he made a rash move, but Wu Xiaozu made him into a mess. His elder brother pretended to make a move, and staged a scene of brothers and sisters respectful for his old man. . .His boss thinks he's acting well, but he doesn't understand at all that he just wants to show him this kind of dandy gesture.

Compared to the property of the Lei family, what is a golden princess?

Huang Baiming walked out of the tennis court, still maintaining his habitual smile showing eight teeth
"Boss, what do you want?" Gao Zhisen, with thick, round hair and a big face, came up to him.

"I'm afraid this son of the Lei family is not very reliable~"

As Huang Baiming walked, he responded softly, looking around, "Zhisen, you said that Boss Xiang is looking for you to collaborate on a new play?"

"Yeah. Yongsheng has made a condition, as long as I go to film in the film, I will invest at least 300 million!"

Gao Zhisen said, frowning, "However, I am concerned about his identity..."

"It's fine to procrastinate for a while. This time you directed the "Chicken Head and Duck Talk" Debao pays great attention to it. Maybe it's your opportunity.

However, try to avoid Wu Xiaozu's schedule.

This time he brought the prestige of Cannes and invested more than 3500 million. Even if there are exaggerations, the cost must not be less than 2800 million.Otherwise, the cast alone would have drained his funds.

With his style, there must be plenty of money to shoot big scenes.I have checked with the people inside the 1024 locomotive before, and their internal evaluation of this movie is very high!I'm afraid I won't lose to "Double Heroes"! "Huang Baiming reminded.

When Gao Zhisen heard the other party's words, he spread his hands helplessly, "Although I filmed the film, the situation of Debao is hard to describe. Zhang Jiazhen 'defected' from Debao and joined the 1024 locomotive. On the contrary, Debao's internal balance was somewhat unbalanced, and Mr. Pan As a newlywed, I'm not thinking about the film company, I'm afraid I won't be able to give my opinion this time..."

Zhang Jiazhen's departure from Debao also caused turmoil within Debao Film Company.The benefits he left behind naturally made the rest of the senior management jealous.Especially when Pan Dickson didn't care too much about the company's affairs, the people below fought even more fiercely.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Wu Xiaozu... If it weren't for 1024 Locomotive Film Company to help New Arts City attract attention, I'm afraid Golden Harvest would still be staring at us..."

Huang Baiming pondered for a moment, "At the beginning Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest joined hands to strangle New Art City, it was not just for profit. Now that the 1024 locomotive is rising strongly, the rest are not willing to see it. Now New Art City doesn't have to face Golden Harvest, Debao, etc. The joint efforts of the company also gave us a chance to breathe.

I have to prove that I am more suitable for New Art City than Mecca, so that New Art City can be rejuvenated.

Asen, you have to help me! "

"Boss, how do you want to help? The two of us don't need to worry about these..."

The relationship between Gao Zhisen and Huang Baiming is indeed very good. Both of them are screenwriters, and they are like-minded.

At the same time, Gao Zhisen also knew that Huang Baiming's help would be indispensable if he wanted to become a first-line director.

"To set up a film company in your name, we have to prove that we are right! If it doesn't work...we can only compete with Mecca once." Huang Baiming calmly said, "We will see the truth at the box office!"

Gao Zhisen nodded.

Huang Baiming's plan is undoubtedly a bit risky, but it is indeed a coup.If the films produced by their established company overwhelm the films dominated by Mecca, Huang Baiming can use a high-profile way to "grab the class and seize power".

This play was called "Family Carnival" in history.

……

"This is the skill of killing with a knife!"

In the manager's office of Golden Harvest, Zou Dingou calmly said to He Guanchang and his brother Zou Wenhuai, "Only by boiling the pool of water during the summer vacation can we have a chance to curb the development momentum of the 1024 locomotive.

Back then, we joined forces with Shaw Brothers to make New Art City feel like an enemy, but it also made them more united.Later, Sanmao invited Mecca to film a movie, but they were disintegrated instead.

What I think is, let's not blindly shout and kill.Rather than saying that we are on the front line, it is better to use ghosts to deal with Wu Xiaozu!
If he wins, that's what he deserves!Who made him the light of the Chinese?A slight mistake... I think he will be affected, right?You must know that many movie fans now have a high voice for placing him as the number one director on Hong Kong Island!They even call him the flag of Hong Kong Island...

This reminds me suddenly of the banking crisis in Hong Kong Island, when a large amount of Chinese capital was acquired by British capital, and even Hang Seng was controlled by the British.

It can't be the pride of Hong Kong Island today - the same is true for the film industry, right?As the light of the Chinese, he must win beautifully... Besides, no matter whether it is us, New Art City, or Debao, we will not really sit back and watch him become bigger——

Maybe Xinbao Cinemas is not willing either!Therefore, instead of maximizing the so-called benefits, it is better for everyone to show their faces and sing together.If we lose, we don't lose much.On the contrary, it can make room for our own movies.On the contrary, as long as it is not too miserable, it is a small profit!
On the contrary, the 1024 locomotive wins again... Boss, brother Chang, what do you think the two of Xinbao Cinemas will do?If I remember correctly, during the Lunar New Year this year, they took advantage of Wu Xiaozu's absence, so they counted them once, right?If Li Licheng hadn't been born out of nowhere, perhaps there would have been cracks inside the 1024 locomotive back then...

As far as I know, the 1024 locomotive drama "Little Man Weekly" failed at the box office, which made Xinbao Cinemas slightly dissatisfied.After all, Xinbao Cinemas was not opened for Wu Xiaozu!How many independent production companies are staring at it..."

When Zou Dingou said this, he shook his head and cursed, "Wu Xiaozu is ambitious! If he hadn't introduced Taiwanese capital into Hong Kong at the beginning, if he hadn't used "Double Heroes" to support Chen and Feng's new treasure theaters, they would not be here now. It made our Golden Harvest theaters so passive.

The artists, cooperative studios, and companies under our banner are not satisfied with our box office distribution, which has led many people to invest in the embrace of Xinbao Cinemas.

However, this also gave Chen and Feng confidence. "

"Is this what you came up with?"

With a cigar in his mouth, Zou Wen looked at Zou Dingou with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction, "For North American films to enter the Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian markets, Golden Harvest will be the first to win. I have no objection to using it to test the waters this time." .

However, if we borrow a knife to kill someone, we are not borrowing a knife from a ghost..."

"That's right~"

He Guanchong also smiled, holding his coffee, and said, "It doesn't matter whether Wu Xiaozu wins or not. The important thing is that he is in the army of Xinbao Cinema! This is interesting. I can still think of those two Young Master's face."

"Tell me, will they turn their faces?" Zou Dingou tried to ask.

"Heh~ Someone thinks money is hot?"

Zou Wenhuai smiled schemingly, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said domineeringly, "Don't think too much! 1024 Locomotive develops to the end, as long as there is no theater support, he will at most make waves in the field of production and distribution, and he will not be killed. The third prince of the Dragon King! Nowadays, the proportion of the box office in other places in Southeast Asia is getting higher and higher, and our Golden Harvest advantage is getting bigger and bigger!

If those two from Xinbao Cinemas are really so short-sighted—I don’t mind Golden Harvest Cinemas cooperating with a young man like Wu Xiaozu!Don't make money, you bastard! "

"There will be careful thinking, but the stumbling block should be controlled to a certain extent." He Guanchan smiled.

Although they hope that Xinbao Cinemas will fall out with Wu Xiaozu, the probability of such a thing happening is too low.

In business, profit comes first.

If it is profitable, this will not happen.

……

Mong Kok, Monday.

Countless commuters hurriedly started a new week with pineapple buns or West Toasts and drove the crowded buses and subways.

The intersection is full of pedestrians waiting to cross the street.

"Sir, what do you need to report? Okay, San Mosquito~"

The newsboy smiled and sold a newspaper to the man in T-shirt and slacks, then turned aside to continue selling newspapers.

Many office workers waiting for the bus will buy one.

Ye Wei pursed his lips and grabbed the pineapple bun, and while the bus was still coming, he shook open the newspaper.

"Sylvester Stallone's iron fist shakes the Quartet, Golden Harvest Theater holds fan meeting" - "Oriental Daily".

"Hollywood star Mr. Stallone has come to Hong Kong recently to promote the new drama "Rambo 3"! This Saturday at [-]:[-] am will hold a fan meeting, lucky fans will be drawn at that time, and the biggest prize will be a photo with Hollywood superstars opportunities... At the same time, there is a chance to get the reward of the ten-day trip to Dongying, watch movies, and win travel! Everyone is for me, and I am for everyone!"

"Jiahe invested so much money?"

Ye Wei chewed on the pineapple buns, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Jiahe's propaganda efforts.

"The competition for summer slots is really fierce—"

When he saw the bus coming, he couldn't help shaking his head.The promotional poster of "School Storm" was pasted on the vehicle, and the huge "Storm Trilogy" gimmick was particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, go to the movies tonight? Wang Jing's new play is showing at Xinbao Cinemas, starring Ah B and Dudu, it must be very interesting!" A white-collar worker next to him murmured to his companion.

"Wang Jing's play is so funny, okay, let's go together after get off work..." The companion obviously liked Wang Jing's tone.

You can say that Wang Jing is a kitsch market, or you can say that he is shitting and pissing, and he is not in the elegant hall.But he himself has a very accurate pulse on the market.Everywhere can seize the selling point and make money at the box office.

This down-to-earth approach is also the reason why he is always in the comedy box office.

With the box office success of several films in a row, Wang Jing also began to form his own fans.Many young people like his comedy movies with a hippie smile.

On the contrary, the style of Xu Guanwen, the former sneer maker, began to lose the market of many young people.One generation entertains another generation, and sometimes it makes sense. . .

The smoke of the summer box office battle has been ignited.

Xinbao Cinemas launched "Mr. Evil", Golden Harvest introduced "Rambo 3", and Princess Jin released "School".

The three films all have their own moviegoing audiences, which also heated up the market for a while.

At the same time, many people's eyes are fixed on the 1024 locomotive.

No way, who told you that Wu Xiaozu is the great director of Cannes?Who made you jump the most?
Whether it's Golden Harvest, New Art City or Debao, it doesn't mean that Wu Xiaozu must be targeted.

But Wu Xiaozu's record in the past was too sharp.

This time with the remaining power of Cannes, they have to pay attention!
This is like the summer file or Spring Festival file for future generations.The one with the most fame must get the most attention!
……

1024 Locomotive Films.

“《兰博3》定档7月15，《学校风云》定档7月17，《鸡同鸭讲》定档7月18，同我们一天！《虎胆龙威》定档7月19日。”

Holding the documents, Yu Weiguo said with a heavy expression on his face, "Brother Zu—do you see?"

"point?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Yu Weiguo's serious expression with a smile, and joked, "Be happy. They should be nervous about us now... Brother Zhen is very calm!"

Besides, the summer vacation time is only so long, which day is the competition fierce and low?How are the box office of the two films in North America? "

""First Blood 3" has a North American box office of more than 5000 million U.S. dollars, and "Die Hard" is even more so, exceeding 8300 million U.S. dollars! It is definitely in the top [-], or even the top [-] of the year!" Yu Weiguo replied.

"These guys are really not afraid of death?"

Zhang Jiazhen, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help laughing, "This year's summer file is really fiercely competitive! No one will give in at all! This really feels like expanding the scale of the summer file!
I estimate that this year's summer file will set a record for the total box office of the summer file since the opening of Hong Kong Island!Local, Western, and Wan Wan films all compete intensively, which is really a hard bridge and a hard horse! "

"The times are different. Now everyone values ​​the summer film, and naturally no one is willing to let it go. And this year's Lunar New Year and Spring Festival films have also made a good start! Several film companies have contributed high-quality works with different styles, which have influenced and It's not as big as imagined. It's not like back then when Golden Harvest and New Art City were fighting each other!

Now everyone has different styles, and there are more opportunities for customers to choose!At the same time, the hotter summer season will only allow more audiences who usually do not buy tickets to enter the theater to choose to watch movies.At the same time, it will also empty the pockets of the target group..."

In the previous life, since 1988, the film market on Hong Kong Island has entered a stage of flourishing.Although there are countless bad movies, there are also many good movies.At the same time, it was catching up with last year's financial and stock market losses...often at times like this, in order to stimulate consumption, the government will instead make the entertainment market prosper.

Moreover, although the stock market has blown up, the economic development of Hong Kong Island has not been affected.It even broke a certain amount of middle-class consumption traps and entered the opportunity for GDD to exceed [-] US dollars.

This situation is just like the previous life, where good movies gathered.

At that time, it was a direct reflection of the more mature film market.At this time, the same is true!
"Since everyone wants to see who is stronger and who is weaker between us and the ghost, then let's make gestures together! Kill someone with a knife?" Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.

He understands the situation.

It seems that if the 1024 locomotive wants to develop, it will naturally take this path.

However, Wu Xiaozu didn't really refuse to make this knife!

This knife is fast enough to cut leeks better...

That's right!

Although Wu Xiaozu attaches great importance to the box office market this time, in fact, he is more concerned about his own capital operation this time!

If it really succeeds, then it will be fun... Will the money be so much that the people in Golden Harvest, New Art City, and Debao are at a loss? ?

Now he really wants to see the faces of those old friends at that time, it must be very interesting!

"Since you insist on letting me stand out, the stage is already here, so it doesn't seem good if I don't say a few words?"

Wu Xiaozu smiled.

"..." Yu Weiguo looked up.

"Then be more arrogant, so as not to be caught by these old foxes who are tricky and gossip! Just think when I come back from Cannes in high spirits!"

Wu Xiaozu smiled and said, "Notify "Daily Daily" and communicate with TVB, we can blow it up..."

Everyone wants to play the game of borrowing a knife to kill someone.

Wu Xiaozu didn't mind playing with him.Originally, he was worried that in the stock market, "God of Gamblers" alone would not be able to make waves and attract more leeks!
It just so happens that everyone is cooperating with him now!
This time, I will take the opportunity of a new high in the historical box office of summer movies to give investors a little confidence.

Let them see the development potential of the film entertainment industry, otherwise who would be willing to give it up?
The more intense the summer schedule, the more it proves the gold content and potential of the "entertainment first stock", and more people will be willing to invest in it.

Otherwise, Wu Xiaozu would really have to spend a little more effort!
　Thank you for your support!
