My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 7 Filming is business first, then entertainment
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a recommendation ticket!A wave of collections.

Four 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars.

In Xiangjiang in 1986, there was no more, no less.

You can buy an old apartment in a bad location.It may also be a gamble by the rich and lose everything.

In the previous life, it seems that when I mentioned the Hong Kong movies in the 80s, the first impression was that they were low-cost, small-scale production, and small and big.

It is customary to use the house price at that time to refer to the investment amount of a movie to prove the so-called purchasing power.

There is a word called "to be partial to the whole".

Probably they often give an example: In 82, the purchasing power of 50 Hong Kong dollars could buy an ordinary small villa of a small meter, so if you spend 100 million to make a movie, it is a big production.Generally, a small production of 20 to [-] is OK!
Actually?
We all know the reasons for the low housing prices on Hong Kong Island at this point in time.Don't mention the specifics, make up your own mind.

In 1982, before Wu Xiaozu was imprisoned.With his back to Lei Daheng, Mai bald head of Xinyicheng was in high spirits, and he pointed the country to promote words.Get ready for a big fight and challenge the might of Golden Harvest!

The first plan is to find a messed up brother who is popular on the small screen, and come to perform the summer blockbuster of Xinyi City - the hero of the Hong Kong version of "007", that is, it became a hit later, set box office records, and hyped an IP "Best Partner" in the series.

But, where did Fa Ge at that time have the heart to make a movie?

He was busy arguing with Sister Lian at the time, so he arrogantly refused.

That's right, Zhou Runfa refused!
I chose to give up my career for the sake of love. Of course, it was later proved that if the relationship was broken, no matter how to save it, it would not help.

It is better to keep each other's beauty and choose to let go when there is no resentment.

In short, the singer Xu Guanjie actually belongs to the "spare tire" of Xinyi City.But a spare tire is always better than a jack.

The King of Songs is very bold, the lion gnaws at the hydrangea, and you Xinyicheng want to have a hard anus, Jiahe, that's good.

At this stage of Xiangjiang, apart from Zhou Runfa, I, Xu Laosi, are the most popular, and there is no need to talk about the 200 million film salary plus box office share.

The cost of anti-water Jiahe is too low of course not worth it!
At that time, Xu's Film Company was backed by Jiahe, and it could be said that it had a lot of scenery.

Xu Guanjie is famous in the music world, and the movie world is equally majestic. "Half a catty and eight taels" and "The Prodigal Boy" have successively sold well at the box office.

Yes, at this time, Brother Xu Guanjie called out the concept of box office division.

In fact, the best player to play with this concept is none other than Boss Zou of Golden Harvest, and even the star studio opened by later stars is the rest of Boss Zou.

Zou Wenhuai is still a relatively ambitious and responsible filmmaker.

This is much stronger than others.He has a much longer-term vision than a few intriguing guys in Xinyi City.

Mecca reported to Boss Lei: Cheng Long and Sammo Hung from Golden Harvest have already thrown money and are expected to prepare for the filming of "Plan A" and "Master Long", both of which are produced by Golden Harvest.

We want to be an instant hit, but we can't guarantee Guan Jie's box office.

Lei Daheng is ambitious to set up the Golden Princess Company and invest in film companies such as Xinyicheng and Yongjia.
He also said that Lei Tycoon is really rich, without saying a word, he threw the cashier's check directly on Mecca's face, and waved his big hand——

anal him!Don't be shy, Jiahe's elite?Lao Tzu is fighting the elite of Jiahe!
Therefore, we all know what happened later. Xu Guanjie had no friends for a while because of "Best Partner" and became popular in Southeast Asia.

Only Brother Fa was left holding Lianmei and the two of them performed "You are cruel, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable to make trouble...", and they burst into tears.

And secretly play self-mutilation, play suicide.Pretty boy's hair almost turned into corpse hair.

A generation of superstars even came close to dying in a bottle of cleaner.

If it wasn't for the servants to find out in time, how could Fa Ge complete the masterpieces of "Macau Pitting Money 1" and "Macau Continues to Pit Money" in future generations?
In the final analysis, film is still a commercial operation, which belongs to the category of art and entertainment under the commercial industry.

At least few people make a movie with the original intention of losing money, right?

Even the King of Sunglasses, in addition to his artistic pursuit at the beginning, still has a little bit of seeking market recognition, right?

It belongs to both wanting to be happy and wanting everyone to be happy together, otherwise why should it be released in theaters?

Loneliness is the carnival of one person, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

It's a pity that his world is indeed full of loneliness, but there are fewer people in the lonely world to accompany him to carnival.

The King of Sunglasses is therefore lonely at the box office.Looking at the group of literary and artistic goods that hold salons in the Director's Association on weekdays, he cursed: "You promised to go to the white head together, but you secretly baked oil."

The rapid economic development of Hong Kong and the changes in the Sino-British situation have led to the emergence of a frothy and deformed economy, and a false prosperity has appeared in Hong Kong, which has brought social turmoil, impetuousness and pressure of people's hearts.

This situation has created the vigorous development of Hong Kong Films since the late 70s.

After the baptism of the new wave, the Hong Kong film industry has entered a blowout.

The development of any entertainment market is inseparable from the influence of the external environment, which is beyond doubt.Resolutely anyway.

Xiangjiang movies are getting more and more popular like a volcanic eruption, and the production cost is also rising.The reason for the impression of small cost and small production is nothing more than the irregularity of the market and the drive of interests.

If it’s true that a theater-line commercial blockbuster movie can be made for as low as 30 million yuan, how can those film companies that have lost money and closed down explain it?

During the peak period of Hong Kong, there were more than [-] film and leather bag companies with names.

If a grave is dug for burial, there is not enough land on Hong Kong Island for burial.

When the time comes to the timeline of 86, a commercial theater film will cost a base of 200 million.

Movies with big production, big cast and big stars, at least 400 million, or even 800 million.

In the final analysis, Hong Kong movies are too hot and too culturally impactful.

There is even a grand scene that as long as the local box office in Hong Kong sells well, Wanwan, South Korea, RB, Southeast Asia and other places will also sell well.

As a result, Southeast Asian film dealers and cinema dealers waved checks to grab film sources and film flowers.

Now if you want to shoot a low-cost movie, you need at least hundreds of thousands to support it.

An ordinary lamp master of a lighting group will start work for you at least 2000 yuan.The people behind the scenes get paid raises, not to mention the actors.

Brother Fa first appeared in the movie in 75, but the real starring role was "Pool Girl" filmed by Xie Li Company in 76. He was cooperating with the beautiful beauty Yu An'an, the first hair sister-in-law.

When he was still called Liangzaifa, he was paid only a few thousand yuan.

In the past ten years, Zhou Runfa's film achievements have been so-so, but the small screen has become more and more smooth.

On the big screen, Liang Zai Fa has turned into poison hair, but even so, his income has increased more than tenfold from salary to salary.

To open a play, 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars is still available.

Thinking about it, the person who wanted to call him poison the most was Wu Xieli, the boss of Xieli Films.

The big boss started to support him one after another, but one after another hit the street.

The early Zhou Runfa was indeed very literary, and he had not figured out his commercial side, or his commercial performance.

"The True Color of Heroes" Zhou Runfa is a friendship star, and the price of the supporting role should also be 10 yuan.

There's no way, even if Fa Ge has been pitting producers and investors one after another, he can't hold back his reputation.Similar to the little fresh meat stars of later generations.There is no big box office appeal, but there are a lot of fans.

It was so hot that some TV fans went to his trash can, so scared that Fage didn't dare to use more toilet paper, for fear that a woman would suddenly jump out and give birth to him, and then asked himself if he was happy.Fans were so crazy back then!

As for this phenomenal movie, 50 is him, and 100 million is him.

Anyway, in the early 90s, as long as Hua Tsai's name was posted, some filmmakers were willing to spend 800 million on flowers.

At that time, Liu Dehua's salary was 300 million yuan, do you believe it?Otherwise, why do you think those corporate film companies hired him with a script and a gun?This is faster than printing money.

Therefore, Wu Xiaozu is now filming.In commercial movies, the star effect does not need to be considered.

40 Hong Kong dollars only!Do you want to invite Zhou Runfa's leg to act?
"It's even rich, so it's no problem to make movies? Wow! I didn't expect that we could make movies too, hahaha..."

Fei Cheng's face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes glowed, "Can we invite Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Hong Gu, and Lin Qingxia to act?"

"..."

Looking at Wu Xiaozu's eyes, nose, nose and mouth, Fat Cheng opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Should I change to Zhao Yazhi, Xu Xiaoming, Qiuguan, Huang Rihua, Liu Songren, Li Saifeng?"

Fei Cheng was sobbing and grimacing, with a lifeless expression, "Won't even Shi Tian have enough money to invite him to film?"

"Do you think I'm a boy with loose money? Or do you want us to get stars to perform on stage?"

Wu Xiaozu glared at him, "Don't you need equipment for filming? You don't need to find someone to work? Do you want the four of us to film? You boss, I'm 40, not 4000 million! Bad boy—"

"Qian..." Fei Cheng shrank his neck, his eyes suddenly lit up, he shook his curly hair, and threw a wink, "Boss, why don't I really sell my ass? Maybe there will be a rich woman. Do you like this one for me?"

"I like you? Is the rich woman greedy for meat?" Luo Dong said disdainfully.

"Hey, it's better for you to talk like this, maybe there is a pork chop that likes you." As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Luo Dong stand up with a bad look, his face changed suddenly, and he turned pale with fright.

"East brother! No... Causeway Bay Zheng Shaoqiu! Qiuguan, I know I was wrong!"

Fei Cheng licked his face and begged for mercy, "I'm wearing Zhou Run's clothes in Causeway Bay! I beg you to be as beautiful as you are, give me a face for this face! Okay, the number one handsome boy in Causeway Bay. Pretty boy East?"

"What did you call me?"

“The number one handsome boy in Causeway Bay!”

"next time--"

Luo Dong narrowed his eyes, nodded in satisfaction, glanced at Fei Cheng, gestured with both hands, and said, "The scope can be expanded, for example, the number one on Hong Kong Island is not bad..."

"sure……"

Fei Cheng nodded hurriedly, his eyes suddenly swept to the boss Wu Xiaozu, and he quickly shook his head, "No, no, in my heart, Zu is of course the number one handsome boy on Hong Kong Island!"

The dog-legged approached Wu Xiaozu and flattered him.

"Boss, I am the second handsome boy on Hong Kong Island and I will defend your status as the first handsome boy in Hong Kong Island to the death."

Convex!

The three looked at each other.Then they jumped up and tried their best to express their brotherhood to each other.

……

The next day, Causeway Bay, Longcheng Ice Room.

"Two ham and omelette sandwiches with bacon and iced coffee! Two pork chop rice with orange juice, one cheese scrambled egg toast with pineapple butter bread with coffee..."

There were a lot of people dining on the first floor. Zu Liyao greeted the guests with a pen and paper and ordered the two waiters to order.

In the back of the kitchen, Wu Xiaozu put two ham and omelette sandwiches in the mouth of the meal, rang the bell, and picked up the wet towel hanging around his neck to wipe his sweat.

Just like a chef Wu's dress.

After the morning rush hour, two guys were left to watch the store, and the four of them left in a car.
