Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 399 Box Office Failure
It has been more than half a month since the release of "Young and Dangerous".

During this time, Chen Jinhui has been preparing to shoot the second part.

And after a period of preparation, all preparations for the next part are ready.

Because of the popularity of the first part, the filming of the second part is about to start. When looking for roles, many famous actors took the initiative to come to the door.

Although Chen Jinhui was very puzzled about He Jin not wanting Huang Qiuri, he naturally listened to what the boss said.

Therefore, after he went back that afternoon, he immediately called Huang Qiuri and told him about being deleted.

"Director Chen, may I ask, did I get brushed off? Is it my acting skills or something else?"

On the phone, Huang Qiuri asked.

"I'm sorry, we've looked carefully, and you're not quite suitable for this role."

Naturally, Chen Jinhui would not say that you were dismissed by He Jin's name.

Wouldn't that be betraying He Jin?

Therefore, he found a panacea reason for the crew to slap people.

The role is not suitable, this reason is always the strongest reason for the crew to brush people.

No matter how good your acting skills are, if the crew says you are not suitable, it is not suitable, and there is no other reason to explain it.

"Then may I ask, are there any other characters in your film? I can play anything."

Starring in a blockbuster movie, it's definitely a facelift.

Look at Wu Zhenyu.

This guy used to be a small supporting role in various production crews.

But since "Young and Dangerous" exploded at the box office, it immediately made him famous and became a guest of the major crews.

Xiangjiang has always been a hit at the box office of any type of movie, and there will be a bunch of follow-up movies behind it.

Therefore, during this period of time, a large number of young and Dangerous movies have been established.

Wu Zhenyu's plot in "Young and Dangerous" has ended, so he is now being scooped up by other crews.

Many crews like him to play villains in the past.

With Wu Zhenyu's lessons learned.

Huang Qiuri naturally hopes to use "Young and Dangerous Part [-]" to catch the fire.

"Sorry! The role selection is almost finished, let's work together again next time we have a chance!"

Chen Jinhui could tell that He Jin didn't want Huang Qiuri.

Although I don't know how this guy offended He Jin, but he definitely won't let Huang Qiuri in it again, even if Young and Dangerous is actually a bad character now.

Therefore, he directly refused to let him into the crew.

After speaking, Chen Jinhui hung up the phone.

……

He Jin didn't know about Chen Jinhui and Huang Qiuri.

After Andy Lau and others left, he got into the study.

The time has come in April 1994, and it's time for Little Jewish's new album to be produced.

Her Mandarin album "Promise" released in January has sold [-] million copies so far.

This data may be nothing compared to He Jin's data.

But this data is definitely the top data among all singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

And this data also makes Little Jew the best sales data among female singers.

There is no way, the three songs "Promise", "Taste", and "See You Late" are really too popular.

Since its release in January, these three songs are the few songs that can be compared with the songs in He Jin's "Friendship" album.

The huge sales of the Mandarin album has raised Little Jew's status and popularity in the entire Chinese music scene to a new level.

I don't know about the future, but at present, she directly overwhelmed Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian and Wang Jingwen to become the most popular female singer.

And when it comes to Wang Jiawen, I have to mention one thing.

Perhaps due to the continuous efforts of Little Jews on Mandarin records, Wang Jiawen gradually felt that relying on the Cantonese market alone might not be able to stabilize her position.

Yes, Wang Jiawen has always relied only on the Cantonese market.

Since she became popular with "A Woman Easily Injured" in 1992, her albums have always been Cantonese albums, and no Mandarin albums have been released.

Because of this, her current situation is very limited.

Many people know that Xiangjiang has a queen named Wang Jiawen, and they know that she is very good in Xiangjiang.

But I haven't heard any of her songs.

Cantonese songs have a wide audience because of Hong Kong movies, but compared with the Mandarin market that has gradually opened up in the past few years, it is still a lot worse.

Therefore, just last month, Wang Jiawen announced her official entry into the Taiwanese music scene and began preparations for her first Mandarin album.

At the same time, she also officially announced that she changed her original name back to Faye Wong.

In the future, she will use the name Faye Wong to roam the music world.

It is interesting to say that Wang Jingwen is also Faye Wong's name.

Many people always thought that Wang Jingwen was her real name, but it was not.

She has three names in total.

One name was Xia Lin, which she had given after her mother's surname. Before she was sixteen, she had been using the name Xia Lin.

After she was sixteen, she came to Xiangjiang to her father.

So she followed her father's surname Wang and named her Faye Wong.

As for Wang Jingwen, this is the stage name she got after she signed with Xinyibao, which is Polygram's branch in Xiangjiang.

Some people say that gold shines everywhere, which is not unreasonable.

After Faye Wong announced her entry into the Taiwanese music scene, she released the Mandarin album "Fan" within a month.

The album's title song "I Do" quickly climbed to the top of many charts in the Chinese-speaking region within a week of its release.

Faye Wong will not talk about it for now.

Little Jewish Zhou Huimin's "Promise" became popular, which forced He Jin and Huaxing Records to temporarily change their plans for her this year.

According to the plan, her Cantonese album this year will be released in August and September.

But the popularity of "The Promise" forced He Jin and others to temporarily change their minds.

In order to take over the heat brought by "Promise", He Jin decided to let her release the album in June.

Therefore, He Jin has to quickly help her choose the title song of the album.

To be honest, He Jin also has a headache now.

After receiving past life memories, he understood better than anyone else that since 1995, with the expansion of the Mandarin market and singers began to focus on the Mandarin market, there have been fewer and fewer classic Cantonese songs.

Throughout the 90s, most of the songs that were widely sung in later generations were songs before 1995.

Although there are classic songs in the late 90s and after 2000, the number of songs is much less than that in the early 90s and 80s.

Therefore, he is now hesitant about which song to choose for Little Jew.

After some hesitation.

He wrote three songs on paper.

"Favorites"

"Gizmos"

"I'm lonely"

The song "Favorite" was originally a classic song of Little Jewish in the previous life, so it is very suitable to use it as the main title.

The only flaw is that this song is an adapted song.

《最爱》是中岛美雪创作给柏原芳惠的歌曲，于1984年09月05日发售单曲《最爱/やさしい女》，收录在柏原芳惠1984年10月25日发售的专辑《最爱》中。

Nakajima Miyuki's version was included in the album "御色なおし" released on April 1985, 04.

But fortunately, He Jin has a good relationship with Nakajima Miyuki.

Miyuki Nakajima once sang He Jin's "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" and adapted He Jin's "Sad Pacific Ocean".

With this relationship, it is quite easy for He Jin to obtain the copyright from her.

And "Gadgets" and "I'm Lonely".

Although these two songs may not be very famous in the future, these two songs are not simple.

These two songs are the top ten golden songs in 1995, and they are songs sung by Peng Ling and Priscilla Chan.

According to He Jin's idea, "Favorite" has a relatively high popularity and is used to drive sales.

The other two songs are used to drive word of mouth.

In this way, word-of-mouth and sales coexist, and this album is naturally declared a success.

Little Jew's Cantonese album still has ten songs.

Except for the three title songs produced by He Jin, the other songs were created by other creators of the company.

The quality of these songs is good, and the inclusion on the album is just right.

……

He Jin rested for two days.

Two days later, he rushed back to the "Fast and Furious" crew.

He intends to finish filming this movie as soon as possible, and then hurry up to shoot the MV of his own album.

Although He Jin hadn't been on the set for two days, the set didn't stop.

Although He Jin's character is the protagonist, it is impossible for him to be present in every scene.

Taking advantage of He Jin's absence for these two days, the crew filmed some scenes of other people.

Therefore, when he was resting, the production crew did not stop working, but instead seized the time to catch up with the progress.

Three days.

He Jin filmed with the crew for three days.

On April [-]th, "Fast and Furious" finally announced that it was finished.

[He Jin can't afford the box office, the box office of "Tianshan Child Elder" is only [-] million. 】

On the morning of the [-]th, He Jin drove to the MV shooting location, because it was not yet the shooting time, so he started to read the newspaper when he had nothing to do.

Pick up the first newspaper, it's about him.

But this news is not good news, but bad news.

"Is "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Elder" released?"

He Jin saw the news and asked.

Because this movie is not owned by his own company, he paid attention to it except during the promotional period, and he didn't pay attention to it later.

Xiaoping, who was next to her, nodded when she heard the words, "Yes, it was screened the day before yesterday, with a total box office of [-] million."

"You don't need to care about these newspapers, a movie doesn't represent anything at all!"

Xiaoping glanced at the newspaper in He Jin's hand, and said.

"I have nothing to care about, it doesn't affect me."

He Jin said.

It is actually impossible to say that there is no influence, it just depends on whether He Jin cares.

As the leading actor of a movie, many times, the failure of the movie will be attributed to the leading actor.

Especially He Jin.

As the head of the five heavenly kings, his salary has always been at the forefront of many stars in Xiangjiang.

Some time ago, his film salary even caught up with Andy Lau, reaching [-] million for a movie.

It's a pity that all of this may be accompanied by the failure of "Tianshan Child Elder", and his film salary will definitely come down.

No way, the reason why his salary was so high before was due to the explosive sales of the album "Friendship", and in addition, he won many major music awards in January.

With the blessing of multiple heats, his salary naturally skyrocketed.

If the box office of his films released this year is a lot of money for the producers, it goes without saying that his salary will definitely be stable.

Unfortunately, the movie "Tianlong Babu: Tianshan Child Elder", which Yongsheng invested more than [-] million yuan, failed.

PS: The remuneration for this film was paid by Insein last year, together with "The Demon Sect Leader: Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

Originally, movies are something that earns and loses, and the failure of a movie is hard to beat people down.

It's a pity that He Jin was unlucky, and the films he starred in consecutive releases actually lost money.

This immediately made many producers feel that He Jin's popularity is false.

As a result, they naturally began to seriously consider cooperation with He Jin.

And with fewer companies to invite, his market remuneration naturally fell faster and faster, directly dropping from [-] million in January, February and March back to [-] million.

The figure of [-] million is still much higher than that of Liming, Aaron Kwok, and Jacky Cheung.

But this is also normal, although he failed twice at the box office, but in terms of popularity, he is still the top five heavenly kings.

Of course, the salary and word of mouth collapsed a bit, but He Jin didn't panic at all.

First of all, his background is in the music world, as long as his records continue to be released and he is not pushed on the beach by the back waves, then with his huge fan base, he is still the most beautiful boy.

Moreover, he has finished filming now, but there are still two films that have not yet been released.

It's like Andy Lau was scolded for bankrupting the producer today, and the next day because of another movie making profit for the producer, so that he never fails.

In the same way, the same is true of He Jin now.

Although two consecutive films have failed, as long as "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" and "Fast and Furious" make a profit at the box office, there is no doubt that his status will not be shaken.

Of course, it goes without saying that if these two films lose money, other companies will never look for him except for the film that He Jin invested in himself.

No matter how popular you are, if you don't make money, it's useless to find it.

However, the chances of this are very small.

According to He Jin's memory, the box office of the movie "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" is still very impressive.

In later generations, much has been said about 1994.

What a year for the most classic movies.

What Xiangjiang film went down the year.

There are many sayings.

And there is a saying that this is the year of Zhengdong Film and Television.

As for why we say this, the reason is naturally that all the movies produced by Zhengdong Film and Television this year have made a profit for Zhengdong, and they are all classic movies in later generations.

"New Five Ancestors of Shaolin", "Heroes of Fist of Fury", "Letter to Dad", "Bodyguard of Zhongnanhai".

These films were all shot in 1994.

Except for "Letter to Dad", which was released in February 1995, all other films were released in 2, and created very considerable profit funds for Zhengdong Film and Television.

Among them, although the box office of "New Shaolin Five Ancestors" is lower than that of several other films, it is still a profitable movie.

Of course, because the starring role of this drama has changed from Jet Li to He Jin, this will definitely have some impact.

But in He Jin's view, this impact should not be too much.

Well, this is He Jin's self-confidence.

Although his action scenes may not be as beautiful as Jet Li, they are not bad.

As for the appearance and acting skills.

Needless to say, He Dashuaibi's good looks.

In terms of acting skills, his performance in the past year has already caught up with Jet Li.

Well, maybe it's talent!no way.
