Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 561 Breaking [-] Million Easily
Although the word-of-mouth of "Fast and Furious" is polarized, everyone knows that this movie has been successful.

The question now is just how successful the film will be.

As an all-Chinese film, it was produced by a company registered in Xiangjiang.

The success of "Fast and Furious" can be said to have greatly encouraged practitioners in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

In the past two years, the Taiwan market has begun to step up its review of Hong Kong films.

Coupled with the continuous impact of American blockbusters on the market.

This made many smart people have a premonition, knowing that Xiangjiang films have begun to gradually decline.

And with the appearance of Jackie Chan's "Red Fan District" in February and now He Jin's "Fast and Furious".

This made many Xiangjiang film companies have an idea that entering Hollywood is actually very simple.

In the next two weeks, a number of film companies have announced new projects with high profile, and when the projects were established, they were vaguely benchmarked against "Red Zone" and "Fast and Furious".

globalization.

This is the most discussed issue among major film companies in Hong Kong recently.

With the re-success of "Fast and Furious", some North American filmmakers have set their sights on Xiangjiang.

They began to contact the major film companies in Hong Kong frequently, and planned to import some films that had been popular in the Xiangjiang area from the film libraries of these companies.

Among them are the works of Zhou Xingchi, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and other Hong Kong's biggest movie stars.

It can be said that the success of He Jin's "Fast and Furious" has even revitalized a part of the Xiangjiang market to a certain extent.

Most of the film companies in Hong Kong were blinded by this trend, and did not see the risks involved.

I only know about internationalization and going to Hollywood.

Influenced by He Jin and Jackie Chan, it is not only certain film companies that want to enter the North American market.

And actors.

When the box office data of "Fast and Furious" continued to rise and brought great popularity, Chow Yun-fat, a famous actor in Hong Kong and with the title of double Monday success, announced in a high-profile manner that he would move to Hollywood when promoting the movie "Peace Hotel".

Moreover, it is said that in order to better adapt to Hollywood, Chow Yun-fat turned down all the movies in his hand and planned to spend time learning English in order to cope with the next trip to Hollywood.

This incident caused a certain range of sensation in Xiangjiang, and even the news reached He Jin and others who continued to promote "Fast and Furious" in the United States.

During a "Fast and Furious" promotional event, a reporter from Xiangjiang asked He Jin about it.

"Ah Jin, Brother Fa is actively preparing to enter Hollywood, do you think he can succeed in Hollywood?"

Many outsiders say that the reason why Chow Yun-fat suddenly announced his intention to enter Hollywood is largely due to the influence of He Jin and Andy Lau.

Especially Andy Lau.

He Jin's words already have a fan base in North America, so Chow Yun Fat feels that he is not comparable to him.

But Andy Lau is different.

Neither of them are people with special skills like He Jin and Jackie Chan, they both rely on literature and drama for a living.

And Chow Yun Fat thinks his acting skills are better than Andy Lau, and his debut time is also longer.

And now Andy Lau has suddenly become famous in North America because of "Fast and Furious", which naturally made Chow Yun Fat feel a little bit.

"I very much hope Fat Gor will be successful!"

He Jin said so.

About Chow Yun Fat's trip to Hollywood.

how to say.

He may be regarded as a good Chinese actor who has entered Hollywood, after all, he has played the leading role.

But seriously, that's about it for his Hollywood journey.

In his previous life, Chow Yun-fat also started to let go of the Xiangjiang market in 1995, focusing on Hollywood, and struggled until 2005.

In the past ten years, although he had a reputation, he once became a real international superstar with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It's a pity that apart from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he didn't have any good works after that.

Compared with Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who also entered Hollywood but quickly became popular with Kung Fu, his Hollywood career is undoubtedly a failure.

Although he is not optimistic about this matter in his heart, He Jin will definitely not say it.

He and Chow Yun-fat are just nodding acquaintances, and certain things cannot be said indiscriminately.

Once said, it may offend people.

Therefore, He Jin simply made a perfunctory sentence.

Chow Yun-fat's matter had nothing to do with He Jin, and he didn't pay much attention to it. If there is a chance in the future, he might be able to give him a push.

But now, He Jin thinks it's better for him to do his own thing well and not mind his own business.

It takes strength to meddle in other people's affairs, and He Jin can't do it that much right now.

……

With the beginning of a new week, the promotion of "Fast and Furious" has increased, and the main creators of the crew have frequently exposed themselves in the media, attracting more people's attention.

Several leading actors have accepted interviews from different media, and they have accumulated a certain popularity in North America.

These are all things that help the film stay hot.

In addition, starting from Monday, the number of theater screenings of "Fast and Furious", as well as the number of film schedules, have increased successively, which are the basis for generating box office.

Thanks to the continued popularity of the film and the increase in screen schedules, the box office on the first working day of the film was only [-]% lower than that of Sunday, earning [-] million box office.

Subsequently, with the increasing popularity and the continuous communication between the new line and the theater to increase the number of screens, the box office trend of "Fast and Furious" continued to be stable, winning 210 million US dollars, 230 million US dollars, 260 million US dollars, 207 Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

A total of 1107 million US dollars was accumulated in five days.

In addition to the two days of last weekend and the seven days of release, the box office of "Fast and Furious" easily broke through the [-] million mark.

"I used to know that the North American market is huge, and movies can easily earn millions of dollars. Now I have experienced it myself, and it is really extraordinary."

In the hotel, Andy Lau put down the newspaper and sighed.

In Xiangjiang, there are only a dozen movies with a box office of over [-] million in a year.

This is only in Hong Kong dollars.

They are busy all year round for that Hong Kong dollar.

Comparing this with North America, Andy Lau has to lament the huge North American market.

"In Hollywood, only movies that make money are good movies, and actors who can bring profits to the producers are good actors. Don't think too much about this.

Here, as long as you fail once, it is very difficult for you to stand up.

On the contrary, this kind of thing is not easy to happen in Xiangjiang.

You count how many times you have failed, but every time you fail, you still have a chance to stand up.

If you are in Hollywood, this kind of opportunity is hard to find! "

He Jin struck.

Recently, with the popularity of "Fast and Furious", several actors have also risen accordingly.

All the actors, including He Jin, have felt the benefits of being successful in Hollywood.

Andy Lau, Liu Qingyun and others have successively received script invitations from some North American producers, inviting them to star in movies.

As far as He Jin is concerned, he has strict plans for himself and will not act in these little-known movies.

So I just watched it once, and I turned down these movie invitations.

However, Andy Lau and others are not like He Jin, He Jin is famous now and doesn't care about these small productions.

But for Andy Lau and others, this opportunity is very rare.

Therefore, they have each selected a suitable script and plan to make a splash in North America.
