Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator
Chapter 378 The mermaid is released, could it be that the film world is about to change?
Chapter 378 The mermaid is released, could it be that the film world is about to change?
In March, due to the emergence of VCD players and discs on Hong Kong Island, more than a dozen shoddy film and television companies were involved. In April, there were more than 3, and in May, there were more than 4...
How brilliant the Hong Kong film industry was in the past, how much money Debao, 100 Years Films, New World Films, Xu's Films, etc. made to make big box office, stimulated too many rich people, and other Rich people in the industry, tycoons, invest money to find a director and hire someone to make a movie.
Try going to theaters? ?
Regardless of whether the Xiang family brothers, Deng Haorong, Zhushe, or even Li copied their capital, they can only be regarded as examples, representatives, and there are many, many testers represented by them.
No one dares to use guns to force celebrities to make movies. There are still a lot of movies that are paid to cheat the audience with serious money.
Top filmmakers like Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, and Xu Guanwen, big stars, will not easily make bad movies, and there are many middle- and lower-tier practitioners who can't hold back.
It's not difficult for you to spend 200 million, 300 million to hire male stars like Ren Dahua and Miao Qiaowei, and spend hundreds of thousands to hire the second-generation thigh era to make a movie.
Most of the bad movies couldn't be sent to Wanjia, and the management of Wanjia theaters couldn't pass the review, but there were also Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Anle theaters, etc. that could be cheated.
For example, Ye Yuqing's Can't Help series, and those futons, were all screened in other theaters.
But starting from the VCD in the new era, it is really doomed that bad movies and fast movies will hit the street. The paper film critics of this era still have a certain influence. , comment on bad movies...
Call on fans not to be fooled!
After gaining a certain reputation, you can receive red envelopes to comment on other ordinary movies as good movies, and review ordinary good movies as super blockbusters, which can also boost the box office of the movie.
The main income-generating program for film critics is film criticism!
This is a professional team relying on this to eat and support their families.
Therefore, many second-tier movie stars Ren Dahua, Miao Qiaowei, Feng Suifan, etc., Wen Mixia, Chen Yalun, Shao Meiqi and TVB's second-generation thighs were invited to make bad movies that made money.
He was hit by a group of film critics... He took the initiative to clear mines for the fans.
Since the spring of 1992, all kinds of bad money have become more and more difficult to mix. They either improve and formally make good movies to survive, or quit the circle completely.
In the summer of 1992, starting on June 6.
The summer file has opened up a storm, and the first one to ignite is Debao's movie (New Fist of Fury 1992)!
Zhou Xingxing shouldered half of the directorship (Mermaid) followed closely behind, followed by Zhushe Laowu who had been busy for two years (Ci Ling). The three blockbuster films were released half a month apart, and they all entered Mainland theaters.
July 7th, ATV office.
As soon as Zhao Donghuai came back from the screening room, Li Jiaxin said with emotion, "Yes, wearing a tight black leather jacket and stepping on high heels, that Liu Xiaoli has big ambitions, it's really dazzling."
Just as we were talking, Jennifer Connelly, who left the scene earlier, came out of the big office. Her appearance was exactly the same as that of Li Ruolan in the mermaid movie on the big screen. She was nothing more than a beautiful white girl with long legs. With a charming smile, "Boss, do you think my appearance is not bad?"
Zhao Donghuai is speechless. The Mermaid hasn't been released yet. The official schedule is July 7, which will be starring Xiao Ma (New Fist of Fury).
This plane, starting from (Descendants of the Dragon), to (A Comic Exploring the World), and then to (New Fist of Fury 1992), is that the pony is getting better and better. nonsensical comedy.
You can't say that his acting is equal to A Xing, that's too unscientific, but he has already become second only to Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi, and Xiao Ma's sales are more handsome and refined than Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi, and he is easier to be attracted The audience accepts.
The world is full of malice. Ah Xing is not too handsome but has a baby face and is very friendly. He will be tolerated step by step if he plays cheap for no reason, but later imitators like Ge Minhui are unsightly. It really makes the audience physically uncomfortable.
Xiao Ma... I can only say that he is gentle and fair, and the affinity is stronger when he wears gold-rimmed glasses.
Xiao Ma filmed (Descendants of the Dragon) for four months last year. In the end, the box office on Hong Kong Island was more than 1300 million, the Mainland China was more than 9000 million RMB, and Ben Province, Xingmatai and South Korea earned more than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars. It is Xiao Ma's debut battle.
And (A Manga Going to the End of the World) was slightly better than Descendants of the Dragon.
Debao started filming this one year later (New Fist of Fury 1992)?Half a month after its release, the Hong Kong Island box office has reached more than 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, the mainland has 1.7 million yuan, and Star Mataiga has a box office of 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is tantamount to a great success.
When Xiao Ma took over (New Fist of Fury 1992), he was only paid 10 Hong Kong dollars. After all, it was an internal film contract, but starting from July, his income from bringing goods will not be too small. The once classic A Xing and Zhong Zhentao spat. , wearing sandals and white socks, suits and leather shoes to rob the classic image of the bank.
This is already a pony version of the screen contribution that can make people laugh.
Chen Baixiang from 100 Years Films also made a cameo appearance at the end of the film, obviously as an Easter egg for the next film.
Connery, who was wearing a mermaid Li Ruolan's black leather jacket, walked over, "Boss, I heard that (Little Ghost and Thief) has already been filmed for more than half? At this speed, wouldn't it be possible to take the summer vacation? A wave at the end??"
This is much bigger than Liu Xiaoli's performance on the big screen.
Director Zhao, "I told Fatty Wang to shoot slowly, don't be in such a hurry, I didn't expect him to shoot so fast, as long as another old Wang is one-tenth as efficient as him, it is enough to make the boss of the film group laugh. .”
It's been a year and a half. I think of a year and a half ago, Zhou Xingxing came to ask anxiously. He went to shoot another version (Ip Man). Is Wang Jiawei reliable? ?
One and a half years later, Sunglasses Old Wang is still visiting famous artists from all over the mainland, submitting bills to 100 Years Pictures every month to apply for funds!
But it doesn't matter, the original version (Climbing Girl) can achieve great success in Europa, and there will still be a certain market after the filming of this movie. The female lead of the white version is Eva Green.
Eva Green is in (Harry Potter 1), one of the female students of the School of Magic, but Jessica Alba who occupies the white version of the female Hermione, including the white version of the child star villain Miranda Kerr and more.
They all have no schedule to play (Little Ghost and Thief).
Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Deng Xiaochao have been on the set for three months. Guan Jiahui and Monica are both retiring from the industry for so many years, and they are fighting again.
"I don't care about Fatty Wang, I'll wait until I get off work. Your sisters Hui and Monica are both on the set, and they will send some delicious food for a walk."
What Zhao Donghuai didn't expect was that three hours later, he successfully walked out of the ATV headquarters building.
………………
In the third phase of Shek Kip Mei Huayuan, Wu Jing waited for a while at the gate, and when he saw Jin Chengwu coming out of the community, he immediately waved excitedly.
Unexpectedly, when A Wu was about to walk in front of him, he would speed up and quickly help him a few steps, then jumped up and kicked towards him. Wu Jing looked at the second idiot, flashed away... and looked at A Wu from his side. jump over.
When Jin Chengwu was about to hit the ground, he stretched out his legs and caught Awu, so that Awu, who was still able to land smoothly and smoothly, directly knelt on one knee and supported the ground with both hands to stabilize.
Wu Jing gloated even more, "Small sample, play this for me? You can't do it after two years of practice."
Jin Chengwu got up depressed, "As expected of being a national champion, I have practiced boxing for 18 months, and I have been practicing Bajiquan for 15 months."
Wu Jing's original happy smile turned into a sand sculpture style, and then he shrugged helplessly, "Director Wang is really too bad. Fortunately, our performance (Mermaid) will be released soon. Even if it is a supporting role, a good performance can make a lot of people laugh." People remember."
In the mermaid, Wu Jing plays Mr. Liao, the personal assistant of the rich man Liu Xuan, who is the "Drink your sister, take my sister over right away, drink Nima, take my mother over right away, get out, and take the lead and be mellow" supporting characters rolling off the floor".
On the set, Wu Jing was often scolded by Zhou Xingxing and yelled at by Master Xing, but he survived, and he has also seen the finished film, a very funny character.
Jin Chengwu is a police station who received Liu Xuan after he was kidnapped. He drew a gangster and a mermaid on paper, and his partner was Li Lichi.
Jin Chengwu raised his head to look at the sky, then moved his neck to look at Wu Jing, and sighed, "Let's go, it will be released tomorrow, and we can also get a wave of red envelopes. Even if they are supporting roles, the less red envelopes they get are also important in the film and television industry." Qualifications and experience."
Zhou Xingxing's movie can really make a group of people popular.
Although few people can steal Ah Xing's limelight in the movie, for many actors, it is luck that you can become popular after playing a supporting role.
At this stage, everyone is very confident about whether (Mermaid) can make money in Asia. What I want to see most is the summer release in Europe and America. Cameron Diaz plays Li Ruolan, a rich woman, and Naomi Watts is the mermaid.
Can it drive a big box office this time?
They worked hard from November last year until the end of June this year before the final film was released. It took more than half a year for a film, and the two waited for the film to be released to see if it could attract the attention of other filmmakers and get more opportunities.
Except for Ah Xing who looked at them poorly in November last year and gave them a hand, the two of them have no other projects to fight for at this stage.
Wu Jing also sighed in his heart, the national champions have won one after another from the junior group to the adult group, and his first screen image turned out to be as funny as Mr. Liao... It's too amazing.
At this time, Wu Jing also knew that it was not only him and A Wu who were cheated by Wang Jiawei, but also a girl named Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun was half a year younger than him, and was also compensated by Zhou Xingxing.
In the mermaid crew, Zhou Xun plays the Chinese version of the female assistant of the rich woman Li Ruolan, who is of the same nature as Mr. Liao played by Wu Jing.
It’s nothing more than Xing Ye is very funny on the big screen, and his character has that style of painting. Li Ruolan is beautiful and cool on the big screen, and Zhou Xun’s character is Mr. Lan’s style of painting.
At this moment, a young man came from not far away eating watermelon, "Hey, why don't you fight anymore? Continue to fight? Ah Wu, you have practiced boxing for so long, don't you feel bored if you don't fight a few times? ??"
Jin Chengwu rolled his eyes wildly, and stopped to talk to the melon-eating boy.
On the contrary, Wu Jing's eyes lit up, "Are you Huang Bo?"
Huang Bo has long hair, like a young literary youth, "Yes, I didn't expect someone to remember me after two years. I just got admitted to the Asian Opera this year. I'm a freshman in class 92. Since you also want to be an actor , have you considered entering the Asian drama??"
"If you don't learn acting, how can you get acting skills? I mainly focus on singing and vocal music, but there are also corresponding acting classes."
"The mentors said that I look a bit ordinary, but in the future I will grow fat, and there are still many opportunities to play supporting roles or green leaves."
When Huang Bo said this, he stared at Jin Chengwu and smiled like a broken mouth, "Awu, you can be regarded as one of the juniors on our Good Voice stage, although the way of becoming famous is a bit strange and too nonsensical."
"But we can still make persistent efforts and put on more martial arts performances. Maybe one day we will be spotted by the tycoons?"
In this summer’s summer vacation, the blockbuster is Zhou Xingxing’s (Mermaid), but in terms of TV, more than 40 episodes (Water Margin) have been completed and entered post-production, and the third season of the variety show (The Voice of Asia) has the most ratings Rate.
It is nothing more than that after experiencing the peak competition in the previous two seasons, there are not so many future strongmen in this year's contestants.
In the Chinese music scene in the same age group, almost all fierce people were wiped out by the previous two sessions.
Just when Huang Bo was chattering, Wu Jing came to his senses, "No, you will study Asian opera after the summer vacation? This is July 7th??"
Asian drama school usually starts at the end of August or early September.
Huang Bo gave him a strange look, "I rented a house in the third phase of Huayuan, and I'm already planning to start again, and try to stay more in Hong Kong karaoke bars. If I can practice singing more, it can be regarded as a work-study program."
"You are a Beijing movie, and you can still get together with our Huayuan third star Awu, new to the industry? Go, go, I will invite you to watch a movie. Jiahe recently appeared in a modern call girl. Listen to the name Just curious..."
Wu Jing, "..."
Jin Chengwu, "..."
Ah Wu glanced at Huang Bo again with distaste, and said to Wu Jing, "Come on, let's go to 100 Years Films and help out with errands, he is not serious at first glance."
Whether it's the modern recruiting of the original track or this version, they are all feature films that don't miss a single bit.
Chen Yalun, Li Meifeng, and Zhong Shuhui are the three beauties who perform passionately. In it, Zhong Shuhui is an Asian opera student who is not out of the circle. Chen Yalun is also a student of the Asian opera training class in 84, and a classmate of Li Ming and Zhou Haimei at the same time.
Li Meifeng also made her debut in the modern Diaochan program group in 84.
The movie is not a real romantic movie, but it is the name of the movie, which can easily give people a strong sense of misleading.
Ah Wu disliked Huang Bo from the very first sight, and it wasn't because he was really bored with this senior, but because Bo Zi was familiar with everyone and had a particularly cheerful personality, which made him uncomfortable.
In addition, the other party teased him many times about his strange way of becoming famous... Currently, too many residents of the third phase of Huayuan know Jin Chengwu, and they were fooled by Wang Jiawei to learn martial arts and self-taught acting skills for making movies.
This way is indeed too prominent and eye-catching!
When Wu Jing was happy and A Wu flashed away, leaving Huang Bo who was holding half a watermelon in a daze, did he hear correctly?Why did Ah Wu go to 100 Years Films to help?
Could it be that he got it in his mouth?To make fun of Ah Wu for not being able to turn on the phone for so long, is it going to happen?After the other party has endured for 18 months? (Grandmaster) Is it time to start the machine? ?
"No way, Director Sunglasses Wang's kind of big hole, I can't just say a few words to fill up the integrity and bring back the lost bottom line!"
………………
It was another new day, July 7th officially came. When Huang Bo was so excited, he ran to the theater early in the morning to wait for the movie. He watched Zhou Xingxing's version (Mermaid) and got mixed up after the opening of the movie.
At the beginning of the scene, a tourist group visited the museum, and the audience couldn't stop laughing. Wan Ziliang's cameo as the curator of the museum is too bottomless!
When Liu Xuan, the rich man played by Xingzi, made his official debut, he auctioned a piece of land in Qingluowan. In the fierce auction scene, Wu Jingyi, who was acting as Xingzi's assistant, appeared like a young boy in suits and leather shoes.
Huang Bo couldn't help but slapped his thigh with a bang, "Damn it, it's that little boy from yesterday..."
Wu Jing, that baby-faced, weak-looking guy, actually appeared in the movie of Master Xing?Or an important supporting role?I was stunned by Hiroko's big teeth.
Soon, he had no time to feel sorry for Wu Jing.
The plot officially started, and the dinner party after the filming was in front of a single-family villa surrounded by mountains and the sea, with a luxurious and top-notch parking lot in the yard.
A big red supercar rushed into the courtyard of the villa like Lola Fangna's drag racing and drifting in (Wanted 1). Liu Ruolan, the second generation rich woman played by Liu Xiaoli, got out of the car.
Then to the murderous costume showing the perfect figure, with the classic soundtrack (the world is always hello), the movie is full of high-end sense at once.
It feels like there is a forceful style coming out of the big screen.
When a group of black suits ran to open the way ahead of time for the rich fourth master played by Xu Ke, a classic car that looked very old-fashioned also made Xu Ke, who had deliberately dyed white hair, look like a rich man and a tycoon.
Then, the audience immersed in the atmosphere of a high-end wealthy family was directly dropped from the sky, dressed in leopard print, with gold-rimmed glasses, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a pesticide-sprayed version of a single-person flying machine on the back, blowing Di Long, who was dancing with his residual hair I can't live laughing.
As far as Di Long's image in this movie is really...spicy eyes.
The plot of the mermaid is still the same plot, mainly because the actors have changed, Zhou Xingxing himself appeared on the scene, plus the Chinese version of the heroine Chen Derong, and the supporting villain is Liu Xiaoli.
It can only be said that after watching a movie, Huang Bo laughed so many times that his stomach ached and he couldn't bear it. The reactions of more audiences were similar.
Even Xiao Ma's kind of talent, who has been completely letting go for a year, is nothing more than funny in this field, second only to Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi's sense of joy.
At this stage, Xiao Ma has not only starred in three comedies in a row, but has finished his junior year in Asian drama!
(Mermaid) hits hard, and the explosive power of the summer blockbuster is once again presented to everyone. Hong Kong Island’s three-day first weekend is more than 1700 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average daily income of more than 570 million, saving a three-day box office of 1890 million Hong Kong dollars .
It must be said that the announcement of this movie is also very strong. There should be posters, subway bus taxi body pictorials, TV program announcements, and even the trailer. They have been pushed more than ten days in advance.
Not just (Mermaid), including Xiao Ma's previous masterpiece (New Fist of Fury 1992), every real blockbuster movie released at this stage, such as the basic promotion of the big publicity release, is full.
Otherwise, even if a movie that is popular in Europe and the United States is starring white men and women, it is impossible to say that it will become lawless as soon as it is released.
The announcement is grand enough, so that as many people as possible can see and hear it, the first release will attract so much money!
For three days in the mainland, the first day was more than 8000 million, the second day was 1.1 million, and the third day was more than 9000 million. The total accumulated in three days was 2.8 million yuan!
Xingmatai received more than 5100 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, South Korea received more than 2900 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, and thousands of theaters in the island country sold more than 3200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not counting the 2.8 million RMB in the Mainland, it represents 1.47 million Hong Kong dollars accumulated in East Asia and Southeast Asia!There is a very interesting thing here, that is, the combination of stars, horses and Thailand, the box office appeal is a bit stronger than that of the island countries and South Korea alone.
At present, the total population of Xingmatai is less than half of the island country...but it is not surprising, because the entertainment industry in Thailand is more private on Hong Kong Island than in South Korea, and there are more than 700 million Chinese and overseas Chinese in Singapore, the richest family in Thailand. , Many of them are also overseas Chinese.
Especially in 1992, the social economy of the island country collapsed, and the purchasing power plummeted. However, a large population like Thailand was still in the period of rapid growth and prosperity of the four Asian tigers.
It is South Korea, whose total population is only one-third of that of the island country this year, but the box office difference between the two places is only 300 million Hong Kong dollars!
Europe and the United States are also booming. North America’s three-day first weekend was 1280 million US dollars, Europa’s 960 million US dollars, and the sum of the two places also broke 2240 million US dollars!
You said that Ogame is only 2240 million US dollars? ?
Compared with North America breaking $2000 million and $3000 million in the first weekend, and even comparing (Spiderman 1) with North America breaking $6000 million in the first weekend, the data is too shabby?
This is already the best box office record that Zhou Xingxing can achieve in a movie that only has a star-style comedy, no effort or too many special effects.
It can only be said that his nonsensical films have been continuously screened in Europe and the United States, slowly gaining fans, and Jim Carrey's explosion, one (Invincible Lucky Star) and one (Ghost in Disguise) made more European and American whites also like it With this kind of performance, it led to the great expansion of Ah Xing.
It cannot be said that Zhou Xingxing and Jim Carrey have the same acting style, each has its own characteristics, and each has its own core competitiveness, but after a quick look, it is true that they both rose through exaggerated expressions...
………………
On July 7, Sammo Hung arrived at the filming location of the (Harry Potter 14) crew early in the morning, which was Tung Chung.
Tung Chung Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
The preparations for the special effects model, etc. that started three years ago naturally also included the construction of the School of Magic. This place is a bit far from the Jurassic Theme Park in Tung Chung, and you have to take a car to go deeper into Lantau Island to get there.
With blockbuster films sweeping the world, there are more and more tourist attractions.
At this stage, the building complex of the School of Magic is definitely not open to the public, and only after Harry Potter 1 is released will the tourism and entertainment projects be officially opened.
After getting out of the car, I saw a few figures ushering in from the left and right, and they belonged to the main creators of the team. For example, Richard Norton, who played the role of one of the vice-principals, Severus Snape, was very familiar with Sanmao. A deputy headmaster, Minerva McGonagall, is played in a double version by Lin Ching-xia and Julia Roberts.
Sanmao couldn't help but sigh, "Fight the street, the first weekend is only three days, not counting the mainland, even at this stage Wanjia theaters have entered the island country, the first weekend is 1.47 million Hong Kong dollars, really..."
He is a film tycoon who felt that he was about to be eliminated by the tide of the times when he started the team (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), and once again experienced the ferocity of blockbuster movies, he still felt a sense of long-awaited feeling.
The data of East Asia and Southeast Asia in the first three days of the weekend is enough to shock countless people!
Lin Qingxia also expressed emotion, but she didn't talk about the box office, but asked curiously, "Brother Sanmao, I heard that Zhao Sheng's Pacific VCD players and discs haven't reached Europe or the United States?"
The Pacific VCD players and discs have indeed captured cities in East and Southeast Asia and created massive wealth, but Europe and the United States...
San Mao complained speechlessly, "It was boycotted. These are too high-quality and cheap. Maybe Hollywood theater operators and several major film and television groups will put too much extra effort on anti-piracy, so they were boycotted."
"It's still easy for us here. In the past six months, one or several pirate gangs have popped up from time to time, and then they were quickly hammered to death."
"Let me tell you, looking at the performance of Ah Xing (Mermaid), as long as the movie is of high quality and attractive enough, the impact of the VCD machine on the box office is not that exaggerated."
This is true. In the original track, Hong Kong movies were impacted by VCD players and discs, including the loss of ticket warehouses in other places, and the loss of many patrons...
When a series of comprehensive factors hammered countless people in the Hong Kong Island film industry out of work and had no food to eat, Zhou Xingxing's films still set box office records at every turn.
Lin Qingxia smiled wryly, "Those of us who have earned more money than we can spend in our lifetime can be regarded as going ashore early, but those younger generations are getting more and more introverted."
In the original trajectory, even in the era of the Internet, there will be many Hong Kong films that cannot be found. They can only be stored in VCD discs or DVD discs. I don’t know which collectors are hoarding them.
In the current situation, there will only be more.
........................
On July 7, Zhou Xingxing's (Mermaid) continued to be popular worldwide, and Wu Yusen led Zhang Jiazhen, Liang Chaowei, Li Zixiong and others to toast happily, "Mr. Kai, congratulations to Mr. Kai's ( Mausoleum) will be released worldwide soon."
"Our crew also wished Kai Shao a big hit at the box office in advance, and made a lot of money."
"Although the impact of VCD players and discs is a bit big, whether it is the movie of the new pony or Zhou Xingxing's (Mermaid), it is enough to prove that we have no shortage of opportunities to make money for blockbuster movies. "
Under the words, a group of people congratulated the Li family Akai.
Akai, the expression is a bit complicated, (Tailing) ah, their Li family invested more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars during the filming period, and became 50% of the investors. Later, Europe, America, East Asia and Southeast Asia were announced, and they raised another 7500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Rushing the street, if you can't make a lot of money, it's really a blood loss.
Fortunately, it should be possible, right?Ciling's publicity and distribution team has already broken through, and has also obtained the screening arrangements in Wanjia theaters and the mainland, as well as Xingmatai and Daohan.
The painting will start on July 7, two weeks after the release of (Mermaid), a masterpiece of summer!
If you're a bad movie, you won't get a good schedule.
Suppressing all kinds of complicated thoughts, Akai also smiled and clinked glasses with Wu Yusen, "Old Wu, your (Blood on the Street) has also been produced. As for the theaters, you have to hurry up."
"Now overall, the number of theaters is overflowing. If the summer schedule is well grasped, even if it accounts for 30% of the film schedule, the prospect is still promising."
"There are tens of thousands of houses in the (thorn mausoleum), and I didn't do anything. They are all run by the old Wu of the Zhushe, and the European and American publicity is also packaged there. In this regard?"
Wu Yusen nodded enthusiastically, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, Ah Zhen, Ah Wei and I must run around more. Even if I can't talk to the theater, I have a good relationship with Xueyou during the few months of filming. , more about the relationship between Xueyou, one of the four little heavenly kings of the Asian music scene."
"There should be hope for the Lunar New Year file."
Even if (Assassin’s Mausoleum) is released two weeks later, it will only be on August 8th, which is still the most powerful post-sequence for the summer file, the golden file.
Akai nodded in relief, "It's good that you know, let's not talk about when (Spiderman 2) (Wanted 3) (Jurassic Park 3) will be completed, Zhao Sheng hand-picked (Harry Potter), and Tiya A kid series that plays a few girl stars..."
"Zhao Sheng himself has promoted so much, and there are too many blockbuster movies by other giants."
"Try, we must try our best to make a lot of money during the summer vacation."
Their family invested in the film and television industry, and under the leadership of Ah Ju, they lost 7500-1000 million yuan or had dystocia. After Akai took over, the real investment he made was the [-] million Hong Kong dollar announcement of (Cai Ling), and [-] million buyout Wu Yusen's contract.
And initially it was 5000 million Hong Kong dollars for auction (Blood on the Street), and later it was raised to 8000 million Hong Kong dollars before the production was completed.
He nodded to confirm that the money spent was 1.65 million Hong Kong dollars, and now one hand (stabbing the mausoleum) and the other (bloody street), if there is an outbreak together, he will be proud, and even have a chance to snatch the crown prince.
Old Wu Ning nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Kai, I will definitely work hard!"
………………
A few days later, as the release date of (Assassin's Tomb) was getting closer, Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen found Akai, both of them had complicated expressions.
Complicated is complicated, Old Wu said quickly, "Young Master Kai, there is good news and bad news."
Akai frowned, "Say it straight, don't go around the bush."
Wu Yusen explained, "It has been operated a lot. Relying on the quality of the movie, we (Blood Street) will be able to reach tens of thousands of theaters on August 8, including mainland ticket warehouses."
Akai was ecstatic, "Good job, well done, there will be many rewards!"
Wu Yusen, "..."
It was Zhang Jiazhen who coughed lightly, "On July 7, 24% of the film schedule (Thorn Hill) will be released, and it will be released together with the first episode of Armageddon 25, which will be released with 45% of the film schedule, and the remaining 2% of (Mermaid) will be released."
"On August 8th, we (Blood on the Street) will have 8% of the film schedule, and the second episode of Armageddon 15 will be 2% of the film schedule. However, Wanjia Cinemas also said that they respect the market."
"Armageddon 2 can start with such a lineup, which is completely supported by the highest box office record of 13.8 billion in the mainland for the first film! The first film in Hong Kong Haowan has a box office of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars."
"After the release, if the second film does not perform so strongly, we will adjust the film schedule according to market fluctuations."
Akai was stunned, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Damn it, how did this happen? Delay, are you crazy to hedge against this kind of blockbuster??"
Zhang Jiazhen smiled wryly, "The summer vacation is over, and Wang Jing's (Little Ghost and Thief) is about to be released. I heard that Li Lianjie's (Jing Wu Heroes), his movie and Xiao Ma's (New Fist of Fury 1992) , is not a style at all.”
"Following that there is Lin Zhengying (One Eyebrow Taoist), and the final episode of the Great Battle in Pingjin is about to be finished? Wait???"
Akai was dumbfounded, what kind of devil schedule is this? ?
Wu Yusen opened his mouth to comfort, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, after all, it is still a matter of fighting for the quality of the movie. This kind of thing is very common. Back then, Bruce Willis's second movie (Die Hard) had all the action quality online, that is It has a good reputation now.”
"But it was attacked by (Kung Fu Panda) and (Jurassic Park 1) successively, and the box office hit the street. Bruce Willis is Zhao's cash cow. When encountering such a devil's schedule, no one can do anything."
"If you withdraw the file now, the (Jurassic) (Spiderman) and (Wanted Warrant) around the Lunar New Year file will drown a lot of people. I also heard that Wang Jing plans to shoot (God of Gamblers 2), he But super fast shooter."
"Besides, if the double version of the heroine (Little Ghost Thief) starring Azhi and Eva Green is a big hit, the sequel can be launched immediately. There is no holiday limit for the (Home Alone) Christmas file. Can finish a sequel."
"Zhou Xingxing, Liu Dehua, Brother Ah Rong and the others, if a new film is produced at this stage, then there will be a Police Story 10 that has been planned and prepared for 5 months..."
"Young Master Kai, there's nothing to hide from!"
"As long as our quality is guaranteed, we will not lose."
Keep avoiding, let alone this year, Zhang Jiazhen smiled wryly, "Unless Young Master Kai hides until 1994, and you can ensure that by that time, there will be no more blockbuster series to dominate the box office."
The situation is like this, even in October last year when Hong Jinbao wanted to call Cheng Long Pai (Flying Dragon Warrior), Aaron said that he was considering doing (Police Story 10), and it has been 5 months now, and I heard that (Police Story 10) is just In the process of production, it is difficult to say which step has been reached.
However, there have been many blockbuster movies that have exploded in this year.
Let’s just say that after Armageddon 1 made brilliant achievements, Armageddon 2 and Armageddon 3 were split into four movies for release, which are also four blockbuster movies!
Wanjia Theaters is really not cheating people. I really want to make things difficult for you and just stop showing it for you. In East Asia and Southeast Asia, what kind of trouble can a mere Akai and Lao Wu make?
Akai was gradually persuaded to accept the reality, and said helplessly, "This is too ridiculous! Isn't Lin Zhengying filming Wanted Warrant 3? Why did you save another one (One Eyebrow Taoist)? It's too much Alright."
Wu Yusen coughed lightly in embarrassment, and explained euphemistically, "Actually, Uncle Ying's one-eyed Taoist was finished after the release of Wanted 2 and before the third film started."
"He just didn't start in the next month, facing the impact of the first wave of VCD players and discs, so he was delayed, otherwise he wouldn't be ranked behind the summer schedule. Strictly speaking, the pony (New Fist of Fury) 1992) also belongs to Qu Lei.”
Akai was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood again. The next moment, he clapped his hands again, "Wait, we still have Mumbai. Last September, my old man opened the first batch of comprehensive shopping malls in Mumbai, and the first line of ten cinemas. , it’s more than half covered.”
"In November, he will go to Mumbai with Liu's funds. If there are 11 more theaters there, each with eight halls, there will be a lot to do!"
Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen looked at each other in dismay, shocked, what the hell...is there such a big event? !
Could it be that the Asian film world is about to change?
(End of this chapter)
In March, due to the emergence of VCD players and discs on Hong Kong Island, more than a dozen shoddy film and television companies were involved. In April, there were more than 3, and in May, there were more than 4...
How brilliant the Hong Kong film industry was in the past, how much money Debao, 100 Years Films, New World Films, Xu's Films, etc. made to make big box office, stimulated too many rich people, and other Rich people in the industry, tycoons, invest money to find a director and hire someone to make a movie.
Try going to theaters? ?
Regardless of whether the Xiang family brothers, Deng Haorong, Zhushe, or even Li copied their capital, they can only be regarded as examples, representatives, and there are many, many testers represented by them.
No one dares to use guns to force celebrities to make movies. There are still a lot of movies that are paid to cheat the audience with serious money.
Top filmmakers like Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, and Xu Guanwen, big stars, will not easily make bad movies, and there are many middle- and lower-tier practitioners who can't hold back.
It's not difficult for you to spend 200 million, 300 million to hire male stars like Ren Dahua and Miao Qiaowei, and spend hundreds of thousands to hire the second-generation thigh era to make a movie.
Most of the bad movies couldn't be sent to Wanjia, and the management of Wanjia theaters couldn't pass the review, but there were also Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Anle theaters, etc. that could be cheated.
For example, Ye Yuqing's Can't Help series, and those futons, were all screened in other theaters.
But starting from the VCD in the new era, it is really doomed that bad movies and fast movies will hit the street. The paper film critics of this era still have a certain influence. , comment on bad movies...
Call on fans not to be fooled!
After gaining a certain reputation, you can receive red envelopes to comment on other ordinary movies as good movies, and review ordinary good movies as super blockbusters, which can also boost the box office of the movie.
The main income-generating program for film critics is film criticism!
This is a professional team relying on this to eat and support their families.
Therefore, many second-tier movie stars Ren Dahua, Miao Qiaowei, Feng Suifan, etc., Wen Mixia, Chen Yalun, Shao Meiqi and TVB's second-generation thighs were invited to make bad movies that made money.
He was hit by a group of film critics... He took the initiative to clear mines for the fans.
Since the spring of 1992, all kinds of bad money have become more and more difficult to mix. They either improve and formally make good movies to survive, or quit the circle completely.
In the summer of 1992, starting on June 6.
The summer file has opened up a storm, and the first one to ignite is Debao's movie (New Fist of Fury 1992)!
Zhou Xingxing shouldered half of the directorship (Mermaid) followed closely behind, followed by Zhushe Laowu who had been busy for two years (Ci Ling). The three blockbuster films were released half a month apart, and they all entered Mainland theaters.
July 7th, ATV office.
As soon as Zhao Donghuai came back from the screening room, Li Jiaxin said with emotion, "Yes, wearing a tight black leather jacket and stepping on high heels, that Liu Xiaoli has big ambitions, it's really dazzling."
Just as we were talking, Jennifer Connelly, who left the scene earlier, came out of the big office. Her appearance was exactly the same as that of Li Ruolan in the mermaid movie on the big screen. She was nothing more than a beautiful white girl with long legs. With a charming smile, "Boss, do you think my appearance is not bad?"
Zhao Donghuai is speechless. The Mermaid hasn't been released yet. The official schedule is July 7, which will be starring Xiao Ma (New Fist of Fury).
This plane, starting from (Descendants of the Dragon), to (A Comic Exploring the World), and then to (New Fist of Fury 1992), is that the pony is getting better and better. nonsensical comedy.
You can't say that his acting is equal to A Xing, that's too unscientific, but he has already become second only to Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi, and Xiao Ma's sales are more handsome and refined than Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi, and he is easier to be attracted The audience accepts.
The world is full of malice. Ah Xing is not too handsome but has a baby face and is very friendly. He will be tolerated step by step if he plays cheap for no reason, but later imitators like Ge Minhui are unsightly. It really makes the audience physically uncomfortable.
Xiao Ma... I can only say that he is gentle and fair, and the affinity is stronger when he wears gold-rimmed glasses.
Xiao Ma filmed (Descendants of the Dragon) for four months last year. In the end, the box office on Hong Kong Island was more than 1300 million, the Mainland China was more than 9000 million RMB, and Ben Province, Xingmatai and South Korea earned more than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars. It is Xiao Ma's debut battle.
And (A Manga Going to the End of the World) was slightly better than Descendants of the Dragon.
Debao started filming this one year later (New Fist of Fury 1992)?Half a month after its release, the Hong Kong Island box office has reached more than 1600 million Hong Kong dollars, the mainland has 1.7 million yuan, and Star Mataiga has a box office of 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is tantamount to a great success.
When Xiao Ma took over (New Fist of Fury 1992), he was only paid 10 Hong Kong dollars. After all, it was an internal film contract, but starting from July, his income from bringing goods will not be too small. The once classic A Xing and Zhong Zhentao spat. , wearing sandals and white socks, suits and leather shoes to rob the classic image of the bank.
This is already a pony version of the screen contribution that can make people laugh.
Chen Baixiang from 100 Years Films also made a cameo appearance at the end of the film, obviously as an Easter egg for the next film.
Connery, who was wearing a mermaid Li Ruolan's black leather jacket, walked over, "Boss, I heard that (Little Ghost and Thief) has already been filmed for more than half? At this speed, wouldn't it be possible to take the summer vacation? A wave at the end??"
This is much bigger than Liu Xiaoli's performance on the big screen.
Director Zhao, "I told Fatty Wang to shoot slowly, don't be in such a hurry, I didn't expect him to shoot so fast, as long as another old Wang is one-tenth as efficient as him, it is enough to make the boss of the film group laugh. .”
It's been a year and a half. I think of a year and a half ago, Zhou Xingxing came to ask anxiously. He went to shoot another version (Ip Man). Is Wang Jiawei reliable? ?
One and a half years later, Sunglasses Old Wang is still visiting famous artists from all over the mainland, submitting bills to 100 Years Pictures every month to apply for funds!
But it doesn't matter, the original version (Climbing Girl) can achieve great success in Europa, and there will still be a certain market after the filming of this movie. The female lead of the white version is Eva Green.
Eva Green is in (Harry Potter 1), one of the female students of the School of Magic, but Jessica Alba who occupies the white version of the female Hermione, including the white version of the child star villain Miranda Kerr and more.
They all have no schedule to play (Little Ghost and Thief).
Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Deng Xiaochao have been on the set for three months. Guan Jiahui and Monica are both retiring from the industry for so many years, and they are fighting again.
"I don't care about Fatty Wang, I'll wait until I get off work. Your sisters Hui and Monica are both on the set, and they will send some delicious food for a walk."
What Zhao Donghuai didn't expect was that three hours later, he successfully walked out of the ATV headquarters building.
………………
In the third phase of Shek Kip Mei Huayuan, Wu Jing waited for a while at the gate, and when he saw Jin Chengwu coming out of the community, he immediately waved excitedly.
Unexpectedly, when A Wu was about to walk in front of him, he would speed up and quickly help him a few steps, then jumped up and kicked towards him. Wu Jing looked at the second idiot, flashed away... and looked at A Wu from his side. jump over.
When Jin Chengwu was about to hit the ground, he stretched out his legs and caught Awu, so that Awu, who was still able to land smoothly and smoothly, directly knelt on one knee and supported the ground with both hands to stabilize.
Wu Jing gloated even more, "Small sample, play this for me? You can't do it after two years of practice."
Jin Chengwu got up depressed, "As expected of being a national champion, I have practiced boxing for 18 months, and I have been practicing Bajiquan for 15 months."
Wu Jing's original happy smile turned into a sand sculpture style, and then he shrugged helplessly, "Director Wang is really too bad. Fortunately, our performance (Mermaid) will be released soon. Even if it is a supporting role, a good performance can make a lot of people laugh." People remember."
In the mermaid, Wu Jing plays Mr. Liao, the personal assistant of the rich man Liu Xuan, who is the "Drink your sister, take my sister over right away, drink Nima, take my mother over right away, get out, and take the lead and be mellow" supporting characters rolling off the floor".
On the set, Wu Jing was often scolded by Zhou Xingxing and yelled at by Master Xing, but he survived, and he has also seen the finished film, a very funny character.
Jin Chengwu is a police station who received Liu Xuan after he was kidnapped. He drew a gangster and a mermaid on paper, and his partner was Li Lichi.
Jin Chengwu raised his head to look at the sky, then moved his neck to look at Wu Jing, and sighed, "Let's go, it will be released tomorrow, and we can also get a wave of red envelopes. Even if they are supporting roles, the less red envelopes they get are also important in the film and television industry." Qualifications and experience."
Zhou Xingxing's movie can really make a group of people popular.
Although few people can steal Ah Xing's limelight in the movie, for many actors, it is luck that you can become popular after playing a supporting role.
At this stage, everyone is very confident about whether (Mermaid) can make money in Asia. What I want to see most is the summer release in Europe and America. Cameron Diaz plays Li Ruolan, a rich woman, and Naomi Watts is the mermaid.
Can it drive a big box office this time?
They worked hard from November last year until the end of June this year before the final film was released. It took more than half a year for a film, and the two waited for the film to be released to see if it could attract the attention of other filmmakers and get more opportunities.
Except for Ah Xing who looked at them poorly in November last year and gave them a hand, the two of them have no other projects to fight for at this stage.
Wu Jing also sighed in his heart, the national champions have won one after another from the junior group to the adult group, and his first screen image turned out to be as funny as Mr. Liao... It's too amazing.
At this time, Wu Jing also knew that it was not only him and A Wu who were cheated by Wang Jiawei, but also a girl named Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun was half a year younger than him, and was also compensated by Zhou Xingxing.
In the mermaid crew, Zhou Xun plays the Chinese version of the female assistant of the rich woman Li Ruolan, who is of the same nature as Mr. Liao played by Wu Jing.
It’s nothing more than Xing Ye is very funny on the big screen, and his character has that style of painting. Li Ruolan is beautiful and cool on the big screen, and Zhou Xun’s character is Mr. Lan’s style of painting.
At this moment, a young man came from not far away eating watermelon, "Hey, why don't you fight anymore? Continue to fight? Ah Wu, you have practiced boxing for so long, don't you feel bored if you don't fight a few times? ??"
Jin Chengwu rolled his eyes wildly, and stopped to talk to the melon-eating boy.
On the contrary, Wu Jing's eyes lit up, "Are you Huang Bo?"
Huang Bo has long hair, like a young literary youth, "Yes, I didn't expect someone to remember me after two years. I just got admitted to the Asian Opera this year. I'm a freshman in class 92. Since you also want to be an actor , have you considered entering the Asian drama??"
"If you don't learn acting, how can you get acting skills? I mainly focus on singing and vocal music, but there are also corresponding acting classes."
"The mentors said that I look a bit ordinary, but in the future I will grow fat, and there are still many opportunities to play supporting roles or green leaves."
When Huang Bo said this, he stared at Jin Chengwu and smiled like a broken mouth, "Awu, you can be regarded as one of the juniors on our Good Voice stage, although the way of becoming famous is a bit strange and too nonsensical."
"But we can still make persistent efforts and put on more martial arts performances. Maybe one day we will be spotted by the tycoons?"
In this summer’s summer vacation, the blockbuster is Zhou Xingxing’s (Mermaid), but in terms of TV, more than 40 episodes (Water Margin) have been completed and entered post-production, and the third season of the variety show (The Voice of Asia) has the most ratings Rate.
It is nothing more than that after experiencing the peak competition in the previous two seasons, there are not so many future strongmen in this year's contestants.
In the Chinese music scene in the same age group, almost all fierce people were wiped out by the previous two sessions.
Just when Huang Bo was chattering, Wu Jing came to his senses, "No, you will study Asian opera after the summer vacation? This is July 7th??"
Asian drama school usually starts at the end of August or early September.
Huang Bo gave him a strange look, "I rented a house in the third phase of Huayuan, and I'm already planning to start again, and try to stay more in Hong Kong karaoke bars. If I can practice singing more, it can be regarded as a work-study program."
"You are a Beijing movie, and you can still get together with our Huayuan third star Awu, new to the industry? Go, go, I will invite you to watch a movie. Jiahe recently appeared in a modern call girl. Listen to the name Just curious..."
Wu Jing, "..."
Jin Chengwu, "..."
Ah Wu glanced at Huang Bo again with distaste, and said to Wu Jing, "Come on, let's go to 100 Years Films and help out with errands, he is not serious at first glance."
Whether it's the modern recruiting of the original track or this version, they are all feature films that don't miss a single bit.
Chen Yalun, Li Meifeng, and Zhong Shuhui are the three beauties who perform passionately. In it, Zhong Shuhui is an Asian opera student who is not out of the circle. Chen Yalun is also a student of the Asian opera training class in 84, and a classmate of Li Ming and Zhou Haimei at the same time.
Li Meifeng also made her debut in the modern Diaochan program group in 84.
The movie is not a real romantic movie, but it is the name of the movie, which can easily give people a strong sense of misleading.
Ah Wu disliked Huang Bo from the very first sight, and it wasn't because he was really bored with this senior, but because Bo Zi was familiar with everyone and had a particularly cheerful personality, which made him uncomfortable.
In addition, the other party teased him many times about his strange way of becoming famous... Currently, too many residents of the third phase of Huayuan know Jin Chengwu, and they were fooled by Wang Jiawei to learn martial arts and self-taught acting skills for making movies.
This way is indeed too prominent and eye-catching!
When Wu Jing was happy and A Wu flashed away, leaving Huang Bo who was holding half a watermelon in a daze, did he hear correctly?Why did Ah Wu go to 100 Years Films to help?
Could it be that he got it in his mouth?To make fun of Ah Wu for not being able to turn on the phone for so long, is it going to happen?After the other party has endured for 18 months? (Grandmaster) Is it time to start the machine? ?
"No way, Director Sunglasses Wang's kind of big hole, I can't just say a few words to fill up the integrity and bring back the lost bottom line!"
………………
It was another new day, July 7th officially came. When Huang Bo was so excited, he ran to the theater early in the morning to wait for the movie. He watched Zhou Xingxing's version (Mermaid) and got mixed up after the opening of the movie.
At the beginning of the scene, a tourist group visited the museum, and the audience couldn't stop laughing. Wan Ziliang's cameo as the curator of the museum is too bottomless!
When Liu Xuan, the rich man played by Xingzi, made his official debut, he auctioned a piece of land in Qingluowan. In the fierce auction scene, Wu Jingyi, who was acting as Xingzi's assistant, appeared like a young boy in suits and leather shoes.
Huang Bo couldn't help but slapped his thigh with a bang, "Damn it, it's that little boy from yesterday..."
Wu Jing, that baby-faced, weak-looking guy, actually appeared in the movie of Master Xing?Or an important supporting role?I was stunned by Hiroko's big teeth.
Soon, he had no time to feel sorry for Wu Jing.
The plot officially started, and the dinner party after the filming was in front of a single-family villa surrounded by mountains and the sea, with a luxurious and top-notch parking lot in the yard.
A big red supercar rushed into the courtyard of the villa like Lola Fangna's drag racing and drifting in (Wanted 1). Liu Ruolan, the second generation rich woman played by Liu Xiaoli, got out of the car.
Then to the murderous costume showing the perfect figure, with the classic soundtrack (the world is always hello), the movie is full of high-end sense at once.
It feels like there is a forceful style coming out of the big screen.
When a group of black suits ran to open the way ahead of time for the rich fourth master played by Xu Ke, a classic car that looked very old-fashioned also made Xu Ke, who had deliberately dyed white hair, look like a rich man and a tycoon.
Then, the audience immersed in the atmosphere of a high-end wealthy family was directly dropped from the sky, dressed in leopard print, with gold-rimmed glasses, with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a pesticide-sprayed version of a single-person flying machine on the back, blowing Di Long, who was dancing with his residual hair I can't live laughing.
As far as Di Long's image in this movie is really...spicy eyes.
The plot of the mermaid is still the same plot, mainly because the actors have changed, Zhou Xingxing himself appeared on the scene, plus the Chinese version of the heroine Chen Derong, and the supporting villain is Liu Xiaoli.
It can only be said that after watching a movie, Huang Bo laughed so many times that his stomach ached and he couldn't bear it. The reactions of more audiences were similar.
Even Xiao Ma's kind of talent, who has been completely letting go for a year, is nothing more than funny in this field, second only to Chen Baixiang and Li Lichi's sense of joy.
At this stage, Xiao Ma has not only starred in three comedies in a row, but has finished his junior year in Asian drama!
(Mermaid) hits hard, and the explosive power of the summer blockbuster is once again presented to everyone. Hong Kong Island’s three-day first weekend is more than 1700 million Hong Kong dollars, with an average daily income of more than 570 million, saving a three-day box office of 1890 million Hong Kong dollars .
It must be said that the announcement of this movie is also very strong. There should be posters, subway bus taxi body pictorials, TV program announcements, and even the trailer. They have been pushed more than ten days in advance.
Not just (Mermaid), including Xiao Ma's previous masterpiece (New Fist of Fury 1992), every real blockbuster movie released at this stage, such as the basic promotion of the big publicity release, is full.
Otherwise, even if a movie that is popular in Europe and the United States is starring white men and women, it is impossible to say that it will become lawless as soon as it is released.
The announcement is grand enough, so that as many people as possible can see and hear it, the first release will attract so much money!
For three days in the mainland, the first day was more than 8000 million, the second day was 1.1 million, and the third day was more than 9000 million. The total accumulated in three days was 2.8 million yuan!
Xingmatai received more than 5100 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, South Korea received more than 2900 million Hong Kong dollars in three days, and thousands of theaters in the island country sold more than 3200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not counting the 2.8 million RMB in the Mainland, it represents 1.47 million Hong Kong dollars accumulated in East Asia and Southeast Asia!There is a very interesting thing here, that is, the combination of stars, horses and Thailand, the box office appeal is a bit stronger than that of the island countries and South Korea alone.
At present, the total population of Xingmatai is less than half of the island country...but it is not surprising, because the entertainment industry in Thailand is more private on Hong Kong Island than in South Korea, and there are more than 700 million Chinese and overseas Chinese in Singapore, the richest family in Thailand. , Many of them are also overseas Chinese.
Especially in 1992, the social economy of the island country collapsed, and the purchasing power plummeted. However, a large population like Thailand was still in the period of rapid growth and prosperity of the four Asian tigers.
It is South Korea, whose total population is only one-third of that of the island country this year, but the box office difference between the two places is only 300 million Hong Kong dollars!
Europe and the United States are also booming. North America’s three-day first weekend was 1280 million US dollars, Europa’s 960 million US dollars, and the sum of the two places also broke 2240 million US dollars!
You said that Ogame is only 2240 million US dollars? ?
Compared with North America breaking $2000 million and $3000 million in the first weekend, and even comparing (Spiderman 1) with North America breaking $6000 million in the first weekend, the data is too shabby?
This is already the best box office record that Zhou Xingxing can achieve in a movie that only has a star-style comedy, no effort or too many special effects.
It can only be said that his nonsensical films have been continuously screened in Europe and the United States, slowly gaining fans, and Jim Carrey's explosion, one (Invincible Lucky Star) and one (Ghost in Disguise) made more European and American whites also like it With this kind of performance, it led to the great expansion of Ah Xing.
It cannot be said that Zhou Xingxing and Jim Carrey have the same acting style, each has its own characteristics, and each has its own core competitiveness, but after a quick look, it is true that they both rose through exaggerated expressions...
………………
On July 7, Sammo Hung arrived at the filming location of the (Harry Potter 14) crew early in the morning, which was Tung Chung.
Tung Chung Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
The preparations for the special effects model, etc. that started three years ago naturally also included the construction of the School of Magic. This place is a bit far from the Jurassic Theme Park in Tung Chung, and you have to take a car to go deeper into Lantau Island to get there.
With blockbuster films sweeping the world, there are more and more tourist attractions.
At this stage, the building complex of the School of Magic is definitely not open to the public, and only after Harry Potter 1 is released will the tourism and entertainment projects be officially opened.
After getting out of the car, I saw a few figures ushering in from the left and right, and they belonged to the main creators of the team. For example, Richard Norton, who played the role of one of the vice-principals, Severus Snape, was very familiar with Sanmao. A deputy headmaster, Minerva McGonagall, is played in a double version by Lin Ching-xia and Julia Roberts.
Sanmao couldn't help but sigh, "Fight the street, the first weekend is only three days, not counting the mainland, even at this stage Wanjia theaters have entered the island country, the first weekend is 1.47 million Hong Kong dollars, really..."
He is a film tycoon who felt that he was about to be eliminated by the tide of the times when he started the team (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone), and once again experienced the ferocity of blockbuster movies, he still felt a sense of long-awaited feeling.
The data of East Asia and Southeast Asia in the first three days of the weekend is enough to shock countless people!
Lin Qingxia also expressed emotion, but she didn't talk about the box office, but asked curiously, "Brother Sanmao, I heard that Zhao Sheng's Pacific VCD players and discs haven't reached Europe or the United States?"
The Pacific VCD players and discs have indeed captured cities in East and Southeast Asia and created massive wealth, but Europe and the United States...
San Mao complained speechlessly, "It was boycotted. These are too high-quality and cheap. Maybe Hollywood theater operators and several major film and television groups will put too much extra effort on anti-piracy, so they were boycotted."
"It's still easy for us here. In the past six months, one or several pirate gangs have popped up from time to time, and then they were quickly hammered to death."
"Let me tell you, looking at the performance of Ah Xing (Mermaid), as long as the movie is of high quality and attractive enough, the impact of the VCD machine on the box office is not that exaggerated."
This is true. In the original track, Hong Kong movies were impacted by VCD players and discs, including the loss of ticket warehouses in other places, and the loss of many patrons...
When a series of comprehensive factors hammered countless people in the Hong Kong Island film industry out of work and had no food to eat, Zhou Xingxing's films still set box office records at every turn.
Lin Qingxia smiled wryly, "Those of us who have earned more money than we can spend in our lifetime can be regarded as going ashore early, but those younger generations are getting more and more introverted."
In the original trajectory, even in the era of the Internet, there will be many Hong Kong films that cannot be found. They can only be stored in VCD discs or DVD discs. I don’t know which collectors are hoarding them.
In the current situation, there will only be more.
........................
On July 7, Zhou Xingxing's (Mermaid) continued to be popular worldwide, and Wu Yusen led Zhang Jiazhen, Liang Chaowei, Li Zixiong and others to toast happily, "Mr. Kai, congratulations to Mr. Kai's ( Mausoleum) will be released worldwide soon."
"Our crew also wished Kai Shao a big hit at the box office in advance, and made a lot of money."
"Although the impact of VCD players and discs is a bit big, whether it is the movie of the new pony or Zhou Xingxing's (Mermaid), it is enough to prove that we have no shortage of opportunities to make money for blockbuster movies. "
Under the words, a group of people congratulated the Li family Akai.
Akai, the expression is a bit complicated, (Tailing) ah, their Li family invested more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars during the filming period, and became 50% of the investors. Later, Europe, America, East Asia and Southeast Asia were announced, and they raised another 7500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Rushing the street, if you can't make a lot of money, it's really a blood loss.
Fortunately, it should be possible, right?Ciling's publicity and distribution team has already broken through, and has also obtained the screening arrangements in Wanjia theaters and the mainland, as well as Xingmatai and Daohan.
The painting will start on July 7, two weeks after the release of (Mermaid), a masterpiece of summer!
If you're a bad movie, you won't get a good schedule.
Suppressing all kinds of complicated thoughts, Akai also smiled and clinked glasses with Wu Yusen, "Old Wu, your (Blood on the Street) has also been produced. As for the theaters, you have to hurry up."
"Now overall, the number of theaters is overflowing. If the summer schedule is well grasped, even if it accounts for 30% of the film schedule, the prospect is still promising."
"There are tens of thousands of houses in the (thorn mausoleum), and I didn't do anything. They are all run by the old Wu of the Zhushe, and the European and American publicity is also packaged there. In this regard?"
Wu Yusen nodded enthusiastically, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, Ah Zhen, Ah Wei and I must run around more. Even if I can't talk to the theater, I have a good relationship with Xueyou during the few months of filming. , more about the relationship between Xueyou, one of the four little heavenly kings of the Asian music scene."
"There should be hope for the Lunar New Year file."
Even if (Assassin’s Mausoleum) is released two weeks later, it will only be on August 8th, which is still the most powerful post-sequence for the summer file, the golden file.
Akai nodded in relief, "It's good that you know, let's not talk about when (Spiderman 2) (Wanted 3) (Jurassic Park 3) will be completed, Zhao Sheng hand-picked (Harry Potter), and Tiya A kid series that plays a few girl stars..."
"Zhao Sheng himself has promoted so much, and there are too many blockbuster movies by other giants."
"Try, we must try our best to make a lot of money during the summer vacation."
Their family invested in the film and television industry, and under the leadership of Ah Ju, they lost 7500-1000 million yuan or had dystocia. After Akai took over, the real investment he made was the [-] million Hong Kong dollar announcement of (Cai Ling), and [-] million buyout Wu Yusen's contract.
And initially it was 5000 million Hong Kong dollars for auction (Blood on the Street), and later it was raised to 8000 million Hong Kong dollars before the production was completed.
He nodded to confirm that the money spent was 1.65 million Hong Kong dollars, and now one hand (stabbing the mausoleum) and the other (bloody street), if there is an outbreak together, he will be proud, and even have a chance to snatch the crown prince.
Old Wu Ning nodded, "Don't worry, Young Master Kai, I will definitely work hard!"
………………
A few days later, as the release date of (Assassin's Tomb) was getting closer, Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen found Akai, both of them had complicated expressions.
Complicated is complicated, Old Wu said quickly, "Young Master Kai, there is good news and bad news."
Akai frowned, "Say it straight, don't go around the bush."
Wu Yusen explained, "It has been operated a lot. Relying on the quality of the movie, we (Blood Street) will be able to reach tens of thousands of theaters on August 8, including mainland ticket warehouses."
Akai was ecstatic, "Good job, well done, there will be many rewards!"
Wu Yusen, "..."
It was Zhang Jiazhen who coughed lightly, "On July 7, 24% of the film schedule (Thorn Hill) will be released, and it will be released together with the first episode of Armageddon 25, which will be released with 45% of the film schedule, and the remaining 2% of (Mermaid) will be released."
"On August 8th, we (Blood on the Street) will have 8% of the film schedule, and the second episode of Armageddon 15 will be 2% of the film schedule. However, Wanjia Cinemas also said that they respect the market."
"Armageddon 2 can start with such a lineup, which is completely supported by the highest box office record of 13.8 billion in the mainland for the first film! The first film in Hong Kong Haowan has a box office of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars."
"After the release, if the second film does not perform so strongly, we will adjust the film schedule according to market fluctuations."
Akai was stunned, and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, "Damn it, how did this happen? Delay, are you crazy to hedge against this kind of blockbuster??"
Zhang Jiazhen smiled wryly, "The summer vacation is over, and Wang Jing's (Little Ghost and Thief) is about to be released. I heard that Li Lianjie's (Jing Wu Heroes), his movie and Xiao Ma's (New Fist of Fury 1992) , is not a style at all.”
"Following that there is Lin Zhengying (One Eyebrow Taoist), and the final episode of the Great Battle in Pingjin is about to be finished? Wait???"
Akai was dumbfounded, what kind of devil schedule is this? ?
Wu Yusen opened his mouth to comfort, "Young Master Kai, don't worry, after all, it is still a matter of fighting for the quality of the movie. This kind of thing is very common. Back then, Bruce Willis's second movie (Die Hard) had all the action quality online, that is It has a good reputation now.”
"But it was attacked by (Kung Fu Panda) and (Jurassic Park 1) successively, and the box office hit the street. Bruce Willis is Zhao's cash cow. When encountering such a devil's schedule, no one can do anything."
"If you withdraw the file now, the (Jurassic) (Spiderman) and (Wanted Warrant) around the Lunar New Year file will drown a lot of people. I also heard that Wang Jing plans to shoot (God of Gamblers 2), he But super fast shooter."
"Besides, if the double version of the heroine (Little Ghost Thief) starring Azhi and Eva Green is a big hit, the sequel can be launched immediately. There is no holiday limit for the (Home Alone) Christmas file. Can finish a sequel."
"Zhou Xingxing, Liu Dehua, Brother Ah Rong and the others, if a new film is produced at this stage, then there will be a Police Story 10 that has been planned and prepared for 5 months..."
"Young Master Kai, there's nothing to hide from!"
"As long as our quality is guaranteed, we will not lose."
Keep avoiding, let alone this year, Zhang Jiazhen smiled wryly, "Unless Young Master Kai hides until 1994, and you can ensure that by that time, there will be no more blockbuster series to dominate the box office."
The situation is like this, even in October last year when Hong Jinbao wanted to call Cheng Long Pai (Flying Dragon Warrior), Aaron said that he was considering doing (Police Story 10), and it has been 5 months now, and I heard that (Police Story 10) is just In the process of production, it is difficult to say which step has been reached.
However, there have been many blockbuster movies that have exploded in this year.
Let’s just say that after Armageddon 1 made brilliant achievements, Armageddon 2 and Armageddon 3 were split into four movies for release, which are also four blockbuster movies!
Wanjia Theaters is really not cheating people. I really want to make things difficult for you and just stop showing it for you. In East Asia and Southeast Asia, what kind of trouble can a mere Akai and Lao Wu make?
Akai was gradually persuaded to accept the reality, and said helplessly, "This is too ridiculous! Isn't Lin Zhengying filming Wanted Warrant 3? Why did you save another one (One Eyebrow Taoist)? It's too much Alright."
Wu Yusen coughed lightly in embarrassment, and explained euphemistically, "Actually, Uncle Ying's one-eyed Taoist was finished after the release of Wanted 2 and before the third film started."
"He just didn't start in the next month, facing the impact of the first wave of VCD players and discs, so he was delayed, otherwise he wouldn't be ranked behind the summer schedule. Strictly speaking, the pony (New Fist of Fury) 1992) also belongs to Qu Lei.”
Akai was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood again. The next moment, he clapped his hands again, "Wait, we still have Mumbai. Last September, my old man opened the first batch of comprehensive shopping malls in Mumbai, and the first line of ten cinemas. , it’s more than half covered.”
"In November, he will go to Mumbai with Liu's funds. If there are 11 more theaters there, each with eight halls, there will be a lot to do!"
Wu Yusen and Zhang Jiazhen looked at each other in dismay, shocked, what the hell...is there such a big event? !
Could it be that the Asian film world is about to change?
