Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 227 Sweeping Overseas
Man Yu knew very well where the new world Zhang Yang was talking about was.

And she has no doubt that Zhang Yang can do it.

In fact, Zhang Yang has already been doing it.

"Fist of Heroes" in 82, through the operation of Jiahe, has actually made Zhang Yang somewhat famous overseas.

This includes not only the Southeast Asian generation who have been completely reduced to the box office of Hong Kong movies, but also Europe and the United States.

Later, Zhang Yang's "Food Truck" made him popular again in Europe and the United States, especially in Europe.

As for now, although Zhang Yang has left Golden Harvest, the overseas influence of Yingyang Pictures is already sweeping overseas, especially Southeast Asia, with the help of two movies.

Yes, these two movies that are gaining momentum are "A Better Tomorrow" and "The Fighter."

The first is the nature of a hero.

Although this film performed mediocrely in South Asian markets such as Thailand, it had unprecedented success in East Asia, especially in theaters in the Bay Islands, where it was almost sold out every time. In the Hanguo and Singapore areas, there were fewer theaters showing the film. , so it’s also hard to get a vote.

According to the news currently sent back by the distributor, in the Bay Island area alone, the film was sold for about 200 million US dollars, which is about 97 million Hong Kong dollars. In the Hanguo area, it was sold for 22 US dollars, and in Singapore, it was 13 US dollars. US dollars, US$[-] in Thailand...

Putting these messy data together, as of the end of the Christmas period, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" alone has accumulated a cumulative box office data of 332 million U.S. dollars, and subsequent video tape releases, as well as more lower-level theaters The online box office accumulation has not yet progressed at all.

Another film, "The King of Fighters," was slightly underwhelmed in the East Asian market. On the contrary, it achieved an unprecedented situation in the South Asian market, especially in Thailand, where it made a box office of up to 260 million US dollars. The data even exceeded the performance achieved by "A Better Tomorrow" on Bay Island.

Of course, this is naturally directly related to the fact that Zhang Yang has completed the post-production of the Thai version in advance, as well as the large number of local Thai scenery and cultural traditions in the film. However, in addition to Thailand, the film was created in Hanguo, Singapore, Bay Island and other places. The box office is naturally far inferior to that of "A Better Tomorrow".

Finally, according to statistics from the accounting department, as of the Christmas season, the two films had a total overseas box office of 620 million US dollars. Excluding the 3000% share and converted into Hong Kong dollars, the total profit of Yingyang Entertainment will be 72 million!
This more than 3000 million yuan is not a box office figure, but the net profit that Yingyang Entertainment will reap after being divided!
And we still don’t count the net profit after the video tapes and secondary theaters are released in the future!

This income is almost the largest amount of money Zhang Yang has received in his long career as a film actor.

It’s no wonder that Golden Harvest has spawned so many bugs in its overseas box office revenue in the later period. Some companies even insist on finishing the film and sending it overseas for release even if the film is losing money at the domestic box office.

With such a high income, anyone would probably be jealous!

And Zhang Yang, who has collected more than 3000 million in his own pocket, naturally cannot avoid a round of salary increases for the cast and crew.

This is not because Zhang Yang insists on flaunting his generosity, but these days, if you eat meat, you naturally have to make sure the people under you are full of soup. Otherwise, the lessons learned from Shaw Brothers and Jiahe are still watching. It's flamboyant.

Only one and a half years after the company was founded, the company has received a round of substantial salary increases from top to bottom. Naturally, everyone at Yingyang Entertainment is very enthusiastic. Together with the crew of "The Raid 2", the atmosphere has become even more enthusiastic. stand up.

In addition, the participants were either acting talents or old partners, so the filming of the film went extremely smoothly.Before the time reaches the end of December, all the scenes have been completed and the film has officially entered post-production.

The filming of the film was finished, but Zhang Yang had no time to rest.

After all, he was busy not only with Yingyang Entertainment, but also with the Fighting League.

With the addition of two masters, Shaka and Desilian, as well as Binny, the popularity of the Peak Fighting League in Hong Kong has reached a new level. Just as Zhang Yang had thought before, this Two catfish completely muddied the waters of the league.

Especially after half a year of training, Shaka and Dixilian have gradually adapted to the rules and fighting methods of mixed martial arts. Like Binny, who started later, they both took the lead in taking anti-fall courses. , and how to break away from the opponent's grip when falling to the ground.

Their choice is undoubtedly very smart. As the two have become familiar with their anti-fall skills and ground escape, their rankings in the league have also begun to soar rapidly. Even Shaka, who is the fastest, is ranked 10th. In the middle of the month, he already had the ability to hit the second place in the lightweight category.

However, Zhang Yang was very smart and did not rush to let Shaka challenge for the championship. He asked Binny to defend the welterweight championship at the end of October and gave Binny two months to lose weight and recover. The battle was forced to be postponed to the end of December, which also made the league championship game at the end of December extremely exciting.

As the arrangement for the last championship battle of the whole year, there are two blockbuster championship showdowns in total.

The first one to bear the brunt is naturally the lightweight championship battle between Shaka and Binny.

The final championship match was between Billy Zhou, who is now known as the middleweight devil, and the former Muay Thai champion, Desileen, who has completely adapted to the rules of mixed martial arts.

This matchup can be said to be the focus of the league.

Since the inception of the Peak Fighting League, Zhou Bili has been the middleweight champion and has never changed.

Now that Dixilian, a powerful Muay Thai champion, has come to fight, everyone wants to understand whether Zhou Billy's almost invincible dominance in the league is an illusion caused by huddled in Hong Kong Island without a strong opponent, or is it an illusion? In the field of mixed martial arts, his status as the devil is really as stable as a mountain.

With such a highly anticipated championship fight, as the owner of a major league and someone who has always loved the fighting industry, how could Zhang Yang not show up at the event?

What's more, he is also really curious about whether Zhou Billy, who has been practicing mixed martial arts with him for the longest time, can defeat Desilian.

On the night of December 85, 12.

Zhang Yang came to the stadium alone. This time, he did not go on stage or say hello to anyone else. He just bought a front seat like an ordinary spectator and waited quietly for the game to start.

As the audience entered one after another, when Zhang Yang was looking at the stage attentively, a stream of fragrance fell beside him.
