Golden Age 1990

Chapter 187 The Kung Fu Emperor is magically absent! (4000 words)
Although it is said that it was released in mainland China first, the release time of "Fist of Heroes" in Hong Kong is really not much later than that in mainland China.

In short, from the perspective of release, it will not be affected by piracy.

After all, there is no precedent for piracy of a movie from mainland China to Hong Kong.

Pirates have not had such successful experience yet.

I've never done this before.

Therefore, this time the box office is not satisfactory, this is the reason...

It must be said that although it is not satisfactory, "Fist of Heroes" still received nearly [-] million box office after two weeks of release.

Overall, this result cannot be considered very bad.

After all, Lian Jie's personal box office performance is probably at this level, and the box office of his average movie is just over [-] million.

This is of course based on the average level of his ordinary movies, excluding "The Swordsman 2" and "Once Upon a Time". After all, Old Monster Xu takes a lot of the credit for such movies. There is also Qingxia.

Qingxia was originally planning to retire. She was already old enough. This was really her plan before "The Swordsman 2". This was not a strange thing, but she didn't expect that Qingxia would come to this movie all of a sudden. A big turnaround.

It even had a great influence on the entire martial arts movie. After that, Qingxia's makeup was basically imitating Dongfang Invincible.

Especially this year's "Six Finger Piano Demon", this movie is actually a co-production between Mainland China and Hong Kong, and it includes many well-known mainland actors, such as Hu Sanniang.

For now, she probably couldn't imagine that in the future there would be a girl with the same name and the same surname in the same city, and she would be implicated in a car accident.

Not to mention these, just look at the Dongfang Invincible makeup that Qingxia has been using for many years, and you can see how much influence she has on this "Swordsman 2".

Therefore, Lian Jie is certainly responsible for the huge success of this movie, but it cannot be said that it accounts for a high proportion at all.

In fact, he can only take 4% of the credit. Qingxia is obviously more outstanding, and there are others.

In addition to Qingxia, there are two beauties, Zhilin and Jiaxin.

In addition, the villain Ren Woxing is also very good. The actor named Ren Shiguan plays the role. He has really played many villains.

For example, the iron cloth shirt in "Once Upon a Time", Feng Xifan in "The Deer and the Cauldron", and the walking skeleton eunuch in "The Three Heroes of the East".

There are also other supporting characters who are actually quite good, including Zuo Qianhe's wonderful performance.

Therefore, to say that Lian Jie has [-]% of the credit for this movie is really saying too much.

But how much does this have to do with "Fist of Heroes"?
Isn't that what his regular results look like?
This time is really different, because this movie is no longer his regular movie.

It is true that Bai Feng mainly markets in mainland China, but this marketing also affects Hong Kong.

This is almost inevitable. Nowadays, news exchanges between inland ports are very fast.

Ever since, this "Fist of Heroes" has the potential to be a blockbuster.

In fact, Lian Jie was anxious to return to Hong Kong because of this.

"Fist of Heroes" has already become a blockbuster movie!
Of course, I have to go back to Hong Kong to promote it well, and if this movie is successful, then I can go one step further!
As far as the Hong Kong film market is concerned, Lian Kit's truly single-handedly successful box office films are those Once Upon a Time in which he starred, plus the first film "Fang Shiyu".

Others are really average, but the problem is that he has produced a lot and made a lot of movies, so overall, he is quite profitable.

And now that "Fist of Heroes" has become a blockbuster movie, isn't this a good opportunity?

result……

If it were an ordinary Lian Kit movie, then as far as the Hong Kong media is concerned, they wouldn't say much. After all, such a movie would be okay.

However, now it has been built up and has become a blockbuster. You Lianjie even came back to hold a premiere.

You know, not many Hong Kong film premieres are held, and even fewer are more lively.

There is really no way around this, because Hong Kong is too crowded, let’s just talk about walking on the red carpet.

That is to say, you have to cross a relatively narrow road, and then you are done walking, because many theaters are hidden on such narrow streets.

Lian Jie also contacted a lot of media this time, which raised his profile.

No one expected that the box office would be so mediocre.

Now, it’s the summer season. Although Hong Kong’s summer season hasn’t been very good, it’s still a summer season after all.

As a result, your box office turned out to be just like this!
Yes, this is based on the blockbusters.

It's considered a blockbuster, but it can't have a box office of 1000 million, right?

Ever since, the Hong Kong media started.

These media outlets were already very bad-mouthed, and now they are even more bad-mouthed.

"The Kung Fu Emperor can't be beaten?"

"Is this considered a blockbuster?"

""Fist of Heroes" performed brilliantly but failed at the box office!"

This is still readable, but the headlines in some newspapers are simply unpalatable. "Lian Jie is from the mainland," and these Hong Kong media people constantly use this to ridicule him.

It’s really impossible to watch.

In this way, this movie simply encountered Waterloo in Hong Kong.

……

"Is the Kung Fu Emperor finished?"

"You probably shouldn't look at it that way."

"But this time, the box office in Hong Kong was not as good as that in mainland China."

"Obviously so, but it can be regarded as finding another way."

Long Wu and the others are naturally very concerned about this matter. Although they did not directly cast the film "Fist of Heroes", there are many people in it who have a good relationship with them.

For example, Chen Jiashang did very well in "The Dragon Back to School" and earned Yongsheng a lot of money.

As for the current film, there is a high probability that Lian Jie will not lose any money, but it is really a big blow in terms of reputation.

Hong Kong's movie box office is not booming, but mainland China is very prosperous.

You should be able to make money, that’s no problem, what will you do if you can?
The Kung Fu Emperor is no longer magical, can Lian Jie still be able to fight?

Such doubts are absolutely inevitable, but Long Wu saw another opportunity.

Go to the mainland.

Since the development there is better, why not go there?
But... Long Wu suddenly felt that Lian Jie might not be able to go to the mainland.

He has long had the idea of ​​recruiting this Lian Jie, and it can be said that he has been studying it for a long time. Therefore, it is almost certain that it will be difficult for this person to return to the mainland to develop.

Of course, this is not impossible, it just depends on the benefits.

But this happened.

The Hong Kong box office of "Fist of Heroes" is not as good as the mainland box office. What will be the consequences?

Long Wu felt inexplicably that he seemed to have a greater chance.

Will Lian Jie and Bai Feng have a falling out?
Although this guy also cooperates with Bai Feng, cooperation is cooperation and means are means.

Anyway, judging from what has happened before, Bai Feng and Lian Jie seem to have an average relationship.

Now is the chance?

Long Wu was a little happy, so many of the people he had placed before could be put to use.

……

the other side of Hong Kong.

"It's amazing! The box office in mainland China seems to have exceeded 2000 million!"

"Yes, but there are only 1000 million here in Hong Kong. How can we calculate this?"

"How else can we calculate it? It's all about making money anyway."

"It's different. In Hong Kong, it's obviously the Kung Fu Emperor who is doing it himself, but in mainland China, it's obviously Bai Feng."

"Indeed."

"So... something will happen to them Zhengdong?"

"Very likely!"

"I really didn't expect that the mainland box office would perform like this."

"I know, the mainland is too big, and their movies are released slowly. The entire continent is not released at the same time, which means..."

"Is there any chance that "Fist of Heroes" will exceed 3000 million?"

"You can't say for sure. If it exceeds 3000 million, then..."

"Hey...there's something good to watch."

Big Brother Huang and others will naturally not let go of the movie "Fist of Heroes". They have been watching it since a long time.

The situation this time is indeed very strange. The mainland film market, which was originally not very good, suddenly picked up this time.

The key is to compare. How come a movie that is so popular in mainland China is so average in Hong Kong?
Of course, Da Lao Huang and the others are not stupid, and they also know that this matter will have a bad impact.Will Bai Feng and Lian Jie break up?
Well, it seems that they have never teamed up before.

I just made this movie, and this movie Bai Feng is mainly promoting it in mainland China.

From a broad perspective, there is nothing wrong with what Bai Feng did. He should have done it this way in mainland China.

But, will Lian Jie not care at all?

Da Laohuang and the others are just like the masses, and they really want to know the future direction of this matter.

However, they also considered a problem.

"Why is it such a failure in Hong Kong?"

Yes, why is the Kung Fu Emperor no longer magical?

The reason may be quite simple.

……

Bai Feng didn't come to Hong Kong, but it wasn't far.

He came to Yangcheng and planned to do some inspections here.

After all, in his opinion, the theater system reform must be spread across the country. Even though he may not be able to get involved in the south, there is always no harm in coming to take a look.

Bai Feng is well aware of a huge feature of our domestic business community, that is, when a business model is successful, basically similar or identical business models will spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain the next day.

The reform of the theater system in Northeast China is quite successful so far, so there will definitely be people in other regions following suit.

Maybe they won't be that fast. After all, they have to unite many movie theaters, but it would be very difficult for Bai Feng to get involved.

But here we come... Unexpectedly, we met a woman.

"Mr. Bai, can we have a chat?"

"Of course there's no problem."

This woman is Lizhi, and her appearance, Bai Feng knows very well, must be related to the poor performance of "Fist of Heroes" at the Hong Kong box office.

The two made an appointment to have dinner at the White Swan, after all, Bai Feng lived here.

When Lizhi comes over, she probably won't stay long, but this chat is absolutely crucial.

Bai Feng was very generous, setting up a table and just waiting for people to come over.

Li Zhi was dressed in red, elegant, elegant and sexy. When she appeared, she had pink face, peach cheeks and flaming red lips.

But the most outstanding thing is the pair on the chest, which is really proud.

So, after exchanging pleasantries, we got to the point very simply.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. After all, we are still very familiar with each other."

Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but this 'familiarity'... made Lizhi's face turn a little red.

What is she thinking?
But speaking is still important.

"What does Mr. Bai think is the reason for the failure of "Fist of Heroes" at the Hong Kong box office this time?"

Sure enough, that's the problem.

Bai Feng laughed, "Actually, it's very simple. You two should know better than me. That is, Hong Kong has probably become tired of this kind of martial arts movies."

This reason is really accurate.

Li Zhi didn't have too many surprises, and they obviously analyzed it.

What can be analyzed is analyzed, and how to deal with it is the key.

We have to solve the problem.

Then...the key is here.

"Mr. Bai, do you have any suggestions?"

This was a very good suggestion, and it happened to be Bai Feng's specialty.

Is his consulting business expanding again?
Bai Feng smiled, he was not in a hurry, "Miss Lizhi always speaks nicely, but you should also understand that there is no free lunch in this world."

This……

It's alright. He Bai Feng didn't say it directly. What's the price?
Will Lizhi play dumb?

"I understand that Mr. Bai is the king of ideas, and any advice he gives cannot be free."

This woman's eyes are very seductive.

Bai Feng seemed unmoved, "I know you also have plans. Since you have already thought about it, Hong Kong is becoming more and more difficult to deal with, so you should have plans next."

This plan is obviously to leave Hong Kong.

But the question is, where can we go after leaving Hong Kong?

Bai Feng knew that Lian Jie later went to Hollywood, but what about before that?

Bai Feng actually knew something about this part, such as the key movie.

"Black Man".

Don't underestimate this film, this is actually the real brick that helped Lian Kit knock on the door of Hollywood.

But come to think of it, even at that time, Lian Jie was playing a small supporting role in the beginning, and he was still a villain.

Now, even if he wants to develop in Hollywood, that is not possible.

and so……

"Mr. Bai, don't you want to give us a good direction?"

Lizhi’s statement was quite straightforward.

But Bai Feng shook his head, "If you want advice, just think about what you should pay."

This statement has always been his principle.

But Lizhi also has its own bargaining chips.

"Isn't Mr. Bai afraid that the Kung Fu Emperor will look elsewhere?"

Is this talking about Long Wu?

Bai Feng smiled and said: "I'm not worried about this. Everyone comes out to hang out for profit. You just have to weigh it up."

What he said was Yun Danfengqing, and then, Bai Feng said that he had eaten, and took the initiative to end the meeting and conversation.

……

At night, Yangcheng is brightly lit.

It should be said that this city is developing well now. Although there are still many urban villages, compared with other big cities in our country, it is really okay.

Bai Feng stood by the window sill of the guest room, holding a glass of red wine, looking outside.

There are some fluctuations in my heart.

He really wanted to make good use of Lian Jie. No matter what happened to this guy later, if he could make money for himself now, that would be great.

Bai Feng knew very well that he could not change Lian Jie, a kung fu superstar, and he could not make any mistakes.

For now, if it can create more box office, it will contribute to our mainland Chinese film market.

That's pretty good.

As for the means...that is, suggestions...that is, the price...

Bang bang, there was a knock on the door, and Bai Feng knew the price was coming.

"Please come in."

"Mr. Bai didn't even ask who was outside the door?"

"No need to ask."

"Hey, you are really awesome."

“No matter what, my interests must be guaranteed first.

After that, I plan to make a movie, a movie with an international flavor.

It combines stars from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as from Japan.

Yes, Nakayama Shinobi is very popular.

This movie is called "Dark Man"

　Thank you all for your support, thank you very much.

　　The temperature has dropped recently and I'm a little upset, sorry.
