Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 432 Spring Festival Movie

"The movie not only eats people, but also eats wallets. The box office exceeded 10 million in one week!"

"Celebrating the New Year, eat something good, like... people?"

"Horror science fiction movie, long live the classic masterpiece is coming!"

The Spring Festival period is a battleground for all film companies in Hong Kong.

For this year’s Spring Festival, various film companies have launched their best movies to compete.

For example, New Art City, in order to restore the decline, is actually planning to restart the classic IP and film "The New Best Partner". Not only the original cast members such as Xu Guanji and Mika, but also superstars such as Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, and Lee Soo-hyun were recruited to form a new film. Golden lineup.

With a big IP and a super cast, there’s no reason for a movie like this to hit the streets!

Xinbao Cinemas also launched a big IP movie, "Wealth Comes Again".

The first two parts of this movie grossed nearly 5000 million at the box office, making it a phenomenal movie.

Now, the third part has been launched for the Spring Festival.

To be honest, part of the reason why this movie has a high box office is luck!

Director Gao Zhisen believes that he has finished telling the story in the first two films, and the part that satirizes current affairs has passed that time, and it was expressed very thoroughly, so there is no need to make a third film.

However, the company bosses did not agree. They believed that the audience liked to watch this kind of subject matter, so they insisted on filming a third part.

However, what is surprising is that Gao Zhisen actually chose to resign. It was not because of differences of opinion, but because someone gave him more compensation.

As for who it is, it’s actually not hard to guess!

Naturally, Xinbao Company would not let go of this IP. They invited Chen Jianzhong and Peng Jicai, two screenwriters who had worked at ATV, to complete the script. The director was replaced by Xian Qiran, who came from TVB.

Although the three main creators are all newcomers in the film industry, the movie itself is a big IP. The actors Biao Shu and Fei Jie have not been replaced. They are all the same cast. You can tell it is a hit!

In addition, there are also the second work of Jiahe's King of Flowers series "The Brave Tiger King of Flowers", the new work of the older generation comedy king Xu Guanwen "Family Joy", Hong Xinbao's powerful movie "Dragon Playing with Phoenix" and so on.

However, just when everyone was speculating on which movie would win this year’s Spring Festival, a new movie “Parasite” was released and took the lead in this year’s Spring Festival.

In just one week, it actually earned 10 million box office. It seems that this movie can earn at least 20 million at the box office, or even 30 million. Of course, the premise is that the next "Family Fun" will be released. It will have a huge impact on "Parasite".

But no matter what, the movie "Parasite" is completely popular!

Not only are various media reporting on it, audiences are discussing it on the streets, and even all the film companies on Hong Kong Island are studying why this movie can make a lot of money?

"Why? Why are you so popular?"

Li Wanshan was sitting in the office, looking at the report in his hand and rubbing his head, so that his originally straight hair was messy.

"I'm afraid all the filmmakers in Hong Kong are like you, boss, right?"

A short middle-aged man wearing glasses who sat opposite Li Wanshan joked.

This bold person is named Ye Huihuang, and he is considered a very experienced filmmaker. He is now the producer of the Kirin Entertainment Film Department, and is considered Li Wanshan's confidant in the company.

This time, they were able to bring Xu Guanwen and Gao Zhisen to Qilin Entertainment, thanks to Ye Huihuang's matchmaking.

"Stop talking sarcastically. If I had known that "Parasite" was so powerful, I should have moved "Family Fun" back!"

"Parasite" is the work of New Vision Company, a subsidiary of Kirin Entertainment, and "Family Fun" is Xu Guanwen's first film when he came to Kirin Entertainment to establish a new company, Xu's Pictures. The kind of film that only allows victory but not defeat!

Nowadays, these two movies are only scheduled for one week. It is really killing Li Wanshan. The palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh!

"Boss, it's useless to say this now. If "Family Fun" is moved back, I'm afraid it will bump into "New Best Partner"." "Hey! It's so annoying!"

Li Wanshan leaned back on the boss's chair, his face full of annoyance.

Since my company has too many good movies and not enough schedules, this is really a happy trouble.

If other film company bosses saw this, they would be furious to death.

That’s it, don’t give it to me! Where does this make sense?

"Actually, boss, you don't have to worry too much. I've studied it carefully and there shouldn't be much competition between the two movies!"

Just when Li Wanshan was bored, Ye Huihuang stroked his glasses and said quietly.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"I have analyzed that many of the viewers who went to "Parasite" are fans of Mr. Banzai. They are fans of the original comic. As for the rest, they went to see it for the special effects! In addition, This movie is a thriller, while "Family Fun" is a comedy. The target audiences of the two movies do not overlap, so there should be no fight!"

"So that's it, that's great!"

After listening to Ye Huihuang's analysis, Li Wanshan suddenly smiled, as if the haze that had gathered above his head had been swept away.

Li Wanshan is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.

Especially since it only took him ten years to create the largest film company in Hong Kong Island. How could such a person be a fool?

The reason why his mood changed so quickly was because he believed in Ye Huihuang's ability.

Otherwise, if this person has no ability, why would he be so arrogant in front of him?

"However, I really admire Mr. Long Live. His humble comics can actually achieve such a huge box office. The title of Comics Jin Yong is well-deserved!"

Ye Huihuang's emotion at this moment was really not to please Li Wanshan, but because he was sincerely emotional.

Due to his age and work, although Ye Huihuang has heard of Li Wannian's comics, he has never read them. Now I see a comic by Li Wannian that is not so well-known. After being adapted, it can reap such high box office for movies. So those well-known comics How much box office can it earn?

Thinking of this, Ye Huihuang's heart couldn't help but become hot!

"Don't think about it, my younger brother treasures those comics. Over the years, how many people have tried to get his authorization, but failed. Otherwise, why would this "Parasite" be filmed now? My younger brother didn't let up at all before! "

"Why?"

"Then who knows? Anyway, my brother will definitely not suffer!"

Although Li Wanshan didn't know Li Wannian's intentions, with his years of understanding, he was not worried about Li Wannian at all.

"Oh, what a pity!"

"Yeah, what a pity!"

For a moment, the only sound left in the office was the sighs of the two people.
