Chapter [-] Xu Ke is a talent

Hong Kong movies are too small.Many Hong Kong filmmakers have already realized this, and Lin Jianyue naturally knows it.

But he also knows that not everyone can follow Zhang Yi's films and have great appeal in the European and American markets.So, he set his sights on the mainland.

Moreover, Zhang Yi's several films released in the mainland, whether it was "Ip Man" and "Myth" before, or the current "Jurassic Park" and "Boxer", all have box office in the mainland of more than [-] million.Moreover, fares in mainland China are now much lower than in other places.

The ticket price is so much lower, it can still reach [-] million.Then, the potential of the mainland market is naturally terrifying.

However, as Zhang Yi said, the review of movies in mainland China can be said to have reached a harsh level.Generally, if a movie wants to be shown in the mainland, apart from the movie itself, there must be a relationship.

Zhang Yi's relationship in the mainland goes directly to the central government, but he has so many films, only a few of which are released in the mainland, which shows how difficult it is for movies to be released in the mainland.

"Does Mr. Zhang have any good suggestions?" Lin Jianyue asked immediately.

"Cooperate with mainland film companies!" Zhang Yi said lightly.

Lin Jianyue nodded upon hearing this.He knew in his heart that Zhang Yi was ahead of everyone in the mainland film market.Leaving aside the relationship between Zhang Yi and those film companies in the mainland, it can be seen that he invested hundreds of millions to build a movie theater in the mainland a few years ago.

Although Xu Ke's version of "Zhu Xian" is adapted from Zhang Yi's novel, it has nothing to do with Zhang Yi after all.There were quite a few stars who came to join in the show, but when Zhang Yi's movie was released, the starlight still seemed much dimmed.Heavyweights, not two.

However, it is much better than other films released. After all, the investment of 5000 million is for Hong Kong today.Still a blockbuster.There are not two film companies in Hong Kong that can independently invest 5000 million.

The novel "Zhu Xian" is too long, and it is obviously impossible to adapt it into a movie.Xu Ke's film ends with Baguio rescuing Zhang Xiaofan and dies, and then there is a follow-up scene of more than a minute, which leaves suspense for the whole film.

This kind of cutting, apparently started from Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil", has been used by many film directors.That's pretty much the case with any movie that has the potential for a sequel.

Playing Zhang Xiaofan is Liang Jiahui who was born as an emperor.For this actor, Zhang Yi naturally has no objection.He believed that with Zhang Xiaofan's personality changes before and after, with Liang Jiahui's acting skills, he would definitely be able to handle it well.

Baguio's character, Xu Ke, was interested in Zhou Huimin, but was blocked by Zhang Yi.Later, I chose Li Suzhen, who was indeed going to the third-level route in the future.Of course, at this time, it is still displayed on the screen with a pure appearance.I just don't know if she will go to the third level after this "blockbuster", Lulu points.

A female star in the entertainment industry is going to the third level.Largely for red.Red, for those who are in the entertainment circle, it is too tempting.Not red, is dead.

certainly.There are also people who have become popular, saying: Once popular, life is worse than death.

But these words are not deterrent to those who are not popular.What's more.Better to die than to live.

Li Suzhen seems to regard this film as an opportunity to become famous, and put a lot of effort into playing the role of Baguio vividly.certainly.Perhaps this has something to do with the training of director Xu Ke.

As for the other heroine, Lu Xueqi, what Zhang Yi didn't expect was that Xu Ke was looking for Lin Qingxia.Needless to say, Lin Qingxia's acting skills always gave Zhang Yi an awkward feeling.Perhaps Lin Qingxia's Dongfang was not impressed by Zhang Yi too much by that role.But at this time, he asked Lin Qingxia to play Mulan, and he had a preconceived illusion.

The story is very compact, and in addition to special effects and fighting, it also has novelty and shock that are different from those of previous films.The background scenery inside was taken by Xu Ke in the mainland, although it is not as beautiful as Zhang Yi believed, like a fairyland.But it's also unsatisfactory.After all, today's audience has not been influenced by the scenery in "Avatar".

In "Zhu Xian", it naturally makes the audience feel a fairy-like vision.

The only thing that makes Zhang Yi feel inadequate is naturally the vision that Zhang Yi has always been keen on.Especially when the Zhuxian Sword Formation was opened at the end, although it was shocking, it still did not achieve the effect Zhang Yi had in mind.

However, in any case, in the late 80s, being able to do this is already considered a classic.Zhang Yi knows that this film cannot be judged by his 21st century perspective.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of this movie?" Lin Jianyue asked Zhang Yi with a smile after hearing the overwhelming applause in the theater at the end of the movie.

Zhang Yi's face remained unchanged, which made Xu Ke at the side a little uneasy.If this film does not get Zhang Yi's approval, it will not only affect the film's box office, but also affect his future development.

"Very good!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Lin Jianyue frowned slightly, and he naturally heard a hint of politeness in Zhang Yi's words.There are obviously some aspects of this film that make Zhang Yi dissatisfied.He intentionally looked at Xu Ke, but Xu Ke looked at Zhang Yi with a questioning face.

"For 5000 million Hong Kong dollars, it is already the ultimate to be able to shoot this kind of effect. I have to say that this film is a classic." Zhang Yi glanced at the two and continued.

When Lin Jianyue heard this, he smiled and said, "Then what does Mr. Zhang think about the box office of this film?"

Lin Jianyue is naturally satisfied with the excellence of the film.However, what he is most concerned about is whether the investment in this film can be recovered in Southeast Asia.He wanted to release it in the mainland, but with the approval of the mainland, it is obviously impossible.

In Europe and the United States, it is inevitable that there will be some unacceptable conditions, and the only thing to rely on is the Southeast Asian market.

"Hehe. You can tell by the expressions of the audience." Zhang Yi smiled, and then looked into the theater.

Lin Jianyue smiled and didn't ask any more questions.Although after watching the film, his confidence in the film has increased a bit, but he still has no idea.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's answer.But he couldn't show it.

This film, because of its weaker visual effects, may not be able to make a difference in the European and American markets.After all, due to the cultural differences between the East and the West, western audiences may not be able to understand the storyline in this purely oriental film.If you can't catch their attention in terms of visual effects, it will be difficult to make a difference.

However, it is still no problem to recover the cost in Southeast Asia.

For Media Asia, cost recovery is a victory.After all, this film won't be too bad on word of mouth.At least give the company's popularity out.

"Xu is a talented person, so try to win him over more." Lin Baixin and Lin Jianyue said.

After hearing what his father said, Lin Jianyue said, "This film is really well done. But from Zhang Yi's expression, it seems that the box office of this film will not be too high."

"Since he said that this film is a classic, the word of mouth will not be bad. This is a victory for the company, at least the company's reputation has been spread along with the word of mouth of this film. It also lets people in the film circle know the company's reputation. Strength. Not only Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers can invest in blockbuster films, but also Media Asia. Besides, from the very beginning, Zhang Yi never thought that this film would lose money, but it just couldn’t make money. "It's much better to lose money and make money." Lin Baixin said with a smile.

"If he doesn't lose money, why doesn't he invest? If he can't make money, why did Dad support Xu Ke in filming?" Lin Jianyue asked with some doubts.

"Hehe, you see that the movie Zhang Yi invested in didn't make a lot of money! He just recovered the cost. What did he invest in? After all, he doesn't have a film company in Hong Kong. But Media Asia is different. It needs a movie to become famous, even if it loses It doesn't matter if you spend a little money. And Zhang Yi has such a great reputation, does he still need this movie to make his name?" Lin Baixin said with a smile.

"I heard that Zhang Yi is planning to cooperate with Xu Ke again!" Lin Jianyue said.

"So Xu is a talent, so we need to attract more. Zhang Yi's vision is very poisonous. Whether it is the grasp of the market or the discovery of talents, no one in Hong Kong can match." Lin Baixin said, with a flash of admiration in his eyes .

As for Zhang Yi, no matter what class in Hong Kong, there may be people who don't like him, but absolutely no one who doesn't admire him. At the age of 22, it is admirable to have such an achievement. (To be continued..)
