Entertainment Achiever System

Since it was a box office celebration and a press conference, as the name suggests, the layout of the venue must be very beautiful, grand, and well-organized. Naturally, the organizer was willing to spend some money to decorate the facade.

The fact is the same. Today's Sheraton Hotel has a very spacious conference hall that can accommodate 500 people. A lot of beautiful flowers were placed, and there was a large background cloth that made the guests feel conspicuous.

Flowers are not uncommon, but the background cloth makes people have to look sideways.

There are only two lines on the background cloth: Universal Entertainment Group warmly celebrates the global box office of "The True Colors of a Man" breaking 2 million US dollars, revitalizing the reputation of Hong Kong action movies and making the whole world look with admiration.

It is no exaggeration to say that upon seeing the text on this background cloth, the Hong Kong celebrities, senior executives of peer organizations, and Hong Kong reporters who came to the scene all felt a strong sense of pride and excitement Feeling overwhelmed.

It's been too long!It's been a long, long time since Hong Kong movies are so good!

Although "Infernal Affairs" in 02 was known as a "rescue work", although it caused a sensation in Asia at that time, although it sold the copyright to Hollywood for a record-breaking nearly 0 US dollars, although this film was called by n people Classic gangster movies, although there are countless ones.

However, this drama is after all a small audience, and it is also a small profit!

Yes.Gathered 4 great movie kings and 3 great queens."Infernal Affairs", which has countless powerful and idol stars, is really just a small profit for the niche.Although Hong Kong reported a box office of 5500 million, it can be regarded as recovering the cost, but you must know that the investment in this movie is as high as 3000 million Hong Kong dollars!And the total box office in Asia is less than [-] million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting the share of theaters, how much can investors earn?

To put it bluntly, don't look at "Infernal Affairs" has won fame and word of mouth, but in the final analysis.This thing is still too literary and artistic. Those who love it will like it very much, but those who don't like it will not understand it. It is far worse than the hit "Kung Fu" in 04.

After all, so what if you've won tons of awards?So what if he is admired to death by people in the industry?One sentence that you can't understand is enough to make this movie unpopular. After all, no matter how many awards you win, it's not as good as everyone watching it, and it's not as good as investors making a lot of money, which will make the entire movie market hot from then on!

What "Infernal Affairs" failed to do, "Kung Fu" in 04 did it, and it sold 1 million US dollars at the box office worldwide.This is already the best box office result (not counting inflation) of a Hong Kong film (the main creators and investors are almost all from Hong Kong). At that time, some people made an oath: the box office of "Kung Fu".No Hong Kong film can surpass it.

As a result, in just three short years, "The True Colors of a Man", a mid-to-high-end investment that everyone was not optimistic about before, soared like a lurking dragon, and it was only released for one month (a few more God), but the global box office has broken through 2 million U.S. dollars. Even if this data is placed in Hollywood, it can definitely be ranked among the top 30 in this year's Hollywood box office list.

Of course, although the box office data can easily attract ordinary audiences, for those insiders in the Hong Kong film industry present, they care more about the reputation of "The True Colors of a Man", especially in Korean, Japanese, European and American markets outside the Chinese-speaking area. Word of mouth in the port market.

In the past, there were very few commercial films that could sell well in Europe and the United States. This was mainly because the cultural differences between the two sides were too great, and European and American audiences could not understand the implication shown in the films. Can't sweep the globe like a Hollywood movie.

Even "Kung Fu", a classic Hong Kong movie, only earned $3700 million at the box office in the United States. The reason is that American audiences don't understand it well, and the laughs and cool points are not obvious.

But "The True Colors of a Man" is different, because this is a fighting action police film, not a "magical" kung fu film about flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. And the most important thing is that the story takes place in modern society, and the plot is set very neatly. , which makes European and American movie fans not have to worry about not understanding it.

Because there are policemen and criminals in every country, the sense of substitution in this setting is definitely more acceptable to European and American movie fans than Chinese-style romance movies, classical martial arts movies, and other love-hate movies!

Therefore, since the film was released in European and American countries, it has received almost the highest praise among Chinese-language films, even "Hollywood Report", "New York Times", "Los Angeles Times", "The Times"...etc. Important professional and comprehensive newspapers and periodicals also keep publishing favorable comments about this movie.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The True Colors of a Man" is definitely the most popular Chinese film among European and American audiences. Doesn't this just confirm the sentence: "Reviving the reputation of Hong Kong's action movies will impress the whole world"?

Let me ask, how can everyone not be excited and proud of such a film that has once again re-established the reputation of Hong Kong films and will benefit the entire Hong Kong film industry?

Well, although this is indeed inseparable from the credit of a mainland filmmaker, in any case, the mark of this film is always: Made in Hong Kong.

"Two hundred million dollars in box office revenue! I don't know if there will be another Hong Kong film that is more powerful than this one?" A reporter from "Film Biweekly" murmured to himself expectantly.

"I find it difficult!"

A reporter from "Sing Tao Daily" shook his head very positively: "If this movie is really as planned at the beginning, if Yu Wenle is hired to play the role of Fang Yiwei, I think the box office of this movie will be the lowest. Divide by 5 times, and even earn 2 million Hong Kong dollars, let alone 2 million US dollars globally!"

"Yu Wenle's box office appeal is indeed not as strong as that of Xiaoshazai, at least Europeans and Americans will definitely not buy it!"

At this time, the main creators hadn’t come out yet, so the reporter from Ming Pao next to him couldn’t help but interjected, “Besides, the mainland, Japan and South Korea are also unlikely to be so popular. I haven’t seen Yu Dong, the president of Polybona. He only dared to estimate at the beginning. Is it 8000 million?"

"I admit that Tang Xiaosa, a boy from the mainland, really contributed a lot, but you have to know that the other main creators of this show are all from Hong Kong."

The male reporter of "Film Biweekly" said a little angrily: "He is really not that great, because the main reason why this movie sells so well is that the script is well written and Chen Musheng is well directed. The people working too hard, otherwise, no matter how strong the appeal is, they won’t be able to sell a bad movie.”

……

Brother Xiaosa didn't know that someone was deliberately depriving him of his powerful role in this movie, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to those messy opinions, because as soon as he returned to the conference hall, Chen Musheng immediately greeted him and Xie Tingfeng and others immediately went to the stage and sat down, and then amidst the cheers and applause of the audience, a female emcee announced that the celebration party and press conference had officially started. . )
