The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 386 The Situation in Hong Kong

Under such high-intensity publicity, the popularity of "Evil" naturally increased greatly, and even citizens who basically don't watch horror movies became interested. After its release, it really aroused a lot of repercussions.

Although the movie "Evil" is full of CULT taste, it is murderous, violent, and erotic, and there are even many disgusting scenes.However, in this movie, Gui Zhihong went against his previous style of only pursuing bloody violence and nausea. He tried his best to exaggerate the atmosphere of horror and suspense, and made it a rare horror masterpiece in Hong Kong.

If the movie "Evil" is based on the horror atmosphere, it is almost as good as "The Horror List", which is regarded as the number one horror film in Hong Kong.Such a high-quality horror film has also been praised by movie fans, who regard it as a rare horror classic in the Hong Kong film industry and have been regarded as "the scariest movie".Of course, there are also fans who don't like it. After watching it, they scolded Gui Zhihong for being disgusting.

However, the positive and negative evaluations did not reduce the box office of "Evil", on the contrary, it aroused people's curiosity even more.People want to know what this movie is about, so that those who love it can call it the scariest movie in Hong Kong.It can also make people who don't like to watch it call it a piece of shit, and won't watch it if they give away tickets for free.

So these curious people went to the cinema to watch it one after another, and they also had positive and negative evaluations.One party commented that it is indeed the scariest movie in Hong Kong, and it scared our darlings to thump.The other party scolded liars for killing people more than they deserve, and said such a disgusting movie is good, it's a waste of money.

Their quarrel, coupled with "Daily Daily", "Oriental Phantom", and TVB TV station's vigorous promotion, it is almost like Lao Mouzi's "The Golden Armor" and "House of Flying Daggers" were released back then. The scene was the same.The more scolded the movie is, the higher the box office is, and there are some viewers who go to the theater to watch the movie, just to see how bad it is.Therefore, the psychology of the audience is sometimes very strange, making it impossible to fathom.

The film "Evil" finally took 650 million Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as the highest-grossing film in the history of Hong Kong horror films.And Gui Zhihong has also been honored as the king of horror in Hong Kong with this "Evil". Coupled with his faint evil spirit, this title is really suitable for him.

After "Evil", Gui Zhihong proposed the shooting plan of "Magic". This film is to introduce Southeast Asia's head-down into Hong Kong horror movies.Although Hong Kong is regarded as a cultural desert by the mainland, in fact, Hong Kong filmmakers are actually very smart and know how to incorporate everything, whether it is European masterpieces, dramas, oriental classical literature, Hong Kong martial arts novels, Nanyang ghost stories, Japanese manga, etc. , all of which can be melted into one furnace with their own ingenuity, and all these elements are digested and absorbed by Hong Kong filmmakers, without any abruptness.

For example, the "Frozen Man" co-starred by Yuan Biao and Zhang Manyu borrowed elements from the American "Challenger" series, but it is an authentic Hong Kong Kung Fu movie, and there is no sign of any blunt patchwork.I have to praise Hong Kong movies for their flexibility.

Gui Zhihong used to film in Malaysia in his early years, and his Malay film "Love My Love" still holds the record as the best-selling film in Malaysia.During the filming process, I have seen Malaysians worship those figures such as those who have lowered their heads, and have become interested in the lowered heads that have been circulating in Nanyang.

Now that Hong Kong people are starting to travel to Southeast Asia, they have seen a lot of strange things, and they returned to Hong Kong to give a lot of lectures, which sparked a wave of travel craze in Thailand, Malaysia and Thailand.And Nanyang's head lowering technique, raising little ghosts, etc., were also brought back by superstitious Hong Kong people, which set off a wave of craze in Hong Kong.

Therefore, director Gui Zhihong keenly grasped this opportunity and proposed to make a movie about the Nanyang head lowering technique, which is this "Magic".

Because his "Evil" has just been released at the box office, director Gui Zhihong's words naturally carry weight.Now, after a seven-person group discussion, he passed the review and paid him to shoot this "Magic".

As the box office of the film "Evil" continued to sell well, major film companies in Hong Kong rushed to follow suit, but compared to Gui Zhihong, who had already filmed in advance, they were still more than half a month late.This also made the group of seven feel lucky. Fortunately, the review was fast on their side.

……

In addition to the good results of Gui Zhihong's "Evil" in the first half of the year, a romance film released by Brilliant Cinemas in the first half of the year also achieved good results.This romantic film is "The Legend of the White Snake" co-starred by Lin Qingxia and Qin Xianglin, and it is also produced by Ms. Qiong Yao's Super Star Film Company.

Lin Qingxia is now regarded as the hottest star in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Nanyang, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, China, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, China, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, China, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan. The romantic films she starred in are even more widely acclaimed.And she shot twelve films in one year in [-], such a high number is also surprising.

And because many of the films she has filmed are all in collaboration with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin.Because there are too many collaborations, and the relationship between men and women is played on the shelf, so the love scandal between the three is also the subject of extensive media reports.

The report that Xu Guanwu saw now was a movie promotion report that used scandal as a selling point.When he saw Lin Qingxia and Qin Xianglin smiling and standing together, he suddenly felt jealous.

Xu Guanwu angrily pulled out the newspaper clipping, rolled it into a ball of paper and threw it into the trash can.But after a while, he leaned over and took out the ball of paper. After unfolding it carefully, he took out a paper cutter from the drawer, cut off Qin Xianglin, and threw the ball into the trash can again. =. =!

As for Lin Qingxia's half clipping, Xu Guanwu carefully flattened it, and then pasted it carefully with glue.Looking at Lin Qingxia who was smiling on the newspaper, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He and Taiwan's number one beauty have not seen each other for more than two years. The last time she and Hu Yinmeng came to Hong Kong in [-] to star in "A Dream of Red Mansions" directed by director Li Hanxiang.At that time, living under the same roof with these two beauties really made Xu Guanwu a little distracted.Thinking about it now, it seems that there was a little bit of ambiguity between them, but at that time, they didn't grasp the timing accurately, so Xu Guanwu couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thinks about it now.

"Now that she has so many scandals with Qin Han and Qin Xianglin, she should have had a lot of emotional entanglements with them." Xu Guanwu closed the file anxiously and said.

Xu Guanwu remembered that Lin Qingxia was engaged to Qin Xianglin, but Qin Han kept stalking her, and finally made Lin Qingxia change her mind.But the key point was that Qin Han hadn't divorced yet.But after Qin Han finally divorced his wife, he didn't know why he didn't marry Lin Qingxia for a long time. In the end, Lin Qingxia couldn't wait anymore, so she married a wealthy businessman named Xing and gave birth to a daughter for him; Qin Xianglin Married a wife who was not very beautiful, changed her previous image of being playful, moved to the United States with his wife, and became a well-known landlord; Qin Han is still active in the entertainment industry, although he is old but Still very handsome.This kind of ending can be considered astonishing, exclaiming that they guessed the beginning but not the ending.

This relationship sounds like a novel written by Qiong Yao, and these three handsome men and beauties who are used to acting in Qiong Yao's novels clearly acted out the plot of this novel into reality.Although the dog's blood was a little bit of a dog's blood, there was a lot of trouble back then, which stimulated the sales of many gossip tabloids.

Xu Guanwu felt that this was a good ending for the three of them.

When you are young, be impulsive and talk about love.But once you're over 30, you should grow up and mature.It's no use talking about empty love.Lin Qingxia gave up waiting for Qin Han, and married the gentle and wealthy rich man surnamed Xing, which proved that she had really matured.

And there are still many female stars who haven't matured at all. They move here and have the opportunity to become famous, but they only want to date and fall in love.Poor!
……

In addition to the good performance of the movie, the albums released by YESUNG Records in the first half of the year also sold well.Because there are convenience stores all over Hong Kong and Kowloon, Yisheng Records also has its own sales channel.This is very good news for record companies.

The records of YESUNG Records can be placed in the most prominent position of the convenience store, which is convenient for customers to choose to listen to and buy.On the contrary, records from other record companies may not be able to receive this treatment.Moreover, Bianyide convenience store can also put up posters, and can also play new songs that have just been released in a loop to promote the records of Yesung Records.

Based on the fact that Yide convenience store now has 20 daily traffic, these records are equivalent to 20 listeners.This number is even greater than the number of radio listeners.The publicity effect is naturally excellent.

In addition, TVB specially created music programs such as Winner Weekly for YESUNG Records, which specifically introduce new songs from the newly released records, so that singers can go on the program to promote, and the natural effect is also very good.In comparison, it is difficult for singers from other record companies to enjoy this treatment.

The promotion effect of the TV station on singers is unparalleled. TVB was able to use the songs of the record company for free in those years without paying a penny of copyright fees, saving millions of Hong Kong dollars in total every year.But these record companies dare not turn against TVB, and even send singers to participate in TVB's programs with a playful smile, because TVB's ratings are the first in Hong Kong, and the promotional effect is unparalleled.

After the singer appeared on TV, the exposure increased greatly, and the sales of albums soared, even if it was a few million dollars, it was worth it.However, the free overlord meal like wireless is exhausted one day.When the Internet becomes the main channel for publicity in later generations, and when records no longer make money, TVB's consistent behavior of playing songs for free has become a bad habit that record companies cannot tolerate.In the end, the four major record companies joined forces to put pressure on TVB, and finally forced TVB to make concessions and paid the four major record companies all their expenses.

The four major record companies forced TVB to make concessions, which was based on the fact that TVB's momentum was declining, while the Internet's momentum was growing.But now TVB is still the number one company in Hong Kong, and the Internet is still far away.If citizens want to know the latest record information, first, they should pay attention to the latest posters of record stores, second, they should pay attention to the promotion of newspapers and magazines, third, they should pay attention to radio music broadcasts, and fourth, they should pay attention to TV stations’ music broadcasts.

And the Xu Group now has its own record store (a guest appearance in a convenience store), the best-selling newspaper, a magazine with an excellent reputation, and a TV station with the highest ratings.The four major publicity channels already accounted for three, and the record will not sell well if it wants to.It is too difficult for other record companies in Hong Kong to have such a strong promotional strength as Yesung Records.And even if this kind of publicity effect is achieved, the publicity cost paid is very high.

In the first half of the year, YESUNG still adopted the method of old people leading newcomers, launching two singers and a band one after another.These two singers and a band are both creative singers. They may not be as handsome and star-like as Xu Guanjie, Zhang Guorong, and Winner Band, but they have specialties in creation.
