The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 588

In fact, Xu Guanwu thinks that "Love in a Fallen City" can become popular not only because of its strong publicity, but also because of its novel theme.The movies released in Hong Kong in the past two years are all comedies, gunfight movies, action movies, etc., and occasionally some romance movies are not too healthy like "XX Passionate".

And there are too few high-quality, connotative romance films like "Love in a Fallen City".The so-called rarity is the most precious, no wonder "Love in a Fallen City" has achieved such a box office.Just like the most popular martial arts action movie in the 90s, no one thought that "New Love" would get the third place in the box office of the year.

The final box office of "Love in a Fallen City" stopped at 900 million. Nearly half of the people in Hong Kong went to the theater to watch this film. This kind of attendance can be called terrifying. The overseas copyright of "Love in a Fallen City" was also sold for a sky-high price, and Nanyang's selling price of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars hit a new high.

Zhou Runfa didn't need to play Little Ma and Lin Qingxia didn't need to play Dongfang Bubai, and the two miraculously became popular in Hong Kong.It's just that after becoming popular, Zhou Runfa can still act out the decadence and injustice of Brother Ma, then no one knows, not even Xu Guanwu.

After "Love in a Fallen City", there was a wave of enthusiasm for Zhang Ailing in Hong Kong, and film and television companies also wanted to remake Ms. Zhang Ailing's works, but it is a pity that Xu Guanwu took the lead and bought out the film and television adaptation rights of her novels.The Hong Kong film company, which had nowhere to ask for help, found Yi Shu and Li Bihua, who were also popular female writers, and it seemed to be a trend to adapt romance films for a while.In the six months after "Love in a Fallen City" was released, more than 20 romance films were released in Hong Kong, but the box office was relatively poor.

Such a result can't help but make many people dumbfounded. If romance films are destined to not have high box office, "Love in a Fallen City" has a box office of 900 million. It is currently the number one literary film in Hong Kong and the number one movie in Hong Kong .If the current market for romance films is bullish, why have so many romance films released successively encountered Waterloo?

Many true and false experts analyzed it and finally came to the conclusion that the actors were not well selected.If Zhou Runfa or Lin Qingxia were to act, the box office would definitely be high.After "Love in a Fallen City", Zhou Runfa became the most popular niche in Hong Kong, and his film salary jumped from only 100 Hong Kong dollars before to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.It is rumored that the Nanyang film dealers said that as long as any film is released by Zhou Yun, the selling price will be [-] million higher.This salary is twice as high as that of Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and others, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being secretly surprised.

But there is no reason not to make money if you have money, and Zhou Runfa was released afterward.One film cost 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the company took on three films for him, all of which were literary romance films.Of course, Xu did not intend to squeeze out Zhou Runfa's talent. Each film contract is decided after being optimistic. Two of these three films are the works of Mrs. Yi Shu, "Xibao" and "The Story of Roses" .The other is Li Bihua's masterpiece, Tsing Yi.

After the company received the film contracts, they did not make their own decisions, but invited Fazi to choose these film contracts together.For those companies that just want to spend money to invite their sons, but don't even have a formal script or even a basic idea, they are directly rejected.In the end, after discussion, everyone decided to choose these three films to shoot. Mrs. Yi Shu and Li Bihua are also well-known writers, and their works are still very popular in Hong Kong.In addition, the script is also satisfactory, not the kind of nonsense.

Zhou Runfa himself is very satisfied with these three scripts. Although they are all romance films, his images in the films are very different.In the first "Xibao", he played the role of a rich man who likes Xibao, but the tragedy is that Xibao is his father's taboo.The son of the rich family wanted to take Xibao far away several times, but he was reluctant to part with the current affluent life, so his life fell into a decadent situation.

In the second "Story of Roses", he played the role of a man who abandons his girlfriend in order to get rich. selected.

In the third "Tsing Yi", Zhou Runfa plays the son of a wealthy businessman in Shanghai. He likes Tsing Yi the head of the Yongqing team the most. After entering Shanghi, Zhou Runfa was forced to go to Hong Kong with his family.In order to wait for Tsing Yi, Zhou Run vowed not to marry for life, until one day he was walking on the street and heard that familiar singing...

Zhou Runfa has connected three movies, and the second half of the year is enough for him to be busy.

The film company originally planned to invite Lin Qingxia, but Xu Guanwu rejected everything.He still wanted Lin Qingxia to spend more time with him, so how could he have the heart to let her go outside to film, besides, the Xu family never lacked that kind of money.Although Lin Qingxia really wanted to go out to film, but since her husband refused to let him go, she had no choice but to restrain her mind and stay at home with her husband.

Seeing that Lin Qingxia could not be invited by the film company, they had to invite other girls to play the role. I don't know who suggested that there is a popular actress in Taiwan named Hu Huizhong, whose appearance is 150% similar to Lin Qingxia, and also a youth Jade girl, very popular.Since Lin Qingxia refused to go out of the mountain, she would invite Ms. Hu Huizhong to do the same.So soon it was reported that Ms. Hu accepted the filming of a new film at a price of NT$20 million, less than HK$[-].

From Lin Qingxia to Zhang Aijia to Hu Huizhong, Hong Kong film companies seem to have dug up a treasure trove of beauties on the other side of the strait, and a large number of people were immediately overjoyed.There are not many beautiful local women in Hong Kong. This can be seen from TVB's uglier actresses after the new century. Many old-timers have ruthlessly dumped them.Ugly in appearance and poor in acting, he only steals the limelight, stirs up gossip, and steals the page by stealing the show.No wonder TVB still invites veterans to come back to be the pillars.

In the 90s and 600s, there were indeed a group of stunning Hong Kong actresses, but they were basically immigrated from the Mainland in the early years.There are very few beautiful girls in Hong Kong who are truly native. After all, Hong Kong only has a population of five or six million. According to the average of one stunning beauty in 1 people, Hong Kong can only select five or six hundred at most, and there are at least one of them. Most of them didn't enter the showbiz.

In comparison, Taiwan's population is as high as 2000 million. According to the ratio of one stunning beauty out of 1, there are at least 1 stunning beauties.Not to mention the mainland, if one person is selected out of [-] people, there must be [-] people.

There are few local beauties in Hong Kong, but there are many beauties in Taiwan.In addition, Taiwanese movies are now approaching a trough, but Hong Kong movies have been developing rapidly in recent years, so the movie companies in Hong Kong are waving their money, and a large number of beauties from Taiwan suddenly come to seek gold.

……

Just when people are paying attention to the development of more and more Taiwanese beauties in the Hong Kong film industry, both Miss Oriental and Miss Hong Kong have entered the final stage.I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the Miss Oriental pageant and the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant finals happened to be on the same day, so it was a head-on collision.

Although Jiayi TV Station has been repeatedly frustrated these days, the "Four Famous Catching Kanto", which was filmed with all the efforts of the whole station, lost to TVB's "Swordsman", and the momentum of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant is also faintly behind the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, but in the In the last final, Jiayi TV put on a big show, not only inviting celebrities to watch the final, but also specially investing huge sums of money to present awards. Enthusiastic viewers may even win a luxury car worth 50 Hong Kong dollars one car.

In comparison, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is not so extravagant, but the rules are still in accordance with the established plan. At that time, the champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be selected according to the number of votes in the finals and so on.Because Liang Shuyi felt that a beauty contest is a very noble activity, there is no reason to award such expensive prizes.That would make the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant too commercialized, and it would be detrimental to the overall image of Miss Hong Kong.

After hearing Liang Shuyi's explanation at the seven-member group meeting, they also felt that there was no need to blindly follow Jiayi TV to organize a lottery for enthusiastic audiences, so as not to be blurred by this lottery, and make people forget that the beauty pageant is for beauties, not for thinking about their own ability. No award.

Sure enough, on the second day after the beauty pageant, people only cared about who got the luxury car, but didn't pay much attention to the results of the Miss Dongfang beauty pageant.It can be said that Jiayi TV has shot itself in the foot this time.

As for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the audience rating on the day of the final was basically a ratio of six to four.After all, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been going on for many years, and there are also a group of loyal viewers who watch it, just like the annual Spring Festival Gala, if you don’t watch it, you will always pay attention.

Although the ratings of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant were not as good as the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the ratings did not drop too much.It was much more successful than the first Miss Oriental pageant, and of course it cost a lot more money.

Xu Guanwu didn't watch the two beauty pageants yesterday, mainly because there were no contestants he knew well.Moreover, due to the rapid development of Hong Kong movies in recent years, the industry of scouting has also been born in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.Pretty girls and handsome guys who often walk on the street will be approached by people and invited to audition for performing arts companies, which will give them many opportunities to enter the entertainment industry.This makes beauties who aspire to enter the entertainment circle no longer need to worry about the annual beauty pageant, and can enter the industry anytime as long as the conditions are good.

……

After this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant champion was born, on the stage that day, the former Miss Hong Kong champion Zheng Wenya helped the new Miss Hong Kong champion Dai Yuee to wear the laurel crown, presented the scepter, and presented the meeting of the Huiyan Yaji Charity Foundation. Give her the long seal.

Huiyan Yaji Charity Foundation has donated a total of more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars to the Hong Kong society since its establishment one year ago. It is the most well-known charitable foundation in Hong Kong today, of which more than [-] million assets are donated by the Xu Group, and the other Assets are raised by foundations.

Huiyan Yaji Assets Foundation is the most beautiful charitable organization in the world because its members are all beauty pageants.With so many beauties here, it naturally attracts a lot of attention.Even if rich people want to please beautiful women and show their love, they will donate to charitable foundations.

What's more, every time Huiyan Yaji Charity Foundation does a good deed, the newspapers, magazines, and TV stations under the Xu Group vigorously publicize it. Therefore, although Huiyan Yaji has only been established for one year, if it is about fame and people's hearts The image is already comparable to the old charitable organization Tung Wah Group of Hospitals.

After Dai Yuee received the seal of the president of the Huiyan Yaji Charity Foundation, she immediately expressed excitedly that she would donate the 50 Hong Kong dollars she had obtained to the foundation free of charge.Her selfless performance immediately won applause from the audience.The runner-up and third runner-up of Miss Hong Kong also successively expressed their donations, which immediately raised the style of this beauty pageant to a higher level.From a beauty pageant that was criticized by people, it immediately turned into a charity event.

In comparison, Jiayi Taiwan next door is still drawing a lottery at the moment, giving away prizes and luxury cars, which seems a bit insufficient.One side is donating money to charity organizations, while the other side is pocketing the money. With such a comparison, the audience will naturally have their own ideas.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Dai Yuee's first donation is just a formality, and TVB will definitely make up for them later.But after all, not everyone knows this joint, and everyone is very touched when they see people donate money.I just think that Miss Hong Kong is of high quality. You see, even the 50 prize money has been donated. What a noble sentiment.

In comparison, Jiashi's smiling oriental ladies holding huge check boards are a bit dazzling.
