After Xia Tian was discharged from the hospital and continued filming, rumors outside suddenly decreased a lot.

And the blessing of this incident, for a time, the exposure of summer increased greatly, and also made the "Eight Stars Revelation" popular.

On February 2, "Eight Stars News" was officially released. On the first day of its release, the box office reached HK$3 million, setting a new first-day box office record.

This movie has a good name and a good intention! What Chinese people pay attention to during the Chinese New Year is family reunion, happiness and auspiciousness!

"Eight Stars' Good News", such a good name makes people feel happy at first sight, so you will get a good start!

Moreover, this drama is a gathering of stars. "Nine Uncle" Lin Zhengying, "Little Ma Brother" Zhou Runfa, "Boy of Saving Money" Xia Tian, ​​"Famous Boy in Japan" Zhao Yazhi, "Women's Light" Hu Huizhong, "Oriental Monroe" Chung Chuhong, "Youth Jade Girl" Wang Fengxian... The cast can be called first-class, and it is worth spending money to buy tickets just to see these stars.

Not to mention that the story of "Eight Stars" is also humorous, funny, happy and fulfilling, so it can be said that this is a satisfactory work from the inside out, and the box office will naturally not be low.

Year-on-year, the box office of "Flying Dragons" on the first day was only more than 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Although this result is already very good, it is worth throwing away the goods, which is still a bit worse than "Eight Stars News".

The movie "Flying Dragons and Raptors" inherits the usual style of the Hong Jingbao brothers, with hot action, grand scenes and funny plots.

Similar to "Eight Stars' Good News", this movie also adds a large number of plots to pick up girls. Hong Jingbao and his aunt Ye Dexian, Cheng Long and the beautiful Liu Jialing, and Yuan Biao are talking nonsense and continues to play alone in the movie.

Overall, this drama is also a very good action comedy, with very box office potential.

The worst is "Value Parking" from New Art City. The box office on the first day was only 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was pitiful, setting a record for the lowest box office of the Spring Festival New Year holiday since the founding of the Golden Princess Cinema.

This drama is produced by Yongjia Film Company, owned by Princess Jin, directed by director Mai Lingzhi, starring Lee Xiuxian, Hu Yinmeng, Yang Qun and Huang Bowen. Just looking at the cast is more than one level away.

In addition, the story is also a mess. After the midnight show, the bad reviews were everywhere, so the box office and reputation were lost. Unfortunately, the Taiwanese beauty Hu Yinmeng also contributed the only bed scene in her acting career in the film.

...

After the official release of "Eight Stars" has continued to be popular, and it exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars in four days. Judging from this momentum, it is no problem to break through 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Moreover, the audience also had a very high evaluation, thinking that the plot was humorous and funny, popular but not vulgar, and the whole family would not feel embarrassed to watch it together.

In comparison, "The Dragon" is a bit violent; "Value Parking" has a bed scene that is not suitable for children, which makes people have to retreat.

"Eight Stars" has sold well at the box office, making a good start for the new year in summer!

The new year is a good start, come together with the happy events!

The World Concert has also received unanimous praise since its official opening.

Hong Kong musicians praised it as the "cradle of Hong Kong original music" and believed that it provided a rare performance stage for Hong Kong musicians. This move in summer is truly a merit!!

The men and women of Lan Kwai Fong also favor this concert, becoming the place they most yearn for. Every night, a large group of people line up here, waiting to enter the venue.

Several Hong Kong travel magazines recommend this store as a place that you must go to. The reason is that you can enjoy the most Hong Kong-style music in this store.

The media, the peers, and the audience, the business of the World Concert Hall will naturally not be broken. Since its official opening, the number of people in line is over 100 meters long, making it one of the most lively places in Lan Kwai Fong. Money is like flowing water, making money, making summer's financial statements extremely happy.

In addition to the prosperous business of the World Concert Hall, the filming of the new summer drama "Dao Madan" was also very smooth.

Xu Ke is actually a very difficult director who is very unfamiliar with a character, likes to talk about it, and is famously difficult to cooperate. It is precisely because of his personality that even his good brother Wu Yusen can't stand it and wants to turn against him; Hu Jinquan's collaboration with him in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was completely overshadowed by him. Director Hu was so angry that he scolded his brother Director Li Hanxiang for "not working with Xu Ke even if he starved to death."

However, Xia Tian knew his ability and admired him very much, so he followed his arrangements and had no place to compete with him. Chung Chuhong, Lin Qingxia, Ye Tong and others naturally would not contradict him, so everyone got along happily and there was no quarrel or quarrel.

Xu Ke is also very satisfied with Xia Tian's cooperation with his work so much.

The reason why he didn't want to join Tianxia Pictures was that in addition to the moral burden, he was actually most afraid of being that Xia Tian would control himself. At that time, if he was not free to film, he would rather not shoot.

But now it seems that joining Tianxia Pictures is not as bad as you imagined!

...

"Dao Ma Dan" crew.

"Mr. Xia, I want to ask the American special effects team to produce special effects for the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story". What do you think?" Xu Ke walked up to Xia Tian and asked during the filming break.

Xia Tian is thinking about the script and considering how to perform later.

This time he worked with him include Lin Qingxia, the future Golden Horse Award winner; Liang Jiahui, the best actress in the Golden Horse Award winner; Ye Tong, the best actress in the Golden Horse Award winner; Chung Chuhong, the best actress in the Golden Horse Award winner; Zeng Qian, the old actor, Wu Ma, the old actor, Gu Feng, the old actor... If he works with such a group of actors with outstanding acting skills, if Xia Tian doesn't work hard, he will have to be compared, so he must work harder.

At this time, when he heard Xu Ke say this, Xia Tian quickly put down the script, "Do you want to invite the American special effects team to create the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"

"Yes." Xu Ke nodded, "I read the script you wrote, and there are many places where special effects are needed. Like grandma's tongue, Yan Chixia's Taoist techniques, Black Mountain Old Demon's evil magic... These special effects techniques rely on Hong Kong's special effects techniques, it is probably difficult to perfectly express them. So I want to ask the American special effects team to do it. What do you think?"

Xia Tian blinked his eyes and remembered that the first movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" was completely "Making Steel by Gemma". The long tongue was actually a sponge, but the effect it made was amazed by even American filmmakers.

When Xia Tian was studying at Beijing Film Academy, his tutor told this gossip. He also compared the "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" directed by Xu Ke.

(That drama invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars, please make special effects for the American special effects team, but the box office was only more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Moreover, the special effects in the film were also badly praised, and the box office lost both reputation.)

The purpose is to warn Xia Tian and others not to blindly worship high technology. Whether the special effects are good depends on whether they can match the movie. If you blindly admire special effects and ignore the story of the movie itself, then no matter how gorgeous the special effects are, this movie is still a failed movie.

Xia Tian knew that Xu was a technical controller and admired advanced special effects technology very much. In 1982, he invited the American team who made special effects for "Star Wars" to Hong Kong; in 2009, he remakes "Shushan" and he invited four American special effects teams to produce special effects; after entering the new century, Xu Ke first got involved in the shooting of 3D movies...

But he had a problem with filming, which was that he admired the special effects technology too much and ignored the movie itself. Therefore, if his movies have good special effects, the story will be messed up and the box office will be defeated.

The first movie "The Legend of Shushan" invested more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office was only 1.58 million Hong Kong dollars. You should know that the starring actor Hong Jingbao and Yuan Biao were both top-notch action actors in Hong Kong at that time, and the box office was always very high. Hong Kong dollars of 1.58 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a loss.

The second film "The Legend of Shushan" invested 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office was only more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The film brought together the most promising young actors in Hong Kong at that time, including Koo Tianfeng, Zheng Yijian, Zhang Bozhi, Lin Xilei, Zhang Ziyi, etc.

In addition, although the special effects are gorgeous and the box office is good, the reputation has plummeted.

Xia Tian invested in this "A Chinese Ghost Story", but in order to make Wang Qixian famous, Xu Ke couldn't make a fuss and take the opportunity to satisfy his technical addiction. So he shook his head, "Director Xu, I don't think this proposal is good."

"Why?" Xu Ke was stunned. He thought Xia Tian was easy to talk to.

"Our Chinese Ghost Story is an authentic Chinese story, with scholars and female ghosts, Taoists and monsters... If you create an American special effects team to do special effects, can they understand our Chinese culture? If a female ghost is photographed as a banshee and a monster is filmed as a devil, then it will be a big deal?" Xia Tian waved his hand.

"I can supervise them." Xu Ke was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said again.

He was also deeply touched by Xia Tian's words. Last time he invited the American special effects team to film "The Legend of Shushan", they turned the most famous Ziqing Sword in "The Legend of Shushan Sword" into the Jedi laser sword, which even had the same sound effect, so it was too terrible.

Xia Tian smiled. It’s not later generations. There are hundreds or thousands of movie special effects companies in later generations, and even the most famous special effects companies cannot escape the fate of bankruptcy. For example, the digital fields that produce special effects for "Titanic" and "The Day Afternoon", R, which makes special effects for "Pi's Fantasy Drift"
