Chapter 163 Die Hard to Release Big Movies with Incredible Profits(1/3)
At the end of the day's filming, when Zhao Donghuai returned to the Financial Center Building, he saw Huang Baiming waiting in the reception area on the 32nd floor.
Seeing him, Lao Huang quickly ran over to say hello.
The two parties sat down in the office, and Huang Baiming smiled and took out a document bag from his briefcase, "Sheng Zhao, this is the new film project I planned."
"If the Happy Ghost series is not restarted, it will be difficult to continue filming. It is estimated that several of your tycoons will not be interested in making that kind of movie again, so I planned a new project."
Huang Baiming had to lament that in just a few years, he had never seen such an exaggerated change in his entire life.
When Happy Ghost 1 was filmed in 1984, Hu Huizhong, Guan Jiahui, He Qing, and Lan Jieying were still making their mark, and they were still building signs for the first generation of artistic girl groups.
Even when filming Happy Ghost 2, Zhou Huimin was added, and the important perspective was already focused on Amin, the new popular singer. Why, the singing careers of Guan Jiahui and other girls are also in the take-off period, and they are only popular singers.
But what now? Kwan Ka-wai is a well-known rent collector in Hong Kong. She only has hundreds of real estate properties under her name. The real estate properties have a market value of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. In addition, the most talented woman has become famous. She has written the first chapter of The Twilight Saga
This book has sold three to four million copies in Europe and the United States.
Amin, that is the chairman of the board of directors of Chinese Real Estate with a market value of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Now he can only describe those few tycoons of the Zhao family.
Even if Lao Huang is in Xinyi City, he can make a lot of small profits by selling paper advertisements. After saving for a few months, the profit will be more than making a blockbuster movie.
But the gap is really getting wider and wider.
In his emotion, Zhao Donghuai also grabbed the script and watched it, (Eight Star Announcement)!
After quickly flipping through the script, Director Zhao discovered that the general main line of this version of the script was the same as the script he originally compiled in 1987, the next year, which was about the love affair between the three brothers of the Fang family.
The eldest brother has a successful career, is mature and steady, and takes great care of his two younger brothers, which is obviously in line with Huang Baiming's own image. The second brother is a playboy, dealing with many girlfriends, and eventually the prodigal son turns around.
The third child is a simple and shy cartoonist who meets a lively girl and has a pure relationship.
Then the eldest brother also met his love due to an accident. When things were going well, he was misunderstood in order to help the second brother cover up his romantic debt. Later, everyone helped the eldest brother regain his love.
A very hilarious comedy love movie.
After reading it, Zhao Donghuai asked curiously, "Who are you planning to find among the protagonists?"
If it wasn't a matter of finding actors, with the current capabilities of New Art City and Huang Baiming, they could be able to recruit them at any time and start filming, right?
Huang Baiming perked up, "I plan to play the role of the boss of the Fang family myself, and the second child. I like Xingzi better. I found that he showed a more personal style of comedy in Super Body and A Chinese Ghost Story 3."
With basic skills, the second child also needs to be funny..."
"If his unique comedy skills are amplified, he should be very representative. How about the third child looking for Zhang Xueyou?"
Zhao Donghuai said in surprise, "You have good taste. Xingzai's unique acting style and sense of humor are really eye-catching."
In fact, as early as early April, Wu Dabai Ge wanted to film "A Better Tomorrow". Although the gunfight action routine in the script was very different from the original "A Better Tomorrow", the actors he wanted to hire were also very different.
Wu Baige has thought about asking Zhou Xingxing and Zhang Xueyou to play Song Zijie. Of course, Lao Wu most wants to find Zhang Guorong or Liu Dehua to play Song Zijie, Ah Rong and Hua Zaihong!

He is very popular in both film and music circles.
Zhao Donghuai let Lao Wu play freely, and finally (The True Colors of a Hero) was launched in mid-April. The big brother who wants to wash his hands in a golden basin is played by Wan Ziliang. Compared with the original version of Ti Lung, Wan Ziliang plays the big brother, and his acting skills and temperament are not the same.
It will be different.
Song Zijie finally chose the original version of Zhang Guorong. Wu Yusen didn't have that face, but Xu Ke did. A Hero's Character was a project of Xu Ke Film Company. He and Ah Rong had filmed two Chinese Ghost Stories and had a good relationship. Xu Ke knew about Zhang Guorong and Zun Long.
Competition (Forrest Gump) after the protagonist fails.
I strongly encouraged Ah Rong to play Song Zijie. Ah Rong joined the cast to give Director Xu Da some face.
With Zhang Guorong's current record of several English singles and albums selling tens of millions of copies in total, Zhang Guorong's popularity has bombarded the world. He left, and Zhou Runfa rushed to play the role of Ma Ge.
.
Even in that book, Xiao Ma was an ordinary supporting role and didn't have much role in the script.
Therefore, in "A Better Tomorrow", which has been filmed for more than two months, the plot characters are all just Wan Ziliang replacing Ti Lung.
Now both Zhou Xingxing and Zhang Xueyou have their schedules and are vacant.
Xing Zai is still struggling with that comedy state. After all, Zhao Donghuai said that the better he performs in the future, he will start another comedy series with Xing Zai as the absolute protagonist.
It has been three years since 1983, and after being tempered by Super Body and A Chinese Girl 3, Xing Zai also earns salary and sales income, and has invested in the foreign exchange market to make money since January 1st.
This star boy has been working hard for three years, and Zhao Donghuai is planning to open a movie like "Play Back to School" or "The Gambler" at some point to let him try the waters.
Just like what was shown in a simulator when he first traveled through time, he had been running a business from 1983 to 1986 and made tens of millions. He returned to Hong Kong and organized the game of Star Boy.
, rush to the street.
Half a year later, Xing Zai once again teamed up to film Tricky Expert, and the box office was just okay.
Six months later, Xing Zai teamed up to film Truant Dragon, which was a box office hit and became popular.
In a certain simulator, Xingzi was specially caught and exploited to test his potential. He would be able to achieve results within a year or two. After all, he is really talented.
Now that Lao Huang is going to do "Eight Stars Announcement", the sissy playboy played by Ah Fa will be replaced by Xing Zai?? It's not impossible. In the future "Happy Events at Home", Xing Zai will also play the playboy...
And the current script (Eight Star Announcement) does not indicate that the character of the second child is a sissy playboy.
After thinking about it, Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Okay, you three will be the male protagonists. Where is the female protagonist?"
Huang Baiming was overjoyed, "As the actresses I will play with, I would like to invite Feng Baobao and some of Xingzai's girlfriends. I would like to invite Lan Jieying, Zhang Manyu or Hong Gu to act or guest star."
"The last one has a very pure love scene with Zhang Xueyou. Our New Art City signed a girl named Luo Meiwei this year. I think she can do it."
The original version of "The Good News" grossed more than 37 million at the box office. It was started in 1987 and will be produced in the fall of next year. It will be released during the Lunar New Year period after the Spring Festival next year and won the annual box office championship.
All I can say is that Lao Huang still has some talent!
Zhao Donghuai, "..."
It doesn't matter if he plays opposite Huang Baiming or Xing Zai, but Zhang Xueyou plays Luo Meiwei? That's a really good guy.
………………
A few days later, (My Sassy Girl) continued to bombard the whole of Hong Kong, and even started to be released in Wanwan, island countries, South Korea and other places, starting a new round of savage storm.
Just as Zhao Donghuai was about to go out to start a new day of filming for the crew, he received a call reporting that "Cat and Mouse Game" co-directed by Xu Ke, Wang Jing, and Du Qifeng had finished filming, and the crew had already started booking flights to return to Hong Kong.
This news? This news is normal. For the original cat-and-mouse game filmed in Hollywood, aside from the preparation period and the behind-the-scenes production after completion, the actual shooting period was just over two months.
As we all know, Hong Kong movies are generally shot much faster than Hollywood blockbusters.
From early April to mid-June now, it’s time to finish filming.
"After Fatty King and the others come back, we will do the post-production. If it's quick, it will be done in late June, if it's slow, it will be done before July... That will be the official start of the summer season."
A plot, crime, biographical movie like Cat and Mouse is worth looking forward to at the box office, and is even more popular than (Juno) in Asia!
The original film had a box office of US$350 million. Now that it has been adapted into a female version, we can no longer expect it, but as long as it can earn more than US$100 million at the global box office, it will be a huge profit.
After all, planning (cat-and-mouse game) is just a part of the recruitment process for the Hong Kong film industry, mainly European and American white beauties.
After hanging up the phone, Director Zhao was about to go out when he saw Qiu Shuzhen walking over with a piece of soup, "Boss, Sister Min will make you a fire-reducing soup..."
Zhao Donghuai asked unexpectedly, "Where are the Amin people?"
Qiu Shuzhen smiled like a little fox, "It's in her room, but she locked the door, so she's afraid of you."
Zhao Donghuai was speechless. Is he such a terrible person? Obviously not.
After he took a sip of the soup, Qiu Shuzhen said again, "Wow, now our company's star-attracting effect is becoming more and more obvious. According to statistics from the following people, from May to now, it is only June 13th.
There are at least 70,000 to 80,000 more Europeans, Americans, and Latins..."
"Most of them are handsome men and beautiful women."
"Many people are squatting around the Asia Theater Building in Broadcasting Road, waiting for teachers to come and recommend themselves."
"There are quite a few people from ordinary middle-class backgrounds who are still traveling and waiting for admission to Asia Opera, but there are also many who are doing odd jobs while waiting for opportunities."
"This is obviously the craze sparked by Nicole Kidman after she was nominated for Best Actress at Cannes. She only joined the Asian Theater Academy for less than a year, and she was able to play the leading role in a big drama, and she was still able to win the Cannes Film Festival award.
The crew?”
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "This is a good thing, a great thing!"
Of course there was no shortage of European and American life in Hong Kong Island in the past, but how could it attract 70,000 to 80,000 handsome European and American Latin men and women in just over a month?
Isn't this one of his motives for promoting Monica Bellucci, Laura Fernandez, Insabel Adjani, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and others one by one?
?
How many examples are there of many beautiful white women becoming popular outside of Hollywood, one after another?
How much money does this cost to buy horse bones?
Thinking of this, he asked, "Have these students been harmed by bad guys in the society?"
Handsome men and beautiful women have always been a part of the Hong Kong community, no, they are a resource that societies all over the world like to harm. Hollywood is not clean, otherwise there would be no place in the valley next door.
Qiu Shuzhen nodded, "More than 80% of them will be fine, but there are also some who are addicted to powder, smoke marijuana, etc., and take the initiative to contact clubs to find those..."
Director Zhao was speechless and continued, "Get rid of those with messy addictions. If anyone is dishonest, let the bad guys in the club entertain them."
In fact, the outside world is quite chaotic. Even when he rose to prominence in Hong Kong, it was not that he had not encountered some addicts in the industry. Last year, when the Asian Theater Academy enrolled in the first batch of students, one of the freshmen, Johnny Depp, was an addict.
To be continued...
