Chapter 163 Die Hard to Release Big Movies with Incredible Profits(2/3)

of.

But Zhao Donghuai told him to quit.

Zhao's Pictures, including all regular film companies in Hong Kong, all follow Zhao Donghuai's rules. Insiders who engage in drug abuse will be banned. Anyone who dares to recommend some marijuana or other bad things to insiders will be banned.

, then it’s not a matter of blocking or not.

The fate of those people will be much more tragic than the many temporary "dragon and tiger martial arts masters" and "acting teachers" of Zhao Films.

After a pause, Zhao Donghuai said again, "(Die Hard) will be released tomorrow, how are the announcement arrangements going?"

The filming of Die Hard has already been completed, and we are just waiting for the summer release, and the promotion of (Die Hard)? In fact, Hong Kong Haowan is the basic promotion, we will not do anything more, and we do not expect Die Hard to be successful

It was a big hit in Hong Kong like movies like "Hurricane Rescue".

The focus of this propaganda is North America!

Anyway, Bruce Willis was originally filming in North America (Forrest Gump), and his role was not light. He was allowed to appear on a few more TV shows and newspaper interviews, etc., and was promoted by Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau, and Lin Zhengying in the North American media.

Just one wave will do.

He is a foreigner starring in an action movie. He is a mediocre person in Hong Kong and has no hope of standing out among the heroes competing for hegemony. It is purely because of his status as a white action star that he can gain many natural bonuses in Europe and the United States.

Qiu Shuzhen was happy, "Not only the regular promotions have been launched in North America, but also the unconventional Huang Weiming. I am waiting for the release to promote Bruce Willis. His performance is very good and great, but it is a pity that he is not a woman."

Where are the action stars..."

Pushing the conventional and the unconventional together is indeed a bit confusing.

The original version (Die Hard) has a North American box office of more than 83 million U.S. dollars. At this stage, it is expected to surpass the original record.

Just like when Huang Weiming boasted that "Back to the Future" was very good, but the female protagonist had too few roles, and it was a pity that there were no black brothers... The more powerful he praised it, the more it made the white male audience feel bored and buy tickets.

Go to the cinema and watch the show to support (Back to the Future).

Zhao Donghuai also smiled and said, "That's OK."

……………………

On the 14th, the crew of (Forrest Gump) filmed the scene. Today we will shoot an indoor scene where Forrest Gump and his disabled comrade, important supporting actor Bruce Willis, recruit a girl.

After the process of positioning, lighting, and camera focusing, etc., during the rehearsal without turning on the camera, Bruce Willis performed twice in a row because of his poor condition, so the rehearsal was interrupted.

The little TV star apologized to everyone around him, but the great director Robert Zemeckis came over with a smile and said, "Bruce, do you want to give you two days off? The action movie you starred in was released on AMC today. It costs 1,200 yuan."

screen.”

"No one can calm down and get into a good state easily."

After all, this is about whether a small TV star, a newbie, can really succeed in breaking into the big screen, or whether it will be a big action movie...

As the most important party involved, it is understandable that my mentality is unstable.

Anyway, Director Robert, Producer Steve, Assistant Director Aaron, and all the actors have been lucky enough to join the investment and foreign exchange express of Hong Kong Zhao Financial in April and May.

.

You can make a fortune in the foreign exchange market!

!

For the entire Forrest Gump crew, the shooting atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious, friendly, and united. Of course, there were many ordinary behind-the-scenes and ordinary actors who did not get on board.

But with the precedent of the seniors who got on the bus one by one, they also tried their best to perform well and wanted to get on the bus.

People who get on the bus can calculate their investment almost every day, whether they have made money and how much they have made. It is really exciting to see their wealth growing day by day.

Assistant director Aaron smiled and said, "Yes, Bruce, we have been filming for more than two months, and the big boss didn't rush us. He just asked us to make the film as high-quality as possible. So if we don't film your scene yet, it will be fine if we wait for two days."

.”

With Bruce on vacation, they could shoot other scenes without Bruce Willis. It was like they had finished shooting the scenes with the heroine Yin Sabel Adjani in advance, and the actress had already finished filming and returned to Hong Kong Island.

None of this is a big deal.

Bruce was still very excited, but he still smiled and apologized, "Director, give me another five minutes to calm down. It's okay. I can finish the filming!"

It took him eight years as a bit player to make his mark, and (Die Hard) has already been filmed long ago. The finished movie has already been produced and is just waiting for the summer release.

Considering Zhao's Pictures' reputation in the action field, there is no reason why it would be so popular... He must stabilize his emotional state and take his time.

A few minutes later, rehearsals resumed, and Bruce finally regained his composure and stopped getting carried away.

However, after one day of filming, the former TV star couldn't wait to go to the nearby AMC cinema to watch the movie. After all, (Die Hard) was wrapped at the end of March, and post-production had just begun, and he joined (Forrest Gump).

Ready for war.

Then I came to North America to film in early April and have been filming until now.

He himself has never seen the finished film.

Watching a movie from the beginning, even though it was performed by him, Bruce was still a little shocked. As for the fans in the theater who were attracted for various reasons? They were also shocked by the police-robber war on the big screen.

Exclaimed again and again.

Although the original Die Hard has a lot of gunplay and explosions, the action combat is actually similar to Hollywood's turn-based system. You punch me and I kick you. This movie was shot by Zhao Films.

Compared with the original version, gun battles or various big explosions and thrilling actions have been optimized a bit, and the fighting aspect has been optimized even more.

The action scenes between the team of villains and the protagonist Bruce are directly at the high-quality level of Hong Kong action scenes. This is why the audience and movie fans cannot help but exclaim and be shocked.

In the past, they could only see super high-quality action sequences from Chinese action movies, but suddenly a few white guys and villains came and did the same thing, and it was a shame...

The helicopter rescue and chase scene, including the big scene where the gangsters blew up the roof of the skyscraper and the helicopter was sunk in the big explosion, caused a sensation, which also made countless audiences excited and excited, and gave them goosebumps.

By the time the screening ended, the theater was filled with applause, cheers, and shouts of "cool" and "so cool". Bruce's excited state of mind was completely stabilized.

However, he still did not go back to rest. Instead, he stayed in the theater and bought movie tickets for all the screenings at night. He came in every movie, sometimes to relive it, but mostly to see the attendance and the audience's reaction.

.

A new day comes, June 15th.

Bruce ran to the set holding a pile of newspapers.

When he arrived, Zunlong smiled and walked up to him and hugged him, "Bruce, you are going to be popular. Die Hard's box office on the first day was 4 million U.S. dollars, 4 million dollars, 4.03 million dollars to be precise."

!”

"And in terms of movie reviews, there are constant praise everywhere, and the reputation of this movie is also great!"

Bruce smirked, it was US$4 million for the whole day on Saturday, and it might go up a bit on Sunday. As long as the reputation does not collapse, the box office for that week is expected to be more than US$10 million.

If it can earn more than 20 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend plus the following weekend, the entire film will earn 50 to 60 million U.S. dollars in the summer release. There is great hope. Once the total figure reaches 50 to 60 million dollars, will it really be true?

?

Fire!

It can become his masterpiece when he enters the film industry.

He smiled silly and was polite to Zunlong for a while. When he picked up a newspaper to read the movie reviews, he decisively found Huang Weiming's movie review on the front page, "Die Hard is undoubtedly a representative work of Hollywood police and gangster shootout movies."

.”

"This is an action movie with an extremely hot plot. There are endless explosions, gun battles, and fighting scenes. In addition to the superb and excellent grasp of these intense scenes, the details of the entire movie are also meticulous, watertight, and yet lively and interesting."

"It is foreseeable that with the large-scale continuous release of Die Hard, former TV star Bruce Willis will also become one of the tough guys in Hollywood, chasing the glory of big stars such as Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

.”

"Unfortunately, although this movie is a classic, it is still a bit unfair to our female compatriots. In the Hong Kong film industry, in addition to action superstars such as Cheng Long, Lam Ching-ying, and Andy Lau, female action superstars also have Wu Huizhong, Li Saifeng, Yang Ziqiong, etc. as role models.

…”

"When will the many female stars in Hollywood stand up and share the world with male action stars?"

As he watched, Bruce couldn't stop smiling at the previous reports and film reviews, but the change in style later made Bruce turn green.

What the hell are you, what the hell am I...this man named Huang is so shameless.

In a movie like (Die Hard), you can also find such an angle to speak out for women and many female stars?? It’s simply shameless!

But he didn't dare to say anything nonsense. The mid-to-late 1980s was the peak period of the second wave of feminist thought and wave movement in North America.

After rubbing his forehead and putting away the newspaper, Bruce started another day of filming (Forrest Gump).

Until the early morning of the 16th, when he just walked out of the hotel door, he saw Jennifer, the actress who played Forrest Gump's mother, and the black actor Battle walking over excitedly, "Bruce, brother, you are really going to be popular!"

"

"It was US$4 million on its first day on Saturday. How much did Die Hard win at the box office yesterday? US$7.35 million! Oh my God, I can't believe it. The box office on Sunday was almost double that of Saturday...

…”

Bruce's face changed with excitement, he couldn't believe such good news.

Jennifer was also pleasantly surprised, "At the beginning of the summer season, the biggest blockbuster is Paramount's Top Gun, which has grossed more than 100 million U.S. dollars in the box office within one month of its release. Last week, Top Gun still took in more than 20 million U.S. dollars.

knife."

"Last week's runner-up of the week was Juno, with a box office of more than $19 million."

"But your Die Hard, with more than 11 million knives in its first weekend, is already ranked third in the weekly box office!"
