Chapter 170 Beautiful man in ancient costume, the opening standard is too high!(2/3)
A female star's salary, market popularity, and awards have a lot to do with it, but box office, especially can it prove that a single female star can compete with box office? The latter is the most important salary booster.
Lin Qingxia followed this trend and was considered the first Asian actress to break into Hollywood.
Even though the appearance of Aunt Qingxia, who is in her 30s, is a bit androgynous and masculine, and is far less fresh and delicious than her 18 or 19-year-old counterparts, you can't pick her out as a buffoon with her looks, so it won't be a big problem to break into Europe and the United States.
Just like the original 1986 version of "Dao Ma Dan", she played a male role in it and was able to make many people look bloody!
In (Cat and Mouse Game), Lin Qingxia's role is not only substantial, but also has a good personality. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is one of the two protagonists. It is normal for her to become popular according to the trend.
………………
Hong Kong Island, Hong Qinbao, Qin Xianglin, and Feng Suifan walked out of the theater on the fourth floor of a Wanjia Supermarket wearing hats and masks. As they walked, Lao Hongdu sighed, "Awesome, Qingxia is going to become popular, and we will too
We have to keep up our efforts.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Cat and Mouse Game is really good-looking. Even when I first heard about this script, I knew it was an adaptation of the real experiences of real people, but I still didn't expect it.
The final film will be so exciting when played on the big screen!"
"This kind of life is simply not very pleasant!"
"I heard that the original prototype was a delinquent woman who was defrauded of money and sex decades ago... She was extremely shameless."
Feng Suifan was speechless, "Sanmao, what you said is so offensive. Why do you say that you are also a business and supermarket tycoon, and you are in a different class from us, so you still have to work hard?"
After saying that, seeing that Qin Xianglin's eyes didn't have any obvious meaning, he smiled and said, "How about we continue filming Five Lucky Stars? Bring Qingxia as a guest star?"
After Hong Qinbao and others finished filming the three Lucky Star series, they did not continue filming the fourth one. Lao Hong, the big brother, planned another Republic of China drama (Wealth Train), which can be regarded as an all-star cast. It was released in Zhao's Cinema at the beginning of this year
It's been shown.
The box office in this city was more than 29 million Hong Kong dollars, and the sales in other places were 28 million, making the same amount as the original (Mr. Phantom).
But, if you earn more, you can’t afford Hong Qinbao to invest more... Accompany Wanjia into Wanwan and the Mainland? Lao Hong is currently in deep debt.
His original plan for the film was to create a male protagonist who couldn't fight and was timid, or to plan a modern urban film with a ghost to subvert his previous personal screen image.
The script is almost planned and the name has been decided on (Thunderbolt Loudspeaker).
But after watching the popular one (Cat and Mouse Game), Lao Hong always felt that the original one (Thunderbolt Loudspeaker) was boring to him.
Screen images and other things have always been fixed into one type. Whether it needs to be subverted is one thing, making money is another thing!
The pressure of debt is so great, then it seems like a good idea to follow Qingxia to Hollywood, send her a film appointment, and get involved? Lao Hong also has to support his family. He is not just married like Lin Zhengying and Cheng Long.
Now they have three sons!
Even in this dimension, there is no Gao Lihong who worships him as his master. That Ah Hong was also very popular in the TVB thigh era. Mainly because of his mixed-race appearance, he was very popular among the ghost crowd.
But in fact... with Lao Hong's current status, there is really no shortage of young girls and newcomers who want to take advantage of the big boss's halo and rise.
Once you can't control it, it will be a big project that costs a lot of money.
Hong Yinbao nodded, "Working on the fourth part of Fuxing is a good project and can make money, but the book must be exciting enough and not ruin the series..."
At this moment, several young men passed by in front of them. One of them grabbed the newspaper and ran away, while the others shouted to stop quickly and show it to me. You have already read it once. Show it to me quickly...
This slapstick scene shocked Hong Qianbao and others. Qin Xianglin laughed and said, "What big news has come out in the Kowloon Daily News? Several people have to grab a copy of the newspaper?"
Hong Qinbao laughed, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the office. There must be newspapers there."
In this Wanjia branch, whether it is the professional manager's office or the employee's home, there must be newspapers, magazines, video tapes, etc. You can still see this kind of excitement just after coming out of the movie theater. It is too easy to find newspapers.
After all, Sanmao is one of Wanjia's shareholders.
After a while, a few people found today's Kowloon Daily and soon saw "Mr. New Zombie" on the serialization page??
The total length of the novel (New Mr. Zombie) is less than 200,000 words. It starts with a big bonus and is serialized to 10,000 words. At this pace, it will be serialized in less than 20 days.
But this kind of thing, you are not afraid that the series will run out and there will be no follow-up. Once the creativity is created, there will be more followers. This can be done by all the Chinese people in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Haowan!
It can always produce back waves that are even more exciting than the mountain monster.
After reading 10,000 words, Hong Qinbao exclaimed, "Damn, can you still play like this? Since the Kowloon Daily has been serialized, the film and television rights should also be secured."
"Modern people travel back in time to Mr. Zombie? Being familiar with the plot has a prophetic advantage. A Ying only needs to pull out the original crew and reshoot it again, and she will make money again!"
Qin Xianglin said excitedly, "I remember that Mr. Zombie's box office revenue exceeded 30 million. After two years of sales in the video tape market, the revenue from video tapes in Asia was only 20 million!"
"A remake? I'm going to do it!"
"The key point is, just thinking about it, I feel that a remake can not only make money, but also have a sense of emotion... It feels super exciting."
He and Lin Qingxia have already broken off their engagement for a year or two, and they have long since calmed down, so they don't have much emotion when Lin Qingxia starts to break into Hollywood with the help of (cat-and-mouse game).
Lao Qin is not a bad guy. He quickly found a new girlfriend after breaking up with Qingxia.
"Mr. Zombie can be remade. Do you think our The Five Lucky Stars can be remade? It's been three years since the film was released, and we already have feelings for it."
Mentioning this, Hong Qinbao had a toothache, "The horse is on the street, sold out in other places, and the video tape is divided into shares. I haven't seen a penny..."
Mr. Zombie sold it out of town, and his subsidiary took half of it, tens of millions of profits, and 20 million in video tape revenue for two consecutive years. He also took a lot of it.
Of course, he also gave a portion to Lin Zhengying, which was not a small amount. As for the subsequent copyright of the zombies, he did not interfere and it was still given to Aying.
This is the biggest reason why Lao Hong has wide appeal in the film industry. He is popular and generous.
But the Five Lucky Stars series fell into the hands of Zou Wenhuai, and the first two parts were ripped off in various ways. Later, when he rose to become a business tycoon, Zou Sheng was not so shady and was willing to give him some money.
"Let's go to Kowloon Daily first to see the follow-up development of (New Mr. Zombie). If it is a big hit, we won't wait any longer and directly restart (Five Lucky Stars). Isn't it just to make a time traveler...
…”
There is a saying, except for the first three parts of the Five Lucky Stars series, the subsequent sequels are worse than the last. They are pure money-making.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But if we start it again now, we will still operate in the high-quality movie mode, and create a time traveler who can be an undercover agent or a club boss to help them get Chen Chao, and there will still be a plan.
ah.
No matter how much it is renovated, it will not be worse than the subsequent films of Five Lucky Stars!
Qin Xianglin and Feng Suifan both stood up excitedly and followed Lao Hong out. Just as they walked out of the door, Qin Xianglin suddenly said, "Little sister? If we continue to attract Aaron, will the little sister join the group?"
Hong Qinbao cursed, "That one who rushes into the street will cause harm wherever he goes, but the worst thing is that we can take turns to fight and try to persuade them and prevent them from meeting each other."
Zhong Yanhong, the red girl, had already found a new lover, Zhu Jiading, in 1986... Outsiders may think that A Ding is an ordinary advertising talent, an outsider or a marginalized person in the circle, but they all know that Zhu Jiaxin, Zhu Jiading’s eldest brother, is
He is Zhao Sheng's most capable general.
It was Zhu Jiaxin who led the team and together with other leaders, created the special effects of blockbusters such as "Super Body" and "The Love of Ghosts"!
"A-Hong has a schedule, and it is said that he will start preparations for (Dao Ma Dan) after the new year. Xu Kena rushed to the street to film (Cat and Mouse Game) and then went to prepare for (Good Will Hunting). This is the second time to release A-Hong's pigeons.
Already."
…………
That is to say, starting from July 31st, not only cat and mouse game movies began to bombard Hong Kong Haowan, with the serialization of (New Mr. Zombie).
The pen name "Yangshuo" became popular.
For more than two years, Mr. Zombie has earned 20 million Hong Kong dollars in video revenue from Hong Kong and Korean stars including Ma Tai, and has cultivated many movie fans.
Especially after Lin Zhengying became popular all over the world with Hurricane Part 1 and 2, many of his kung fu movie fans will also turn into Mr. Zombie to see another kind of Uncle Nine. There are really too many fans who have accumulated.
The more movie fans there are, then (New Mr. Zombie) really tickled the fancy of countless people. When he returned to the Republic of China, he studied Maoshan Taoism with Uncle Jiu, and not only was he able to marry Tingting, the little foreign-dressed girl, but he even refused to let go of that female ghost Wen Mixia.
Pass.
Can you still make a fortune, start a group training, and shoot thousands of rifles to become a commander?? Even in the Internet era thirty years later, this kind of routine can still lure many readers into the trap every year.
What to talk about now??
During the period when Kowloon Daily was serializing (New Mr. Zombie), newspaper sales were rising steadily, from the first day of selling 160,000 to 70,000 copies, all the way up to 200,000 copies!
The current "Yangshuo"'s writing skills are far inferior to those of many others. He is only 22 years old. His writing style or plot routines, etc., can only be said to be quite satisfactory. He cannot stand up to the numerous auras that come with this subject matter.
Along with the fire, many male celebrities who can understand the direction of the trend have begun to come frequently to recommend themselves.
Even if you can't understand the direction of the wind, don't you know that the original crew of Mr. Zombie has actually been secretly summoned once or twice? If you don't know this, I can only say that you have few connections and few friends!
Liu Dehua, who was still filming in Thailand, called Director Zhao and said with a smile that if he hadn't been short of schedule, he would really like to try the role of the time traveler male protagonist.
That's right, in addition to the one he's currently filming (The Flying Tiger 2), Hua Zai has also accepted a film contract with Xiang Lao Shi's (The Legend of Detective Lei Luo), with a salary of 8 million Hong Kong dollars... just waiting for Ah Hua to finish filming.
The latecomers are starting up.
Last year, Mak Hung-hsiung's film "The Lame Man" became a hit, and biopics of the hero became popular. Xiang Laoshi and a certain detective were related, and everything was settled in just one trip.
Hua Zai takes hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars to shoot pictures at will. He often takes the initiative to lower the price himself. When people come to him from outside, he is embarrassed to ask for money without a starting salary of one million dollars, and there will never be any unpaid debts.
of bad things.
The people who set up the project of the Xiang family (Inspector 500 Million) were the short-haired Chen Farong chosen by the first heroine Bai Yuechang, and Xiao Yingying chosen by Detective Lei’s childhood sweetheart.
………………
August 4th.
(Cat and Mouse) grossed 23 million U.S. dollars at the box office in its first weekend in North America and 17 million Hong Kong dollars in its first weekend in Hong Kong. To the outside world, this wave can only be said to be that Zhao Films’ ability to win over people is too strong.
In just a few years, not to mention Monica Bellucci and other girls, newcomers like Nicole and Naomi are rapidly becoming popular all over the world!
Zhao Donghuai met Gu Zai, Jiao Enjun, Miao Qiaowei, Zhou Xingxing, Wu Zhenyu and others at Zhao's Financial Building.
