Chapter 142 Unleash the Heat (2/6)
Why do you want to find Ng Man-tat? "The Wandering Earth" is about to be filmed. According to the original words of the Big Golden Retriever: the most favorable character in the whole "The Wandering Earth" is Han Zi'ang played by Ng Man-tat...
Moreover, Ng Mengda is different from those old seniors. In recent years, he has not only spent money to act in some old comedies, but also starred in some serious movies, such as "The Fuse News Line".
Think of yourself as a professional actor...
The most important thing is that people are not short of money, and his restaurant is very popular...
In addition, what Lu Xiaoran thought about was whether to bring these people together to create a variety show that could make use of their remaining passion, just like "Informal Talks", letting everyone talk about Hong Kong movies of that year.
Choose a topic for each issue...
There should be a problem.
There are too many topics to talk about in Hong Kong movies: comedy, action, underworld, erotic...
A bunch of secrets!
Lu Xiaoran filmed "Wushuang" for two weeks, and her biggest feeling is that this place is said to be accustomed to filming!
For example, when filming crowd scenes, there is no need to play scenes: before filming, the staff hid in the crowd with equipment, and as soon as the director shouted, the staff rushed to the crowd with the actors and started acting.
Of course, the single, the chase scene is to report in advance and block the streets...
Hong Kong is very small, and the shooting venues often overlap with the places people often visit, which will lead to dissatisfaction among vendors.
...
"You want to have a variety show?"
"Yes, our company has a subsidiary that specializes in variety shows, called Orange Entertainment, "The Voice of China" and "Running Man" are all created by them. In recent years, the scale of variety shows that can be broadcast on TV has become smaller and smaller, so I can only go to the video platform. I am going to invite you and teachers Wu Mengda, Weng Hong and Guan Lijie to make a program that recalls Hong Kong movies..."
"If you want to do this kind of variety show, it is best to invite several different companies, Xinyi City, Jiahe, Xinbao, Emperor, and China Star... Hong Kong movies back then were basically the world of these companies!"
"…I just had a preliminary idea. The specific creativity and invitation list will have to be submitted by the variety show company."
"You should also note that Hong Kong is too small, and there are many grudges and grudges!"
Chen Baixiang has a very flexible mind...
He himself is the host - the host of TVB "Happy Tonight"!
Lu Xiaoran was thinking about finding a few familiar supporting roles in gold medals, but these people always have their own factions, and Chen Baixiang is just that. He has a bad relationship with Zhang Guorong. When Tan Zhang competed for the barbarians, he helped his good friend Alan Tam to confront Zhang Guorong several times...
Everyone has their own circle!
However, because of Anita Mui, several people are considered in the same circle. Chen Baixiang, Tsang Zhiwei, Alan Tam has a good relationship with Anita Mui, so good that Anita Mui said, "I have three dogs at home, one is named Chen Baixiang, one is named Zeng Zhiwei, and the other is named Alan Tam'...
Lu Xiaoran admired Chen Baixiang very much. This guy’s life is really a legend: when Brother Lai was 18 years old, he brought his good friend Alan Tam to play music together. They formed a band called "Loser".
The band did not fail at all because they defeated Xu Guanjie's Lotus Band at the music festival to win the championship.
But soon after, Chen Baixiang left the band, Alan Tam also went to study abroad, and the "loser" band was disbanded.
I left the band and started my business. I have owned a three-piece garment factory for three years, with a net worth of tens of millions.
That year, Chen Baixiang was only 25 years old.
He was full of energy and bought five luxury cars in one go. It is most suitable to describe him as "I have to be happy when I am proud of my life."
It has been a few years since the economy was recession and increased competition, Chen Baixiang's garment factory was facing bankruptcy, and his girlfriends were in trouble.
Not to mention the lack of money, there are still millions of clothes that are unsold.
Chen Baixiang, who is skilled and brave, personally took millions of clothes to the Middle East to trade with the Somali pirates.
He proposed to give the pirate a commission of one dollar for every piece of clothing sold, and spent several years clearing all the goods and making a profit.
Damn, are you talking to the pirates?
Awesome!
Of course, he is more courageous now: I am a normal Hong Kong citizen, with no high school or children in the country, and nothing can scare me!
...
I encountered a little problem with the filming of "Wushuang" - "Cold War 2" was so popular in Hong Kong!
Liang Jiahui and Zhou Runfa had to promote...
Ten days after its release, the box office has reached HK$45 million. It is very likely that "Mermaid" will become the highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong.
It can be predicted that the next trend will be quite good, and it is possible that 60 million or even 70 million!
There has been no such big-selling local films in the Hong Kong film market for a long time. Of course, "The Mermaid" has also sold well: 57 million Hong Kong dollars!
In other words, the Hong Kong box office of "Journey to the West" is more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars...
In Lu Xiaoran's opinion, even if "Cold War 2" can have HK$70 million, it is just enough for the box office in mainland China...
With this free time, why not go to the mainland to run roadshows more?
In the eyes of these people, Hong Kong movies are only proud of selling well in Hong Kong!
Be convinced!
Anyway, the shooting cycle of "Wushuang" is two months, and time is enough, so Lu Xiaoran is too lazy to care about so much...
However, the questions asked by a group of reporters in the set made him very surprised.
He actually asked him what he thought about the sweeping box office of "Cold War 2" in the mainland?
Big Boss, "Cold War 2" has not exceeded 100 million in a single day. Do you call this a sweep?
So what is the maximum of 240 million yuan per day in "Geng Hao Returns to Hometown"?
Do you have any misunderstandings about the word sweep?
"Cold War 2" was released for one week and had a cumulative box office of 460 million;
The air ticket fee for "Big Fish and Begonia" is 410 million yuan, and "The Night of Comet Comes" is released for 14 days, with a cumulative box office of 590 million yuan...
Orange Ticketing’s box office forecast for “Cold War 2” is 670 million;
The box office forecast for "Big Fish and Begonia" is 580 million;
"The Night of Comets" should have a total box office of around 700 million...
Sweep?
Even a low-cost science fiction thriller with an investment of 25 million yuan can't beat it, so what to do about sweeping?
Of course, he definitely didn't answer that way. He said: "I have always believed that the Chinese film market is the most inclusive in the world. Good works will definitely be appreciated, and shoddy works will definitely be despised... The reputation and quality of "Cold War 2" can be regarded as excellent, so it is predictable to win a high box office!"
"Didn't you say that it is difficult for Hong Kong movies to get more than 300 million box office results in the mainland?"
"…I said this in 2009, the annual total box office was not 10 billion, and the current total box office has long exceeded 50 billion. You multiply 300 million by five..."
Even in 2019, the best box office of Hong Kong films was "Drug War 2 Showdown". With almost no opponents in the same period, it won 1.3 billion, setting a Hong Kong film box office record...
But so what?
Chapter completed!
