Chapter 121 He disappointed the folks in Dakeng Village(1/3)

On August 18, John Wick was released for nearly 20 days and broke the Hong Kong box office record of 35 million. When it was screened in theaters, the attendance rate was cut by more than 70%.

In fact, as early as the 12th, the attendance rate plummeted by half, but Zhao's Pictures held it at A Mei's house for 11 days, the first weekend of the summer season plus the following week, and the box office data slashed nearly 30 million U.S. dollars. It was exciting.

Hong Kong movie fans’ attendance has been explosive for several more days.

Now, no matter how exciting it is, it can't be too exciting, and its screening screen has been rapidly reduced, with the new film "Hong Kong Flag Soldier" taking over.

The Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers was originally produced by Hong Qianbao and directed by Mak Yanxiong. It was produced by Debao Company and was originally expected to be released in July.

But this summer release, Mr. Zombie, an upgraded version of the hardcover version of Chasing Girls, will be followed by John Wick 1.

It took more than a month for Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers to get a schedule at Zhao Cinema.

The film industry was developing in full swing, and Zhao Donghuai walked out of the Repulse Bay villa like a sage and got on the bus to Kowloon Tong.

The moment the car set off and it was already 10 a.m., Director Zhao couldn't help but sigh. He had let down all the citizens of Hong Kong Island and the folks in Tai Hang Village in the New Territories.

After Monica Bellucci's Italian goal, she repeatedly challenged his weakness.

When encountering challengers like Li Saifeng and Wen Mixia, Zhao Sheng easily blocked them and was very stable.

20-year-old Monica came to challenge her many times, but he didn't stop her.

That is, from Broadcasting Road in Kowloon Tong to Repulse Bay, from No. 15 to now.

He studied foreign languages ​​for two or three days. Monica's English, French, and Spanish are actually not proficient at this stage, and she can cope with the level of daily communication with people.

However, Director Zhao still realized the various changes in different languages ​​​​in different contexts.

He was not just a student, he taught Monica the correct usage of many Mandarin sentences.

Because she is obsessed with studying her roommate's martial arts, Monica, a newcomer and candidate in the film, television and singing circles, has to stay at home for some time.

At eleven o'clock, Zhao Donghuai arrived at the office, and Lin Zhengying, Hua Zai, Zhou Huimin and others who had been waiting for him quickly arrived.

"Sheng Zhao, the script of Hurricane 2 has been roughly decided. Can you help with the review?"

When A Ying handed over the script with a smile, Zhao Donghuai took it and started reading it. These few people were waiting while Qiu Shuzhen and the serious secretary served tea and water.

After reading the rough script and development logic, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Okay, if you shoot this way, it should be stable."

The concept of Hurricane 2, which is integrated into the main line of Ajie's Killer King story logic, was set in mid-June, and Aying began to recruit troops to fill in the detailed skeleton.

After two months of busy work, the main plot development has not changed.

But the details are filled in and you can take pictures.

The initial story line is that Hua Zai was originally a plainclothes elite of a certain police station. When he was first transferred to Feihu, he was relatively young and vigorous. He was trained and trained by A Ying. During a mission, due to his negligence and carelessness, the big thief escaped.

.

Originally, he should have been severely criticized and punished, leaving a stain on his file.

In the midst of panic and guilt, Uncle Ying came back with the big thief... and helped him settle the blame.

Then the relationship between Hua Zai and Ah Ying warmed up, and the master and apprentice teamed up to defeat the big guns repeatedly. Hua Zai helped Uncle Ying take the bullet.

Hua Zai's father is seriously ill and has no money to pay for medical expenses. He will die if he drags on. A Ying, the instructor, takes the lead. Many team members at the same time, such as Xu Jinjiang, Yam Dahua, Liang Jiahui, Wu Yijiang, He Jiajin, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, etc., pool money to help Hua's father tide over the difficulties.

.

Wu Yi was about to die while performing a major mission. Feihu, headed by Uncle Ying, helped him support his old mother.

The orphans he left behind were often taken out to play and raised together.

Of course, there will also be a scene where Hua Zai resigned and lived in seclusion after catching a big thief and assassinating his wife in revenge. Many flying tigers often came to comfort him and comfort him.

A lot of literary and drama foreshadowing is to establish Feihu as a team where we are not just colleagues, but a big family, a team that is tired of cutting trees.

Weah is tired of logging!

This kind of clip is a small prequel that fills in the story before The Flying Tiger 1, and after the real story unfolds, Simon Yam, Huang Rihua, Wu Yijiang, etc. are still working as Flying Tigers.

They are all public servants, and it is inappropriate to cross the legal line to save Amin.

But Lin Zhengying, who is retired, can cross the line to save people and maintain the team concept of "Weah is tired of logging".

In the Fast and Furious series of the 21st century, the team definition of "Weah Timbers" can drag undercover police officers into the water, quit their jobs, and start a family with a criminal gang.

It can still make the Fast and Furious series water slide one after another.

Global money making.

Zhao Donghuai also really feels that this book is good, and there is no need to worry about the drama being too long. If the drama is not enough, the box office will indeed not be able to become a hit in North America and Europe.

Once the sequel is completed, it is true that one or more of Tsui Kam-kang, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Simon Yam, Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei and others can be brought in to create a new series at any time.

A new series featuring them.

For example, make a big movie, like the story of "A Day in Time", in which an international gang of gangsters come to Hong Kong to cause trouble, and working tigers Tsui Kam-kong, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Simon Yam and others wipe out the gangster gang and save people.

You said that Xu Jinjiang appeared in Hurricane Rescue 1? And he died? He was the rich man's bodyguard leader in the first film? It doesn't matter, just change the name of the character.

Following Zhao Donghuai's words, Lin Zhengying and others breathed a long sigh of relief, and everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Aying smiled and said, "When will the shooting start? Hand-held photographer..."

Director Zhao nodded, "I won't be taking on the director's position. You can ask Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong and the others to shoot together and co-direct, including action design."

"The photographer, Lu Yue, Zhang Feng, and Li Bian'an will take turns or come together to test their abilities."

"If they can handle it, let them do it. If it doesn't work, we won't be afraid of scrapping the film if we call for my support."

I’m really not afraid of wasting film, this is still a series that can make back its money before it’s released!

Lixin Group still spent 2 million in sponsorship fees plus all the clothing needs of the entire crew. Lafite still spent 5 million, including a batch of drinks. Then he heard that Hurricane 2 was about to be launched, and Lei Juekun spent 3 million in advertising fees, hoping to plant

into his paper advertisements.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zou Wenhuai spent 3 million to implant Bawang shampoo, the requirements are not high, just hold the shampoo for a second or two when washing your hair.

Mercedes-Benz came and wanted to contract a large number of vehicle shots for the film crew, and they spent 5 million! In fact, the Taiwanese Automobile team also came, but Director Zhao rejected the Taiwanese Automobile and chose Daben.

This fucking movie hasn't even been officially launched yet, and maybe other advertisers will join in the future, but it has already received 18 million in advertising fees!

Faster than when Director Zhao was filming New World 1, the local box office and overseas sales in Asia were all profitable.

This is the same environment in which Director Zhao promoted his own fast-moving products in Hurricane 2, going to Wanjia Supermarket or Baijia Shopping Mall for 24-hour shopping without giving any money.

I am not afraid that too many embedded advertisements will affect the movie-watching experience. After all, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of normal Hong Kong residents are closely related to many of the above things and the environment.

For example, if you shoot a daily scene of Zhou Huimin shopping in a supermarket, any advertisement will easily blend into the environment.

In this case, it doesn't matter if Lu Yue, Zhang Feng, and Li Bian'an are allowed to practice and learn from the waste film, they can make and waste it as they please.

It's almost late August. Both Zhang Feng and Li Bian'an have been studying photography for five months, and they have two more months of internship with the John Wick crew. The efficiency is comparable to that of professional college students who have studied for two years.

Again, college students have get out of class time, holidays, Sundays... they don't.

They are the elites who are only one in ten thousand. The double bonus of the Hong Kong community is just like playing games. They are also the best photographers among the elite group.

Lin Zhengying laughed and nodded, "Okay, then I'll start filming on the 20th? I'll call the main creators together today to familiarize themselves with the script."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Yes, our film and television group fully supports this drama."

The copyright for Hurricane Rescue still belongs to the Zhao family, not to Dongzheng Films and Dongzheng Company founded by Lin Zhengying. Currently, the core product is the Zombie Taoist series.

When the group of people left excitedly and only Amin was left, Zhou Huimin put her arms around his arm and said coquettishly, "Boss, Sister Li and I, Ahong's recording has been completed as we wished, and the MV night shooting has been completed."

"Even my own song (Say You Say Me) has been recorded."

"Should I release singles one after another, or form an album? There are so many popular title songs, and I feel like if I collect some songs, I could form several albums."

Director Zhao smiled and nodded, "Let's put it into the same single album. There are many Chinese fans of Mandarin songs, and there are many old fans of English songs. There is no conflict. At worst, by the end of the year, a few of your best songs will be combined into a small album."

"This style of play is also very popular in the island country's music scene."

In Hong Kong's Haowan music scene, there are generally one or two hit songs, high-quality songs, and about ten ordinary songs. Singles are sold once, and big albums are sold once.

It is popular in the island country to release four or five singles a year, and at the end of the year, four or five or seven or eight songs will be combined into a small album to be sold again. A single album may also contain two songs.

Amin nodded, and then said resentfully, "Why is it not 1985 yet? Time flies so slowly."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

Is there any special commemoration of 1985? Not much, except that next year will represent Amin’s official coming of age, 18 years old.

Zhou Huimin quickly smiled and said, "Boss, I also bought a small villa near your villa in Repulse Bay. Can I show you around during the Spring Festival this year?"

Director Zhao was sweating, the Spring Festival was still so far away, so let’s not mention it now.

However, she can afford to buy this kind of property. She is also the first actress to be promoted to a multi-millionaire, on par with Hu Huizhong.

Sister Hu is making rapid progress in the film industry. She can't stop filming one new film after another. Sometimes she even has to skip a film. For example, Happy Ghost 2 is still being filmed. Hong Yinbao's lucky star Gao Zhao has chosen her as the heroine.

Currently, Amin's "The Flying Tiger" has only been a hit once, and "Tornado" 2 is expected to be released in the Lunar New Year period.

But her status in the singing world is that she is currently the most popular new generation female singer in Hong Kong.

When the two English songs become popular, they will be able to catch up with Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau in the music scene. However, Director Zhao will not easily let A Min go to concerts or tours outside Hong Kong Island.

It's so chaotic outside these days.

In the music and film circles, the money earned from the accelerated sales of products can be used directly to buy a villa in Repulse Bay. This is also an excellent way to manage and invest money.
