Chapter 608: Yuan Biao's Pressure
"Does Mr. Qiao really think it's good?" Yuan Biao asked with a happy face, and after asking, he felt that he was not very polite to ask, and hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Qiao, I'm not questioning you, it's just that after watching the film, everyone feels unsure."
Yuan Biao said it very tactfully, in fact, it is not unsure at all, it is that people who have watched the finished film rarely think that this film is good.At least, for the investment and cast of this film, the finished film is not good.
The director of the Peacock Prince is Lan Naicai, who can also be regarded as a ghost director in Hong Kong. He once studied photography under the famous Japanese photographer Masashi Nishimoto (also known as Helan Mountain).
Shaw Brothers once recommended him as a director, Xu Ke and Hung Jinbao also lobbied, but they were politely rejected one by one, until Li Xiuxian began filming "One Way Road", and he agreed to co-direct with him. The two met in age, and they made a special deed, and people in the film industry called them "Ssangyong going to sea". When Shaw Brothers was in the world, he served as a photographer with Hu Jinquan, Li Hanxiang and other great directors. His use of sound, light and electricity in science fiction films and modern means of special photography to form a novel directorial effect is unique in the Hong Kong film industry.
Director Lan Naicai is not weak, and the starring lineup can also be regarded as luxurious.Yuan Biao Needless to say, his momentum in Hong Kong at this time is not weaker than his two senior brothers Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long too much, Yuan Biao has a better body shape, and his movements are more chic and elegant, which can basically be said to be between the two senior brothers.
Then the heroine is Ye Yunyi, this is not famous, but she is not famous in the film industry, but she is not an unknown person in the advertising industry.
Then there is the female No. 2 Wang Xiaofeng, this needless to say a generation of ghost queens, has nothing to say about her appearance and figure, and her fame is not small.
The debut film of the performance is a ghost film: "The Fierce Ghost Out of the Cage: The Devil Goes Crazy". Later, he co-starred with the film celebrity Er Dongsheng in the movie "The Wrong Mandarin Duck", playing the rich girl Jin Jin, who married the salesman in lightning after suffering the blow of broken love. Wang Xiaofeng, who has never been trained in acting, brilliantly portrayed this poor and lovely girl with her extraordinary understanding, which dazzled the industry and the audience, and is still known as one of the most outstanding newcomers in the history of Hong Kong cinema many years later.
At the subsequent Hong Kong Film Awards, Wang Xiaofeng was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the same time, and was successfully crowned with "The Wrong Mandarin Duck".
After being elected as the queen of the movie, Wang Xiaofeng's star journey is smooth, and the film appointments are continuous. Maybe it's because her big resentful eyes and subtle and deep expression are too storytelling, and the several new films she was asked to star in are ghost movies, and the female ghost image she created is also superb, and the "Zombie Family" she participated in has become a classic of ghost movies.
Wang Xiaofeng also got a sensational title called "Ghost Queen". At the same time, Wang Xiaofeng's bold personality has not changed, and she launched a nude photo when she won the title of actress, which became a sensation in society and was known as a first-line actress with both talents.
The combination of Yuan Biao and Wang Xiaofeng alone is already luxurious, not to mention the previous Shaw Brothers' wake-up Liu Jiahui to play the second male lead.
What's more, this film is also a co-production between Hong Kong and Yuben, and there are also several actors who are famous in Yuben to participate.
It is also for this reason that the investment in this film is very large.
But such a film with a big investment and a luxurious lineup is not favored by others, and I don't blame Yuan Biao, the leading actor, for being so worried.
Because in Yuan Biao's heart, those who participated in the film were all professionals, and their eyes were indeed very poisonous, but those people were worse than Qiao Feng, and I don't know how much.
There may be some truth in those people's disbelief, but if Qiao Feng says that he is optimistic, then no matter how reasonable those people's disbesticity is, in the case of Qiao Feng's optimism, all their reasoning has become unreasonable.
Because, this is Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng, who has never missed, has an accurate vision that everyone can only look up to.
If Qiao Feng says that it is good, it must be good, this is a truthless truth.
"Is Mr. Qiao really optimistic about this film?" Hong Jinbao also asked with a confirmation.
Because he has also watched the film, to tell the truth, he also thinks it is very ordinary, but because it is starring his junior brother, there are some things he can't say.
"Yes, I think this film is very good, of course, this is in the overseas market, if it is in the Hong Kong market, I am afraid that the box office will exceed 10 million." Qiao Feng nodded and explained.
"Ahh Yuan Biao Hong Jinbao showed a disappointed expression at the same time.
Although it has always been said that Southeast Asia is the self-reserved place for Hong Kong films, in fact, there are not many Hong Kong films that can go out of Hong Kong.
The second is that if you want to distribute overseas, you must first look at the box office situation in Hong Kong. But everything that can be sold overseas is basically a good film that sells well in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Qiao Feng said that the box office of this film in Hong Kong can only exceed 10 million, which basically announces the death sentence of this film.
"Don't." Qiao Feng looked at the disappointed two with amusement and reminded: "You forgot who you worked with in this film."
"Said myself." Hearing Qiao Feng's reminder, the two subconsciously answered.
"That's right, it's me." Qiao Feng smiled and nodded: "This film is not only Jiahe investment, but also my own investment, in other words, the distribution of this film is not only Jiahe is responsible, in this film is naturally distributed by the distributor of this film."
"That's right, thanks to Mr. Qiao's reminder, it's us who got the horns of the bull." Hong Jinbao reacted the fastest, after all, he has opened a number of companies by himself, and there are many opportunities to cooperate with others to make films, I don't want Yuan Biao to be in Golden Harvest most of the time, or to cooperate with his brothers.
Hong Jinbao immediately knew what Qiao Feng wanted to express.Since it was a cooperation with the film company on the side of the book, the distribution of the book must be the responsibility of the film company of the book.
In that case, for the Peacock Prince movie, the box office in Hong Kong will basically not affect the release of the book.
Listening to Qiao Feng's meaning, the audience of this film overseas will definitely be large, which means that the market of Yueben, which is not affected by the distribution, is likely to be a box office hit.
If this is the case, based on the size of the film market far exceeding the Hong Kong film market, as long as the audience on the side of the film is more accepting of this film, then the investment in this film is not a problem.
will definitely be able to earn back the investment, as for how much you make and how little you earn, it depends on how well the market accepts this film.
