Chapter 687: Out of Time

Lin Zhengying, who is known as Uncle Jiu, is the source of Golden Harvest's confidence.

The apricot yellow robe, gray hair, two straight sword eyebrows, and a small tuft of beard are Lin Zhengying, and they are also the symbol of zombie films.

Not to mention this time, it is twenty or thirty years later, how many loyal lovers of Hong Kong films will never forget Uncle Nine's zombie films.

Speaking of Lin Zhengying, you must talk about zombie movies, and when it comes to zombie movies, Lin Zhengying's performance must be the guarantee of high-quality products.

Moreover, in addition to Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao, who played Mr. Zombie at the beginning, and Lou Nanguang are also among the main creators, which are also the source of Jiahe's confidence.

With such a lineup at the collection to shoot zombie films, Golden Harvest simply wants to recreate the glory of Mr. Zombie under the banner of the original team of Mr. Zombie.

In fact, Lin Zhengying, the main creators, and even He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai are not sure whether they can renew their glory, but it is necessary to use Mr. Zombie's gimmick to attract the audience.

Moreover, when Hong Kong's traditional Maoshan zombie films were repeatedly imitated by many followers and had no innovation, so that they gradually lost the audience, Lin Zhengying's film made a bold reform and innovation, in order to avoid Hong Kong zombie movies from being poor in skills and self-defeating, while trying to ensure that the local folk interest was not lost, Lin Zhengying integrated Western vampires and zombies into this Hong Kong zombie film.

This drama has a lot of investment, and the filming time is also very long, which is much more time-consuming than when Mr. Zombie was filmed.

The field staff has to work for more than 8 hours a day, and they also need to build a high platform and plant banana trees during the shooting, and they can't stop as soon as they start work. And there are more than 30 photos on the high platform, all of which are very heavy wood, so it takes a full year to shoot such a heavy shot.

This is a big company like Golden Harvest, if you change to those small film companies, a year can be consumed, and if you don't do it, the company will survive for less than a year.

For this film, if you invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars, you must get at least 20 million or more box office to make a profit.

Of course, such a large investment also shows how confident Golden Harvest is in Lin Zhengying.

And Lin Zhengying is really right, because of Jiahe's confidence in him, the eyebrows are really good, very exciting and funny.

On the first day of release, it got a box office of more than 3 million, which is a little worse than the bloody duo with fairy hair, and much stronger than the rejuvenation of Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang.

And because it has been a while since the bloody duo was released, the daily box office has dropped to less than two million, so Yimei Daoren successfully won the box office championship of the week.

One-word eyebrows, cold humor, agile skills, even drawing talismans and reciting spells are stylish, or familiar taste, or familiar formula, or familiar Uncle Jiu.

In Yimei Daoren, the novel effect of Maoshan Taoist and Christians "talking with chickens and ducks", and Maoshan Technique fighting with Western zombies made the audience like it greatly.

But compared to Mr. Zombie, the Yimei Daoist is also more terrifying.

The plot of the movie is driven by emotion, the emotion is moving, the intention is moving, the evil thoughts are used by ghosts and gods, the appearance of ghosts in the film is quite in line with the traditional concept of ghosts and gods and policemen in the film, so it is true, the real horror is the most frightening, this fear goes straight to the bottom of people's hearts.

It is precisely because of this more terrifying plot that this one-eyebrow Taoist has also committed a bit of a summer taboo like the bloody duo.

The original Mr. Zombie, although there was also horror, but to be honest, the horror is not so obvious, even if the zombie bites, and then the corpse changes, it makes people look more at joy than horror.

However, Yimei Daoren reduced the joyful plot and increased the horror factor, which made Yimei Daoren much smaller than the original Mr. Zombie in terms of audience.

Lin Zhengying wants to bring zombie films closer to European and American horror films, but Hong Kong audiences don't buy it.

Of course, not only Hong Kong audiences, but also the entire Oriental audience, are not so buying horror movies.

Except for those with a little taste, not many Orientals like to watch horror movies, which is why pure horror movies are far less popular in the East than in the West.

In the summer file, everyone is happy, but it turns out that you have a big tragedy, a big horror, and it's strange that you can be very popular.

This is also the reason why most of the summer and Spring Festival files in China, whether it is at this time or in the future, most of the blockbusters are comedies and action movies, while there are few or even no other genres.

On the first day of release, the box office was gratifying, on the second day, the box office was also good, and on the third day, it was okay, but after the initial outbreak of fans of zombie films relying on a specific audience, from the fourth and fifth days, Yimei Daoren inevitably ushered in a rapid decline in attendance.

And the attendance rate of the bloody duo affected by the rejuvenation of the rejuvenated and the disturbance of the Yimei Daoist is also declining every day.

However, the decline of the Bloody Twin is very smooth, and sometimes it can even break out a little.

This has to be said that while the quality is higher, the audience of action movies and gunfight movies is far more than that of fantasy zombie movies.

If you talk about the audience alone, there must be more comedies for family fun, and then there are kung fu action movies that are deep in the bones of the Chinese people.

The Bloody Heroes is a gunfight action movie, the audience is already large, and the quality of itself is much higher than that of rejuvenation, and it is also higher than that of Yimei Taoist, and there are Zhou Runfa , Ye Qianwen and other superstars with huge popularity, it is not surprising that its box office is strong.

However, whether it is an eyebrow or a bloody man, in the current situation, it cannot reach the level of satisfaction of investors.

Whether Yimei Daoren can make a profit in the end is definitely a question, because judging from the current box office trend and attendance, it is difficult for Yimei Daoren to exceed 15 million at the final box office, and it will take a miracle to exceed 20 million.

Of course, Golden Harvest will definitely not lose money in the end, because there are still box offices in Taiwan and overseas to make money.

However, the income is definitely far less than Golden Harvest's expectations.

And the bloody duo, in the case of a luxury lineup, is not profitable, or even less profitable.

And now the final box office of the bloody duo will be more than 20 million, but there is still a distance from success.

It can only be said that there is no merit and no fault.

And, such a result also made Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa, two worried men, make up their minds to break into Hollywood.

Because they have reached the apex of their careers in this corner of Hong Kong, if they don't want to go backwards, the only way is to go to a bigger stage and climb higher peaks.
