Chapter 163: Soaring Salary
With the end of the Spring Festival, the main films of the Spring Festival stalls of the three major cinemas have reached the time of the next painting, and the "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" released by the Golden Princess and the "Teppanyaki" released by Golden Harvest were all painted on February 22 and did not be released for a full month.
"Mr. and Mrs. Joe," which was released on the same day as them, was not painted until the end of February. However, this is also normal, the attendance rate of "Mr. and Mrs. Joe" has been in a healthy downward trend, and Shaw Brothers has no other good films released, so it can naturally be released for a longer time.
"Mr. and Mrs. Qiao" got a box office of 37 million, and there is no doubt that if Golden Harvest is the biggest winner of the Christmas file, then Shaw Brothers is the biggest winner of the Spring Festival file.
In comparison, Princess Jin is a lot worse, and the "Best Partner" series has reached the third part, which can be regarded as a quite successful series, but it still lost in the showdown with "Mr. and Mrs. Joe", and only got 20 million box office, nearly 10 million less than the original time and space.
Of course, the Golden Princess is not the worst, the worst Spring Festival file is Golden Harvest's "Teppanyaki", a movie written, directed and acted by Xu Guanwen, which only got 12 million at the box office.
Compared with the 19 million box office of the original time and space, it is 7 million less, it seems that it has lost less than "Best Partner: The Empress's Secret", but in fact it is not.
The most important thing is that there is no harm if there is no comparison, compared with Xu Guanwen's previous movies that won the annual box office championship, it seems that the box office of "Teppanyaki" is higher, but in the eyes of others, it is a generation of cold-faced jokers Xu Guanwen is not suitable for the preferences of Hong Kong audiences, and he can't catch the audience's laughter.
Hui's comedy has reached the point of twilight and is about to come to an end, ordinary people may not think anything, but in the eyes of insiders, this is the case.
Because even the editor invited Ye Qianwen, who became popular the year before last for starring in "Sword and Horse", and was nominated for Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards last year, and because she sang a few songs such as "The Wrong Car" released in Taiwan a year ago, Ye Qianwen, who became popular in the music industry, and Ye Liyi, another Hong Kong singer who became popular because of her singing on Hi Beach, played the role of the female number one and the female number two, and it didn't make the box office of this movie higher.
"Teppanyaki" box office Waterloo, Golden Harvest has to hope that Hong Jinbao's "Brave Double Cannon" can save some face.
On the other hand, Jiahe found Qiao Feng again, and wanted to find Qiao Feng to ask for a script.
Another reason for looking for Qiao Feng to ask for a script is that Cheng Long, who is strongly promoted by Jiahe, has not had any good films released in the past two years.
For more than a year, there has not been a starring film with a good box office, which is completely inconsistent with Golden Harvest's positioning for Cheng Long, but a good script suitable for Cheng Long is hard to find.The first part of "Cannonball Speed" has a good box office, and "Cannonball Speed 2" is going to be filmed, but Cheng Long is an unimportant supporting role in the first part, and the same is true in the second part.
For Cheng Long, who is strongly promoted to become the person who will be the leader of Jiahe after Li Xiaolong, it will greatly affect his popularity if he has not had a good work for such a long time.
Qiao Feng is refreshing, mainly because it was originally Brother Long's film, he just used it in advance.Qiao Feng gave the script for the sequel of Plan A, and Qiao Feng did not specify any actor in this scene.
As a result, a few days later, Guan Zhilin told Qiao Feng that Jiahe invited her to make a sequel to Plan A.
"Could you please shoot? Your first part is Aihua, and there are only a few scenes in this sequel, do they want you to make a cameo?" Qiao Feng frowned and asked.
"No, they said that Aihua would find someone else to play, I played a revolutionary named Bai Yinghong, it seems to be the female number one." Guan Zhilin said coquettishly.
"What is the female number one, I wrote the script, Bai Yinghong should be the female number two, what is this Jiahe picture, you have already played Aihua in the first part, it stands to reason that in the second part, please make a cameo appearance in Aihua, but they just want others to play Aihua, let you play other roles, if it is the female number one, forget it, but let you play the female number two. Qiao Feng couldn't figure it out.
It's like this, it's not like valuing Guan Zhilin, it's not like it, they are taking the risk of letting the audience play the scene and let Guan Zhilin play Bai Yinghong, I really can't figure it out.
"Because I'm very popular now, isn't it normal for them to invite me?" Guan Zhilin said with a smile.
Lookers-on see most of the game.
Qiao Feng thought too much, it was better for Guan Zhilin to see it clearly.
That's right, what Golden Harvest is doing is that Guan Zhilin is very popular now, and one goes back to the future, and the box office won 35 million, which made Guan Zhilin jump from a previous star to a big star, who made Guan Zhilin see that she was the heroine in this movie.
Just like Xu Guanwen invited Ye Qianwen and Ye Liyi to make them famous, Golden Harvest is also the fame of Guan Zhilin, hoping to rely on her fame to attract the audience to buy tickets to the cinema.
"How much do they pay you?" Qiao Feng asked.
"I said it was 300,000, I said that the company would have an agent to talk to them about the film, and then I listened to their tone, there should be room for improvement." Guan Zhilin said.
"300,000? They want to borrow your fame and be so stingy, and I'm really embarrassed to say.Jiahui, you did a good job this time, and you didn't take it upon yourself to agree to them.300,000? With your current fame, we won't accept any less than one million." Qiao Feng sneered.
"A million?" Guan Zhilin was a little dizzy, wondering if she was having auditory hallucinations, a movie with a salary of one million? How could it be, her previous salary was only 200,000, as for "Back to the Future" , Qiao Feng didn't tell her about the salary at all, and she hasn't gotten a penny of salary until now.Even if she is more famous now, Guan Zhilin thinks that it is a dream to double the box office, you must know that when Jiahe said that he would give 300,000 yuan in salary, Guan Zhilin almost couldn't help but agree.
"Of course, we all want less than one million, they all earn it, and after "Back to the Future" is released in North America, there is no need to talk about it without two million salaries." Qiao Feng said loudly.
"But, Brother Feng, you didn't pay anyone for "Back to the Future". Guan Zhilin pouted, looking distressed because of a big loss.
Qiao Feng patted her buttocks and said angrily: "Why don't you say that I gave you a luxury villa in Clear Water Bay.Okay, don't pout, I'll remember the salary, and when the time comes, I will see the situation after the North American release, and I will give you a big red envelope."
"Really?" Guan Zhi Linle's big eyes narrowed.
"Lie to you as a puppy."
"Don't, it's Brother Feng's puppy.
