505 [Floating Dreams: Essays]

"Yes, the scene of the second part is even more grandiose, and the invaders of the Alpha Star will come to Earth, and when the movie is made, you can see humans vs. aliens. Haha......"

In terms of plot, Huo Yaowen doesn't care whether it is revealed or not, after all, there is the original book there, and this kind of blockbuster is the special effects.

"That's going to be wonderful. ”

Zou Wenhuai hasn't seen this one, but just by watching the first movie, you can guess the second part with a bigger investment, and the scenes and scenes are absolutely shocking.

When everyone was still immersed in the huge shock of 50 million US dollars, Qingxia moved a stool from outside and sat next to Hu Yinmeng, when she sat down, she found that everyone at the same table was stunned, "What are you all stunned?"

"No, nothing. ”

The group came back to their senses.

Huo Yaowen looked at Qingxia who came back, and said with a smile: "This time you go to the United States to make a movie, remember one thing, that is, you must learn English well." ”

Liu Songren patted his chest and assured excitedly: "General manager, don't worry, I will study hard." ”

"Ah, I still have to learn English. ”

Qingxia had a bitter face, her English class was very poor when she was in school, but she didn't expect to learn English when she went to the United States to make movies.

However, Hu Yinmeng's face was expressionless, although her English was not very good, but after studying at HKU for a few years, there was no big problem in normal communication.

"Then you must learn, this time you have to communicate with the male protagonist of the first part, although you can use post-dubbing, but you can't only pronounce the number 1234 when you are acting with the opponent on the spot, right?"

This time, Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng, and Liu Songren will go to the United States to shoot the second part of "1999", in this part, the three of them have a lot of scenes, almost 20 minutes of footage.

Qingxia was surprised: "There are still actors who read their lines, and they only read 1234?"

"Uh... I'm just using an analogy. ”

Huo Yaowen can't say that this will be the norm in the future.

"Miss Qingxia, they went to the United States to shoot the second part of "1999"?" asked Zou Wenhuai.

Huo Yaowen nodded: "Well, this time the three of them have more scenes, and they have to go to the United States in advance to adapt to the filming environment there." ”

Sure enough, it's a good shade with your back against a big tree!

Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but think of the "Enter the Dragon" co-produced with Warner a few years ago, in order to make the ghost director add more actors from his own company as much as possible, he didn't know how much he had to say.

"Mr. Huo. ”

At this time, He Guanchang led Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanying and Xu Guanjie over.

Seeing these four people coming over together, Huo Yaowen was stunned.

Zou Wenhuai next to him said: "That's Mr. Huo, recently Ah Wen and they made another movie, called "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", which will be released next month or so, and I want to see if I can arrange a release in Japan." ”

The last "Ghost Horse Double Star" was operated by Huanyu Film Company, and after it was released in Japan, this kind of Xu's style comedy seems to be very appetizing to the Japanese, and after making a small profit, Zou Wenhuai tasted the sweetness, so this "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", which also has Xu's comedy style, also hopes to be released in Japan.

Huo Yaowen pointed to Wen Yingguang who came over and said: "Okay, you can talk to Manager Wen about this, recently Huanyu is preparing to set up a separate overseas distribution department to distribute some Hong Kong films to overseas markets." ”

"Overseas Distribution Department?" Zou Wenhuai frowned.

"Not bad. Wen Ying walked over radiantly and said: "Our general manager wants to open up the overseas market for Hong Kong films, just like Hollywood films in the United States, and strive to expand the number of foreign fans who like Hong Kong films, so he has set up a Hong Kong film overseas distribution department." ”

"Isn't there a limit?" Zou Wenhuai was shocked, now the various film companies don't treat the distribution channel as the root of their life, but looking at the other party's meaning, it seems that any movie can be released overseas and released.

Wen Yingguang shook his head and said: "Of course there are restrictions, but they only limit the number of films, there are only five films a year, and they must be new films." If you make a movie before, although there is no restriction, it cannot be released in cinemas, and can only be engraved into a video tape for distribution. ”

The establishment of this overseas distribution department was first proposed by Evans, who also came up with such a good idea when he learned that Huo Yaowen also had a film company in the United States and worked closely with Fox in the United States.

That is, to monopolize the distribution of the whole of Hong Kong to the outside world, or to the outside world, so as to expand to the entire Asia-Pacific region, so as to cooperate with the business of the global newspaper industry, so as to further open up the road to the media empire.

Huo Yaowen didn't expect Evans to have such big ambitions, although when he fooled Evans to work in the company, he proposed the idea of a media group that would combine newspapers, TV stations, music, movies, etc., but he didn't expect to monopolize the distribution of movies.

After all, the establishment of the film company at the beginning was Huo Yaowen's move to play tickets, in order to return Li Hanxiang's favor, and by the way, he also wanted to sign a contract with Qingxia and Yinmeng.

However, now that Huanyu Film Company has been developing well, plus Huo Yaowen has written so much, and it is better to hand it over to other companies to make money by himself, so thinking about it, he also agreed to Evans's suggestion.

In terms of distribution, there is no need to worry about Asia at present, whether it is Japan, South Korea, or Nanyang, the culture is similar, and after several years of cooperation, there are basically no big problems with film distribution in the past.

The United States and Europe are more troublesome, Huo Yaowen does not have a theater chain that he is familiar with, so he can only ask the United States Universal Film Company branch to contact some community theaters in the United States to facilitate this matter as much as possible.

"Five ......"

After listening to Wen Yingguang's words, Zou Wenhuai didn't think about the deeper meaning of this, he just thought that Huanyu Company wanted to make some distribution fees, just like their Golden Harvest, so he kept thinking about how to take it all in one go!

……

Day 2.

Some newspapers have reported the news that "the zombie Taoist broke 10 million box office, and the world held a grand celebration banquet".

These contents are just a little more after-dinner conversation for the public, and it is some people in the film industry who really understand and pay attention to them, and many people think that Wen Yingguang's sentence is particularly right, that is, there will be more and more movies with a box office of more than 10 million in Hong Kong in the future!

A few years ago, no one could have imagined that one of Bruce Lee's movies could break two million box office, let alone a second movie that broke four million box office!

It was the box office of movies several years ago, and when the box office of one million was increasing, and two million, three million were gradually becoming the norm, many film companies saw the scene of the prosperity of the film market, and more and more people joined in.

The first film in history with a local box office of more than 10 million was Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", which was still a movie released in 1980, and since then, the film industry, which was not particularly profitable, has entered the attention of many wealthy businessmen and bigwigs.

It's just that now, there are still very few wealthy businessmen who are willing to enter the film industry, mainly because the movie that broke the box office of 10 million was adapted by Huo Yaowen, and with the previous "1999" with a global cost of 800 million US dollars, most people are not surprised.

As the days passed, the heated discussion of the zombie Taoist gradually dissipated, and was replaced by the last episode of "Girls' Generation" that Phoenix TV is about to broadcast, and nine people will be screened from the remaining people to form a Girls' Generation group, and then host a new song and dance program of the same name Girls' Generation for a long time.

And Miss Hong Kong of TVB will also enter the final Miss Hong Kong finals.

Originally, this was the main and highest-rated program of TVB, but unfortunately with the program "Girls' Generation", it has been on the air for more than a month, and the ratings have not been very high, which is completely incomparable with last year.

The two shows, in the eyes of the public, are more numerically than Girls' Generation, and the young and beautiful girls are also a little more high-quality than Sister Hong Kong's.

Young people like to watch it because the players are the same age as them.

The elderly like to watch it, mainly because there are still many older people in Hong Kong, who are more traditional in their thinking and can accept wearing swimsuits to the pool, but they can't accept wearing swimsuits on TV for the public.

But Girls' Generation is different, this is a youth inspirational show, which will be the story of how to train a group of young girls who love to sing and dance to realize their dreams!

Looking at the girls who are the same size as their grandchildren, from incomplete tones to singing voices, from stiff bodies to dancing youth, from ordinary girls who don't know anything, to energetic girls who can sing and dance, who doesn't like to watch it?

From this point of view, Leigh's TV station is smarter, they just broadcast their self-made TV series on time, and they didn't do anything wrong, just missing a prime time on Saturday night.

And when the public in Hong Kong is hotly discussing these two TV shows.

Huo Yaowen's three science fiction essays, as well as many of his poems, were also typeset and published in the weekly "Young People's Books".

At first, it didn't attract much attention, but as sales rose day by day, readers were surprised to find that Huo Yaowen not only wrote three science fiction essays at once, but also published a volume of essays called "Floating Like a Dream".
