400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In 1986 in Hong Kong, no more, no less.

You can buy an old apartment in a bad location. may also be gambled by the rich and lose all the money.

In the previous life, it seemed that when it came to Xiangjiang movies in the 80s, the first impression was that it was low-cost, small-production, and big.

It is customary to use the house price at the time to refer to the investment amount of a movie to prove the so-called purchasing power.

There is a word called "generalizing from the partiality".

About the example they often give is: 82 years of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars of purchasing power can buy an ordinary small villa, so if you use 1 million to make a movie, it is a big production. Generally, a small production of 100,200,000 is OK!

Actually?

We all know the reason for the low housing prices on Hong Kong Island at this point in time. Don't mention it specifically, make up for it yourself.

In 1982, before Wu Xiaozu entered prison. The Mai bald head of the new art city is backed by Lei Tycoon, and he is full of spirit for a while, pointing out the country and promoting words. Get ready to do a big job and challenge the prestige of Golden Harvest!

The first plan is to find a messy Fa Ge who is popular on a small screen to play the leading role of the Hong Kong version of "007", which is the protagonist of the Hong Kong version of "007", which became popular later, created a box office record, and stirred up an IP series of "Best Partner".

But, where did Fa Ge have the heart to make movies at that time?

He was busy arguing with Lian Mei at the time, so he arrogantly refused.

That's right, Zhou Runfa refused!

chose to give up his career for the sake of his feelings, of course, it turned out that if the relationship was broken, no matter how much he saved it, it would be useless.

It's better to keep each other's beauty and choose to let go at the moment when there is no resentment.

In short, the singer Xu Guanjie actually belongs to the "spare tire" of Xinyi City. But a spare tire is better than a jack.

The singer is very bold, the lion gnaws the hydrangea, you Xinyicheng want to have a hard anus Jiahe, that's good.

At this stage in Xiangjiang, except for Zhou Yanfa, I Xu Lao Si is very popular, and there is no need to talk about the two million salary plus box office sharing.

The cost of anti-water Golden Harvest is too low, of course, it is not worth it!

At that time, Xu's Film Company was backed by Golden Harvest, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.

Xu Guanjie's singing scene is beautiful, and the film industry is also majestic, "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" and "The Loser" have been box office hits for many consecutive movies.

Yes, at this time, Brother Xu Guanjie shouted out the concept of box office sharing.

In fact, the best player to play this concept is not someone else, it is Boss Zou of Golden Harvest, and even the star studio opened by later stars is played by Boss Zou.

Zou Wenhuai is still a more open-minded and responsible filmmaker.

This is much stronger than others. It is much more long-term than a few intriguing guys in Xinyi City.

Mecca reported to Boss Lei: Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao on the Golden Harvest side have already sprinkled money and are expected to prepare for the filming of "Plan A" and "Young Master Long", both of which are major productions of Golden Harvest.

We want to be a hit, but it is okay to have no box office guarantee for Guan Jie.

Lei Tycoon is ambitious to establish the Golden Princess Company and invest in film companies such as Xinyicheng and Yongjia, just to do a big job, can he be cowardly at this time?

I also want to say that Tycoon Lei is really rich, but without saying a word, he directly threw the cashier's check on Mecca's face, and waved his big hand-

Don't be cowardly, the elite of Jiahe? Lao Tzu is the elite of Jiahe!

Therefore, everything later is known, Xu Guanjie has no friends for a while because of "Best Partner", and he is popular all over Southeast Asia.

Only Fa Ge was left holding Lianmei, and the two staged the drama of "you are ruthless, you are ruthless, you are unreasonable...... and you are making trouble", and they shed tears at each other.

and secretly hurt himself, play self-harm, and play suicide. The pretty boy almost turned into lying corpse hair.

A generation of superstars even came close to dying on a bottle of detergent.

If it weren't for the maid to find out in time, how would Fa Ge complete the two movie masterpieces of "Macau Pit Money" and "Ace Tease 175CM" in the future?

In the final analysis, movies are still commercial operations, and they belong to the category of art and entertainment under the commercial industry.

At least very few people make a movie in the first place to lose money, right?

Even if the king of sunglasses began to cut out his artistic pursuit, he also had a little bit of a loss to seek the recognition of the market, right?

I want to be hilarious and want everyone to be hilarious together, otherwise why should it be released in theaters?

Loneliness is the carnival of one person, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

It's a pity that his world alone is indeed full of loneliness, but there is a group of people missing from the lonely world to accompany him to carnival.

The King of Sunglasses is therefore lonely at the box office. looked at a group of literary and artistic goods who held salons in the Directors Association on weekdays, and scolded: You said that you would go to Baitou together, but you secretly baked oil.

The rapid development of the economy in Hong Kong and the changes in the situation between China and Britain have led to the emergence of a bubble-type deformed economy, and a false prosperity has appeared in Hong Kong, which has brought about social turmoil, impetuousness and pressure on people's hearts.

This situation has created the vigorous development of Hong Kong films from the late 70s.

After the baptism of the new wave, the Hong Kong film industry has entered a blowout.

There is no doubt that the development of any entertainment market is inseparable from the influence of the external environment. Anyway, resolutely.

Xiangjiang movies are becoming more and more popular like a volcanic eruption, and the production cost is also rising. The reason why there is a small cost and the impression of small production is nothing more than the irregularity of the market and the drive of interests.

If it is really as cheap as two or three hundred thousand yuan to shoot a commercial blockbuster movie in theaters, then how can those film companies that have lost money and gone out of business explain it?

At the peak of Xiangjiang, there were more than 1,000 movie bag companies with names.

If a grave is dug up for burial, there is not enough land on Hong Kong Island for burial.

When the time comes to the timeline of 86 years, a commercial cinema film will have to be one or two million to make a foundation.

Movies with big productions, big casts, and big stars, at least three or four million, or even five, six, seven, or eight million.

In the final analysis, Xiangjiang movies are too hot and have too much cultural impact.

There is even a grand scene where as long as the local box office in Xiangjiang is a big hit, then Wanwan, South Korea, RB, Southeast Asia and other places will also be a big hit.

made Southeast Asian film dealers and cinema operators wave checks to grab film sources and films.

Now if you want to shoot a low-budget movie, you need to have at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to support it.

A lighting group of ordinary lamp masters will give you at least 2,000 yuan to start work. The salaries of the people behind the scenes are raised, not to mention the actors.

Fa Ge first starred in movies in 75, but the real starring role was "The Pool Girl" filmed by Xieli Company in 76, and the one who worked with him was the beautiful Yu An'an, that is, the first sister-in-law.

When he was still called a beautiful boy, his remuneration was only a few thousand yuan.

In the past ten years, Zhou Yunfa's achievements in movies have been so-so, but the small screen has become smoother and smoother.

On the big screen, the pretty boy hair has become poison hair, but even so, his income has changed from remuneration to salary, and it has increased more than tenfold.

To open a play, there are still hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

I think that the one who wants to call him poison the most is Wu Xieli, the owner of Xieli Pictures.

The big boss opened films one after another to praise him, but one by one hit the street.

In the early days, Zhou Runfa was indeed very literary and artistic, and he hadn't figured out his own commercial side, or his own commercial acting, it would not be an exaggeration to call a sinkhole, at most bronze three!

"The True Color of Heroes" Zhou Yunfa starred in friendship, and the price of the supporting role should also be 100,000 yuan.

There is no way, even if Fa Ge pits producers and investors one after another, he can't stand his fame. Similar to the little fresh meat stars of later generations. There is no big box office appeal, but there are a lot of fans.

is so popular that some TV fans go to his trash can, and the frightened Fa Ge doesn't dare to use more paper, for fear that a woman will suddenly jump out and give birth to a child, and then ask himself if he is happy. The fans were crazy at that time!

As for this phenomenal movie, 500,000 is him, and 1 million is also him.

Anyway, at the beginning of the 90s, as long as Andy's name was pasted, there were filmmakers who were willing to spend 8 million to buy flowers.

At that time, Liu Dehua's salary was 3 million yuan, do you believe it? Otherwise, why do you think those community film companies used scripts to invite him? This is faster than printing money.

So, now Wu Xiaozu is open. For commercial films, the star effect does not need to be considered.

It's only 400,000 Hong Kong dollars! Do you want one of Zhou Yanfa's legs to act?

"If you have money, you have no problem making movies? Wow! I didn't think we could make movies, hahaha......"

Fei Cheng's face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were shining, "Can we invite Zhou Yanfa, Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Honggu, and Lin Qingxia to act?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking at Wu Xiaozu's eyes, nose and mouth, he opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Do you want to replace it with Zhao Yazhi, Xu Xiaoming, Qiu Guan, Huang Rihua, Liu Songren, and Li Saifeng?"

Fat Cheng cried with a sad face, looking helpless, "Won't even Shi Tian not have enough money to invite him to film, right?"

"Do you think I'm a fortune boy, or do you want us to play a stage play with stars?"

Wu Xiaozu glared at him, "Don't you need equipment for filming? Don't you need someone to start work? Do you want the four of us to film? You big guy and I are 400,000, not 40 million!

"Qian ......" Fei Cheng shrunk his neck, suddenly his eyes lit up, shook his curly hair, and threw a flattering eye, "Big guy, if I really go to sell fart-stocks? ”

"Do you like you?, is the rich woman hungry for meat?" Luo Dong said disdainfully.

"Hey, you might as well go like that, maybe there is a pork chop that likes you. As soon as the words fell, seeing Luo Dong standing up with an unkind gaze, his face changed suddenly, and he turned pale with fright.

"Brother Dong! No...... Zheng Shaoyun in Causeway Bay! Qiu Guan, I know that I am wrong!"

Fei Cheng licked his face and begged for mercy with a smile, "I'm in Causeway Bay Zhou Run's hair! Please look at the same beauty, give me this face a face! Okay, the first beautiful boy in Causeway Bay." Pretty Boy East?"

"What are you calling me?"

"The first beautiful boy in Causeway Bay!"

"Next timeβ€”"

Luo Dong's eyes narrowed, nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Fei Cheng, gestured with both hands, and said, "You can expand the scope a little more, for example, Hong Kong Island is the first......

"Definitely ......"

Fei Cheng nodded hurriedly, his eyes suddenly swept to the side of the big guy Wu Xiaozu, and hurriedly shook his head, "Well, no, in my heart, Brother Zu is of course the first beautiful boy on Hong Kong Island!"

The dog-legged came to Wu Xiaozu's side and flattered him.

"Big man, I, the second beautiful boy on Hong Kong Island, swear to defend your status as the first beautiful boy on Hong Kong Island. ”

Convex!

The three of them looked at each other. Then they pounced on each other and tried their best to express their brotherly affection.

……

The next day, Causeway Bay, Dragon City Ice House.

"Two Ham Omelette Sandwiches with Bacon and Iced Coffee!Two Pork Chop Rice with Orange Juice, One Cheese Scrambled Egg Toast with Pineapple Oil Bread with Coffee ......"

There were a lot of dine-in people on the first floor, and Su Liyao took a pen and paper while greeting the guests and instructed the two guys to order.

In the back kitchen, Wu Xiaozu put two ham and omelette-egg sandwiches at the outlet, pressed the bell, and picked up the wet towel hanging around his neck to wipe his sweat.

It's like a Chef Wu's outfit.

After the morning rush hour, two guys were left to watch the store, and the four of them left in the car.
