Chapter 530: This is, the skill of killing people with a knife?
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
Bang β
"Second son, this ball is beautiful enough!"
Huang Baiming smiled, under his brown glasses, showing eight white teeth, holding a tennis racket in his arm, laughing and applauding, "Your level is enough to participate in the National Open!"
"Tennis on Hong Kong Island is too unprofessional, and I really have very few opponents!"
Lei Yunlong smiled and threw the racket to the female companion next to him, took the towel and wiped his sweat, and walked towards the sun umbrella not far away, "I heard that my big guy and Boss Mai have the intention to spend a lot of money to shoot a big cast movie?"
"I heard that it was an intention to reboot the 'Best Partners Series'. β
Huang Baiming smiled and handed over a bottle of wrung Evian mineral water, and said tentatively, "This time, the second son, you came forward to support the drama of "School Storm" and "Die Hard" against Wu Xiaozu...... Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"
This summer file is really surging.
Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, Debao and many independent film companies have come up with works above the qualified line.
1988 was a very competitive year for excellent films in history. Since the beginning of this year, the prosperous market of Hong Kong films has stimulated capital inversion.
"Of course it's reckless, but Princess Jin can't leave a month blank for her opponents, right? β
Lei Yunlong slapped his female partner's buttocks in a hurry, stirring up a thousand waves, and said absent-mindedly perfunctorily, "You can rest assured." I have the heart to discuss with my old bean to support you to start a new play, as long as you perform well, I can't support you...... I said it. β
"That's... Is that...... I have always listened to the second young man's ears and acted on his orders. β
Huang Baiming's eyes flickered as he looked at the gentleman in front of him, with a bright smile, "I want to see if I can give me a little more supportββ"
"Don't worry, this time I borrowed Wu Xiaozu to fold Mecca, so that he could understand who to follow......"
Lei Yunlong waved his hand disapprovingly, and the whole person was already buried in the little star's chest, and he was wrapped up in a puff, causing the little star to moan and scream.
Huang Baiming smiled, his fingers pushing his glasses.
The other party wanted to borrow Wu Xiaozu's knife to "kill" his eldest brother Lei Yunqing's sharpness. However, in his opinion, the so-called second son in front of him is also his knife. He also wants to use the other party to grind Mecca's spirit, so as to increase his voice in the new art city.
Watching Huang Baiming leave, Lei Yunlong raised his head, his eyes were cold, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his fingers twisted fiercely.
"Ahh
The little star screamed in pain
"Only by being obedient can you eat, and with so many thoughts, am I really an idiot?" Lei Yunlong sneered.
At the beginning of this year, Ishida began to decline.
At the beginning, Xu Yu and Wu Yusen asked him to play the role of Long Si in "The True Colors of Heroes 2", just to help him solve the dilemma at that time, but unfortunately, "The True Colors of Heroes 2" was too eager and did not achieve the expected results.
The infighting in Xinyi City at this time was already very serious.
Mecca supported Lin Lingdong, and Huang Baiming led the people from the screenwriting team, and the two sides fought each other.
With the power in his hands and Lin Lingdong's successive successes, Mecca's position is unshakable.
"Wu Xiaozu ......"
Lei Yunlong changed his cynicism just now, his eyes were cold, and the Lei family's industry was not all Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd. Or it can be said that the reason why the Lei family has such a status today is that the entertainment company is not the main business.
Now, his eldest brother's mind is on the affairs of the film company, and in his opinion, he is simply an idiot!
At the beginning, he made a reckless move, but he was embarrassed by Wu Xiaozu, and his eldest brother made a fake move, and staged a drama of brother, friend and brother Gong to show him Lao Dou that he thought he was acting well, but he didn't understand at all that he was going to show him this kind of condescending gesture.
Compared to the Lei family's industry, what is a golden princess?
Huang Baiming walked out of the tennis court, still maintaining his habitual eight-toothed smile
"Boss, what's the matter?" Gao Zhisen, who had a thick round head and a big face, greeted him.
"I'm afraid this son of the Lei family is not very reliable~"
Huang Baiming responded softly as he walked, looking around left and right, "Zhisen, you said before that Boss Xiang asked you to cooperate in a new play?"
"Hmm. Yongsheng has made a condition, as long as I go to film, the investment will be at least 3 million for us!"
Gao Zhisen said, frowning, "However, I am concerned about his identity......"
"It's okay to put it off for a while. This time, you directed this "Chicken Head Duck Talk" Debao attaches great importance to it, and it may not be your opportunity.
However, try to avoid Wu Xiaozu's schedule.
This time, he brought the power of Cannes, and invested more than 35 million, even if there is an exaggeration, but the cost must be no less than 28 million. Otherwise, the cast alone will drain his funds.
With his style, there must be plenty of money to shoot big scenes. I've heard with people inside Locomotive 1024 before, and they have a very high opinion of this movie! I'm afraid it won't lose to "Two Heroes"!" Huang Baiming reminded.
Gao Zhisen heard the other party's words, and spread his hands helplessly, "Although I shoot the movie, the situation of Debao is also indescribable. Zhang Jiazhen 'defected' from Debao and joined the 1024 locomotive. On the contrary, there is some imbalance within Debao, and Mr. Pan is newly married, and his mind is not on the film company, so I am afraid that I will not be allowed to give my opinion this time......"
Zhang Jiazhen's departure from Debao also caused turmoil within Debao Film Company. The interests he left behind naturally made the rest of the high-level blushing. Especially when Pan Disheng doesn't care too much about the company's affairs, the people below are even more fierce.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Wu Xiaozu...... If it weren't for the 1024 Locomotive Film Company to help attract attention to Xinyicheng, I'm afraid Golden Harvest's eyes would still be staring at us......"
Huang Baiming pondered for a moment, "At the beginning, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest could join forces to strangle Xinyi City, not for the sake of profit. Now that the 1024 locomotive is rising strongly, the rest are not willing to see it. New Art City now does not have to face the joint efforts of Golden Harvest, Debao and other companies, and it also gives us a chance to breathe.
I have to prove that I am a better fit than Mecca in order to rejuvenate the city.
Arsen, you have to help me!"
"Boss, how do you say to help? The two of us don't have to worry about these ......."
Gao Zhisen and Huang Baiming have a very good relationship, both of them are screenwriters, and they are like-minded at the same time.
At the same time, Gao Zhisen also knows that if he wants to jump to the position of a first-line director, Huang Baiming's promotion is indispensable.
"By setting up a film company in your name, we have to prove that we are right! Not really...... We can only fight with Mecca once," Huang Baiming said calmly, "See the real chapter at the box office!"
Gao Zhisen nodded.
Huang Baiming's plan is undoubtedly a bit risky, but it is indeed a clever move. If they set up a company to shoot a film that overwhelms the Mecca-led film, then Huang Baiming can 'grab power' in a high-profile way.
This play is historically called "Family Carnival".
β¦β¦
"This is, the skill of killing people with a knife!"
In the Jiahe manager's office, Zou Dingou calmly said to He Guanzhuan and his brother Zou Wenhuai in front of him, "Only by boiling the water in the summer stalls can we have the opportunity to curb the momentum of the development of the 1024 locomotive."
Back then, we joined forces with Shaw Brothers to make New Arts City like a great enemy, but it also made them more united. Later, Sanmao invited Mecca to film, but it disintegrated them.
What I think is that we don't just shout and kill. Instead of saying that we are charging on the front line, it is better to use ghosts to deal with Wu Xiaozu!
If he wins, that's what he deserves! Who made him the light of the Chinese? There was a slight mistake...... I think he was affected, right? You must know that many fans now have a high demand for him to be the number one director on Hong Kong Island! They even call him the Hong Kong Island flag......
This suddenly reminded me of the banking crisis on Hong Kong Island, when a large number of Chinese capital was acquired by British capital, and even Hang Seng was controlled by the British.
It can't be the pride of Hong Kong Island today - the same is true of the film industry, right? As the light of the Chinese, he has to win beautifully...... Besides, anyway, whether it's us or Xinyicheng and Debao, we won't really sit back and watch him become bigger-
Maybe Xinbao Cinema Line is not willing to do it! So, instead of the so-called profit maximization, it is better for everyone to put it on the surface and sing together. If we lose, we don't lose much. On the contrary, it can make time for our own films. On the contrary, as long as it is not too miserable, it is a small profit!
On the contrary, 1024 locomotives, and then win...... Big guy, Brother Chang, what do you think of the two of Xinbao Cinemas? If I'm not mistaken, in this year's Chinese New Year file, they took advantage of Wu Xiaozu's absence, so they counted them once, right? If it weren't for Li Licheng's birth, maybe there would have been a crack inside the 1024 locomotive......
As far as I know, the last play of 1024 locomotive "Little Man Weekly" failed at the box office, but it made Xinbao Cinema a little dissatisfied internally. After all, Xinbao Cinema Line was not opened for him Wu Xiaozu! How many independent production companies are staring at it......"
When Zou Dingou said this, he shook his head and scolded, "Wu Xiaozu's wolf ambition! If it weren't for the fact that he introduced Taiwan capital into Hong Kong at the beginning, and if it weren't for the fact that he used "Two Heroes" to support Chen Feng's Xinbao cinema line, we wouldn't have made our Jiahe cinema so passive now.
The hearts of its artists, cooperative studios, and companies are fluctuating, and they are not satisfied with our box office share, which leads many people to throw themselves into the arms of Xinbao Cinemas.
However, this also gave Chen and Feng the confidence. β
"This is what you came up with?"
Zou Wenhuai held a cigar in his mouth, looked at Zou Dingou with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction, "North American films want to enter the Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asian markets, and Golden Harvest is close to the water. Use it to test the water this time, and I'm not against it.
However, if we borrow a knife to kill someone, we are not borrowing a ghost knife......"
"Wrong~"
He Guanchan also smiled, took the coffee, and spoke, "It doesn't matter if Wu Xiaozu wins or not. The important thing is that he is in the army of Xinbao Cinema! This is interesting. I can now think of the faces of those two sons. β
"Do you say, will they turn their faces?" asked Zou Dingou tried.
"Heh~ Someone thinks money is hot?"
Zou Wenhuai smiled thoughtfully, spit out a puff of smoke, and said domineeringly, "Don't think too much! 1024 Locomotive has developed to the end, as long as there is no theater support, he will at most set off a storm in the field of production and distribution, and he can't kill the third prince of the Dragon King! Nowadays, the proportion of foreign box office in Southeast Asia is getting higher and higher, and our Golden Harvest advantage is getting bigger and bigger!
If the two of Xinbao Cinema are really so short-sighted - I don't mind that Golden Harvest Cinema cooperates with Wu Xiaozu, a descendant!
"There will be caution, but the stumbling block should be controlled to a certain extent. He Guanzhuan smiled.
Although they hope that Xinbao Cinema Line will fall out with Wu Xiaozu, the probability of this kind of thing is too low.
In the mall, profit comes first.
profitable, this will not be the case.
β¦β¦
Mong Kok, Monday.
Countless office workers hurriedly pinched pineapple buns or toasts to catch crowded buses and subways, and started the new week.
The intersection is full of pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
"Sir, do you need to report it?Okay, three mosquitoes~"
The newsboy smiled and sold a newspaper to the man in front of him in a T-shirt and slacks, then turned to the side to continue selling the newspaper.
Many office workers waiting for the bus will buy one.
Ye Wei pursed his lips and grabbed the pineapple bun, and shook off the newspaper while the bus was still away.
"Sylvester Stallon's Iron Fist Shook the Quartet, Golden Harvest Cinema Held a Fan Meeting" - "Oriental Daily".
Mr. Stallone, the star of the Hollywood event, recently came to Hong Kong to promote the new drama "Rambo 3"! A fan meeting will be held at 10 a.m. this Saturday, when lucky fans will be drawn and the biggest prize will be a chance to take a photo with the Hollywood superstar...... At the same time, you will also have the opportunity to get a reward for the 10-day tour of Dongying, watch a movie, and win a trip!
"Golden Harvest has such a big blood?"
Ye Wei chewed on the pineapple bun and couldn't help but sigh at the publicity of Golden Harvest.
"The competition in the summer file is really fierce-"
When he saw the bus coming, he couldn't help but shake his head. The vehicle is plastered with a promotional poster of "School Storm", and the huge "Fengyun Trilogy" gimmick is particularly eye-catching.
"Hey, go to the movies at night? Xinbao Cinema Line is showing Wang Jing's new play, starring Ah B and Dudu, it must be very interesting!"
"Wang Jing's play is so funny, okay, let's ...... together after work" The companion obviously also liked Wang Jing's tune.
You can say that Wang Jing is a kitsch market, or that he is, pee, and fart, and he can't get into the hall of elegance. But he himself has a very accurate pulse of the market. Each place can seize the selling point and make money at the box office.
This down-to-earth approach is also the reason why he is invincible at the comedy box office.
With the box office sales of several dramas in a row, Wang Jing has also begun to form his own fan base. Many young people are very fond of his comedy films with a hippie smile.
On the contrary, the style of Xu Guanwen, the former cold-faced smiler, began to lose the market of many young people. One generation entertains another, and sometimes there is a certain amount of truth in the formula
The wolf smoke of the summer box office battle has been ignited.
Xinbao Cinema launched "Mr. Collision", Golden Harvest introduced "Rambo 3", and Golden Princess released "School Storm".
The three dramas have their own audiences, which also heated up the market for a while.
At the same time, many people's eyes are also on the 1024 locomotive.
No way, who made you Wu Xiaozu a great director in Cannes? Who made you the most jumping?
Whether it is Golden Harvest, New Art City or Debao, it does not mean that it has to be aimed at Wu Xiaozu.
It's that Wu Xiaozu's past record is too sharp.
This time, with the aftermath of Cannes, they have to pay attention!
This is like the summer or Spring Festival in later generations. The one with the most fame is definitely the one that gets the most attention!
β¦β¦
1024 Locomotive Films.
"Rambo 3" is set for July 15, "School Storm" is set for July 17, "Chicken and Duck Talk" is set for July 18, one day with us! "Die Hard" is set for July 19. β
Yu Weiguo took the information, his face was heavy, and he hesitated, "Brother Zu-you see?"
"Points?"
Wu Xiaozu looked at Yu Weiguo's serious expression with a smile, and quipped, "Be happy." Now they should be nervous about us...... You look at Brother Zhen is very calm!
Besides, the summer season is so long, which day is fierce competition? How are the two dramas at the box office in North America?"
"First Blood 3 grosses more than $50 million at the North American box office, and "Die Hard" is even more than $83 million!
"These guys are really not afraid of death?"
Zhang Jiazhen, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help laughing, "This year's summer file is really fiercely competitive! Everyone didn't let it at all! This is really the feeling of expanding the scale of the summer file!"
I estimate that this year's summer file will be able to set a record for the total box office of the summer file since the opening of Hong Kong Island! Local, Western, and Wanwan films are all competing in a concentrated manner, and it is really a hard bridge and a hard horse!"
"Times are different. Now everyone values the summer file, and naturally no one wants to let it. Moreover, this year's Lunar New Year and Spring Festival stalls have also made a good start! Several film companies have contributed high-quality works of different styles, and the impact is not as great as imagined. Unlike back then, Golden Harvest and New Art City are all-for-tat!
At the same time, the summer season is more popular, which will only make more audiences who usually do not buy tickets to enter the theater choose to enter the cinema to watch the movie. At the same time, it will also hollow out the pockets of the target group......"
In the previous life, since 1988, the Hong Kong Island film market has entered a stage of a hundred flowers. Although there are countless bad movies, there are also a lot of good movies. At the same time, it is catching up with last year's financial stock market losses...... Often, in order to stimulate consumption, the government will make the entertainment market prosperous.
Moreover, although the stock market blew up, the economic development of Hong Kong Island has not been affected. It even broke the trap of a certain amount of middle-class consumption and entered the opportunity of GDD to break 10,000 US dollars.
This situation is like the previous life, where there are many good films.
At that time, it was a direct reflection of the more mature film market. At this time, the same is true!
"Since everyone wants to see who is stronger and who is weaker between us and the ghosts, then let's compare and contrast together! Kill people with a knife?" Wu Xiaozu smiled slightly.
He understands the current situation.
It seems that if the 1024 locomotive wants to develop, it will naturally embark on this road.
However, Wu Xiaozu did not refuse to make this knife very much!
This knife is fast enough to cut leeks better......
That's right!
Although Wu Xiaozu attaches great importance to the box office market this time, in fact, he focuses more on his capital operation this time!
If it's really successful, then it's fun...... Will there be so much money that the group of people in Golden Harvest, Xinyicheng, and Debao are at a loss? ?
He now wants to see the faces of those old friends, it must be interesting!
"Since, if you have to make me stronger, the stage is all here, I don't make a few sounds, it doesn't seem like it's right?"
Wu Xiaozu smiled.
"......" Yu Weiguo looked up.
"Then it's even more arrogant, in case the province is seen by this group of old foxes, it's a bit of a trick, and it's right and wrong!
Wu Xiaozu said with a smile, "Notify "Daily Daily" and communicate with TVB, you can blow a wave......"
Everyone wants to play with a knife to kill.
Wu Xiaozu didn't mind playing with him. Originally, he was worried that in the stock market, "God of Gamblers" alone would not be able to make waves and attract more leeks!
It just so happens that now everyone is cooperating with him!
This time, I will take the opportunity of the record high box office of summer movies to give you a little confidence.
Let them see the development potential of the film and entertainment industry, otherwise who is willing to cut it willingly?
The more intense the summer file, the more it proves the gold content and potential of the 'first share of entertainment', and more people will be willing to invest money in it.
Otherwise, Wu Xiaozu would really have to spend a little more time on it!
