Chapter 156: Thinking about speculation and determining the schedule
PS: Ask for a recommended ticket!
The Spring Festival file "The Legend of Wesley" took the lead, and "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" was overwhelming. The two big cast, big production, and big star movies were released a week apart, stirring up changes in the entire Hong Kong Island entertainment industry.
"Cheng Long is desperate for "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", and his life is on a thread!" - "New Newspaper",
"Surprise! Cheng Long's new drama has set off another wave of action, and the dragon brother and tiger brother are reckless abroad!" - "Oriental Daily".
"Ni Mad : Xu Guanjie performed a Wesley that is most in line with the original!" - "Ming Pao".
"The box office of the Spring Festival stalls is rising steadily, and excellent works are frequent!" - "Cheng Pao".
Even if it is a tacit match-fixing between the two companies, Golden Harvest and New Arts City will not really give the box office to others easily. Staggered for a week, it was already a tacit choice of several parties. The next thing is still to fight each other.
Ni Mad just came out to help stand on the platform on the side of Xinyi City, and Tan Yonglin, another leading actor of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" on the side of Golden Harvest, started a song to promote the new play.
Xu Guanjie broke out that "The Legend of Wesley" was in a coma due to lack of oxygen during filming in Nepal, and Cheng Long almost died in Huangquan!
The level of dedication of the two superstars is not evaluated, but this kind of news broke out during the release of the movie, and I knew it with my toes to promote the box office.
At this time, whether it is a big star, the box office is guaranteed. Even if they are superstars like Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie, they are quite dedicated and desperate in filming.
Of course, what remains unchanged is the unremitting efforts to promote the film.
The injuries suffered by the stars during filming are naturally part of the movie gimmick.
Cheng Long's movies in the 80s and 90s don't mention whether he borrowed one or two stand-ins at the end, but Cheng Long's label of "fighting for his life" was indeed spelled out by himself.
Big Nose is desperately trying to get out of every play, and at this point, Fang Shilong is indeed very qualified to enjoy the many abalone feasts in the entertainment industry. Why can't you get the opportunity to with your life?
Compared with the booming events of Golden Harvest and New Art City, Debao Film Company, as a giant holding the third largest cinema chain, is a little powerless. There is no big production pressure array.
At the end of 1986, Debao fought too hard, and "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes", "Brothers", and "Police Thief Brothers" were successively on the file to attract gold and snipe.
At the beginning of 1987, light comedies such as "Happy Five" could not resist the impact of Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie. Debao, an upstart in the film industry, is still difficult to compete with the old powerhouse Golden Harvest and the Golden Princess of the Universe Team.
Golden Harvest is a well-known film company with a strong heritage, and it is responsible for the distribution of famous film companies such as Xu (Xu Guanwen), Weihe, Baohe, Dalu (Cai Yan), and Heping.
What about the Golden Princess?
It's called the 80s Cosmos Team! It's well-funded and all-encompassing.
There is no need to mention the star Xinyi City, it is enough to fight against Golden Harvest's giant alone. The whole company includes New Arts City Production Company, New Art City (Sha Tin) Studio, Oriental Printing, New Art Editing and Recording Studio, etc. A real film giant. A real film enterprise.
Why companies such as Mak Dangxiong Film Company and Siyuan Film can only be called independent production companies at most, it is because they can only shoot!
1024 locomotive! Just a leather bag company! Therefore, if you want to really catch up with these giants, there is a long way to go!
Other film companies under Golden Princess are also famous, such as Yongjia, Film Studio, Eryou, Liu, and Yu Yunkang!
Debao is much weaker than the next, Zhong's, Bigao, Special Art, Gao Peng, Kaifu are all unknown, and there are no masterpieces. Only Yu Rentai's Longtai is still somewhat famous. That's why Turvo is used to releasing films from other independent production companies.
Antai, 1024 Locomotive, and Yongsheng Debao are precisely for this reason.
What about Debao?
I'm afraid that Pan Disheng and Xian Qiran both hope to use the movies of the three as backs. On the one hand, it consumes the popularity of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" and "The Legend of Wesley", and on the other hand, it paves the way for his own big production "Final Victory".
……
Turbow.
The atmosphere in the conference room was gloomy. The box office of Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest is hot, and Debao is slightly embarrassed.
"How?"
Xian Qiran still put the newspaper on the conference table, "Pan Sheng called early in the morning to ask if we have a way, everyone think about it." ”
"Aaron is menacing this time, more than 10 million in just 5 days. Zhang Jiazhen lit a cigarette and took a puff, "Now that we are in a hurry, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Even if you can snipe, it won't be worth the loss. ”
"Actually, it's not a ...... way"
Shum Jianxun confidently nodded the table, "Aren't there a "Crazy Boys" to be released by Antai and 1024 two days ago? ”
Xian Qiran's eyes lit up.
"The approximate time of the schedule has been said, and now ......I will change my mind temporarily," Zhang Jiazhen said with a slight hesitation, "I'm afraid it will damage Debao's reputation." ”
"Don't worry. Debao didn't ask them to release the movie. If you don't want to, you can change to another one. Besides, the schedule is just a rough idea. It's normal to change schedules like this!" Cen Jianxun changed his stupid appearance on the screen, and he looked extremely shrewd and cunning.
"Who was originally scheduled?" Xian Qiran asked the staff next to him.
"Gao Zhisen Film Company's "Rich and Powerful". The person next to him replied.
"Don't worry, I'll arrange this matter. "Rich and Powerful" has our investment. There is no need to rush forward to be cannon fodder for Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest. It's just right to be on this "Crazy Boy", I won their lives, but I lost ......"
Cen Jianxun squinted his eyes and looked proud, "It's not like we don't give them a chance!"
"Agreed!"
"I agree!"
The senior executives of Debao next to him agreed, and everyone understands that the friends of the dead road are not dead and the poor way.
Now that the box office battle is fierce, Debao naturally gives priority to protecting the movies it invests, is it really sacrificing itself to feed others?
They are making movies, not opening green buildings.
If people don't eat chickens, heaven and earth will be destroyed!
Jiang Zhiqiang asked for a schedule so much, and arranged it for him!
What kind of Wu Xiaozu is, isn't it very capable?
Seeing that Zhang Jiazhen also raised his hand helplessly, Cen Curly smiled contemptuously, he was not targeting anyone, he was targeting Wu Xiaozu.
"The Birth of a Word" is praised by some people, and naturally some people will step on it.
He never regarded Wu Xiaozu's point of view as a real art film.
As for the title of "successor of the New Wave" praised by some film critics, he is even more dismissive.
It's obviously a sword that goes sideways, what art are you talking about?
People who think like him are very popular in the Hong Kong Island intellectual film circle. Not all of these people in the New Wave are called Xu Yu! Not everyone will really accept Wu Xiaozu.
Especially for the title of Akira Kurosawa on Hong Kong Island, it is natural to recruit black!
If someone says that Wu Xiaozu is handsome, it can't be argued, everyone can see it. But art is such a thing...... Hehe!
Anyway, Cen Jianxun was very unimpressed. He is also preparing to bring his friends Chen Guanzhong and Tang Jiming to make a "writer's movie" in the real literary circles, pay tribute to Kurosawa, and tell those film critics what is called "Seven Samurai" on Hong Kong Island!
In later generations, Shum Jianxun established the film company of the choreographer, director and production company to shoot a series of so-called writers' films. After that, it seemed that there was no news, but in fact, this guy has been active in the film industry.
Dadi Cinema is the project he invested, which I am afraid many people do not know.
Many Hong Kong Island filmmakers, especially the so-called elite literary and artistic elements, are carrying the bowl of the mainland and doing dirty things. In contrast, big stars such as Liang Xiaoluan and Liu Laomo are more frank and pure.
Cen Curly Hair himself doesn't look down on Wu Xiaozu, a "troubled boy" who was born in the lower three indiscriminate. But business is business, so he won't stop "Crazy Boy" from being released in Debao.
However, he is still willing to teach Wu Xiaozu a lesson when he can.
To be honest, if it weren't for Wu Xiaozu's two consecutive word-of-mouth box office bumper performances, he would have been sprayed to death by the literary and artistic circles.
Those intellectuals who claim to be elites do not regard Wu Xiaozu's films as real art!
What's more, Wu Xiaozu was born naturally and is opposed to them!
Director Wu himself didn't know that he was a good young man who was kind to others, helpful, handsome, and kind.
He didn't even know that he had robbed the schedule of "Rich and Powerful" in this life.
In his previous life, Debao was a blessing in disguise, and the small-cost comedy "Rich and Powerful" became the dark horse at the box office of the Spring Festival that year, and this life ...... I'm afraid it's going to be postponed!
When Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Xiaozu received the news, they immediately knew that they were in the shadows!
