Chapter 1250: Movie Pattern
In the past few months, the bad economy of Hong Kong, the downturn of real estate in Hong Kong, and the panic of Hong Kong people, have never affected the film and entertainment circles of Hong Kong.
Films such as "Mr. Zombie 2" and "Happy Ghost", which have repeatedly broken Hong Kong box office records, have all been released in the past few months.
No matter how poor and sad you are, you still have to have the necessary entertainment and leisure, just like in the past few months, a few streets famous for their wind and moon, and business is also very good.
At the end of August, the first part of Shaw Brothers' trilogy of exiting the film industry, "Detective Chocolate", was released in a state of embarrassment.
Because Shaw Brothers is about to leave, Golden Harvest, an old rival, also put aside those previous grievances and deliberately allocated 10 movie theaters to "Detective Chocolate".
Kirin Films, which has taken over the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, also fully supports and helps to contact a total of 30 cinemas.
Coupled with other scattered ones, "Detective Chocolate" was actually released in 55 movie theaters in one go, setting a record for the highest release of Shaw Brothers films.
This Shaw Brothers' carefully crafted screenplay by Yin Jun, under the banner of the final trilogy, has attracted countless movie fans from the beginning.
And this time, the rare high production level, reasonable and novel plot, all made the audience refreshed, and every day on the "Entertainment Spit Edition" of "Kirin Daily" said that if such a movie had been made earlier, how could Shaw Brothers have fallen to the point where it is today?
With a large number of films scheduled and a good reputation, "Detective Chocolate" collected 12 million box office in the first three days of the weekend, and then collected 10.5 million and 950,000 box office in two weeks, and exceeded 32 million box office in three weeks, surpassing the previous "Blind Detective" in one fell swoop and becoming the highest-grossing film in Shaw Brothers.
According to this posture, there is no doubt that the height of 40 million will be drawn in the end.
In the overseas market, "Detective Chocolate" is also sought after, and the Shaw Brothers Cinema in Nanyang alone has achieved a three-week performance of 80 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a new high for Shaw Brothers.
Looking at this achievement, Shao Liuye was relieved and sighed.
In his heart, for a moment, he wondered if he should continue to do it.
But after all, he is a decisive person, since he has decided to do his best on TV, then he will not regret it, he will only do it seriously and wholeheartedly.
Shaw Brothers is about to leave this bustling film circle, but this does not mean that the Hong Kong film industry is lonely.
From the previous two-man hegemony, Xiangjiang has now formed a three-strong situation.
Kirin Films, Golden Harvest, and New Art City, the three film companies compete for beauty, and good movies emerge one after another, which is really difficult to solve.
Don't look at the Kirin movie, there is the world's No. 1 gold medal screenwriter Yin Jun in charge, but Yin Jun is only one person after all, and it is impossible for him to come up with dozens of movies a year, at most three or five.
And a mature film company, of course, will not release only three or five movies a year, at least a dozen.
For example, Golden Harvest, plus its satellite company, had 26 movies released last year, which is the first in Hong Kong.
It was followed by New Arts City, where they produced a total of 21 films.
In third place is Kirin Films, which has produced 15 films.
The remaining medium-sized film companies and small film companies jointly contributed more than 100 films, making a total of 180 films released in Hong Kong, with an average of more than 14 films released every month.
And that's not even counting the movies imported from Hollywood and Japan.
If it weren't for the fact that there are more than 150 cinemas in Xiangjiang now, and about 100 on the scale, it would be hard to say that every movie can be screened.
Also, don't look at each of Yin Jun's movies for six weeks, but in fact, there are not many movies in Xiangjiang that have been shown for four weeks, at best, half of the 200 or so movies can be shown for four weeks.
More movies are released in a week or two, and there are even day trips to theaters.
No way.
The cinema market is so cruel.
Once your movie attendance is not very good, then it will invite all kinds of harsh conditions.
Before the Kylin Cinema Line was built, among the film companies that did not have a cinema chain, only the Kylin Film Company dared to open conditions with the cinema chain, and dared to directly open a picture with forty or fifty cinemas, and then the sharing conditions had to reach 50%.
The current Xiangjiang films, in fact, have long been under the leadership of Yin Jun, and have gone to the whole of Asia, and even the whole world.
At least in the whole of Asia, Hong Kong Films has achieved overall dominance.
Before Yin Jun, although Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest also played a market, they were just well-known.
Only starting with Yin Jun, one wonderful movie after another, and years of hard work, have completely conquered the audience in Asia.
In the five largest movie box office markets in Asia – Japan, South Korea, Treasure Island, Hong Kong and Thailand, at least five of the top 10 films at the annual box office are Hong Kong films, which is a very high figure, even more powerful than Hollywood movies.
But this is not Yin Jun's efforts alone, but the efforts of all Xiangjiang filmmakers.
The place in Xiangjiang is too small to support so many film companies and filmmakers.
Therefore, everyone watched Yin Jun's continuous strategy for foreign markets, and they all suddenly woke up and began to learn from Yin Jun.
The best ones to learn are Golden Harvest and New Art City.
Golden Harvest has the three trump cards of the Xu brothers, Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao.
There are seven monsters in the New Art City.
In addition to Yin Jun will give them the scripts of the two companies, these very capable filmmakers have also been stimulated by Yin Jun to create a lot of good movies.
For example, in the past July and August, the Xu brothers released another movie, which was not the cold joke movie they were most familiar with, but turned into a more ironic, but more absurd movie - "The Land of Right and Wrong".
This movie was only released in 30 theaters at the beginning, but it cut more than 5 million box office in the first week, and urgently increased the number of movie theaters in the second week, and it harvested more than 8 million box office, and the total box office was more than 30 million after being screened in 6 weeks, which is not only the best box office result of the Xu brothers, but also the second among the movies written by Yin Jun in Xiangjiang.
The first is naturally Cheng Long's "Police Detective Story".
On the side of Xinyi City, in the three months of the summer file, a total of 7 movies were released, and the density was amazing.
Except for the two films with Xu Ke and Zeng Zhiwei, which only ended with a box office of 4 million and 7 million, the rest are all at a box office of more than 15 million.
"Little Life and Courtesy" written and directed by Huang Baiming is the most powerful, with a total box office of more than 35 million, which shocked the whole Xiangjiang.
Because of this, the achievements that the Xu brothers have just achieved were squeezed to the back by "Xiaosheng Youli".
Three years ago, Xiangjiang Movies could reach 10 million, which was a very remarkable achievement.
But after the times continue to advance, today's 10 million movies can only be regarded as barely enough.
If you really want to go up to the top of the class, you have to be more than 20 million.
Any director or actor, as long as he starred in a movie with a box office of 20 million, then they are a corner and belong to a well-known person.
If you say 30 million, it is even more remarkable, and the newspaper will immediately give you the name of "popular fried chicken" and "first-class director", an absolute line.
If it is 40 million or 50 million, so far in Xiangjiang, except for the films written and produced by Yin Jun, there is no second person who can have such results.
Cheng Long, who is known as a kung fu superstar, has just broken through the limit and reached 30 million.
However, if you want to talk about Cheng Long's coffee position, it is among the top few in Xiangjiang.
Because he is the only one who can reach a box office of more than 30 million without relying on Yin Jun, writing scripts and filming by himself - of course, there are also the Xu brothers and Huang Baiming.
Because of this, now those superstars in Xiangjiang, and even the directors, dare not say that they are better than Cheng Long.
After all, they also relied on Yin Jun to get so many achievements.
For example, Fei Xiang.
If it weren't for Yin Jun's hand-picking of him to star in "Life and Death", would he have become popular and become a well-known new star all over the world?
If you change Cheng Long...... Well, Cheng Long forgot it, replaced our Zhang Guorong, isn't that the same?
That is, Zhang Guorong is stubborn, he only likes to play music, and he doesn't like movies very much.
Otherwise, according to his relationship with Yin Jun, where would Fei Xiang become popular all over the world?
However, it is said that now Jun Shao can't stand the laziness of this best friend, and he has been appointed to star in a big-budget movie, and the director and producer are still the gold medal producer McDonald Bear from ATV.
Let's see if Zhang Guorong can become another Fei Xiang after that!
Speaking of Zhang Guorong, we have to talk about another Liang Chaowei who is as popular as him.
Although Liang Chaowei's qualifications in the film industry are still very shallow, in the TV circle, Liang Chaowei is already invincible all over the world.
Even the veteran super-star Zheng Shaoqiu, Huang Yuanshen and others are inferior to the invincible young Liang Chaowei.
Xiangjiang people love Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei, and many people list them as peerless double pride, although they are a bit touted, but they are definitely not without reason.
But Liang Chaowei, another friend of Yin Jun, is said to be Yin Jun who thinks he is a little impetuous, and his acting skills are not in place, so he has to pressure him to hone for a few more years.
Most of the movies starred by Liang Chaowei now belong to supporting roles and cameos, which are far less popular than him in the TV circle.
Many fans of Xiangjiang are actually already eagerly calling.
"Please prepare carefully! If two or three years later, Wei Zai and Rong Zai can appear in the same movie, it will be our supreme blessing!"
Yin Jun wanted to laugh when he saw such an appeal.
In this world, only Yin Jun knows that Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong have really collaborated on an extremely wonderful movie.
"Springtime".
It is no exaggeration to say that this movie is simply the pinnacle movie of the King of Sunglasses, Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong working together.
Although Yin Jun does not approve of homosexuality, watching the performances of Liang Chaowei and Zhang Guorong, he has to sigh that it is a crime for this movie to make any actor lose the title.
Except for some sensitive pictures, every shot taken by the king of sunglasses is like a picture scroll, which makes people reluctant to take their eyes off.
Of course, in this life, the fates of Zhang Guorong and Liang Chaowei have changed, and this classic movie can't come out.
But it doesn't matter.
There are so many excellent and good movies, but the two of them have the opportunity to work together.
Even if the two of them are a little lazy, but with Yin Jun's supervision, they can't be lazy if they want to.
For example, if it is in "Infernal Affairs", the two of them will compete with each other's acting skills, and the audience will definitely be fascinated by it, right?
