Chapter 1397 - Slap in the face at the box office!
There is no doubt that early the next morning, the media in Xiangjiang were discussing "Raid".
"There's no plot, there's no substance, but it's fun! If you're just for the senses, then I recommend you go to see The Raid. - "Ming Pao" Entertainment Edition.
"This is the best kung fu movie I've seen this year. In the final battle between Yuan Biao, Fu Sheng and Zhou Bili, I didn't even dare to breathe too much, for fear of missing a detail!" - the famous critic Cai Lan.
"Jun Shao's shot, it's really extraordinary! Yuan Biao also used his performance to prove Jun Shao's ability to recognize people, absolutely the first in the world!" - "Kirin Daily" entertainment evaluation.
"Tsk, the mysterious Kowloon Walled City, the mysterious big lone owl, the sad assault team, the fierce Yuan Biao...... I give this movie a score of 99! If I don't watch it once or twice, I'm sorry for their efforts!" - Editor-in-Chief of Pear Newspaper Entertainment.
"I came again this morning to buy tickets, and when I went back last night, my mind was full of fights in "The Raid", which was so enjoyable and so beautiful!" - interviewed fans.
“……”
In the hearts of Chinese fans, kung fu movies are actually a grade higher than gunfight movies.
You can see this from the status of Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.
Wu Yusenrao is an international-level director, but in the hearts of fans in Xiangjiang and in the hearts of fans in China, he is inferior to Xu Ke.
The martial arts spirit and gorgeous kung fu of Xu Ke movies all make people have endless memories.
If you look at Wu Yusen's gunfight movie, you will watch it, it was very cool at the time, but I will definitely not rewatch it three times or twice in the future.
Yuan Biao's fight and fight movie, which has no urine points throughout the whole process, just caught the hearts of the audience.
Before that, there had never been a movie, there was no nonsense at all, no love and hatred, no male and female plots, just fighting, from beginning to end.
Although there are some people who are not suitable for this tight style of movies, more Xiangjiang people like it very much.
Not only the people of Xiangjiang, but also the whole of Asia, "Raid", which was screened together, also received the same praise in almost all of Asia.
At the box office, it naturally appeared.
"The Raid" slashed 120 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Asia in its first weekend, causing a sensation in the Asian film market.
This is even more popular than Cheng Long's movie!
As a result, Yuan Biao rose again and became a kung fu superstar in the hearts of the audience.
From not being favored to suddenly becoming popular overnight, Yuan Biao's mood can be described as ups and downs, and he almost lost his temper.
When he was interviewed, he only knew how to smirk, as well as thank his senior brother and Jun Shao, and he was not as resolute and resolute as in the movie, and he was full of domineering.
Hung Jinbao was also pleasantly surprised.
He knew that Yin Jun's script would definitely make money, but in the spirit of reducing the risk and winning over his companions, he only invested one-third, and the remaining Kirin Movies and Golden Harvest Movies each accounted for one-third.
As a result, I didn't expect the box office of "Raid", just like its plot, to explode as soon as it came up, and it was so amazing.
120 million Hong Kong dollars in three days!?
After the whole 6 weeks of Asia-wide screening, can it be less than 400 million?
The overall shooting cost of "Raid", plus Yin Jun's script, is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Publicity plus 20 million, that is to say, basically the first three days have been close to the return of the capital.
With a box office of 400 million Hong Kong dollars and a share of 1.2, you can earn at least 50 million.
And that's not even counting the buyout of European and American copyrights.
A movie will casually have a profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
He, Hong Jinbao, can get 30 million alone.
Now the villas in Xiangjiang are only a few million, and 30 million is enough to buy a very large high-end villa in traditional luxury residential areas such as Mid-Levels, Jardine's Hills, and Deep Water Bay.
If Hong Jinbao had been more bold at the beginning, occupied half of it himself, and divided the remaining half with the two companies, he would have earned at least 20 million more.
Thinking of 20 million and flying away like this, Hong Jinbao beat his chest unconsciously.
He sighed not only for the first part, but also for the next few sequels, and Baohe Company has no way to change the investment share ratio - what's the matter? When you make money, you turn your face and don't recognize people? When our two major companies are called Hanako?
In order not to offend people, Hong Jinbao can only insist on such a way of equal distribution among the three companies until the end of "Raid".
It's just that the only thing that comforts Hung Jinbao is that with the strong distribution network of Kirin Films and Golden Harvest Films, the big sales of "Raid" are guaranteed, otherwise even if it is sold for money, he will not be able to share much money.
Hung Jinbao is happy here, and Golden Harvest is equally happy.
Zou Wenhuai also specially invited Yin Jun to drink morning tea.
On the way to eat, Zou Wenhuai asked Yin Jun a question.
"Jun Shao, Yuan Biao, this young man, can he really become the second Hong Jinbao and the second Cheng Long?"
"Yes. ”
Yin Jun thought about it for a moment and replied.
"Why?" Zou Wenhuai continued to ask, "His appearance is even worse than Cheng Long, and his facial expression is much worse than Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao. Will such an actor be fixed in a specific role and thus unable to get out?"
Zou Wenhuai's question was to the point.
Those stars in the future are easily bound by a role, which limits their development.
Take the famous Li Lianjie as an example.
If it weren't for his own strong performance, I'm afraid he would have appeared as Huang Feihong in his life.
"Zhongxhai Bodyguard", "Jingwu Hero", "Letter to Dad", "Black Man" ...... Although these movies have the same style, they are expressed in different characters, which is the guarantee that will completely establish Li Lianjie's status in the rivers and lakes.
Cheng Long has problems in this regard.
Each of his movies actually seems to have the shadow of Chen Jiaju.
But Cheng Long's movies also have improvements, that is, the form of fighting, the form of filming, and Cheng Long's ability to make up plots that keep pace with the times, which has made Cheng Long a world-class action superstar step by step.
In his previous life, Yuan Biao's problems in this regard were even more serious.
When he was young, he was a little better, but after he was 30 years old, Yuan Biao completely became a facial paralysis and couldn't support the main body of a movie at all.
In addition, in those years, the golden age of Xiangjiang has dissipated, and it is normal for an actor like Yuan Biao, who is not a first-line superstar, to find many movies to act.
And Yuan Biao's own martial arts guidance ability is very strong, so he gradually turned behind the scenes, thus fading out of the front line of acting.
The reason is that Yuan Biao has never really been in charge, and no one has designed a road specifically for him.
The movies he usually starred in were either Cheng Long's investment or Hung Jinbao's investment, or Golden Harvest saw that he was popular and made one or two films for him.
That's all.
If from the very beginning, someone was willing to cultivate Yuan Biao and set a path for him to develop that suited his characteristics, Yuan Biao would not dare to say that he was a super-process dragon, but at least he could be compared to Hong Jinbao.
What Yin Jun has to do now is to train him at least as the second Hong Jinbao.
Whether he can become the second Cheng Long and the second Li Lianjie depends on Yuan Biao's efforts and luck.
After thinking about it, the young man said, "Appearance has never been a shortcoming of making movies, as long as his face is recognizable, has his own characteristics, and a few good scripts, he can become popular." …… Yuan Biao's attitude is serious enough and he is willing to fight, I think giving him more opportunities is also an interesting attempt. For example, this time, isn't it a success?"
Zou Wenhuai savored Yin Jun's words, and smiled after a moment, "Are you reminding me that you can open a studio for Yuan Biao?"
"Wait a minute. Yin Jun groaned, "At least wait until the filming of his second part of "Raid" is finished." When Yuan Biao is more famous and capable, Brother Sanmao will have to let go. Otherwise, the two of them will have a conflict, and no one will have a good time. ”
Zou Wenhuai slightly bowed.
Everyone knows Hung Jinbao's problems, and he is greedy for money and a little stingy.
If Yuan Biao's wings were stiff and he flew away immediately, Hong Jinbao would definitely be unhappy, so the two brothers would have a trouble.
But if the movie starring Yuan Biao has a higher box office than Hong Jinbao, and his popularity in other cities is even higher than that of Hong Jinbao, then it will be unreasonable for Hong Jinbao to forcibly keep people, and everyone will accuse him of being too greedy and selfish.
At that time, he couldn't hold on even if he wanted to.
Speaking of which, Brother Sanmao has been concentrating on his own company for the past two years, and his kung fu and filming ability have also been wasted. Yin Jun suddenly said at this time, "Uncle Huai, are you interested in our three companies working together again?"
"How to cooperate?" Zou Wenhuai perked up.
"Kirin Movie has a script and creativity, I, you, and Brother Sanmao invest, and the starring role is Brother Sanmao with a group of people, and the director still gives it to him. Yin Jun said, "The overall pattern is the same as "Raid". ”
"What kind of movie? Or is it this kind of dark style?"
"No, comedy kung fu movies. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Yes!"
"Then let's do it!"
Zou Wenhuai didn't say a word, and immediately made a decision.
He didn't even have to think about it.
As long as Yin Jun said that there is a head, then this movie must have a head.
Golden Harvest's current momentum is completely inferior to his previous life, so he doesn't have the luxury of dominating at all, as long as he can participate in the investment and join the production of the movie, it will be a victory.
Zou Wenhuai and Hong Jinbao both understand that Yin Jun is the most humane.
If this movie can make money, in the sequel after that, Yin Jun will definitely not put aside his partner and do it himself.
The sequel is definitely still being done by everyone.
In this way, after two or three movies, it is one thing to make money, which is also a great improvement for the development of fame and prestige!
