152 [Camera Boot] (Plus more for full order)

The news that Debao won a dividend of "Zombie Family" with 3.4 million Hong Kong dollars shocked several major film companies after it was announced in the summer.

You must know that in the eyes of several large companies, Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate" is much more guaranteed at the box office than Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family".

Unexpectedly, the current result is that Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family" is more optimistic than Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate", which is really surprising.

However, several major film companies have also seen through these two bids that this kind of "crowdfunding" in the summer is really not a joke, and they have so easily obtained the funds for filming.

Whether it is Xu Guanwen's "Detective Chocolate" or Lin Zhengying's "Zombie Family", the cost should be less than nine million Hong Kong dollars. But now in the summer, only 30% of the box office proceeds have been auctioned, and more than 9 million shooting funds have been obtained.

It is equivalent to him only writing a script and forming a project, and he alone shared two local box office costs and ninety percent of the overseas sales port expenses.

The ability of this white wolf with empty gloves is really breathtaking, and I can't help but be amazed. It has also made many self-paying filmmakers in Hong Kong ready to move, wanting to follow the practice of summer and also engage in "crowdfunding" to take advantage of themselves.

……

In the next four bidding meetings, the remaining two reds of "Detective Chocolate" were won by Siyuan Pictures for 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars and Golden Harvest Pictures for 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars.

The remaining two reds of "Zombie Family" were won by Xinyicheng for 3.3 million Hong Kong dollars and Darong for 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

After seeing that they didn't buy their cinema operators in the summer, the three major companies of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Xinyicheng were no longer hypocritical and raised their prices one after another. After all, in these years, no one will have trouble with money.

As a result, "Detective Chocolate" got 10.6 million filming funds. "Zombie Family" got 10.2 million filming funds.

There was an extra 30 million Hong Kong dollars in his hand at once, and the problem of funds in the summer was completely solved. Not only will he be able to launch four films at the same time, but he will also have four or five million in reserve, which will be enough for him to deal with many tricky events.

……

The funds were in place, and the filming of four films began one after another.

The first to start filming was Yuan Kui's "Overlord Flower".

He is very capable of doing things, after talking to Summer. When I went back the same day, I started to form a crew. Calling friends, the crew was soon prepared neatly.

Even after receiving his transatlantic call, the foreign mother-in-law Luo Flo rushed to Hong Kong by plane from the United States the next day.

Therefore, the film started filming first, and on the day of the opening ceremony, I went to the crew in the summer and took the crew to worship God.

"You're the boss, oh my God!" said Lovelo in surprise when he saw that Summer, who was a producer, was so young, as if she was still underage.

In Hollywood. Producers have to be at least thirty years old. Because as a producer, you must not only have connections and financing channels, but more importantly, you must understand the film and the market.

If you don't work in the film industry for a few years, you can't be a producer at all. And no matter how you look at it in the summer, he is still a child, has he been engaged in the film industry since his mother's womb?!

Summer English is just half a bottle of water, look OK. The conversation is clumsy. Fortunately, he could still understand these two sentences, so he smiled and nodded. After shaking hands with Loflo, he hurriedly flashed.

"Hu, is he really the producer of this film?" Luo Flo was still a little unconvinced, and asked Hu Huizhong beside him suspiciously.

Hu Huizhong's English is much stronger than in the summer, no matter how you say it, everyone is a scholar, and he is also a top student at National Taiwan University. Moreover, Taiwan has always been close to the United States. is proud to be able to immigrate to the United States, and Taiwanese stars such as Lin Qingxia , Qin Xianglin , Fei Xiang , Liu Wenzheng , etc., have all retired in the United States. Therefore, the enthusiasm of Taiwanese people to learn English at that time was extremely high, and it became a common practice.

"Of course, he's not just a producer. And also very good film directors and screenwriters. Hu Huizhong said proudly.

"Wow, he's amazing. Loflor said admiringly.

Hu Huizhong couldn't help but smile even more happily when he saw her praising summer.

……

The film project that was launched was "Zombie Family".

Lin Zhengying and Xia starred in the leads, and the team is still the same as the original "Mr. Zombie", which has already cooperated tacitly, and the shooting went smoothly naturally.

The launch ceremony of "Zombie Family" is no longer as sneaky as "Mr. Zombie". Because now they are not what they used to be.

Lin Zhengying was promoted from the 10,000-year-old green leaves of the Hong family class to today's popular male star, and the 20 million director hat in the summer is also more stable, and his popularity has also soared. In addition, zombie movies are the hottest subject nowadays, so the media is naturally very concerned.

On the day of the opening ceremony, more than 20 media reporters came, which made Summer a little surprised.

"Director Xia, since your "Mr. Zombie" became a big hit, there are now at least ten film companies rushing to make zombie films, are you worried that the box office of your movie will be affected?" asked a reporter.

Summer smiled, he was also very helpless about this phenomenon of following the trend and shooting randomly, but there was no way. Zombie films were not invented by him, they will not be protected by patents, and he can't stop others from making zombie films. Not to mention him, even Hollywood studios are helpless when they follow suit.

"To be honest, I'm not worried. Summer waved his hand.

"Really?" the reporter was a little incredulous. The so-called peers are enemies, and now so many film companies are making zombie movies, which will definitely have an impact on the summer.

"Really. You see that there are so many clothing brands now, but aren't Chanel and Burberry still selling very well?" said Xia with a smile, "The script for my new film has been written since before the filming of "Mr. Zombie" started, and it took five revisions before it was finalized. It can be described as meticulously crafted and well-intentioned. ”

"And the total investment of my drama will be as high as 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is double the production cost of "Mr. Zombie". Therefore, I can assure you that this drama is even better than "Mr. Zombie", and I guarantee that it will not waste everyone's movie ticket money. Summer said with great confidence.

"Wow, a 10 million Hong Kong dollar investment! When the reporters heard this, they were all surprised.

In '85, an investment of 10 million Hong Kong dollars was considered a big production.

Although a big production is not equal to a good film, in people's hearts, they still agree with the truth that you get what you pay for. Now that I heard that this new drama in the summer cost 10 million to make, I can't help but look forward to this movie.

……

After "Zombie Family" was launched, "Detective Chocolate" was also launched.

Xu Guanwen is serious in his work, and the preliminary preparations have taken a little longer.

The king of comedy is back in the rivers and lakes to start filming a new film, and he cooperates with the popular female singer Mei Yanfang, and the script is still written by Summer, which is naturally particularly eye-catching.

In addition, Xu Guanying returned again, and the brothers were combined. Hu Huizhong's overlord flower does not sell kung fu to show off his cooking skills, and he is also very gimmicky, and the media is naturally very concerned.

Therefore, the day of the opening ceremony was very lively, which was even more eye-catching than the start of filming "Zombie Family" in the summer, which shows that Xu Guanwen's name as the king of comedy is not called in vain.

"Mr. Xia, help me introduce you, Miss Mei Yanfang. Xu Guanwen introduced to Summer.

"Miss Mei, hello!" Seeing Mei Yanfang in the summer, she couldn't help but be a little excited.

Hong Kong's four major actresses, one of the "Xia Yu Fanghong", not only have good acting skills, but also sing better. has only been debuted for three years, and now she has become the most popular actress in the Hong Kong film industry, with record sales reaching 400,000 copies. On average, one in ten people in Hong Kong is her fan, which shows how popular she is.

Summer was also one of her fans in her previous life, and she liked her song "Woman Flower" more. However, it is said that Mei Yanfang herself does not like this song, and feels that this song is too resentful and pessimistic, which does not match her optimistic personality.

"Mr. Xia, hello!" Mei Yanfang couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Xia. It's so young.

In fact, she herself is only twenty-two years old, only two years older than Summer. But because she has performed on stage since she was a child, she has deep social experience, so her external temperament is more mature. Compared to Summer, it was as if he was five or six years older than him.

"With Miss Mei joining our play, the box office of our play is more certain. "Summer greetings again.

"I would like to thank Mr. Xu for giving me this opportunity. Mei Yanfang also said sincerely.

Although she is now relatively popular in the music industry, she is still only a newcomer in the film industry. This time to be able to cooperate with Xu Guanwen, the king of comedy, is a rare opportunity for her. Therefore, as soon as Xu Guanwen sent out the invitation, Mei Yanfang immediately urged the company to agree, and she didn't even fight for the remuneration.

……

The three films have started one after another, and the grand exhibition of the world's film industry is booming, and I am very happy in the summer.

But unexpectedly, "The True Color of Heroes" stuck.

It turned out that Zhang Guorong, one of the leading actors, was unwilling to appear in this movie, which surprised Summer.

He remembered that he had watched an interview before, Zhang Guorong was very happy to make this movie, and when the crew was short of money, he even offered to lend money to the crew.

Why has everything changed again?!

Although Wu Yusen suggested that other students could be replaced to play Ajie, Xia still decided to try to persuade Zhang Guorong first. If you can persuade it, then it is the best, if you can't persuade it, then think of other ways.

Because Zhang Guorong is very important to him, he also wants him to help shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Rouge Buckle", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Happy Family".

There are so many blockbuster movies waiting for him to shoot, and Summer doesn't want to miss him. Because Zhang Guorong is unique, no male star in Hong Kong can take his place. (To be continued.) )
