Chapter 160: Happy Girl Group

On August 17, 1982, the box office of "Happy Ghost" was released in the first week, reaching a box office record of 7.71 million weeks. In the seven days that the pen "Fun" was www.biquge.info and released, except for the box office on the first day of less than 1 million, the rest of the daily box office revenue was more than one million.

This data came out, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was speechless.

In other words, two years ago, this box office data was able to become the annual box office champion.

But now the box office has reached such an astonishing height in a week, which is reminiscent of "Best Partner" at the beginning of the year!

is also a big production, the same topicality, and at the same time, it is also an exclusive release and distribution of Golden Princess Cinemas.

With the Golden Princess Cinema Line staged again, and the box office revenue of one cinema chain exceeded that of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest combined, many industry insiders have begun to realize that Hong Kong's cinema market has really changed its dynasty.

From the monopolist of the bus industry to the new overlord of the Hong Kong cinema line, the low-key Mr. Lei Juekun has become the most influential boss in the Hong Kong film industry...... Born in a family of bus traffic since childhood, he holds 20% of the shares of Kowloon Bus, and is also the chairman of Kowloon Development Company, but Lui Juekun is surprisingly interested in the film industry. Since the early 70s, when Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were dominant, Lei Juekun had already laid out the cinema business. After ten years of grinding a sword, in 80 years, it was reorganized into the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and invested in the New Arts City Film Company, which completely changed the pattern of the Hong Kong film industry in just two years! If you say that in the first two years, the Golden Princess was only on a par with Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. As of August this year, the total box office income of the Golden Princess Cinema has exceeded 150 million, which is equivalent to the sum of the cumulative box office of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest Cinema in the same period, and the box office income of 20 theaters is no less than the box office income of the opponent's 40 theaters, which shows Lei Juekun's ability! The reason why Mr. Lei Juekun can succeed is more due to his unique insights into the film industry, whether it is investing in a new art city that shines, or a new alliance, it can be called a wonderful move.

As for the other giant, Mr. Lin Qi, it is difficult for the author to evaluate it, after all, Lin Qi can become a grandmaster of a school of writing, although he boasted of his originator in the early days, however, in the past two years, there have been no less than 100 kinds of works in Hong Kong that follow the trend, and most of the fantasy that follows the trend can sell tens of thousands, and the few can sell thousands of copies, which is in stark contrast to the miserable martial arts novels.

Although the author does not play video games, however, you can see neighbors everywhere who use handheld computers as daily pastimes, you can know how fat their career is. The author once asked the game expert, why the new entrepreneurial electronic game can sell so hot, friends simply commented, fun!

That's right, it's fun, and there is no need for any complicated reason, which has caused the unprecedented success of the new start-up electronics, and there is almost no second case in Hong Kong, which can rise in such a short time as the new start-up idea. In order to write the manuscript of why "Happy Ghost" can be successful, the author has walked into the cinema many times to watch the movie, and contributed no less than 60 Hong Kong dollars to it. By the time the editor received the manuscript, he could only simply talk about it and comment on it, "It's good-looking!" That's right, I don't know where to start with the reasons that I made up at the time, because there are so many advantages that I can't explain it all without writing a monograph, and if it's simpler, there are only two words left -- good-looking......"

Wang Qinian, a third-rate film critic in Hong Kong, was unintentionally selected for a word-making manuscript in "Film Fortnightly", but it was surprisingly well received.

began to be continuously invited by the industry, and his manuscripts were out of the pattern of ordinary star directors and films, basically aiming at the industry pattern and the planning of the big guys behind them, although most of them were imagined by him, but because there happened to be some analysis that coincided with reality, it was sought after by a large number of readers.

The reason why this is the case is because those who really mix in the film and television industry are often cautious and dare not speak indiscriminately, and they will inevitably accidentally violate the taboo of the big guy and be banned. Wang Qinian is an amateur ticket, after all, he is not his real name, even if his pen name is blocked, it doesn't matter. It's better to take advantage of someone's request to cheat a little more silver paper.

……

When the "Happy Ghost" movie was in full swing in August, the Happy Girl Group was also in the company's intense rehearsals.

The members of the girl group are all girl actors who have performed in movies.

On the one hand, it is to borrow the popularity of movies, and on the other hand, the new semester is about to start, and Zhou Huimin, the youngest in the girl group, wants to continue her studies. Therefore, the girl group will only have time to get together for activities during the holiday period.

So, try to have a concert in August!

When the company's agent informed them that there would be a concert in the near future, and the teacher arranged for them to rehearse, the girls were a little nervous.

"Do you really want to have a concert?" Weng Meiling said, "in front of so many audiences?"

Weng Meiling is in the crew, older than other girls, and she considers herself a big sister, but she usually doesn't see depression, but is very cheerful. At the same time, she can't see the nervousness in filming, after all, she knows that this is work, as long as she does a good job arranged by the director, and if she doesn't understand, she can ask other old people in the crew for advice.

But now she's not ready to put on a live show in front of thousands of people.

"I wanted to go on stage, but the agent wouldn't let me, why?" Maggie Cheung was a little aggrieved and felt that her nose was a little sour.

"Why?" Weng Meiling, Du Lisha, and Zhou Huimin held back their laughter, just in the recording studio, her soul singing voice made the music teachers present feel mentally devastated.

After that, the agent wrote down a sentence in the notebook "I have a talent for film and television performance, not suitable for singing", the company did not invite a master to pack and guide, but found more than a dozen master-level music producers from Polygram, and they all shook their heads and sighed, saying that Maggie Cheung is not suitable for the direction of singers.

In this way, among the members of the Happy Girl Group, there are plans to cultivate audio-visual dual-line development, but Maggie Cheung will not sing on the same stage with other girls because of her poor singing voice.

However, as compensation, Maggie Cheung's film and television contracts will be more, and the company plans to prepare Maggie Cheung to the position of the queen of the film industry.

At present, among the company's potential stars, almost girls are in charge.

Maggie Cheung is very photogenic, and both the director and the cinematographer feel that she is born to be the material for filming. In the plot of "Happy Ghost", Maggie Cheung almost snatched the lens of the starring Weng Meiling, so that the photographer had to find a way to weaken her sense of existence.

As for Du Lisha, she plays the old and ugly head teacher in the movie, in fact, she is not very old, and if she dresses up a little, she can be arranged in the girl group. Du Lisha, who was born in a musical family, made her debut in the Japanese music scene in the early days, and only came to Hong Kong to develop in 81 years, and released her first Cantonese record "Love and Hate Miao", and her musical talent was soon discovered by the industry. If the "Happy Ghost" movie does not have her singing the theme song, it may be a little bit dull.

Not to mention Zhou Huimin, she was a diva in the film and music worlds, but she didn't become popular until the nineties, but soon began to retire again. Of course, compared to her musical attainments and talents, Zhou Huimin is inferior to Du Lisha. But the entertainment industry is about appearance, Du Lisha is powerful, but the record can't sell to Zhou Huimin's height.

Regarding the company's current situation, Huang Xizhao also thought that Lin Qi did it deliberately, because many potential seedlings were Lin Qi asked the company to sign a contract according to the list information. But in fact, Lin Qi was really wronged, because ...... Lin Qi is just subconsciously reluctant to sign too many male stars, which makes the company seem guyy.
