Chapter 078: A Trip to HK
Li Xiang really experienced the hard work of the roadshow this time, because this time not only the domestic box office needs to be taken into account, but also HK and Wanwan, after all, both places contributed a good box office in the first week.
"The Talented Gunman" won the first week box office of HK$5.54 million in HK, and if this trend continues, it will eventually become the highest box office record holder for a mainland film in HK.
At the same time, there is also good news from Wanwan, Li Xiang's two works have encountered unadaptability and have not achieved any good results, this time "Genius Gunman" is a shame, and it directly won NT$70 million in the first week of release.
So it is reasonable and reasonable, Li Xiang has to go to the two places to show his portrait, accompanied by Xiaoxiao, Huang Xuan, Kan Qingzi and Chen Xiao.
These four people have been in a state of blindfold these days, which is normal! After all, they were all unknown small characters before, but now with the popularity of this gunman, it can be regarded as the first taste of popularity.
Needless to say, Huang Xuan came to the news that many invitations to TV series were sent to Feixiang Studio, Xiaoxiao and the other three were all invited, and he was screening the script to see if there were any suitable three.
Huang Xuan received a movie in which her future was cut to only one shot - "The Night of the Spring Breeze Drunk", this is fate, but without Director Lou Huohua, there can be no future literary male god.
According to the trajectory, there are also Song Xiaofei's gang, they went to Ning Hao to tinker with "Crazy Racing", which is also an important work for ghost directors to consolidate their position, after all, they are all people from Victory, and they are naturally close to each other.
Lao Liu once asked Li Xiang if he wanted to sign Ning Hao, Li Xiang did not agree, now Ning Hao and the pony toss is the honeymoon period, not to mention the difficulty of poaching, the pony toss will definitely not release people, and when "No Man's Land" is banned later, when the pony turns his head to support the white pigeon, it is not too late to dig Ning Hao.
Lao Liu rolled his eyes and complained: "You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, let's be a director and screenwriter for you, and the TV series on the other side of Yu Zheng is still not a word, we can't sit and eat empty, right?"
Li Xiang also discovered this problem, so he said: "When I finish promoting the gunman and ponder a TV drama script, let's find someone to shoot it, what do you think?"
···
After less than 3 months, Li Xiang set foot on the land of HK again, and this time he came to the roadshow.
At the same time, there is also good news in the Southeast Asian market that Yindu is responsible for, "Genius Gunman" has also achieved good results in Southeast Asian countries, and even broke the single-day highest box office record in several countries, such as the country where the original film was produced - Savadika.
Thailand is an amazing country, and there are several genres that are specific to this country that do quite well, such as horror and comedy.
In his previous life, Li Xiang was most impressed by the particularly scary classic horror film "Ghost".
As a horror film director, not knowing the advice of your peers is simply an insult to your profession.
Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals are not allowed to become spirits, and ghosts are not allowed to appear in ghost movies, this does not prevent Li from wanting to watch foreign horror films, and even copycat classic horror movie posters are used as the promotion of his own movies.
To be honest, I really made a lot of money at that time, although I was burdened with a lot of infamy, but the existence is reasonable, for example, there are many slings who can't find resources, so I like to watch Li Xiang's plastic surgery monsters, 18-line tender models, and peripheral women in horror movies to solve their own problems.
Invisibly, he is also doing a noble thing of spreading laughter and love, Li Xiang thought shamelessly.
Li Xiang and his entourage came to HK at this point in time, and happened to catch up with the box office of "Genius Gunman" to exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars. What is there to celebrate with 10 million, Li Xiang pursed his lips and complained.
What he doesn't know is that there are very few mainland films that get a high box office in HK, and the only few films are the works of those fifth-generation directors, and as for the younger generation like Li Xiang, none of them have done it except Li Xiang.
Yindu held a celebration banquet at the Sheraton Hotel, and also invited many Hong Kong showbiz people to attend.
After all, it was the first time for Xiaoxiao and the others to participate in such a celebration party, and with the help of Li Xiang, they avoided a lot of embarrassment, but fortunately, they were all smart people and had strong adaptability, and they quickly integrated into the atmosphere.
Li Xiang was light and was about to get something to eat, he hadn't eaten for 8 hours since he got off the plane, and he was hungry enough to eat a cow at the moment.
took some pastries or something at random to cushion his stomach first, a figure blocked his vision, Li Xiang looked up, and met the actor Huang Yusheng of !HK.
"Congratulations to Director Li, you have achieved such excellent results at such a young age!" Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, although Li Xiang has a very bad sense of this, but after all, people are polite, and you can't say anything.
"Where, what is my achievement?" Li Xiang said modestly, it is true, the box office record of HK is more than 60 million for Xing Ye's "Kung Fu", and it is basically impossible for his "Genius Gunman" to catch up.
"Director Li, don't be modest, you are the third mainlander who has achieved such good results in HK! You must know that the audience of HK is very picky!" Huang Yusheng said with honey confidence.
"Oh..." Li Xiang didn't want to scold him, but as a result, this guy became more and more energetic, starting from how brilliant the HK movie was, which made Li Xiang annoyed, but that non-standard Mandarin made Li Xiang accept it.
"So Director Li, since you have cooperated with HK, why don't you use HK's actors?" asked Huang Yusheng bitterly.
"I like live sound recording when filming, and I don't like post-dubbing, so I attach great importance to an actor's line skills, and the current HK new generation of actors, I think we still need to continue to hone it!" Li Xiang was tired of listening to Huang Earthworm's nagging, and kept telling him verbally.
The Tao is not the same, Huang Yusheng did not convince Li Xiang, glanced at Li Xiang with some resentment, and turned back to the position where he was sitting just now.
"What did Huang Yusheng say to you?" Song Song walked over and asked.
"It's okay, he wants me to give him a chance!"
"How do you give him a chance? Huh? Why is this word so familiar? Isn't this the words in "Infernal Affairs"?" Song Dynasty reacted and rolled his eyes.
"It's really annoying to rely on the old and sell the old!" Li Xiang said to his senses about the yellow earthworm.
"Don't worry! The boss has long been unaccustomed to seeing some people's style, this yellow earthworm will hit the muzzle of the gun sooner or later, and you don't have to sulk for an irrelevant person, it's not worth it!" Song Song said with a smile, obviously with clear instructions from above.
