Chapter 45: The Movie Release
After the movie was filmed, now Zhang Yi is waiting for the movie to be released, and then he will make a lot of money.
In order to have a good box office after the movie was released, Zhang Yi also deliberately checked what competitors were during the release of the movie? Zhang Yi thought to himself, don't meet any powerful opponents, I don't know how much the box office of the hero's true colors will be divided away at that time, now Zhang Yi is like a hero's true colors After the release, the box office is high, and then he will be able to make more money, and then he will have enough funds to make more Hong Kong classic movies, and then after the filming, he can earn more money, and then he can also invest in other industries, earn more money, and become a tycoon who is richer than Li Ka-shing, even if it is Bill Gates, he will be trampled under his feet。
After Zhang Yi checked, he found that it was originally released at the same time as the hero's true colors, and there was also a classic Hong Kong movie, Modern Bodyguard.
Modern Bodyguard is a film directed and acted by Xu Guanwen.
This movie is starring the three Hui brothers, and the modern bodyguard even sent Xu Guanwen to the throne of Best Actor at the first Hong Kong Film Awards.
After Zhang Yi saw the release of this movie, he couldn't help but feel worried, although the true character of the hero, he is confident, surpassing the box office of the modern bodyguard, but the Hong Kong box office is so much, joining a powerful opponent and competing with himself, then it is likely to lead to the true character of the hero, the box office of this movie is not as high as in the previous life, therefore, Zhang Yi is now very worried, if the movie is released at this time, when the time comes, it is very likely that the box office of the hero's true character will weaken a lot, so Zhang Yi had to decide to postpone the release of the movie, in order to avoid the modern bodyguard, maybe the box office of the movie is not as high as the competition of strong opponents, can also surpass the box office of the previous life, after all, if there is no strong opponent to compete when the hero's true colors are released, then the hero's true colors are definitely crushing the existence of other movies, so in order to avoid other opponents competing with the hero's true colors, Zhang Yi decided to adjust the movie to a time when the competitiveness is less, so that the box office will only get higher and higher, plus the hero's true colors, it is a very good movie, so that he is very confident that the box office results will surpass the box office results of his previous life, so that Zhang Yi can also earn more, Zhang Yi thought of the benefits of this and quickly found someone to delay the release of this movie to avoid it competing with modern bodyguards, and therefore reduce Zhang Yi's income?
It's a pity that when Zhang Yi first arrived in Hong Kong, he didn't know anyone, so he had to go to find John Woo.
"Director John Woo, I'm Zhang Yi, are you free now? If so, it's in the café opposite TVB, I have something to look for you. ”
John Woo is now resting at home, after the filming of the true colors of the hero, he basically stays at home, rarely goes out, just waiting for the movie to be released, John Woo now thinks of the huge fame and benefits brought by the release of the true colors of the hero, he can't sleep happily all day long, and he can't sleep happily all day long, and he can't wait for the movie to be released soon, as soon as John Woo heard that Zhang Yi wanted to see him, he hurried out to find Zhang Yi.
John Woo soon came to the café opposite TVB, and Zhang Yi also arrived soon.
As soon as Wu Yusen saw Zhang Yi, he asked Zhang Yi: "What happened to Mr. Zhang? ”
Zhang Yi saw Wu Yusen ask this, so he said straight to the point: "That's the case, I went to check it today, some movies released at the same time as our movie, I think only one modern bodyguard can compete with us, so I wonder if I can postpone the release of the movie to avoid Morden bodyguard from competing with us for the box office." ”
When Wu Yusen saw Zhang Yi say this, he also felt that it made sense.
He also knows that the movie Modern Bodyguard is starring the three Hui brothers, the three Hui brothers, are famous actors and singers in Hong Kong, they are very famous in Hong Kong, and their movies are also very popular, if their movies are released at the same time as their own movies, it will indeed have a great impact on their own movies.
But John Woo thinks that it should be released at the same time as the movie of Modern Bodyguard, compete with him, and see if his Modern Bodyguard is powerful, or his hero nature is great.
In the final analysis, John Woo still wants to save face?
He is afraid that after his movie is broadcast in the future, even if it achieves a high box office, some people will compare his heroic nature with the modern bodyguard, saying that he does not dare to release it at the same time as the modern bodyguard and postpone the release, which is a very shameful thing for John Woo, how can he agree with John Woo's character.
But John Woo thought that Zhang Yi was the investor of this movie after all, and if he wanted to compete with modern bodyguards, he finally had to agree to it.
But Zhang Yi is different from John Woo, he doesn't think as much as John Woo, John Woo wants face, and Zhang Yi's career is just starting now, he needs a lot of money to expand his career, he has so many classic Hong Kong movies in his head, he can't wait to make them all and make a lot of money, but it takes a lot of money to make a movie, and Zhang Yi doesn't have so much money, so Zhang Yi wants to make movies as soon as possible, and shoot them all early, so as not to be filmed by others in the future, he will have no money to make at that time, so Zhang Yi doesn't want to compete with modern bodyguards now, this will only bring disadvantages to the true character of the hero, after all, now the true character of the hero, make more money, Zhang Yi may make one more movie.
John Woo is a director, and Zhang Yi is a businessman, John Woo thinks about face, while Zhang Yi thinks about money.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't think we need to postpone the release of Modern Bodyguard, I think our movie is better than Modern Bodyguard, and we have the strength to compete with it and defeat it. ”
"Besides, even if it is postponed, there may be other good movies coming out in the future, we can't always postpone it, plus even if there are modern bodyguards competing with us for the box office, but as long as our movies are made well, we can still achieve high box office, Hong Kong's economy is now developing very well, and Hong Kong citizens are now quite rich in their pockets, they can watch modern bodyguards and then watch our movies, so that our movie box office will not have any impact. ”
"In addition, as long as we shoot better than the modern bodyguard, we can step on the modern bodyguard to get on the top, and then get a better box office, and I will contact some media reporter friends to help us promote it well, and the box office will be hot at that time." ”
Zhang Yi listened to Wu Yusen's words and felt that it made sense, although Zhang Yi postponed the release of his true character as a hero, he was not afraid of modern bodyguards, just to make more money, and then he would have enough money to make movies.
So Zhang Yi agreed to Wu Yusen.
"Well, I won't postpone the release of the hero's true colors. ”
Wu Yusen listened to Zhang Yi's words and said happily: "Great, Mr. Zhang, you will not be disappointed by this decision, I am confident that I will be able to defeat the modern bodyguard, and then you will wait to see how our movie will trample the modern bodyguard under your feet, and after the movie is released, you will wait to make a lot of money." Wu Yusen heard that Zhang Yi promised himself, and hurriedly promised Zhang Yi.
