"It's still good to be outside. As soon as Wei Xiong entered the office, he threw himself on the sofa, with a comfortable face, he had been in the hospital for more than two months, he was so bored that he was almost moldy, if it wasn't for Lin Xueli who had been uneasy, he would have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago.
"A hospital is a hospital after all, and even a luxurious VIP room is just as uncomfortable. This is the overseas data of "The True Color of Heroes" and the preparation schedule of "A Chinese Ghost Story" just sent by Mr. Fan in the morning. Cui Muqing put the two documents in front of Wei Xiong.
Since its premiere, "The True Color of Heroes" has been released for more than two and a half months, and it has been successfully painted in Hong Kong more than a month ago, with a super box office of 35.73 million, easily surpassing "Lucky Stars" produced by Golden Harvest and becoming a new box office record in the Hong Kong film industry.
This number is slightly higher than the number in Wei Xiong's memory, and it should be that his appeal played a certain role. As early as two weeks after the release of "The True Colors of Heroes", many theaters in Taiwan came to negotiate the release of "The True Colors of Heroes" in Taiwan, but Wei Xiong was still in a coma at that time.
Fan Wei didn't dare to make a claim, but only negotiated the details of the cooperation with the theater businessman, and did not sign the contract. It wasn't until Wei Xiong's order was later that it was officially implemented. At the same time, "The True Color of Heroes" also cooperated with Shaw Brothers Cinemas in Nanyang and officially landed in Southeast Asian countries.
Due to the backwardness of the film industry in Taiwan and other countries in Nanyang, the Hong Kong market has become a vane for judging the quality of a film since the New Wave of Hong Kong films.
In the first week of release, many places were full. Taking Taiwan as an example, because the theaters are full, theater operators have to keep increasing the screening canvas, and even in this case, the film still maintains a 70% attendance rate half a month after its release, which amazes the industry.
Finally, "The True Color of Heroes" was painted in Taiwan on April 15, with a total of 40 days of release and a box office of 36.8 million Taiwan dollars, after this figure was announced, it immediately caused great repercussions in Taiwan's entertainment and media circles, you must know that in the past ten years, there is only one movie in Taiwan with a box office of more than 40 million Taiwan dollars, that is, "A Boat in the Ocean" directed by Li Xing, starring Qin Han and Lin Fengjiao.
Although the box office of "The True Color of Heroes" did not exceed NT$40 million, "A Boat in the Ocean" is a literary film born and raised in Taiwan, which naturally has local advantages, and the release cycle of "A Boat in the Ocean" is much longer than that of "The True Color of Heroes".
Later, on April 19, "The True Color of Heroes" was also fully painted in Southeast Asian countries, with a total box office of 74.9 million Hong Kong dollars, making a lot of money again. And these, when Wei Xiong was still in the hospital the night before yesterday, Fan Wei had already made a simple report on the phone.
The current document is nothing more than detailed data, and Wei Xiong casually flipped a few pages and put it aside. Picked up another document, this is the preparation schedule for "A Chinese Ghost Story", originally according to the original plan, "A Chinese Ghost Story" should at least be filming at this time.
But his accidental injury made almost all the work plans of Webster Films stopped, and even the "God of Gamblers", which had been prepared, was officially launched after he woke up, let alone "A Chinese Ghost Story", which had not yet entered the preparatory stage.
Because he is the producer and actor of the film, many things require his personal nod. In addition, the director Cheng Xiaodong he formulated just ran out of schedules, so it wasn't until about half a month ago that "A Chinese Ghost Story" finally moved from a plan on paper to the actual preparation stage.
"You inform Director Cheng and ask him to arrange the audition for the main actors tomorrow afternoon, and I will go over when the time comes. In addition you let ......"
"Ring, ring, ring, ......" Wei Xiong was saying, and the eldest brother suddenly rang: "Hey...... Well...... I had time in the evening and set a place to inform me. โ
After hanging up the phone, Wei Xiong saw that Cui Muqing was still standing, and then remembered that he hadn't finished speaking: "Where did I just go? Forget it, you go get busy first." โ
was interrupted halfway, he forgot what he wanted to say just now, after Cui Muqing went out, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was already half past nine, so he got up and walked towards the recording studio, the employees he met along the way would greet him, and he also nodded with a smile in response.
At present, there are three recording studios in Media Asia, all of which use the latest equipment imported from Japan, of which Studio 1 was previously the same, and the other two were rebuilt not long ago. Mainly, as the scale expanded, it was clear that one recording studio would not be able to meet the demand.
Pushing open the door of Studio No. 3, in addition to the recording engineer, Noriko Sakai is also there. Seeing Wei Xiong, the recording engineer just got up and greeted him very ordinarily, but Sakai Noriko bowed a big bow: "Hello boss, you have just been discharged from the hospital, it is too troublesome for you." โ
"It's a bit of a hassle, but it can't be helped, how are you preparing? Wei Xiong smiled, then walked over to the console, ready to get to work. That's right, it's work, and he will personally serve as the executive producer of Noriko Sakai's first record.
This has been determined before the Spring Festival, because there are two people who are qualified to serve as the record producer of Sakai Fazi, first of all, Luo Dayou, followed by Fu Chuan, but the problem is that Luo Dayou and Fu Chuan can't speak Japanese, and no matter how strong their professional ability is, it is useless.
So Wei Xiong can only get on the horse himself, and now his spoken language is no problem for ordinary daily communication, the key is to be able to understand it, and supervise a Japanese album with all the songs created by him, not to mention rubbing, but it is enough. But the problem soon came.
Before the recording began, he was admitted to the hospital. In desperation, Noriko Sakai's record plan had to be suspended. And this stop is more than two months, not only Sakai is in a hurry, but Wei Xiong himself is also in a hurry, so as soon as he is discharged from the hospital, he will have people arrange recording.
This time, for Sakai Noriko's album, he really put a lot of effort into it, and each song was carefully selected, and he liked it himself, namely:
