"Ace Agent" spent Zhang Xiaoye more than 6 million and nearly 7 million US dollars, far exceeding the original budget of 5 million, and all the overspending was smashed on special effects.

In fact, there are not many special effects shots in this movie, but the special effects are still very backward in these years, and the more backward the technology, the more expensive and troublesome it is to make.

Seven million US dollars, more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars, the largest stroke outside Golden Harvest, Zhang Xiaoye, whose ability has already been affirmed, has been pushed to the forefront again, although all his previous works have been successful, but this time they are still questioned.

The international market is not so easy to open, if such a huge investment is not done in the international market, it is almost difficult to recover the cost, Golden Harvest has hit a wall and bought jokes with money, can he succeed?

Because of these movies, the movie has been attracting attention since the start of filming, and with the large-scale publicity of Golden Harvest after the finalization, it has raised the attention to a new height.

Zhang Xiaoye was still not addicted, and held a premiere ceremony for the first time, many people didn't understand what it was, but the majority of the media received invitations, and the Maritime Cinema also sold hundreds of premiere tickets.

For the first time, there was a premiere ceremony for Hong Kong films, and "Ace Agent" became the first film to be fully released from 12 a.m., which was preceded by the premiere at the Maritime Cinema.

The ceremony began at half past seven in the evening, and countless media reporters who received invitations flocked to the ceremony, and the first thing they saw was a long red carpet at the entrance of the cinema, at least 50 meters.

Both sides of the brown sugar were surrounded by fans who bought tickets but didn't buy tickets, and the crowd was surging, "Zhang Xiaoye is going to hold an award ceremony, and he still has to walk the red carpet." ”

"Who knows, but I've heard that there will be a lot of big names and big stars coming this time. ”

"Is it necessary to have such a big pomp when a play is released? You see, there is still a host standing at the entrance of the theater, what is the board behind her for?"

"Who knows, just look at it. ”

The host of the scene and the ceremony was invited by Zhang Xiaoye from TVB, and behind her was of course a signature board, on which every guest who came to cheer would write their name.

Zhang Xiaoye didn't walk the red carpet himself, he took Zhou Huimin and Zhang Xiaoxian to supervise everything early, and there was no need to go back and walk again.

In addition to him, there is no one less, including Chenlong Li Sunfeng, these main creators, every group of people come, the host will contact them accordingly, ask some questions, and guide them to sign at the same time, and then there are reporters who are waiting for them.

So the main creator came early, Zhang Xiaoye was first surrounded by reporters, and asked a lot of questions about why he wanted to hold such a ceremony in a different way, and then focused on the movie.

"Zhang Xiaoye, the ace agent has invested more than 50 million yuan, is this a pure production cost?"

There is nothing to hide, Zhang Xiaoye said: "Yes, the actors' salaries and the crew's staff expenses add up to only a small part, and almost all the money is spent on the film." Of course, I am an investor, of course, needless to say, Brother Long did not get paid for starring in this play, we are working together in split accounts. ”

If you want to count the majority of the salary, that is, the two of them, if they don't count, the expenses in this area are completely negligible, good steel is used on the blade, and the investment in the film is not a throwing gun, it is really used in film production.

In this way, the production cost of "Ace Agent" is actually higher than that of "Cannonball Speed" and "Killer Trench", and the huge investment of the latter two is spent on foreign actors, which is equivalent to giving it away for nothing, and there is not much for production.

"So can you ask how you split the account with Chenlong, is it a box office dividend in a single region like Ah Sam, or a total box office dividend?"

"Sorry, it's confidential. Zhang Xiaoye decisively blocked back, he had to cooperate with the interview for the promotion of the movie, but what should be said can be said, and what should not be said cannot be said.

Xu Guanzhuo starred in "Best Partner", his salary is two million plus RB's box office account, which is known to the outside world, but only they know what the specific proportion is, and it can't be too high anyway.

The reporter caught Zhang Xiaoye and wanted to ask more, but he felt that it was almost over, so he smiled and said: "Fellow reporters, I think that if you have been paying attention to me today, you will be a bit of a sacrifice, the ceremony itself is the most important, and there will be an interview session at that time, what do you think?"

At this time, it happened that Chenlong and their main creators walked in through the red carpet, and the reporters immediately surrounded them after a burst of laughter, but Zhang Xiaoye's meaning was more than that.

The reason why he also got the red carpet ceremony out is that he knows that there will be a lot of people coming, and it is worth doing so. It's not an awards ceremony, but it's not bad at all.

In addition to the main creators, Hong Jingbao and their old acquaintances are indispensable, Zhong Chuhong and Ye Qianwen are both her women, of course, there will be no less, the Happy Girl Group and Zhao Yuzhi are artists under his company, and the external reasons are more reasonable.

In addition to Golden Harvest, now his cooperative relationship with TVB and Xinyicheng is also very good, Shao Daheng came with a group of leading actors in "Looking for Qin", Huang Baiming and Zeng Zhiwei in Xinyicheng, and even Lei Juekun, the behind-the-scenes boss.

With so many big names and so many dazzling stars, it is not only the most powerful release of Zhang Xiaoye's movie, but also the most powerful premiere of Xiangjiang movie.

If it is a small and medium-budget movie like "Happy Ghost", Zhang Xiaoye is really embarrassed to make such a big fanfare, "Ace Agent" is a high-profile blockbuster, and it is fully worthy of such a position, so there is no problem.

A red carpet ceremony took more than half an hour, and fans and reporters on both sides were dizzying, who knows who would come with so many big names, the camera film was simply not enough, and the interview questions were not prepared so much.

Under the arrangement of the host, every guest smiled and cooperated with the reporter for the interview, although most of them wished the box office a big hit, but many of them usually can't make an appointment for an interview, and this opportunity is also very rare.

Seeing such a situation and interviewing so many people, tomorrow's news has to be written, and the fans on both sides are excited to buy tickets for the premiere, and they are even more looking forward to this unclear ceremony.

If you don't have a premiere ticket, you can't wait to get to 12 o'clock right away, so that you can see for yourself what such a big movie is like.
