In this life, because "God of Gamblers 2" has been released a few years ago, the pure Hong Kong film is led by Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist 2" (box office: 40.97 million Hong Kong dollars), followed by Zhou Yanfa's "Citi Shaolin" (box office: 37 million Hong Kong dollars), followed by Zhou Xingchi's "King of Destruction" (box office: 36.9 million Hong Kong dollars), by the way, because Zhong Lidi in this life did not enter the film and television industry, the heroine of "The King of Destruction" was played by Qiu Shuzhen, and the starry New Year comedy " " The House of the Rich (box office: 37.3 million) is also a good performer, and it is the only pure Hong Kong film in this year's Chinese New Year file that can compete with the films of the Double Week.

But-

Double Monday Cheng and "The House of the Rich" can also compete for dominance in pure Hong Kong films, and the real box office champion of this year's Xiangjiang Port, no, it should be the top three, none of which have a double Monday success.

The box office champion of this year's Lunar New Year stall is the thriller sci-fi film "Resident Evil" directed by Xu Cun, producer Lin Zhengying, starring Yang Ziqiong and American actress Michelle Rodriguez.

In the last life, in this period, due to too much shoddy production, the audience began to get tired of zombie-themed movies, coupled with Wang Jing's gambling films and Xu Ke's martial arts films began to become popular, the film dealers heard the wind and changed to gambling films and martial arts films, and few people dared to involve the extremely popular zombie-themed movies for a while, and in fact, the zombie movies at that time were indeed difficult to return, although Lin Zhengying made such a collection of Maoshan spells, exotic customs, and comedy cards such as the funny movie "African Monk" God is also crazy", as well as the kind zombie ancestor vs. African giants and many other wonderful creative works, but in the end it is still powerless, Lin Zhengying's film career also showed a downhill road, and later Lin Zhengying, who didn't even have the opportunity to make a movie, could only turn to the film field to shoot the first, second and third parts of "Zombie Dao Chief", saving him from a strange star journey.

In this life, with Xu Cun's help and full support, Lin Zhengying sharpened his sword for two years and directed "Resident Evil", the first thriller science fiction movie in Xiangjiang.

Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" is actually very different from the taste of "Resident Evil" in the previous life - the biggest difference is that Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" directly uses 3D technology.

But-

Although Lin Zhengying directly used 3D technology, and Xu was behind him to direct, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" and the previous life's "Resident Evil" still have their own merits, at least Xu Cun thinks so.

This is not surprising, although Xu Cun can give Lin Zhengying the idea of "Resident Evil", and can also give Lin Zhengying a certain direction, but the busy Xu Cun cannot do everything, therefore, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" inevitably integrates the will of Lin Zhengying, the director and Yang Ziqiong and other actors, to put it simply, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" is less thriller than the previous life's "Resident Evil", and inevitably integrates a little black humor, and it is also more fancy and better looking at the fight.

Regarding the changes in "Resident Evil", Xu Cun sincerely said that it was not good or bad.

Before the release of "Resident Evil", Xu Cun watched it from the audience's perspective, and then felt that Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" was also very interesting, especially watching those thriller scenes made by Lin Zhengying under 3D effects, which was particularly exciting!

In addition, although Xu Cun can't say whether the changes in "Resident Evil" are good or bad, Xu Cun can be sure that "Resident Evil" will be Lin Zhengying's movie in the future, and others can't snatch it if they want to, including him Xu Cun and Paul Anderson, the director of "Resident Evil" in the previous life.

This also saved Xu Cun a lot of work - when making the follow-up film to "Resident Evil", Xu Cun no longer had to be the executive producer himself.

After the release of "Resident Evil", although many viewers were scolding DreamWorks and Lin Zhengying for showing them the disgusting thing "Resident Evil" during the New Year, the box office of "Resident Evil", including the reputation of the industry, was shaky ahead of other movies.

So much so that before "Resident Evil" was completely drawn, its box office was close to 60 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the most promising movie to catch up with the box office miracle that "Jurassic Park" had created in Hong Kong!

Moreover, the box office of "Resident Evil" is not only fierce in Xiangjiang, but also in other regions, especially in Europe and the United States!

According to conservative estimates, the total global box office of "Resident Evil" is as high as $640 million, which is conservatively estimated to make $300 million for DreamWorks, not counting the income from videotapes, DVDs and peripherals.

It is no exaggeration to say that with "Resident Evil", Lin Zhengying has defeated Wang Jing, Xu Ke, Li Huan, Chen Xunqi, Wu Yusen and others to temporarily become the second best-selling director in Xiangjiang.

The box office runner-up of this year's Lunar New Year stall is China Star's "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The Xiang brothers spent more than 100 million US dollars to invest in the filming of "Guardians of the Galaxy", which won 58 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Xiangjiang and 594 million US dollars worldwide.

Moreover, this is only the intuitive income of the box office, not the hidden income - after the earth-shattering results of "Guardians of the Galaxy", the stock of China Star soared by more than 60% in a very short period of time!

With the movie "Resident Evil" alone, the net worth of the Xiang brothers can be said to have doubled!

The third runner-up in this year's Lunar New Year box office was the animated film "The Lion King" produced by Jeffrey, the general manager of DreamWorks Pictures (USA), which grossed more than HK$55 million in Hong Kong, US$310 million in North America and US$580 million worldwide.

Judging from the box office results achieved by these seven films, today's Xiangjiang movies not only show no signs of decline, but are becoming more and more prosperous.

But this is not the case.

Not to mention anything else, after "The King of Destruction", none of the other movies in the Lunar New Year file even exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

After the two films of more than 10 million, "*****" and "The Banner of the Dragon Gambling Saint Wins", almost all of the other films have box office of less than 4 million, so that the film company can't even get back, if there are still video tape channels for them, they all have to pay to death.

People in the film industry have begun to call on the government to set up a "Film Development Bureau" to save Hong Kong films from the crisis.

It was also at this time that a film company with a pivotal position in the history of Xiangjiang film was established......
