158 [Next Magazine Listing]
Luo Mingyi, who plays Uncle Xiang, is wearing a gray robe, his cheeks are deep, his cheekbones are high, and his eyes are shaking at any time. He made a gesture of singing and said, "Master, do you want to ......?"
Liu Dan, who played Feng Jingyao, narrowed his eyes, took a puff of cigarette, raised the pipe in his hand and waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let them live a few more days!" ”
...... "card!" Zheng Tai breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up, and finally finished filming.
This is the second team that Zheng Tai is in charge of, with Chen Kunhou by his side, and the filming progress is actually the fastest among the three groups.
Of course, if Cheng Xiaodong, a curious baby who has to ask everything, is not there, I'm afraid it will shoot faster. After a day's filming, Liu Dan and Luo Mingyi went back to the dressing room to remove their makeup.
Luo Mingyi, who was already in his seventies, gave Liu Dan a thumbs up, he knew that the person in front of him was only twenty years old, and it was really rare to play a role in his fifties vividly.
"Mr. Luo has won the prize." Liu Dan said with a smile that after these films, he felt more and more that this kind of performance across ages was very challenging and interesting.
It's just that the film and television circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan are all positive in the world, and once the villain is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is very difficult to change the way of acting.
On the other side of the set, Cheng Xiaodong took a notebook to record there, and stood up from time to time to make comparisons. Then he crouched down and thought for a moment, then stood up again, put on a few props and figured out the fight scene for himself.
Zheng Tai, who asked someone to clean up the guy, took a few looks, and didn't have a good impression of this young man who had been awkward with him several times, and commented: "Crazy." ”
Photographer Chen Kunhou remembered that when he was thinking about photography skills, he was also so crazy, not only did he have a good impression of Cheng Xiaodong. I admired Wang Zijun very much in my heart, and I didn't know that I had come up to kidnap such a young man with potential.
The filming task of their second group has been completed ahead of schedule, unlike Chen Daosheng's group, which is constantly procrastinating. If the quality is completely passed, Wang Zijun will admit to giving them a reward, which makes the people in the second group very happy.
Cheng Xiaodong returned home, saw his father ironing his shirt, and asked, "Do you have anything to do tomorrow?" ”
"I'm going to Federal Pictures tomorrow." Cheng Gang said.
Taiwan's film industry was very developed at this time, and the film companies on the island were basically gathered in Taipei, which was not much different from Hong Kong in terms of quantity. In addition to several major Kuomintang party-run film studios, in the past, Cathay Pacific, the Federation, and the League of Nations stood side by side, but unfortunately now Cathay Pacific and the League of Nations have closed down one after another, leaving only the Federation, and its vitality has been greatly damaged.
In addition to the operating factors of several companies, the direct cause of this result is that the cooperation between the three companies is too deep, and the dependence on Li Hanxiang's League of Nations is too heavy. Li Hanxiang was complacent in the case of box office and awards for several consecutive years, and wanted to pursue art, and then basically every drama continued to drag on time and continue to invest more, and finally not only collapsed himself, but even the time-honored Cathay Pacific in old Shanghai was dragged down by him. If it weren't for the federal corporation's quick withdrawal, it is estimated that there would be no bones left by now.
The collapse and decline of these three companies have greatly damaged the strength of Taiwan's private film companies, and a large number of key personnel have fled to Hong Kong, leaving the companies with only the ability to make some small-budget films, while several large party-run film studios are busy making patriotic propaganda films. This has become a reason for the decline of Taiwanese films.
"Dad," Cheng Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I think Wang's movie is very good, why don't you go there and film." ”
Cheng Gang smiled reluctantly and said, "If you go to the Wang family, it will be difficult to get along with Boss Shao in the future." ”
Cheng Xiaodong had nothing to say about his father's brainlessness.
…… Another week passed, and the rest of the scenes were filmed one after another, and I only needed to go to Hong Kong and Macao to make up some shots.
The Munich Olympics began a few days ago, and the entrance ceremony on August 26, due to the lack of satellite live broadcast, Wang Zijun could not see TV until the 28th in Taiwan.
This Olympic Games is the largest Olympic Games in history so far, so it has attracted great attention from all countries, and the island of Taiwan is no exception.
Many magazines have speculated about how many medals the Chinese delegation can win this time, and most people put their hopes of winning gold on Ji Zheng, but they don't know that this athlete has not even seen a bronze medal in the end.
At this time, "Bloody Lonely City" was screened in Taiwan for more than two months, and most theaters began to paint, and only a few were still showing it. In the end, the box office in Taiwan reached NT$34 million, and this data was announced through film and television magazines, which made industry insiders smash their glasses.
When they watched "Bloody Lonely City" for the first time, they thought that this movie would definitely be popular, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
Don't think that the box office of 34 million is incredible, when converted, it is only 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is about the same as the box office in Hong Kong. And a third of the box office was contributed by the call of the authorities. You must know that in 1977, the literary film "A Boat in the Ocean" starring Lin Fengjiao did not have any political interference in it, and the Taiwan box office was directly more than 40 million.
A few days later, "Bloody Lonely City" was also drawn in Hong Kong, with a final box office of 5.4 million Hong Kong dollars, successfully occupying the current annual champion of the Hong Kong box office.
The combined box office of Hong Kong and Taiwan is more than 70 million Taiwan dollars, which makes some businessmen who were not interested in movies desperately throw money into it like a shark smelling blood. For a time, Taiwanese films prospered abnormally.
And the heroes and heroines in the film, and even some supporting roles, have become many well-known stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and film appointments have come one after another.
Wang Zijun's Cantonese records have gradually spread back to Taiwan, and although few people can understand them, the beautiful melody still makes some people pay for it. What makes Taiwanese fans most angry is that Wang Zijun actually ran to release Cantonese records and forgot about them.
Just when Wang Zijun took the team to Hong Kong for filming, the news of Ji Zheng's defeat in the game finally came back. This made the people full of expectations sigh in unison, but it was not easy to criticize anything, and only a few people lost their minds and insulted.
Everyone knows that Ji Zheng has injuries.
At last year's Asian Games, when the 400-meter hurdles, Ji Zheng left the second place far behind, but suddenly fell to the ground when he was more than 70 meters away from the finish line. She got up and jumped two steps on one foot, only to fall down.
The news in the newspapers was more than a day ahead of the television footage, and that same night, several printing houses across the island were working overnight, frantically printing Next Magazine.
The next day, before dawn, freight trucks transported the impurities to bookstores and newspaper outlets.
People who go to work in the morning see the most conspicuous thing is the full-color impurities called "Next Magazine". On the cover, Ji Zheng couldn't get up after falling at the Asian Games last year, and watched the second place surpass his desperate expression.
The news of Ji Zheng's defeat in the game is now only reported by a few media outlets, and the TV station has not had any news except for a text message.
Some people seemed to be going to buy the cover, but the appalling price of the full-color magazine scared them away, and buying such a magazine was enough to buy more than three copies of a regular magazine. However, the person with a lot of money paid for it without saying a word.
The person who bought impurities naturally went to Ji Zheng, and directly opened an interview about Ji Zheng. At this time, people learned that the original "Yellow Lightning" and "Asian Antelope", which were extremely beautiful, actually had such a tragic childhood, and saw her hard work as a girl, then the glorious years of galloping on the track and field, and finally the troubles of injuries, and even a month ago the doctor said that she could not return to the field, and this time she insisted on being injured.
From sympathy, to inspiration, to success, to injury and failure, and finally to complete out, this article was written by Ning Hai himself, with ups and downs, just like a novella. After reading it, all kinds of emotions poured in, and it was not very embarrassing.
Some middle- and high-level intellectuals also became interested in the author of this article and the magazine after reading it.
If you take a closer look at the other contents, there are several columns such as "current affairs, various situations, finance, fashion, entertainment, literature and art, and character interviews", and there are subdivisions under each column.
After reading it carefully, I found that the articles in this magazine have an overall style, except for those that have to be serious, most of the others are serious and ridiculous, and even international news is very easy to read.
Soon, this beautifully packaged, rich content, and expensive magazine soon became the love of middle and high-level people, and many people even asked the secretary to directly order a whole year's "Next Magazine".
The first issue of Next Magazine had a print run of 15,000 copies. On the first day, less than 5,000 copies were sold, which made Ning Hai a little uneasy, but by the morning of the second day, after word of mouth spread, the remaining 10,000 copies were sold out directly and had to be reprinted, and the final sales reached more than 30,000 copies.
If it weren't for the fact that the price of full-color printing is too expensive, I'm afraid this sales will double.
Wang Zijun was also very happy to receive a call from Ning Hai, and believed that in the next two or three years, with the progress of Taiwan's economy, the sales of Next Magazine would continue to rise.
However, Teresa Teng, because she temporarily changed her report and cover, had to call again to apologize, saying that her report would be used in the next issue.
...... "Next Magazine" sold well, but there was an article in it that caused controversy.
Gong Liang studied economics at National Taiwan University, but he is also quite fond of sports. When I went to class this morning, I found "Next Magazine" with Ji Zheng as the cover, and I spent two days of food money to buy it.
Looking at the report on Ji Zheng, he and his friends at the same table sighed repeatedly. If you go to those interesting and entertaining articles, you can't be happy.
"Hey, what is this? "The U.S. Economic Storm Is Affecting Taiwan"! Gong Liang studied economics and was immediately attracted by this title.
The article in this economic section is a small essay, first briefly talking about the economic turmoil in the United States at the end of last year, and then mentioning its impact on European and American countries. Finally, I talked about the slight rise in prices in Taiwan in the past two months and the rapidly growing prices in Hong Kong today, and finally came to the conclusion that the economic turmoil in the United States will affect Hong Kong and Taiwan, and finally spread to Taiwan, hoping that the political axe will take corresponding measures in advance.
Gong Liang and his friends at the same table glanced at each other, ignoring the class, picking up the magazine and running towards their tutor.
