After the launch conference of "I Know a Woman's Heart", the reporters present did not leave immediately, but waited at the door of the hotel.

The accompanying bodyguard stepped forward to stop the reporter, and Lin Youlun walked out of the hotel quickly and got into a car parked at the door.

The driver took Lin Youlun around the hotel, and after the last mistake, he went back to the hotel parking lot unconsciously, the car door opened, and Ma Rongcheng sat in.

Lin Youlun closed the newspaper in his hand and glanced at Ma Rongcheng.

"Ma Zai, is there anything you want me to do?"

"Mr. Lin, the sales volume of the first issue of The King of Fighters magazine has been counted, and this is the company's report on doing a good job."

Ma Rongcheng took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Lin Youlun with both hands.

Lin Youlun opened it and looked at it twice, the only thing he cared about was the sales of this comic, because it was related to the timing of the next movie shooting.

When he saw the data of 230,000 single volumes, Lin Youlun couldn't help but be a little moved.

In the past two years, due to the impact of Japanese comics, the Hong Kong comic market has not been very good, and the sales of the first issue of the "King of Fighters" comics are actually more than the record of 200,000 copies sold in the first issue of "Chinese Heroes", which greatly surprised Lin Youlun.

I thought I was underestimating the power of this kind of combined marketing, and since the "King of Fighters" comic book was so popular, coupled with the popularity of the "King of Fighters" game, the schedule of the live-action movie could be advanced.

Lin Youlun pondered this in his heart, Ma Rongcheng didn't bother, but at the same time. Huang Yuyun also got a data report on the sales statistics of the "King of Fighters" comics.

Huang Yuxun's mood was heavy.

"Dragon Tiger Gate" was painted three days ago. The total box office is 30.23 million. Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are all selling well, for such a high-investment movie, it is already a good result to be able to recover the cost and make a small profit, but whether it is Huang Yuyang or Lin Jianyue, they are not very satisfied with this.

Because "Chinese Heroes", which was released at the same time, continues to be reflected in theaters, the reason is that the box office of this movie has not yet fallen to the standard of mandatory painting, and the recent box office data shows that the box office of "Chinese Heroes" in Hong Kong has exceeded 40 million.

A vigorous box office battle. After the last episode, "Dragon Tiger Gate" ended dismally with a box office of nearly 10 million behind its opponents, and this is not the most disappointing for Huang Yuxun.

The most difficult thing for him to accept is the sales data of the "King of Fighters" comics in front of him.

Huang Yuyun's masterpiece "The Legend of the Son of Heaven" after his re-emergence from the mountain, now the highest sales of a single volume are only more than 100,000 copies, and "The King of Fighters" has only sold so well since the first volume was published, and I am afraid that the sales will increase in the later period.

The popularity of the game has driven the hot sales of comics, and the hot sales of comics will further promote the popularity of the game.

Huang Yuyun also thought about making "The Legend of the Son of Heaven" into a game, but negotiations with several game manufacturers have not progressed for a long time. And in terms of the type of game adaptation, Huang Yuxun and game manufacturers also have a lot of differences.

Huang Yuyun hopes that "The Legend of the Son of Heaven" will be adapted into a fighting game like "The King of Fighters". However, game manufacturers are generally inclined to RPG games, and the two sides have not been able to agree on this issue.

What worries Huang Yuyun even more is that "The King of Fighters" will not stop at games and comics, with the resources in Lin Youlun's hands, it is very likely that a live-action movie will be launched in the next step, and when the games, comics, and movies are combined, the influence of "The King of Fighters" will definitely reach a higher level.

In addition to deep worry, Huang Yuyun only regretted in his heart, if he had chosen to cooperate with Lin Youlun at the beginning, maybe it would not be Ma Rongcheng but himself who is in the scenery now.

One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and it has been a hundred years since I turned back!

was tied to the chariot of Media Asia by Lin Jianyue, unless Media Asia Film Company went bankrupt, Huang Yuyun would not have the opportunity to cooperate with Lin Youlun again, even if he surrendered his identity and took refuge, Lin Youlun would not necessarily accept him.

——

Coming out of the direction of Victoria Harbour, Xu Ke and Huang Ziqiang walked side by side on the Tsim Sha Tsui Avenue of Stars, which has been completed for more than two years, and finally stood at a fence near the sea.

Because of the prosperity of Hong Kong films, the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars has become an important tourist attraction in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong filmmakers are also proud to be able to leave a star-shaped landmark of their own here.

At night, it is the time when there are the most tourists here, Xu Ke and Huang Ziqiang are not particularly disguised, and they are not afraid of being recognized when they stand together and chat.

"Congratulations, you were able to leave your handprint signature here so quickly!"

When Huang Ziqiang said this to Xu Ke, there was a slight envy in his tone, not long ago, after the vote of the Hong Kong Film Council, Xu Ke and six other people became the fourth batch of outstanding people in the film industry who left the Walk of Fame.

"You don't have to be busy congratulating me, you'll have a chance in a few years."

Huang Ziqiang smiled and shook his head.

"Don't make fun of me."

Huang Ziqiang is not modest when he says this, he knows his own family affairs, although he and Xu Ke are about the same age, and they are also well-known in the Hong Kong film industry, there is still a big gap between them and the standard of being selected for the Avenue of Stars, and even he is not sure if he will have the opportunity to be famous here in his life.

"I'm serious, as long as you stay in Hong Kong and make a few more movies, you will definitely have a chance to make a name here." Xu Ke said very seriously.

Xu Ke and Huang Ziqiang are not acquaintances, the two worked together a few years ago on a movie called "Tianluo Diwang", this movie Huang Ziqiang is the director, Xu Ke is the producer, both of them are very thoughtful people, and it is naturally not pleasant to work together.

"Tianluodiwang" was filmed for nine months in the quarrel between the two before it was completed, but Huang Ziqiang and Xu Ke missed this cooperation very much afterwards, after all, it is also a wonderful thing to be able to rub and collide with filmmakers with ideas and enthusiasm, so instead of falling out because of this, the two became good friends.

Things in the world are so strange, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen were originally friends, and they broke up because of quarrels, while Huang Ziqiang and Xu Ke had a general relationship at the beginning, but they became friends because of quarrels.

After filming "Tianluo Net", Huang Ziqiang filmed "Serious Crime Team" with the support of Lin Youlun, this movie was adapted from a real kidnapping case, and encountered a lot of trouble during the filming, and finally under Huang Ziqiang's insistence, the film was successfully filmed and won more than 30 million box office.

Huang Ziqiang, who was silent for a long time after helping Golden Harvest shoot "Blade Warrior", became famous again because of "Serious Crime Unit", and then filmed "Serious Case Record O" and "Provincial and Hong Kong No. 1 Most Wanted Criminal" two police and gangster films in one go, although it is only a medium production, not as big as "Serious Crime Unit", but Huang Ziqiang can play freely, the two movies are hearty and hot, and the plot is rich, and the box office performance is good after release, Huang Ziqiang was even favored by Hollywood studios and invited him to Hollywood for development.

In fact, as early as when "Blade" was released in the United States, Huang Ziqiang's technical style of rendering violent action scenes and integrating the plot into them had already been favored by Hollywood studios, but at that time Huang Ziqiang did not have much interest in going to Hollywood for development, so the matter was stopped.

Now Hollywood has extended an olive branch to Huang Ziqiang, and Huang Ziqiang's attitude is no longer as insistent as it was back then.

No matter how good the development of Hong Kong films is, after all, it is limited by the scale of the market, but Hollywood can provide a broader stage for Huang Ziqiang, those directors and actors who have made success in Hong Kong are seeking to develop in Hollywood, Huang Ziqiang also feels that he should go there to break through, and he asked Xu Ke to come out today, in fact, he is ready to say goodbye to the other party.

When others heard the news, they congratulated Huang Ziqiang, but Xu Ke didn't do it

"You're really thinking about leaving?"

"What, you think I shouldn't go?" Huang Ziqiang asked curiously.

"The water flows to the lower places, and the people go to the higher places, it stands to reason that I shouldn't stop you, but there is also a saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, ask yourself, are you sure that your development in Hollywood can be better than now?"

Xu Ke was also ambitious to go to Hollywood to develop, but he came back with a nose after the worst, and after that, his mind in this area slowly faded, even if Wu Yusen had made two movies in a row in Hollywood, it did not make Xu Ke excited.

Wu Yusen seems to be beautiful in the United States, but in fact, the first of the two Hollywood movies he made did not even have the right to edit independently, and the second one was slightly better, but the box office performance was very average, which was far from the grand occasion when "Legend of the Night" was released in the United States. The Hong Kong media rarely pays attention to these things, but Xu Ke knows them clearly.

Hong Kong actors who also went to Hollywood to develop, only Cheng Long succeeded, so Hollywood is not as beautiful as many people think, although the stage there is vast, but not everyone is friendly.

Xu Ke told Huang Ziqiang this, just to persuade him to think about it seriously, Huang Ziqiang stayed in Hong Kong to develop, not to mention anything else, at least he could make A-level films, but when he went to Hollywood, he could only start from the lowest level of movies, this kind of movie was not much attention in the first place, and it was not easy to get out of the way.

"Staying in Hong Kong, you can also make a movie that is not inferior to Hollywood's big productions, if you want, I can recommend you to be the director of the sequel to "Monster City", the sequel to that movie is planned to use a Hong Kong actor and an American actor as the starring role, Ji Lu plans to invest 60 million US dollars, I took over "Ghost Blowing the Lantern 2" here, I can't spare my hand for the time being, if you don't leave, you can help me!"
