After the joke, Chen Jie looked at Cheng Long and asked, "Brother Long, how is Hong Kong doing now?" ”

Speaking of which, Chen Jie and Zhao Yazhi have been away from Hong Kong for more than half a month, and the movie "The King of Killers" should be almost offline, and when Chen Jie left, Wang Jing, Lin Lingdong, Wu Yusen and other directors of Longteng had already begun to prepare to start filming new dramas. Wu Yusen www.biquge.info pen %fun %pavilion has even been turned on a long time ago. Although Chen Jie is very confident in several directors of Longteng Pictures, after all, there are many things involved in making movies, and among the many directors of Longteng Pictures, Wang Jing has an accident, and basically he is not very good at handling interpersonal relationships. Although Chen Baixiang helps deal with these things, Longteng Pictures' steps are indeed a bit big, although Chen Baixiang is very good at dealing with this kind of thing, but after all, his energy is limited. That's why Chen Jie asked this question.

"Speaking of which, I would like to congratulate you! Ajie: The "King of Killers" that you and Ah Xiang collaborated on had already exceeded 27 million at the box office when I came. If this momentum continues, there is absolutely no problem with the box office of 30 million! This made Uncle Huai a little jealous. The production cost of your movie is too different from "Die Hard". can look at this momentum, the gap in the box office will not be too big. Cheng Long said with a smile.

"This is also a way, after all, Hong Kong's market is so big, and there are so many people who watch movies, so the box office gap of good movies is not very large, if you want to develop, you can only continue to open up other cities, otherwise it is likely that we will not be able to afford the salary of actors alone in the future!" Chen Jie said.

Chen Jie is indeed right, there are several key reasons why Hong Kong films have declined later, one is that the production cost is getting higher and higher, and it often takes 40 or 50 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a movie, and the local box office in Hong Kong alone can't even recover the shooting cost. Another reason is that the situation of movies following the trend is too serious, often all of them are movies with one theme in a time period, and which type of movie is popular will make which type of movie, which makes the audience feel aesthetic fatigue and accelerates the death rate of movies with this theme. Third, a large amount of foreign capital has poured in, and many Taiwanese have found that the market for Hong Kong films is very good, and a large amount of foreign capital has poured in. As long as there are celebrities, no matter what the script is or who the director is, they will throw money at death. This makes many people use movies as a tool to make money. So the quality of Hong Kong films has dropped dramatically. Fourthly, there is some political factor, because some people with bad intentions have been smearing the prospects of a return. Therefore, many people in Hong Kong are a little scared, and many people want to immigrate before the return to the motherland, and it is precisely because of this that the atmosphere in Hong Kong is very tense, so many people really don't have the time or mood to go into the cinema. This last point does have a certain relationship with the current situation, because at that time, the Chinese people did not respect copyright, and many people did not know what copyright was. This has made a considerable number of people rich as pirates, but it is a pity that doing so is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs. It is the interests of the Hong Kong film market that have shrunk significantly, which is also a key reason.

Although Chen Jie did not save the Hong Kong film market from Hong Kong, he didn't want to watch Hong Kong movies fall like this, so he had such feelings. After Cheng Long listened to Chen Jie's words, he didn't know how to talk for a while. This is too serious to say. And at this time, Cheng Long was not the approachable big brother later, so he hadn't realized the importance of this issue. After Chen Jie saw this, in order to avoid embarrassment, he hurriedly spoke

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, Brother Long should tell me about things in Hong Kong. Speaking of which, although I have only been away for more than half a month, I really miss Brother Sanmao and them. ”

"Hehe, Applejack, do you miss Big Brother or do you miss someone else?" Cheng Long said with a smile after listening to Chen Jie's words.

As soon as Cheng Long finished saying this, he reacted that his words seemed to be a little inappropriate at this time, after all, Zhao Yazhi was still there. Making this joke with Chen Jie in front of Zhao Yazhi made Cheng Long feel very embarrassed, and Cheng Long, who reacted, looked at Chen Jie with some embarrassment.

"Brother Long, don't make fun of me, let's talk to me about the situation in Hong Kong. Speaking of which, Brother Long, you should have been quite busy during this time. Brother Long has a lot of scenes in Brother Sanmao's "Lucky Star Gaozhao"! Chen Jie said with a smile.

When Cheng Long heard Chen Jie say this, he thought that Chen Jie was diverting the topic and not letting Zhao Yazhi think about it, so he hurriedly said very cooperatively

"I don't care, I'm already getting along with Senior Brother, and after the matter here is over, I'll go directly to Japan to meet them. And in addition to "Lucky Stars", I only have a shooting plan for "Drunken Fist 2" this year, so I'm not very busy! ”

Cheng Long's words made Chen Jie feel very curious, according to Chen Jie's memory, Golden Harvest should start investing in the filming of "Cannonball Speed 2" this year. However, looking at what Cheng Long meant, it is obvious that Jiahe has not put this matter on the agenda. How did Chen Jie know that Wrinkle Huai did have the idea of filming "Cannonball Speed 2", but in order to maximize profits, Wrinkle Huai hoped that "Rat Guts" could help Cheng Long make a certain reputation in Hollywood, and it would be the best time to shoot "Cannonball Speed 2" at that time. And the movie "Drunken Fist 2" wrinkles and Huai himself likes it very much. After all, this movie plays Cheng Long's characteristics too prominently. Therefore, Wrinkle Huai did not plan to start filming "Cannonball Speed 2" so early, but planned to wait until Cheng Long finished filming "Drunken Fist 2" before putting this movie on the agenda.

"If you want to say that you are busy, no one is as busy as the senior brother, and I saw the senior brother with a sad face before I came. I guess I'm tired enough during this time! Cheng Long said with a smile.

Cheng Long was originally just joking, but this sentence had some meaning to Chen Jie's ears. Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao have not known each other for a day or two, and according to Hong Jinbao's character, he will definitely not make a sad face because of any trivial matter. On the one hand, Hong Jinbao's personality is very strong, and even if he encounters any trouble, he will never show it. On the other hand, Hong Jinbao's heart is very big, and he will never take ordinary small things to heart. And with Hong Jinbao's status today, it shouldn't be that he ran into any trouble during filming, so there are not many things that can make Hong Jinbao sad! And Chen Jie happened to know that something was related to Hong Jinbao, and according to the time, this matter was likely to happen. However, Chen Jie did not talk to Cheng Long about it.
