With the hit of "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains, Always Love", Mi Xue was crowned the queen of TV dramas by the media with a heart, which made Zhou Huimin and her little girls very happy, as if she had become the queen of TV dramas. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But after a few days of madness, Mi Xue threw herself into the crew of "Best Partner" and started a new job.
After this period of busyness, Xu Ke and Zeng Zhiwei, the two directors and assistants, finally formed the crew of "Best Partner" completely, the script was in place, the funds were in place, the actors were in place, and the auspicious time was also selected, so they waited for time to prepare to start filming.
Speaking of "Best Partner", I have to mention Xu Guanjie. Xu Guanjie agreed to Chen Shaoyi to star in "Best Partner", the protagonist of "Best Partner" is also played by himself, but Xu Guanjie is a person from Golden Harvest after all, how can Golden Harvest let Xu Guanjie star in a film jointly produced by Phoenix Pictures and New Art City, and in the end, this "Best Partner" is not released in Golden Harvest, but in the opponent Golden Princess, Golden Harvest is even more reluctant to do this.
The final result of this incident is naturally that Xu Guanjie broke away from the Xu Brothers Company like the original history, but this time Xu Guanjie joined not Xinyicheng, but Phoenix Pictures.
The reason why Chen Shaoyi promised Lei Juekun before that the two sides would co-produce "Best Partner" was that one of the hidden purposes that Chen Shaoyi retained was achieved, that is, to let Xu Guanjie join Phoenix Pictures.
If it was just Phoenix Pictures that invested in the filming of "Best Partner", and pulled Xu Guanjie out and let Xu Guanjie join Phoenix Pictures, then Phoenix Pictures would inevitably face the impact and anger of Golden Harvest. And with the current strength of Phoenix Pictures, it is difficult to resist the blow of Golden Harvest. So as soon as Lei Juekun mentioned the conditions, Chen Shaoyi agreed, and the purpose was naturally to bring in Xinyicheng and Princess Jin. The two sides co-produced "Best Partner". Although this still can't avoid Golden Harvest's hatred of Phoenix Pictures, at least one new art city helps to stand up to it in front, attracting some of Golden Harvest's hatred, and Phoenix Pictures can be less affected.
If Chen Shaoyi didn't want to get Xu Guanjie, how could he agree to Lei Juekun to exchange 6 million for 30% of the profit of "Best Partner", it seems that Chen Shaoyi took some advantage. But what kind of person is Chen Shaoyi, and the traverser is also. How much profit is made from "Best Partner", will Chen Shaoyi be unclear?
"Best Partner" is the Hong Kong film with the highest number of visitors in Hong Kong. It is also the highest-grossing series of movies in the 80s, and the investment of 6 million in New Arts City will definitely allow them to get several times the return in the end, Chen Shaoyi feels distressed when he thinks about it. But distress is distress. Chen Shaoyi also understands that it is difficult for a person to make all the money. Partnering with New Arts City and Princess Jin is the best choice at the moment.
If Jiahe is the strongest Cao Wei, and Princess Jin is the relatively strong Eastern Wu, then Chen Shaoyi is Liu Bei who only has half of the land of Jingzhou.
After some planning, Xu Guanjie finally got started and musically chose to join Phoenix Records. chose to join Phoenix Pictures in the movie, and all the contracts of Xu Guanjie, a superstar, are in the hands of Chen Shaoyi.
At the start of filming. Naturally, large-scale publicity has to be carried out, but fortunately, there are simply too many themes that can be hyped up in "Best Partner".
First of all, a large-scale investment of 15 million yuan is rare in Hong Kong, and it is impossible to recover the cost of such an investment if it is only the box office in Hong Kong, and it has to rely on the support of the box office in other cities, such a risk is very large, and there are few companies that dare to invest so much money to make a movie. At present, one million can make a very good movie, and the protagonists of films with an investment of two million can be replaced by well-known stars, if you invest five million, it will already be able to cause a sensation, not to mention the investment of 15 million in "Best Partner", which simply detonated the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Secondly, the cast is unprecedentedly strong, and the three protagonists Xu Guanjie, Mecca, and Mi Xue are all among the best artists in the Hong Kong entertainment industry today. Although Mi Xue has not starred in many movies, the box office of "Nightclub" starring last year is quite hot, not to mention that there is currently a TV series queen, and her eye-catching ability is very strong; And Xu Guanjie and Mecca are both veterans in the film industry, and they are box office harvesters every time, and it is difficult for such a performance lineup not to attract attention.
The third "Best Partner" is a joint production of Phoenix Pictures and New Art City, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is to say goodbye to Golden Harvest, and the war between the two sides is about to break out, and a good show is about to appear. And Xu Guanjie changed his door in order to star in "Best Partner", broke away from the Xu Brothers company, broke away from Golden Harvest, and chose to join Phoenix Pictures, which is also a jaw drop.
Fourth, the theme of "Best Partner", it is understood that this drama is a movie modeled after the 007 series, which is currently popular all over the world and has many fans, not much less than "Star Wars". Although "Best Partner" is a follow-up 007 series, there are some differences, in addition to the secret agents, suspense, fierce fights, hot scenes, high-tech case-handling equipment, and finally because most of the leading actors are comedians, the humor and funniness of "Best Partner" should also be a must.
In the end, the script of "Best Partner" was provided by Chen Shaoyi, and whether the script written by Chen Shaoyi is good or not does not need to be discussed too much. At present, Shaw Brothers has gradually weakened, and the slogan that Shaw Brothers produces and must be a boutique product has quickly become a joke in the industry, and many people think that such a slogan is deserved to be used on Chen Shaoyi's head. This time, there was nothing to do with Shaw Brothers, and he was really shot while lying down.
"Best Partner" has so much hype worth hype, coupled with Chen Shaoyi's request for Phoenix TV to help vigorously promote it, "Best Partner" can be said to be hot before filming, and it has become the hottest event in the film industry.
It can be seen from here that some of Chen Shaoyi's ambitions, TV stations and film and television companies can promote each other, at present, the scale of Phoenix Pictures is still small, and it can only let Phoenix TV help, after Phoenix Pictures grows in the future, it can be fed back to help Phoenix TV, plus Phoenix Records, it has formed a good iron triangle circulation system, an unbreakable alliance barrier.
In fact, such a system, Shao Yifu was the first to establish, but unfortunately the way Shaw Brothers made movies in the big studio system has seriously lagged behind this era, Shaw Brothers indoor set "fantasy China" style Chinese films are far from satisfying the audience of the new era, and Shaw lacks the courage to push to rebuild, Shao Yifu himself has shifted his focus to wireless, making Shaw Brothers in the three hard, and it is impossible to form an unbreakable alliance barrier in the entertainment industry.
