After discussing Ye Zhiming's affairs, Li Xuan continued to devote himself to the intense filming of "Black Man".

During this period, in order to play the role of Jin Jiu in the movie, Li Xuan even sacrificed his full head of black hair, just to imitate Huang Qiusheng's slightly neurotic appearance in "Three Heroes of the East", and the result was not bad, although he was much more talented than Huang Qiu.

The filming of the movie is slowly coming to an end, and "Mr. Zombie" is also continuing to be screened half-dead in Golden Harvest Cinemas. Its box office in the first week was 3.16 million, and it declined slightly in the second week, gaining 2.82 million. But the tragedy is that in the third week, I met "Shanghai Tang", which was about to end and progressively.

While TVB's ratings reached an astonishing 81%, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" in the third week broke 2 million.

The number of moviegoers has fallen sharply, and the attendance rate has fallen to less than 30%.

Fortunately, "Mr. Zombie" has been in theaters for 20 consecutive days, and the theater chain has begun to continuously reduce the number of theaters and screenings of the movie, and the average attendance rate of the remaining theaters has finally exceeded 5%.

Golden Harvest did this to make way for the release of Yongsheng's "King of Killers". And "The King of Killers" is also the only movie that has not reported news of a theater brawl after the finale of "Shanghai Tang" was broadcast.

Because the day of the release of "The King of Killers" coincided with the finale of "Shanghai Tang" staged by TVB, the box office was extremely poor, and it only received a premiere box office of 370,000. Just when Wang Jin was still worried about whether he would be caught by Xin Yi'an to light the sky lantern, the box office of the movie began to rise rapidly the next day, and it received a box office of 510,000. On Sunday, the box office of "The King of Killers" exceeded 710,000, successfully surpassing the highest score of 650,000 Hong Kong dollars of "Mr. Zombie".

Among them, the members of the community of New Ngee An have made great contributions, and many people have watched it several times. The first thing I did when I saw my friend was to hold his head high and give a thumbs up and say, "Do you know who my boss is?" New Nghe An! Xiang Sheng! The King of Killers! ”

Often at this time, the person being asked has to nod and exclaim, making a look of envy, jealousy and hatred. Otherwise, the other party will cut people.

"Shanghai Tang" came to an end, but "The King of Killers" became popular. And those filmmakers were also amazed by the shooting techniques brought by Li Xuan in "The King of Killers".

A review in Ming Pao wrote: "When director Wang Jin started filming his first film "Scary", he was still imitating old-fashioned kung fu comedies; And the second "King of a Thousand Kings", although it brings some erotic feelings, it can already be seen that the director is part of the exploration of the new situation film. Finally, in this "King of Killers", we saw the results of director Wang Jin. The whole film is tightly paced, compelling, and full of tension, without the roughness of old-fashioned gunfight films, but is extraordinarily exquisite. On the other hand, the protagonists of the movie are not big stars, but they have achieved a realistic effect. And the fighting scenes in the movie, although extremely rare, but the sharp and fast-paced fights also reflect a rebellious spirit against old-style kung fu movies. New in Hong Kong films? Today, when the tide is booming, this spirit is particularly valuable. Only by breaking through the nest and bringing forth the new can we find a new way for the conservative and traditional Hong Kong film creation style. And this, too, these new? The goal pursued by the director of Inspur. ”

Li Xuan couldn't cry or laugh when he saw the comments, obviously, the outside world didn't know the details of the shooting, and he had already piled up all his credit on Wang Jin. But Wang Jin suddenly became new? The director of the wave, how weird Li Xuan thinks. Wang Jin, this guy is an authentic salty and wet film director, and new? Waves don't have a half-dime relationship!

The box office of "The King of Killers" reached 3.57 million in the first week of release, although it was nearly one million less than the box office of 4.36 million in the first week of "Senior Brother Out", but it is already very eye-catching.

And "Mr. Zombie", which was tossed into obscurity by "Shanghai Tang", began to exert its power under the halo of "The King of Killers".

There are only five theaters left to screen "Mr. Zombie", and the theater attendance rate in the fourth week soared to ninety percent, receiving a box office of 1.03 million. Cai Yongchang, who originally planned to draw "Mr. Zombie" offline after the fourth week of screening, couldn't start crying and laughing.

After all, for the five theaters, "Mr. Zombie" is more profitable than the popular "King of Killers".

And Anle Cinema's god film "The Tragic War" was finally drawn a week after the release of "The King of Killers". The film was released for a total of 43 days and set a documentary box office record of 942.

The people of Hong Kong had already expected this outcome, and it was difficult to say anything other than to be amazed.

Some people are happy, and some people are naturally worried, while Wang Jin is happy, his father Wang Tianlin is almost so sad that he jumps off the building.

The great director Wang Tianlin, he hit the street again!

"The Stupid Detective", a movie that took Wang Tianlin more than two months to shoot and produce, was taken to the Golden Princess Theater for screening. As a result, it only received 240,000 box office in 8 days, which was worse than Binbin's "Fighting", and people collected 390,000 box office in 7 days.

Now Wang Tianlin's face is darker than the bottom of the pot, Wang Jin and his daughter-in-law are walking outside without anything to do, and they dare not go home. Li Xuan heard Wang Jin say that his father swore that he would never touch the position of film director in the future!

In this way, the time slowly transitioned to mid-April.

In April, the two movies became popular with many people.

Guan Zhilin and Lin Zhengying in "Mr. Zombie" are on fire, and even Liu Xiwei, the former cameraman, has the name of a big director. Now their group is filming a movie called "Zombie Dao Chief" with the strong support of Hong Jingbao.

Li Xuan looked at the cast list of "Zombie Dao Chief", and couldn't help but think of a familiar advertising slogan - it's still the original recipe, it's still a familiar taste!

The policeman Ren Dahua in "The King of Killers" became popular, and many film companies extended olive branches to invite him to film. Pity. Even if Li Xuan, the boss, wants to earn this extra money, there is no way at this time.

Because Ren Dahua's identity is first a contracted artist of TVB, and then an actor of Xuanyuan Film Company. At that time, they were able to deviate from the condition that TVB would shoot movies outside, that is, when TVB asked them to go back to shoot TV series, they would put the TV station first for no reason, which was written into the contract.

Now TVB is taking advantage of the residual heat of "Shanghai Tang" and the popular "King of Killers", gathering Zhou Yunfa and Ren Dahua to urgently produce a long drama "Family Affection".

At this time, Ren Dahua had already finished filming the scenes in the movie and rushed back to TVB to shoot a TV series.

Xiang Huaqiang and Zeng Zhiwei in "The King of Killers" are on fire. It's a pity that no film company dares to ask them to film, because their company's name is Yongsheng. However, Zeng Zhiwei himself has already written a script and plans to start filming in his own company, and the name is simply "The Emperor of Killers".

No, this guy will take the script now and ask Li Xuan if he has any opinions.

Looking at this script, Li Xuan's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.

"The Emperor of Killers" tells the story of a top professional killer who is tired of killing and runs to Hong Kong to live in seclusion, but meets an innocent girl, and then a series of funny misunderstandings cause the two to slowly fall in love. Of course, there are also shootouts in it, and the villain is naturally a killer organization that refuses to let the killer retire peacefully. And in the end, with the help of the killer's police friend, the killer finally defeated the organization and lived happily with the girl.

The more Li Xuan looked at this script, the more familiar he felt, picked up his "Black Man" storyboard and looked at it, and then pointed to the script of "The Emperor of Killers" and asked Zeng Zhiwei in surprise: "How do I feel that your script is so similar to my "Black Hero"? ”

"Forehead......" Zeng Zhiwei paused, his face was not red and his heart was not beating: "It's not like it, it's just a layer of skin." But don't worry, my movie is about shootouts. ”

Li Xuan only felt that 10,000 divine beasts were rushing by in his heart, and this guy actually admitted it shamelessly!

"Hehe, what do you think of this script?" Zeng Zhiwei continued to humbly ask for advice.

"Well, that's good." Li Xuan was very helpless, nodded casually and said, "However, you can write the killer a little cooler." ”

"Cool?"

Li Xuan nodded, pointed to a scene inside and said, "Look, your killer is always laughing and laughing in this scene. Why laugh? Don't you think it's cooler for the killer to have a wooden face, or a smile. ”

"Hey, really." Zeng Zhiwei thought about it and nodded in response.

"Okay, you can take it back and change it slowly."

Li Xuan slapped the script on Zeng Zhiwei's chest, watched him take the script, and continued: "Now, I have to film, hehe, it should be good to add an easter egg to the end of "Black Man"! ”

Zeng Zhiwei, who was holding the script of "The Emperor of Killers", was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed Li Xuan and asked, "Easter eggs? What do you mean? (To be continued.) )
