Chapter 113 Concert Guests
Yuan Jieying's three daughters, Chen Ping'an, couldn't be contacted, so they followed Huang Baiming to Nanyang to go on stage to promote "Happy Paradise" and the singing group of Happy Girls. Among the many seeds planted, these three girls are the most uncertain for Chen Ping'an, and whether they can be recovered in the future is becoming more and more ambiguous.
In addition to these things, Chen Ping'an is also busy with the creation of the script of "Blood Spot".
The scripts of "Police Story", "Good Boy", and "True Colors of Heroes" are basically equivalent to copying later generations, but adding some hot scenes; "The Love of People and Ghosts" has been revised a little bigger, integrating a small number of bridges in the Japanese version; And "Blood Spot" needs to be greatly revised, which is the first time for Chen Ping'an.
It must not be based on karate, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ping'an chose Jeet Kune Do, and this "Blood Spot" will be themed "like a tribute to Brucelee" to promote the kung fu of Jeet Kune Do.
To this end, he contacted Jiahe and asked Zou Wenhuai for help, and invited two of Brucelee's proud disciples, Eno Shandu and Huang Jinming, from the United States to serve as martial arts instructors, and also invited Brucelee's eldest son Li Guohao to make a cameo appearance in the film.
Hearing about this, He Guanchang, Liang Feng, Liu Lianghua and others have built yì Zou Wenhuai, hoping that Golden Harvest can be co-filmed with Dark Horse International, after all, Brucelee was once their Golden Harvest person. To put it bluntly, it is to invest in filming together to make up for the loss of "People and Ghosts".
Needless to say, Zou Wenhuai has this plan, and he also mentioned it to Chen Ping'an. When he learned that Chen Ping'an's investment budget for this movie was only one million US dollars, he suddenly lost his temper.
One million US dollars, less than 8 million Hong Kong dollars, is another movie that goes west to Hollywood...... Does Chen Ping'an need to unite with others? Besides, how high can the performance of a film with this kind of investment scale be? Do you think it's Hong Kong, with an investment of 1.8 million yuan and tens of millions of box office?
The current Dark Horse International is not as good as before, although the box office of "Human Ghost" has not yet arrived, but someone has secretly calculated that Chen Ping'an can get at least 50 million US dollars, which is converted into three or four hundred million Hong Kong dollars. With so much money, Chen Ping'an also buckled the rope, as a film to commemorate Brucelee, he actually only invested one million US dollars, which aroused Zou Wenhuai's suspicions.
This guy isn't going to make a big move, is he?
For this reason, Zou Wenhuai deliberately tried to propose that Golden Harvest was willing to invest 5 million US dollars as the filming cost of "Blood Spot", but Chen Ping'an simply refused.
Such a result makes Zou Wenhuai even more sure that Chen Ping'an is going to make a big move this year, and it has nothing to do with the acquisition of the theater chain! What the hell is he trying to do?
For Chen Ping'an, a million-dollar investment is enough. Because Chen Ping'an's slogan is "Salute like Brucelee", and the theme of the movie is to promote Jeet Kune Do, both Inoxan and Huang Jinming expressed their willingness to help for free, and seriously trained Shang Ge Yundun to learn Jeet Kune Do; Li Guohao, who just filmed the TV series "Kung Fu Circle" in the United States, is also willing to make a free cameo.
Shang Gewenton had been waiting for this day to come. learned that he would play the leading role in "Blood Spot", and he also had the opportunity to learn from his idol's Jeet Kune Do, and the director of this movie was Chen Ping'an, so he didn't sleep all night excitedly.
His salary is 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is still given to him by Chen Ping'an. Shang Geyundun's original intention was to have a meaning of thirty or fifty thousand, and it didn't matter if there was no remuneration. In Hong Kong, the salary of 200,000 yuan is already very high for a newcomer like Shang Ge Yunton, so Shang Ge Yunton shouted that Chen Ping'an is exquisite, God has given him his best friend, and he is the most generous boss in the world, and the phrase "believe in peace and get eternal life" hung on his lips for three days.
In addition to Shang Geyunton, the muscular dwarf cow plays the role of the ultimate boss in the film, and the salary of 120,000 yuan has become the second highest salary in this play. As for foreigners such as American agents and female journalists...... Please, this is Hong Kong, there are really not too many foreigners, is it necessary for Chen Ping'an to go to the United States to invite actors?
In the later "Blood Spot" movie, the selling point was basically on Shang Ge Yunton alone. The one-word horse, kicking the opponent's head when tilting 360 degrees, the muscular man, Chinese kung fu, and bloody profiteering constitute the selling point of "Blood Spot" in the United States, and the changes in other actors really have little impact on the box office of this movie.
Shang Gewenton has recently rushed to the United States to learn Jeet Kune Do with Huang Jinming and Inoxando, and when "Blood Spot" is officially launched, the three of them will return to Hong Kong together.
As for the funds, Dark Horse International is still very abundant. "True Colors of Heroes" won 37 million and 30 million box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan respectively, and Dark Horse International received a box office share of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. In addition, "The True Color of Heroes" was also a great success in South Korea, Japan and Nanyang, and the Shaw Brothers withheld more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars of the box office share of Dark Horse International, which means that Chen Ping'an only needs to pay nearly 50 million Hong Kong dollars to get eight theaters.
Eight theaters are definitely not enough, when he was still in the United States, Chen Ping'an asked Ye Zhiming to take Zhang Ziyang and Dwarf Niu to start buying independent theaters in Hong Kong, using the box office of more than 20 million received by "Dark Horse International".
According to Chen Ping'an's plan, "Blood Spot" will start filming after the Spring Festival in 86, and by then the Asian box office of "Ghost Love" will basically be accounted for, and the overseas box office will also arrive one after another, and he doesn't have to think too much about the funds.

Since December 31, 1985, Anita Mui has held her first solo concert at the Hong Kong Red Pavilion - "Anita Mui Concert with Glory", which has been held for 15 consecutive performances, breaking the record for the number of solo performances performed by Hong Kong singers for the first time.
On January 14th, the Red Pavilion, Anita Mui's fifteenth solo concert was also the last of this solo concert.
Although 14 consecutive performances have been held, there are still many fans who attend. The fans roared wildly, the applause was thunderous, and the earth-shattering roars and shouts almost toppled the roof of the Red Pavilion.
Every time Anita Mui changes her appearance on stage, it is the craziest moment for fans, some are shouting hoarsely, some are in tears because of excitement, shouting Anita Mui's name, and the atmosphere is exciting! There are still a large number of fans stranded outside the Red Pavilion, they have not bought tickets, they can only wait outside the door, hoping that when Anita Mui comes out, they can meet each other.
In such a hot atmosphere, Zhou Haimei was a little absent-minded. followed the crazy fans around him cheering and applauding, but his heart was empty - Chen Ping'an didn't come.
She had been looking forward to this day since the night at the top of Flying Goose Mountain. Two days ago, the postman sent her a letter, which contained only a ticket for Anita Mui's concert. Although there is no signature on the envelope, who else can it be if it is not Chen Ping'an?
Tonight, she deliberately dressed up and came to the Red Pavilion, thinking that it would be Chen Ping'an who was sitting next to her, but she didn't know that there were strangers she didn't know before and after, and Chen Ping'an was not there at all.
Could it be that he has something to do today? Then he can give me a call! When she learned from the people next to her that their tickets were bought in advance by herself, not by others, she was extremely disappointed. Could it be that he only bought one ticket, so he didn't come in?
On the stage, Anita Mui, who was dressed as a bad girl, sang the song "Bad Girl", which caused fans in the audience to shout feverishly. She didn't go backstage to change her clothes, but waited until the shouting died down, walked to the front of the stage and asked, "Do you like bad girls?" β
The fans in the audience replied in unison: "I like-"
"Do you like this 'Bad Girl'?"
"Likeβ"
"Do you know who wrote this "Bad Girl"?"
The fans were dumbfounded, most of the fans did not pay attention to the songwriters marked on the album, and only a few fans shouted Chen Ping'an's name sporadically.
Anita Mui smiled brightly: "Haha, it seems that his reputation is far worse than mine." Fans, I love you guys! β
"Sister Mei, we love you too-"
"A fan has already said the name of that person just now, do you know who he is now?"
"Chen Ping'an!" Zhou Haimei was the first to call out Chen Ping'an's name, she had already guessed the truth, and she was excited. Chen Ping'an actually attended Anita Mui's concert as a guest!
Half a second later, the fans in the audience also began to chant "Chen Ping'an", but more people were shouting "Sam".
When the shouting became smaller, Anita Mui said loudly: "That's right, it's him, the best boyfriend in the hearts of thousands of girls, the dead ghost Sam who earned the tears of countless girls, he also came to the scene today, as a guest, do you welcome him?" β
"Sam!"
"Sam!"
"Sam!"
At this time, "The Love of People and Ghosts" was still in theaters, and the couple partners of Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong, the male and female protagonists, set off a frenzy in Asia. Needless to say, Zhong Chuhong has long been popular all over Xiangjiang, and the one who benefited the most was Chen Ping'an, who completed the gorgeous transformation from a film company boss and a gold medal director to an actor, and was widely popular. On New Year's Day, he went to visit Xiang's home, and Xiang Huaqiang jokingly proposed that he hope he could star in the film of Yongsheng Film Company.
In the neat and loud slogans of the fans, Chen Ping'an, who was dressed in simple clothes, appeared on the stage, walked to the front of the stage and waved to the fans in the audience with a smile, which immediately caused a burst of girlish screams, Zhou Haimei finally devoted himself to it, and followed the others to shout and scream.
Solo concerts will invite friends in the circle as guests to help sing, as the eldest sister in the music world, Anita Mui has a lot of friends in the circle, a few days ago Zhang Guorong, Alan Tam, Teddy Luo Bin, Lin Zishen, Lin Yilian, etc. have all attended as guests. The invitation to Chen Ping'an to attend as a guest was before Christmas last year, because of the song "Bad Girl".
After the release of the "Bad Girl" album, it won eight platinums in the first week, and the sales exceeded 720,000 copies in three months, breaking the sales record of Hong Kong records at that time and becoming one of the highest-selling records in Hong Kong.
"Sam, this is my concert, you can't steal my limelight." Anita Mui joked.
Chen Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands with an innocent expression: "I'm sorry Sister Mei, I didn't expect me to be so popular." β
"Well, I forgive you this time. But as a guest, are you disrespecting me by dressing so casually? β
"Poor, no way." Chen Ping'an's answer caused a commotion in the audience. Anita Mui was even more merciless: "Are you poor? Oh, I forgot, your money was used to invest in filming for beautiful women. βRS
