On January 30, 1986, the Hong Kong film industry opened for the New Year, which was the first time that Dark Horse International participated in the box office war of the Lunar New Year.

Last year, there were six films in Hong Kong that grossed more than 20 million at the local box office, of which the Golden Harvest family accounted for four. "Lucky Star", "Summer Lucky Star", "Dragon's Heart" and "Mr. Zombie" were not only successful in Hong Kong, but also in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Nanyang.

With such brilliant achievements, 85 years should have become a year for Golden Harvest to regain its glory, who would have thought that there would be a dark horse international in the Hong Kong film industry, making Golden Harvest Cup become the background emperor, and become the emperor who witnessed the rise of the dark horse international, and the gorgeous background emperor.

It is true that Dark Horse International only produced four films in the whole of last year, but two of them grossed more than 20 million at the box office, and dominated the Hong Kong local box office and the box office of Western films! Many people are speculating who can break the box office records of these two movies, and finally come to a conclusion that most people agree on - the record set by Dark Horse International is a high probability event broken by Dark Horse International itself.

"The True Color of Heroes" has a box office of 37 million, and "People and Ghosts" has an unprecedented box office of 41 million, with a global box office of more than 400 million US dollars...... All the movies shot by Golden Harvest in a year add one, and the box office is not so much.

In the face of Chen Ping'an and his dark horse International, Golden Harvest will have mixed feelings, and the grievances and grievances between the two are entangled, although they are competitors, they are not the mortal enemies between Golden Harvest and New Art City.

Last year, in the four major schedules in Hong Kong, Dark Horse International only participated in the summer vacation and Christmas schedules. Golden Harvest has high-quality movies launched in these two schedules, but it is a pity that they ran into "The True Color of Heroes" and "The Love of People and Ghosts", which became dim under the dazzling brilliance of these two movies.

Jiahe people have the pride of Jiahe people, and they believe that they can regain what they have lost. What a beautiful new art city was back then, at its peak, it forced Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to join forces to compete, but now, what New Art City took away from Golden Harvest has been taken back by Golden Harvest. At present, it is just that Xinyicheng has been replaced by Dark Horse International, and they are confident that they will defeat Dark Horse International like they defeated Xinyicheng!

In this year's Chinese New Year, Golden Harvest launched "Rich Train" directed by Hung Jinbao, wanting to compete with Dark Horse International's "Dao Ma Dan" and New Art City's "Best Partner Thousands of Miles to Save the Poor Woman"!

"Rich Train" brings together a large number of popular film and television stars, and you can feel the weight of this film just by looking at the cast. Hong Jinbao, Zeng Zhiwei, Guan Zhilin, Oshima Yujiali, Zhong Zhentao, Shen Dianbian, Zheng Wenhui, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, Wu Yaohan, Lin Zhenglang, Wu Ma, Zhu Baoyi, Wang Yu, Shi Jian, etc., there are popular stars and veteran stars; There are handsome guys and beautiful women; There are stars, and there are women; There are comedy generals, as well as Sister Hong Kong, a standard big cast movie.

Last year's Xinyi City, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, also forced the old monster Xu Ke and his wife Shi Nansheng to the dark horse international. Mecca Shi Tian finally didn't dare to underestimate Dark Horse International, and Golden Harvest's catching up also alerted them.

The two finally listened to Huang Baiming's opinion, and started filming the sequel to "Best Partner" after Christmas last year, and it took more than 20 days to finally complete the movie "Best Partner Saves the Poor Woman for a Thousand Miles". The "Best Partner" series has won numerous honors for New Arts City, and this year's New Year file New Arts City decided to use this film to fight Golden Harvest and Dark Horse International to make a good start to the new year!

Dark Horse International is naturally released by "Dao Ma Dan". But "Sword and Horse" is a literary film, and it is difficult to compete with commercial blockbusters such as "Rich Train" and "Best Partner" at the box office.

"Boss, if you don't think of any more ideas, I'm afraid we will lose this year's Chinese New Year." Looking at the three-day box office results in his hand, Shi Nansheng said worriedly.

After she joined Dark Horse International, she began to standardize the company's system. Changing office locations and renting a larger office building is a must, but that will wait until after the Chinese New Year, and now she temporarily shares an office with Chen Ping'an.

On January 30, the three Chinese New Year movies were released at the same time, and the box office entered a stalemate. On the first day, "Dao Ma Dan" led the box office with one million, and then began to slide down one step a day, ranking third with a three-day box office of 3.6 million. Although it is only three or four hundred thousand less than the first-ranked "Rich Train", the winner has been divided.

This is the first movie released by Shi Nansheng after joining Dark Horse International, and she doesn't want to lose. But Chen Ping'an's nonchalant answer made her dumbfounded.

"If you lose, you lose. "Sword and Horse" is a literary film, "Rich Train" is a commercial film, and "Best Partner" is also a continuation of the boutique series, and it is normal to lose to them. ”

""Ghost Love" is still a literary film!"

"That's different." Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "You don't have to have too much pressure, I never said that Dark Horse International wants to dominate the box office champion of each schedule, right?" ”

"It's not a bad thing to win more box office titles, right?"

"If the box office champions of the schedule are all won by us, do you think it is a good thing? It is important to know that a hundred flowers bloom is spring. ”

Chen Ping'an's words woke up Shi Nansheng, especially the latter sentence "A hundred flowers bloom is spring", which is completely different from Shi Nansheng's concept of striving for the first place every time in the new art city. She looked at Chen Ping'an in surprise, and sighed after a while: "Are you really only 20 years old?" ”

"It's going to be 22 soon."

"You always give me the feeling that people in their thirties and forties are middle-aged, especially when they talk and do things, it's really strange." Shi Nansheng shook his head, "How much box office do you think "Dao Ma Dan" can have?" ”

"If there is no "Human Ghost Love", it is estimated that there will be 16 or 7 million. Now, twenty million should be hopeful. ”

Only then did Shi Nansheng understand that "Dao Ma Dan" was started first and finished first, but it was arranged to be released after "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", which was deliberately arranged by Chen Ping'an. I couldn't help but sigh again: "I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen a young person with such a mind like you!" ”

The two chatted for a while, Shi Nansheng went out and rushed to the Causeway Bay Convention Center with Zhang Ziyang to discuss the rental of the building.

Guan Jinpeng walked in with the script, and the storyboard script of "Underground Love" was finally created.

Chen Ping'an finished reading the script carefully, and found that it was similar to the later "Underground Love", that is, in the pursuit of pictures and sound effects, it was much stronger than the later one, and it seemed to be influenced by "Human Ghost".

Closing the script, Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "The script is well written, what is the budget?" ”

"The initial plan is two million."

Guan Jinpeng still has not departed from the habit of small investment in Shaw Brothers, in fact, for filming literary films, small investment is the safest way.

"What about the actors?"

"I want the boss to play the leading role."

"Poof!" Chen Ping'an squirted out a mouthful of water: "You're not joking with me, are you?" Do you think that if I am the leading actor, the investment of two million is enough? ”

Guan Jinpeng smiled slyly: "Anyway, it's all the boss's money, it's just a matter of changing the left hand for the right hand." ”

"I'm not very interested in making movies, let's change people. Well...... I think Liang Chaowei is good, the leading actor asked him to audition first, as for other roles, you come up with a plan yourself, if it doesn't work, arrange the audition uniformly, and strive to form rules in the future. ”

After Guan Jinpeng left, Wang Jing knocked on the door with the script and came in.

After Wang Jing joined Dark Horse International, he had never made a movie for the company, but he did not take less dividends at the end of the year. After learning about it, Lao Dou Wang Tianlin praised him for having the vision to follow the right person, but he felt that he didn't do anything to get the money, and he couldn't help it, so he specially prepared two scripts this time, both of which were storyboard scripts, one was "Ghost Hunting" and the other was "Ghost Fighting Zombie".

The plot of "Ghost Hunting" is the same as that of later generations, Chen Ping'an hurriedly read it, and then focused his attention on the script of "Ghost Fighting Zombies".

There is no movie "Ghost Fighting Zombies" in later generations, and it is completely created by Wang Jing under the influence of "Mr. Zombie" and "Ghost Love". Although it is difficult to escape the essence of following the trend, the plot has many selling points.

The plot of "Ghost Fighting Zombies" is a bit of a fusion of "Mr. Zombie" and "Ghost Love".

The actor Sam and his girlfriend Molly are a couple who love each other deeply, but Molly died of a terminal illness. The grief-stricken male protagonist is influenced by the movie "The Ghost Is Not Over" and thinks that Molly loves him very much, so the ghost must be by his side.

In order to be able to meet Molly, he finds the female Taoist priest Bao'er, hoping that Bao'er can help him meet Molly beside him. Boa laughs at Sam's whimsical and says that everything in the movie is fake, but in the end, she is moved by Sam's affection for Molly and decides to help Sam find Molly's soul.

Many interesting things happen to the two in the process of searching for Molly's ghost, and Boa slowly falls in love with Sam, but Sam only has Molly in his heart. In the end, Bao'er stole the cheats from her master, Uncle Nine, and wanted to summon Molly's revenant, who tried to cast a spell and failed, awakening the zombie king who had been buried underground for thousands of years.

Molly is indeed as Sam imagined, turning into a ghost to accompany him, seeing all the efforts he has made to see him, and also seeing Boa's secret promise to Sam, during which she has teased Boa many times.

After the Zombie King woke up, she saw that Bao'er was desperate to save Sam, and she was moved to save Bao'er from the Zombie King's hands, and pestered the Zombie King to win precious escape time for Bao'er and Sam, but she was seriously injured by the Zombie King.

When Uncle Ninth learned about this, Uncle Bao'er scolded Bao'er for messing around, but Sam insisted that Molly was by his side, and the two were able to escape from the zombie king's hands because Molly secretly helped. Molly, who was seriously injured, found Sam and couldn't hide the ghost aura on her body that was detected by Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine thought that it was a ghost who harmed people, and was ready to do the right thing for the sky, but fortunately, Bao'er saw Molly after smearing cow tears, and stopped it in time, so he rescued Molly from Uncle Nine's sword.

Sam Molly finally got to meet, and the ninth uncle Bao'er went to fight the zombie king, but the zombie king's mana was too high, and the master and apprentice were difficult to kill, but fortunately Molly helped in time, and the two worked together to eradicate the zombie king.

In the end, Molly was reincarnated, and before reincarnating, she entrusted Bao'er to take care of Sam for herself. Sam and Boa get married, and Boa is pregnant and gives birth to a daughter in October, only to find out that it is Molly who is reincarnated.

Nima, this plot ...... That's why Wang Jing can figure it out!

Seeing Chen Ping'an close the script, Wang Jing felt worried: "Boss, is this script okay?" ”RS
