The box office war in the summer vacation of 1986 came ahead of schedule because of Golden Harvest.

In the past, the box office war of summer vacation stalls began in early July, and various theaters launched high-quality movies that had been prepared for a long time, attracting a large number of audiences to enter the theaters.

However, this year, at the end of May, Golden Harvest suddenly began to promote the "Best Lucky Star" of the Fuxing series in major media, and the release date was set for June 20, nearly 20 days earlier than before!

Golden Harvest's sudden change of moves, Golden Princess, Debao and even Dark Horse International have to change their film scheduling plans, who dares to respond to all changes with no change, only to wait for death.

Debao announced that on June 20, its theaters will release the action film "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" starring Li Guohao. Because of the friendship cameo appearance in "Blood Spot" back to Hong Kong, and the good response of "Blood Point" in the United States, Debao contacted Li Guohao to shoot this "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes", looking forward to success with Li Guohao's fame. Wang Minde, Huang Zhiqiang, and Chen Huimin all have important scenes in this film, and even Wu Mengda has a lot of shots.

The Golden Princess Cinemas is in trouble. The trouble comes not only from Golden Harvest's sudden change of tricks, but also from within. used to be the Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng, but now there are only three giants left, but Mecca among the three giants actually ran to Golden Harvest to help the opponents of Xinyicheng shoot "Best Lucky Star", and there are still many scenes.

This incident not only annoyed Shi Tian and Huang Baiming, but even the big boss Lei Juekun was furious.

Due to the absence of Xu Ke's studio, the films produced by Xinyicheng, which is full of cracks, are not only few, but also of low quality. Except for the "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Bad Mother" in the Chinese New Year, there have been no very good works.

Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" series is the signature of Xinyi City, and this year's filming is "Happy Ghost Crashing into Ghost". Not to mention that the film has not yet been completed, and even if it is completed, it cannot be scheduled to be released on June 20. The biggest audience for the "Happy Ghost" series is teenagers, and they have to wait until the students are released during the summer vacation to get good results.

Xinyicheng also produced two small-budget movies, but unfortunately they couldn't even pass their own level, let alone Lei Juekun's level! The current Xinyi City is not as good as it was back then, if they don't just make a movie, Princess Jin will be released, and Lei Juekun will also be censored.

There are too many Hong Kong film companies, and a lot of them are famous. For example, General Pictures Art Co., Ltd., founded in 69, has made more than 100 films, and has made 16 movies in 86 years alone, but few people know about it.

All of the films produced by this company are small production zuò films in the B and C grades. Most of them can't enter the theater chain, and they are mainly distributed through guò video tapes as a channel, or screened in independent cinemas in some remote areas, and the distribution scope basically revolves around Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

Therefore, there was a vacancy in the summer vacation file of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and other film companies immediately filled it, and "Ghostbusters" was the first film released in the summer vacation file of the Golden Princess Theater Line.

This movie is not the "Ghostbusters" produced by Columbia Pictures in 84, it is purely the same name, and it also has the meaning of following "Human Ghost" and "Mr. Zombie".

Ye Tong, Chen Baixiang, Qian Xiaohao, Lin Zhenglang, as well as Luo Flo, Oshima Yugali, Nishikyo Michiko and other famous female stars co-starred, and the heavily dressed beauty promotional posters grabbed the attention of many citizens.

This movie is also a product of the butterfly effect, and the production company is Fuyi Films, which attracted Chen Ping'an's attention.

Cai Ziming came back early? If you dare to move me like the people of the future, don't blame me for being unkind!

In addition to Cai Ziming and his rich movies, Chen Ping'an even lamented that Jiang is still old and spicy. Zou Wenhuai, an old fox, pretended to discuss the filming of "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" with himself some time ago, how many days has it been, "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" has not progressed for a long time, but "Best Lucky Star" was suddenly released ahead of schedule!

He didn't think that Zou Wenhuai was targeting him. In business, this is a normal means of commercial competition, in order to establish Golden Harvest's leading position in the Hong Kong film industry. Listening to Li Guohao, the filming of the ending part of "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes" was very hasty, obviously influenced by Golden Harvest.

Dark Horse International has not been affected much, and it is true that "Ghost Fighting Zombie" has not been filmed yet, but Wu Yusen's "Sequel to the True Colors of Heroes" has been filmed, and the big deal is to change the order of release, the only thing that is affected is that three movies can be released in the summer of this year, which is the real killer move of Golden Harvest!

In the 70s, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers stood side by side, and after the decline of Shaw Brothers, the rise of New Art City, the strong momentum once forced Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest to join forces to fight. However, the new art city lacks heritage, with the dark horse international sideways, the new art city is declining, and this year all the problems will erupt.

In this year's film industry, among the four major cinema chains, in addition to Golden Harvest's profound heritage, the Golden Princess Cinema Line, the newly established Debao Cinema Line and the Dark Horse International Cinema Line mainly rely on the New Art City's Golden Princess Cinema Line, the newly established Debao Cinema Line and the Dark Horse International Cinema Line all lack of heritage.

Zou Wenhuai's idea is very good, "Best Lucky Star" takes the lead and wins Carmen Red, even if he loses to Chen Ping'an in the second battle, and wins back the final battle of the summer file, it can be regarded as winning the box office war of this year's summer file. As for Xinyicheng and Debao, they are not within the scope of Golden Harvest's consideration.

Personal friendship is personal friendship, and the shopping mall is ruthless, which is also the biggest reason why Ye Zhiming admires Chen Ping'an and is willing to join Dark Horse International - the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the benevolence of women has only a dead end!

"Mr. Zou, you old fox, have you been planning for a long time?"

"Hehe, A'an, I'm sure you won't be in a hurry. Besides, Golden Harvest needs a summer champion. In the second half of the year, in the second half of the year, Aaron will go to Europe to shoot "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", and then watch your dark horse international singing a one-man show. ”

Phew, you still want to lie to me, old fox!

Hanging up the phone, Chen Ping'an smoked a cigar and thought about the third movie released this summer. He now has three sets of plans, one is to schedule the schedule to Yongsheng, and the Xiang brothers treat him well, which can be regarded as a reciprocation; The second is to release "Chinese Heroes" directed and acted by Li Lianjie, he has seen this movie, it is not bad, and the box office of 10 million is definitely guaranteed, but he is more inclined to wait until the Huang Feihong series is released, and Li Lianjie will launch this movie after he becomes popular, and the box office will be higher; The third plan is for him to make another movie, anyway, there is still plenty of time, but which one to make?

"God of Gamblers"? "Prison Storm"? "Autumn Fairy Tale"? "Tiger Out of the Watch"?

It is necessary to make a blockbuster movie, and resolutely not let Golden Harvest's "conspiracy" succeed. I have let out this year's Chinese New Year and Easter files, and I am determined to get the summer and Christmas files!

Chen Ping'an fell into deep thought, and he didn't even know that Wu Yusen knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, what do you want?"

Wu Yusen's voice interrupted Chen Ping'an's thoughts: "Ah, old Wu? When did you come? Something? ”

"Is the boss worried about the third movie released in the summer? I wrote a notebook myself. Wu Yusen acted like magic, took out a script from his body, and put it in front of Chen Ping'an.

Chen Ping'an took it and took a look, only to feel the flash in front of him - "Bloody Heroes"!

The script of "Bloody Heroes", Wu Yusen wrote it very well, the plot is full and the context is clear, and the once popular chivalrous spirit, as well as the romantic feelings of sacrificing one's life for righteousness and treating each other, are perfectly integrated into this commercial violence film. There is almost no need to revise the whole script, which perfectly embodies Wu Yusen's violent aesthetic concept.

It took Chen Ping'an forty minutes to finish reading the script, which was the most detailed and serious script he had ever read.

"Boss, can you do it?" Wu Yusen asked expectantly.

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "This movie, you have to shoot it with all your heart, I can give you a year to prepare, you don't need to think about the cost, I will give you as much budget as you want, you must not be in too much of a hurry to ruin this classic film." ”

Just seeing Chen Ping'an shaking his head, Wu Yusen's heart sank, but after listening to Chen Ping'an's words, the forty-year-old almost jumped up excitedly.

That's right, he's forty years old, and he's even more excited because he's forty!

The success of "The True Colors of Heroes" sent him from the bottom to the clouds, and the outside world praised him endlessly, but he knew very well in his heart that the success of "The True Colors of Heroes" was inseparable from Chen Ping'an, including his ability to restore his confidence, and it was also because of Chen Ping'an's encouragement.

After filming "The True Color of Heroes" last year, the company did not open a new drama for him for various reasons, and he also knew the company's situation at that time, so he devoted himself to creation and spent more than half a year creating the script of "Bloody Heroes".

He's going to prove himself. "Bloody Heroes" is different from "The True Color of Heroes", it is completely his brainchild, and it is branded with his Wu's violent aesthetics from beginning to end.

He also wanted to repay Chen Ping'an for his kindness, so he learned that there was a change in the file this summer, and came to Chen Ping'an with the script.

"Then this year's summer file ......"

"You don't have to worry about the summer file, what kind of wind and waves haven't I seen? Or did I say I hadn't said it for a long time, and you all forgot about it? ”

Seeing Chen Ping'an's calm and light weight, Wu Yusen felt relaxed and said with a smile: "Believe in peace and get eternal life." Boss, I will never forget this sentence for the rest of my life. ”

"Get to the point. You must understand this script thoroughly, from casting to location selection, if you have any questions, just tell me, I will settle it for you. In a word, the company fully supports you in making this movie, and I will say hello to Sister Nansheng when I go back. ”

"Boss!" Wu Yusen has always thought that Chen Ping'an is his confidant, but he has never had the feeling of "mountains and rivers meeting bosom friends" in Chen Ping'an's period as he did today. Ever since he followed Chen Ping'an, the latter has spared no effort to support him, which he has never encountered before. "Boss, don't put so much pressure on me, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you in the future."

"Don't come with me! Shoot well, take out all your skills, and I'll have a surprise for you when it's done. ”R1152
