Jet Li must sign it, but the problem is that Chen Ping'an can't find anyone now. Liang Jiahui and the dwarf ox led people to plow Hong Kong three times, but they didn't find Jet Li.

It wasn't until the beginning of February this year that "North and South Shaolin" was released in Shuangnan Theaters and achieved a box office of 18 million, and Chen Ping'an knew that Jet Li was filming in the mainland.

Liu Jialiang did not bring good news, after the filming of "North and South Shaolin", he stayed in the mainland for a few months, and he did not know where Jet Li went. However, he found a good young man in the mainland, named Xiong Xinxin, who served as Jet Li's stand-in in "North and South Shaolin", and was praised by him.

Xiong Xinxin? Oh, Devil's Foot Seven!

Chen Ping'an remembered Xiong Xinxin, and immediately entrusted Liu Jialiang to invite Xiong Xinxin to Hong Kong, first join the Chen family class, and the company was responsible for all expenses.

After a brief chat with the Chen family, Chen Ping'an said goodbye and left. He still has business to do, and before "Blood Spot" starts, he must first determine the cast of "Underground Love".

He has finished writing the script of "Blood Spot", changing the karate in it to Jeet Kune Do, and there is no Japanese karate family, but Jeet Kune Do is a hidden heir, and the other plots have not changed much.

Shang Ge Yunton, who played the leading role, accidentally met the retired Jeet Kune Do descendant - played by Huang Jinming, and by chance became the sparring partner of the son of the heir (played by Li Guohao) and learned Jeet Kune Do. When he became an adult, he joined the army, but escaped from the barracks in order to participate in the five-year underground martial arts tournament held in the middle of the Walled City in Kowloon, Hong Kong.

He studied Jeet Kune Do with Wong for several months before heading to Hong Kong. Not only does he have to win the martial arts championship, but he also has to avenge the son of the heir and his senior brother. The son of the heir died in the despicable tactics of his opponent at the martial arts tournament five years ago.

CIA agents also found the Jeet Kune Do transmitter and then rushed to Hong Kong, where they worked with the Hong Kong police to try to stop Shang from continuing to compete. At the same time, a beautiful reporter from the United States wanted to report on the martial arts conference and his deeds after he heroically saved the United States......

In the end, he made it to the tiebreaker and met the villain who killed the son of the heir by conspiracy. During the promotion process, the villain found that Shang Ge Yunton's kung fu and skills were above his own and it was not easy to deal with, so he repeated his old tricks and poured salt into Shang Ge Yundun's eyes in the game.

However, before Shang Geyundun came to participate in the competition, he had practiced the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish the position with the Guiyin heirs, and after the salt could not open his eyes, he finally killed the villain with his ears instead of eyes, not only becoming the first Westerner to win the martial arts conference, but also avenging his senior brother.

The plot of this movie is relatively simple, and it can even be described as thin, and there are no too high requirements for acting, the biggest selling point is the fighting, the collision of muscles, fists to the flesh and blood and sweat, and Shang Geyundun's signature actions of a word horse and 360° air spinning kicks.

If this movie is released in Hong Kong, it will definitely be a golden sign to ruin Chen Ping'an, and there is no need to look forward to the box office. But for Westerners who like to stimulate violence, there is still a market for this million-dollar film.

In the 80s and 90s, in order to adapt to the regulations of different places, Hong Kong films would be released in three versions: the mildest version was sent to Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan, and the more intense version was left to Hong Kong, while the bloodiest version was sent to Europe and North America, which were more relaxed in the electronic inspection areas.

"Blood Spot" is also a movie about a knife and a big tree, with an investment of $1.5 million in later generations, and a box office income of $30 million; Shang Gowenton's kung fu will also enter the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers through the film guò; And all the filming of this movie can be completed in Hong Kong, otherwise why would Chen Ping'an make this kind of movie?

The actors of "Blood Spot" are easy to find, and it is not difficult to shoot, so there is no hurry to start filming, what is anxious is to determine the cast of "Underground Love".

Guan Jinpeng's "Underground Love", which is ready to start filming, is planned to be released on the Easter schedule, according to Chen Ping'an's arrangement, the literary films promoted by Dark Horse International in the future will be arranged in the Easter schedule, as for the summer file, Christmas file and Chinese New Year file, it is still mainly commercial films, and the box office is rolled.

After the renaming ceremony of the World Trade Building, the Dark Horse International Cinema Line was officially announced. The original eight cinemas of Shaw Brothers, plus Yau Ma Tei Cinema, Taiping Cinema, Gem Cinema, Victory Cinema, Tokyo Cinema, Jinling Cinema, etc., and the Bili Palace Cinema on the first floor of the World Trade Tower, a total of 15 cinemas, formed the Dark Horse International Cinema Line, with Jiang Zhiqiang as the general manager.

As for the source problem that plagued Jiang Zhiqiang, it was also easily resolved by Chen Ping'an. Dark Horse International Cinemas announced the cancellation of the cinema package system and changed to a pure box office sharing system.

The so-called cinema contract system, that is, if a production company wants to take a movie to a certain movie theater, it must decide to pay a monthly charter fee according to the seats, equipment, and expenses of the cinema, and no matter how much the theater earns every day, it must pay the charter fee on a monthly basis.

Such a system guarantees the interests of the theater at most, but it is more harsh for the production company, if the film is not satisfactory, and the box office is too low, it may not even be enough to pay the charter fee, and they have to pay for the movie to the theater themselves.

The pure box office sharing system launched by Dark Horse International Cinemas has lowered the box office sharing ratio, except for the films produced by Yongsheng Pictures, which are divided into four or six shares, and other film companies are divided according to three or seven. The three-seven division is just the beginning, but for any independent film company that cooperates with Dark Horse International Cinemas, Jiang Zhiqiang will ask the staff to establish a system file, upgrade the VIP level according to the box office performance of the other party, and divide it into five grades, and the sharing ratio is divided into three, three-point-five, four, four-point-five, five, a total of five grades.

After the introduction of the reform system, it caused some repercussions in the Hong Kong film industry. The three cinema chains of Golden Harvest, New Art City and Debao all take a wait-and-see attitude and temporarily retain the cinema package system, but it is not ruled out that they will become the second person to eat crabs in the future. In the final analysis, it still depends on the results of the dark horse cinema line, and let's speak by the results.

This March can be described as the spring of independent film companies. Some film companies have begun to cooperate with Dark Horse Cinemas, and now "Bad Girl" released by Dark Horse Cinemas is made by an independent film company, directed by Xiao Jiarong and starring Anita Mui.

But what can really carry the banner of the theater chain is the movie produced by Dark Horse International Film Company, and "Underground Love" directed by Kwan Jinpeng will be the first Dark Horse International movie to be released in Dark Horse Theaters and meet the public during Easter.

"Underground Love" is a Hong Kong literary film with a "Taiwanese flavor", which belongs to the genre that is absolutely popular in later generations, and won seven nominations and two trophies at the 87 Academy Awards, but the box office was only more than 5 million, and it was hurriedly painted ten days after its release.

If this life's "Underground Love" is still this kind of achievement, Dark Horse International will be completely dumb in the first shot this year.

10 million, the box office must at least exceed 10 million! This is the minimum standard set by Chen Ping'an.

came to the audition room, director Kwan Jinpeng, assistant director Leung Ka-fai, screenwriter Li Jie, and cameraman Bao Dexi all sat inside to enjoy Leung Chaowei's performance.

Dark Horse International started filming "Underground Love" and invited some celebrities to audition, which caused a small sensation in the circle. It is true that "Underground Love" is a literary film, but Dark Horse International has successively launched two literary films "Ghost Love" and "Dao Ma Dan", which are both successful, which makes people look forward to "Underground Love".

Although the director of "Underground Love" is Guan Jinpeng, Chen Ping'an is the producer. The celebrities who received the audition invitation were excited, and some of the stars who did not receive the invitation wanted to come to the audition, asking someone to say hello to Guan Jinpeng and Liang Jiahui, and even some people to say hello to Chen Ping'an through Guò Chenglong.

Chen Ping'an simply let out the wind in the circle, and any interested actor can come to audition, and the audition schedule and role list are posted in the lobby on the first floor of the World Trade Center. Anyway, he didn't plan to start filming completely according to the cast of later generations, because he would definitely not let Zhou Runfa play the detective Lan Zhenqiang in it.

Liang Chaowei received an audition invitation from Dark Horse International, asking him to audition for the role of Zhang Shuhai, the actor of "Underground Love", and he was very excited. Not to mention whether the movie can be successful, the salary of 150,000 yuan is a lot of income for him, how many TV series does he have to make to make so much money?

In 83 and 85, he took over two Shaw Brothers movies, "Crazy 83" and "Flower Heart Red Apricot", with a salary of only tens of thousands of yuan, so whether it was for a salary of 150,000 yuan or the opportunity to become famous on the big screen, he was very well prepared and wanted to get the corner of Zhang Shuhai.

"How's Wei Tsai?" Chen Ping'an glanced at it twice and asked Guan Jinpeng and the others in a low voice.

There are several actors who came to audition for the leading actor, and even Andy Lau and Zhou Xingchi came. However, Liang Chaowei's expression is more in line with the image of the protagonist in the screenwriter Li Jie's mind, Bao Dexi said that Liang Chaowei is very photogenic, Guan Jinpeng also affirmed Liang Chaowei's acting skills, and Chen Ping'an originally liked Liang Chaowei, so he said directly: "You can stop Wei Zai, it's you." Before leaving, go to Director Liang Jiahui to get your script, and go back to prepare well. ”

Less than three minutes after Chen Ping'an came in, he whispered to a few other interviewers and then asked himself to stop performing. At first, Liang Chaowei thought that he had been passed, but who thought that Chen Ping'an would immediately say the words "It's you", which made him ecstatic.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Chen, thank you Director Guan, Director Liang, thank you Mr. Bao and Mr. Li, thank you, I will definitely play this role well."

After the actor is decided, it's time to interview the female lead. In the role of Ruan Belle in the play, Dark Horse International sent an audition invitation to Wen Bibian, Wen Bibian was also very excited at the time, especially when she heard that Liang Chaowei, who was also invited to audition, was determined to play the leading role, and she felt that she was also sure to play the heroine.

However, when the staff called her to audition, she saw Guan Zhilin walking out of the audition room with a smile on his face and passing by her...... RS
