Chapter 287: Christmas Strong

Shaw Brothers Cinemas is Han Jin's last choice, and he has no choice but to do so, and he doesn't like to be screened in Shaw Cinemas.

Because this theater chain is now quite lonely, most of the films released only have a box office of two or three million, and most young people don't like to go to Shaw Brothers to watch movies.

Go to New Art City to watch comedy, go to Golden Harvest to watch action movies, there are only some low-cost martial arts films on the Shaw Brothers side, and literary films that no one can understand.

Shao Yifu heard that Han Jin's film was finished, so he personally took it over and enjoyed it. After watching it, I felt that although the film was a little nonsense, there were so many passion scenes, coupled with Han Jin's popularity, at least five or six million box office, so I agreed to arrange for it to be released in its ten theaters, and the schedule was given until Christmas.

The Christmas schedule is the prime time for Hong Kong films, and they are usually released in a bunch of blockbusters. Shaw Brothers has been beaten to the point of not being able to do anything in the past few years, and this year he wants to use Han Jin's "Color is Empty" to rush to joy.

Hearing that it was scheduled to be released during the Christmas schedule, Wang Jing couldn't help but feel bitter, because he had already heard that the movie "Merry Christmas" starring Mai Jia, Xu Xiaofeng, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, and Li Lizhen would be released in Xinyicheng on Christmas. and Golden Harvest released Hong Jingbao and Lin Zixiang's "The Owl and Dumbo".

The lineup of these two movies is quite strong, and it goes without saying that Mai Jia is the big boss of Xinyi City, the protagonist of the "Best Partner" series, and has also won the Academy Award for Best Actor. And this film also has Xu Xiaofeng, the eldest sister in the music world, Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang, two first-line stars in the music world, and Li Lizhen, a little flower who has just taken the position...... The film is a family-style comedy, and the whole family is invited. Coupled with Princess Jin's hard work, it goes without saying that the box office of this film must be quite strong.

"The Owl and Dumbo" stars Hung Jingbao and Lin Zixiang, Hung Jingbao is the leading boss of Hong Kong action films, "Five Lucky Stars", "Scary People", "Ghost Fight" ...... The best movies are one after another, and there is so much money that even Cheng Long has to bow down.

Lin Zixiang is a first-line red singer in the music industry, and his status in the film industry is also extraordinary, "Modern Dirtyman", "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Many Stars", "I Love Night Primrose", "British Rose" ...... It is also a good work.

In addition, this film is the first film that Pan Disheng invested in after he became the owner of Debao, and it is still his girlfriend Yang Ziqiong who is highly praised, so the publicity is also overwhelming. Full of wealthy style.

Fight in the ring with these two fierce films. Everyone is a heavyweight player with a cost of tens of millions, and the publicity fee is two or three million. The cost of the film "Color is Empty" is only about 4.5 million, and the publicity fee is only a little bit, which completely depends on Han Jin's popularity to promote. It's completely lightweight compared to others. It's simply not enough to fight.

Therefore, Wang Jing almost turned white overnight.

Other filmmakers are also waiting to see Han Jin's jokes. Who made him so happy this year? The more jealous people are if they are too high, and they are the same as those who live in a clean world!

Han Jin earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars this year and gained a lot of fame. It's been a jealousy for a long time. Now many people are waiting to see him unlucky.

"Merry Christmas" and "The Owl and Dumbo" are both blockbusters of tens of millions, with bright stars, and the theme is a family movie, suitable for a family to watch, with a strong audience base.

"Color is Empty" is a low-budget movie of five million, the slogan of external publicity is eight million, the stars are dim, except for Han Jin, none of the rest are famous actors, all of them are those small actors from TVB and Shaw Brothers.

And the most important thing is a Fengyue film, first of all, the female audience is excluded, and secondly, children will not watch it, and the elderly will not watch it. Only the salty and wet guys, the young people will go in and see. The audience base is much thinner than the other two movies, even if Han Jin has the ability again, this time he will not be able to recover.

……

The road to inspection of "Color is Empty" is not very easy, and many passionate scenes are required to be deleted.

Han Jin and Wang Jing argued on the basis of reason, and clamored to ask a lawyer to file a lawsuit with the Electricity Inspection Office, and said to the outside world that "Color is Empty" is too large in scale and may become the only banned film in Hong Kong.

For a while, it was full of turmoil in the city.

In the end, after some deletions and changes, it was finally reviewed, but the result was much better than Han Jin and Wang Jingxiang.

The first film they submitted for review was deliberately cut to a larger scale, but there were actually other small-scale shots.

When the electrical inspection department rejected, they replaced it with a small scale, so that their side has regressed, and the electrical inspection department is naturally not easy to force layer by layer. If it was a small scale from the beginning, I am afraid that the electrical inspection office would force them to modify it into a movie without scale.

After the review by the Electricity Inspection Office, "Color is Empty" is waiting to be released.

At this moment, he has been contacted by overseas filmmakers to buy the video rights of the movie "Color is Empty".

Fengyue films are restricted in Southeast Asian countries, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries are not allowed to be released, Singapore and Thailand need to be screened in designated theaters, and Taiwan is also not allowed to release Fengyue films...... However, when it comes to videotapes, they don't have much of a limit.

These overseas filmmakers also want to acquire the rights to video tapes, and in this field, Fengyue Film has always had advantages that other film genres do not have.

The drama "Color is Empty" is also noisy in Southeast Asia because of the big star Han Jin, and the publicity is well-known.

Overseas filmmakers have long seen the business opportunities, but the price they give is not high at present, and the highest Meiya Entertainment is only priced at 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which makes Han Jin bother to pay attention to him.

Han Jin has already made a decision, if these filmmakers don't give a high price, he would rather let He Shenghe smuggle to make money. Genuine video tapes are sold for forty or fifty because they have to pay a huge tax. But like piracy, you can save the cost of paying taxes, even if you sell a box for ten yuan, you can make money.

Heshenghe has business dealings with Southeast Asian countries, and smuggling video tapes is just a piece of cake. The market in Southeast Asia is so big, not to mention anything else, there are tens of millions of profits from selling one million boxes. It's not much better than giving those bastards and black-hearted filmmakers.

Han Jin calmed down and fought patiently with those filmmakers. By the way, I am also preparing for my new album.

In the past six months, I have held concerts and made movies again, and I haven't released new songs for a while.

Just as the holiday is about to be celebrated, Han Jin is thinking about launching his latest album.

Huaxing Records has been waiting for him to return for a long time, and to be honest, they have always disapproved of him doing any film side business.

It's good to release an album at a good end, how good it is to hold a concert, and it's easy to make a lot of money, so why bother making any ghost movies. I have to strip naked and go into battle, and I don't know how much the box office can reach. It's definitely more than worth the loss.

"Ah Jin. If only you could understand that. Su Xiaoliang said with a smile, "How about it, at the end of the year, do you want to hold a few more concerts." Mr. Zhang Yaorong has been waiting for news. ”

"There's no hurry. I'll talk about it when I have a new album. Han Jin smiled. He felt that he had just finished the tour for a few days, and he really didn't want to restart the concert so soon, because it was really exhausting.

"It's fine. Any ideas for the new album? Su Xiaoliang asked with a smile again, "Do you still want to release a dance music album?" ”

"Well, but I'm not going to play disco this time, I'm going to play house music." Han Jin said with a smile.

"What?! What house music? Su Xiaoliang asked suspiciously.

"Mr. Su, do you remember the DJ dance music I performed at the concert?" Han Jin asked with a smile.

Su Xiaoliang nodded, after the music was remixed, the effect was really shocking. Even he, who didn't like to dance, danced to his heart's content.

"That's house music, it's more energetic and dynamic than disco music," Han Jin explained with a smile......

Su Xiaoliang's eyes lit up, "No wonder, that's good, that's good~"

Han Jin also smiled, "Now many singers in Hong Kong have begun to follow my example and take the dance music route, taking a lot of European and American dance music to cover and sell for money, and then imagine releasing a disco album like before, it will be difficult to bring people freshness, so I want to ask for new changes." ”

"That's right." Su Xiaoliang nodded.

This year, Tan Yilin, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang and other singers have all embarked on the disco dance music route.

Although the musicians here in Hong Kong are not good at dance music, they are good at "take-it-or-leave-it". Take out the European and American dance music and refill the lyrics, or cover it directly without modifying the words, anyway, as long as the song is good, the fans don't care, so this year has made a lot of money.

Although Han Jin was a little dissatisfied with this phenomenon of fishing with all his might, he couldn't stop people's wealth, so he had to take a step forward, leave the "rotten quagmire" of disco music, and trek upstream to the unpolluted and clean land.

House music, born out of disco music, but better than disco music, the way of creation is simpler and freer, and it can be integrated with other music, such as jazz, hip-hop, spiritual music, etc., exhibiting a variety of different styles.

Han Jin's album contains fresh songs such as "Eyebrow Dance", "Unique", "Balabala Cherry Blossom", "Lemon Tree", "Hot Beat" and other fresh and good songs, which are guaranteed to shock the ears of fans.

The new album is scheduled to release in early December, so it's time to promote the movie.

On the Japanese side, Han Jin has a contract for two records and ten singles. Taking advantage of the time now, Han Jin also recorded four Japanese songs, all of which were best-selling classics in the eighties and five-year-olds.

In the next month, Han Jin spent time in frequent song recordings.

……

In addition to recording songs, Han Jin also took the time to buy a mansion for Chen Yulian, which was arranged near Sister Mei's house, which was only fifty meters away, and it didn't take even a minute to walk.

She finished her work in Taiwan in November and returned to Hong Kong to exhibit. knew that Han Jin's first film was actually a Fengyue film, and he also had ** scenes with two beauties, and she was so angry that she almost flew back to Taiwan at that time.

Fortunately, Han Jin explained his difficulties to her, which made her angry, but he also said that he was not allowed to use the name of filming to manipulate the woman, let alone be tempted by this.

Han Jin agreed one by one, although he had passion scenes with Lan Jieyuan and Wu Jiali in this movie, he was really not tempted.

In fact, it's not just Chen Yulian who can't think about it, Zhao Yazhi, and Zeng Huaqian can't think about it at first, and they don't understand why he wants to shoot Fengyue films. Only Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong expressed their understanding of him.

Han Jin also persuaded them for a long time before he finally coaxed them to be happy, but in fact, he was really forced to make Fengyue films. But now that the movies have been filmed, I won't say anything superfluous, Han Jin just wants to wait for the final box office results, hoping to be worthy of his sacrifice.

At the beginning of December, Han Jin's latest album "Unique" was officially launched.

Because of the singer's intensive release of disco dance music in the second half of the year, fans felt a little hurt when they heard it, so this "Unique" was not too popular when it was launched, and the sales on the first day were only 100,000 copies.

In the eyes of others, it is already a lot, but compared with Han Jin's previous results, this sales volume is a bit miserable.

For a while, many people began to wonder if Han Jin was already Jiang Lang's end. (To be continued!)
