Chapter 588: Zhang Jianting came to vote

Because Han Jin's concert is too high-profile, there are countless singers who want to be guests for him, and the list is full of two pages. He wondered if these record companies had copied the names of all their singers in line with the principle of "planting widely and reaping little".

Han Jin didn't want to disappoint them too much, and decided to invite three guests for each concert. When the time comes, the more famous ones will sing solo, and the less famous ones will sing with themselves.

In this way, 30 concerts can digest 90 singers, basically Hong Kong's first-tier and second-tier singers can be included.

In addition to Xu Guanjie, Xu Xiaofeng, Tan Yilin, Zhang Guorong, Luo Wen and other first-line singers, second-line singers such as Zhang Xueyou, Chen Huixian, Lu Fang, etc., are also on the list of his invitees.

Zhang Yaorong couldn't help but laugh happily when he saw that he had chosen so many people in one go. The people on these lists were all recommended by the record company to him, and the promised benefits will naturally not be less.

Han Jin chose nearly 100 people in this choice, which is equivalent to these record companies owing him 90 favors, which can be repaid slowly in the future.

"Okay, let's pick these people." Han Jin said with a smile, "Zhang Sheng, you can deduct the appearance fee from my income, don't let everyone work in vain." ”

"You're welcome, Han Sheng. I'll pay for it. Zhang Yaorong took the initiative to take care of the road.

This time, Han Jinti made hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars for him, and he got such a big benefit, so naturally he couldn't pretend to be a fool. At a critical time, you have to give up some small profits. In this way, Han Jin can be enveloped, otherwise people won't take him to play next time.

"Okay then, trouble Zhang Sheng." Han Jin nodded and said, but he didn't fight anymore.

Ninety singers, one singer gives 50,000 yuan, which is only more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars. He gave Zhang Yaorong 180 million. That's enough for him to pay the bill.

"By the way, Ah Jin, I know you're going to have a concert. There's a lot of multimedia I want to interview you. Not only in Hong Kong, but also in Nanyang, Japan, and Taiwan. Do you think you should take the time to meet them? Su Xiaoliang asked with a smile.

Han Jin smiled, "It's okay, then Mr. Su, you helped me arrange it, I should have time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." When the time comes, Mr. Zhang, you can also notify a few concert guests to come and cheer. ”

"Okay, I'll let you know." Zhang Yaorong also nodded with a smile.

At Han Jin's press conference, there must have been a lot of media present. It is a very good publicity opportunity for artists, and I believe that everyone will rush to come when the time comes.

"Han Sheng, there must have been a lot of singers coming to cheer that day, I'm worried that too many people won't be good. Do you see anyone in particular who you'd like to attend? Zhang Yaorong thought about it and asked again.

If there are 70 or 80 performers at the press conference, and there are more guests than reporters, then the press conference will become a big joke. When the time comes, one person will only say one word, and it is estimated that half an hour has passed, so what kind of meeting will there be?

"Well, Sally Ye Qianwen, as well as Polygram's Zhang Xueyou, Chen Huixian, Huaxing's Lu Fang, Zhang Guorong, and Mei Yanfang. New Yibao's happy girl group can be. Han Jin said with a smile.

Ye Qianwen is his old friend, and she offended Warner Records because she was involved in the "Zhaomen" incident a few years ago. Now it is still hidden by Warner Records.

However, there has been no problem in life, Han Jin gives her a sum of money every month, which is much more than what she earned before. Although she is now hidden in the snow, Ye Qianwen has not sunk, she is actively recharging every day, learning Cantonese, learning to sing, learning to act, and preparing for the lifting of the lockdown a year later.

"Okay. I'll be sure to let you know. Zhang Yaorong said with a smile.

"Well, if it's okay. Then I'll go first. Han Jin nodded.

……

After leaving Huaxing Records, Han Jin returned to Yongsheng Entertainment.

"There is little energy. "The True Color of Heroes" has been completed, and it is now in the late stage, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a few days. Wu Yusen reported to Han Jin.

Now Wang Jing led people to Egypt to shoot the location of "Magic Jade", and Wu Yusen temporarily took his place as the production manager.

"Okay, congratulations to Director Wu." Han Jin smiled and nodded.

"I'm happy and happy, and I want to thank you for the two songs you wrote. That's a good sound! Wu Yusen also smiled happily.

Han Jin wrote two songs for "The True Color of Heroes", one is "Tomorrow Will Be Better", and the other is Zhang Guorong's classic song "Love of the Year".

"Tomorrow Will Be Better" was originally a public welfare song made by Taiwanese singers in the previous life for the 40th anniversary of Taiwan's liberation, but this year for some reason this song did not appear, and was replaced by another song called "Hope", both the melody and lyrics are very different from this "Tomorrow Will Be Better".

Han Jin estimates that it may be the "butterfly effect" caused by his own crossing, which made this classic song not appear in this history.

"You're welcome, just use it." Han Jin smiled.

"By the way, Jin Shao, I don't know when this movie should be released?" Wu Yusen asked again.

"Well, don't worry, I plan to move it to the Christmas schedule and release it again." Han Jin said, "This is a good movie, you have to arrange a good schedule, don't waste it." ”

Wu Yusen couldn't help but laugh happily when he heard it, everyone knows that the Christmas schedule, the Spring Festival schedule and the summer vacation schedule are the three prime times of movies, and the box office of the movies that can be released in these three schedules is generally two to three percent higher than usual.

If his "True Colors of Heroes" is released during the Christmas schedule, it will be easier to achieve a high box office. It's a great thing for him as a director.

"Thank you, Jinshao." Wu Yusen said happily.

"Well, has anything happened in the past few days since I was away?" Han Jin asked again.

"Oh, Zhang Jianting sent a script, I think it's quite interesting, it's just too weird. I don't know if I should approve him. Wu Yusen said.

Han Jin smiled, he knew that Zhang Jianting was a well-known film director in Hong Kong, and he was good at urban white-collar comedies, such as "Seven Days of Wrong Love", "Cousin, hello!" ", "Thirty Virgins", etc., were all written and directed by him, and they all achieved very good box office.

"Seven Days of Wrong Love" broke the previous box office record of Shaw Brothers, making Zhang Jianting a very outstanding new director of Shaw Brothers.

Originally, he was also pinned on by the Shaw Brothers. But it's a pity that now with the closure of Shaw Brothers, the director who originally had high hopes is now a little disappointed, and he hasn't started filming a new film for half a year.

knew that Han Jin had a film foundation. To be able to sponsor directors to start making new films and fulfill their dreams. Zhang Jianting, who was born as a screenwriter, came up with a script and sent it to apply.

"Good. Bring me the script. Han Jin said.

Wu Yusen nodded, and then took Zhang Jianting's script.

Han Jin took it and took a look, and saw that the title of the script was "Two In-laws and Eight Hearts", and he felt a little strange when he looked at the name.

Looking at the story again, it is a rare three-stage structure in Hong Kong films.

There are three stories told in one script, and there is no connection between the stories, but the core of the story is the same. Three stories, one about the past and one about the present. One talks about the future, all of them are full of suspense, and some clips are a little chilling.

After Han Jin finished reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder Wu Yusen didn't know whether to shoot this movie or not, it was indeed weird enough.

This kind of three-part story, after director Li Hanxiang, generally no one is willing to shoot it. Because three-part films are limited by space, a story is usually only about half an hour long. In such a short period of time, the director has to complete the beginning and end. Progressively, etc., it is indeed a big challenge for them.

What's more, the audience is not waiting for this kind of three-part film, they are used to watching an hour and a half of movies. Naturally, I am not used to this kind of movie that changes the story every half hour.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jianting wanted to challenge this three-stage story structure, and he also came to apply for funds from him.

Han Jin knew that Zhang Jianting was a talent, otherwise he would not have sent someone to dig him up. He also knew that the script was actually well written, and from his perspective of thirty years ahead, all three stories could be called a bit avant-garde.

However, with such an avant-garde story, coupled with a three-stage structure, the box office is naturally not too sure. What's more, Zhang Jianting still writes suspense stories, which is even more unlikely to achieve a high box office.

But all suspense stories. This is true in Hong Kong, where the box office is usually relatively low. This has to do with the cultural level of Hong Kong moviegoers.

Audiences watching Hong Kong-made films in Hong Kong now. Most of them are in the middle and lower classes of society, and their educational qualifications are generally not high. A college degree is very rare. Generally, there is only a secondary school education, or even a primary school education.

This also makes them very uninterested in those high-IQ movies, the more plain and popular they are, the more popular they are. Therefore, Wang Jing's and pee movies have always been very popular at the box office in Hong Kong.

On the contrary, films like Wang Jiawei, which is very popular with mainland petty bourgeoisie, generally hit the box office in Hong Kong. Liu Zhenwei took Zhou Xingchi to shoot "The Saint of Gambling", and if he wanted to be deeper, he immediately hit the street when he filmed "Journey to the West".

And "Journey to the West" was able to become a classic, but it was sought after by mainland college students, and then with the help of the rising Internet at that time, the exposure of this movie greatly increased. In that year, the post of deconstructing "Journey to the West" had the highest click rate on BBS (forum).

In the early years, Hong Kong films were very popular in the mainland, and all kinds of pirated VCDs and videos were everywhere. But nowadays, Hong Kong movies are too lazy to even download them for free online.

It is because of the improvement of the cultural level of mainland audiences, everyone used to be primary school students, middle school students, and high school students, and they all felt very happy watching this kind of popular and plain Hong Kong films.

But now the cultural level of mainland audiences has improved, but Hong Kong directors have not grown. Wang Jing is still the same gambling film, Huang Baiming is still in the "Happy Events" series, and Liu Zhenwei is still playing the "Big Talk" series, all of which are fried before the cold rice. No wonder the reputation of the movie is worse than the other, and they are all scolded for being naΓ―ve, boring and fooling people.

And Du Qifeng, who can keep pace with the times and make high-quality movies, has won unanimous praise from mainland and Hong Kong audiences because of his superb narrative style and unconventional plot.

Today's Hong Kong is just like the mainland in the 90s, and the level of appreciation of movies is still at a relatively low level. Therefore, Zhang Jianting plays such a high-level movie, plays suspense, and plays high IQ, which seems a bit sunny and snowy.

"Spring and white snow" is usually followed by a sentence, "high and low".

A three-part movie, the story is so avant-garde, and it is full of suspense, if this movie is invested, it is estimated that it will not even be able to recover the cost.

Han Jin knew this, and Wu Yusen naturally knew it, so although he praised the script for being well written, he didn't have the courage to give him approval.

Because it is really difficult for this movie to achieve a high box office, and if he loses money, he has no way to explain to Han Jin. Fortunately, more is better than less, so it's better to leave it to Han Jin to decide.

"Call Director Zhang, I've shot this movie." Han Jin said with a smile.

"Jin Shao, don't think about it anymore, it's hard for me to get a high box office in this movie." Wu Yusen saw that Han Jin agreed so happily, afraid that he didn't see it clearly, so he hurriedly reminded him again.

"Don't think about it, just decide. If you lose your capital, you will lose your capital. Han Jin said with a smile. (To be continued)
