Time flies quickly, seeing that this weak Halloween file is about to pass, Duan Zihao is busy filming his "The True Story of A Fei", and at the same time, he also has to pay attention to the box office situation of "Mr. Zombie".

But what reassures him is that this drama has reached the point where it is hard to get a ticket. As a zombie movie with a special theme, such a drama cannot be fully released in Hong Kong, but with the help of Golden Harvest Film Company, it still won the largest theater release.

So, when the time arrives on December 15.

"Mr. Zombie" has been released in Hong Kong for more than a month. And the total box office results of this drama are about to come out.

That night, at 10 o'clock, when everyone in Hong Kong was talking about how "Mr. Zombie" was going, Duan Zihao's office was a different scene. There were piles of papers piled up on his desk, but none of them mattered, because only the paper he held in his hand that had been printed out after statistics was the real list that could reveal the final results.

"We, today, finally ushered in the most important moment, that is, the total box office results of "Mr. Zombie" in one month of release!" When Duan Zihao spoke, his face was also full of expectation, because even he didn't know what the content was in it, and how big the number was, because what he wanted was a surprise.

He turned his head to look at the other people in the room, and finally lowered his head in a trembling manner and slowly opened the paper, his pupils contracted and he took two steps back, and then suddenly roared: "The total box office result of "Mr. Zombie" in Hong Kong is 22.67 million in one month! It's 22.67 million! ”

His voice completely drowned out anything else at this moment. Or rather, everyone is just listening to him.

Incredible!

unimaginable!

You must know that the total investment in this drama is only 3 million!

You must know that this drama is a restricted movie!

The number "22.67 million" has been floating in the night sky of Hong Kong, and no one would have thought of it. is such a low-budget zombie film that has ushered in a new era of Hong Kong cinema!

……

The box office success of "Mr. Zombie" was unexpected by everyone. Especially as Hong Kong filmmakers, they think it is incredible that this drama can be so popular.

Only a few people have analyzed all the commercial elements contained in this play, funny, thrilling, and exciting. There are also an endless stream of funny passages.

And when everyone began to pay attention to the script of this play, they found out. This drama turned out to be Duan Zihao's work again!

Incredible, incredible!

How did Duan Zihao's head grow? Why was it possible to write so many movies that grossed more than 20 million?!

Could it be that he is a "tens of millions of screenwriters" who are destined to return? ”

But the other filmmakers didn't bother with these details, and they all mobilized and started tinkering with the same movie together. As a result, a large number of "zombies" such as "Zombie Principal", "Zombie Friends", "True and False Zombies", "Music Zombies" and so on were born......

In just three days, more than a dozen companies in Hong Kong announced at the same time that they were going to start filming zombie films!

It's time for zombies to follow suit!

As a person who has come over, Duan Zihao deeply understands the badness of this kind of follow-up movie in Hong Kong.

Let's not talk about the quality of this phenomenon to make movies, just say that this kind of following trend will directly shoot this kind of movie from vigorous to death!

In addition to following the trend of zombie films. Hong Kong is still following the trend of gambling films, following Duan Zihao's "God of Gamblers".

For this reason, Duan Zihao made a clear choice and directly started filming "The Saint of Gambling". pre-pay gambling films in advance to resist those shoddy and tattered movies; Similarly, in order to resist those tattered zombie films, Duan Zihao announced in advance that the project would start filming "One Eyebrow Dao Chang", and played "the original style, the original team." actor entertainment, strive to create".

It's like a trademark. Duan Zihao understands that if you want not to repeat the mistakes of the past, you must make your own movies into a brand, so that other film companies cannot copy them!

The magic of the brand comes from the quality and from the word of mouth!

Only movies with high quality and good reputation can win the hearts of the audience!

……

In the past, Duan Zihao didn't quite understand why Shaw Brothers movies always typed "Shaw Brothers production, it must be a good film" at the beginning, but now he understands that this is the brand.

And Shaw Brothers has been able to dominate the Hong Kong film industry for 30 years, also because of this irreplaceable brand effect.

Therefore, Duan Zihao understands that if you want to make a movie bigger and successful, you must take the brand route, otherwise, you will always be just a grass stage team and will never enter the stream.

Just when the whole Hong Kong film industry followed the trend of smashing zombie films, Duan Zihao's eyes were earlier than them, aiming at the Christmas file "The Saint of Gambling".

He wants to rely on this drama to once again establish the brand awareness of Actor Entertainment in the minds of Hong Kong audiences.

Anything produced by Actor Entertainment must be a good movie!

……

In order to package the drama "The Saint of Gamblers" as another gambling film brand of Actor Entertainment, as impressive as "God of Gamblers", Duan Zihao specially held a huge press conference before the release of this drama.

Because of the brand effect of "God of Gamblers" and the zombie trend created by Actor Entertainment, countless reporters gathered at this press conference.

Behind the rostrum of the conference room is a huge advertising cloth, on which there are only three people, a man and two women, two women are holding pistols, and the man is sitting on the sofa with a big back comb and a very chic smile with a poker.

His name is Zhou Xingchi, and the two women are Wu Junru and Carina Lau. And at the top of this advertisement is written exactly two words "Gambling Saint"!

Wu Junru and Carina Lau are new actors specially invited by Duan Zihao from wireless to help. At first, Wu Junru was very disgusted with her role, she took the route of a jade girl, but in the end, Duan Zihao persuaded her that actors should be able to adapt to various roles.

As for Carina Lau, she replaced the role of Zhang Min in her previous life and played the role of "Qi Meng" in the play.

With the promotional poster of "The Saint of Gambling" as the background. On the rostrum, actor entertainment boss Duan Zihao, second master Wang Jing, and director Liu Zhenwei. and the slightly immature Zhou Xingchi, the four of them all smiled and let the reporters below shoot at themselves.

For this situation, Duan Zihao and Wang Jingjing have no special ideas, after all, when "God of Gamblers" came out, it was a sensation, and now this situation is almost just a drizzle for them, and naturally it will not make them excited; However, for director Liu Zhenwei, who is eager to become famous. As for the young Zhou Xingchi, they couldn't suppress the excitement and excitement in their hearts at all. Especially Zhou Xingchi clenched his fists nervously. A face was flushed.

"This is to be a starring actor! That's when you're a star! ”

Young Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but say this to himself in his heart. When I look at the reporters, I also have the eagerness and anxiety that is unique to young actors to be interviewed.

Duan Zihao and the fat man Wang Jing looked at each other and smiled, nodded as if they understood, and then as good friends, Duan Zihao reached out and gently patted Zhou Xingchi under the table. whispered, "It's okay, Ah Xing." It's just such a little bit of momentum that excites you like this, so if one day you become the king of comedy, won't you even be able to speak? Hehe, okay, drink two more sips of water, there will be a lot of opportunities in the future, what is there to be excited about. ”

"Yes, I see!"

Zhou Xingchi was really much better when he said this. He took a few sips of the glass of water in his hand, and then sat up with a stiff smile and didn't say a word.

"Hehe, Ah Xing still has a long way to go!" The fat man Wang Jing grinned. Duan Zihao motioned for him to preside over the press conference.

So the fat man coughed, stood up, knocked on the table, and said loudly: "I have invited you here today from your busy schedule, just for one thing!" ”

He paused, glanced at the reporters below who were struggling to write, and then said loudly, "That's right. I've brought you here today to spread the word to you – it! ”

The fat man's hand pointed directly to the poster behind him, and then explained: "We are going to announce it to you today. Our latest movie "The Saint of Gambling" is about to be released. And the one who plays this play is Mr. Zhou Xingchi next to us. Also, Mr. Duan Zihao will make a cameo appearance as his God of Gamblers in the play—"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

"Joke Hawker guest appearance as God of Gamblers? The God of Gamblers and the Saint of Gambling are all out of the horse, this drama is interesting! ”

"Yes, any movie of Duan Zihao must be a masterpiece!"

"The last time he made a cameo in "Five Lucky Stars", it was very good!"

……

Using his hand to stop everyone from talking about it anymore, the fat man Wang Jing continued: "The growth of a film company needs the help of many people, especially in terms of actors, we must cultivate our own talents. And this Mr. Zhou Xingchi is our newly discovered comedy star. Of course, many people may not know him yet, but it doesn't matter, through this play, you will all be impressed by him-"

"By the way, I would also like to introduce the two characters who sacrificed for this play, one is Miss Wu Junru and the other is Mr. Wu Mengda. As for what they sacrificed in this play, you will know when you see this play. ”

After Wang Jing said these words, he smiled again: "I know everyone is thinking about what this drama has to do with "God of Gamblers"? Is it the same theme, the same story? Then I can only sell it for the time being, and ask you to go and watch this drama again. ”

"Finally, I'll announce what everyone is interested in in this movie, hehe, it's just some data!"

The fat man opened a piece of paper with a smile, and then ignored the anxiety of the reporters below, and read slowly into the microphone: "The budget of "The Saint of Gambling" is not much, only 3 million, and there are 200,000 left in the end; The filming took 12 days and 7 hours, and a total of 190 staff members participated in the performance, including cameo actors: Duan Zihao, Zheng Shaoqiu, Li Xiuxian, Zhou Yanfa, Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, ......! ”

Every time the fat man read a name, the reporters in the audience would burst into exclamations.

"Damn, this movie is too hanging, right? The cameos are all big names! ”

"Dizzy! What's going on? Why is it that a movie made by a newcomer is more powerful than the momentum of those big-name stars? ”

……

The reporters couldn't figure it out, this Zhou Xingchi was so lucky to be so highly praised. Then some people thought that the legend is true, this Zhou Xingchi is really Duan Zihao's friend and friend, and this way of praising people is too cool.

"When will this movie be officially released?"

As soon as the fat man Wang Jing's speech ended, a reporter couldn't wait to stand up and ask; And everyone else is also focusing on the fat man.

"Hehe, don't look at me, you still have to ask our boss this question." The fat man said with a smile.

So everyone focused on Duan Zihao again.

Duan Zihao smiled slightly, then raised his fingers, "Three days, it will be released on time in three days!" ”

"Okay, I won't say much about the rest, I think you should interview the director Liu Zhenwei and Xingzai more about this drama, they are the protagonists of today's press conference, aren't they?" Duan Zihao directly threw Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi to the media. (To be continued)
