Chapter 595: Thriving (Subscription Requested)
Han Jin watched "The True Colors of Heroes 2" in his previous life, although the gunfight is still gorgeous, Fa Ge is still handsome, and the brotherhood is still touching, but the plot is full of loopholes, giving people a feeling of a dog's tail and mink. ββι ββPointββSmallββ said,
It is said that it was because of the popularity of the drama "The True Color of Heroes" that the filming of the sequel was rushed to start, and Wu Yusen was asked to take people to the United States to shoot without even a page of the script. Xu Ke took another group of people to shoot in Hong Kong, and it only took more than a month to make this movie in a hurry.
Although the sequel still achieved a good box office with the help of "The True Color of Heroes", it ruined this movie that could have been continued well.
If you give Wu Yusen a little more time to prepare and polish the plot well, I believe that the new "True Colors of Heroes 2" will definitely be able to achieve better results. In this way, "True Colors of Heroes" may be like "Indiana. Jones", "Star Wars", make a series out.
Wu Yusen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Han Jin suggesting that he shoot "The True Colors of Heroes 2", "Jin Shao, "The True Colors of Heroes 1" has not been released yet, and I don't know if the box office is good or not, is it too reckless to shoot "The True Colors of Heroes 2" now?" β
"Why, don't you think 'True Colors of Heroes' is a good movie?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
Wu Yusen shook his head, "Of course not, this movie is my brainchild, and I definitely think it's a good movie." β
"That's fine, as long as it's a good movie, I'll invest in it. As for the box office or something, you don't have to worry, I just made a sum of money, eighteen million is just trivial, I can still afford to lose. Han Jin said with a smile.
Hearing him say this, everyone present couldn't help laughing.
Although Han Jin's tone is big, everyone knows that he has that strength. Thirty concerts earned nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars. With so much money, he can indeed afford to lose, and I don't think any boss in Hong Kong dares to say anything like him.
"Alright then, Jin Shao." Wu Yusen also agreed with a smile, since the boss is not afraid of losing money, what else is he hesitating about.
"Yes. The new "True Colors of Heroes 2" also has three people: Zhou Yanfa, Di Long, and Zhang Guorong. Han Jin said again.
"But Brother Pony was shot dead last time." Wu Yusen said in surprise.
"Well, isn't it easy, just arrange a twin brother for him." Han Jin said with a smile.
Wu Yusen blinked, this was indeed a solution. However, the last part didn't mention that he had twin brothers, and this time there was suddenly an extra brother, so I really have to think about it carefully to see how to make up for this loophole.
"Okay, I see, Jin Shao." Wu Yusen nodded.
Han Jin also smiled. "By the way, Brother Jing, has the Foundation received any better scripts recently?"
"Oh, there are two scripts, one is "Fierce Cat" by Yu Yun, and the other is "Life and Death" by Liang Puzhi, both of which are thriller horror films." Wang Jing said.
Han Jin smiled, "Why are they all movies with this kind of theme." Could it be that our company calls it the base camp of horror films? β
"This kind of pure horror film has not been high at the box office in Hong Kong. So they can't find anyone to invest. Wang Jing explained.
Han Jin nodded, and also knew that horror films in Hong Kong have always been shortcomings, no matter how terrifying the theme is, Hong Kong filmmakers must add some funny plots to dilute the terrifying atmosphere.
As a result, ghost movies don't look like ghost movies, but more like black comedies. It seems that Liu Zhenwei filmed "Fierce Ghost Mission" by himself. There are more funny plots than horror plots.
But to be honest, horror movies have always been in the market, especially in Japan, where horror films are a very popular genre. It's just that Hong Kong people hate this kind of theme, and the films of ordinary film companies can't be sold in Japan. As a result, this type of movie has been neglected.
After the 90s, the prosperity of horror films in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other places attracted a large number of horror film fans to pursue them wildly, creating amazing profits. In Thailand, horror films have become the main pillar of local films, and even many horror films have won the annual box office, enjoying a good reputation in Southeast Asia and even the mainland.
In fact, there is no shortage of talents in Hong Kong who make horror films, such as this Yu Yunkang, who filmed "Murder List" in 82 is still recognized as the most terrifying one in the past 20 years.
There are also Shaw Brothers' cult director Gui Zhihong, who filmed "Demon", "Gu", "Evil", etc., and Yu Rentai, who filmed "Aura", etc., are all very good horror film directors. Their directing styles are also slightly different, whether it is character portrayal, atmosphere rendering, or plot design, they are all good at winning the scene, and they are all talents that can be cultivated well.
However, Hong Kong movies don't pay too much attention to horror films, and they are all funny ghost movies like "Mr. Zombie", giving up the genre of horror films in vain.
"Okay, if they don't shoot, we'll shoot." Han Jin said with a smile, "I invested in these two movies. β
"Well, then I'll go back and ask them to come and see you." Wang Jing said.
Han Jin nodded.
"By the way, do you have anything else to add?" Han Jin asked again.
Zhang Guozhong then reported the interviews, endorsements, advertisements, performances, etc. arranged for the artists in the past month.
Yongsheng now has more than 100 actors, most of whom were received from Shaw Brothers. All their affairs, such as film and television, advertising endorsements, commercial performances, public welfare activities, media interviews, etc., need to be handled by agents.
There were no professional agents in Hong Kong before, even Zhang Guozhong, Li Jin, Chen Shujiao, etc. were not professional. Han Jin's Yongsheng Entertainment was the first company to introduce a professional agent mechanism, and for this purpose, it also specially trained a group of professional agents to help artists manage their careers.
Now Yongsheng's manager team is still 20 people, but it is no longer the same 20 people in the first batch. Now that everyone has changed three times, there are less than eight people left from the first batch to the current agents.
The company has trained 60 people from the very beginning to now, and the only ones who can really be promoted to brokers are these 20 people, and the other 40 people are still working as assistants, or have been laid off by the company, and the elimination rate is still relatively high.
What Zhang Guozhong is reporting now is the achievements of these agents. Although they are all young people. But the performance is very good. Last month, there were 20 advertising endorsements alone, with a total amount of more than HK$5 million.
There have been more than 150 interviews on the covers of major newspapers, magazine covers, and inside pages. In other words, the newspapers and magazines that appear in Hong Kong every day are full of reports on the artists of Yongsheng Entertainment.
Such a high exposure rate can naturally be exchanged for high popularity, so that the artists under Yongsheng Entertainment are always the most well-known in Hong Kong. Even second-tier artists are as popular as first-tier artists from other companies.
is like Zeng Huaqian, a subsidiary of the company, who has only made two movies, and is at most second-tier in the entertainment industry. But the popularity is not inferior to Jiahe's first-line actress Hu Huizhong.
The reason why this is so is that the packaging is missing.
In addition to the style of the clothing, the makeup she makes, the hairstyle she keeps, and even the way she walks, her own conversation, etc., are carefully adjusted.
All photos in the media. They are all photographed by famous artists, and the most beautiful ones are carefully selected and handed over to newspapers and magazines. Zeng Huaqian was originally a first-class beauty, which added a lot of points, and she attracted countless fans with that face alone.
In addition, Yongsheng asked a few pens to write articles to help her tout, and Zeng Huaqian herself is indeed very powerful. So as soon as she came and went, she quickly became popular in Xiangjiang.
On the other hand, Hu Huizhong was a smash hit in Hong Kong after filming "Lucky Star" and "Summer Lucky Star". Many people like this heroic overlord flower very much. Her posters even sold out of stock at one point.
However, Golden Harvest lacked experience in star packaging and did not seize this opportunity in time. further deepened the publicity of Hu Huizhong and consolidated her status as a current first-line actress.
The competition in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very fierce, with two to three new films released every week, plus TV series launched by TVB and ATV, female singers launched by record companies, and female models launched by advertising companies......
On average, almost 20 new actresses in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are launched every week. Coupled with the old actresses before, the number of actresses will almost exceed 10,000.
So many people want to strive for the top, and in the entertainment industry, it is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. Hu Huizhong missed the opportunity to improve. I can only regretfully give way to the newcomer.
"Good, good job. Give them an extra HK$200,000 bonus this month. After listening to Zhang Guozhong's report, Han Jin said with satisfaction.
Zhang Guozhong smiled and nodded, "Then I'll thank Jin Shao on their behalf." β
"Yes." Han Jin nodded.
Subsequently, Yu Zheng reported to him on the use of the company's public relations funds.
Yongsheng now has 2 million Hong Kong dollars of public relations funds every month, all of which are used to win relationships with major media.
Having a meal, giving a gift, sponsoring an event, such a large amount of money naturally makes the relationship between Hong Kong media and Yongsheng Entertainment very harmonious.
In this way, it is difficult to see news in the media that is not conducive to Yongsheng Entertainment. It seems that the last time Han Jin and Liu Luanxiong fought, many media received the news, but none of them published the news. Just because I usually sprinkle a lot of silver paper, I have a good relationship with the media, and I can help suppress any bad news.
Of course, if there is good news, it will naturally be vigorously promoted. For example, stars, new films, and albums are all praised.
On the contrary, like Golden Harvest, it does not pay much attention to the media, and it is also reluctant to spend too much money. Therefore, when the new film is released, it is always scolded, and there are scandals about celebrities every now and then.
"Okay, let's put more effort into the media in the future." Han Jin nodded and said, "The media is very important, everyone, don't ignore it." β
After Yu Zheng finished reporting, Ji Fanghua reported on last month's box office. Yongsheng Cinema released a total of seven films last month, including Zheng Zeshi's "Why Have Me", Wu Siyuan's "The Law Inside" and other films, all of which have achieved very good results. At the same time, the reputation of these two movies is also very good, which made many viewers bow to tears of sympathy.
of these two films, one made Zheng Zeshi popular and made him the best actor at the Academy Awards; A film made Liu Dehua popular, letting people know that he was not just handsome.
"Jin Shao, the total box office of our cinema line last month was 23 million Hong Kong dollars, and our share of revenue reached 11 million Hong Kong dollars." Ji Fanghua finally reported.
Han Jin nodded, "Okay, everyone is doing a good job, is there anything else to report?" β
"Ah Jin, I heard that Taiwan intends to lift the ban on you." Wang Jing said, "But it seems that you have to write a letter of apology, I don't know if you want to give in?" β
Han Jin nodded, since the last time he performed at the Save Africa concert, Taiwan did not cut off the live broadcast signal, and he knew that the Taiwan authorities had that meaning.
Probably because he is now more popular in the international arena, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States and other countries, and he has become a shareholder of Sony Records before, so that Taiwan is also facing huge international pressure, so that they are forced to make this choice.
But if you ask him to write a "letter of apology", then forget it! (To be continued......)
