Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Huang Zhan got Li Mingbao's list, and he was not polite, and asked for 5,000 directly. and also said eloquently, since Li Mingbao is a tens of millions of producers, he must be generous, plus his Huang Zhan is also a well-known soundtrack in Hong Kong, and the money is less, which is not in line with the identities of both parties.
originally thought that it was a good idea to let Huang Zhan do the soundtrack, but being blackmailed by Huang Zhan like this, Li Mingbao was really distressed. Well, the soundtrack fee of 5,000 yuan can be worth the salary of Li Mingbao for inviting Zhou Yan to make a cameo. Uncle Zhan's appetite is not ordinarily big, it's only been eighty years, Uncle Zhan dares to ask for five thousand if he has music, and Gu Jiahui can die of redness.
But now that things are so settled, Li Mingbao won't say much, although the money is given more, but the quality of Huang Zhan's works is still guaranteed, plus there is such an opportunity to make friends with Uncle Zhan, Li Mingbao is not a special loss.
What does Li Mingbao think Huang Zhan didn't know that the reason why he wanted Li Mingbao to give him the soundtrack of the new film today was just by chance. Huang Zhan has also been friends with Li Mingbao for a long time, and when Li Mingbao didn't start making movies, Huang Zhan knew about Li Mingbao.
Of course, the Li Mingbao I knew at that time was just a pen name of Li Mingbao, Pu Jia. For "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Huang Zhan is a staunch supporter, and for this reason, he also helped Li Mingbao fight a lot of verbal battles in Ming Pao. At that time, when Huang Zhan saw the article "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", Huang Zhan felt very appetizing for himself.
He himself is such a dissolute person, collecting salty and wet films, and hosting salty and wet shows in the future, doing some things that are out of tune, and he has no less fun. Li Mingbao's book, although it is not about Fengyue, but using that kind of penmanship to write history really opened Huang Zhan's eyes, and he deeply admired this bold guy.
knew Li Mingbao because of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and after Li Mingbao made a big movie later, Ming Pao broke the news about Li Mingbao, and Huang Zhan knew that the person who wrote the book was actually still a person in the film industry, and he could make such a film, which really made Huang Zhan want to get acquainted with this guy.
But Li Mingbao is famous, but he doesn't move around much, and after filming, he disappeared, even if Huang Zhan wants to find someone, it is not so easy. Later, I heard that Li Mingbao was filming again, and Huang Zhan was a little interested, just today he made the soundtrack for a movie for Shaw Brothers, and he took it directly, but he didn't expect to meet Li Mingbao, so Huang Zhan used that way to get to know Li Mingbao. Anyway, in his eyes, Li Mingbao is not an ordinary person, and it is not a big deal to get acquainted in this way.
But Huang Zhan didn't think that if Li Mingbao didn't know him and beat him as a passerby, he would cry to death. Fortunately, Li Mingbao's recent hands-on ability is a little weak, plus the person he met outside the Shaw Brothers soundtrack is obviously not a character who is not a character who is not a four-six person, and then he uses the searcher in his brain to search, and he knows that the person who blocked him is Huang Zhan, otherwise, only God knows if there will be such harmony in the meeting just now.
Although Huang Zhan's asking price is very dark, and it is a bit of a bully's hard bow, but his work is really good, within two days, Li Mingbao gave Huang Zhan the task, Huang Zhan got it right, and then with some other things, plus some necessary trimming, the sample film of "Baby Zhiduoxing" will be considered out.
The new film came out, and as usual, it was for Aunt Six to watch it. The sixth aunt is actually quite curious about the new film that Li Mingbao has drummed up. When Li Mingbao was asked to choose the role, Li Mingbao didn't want those famous roles, but he asked two inconsequential little people to play his new play.
Now that the film has been filmed, the sixth aunt wants to see what kind of interpretation Li Mingbao will have if she rejects so many big-name small roles in Shaw Brothers, and whether she is worthy of Li Mingbao's trust. Is it really better to choose two newcomers than to choose those veteran Shaw Brothers stars?
Compared with the two robbers in the original movie, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang's version highlights some comedic effects, especially when Zeng Zhiwei's short and fat body appears in the movie, the sixth aunt feels a little funny when she looks at it. Later, Chen Baixiang appeared, and a tall and thin guy was actually the little brother of a short and fat man, such a combination of the two really made the eyes of the sixth aunt shine.
"Your kid's eyes are not bad, these two actors are acting together, it is indeed very comedic, that sweet potato-like guy, that face is always cheap, he is not a good person at first glance, and he pretends to be a policeman, and his hat is crooked. If the police in Hong Kong are like him, it would really be a discredit to the Royal Police. ”
"That tall and thin Chen Baixiang is actually very good, you see that his expression is actually very rich, these two people are in addition to their looks and figures. Aunt Six, have you noticed, in fact, the expressions on their faces are not much different, and they have a more comedic effect. Li Mingbao also interjected at this time.
Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Aunt Six took a closer look, and it was indeed somewhat similar: "It seems that you have really found the right person, people with such expressions, among the stars of the Shaw Brothers, you really can't find them." Those guys can play righteous and awe-inspiring people, and they can also play evil factions, but if you want to perform such an effect, I really don't know who can succeed. If you really ask them to play this play, it will definitely be smashed, and it won't be like these two guys now, who can't help but laugh when they see it. ”
The sixth aunt said it so generously, which proves that the sixth aunt has forgotten the unpleasantness of Li Mingbao's casting before, and Li Mingbao is very pleased with this. Although Aunt Liu's ruthlessness is famous, Aunt Liu's self-inflicted aunt seems to be very tolerant of herself, and she does not use her management of wireless internals on herself.
After the whole movie was screened, Aunt Six said to Li Mingbao next to her: "Your movie, I think it's very interesting, even compared to your previous "Happy Ghost", it will be more popular with Hong Kong people, after all, the most attractive crowd of "Happy Ghost" is those students, and other people have entered the cinema incidentally.
And now this "Baby Wisdom and Stars" is suitable for all ages, adults and children. And you are also going to arrange to show this movie during Christmas, when everyone is free, and it will be ideal at the box office, and it won't be long before Christmas is the Spring Festival, and it is another holiday, and this time is used well, compared to "Happy Ghost", the box office is more ideal. ”
"Aunt Six is as good as a god, my little bit of caution, Aunt Six can see that I do have such thoughts, and my expectations for this movie will be higher than "Happy Ghost". In order to fully release the potential of this movie, I am going to play a trailer of "Baby Wisdom and Stars" on the wireless, and I also ask Aunt Six to agree. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"Trailer? What is this? Regarding the noun in Li Ming's leopard's mouth, Aunt Liu was a little curious. Because there is no such thing as a trailer in Hong Kong at this time, even if it is Shaw Brothers' own movies or series, if you want to do publicity, you can just announce a name and it's over, which is not as complicated as later generations.
"The trailer is actually a cut out of some of the wonderful scenes in my movie and played on TV. It's equivalent to advertising to let more people know about this movie. Li Mingbao patiently explained.
"If you show all the footage, wouldn't it be the same as showing the movie to others for free? After watching the trailer, will others still go to the movie? Aunt Six said with a frown.
"It's not like this, although the trailer has some shots in it, but we definitely won't tell them everything in the movie, leaving some suspense in it, and those people who want to watch the content behind it can only obediently go into the cinema to watch it, which can also promote the box office sales of the movie."
"I see, your kid's head is spinning very fast. Aunt Six agreed, but favors belong to favors, business belongs to business, since you want to advertise in wireless, then you can pay for the advertising fee yourself, anyway, you kid has made a lot of money recently, the box office in Southeast Asia and Taiwan has called you, except for the income in Japan, the other box office shares, the box office share for you, are almost about 20 million, you can earn almost 50 million Hong Kong dollars by relying on a movie, there are no other filmmakers in Hong Kong, you earn so much. When the sixth aunt said about the box office of the movie, she also trembled a little.
It's not that she hasn't seen 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but like Li Mingbao, she has made so much money with just one movie, and the movie made by Li Mingbao can't be called a movie, but it is more appropriate to call it a money printing machine. Although so far, Li Mingbao's actual income is only more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but there is still a Japanese market?
Really good films, the two regions with the highest overseas box office revenue, one is Taiwan, and the other is Japan, Taiwan has given Li Mingbao almost 10 million, and Japan will definitely have more.
Don't look at the disproportion between the Taiwan market and the Japanese market, it stands to reason that Taiwan can sell more than 10 million, and Japan should sell even more. In fact, it is true, but the biggest difference between the Taiwan market and the Japanese market is the box office share, in Taiwan, the Shaw Brothers share can be tougher, after all, it is their own people, but in Japan, even if it is the Shaw Brothers, it has to be done according to the rules, Hong Kong movies will indeed have a high box office over there, but in terms of sharing, the Japanese box office share is at least two-thirds less than Taiwan's, in this case, if Li Mingbao can still get more money than the box office in Taiwan, it proves that in Japan, This box office revenue will be even higher.
It is optimistic about the overseas box office of Li Mingbao's movie, so the sixth aunt will not hesitate to agree to Li Mingbao's advertising on wireless, which not only sells Li Mingbao well, but also brings more income to wireless.
