Volume 1 Chapter 275 The Battle of ATV (I)
His own cash cow, He Fan was ready to emigrate, and Lin Xiaozhi, who was affected by this bad news, suddenly became in a bad mood, so that he returned to his residence online, although his girlfriend Li Jiaxin obediently coaxed him to be happy, after a night of passion, he didn't get up until three poles after three poles on the second day, and the depression in his heart was still difficult to eliminate.
He Fan is preparing to emigrate, obviously he is already making preparations, and it is difficult to keep him, so he can't be forced to stay alone in Hong Kong, and let him sit and watch his wife and children stay in Canada, which is thousands of miles away
The follow-up impact of the Academy Awards, Lin Xiaozhi can no longer see it.
In a bad mood, he put all his energy into the movie, and on the afternoon of the second day after the Academy Awards were announced, Lin Xiaozhi took the crew who had been prepared for a long time and got on the plane to Japan. Not surprisingly, they will stay in Japan for the next half month to complete the filming of several scenes in the movie "Red Alert".
"A Comic Book Goes to the World" was released for three and a half weeks, with a box office of 21.61 million Hong Kong dollars in 25 days, and it became the first film to grossing more than 20 million Hong Kong films after the Chinese New Year this year. And Zhou Xingchi relied on the perfect interpretation in the movie to win the attention of countless people in the industry.
Although the investor of "A Comic Book Goes to the World" is Xinya Film Company, and the director of this movie is the former Shaw Brothers martial arts star Liang Jiaren, but if you really want to say it, the person who has benefited the most from "A Comic Book Goes to the World" is none other than Zhou Xingchi, who had an embarrassing position in Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures Company before. Without Lin Xiaozhi taking the lead, Liu Zhenwei, who holds the casting power of "The Saint of Gambling", immediately set his sights on him.
On the third day after Lin Xiaozhi stepped on the plane to Japan, Liu Zhenwei made a phone call to the hotel where he was staying, and told him that he had taken a fancy to Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda and intended to reuse the news of these two. Originally, in the movie, he also wanted to invite Zhang Le, who had starred in "God of Gamblers", to join and play the heroine of "The Saint of Gambling", Qimeng.
But Zhang Le is a popular actress praised by Yongsheng, relying on the amazing performance in a "God of Gamblers", her popularity has risen, although it is between the first and second lines, Yongsheng has shouted for her the value of a first-line actress, which is not much lower than Wang Xianxian, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Qingxia and others. What made Lin Xiaozhi even more unhappy was that when Liu Zhenwei contacted Zhang Le privately, he was told the news by the Xiang brothers, and I don't know if it was the same as Lin Xiaozhi, and Liu Zhenwei's idea was branded, and the Xiang brothers also made a condition that the film must have their investment funds in order to lend Zhang Le to Liu Zhenwei for use.
Sure enough, it was the boss of Wan'an, the largest society in Hong Kong, and the domineering of the Xiang brothers annoyed Lin Xiaozhi, and directly discussed with Liu Zhenwei to let the popular star Ye Zilin, who was highly praised by New Asia, replace Zhang Le as the role of Qimeng in "The Saint of Gambling" and serve as the heroine of this movie. Zhang Le's beauty is cold and noble, and Ye Zilin is not inferior to her, not only has a better figure, but also has a charming dream.
At this time, "Cheating Treasure" starring Ye Zilin has been released, and after creating an amazing box office of 100,000 on the first day, the box office on the second day was as high as 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, shocking Hong Kong in one fell swoop. With the support of New Asia, Ye Zilin has thrown Ye Yuqing, who was dead to her in the past two years, out of a few streets and has become the most dazzling star born in Hong Kong in recent years.
Therefore, Lin Xiaozhi's suggestion Liu Zhenwei only thought about it for a day, then replied to Lin Xiaozhi and promised to let Ye Zilin replace Zhang Le and play the role of Qimeng in "Gambling Saint".
In a blink of an eye, time flies, and a month and a half has passed quickly.
The filming in Japan took a few days longer than Lin Xiaozhi had expected, and it took nearly three weeks to complete all the filming and return to Hong Kong. However, with the completion of the filming of the Japanese scenes, "Red Alert" has finally completed the filming of most of the plot and entered the most difficult post-production stage.
Thanks to the popularity of the Hong Kong box office, "A Comic Book Goes to the World" has sold at a good price in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, making New Asia's financial situation more and more relaxed.
With the release of "Cheating Treasure", more and more Hong Kong media have turned their attention to New Asia Film Company. With the emergence of the box office in the third and fourth weeks, although "The Treasure of Love" is only a Fengyue film, but after the meticulous work of the master of Fengyue film He Fan, this film that appeared more than a year in advance in his hands won a box office of 25.92 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong when it was painted, becoming the second third-level film film with a box office of more than 25 million after the birth of the three-level system of Hong Kong films.
Fengyue films are different from other films, not only are they restricted in Taiwan, but also in Southeast Asia, and the majority of their revenue is still in the video tape market. Therefore, for this movie, New Asia did not continue to embarrass Meiya and the scholars, and after the two congratulated each of them for offering a high price of 12 million Hong Kong dollars and 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars, New Asia successively sold the distribution rights of Southeast Asia and Taiwan to two companies.
Xu is because there is no fight plot to shoot, after more than two months of filming, "Love Letter" directed by Zhang Wanting and his wife was announced as early as the end of April and entered the post-production stage. Cheng Xiaodong's "Qin Warriors" ended filming in early May more than half a month later. With the crew returning to Hong Kong, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, who came with them, also brought a regrettable news to Lin Xiaozhi. The Shaanxi Provincial Radio and Television Department failed to approve his proposal to establish a film company with Western Film Studio. 、
However, listen to Zhang Yimou's meaning, otherwise it was only the Shaanxi Provincial Radio and Television Department that put forward the cooperation proposal of Xinya, not the high-level radio and television officials. This is also a great luck in misfortune for Lin Xiaozhi, who is bent on opening up the mainland market, and he began to seriously think about whether he should consider contacting the radio and television departments of Shanghai or some more open-minded provinces on the southeast coast, and perhaps there will be unexpected gains.
"Pay attention to the adjustment of the lights, and dim the main lights......"
Lin Xiaozhi snapped his fingers, and the lamp master in charge of lighting made a gesture to make minor adjustments to the nearby shooting lights.
Lin Xiaozhi rubbed the thick stubble that had grown out of his chin, his slightly unkempt hair and dark circles under his eyes, all of which showed what kind of life the owner had spent in the past period of time. In fact, he has been really tired in the past month.
Xu is because he appeared with Li Jiaxin at the Academy Awards before, and he also admitted the relationship between the two in front of the media. His beautiful secretary Zhou Huimin hasn't said a word to him for a full term, and even if he has work to report to him, he is always arranged for Assistant Wu or other secretaries. Obviously, this woman is in a bad mood now, and even on his birthday on May l, he asked her to spend it with him, but the woman refused on the excuse that there was something. Although, she also prepared a birthday gift for Lin Xiaozhi.
It's okay to have problems in his private life, he wants to tie the two women to his side, Lin Xiaozhi has already made some preparations in his heart, so Zhou Huimin has an awkward relationship with him, and he is just worried but he doesn't forget to go in his heart. But the problems encountered during the filming of "Red Alert" were enough for him to have a headache.
First of all, Liu Dehua's acting skills, although he had already felt that Liu Dehua's acting skills were not good. But as the movie gradually reaches its climax and fierce conflicts come, the sensitivity to Liu Dehua's acting skills and grasp of the plot is getting higher and higher. But although Liu Dehua can be seen improving, it is obvious that this man's progress is far from catching up with Lin Xiaozhi's expectations.
This is just one thing, and the other is the use of high technology in movies. Although Lin Xiaozhi spent a lot of money to win over Lenovo Computer Company to provide technical assistance, the effect shot in the movie was still not as high as the American version. For example, when Leon, the protagonist of the scene they just filmed, and others infiltrated the intelligence bureau to steal the confidential files of the "Red Alert Plan". The shooting effect of this scene, from Lin Xiaozhi's point of view, is at best better than that of Zhang Guorong when he sneaked into the security vault to steal famous paintings in Wu Yusen's "Across the Seas", but it is much worse than Brother Tom's original version.
Although he also knows that his investment of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in this movie is difficult to catch up with the effect of the original 80 million US dollars investment, Lin Xiaozhi was still a little disappointed when he actually filmed. can only find ways to add some of the best fighting scenes in Hong Kong to the movie, and through his hands, all agents have become veritable 'civil and military,'. Not only can he play high-tech, but he can also shoot and shoot, so he also combined some wonderful action movies in the future to design several sets of handsome and cool fighting actions for the protagonist, so that he finally made up for a little regret in his heart.
