Volume 1 Chapter 92 Today

After more than two months of operation, Meiya finally arranged for the film to land in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other Southeast Asian markets. Although Meiya's publicity is not in place, Miss Asia still has a certain reputation in Southeast Asia, and the two Asian sisters joined a erotic film at the same time, and the starring role is not well-known, and they have also received one or two million Hong Kong dollars in foreign markets.

The Taiwan market is worthy of being the largest foreign market for Hong Kong films, and it is also one of the most important foreign port channels for the United States and Asia. After the packaging of Meiya, Qiu Yuru, who was not popular in Hong Kong or even in Southeast Asia, has been sought after by a large number of media in her hometown, Meiya played her first slogan of dew point erotic film, "I'm crazy for Qing" once it was released, it immediately aroused the curiosity of many former fans of Taiwanese football babies on the island, and went into the cinema to watch the movie, but in the first week of release, the box office of "I'm Crazy for Qing" in Taiwan has exceeded 4 million Taiwan dollars, as long as it is released for more than two weeks, Meiya can recover the cost of buying out the film, Enter the profitability stage.

On November 17, Yineng Film Company invested 3.3 million yuan, and "Fat Cat Wandering" directed by Zheng Zeshi was successfully released in the Golden Princess Theater. As a movie with a special theme, it is also based on the theme of love and concern for the mentally handicapped, which makes "Fat Cat Stray" receive the attention and praise of many media people before its release. It's a pity that the praise is not worth eating, and the box office on the first day of release was only 270,000 Hong Kong dollars, which made Brother Mao's face look bad in the next few days.

On the same day as Zheng Zeshi's "Fat Cat Wandering", there is another movie "Overlord Female Fuxing", you can know it when you hear the name, this is a standard follow-up movie, and it also follows the two themes of Fuxing series and Overlord Flower at the same time. It doesn't seem to be brilliant compared to the many follow-up films released every year, but Lin Xiaozhi noticed this movie. It's just because its director is so famous, this person's surname is Liu Ming Zhenwei!

Liu Zhenwei is a big legend in the Hong Kong film industry. Growing up in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong to a Catholic family, he studied art and design in the UK in his early years before joining an advertising agency after returning to Hong Kong. In 1980, he started his career in the film industry and established a film production company called 'Century' with his friends as general manager and production director, but in 1985, when Century Company collapsed, he changed his career to become a screenwriter. Last year, he joined Shadow Heroes Productions with his friend Wong Ka Wai and made his debut as a director for the first time, "The Ghost Mission", and has been out of control ever since.

In just one year, Liu Zhenwei has put his name alongside his friend Wong Ka Wai, Cheng Xiaodong of Xu Ke's studio, and Wang Jing, a talented man from Xian Ke, who is recognized by the industry as one of Hong Kong's most promising directors.

With the end of the pre-filming of "Can't Help It" and the post-production process, Lin Xiaozhi also came to his senses and personally contacted the "Fire Kirin" magazine and bought three promotional positions in the magazine at a price of 120,000 Hong Kong dollars, which opened the promotion of the film.

On the 18th, after more than two months of preparation, New Asia's fourth film "Color is Empty" after the name change finally completed all the preparations and announced the official start of filming in front of a studio of ATV.

Although Lin Xiaozhi also hoped that this film he directed for the first time could be an instant hit, after thinking about it again, he still did not notify or invite any media, and chose to kick off the filming with zero interference.

The publicity and hype in the early stage of "Color is Empty", Zheng Fei has already led the team to do it, Xinya has recently recruited several old media people, Lin Xiaozhi gave them high treatment, with only one purpose, to write gossip news one by one, and the protagonist is him, Ni Zhen, Li Jiaxin and Xinya's upcoming filming of "Color is Empty", in order to cultivate the audience's expectations bit by bit through uninterrupted hype.

New Asia hasn't started to exert its strength yet, at least now is not the time to go all out to hype "Color is Empty". Zheng Fei's distribution and publicity team, the main focus is now on the film "Can't Help It", which has completed pre-production. According to Lin Xiaozhi's own plan, their film will be completed at the end of December or early January, and it will not be too late to start making every effort to hype up the popularity of the movie and crew at that time.

Lin Xiaozhi was wearing a smart white casual gown, with a pair of sunglasses and a fist, standing aside, waiting for the crew to build the god position card and sacrifices.

Although he has seen many Hong Kong film worship ceremonies, Lin Xiaozhi still feels quite interesting to experience these things for the first time as a director. Watching the field staff of several plumbing tools put a piece of steamed pig's head under the god throne as a sacrifice, he finally couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Lin, you're almost ready......"

Ye Weixin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and walked over from a distance with a few people. Now the whole crew knows that Lin Xiaozhi, the president of New Asia, has hung up a director identity in the crew. However, few people really regard him as a director. After all, in Hong Kong, although many high-level executives such as Hung Jinbao , Cheng Long , Xu Ke , Wu Siyuan , Chen Xunqi , Li Xiuxian and many others who are bosses, presidents and chairmen of film companies also have the identities of actors and directors, Lin Xiaozhi is different from these people who have been working hard in the film industry.

Therefore, at present, everyone in the crew only regards him as a young master Kuo who is idle and bored to play, although some actors noticed that the name of the screenwriter on the script is exactly the same as his name, but Lin Xiaozhi did not explain to them in detail, and they could only swallow their stomachs if they had doubts.

Seeing that Ye Weixin and a group of people were busy, he became the most idle person in the field, and Lin Xiaozhi was also happy to enjoy the privileges brought to him by his status as president. The president of the film company is actually a very idle job, for example, now under his arrangement, after the skeleton of the various departments of New Asia is built, even if he leaves, he can run **, and he basically has nothing to do, he comes to the crew to hang a director's identity gilded, but no one doubts that he is not doing his job.

"Oh? Are you all set? So we're ready to get started, shall we? Lin Xiaozhi responded, glanced at Ye Weixin, and immediately handed over the words of the team leader to the experienced him, "Ashin, you come to the team leader to worship God!" ”

"Okay!" Ye Weixin grinned happily and agreed directly. Obviously, being able to lead the team to worship God as a director has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

In the midst of the noise and noise, the worship ceremony lasted for about ten minutes and finally ended. As Ye Weixin, who was temporarily the master of ceremonies, shouted, 'The gods are sheltered, and the peace is turned on', after the ceremony, several strong people who had obviously done martial arts quickly moved away the tables, chairs, benches and sacrifices where the gods were placed. Ye Weixin walked to Lin Xiaozhi's side, and after the two whispered for a while, Lin Xiaozhi nodded and clapped his hands, focusing the attention of the entire crew on himself.

"I don't have a lot of words, just a few words. Today is the day when the fourth movie "Color is Empty" was launched since the name change of New Asia, and most of the crew this time, including the field staff and actors, many of them are working with New Asia for the first time. I am honored to spend dozens of unforgettable days with Director Ye and all of you as a director. I also hope that in a few months' time, when our film is released, you will feel equally privileged to have been involved in the making of a great film. As a film subsidiary of ATV, New Asia has received strong support from Chairman Qiu Degen and several major shareholders, our strength is far stronger than what you inquire, the same, as long as you sincerely cooperate with us to make an excellent movie, after the box office comes out, you will also get excellent returns......"

He raised a finger and calmly swept his gaze over everyone present, "Make a good movie, the box office of this city exceeds 15 million, I will represent New Asia, from the box office dividends, take out 1 million to reward you, if the box office exceeds 20 million, this number is 2 million...... It's up to you how much you can get......"

When the words fell, not only the entire crew was stunned, but even Ye Weixin and others who were standing beside him were also stunned, because no one thought that he would dare to make such a promise on the day the movie was announced.

There was a moment of silence on the field!

Sure enough, the huge rewards of one million Hong Kong dollars and two million Hong Kong dollars, even if it is just a blank check now, are a huge stimulus to the crew. Lin Xiaozhi looked around, and from those smart and passionate eyes, he saw what he wanted to see!

"Director Ye, the starring director of this movie is you, you can also say a few words!"

Ye Weixin is undoubtedly a director that Lin Xiaozhi values very much, so he still gives him face in front of others.

"Hehe, I see that everyone is silent in the shock brought by Mr. Lin, I'm afraid that everyone can't listen to what they are saying now!" Ye Weixin looked at him with a wry smile and put the speech that he had stayed up late to prepare for a few days back in his pocket. He knew that no matter how well he prepared, under Lin Xiaozhi's huge bonus, it was impossible to cause such a sensation as him.

Tempted by money, although this trick is cheesy, it is tried and tested.

Since it is impossible to surpass him, Ye Weixin can only cooperate with him and do the best of this incentive.

After thinking about it for a while, he said with a smile: "If you are motivated, I won't say more, because I really can't think of anything more exciting than Mr. Lin's huge reward." Actually, it is not difficult to make a good movie, Lin Sheng created a good script and found some good actors. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to make a good work that satisfies the audience and everyone. I also hope that there is another deposit in my account, do you want to take the huge reward promised by Mr. Lin......"

"Want to ......"

"It's too quiet, I can't hear it clearly! Be louder......"

"Want to ......"

With his huge reward, Ye Weixin took advantage of the situation to stimulate the morale of everyone in the crew, from photography to props, lighting to makeup, scene recording to drama affairs, and even those leading actors and tricks are all gearing up, and they can't wait for the movie to start filming immediately.

Lin Xiaozhi was on the side, and the excitement in his heart was also indescribable, thinking about the more than ten years in the crew in his previous life, regardless of cold or summer, he silently followed one crew after another to go south and north, in order to have the opportunity to personally take charge of the director. Now, he has finally waited for this day to direct the filming of a movie with his own hands.

Suddenly, a song by Liu Dehua suddenly flashed in his mind: "After waiting for a long time, I finally waited until today, and after dreaming for a long time, I finally realized my dream......"

Finally, the day has come!
