Although Lin Xiaozhi only emerged in the past two years, he was able to become a popular figure in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in only two years, and Lin Xiaozhi himself has never lacked topicality and attention.

Just half a month ago, he and his film company Xinya became famous for suing more than a dozen media for the 'Chen Baiqiang scandal'. Even in the past week, news that New Asia Films has taken a stake in Sing Pao and become the second-largest circulation newspaper in Hong Kong has spread all over Hong Kong.

In the most chaotic period before the handover, Hong Kongers' lack of faith and confidence in the future made them more obsessed with chasing money and enjoying life. They turned the confusion between reality and the future to chasing celebrities and gossip in the entertainment industry, and they also highly respected wealth giants such as Li Jiacheng, the Kwok brothers, and the four great ship kings, who can scold Fang Xuan in the business world and financial market.

And these two points, Lin Xiaozhi happened to be in general. He was born in a wealthy family, but in his early years, he was a gentleman with a bad reputation, but he relied on investment and filming to become an upstart in the Hong Kong film industry and a future tycoon in the media industry. As the most legendary figure in Hong Kong in recent years, he has brought too many topics to Hong Kong citizens in the past two years, and has also made him one of the most popular topics of the citizens.

"A film company in the industry claims to spend 40 million to make a new movie, what is the real investment behind the howl?

After the "Oriental Daily" because of the 'Chen Baiqiang scandal incident, and the New Asia Film Company's stake in the strong rival "Cheng Pao", the news about the New Asia Film Company and Lin Xiaozhi was strongly blocked, and as a result, on this newspaper, in the past one or two months, I can only occasionally see news about the New Asia Film Company and Lin Xiaozhi in some tofu sections in the corner, and most of them are more bad than good.

The entertainment edition of the "Oriental Daily", which claims to be the most professional in Hong Kong, has undoubtedly triggered several evil consequences. For a month, almost no gossip news of the most interesting citizens could be seen in the Oriental Daily, and some anxious citizens began to doubt the professionalism of the Oriental Daily, and turned to the arms of other newspapers. Although the Oriental Daily claims to have more than 2 million readers in Hong Kong, there is no doubt that it has the largest potential readership in Hong Kong.

However, I can't see my favorite news, and the circulation of the "Oriental Daily" newspaper has also been slightly affected in the past month, and the growth momentum of the "Oriental Daily" has slowed down or even stagnated.

"Sing Tao Daily" has surprised everyone, and it has been very active recently, and the queen of the newspaper industry, Hu Xian, seems to be unwilling to give up Hong Kong's largest newspaper for more than a decade, and now it has succumbed to the third position.

Lin Xiaozhi wanted to make a new movie, and "Sing Tao Daily" immediately gave a large report: "...... Since the "Best Partner" series debuted with an investment of more than 10 million yuan in Hong Kong films, the cost of investment in Hong Kong films seems to be rising year by year. More than ten years ago, a movie with an investment of 3 million Hong Kong dollars was a medium cost, and 5 million was already a blockbuster. Subsequently, the cost of more than 10 million has become the standard for blockbusters, and in the past two years, with the emergence of films with an investment of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Debao, this record has been refreshed again, and the investment of 20 million has become the standard for Hong Kong films' blockbusters. ”

"Whether the rapid rise in investment is good or bad, we might as well recalculate. In the second half of 87, Golden Harvest announced for the first time that it would spend 30 million to shoot "Police Story", although it was later revealed that the real investment in this film had only just reached about 22 million Hong Kong dollars, and the investment of 30 million was just a howl, but it is undeniable that this film, which was released in April of the following year, caused a shock in Asia. ”

Relying on the most sensational explosion scene in Asia, "Police Story" won the runner-up crown at the Hong Kong box office that year with a box office of 34UU in Hong Kong. Overseas, "Police Story" not only swept away more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Southeast Asia, but also created 8.4 billion yen (about 570,000 Hong Kong dollars) and nearly 3 billion Hong Kong dollars (about UU million Hong Kong dollars) in Japan and South Korea respectively, and Golden Harvest also sold the European and American distribution rights of "Police Story" for 100,000 US dollars and 1.7 million US dollars. ”

"From the perspective of return on investment alone, "Police Story" has brought nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars of gross profit to Golden Harvest, and the net profit is only not less than 60 or 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although "Sing Tao Daily" suspects Lin Xiaozhi's 40 million investment, the new movie is mostly howling, and there is a lot of water. But there is no doubt that with the success of several previous blockbusters, "Sing Tao Daily" is obviously cautiously optimistic about the investment in New Asia, which will not be too low, at least not less than 20 million films.

In contrast, "Cheng Pao", which is already its own person with New Asia Film Company, is more convenient to get first-hand data from it by virtue of the identity of New Asia Film Company as its major shareholder. Therefore, as soon as the new issue of "Cheng Pao" was launched, it was swept away by many curious people, and it had to be printed several times in a row to barely satisfy the curiosity of readers.

And "Cheng Pao" did not disappoint them: "...... Some people question that the investment of 40 million is a howl, and this newspaper exclusively interviewed Mr. Lin Xiaozhi, the owner of New Asia Film Company, and also obtained first-hand data from him to benefit readers. ”

"I believe some people will be curious, what kind of movie is "Red Alert"? Judging by the name alone, this is undoubtedly likely to be a thankless political film that Hong Kong readers will not buy and make no money from. This newspaper also had this curiosity at the beginning, and asked Lin Sheng about the doubts in his heart. However, he received a completely different reply from Lin Sheng."

"......'It's not a political movie,' I'm not interested in politics, and it's going to be a spy movie,...... According to Lin Sheng, his investment of more than 40 million in this new film is not a howl, but a real 40 million. Among them, except for about 12 million to pay the salaries of the stars, the crew and himself, the rest are all used for the filming of the movie, and the reason why such a large investment is needed is because there are too many large scenes that need to be shot in this movie. According to Lin Sheng's own revelations, although he is the director and screenwriter of this film, he only received 200,000 yuan for selling the script to the company, and his director's salary was only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, between the first and second lines in Hong Kong...

He Wenfa's family has the intention of selling "Cheng Pao" and running away, so after New Asia Film Company invested in Cheng Pao Newspaper Group, "Cheng Pao" has become a veritable 'Yu son' of New Asia Film Company, Lin Xiaozhi treats Yu son naturally, and the news and revelations given are first-hand, which makes the latest version of "Cheng Pao" sell immediately, and the sales of nearly 10,000 copies in a single day have been sold, which is as much as 40,000 or 50,000 copies more than in the past.

However, some people believe the statement that Lin Xiaozhi's new movie has an investment of 40 million, but more people don't believe it. The editor-in-chief personally wrote a sarcastic article sarcastically: "The movie is not just a good shot at throwing money, obviously the success of the previous mistake has fueled the arrogance of some people, and they have forgotten that in addition to hype, they have a few pounds and taels"

The deputy editor-in-chief of "Xiang Pao" even shouted directly in the newspaper: "It took two years for the rise to rise, and only one day for destruction." The company has a few 40 million yuan enough for him to squander expenses, what to say about making movies and big scenes, I think it is to fill his own pocket, Meiya needs to be vigilant"

Nowhere in the text does the sub-film company appear, and the words "Xiao Zhi", but whoever reads their newspaper immediately knows who it is talking about.
