Almost all newspapers have a positive evaluation of "The True Color of Heroes", although many of them are for Gu Chen's face, and the evaluation is a little subjective, but the excellence of "The True Color of Heroes" is undoubted. Of course, there are no exceptions, for example, Hong Kong's "Literary Daily", which mainly focuses on literary education, published a commentary criticizing the values and social outlook promoted by "The True Colors of Heroes" for not being conducive to the growth of young people.
Gu Chen naturally filtered this directly, he didn't mind whether it was a good evaluation or a bad evaluation, as long as it was reported, it would be publicity, and as long as the publicity was enough, the box office of the movie would naturally go up. When the box office results of the first week of the film were delivered to him, he couldn't wait for the media coverage to come more violently.
14.87 million!!
This is the box office result of the first week of the release of "The True Colors of Heroes", the little worry in Gu Chen's heart was finally put down, history has not changed, "The True Colors of Heroes" is still a success, according to the current box office trend, by the time the film is finished, the box office of 30 million is a certainty.
"According to my estimates, if there is no accident, when the final words are made, the box office of the film should be at least about 34 million, do you know what the concept of 34 million is, so far, in the history of Hong Kong cinema last year, starring Cheng Long, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao, "Lucky Stars" exceeded 30 million, which means that "The True Colors of Heroes" will most likely become the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong film history, which is really great, and now our Tang Dynasty can be described as an instant hit, I'd love to see what the people who said I was on a thief ship were ......."
Zeng Zhiwei was excited, and he kept talking, and when he reacted, what he shouldn't have said had already been said, and the excitement on his face suddenly turned into embarrassment. Gu Chen rolled his eyes, didn't pursue it, and said something else: "Remember the bet we made." β
When Gu Chen mentioned it, Zeng Zhiwei immediately remembered, he was also single, and said very simply: "Do you want to say that you have chosen the director and starring role of "A Chinese Ghost Story"? If you are willing to lose the bet, you can just say it. β
Gu Chen glanced at Zeng Zhiwei, as if to say that you know each other, and then said: "The director is Cheng Xiaodong, Ning Caichen is played by Rong Shao, and Xiaoqian is played by Xiaoxian,"
Hearing Gu Chen say the word 'Xiaoxian', Zeng Zhiwei suddenly showed a wicked smile on his face, although he didn't get confirmation from Gu Chen's mouth in person, but he and Gu Chen had been mixed up for so long, and they already knew the relationship between Gu Chen and Wang Guxian, and everyone knew it tacitly.
"What kind of expression do you have, one thing I must remind you first, whenever there is a scene in which the heroine is naked or affectionate, you must find a stand-in." Gu Chen doesn't care if he dedicates himself to art or not, his woman should belong to him completely, how can he let others take advantage of him.
This is obviously a matter of Gu Chen's principle, Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly said: "Knowing the way, knowing the way, who made you the boss, you can do whatever you say." β
Gu Chen continued the topic just now: "There will be a lot of visual effects production involved in this movie, and it will be handed over to Xu Ke's new visual studio. "In the previous life, the special effects production of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was originally completed by Xu Ke, and since the director and starring roles have not been changed, there is naturally no reason for the special effects production to be changed. In fact, there is really no new vision in Hong Kong that can surpass Xu Ke in visual effects production.
"By the way, during this time, you should pay more attention to the talents in visual effects production in Hong Kong and Taiwan."
"You're going to start a special effects company?"
"Well, film special effects are the general trend, and in the near future, big-budget movies with film special effects as the main production method will become the mainstream of the market."
In the face of Gu Chen's prophetic words, Zeng Zhiwei was unimpressed, Gu Chen smiled, and didn't say much, Hong Kong has fallen into a kind of low-cost movie cycle, as long as a movie is released successfully, there will be a follow-up work born immediately, until this theme is filmed badly, and the audience is too lazy to watch it, and then continue to follow the trend with another theme, to put it bluntly, it is a lack of innovation, which is also the most direct reason for the decline of Hong Kong films in the previous life. The main reasons for this phenomenon are the small investment in small-cost films, the short production cycle, the low risk of following the trend, and the quick money. When such an idea has become a kind of main idea in the entire industry, how can Gu Chen expect Zeng Zhiwei to be an exception.
"Just do what I say." Gu Chen opened the drawer of his desk, took out a document and put it in front of Zeng Zhiwei: "This is a new script I wrote, it is about gambling, this script was specially created by me for Fa Ge, the director I plan to find Wang Jing, I haven't thought about the heroine yet, you take a look first, think about whether there is a suitable candidate." β
The movie Gu Chen took out was another classic work "God of Gamblers" by Zhou Runfa, the original heroine of this movie was Zhang Meng, but now Zhang Meng doesn't seem to have made his debut, he can't tell Zeng Zhiwei a name, and then let him look for it all over Hong Kong, and the heroine played by Zhang Meng in the play is purely a vase role, the role is not heavy, and the impact on the film should be little if you change the heroine.
Zeng Zhiwei didn't rush to answer Gu Chen, picked up the script, got up and said, "I'll take a look first, if there is nothing else, I'll go out." β
