082 ["Powerful" box office]
"They're all in their positions, ready to turn on!"
"Mr. Zombie Scene 6, Shot 3, Action!"
This is an English-style western-style building, and two cameras are pointed at Lou Nanguang and Li Saifeng in the center of the living room.
A cheap smile appeared on Lou Nanguang's face, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his expression, such a complex expression made him show it very naturally, this was his unique slut expression.
Lou Nanguang twisted his ass and took off his clothes, Lin Zhengying, who was standing behind the camera, waved his hand violently, and Lou Nanguang immediately pounced to the side and knocked over a Taishi chair there.
"Ahh Li Saifeng screamed and covered his eyes, and suddenly ducked to the side. The camera controlled by Zhong Zhiwen had already turned the camera to the door, where Qiusheng played by Kang Jianfei suddenly pulled Xu Guanying away.
"Click! Prepare the next set of shots. Chen Xunqi, who had been looking at the director's viewfinder, immediately shouted.
Lou Nanguang got up from the ground at this time, the previous two sets of shots are important laughs in the film, he and Xu Guanying rehearsed countless times in the hotel last night. With Kang Jianfei and Lin Zhengying's high requirements for this scene, they only passed it twice, which is really rare.
The next few sets of shots were much simpler, and they were shot in less than an hour.
"It's time to eat!"
The people of the field service team were waiting outside with carts, and the lunch boxes had been set up there one by one.
As soon as the crew members heard that the meal was open, they immediately rushed out, but Qi Bo came in with the field staff to clean up the filming scene that had just been used.
Several discerning actors came over with a boxed lunch, Li Saifeng took one and handed it to Kang Jianfei first, and asked, "Master, I acted pretty well, right?" ”
"Well, yes, some improvement." Kang Jianfei smiled and encouraged.
Although Li Saifeng is the heroine of this movie, she is still a vase when you study it carefully, and her role is completely incomparable with her in "Happy Ghost". However, Li Saifeng's progress in acting skills is obvious to all, and her lines and expressions are not as stiff as she used to act, and even the stereotypical Lin Zhengying said that she is very spiritual.
It's only been two days since filming started, and the innocent and lovely Li Saifeng has become the little princess of the crew, as long as she is free, there are people around her at any time. There is no way, the entire crew plus the hairstylist and Pan Yingzi, just the three of them. The hairstylist doesn't look good, and Pan Yingzi doesn't dare to provoke any man, so Li Saifeng is the most likable to everyone.
As soon as Kang Jianfei opened the lunch box, Wu Chenggang came over with his assistant gaffer and said to him: "Call Director Kang!" ”
The lighting assistant looked to be in his early 20s, and he was recruited on the spot with a few extras a few days ago under the guidance of Pan Yingzi. Although this person is young, he has a sense of cleverness, and after seeing Kang Jianfei, he hurriedly greeted him: "Director Kang is good!" ”
Wu Chenggang sat beside Kang Jianfei with a boxed lunch and said: "This kid has a good understanding, and he used to work as an assistant lighting engineer in Huixing Film Company. Ah Fei, I want to take him as an apprentice and bring him to Hong Kong for development. ”
Kang Jianfei looked carefully at the young man in front of him who was a few years older than him, and the more he looked at his mother, the more familiar he became, and he couldn't help asking, "What's your name?" ”
The young man smiled flatteringly: "Director Kang, my name is Zhang Dongliang." ”
Grass, I said that it was so familiar, it turned out to be you old boy!
Before Lao Tzu crossed, ** still owed me two meals.
Zhang Dongliang, born as a gaffer, later became a director, screenwriter and photographer, but the best one is still a photographer, and he has won many photography awards. He has served as a cinematographer for Donnie Yen's single version of "Jin Yiwei", Zhao Wei's version of "Mulan", "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and other films.
This person later signed with Kang Jianfei in the same film and television company, when Kang Jianfei first debuted as a photographer, Zhang Dongliang was the director of photography in several films, and Kang Jianfei was half of his apprentice. After the two collaborated on a few plays, their personal relationship was good, and the reason why Kang Jianfei was able to climb so fast was also due to Zhang Dongliang's help. However, Zhang Dongliang went back to Taiwan when the contract expired, and the two did not meet again until the crossing.
Kang Jianfei and Zhang Dongliang were friends in his last life, and he was often called by this guy, but now he finally had the opportunity to come back, and coughed: "Well, the young man looks good, follow your master to work hard in the future, I am optimistic about you!" ”
Zhang Dongliang got Kang Jianfei's encouragement, and happily took the boxed lunch, Wu Cheng just said: "Ah Fei, last night when "Happy Ghost" premiered in Taipei, I went to a movie theater with Ah Cai to watch it, and the attendance rate was so low, it was only about 3 percent. ”
Kang Jianfei smiled: "3 into it? It's very high, Cheng Long is so famous in Taiwan, and the attendance rate of "Junior Brother Out" was only sixty percent when it was first released, it seems that Taiwan's film companies have done a good job in publicity. ”
Wu Chenggang nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that Taiwan's box office market has been sluggish recently, which is really a headache." ”
"I'm not alone in the headache, what am I worried about?" Kang Jianfei smiled heartlessly.
…………
…………
"Happy Ghost" had a terrible first-day box office in Taiwan, only more than NT$300,000. If the box office was less than 3 million a week by the standard of the previous two years, the money earned would not even be enough to pay the bottom fee of the theater.
Of course, due to the current market recession, the theater side has also gritted its teeth accordingly and reduced the base fee, and the film producers, producers and theater chains are all having a hard time.
In the second week of release, the box office situation improved slightly, but compared with Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", it is still much inferior. Half a month has passed, and the cumulative box office of "Happy Ghost" in Taiwan is only a little over 5 million, which is equivalent to a pitiful 1 million Hong Kong dollars. This data is scattered to the huge Taiwan market, which is really miserable......
However, the box office curve of "Happy Ghost" is very interesting, the general movie is a parabola that rises and falls, but "Happy Ghost" is almost a horizontal straight line. The rise is not obvious, and the trend of declining box office cannot be seen, but the attendance rate has been very low, which makes it quite difficult for the two theaters that screen "Happy Ghost".
This situation is chicken ribs, and it won't make much money if it continues to be released, and it's a pity to paint it directly.
After continuously cutting the release canvas of "Happy Ghost", the average attendance rate finally exceeded 5%. Due to the problem of the location of the theater, and most of the theaters in Taiwan are now single-hall movie theaters, it is impossible to reduce the canvas again, and the audience can only be lost in vain.
In addition, this period of time is the off-season for movies, and there are few films available for screening, so the two theaters simply threw "Happy Ghost" there and kept it showing in secondary theaters.
During this period, Kang Jianfei also went to see it in person, a theater with less than 500 seats, with 180 spectators sitting sparsely, and then burst into cold laughter from time to time, the situation was really miserable.
A month has passed, and there are still 8 screens in Taiwan showing "Happy Ghost", but it is rare that the attendance rate has not fallen below 3%, and the cumulative box office in Taiwan has reached more than 8.2 million, which is equivalent to less than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
This is a very honorable result, enough to rank in the top 10 of Taiwan's annual box office list in 1980......
In the first half of the year, Cheng Long starred in "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" and Lin Qingxia starred in "Blue Blood and Long Sky", which had more box office in Taiwan than "Happy Ghost".
Because of this, Kang Jianfei is also well-known in the Taiwanese film circle, after all, he proved his strength with a "strong" box office.
On the other hand, in Southeast Asia, until all the paintings were completed, the total box office of "Happy Ghost" reached more than 3.1 million US dollars, equivalent to more than 23 million Hong Kong dollars.
The soundtrack of "Happy Ghost" also sold very well in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, with a cumulative sales of more than 80,000 copies. Li Saifeng and Wen Bixuan have become the new girl idols among the youth groups in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
