Chapter 44 Joint Screening
At the beginning of the movie, a boy and a girl run out of the dark forest to the open field and look up at the stars. Among the stars, a few big characters of 'Starlight Pictures' slowly emerged, and a fancy English 'starlight film' appeared below.
The actors in the movie are no different from the first one, and the behind-the-scenes are almost exactly the same, or Lin Lingdong is the producer, Xu Ke director, and Yu Xijun screenwriter! The actor added Chen Yulian to play Zhu Xiucai's reincarnation as a female teacher in a boys' school! The storyline is the same as the original show!
There is still a big gap between Xu Ke's shooting style and Gao Zhisen! In terms of funny, Xu Ke added several jokes compared to the original drama, which should have been added with a flash of inspiration during filming! Vice Principal Qin Huang starred in an even more obscene and funny role!
However, what Xijun didn't expect was that Chow Yun-fat still starred in the TV series "Shanghai Tang", even though he starred in "Happy Ghost" and the Hong Kong version of "Fifty First Loves". Still hasn't caught fire on the big screen! But what's better than the previous life is that at least there is no shortage of film companies that invite him to film! On the contrary, several female characters were recognized by the audience! is not called 'box office poison', it can already be regarded as changing the fate of 'Little Brother Ma'! As for whether there will be 'Little Pony' in the future, only God knows!
It's like Leslie Cheung has now become an international superstar! Whether he will appear in "The True Colors of Heroes" is an unknown question! This appearance fee is not low! However, if Xijun intervenes in it, then "The True Color of Heroes" can still be filmed according to the original drama!
Listening to the laughter of the audience, Xijun knows. This sequel movie won't lose money! It's mainly a Hong Kong Island movie, it's fast, and it's fast! Shaw Brothers Film Company, on average, can make a movie in half a month, and basically it will be released in half a month! Some of them hit the streets, and they painted them in just a week! The cost is low, the production is simple, the story is old-fashioned, etc., which is also the reason for the collapse of Shaw Brothers Pictures!
Xijun doesn't want his film company to develop like that!
After more than an hour of screening, the film ends. A few people in the box said goodbye and left! Xijun looked at his watch, it was almost ten o'clock. And he got up and sent him off.
Watching Bao Yugang and Li Ka-shing leave in the car, Xijun said to Uncle Shao and Zou Wenhuai; 'Sixth Uncle and Zou Sheng, please wait a minute! I had something to discuss, the two looked at each other, and the three of them returned to the box! ’
At the gate of the theater, the eldest lady Guan Zhilin is preparing to wait for Xijun to come out! Seeing Zhou Liang Shuyi walk out, she stepped forward and asked; 'Mr. Zhou, have you seen Xijun? I saw him go downstairs, but I couldn't find anyone else ....... ’
Zhou Liang Shuyi looked at the lovely person in front of her and said; 'The chairman is talking about business with Uncle Shao Liu and Zou Wenhuai, why don't you go back first!' I don't know how long we're going to talk! ’
Hearing Zhou Liang Shuyi's explanation, the old father Guan Shan said to his daughter; 'Let's go?' Your lover's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he talks to the sixth uncle about business. How long are you going to be here? If the two love is long, how can it be early and twilight? ’
Seeing the few people next to him staring at him curiously, Guan Zhilin had no choice but to say goodbye and leave with his father! I'm really embarrassed by what my dad said!
The eldest lady didn't know that she had left Xijun, but even if she knew, she was glad to have escaped!
The three of them re-seated in the box, and Xijun spoke; 'Uncle Six, you've also watched this movie, the main focus is a youth comedy. You scheduled my movie to be released near the end of the summer. How does this make me money? When students start school, who will watch this type of film? I know your hometown is big, and I don't care about this income, but my company has just opened! I don't want every movie to go bankrupt because of the theater schedule! ’
Shao Lao Liu thought in his heart, what about deceitful ghosts? You don't manage a lot of companies in Hong Kong, and you've been making dollars in Hollywood. Can you see such a small box office income? But thinking that he was at a loss, he still said; 'Cinema schedule, I really don't know this! This is your sixth aunt in charge, next time I will remind her to give you a better schedule! ’
Xijun listened to Shao Laoliu's explanation and thought of the cautious woman. It's really possible that she did it! Said; In this case, then I can only let Zou Sheng join! Let the box office of the movie be released as soon as possible, I want Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to jointly screen it. This can unleash the box office potential of the movie in a matter of days! And it can also make room for your elderly, what do you think? ’
Zou Wenhuai was very happy when he heard it and said; "I'm fine, it depends on what you mean by Uncle Six!" ’
Shao Lao Liu saw that this was a joint forced palace! Plus I really took care of the loss, so I agreed! 'Well, just do what you want. ’
When Xijun heard this, he happily agreed and said; 'Thank you, Uncle Six, for understanding the righteousness, this movie is like this. Let's talk about the next movie screening schedule. ’
Zou Wenhuai became interested and asked; 'It's "Fifty Times of First Love", right? I heard that you have made two versions, one for the European and American markets, and one for the Asian region! Why do you still want Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to jointly screen it? ’
Xijun said with a smile; 'Or Zou Sheng understands my little abacus, yes, that's what I plan! I wonder if you would like to show me this movie on Valentine's Day at the end of the month? ’
Zou Wenhuai can't wait to sell to Xijun for favors, so that he can cooperate with Xijun to make a lot of money in the European and American markets! Fishing for water on Hong Kong Island, so do you go to the North American market to make money? Otherwise, I wouldn't have always wanted Jackie Chan to replace Bruce Lee to enter the North American market! As long as you let Xijun write a good script for Jackie Chan, you will definitely make Jackie Chan popular in the United States! And then he got a foothold in Hollywood. How did Shao Lao Liu fight with me at that time?
So Zou Wenhuai said happily; 'No problem, with the popularity of your movie, I'm sure to make a lot of money. I have no reason to refuse your request! ’
Shao Lao Liu was a little unhappy in his heart, if this was a joint release, wouldn't he make half of the benefits! The theater schedule makes me very passive, and I can't offend this kid! forced the other party to be anxious, and scattered in two. At that time, it was really the wind blowing eggshells, and the wealth was painful! If the other party also throws himself into the arms of Golden Harvest, ...... consequences will be unimaginable!
Get up and say; 'I'm fine, I'll say hello to Fang Yihua. Give your movie a full screening on Valentine's Day, this time you should be satisfied, right? When people are old and in poor health, they will leave first! ’
Xijun knows that it is an unpleasant thing to let Shao Lao Liu eat deflated, but business is business, not the time to talk about human feelings, so you can't lose money and make money! Then it's better to just close the door! At the same time, he also despised Shao Laoliu for a while, your old man is very capable of living! The nemesis next to you didn't survive you!
