Chapter 32: John Woo wants to make a sequel

The entire Xiangjiang media is sought after for "The True Color of Heroes".

On the tenth day, a peak was reached.

"A masterpiece of Hong Kong Cinema! Little Pony, that's what a god looks like! ”

The headline on the front page of the entertainment edition of "Famous Newspaper" directly typed such a headline.

The picture below is a picture of countless street boys wearing sunglasses and trench coats.

"1986 is destined to be the year of "The True Color of Heroes", ten years later, twenty years later, and even thirty years later, this film will become a landmark film of Xiangjiang Cinema!"

"Star D Daily" learned that it was lost and directly sent "The True Colors of Heroes" to the altar.

"Starting from "The True Color of Heroes", the H Gang genre film will become the most important film genre in Xiangjiang after kung fu and comedy."

"Big G" pointed out that "The True Color of Heroes" has created a unique genre from the perspective of future development.

"Li Xingchen, a new director, with a strong personal style, emotional language, smooth pictures, fiery gunfights, and a heroic image that was born, made the entire Xiangjiang, no, it should be the whole of Southeast Asia, fall under his works!"

"City Daily" set its sights on Li Xingchen and praised him as the most dazzling new star in the Xiangjiang film industry.

I can't help but admire Zou Yun-fat's acting skills, which has created an immortal role of Brother Xiaoma, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Suddenly, the long clothes were in the wind, chic and uninhibited wandering on the streets, suddenly holding toothpicks, lighting cigarettes with counterfeit banknotes, and pouring wine on the fake legs to the extreme! Suddenly the gun is like the wind, the person is invincible and arrogant, and suddenly he is unkempt, limping and messing with people, all of which are convincing, making you feel that heroes should be like this. ”

The female writer Yisu stood from a woman's point of view and spared no effort to praise Zou Yun-fat.

As a new Xiangjiang male god.

It's not just that she's touting, basically no one in Xiangjiang doesn't like the role of Brother Xiaoma, and even sent Zou Yunfa to the altar.

"I like the shootout the most, the southern nocturne in the Maple Forest Pavilion is intoxicating, Brother Xiao Ma is tossing and turning in the corridor with the singer, director Li Xingchen uses classic slow motion to make this scene look particularly elegant and charming, Zou Yun-fat's transformation from frivolous laughter to ruthless eyes, is so natural, dancing and murderous, perfectly interpreting what is called violent aesthetics!"

The famous writer Jin Yong also opened a platform for Xiao Ma in his column.

Under the praise of countless people, the nickname "poison hair" is no longer mentioned, and the media began to use "superstar" to describe Zou Yun-fat.

In the midst of singing praises of virtue, there are always some people who are more sober.

"The true character of a hero is how a man finds his dignity when he is downcast and frustrated!"

"Li Xingchen, who is unknown, reproduces Zhang Che's violent aesthetics, and if he doesn't make a sound, he is a blockbuster!"

"Forty-year-old Dillon, swept out of the house by the Shao family, holding a letter of dismissal in his hand, there is only one sentence on it, thank you for the achievements you have made for the company over the years, the former first beautiful boy in Xiangjiang, is tasting the desolation of the old pearl yellow!"

"Thirty-one-year-old Zou Yun-fat dominates TV series, but all the movies he makes lose money, and people in the rivers and lakes call it poison."

"Thirty-year-old Zhang Guorong finally has a masterpiece, and in the fight for hegemony, he can finally raise his eyebrows."

"Twenty-eight-year-old Liang Jiahui, banned, wandering the streets, making a living by setting up stalls, who would have thought that this former Academy Award actor would also have a day when salted fish turned over?"

"Twenty-five-year-old Lou Dehua, who was hidden by TVB, his life is about to become a problem, he is so poor that he can only go to the set every day to run tricks and eat boxed lunches, Yan Huang's contract makes him regain his life, give up this tiger that can fight the most capable of fighting among the five tigers, the young sixth master may regret that he can't eat, right?"

The famous "Wenhui Daily" directly punctured the false appearance of the entertainment industry that other media did not dare to pierce.

Behind the prosperity is the status quo of the industry.

It's a backwater.

"The True Color of Heroes is the forerunner of the new school of cinema, but it is by no means a loner!"

The last sentence of "Wenhui Daily" pushed the entire Xiangjiang discussion of "The True Colors of Heroes" to the climax of public opinion.

Driven by media publicity, the number of viewers of "The True Color of Heroes" has immediately increased significantly.

After discussing with Yanhuang Films, various theaters decided to increase the number of screenings.

"The showtime is tentatively set for two months!"

He Guanchang of Jiahe said.

Although it is not a Golden Harvest movie, as long as the movie sells money, the theater chain can make a lot of money, so why not?

The practice of Xiangjiang movies is that they will generally be taken off the shelves within a month.

Unless it's a super blockbuster or a blockbuster.

But it didn't take more than a month and a half at most.

The two months of "The True Color of Heroes" directly set a precedent and made some small film companies complain.

Because the scheduling resources they can share have been reduced by more than half!

Singapore, Malaysia, and even the Chinese cinema chain in Citigroup have come to the door to obtain the distribution rights of "True Colors of Heroes" in their home countries.

Li Xingchen readily agreed to their request.

It's all small money.

The real income generators are Hejiang and Guodao.

The box office on the island side is also in good form.

It is said that the H gang of fierce armor suddenly appeared more than 50 little pony brothers, and more than 30 hao brothers!

In New Taipei, in just a few days, at least twenty taverns called Fenglin Pavilion appeared.

Each house has flower pots, prop guns and the Hokkien song "Don't Lose Your Will".

Full of elements.

It's full at night, full of tattooed brothers and short knife men.

You have to pretend to be lame when you go to the toilet!

"Just now John Woo told me that he wanted to make a sequel to "The True Color of Heroes", and he even thought of the script."

As soon as he went to work that day, Luo Song found Li Xingchen.

"John Woo wants to make a sequel?"

Li Xingchen was stunned, another time and space, after Wu Yusen finished filming the first part, it was because Xu Ke wanted to shoot the second part, and the two friends for many years turned their faces directly.

In the end, when it came to the third part, he broke off his friendship and never interacted again for the rest of his life.

Now you want to rush to shoot the second part?

"I think I can shoot it, while the heat is still there, and make another wave of money," Luo Song said with a smile, "This time I am not allowed to use Wei Wei'an as the heroine, I recently hung a good girl named Wu Jiali, let her be the heroine, it doesn't matter anyway." ”

Ng Ka Li?

seems to be a future star, Li Xingchen was too lazy to remember the names of Luo Song's girlfriends, and waved his hand: "How much is the expected investment?" ”

He originally wanted to hand over the classic film "Bloody Heroes" to John Woo.

But now that John Woo wants to make a sequel, let him make a sequel first, and then make "Bloody Heroes" next.

Under Yanhuang Films, there can't be only one director, Li Xingchen.

A good director has to spend effort to cultivate.

It should be regarded as training for Wu Yusen.

"Wu Yusen calculated that he wanted 7 million, because Zou Yunfa's salary must be more than 200,000, and as soon as he is popular, he will definitely increase his salary, which will not be lower than Zhang Guorong."

Luo Song was a little dissatisfied with Zou Yun-fat, "If it weren't for Wu Yusen saying that he must continue to use Zou Yun-fat, and also giving him the identity of a little brother Ma's twin brother, I would have liked to change to Lou Dehua." ”

What should come, will always come.

Among the original cast, the eldest brother played by Liang Jiahui is dead, and he must no longer be used, so he has to use a new role.

Zhang Guorong and Zou Yunfa's salaries will not be less than 1.5 million.

Dillon's salary cannot be less than one million.

Of the seven million production costs, half of them will be spent on the actors' salaries, so it is conceivable that Wu Yusen has made up his mind to practice and eat dividends.

The level of production is certainly not as good as the first one.

However, with the influence of the first part, the second part can't lose money.

In the future information, the second part of "The True Color of Heroes" has a box office of more than 22 million, and the third part also has more than 18 million.

"Okay, then set up a project, next we have to make two movies at the same time, the sequel to "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The True Color of Heroes", Zhang Guorong's salary will be increased, because he is the leading actor in two movies at the same time, and there is also a photographer missing, has Huang Yongheng signed a contract there?"

When Yanhuang Film was established, Li Xingchen asked Luo Song to sign Huang Yongheng.

But Huang Yongheng was busy making movies, and he had no plans to change jobs for the time being, so he only recruited Duke Feng.

"I signed it last week, and I spent twice as much labor to dig him up."

Luo Song said with a smile, "Say, who else do you want to dig, this Xiangjiang, there is no one I can't dig up!" ”

"Don't brag about it, let Huang Yongheng and me, Duke Feng and Wu Yusen, start work at the same time."

Huang Yongheng's strength, in this period, is higher than Duke Feng.

Duke Feng didn't become a master until he followed Wang Sunglasses.

Thinking of Wang Sunglasses, Li Xingchen was a little sad.

This guy is a genius indeed.

And it's a professional winner.

But it's also a pitfall.

Pit money and pit time, shoot "East Evil and West Poison", and you can shoot the capital side to scold your mother.

can also shoot Zheng Guangrong until he vomits blood.

Wang Sunglasses, who is still working as a screenwriter in Xinyi City, is even more scolded by Huang Baiming every day.

Two years later, he will become famous with "Carmen in Mong Kok".

Do you want to dig him up?

After hesitating for a long time, Li Xingchen still decided to dig it up.

"By the way, there is a screenwriter named Wang Sunglasses in Xinyi City, you go and dig it up, and let him be a screenwriter for Wu Yusen for two years first, and take care of it tightly."

Thinking of this, he said to Luo Song, "Scold when you scold, this person is a genius, but don't spoil him!" ”

Luo Song rolled his eyes: "Is there a more powerful genius in Xiangjiang than me?" Besides, I only spoil women, not men! ”

Li Xingchen felt that if he said more to Luo Song, it would be an insult to his IQ.

But there are some things that have to be said: "He also has a good friend named Lou Zhenwei, who has a round head and big ears, and he can also dig it up together, this person is more sensible, if he wants to make a movie, within three million yuan, he will support him." ”

If you dig up Wang Sunglasses and don't dig Bodhi Ancestor, it will be a big loss.

Lou Zhenwei's ability to make money, that's not blowing.

The person who can make "East Becomes West" and "Journey to the West" will not be worse than Wang Sunglasses.

Luo Song stared at his dead friend, and after two or three minutes, he asked rhetorically: "You are with me every day, when did you meet so many talents?" ”

The tone was a little plaintive.

It seems that Li Xingchen is having an affair.

“FK! Get away from me! ”

Li Xingchen hurriedly escaped from the office, he was afraid that if he stayed for one more minute, his IQ would drop by one point.
