Chapter 22: Who is Xuluo?

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year on January 27, a movie has been released in Hong Kong.

It's called "The Gambler".

The main targets are the youth idol superstar - Andy Lau, and the recently popular comedy star - Zhou Xingchi.

Since Andy Lau debuted on TVB, he has always been the heart of Xiangjiang people.

Although Zhou Xingchi was not very famous before, "The Saint of Gambling" made him the holder of the box office record in Hong Kong.

The fame of these two people alone is enough to attract a group of viewers to enter and watch.

Many Xiangjiang filmmakers feel that the box office of this "Gambler" will not be too bad, but they will definitely not be able to create the box office miracle of "God of Gamblers" and "Saint of Gambling".

But the results surprised almost everyone.

"The Gambler" hit the box office of 10 million in the first week.

In the second week, the box office did not fall, but rose to 12 million.

Another 12 million in the third week!!

It broke 30 million in another three weeks, and when it was released four weeks later, there was no pressure at all to win the box office of 40 million.

It's very uncomfortable.

There are so many Heung Kong Film companies, and your company has broken box office records one after another, is it interesting?

Do you want someone else to eat!?

No, not everyone is uncomfortable.

The two bosses of Yongsheng Company, who produced "The Gambler", were very high-spirited in the face of interviews with reporters.

"Without gambling adventures and trendy shooting, we really feel that this gambling series has vitality."

"Within half a year, he broke the box office record set by his "God of Gamblers" twice in a row? Not necessarily! After all, the situation in the first three weeks of "The Saint of Gamblers" was better than it is now, but it should be able to surpass "God of Gamblers". ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter to us, Yongsheng has always been determined to make good movies, and now it's just the beginning."

"By the way, our next "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" is also beginning to prepare, starring Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda, the golden pair, and we will meet you in the second half of the year, the quality is the same!"

“……”

Zou Wenhuai turned off the TV and looked at his cousin Cai Yongchang sitting next to him.

"Got it clear?" He asked.

"Hmm."

Cai Yongchang bowed his head: "The third part of "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint" is the same script written by the screenwriter named Xuluo. ”

"Tsk, that's amazing!" Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Immediately, the top two box office in Xiangjiang are occupied by his script!" How did such a person come out of nowhere, and why haven't we heard anything about it all this time? ”

"I can't inquire about that." Cai Yongchang said: "I only know that Xiang Thirteen transferred money to the mainland through Huaguo Bank twice, once for 1 million Hong Kong dollars and once for 1 million yuan. That screenwriter should be from the mainland, or be in the mainland. ”

"Mainlanders? No way! ”

Zou Wenhuai shook his head without thinking, "It's only possible that he went to the mainland temporarily, "The Saint of Gambling" and "The Gambler" are full of the color of Xiangjiang movies, how can a mainlander write it?" ”

"That's what I thought too."

"It's a pity, Yongsheng is too tightly hidden, and we can't find this person." Zou Wenhuai frowned and said, "Otherwise, Jiahe would also hope to get a script from him!" We can't rely on Aaron alone, and we shouldn't rely on him alone! ”

"Isn't there a Xu Ke ready to join us?" Cai Yongchang said.

"Xu Ke, ......"

Zou Wenhuai groaned, "He is a very talented person, but his film style is too weird and may not be suitable for the market." In terms of making money, he is not as good as Wang Jing. ”

"Huh."

Cai Yongchang smiled and did not express an opinion.

"Bang bang!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

With Zou Wenhuai's voice, a middle-aged man with a big back walked in.

"Brother Chang!" Cai Yongchang greeted politely!

"Ah Yong is also there!" He Guanchang smiled and bowed his head, turned to Zou Wenhuai and said, "Raymond, I just had dinner with an old friend of wireless, guess what news I heard?" ”

"What's the news?"

"An actor who used to come out of wireless is now going to the mainland to develop, and it is said that the treatment is quite good, and he is the leading actor of a TV series."

"Huh?"

Zou Wenhuai couldn't laugh or cry, "Ah Chang, you are talking nonsense!" Does the TV series have anything to do with our Golden Harvest? Not to mention the mainland! ”

"It is said that Wang Jing found this actor and persuaded him to go to the mainland to film." He Guanchang added another sentence.

"Hehe, when did Wang Jing have such a good relationship with mainland entertainment companies?" Zou Wenhuai still didn't care much.

"It is said that a friend of Wang Jing wrote a script about the theme of working girls in the south, and then chose this actor as the leading actor." He Guanchang added again.

"The theme of working girls? Isn't it ......"

"Brother Chang!"

Cai Yongchang suddenly interrupted his cousin's words, and said with some excitement: "Did you find something?" Wang Jing's friend, is it called Xuluo!? ”

Zou Wenhuai was startled, and his eyes turned to He Guanchang, "Ah Chang, isn't it?" ”

"Hahaha......"

He Guanchang sold the guanzi for a long time, and now he finally got the reward, and laughed happily.

Zou Wenhuai couldn't cry or laugh: "Say it quickly, Ah Chang!" ”

"Good, good." He Guanchang stopped laughing and said: "This actor's name is Tang Zhenzong, and he is the elder brother of Tang Zhenye, one of the five wireless tiger generals, and he is not very famous. From the information he revealed to his friends, he didn't know the name of the screenwriter, but the script was a good one. So he is about to go to the mainland to talk to the production company about the specific cooperation. ”

"I don't know who it is?" Zou Wenhuai was a little disappointed.

But Cai Yongchang was very excited, "Cousin, can't you really see it?" Wang Jing, a fat man, has no great benefits, can he run so diligently? also helped persuade others to go to the mainland to film? ”

Zou Wenhuai asked: "What benefits can others give him?" ”

Cai Yongchang said slowly: "Is it good to direct two consecutive movies with a box office of more than 40 million?" ”

Zou Wenhuai came back to his senses at this moment, "Huh? It seems that something is wrong when you say that! ”

At this time, He Guanchang continued: "Raymond, Ah Yong and I think the same, most of this friend in Wang Jing's mainland is the mysterious Xuluo!" How about asking him to write a script for Aaron? ”

Zou Wenhuai and Cai Yongchang looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Among the three giants of Golden Harvest, He Guanchang is in charge of actors, and what he likes most is to mingle with the actors below, and Cheng Long is his godson.

Now that Cheng Long is the number one superstar in Xiangjiang, He Guanchang naturally likes and praises him even more, so he has to think of Cheng Long whenever it is good.

Zou Wen withdrew his eyes without a trace, and said in a harmonious voice: "I also have this idea...... Then let's send someone to quietly follow Tang Zhenzong! See if it's the one we're looking for. ”

"I'll go!"

Cai Yongchang understood the way.

"Well, it's good for Yong to go." He Guanchang didn't think so much, and advised: "This Xuluo is estimated to be a bit greedy for money, and if you dare to charge 1 million for a script, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

"We Golden Harvest have never been afraid to spend money!" At the mention of this, Zou Wenhuai looked proud: "As long as the script is good, 1 million is nothing, I can afford to give ten scripts!" ”

He's not bragging, either.

Cheng Long, the No. 1 superstar in Xiangjiang, is now filming in Africa, called "Flying Eagle Project", which has already cost more than 80 million, and the final cost is definitely hundreds of millions.

A movie with an input cost of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, in the whole of Hong Kong and the whole of Asia, who else can make it except Golden Harvest?

Therefore, it is natural for Zou Wen to have such confidence and pride.

Cai Yongchang's mood was also very excited.

The success of a movie may not be a big deal.

But the huge success of the two films is very illustrative.

That is, this screenwriter understands the market very well and knows how to pick people.

Cai Yongchang had already heard that Xuluo's first script "Gambling Saint" was written to ask Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda to star.

At that time, Wang Jing led the project, because Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda were not expensive, and they discussed it with Xuluo many times, and finally decided on it.

As a result, "The Saint of Gambling" frantically won money and broke the box office record since the opening of Xiangjiang in one go.

Zhou Xingchi became popular because of this, and Wu Mengda was suddenly promoted to a gold medal supporting role.

Wang Jing's two consecutive movies in four months combined with a box office of more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, a moment of unparalleled, incomparably beautiful!

Ask yourself, after the filming, everyone thinks "I can write and shoot such a movie", but Cai Yongchang knows the difficulty of writing this kind of script.

Successful people don't need to change.

Now Xuluo already has two movies with a box office of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in hand, and "The Saint of Gambling" is in other cities, especially in Baodao, Japan and South Korea and other countries, and the box office performance is better than Zhou Yanfa's "God of Gamblers", which makes Cai Yongchang even more enthusiastic.

Be sure to find Xuluo and ask him to write a script for Jiahe!

No!

Just like my cousin said, as long as the quality is good, we can eat ten!!

……

Tomorrow the first recommendation.

The current recommendation is weird, and I don't understand it.

But I know that the core is still the support of my brothers and sisters, please continue to give it up!!
