"Hurricane Rescue" is determined to be directed by Ye Weixin, starring Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, Tony Jia, Hu Ge, and the villain is Fu Zhaolong.

The heroine is still being selected, it is estimated that it should be Chen Hao, after all, Tianmei Media is also involved in the production, the first sister does not play the heroine, should the second sister Zeng Li come?

Zeng Li can come, but she doesn't look like a sister at all!

In fact, Chen Hao is not like...

"New World", directed by Lin Lingdong, does not consider the mainland market, mainly considers the mainland region, such as South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asian markets...

Of course, if the censorship allows the release, the one that should be modified will also be modified, and there will be two versions!

After the rise of co-productions in '04, double versions have been popular – also to allow Hong Kong filmmakers to adapt to the rules of the mainland market.

However, after that, the double version will not be allowed directly, and the Hong Kong films that are co-produced on the track cannot bypass the mainland and be released in advance or on their own in other cities...

Unless you're a pure Hong Kong film...

Pulling it back, Wrinkle Huai still has confidence in "Cruel Streets".

On the one hand, although this theme is a gangster film, it is very realistic, unlike previous gangster films that tell about morality, the mainland can be released simultaneously, and it has not been cut;

On the other hand, this year's May 1st gear, there are almost no decent players...

Hollywood doesn't know what's going on this year, and May Day is another epic film - "Heavenly Dynasty".

This genre, the audience has long been tired of it!

Speaking of which, Hollywood is also popular to follow suit, after "Gladiator", a bunch of epic films have been established, but the box office including word-of-mouth is just like that.

There is only "Troy", which was released in 04, and it has a box office of 500 million US dollars worldwide, but "Spider-Man 2" with PG-13 rating that year received 800 million US dollars at the box office, so it is difficult to say how good the 500 million box office of "Troy" is.

As for other epic films, the box office is even more miserable.

"Alexander" only grossed $167 million worldwide, Disney's "King Arthur" $203 million, and "Robin Hood" with Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe teamed up again also only $321 million at the global box office...

Then there is "Ben Hur", which can be considered lucky to have a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars.

The only successful commercial epic was 2007's The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta...

In Wrinkle Huai's opinion, only one "Three Forks" is a bit challenging, but... The human dilemma about this film is completely out of line with the market...

Doomed to hit the streets!

Therefore, there is only one problem in front of Golden Harvest: how to make the audience willingly enter the cinema and pay for the movie.

This is very difficult, because in recent years, Hong Kong audiences are no longer so supportive of local movies, last year, aside from the overall champion "Kung Fu", the top ten grossing list, the box office exceeded 9 million and entered the list!

You must know that the tenth of the year in 82 is already 9.91 million - "Eighteen Martial Arts"!

After twenty years, it has gone backwards.

So, he's going to promote...

……

In the capital, Shen Xudong and Gao Fenfen came out of the movie channel and just held a script meeting for "Detective of the Republic of China".

There are no problems with the script and it is in accordance with the regulations.

The cost of the problem obviously exceeds the prescribed 2 million, and the effect must be increased by at least 10 million - 12 million!

That's not a TV movie!

If it's not a TV movie, it means that it will be released in theaters, and the problem is here, who dares to pack tickets for the movies that are brought to the market?

It's not that the movie channel hasn't made movies, produced or co-produced "Born Out of Thin Air", "My French Years"...

The box office is terrible!

Especially "Born Out of the Sky", the box office is only 30,000...

A group of people on the movie channel are hesitant ...

In the end, it was the director's decision - shoot!

The original words are: 'Most of the TV movies launched by our channel are mainly based on village and costume themes. Because the TV audience is mainly middle-aged and elderly, but we can't just see the present, and throw the young audience to other channels, and losing the young audience is equivalent to losing the future of our films.

While ensuring ratings, we should try more and launch a batch of movies that young audiences like. I think as long as the film is good, young audiences are still willing to watch it, and young people like to watch Hollywood movies, the key is the quality of the movie! ’

""Detective of the Republic of China", the story is suspenseful enough, and it does not violate the rules, I think it can be filmed!"

"As for the money, we will pay half of it, and they will solve the rest by themselves!"

How to fix it?

In fact, the investment problem of "Detective of the Republic of China" is very easy to solve, with Shen Xudong's appeal, whoever you find to make a relationship can bring in enough production funds.

However, Gao Fenfen wants to fund it herself!

Shen Xudong has no opinion - the cost of 12 million, the return of 4 million for patch advertising, 2 million for the movie channel movie copyright, 10 million for publicity, and the box office of 30 million should not be a big problem!

The probability of returning to the capital, or even making a small profit, is still very large.

After talking about this matter, the two of them returned to the company, and Gao Fenfen said that he had bought the adaptation rights of the two works of "Why Xiao Shengmo" and "Bi Shen Shen" ("It's Too Late to Say I Love You").

"There are only 12 million in the company's account, and there is no money to start a drama for the time being!"

“… You can pull investment! ”

Gao Fenfen shook her head: "That's not good, it's dangerous to borrow too much, wait for the first payment of "The Best Family" to arrive, wait a little longer..."

"Whatever you want..."

Shen Xudong can probably understand, after all, the company's expenses are too large, and he mainly controls the investment and production of three TV series, "Soldier Assault", "Secret Calculation", and "Wulin Gaiden", and in addition, the movie "Aviator" is also being filmed...

The payment of the TV series is slow...

……

"Cruel Street" has been released, but Shen Xudong doesn't seem to have joined the promotion...

Gao Fenfen was very concerned about this matter, and asked directly: "Are you in conflict with Jiahe?" ”

"Nope..."

"There is no contradiction, so why did Golden Harvest's propaganda leave you alone?"

"The mainland publicity has not yet started, and the mainland roadshow will be officially launched tomorrow... Besides, isn't it inappropriate to put publicity work on a screenwriter? ”

Gao Fenfen rolled her eyes: "Are you an ordinary screenwriter?" And we have follow-up cooperation plans with Golden Harvest! ”

Shen Xudong was noncommittal, and asked rhetorically: "... By the way, who are you going to recommend for the heroine of "Hurricane Rescue"? ”

Hearing this question, Gao Fenfen frowned: "I have contact with Liu Yifei... But she doesn't seem to have a schedule..."

"You contacted Liu Yifei?" Shen Xudong was surprised: "Why don't I know?" ”

"Tell you everything? She's the reddest right now... And her agency is not professional, I contacted her mother and wanted to sign her..."

“… I said! ”

It turned out that Aunt Liu, who was contacted, Aunt Liu even released pigeons in Huayi...

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a text message to ask Liu Yifei - the two movies "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "The Legend of the Hunter in Xing'anling" refused, and it is understandable that those two are low-budget horror films, but "Hurricane Rescue" refused, which is somewhat ignorant...

The lineup and genre are all action movies that Golden Harvest is good at, and the script is also created by Shen Xudong...

There's no reason to say no.
