Of course, Huang Baiming is a big man in the Hong Kong circle!

The seven monsters of New Art City have their own abilities.

What was the situation in the Hong Kong film industry before?

Small circle, big market, few talents, all the superior resources are concentrated in the hands of the most concentrated small people, to ensure the income, only the best resources can be put in the hands of the most marketable value of a few people.

The general working time from receiving the film to the completion is 60 days, and the maximum time to release is 100 days, which is the preparation time for the movie at that time!

For any creator who can gain a foothold in the market and form a complete style, it should be respected!

Huang Baiming is not the same as the other six in the Seven Monsters, he is a screenwriter - "The Wrong Car", written all night long, invincible!

As for the actors, they became famous from the second male number in comedy and the star of B-grade movies.

Later, he relied on "Happy Ghost" to become famous in the film industry...

After becoming a big man, he identified the festival consciousness of Hong Kong people, aiming at the Spring Festival market and using the all-star lineup of family carnival themes.

For a businessman, this kind of movie doesn't matter about the script at all, as long as there are stars and jokes, everyone is happy, and it doesn't matter what photography, art, and lighting are, so it's no problem for him to direct it himself.

To be honest, his directing skills... Slightly equal to nothing!

But the vision is really good, and it's shameless enough, "Ip Man" was originally called "The Grandmaster: Ip Man", Wang Jiawei started to prepare in 02, and then... Huang Baiming took the lead in filming, which was also called "The Grandmaster: Ip Man" at the beginning, and was ridiculed by Wang Jiawei's Zedong Film and Television, "Healthy competition is good, and the methods of filming the same theme are different, and the effect is different, but if even the name of the play is the same, this kind of behavior is so despicable!" Then changed the name to "Ip Man"...

Shen Xudong came to Hong Kong this time, mainly for "Ip Man".

Of course, his first choice was Golden Harvest!

He's shameless.

……

Huang Bin is a business person arranged by the company, and Shen Xudong is just in control of the general direction...

Huang Bin knows more about many details than him.

Golden Harvest proved its distribution ability and organization ability with a "Cruel Street" last year, and this year made three movies "The Tailor", "Hurricane Rescue" and "New World"...

All of them are the works of Shen Xudong's screenwriter.

Among them, "New World" was made together with the Emperor, and Shen Xudong pulled the line - the Emperor also made "Manslaughter"...

Why not find Media Asia?

In 98, Golden Harvest bid for the land for Tseung Kwan O Cinema specially approved by the government, but was won by six film companies including Run Shaw and China Star.

In normal business exchanges, Shen Xudong did not participate, he mainly chatted with Wrinkles.

"I have always felt that the biggest contribution of Hong Kong films is the word kung fu, looking at the global film industry, the most recognized in the world is only Chinese action movies, blockbusters are good, but action movies are my foundation!"

Wrinkle nodded: "Whether it is the scale of investment or the choice of theme, Hollywood is far superior to us, only action movies... But now, there are no good seedlings! ”

“… Wu Jing, Zhang Jing, Wu Yue, Shi Xiaolong, including Xie Miao are all good action movie seedlings..."

“… I only know one Wu Jing..."

"Semyon... Oh, when he cooperated with Li Lian, Li Lianlian had already broken away from Golden Harvest! ”

In the 90s, Li Lian and Golden Harvest Company packaged acting, but after the contract expired, Golden Harvest Company did not fulfill the contract agreement.

Because of improper arrangements, Li Lianlian has not filmed enough 4 works in two years, and Golden Harvest Company is unwilling to release people.

Later, with the help of his agent Cai Ziming, he left Golden Harvest, and then Cai Ziming was shot...

The Hong Kong entertainment real Nima was lawless back then!

But this has nothing to do with Shen Xudong, he continued: "Action movies must be innovated, we are tired of watching it ourselves, what about looking at the world?" There are so many types of fighting in the world that you can use to shoot! ”

"So what do you think is the direction of development?"

"I think the fighting skills in "Spy" are good..."

“… I heard them say that the fight scenes in "Hurricane Rescue" are the references to "Spy Shadows"? ”

"Yes!"

“… Are you sure? ”

Shen Xudong nodded: "It's not a big problem." ”

“… So you're coming this time? ”

"I want to do Ip Man!"

"Bruce Lee's master?"

"Yes..."

Why not The Legend of Bruce Lee?

"The Legend of Bruce Lee" began to be planned in 04, and Bruce Lee's child Li Xiangning was brought in as a producer, and CCTV funded the creation...

Shen Xudong couldn't intervene at all.

"I have no opinion... Starring: Who are you looking for? ”

“… Donnie Yen... I want to find Brother Sanbao to be a director! ”

"Sanmao... Okay, I'll say it! ”

Sanmao is Hung Jinbao, and Hung Jinbao relied on Wing Chun to fight against Lau Kar-leung!

Liu Jialiang's creative route is very clear, the first work "Shen Hit", and then "Lu Acai and Huang Feihong", "Hong Xiguan", it is obvious that his purpose is to trace the entire history of Hong Boxing, Hong Jinbao was in charge of the tube, and chose "Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu"...

This is actually very shameless, because the Sande monk and Chung Mi Liu also belong to the Hongquan Grandmaster, according to Liu Jialiang's shooting plan, Huang Feihong, Lu Acai, Hong Xiguan, Dong Qianjin, and Chung Mi Liu all belong to the descendants of Hong Boxing, and the Sande monk is even more so...

"Sande Monk and Chung Mi Liu" lost very badly, although it only lost less than 800,000 at the box office, but its reputation and influence were crushed!

Hung Jinbao found another way and started filming the Wing Chun kung fu film "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qian Hua", Mr. Zan is Ryazan, and looking for Qian Hua is Chen Huashun, yes, Ip Man's master - and he is a closed disciple!

Including "The Loser", which Hung Jinbao completely became famous afterward, it is actually Wing Chun, because the actor is Ryazan!

Therefore, to film "Ip Man", Hung Jinbao is the best candidate.

……

"The old man doesn't care about anything now, but his eyes are still there..."

The negotiation is almost over, and the rest is to raise funds and distribute profits, and this specific negotiation may require Gao Fenfen to come to Hong Kong specifically...

Shen Xudong and Huang Bin ate rice rolls together, chatting while eating...

"People have been making movies all their lives."

Huang Bin has a different opinion: "It's a pity that Golden Harvest can only rely on the label to eat now, and the person I contacted can't even speak Mandarin well!" ”

Back then, after He Guanchang's death, Cheng Long left, and Golden Harvest Productions was unable to continue for a while... Later, Gu Dezhao became the creative director of Golden Harvest, and he only made one Chinese New Year film every year, and after successively filming "Marry a Rich Man", "Lucky Superman", and honorably produced "Golden Rooster", he stopped producing the production business.

Now the director of the production business is Wrinkled and pregnant with a daughter...

The wrinkled daughter can't say that she doesn't know anything about movies, but she can also say that she doesn't have much ability...

"It's nice to have a label... At least the wrinkles are still there, and the influence is still there. ”

“… By the way, Mr. Shen, the propaganda of "Detective of the Republic of China"... How much trouble you have to worry about when you go back! ”

"I will!"

Shen Xudong nodded...

After all, it was the first movie with the Movie Channel.

The movie channel did not set up a publicity department, and the publicity of "Detective of the Republic of China" all relied on Tianmei Media, and the company also invested 6 million in the movie starring Huang Bo and Chen Hao, and the company must attach great importance to it.

The cost of 12 million needs to be recovered by cinema channels, so the publicity must be done well!

Generally speaking, the minimum cost of large-scale publicity is 10 million - you have to lay posters, you have to put some light signs, you have to advertise in theaters...

So many cities across the country...

In addition, various press conferences are held.

Therefore, many poor projects are basically not publicized.

In other words, plus the cost of publicity, "Detective of the Republic of China" must have a box office of at least 40 million to ensure that it does not lose money - TV copyrights and audio-visual copyrights are recorded at 4 million...
