Chapter 35: I Don't Like It...

Accompanied Gong Li on the red carpet, both sides of the red carpet were crowded with students, shouting 'pen pen' in unison...

Gong Li couldn't help but ask, "Who are they shouting beep?" ”

"Zhou Bichang!" Shen Xudong explained: "The runner-up of "Supergirl" last year..."

"So popular?"

"Of course, her glasses with the same frame were sold out of stock..."

“… So powerful? ”

"Hmm... She participated in a movie and sold more than 10 million box office! ”

Gong Li nodded: "I'm afraid that Guoli's movie this time is going to be a big hit!" ”

More than 10 million box office is a big number in 06!

Gong Li's "Beautiful Mother" and "Zhou Yu's Train" that year, the former had a box office of 8 million, and the latter had a box office of 12 million...

Zhou Bichang's "Springfield Huahua Classmates Association" sold 12 million in the mainland, and 9 million in Hong Kong...

The movie of Guoli in Gong Li's mouth refers to "The 601st Phone" directed by Zhang Guoli, and found Zhou Bichang, Hu Ge, Zhang Baizhi and Guo Degang...

From the very beginning, the producer's positioning is pen fan + steel wire...

And then the box office fiasco!

That's a story for later.

"By the way, Fa Ge is also here, do you want to meet him?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm not going..."

Gong Li was puzzled: "Have activities to participate in?" ”

"I'm going to see Sammo Hung ..."

Gong Li thought of something, and looked incredulous: "... You don't like Zhou Runfa? ”

"yes... I don't like him! ”

"Why?"

"If you don't like it, you don't like it, how can there be so many why?"

……

Shen Xudong doesn't like Zhou Yanfa, for no other reason, he pretends to be too forced, and he considers himself an international movie star...

Typical self-respect!

Starting with a salary of $8 million?

In accordance with international rules...

Why do you follow international rules? Do you have an international market for wool?

Where does he have a market overseas?

Wang Jing openly said, "In Haolaiwu, Zhou Runfa is not a card, Li Lian is." If I want to make a blockbuster and enter Hollywood, I will only use Lee Link, and I will definitely not use Chow Yun-fat. ’

Of course, Zhou Yunfa's status in Hong Kong is very high, because he made his debut in the wireless training class, and he is a big brother!

If the Hong Kong film and television industry is a Jianghu, after killing the Great Wall, Cathay Pacific, and Denmao, the leader of the martial arts alliance is Shaw Shaw, and the other gangs are He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, Huang Baiming and Tsui Hark of the New Wave, and Yuan Heping, who represents the interests of the Dragon and Tiger martial artists.

Run Run Shaw thought of a way very early on, cultivated his own descendants, and opened a small stove teaching... A large number of actors have been trained.

The Hong Kong Film Awards actor has been given to so many people, but not to Jackie Chan, and Huang Qiusheng, who gave human meat barbecued pork buns, is not given to Jackie Chan!

However, the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, which has been established for 40 years, has not had a single wireless training class!

It wasn't until 2018 that it was given to Louis Koo!

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there are fights...

However, there is a good thing about Zhou Runfa, he doesn't participate in these - otherwise, with his popularity, if he has a little ambition, he may not know what will happen.

……

Sammo Hung likes Shen Xudong very much, and the main "Screening Room" objectively evaluates Sammo Hung - the pioneer of comedy kung fu and fantasy kung fu, and helped Golden Harvest fight against Shaw Brothers and New Art City with his own strength...

Shen Xudong didn't take the script, but just told him the script idea of "The Legend of the Wicked"...

The script of the Legend of the Wicked can be summed up in one sentence: countering violence with violence, the gang boss cooperates with the police to hunt down and kill serial killers.

"Brother Sanmao, what do you think of this idea?"

"That's good... You have the ability, I will do whatever you say..."

Sammo Hung finished filming "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and admired the screenwriter very much...

Moreover, he is indeed a little old--he can't accept it.

I didn't introduce it completely, in fact, many marketing accounts advocated Sammo Hung status, and they didn't write this paragraph - they lost more than 20 dramas in a row, and there was no drama to shoot for a while.

In 89, Sammo Hung left Golden Harvest and founded Baoxiang, and then lost more than a dozen movies in a row - Situ Zhuohan said (Sammo Hung royal screenwriter) said that 'after leaving Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung directed, participated in, and starred in more than a dozen movies, and only one "Fat Powder Heroes" made money...'

"The Fat Powder Couple" made money because of Alan Tam - to be exact, Alan Tam's ability to sell ports in South Korea.

Previously, "The Supreme" scored the third place in the annual number of people in Seoul, South Korea, in addition to Andy Lau who became popular, Alan Tam also followed the income, and the starring "Supreme Talent" also entered the ninth place in the annual number of people in Seoul, South Korea, which shows that the Korean audience bought Alan Tam at that time.

Sammo Hung himself produced, including "Ghost Feet", "Dragons and Phoenixes", "Crazy Pillow Man", "Face Girl", etc., are all loss-making.

Movies that are the protagonists or producers, "Streets on Fire", "Ghost Bites Ghosts", "Never Forget Love", "Elf Change", etc., can't escape the fate of losing money

That's not all, from 92 to 93, Sammo Hung worked as a director or producer outside for movies, such as "The Legend of the God of War", "Five Lucky Stars Hit the Ghost", "Painted Skin Yin and Yang Law King", "One Knife Falls into the City", all of them lost a lot of money, and "One Knife Fell into the City" made the boss Luo Wei tens of millions in debt, and he went bankrupt in his later years - and he borrowed usury!

It's not good to be a director, so what about being an actor?

In those years, he starred in "Hong Fu Qitian", "The Verge", "Menggui Invasion of the Underworld", etc., and he couldn't escape the fate of losing money...

Let's put it this way, at that time, many colleagues in the film industry no longer called him "big brother", but called him "Sanmao".

Who pulled him?

Jackie Chan!

I asked him to direct "A Good Man"...

In the late 90s, basically no one asked Sammo Hung to make Hong Kong films, so he was once good at coming to the dock, in fact, after filming "A Good Man", he filmed "Crossing the River Dragon" and the response was good...

It's a pity that he doesn't like it!

When I returned to Hong Kong, I had no project to find, so I could only come to the mainland for development, and once I could only shoot TV series, "SWAT Flying Dragon", "New Shushan Swordsman", "Stealing the Day", "Wing Chun"...

So, he is now full of doubts about himself...

relied on playing the villain to broaden the way of playing...

But the ability to sell ports is still the same, slightly equal to zero.

So, Sammo Hung was curious: "I have a question, don't you know what I'm doing now?" ”

Shen Xudong smiled: "Mr. Wrinkle Huai recommends you, and I also think that "A Knife Falls into the City" and "Ah Jin" are all non-war crimes!" ”

Oh, "Ah Jin" starring Sammo Hung and Michelle Yeoh, during filming, there was a scene that needed to push Michelle Yeoh off the bridge, but I didn't expect Michelle Yeoh to be seriously injured because of this...

In addition, the Hong Kong box office of "Ah Jin" did not reach 1 million...

In fact, "A Knife in the City" and "A Jin" are all good movies, "A Knife in the City" needless to say, a bunch of golden sentences 'People who have never worried about the country have been sad for the ages.' As long as you are like-minded, even if it is full of wind and frost, there will always be a sunny day. ’

"Ah Jin" is also good, telling the struggle of the stuntman, that is, the martial artist, which is much better than the current "Dragon Horse Spirit"...

"The Spirit of Ryoma"... Speechless, salute Hong Kong martial arts...

Relying on the defense, what is messy, and there are three lines, one is the deep love between people and horses, the second is the reconciliation of father and daughter, and the third is to pay tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial arts...

To be honest, there is only one suggestion for watching this movie: edit it into three movies so that you can cheat three parts of the money, and it doesn't affect each other if you don't get together anyway!

Shen Xudong then added: "I just have one request, the action design of "The Legend of the Wicked" should be realistic, and there is no need for bells and whistles, just fight for life and death..."

Sammo Hung nodded: "What you want to do is a drama, not an action movie..."

"yes, that's what it means."

"What about the actors? Who are you looking for? ”
