Whether you like Zhou Xingchi or not, he is the king of comedy!

And he was kind to Shen Xudong - the first issue of "Screening Room" that year was "The King of Comedy: Zhou Xingchi", which directly opened up sales, and in addition, the highest rated issue of "Movie Talk" was also "Journey to the West"...

It can be said that Stephen Chow has a lot of wool.

Therefore, Shen Xudong has a lot of respect for Zhou Xingchi.

In fact, Zhou Xingchi mixed very badly in the Hong Kong entertainment industry - Xiang Huaqiang Chen Lan and other stars boycotted Zhou Xingchi back then, so that many film companies did not dare to invest in Zhou Xingchi, and many stars did not dare to cooperate with him, and they stood up to express their unfamiliarity with Zhou Xingchi.

Should I say it or not, Zhou Xingchi was able to gain a foothold in the mainland back then, and Huayi helped him a lot!

You must know that for about 2,000 years, the mainstream media was very disdainful of Stephen Chow, saying that his movies swear too much, spoofing celebrities, and teaching bad children...

"Shaolin Football" has not been released in mainland China...

Zhou Xingchi's first film "Kung Fu" released in the mainland was invested and distributed by Huayi, Huayi was the absolute boss in the film market at that time, and the success of "Kung Fu" was certainly due to the film itself, but it was also related to Huayi's vigorous publicity and distribution.

Feng Xiaogang made a cameo appearance in Zhou's movie again, promoted his platform, and touted him on various occasions.

But Feng Xiaogang invited Zhou Xingchi to help promote the movie on the platform, but Zhou refused...

In addition, in 2010, Feng Xiaogang's "Tangshan Earthquake" collided with the release date of Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 7 Love Earth", in order not to affect Zhou Xingchi's box office, Feng Xiaogang postponed the release of "Tangshan Earthquake" by two weeks...

But Zhou Xingchi was very interested in Feng Xiaogang... It's really a bit of a red fruit fruit that I can't look like.

As for some people who say that Zhou Xingchi has no friends, this is a bit exaggerated, Xinghui was founded back then, and the funds were provided by the super-rich Liu Luanxiong, in addition, he also has a good relationship with Luo Zhaohui, a real estate wizard who died of indulgence...

Why do so many people scold him?

First, the Hong Kong circle has a tradition of helping each other, especially after the decline of Hong Kong film and television, many people have not worked in front of and behind the scenes, and they need the big guys to take the lead in helping.

Second, he basically doesn't think about problems from other people's point of view, to put it mildly, it means that he is too focused on his own affairs, to put it mildly, he doesn't care much about the life and death of others, even if this person has worked with him for a long time.

For Zhou, you are like a stranger, so I won't hate you, I won't say bad things about you, and I won't help you.

This kind of person is difficult to survive in the entertainment industry!

But he doesn't need to look at other people's faces, love to scold or not...

So, it's easy to talk to him, he asks you answers.

"We predict the box office, in addition to the movie itself, but also depends on the schedule and type, then this year's Chinese New Year must have a movie that breaks one billion, otherwise, this schedule will be wasted..."Thai Embarrassment" is a family comedy, and the quality is also good, breaking one billion is expected!"

"What about "One Shot"?"

Shen Xudong was a little surprised: "You actually know "One Shot to the End"? ”

Zhou Xingchi said in very awkward Mandarin: "... The movie directed by Ning Hao, and it was released one day apart from "Zodiac"... I'm still very concerned. ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while, and then said: "I used to think that "One Shot to the End" is similar to "Thai Embarrassment", both of which are at the level of one billion, but now I feel that I have ignored that the film market may not be able to accommodate it..."

Also, there are two movies that break one billion in the same schedule, and in addition, no matter how good "Zodiac" is, it is also a movie of Cheng Chan, at least 500 million box office...

Therefore, Shen Xudong didn't dare to say it too absolutely.

Next, Zhou Xingchi asked Shen Xudong for his movie secrets.

"I make movies, the idea is very simple, you see, movies, nothing more than investors invest, production companies shoot, cinemas screen, audiences watch, how to make everyone satisfied? It must be that everyone has something to earn, and the audience is satisfied! ”

"Therefore, it must be a commercial film, and the box office of a commercial film can be roughly calculated from the script stage..."

Zhou Xingchi listened for a while, and then asked rhetorically; "You take the script very seriously?"

"Of course!" Shen Xudong nodded: "I'm a screenwriter!" ”

……

Shen Xudong came to see Zhou Xingchi, in addition to respect, there was also an invitation to cooperate.

It's not "Mermaid".

The movie "Mermaid", according to Wang Changtian's words, 'Zhou Xingchi must definitely be the biggest winner!' ’

Indeed, Zhou Xingchi's mermaid earned 680 million, and the profit of Light Media did not reach 200 million...

Shen Xudong wouldn't do such a thing!

Unless Zhou Xingchi is willing to buy out, but he will definitely not do it - "Journey to the West" has not yet been released, the game copyright has been sold, and 110 million was sold to TiMi Games, all types of buyouts, covering mobile games, terminal games, web games...

Including all types of side-scrolling fighting, MMO RPG, cards, etc.,

Of course, this money is TiMi Media's - 300 million buyout!

Zhou Xingchi doesn't know these things yet, but he will definitely know, so is he still willing to accept the buyout in the next play?

Even if you are willing to accept it, you can't imagine the price.

By the way, many people are looking forward to "Kung Fu 2", but the copyright of "Kung Fu" is in the hands of Colombia - when "Kung Fu" was released in North America that year, Colombia spent $20 million on publicity and promotion, and the total box office turned out to be $17 million...

If you want to do "Kung Fu 2", Colombia will definitely divide the mainland market, but Zhou Xingchi is unwilling...

He even threw off "Mermaid 2" from Light Media, and then it has never been released!

Because the light is also the copyright owner, you did the sequel without notifying the light, how could it be possible for you to release it safely?

Therefore, Shen Xudong directly took out the script - the script of "Sunshine Fierce", and then said: "I wrote this script, which is the mentality of a movie fan, and I want you to cooperate with Wu Mengda again..."

"It's been a long time since I've acted!"

Although Stephen Chow shook his head, he still took the script and briefly flipped through it.

The script of "Sunshine Fierce" is very simple, it belongs to the autobiographical genre in the form of a semi-documentary, the protagonist Zhou Xingxing is famous, but he is very withdrawn...

The entertainment industry is more like rivers and lakes than rivers and lakes, out of the mud and not stained, this is the biggest dream in the entertainment industry...

Zhou Xingxing has a partner, Uncle Da, of course, the two have not seen each other for almost ten years, and they have nothing to do with each other.

He found out that he was suffering from cancer, so he thought about meeting Uncle Da...

The two met and had a drink...

Around the cooperation between Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengda, we began to talk about...

Later, Uncle Da learned that Zhou Xingxing was suffering from cancer, so he helped him form a bureau and invited all the actors he had worked with that year to come over, of course, there were very few people who were willing to come, just seven or eight people, and it was another hot pot game...

When the dinner was over, the main reason, Karen Mok, came...

Zhou Xingchi quickly flipped through the script and immediately asked: "... Why is it called "Sunshine Fierce"? How does this story end? ”

"Sunshine Fierce, Sun-Strong, means that many things you think are very important, but in fact, it's just someone else's business, Sunshine doesn't care at all, it's still fierce and hot..."After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Wrap it up, I plan to let Uncle Da get cancer, and I found out before I received a call from Zhou Xingxing... That's why he's trying to reconcile you with the past... Later, Zhou Xingxing found out the misdiagnosis, and wanted to call Uncle Da directly, but there was a project at hand to prepare, Zhou Xingxing arranged a role for Uncle Da, and then went to him, he was dead... He also left a letter to Zhou Xingxing, and he knew all the truth..."

"Tragedy?"

"I can't let you still act in comedy, can you?"

“… How much does that cost? ”

"Look at how much you get paid!"
