In 96, I found Sammo Hung, Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Yaohan, Feng Qufan, Miao Qiaowei, Chen Baixiang, Zheng Peipei, Chen Guantai, Cao Dahua, Ye Fanghua, Peng Dan, Gong Xuehua, Lu Guanting, Long Fang, Mars, Cheng Kuian, Taibao, Ye Rongzu, Yuan Qiongdan, Yuan Xiangren and others to make a whole "Five Lucky Stars"...

It's a pity that the box office is only 2.08 million Hong Kong dollars...

Set a series low!

You must know that the last "Five Lucky Stars Hit Ghosts" also won a box office of 8.28 million Hong Kong dollars!

The "Five Lucky Stars" series has fed a lot of movies, such as Wang Jing's "Chasing Girls" ("Best Friends", "Hardcover Chasing Girls" five movies) series.

To put it simply, "Hardcover Chasing Girls" was actually called "Romantic Star" at the beginning, starring Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Manyu, and the producer is Arts Entertainment...

Back then, when gangsters were prevalent, you had Chow Yun-fat and Zhang Manyu, and I felt that the underworld personnel who could make money must not be able to ignore it, and continued to come to the door to ask for stock insertion.

was then handed over to Wang Jing to direct, and the original beautiful love story plot changed into a popular comedy under his hands, renamed "Hardcover Chasing Girls".

The cast retains Chow Yun-fat and Maggie Cheung's two money-absorbing signs, and then adds Feng Cuifan, Chen Baixiang, Zeng Zhiwei, etc. to undertake the laughing scene, and there are also Zhang Min, Jiang Liping, Guan Xiumei, Zheng Yuling and other roses to support the scene, and the storyline suddenly became prosperous.

It was released at the end of June 87 and grossed 21.7 million Hong Kong dollars in four weeks, ranking fifth this year.

In the second part, because Chow Yun-fat was out of schedule, Andy Lau of the Arts Energy Group played the male lead, and the female lead was replaced by the new Hong Kong sister runner-up Li Meifeng.

"Chasing Girls 2", four weeks after its release, got a box office of 17 million Hong Kong dollars, although it was slightly inferior to its predecessor, but the box office after its release in Taiwan, China the next month was better than the first one...

So the filming of the third part began...

Until the fifth part, Wang Jing really couldn't spare time - he was filming "God of Gamblers" and handed it over to Huang Jinghua to take care of, but Andy Lau failed to star...

The box office only collected 13 million, and the sales port was not very good...

Yongsheng has finished this series!

In addition to "Chasing Girls", Chenglong's Weihe Company also found a batch of original team members to shoot a series of "Overlord Flower" series led by Hu Huizhong and all the brothers of the family class, although it is a low-cost model movie, but it is very profitable!

Cheng Long's original words: The first part was filmed, and the investor watched the sample film, and immediately took the money to start filming the second part...

By the way, the first part of "The Instructor" starring Wang Zhi has sold the copyright in Southeast Asia and made a small profit...

The mainland is scheduled for April 23, as long as the reputation is good, the sequel will soon follow - "The Instructor" continues the worldview of "Black Hero", and Shi Nansheng serves as the producer...

Speaking of the "Five Lucky Stars" series, in fact, two thousand years ago, Sammo Hung and Wang Jing planned a "Super Five Lucky Stars", and the actors' scripts were ready, but unfortunately, Golden Harvest had no money to shoot!

I heard that Hong Jinbao took the initiative to propose to restart "Five Lucky Stars" because of Golden Harvest's restart of "Best Partner"...

Hong Jinbao has been very embarrassed in the past two years, and no one has asked him to act...

As an actor, his role is too limited, and there are always too few roles suitable for fat people, and then when he gets older, it is difficult to even take the funny route of playing ugly and playing treasures, but fortunately, he can play roles such as gangster bosses, and his orange color has basically been like this in recent years.

A few years ago, the director of the "Hurricane Rescue" trilogy asked him to be the director, which was considered to be brave for a while...

But after "Suit Thug", "Slaying the Wolf", etc., it was Qian Jiale who was enabled...

However, Zhong Lifang arranged two plays of Hong Jinbao according to the plot of "Eight Liang Gold" - the plot of "Eight Liang Gold" is the story of New York Chinese returning to the countryside to visit relatives, focusing on local feelings, which was changed to the kind of "My Agent Grandpa", the story of Hong Jinbao, who was born as a mercenary, returning to his hometown, the first plot refers to "Eight Liang Gold" + "Classic Car", mainly playing...

It will also be released in the summer of this year.

Pulling it back, Hong Jinbao still cares a lot about the "Five Lucky Stars" series, but restarting "Five Lucky Stars"... Shen Xudong is very unoptimistic!

……

"Lucky Star Tour... Hong Jinbao plans to find Liang Jiahui, Yuan Qiu, and Yuan Hua to come together... plus a few of the hottest young actors in the mainland..."

Seeing the project planning, Shen Xudong was quite surprised - it was indeed very similar to that, and quickly asked: "Make it a road comedy?" ”

“… It's not, Hong Jinbao means comedy in the first half, and fight in the second half..."

Shen Xudong was speechless: ""Five Lucky Stars Hit Ghosts" is like this, more than 90 minutes of movie, the first 40 minutes, has been showing "Five Lucky Stars" on the way to travel "pick up girls", "rub oil", gags, an hour, the small story line of "female drug lord" slowly unfolded. And in the remaining 30 minutes, it is impossible to not only show rich fight scenes, but also take into account the extension of the plot line! ”

"You mean cut out the play?"

"I mean find a few screenwriters and rewrite the script, either take a road comedy, or simply this tour group is to investigate the case, and the main plot cannot be scattered!"

Zhong Lifang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I have no opinion..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Actually, it's not bad to make a comedy, refer to the French comedy "Welcome to the North"..."

"Using map cannons and stereotypes as creative modules?"

"That's right, in the past, Hong Kong film and television dramas mentioned that the mainland was Beigu or Daquanzai, and it can be set that these people have never been to the mainland, and they are full of stereotypes and prejudices against the mainland..."

Zhong Lifang wondered: "Can a trip change prejudice?" ”

"Movies, dreams... Only the story is smooth and logical, and the rest is left to the audience to judge! ”

Zhong Lifang thought for a while: "I'll think about it." ”

"I want to... I'll go first! ”

As he spoke, Shen Xudong turned around and was about to leave, and Zhong Lifang immediately asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"See a friend!"

"Which friend?"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Huang Baiming and Shi Nansheng!" ”

“… Then you bring the script of "Best Partner"..."

Shen Xudong took the notebook, opened it casually, and asked by the way: "Have you chosen the actor well?" ”

"Hmm..."

"Who?"

"Huang Zihua and Guo Jinan..."

Shen Xudong immediately asked: "Guo Jinan... May I? ”

"It should be no problem, he is the actor of Ya Cha Su in our reboot version of "Once Upon a Time"..."

"But both protagonists are Hong Kong actors... It doesn't quite follow the rules of filming, does it? ”

"It's okay, the heroine is good with Chen!"

"Then I'll look at the script..."
