The "Best Partner" series, a total of five parts, the first "Best Partner", the second "Best Partner: The Great Miracle", the third "Best Partner Queen's Secret", the fourth "Best Partner: A Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman", and the fifth "New Best Partner", each of which exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

Including "The New Best Partner", which has a very bad reputation...

"The New Best Partner" is actually "The Best Partner Terracotta Warriors", and the word "new" is mainly reflected in the addition of the Snitch sisters and brothers played by Li Zhi and Zhang Guorong, who are the new best partners.

This is undoubtedly another subversion of the basic setting of the series!

Li Zhi and Zhang Guorong were very popular back then, and with such a blockbuster fresh blood injected, the producers obviously hoped to bring the dead back to life.

It's a pity that the action-comedy mode of the thief genre is no longer popular...

The fifth part is over, and "Best Partner" is also over!

Then in 97, Huang Baiming tried to restart, found Liang Chaowei + Alan Tam, and Zhong Liti, and filmed a "Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner"...

In 97, Hong Kong films have been lonely...

And..."Drunken Street Partner" was released on June 21, and on June 26, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was released, and the latter won nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office...

Such an opponent in the same schedule is dead!

The final box office was 10.74 million Hong Kong dollars, which completely killed this series.

Is there any learning value?

"Drunk Street Partner" is a very typical Hong Kong film: making bad movies with a professional attitude.

There are all kinds of elements: comedy, custom-made, love and even gangster vendetta - creating a somewhat famous villain Lei Yuyang (played by Wu Zhenyu), classic line: "I haven't told you the purpose of my visit this time." The purpose of my visit this time is to kill everyone. ”

No reference value...

If you want to borrow, the script of "Best Partner" borrows from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Ocean's Eleven"...

Well, the Treasure Hunt genre film!

Treasure hunting is a specialized subgenre in Hollywood, and this genre is basically a visual effects blockbuster + handsome men and beautiful women celebrities, pile money into it, and then earn more money back.

Although the starring role is Huang Zihua + Guo Jinan, they are more of a tandem role...

The first part is called "Eye-opening"...

Find a bunch of old guys to work together, and then divide the spoils unevenly, Huang Zihua and Guo Jinan finally picked up the cheap in vain...

The screenwriters are Zhong Weijia, Liang Lemin, and Lu Jianqing.

Zhong Wei has a good grasp of genre films, "Disappearing Bullet" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine" are all his works...

The reason why Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing are added is mainly because they are directors and are responsible for controlling the general direction...

Huang Baiming was originally going to mix it up, read the script, and then hung up a planning name.

I really can't mix it in - his current understanding of the script is still stuck in the last century...

Moreover, he recently cooperated with Huayi...

……

It's in a nightclub...

really convinced Huang Baiming, he is old, and Nima goes to nightclubs every day...

There were two or three beautiful women sitting next to them...

Seeing Shen Xudong, he got up happily: "Let's go, Shi Nansheng is waiting for us at the hotel!" ”

Fortunately, he still remembers Shi Nansheng...

A couple of girls left with a lot of eyes and didn't come along...

In the car, Huang Baiming talked about "Loyal Yang Family General" - it is confirmed that it will be released on April 4th...

""Loyal Yang Family General"... I don't see any publicity, huh? ”

"Brother Huayi broke up with us..."

"Why?"

"Collaborated on a few dramas and didn't make any money..."

Shen Xudong smiled; "I heard you're getting close to Rakushi?"

Huang Baiming did not deny it: "There is a lot of money given by Rakushi!" ”

After the film industry joined, it began to recruit troops, and Huang Baiming was the first to take refuge - "Eight Stars Hugging Happiness", "Hundred Star Hotel", "Liufu Happy Event", "Anti-Corruption Storm", "Bounty Hunter" are all paid by Luoshi, and Huang Baiming produces...

There are losses and gains.

He signed a five-part contract with the Huayi brothers before, the first "Happy Magic" lost a lot of money, and the second "Loyal Yang Family General", Hua Yi didn't want to spend a lot of money on publicity.

In this play, Huayi invested 30 million...

Let's not talk about the follow-up film schedule, but only 15% of the film schedule was scheduled on the first day, and Huayi really left it to fend for itself - there are not many theater poster trailers.

The sense of publicity is weak, and there are not a few posters in the theater, saying that the audience decides to save the film, if you try to grab the film at the beginning, and then the audience doesn't buy it, reduce it, there is nothing to say, but this has not been worked hard from the beginning!

However, Shen Xudong probably knows the reason: ""The Female General of the Yang Gate" is too cheating, which directly affects the reputation of the Yang general! ”

Huang Baiming also knew the reputation of "Yang Men Female General", and sighed: "... Alas! ”

"Yangmen Female General", Bona spent a lot of money on publicity, and then lost blood - it is estimated that he didn't even earn the publicity funds.

The impact of this thing on the same genre is also immeasurable.

……

Shi Nansheng is the vice president of Golden Harvest, Zhong Lifang dug it up, and is responsible for "Best Partner", "Five Lucky Stars", "Huang Feihong" and "Instructor" series...

She divorced Xu Ke last year.

It's really not worth it for her.

At that time, although there was a behind-the-scenes cadre who could film and direct, no one would manage the company.

If it weren't for Shi Nansheng's joining, Xinyicheng would probably be a grass platform team at most, and it would have dispersed early.

In order to recruit her, Huang Baiming, Le Jia and Shi Nansheng, the bosses of Xinyi City, only met a few times, and they were busy putting a month's salary into her bank card, for fear that Shi Nansheng would not come!

And Shi Nansheng went completely for Xu Kecai.

Later, Xu Ke disagreed with the concept of Xinyicheng and flew solo, Shi Nansheng did not hesitate to leave the already glorious Xinyicheng and set up an independent studio with Xu Ke.

Xu Ke...

It's just that if you get married, it must be two people who reach a consensus and decide that Dink will live his life, only each other, and help each other until he is old.

Some men Dinkdin is halfway through and decides to get out of the car, leaving a significant other half who is unable to have children, alone and driving to the end of his life.

Real scum.

When he was young, he tricked a woman to accompany him to work hard in his career, and he was chic everywhere, enjoying the other party's youth, emotional support, and spiritual resonance. Don't let your children disturb your own free life, and don't let family trivialities hold you back.

When you are old, you will kick off the young wife and replace it with a younger woman to give birth to a child.

However, Shen Xudong still entrusts Xu Ke with important responsibilities, he is the producer of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, he is also the producer of the "Di Renjie" series, and now he has opened the "Journey to the West" series...

met, first talked about "Best Partner", and then talked about "The Sun Shines"

"The Sun Shines" was released in January, with a box office of about 9 million Hong Kong dollars...

It wasn't worth discussing, but it included 10 Academy Award nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Cinematography, Best Editing...
