Andy Lau's idea is not a fantasy.

He's really on fire.

The premiere of "Lone Agent" received praise from many critics.

"Lone Agent" is a well-themed action movie that has succeeded in capturing the audience's attention.

Andy Lau's more than three months of martial arts training, as well as John Woo's specially designed shootout, all made American audiences deeply fascinated by this film.

The film didn't grossing well on its first day of release, earning less than $1 million at the box office.

But as word of mouth gradually fermented, in the following days, the box office became higher and higher day by day.

In the end, the film actually won the third place in the box office list of the week with a box office of 15 million US dollars in the first week.

After the time entered the second week, the box office of this film directly entered the big explosion stage.

In the second week, it slashed $25 million and topped the box office list that week.

With the explosion of the movie box office, Andy Lau quickly became famous in Hollywood, and various invitations to events were overwhelming.

Even, because this film portrays a lot of protagonists, it is a complete one-man show with a big male protagonist.

This made Andy Lau's influence in the Hollywood film and television industry once surpassed Chen Qiming.

There's no way around it.

Chen Qiming is in the Hollywood film and television circle, and the most famous movie is "The Disaster of the Python".

Although Chen Qiming is the leading actor in this movie.

But when it comes to brilliance, he is definitely not as good as Monty Python.

He's a second-in-one protagonist at best.

Like Chen Qiming, there is also Liming, although he starred in "The Grim Reaper" also won a good box office in North America.

But the style of this film is destined to have too many outstanding places for him.

And "Lone Agent", this is a complete male lead movie.

The first male protagonist is Andy Lau.

And this character is full of the heroism that America admires.

In contrast, even if "Lone Agent" may not be as popular as "Python Disaster", Andy Lau is obviously better in terms of actor influence.

The big hit of "Lone Agent" kept John Woo and Andy Lau busy.

Be on this TV show today, and be invited to the premiere of the movie tomorrow.

The two of them were busy with pain and happiness.

And when they were busy, Chen Qiming was not idle here.

In December, he attended several more music awards.

Golden Melody Award for Treasure Island.

This year's Chen Qiming once again won the Best Male Singer.

This is the fifth time he's won this award, and it's still a back-to-back one.

While Chen Qiming, who made history, was reported by the media, he also received hints from the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards.

He won't win the prize next year.

Yes, the organizers of the Golden Melody Awards directly stated that they would not award the award to him again next year.

As for the reason......

It's funny to say.

Because Chen Qiming's achievements in the past few years have been too dazzling, after winning the Golden Melody Award for Best Male Singer several times in a row, all the other singers have been autistic.

This year, several singers refused to attend the Golden Melody Awards.

It's normal to think about it, every year to run with him, and all the awards were taken away by Chen Qiming, so instead of being a foil, it is better not to go directly.

In addition, there are many singers who do not attend the awards.

Even the media didn't pay much attention to this award.

The best male singer every year is Chen Qiming, and everyone already knows it before the awards start.

There is nothing new in the news reported by the media, and the audience does not buy it.

Newspapers don't sell, so naturally, the media doesn't pay attention to the award.

Therefore, in order to revive the majesty of the Golden Melody Awards, in order to pay attention, the Golden Melody Awards have decided to do a big vote.

They plan that no matter how awesome Chen Qiming is next year, they will not award the award to Chen Qiming.

Although this will make the Golden Melody Award questioned, it has attracted a lot of attention!

Don't think that awards don't pay attention.

Looking at the past and the future, it is never the winner of the award.

For the sake of attention, award organizers often award awards to others at the cost of being saddled with fame in order to attract attention.

In addition to the Treasure Island Golden Melody Awards, Chen Qiming also attended music awards in several other European countries and received several heavyweight awards that were not bad.

For example, at the European MTV Music Awards, Chen Qiming's baby won the Best MTV Music Award.

Then there was the BBC Music Awards in the UK, and Chen Qiming won the Best International Artist Award.

After running a full lap of the map, the time came in January 1997, and 1996 officially became a thing of the past.

For Chen Qiming, 1996 was undoubtedly another very successful year.

This year he released two albums, one in Chinese and one in English.

The sales of both albums have become records that are difficult for ordinary people to break.

The success of these two albums has also made Chen Qiming really stand at the top of the industry.

Especially in the Chinese entertainment industry, when it comes to singers, Chen Qiming has become an indelible existence.

Just like when everyone talks about music, the development of Chinese music is inseparable from Teresa Teng.

In the field of pop music, Chen Qiming has undoubtedly become a milestone.

In 1996, a lot of newcomers popped up.

Tao Zhe, Jay Chou, and Ren Xianqi, a half-new guy (Ren Xianqi had already released a record as early as 1993, but it was not popular until 1996).

Of course, there is also Zhang Huimei, who has recently become popular in the Chinese music scene.

The female singer, who was too fat in the future to be recognized by ordinary fans, released her first record in December.

This record was created by Zhang Yusheng himself.

Zhang Yusheng is worthy of being a top creator and producer in the Chinese music scene.

As soon as this record was released, it became popular all over the country, and sold 3 million copies in just one month (the protagonist appeared, so history changed, if the future record sales are not right, please don't go into details).

With sales of three million, Zhang Huimei surpassed Jay Chou and Ren Xianqi in one fell swoop and became a super newcomer this year.

Zhang Huimei became famous in a fight, and Rolling Stone Records even shouted the title of the first female singer in the Chinese music scene for this.

Faye Wong: "I also shouted like this, and I was taught a lesson!" ”

The newcomers who have emerged one after another have made the media say that the Chinese music scene is about to usher in a new peak.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Chen Qiming.

In 1996, in addition to his achievements in the music industry, his achievements in film and television declined significantly.

He acted in a "Fengyun 2" this year.

But in terms of investment, he did a good job.

A number of successive film investments have been successful.

Especially after the success of "Lone Agent", which has just won $67 million in the United States, Chen Qiming has become a favorite in the Chinese film and television industry.

Many actors hope to hook up with him and become the next Andy Lau.

Even Chow Yun-fat, the guy who publicly bombarded Chen Qiming, came to the door in person, apologized for what happened last time, and asked Chen Qiming if there was a play suitable for him.

In this regard, Chen Qiming only has one sentence, "I want to eat fart!" ”

He is now disgusted with Chow Yun-fat to the extreme.

Without directly suppressing him, he had already given face.

This guy actually dared to come to the door to recommend himself, and he didn't even want to have a face.

In addition to film and television investment, Chen Qiming in 1996 also had good results in other businesses.

His Peacebird clothing brand officially entered the sports industry in this year.

Sneakers were also out.

It not only reached cooperation with the China Table Tennis Association, but also signed a contract with the CBA, which had just been established for two years, and became a CBA sneaker supplier.

In addition to the CBA, Chen Qiming is also about to enter the United States, and is in contact with NBA stars in the hope of entering the United States.

In addition, Chen Qiming relied on the dream memory of the future, and won a lot of shares in companies that will be successful in the future in this year.

For example, Apple.

1996 was definitely Apple's most difficult year, Apple's stock fell to rock bottom in the year, and it owed more than a billion foreign debts.

Chen Qiming took this opportunity to win a lot of shares, accounting for about 2% of the total.

And, of course, Thai baht.

However, compared to Soros's sniping, Chen Qiming did not invest much money here.

The main thing is the question of impact.

At the beginning, Chen Qiming wanted to use this incident to make more money.

Thinking about it later, I still forget it.

I still have a lot of fans in Thailand.

If this kind of thing is exposed in the future, he will be more or less labeled as bloodsucking.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Chen Qiming returned part of the Thai baht he lent in his hand, leaving about 20 million US dollars in his hand.

Seeing that the time was approaching the Chinese New Year, Chen Qiming did not continue to take over work, but returned to Treasure Island.

Playing golf every day, accompanying my mother, and by the way, when I have nothing to do, I find Li Jiaxin and Zhou Huimin to unlock some new postures, and my small life is called a comfortable life.

"Stephen Chow's "God of Food" has a good box office trend!

Amin, you're going to make a lot of money again! ”

At a golf course in Taipei, Chen Qiming and several bosses in Taipei's film and television industry are playing golf.

It's no one else who speaks.

It is Wang Yingxiang who bought Stephen Chow's "Jigong" and pulled other filmmakers to force the palace to the Hong Kong film and television industry after the box office failure of Baodao.

Since this guy lost a fortune on Stephen Chow's movies, he has never touched Hong Kong movies again.

No, Treasure Island also lifted restrictions on Hollywood movies in 1994.

Subsequently, he has been buying the rights to Hollywood movies to be screened on Treasure Island.

However, although Hong Kong films are no longer screened, after all, it is this industry, and he still pays attention to the popular movies of Hong Kong films.

"What, Boss Wang is interested in this movie?"

Chen Qiming hit a shot, and the white ball flew out of bounds and went out of bounds.

Chen Qiming didn't care whether the ball went in or not, and looked at Wang Yingxiang with a smile.

"I'm not interested, Stephen Chow is a pit of goods!"

"Haha, I think you were bitten by a snake for ten years and were afraid of the well rope."

Li Dengkui next to him laughed, and then looked at Chen Qiming, "Amin, you should have an investment in this film!" If it's released in your theater again, you should be able to decide on the copyright.

Why don't you sell it to me! You know my strength, let's work together to ensure that the movie will sell well on Treasure Island! ”

Chen Qiming shook his head and said with a smile: "Then you are mistaken, Boss Cai also has investment in this film, and when he invested, he said that the release rights of Baodao would be handed over to him."

You might as well ask him if he's willing to let go! ”

Boss Cai, Boss Cai Songlin of the Treasure Island Film and Television Circle.

This name is known to everyone in the treasure island and even in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

It is no exaggeration to say that this guy has indirectly and directly promoted the development of Chinese films.

Brother Xiang is awesome enough in Hong Kong!

But the real situation is that Cai Songlin is the driving force behind them.

Without Choi Chung Lam, Yongsheng would not have become Hong Kong's premier company.

In addition to the driving force behind the Xiang brothers, the major shareholder of Yongsheng.

He is also Wong Kar-wai's boss, Andy Lau's benefactor, and Stephen Chow's investor, without him, there would be no "Journey to the West", "In the Mood for Love", "East Poison and West Evil", "Farewell My Concubine" and thousands of excellent Chinese movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Wong Kar-wai can become the No. 1 literary director in the Chinese film industry, he has played a big role in it, and almost all of Wong Kar-wai's films are invested by him.

In addition, the reason why Andy Lau was able to set up the Tianmu Company in the first place was also because he helped, "The Legend of the God of War" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were all produced by him, but unfortunately, the Tianmu Film Company eventually became a failed company.

Also, Stephen Chow was able to leave Yongsheng without being pursued by Yongsheng, also because he was standing behind.

Stephen Chow's first film company, Playmate, was created with him.

And his own film company, the Scholar Film Company, is even more famous.

Since the mid-eighties.

Among Hong Kong films, except for the films wholly owned by Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and New Arts City, almost most of the other films have been invested in scholar films.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this film company is the invisible giant among Hong Kong film companies.

In the past two years, Chen Qiming's Qiming Film and Television has become bigger and bigger, and naturally, it is indispensable to cooperate with scholars.

Because Chen Qiming has never obtained the right to distribute films in Baodao.

Therefore, so far, all the films released in Pacific Cinemas have been released and distributed on Treasure Island by Scholar Films.

"That's it! That's still forget it, Boss Cai's food can't be spit out. ”

Yang Dengkui said with a smile.

Cai Songlin can have so many industries in the film industry, so he naturally has a lot of ability.

He still has a very strong background in Treasure Island, and there are people in both black and white.

Although Yang Dengkui is one of the eight major film companies on Treasure Island, he does not dare to provoke him easily.

"Actually, we invited Ah Ming to come over today because we wanted to talk to you about "Lone Agent".

You shot this film with a Hollywood company, and the copyright should not be in the hands of Boss Cai.

As long as you are willing to sell, the price problem, you can quote as you like! ”

Compared to "Lone Agent", when it was first released in North America, no one cared about it.

On the Asian side, because Andy Lau himself is the king of the Chinese entertainment industry, his popularity is bursting, and this film has received a very high box office in North America, and the filmmakers on Treasure Island are very enthusiastic about this film.

No, Chen Qiming had only been resting at home for a few days before he was asked out by these people.

"How much are you bidding?"

Chen Qiming asked quietly.

He had a plan for "Lone Agent".

Recently, he is actively applying for the film distribution permission here on the treasure island.

If he can get the permission, he is very hopeful to use "Lone Agent" to make a sign.

"30 million Taiwan dollars, what do you think?" Wang Yingxiang and Yang Dengkui glanced at each other and spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Two bosses, I don't think you have any sincerity!"

This is a movie that is expected to break $100 million in North America, and you want to buy the copyright for 30 million Taiwan dollars, you are taking me for a fool! ”

"Ah Ming, this price is not low, I have understood, Wu Dun offered you a price, and he only gave 20 million.

We have paid 30 million, which is already a lot more.

Besides, you're going to have to give us some room to earn!

I don't want to encounter Jigong again! Wang Yingxiang said.

"Impossible, 30 million don't have to talk about it."

Chen Qiming directly refused.

"And how much are you absolutely suitable?" Yang Dengkui asked.

"Sixty million Taiwan dollars! That's my bottom line! ”

"! You're a lion with his mouth wide open, 60 million, I'd rather buy a few more Hollywood blockbusters! ”

"I'm a Hollywood blockbuster, certified by Hollywood!" Chen Qiming spread his hands.

Should I say it or not, the movie will be released in Hollywood first, and then it will be released back, and there are really many benefits.

At the very least, Hollywood production can make the copyright fee of the film more than a notch.

It doesn't matter if it's a good movie, it's a Hollywood blockbuster when it comes back from Hollywood anyway.

"Lone Agent" didn't even say it.
