According to Wo's "Eagle Plane" and Dream Factory's "The Deer and the Cauldron", both of which are the best films in Hong Kong this year. () was of higher quality than the New Year films, and received rave reviews from fans. It just so happened that everyone discovered that these two films were actually written by Mak Seng-hsiung, and everyone began to be confused. Why did Mak Cheng-hsiung's own script actually get into trouble?
"Eagle for Profit" is Golden Harvest's first large-scale commercial film exhibition. They have already started to develop commercial films a few years ago. It's just that the Hong Kong film market was still a bit sluggish at that time, and the effect was not very good. But now it is different from the past. This film has been released for one month, and the box office has already exceeded 10,000 US dollars. The production cost has been repaid in Hong Kong alone, and this This film also combines international elements, and its market is broader. Jiahe really made money this time.
Since childhood, the hearts of Hong Kong people have been covered with a layer of gloom. Everyone is confused about the future of Hong Kong. It is precisely at this time. Many businesses are also spreading rumors, which has brought great panic to everyone. At this time, a comedy movie is very popular in life. "The Deer and the Cauldron" was born at the right time, and Zhou Xingchi has become another famous actor in Hong Kong. Box office superstar, at this time in the Hong Kong film market, there was already a saying of "100% on every two weeks." There is another saying: 100% on every two weeks. After all, Li Lianjie's box office has been here over the years, but whether it is three people or four people, DreamWorks is the biggest winner, so no one cares much about this statement. At this time, several other companies are vigorously exploring the company's box office stars, and hope to have their own pillars like DreamWorks.
"Third brother. Our new film has been completed. Should it be screened in the next two days?" Ah Yao couldn't help but ask when he saw that Hong Jinbao had not made any move.
Hong Jinbao is a little depressed. Now is obviously not the best time to show it. Movies from Golden Harvest and DreamWorks are the most popular at the box office, and the two companies have also put in a lot of effort. No one is willing to give in. Likewise, the Yuejin Princess Cinema and Debao Cinema are being oppressed by them without anyone noticing. Movie fans have almost forgotten about the two theaters, even if new movies are released one after another. Attendance remains pitifully low. Golden Harvest and DreamWorks are in the spotlight right now. No one can steal their spotlight. As long as the new films are postponed and released, and their new films have been screened for a month, it will probably be released soon. That will be the best time for them to regain the box office.
Although "Zombie Family" is not a sequel to "Mr. Zombie". But in this film, Hong Jinbao also introduced his junior brother, Yuan Ju. This Yuan Ju has made his debut long ago and has also filmed many films. He has also worked as a martial arts instructor and is not new to the film industry. But he has never been popular. Compared with him and Cheng Long, he is still far behind. So this time Hong Jinbao wanted to use this film to package his junior brother. Although Debao Company has no shortage of actors, it has a box office There are very few stars, including Lin Zhengying. There were only a few people.
"Zombie Family" is also a film that they spent a lot of effort on. The newly acquired special effects production company also came in handy at this time. Compared with "Eagle Profit", there is still a big gap with the digital field. () But Hong Jinbao is not in a hurry, after all, they can start from scratch.
Of course Debao is not the only one who has this idea. New Art City's new film "Happy Ghost Collision" has also been produced. But seeing the momentum of the two companies, they also decided to postpone the screening and try not to confront them head-on. The "Happy Ghost" series is another of their signatures and is the key to their box office recovery battle, so they just have to swallow their anger first. That's good.
Shi Tian is still a little dissatisfied with Huang Baiming's approach. Because he believes that the films of the two companies have been screened for a month, and the box office appeal is already not as good as before. At this time, they should
Although this will definitely break DreamWorks¡¯ upcoming ¡°The Deer and the Cauldron¡± in terms of box office and attendance. It can make the people of Xinyi City very happy, but it will have a lot of impact on movie fans, which will have an impact on the fluctuation of the box office. After explaining. Huang Baiming was still a little worried and said: "Moreover, our new film this time also has Debao watching Xiaoxiao from the side. We are not the only ones who want to regain the box office. Their "Zombie Family" is also their signature series, and the meaning is obvious However, that¡¯s why our opponents this time should be them.
Bu Wenhuai is in a very good mood now. The box office of "Eagle Plane" has exceeded the box office. Wan Daguan, nothing could be easier than this. Jiahe also has a problem, that is, although they are both large companies, they do not have a signature series. So during the New Year film. They are always disrespectful, but this time "Eagle Project" has told him that even series films will not be more successful than commercial films. If you think about it carefully, there are two reasons for the success of "Eagle Plan": firstlyThis script is very good. Mak Cheng-hsiung is indeed the most successful commercial screenwriter. The script is one of the best in commercial films. The second point is the use of special effects. After he saw the special effects in this film, he was shocked. Especially in the fight scene with strong winds, these stunts are so magical. Confuse the real with the fake. It gives people a strong visual impact. At this time, several martial arts directors appeared in the Ruizuer era, making kung fu movies popular. In the 1990s, special effects must be an important factor in action movies and even kung fu movies, so he started to look for foreign stunt companies.
It can be said that Bu Wenhuai is a think tank in the Hong Kong film industry. Everyone may have forgotten him, but without him in the history of Hong Kong films, it would be a lot lighter. He has the greatest credit for Golden Harvest becoming a company competing with Shaw Brothers. He was also the first to move the Hollywood star system to Hong Kong. In particular, he also established a satellite system, which gave Golden Harvest a broader scope of development. space. He always takes one step and three steps before doing anything. He already had this idea when he acquired the rights to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and this film is now being produced on the studio of Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood. This time they are shooting a live-action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" that also requires technology. , he just hopes to use this opportunity to learn about foreign special effects companies. If possible, they would also acquire a company like Debao. Of course, they cannot develop directly in Hollywood like DreamWorks, a wealthy company. Their roots are still in Hong Kong.
This shooting. () Gao Wenhuai worked very hard. This time they spent more money on the filming, and also sent four martial arts masters and a crew to Hollywood, as well as his most admired confidants.
This time it turned out that he didn¡¯t lose weight. In fact, special effects technology in Hollywood was just a few years old, but the production was cumbersome and the cost was very high. They are the eight major Hollywood companies. Not all of them have their own special effects companies. Most of the films are not produced with advanced technology and are still shot with traditional industrial techniques. It's just that Mak Cheng-hsiung is very fond of special effects. That's why so many stunt films are shot to give Hong Kong film companies the illusion that Hollywood has a lot of stunt films.
Soon good news came back from Jiahe. Although this small stunt company that helped them produce the film has no plans to sell it, two stunt people have already thought about coming to Hong Kong to develop their films. This is what Gao Wenhuai is most worried about. The filming of "Shu Mountain" failed, and he lost confidence in special effects technology. If you look carefully, Jiahe was the first company to come into contact with the technology. We also know that the most important thing for a special effects company is talent. Once we have talents, other equipment will be easier to handle. After discussing the competition, the box office sales of "Eagle Plane" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" finally opened up. "The Deer and the Cauldron" became the first one in the box office list with a score of 10,000 yuan, and also set a new box office record for Lunar New Year movies. This is very difficult. At this time, Jiahe's "Eagle Plane" also ranked second in the box office list with a box office. This figure made everyone in Jiahe feel happy. You must know that the box office of the film jointly produced by Jiahe Company and Debao Company has not yet After passing the 10,000 mark, this is not the same level at all.
At this time, no one came out to object. Gao Wenhuai has cooperated with DreamWorks. After all, no one can have trouble with money. Even He Guanchang had no words for DreamWorks at this time. There is also a smile on his face, and the producer of this film is in his name. The film is so successful, and his face naturally shines.
So when the idea of ??establishing Jiahe Special Effects Company was raised this time, He Guanchang was the first to raise his hand and agreed. After the two main leaders of the company agreed, the project was considered established. Cheng Long stood up and agreed, and no one opposed them.
?The next thing that surprised everyone was that DreamWorks actually canceled the movie "The Deer and the Cauldron" which was still gaining momentum. This surprised everyone very much. Because if this movie had been screened for a longer period of time, it would have been possible to hit the box office record of Hong Kong movies. Why was DreamWorks so anxious to release this film?
The reason is that DreamWorks has no shortage of film sources now, and has produced a lot of them. Two new films from Hui's Company and Hong Kong Sound Company have been produced. Mak Sing-hsiung personally checked their new films after watching them. The effect was very good, so Mak Sung-hsiung still decided to take down the old film and release their new film.
Exactly at this time. The bottom painting of "The Deer and the Cauldron" seems to be one for New Art City and Debao Company. The signal was normal, they immediately took out their new film and waved their flags. War drums preach. Their battle to regain the box office also started at this time.
This time, before they even showed the new film, they started a large-scale campaign in Hong Kong, using the media to introduce their new film, and using their own signature movies as a guise to attract Hong Kong movie audiences. Thus. Movie fans cheered again. This summer vacation is?A big movie gathering, the summer vacation begins. DreamWorks and Golden Harvest have come up with their own new films. As it was about to end, New Art City and Debao also released their own new films to bring the summer vacation to a successful conclusion.
"Happy Ghost Collision" is the sequel to Huang Baiming's "Happy Ghost" series. The previous one was very popular. Moreover, this subject matter is also very novel, and it was quickly accepted by everyone. It became another profitable series after "The Best Partner". It immediately attracted the attention of movie fans as soon as it was released, and it was only released in Japan. The box office was very strong. Zaoyi had already released the struggling "Flying Eagle", and Golden Harvest also gave You this film that they were proud of. Because they wanted to capture the film "The Deer and the Cauldron" which was produced by Dream Factory, but it was difficult to get enough of it; it could only be screened for a month, which would not be worth the gain.
Debao's new film "Zombie Family" is also very popular. It is not much different from New Art City's new film. A new round of tug-of-war has begun at the box office. Both sides are at war with each other. This time, they are the only two competitors. , and neither DreamWorks nor Golden Harvest has any films of their own companies to join. So this time it's their world.
"Two days after the screening of "Zombie Family". The box office began to gradually increase, and the momentum surpassed that of New Art City's "Happy Ghost Collision". At this time, Hong Jinbao was very proud. At the press conference, Hong Jinbao even changed his low profile, thinking that this film will become this He was the chestnut room champion of the month, and he also promoted his own stunt company. There was no stunt company in Hong Kong, and their Debao company was considered the first one. The reporters immediately spread the news, thinking that Debao company was the outstanding company in Hong Kong. The film company almost didn't say Debao Company was the savior of Hong Kong movies.
At this time, the film company was naturally dissatisfied with them, and the first to be controversial was New Art City. After all, they are now hostile forces, and the relationship between Debao and Xinyi City is not as good as that between Debao and Jiahe, so the two sides have started a new round of war of words.
The most recent screening in the DreamWorks department is Hong Kong Sound Company's new film "Famous Catchers". Wen Ruisheng said that it was filmed by ATV and has a pretty good reputation, so this time their film has a large audience, so the box office Also very good. Although there is still a gap compared with the films of New Arts City and Debao, it is already their highest-grossing film.
This time, Hui's and Hong Kong Voice Company's new film was produced almost immediately. However, Mak Sing-hsiung let Hong Kong Voice Company's new film be screened first. After all, "The Deer and the Cauldron" had just been finished. This time, "The Originals" was produced. "Wei Xiaobao" comes, everyone will have visual fatigue and attendance will be affected.
The filming of "The Big Four" was quite satisfactory, and many of the actors were hired from ATV. It was obviously like a TV series, so the box office was not very low, but not high either. After half a month of screening, the box office reached At this time, the film box office of New Art City and Debao Company has exceeded the 15 million mark. It seems that there is still a gap.
Debao's new film is even more popular at this time. Both films are ghost farce films, but Debao's "Zombie Family" is much higher in quality than New Art City's "Happy Ghost Collision". Therefore, the box office is also more than one million higher. This time, as he said, Debao has already occupied the top spot at the box office this month.
And at this time, "Four Famous Catchers" was also finished. Although the final box office did not exceed 00,000, it was still very high. Hong Kong Sound Company once again broke their box office record. And it has also become the one with the highest box office so far among DreamWorks cooperating companies, which immediately made him proud.
The screening of "The Real Wei Xiaobao" has begun. And it was in the DreamWorks Cinemas. It immediately attracted cheers from movie fans as soon as it was released online. Even Mak Chengxiong himself didn't know this. Moreover, the attendance rate of the movie was actually full, and it suddenly took the limelight. Sheng's Xinyicheng and Debao companies were competing. At this time, not only the outside world, but also the people inside DreamWorks were very confused and didn't know what was going on
I8. A different experience in book booking!
And the limelight did not go away until the second day. There are also a lot of movie fans queuing up outside the cinema, and the reputation among fans after watching it is very good. The box office reached more than 10,000 yuan in just two days, which is better than New Art City's "Happy Ghost Collision" and Debao "Zombie Family" is much higher. The appearance of this dark horse is extremely confusing.
Mak Sing-hsiung is the most confused person because he has seen this film. Although the comedy effect is good, there are still many shortcomings. However, the lead actor they chose is Liang Wei, who has a good image and is also one of the former TVB Five. One, so there are many potential movie fans. Is it because they follow the trend? Is that why you achieve such good results? But this idea was quickly abandoned. Now he is the big boss of a company, naturally we know that this situation will never happen, and the results will be much better if we follow the trend, but it is simply unrealistic to produce such a high box office.
After Xu Shang heard the news, his eyes turned red. He had never dreamed that their film could achieve such success. Now that he suddenly achieved such success, Yunli was naturally In the fog. His feet felt soft when he walked, so he immediately came to DreamWorks to find Mak Cheng-hsiung.
The box office in three days exceeded RMB 60,000. This is the box office figure of Hong Kong¡¯s most outstanding movie called Wife. "The Deer and the Cauldron" and "Eagle Project" have just been completed. How far will this film go?
The fourth day. Xu's company's attendance rate also dropped, and the box office growth also slowed down. Wu Yusen suddenly walked in with a smile on his face, came to Mak Chengxiong's side, and then whispered to him quietly for a while.
Mai Chengxiong¡¯s expression changed very quickly. In the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said with some fun: "So, it turns out that I accidentally helped this Xu Shang.",
