- Refreshing and full of fighting spirit is the most appropriate way to describe Xu Ke at this moment. "Dao Ma Dan" sold very well in Taiwan, and its first-week sales even surpassed "Rivals 3" and reached an astonishing one thousand and three. One million NT dollars, once again breaking the local box office record in Taiwan
There are three reasons why the box office is so strong: first, the promotion theme is appropriate, and it is fully implemented in accordance with the keywords formulated by Zhou Wen; second, Lin Qingxia's popularity in Taiwan is overwhelming. Two months ago, she promoted "Taiwan Dance" in various places in Taiwan. Her popularity has reached an unprecedented peak. The third and most critical point is that Zhou's Pictures is the guarantee and Haoyu Pictures is the media. With the cooperation of last year's successful cases, Taiwan Cinema Line will directly direct the future "Dragon" movies. "Brothers and Tigers" and "Wealth and Power" were canceled and "Diao Ma Dan" was released in full. This move can be said to have completely cut off Jiahe Debao's income from other places.
Taiwan's box office success has continued, and Hong Kong is no exception. "Dao Ma Dan" was released as a combination of commercial films and literary films. Before the release, film critics such as Yi Xiujia Shi Qi published column reports, focusing on promoting the atmosphere of the war era, reflecting Xu's A gimmick that can use ancient metaphors to reflect the 97 deadlines
Xu Ke uneasily uncovered the scandal between Zhou Wen and Lin Qingxia, repackaged it for hype, and even threw out the gossip that the two had joined forces to create "Taiwan Dance". This effort deceived the audience. Golden Princess earned HK$7.86 million in its first week of theatrical release, which is a very good start.
During the New Year's greetings, Zhong Chuhong often complained about Xu Ke, who asked him to dig out the old almanac to promote the scandal. For this, Xu Ke not only lost 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but also handed over "Dao Ma Dan" under Hong Gu's threat. ¡·2% dividend, euphemistically called mental damage fee, to make up for the emotional loss caused by the scandal between her and Zhou Wen
There is no way, who can let Xu Ke be unkind? Let's hype it up. At least tell the person involved in advance. Zhou Wenzheng went to Honggu's house to pay New Year's greetings this morning. He was dealing with the old and young people of the Zhong family who suddenly asked about him and Lin Qingxia. The scandal caused the Zhong family to frown, extremely worried about Zhou Wen's character.
Zhong Chuhong had to spend a lot of time to explain clearly, otherwise her family would definitely beat them up. No wonder Honggu resented Xu Ke and forcefully snatched 2% of the local and foreign box office dividends.
"I finally figured out that these two guys came to rob our house!" Not only did he lose 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in just one morning, but he also gave away a lot of dividends. It's no wonder that Xu Ke didn't feel sad.
Shi Nansheng also sighed: "I told you to restrain yourself a long time ago. Even if Awen doesn't care about these trivial details, Honggu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She has to consider all aspects of the Zhou family. If you make money by using other people's husband's hype, she can't explain it without getting some kickbacks." , in the future, if we have to do this kind of thing in the front studio, we will have to rely on Zhou Wen¡¯s help.¡±
Xu Ke nodded in agreement. Shi Nansheng was absolutely right. Without Zhou Wen's help in planning this time, "Dao Ma Dan" would not have had such an amazing box office value. Some movies have good shooting quality and win industry reputations, but the box office flops. Street to death, the reason is that there is no appropriate promotional theme and selling point
Zhou Wenyan is concise and direct to the subject, and he has a good grasp of publicity and hype, which fully reflects his advanced ideas in commercial films. These aspects are what Xu Ke currently lacks. If the film studio wants to develop better, Zhou Wen's help is indispensable. It seems that in the future You have to be proactive!
After thinking of this, Xu Ke stood up with a solemn expression, put on his clothes and was about to go out.
"It's time to have lunch soon. What are you doing out there?" Shi Nansheng asked in confusion.
"I went to the studio to re-look at the special effects plan for "The Legend of Wesley". Awen helped me so much. I can't live up to his commission. I should complete the special effects as soon as possible so that he can go all out to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story"" Xu Ke said with a smile
Shi Nansheng said with some displeasure: "I said you can't take a break. We still have many friends we haven't visited yet!"
"You can just go and take care of it. Anyway, you have to deal with all these things. Haha, I'd better concentrate on making movies!" After Xu Ke finished speaking, he walked away, leaving Shi Nansheng with a depressed sigh.
Xu may devote himself to film research because he has Shi Nansheng as his wife, but Zhou Wen cannot have such leisure time. After all, he and Zhong Chuhong are not married yet. After leaving Xu Ke's house, he first sent Hong Gu home, Then he drove to visit Yuan Heping, Hong Jinbao and others. He would have to act alone at least before the eighth day of the first lunar month.
After a full day of work, Zhou Wen just ended his long New Year greeting trip. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when he returned home. Looking at the empty home, Zhou Wen thought about whether to spend the night at Zhou Ji's place to enjoy the rare time of family reunion.
As soon as Zhou Wen drove out, he saw a red car approaching and honking the horn at him.
"Huh?" Zhou Wen was happy because he saw Zhang Manyu getting out of the car and walking towards him with a smile.
"I said, you were not at home in the middle of the night and came to my place.""What to do"
Zhang Manyu stopped in front of the car, pursed her lips and said, "I always felt like there was something missing during the Spring Festival this year. After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I didn't send you a New Year greeting, so I started calling in the afternoon, but no one answered. I called your big brother again. No one listened, so I drove over and said Happy New Year and wish you good luck."
After Zhang Manyu finished speaking with a smile, she stretched out her jade hand, which made Zhou Wen wonder for a long time: "What do you mean?"
"Oh, why are you pretending to be confused? People are sincerely wishing you a happy New Year, so you have to be mean!"
Zhou Wen¡¯s head was full of black lines: ¡°Hazy, you seem to be a few years older than me, there is no reason to ask me for a red envelope!¡±
Zhang Manyu said matter-of-factly: "But you are the boss and I am a wage earner. What's more, I will be a contract artist of Zhou's contract in a short time. I'll pay you a red envelope in advance."
"I lost to you!" Zhou Wen smiled bitterly, took out a red envelope from the car and handed it over and said, "Have a prosperous New Year, and congratulations on getting rich. I wish you good luck this year and lots of film appointments!"
"Thank you, boss!" Zhang Manyu was delighted with the red envelope and said with a cunning look in her eyes: "I was joking with you just now, but I didn't expect you to actually give me the red envelope, haha."
Zhou Wen said with a helpless look on his face: "I came here in the middle of the night to ask for a red envelope, thank you for your imagination."
"I'm not here specifically to ask for red envelopes!" Zhang Manyu said: "I'm here to wish you a New Year's greetings sincerely. Now that "Dao Ma Dan" is doing so well at the box office, I took on "Autumn Fairy Tale" again. It's all thanks to you, no matter what, By the way, what are you doing out so late?¡±
"I'm going home." Zhou Wen pouted and said, "Aunt Hong is going back to her home for a reunion. I was planning to go to Zhouji, but who knew you were here to ask for a red envelope?"
"You are so pitiful," Zhang Manyu sympathized, "Do you want my sister to risk her life to accompany the gentleman?"
"Forget it, I'm really afraid of any scandal. You don't know that I'm at Hong Gu's place today" Zhou Wenda expressed his bitterness.
"Hahaha, it's so funny. Zhou Wen, who is not afraid of anything and everything, and made his fortune by relying on scandals, is actually afraid of scandals. This is the funniest joke I have heard this year." Zhang Manyu was trembling with joy after hearing this, which made Zhou Wen feel depressed.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore," Zhang Manyu restrained herself in time: "In addition to paying New Year greetings, I have something to tell you tonight."
"Huh?" Zhou Wen said, "What's the matter?"
"When I was paying New Year's greetings today, Chen Ziqiang came to talk to me about a new film. I guess it was Cheng Long who had some ideas after watching "Dao Ma Dan" and wanted to make a follow-up movie. I don't know the specific situation. It should be "Project A Sequel" or so. It will be similar to the style of "Dao Ma Dan" with three women in one drama. You have to be mentally prepared," Zhang Manyu said very seriously.
"Oh, thank you" Zhou Wen nodded. He did not expect that Cheng Long would follow the trend. Zhang Manyu could pass the news in time, which must be said to be her trust in him.
Zhang Manyu pursed her lips and said: "In addition, Chen Ziqiang conveyed Cheng Long's intention. He wants me to participate in one of the roles in "The Sequel to Plan A". I want to hear your opinion."
Zhou Wen looked at Zhang Manyu and asked, "Is my opinion important to you?"
"Well, it's very important!" Zhang Manyu nodded hard twice and said in a positive tone: "I didn't know how to refuse before. It was you who taught me how to refuse. Since then, I have understood a lot of things, but sometimes I can't control the general direction, so I need your guidance¡±
"What is your original intention, to accept or not to accept?" Zhou Wen did not give an answer, but guided her thoughts
"I used to have to listen to my agent's arrangements and had no choice. Now I don't want to hang out with him. Besides, there have been a lot of unpleasant things happening between me and Cheng Long, so from my heart, I don't want to take on this film. And you once said I have to constantly challenge myself, and I don¡¯t want to repeat successful images in films of the same type.¡±
Zhang Manyu spoke very slowly and seriously. She kept observing Zhou Wen's reaction while speaking, and felt a lot more relieved when she saw him nodding repeatedly.
In fact, she used this reason to reject Chen Ziqiang, and even rejected Cheng Long's indirect invitation. But she didn't know if there would be anything wrong with doing so, so she came to get Zhou Wen's opinion.
"Very good, you finally understand the importance of carefully selecting character images. Accepting more contracts does not necessarily mean that you are popular. Mass production will also cause the loss of popularity. Too many repeated characters will cause aesthetic fatigue. Continuous innovation and breakthrough is the way for actors to grow." Zhou Wen praised: "I have no objection to this, just go all out to shoot "Autumn Fairy Tale""
"Thank you!" Zhang Manyu bent down and bowed with special respect, which made Zhou Wen very embarrassed: "Ayu, what kind of plane are you planning? I won't be able to adapt to such a big gap."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou Wen, for your good teaching. I will do it again in the future."It's a lot of trouble for you, so you have to get used to it, haha." Zhang Manyu smiled tenderly. After the boredom in her heart, she returned to her previous relaxed state, teasing Zhou Wen and said: "By the way, I'll tell you whether you're hungry or not. You eat late night snacks¡±
"I said, are you okay? Tonight is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and there are no late-night snacks!" Zhou Wen rubbed his temples that were a little swollen and painful. Zhang Manyu's weirdness had exceeded his expectations, and he now began to have a headache about the future. Well, if this girl joins the Zhou family in the future, I don¡¯t know how she will make things difficult for me.
"Don't your family run a tea restaurant?" Zhang Manyu said
"Please, Zhou Ji closed down yesterday, and will be completely closed before the eighth day of the first lunar month." Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness. If nothing happens, go home early and don't let your family get in trouble."
"Okay, okay, I won't annoy you anymore." Zhang Manyu waved her little hand and said, "Bye~"
"Huh~ It's really terrible." Zhou Wen let out a long breath, locked the door, got into the car and went straight to Zhou Ji
¡¡¡¡
After a busy year, he rarely gets a few days off. Zhou Wen definitely needs to relax. However, his relaxation is not comparable to others. Instead, he is immersed in the fun of practicing boxing. He practices boxing every day to explore the secret method of entering the internal organs. When he is tired, he will ponder all aspects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the study. He even wakes Xu Ke up in the middle of the night and talks on the phone about computer special effects. Every day is so fulfilling and busy, and it is not a leisurely life.
However, the good times did not last long, and before the Lantern Festival was over, Xu Ke called me early in the morning to express his frustration. It turned out that "Dao Ma Dan" entered its third week of release, and the box office had steadily reached 16 million. Looking at it sprinting towards the 20 million mark in the last week, who would have expected that a dark horse would emerge, directly ending "Dao Ma Dan"'s success at the box office
If it were a movie from another company, Mr. Xu came up with a bad idea and made a comeback. The problem was that this movie was also produced by New Art City, and Zhou Wen was also one of the producers and investors!
After being reminded by Xu Ke, Zhou Wen finally remembered that he and Lam Lingdong produced "Dragon Tiger" starring Zhou Runfa, Li Xiuxian, Sun Yue and Wu Jiali, and it happened to be released in mid-February.
"The Legend of the Dragon" can be described as Zhou Runfa's another classic hero film after "A Better Tomorrow". In the film, Fa Ge plays an undercover agent who battles wits and courage with the drug dealer boss played by Li Xiuxian. In the end, the undercover life makes him accustomed to gangsters. In life, brotherly loyalty is increasingly reflected in him. The dilemma between a rock and a hard place is vividly interpreted by Fa Ge. Once the film was released, it exploded with astonishing power to attract money, which directly led to the lack of follow-up of "Dao Ma Dan"
I have to say that the influence of "Brother Ma" is so strong that even the three beauties are beyond his reach. No wonder Xu Ke complained on the phone so early in the morning
"Awen, I am lucky enough to lose to Jiahe Debao. The problem is that my brothers are killing each other on the box office charts. I"
"Okay, don't act like you're on the verge of death, okay? The money earned by "Dao Ma Dan" in Taiwan is enough to make up for the local box office. Besides, you didn't mention it when arranging the schedule. You can't let "Dragon" be released. Is the ticket for "Tiger Storm" delayed?" Zhou Wen comforted on the phone
After he comforted Xu Ke, his thoughts began to expand infinitely, because "Dragon Tiger Storm" is not a simple hero movie, to be precise, it is a police movie
As an important genre of Hong Kong movies, the origin of police and gangster movies can be seen from the first police and gangster movie "Stealing a Duck" a hundred years ago, which was also the first movie in Hong Kong. In addition, it has also reached the most important period of change in Hong Kong movies - The new wave has also seen the emergence of a number of police and gangster movies, such as Zhang Guoming's "The Soldiers", which directly addresses social reality, and with Mak Tang-hsiung's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow" and other pan-police movies. Gangster movies have contributed to the flames, and Lam Ling-tung's "The Dragon and the Tiger" pushed the police and gangster genre into the mainstream. After that, police and gangster movies became very popular.
"This is the prototype of the future "Infernal Affairs"" Zhou Wen sighed with emotion-
