Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the eyes of others, the box office in the mainland market is 350 million yuan and the global box office is 100 million US dollars. Such achievements are already considered to be formidable.  ¡ê¡ØEspecially in the eyes of many Hong Kong filmmakers, this achievement almost makes them kneel down and worship. You know, "Infernal Affairs" was previously known as the Hong Kong film's rescue masterpiece, and the combined box office of the three films was not as good as "Yangtze River"  "No. 7" at the mainland box office. Unknowingly, the banner of rescuing Hong Kong movies was actually carried entirely by Zhou Xingxing alone.  But this is what makes everyone feel distressed. Zhou Xingxing's obsessive-compulsive disorder is too serious. In the past, when he was still an actor, that was all. The director set the tone and he only had to perform. Even if he digs into the characters deeply,  How about bringing out your own style? At least the shooting progress won't be so outrageous.  Now that he has changed his job to become a director, the progress of filming is extremely slow, and he is very picky about the selection of people. Not to mention that every one of his movies has the box office of "Yangtze River No. 7", and all of them have the box office of "Kung Fu".  There are not many people in Hong Kong who can board his boat, but not many who can eat from him.  What makes other bosses even more unbearable is his desire for control. When it comes to filming movies, he now has the final say in everything as a director. This makes other bosses who want to praise their actors and actresses feel unable to cooperate with him at all.  So in name, Zhou Xingxing is still a Hong Kong actor and Hong Kong director, but in fact, he is working with capital from outside Hong Kong, which further aggravates the dissatisfaction of local capital in Hong Kong with him.  So, when "Yangtze River No. 7" was celebrating its record-breaking box office, some negative rumors began to spread on a large scale online and in the industry. Mainland China's entertainment industry also joined the event with extreme excitement.  A person who claims to be Lu Xun in the entertainment industry began to expose Zhou Xingxing's debauchery and immorality, including the fact that the heroine of "Kung Fu" was cheated on by Zhou Xingxing on the night of the casting.  Mitsumi Fukuda's original prediction unfortunately came true.  If it's just throwing dirty water, it's not enough. Really capable people have already taken action quietly. The star girls of "Kung Fu" all announced in public that they wanted to terminate their contracts. Zhou Xingxing actually did it after reading the entertainment newspaper.  When he knew the news, he thought it was a reporter who wrote it at first.  But he soon learned otherwise.  Not only that, this star girl also started a lawsuit with Zhou Xingxing's Xinghui Company. All in all, she was determined to terminate the contract.  As an entertainment company, Xinghui initially wanted to use its company's influence to not only ban the female star itself, but also to join forces with the entire industry to ban the female star. However, they soon realized that something was wrong. This woman was not just someone they wanted.  Be free.  But there is someone behind him, and he is a big shot.  Soon some heavyweights in the industry came to criticize Zhou Xingxing himself, hoping that both parties would take a step back.  The future development focus of both Xinghui and Zhou Xingxing is the mainland. Under such circumstances, Xinghui and the female star reached a reconciliation, and the two parties reached a "peaceful and friendly" agreement to terminate the contract.  But this is like opening a Pandora's box for Zhou Xingxing's stars, especially the stars he has brought out in recent years.  They were poached or changed jobs one after another, and some of them were separated and separated.  Some of them revealed the dark history of Xinghui Company when they left.  Xingye remained silent and did not respond as always, but judging from the attitude conveyed by Mitsumi Fukuda, Xinghui has strengthened its contact with ATV and Kasuga's Hong Kong office, which fully sent a signal.  Soon, Shen Zhenghui received a clearer signal.  Zhou Xingxing himself went to the Grassland Autonomous Region and the crew of "The Magic Apprentice" came to visit and study.  In fact, Shen Zhenghui¡¯s filming progress has come to an end at this time.  Sony and Columbia are busy promoting the release of the second part of "The Magic Apprentice" at this time. Shen Zhenghui's crew will be temporarily on vacation to allow the actors to cooperate with the publicity plan of the promoter.  And Shen Zhenghui himself will also have a rare Spring Festival.  Continue to face the mental attacks of "why aren't you married yet" from your parents and relatives.  Zhou Xingxing himself is very interested in the shooting scene and the shooting itself, probably because of his knowledge structure and growth background.  Zhou Xingxing himself thinks that he is not qualified to shoot such historically expressive films, but he is really interested in new technologies and new themes in films.  Under the leadership of Shen Zhenghui and Miyamoto, he visited the city in the clouds built on the grassland, and heard an introduction about how the city would serve as a local tourism resource and how it would build supporting projects. It was obvious that  , he is very interested in this topic.  Then he also watched the filming scene of the movie, and was very surprised to see the whole process of Mario transforming into a woman through makeup.  "I thought this was done in post-production." He said, and even ventured closer to observe Mario's makeup. "I have to admit that he is equally good as a female. How did you find this actor?" Zhou Xingxing asked  road.  "Yes, ?"He is Thai," Shen Zhenghui replied. "A Thai actor who worked with us recommended him. I have to say that he is very discerning. Moreover," he patted Miyamoto on the shoulder, "Miyamoto  The director was also very proactive and immediately went to Thailand to investigate, and then we had our leading actor.  " Zhou Xingxing praised, "Director Miyamoto is very good at what he does.  " "Yes, so I also hope that he can independently direct such a production as soon as possible.  Shen Zhenghui also expressed his expectations for Miyamoto, "In fact, I have always hoped that the "fate" series can also be made into a movie. Miyamoto, this is the goal of your efforts.  " Miyamoto looked very excited, "Hey, I will work hard.  " "Relax," Shen Zhenghui patted him on the shoulder again, "Actually, today's filming is over, and our actors have already begun their vacation. After they go home to rest, they will go to various places around the world to attend local premiere ceremonies.  .  " "Aren't you going?  " Zhou Xingxing asked. "Although I have a good reputation, I am just a director.  "Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "My two assistant directors will perform this job. They are Americans. The reason why I went to the United States for the first time was because I really cared about the box office.  He curled his lips, "Of course, now I also care about the box office, so I want to go to Pingjing."  " Seeing Zhou Xingxing was a little puzzled. Shen Zhenghui explained, "China Film is responsible for the distribution work in China. This time it is a rare simultaneous global release. I don't know how they publicize it.  " "This is the effect of the last $690 million.  "Miyamoto said, "The total box office revenue in 2006 is said to be about 2.6 billion yuan, and one of your films is twice this figure.  " "Compared with four years ago.  This data has increased almost three times," Shen Zhenghui replied, "We must pay attention to the potential of the market. Miyamoto, I have to say that this is a major shortcoming of yours. Sometimes your vision is still too narrow. Apart from the United States, it is Japan.  .  ¡± ¡°And Europe.  "Miyamoto added in a low voice. "There are too many European countries, and distribution is too laborious.  "Shen Zhenghui said. "Now, you are in a big market where the market has tripled in four years. What do you think you should pay attention to?  "    "Feel sorry.  "Miyamoto lowered his head and bowed. "It doesn't matter," Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "In four years, when this market will triple again, I believe you won't ignore it.  " "It means that by 2010, the annual box office can increase to 8 billion yuan?  " Zhou Xingxing on the side was thoughtful. "Maybe 10 billion yuan.  "Shen Zhenghui said, "Who knows.  Looking back at that time, maybe the box office of "Yangtze River No. 7" will not matter. How come there are more than ten movies in a year that have the same box office as "Yangtze River No. 7"!  " Zhou Xingxing raised his eyebrows, "This in itself is nothing.  " "Too humble. There are not many people in China who can reach your level!  Shen Zhenghui said, "Look at how much effort it took for the three major directors to achieve this result."  " "Director Zhang's new film has just been released.  Zhou Xingxing shook his head, "With Taiwan's Little King and Mainland China's Best Actress, the Hong Kong Best Actor will not be bad at the box office."  " Shen Zhenghui knows which film Zhou Xingxing is talking about. "A City Full of Busty Girls" has given full play to Director Zhang's photography talent. No, every one of his films has given full play to his photography talent, including long shots.  The experimental film "No One Left Behind" is no exception. Not prepared to discuss this topic, Shen Zhenghui continued to ask, "I heard that Director Feng wants to cooperate with you?"  " Zhou Xingxing laughed, "Are you talking about shooting an advertisement?  " "Are you just cooperating on commercials?  " "Yes, his next film is said to be a war film," Zhou Xingxing spread his hands, "I can't act in it.  "Director Chen is still dormant, needless to say. For a while, after talking about the filming of "The Magic Apprentice", everyone really couldn't find a suitable topic. After coughing, Zhou Xingxing took the initiative to break the silence, "I  I want to film "Kung Fu 2".  " Shen Zhenghui raised his eyebrows. Is this the rhythm of asking for cooperation? The heroine of "Kung Fu" has just left, and Master Xing is filming "Kung Fu 2". This shows that he is also holding a breath in his heart? "Is the script ready?  "He asked. Zhou Xingxing was a little embarrassed, "I'm still writing, but I think the preparations can be done first.  " You have done your preparations so early. Shen Zhenghui is a little speechless. He is not a movie fan, but as a boss, he really can't like Zhou Xingxing. It took more than a year to prepare for "Kung Fu" and another year for "Yangtze River No. 7"  If it wasn¡¯t a good box office, who would have the patience to play like this? ¡°I support this in principle.  "Shen Zhengyi? said, "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to distract myself from things other than "Magic Apprentice" for a long time in the future. If we want to cooperate, I'd better ask Xinghui and Haruhi to talk. What do you think?" Zhou Xingxing sipped.  He pursed his lips and suddenly mentioned, "I heard that you have a company in Hong Kong? Or else, it would be good to cooperate with ATV." Seeing Shen Zhenghui narrow his eyes, Zhou Xingxing explained, "In this case, the movie can be made  "The co-production format is more convenient for distribution in the mainland," he said. "I think the main focus is the mainland market." "But the global box office of "Kung Fu 1" is US$350 million." Shen Zhenghui feels a little incomprehensible.  , "Distribution should still focus on foreign countries, right?" "I don't really want to cooperate with Colombia," Zhou Xingxing shook his head, and then he added, "At least not in the way they want." "Don't worry,  This can be discussed," Shen Zhenghui said, "I think you should still ask Fukuda Mitsumi for this matter." Seeing Zhou Xingxing frowning, Shen Zhenghui explained, "My company has shares in ATV and Fukuda Mitsumi, if you want to invest.  , the channel can think of another way." Now it's hard for Zhou Xingxing to refuse, after all, Japan is now also a big vote bank for him.  "But I think we can continue to talk with Colombia. Foreigners are shameless as long as they can make money," Shen Zhenghui said, but after looking at the Japanese and other foreigners surrounding him, he had to add,  "Of course, the same goes for the Chinese. If we can't reach an agreement with Colombia, we can talk to Sony or other companies. I think if Kasuga comes forward, these companies will give face." For the sake of "Magic Apprentice".  Zhou Xingxing seemed to be convinced. He hesitated and walked to a remote place with Shen Zhenghui. "This time the actual budget is eight thousand US dollars," he said, "including my salary and director's fee." This cost.  , if it is only shown in the mainland, it is impossible to make back the money. Even if it is shown in the entire Asia, it will be very dangerous. You actually want to kick Colombia away?  Shen Zhenghui rubbed his temples, "You'd better talk to Fukuda Mitsumi directly," he said, "I really don't have the energy other than "Magic Apprentice"." Zhou Xingxing then swallowed a lot of words in his mouth, including  For this filming, actors from Queens could be used. He actually had a candidate in mind for a long time. He had a good impression of the girls who worked with him on "The Green Hornet", especially those who can speak Chinese and Cantonese.  He originally wanted to replace the female star who broke the contract with Tomoaki Aonuma as the heroine.  But Shen Zhenghui's attitude made him swallow a lot of words in his stomach and prepare to turn around and talk to Fukuda Mitsumi.  Things progressed very quickly. When Shen Zhenghui returned to Japan and began to review the special effects production progress of the third film, Fukuda Mitsumi had already brought the good news that he had reached an agreement with Zhou Xingxing in Hong Kong.  Her tone was slightly sarcastic, "The production cost of 80 million US dollars, one-quarter is his actor's salary, and one-quarter is his director's salary. Although he won't get any dividends this time, I think it's not as good as him."  "Get dividends." "Can you tolerate him using his salary to offset one-half of his investment?" Shen Zhenghui asked, "Based on the results of the first film, after deducting the distribution expenses, I will give him 100 million."  I would rather give him 100 million," Mitsumi Fukuda replied. "Columbia will never admit that he can offset half of the production costs. The crew and producers must be their people, and they will definitely manipulate the publicity and distribution costs, so in the end he must  "I can't get 100 million." "So?" "I gave him a package price of 30 million. If the box office is a big hit, I will give him a red envelope." Mitsumi Fukuda took a deep breath, "We will give him a red envelope."  We have discussed how much it costs, and I understand the difficulty of dealing with such people. I think those companies in Hollywood must have the same mood as me when facing Cameron. " "So the production cost reached 70 million?  ?" "Yes, this time Sony is publishing it," Mitsumi Fukuda took a deep breath, "They generously gave a discount on the distribution fee, but this was for the sake of "Magic Apprentice"  , and the favorable condition that Zhou Xingxing promised us is to let your Aonuma Tomaki be the heroine." "Huh?" "I hope you won't have a green head when the time comes." "Of course, this is him.  The promised main roles and supporting roles can also use our people, but to be honest, I think on the one hand, he probably feels that it is not cost-effective to train people, and on the other hand, our actors are really cheap.¡±  Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
