Before Christmas in 1990 came, a movie was in a flash in the off-season, with a box office of 20.99 million in 38 consecutive days.
This box office data has surpassed many popular movies in the summer season, and it is simply a dark horse falling from the sky.
This off-season high-box movie is called "The Love of the War between the Ancient and Modern Warriors of Qin". DreamWorks is the largest investor and the theater chain is also Oriental Cinema.
In the original time and space, after Gan Guoliang and Yu Zheng jointly opened a film company, due to insufficient funds, they invested in Jiahe.
"The Terracotta Warriors of Qin" was eventually directed by Cheng Xiaodong, starring Zhang Yimou, Gong Li and Yu Guangrong, and Tsui Hark was only responsible for special effects.
Now, Tsui Hark's film studio has become one of the producers of this film "The Terracotta Warriors", and he is personally the producer of the film.
Anyone who knows Tsui Hark knows that this guy likes to point fingers on the set, and the original director Zhang Yimou is also a director with a strong style.
When the two of them collided together, they were like adding cold water to a frying pan, and they were immediately frying. They didn't have to wait until the film was turned on, and the video couldn't continue during the preparation stage.
There is no way, the movie ideas of Tsui Hark and Zhang Yimou are too different, and they can't pee in a pot at all.At the beginning, they refused to give in, but in the end they got upset, and both of them quit.
Gan Guoliang was stunned and finally had to find his friend Cheng Xiaodong to save the scene. Zhang Yimou, who quit the director, failed to become the male lead because the candidate for the male lead had long been confirmed as Zhang Fengyi.
In fact, when Zhang Yimou first got the script, he felt a little scared because he was not sure about making such a commercial film.
At first, Zhang Yimou wanted to listen to Tsui Hark's opinions more, but when he really cooperated, he realized that he could not communicate at all, and in the end he had to give up his position as director.
The popularity of "The Love of the War between the Qin Terracotta Warriors in Ancient and Modern Times" in Hong Kong is both surprising and reasonable.
What is surprising is that the male and female protagonists of this film are both mainland actors. Even if Gong Li has been a Flying Girl, she still has no box office appeal in Hong Kong; in a reasonable way, this film has a pure Hong Kong flavor in terms of rhythm and style, and Hong Kong audiences have no pressure to accept it, not to mention that the plot, special effects, action, art design, etc. are all excellent.
Gong Li has truly made her famous in Hong Kong, but the two men, Zhang Fengyi and Yu Guangrong, still have a low presence.
The so-called drama is popular but not popular. Although "The Love of the War between the Warriors of Qin in Ancient and Modern Times" sells well, it is not enough to make Zhang Fengyi famous in Hong Kong.
On the side of Jiahe, it was almost December that Jackie Chan came back with the crew of "Flying Eagle Project".
This movie, which was originally planned to be filmed with 30 million yuan, lasted for seven or eight months, and it took more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars to finish filming. Now the producer is still squatting in a cell in Morocco.
Christmas is definitely not available, and it's too late to go.Zou Wenhuai said after watching the pornographic film of "The Flying Eagle Project".
Generally speaking, Zou Wenhuai has to watch every movie in person before it is released.
However, it was only after the movie was completed later. This time, Zou Wenhuai seemed a little anxious. Before the soundtrack of "Flying Eagle Plan" was completed, Boss Zou was anxious to see the cut porn.
There is no way. There are too many variables during the filming of the "Flying Eagle Plan" and more than 100 million yuan of Jiahe's funds have been invested. Boss Zou must listen to it.
He Guanchang said: Putting "Flying Eagle Plan" to be released during the Spring Festival is just right to avoid Kang Jianfei's film.
Zou Wenhuai suddenly smiled and said: Guanchang, do you think Kang Jianfei’s new film promotional situation is not big?
The promotional momentum of this "Trump World" is not as big as "Grave Robbers".
He Guanchang knew the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and he understood it. You mean, Kang Jianfei himself was not so optimistic about the box office of "The World of Truman"?
Zou Wenhuai nodded and said: I heard that "The World of Truman" is an art film.
He Guanchang said in surprise: Isn’t it a comedy that has been promoted?
If it is a pure comedy, isn’t it good to find Stephen Chow to be the male lead?Why do you need to let Tony Leung play?
Zou Wenhuai guessed, I'm sure Kang Jianfei was playing art again this time, and I don't know what he would take.
He Guanchang smiled and said: If it is really an art film, it will make people look forward to it. I heard that the budget for that drama is 65 million.Tsk, Kang Jianfei is really brave enough to invest tens of millions of dollars in a literary film.
He Guanchang pondered: With Kang Jianfei's box office appeal, what he made was not to mention a literary film, even a piece of shit could still make a profit.If the film is filmed too badly, it will at most affect his reputation and he will still make money as much as he should.
The four words "wealthy" are not suitable for Kang Jianfei, because with this guy's personality, he is still willful when he has no money.
"The World of Truman" is indeed not as well promoted before the release of "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles", but compared with other films of the same period, it is still very aggressive.
Even if Kang Jianfei doesn't spend money on publicity, the reporters will come to interview and report automatically when they hear that director Kang Da's new drama is about to be released.
The new drama premiere is about to be held, but Kang Jianfei is still leisurely writing serial novels at home, and by the way, he writes songs for SHE, which has not yet been written in a single stroke of the eight characters.
At this time, he was flipping through the newspaper randomly and sighing to Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting not far away reading a magazine: Alas, why don’t this Hong Kong newspaper report about me?I was photographed by a reporter when I went out with Jiahui yesterday, but today I actually gave half a page of a gossip magazine, which is too unfair to take me seriously.
Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but smile and said: You are so embarrassed to say that you have been having scandals every few years. The audience has not gotten tired of watching it, and those newspaper editors are so tired of reviewing the manuscripts.
It’s also Ah. Reporting my scandals won’t increase sales a few times, unless there is a new scandal heroine. Kang Jianfei looked at the photos of Jackie Chan and Cheng Yuling in the newspaper and said to himself, “Azhi, do you think they are really dating Ah?
Who knows, Zhao Yazhi asked curiously, why do you suddenly care about gossip news?
I have nothing to do, just look at the newspaper and sigh.Kang Jianfei explained casually.
Although the "Flying Eagle Plan" will not be released until the Spring Festival, the publicity has begun. The first thing that was released was the scandal between Jackie Chan and Cheng Yuling.
However, anyone who knows them knows that Jackie Chan and Cheng Yuling are absolutely impossible to be together. Their personalities are too different, and the scandals in the newspaper are definitely hype.
Cheng Yuling's evaluation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very polarized. People who appreciate her think she is self-reliant and upholds principles, while people who hate her think she is petty and greedy for money.
This is a woman who dares to ask for money from the underworld, and when the entire crew cannot get the money, his agent is threatened and has no background behind him, she dares to bite the bullet and asks for money from the underworld.
In the end, Cheng Yuling really got it. When she filmed, she got the salary alone in the entire crew.
Judging from this incident, Cheng Yuling is a brave woman, but she has another side.
For example, in another time and space, a director with a good relationship with Cheng Yuling needs to add two scenes after the filming, which can be done in half a day. If it were other actors, they would definitely not charge money. After all, everyone will have to cooperate in the future, but Cheng Yuling just charged others 100,000 yuan in a long time, offending the director and the producer.
Another thing is that Cheng Yuling never lends money to others, and no matter how good her friend is, she doesn't lend a penny.
When she has money, she stores it all in the bank, and she does not speculate in real estate or do business. She is one of the most conservative financial management concepts among Hong Kong artists.
Jackie Chan is a very generous person to his friends. He and Cheng Yuling can be good friends at most. How can he become lovers?
But throughout Christmas, Jackie Chan and Cheng Yuling's relationship was still hyped up, and the "Flying Eagle Plan" starring them was gradually hyped up, and it had already been more than half of it before it was released.
The Spring Festival period in February next year is destined to belong to Jackie Chan.
But for Christmas, everyone recognizes that Kang Jianfei is the world.Except for Wong Kar-wai's "The Legend of Ah Fei" that is more anticipated, there is no movie that can be a rival throughout Christmas.
As for the pit of "The Legend of A Fei"...
Well, no one knows that it is a pit yet. Only knows that Deng Guangrong invested 40 million yuan. Wong Kar-wai asked Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau, and Jacky Cheung to starring (the original starring was Tony Leung, but later changed to a guest appearance). It took more than a year to have an explosion and gunfight, another speed chase, and even used a helicopter during filming. Now the movie has finally been completed.
Now the audience is looking forward to going to the cinema to watch the gunfight scene between Leslie Cheung and Andy Lau, and to see the hot helicopter explosion scene.
Unlike the premiere of "The World of Truman", "The Legend of Ah Fei" chose the traditional midnight premiere.
Some movie fans excitedly bought tickets to take a look. After watching it for an entire hour and a half, some were bored and left halfway, and some fell asleep directly. Until the end of the movie's subtitles appeared, the audience who persisted until the end of the audience finally realized that they were fooled by the director.
What about the hot gun battle that was agreed upon?
Where is the promised helicopter?
Where is the agreed speed camera?
Damn, what's the matter in this broken movie!
Refund the ticket!
The director will die for me!
Watching this movie is more uncomfortable than eating shit.
Wasting my youth!
……
When the King of Sunglasses saw something was wrong, he quietly slipped away. Investor Deng Guangrong looked ashen. With the last bit of luck, he called the editor overnight to ask the editor to edit the film again.
Ah, a big investment of 40 million yuan, has invested all the money he has earned over the years. If it fails, Deng Guangrong can't imagine it.
