Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry, and his life was very comfortable. He just chatted with Brigitte Lin every day and asked her to come out for dinner. In this way, half a month passed in a flash.
Song Bing was the happiest. This guy was the one who could freely move at other times except for helping Kang Jianfei track Brigitte Lin every day and inquire about some information.
Traveling to Hawaii with a paid long vacation, and reimbursing air tickets and accommodation fees, where can I find such a beautiful person?
Just when Kang Jianfei was already familiar with Brigitte Lin, "Three Minutes Hero", directed by Eric Tsang and produced by Kang Jianfei, was released at the same time as the opening work of New Art City, "Crazy Big Crazy".
The script of "Crazy Crazy" is a mess. Fortunately, Mai Jia, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming and others act hard, and there are quite a lot of jokes.
At this time, the influence of "Mr. Zombie" has long passed. Sammo Hung's "Ghost Fights" and Anle Films' "Trizzy War" have also been painted one after another. The audience has no good movies to watch for a while.
It was in this case that although the summer season had passed, the attendance rate of "Crazy Big Dealer" was very high, and it won a box office of 280,000 on the first day.
"Three Minutes Hero" is not behind, because Chen You, the former Winner band singer, and Wu Mengda and Cherie Chung were hyped repeatedly, and they won 300,000 yuan on the first day, which is a little higher than "Crazy Big Fraud".
On the second day, the attendance rate of both movies increased, and Princess Golden Cinema also increased the number of screenings for them.
The cumulative box office of "Crazy Big Crazy" in two days was 500,000, while "Three Minutes Hero" suddenly rose to 570,000.
On the third day, the attendance rate of "Crazy Big Crazy" dropped slightly, and "Three Minutes Hero" began to fill up and became popular all of a sudden.
……
how so?Mai Jia grabbed his bald head irritably.
From the perspective of his screenwriter, Wong Pai-ming has a very good storyline, and our plot of "Crazy Fraud" is a bit messy.In addition, their last fighting scene was very good. Two martial arts masters flew around with light skills on modern high-rise buildings as the background. This was something that had never been seen in previous movies, and it was normal for the audience to watch.
Shi Tianze said: Chen You and Ng Mengda's performances are very crazy. Their funnyness is a bit different from ours. You can learn a little in the future.
Mai Jia touched his bald head for a while and suddenly said: How about we dig up Zeng Zhiwei?
Mai Jia and others have worked with Eric Tsang before and know that the jokes made by this person are very pleasing to the audience.
The reason why Tsang Eric Tsang, a collaboration between New Art City and Jinbao Film Company, asked him to go there is not only to act, but also to be responsible for improving the script.
Shi Tiandao: How to dig?Oriental Company is more powerful than our New Art City, and Zeng Zhiwei may not be willing to come.
Huang Baiming said: You don’t have to dig. I heard that Zeng Zhiwei signed a department appointment with Oriental Company. He made six movies in five years, and we also used the department appointment to invite him to be a director.
Shi Tiandao: That is a director contract. Zeng Zhiwei has an actor contract at Oriental Company, and he is also a member of the Kang family class.
Huang Baiming said: Then it’s not easy to dig, why don’t we find another director?
Mai Jia asked: Who are you looking for?
Wong Pai-ming said: Tsui Hark has been in the limelight recently and has some ideas about making movies. We can ask him to join the New Art City.
Shi Tian shook his head repeatedly and said: No, no, this person's movies are all very popular, and he won't lose money when he comes to him to make movies.
Huang Baiming said: The script is mainly completed by us, and the final editing is also done by us. He just needs to shoot it. In this way, wouldn’t he be afraid that he will make a fuss?
Mai Jia nodded and said: I think it's feasible. The film directed by this person is still very interesting, but the plot and rhythm are all chaotic.I will be responsible for supervising the production and putting the brakes on him.
Shi Tiandao: But we are not familiar with Tsui Hark, who will invite him?
Mai Jia nodded and said: I was responsible for going to invite him, saying that we like his movies very much, and then we wanted to sign him as the director.This guy failed two consecutive movies, and no one was willing to invest in him anymore. We will definitely agree to the invitation.
Wong Baiming gave an idea: When he went there, he held a book called "Movie Biweekly".
Mai Jia said: Who reads the magazine Ah that only knows pantothenic acid.
Wong Baiming smiled and said: You can hold it in your hand if you don’t watch it. There is a cover character of the film Biweekly magazine that is Tsui Hark, so you can find that issue.
Shi Tiandao: This is a good idea.
Huang Baiming also said: In addition, our soundtrack is not as good as "Three Minutes Hero". Oriental Company has two people, Chen Xunqi and Kang Jianfei, who are playing the soundtrack, and we also need a full-time musician.
McGar asked: How about Teddy Robin?I've met him a few times before.
Shi Tian nodded and said: This person is very good. He used to be very popular. Last year's "Guiding Bingbing" was the soundtrack made by Teddy Robin.
Wong Baiming said: Why not do this? I will invite Tsui Hark, Mai Jia, you will invite Teddy Robin.
Mai Jia nodded and said: That's it.
After making up his mind, the three of them immediately went to prepare separately.
A week later, Tsui Hark and Teddy Robin officially joined the New Art City, much earlier than the original time and space.
However, Kang Jianfei signed Eric Tsang in advance, and the seven monsters in New Art City can only gather at most six. I don’t know if they can create a classic like "Best Partner".
……
A week passed and the gap between the two movies became increasingly obvious.
Due to the decrease in attendance rate of "Crazy Big Crazy", the box office in two theaters was reduced to "Three Minutes Hero", with a box office of only more than 1.5 million in the first week.
The box office of "Three Minutes Hero" reached more than 2.4 million in the first week.
In "Three Minutes Hero", Chen You and Ng Mengda's funny appearance made the audience laugh on the spot with the nonsensical prototypes. Chung Chuhong's white-collar beauty's outfit is also amazing, especially the final fight in the modern city, which made the audience feel extremely novel.
After the hit "Three Minutes Hero", the movie quickly made Cherie Chung and Cheng Kui'an famous.
Especially Cheng Kui'an, this guy appeared as a big villain, and the evil guy looked like he was already very impressed without performing it.
Before the movie was finished, many directors called to invite Cheng Kui'an to play the bad guy.
Although Ng Mengda has not yet completely emerged from the reputation of being a bad gambling man, at least the audience has accepted him again. I believe that after making one or two movies, other directors will invite him to film.
Although I didn't get much money for this movie, Wu Mengda was already very satisfied, and the door to hope had opened a gap for him.
As for the one who gained the most, it was naturally Eric Tsang. The film "Three Minutes Hero" finally made his name become famous and began to enter the ranks of well-known directors.
A week after the two movies were released, Jackie Chan made a strong return with his Hollywood blockbuster "The Killer Trench", and Shaw Theater was released at the same time as several other independent theaters.
"Killer Trench" was very popular on the day it was released. Because Jiahe has a lot of publicity, many viewers want to see what this blockbuster filmed by Jackie Chan looks like.
But after watching it, 30% of the audience thought it was good, 30% of the audience felt it was forced, 30% of the audience felt it was bad, and in the end, 10% of the audience thought it was cursing directly.
In addition to his own performance, the whole movie has a Jackie Chan style, and everything else is like a Hollywood action movie.
Don’t think that Hollywood is very good at this time. From the perspective of the 21st century, the fighting scenes in Hollywood action movies in the early 1980s were as bad as a piece of cake.
Basically, the drunkards who punch and kick each other are fighting, and if they are more serious, they will add some boxing moves.
Until later, a large number of Hong Kong action directors went abroad, and Hollywood action movies incorporated oriental martial arts elements and computer stunts, which was what made people really fascinated.
Moreover, Hollywood has not yet dominated the world at this time, and Asia is about to become the world of Hong Kong films.
Not to mention Japan, Hong Kong and Hollywood films are both easy to sell, while South Korea and Southeast Asia are dominating Hong Kong and Taiwan films, and Hollywood blockbusters have never been sold very well.
It was not until the 1990s that the Asian financial crisis, the decline of Hong Kong movies, and the extensive use of film special effects that Hollywood movies finally successfully eroded and occupied the Asian market.
Let’s talk about Jackie Chan’s action scene designed by an American action director, which cannot exert Jackie Chan’s strength at all. Can Hong Kong audiences buy it?
On the first day of the release of "Killer Treasure", more than 20 theaters were full at the same time. As a result, the attendance rate on the second day dropped to 80%, and on the third day it dropped to 50%.
Some media even laughed at it directly: Jiahe’s action drama that cost tens of millions of dollars this time seems to be wasted.The action scenes are like children fighting, and the plot is extremely cliché, and they are not as good as the kung fu films made by a second-rate Hong Kong director.
Although the box office of "The Killer's Trench" was not ideal, it had a huge impact on "Three Minutes Hero" and "The Crazy Big Fraud". The audience was snatched away by "The Killer's Trench", and the attendance rate suddenly dropped sharply.
Until Kang Jianfei returned to Hong Kong, the local box office of "Three Minutes Hero" was 3.58 million, and the local box office of "Crazy Big Dealer" was 2.89 million.
After a while, "Killer Trench" also fell into the picture earlier than expected, with a box office of 5.77 million in Hong Kong.
Zou Wenhuai's face turned green, but he still had expectations for the overseas box office of "Killer Trench", hoping that "Killer Trench" could sell well in the two largest film markets in Japan and the United States.
The overseas market of "Killer Trench" can only be said to be barely able to pass, with the United States being 8.5 million US dollars, France being 5.42 million US dollars, Japan being 9.4 billion yen, and the global box office combined is a little more than 20 million US dollars.
But compared to the movie's investment of more than $10 million, there is only one word that can describe it: failure!
Jiahe can't even take back all the capital when he makes this movie.
Of course, the global box office statistics of "Killer Hail" will be finally released at the end of next year.
Boss Zou was not discouraged at this time. After contacting the record company to publish several records of the same name for Jackie Chan, he decided to continue his efforts and spend a huge amount of money to cooperate with 20th Century Fox to shoot an international action film "Sky Speed", which also brought Xu Guanwen to the scene this time.
Song Bing was the happiest. This guy was the one who could freely move at other times except for helping Kang Jianfei track Brigitte Lin every day and inquire about some information.
