Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

On the day of Laba in the lunar calendar, when countless Hong Kong residents were happily celebrating the festival, the Kowloon Daily News Series Media Group also published a piece of news that greatly boosted morale.

"Warm congratulations to (Source Code/Speed ​​2) for being nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation!"

A bold and enlarged front-page headline, accompanying the release of the newspaper, shocked countless citizens who saw it, and then...

Oh boy, the Hugo Awards are here!

(Source Code/Speed ​​2) When this big movie was released at the end of June last year, it dominated a wave of hot topics among Hong Kong citizens with its wonderful creativity and constant explosion.

Chris, who had a strong voice in the Global Science Fiction Association at the time, also expressed his appreciation and support for the film to the media, saying that it could win the Hugo Award.

Chris's words, coupled with his status as one of the big names on the awards jury that holds the Hugo Awards every year, have stimulated the box office of this big movie to a big step up. Now in the new year, Yes, the one who was rated as the boss really nominated him? ?

Once you are nominated, you are in the running for the grand prize!

In the current Hong Kong film industry, it is not uncommon to win awards at the Cannes International Film Festival, and it is much more common to win Oscars in North America.

But the Hugo Award is a literary award as famous as the Nobel!

This is more stimulating to the public's confidence and sense of honor than nominations for Best Actor, Best Actor and Best Director. After all, this is a major movie shot by Hong Kong Islanders and almost all starring Chinese.

It was during this Laba Festival that countless citizens couldn't wait to go back and watch the video of (Source Code/Speed ​​2) after reading the newspaper headlines.

I've seen the movie before and watched the video, but with the news of being nominated for an award, can I watch it again? ? Damn it, it still looks like that, it’s so beautiful!

The more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.

There is also a new attraction that counts celebrities, such as Bill Gai, who was beaten violently by the male protagonist Liang Jiahui in the second cycle, or Bill Gai, who often sits diagonally across from the seat where Liang Jiahui wakes up, cursing at the futuristic sci-fi mobile phone. Bro……

That little brother was played by Luo Jialiang. When the big movie was first released, not many people knew who Luo Jialiang was or what kind of character he was. He was just a bit player.

What now? That is a new star whose popularity has exploded with the popularity of the two-part "Criminal Detective Files".

Another person who plays the role of train ticket inspector is Wong Bing-yao. Former Hong Kong Island citizens don’t have much impression of Wong Bing-yao. At most, they know that he is Hong Ping-po’s favorite and a golden screenwriter. However, after the hit "Play Back to School", Zhou Xingxing was asked to change his role. Take a look around, see the old gangster director whistling behind Xing Zai? ?

Huang Bingyao also became popular following that role.

This kind of fun of counting celebrities can occasionally make many people enjoy watching it and be very energetic. At this stage, when the citizens of Haowan, Hong Kong watch video tapes, counting celebrities is a routine operation.

From the time Zhao Donghuai entered the industry to direct the first film "New World", to F4's like Kwan Li-kit, and then to the celebrity star Zhou Xingxing... aren't they all from minor roles?

When noon comes.

Zhao Donghuai met Xu Ke in the big office, and the other party also brought the completed film of (Once Upon a Time in China: A Man Should Be Strong).

When Director Zhao saw the master tape, he stood up with a smile, "Let's go to the screening room and watch it. In this second film, Lao Xu, you have speeded up."

Xu Ke smiled while getting more and more fighting spirit, "Three-mao Debao has been listed on the market, and its market value has exceeded 10 billion. It's a large group with 10 billion Hong Kong dollars... Tsk, it took me more than eight months to finish the filming of Men Become Self-Strengthening, no. It’s pretty quick.”

"It's also lucky that Ajie was not injured again and was hospitalized this time."

"By the way, this year I want to make two parts of Cha Sheng's Swordsman after the Spring Festival. Although the pace of one movie a year is not slow, it is far behind the pace of three movies. Mao’s treasure.”

Director Zhao was stunned, but after thinking about it, he understood clearly that Xu Ke was really stimulated by Debao's listing and its rapid breakthrough of tens of billions.

According to the original track, he was planning to film Swordsman this year, and also invited Hu Jinquan to come out. The version of Linghu Chong starring Xu Guanjie actually had a group of directors, Xu Ke, Hu Jinquan, Cheng Xiaodong, Li Huimin, Xu Anhua, etc.

At the beginning, Hu Jinquan was the main director, Xu Ke was the producer, and Cheng Xiaodong and others were the assistant directors.

However, as they continued filming, Lao Xu Ai's addiction to being a show tyrant came back again, and he kept interfering with Hu Jinquan's creative ideas. Neither of them accepted the other, and Hu Jinquan became so angry that he ran away and stopped playing.

After lying around like this for a while, it was not completed until 1990.

This movie is still very successful, and the theme song (A Big Smile in the Sea) is also very popular, but... But it seems that Dongfang Invincible, created by Xu Ke himself, is more famous.

After thinking about it, he nodded, "You can shoot whatever you want. If you want the market value to exceed tens of billions after listing, you have to have enough good movies to support it. Besides, Qin's studio is still lacking in capable people compared to Debao. A little bit."

"If you want to become bigger and stronger, I feel that only by joining forces with Wang Jing can you have a chance to catch up with Debao."

Xu Ke looked thoughtful when he heard this, "To form a team with Fatty Wang? It's not impossible... After all, the current Debao, Hong Yinbao and Curly Hair only hold 10% of the shares each, and are just one of the major shareholders."

If one or two people want to expand the film group and increase its market value, it really can't be supported by one or two people. Since Hong Yinbao only owns 10% of Debao's shares, it is not impossible for his studio to partner with Feijing.

The two of them have made too many movies together. The Home Alone series, the female version of Cat and Mouse, etc. are all jointly impacting the global market. However, those copyrights are all owned by Zhao Films. Otherwise, if the copyrights are in The studio, as well as the global video revenue of the Home Alone series and the trilogy, have been able to earn close to a billion dollars in profits for many years.

This financial report can support a market value of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At this stage, Xu Ke's studio's main major projects are the 5 episodes of A Chinese Ghost Story, and blockbusters such as A Better Tomorrow and Once Upon a Time are in the pipeline.

This is not bad, especially after the fifth Chinese Ghost Story series experienced the setting of absorbing radiation and becoming stronger, it also began to sell well in Europe and the United States. The previous several reset versions successively changed the settings and were sold to Europe and the United States, and they also made a lot of money. Shao Mei Dao.

But one old Xu really can't beat Debao's large group of talents.

As for Fei Jing, a series of achievements such as God of Gamblers, Hardcover Girl Chasing Series, Tricky Expert, Frog Prince, Wife Killing Duo, Modern Cinderella, Best Bad Friend, etc., all represent big projects. They are all in East and Southeast Asia, making steady money from video tapes!

Money can be deposited into the studio account steadily every month.

After a while, after enjoying an outstanding costume movie, Lao Xu decisively ran away to the mainland. After all, Fei Jing was still filming in Yangcheng (Ninth Grade Sesame Official).

Zhao Donghuai arranged for print media and TV stations to start publicity and distribution. There is still a lot of interest and momentum in a man's self-improvement. In the Lunar New Year period before the Spring Festival, this is the main blockbuster.

If it is released on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it will hit the box office on New Year's Eve.

After all, there is an excellent foundation for the previous work. In North America, it also sold 8 million US dollars in its first weekend, and finally dropped to 56 million US dollars. The second part is also so good.

The only thing that surprised Zhao Donghuai in this movie was that the man who played the role of Mr. Sun was not Zhang Tielin in the original movie, but Zhang Zhijian.

There is nothing wrong with that, Zhang Tielin is still studying abroad in Yalun. That person came to the Hong Kong film industry from Yinlun in the 1990s.

As for Zhang Zhijian, an old director who has experienced vicissitudes of life in the right way in the world? Xiaoge Lao in Ming Dynasty 1566, Comrade Yuliang in In the Name of the People?

I am 34 years old this year. My biological father is in the art troupe. He graduated from the Jiangsu Provincial People's Arts and is a veteran of the Nandu Repertory Theater. He is probably like the famous actor Lao Li from all over the country. He was discovered by Lao Xu or the casting director when he was drifting in Hong Kong. .

The Mr. Sun he plays is much more elegant than the original version, and his line skills are even better than those of Jet Li, Xiong Xinxin and others.

"Now that he has appeared, let's give him a chance to audition and secretly compete with the male lead."

Thinking of this, Director Zhao decisively asked Zhang Min to arrange movie invitations.

"Dark War" is a super classic police story duel shot by Johnnie To in 1999. It did well at the box office and won a lot of awards. Why do you think Director Zhao copied Johnnie To's own movie in advance?

No, in the original track, Lao Du copied Hollywood. In 1998, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. starred in a classic movie (Ace vs. Ace).

Lao Du copied it... Although the identity of the duel between the two heroes has changed, and it has evolved to be very local and Hong Kong, the essence is that the adaptation copyright was not bought out and the money was not given to copy it.

And (Ace vs. Ace) is adapted from a real case in a police station in North America.

In this circle, it’s like Keep the Call was adapted from Hollywood’s Silver Linings, well, Keep the Call bought the rights.

Xiang Laoshi was the main recommendation in the original track of Secret War, but Xiang Laoshi would not give money so honestly. On the contrary, Yang Shoucheng, who also has a lot of dirty information, is somewhat disciplined. Of course, keeping the call on the original track, and also having Han Shanping join him, naturally it is impossible to copy it in vain.

Director Zhao took it out in advance and said, well, everyone in the world is the same.

At this stage, Johnnie To is still preparing to shoot the second part of F4: Underworld, but it is not a bad thing to shoot the secret battle in advance. Except for Guan Lijie in F4, the other three still have to go through a wave of acting skills.

At this stage, Liu Qingyun cannot play the role of He Shangsheng, the negotiator. Liu, a 25-year-old grocery shopping citizen, has not yet entered the stage of his acting skills.

Zhao Donghuai originally planned to let actors like Zhang Xueyou or Liang Jiahui try out. He unexpectedly discovered that 34-year-old Zhang Zhijian has very strong acting skills and is also a role model for handsome uncles. He was given a chance to audition. If he could act, he would be cast. .

Promote more stars and cultivate new cash cows.

After all, big stars like Jacky Cheung or Tony Leung Ka-fai who are already famous are not short of this opportunity.

As for the big thief in Secret War, he was considering letting Zhang Guorong, He Jiajing or Zun Lung play the heroine... There are too many choices, whether it is a Chinese beauty or a white actress, to play the classic love sprouting on the bus , all top-notch.

If you choose a white beauty, it is naturally for the European and American box office. Even if you can save millions of dollars, it is still a good deal.

The original version of "Dark War" only had a box office of more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars, but that was in 1999, an era when Hong Kong movies collapsed and countless people had no jobs. With more than 14 million Hong Kong dollars, it was already the ninth best result in the box office list of the whole year!

In this year, ninth in the box office list for the whole year? If you want to get into the top fifteen, you won't be able to get there without a local score of over 30 million.

………………

A bar in Kowloon Tong.

Although it was after three o'clock in the afternoon, there were already many customers playing in this bar. After all, it was opened by Zhang Guorong and was specially provided for celebrities and entertainment industry people to play.

Even the waiters are basically Asian opera students or Hong Kong drifters close to the entertainment industry.

When Zhang Guorong performed a powerful song and danced on the stage and came off the stage, the audience burst into applause. The waiter Zhang Zhijian came over with a tray and said, "Boss, you sang so well. Drink some water to moisten your throat..."

Ah Rong smiled and patted Zhang Zhijian on the shoulder, "Ajian, your Cantonese is becoming more and more authentic."

Zhang Zhijian hurriedly said politely, "I haven't had time to seriously thank you boss for your recommendation. If it wasn't you, how would I have the chance to play an important role in such a big project (Once Upon a Time: A Man Should Be Strong)?"

That's right, after he came to Hong Kong with his wife to work as a waiter in the bar owned by Zhang Guorong, he had been working as a waiter for more than a year. It was also during this year that his Cantonese improved rapidly.

He didn't see Zhang Guorong often. Ah Rong was also very busy. He had to wait for Days of Being Wild... for almost half a year.

Working here for more than a year, Zhang Zhijian has also met many celebrities, big directors and so on, but what about sneaking into the male self-improvement crew? When Zhang Guorong came to play one time, I saw him instructing several Asian opera students on their acting skills and performance methods.

Then I chatted with him for a while, then chatted with him several times, and tried his acting skills several times.

It didn't take long for him to receive a film contract for the role of Mr. Sun.

One thing to say is that he has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he likes to perform. After graduating from the Suzhou People's Art Institute, he has been running dramas for many years. His acting skills must be full of hard work, but he has not acted in many TV series and movies before, and his acting mode is still there. Different.

Wasn't it that the big boss pushed him to leave the theater stage and make movies? It took him a while to learn to adapt.

Ah Rong laughed and said, "Don't worry so much. You have a good image, a tall figure, and good acting skills. At least you can be better than me on stage. As long as you find the right performance style for film and television projects, you are sure to become popular."

After drinking a glass of boiled water, Zhang Guorong chatted with Zhang Zhijian for a few more words before heading back to the table of Days of Being Wild and chatting.

Zhang Zhijian continued to work.

The cost of living in Hong Kong is very high. After all, the requirements for food, accommodation and consumption here are high. Fortunately, Zhang Guorong is the boss and is generous to his employees. The salary system is comparable to that of thousands of employees.

Welfare? ? For an actor, what could be better than the benefit of frequently seeing and knowing many great directors and stars?

While he was running to serve the guests, a figure jumped out and said excitedly, "Brother Jian, you are going to be popular, you are going to be popular!"

"The message from Zhao's Pictures asks you to go to ATV headquarters to interview for the leading role."

This is Hu Jun, a student of the 1987 Asian Opera class... He is also destined to be a waiter now. Of course, since Liu Yijun, who lives in the same dormitory, has become popular, if any crew starts looking for a supporting role, Liu Yijun will also help his classmates get opportunities.

Hu Jun has also been playing side roles. Starting from (Prank Kiss), to Destined to Love You, Intolerance, Criminal Investigation Files, etc., Hu Jun and Zhang Jiayi have played side roles, and they still have the opportunity to get some valuable information. A small supporting role with lines.

But that kind of opportunity, and working as a waiter in Zhang Guorong's bar, are two-way starting advantages.

The first time Zhang Guorong faced Zhang Zhijian was when Ajian was giving advice on the acting skills of Hu Jun and Zhang Jiayi.

Zhang Zhijian was stunned, "Is it true or not? Are you kidding me? A man's self-improvement hasn't even been released yet!"

Hu Jun was jealous with envy and grabbed Lao Zhang and shook him, "How dare I make a joke like this on you? Aren't I afraid of being beaten to death by you? The big boss must have watched the finished film and found that your acting skills and image are suitable for the protagonist of the new project. , I just sent you an appointment."

"Even if it wasn't a project directed by Zhao Sheng, it would have been shot by Johnnie To. That's a super director. He made "Underworld 1" from scratch and won the Best Director trophy at the Cannes International Film Festival. !”

Zhang Zhijian, "..."

He was so excited that he wanted to faint. He suppressed his emotions and whispered, "You better not lie to me, or I will really beat you!"

He was raised by his father according to military standards since he was a child. His physique is not generally strong and powerful. Hey, I have often heard Hu Jun say that he was beaten by his own father since he was a child?

After saying this, he excitedly ran to make a phone call. He still wanted to confirm whether Xiao Hu had lied to him...

Some time later, when Zhang Zhijian changed his clothes and was about to ask for leave, Zhang Guorong found him, with a look of amazement on his face, "I said that with your acting skills and good looks, you will definitely not be buried."

"But it's a coincidence. There are two male protagonists in the new movie, and there is a chance that we will star opposite each other."

Cheung Chi-kin is even more confused. The two protagonists could be him as a waiter and a hugely popular singer like Zhang Guorong. The King of Songs and a string of superstars who are also movie stars will play opposite him? ?

Do you want it to be so exciting when you come up? !

But how can I put it, he is one year older than Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong sighed again, "Don't think too much. Those who compete with you for the same role are Zhang Xueyou and Liang Jiahui... those who compete with me are Zun Long and He Jiajing."

Ajian, "..."

He suddenly felt so stressed that he couldn't stop it, and he wanted to raise the white flag.

Zhang Xueyou was brought up by Oscar winner Al Pacino and one of the best Oscar directors. Before that, he had been trained by Xu Ke.

Liang Jiahui? ? Need more to say?

Ah Rong smiled and nodded, "Today I'm going to get the script. It's a week of preparation. We'll see the results then."

"Don't worry, if you fail, no one will think you are too good. The big boss can directly put you in the interview with Ah Hui and Ah You. It has proven that he is really interested in your acting ability. If you lose this time, There will be a next time.”

"Leung Ka-fai is the best proof. When he was banned by Ben, his boss arranged for him to play the role of a black man, and then there was a steady flow of resources for blockbuster films."

"Isn't it the same with Ah Xing, the king of comedy? He started playing small roles in New World 1, and now he has become the Star Master among countless people."

"Zhang Xueyou was recruited into the Zhao family after he debuted and was still working as a clerk in the company. In his first battle, he was the body collector in (Quick Chase)."

Ajian, "..."

He could only say thank you to Boss Zhang for being so understanding. Think about the resumes of Liang Jiahui and others? It really only takes one's eyes, and if you fail or miss it once or twice, it's really not a big deal.

Is he stable? Can you go back to the rental house to tell your wife the good news? It's not easy to say that. Her wife was an avid fan of his, but she stayed with him until she was in her 30s.

The two of them are currently working in Hong Kong without pay.

In this era, competition for mainlanders to come to Hong Kong to work is fierce and tortuous. Artistic workers like them can obtain work visas relatively easily and can renew them easily.

Regardless of whether it is a movie or a major TV series, it can easily earn foreign exchange for relevant mainland units, and it has a large amount of foreign exchange income, which is why it has received strong support from all aspects.

Whether it was the couple or Li Youbin and his wife who came to Hong Kong easily, it was all because once they became popular, they could greatly earn foreign exchange for their original units.

……………………

Seven days later.

Cheung Chi Kin walked out of Zhao Films Building in a daze. He still can't believe that he actually won the competition with Jacky Cheung Suet Yau and Tony Leung Ka Fai.

He has really become one of the male protagonists in this big movie project (Dark War). As for the big thief, it is Zhang Guorong. There are two versions of the female protagonist. Yes, considering the end, Zhao Donghuai still started a similar project. (Home Alone) kind of configuration.

For the European and American markets, go to Jennifer Aniston; for the East and Southeast Asian markets, go to Lan Jieying.

Zhao Donghuai has considered choosing a white thief, such as Bruce Willis, who is also very good at literary and opera acting. But if Zhang Guorong is chosen, Ah Wing himself will be a global music king, holding concerts in Europe and the United States again and again. , which brought out a large number of white fans.

There is absolutely no need to deal with the big white thieves.

So I chose two versions of the heroine and filmed it one more time.

Zhang Zhijian has been preparing for this script for seven days, and he has not been at work for these seven days... When he was performing before, he just felt that he was giving his best, but Liang Jiahui was not weaker than him at all, and was even stronger.

He can even compete with Zhang Xueyou, can he still win?

Needless to say, starting from today, he really wants to ask more advice from his boss Zhang Guorong. By the way, Days of Being Wild has not finished filming yet, and Zhang Guorong is the absolute protagonist.

Is Boss Rong going to start a drama? But in terms of his acting skills... it's not a big deal to be in a scene, it's just running two crews at the same time.

As for the script (Dark War)? He could only sigh that it was indeed produced by Zhao Sheng, it was so wonderful and classic!

Main opponent? The boss in his script is Xu Siu-hsiung, and the Interpol supervisor who likes his character is Lee Saifeng.

He felt a bit lifted up by Bole. A supporting role was played by a popular actress like Li Saifeng.

This really needs to be paid 200%... Without further ado, let’s quickly get to know a few negotiation experts in Hong Kong and learn more about the other party’s work. I originally wanted to go home for the Spring Festival, but I definitely don’t have to now. gone back.

Even if his father knew about it, he wouldn't let him go back because he wanted to earn foreign exchange.

The more A Jian studied, the more he discovered that both negotiator He Shangsheng and the big thief A Rong were real men full of personal charm. Instead, the two love scenes were downplayed and could only be regarded as sudden tenderness. and romance.

………………

ATV big office.

Zhang Zhijian, Zhang Guorong and others stepped out one after another. Liang Jiahui was still drinking tea in the office. Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Your acting skills are still better than Zhang Zhijian, mainly because you have too much experience in film acting, but if you see a good talent, let him give it a try."

"Don't say I don't take care of you. You will act in this script and leave it to Mak Hung-hsiung to direct. This time I may go to Thailand for filming."

Ah Hui didn't care too much about the gains and losses in the secret battle. He grabbed the new notebook in surprise and said, "Manslaughter?"

Yes, this is a male protagonist who didn't go to school much, but relied on watching a lot of video tapes to watch movies, and learned montage, cross-editing and other methods from the movies. After his family accidentally killed the mayor and the police chief's son, he A primary school dropout was accidentally killed in a battle of wits and wits with a police station in Thailand.

The story of Manslaughter is undoubtedly very exciting. The original version was adapted from A Sanguo's (Manslaughter and the Secret of the Sky). It is not only very strong at the box office, but also has great reputation.

If you ask Ah Fai to play a middle-aged Li Weijie, it's not difficult at all.

As for moving the manslaughter project to before 1990? ? The impact is not big. When two rich second-generation girls are obsessed with each other, they can be filmed with a small home video recorder.

For smartphones, choose Big Brother or soft sci-fi-style flip-top phones of the same era. Li Weijie runs a small online after-sales service company while renting and changing video cassettes and watching movies at the company every day.

When Liang Jiahui finished reading the script and was in awe, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "As the heroine, to play your wife, you can choose from the older generation of actresses such as Lin Qingxia, Hu Huizhong, Zhao Yazhi, etc. With two daughters, the younger daughter can try Hello Chen, this girl has also been studying as a child actor in Asia Opera for a year and a half."

"The eldest daughter of the obsessed girl, Wan Qiwen, Li Zi, etc. can give it a try."

"She is mainly a villain and a very prominent female director. She wants to portray the aura of a strong woman. Let Gong Li play the role. Gong Li can play this kind of aura well. She is a bit too young, but she can make up and look older. .”

"As for the mayoral candidate, Ren Dahua, we will decide on these for the time being. The rest will be decided by Lao Mai."

"There's no rush. We'll start shooting after the Spring Festival holiday. You can take a good annual vacation."

Gong Li is 24 years old, and her acting skills are at the top level of a female actress.

Under the words, Liang Jiahui nodded confidently, "I can do it. This book feels as exciting as the secret battle. You have to show your strength."

Waiting for the Ahuishan people.

Guan Jiahui ran over with a box of things, "Brother Huai, which brand of anti-spill mat do you want me to use? You will eat this by then, so don't throw it away."

Director Zhao was almost broken by Sister Guan. She had only been pregnant for more than a month, and she was already thinking about a spill-proof pad? Really...

Ordinary women may face the embarrassing situation of insufficient food supply. In ancient times, many people hired professional wet nurses, but Guan Jiahui and other women are basically very wealthy given their current physiques.

"I have also screened several professional wet nurses in advance, including selected milk powder brands. The little one is not short of food and drink. I will give it to you here? I can't wait to think about it. How many more months do we have to wait?"

Zhao Donghuai coughed heavily. Sister Guan was getting more and more feverish. The involution has reached this level. What do you think if you let other people see it?

Not to mention, even though they were an old couple, he couldn't bear the challenge of such a weak spot for a while!

Azhen was covering her head as she listened, "Sister Jiahui, can you stop taking the papers? I'm only 21 and already want to learn. I heard there will be a second growth?"

Normally, the secondary development after human life will be retracted later, but there is indeed a long period of time.

Guan Jiahui waved her hands hurriedly, "No, you are still young and can't control it. Let me do it."

………………

Two days later, with several days of major announcements, Once Upon a Time in China quickly entered the theater frenzy.

With an excellent foundation from its predecessors, this action blockbuster has become a hit since its release, not to mention the basic sales figures of Hong Kong Haowan.

When Men Are Self-Strengthened entered the Mainland, with 70% of the film schedule, it grossed more than 40 million yuan at the box office on the first day. It was Chinese New Year, students were on winter vacation, and even during the winter vacation, this blockbuster received super sufficient box office support.

The next day the box office was still more than 42 million, breaking 100 million in three days!

In North America, with the support of the first film that earned more than 50 million U.S. dollars, Men Should Be Strong also contributed more than 6 million U.S. dollars in three working days, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which is not as good as Zhao's Various epoch-making action blockbusters are displayed.

But, but... Jet Li is already very popular, and his action movie fighting style has already accumulated enough fans in North America.

The momentum generated by this blockbuster has directly overtaken the popularity of the previous movie "Via Dragon". It exceeded 100 million yuan in three days in the mainland and 250 million yuan was sold in the first six days!

Lasting until January 29, the man's self-improvement hit 530 million data in the mainland.

When the time comes to the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the time period of the Northern Xiaonian, the New Year atmosphere becomes more and more enthusiastic and festive, and the power of men to strengthen themselves becomes greater... Also, a ghost mission, under the suppression of Home Alone, Shunfeng The car picked up the Christmas and New Year's Day sales, and it made a lot of money at the box office.

Now the sequel to Ghost School is just copying it, picking up men as a way to celebrate the New Year for self-improvement.

Lin Jianyue, Liu Zhenwei, Yuan Kui, Zhang Xueyou and others flew again. With the strength of the old Liu Kuaishou, he started the group during the outbreak of the Ghost Mission and released the finished film on January 26th.

Zhao Donghuai has also watched it, and this sequel is actually more exciting than the original sequel.

After the film schedule of When a Man Becomes Self-Strengthening dropped to 50%, School of Hell gained 20% of the film schedule. It was released in the Mainland on the 27th, with a box office of more than 8 million yuan on the first day, more than 7 million the next day, and more than 9 million on the weekend, in three days. The box office exceeded 28 million.

At this stage, the main reason for the lack of entertainment in the mainland is that there are too few entertainment items. In addition to reading, reading newspapers, radios, and televisions... the number of families with televisions at home is limited.

During the Chinese New Year, the whole family can go and watch a few movies, which is not expensive.

School of Ghosts is mainly not very popular among students, so its box office performance is not great, but what can I say? When we were friends, the man took the woman to watch horror movies?

On this day of Bei Xiaonian, with the same 20% of the film schedule, School of Ghosts suddenly exploded into a box office performance of 13 million yuan.

Nan Xiaonian was released on January 31st, and it even reached 14 million yuan, once again showing a stronger trend than the first one.

You must know that his first film, The Ghost Story, accumulated more than 54 million yuan at the box office in just 13 days.

When Liu Dehua came to pay New Year's greetings in advance, Director Zhao looked at Huazi who looked uncomfortable, as if he was sick, and immediately smiled and comforted him, "Ahua, don't think too much. After the Spring Festival, you can make a good book, and you can do business." With blockbuster films, Marquee will make a lot of money again.”

Hua Zai smiled and nodded.
