Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

The ending of the first season of (The Voice of Asia) does not just mean that five new stars and five good songs have begun to sell well in East and Southeast Asia.

Starting from the evening of the 28th, the four major mentor groups including Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Tan Yonglin, and Mei Yanfang will go on tour. These tours will also make the peak night of Ren Xianqi, Yang Gangli, Lin Zhixuan, and Han Hong Four contestants appeared as guests.

Of course, some failed ones, such as Sakai Izumi, Tai Zhengxiao, and Chen Huilong, also got a good song, which was a hit, and they will also make guest appearances.

Even those like Chen Xiaochun and Mok Wenwei who have geographical advantages do not lack the opportunity to make guest appearances occasionally. Chen Xiaochun has been a stage dancer for Zhang Guorong and others for many years. Mok Wenwei is a second generation, and her mother is one of the executives of ATV.

Ah Wing has fewer concerts because of Xu Ke's movie "The House of Gold", but Hua Zai, Principal Tan, and Mei Yanfang's tour concerts are more intensive and frequent.

From Haowan in Hong Kong to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the island country of South Korea and then to the mainland, I plan to play from the end of August to October in one go.

The Hung Hom Guild Hall, which can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators, heard that all tickets before September 15th have been snapped up, and it has long been impossible to buy tickets.

After this series of combos, it really belongs to "The Voice". Disciples selected by their mentors are cultivated towards a true master-disciple relationship.

…………

New forces in the Hong Kong music scene are rising in cycles, and one group is prosperous.

Yongsheng Film Company.

Zhou Runfa and Zhang Zhijian walked into the office. Xiang Laoshi, who was sitting behind his desk smoking, immediately stood up and greeted with a smile, "Brother Fa and Brother Jian are here, Lao Wu, make tea quickly."

Wu Yusen decisively acted as the tea-making boy. Afa and Ajian naturally refused Director Wu's service and took the initiative to find a teapot and teacup to pour themselves tea.

After some polite greetings, Xiang Laoshi smiled and said, "Afa, I heard that our film (The Bloody Heroes) and the film (Prison Storm 2) that you filmed for your old classmate Lin are a bit close to each other, right?"

Zhou Runfa laughed, "Brother Ten, what do you mean?"

“There have been more and more blockbusters in recent years. Even Ah Sing’s (God of Cookery) can’t keep up with the summer season. The Lunar New Year season is dominated by (Wanted 2) and (Spider-Man 1). Those big science fiction and big action movies, who can Dare to block? Whoever blocks will die."

"Last year, Cheng Long's (Miracle) was all swept to death. If it weren't for this year's (Police Story 4), Aaron's new company would have become a joke."

That's right, the summer vacation is basically over. The end of August and the beginning of September are the back-to-school seasons. Have all the blockbusters been released? Don't be ridiculous, the time-travel version (Ip Man 2) was only released on August 16, and it has only been released in theaters around the world for two weeks at this stage.

In just over a week, September 9th and 10th, Ip Man 2 will begin to be released, which also includes the weekend after the end of the summer season and Teacher's Day.

After September 10th, "The Bloody Heroes" starring Chow Yun-fat and Nick Cheung, and "Prison 2" starring Chow Yun-fat will be released one after another.

Arrives on the 10th...

Well, October 1st is the National Day, the 3rd is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and October 26th is the Double Ninth Festival. I avoided the big summer movie (God of Cookery) and planned to release it on September 30th. A festival and weekend schedule.

What about November? Starring Stephen Chow, Carina Lau, and Jim Carrey (New Love) are also starting to bomb. How normal is it for a project that was confirmed in mid-July to be released in November? There is still a wave of (Legend of Mermaid) to be released between (God of Cookery) and Xin Bu Qing.

Xiang Laoshi smoked a cigarette and puffed out, "The schedule is so tight. Also, I inquired in advance. In June last year, Shangmei Film Studio started producing the animated film (Chang'e Flying to the Moon). By December or next year What if the finished product is ready in January?"

"In one and a half years, with the strength of the team of the American film studio, we can make an animated movie like (Kung Fu Panda 1) or (The Lion King). I am not sure that it can be completely completed."

"So from September 10th to the end of September, before Ah Xing's (God of Cookery) is released, two films starring You and Ah Fa will be co-written and starring??"

Zhou Runfa smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ten, please speak frankly. I'm just an actor, so I can't have that much influence. Now the film industry has really entered the era of gods fighting."

Xiang Lao Shi waved his hand, "That's Brother Fa, you are being humble. Your starring role in (Let the Bullets Fly) only took in 17 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, but in Europe and France alone, it took in 19 million U.S. dollars." U.S. dollars, a total of 51 million U.S. dollars across Europe."

"$68 million is equivalent to HK$530 million in Europe and the United States."

"Add in the mainland's RMB 560 million, Hong Kong's RMB 78 million, South Korea's RMB 110 million, and the island country's Stars, Malaysia and Thailand's port sales of RMB 30 million. This is a figure of more than RMB 1.3 billion in the world."

"As for (Jurassic Park 2), you also starred in it. It was worth 650 million US dollars worldwide. Brother Fa, you also went global and became successful."

Accompanied by the praise, Afa smiled a little from ear to ear, but waved his hands repeatedly, "Brother Ten is just kidding, I am the best match for Jurassic 2, and I am the best match among the human creative team."

At this time, Ah Fa is also one of the superstars who can go out of Asia and into the world, not to mention the halo of (Jurassic Park 2).

This movie (Let the Bullets Fly) really brought fame and fortune to too many people. Although it only had 17 million US dollars in North America until the end of its release, it couldn't stand up to the high box office in Europe, especially France and Hans Cat.

The total box office is up!

The global box office exceeded 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Speaking of which...it only cost more than 160 million US dollars. It is not as good as Cheng Long's (Police Story 3) or even one or two (Twilight) movies. You can pick up any one of them and watch it. Double.

But in this era, blockbusters and feature films starring major actors not only achieve high box office, but are also highly praised and sought after in East and Southeast Asia, including Europe. How can this not mean both fame and fortune?

With "Let the Bullets Fly", Ah Fa was not only nominated for Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards, but also won the Golden Horse Best Actor trophy and the Best Actor Trophy at the Asia Pacific Film Festival. He was also lucky enough to attend the Berlin International Film Festival (Golden Film Festival) with the entire cast. Bear Award).

Golden Bear Award, Best Film at the Berlin International Film Festival!

The only regret is that at the Berlin Film Festival, Jiang Wen was nominated for Best Director. He was only nominated without a trophy, but Jiang Wen was also nominated for Best Actor...

Therefore, in the past year or so, Ah Fa's popularity has skyrocketed as a celebrity. Last autumn, the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" was completed, followed closely by "The Bloody Couple". If it hadn't been negotiated in advance, it would have been filmed long ago. By that time, his salary should have been increased.

But there was nothing I could do. It was late April last year. I had already negotiated with Nick Cheung to shoot "Bloody Heroes", and then Zhao Donghuai called Jiang Wen's name, including his name to prepare for "Bullets Flying".

Xiang Lao Shi then said, "The schedule is tight and there are so many blockbuster movies, and I don't want to lose money, so for the movie (The Bloody Heroes), I had a chat with Lao Wu and asked if we could go back to some major cities in the mainland for a roadshow. ?”

"Road shows can also bring in box office, right? It may make you a little tired, but as long as it helps the box office, I will definitely give you a big red envelope afterwards."

Zhou Runfa was confused, and Zhang Zhijian scratched his head in astonishment, "A road show? We don't know anything. It would be easy if we could be like big singers like Rong Ge and Hua Ge. At worst, we can tour concerts like European and American Xuanfa... …”

"We don't know how to sing and dance, so we can't act in a play."

Xiang Lao Shi laughed, "To tell you the truth, I haven't formally thanked you, Brother Jian. Last year, when I was preparing for the filming of "Blood", I asked you to recommend a few good new actors for me. You recommended Hu Jun, Guo Tao, and Zhang Jiayi. …”

"Xiao Hu is amazing now. Although the starring role in "The Legend of Concubine Wan Gui" is average in Europe and the United States, it has grossed 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars at the global box office. He is the leading male lead, but in "Blood" he was hired to play the role of the drug lord Wang Hai. Professional killer boss, I’ve made a lot of money from this bargain.”

"Brother Jian, the two red envelopes here are for you and Xiao Hu. As long as you are willing to perform on the road, you will not be treated badly afterwards. By the way, you can't sing, but Awen can. She is a singer herself."

In this version (The Bloody Two), Chow Yun-fat is still the killer Xiao Zhuang, and Zhang Zhijian replaces Li Xiuxian as the policeman Li Ying. The two of them are the two heroes.

The heroine is still Ye Qianwen.

What makes Xiang Laoshi ecstatic is Hu Jun and Zhang Jiayi. Now one of them is the male lead in ancient costume historical facts and love legend movies, and Zhang Jiayi is one of the Kaifeng F4 in the popular movie bombing East and Southeast Asia (Bao Qingtian).

It is basically impossible to lose money on this movie based on the appeal of this star cast. If it does more road shows, such as traveling to the hometowns of mainland actors such as Jingcheng, Nandu, Chang'an, etc., will the appeal be worse?

After all, the movie was waiting to be scheduled at the beginning of the year, and it has been waiting until September!

Zhang Zhijian waved his hands repeatedly and resisted several times. In the end, he couldn't bear Lao Shi's enthusiasm, so he reluctantly accepted the red envelope. Then, the road show...

In the past, there were basically no roadshows for Hong Kong movies, just singers holding concerts. However, serious roadshows can be traced back to the 1910s and 1920s, and the film industry's roadshows began in Europe and the United States.

Just like in the original track, before the movie of Hong Jinbao and others was released on Hong Kong Island, somersaults and martial arts routines were played on ATV on the TV station. This is also one of the road show situations. It is just that Hong Kong Island is too small and does not need to travel from city to city. go.

Zhou Runfa also agreed with a wry smile.

He always felt that this was Xiang Laoshi using another way to involve celebrities, and he once again launched a new way of involution, but giving money? Um?

Seeing that both of them agreed, Xiang Laoshi continued to pour tea, "You all agree and have time, so it will be easy. I will arrange for Lao Wu to contact the officials from various places in the mainland. If you want a road show, you must have someone from the mainland." It only takes support from the leadership.”

"Whether it involves flights, reception schedules, or arranging venues, if the creative team can chat and play directly with the audience, reporters, media friends, there must be support."

Today is only August 28th, which is still early before September 10th. I can contact you more than ten days in advance to make arrangements and plan the itinerary.

He had never played it before, so he still squeezed the ideas and plans that Old Wu came up with.

Talking about Xiang Laoshi makes me want to vomit blood. I took over Lao Wu's contract in 1987 and held it in my hand for more than three years. I only made one movie after Ma was so desperate. Even before it was released, I encountered such cruel competition for schedules. .

Who can he talk to for reason? !

Think about Wang Jiawei's (Days of Being Wild). Although it was said that it was finished and produced, Xiang Laoshi went to take a look and couldn't understand what the guy was filming. Ah Fei was also ill-fated. At first The protagonists of Hua Zai, Ah Rong and Miao Qiaowei, are both supporting actors.

After patting Hua Zai, Ah Rong ran away after a few months of depression. Wang Jiawei started taking various pictures of Miao Qiaowei...

After being patted, Amiao ran away and escaped from the trap.

Then Wang Jiawei waits on the left, waits on the right, even if Ah Wing finishes filming (Farewell My Concubine), he is rushing to enter (The Voice of Asia). What kind of variety show is that? What level of singing competition is it? ?

Even if (The Voice of Asia) is coming to an end step by step, what awaits Ah Wing is another concert tour, with the addition of Xu Ke (The Golden Globe) as the leading actor? ?

Wang Jiawei went back to his old film library and edited a complete movie from various discarded and discarded films...

There has been no news for several months, and no one has returned to cooperate with Lao Wang in making a movie. Suddenly I got news that (Days of Being Wild) has been filmed? Xiang Laoshi was confused and at a loss when he heard the news.

After he took over the master tape and watched it again, "..."

He was too embarrassed to send the finished film to ATV and wait for a schedule.

He watched it three times, pondering over and over again, and realized that this seemed to be a movie about something between men and women? Is that right? Is it? I love you, you love him?

It's nothing more than a strange connection between Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua and Miao Qiaowei.

In other words, Liu Dehua protects Lao Wang, which is not considered protection. Brother Hua has a sense of loyalty that he has made an appointment with the director himself. Even if he falls into the trap, he must maintain his sense of loyalty and accept his defeat. Otherwise, Xiang Laoshi would have had his legs broken long ago. .

After Xiang Laoshi saw off Fa Ge and Zhang Zhijian and returned to the office, Wu Yusen came over to pour tea, "Brother Shi, I have a new idea, but I don't know if you dare to invest in it?"

Xiang Laoshi was stunned and stared at Lao Wu, "You tell me, I'll listen first."

Old Wu took a long breath, "Nowadays, real blockbusters still need big productions and big scenes. The Jurassic series, Spider-Man series, including Wanted, all cost 5.6 billion US dollars per movie. Three or four One billion Hong Kong dollars at the box office."

"Just talking about the box office, (Let the Bullets Fly) is far behind compared to Jurassic."

Xiang Laoshi waved his hand decisively to interrupt, "Let's get to the point!"

Why does he feel a little uneasy?

Old Wu coughed and said, "I heard that Warner or Murdoch once offered to spend tens of millions of dollars, or even 20 million dollars to buy out the rights to the (Titanic) movie from Zhao Films. Brother Ten, you Have you heard of it?”

Xiang Laoshi also took a long breath of cold air, "I've heard about it vaguely, but Zhao Sheng rejected it. It seems that Zhao Sheng wants to invest in the script. Does he want 10% or 20% of the global movie box office share? If it is based on a blockbuster Six to seven billion U.S. dollars."

"Doesn't a copyright cost 60 to 70 million U.S. dollars? After paying the tax, it will be a net profit?"

It's really crazy to dare to talk like a lion about a copyright, but there is a Guilao Group willing to buy it! It seems like a starting price of tens of millions of dollars? ? No matter how specific he was, he never confirmed it.

I can’t confirm it. Who can I ask? ?

Lao Wu said excitedly, "When I was waiting for the schedule of (The Bloody Heroes), I actually checked some information. We definitely couldn't afford Zhao Films' (Titanic). It was based on the real Titanic in 1912. A best-selling novel based on the shipwreck disaster."

"In the past five or six years, we have probably sold 10 to 20 million copies worldwide. How many book fans are there?"

"But I discovered that in 1949, we also had the Taiping incident in the East. It was also a shipwreck, a disaster, and some love stories mixed in casually? Isn't it right??"

"As long as you dare to invest, Brother Ten, I will shoot it!"

Xiang Lao Shi took a deep breath again and looked at Old Wu in disbelief. Old Wu had a calm and calm look on his face, "Wars and disasters, love and life and death, super shipwreck scenes, whatever you want is available."

He is very confident, after all, he and Wang Jiawei are different!

Lao Wang’s movie (Days of Being Wild) didn’t even have a script. It took more than two years to complete after many people were tricked.

Where is he, Lao Wu? Xu Ke has been banned for more than two years because he offended Xu Ke. The two films before being banned (The True Colors of a Hero) were not enough to prove his ability as a great director? Although the first movie after the lockdown was lifted (Bloodshed), it was troubled.

But after the filming is over, it’s definitely not difficult to make a buck!

Lao Wu is also a man of great enlightenment. These days, if he wants to stand out, he wants to make a name for himself, and only by making blockbusters and big projects can he completely rise to prominence.

Lao Wu and Xiang Lao Shi looked at each other for more than a minute before Lao Shi lit up a cigarette again and said, "Making a blockbuster movie is very exciting. How much do you think we need to invest?"

Wu Yusen was also very decisive, "Boss, if you want to sell 500 million Hong Kong dollars in global box office, you have to invest at least 100 million. If you want to sell 1 billion, I guess you have to invest 200 million?"

Xiang Laoshi turned pale when he said this, and he hurriedly explained, "This is different from Brother Hua's (Big Shot/Crazy Givenchy), which is an action movie. Brother Hua's action star brand is very bright, and there are Countless fans of his action movies support him.”

"There is also Hong Kong Island Fashion Week. News about Givenchy's real-life brand's commercial war have become popular around the world, and its publicity power is boundless."

"When we shoot shipwrecks, wars, disasters, love, life and death, the cost of special effects and models even exceeds the salaries of stars..."

"But once the film is finished, we not only have the box office, but also video tapes and peripherals. Boss, didn't you promote the red wine brand you established in the mainland in "Blood"? Taiping Wheel can also promote the red wine brand."

Xiang Laoshi took a deep breath again and said, "It's a bit exciting. Please let me slow down for a while. By the way, you should finish the script first. I'm considering whether to shoot or not."

Opening the door costs 100 million or 200 million? Did he play this alone? Even if he relied on (big shots) to provide 60% of the profits to Zhao Sheng, he still made hundreds of millions.

Lao Wu was very powerful, "Xu Ke even tricked Zou Sheng into filming (New Shushan Swordsman) before he met Zhao, tenth brother!"

………………

One Hundred Years Pictures.

In Brother Hua's office, when Ah Hua looked at the script sent by the King of Sunglasses, (Ashes of Time and West Poison)? Hua Zai, who was drinking coffee, covered his mouth and tried to calm down for a few moments before he forced a smile and said, "Wei, you filmed a movie called Ah Fei from August 1988 to August 1990..."

"Although I don't think you are wasting your time. You can also try sending this film to Cannes or Berlin Film Festival next year to see if it can compete for awards."

"But this evil thing? Why don't you take it easy first and take a break?"

The King of Sunglasses is also quite hurt. If you want to be fired, just tell me... But he also knows that if Hua Zai hadn't protected him, the bosses of dynamic social groups like Deng Yurong and Xiang Laoshi would not have taken this breath easily. .

So Lao Wang also explained seriously, "Brother Hua, how about this? I'll ask Liu Zhenwei to shoot a version first? You know that Awei is a quick shooter. As long as the actors' schedules are suitable, it can be completed in two months at the latest."

"I have always been good friends with that Ah Wei. He is willing to come from Debao to help me shoot once. I will be the producer and he will be the director."

Hua Zai didn't feel sleepy anymore when he mentioned this. Since Liu Zhenwei joined Debao, he has produced two Ghost series and one Gambler series, which one is not a huge profit? ? To say that he is a quick shooter and has a keen sense of business is really not nonsense at this stage.

In the original track, Wang Jiawei and Lao Liu started a company together and started filming "Ashes of Time". They continued filming on and off for two and a half years. Investors were so anxious that they had blisters on their lips. The pressure to raise funds was too great. When filming Wang Zuxian, he almost retreated from the circle and stopped filming.

Only then did Yang Caini be temporarily arrested to replace her.

Anyway, Lao Wang worked hard on "Ashes of Time" for so long, and in the end, all that was left in the edit was a side-view of a woman opposite Dong Xi.

On the other hand, Liu Zhenwei was rushed, and with the original team, he completed the film in less than a month (everything went well), and it was released. In that film, Lao Wang was one of the heroines, and the box office was not bad. There were no Cheng Long, Ajie and Zhou Xingxing's movies also grossed more than 22 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

Liu Dehua took another sip of coffee, "Who do you want to use this time?"

Wang Jiawei said quickly, "Brother A Rong, Xue You, Brother Jiahui, Lin Qingxia, Liu Xiaoli, Zhang Manyu, Xiao Yingying?? Of course, if you come to act, Brother Hua..."

Liu Dehua coughed twice hurriedly, "I don't have a schedule. I have to go on a concert tour in the past two months. Brother Ah Rong's schedule is also very unscheduled. He has accepted the role of (Golden House), and Brother Jiahui is busy (Dongpo Flood Control). "

"Forget it, I'll help you contact the schedule slowly. Even if we can get the main cast together, it will probably be after October."

After chatting with Wang Jiawei for a while, he asked his secretary to send Lao Wang off. After thinking about it, Hua Zai was still a little nervous, "This guy is becoming more and more unreliable. He said it was a script, but he only had an outline..."

"You want to go to the desert to shoot scenes? It's expected to happen in half a year. If it weren't for Liu Zhenwei's version, I would really..."

That's right, after continuing to chat in depth, he realized that this was another rough script without a complete story. It would take roughly half a year to shoot in the northwest desert? ?

As for the finished film (Days of Being Wild), Andy Lau was embarrassed to send it to ATV to ask for a schedule. He also watched the film, and to be honest, he didn’t understand much. It seemed like a love affair between a man and a woman, polyamory? Write about pursuit and loss?

Writing about prodigal scumbags and deceived women? ? What about crazy men and women?

At first glance, it looks quite artistic, but I can’t understand the bells and whistles. It’s better not to submit it for review. This year, the devil’s schedule has always been to kill people. I’ll wait until next year to try to win the prize.

If you can claim the prize, go find a schedule.

It’s better to make a phone call and make an appointment with Brother Sanmao first to talk about inviting Liu Zhenwei to come and film the movie One Hundred Years. Maybe Lao Wang has already reached an agreement with Lao Liu, but he should personally inquire with Debao like Sanmao and Cen Jianxun. It is still necessary to talk to others.

………………

September arrives as scheduled, on the 3rd.

At the end of this summer season, the world is still dominated by the time-travel version (Ip Man 2). Ip Man 2, which has been released for 18 days so far, has only earned US$120 million in Europe and the United States combined. This is compared with the US$260 million of the first film in Europe and America combined. , the data is cut in half.

However, Ip Man 2 performed strongly in East and Southeast Asia, and the mainland made a fortune of 490 million yuan in 18 days! Hong Kong's Haowan has a box office of 90 million, South Korea has a box office of 210 million Hong Kong dollars, and Thailand has a box office of 270 million Hong Kong dollars.

As far as Thailand is concerned, there are more than 8 million Thais, including tourists to Thailand, who have watched Ip Man 2 in 18 days. With such a population in Thailand, this performance is not bad, but it is not too outrageous.

This is the cumulative bonus of three previous games! This is equivalent to Cheng Long’s transformation and improvement from Police Story 1 to Police Story 4.

(Ip Man) The entire series is now finished as a whole.

On the morning of the 3rd, Zhao Donghuai ate a tea egg peeled by Zhou Huimin and drank a mouthful of spicy soup. When he was about to read the documents, Wang Zuxian came over with a surprised look on his face and said, "Boss, Yongsheng, Ying Zhijie, including the people from Zhushe , all crazy.”

"They plan to jointly invest 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which is still the estimated standard, to make a film (Tai Ping Wheel), similar to the Oriental (Titanic), and ask Wu Yusen and Lan Naicai to jointly direct it."

"The script was written by Wu. By the way, this is a report. It says that the application has been approved. When it is released, can you take advantage of the promotion of (Titanic)?"

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

He looked at Xiaoxian in surprise, "Really?"

Xiaoxian nodded, "That is to say, if they are allowed to take advantage of the announcement of (Titanic), they will spend a lot of money to do big things. Zhushe Wang Yu and Ke Junxiong will start shooting (The King of Power) in February, and the filming period of that movie is It’s finished.”

"But we are still working on the special effects. It is estimated that the special effects will be ready next year..."

"Are you stimulated by big special effects productions? Do you also want to make a lot of money and earn US dollars?? When Murdoch came to buy the (Titanic) script for his Fox Films, the asking price was US$5 million. Let's start with the knife."

Zhao Donghuai was speechless for a while.

Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "Isn't this too crazy? To make a big science fiction movie with big special effects, which Jurassic series didn't spend about 100 million on model production and base preparation? Not to mention the actors' remuneration, the later stage Computer special effects."

"Including those supercomputers that are constantly being updated, which supercomputer is cheaper? There are also huge labor costs."

After such an explanation, Xiaoxian was shocked and said, "That's not wrong. Is it just a group of socially active groups playing such a big role?"

"Director Xu, Director Mai, including Director Wang Jing, who would dare to spend so much money on such a huge special effects scene?"

Zhao Donghuai picked up the spicy soup and took another sip, "Only Lao Wu is definitely unreliable, and I'm not looking down on him. He is very good at filming gangs, gun battles, and police and criminals, but wars and disasters like the Taiping Rebellion..."

"He is unprofessional."

"But the Xiang family, Deng Yurong and Wang Yu also invited Director Lan??"

Who is Lan Naicai? From the beginning of "Super Body" to "The End of the World" including "Spider-Man 1", Hong Kong directors have always been at the forefront of special effects production, even if they started working for Zhao Donghuai.

He is also the top special effects film director in Hong Kong Island.

Xiaoxian nodded, "Yes, from February to now for more than half a year, Director Lan worked with Wang Yu and Ke Junxiong to shoot (The King of Power). The shooting went very smoothly and the cooperation was quite pleasant??"

"They are still waiting for the special effects to be completed to announce a wave of low-budget horror thrillers for Europe and the United States."

Zhao Donghuai thought for a minute and nodded, "Okay, if you want to take advantage of the project that others have already decided on, you can take advantage of the east wind. Anyway, we won't be filming (Titanic) in the short term. Let them make a dozen Eastern versions of (Titanic)." It’s no problem to use your name for publicity.”

(Titan) books have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. It is one of the real best-sellers. Even though this is a sales volume accumulated over five years, it is far inferior to Twilight, House of Cards, A Song of Ice and Fire, and even Harry Porter sells well.

When Xiaoxian walked back to make a phone call, Amin curiously handed over a grape, "Do you think this project is profitable?"

Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "I'm not sure, but give it a try. Whether it succeeds depends on which of the two directors has more power."

It was an accident that the filming was completed. At most, Xiaoxian was shocked. How dare a group of socially energetic groups dare to shoot such a blockbuster? ? The shooting was ruined... A group of big brothers lost 100 to 200 million, but they were compensated together, and each one only lost tens of millions.

Let him think about it. How much money did he lose from the two parts of the original track Lao Wu Pai (Taiping Wheel)? ? But there are profits and losses in making movies, just like doing business.

Until the final reveal, who knows? Really, Zhao Donghuai himself is hard to predict, and Lan Naicai is also one of the directors.

And at this stage, when it comes to science fiction blockbusters and special effects films, Director Lan’s reputation and prestige are inferior to those of Lao Wu, okay? Xiang Laoshi, Deng Yurong, and Wang Yu all have the brains to know who to support when talking about issues.

Jurassic Park 2, which just grossed US$650 million at the global box office during the summer season, is one of the top five directors. It is Robert who made the hit movie "Back to the Future" in Hollywood. He also studied on the set of Jurassic Park 2. Let’s take a look at Lao Lan’s shooting method.

I learned some unsophisticated techniques like hanging wires before returning to Hollywood to film (Spider-Man 1).

Let's put it this way, he doesn't know who originally proposed this idea, and Xiaoxian didn't say it before, but if it is filmed and becomes a big hit, everyone will probably think that it is Lan Naicai who has the skill and skill to complete a blockbuster.

The shooting was a mess, and a group of big brothers lost one to two hundred million in blood... 80% of the time it was Lao Wu who took the blame.

Zhao Donghuai hasn't directed for a long time. Jurassic Park 2, Wanted 1, etc., weren't they all produced by Lan Naicai, Huang Jianxin, Hong Yinbao, etc.? ? Also (The King of Power), this version of King of Power was independently directed by Lao Lan.

As long as Amei operates well and adopts a movie model similar to (Resident Evil) and (Saw), the probability of returning the money or even making a lot of money is very high.

The only problem is that even if it is Lan Naicai, it is mostly Zhao Donghuai who controls the script, sets the tone, and determines the special effects... Is Lao Lan filming a true love disaster in war history? ? He didn't seem familiar with it either.

When it comes to wars, disasters, plots, etc., Wu Yusen is the one who fights and fails every time, from Wind Talker to Red Cliff Upper and Lower Parts, to Taiping Wheel Upper and Lower Parts.

There are two directors this time, so will Taiping Wheel be made into two parts?
