Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

October 7th.

On the sixth floor of an old building facing the street in Kowloon Tong, Zhou Xingxing, Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun stepped out of the elevator. As soon as they saw Cheng Xiaodong and Lin Zhengying standing there chatting in the corridor ahead, the three of them all stepped forward at a faster pace.

"Director Cheng!"

"Hello, Director Cheng!"

…

Under the greeting, Cheng Xiaodong looked happy, "Are you here too? This is Director Lin. Brother Sanmao's right-hand man is much more powerful than me. The Five Lucky Stars are Director Lin's action guide."

Zhou Xingxing and the others immediately greeted Lin Zhengying respectfully and politely, as if they were getting to know Lin Zhengying again.

Today is the 16th day of New World’s release! The box office has accumulated more than 13 million in the previous 13 days, which is a huge hit.

But in most people's minds, the potential of New World should have been almost exhausted. After that, the box office should continue to decline, and the attendance rate of many cinemas should also drop until it is released.

Based on the previous data, New World will definitely be able to squeeze into the top of the 1983 box office list, but the specific position is still uncertain. It is only the beginning of October, one of the most important dates of the year, the Lunar New Year block. It came again more than a month later.

Surprisingly, the day before yesterday, the fourteenth day, New World still had a box office of more than 800,000, a very small drop. Yesterday, the fifteenth day, it also had a box office of more than 700,000.

This is nearly 15 million box office, 15 days!

What's more, the day before yesterday and yesterday were Wednesday and Thursday, working days.

This is the third-largest film of the year among the released films, and it is still far away from the second place of Five Lucky Stars with 21.9 million. However, it is already in the middle and late stages of release, and the box office is still so stable, which really surprised many people.

Before Zhou Xingxing and others arrived, Lin Zhengying and Cheng Xiaodong were talking about this topic.

After the greeting, Zhou Xingxing said excitedly, "Director Cheng, our New World has great box office stamina. I went to Temple Street with Ah Wei last night. Even at many roadside stalls in Temple Street, there were bosses shouting, "New World has the same style." The suit made me laugh."

Wu Zhenyu said excitedly, "Isn't it? When you go to shopping malls now, whether it's high-end or roadside stores, or street stalls like Temple Street, there are too many people shouting about the same style as the New World, and selling these new suits to customers. "

"There are also many young people wearing it on the street. Many of them are stunned for a moment without having seen the movie. They are promoting it for us in disguise!"

Cheng Xiaodong burst into laughter, and Lin Zhengying shook her head in confusion, "In the later stage of the promotion of Zhao Sheng's drama, apart from Fa Ge and others running announcements and appearing on TV shows, many clothing stores and vendors in Hong Kong are also helping to promote it. No wonder it has so much stamina. "

"If we wait until the weekend, the box office will probably explode even more."

The strong stamina of New World is really related to the clothing stores and vendors in Hong Kong who have caught wind of the trend.

To use a word from later generations to describe it, this has become popular!

In order to make money, clothes sellers sell this style to customers when they meet customers. In addition, the new suits really highlight the Asian figure, making the male figure more slender and straight, making him look more handsome.

It is indeed more popular with customers.

Forget about those who want to look good after watching the movie and go out to buy new clothes. Many people who did not watch the movie and just bought clothes or went shopping will also be affected.

There are also the entire New World, too many handsome boys, too many handsome men, a full-fledged hormonal dark idol feeling, not to mention the young and Dangerous boys and girls on the street, some students on campus also often go to the second place After three brushes, they were still in groups.

This box office stamina has exceeded many people’s expectations.

It’s already the third week of working days and there are still 700,000 to 800,000 box office. On the weekend, there are even some days before the Double Ninth Festival, and it is a holiday. If it is released after the Double Ninth Festival, it will be released, let alone 15 million. .

With the current trend, there may not be any hope of unseating the Five Lucky Stars!

Lin Zhengying didn't know what to say.

After the words, several people chatted for a few more words, and they were in a good mood. They saw Zhao Donghuai and two young and middle-aged people also walking out of the elevator. When everyone saw it, they immediately greeted them with a smile.

Director Zhao also greeted politely, "Sir Cheng, Aying, Xingzai, I called you here today to prepare for my next play."

In a word, everyone was excited and happy, even Lin Zhengying, who had been invited to the Five Lucky Stars celebration banquet, was also very excited.

He really never thought about asking him to be the first male lead in a new play before.

After greeting him politely, he invited a few people into a large office on the sixth floor. This is the headquarters of Zhao's International Trading, and it is also the temporary office of Zhao's Pictures.

Most of the house, which totals more than 200 square meters, is empty. There are some office equipment and cameras randomly placed in the large office area.

At first glance, the appearance is similar to the place where Liang Kun invited Chen Haonan to his film company to negotiate a role in Young and Dangerous 1, and where he took the little stammerer to try out the scene.

In the big office, everyone was given mineral water one by one. Zhao Donghuai took out a stack of papers from his backpack, all of which were contracts.

"My new movie is an action movie. I can't explain the specific shooting style and action effects at the moment... I'm here with you today. It's a real shot. I'll edit it in post-production and make a complete sample video."

"When the filming officially starts and everyone has seen the samples, it will be easier to design and direct action in the same vein."

"Before this, please sign a confidentiality agreement."

A group of people looked at each other, looking at Director Zhao speechless. After a few dozen seconds, Xingzai held a mineral water under his left arm and brought out a confidentiality agreement, "Thank you, director, I'll sign it."

As soon as Xingzi moved, Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun hurriedly followed.

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Don't rush to sign the contract, look carefully before signing, right, Ayu."

Ayu reacted slower than Xingzai this time... There's nothing wrong with him. It's not like he hasn't seen how Director Zhao made people sign random things.

When Wu Zhenyu laughed awkwardly and was at a loss, Zhao Donghuai continued to send the confidentiality agreement to Cheng Xiaodong, the two photographers and Lin Zhengying, "Read it carefully before signing. Don't sign randomly when you are out. If something happens, you can cry if you want." Don’t come out.”

Wu Zhenyu, "..."

Xingzi, "..."

…………

After a while, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement and stood in the open space of the big office. Zhao Donghuai explained, "The action style of the new movie I want to shoot is going to be realistic, similar to the kung fu comedy of Brother Sanmao and Brother Long. Big difference."

"The style of screening is derived from Krav Maga in Israel. It is a military unarmed combat system. The way of teaching national defense combat there, even at this stage, there are also many CIA and FBI from Amei's family who go to Learn this kind of fighting over there.”

"Then Amei also plans to promote it on a large scale in military and police law enforcement departments."

"The characteristics of these movements are that you can defeat the enemy with one move and never waste the second move. Hit the Yang, throat and other vital parts as hard as you can. You can use knives and sticks to fight against the enemy. If you have that condition, you will never use bare hands. .”

"If there are too many people, turn around and run."

"Actually, it's similar to a street fight where you just want to win, but you have to be quick and precise in your attacks!"

Following Director Zhao's explanation, a group of people looked at each other again. Cheng Xiaodong and Lin Zhengying were both speechless. This was really realistic!

This is very different from the Peking Opera practice and big-screen fighting they have been exposed to since childhood. Have you never heard that it is the style of military police or even street fighting? It’s similar to a club opening film, right?

After being speechless for a while, Lin Zhengying asked curiously, "Director, realistic style... can this look good when shot??"

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "So, this also places great demands on the shooting style. If the styles don't match, it will be difficult to shoot good-looking. It's easy to say that the styles match."

"Next, Xingzai, you guys will practice first. When we fight A Ying later, two photographers and I will take the photos. We will take a look at the samples. Only after the samples are taken will everyone have an idea of ​​how to work hard."
