Hong Kong Slices of the World As Salted Fish

　　The overseas box office is multiplied by 3 according to the average level of Hong Kong film sales, and the total box office of "Die Hard" will definitely exceed 3 million.

　　At the same time, the film's reputation has exploded.

　　Long Wei's role in this film is mainly responsible for laughing, and all the fighting scenes are supported by Ni Xiaoxian alone. 420

　　Just when other movies are still stuck at the level where you punch me and kick me, and it takes several minutes to knock down a person, the fast and fierce fighting style of "Die Hard" makes the audience shine.

　　There is no Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten for a long time. When he moves his hand, he kills him with one move. He punches to the flesh, and there is no urine in the whole process. The audience is hooked.

　　The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

　　The inside story of the filming of this film was spread from the mouths of the members of the Long family, and it is no longer a secret in the circle.

　　The fighting scenes seen in the movie are all real fights, which makes those who have been martial artists all their lives shake their heads.

　　If you want to imitate this movie, first of all, the protagonist must be really good at fighting like Ni Xiaoxian, and secondly, there must be enough martial artists who can endure the fight.

　　Otherwise, when a movie is filmed, the protagonist destroys himself, or the martial artist is beaten to death and maimed more than a dozen. This is not realistic at all, and no crew can bear it.

　　At least from the production, everyone has come to a conclusion that the shooting method of "Die Hard" is basically impossible to copy and promote.

　　This makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief, at least not because of this movie, everyone will lose their jobs.

　　Of course, don't even think about following the trend to make money.

　　On the contrary, a group of film companies have seen the trend of police and gangster movies from the publicity of this film.

　　Especially a police and bandit movie like "Die Hard", which is based on real events, doesn't need much publicity at all, and the popularity is on the rise.

　　In the final analysis, this is because the public security situation on Hong Kong Island is getting worse and worse, and the general public is very concerned about this issue. Against this background, it is not surprising that police and gangster movies have become popular.

　　Heroes in troubled times!

　　In such a situation of unstable public security, this superhero police image will become particularly popular on the big screen, not to mention that Ni Xiaoxian in the film is a real policeman.

　　In conjunction with the release of this movie, the Hong Kong Island police are also vigorously promoting several major cases that Ni Xiaoxian has solved. In and outside the movie, he has become a real superhero policeman.

　　This made Ni Xiaoxian gain a lot of fans overnight, and also received olive branches from many film companies.

　　Some film company bosses even offered [-] million yuan to invite Ni Xiaoxian to start the show, and they said that the heroine could be chosen, and Ni Xiaoxian would ask whoever he likes to play.

　　After listening to the news that Charlie Cao heard, Long Wei waved his hand indifferently.

　　"It's only [-] million to ask my master to make a movie. Are these film company bosses so funny?"

　　Long Bo proudly drank his pipe and agreed with Long Wei's words.

　　"Die Hard" was released for two weeks, and the box office has exceeded 4000 million (dadh). At the beginning, the media shouted the slogan that the box office exceeded [-] million. Now it seems that it is really only a matter of time.

　　Looking back at his decision to force Long Wei to be a teacher now, even Long Bo admires his vision.

　　Long Wei is also very fortunate, although he is not the absolute protagonist of this film, but with the box office explosion of this film, his status in the circle has also risen with the tide.

　　In the past, it took a lot of effort for those female stars to go to bed. Now, as long as you hook your fingers, these women will wash them clean and bring them to your door immediately.

　　During this time, Longwei's life was more comfortable than that of a fairy.

　　"Aaron, last time you told me that you wanted to give Officer Ni 5000 million box office dividends, is it true?"

　　If the combined domestic and overseas box office of "Die Hard" exceeds 1 million, Longwei will probably be able to earn [-] million after taking out the cost of filming and publicity.

　　Long Wei decided to give half of it to Ni Xiaoxian, which made Charlie Cao very painful.

　　"Of course, I still think 5000 million is too little. With Master's ability, if you don't become a police officer, you will definitely have money to be a star!"

　　Long Bo took down his pipe and nodded: "Aaron is right, one should never forget one's roots, not to mention that without Officer Ni, this film would not have achieved the results it is now, even if it was directed at him at the Cointreau Hotel. Saved Aaron's life, the 5000 million is not much."

　　"That's right, how could my life be worth only 5000 million? If it wasn't for the trouble that the ICAC gang would find Master, I would have given all the money I made from this movie to Master."

　　Although Charlie Cao was envious in his heart, he also knew that Ni Xiaoxian fought it out with his life.

　　With the gratitude of Long Bo and Long Wei to Ni Xiaoxian, 5000 million is really not much.

　　The next day, Long Bo and Long Wei visited Ni Xiaoxian's house together and took out an acceptance check from Standard Chartered Bank.

　　Worried that Ni Xiaoxian would not accept it, Long Bo also specifically explained that the money was counted as a box-office dividend for Die Hard, and that even if the ICAC investigates in the future, it will be well-founded and will not bring any trouble to Ni Xiaoxian.

　　Long Wei also helped and persuaded him: "Yes, Master, if you don't accept the money, why would I be so embarrassed to ask you to be the lead actor when the second film of "Die Hard 2" was filmed?"

　　Ni Xiaoxian took the check and handed it to He Min without looking at it, asking her to keep it.

　　"Do you still want to make a second film?"

　　"Of course, for such a profitable movie, wouldn't it be a waste not to make the second one?"

　　"But I didn't say I would make another movie!"

　　In a word, both Long Wei and Long Bo were stunned.

　　Even He Min felt a little surprised, but it was inconvenient to speak right now.

　　Ni Xiaoxian shrugged, and clearly told the three in front of him that the filming of "Die Hard" was because of the superior's order, and he did not plan to take any more movies in the future. .

Chapter 139 Hong Kong Film World Shooting Hong Kong Films (1/6)

　　Ni Xiaoxian is very clear that his foundation in the Hong Kong film world is the salted fish system.

　　The original filming of "Die Hard" was just to trigger the main story tasks related to Longwei.

　　[-] million dividends can only be said to be an unexpected joy.

　　Although he is no longer going to act in movies, this incident reminds Ni Xiaoxian.

　　Investing in movies is indeed a way to make money.

　　Right now is the golden age of Hong Kong films. Even the underworld is rushing into the arena to make money. The police station receives at least one or two reports every day. Either a certain crew was threatened by a gang, or someone on the crew was cut down by a gang.

　　In the newspapers, you can often see that director XX was forced to start a show with a gun pointed at his head, and a popular star received an invitation to play with bullets. It can be seen that the current film industry is really making money, more than selling white powder.

　　Although Ni Xiaoxian is not a triad, it is more difficult for him to make money legally than a triad.

　　All of this stems from the Hong Kong Island Independent Commission Against Corruption's strict supervision of police officers' corruption.

　　The Hong Kong Island Police used to be synonymous with corruption. From the late 60s to the early 70s, the entire Hong Kong Island Police Force obtained 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in stolen money from pornography, gambling and drugs, and more than 90% of the police officers were suspected of corruption. .

　　The Independent Commission Against Corruption was established mainly to solve this problem.

　　Up to now, the Hong Kong Island police are still the focus of the ICAC's supervision, which is why Ni Xiaoxian's first thing after winning 2 million in a horse was to report to the ICAC.

　　The ICAC will not be embarrassed by buying a horse to win the lottery, which is purely based on luck, but in addition, any income of the Hong Kong Island Police, other than wages, will be strictly monitored by the ICAC.

　　You can't even buy stocks for investment, because you will be suspected of insider trading and benefit transmission.

　　It is easy for Hong Kong Island police to make black money, but it is almost impossible to escape the supervision of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, unless the money is never spent.

　　Reasonable and legal ways to make money that will not be pursued by the ICAC

　　This is the same as the principle of money laundering in underworld movies.

　　After listening to Ni Xiaoxian's plan, Long Bo took the pipe from his mouth in surprise.

　　"What, Officer Ni, do you want to invest in making movies?"

　　"Yeah, it just happened that I got 5000 million dividends this time. It's better to save it in the bank and come out to invest in filming."

　　"Master, I will support your decision with both hands and feet! In the future, you will invest in my dramas, and I will be the starring role. We will split the box office equally!"

　　Long Wei looked excited.

　　Fortunately, Charlie Cao was not present, otherwise his face would have turned green on the spot when he heard this.

　　Everyone in the film industry now knows that Longwei is a cash cow. As long as the movies he starred in, it will definitely sell well, and even if it is the box office share, Longwei should take the big buck.

　　"You want to make a movie, but it's not that you have no money to invest. As a master, I have to make money by taking advantage of my apprentices. How embarrassing to say it? ."

　　Long Bo picked up his pipe, his face full of relief.

　　Originally, Ni Xiaoxian had a great favor to their father and son, and it didn't matter if Ni Xiaoxian took advantage of it when they cooperated, but such cooperation can only be temporary and not forever.

　　To maintain a long-term relationship, either do not involve interests;

　　Ni Xiaoxian refused Longwei's proposal for cooperation, but he was actually doing this.

　　"Officer Ni, there are no outsiders here. If you have any ideas, you can tell me. Long Wei and I can help you to learn more about it."

　　After Long Bo finished speaking, Long Wei nodded immediately.

　　"That's right, Master, fat and water don't flow to outsiders. If you really have some good ideas, wouldn't it be better to work with me?"

　　"Actually, I was also inspired by the box office explosion of "Die Hard". The law and order situation on Hong Kong Island has not been stable, and the corresponding police and gangster films will have a great market among audiences, especially films based on real cases. ."

　　Long Bo smoked his pipe in silence.

　　Ni Xiaoxian said that he had thought of this for a long time, but the problem is that those major cases are strictly blocked by the police, and it is very difficult to know the inside story of the case.

· 0 for flowers

　　Another one is not to play the banner based on the so-and-so case, and the public will definitely believe it.

　　For example, the reason why "Die Hard" was able to attract the popularity of the jewelry hijacking case in the Cointreau Hotel this time is because Longwei was a witness to the incident, and his appearance is very convincing. A star policeman also endorsed this matter.

　　If it is just an adaptation of catching the wind, the effect will be greatly reduced.

　　"Master, I think your idea is very good. You don't need to find another case, just adapt the case you solved. I believe that the box office will not be bad."

　　Long Wei is not as deep as Long Bo thinks, he just thinks Ni Xiaoxian's idea is very good.

 …  

　　Patronizingly flattering, but by mistake, he told Ni Xiaoxian's true thoughts.

　　Long Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed that he was really confused.

　　Sitting in front of him is a policeman who has repeatedly solved major cases. In terms of understanding of the case, who else can compare to him?

　　Seeing that Long Bo had already guessed his thoughts, Ni Xiaoxian no longer concealed it.

　　"Since I graduated from the police academy, I have solved 6 major cases in total. Except for the Cointreau Hotel jewelry hijacking case, which has been made into a movie, the remaining 5 cases can be adapted into movies. I have already thought about the story. , the Edinburgh Middle School hijacking case and the Adam Smith International School terrorist case can be made into a series of undercover police officers, I have already thought of the name, it is called "Fighting Dragon"!"

　　Seeing He Min looking at him with an odd look, Ni Xiaoxian quickly clarified that the movie had been greatly adapted from a real case.

　　In fact, there was no adaptation at all. Ni Xiaoxian just changed the names of the characters in "Fighting Dragon 1" and "Fighting Dragon 2" in later generations, and the plot was completely copied.

　　Because he was the most important character, even if He Min, who witnessed the incident, heard it, the plot of the movie was very different from the real case.

　　Looking at Long Wei and Long Bo's confused and shocked expressions, Ni Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel a little proud.
