Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 115
On August 19, Luo Junyan finished the post-production of “Gunfire” with delay, and had to wait for the deadline if it was finished ahead of schedule.
After that, Luo Junyan took Huo Wenxi to South Korea. Inspect the construction of the base, and connect with the “Yuan” mode operation plan of the suspended island.
Huo Wenxi is no longer the little girl back then. During the journey, she always held Luo Junyan’s arm, insisting on acting as a couple, always thinking about taking advantage of Luo Junyan’s advantage.
Luo Junyan beat and scolded her. He was a little worried that Huo Wenxi would be polluted by the “Yu Yuan” environment. The entertainment industry is just a big dyeing tank, so don’t follow those female stars to learn bad things.
Xu Jinheng’s self-appointed president presided over the construction of the Star Club, which has not yet been completed. During the construction project, either it was revealed that he was kissing a female celebrity in secret photos, or the young and Dangerous boy went to the construction site to make trouble, and the progress was delayed again and again.
But before New Year’s Day in 1993, the Star Club will definitely be completed and opened. I’m afraid that the “Yu Yuan” will not be so profitable next year. The profiteering industry will not last long, and it will not last forever.
By the end of August, when Luo Junyan returned to Xiangjiang from South Korea, “No.1 Entertainment” broke the candid photo of Huo Wenxi holding his arm at the airport, which looked like a couple flirting.
Luo Junyan hurriedly explained to his wife that these wicked paparazzi had no character, and there should be pictures of him kicking his **** and pressing his head, which were deleted out of context.
Sister Army had a calm expression, but she comforted Luo Junyan not to take it seriously. If it was Kuang Meiyun in the photo, she would be nervous. Luo Junyan only regarded Huo Wenxi as her little sister, which is definitely not wrong for sister army.
Since sister army didn’t take it to heart at all, Luo Junyan completely relaxed, just using this gimmick to promote “Gunfire”. But I always feel that the strength is not enough, the theme is not so clear, and the promotional film is a bit far-fetched.
As a result, he was inspired and prepared to let “New Entertainment” explode several photos of him holding Guan Zhilin’s feet. This was all returned to the set for shooting, and Guan Zhilin was also asked to put on silk stockings of different colors to compare the effects.
Create a gimmick without a gimmick. The director massages the feet of the heroine on the spot, which can also be understood as the hero and the heroine discussing passionate drama. No matter how the audience interprets it, Guan Zhilin’s feet are enough to attract the eye, this is absolutely hot.
Rosamund Kwan is really crazy. I have never seen a boss like Luo Junyan who scandalized himself in order to make money. But it’s okay to touch your feet, and it’s okay to publish it in a magazine, but for 100,000 yuan a day, bargaining is not allowed.
Luo Junyan hesitated to answer her, 100,000 yuan is fine, no problem for one day. But the stockings have to be handed over to the “New Entertainment” auction, and no draw is allowed.
Rosamund Kwan loves and hates Luo Junyan, but the strongest feeling is helpless. She was also wholeheartedly thinking about making money, but she definitely did not cultivate to the realm of Luo Junyan.
On September 16, “The Deer and Ding Tale” was completed, with a box office score of 40.86 million Hong Kong dollars. The Oriental Snow Country Cinemas line won 24.72 million, accounting for more than 60% of the box office, and continued to make great strides.
This film with a box office of 30 to 40 million Hong Kong dollars is emerging one after another, allowing more capital forces to rush into the Hong Kong film investment market. The star pay that Luo Junyan made in the name of Du Shunlian has now been fully recognized by the market, and Long Ge topped the list with a pay of 8 million Hong Kong dollars.
Taiwanese capital has even begun to speculate on celebrity contracts. For example, the official contract signed with Stephen Chow for a film of 2 million Hong Kong dollars can be directly sold for more than 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price is still rising.
Even Luo Junyan received an invitation for a 5 million Hong Kong dollar film to direct him and star in the lead role. You don’t need to make a real shot, just sign a contract. Just signing a contract is not enough. Real shooting is fine. Luo Junyan told Bian Sicong that he can pick up when he meets the right one. Now that the artist is so popular, the money will not be made for nothing.
Subsequently, “Gunfire” was released after “The Deer Ding Ji”. This time, it is not as popular as “Sin City IV: The Dark Throne”. After all, the star lineup starred in one is in the sky and the other is underground, and you can only earn some extra money by relying on your feet.
Luo Junyan did not expect this small-cost production to create miracles, and he was satisfied that the box office could reach the mid-tier level.
On September 24, “The Sequel of the Deer and the Tripod” began to be released, and it was still like a rainbow. Except for “Gunfire”, other films with good schedule had to choose to postpone the release.
As a result, this schedule can only be handed over to Fengyuepian. “Spitfire Girl”, “Summer Lover”, “Flying Girl”, “92 Call Girl”, “Two Houses and One Wife”, the Xiangjiang Film Market has become a monopoly for romantic movies.
“Home Alone 2”, which was bought out for the first time by Snow Knight Publishing Company, has also been sold out, with a box office score of 12.19 million Hong Kong dollars. After deducting all costs, it earned almost 1.1 million.
Although not much earned, Hu Xin was full of confidence. Subsequently, the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas lowered the box office share of foreign films. In this way, this road is worth going down, and Hu Xin really likes shopping, shopping in Hollywood, buying movies, which is also a kind of shopping.
In early October, “Sin City III: The Battle of Redemption” was painted successively in other cities.
The box office of the Asian market has dropped as a whole, and the Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea markets have only won a total of 97 million Hong Kong dollars. However, the box office in the European and American markets is bullish, especially in the North American market, which has made small gains.
There is a part of luck in this, and Shangge Yundun’s “Transformed Warrior” has been a big hit at the box office, and he himself has also become popular. “Sin City III: The Battle of Redemption” can be regarded as borrowing light, and the European and American markets have won a box office of 41.2 million U.S. dollars.
After XJ International Entertainment Media paid 13 million Hong Kong dollars for the promotion, it received 59.45 million Hong Kong dollars, and the best partner film company left 17.84 million. At this time, XJ International Entertainment Media’s company account had more than 119.5 million Hong Kong dollars in funds.
And the Snow Knight Publishing Company relied on the third part of “Sin City” to get a net profit of nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars. As long as the eyes are accurate, the agency distribution in other cities is really profitable.
The ending chapter of “Sin City” will no longer be released in the European and American markets. Luo Junyan does not want to ruin her image in the European and American markets, and the cost of publicity there is too high, and it is very likely that there will be a shortage of people and money.
This last “Dark Throne”, Hu Xin plans to release in December. It is also necessary to let the Asian market slow down a bit, to give the audience some time to look forward to, but will arrange for “New Entertainment” to continue to build momentum with a star lineup to stir up the popularity of the film.
At present, the money in the Snowman Century Entertainment account is definitely the least, which will reach 17 million Hong Kong dollars. Taxes will be paid at the end of the year, and Bian Sicong will be paid dividends, which is stretched.
Bian Sicong is his brother-in-law and he doesn’t care about gains or losses, otherwise the president of which production company can agree to sell the copyright of the film to the parent company for 1 Hong Kong dollar? This is equivalent to less than one cent of the foreign box office income dividend, which is a huge sum of money~www.mtlnovel.com~Get a red envelope]Follow the public.. Public accounts [Book Friends Base Camp~www.mtlnovel.com~ The highest draw is 888 Cash red envelopes!
During this period of time, Bian Sicong contacted many directors, and at least notified his intention to cooperate.
The current director’s market is also bullish. Some famous directors have to pay more than 1 million for the film, and add box office dividends.
Luo Junyan had a good idea, and when she was about to take out real money, she was persuaded. He really couldn’t achieve Huang Baiming’s demeanor, nor did he have the courage of sister army, so the production expansion plan had to slow down again.
During this period, director Zhang Wanting and his wife invited Luo Junyan to star in “The Legend of God of War”, and the film remuneration was 5 million Hong Kong dollars after tax.
To tell the truth, Luo Junyan felt that this sister was so courageous that she dared to find herself acting in a costume film. It is estimated that the funder wanted to make a fuss in the market outside the city. His personal accounts with sister army have been in a state of no access for a long time. After checking the balance, there are more than 12 million left. Sister army is particularly willing to spend money on her daughter, and it is estimated that all of them dare to buy yachts.
Then take it, anyway, it’s not yourself who is losing money, regardless of who pays him.
The original male protagonist of “Legend of War God” is Andy Lau. However, Luo Junyan’s appeal in the Japanese and Korean markets surpassed that of Hua Ge. Even though the pay was 3 million Hong Kong dollars higher, and Hua Ge was one of the shareholders of the production company, the Taiwanese shareholders still decided to invite Luo Junyan to perform.
The heroine invited Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung, and the supporting roles were Zhong Zhentao and Qian Jiale. The cast was still quite strong. Luo Junyan estimated that the production company was rushing to the Hong Kong box office with 30 million yuan. The movie market in 1992 was absolutely crazy, but all those who made movies always looked at the 30 million wooden floor.
As he grows older, 29-year-old Luo Junyan has become a lot of rough males, but after changing into ancient costumes, he can still be described as elegant, round and round.
This film is the second collaboration between him and Maggie Cheung. After years, the time really feels like a white horse.
Maggie Cheung is different now, and she is definitely a big red star. When filming “A Happy Family”, she never gave Zhou Xingchi a good face, and the filming arrangements for each scene had to make way for her commercial activities.
But I’m sorry, one thing falls one thing, Maggie Cheung saw Luo Junyan immediately. This is a kind of psychological shadow buried in the deepest part, a gray memory engraved in the end of adolescence, and an instinctive consciousness of natural enemies.
After “The Legend of God of War” was launched, Zhang Wanting felt that Luo Junyan was more like a director, with Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, Zhong Zhentao, and Qian Jiale all around him. The key is that they are too familiar with each other. Zhong Zhentao did not drink little wine and talk to women with him. Back then, it was when the TVB Five Tigers first became famous.
Later, Zhang Wanting discovered another advantage, that the shooting went too smoothly. The progress is so fast, because there are no stars on the set who are late and leave early. Needless to say, Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung sits in and out of Luo Junyan’s vintage Toyota car every day, making the paparazzi who follow the sneak shots feel unreal.
The key point is that Luo Jun’s face is very thick-skinned, and he is happy to let you take pictures of him secretly. Rosamund Kwan’s feet have brought a wave of box office, and Maggie Cheung’s waist is perfectly fine. Since she has accepted other people’s films, she has to advertise them well.
On October 11th, “Gunfire” really couldn’t stand the impact of “The Deer and the Tripod Sequel”, and could only be drawn in advance. This is because the army sister deliberately lined up her husband’s birthday.
The final box office of “Gun Fire” was 16.67 million Hong Kong dollars, and Luo Junyan was quite satisfied. The local market has recovered 5.33 million, and the market in other cities can still make a small profit. This transaction is done.
When “Gun Fire” was released in Hong Kong, the Snow Knight Distribution Company had already arranged for it to be shown on the entire market in other cities. This time, the copyright was transferred to XJ International Entertainment Media before the release of the painting.
Snowman Century Entertainment is too short of money, and if you don’t make more money, what will it use to shoot new movies next year? “Gunfire” pay taxes when you pay taxes. Anyway, you only collect taxes on profits, and you won’t be able to pay much tax this year.
The cost of “Sin City IV: The Throne of Darkness” was too high and wiped out the company’s profits a lot. From the book, Snowman Century Entertainment actually didn’t make much money.
“Legend of God of War” was filmed for more than 20 days, and on October 29th, director Zhang Wanting announced that it was finalized. At this time, “The Sequel of the Deer and Ding” was finished in Hong Kong, and “Gun Fire” was finished in the market in other cities.
“The Deer and the Tripod Sequel” won another HK$36.58 million at the box office in Hong Kong. This time, the proportion of the box office of the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas continued to increase, with 23.4 million of which were obtained, and even the Xinbao Cinemas had the idea of suppressing the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas.
“Gun Fire” won a box office of 85.6 million Hong Kong dollars in the foreign market, which surprised Luo Junyan. It seems that movies with the theme of gang gunfight are very popular with Japanese and Korean audiences. Snowman Century Entertainment made an account of 21.4 million at once, and the funds in the company’s account were more than 42 million, which finally returned to above the standard line.
In mid-November, the production of “Legend of God of War” was completed, and Luo Junyan received a remuneration of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Both Luo Junyan and his wife have no salary. Sister Army calls this kind of payment as milk powder money. Luo Junyan humbly thinks that 5 million Hong Kong dollars is enough to buy a dairy farm.
In 1992, the Hong Kong film market basically had no time to stop. In November, “Peerless Twins” still sold 19.65 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Christmas and New Year’s Day will follow soon, and the possibility of flameout is even smaller.
This year, Oriental Film Company produced 7 films, of which there were losses and profits. There were also two films that only sold more than 1 million at the box office, but overall they were quite good.
Luo Junyan paid special attention to the two romantic films “Dancing with the Duck” and “Modern Call Girl” produced by Oriental Film Company, both of which had a box office of over 8 million. This kind of film has low cost and low risk, and it is very good to double the money. Huang Baiming is indeed a foresighted boss.
Now it’s no better than when Luo Junyan was shooting Fengyue film. At that time, the people of Xiangjiang had never seen the paparazzi’s hype. Secretly taking a photo of the dew point and creating a few scandals could increase the box office by millions. Nowadays, even the bed photos may not be able to pull the box office of Fengyue film, the limelight has passed.
Therefore, when Li Lizhen approached Luo Junyan and expressed that he wanted to make a breakthrough in Fengyue Films and consulted him, Luo Junyan strongly disagrees with her.
He didn’t understand what could be a breakthrough. Of course, Li Lizhen said that he would accept the breakthrough. He couldn’t tell the story of steamed buns to others, but Luo Junyan thought that Fengyuepian had nothing to do with it.
The audience now has a clearer and clearer positioning of the actors in their hearts. Unless Li Lizhen keeps on filming under the name of Hong Kong’s super **** star, there will be little development in the transition.
In addition, Luo Junyan has been involved in ethical drama fashion films, and the costumes are all tired of watching. Now the crime and violence themes have been washed again. What more tricks can it be filmed?
Especially the films made by Luo Junyan can also attract female audiences in the name of criticizing tradition and promoting feminism. Now you don’t expect to trick women into the cinema, the box office is not much higher.
Li Lizhen wants Luo Junyan to help her relocate, and she can sign in to Snowman Century Entertainment. Now she is already marginalized in the movie circle. It’s a pity that Luo Junyan can’t help. Those who enter the film circle as a young girl can easily solidify their image. Once they get older, it is difficult to find a direction for transformation.
Yuan Jieying also signed to TVB just now and switched careers to a TV drama actor. At that time, Luo Junyan couldn’t help her, and Yuan Jieying vowed not to cooperate with Luo Junyan anymore. This girl had a very hot temper.
Luo Junyan thought it was funny. He was the boss of the film company and not the priest of the church. Therefore, Luo Junyan didn’t understand women in his bones, and women often didn’t lose their temper because of the result.
