Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 122

There are two other main characters in “The Sixth Sense of Love”, the rich tycoon and the daughter of the rich tycoon.

Luo Junyan chose Zeng Jianglai to play the role of the rich tycoon. At that time, Zeng Jiang played Huang Laoxie in “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”, which left a deep impression on him.

This heroine is not easy to choose, this time Luo Junyan told Liu Luanxiong of the request, and then he asked him to recommend the candidate. The production cost is too high, no more nonsense, just arrange personally.

Liu Luanxiong controls the China Entertainment Company, and he has many artists under its umbrella, but he doesn’t understand the art of acting. If he has the time to study that, it is better to buy a few more plots of land.

It is soft on the outside and **** the inside. It must have the temperament of an independent woman, and its acting must not be exaggerated, but simple and natural. Grandma’s, Liu Luanxiong decided not to recommend it this time. With such a female artist in his hands, why bother to change the women around him.

Luo Junyan was relieved, he was free to choose the heroine. Therefore, he immediately asked Bian Sicong to contact Taiwanese actor Wu Qianlian, who he had long been optimistic about.

Acting is easy to play and difficult to act. If you want to act to the core, you need not only proficient acting skills, rich experience, but also unique talents. So many actors are just acting instead of acting, but Wu Qianlian is an artist who plays bones. After Luo Junyan watched “If there is love in the sky”, she defined Wu Qianlian.

At the end of April, Bian Sicong returned to Xiangjiang to start budgeting and preparing for the drama.

One thing is very important in the production. Who will do the special effects? Luo Junyan decided to send the script to the United States first, and let Hu Xin make an inquiry in the United States. At the same time, Xiangjiang will look for it here, and South Korea will also look for it, and finally decide.

On May 4, “New Boys and Girls Love” was released in advance, and the box office was only 4.9 million Hong Kong dollars, but this is the highest box office recently. It is conceivable that the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas has been in a difficult situation in the past few months, and the Xiangjiang Film Market is now so uncertain.

On May 11th, “Nine Pins Sesame Official White Bread Blue Sky” was finally finished, and the final box office was 30.18 million Hong Kong dollars. Star Brother is still a big cow.

On May 13th, “Evening 9 Dynasty 5” was finished, and the box office was only 10.47 million Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Junyan really didn’t understand what the Golden Princess Theatre thought. The box office of this film is basically the same as “Everyday There Is Today” drawn on April 20, but it wasted nearly a month of theater resources. The Golden Princess would not fall, and the law of heaven would not tolerate it.

After the painting of “Nine Pins of Sesame Officials: White Bread Blue Sky” was finished, the cinemas didn’t have to laugh at anyone. The box office of the film was quite tragic. In order to sell an extra 1 million Hong Kong dollars, the theater had to engage in celebrity events and also had to provide drinks.

At the production company, both Zeng Jiang and Wu Qianlian have successfully signed, and the pay is still very cheap.

But looking for a special effects company is miserable. The lowest quotation in the United States is 4.5 million US dollars, which is 35.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is only a preliminary budget, not the final contract price.

South Korea is basically blank in this field, and Xiangjiang Centro Digital’s offer is 11 million Hong Kong dollars. The owner of Centro Digital is the brother of Zhong Chuhong’s husband, Zhu Jiading, which is still a friendly price.

Does Luo Junyan have a choice? The CG special effects pit was dug by myself, so I had to jump if I bite the bullet.

Through this experience, Luo Junyan is very interested in computer special effects companies. Cheng said that only by swimming in the blue ocean can he make a lot of money. He specifically asked what Blue Ocean is, and Brother Cheng’s explanation was that those places far away from the mainland and where laws and regulations have not yet been established, and where you can arbitrarily attack.

Digging people, digging from the United States, digging from Xiangjiang, and when you can dig a suitable helper, you will become a special effects company. Of course, Luo Junyan doesn’t know how much money is needed to set up a computer special effects company. He has no idea about the computer hardware and various special effects software used for rendering.

However, Luo Junyan would usually try his best when he made up his mind, and the ignorant would be fearless.

The banquet hall in South Korea has not yet begun to be renovated, and construction needs to wait until the greening of the suspended island is completed. At this time, there is no need to turn it into a banquet hall. The basement and the ground two are directly transformed into a film special effects production base.

When Jin Zhehe received his call, he was a little confused on the spot, but he immediately agreed.

The utilization rate of the banquet hall is indeed too low, and it is converted into a practical office space, which can save a lot of construction costs. At present, the base construction fund of 350 million Hong Kong dollars is only less than 30 million. Jin Zhehe is really worried that the money is not enough.

The cost budget of “The Sixth Sense of Life and Death” is 16 million Hong Kong dollars. Luo Junyan decided to go to “Qinghuan Island” to shoot, or else he would have to build a super luxurious villa to demonstrate his status as a tycoon.

This time sister army also took her two daughters to “Qinghuan Island” for vacation. Now anyway, I can’t get the right film source, so I just wait until “Life and Death” is released at the end of June before going back to relieve the psychological pressure.

On May 27th, the crew of the “Sixth Sense of Life and Death” held a **** worship ceremony on the “Qinghuan Island”.

This time, the crew of the filming crew has been streamlined time and again. A staff member behind the scenes can hold several positions concurrently, and the remuneration is doubled. It’s appropriate to count it, otherwise it would be to learn from Brother Long. It would cost hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars to make a film.

It’s good to have sister army by her side. Sister army takes the role of Bian Sicong as the on-site producer. At the same time, she can take care of Luo Junyan. The beautiful and magnificent scenery of “Qinghuan Island” is very relaxing.

No one in the crew knew that “Qinghuan Island” was Luo Junyan’s private island, and they all secretly stunned his relationship in the United States. He could actually borrow such an island for filming. Otherwise, the rent during the filming would cost millions, let alone say. Hong Kong dollars.

After the filming started, Zeng Jiang and Wu Qianlian performed quite well. This is the difference between the acting school and the idol school. One is simple and naturally overflows the role, and the other is non-exaggerated to show the sense of existence.

Part of the special effects scene will be filmed, mainly concentrated in the studio. After returning to Xiangjiang, it will be the highlight of the special effects production.

Luo Junyan’s focus this time is on special effects, because there are many effects that are impossible to achieve in real shooting, and they can be presented to the audience through CG special effects. The audience always only pursues freshness, this is the unbreakable law of the entertainment industry.

Although this thing made Tsui Hark a big somersault, “Green Snake” can be regarded as completely rushing to the street. However, Luo Junyan can fully realize the new things that represent future trends.

Hu Xin also rushed to “Qinghuan Island” in early June to meet with Luo Junyan and report to his work.

During this period of time, she bought the rights to the “Forrest Gump” from Paramount Pictures for US$650,000 and plans to release it in December. In addition, he bought the rights to show “Ghosts in Disguise” from the US New Line Distribution Company and spent 700,000 U.S. dollars. It is planned to be released in October.

Xiangjiang’s inability to get a good movie forced Hu Xin to spend money in the United States, and he had to buy food if it wasn’t cheap.

Fortunately, these film and distribution companies in the United States know the historical data of the Xiangjiang market showing foreign films, and probably know that Xiangjiang is a small island with a population of 6 million, plus Hu Xin can always get the other party’s global distribution plan and buy it. If you break the price, you can press the bottom line of the other party to talk.

Even so, the two films cost another 10.5 million Hong Kong dollars. The cost of distribution of external films is high, and only adding translation and subtitles will cost hundreds of thousands. So when the total cost is calculated, two films have to invest 14 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of these two films, one is an inspirational drama and the other is a fantasy comedy. The ghost knows whether it will make a profit in Xiangjiang. Hu Xin’s criteria for selecting films can scare her, make her laugh, and make her cry, before he pays attention to the reputation of actors and directors.

At the same time, Hu Xin brought good news. She dug up two technical backbones from the American Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company. They agreed to work in South Korea, but each person’s minimum annual salary is required to be 400,000 U.S. dollars.

These two guys are qualified for the job of forming a company and training talents, and they ensure that Luo Junyan spends the least money, and only 5 million US dollars can support the special effects company’s booth.

An annual salary of 400,000 US dollars Luo Junyan didn’t think anything, but what the **** is an investment of 5 million US dollars? 40 million Hong Kong dollars can only support a stall? Chatting with Zhu Jiaxin, the owner of Centro Digital, didn’t he say that he only invested less than 1 million Hong Kong dollars at the beginning?

For the first time, Junyan Luo has a strong curiosity about film special effects companies in the American entertainment system. This thing has a high threshold, and it is the stage of casually playing black hands, absolutely can’t wait any longer.

So Luo Junyan asked Hu Xin to take the two dug employees back to Xiangjiang first, and Brother Cheng personally came to the interview. Luo Junyan will be relieved that such a big matter needs Brother Cheng to personally check it out. If Brother Cheng has no objections, a new subsidiary will have to be established before the end of the year.

Luo Junyan especially took the time to chat with Will and Allen who had dug over for the whole morning. These two dudes are technical nerds, and they are not easy to do. Luo Junyan will let Huo Wenxi receive them well.

The drunken gold fans dazzled people’s eyes, and the feasting and feasting warmed people’s hearts, and they were almost able to pull these two on the thief boat.

Luo Junyan is now making movies more and more freely. On the one hand, he is familiar, on the other hand, there are too many sloppy things, and he can’t concentrate.

However, things are so strange that no one in the critics paid any attention to the filming of serious and contemplative filming before. Now I do whatever I want and don’t ask for more explanation, but the response is very enthusiastic.

Sister Army guessed the reason. When you do it seriously, you will portray your own traces in the film, and shoot the film as you like, leaving a lot of room for free interpretation.

To put it simply, it is almost the same as leaving blank in traditional Chinese painting. It can be said to be the sky or the sea. People are not appreciating your film, but appreciating their own interpretation. Buddhism hates this desire.

At the beginning of June, the Hong Kong film market entered the summer competition again.

“Cold-Blooded Man and Wolf” on June 2 and “The Eye of the Storm” on June 3 will be screened on the Golden Princess Theatre.

On June 8, “Detective Moren” released by Oriental Film Distribution Company, and on June 9, “Urban Love” produced by Zedong Films was screened online at Oriental Snow Country Theater.

“Urban Love” is starring Liming and Wu Qianlian. If the box office sells well and Wu Qianlian’s popularity will increase, she can save a portion of the promotional fee for “The Sixth Sense of Life and Death”.

On June 9, “Overlord of the Western Chu” starring Lu Liangwei was screened in Yindu Institutional Cinema.

On June 9th, “Deep Sisterhood” starring Leung Ka Fai and Anita Yuen was screened in Jiahe Cinema. Brother Jiahui is really unscrupulous. He can make any film. Same-sex subject matter can be considered a gimmick.

The “Legend of Fire Cloud” on May 26 and the Taiwanese film “Moonlight Boy” on June 9 were screened online in Xinbao Theater.

“Legend of Fire Cloud” is produced by Heping Pictures. The company’s founder Yuan Heping personally directed and invited Brigitte Lin to star in a high-priced film.

Coupled with the fact that “I Have a Date with Spring” screened by the Liberty Alliance of Independent Cinemas is getting better, and the summer archives kicked off. Of course, these are just appetizers, and July is the time for dinner on the summer stall.

On June 15, Sister Army returned to Xiangjiang with two little mischiefs who hadn’t played enough. Bian Sicong had already rushed to the United States to take over.

At the same time, “Life and Death Hour” launched a propaganda offensive in Xiangjiang, with a fairly novel format.

Various media are reporting that Luo Junyan is preparing to start shooting “Wushuang 2”. The article eloquently wrote that in fact, in the end of the final yacht explosion of “Wu Shuang”, the hero and heroine were just Jin Chan escaped from the shell. This is the fourth flip, just waiting for ” Warriors 2″ to reveal the secret.

And Luo Junyan has gone to the United States to select actors for the role, and currently plans to pay $3 million in remuneration to invite Hollywood’s top action star Keanu Reeves to play. “New Entertainment” also published a secret photo of Luo Junyan having a meal with Keanu Reeves. In the photo, two people were whispering.

Preparing to shoot “Wushuang 2”? What Luo Junyan didn’t dare to think about, it was not a stubborn dog, it was a targeted self-destruction. It’s purely to stir up Keanu Reeves, otherwise, which of Xiangjiang knows him.

It was a bit cold in June of 1994. In the middle of the year, “The Cold-Blooded Wolf” and “The Eye of the Storm” were drawn in advance. One box office was 1.89 million Hong Kong dollars, and the other was 3.27 million Hong Kong dollars.

Immediately after the painting of “Moonlight Boy”, Xinbao Cinemas won a box office of 84188 yuan. This is the Taiwanese boss’s own film. It won’t work if it doesn’t show enough time, but if you look at the box office again, can you ask the boss enough for a meal?

“Legend of Fire Cloud” will be drawn in advance on June 2. Director Yuan Heping regarded this gambling work as the last fight, and in the end it only got a box office of 1.16 million Hong Kong dollars. Heping Pictures could only choose to suspend production, and Yuan Heping returned to Yuan Wuzhi.

The films shown in other theaters finally lasted until the beginning of July. “The Detective Miller” has a box office of 10.1 million Hong Kong dollars, “Urban Love” has a box office of 9.9 million Hong Kong dollars, and “Sisterhood” has a box office of 14.89 million Hong Kong dollars. It turned out that a gay-themed film won the box office title.

So far, only the left-wing Yindu Cinemas still insists on showing “Overlord of Western Chu” produced by their company. This is a political task, and it is not related to economic benefits. It is not surprising that Changying will last for six months.

On June 30, “Speed ​​of Life” was screened at Oriental Snow Country Cinema, this time it was still premiering simultaneously with the United States.

After a series of fabricated propaganda, Keanu Reeves became famous in Xiangjiang, and “Life and Death Hour” started very well.

Sister Army only took a sigh of relief at this time. After the Spring Festival stalls, the Oriental Snow Country Circuit has been in a state of being half a circle behind, and this time it can finally lead the way.

On June 30, Yindu Cinemas also screened “Alive” directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Yu Hua and Gong Li. This film got quite good results in July, with a box office of more than 8.2 million Hong Kong dollars. Cheng still went to the theater to sponsor a ticket.

The other films shown again added a footnote to the 1994 Xiangjiang Film Market. It is not an exaggeration to describe the corpses everywhere, and there are producers and directors looking for someone to borrow money.

It can be said that July, the most critical summer season, is the world of “Speed ​​of Life and Death”. The local production was once again killed without his helmet and armor. The market is always right. Dreams shine into reality, and reality shines on dreams. In the end, box office data must be used to speak. There is no point in artificially dividing Hong Kong films and foreign films.

Each theater line has a recent box office statistics sheet, “Just Live for You” at the box office of 106,820 Hong Kong dollars, “Beijing Crazy Man and Woman” at the box office of 313095 Hong Kong dollars, and “One-armed Swordsman” at the box office of 764,431 Hong Kong dollars, “**** *” 1.05 million Hong Kong dollars, “Inferiority” at the box office of 1.96 million Hong Kong dollars, “Men should be in a bottle” 3.14 million Hong Kong dollars, and “Province and Hong Kong No. 1 Wanted Criminal” 5.18 million Hong Kong dollars.

Especially the “Drunken Master 3” starring Andy Lau, Li Jiaxin, Zheng Shaoqiu and Ji Tiansheng, the box office was only 7.07 million Hong Kong dollars. And “The True Colors of New Heroes” directed by Wang Xiaopang, starring Ekin Cheng, Liu Qingyun, and Wang Minde, has a box office of only 8.17 million Hong Kong dollars.

The theaters are still hot, but the boss himself has a hot temper.
