Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 161
In October, “Initial D”, which had been screened for two months, was first drawn in Xiangjiang.
The film’s final box office score was 59.55 million Hong Kong dollars, which is comparable to “Shaolin Football”.
If “Initial D” was released first, the positions of the two might be reversed. After all, “Shaolin Football” first harvested a large wave of box office, and the release schedule is better than “Initial D”.
Luo Junyan is quite satisfied with this result. At least to occupy the annual box office runner-up, Hollywood films lack the capital to brag.
With the success of several local films, the Hong Kong film circle began to lively again.
Luo Junyan is not so optimistic, and will not easily shoot new films. Now we have to consider how to make Snowman Century raise money in the stock market, so that all our energy can be put on “Construction”, this is really in a hurry.
“Head and Master in One” is scheduled to be released in December. Luo Junyan has to join in, take care of Director Yin’s emotions, and inspect the construction of the Busan studio by the way.
He can rest in the meantime. But can Luo Junyan live freely, he began to wonder how to clean up Huang Jiadong.
As a result, Huang Jiadong stabbed out a big basket before he could do anything wrong. Now Huang Jiadong looks to the money for everything, and there is nothing he dare to do for the benefit, and it is not surprising that he can make any tricks.
“East Weekly” published the photos of Carina Lau who was kidnapped in 90 years. The negatives were actually kept until now and Huang Jiadong bought them at a high price.
Although you have photos as evidence, this kind of news is an insult to the personality of the artist, and it is also a matter of challenging the bottom line of social morality.
Luo Junyan patiently waited for things to ferment step by step. Then he will make the strongest voice and lead a huge entertainment circle to fight pornography.
This time, Huang Jiadong was absolutely ruined, and he became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted. It was a good choice to send him to prison. As for not killing Huang Jiadong? Luo Junyan felt that the means of revenge was not pleasant, and it was not within his scope of consideration.
At this time, Media Asia Film Company entrusted Andy Lau to find Luo Junyan, wanting him to participate in a police film. Media Asia Films intends to take advantage of the momentum of the film market this year to further revive the local production.
It is impossible to say that there is no selfishness. Rejuvenation is definitely not as important as making money. But at least the starting point is good. After all, it is to further strengthen the confidence of the local studios and jointly resist the encroachment of Hollywood films.
The offensive of Hollywood films this year has been concentrated in the mid-to-high-end box office.
Films such as “Tomb Raiders 2”, “Pearl Harbor”, “Remains of a Deserted Island”, “Jurassic Park 3”, “Tomb Raider” and so on that have already been painted, have box offices ranging from 16 million Hong Kong dollars to 40 million Hong Kong dollars. In time, it is tantamount to squeezing the box office stalls in the middle reaches.
Don’t think about the top few in the box office rankings, the mid-tier box office stalls are the goal of the Xiangjiang medium and small production companies. Their films cannot be released in other cities at all. If they cannot squeeze into the middle box office in the Xiangjiang market, they will only end up at a loss.
Now that the cost of production and promotion is so high, independent production companies have to close out if they lose one. Unless the boss has a lot of money and uses his own money to carry it hard, but how many times can he carry it?
As for Media Asia’s “Infernal Affairs” or not? Luo Junyan still took it, but he only played a guest role and showed his face as support, and the pay was not required.
Luo Junyan can agree, and Media Asia really didn’t want him to be the leading role. Luo Junyan is not an artist under Media Asia, and he is still one of the biggest competitors in Xiangjiang. There is no reason to pay him.
“Infernal Affairs” is going to start shooting in 2002, and I came to meet him so early to set Luo Junyan’s schedule. The box office of “Initial D” has exploded this time, and everyone in the circle thinks that Luo Junyan will open another major production. The comics of “Initial D” are very long.
By December, “Initial D” was gradually released in other cities.
The box office results in various places are quite good, with a total of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, there is no suspense.
According to the current 35% box office share standard, the producer can earn more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars. The Snow Knights distribution company can make a net profit of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the foreign market. Hu Xin feels that the publisher’s own film is more enjoyable than foreign films.
Luo Junyan gave the issuing company a 10% box office share in the foreign market, which is currently the highest standard. Luo Junyan doesn’t care about the stock price if he earns a listed company and distributes it to others.
The less he cares about the stock price, the more the stock price goes up, which is evil.
As soon as the box office results in other cities, the stock price of Snowman Century stood at 2.5 Hong Kong dollars per share. Since its listing, the stock price has risen six times. The key is how long it took.
No one now calculates exactly how much money a listed company can make. As long as Luo Junyan is still alive and kicking, he is buying on dips, and he has pushed the market value of Yeti Century from 90 million to more than 500 million now.
Chen Guoqiang’s intestines are all regretful, who would have thought of letting a fool push the stock price up easily? All these years of experience have failed in Luo Junyan’s body. As long as the goods are still tossing, the stock price will grow wildly.
As a result, news came from the United States without waiting for the stock price to pull back. The screening of “Initial D” was very successful. The theater chain doubled the number of screens of the film, and it might be possible to run a dark horse again.
Alright, what is the concept of making dollars? Even if it only returns a few million dollars, it is a profit of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. It turns out that Snowman Century is still a hidden international entertainment concept stock.
At the same time, Gemini Digital Special Effects Company finally successfully landed on Nasdaq after a year of operation.
XJ International Entertainment Media Group has a shareholding ratio of 54.27%, which is a lot of wealth. What will happen in the future? Luo Junyan knew that several “Constructions” could at least double the stock price.
When the capital was increased and the shares were expanded, the money invested by the US investment bank was kept in Gemini. This time, it successfully raised a sum of money. Gemini digital special effects can be said to be rich and powerful now, and Old Joe is tinkering with updating equipment. His idea is to build a rendering nebula and dwarf planet server architecture.
Luo Junyan can’t take care of it now, so let’s do what she loves, just to play up the universe without spending her own money.
Old Qiao was also happy in his heart. He had never met such a major shareholder who didn’t care about the matter again, so let him toss casually. If it was the same for Apple Computer, it has long become a giant in the world’s technology field.
Under the double benefits, the stock price of Yeti Century began to climb again. Now Chen Guoqiang has a problem. Turning on the computer and not looking at the trend of Snowman Century, he feels noisy in his heart.
The affairs of listed companies are left to the army sister and Lomezi to take care of. Luo Junyan doesn’t care about how to assign directors and supervisors. After these companies go public, he can make movies with peace of mind.
Luo Junyan arrived in South Korea the day before the release of “Head Master One”.
When I saw director Yin Jijun, Luo Junyan’s eyes were red. He shook Director Yin’s hand and expressed that he regretted letting the company go public, which caused no one to listen to what he said now, which made Director Yin chill.
Although director Yin Jijun is a screenwriter, he is familiar with various scenes. However, the eclectic form of acting like Luo Junyan has not been experienced. Since then, Director Yin has become Luo Junyan’s loyal fan.
When luck comes, it can’t be stopped, Luo Junyan can’t insulate luck in this life.
After the premiere of “Head and Master”, the audience’s response was quite enthusiastic. Looking at this posture, it was almost another big-selling film, and Luo Junyan could pick up a bearer check when he picked up his wallet.
But this time, Luo Junyan finally met South Korean movie star Sun Yejin, and he ran into him in the aisle of the movie theater.
Jin Zhehe, who was accompanied by him, secretly observed Luo Junyan and found that he was not surprised at all.
After the introduction, Luo Junyan maintained a consistent demeanor, which made people feel like a spring breeze. Moreover, he generously took out the picture with sister army from his wallet and handed it to Son Yezhen to see it, which made Son Yezhen extremely surprised.
After Son Yezhen left, Luo Junyan glanced at Jin Zhehe who was frowning, and said, “Lao Jin, are you confused?”
Jin Zhehe nodded, then shook his head immediately.
Luo Junyan said to himself: “It’s very simple, because she is not the army sister. But you can pay attention to Sun Yezhen, maybe I will ask her to make a movie in the future. There is a role I planned to leave to my wife, but the acting is too hard. Up.”
Jin Zhehe bowed slightly, indicating that he had written it down. But he still didn’t understand, “It’s very simple, because she is not the army sister.” What does this mean?
In Luo Junyan’s heart, sister army is irreplaceable, not just looks, it’s that simple.
When Luo Junyan returned to Xiangjiang, the “East Weekly” event finally fermented.
The entertainment industry is in awe, and all stars, big and small, publicly accuse the media of such immoral behavior. Luo Junyan felt that the time was almost right, and a big flag had to be raised. It was really time to beat a dog in the water.
He began to connect artists and called for large-scale demonstrations and protests. Unexpectedly, Long Ge was even more excited than him, and he started to contact him a long time ago, which Luo Junyan didn’t expect.
Wait until he wants to find Carina Lau again and encourage her to stand up bravely. As a result, it was another step too late. Two groups of people had already come over to persuade them, and they couldn’t get the best results.
Now even the lawsuit is being fought, and there is no shortage of money, so what else can Luo Junyan do? If you don’t take the lead in revenge, how can you feel happy in your heart? This is definitely due to a stubborn and hard-to-educate character.
I still underestimated the power of the volcano that had been hidden in the hearts of Xiangjiang artists for a long time. I thought that everyone would bear it this time. The serious things have been done by others, Luo Junyan is ready to play muddled, waiting for several years, this tone is resolute.
Just after New Year’s Day in 2002, a parade involving all artists broke out in Xiangjiang, with the slogan of resisting bad media and seeking justice.
The parade was applied to the government, and the police station only mobilized police officers to maintain law and order. But on the first day there was an injury case, and Luo Junyan became the first entertainer to be arrested in the police station.
The reason is also very simple. Luo Junyan led a group of newcomers to smash the glass of the magazine when others were marching. In addition, there was a fierce dispute with Huang Jiadong at the scene, and physical contact immediately occurred, and Luo Junyan beat him into a pig’s head.
This is the headline news. Although it is still unclear who made the first move, smashing people’s glass must be enough for detention. The strange thing is that the vast majority of the Xiangjiang people applauded Luo Junyan, and the parade artists even came out to give Luo Junyan a helping hand.
But after sister army released Luo Junyan on bail, Luo Junyan felt more comfortable. His style of doing things this time is very different from the past, but he won’t be able to get his thoughts unless he fights him personally.
Huang Jiadong was even more embarrassed, thinking that Luo Junyan was cruel and would cause him to die. He knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot, and confessed all the things back then, involving the Guo family behind.
The festival between Luo Junyan and the Guo family has been revealed, and the Guo family will not allow Huang Jiadong to talk nonsense. Huang Jiadong may not escape prison. Luo Junyan no longer wants to pay attention to Huang Jiadong, what if he should die? After the pleasure of revenge, my heart is extremely exhausted.
Sister Army has nothing to do with him. It’s worth doing so much for a small person.
But Brother Cheng was very happy, praised Luo Junyan for his sober mind, and even sprinkled a lot of alcohol on him after drinking beforehand. And forcing Huang Jiadong to confess on the spot, letting the Guo family go and clean up him, it can be described as making a decision and then acting.
Luo Junyan just felt that no matter how much revenge after the incident, it would be meaningless, and it was far better to protect the people around him.
