Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 165

In December 2003, Luo Junyan’s friends in the same circle sent Amei away. There will be concerns, but there is no regret. See you again in the next life.

On January 10, 2004, “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” held a ceremony to worship God in Xiangjiang.

The long and arduous shooting work began. Luo Junyan ushered in the biggest challenge in his life. The movie hit the street or achieved the reputation of the opening of the fantasy war aesthetics. The success or failure is in this one action, or it is on the surface to make money, but in fact it has been separated from making money. Single purpose.

The filming of the first film of the “Construction” series took ten and a half months. The crew moved around and borrowed more than ten unique landforms in the mainland. From the actors to the behind-the-scenes staff, it can be said that they have suffered a lot. Shooting war films is a test of people’s will, especially in the stage of live shooting.

The interior special effects part is also not easy, in order to pursue the visual effects of the fantasy world, the work of retouching is quite heavy. As the founder of Blizzard Entertainment Allen said, this is creating your own world. If you are not having fun in it, then give up as soon as possible. This belongs to the realm of God.

It was not until December 2004 that “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” was completed, which lasted nearly a year.

Based on various considerations, Luo Junyan decided to postpone the screening until the summer of 2005, and it will be released simultaneously worldwide. In order to achieve this goal, there are a lot of work plans to be achieved one by one. In Asia, you can take the initiative, and in Europe and the United States, you must use public relations and abandon some of the benefits.

At the same time, the first “Construction” Cosplay Global Finals will be held one month before the release. The venue of the finals is set at Xiangjiang, and the championship prize is 100,000 U.S. dollars.

Snow Country Entertainment Network will screen the final video immediately after the final to meet the needs of “Construction” fans around the world.

With the rapid development of streaming media technology, the video sector of Xueguo Entertainment Network is becoming more and more competitive, and it can be said to be the only one in Asia. If the “Construction” series of films are successfully screened on the Snow Country Entertainment Network, the valuation will rise further, and it will no longer be limited to Hong Kong or Asia. This is the embryonic form of an Internet company.

This time Luo Junyan doesn’t plan to go public with a backdoor, and now he understands a little bit of the way to go public and raise money. After the first part of “Construction” is released, Xueguo Entertainment will embark on the path of mergers and acquisitions and expansion before starting the process of listing.

In 2004, the Hong Kong Film Market was still in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the dark haze has enveloped the whole of Hong Kong.

“Kung Fu” starring Ge Xing is the only highlight in the production of this port, which won 61.27 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office. Although it still failed to surpass the box office record of Luo Junyan’s “Wushuang”, it was already infinitely close and squeezed the foreign film to the top of the box office rankings.

Luo Junyan admired Brother Xing very much. From Xingzai to Ah Xing to Xing Ye, after 10 years of long-term career, he has gone all the way to the present. Now it has become the only remaining fruit in the production of Hong Kong’s local port. The shot can not only occupy the throne of the annual box office champion, although it is only a false name, it defends the last trace of dignity of the local production.

Brother Long was not so lucky. The box office of “New Police Story” was only 21.1 million Hong Kong dollars. Pure Kung Fu movies are actually in an embarrassing situation. Due to the limited genre, they cannot use a lot of special effects.

In 2005, the “Construction” Cosplay global finals debuted first.

Luo Junyan was emptied of favors this time, and all the stars who could play as long as the eight poles were invited to attend. Even if you can’t make it, at least you have to change your gear, take a few photos, and leave a video.

Luo Junyan doesn’t care how others talk about him. He started his career by being shameless, his strengths should be revealed when he was exposed, the old traditions must not be lost, and the charisma of the tycoon need not be in vain.

At the final scene, Luo Junyan dressed in Mordred’s armor suit, riding his horse in the film-Tyrant. In an interview, he announced the world premiere time of “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War”, and emphasized that he will bring his wife and daughter to the premiere of the Snow King’s Experience Theater in Busan, South Korea.

After the global finals, Park Daxun of MAX Group came to visit Luo Junyan in person.

The 2003 pandemic caused audiences to dare not go to the theater to watch movies, making MAX theaters, which were not proficient in selecting film sources, a huge loss soon after it opened. Park Daxun suffered heavy losses, and MAX Group is already in danger, and the capital chain may break at any time.

This time, Park Daxun asked Luo Junyan to show “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” to the MAX theaters at the same time. He regarded this movie as a life-saving straw. Most of the films he chose were hitting the box office. The possibility of Luo Junyan’s big sales is quite high, and he intends to save the popularity of the theaters.

Luo Junyan was noncommittal, but immediately asked about the goddess. I believe that Park Daxun can understand what he meant. This is an exchange. Luo Junyan still cared about the mysterious woman.

Park Daxun was now driven to a desperate situation, how could he estimate the threat of the goddess before leaving, and told Luo Junyan all the details at the time. It is not because Park Daxun is superstitious that he believes in the goddess, but that the goddess can indeed foresee the future and has been verified twice.

The goddess foresaw two popular Korean dramas, and said who the male and female protagonists of these two Korean dramas are. Park Daxun is not a fool, and he must go back to investigate. The two Korean dramas were both in the stage of preparing for filming. If the male and female protagonists can be controlled, whether they are popular or not is beyond human control.

Luo Junyan finally asked, “President Park, what does that incognito goddess look like?”

Park Daxun thought for a while and replied: “She has been wearing a veil, and she is completely invisible.” He looked up at Luo Junyan, and then hesitated a little before saying: “However, her eyes are very similar to Mr. Luo.”

Luo Junyan frowned slightly, this was an answer that he didn’t expect at all, but it finally revealed part of the mystery. As for all the secrets, I hope they can all be revealed on the day of the premiere.

On June 18, 2005, “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” was released simultaneously worldwide.

Thanks to the efforts of the new picture, the film has been cut in rounds, and mainland theaters will also be screened simultaneously. In this process, Luo Junyan’s reputation has played a big role. Charitable artists who selflessly donate hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars and ordinary artists will definitely be treated differently.

Luo Junyan did not fail to speak, and brought his wife and daughter to the premiere of the Snow Kings Theater in Busan that day. Everyone would think that Luo Junyan’s presence at the premiere in Busan was based on the location of the filming set, but in fact, the entire theater is already densely covered with spies, and his target is the goddess.

Since looking for a needle in a haystack couldn’t find any clues about this goddess, then she had to throw herself into the trap. Luo Junyan didn’t know who she was targeting, but at least one of her family of four was the target she always focused on.

Of course, the premise is that Luo Junyan is sure that the goddess is Korean, and Park Daxun can also be sure of this, and the accent can’t deceive people.

On the day of the simultaneous global release, the first batch of movie tickets were the members of the “Construct” Cosplay Club and the fans of “Construct”. The premiere will never be cold, no matter which country and region, the audience can reach at least 90%.

The 120-minute “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” is really wonderful, and the special effects team perfectly presented the CG visual core of the fantasy world. This is to create a fantasy world, construct the magical continent of Noland and various strange races, of course, including the magical magic pattern structure.

Needless to say, just looking at the obsessive state of the audience, Luo Junyan can safely put the label of the aesthetics of the fantasy world war out. The media will use this as a gimmick the next day to spread the influence of the film and attract more audiences.

After the film was shown, the audience stood up and gave Luo Junyan a warm applause. Luo Junyan smiled and greeted the audience recycling, and kept bowing to express his heartfelt thanks. For the sake of etiquette standards, he also learned a while.

After the show, Luo Junyan walked into the general affairs office of the theater alone, where a lady was waiting for him. The advantage of being rich is that you can hire more people, and the advantage of hiring more people is that you can focus more closely. In fact, it is useless to focus more closely, because this lady is only wearing ordinary dresses without a veil.

The only thing that makes people suspicious is that she looks too much like Luo Junyan, but is more feminine.

Luo Junyan stared at this woman, and asked straightforwardly: “You have traveled from the future, right?”

The mature woman who couldn’t tell the exact age was silent for a while, then nodded and said, “Yes.”

It was enough for Luo Junyan to ask here, this woman would gradually forget the past in the future, just like Brother Cheng.

So, Luo Junyan got up and walked towards the door. As for why you look so much like yourself? He was not interested in knowing, as to why she would deliberately stare at her own family? Luo Junyan also no longer cared.

When he was about to open the door, the woman who was older than Luo Junyan suddenly shouted: “Dad, Tian Xueni is not my mother at all. She took my mother’s place.”

Luo Junyan stood quietly for a while, then turned around and said, “A few days of rest. If you want, I will take you to live with you.”

After Luo Junyan left the room, he realized a problem. It turned out that Brother Cheng’s relatives were not erased, but changed their identities. I don’t know what kind of person I should have become. Maybe this woman is really his own daughter. Then who would his original wife be? Could it really be a Korean woman?

Luo Junyan shook his head lightly and smiled. Why should a mediocre person embarrass himself? Everything has changed, so why bother to pursue the reasons for the changes.

The last stop of the film’s publicity was set to the United States. At this time, “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” had been shown in theaters around the world for 20 days. In fact, it doesn’t make much sense whether Luo Junyan will come or not. American audiences are still unfamiliar with him, and the effect of the Qixi Raulz platform is not as good.

Without paying attention to the film’s release, Luo Junyan stayed in the United States for three months, spending a long vacation with sister army on “Qinghuan Island”. The couple’s mood has never been so relaxed, it is a wonderful time.

At the end of the year, the first part of “Construction” has been completed. Just a North American market, it won a box office of 186 million US dollars, almost able to squeeze into the top ten of the annual box office rankings, creating the myth of Xiangjiang production in the North American market.

On the original historical track, this box office performance belongs to “Smiths”, ranking tenth in the annual box office. But there is no “Smiths” this year. It is a film produced by Fox a long time ago. It seems that everything has a cause and effect, and the hidden track is still laid in the long river of time.

Back in Xiangjiang, Luo Junyan began to prepare for the celebration banquet. The first part of “Construction” can earn more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and the second part will only earn more. The cost is greatly reduced, but the reputation is greatly increased.

After this battle, Luo Junyan finally stood on the international stage, and became a veritable Hong Kong movie tycoon, and became well-known in the European and American entertainment circles.

By the end of 2005, Snowman Century Entertainment was preparing for the work before the filming of “Construction: Attack on the Plane of Faro”. The second part of the series will surely create a new record for the production of Hong Kong Hong Kong.

At this time, Luo Junyan is holding the box office ranking list of this year’s local productions in the Xiangjiang Film Market. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows watching Luo Zhiqing and Luo Zhiyuan who were playing with a puppy in the manor. The Korean woman who had forgotten the future happily accompanied the two little girls to play together.

This should be the most relaxing and happy time since she came to this world. Who can clarify the meaning of crossing, gains and losses are in constant reversal.

On the box office ranking list, “Construction: Seed of Destruction and War” topped the list with a box office of 72.77 million Hong Kong dollars, breaking a new box office record in the Hong Kong film market.

But then only one “Children’s Dream Romance” exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, ranking second. The remaining films on the list are all under 20 million Hong Kong dollars. The tenth place is “Say I Love You Again” starring Hua Ge, with a box office score of only 11.7 million Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Junyan chuckled unconsciously, I’m afraid that he is the only stubborn vulgar who can only stare at the box office. But what’s so strange? Just follow your own ideas and continue to attack on the road to making money.

At the same time, he no longer has any obsessions with the production of Hong Kong’s main port. Individuals in the ocean do not need to add ethereal meaning to themselves. The passing will eventually pass away. It is impossible to force it. The entertainment era belonging to Xiangjiang has come to an end.

Brother Cheng took his newly-married wife to the mainland to build a grand private museum and intentionally donated all the antiques. Sister Xi has become a figure like the big sister of the mainland entertainment circle, and it can be said that the wind is calling for rain. Kim Zhehe’s status as the godfather of Korean entertainment is unshakable, and even the chaebol cannot replace it. The shopaholics are returning home and are buying land in Sichuan to build a movie theater.

The traversing brother Cheng failed to change the trajectory of history, and all causality was only replaced by other forms. The only thing he changed was the little character Luo Junyan, an entertainment tycoon who shouldn’t have appeared, for this world, it can be said to be insignificant.

The box office ranking list of Xiangjiang Town’s production fell from the table. Luo Junyan, who turned to go out, gently closed the door. It will continue tomorrow, but today is over, so there is no need to say anything.
