Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 31
Luo Junyan got on the bus to go home. He has no plans to go to the theater tonight.
He was immediately recognized by the passengers as soon as he got on the bus. He had to admit that the first two blockbuster movies made him famous. This time, the huge movie poster directly made him a household name.
Passengers with positive personalities, especially middle-aged women, gathered around him to sign up for a chat. Luo Junyan has always been smiling, but his thought reaction is obviously petrified, and his speech is not witty.
In the end, Luo Junyan was trying to get out of the enclosure of the comrades when she just saw a quiet little girl holding a guitar on the seat next to her. So he reached out to the girl and said, “The guitar is good, borrow it to use it.”
The little girl wore a hat and was startled by his suddenly stretched arm, but still handed the guitar to Luo Junyan, and said in a soft voice: “Newly bought, the pitch may not be accurate.”
Luo Junyan picked up the guitar and shouted fiercely: “Please take a few steps back.”
As the crowd dispersed, he hurriedly tried a few times and tuned the strings. Then the little girl was asked to stand aside, and he jumped into someone’s seat and slapped twice to attract the attention of the passengers.
The prelude of “A Lovesickness” sounded in the carriage, and all the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Luo Junyan closed his eyes and sang live on the bus.
The world is full of smoke
Romantic
Lovers are mostly greedy
Love, hate and hatred are all beautiful
Make you feel bad
Let you pretend to be crazy while drunk
Reborn one day
I didn’t understand until I was crying and laughing
I want to ask Qingtian how long this life is
I’m afraid it will be harder
Asking for a cup of acquaintance in the past
If this time it’s still like I was obsessed
I am obsessed with you
Then I may be passionate
,,,,,,,,,
The more Luo Junyan sang, the more he felt sore and depressed, and his voice gradually became choked and hoarse. He really understood the vicissitudes of smokey voice this time. The smell of the singing was completely different from the past, and everyone around could hear it silently.
After the bus driver stopped at the station, after boarding the passengers, they all forgot to drive.
After Luo Junyan sang a song, she quietly wiped the drops of water from the corner of her eyes, just to see a theater outside the car window with a long line of ticket purchasers in front.
He suddenly changed his mind, moved the guitar on his back, jumped out of the car door, and ran to the theater.
Luo Junyan quietly used a big cow (500 face value) to buy a movie ticket that a couple had just acquired, which made the couple feel weird. Does the actor still need to buy tickets to watch the movie? And even if the price has just been raised, a front-row movie ticket is only 12 yuan. Do you need to show off your wealth? But it must be sold.
After getting the movie ticket, before Luo Junyan turned around and mixed into the theater, he was pulled tightly by the corner of his clothes from behind.
Luo Junyan turned his head and saw the little **** the bus. He immediately realized that she quickly picked off the guitar and said with a smile: “Little sister, I’m sorry, I just forgot.”
The little girl took the guitar, hugged it tightly in her arms, and panted and said, “You ran so fast, I almost couldn’t catch you.”
Luo Junyan thought her voice was very nice, so she asked: “Little sister, what do you call it?”
The little girl hesitated and replied: “My name is Zhou Huimin, you can call me Vivian.”
Luo Junyan glanced at the baseball cap on her head and said, “The name is good. Little V, it’s better to be like this. I ask you to watch a movie and eat popcorn, as my sincerity to apologize to you.”
He raised the movie ticket in his hand.
Zhou Huimin asked vigilantly: “Do you know I will follow? Or why do you buy two tickets by yourself?”
Luo Junyan said: “There are so many people buying tickets, I can’t buy this one in line. The couple just transferred it to me at a high price. The guy will definitely not let his girlfriend go to the movie with me, if he himself If you ask to go in with me, if you are his girlfriend, will it be normal for him? So buy one get one free for me.”
Zhou Huimin smiled, standing still hesitating, deciding whether to look at it or not.
Luo Junyan stretched out her hand to take off her hat and put it on her head, making her hat deformed.
With a cry, Zhou Huimin closed his eyes and screamed: “Indecent.”
Luo Junyan didn’t expect her such a big reaction. He covered her mouth and said, “Hey, don’t shout. Borrow the hat and watch the movie with me. You don’t want to be recognized, do you?”
Zhou Huimin opened his hand and stared at him angrily, with long hair floating away, very pure and beautiful.
Luo Junyan had a headache and asked: “Little V, how old are you this year?”
Zhou Huimin replied angrily: “14 years old.”
Luo Junyan nodded, and said earnestly: “You are only 14 years old, so you can’t be simpler? Even if I am a pervert, I will definitely not attack you. Your breast muscles are not as big as mine. Not to mention me. You don’t need to check your identity. As long as I act rashly and you shout to the crowd a few times, I’m completely ruined. So we don’t stand here to discuss your personal safety. We will go back to each house after watching the movie.”
Luo Junyan saw that this little girl was a passive decision-making woman, so she walked directly into the theater without giving her a chance to reply.
Zhou Huimin was furious, but the hat was still on the opponent’s head, and she had to follow closely behind.
The attendance rate of this theater is so high, it is almost full. The two squeezed into their seats, and Luo Junyan threw his food and drink into Zhou Huimin’s arms, and left her alone.
After the opening scene of “Killer Couples” with a psychologist, the narrative pace is getting faster and faster. From the acquaintance and marriage of the hero and the heroine to the beginning of mutual suspicion, the audience’s eyes have been fixed on the screen.
The scene of the battle in the villa caused the audience to exclaim non-stop, with cheers one after another.
Zhou Huimin was also fascinated, and didn’t notice that Luo Junyan, who was sitting next to him, hadn’t made a sound. It wasn’t until the passionate scene of the heroine and heroine that Zhou Huimin was shyly relieved.
At the beginning of the passion play, Luo Junyan knelt in front of the bed, holding a jade foot wrapped in black stockings by sister Army in both hands, and kissed the tight feet from the toes like slick lips, and the theater was full of rapid gasps. .
The two people tumbling around on the screen, the camera chasing their sensitive parts.
Use a messy quilt and taken off underwear for a certain amount of occlusion, so that the two carcasses in the mirror are both delicate, strong and hazy and comfortable, switching to the expressions of both sides from time to time.
Not only did this scene not disappoint the audience, but it became a catalyst for intriguing emotions.
Zhou Huimin blushed and glanced at Luo Junyan next to him secretly, and unexpectedly found him looking at the screen idiotically, two lines of tears snaking down on his cheeks.
This really scared Zhou Huimin. The man was moved to cry at this time? Is this reasonable?
The scenes of sniper rifle and car chase behind the heroine are more exciting, but Luo Junyan is already absent-minded.
After the film was over, Luo Junyan took a taxi to take Zhou Huimin home, and never said a word of small talk from beginning to end.
When Zhou Huimin watched the taxi leave, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. It seemed that Luo Junyan had never appeared this night, and she had just had a dream.
At midnight, Luo Junyan knocked on the door of Brother Cheng’s house upstairs.
Cheng Ge actually didn’t sleep yet, but sat in front of the window with a cigar in his mouth.
After putting Luo Junyan in, Brother Cheng lifted Erlang’s legs and said with a relaxed look: “A Jun, at the annual summary meeting today, the army announced its annual performance. The contract amount was 33.27 million and the net profit was 19.25 million. Snowman Under the overall planning of the army and my actual leadership, the era has achieved such brilliant achievements in the first year of operation. I am very pleased. Of course, Azi and Awei are also indispensable, and their execution is worthy of praise. of.”
Luo Junyan poured two glasses of red wine and handed it to Brother Cheng. He carried a glass and nestled on the sofa, seemingly unresponsive to his words.
Brother Cheng saw that he was in a bad mood, kicked him twice, and said, “Pay attention to quality. Ah Jun, you also know that the Snowman Era will hold an anniversary banquet tomorrow. We have invited some representatives of important customers. It’s impossible for the army. Pulled out to accompany you to the premiere promotion. Didn’t your sister explain to you when she went home?”
Luo Junyan took a sharp sip, smiled, and said, “Master, congratulations on your wealth.”
Brother Cheng looked at him suspiciously, did not delve into it further, and said, “Army means that there will be no dividends this year. The company will borrow another money from the bank to buy an office building as its own property. Both Azi and I agreed. When the Snowman Times Building is available, the company’s weather will not be in this position at all. Moreover, it does not matter whether it can be rented out or not. Anyway, the land and real estate in Xiangjiang will definitely be valuable in the future. This transaction is done.”
Luo Junyan nodded mechanically, and said, “Master, can you help me write a script? This time I want a romantic movie. The male protagonist must be very mediocre, weak, and humble. A messy man who has no thoughts and is willing to be mediocre.”
Brother Cheng almost thought he had heard it wrong, and said, “Where did you drink fake wine just now? Didn’t I look forward to you, and what romance did you go to do? Besides, it’s just your setting, that’s love. Film? Isn’t this a tragic film?”
Luo Junyan lay on the sofa and said in a daze, “Sorrow is sorrow. The screenwriter’s remuneration is 100,000 yuan. If you don’t pick me up, you will find someone else.”
Brother Cheng stood up with anger, looked at Luo Junyan who had fainted, and shut his mouth several times before cursing.
In the end, Brother Cheng seemed to have thought of something, put his hands on his back, and snorted in glee: “The little monk went down to Huazhai. The old monk has confessed that the woman under the mountain is a tiger. When you see her, you must avoid it.”
The premiere of “Killer Couples” was very successful, and the average attendance rate of each theater exceeded 90%.
From the second day on, Luo Junyan started a frenzied propaganda work.
From morning to night, he will appear in front of different theaters, playing the plug-in guitar, and singing the songs “Premeditated” and “A Lovesick” in the film in a loop. Although these two songs have unique styles, they have been appreciated by some mainstream musicians, and they have become popular among the people very fast.
Contrary to everyone’s expectations, the box office data of the first week of “Killer Couples” was fixed at 9.42 million Hong Kong dollars, which is simply a hit, and the average attendance rate of the Golden Princess Cinemas is not lower than 90%.
People of all colors in the entertainment circle waiting to see a good show were all startled in a cold sweat, and they all sighed that Luo Junyan, the salted fish, could actually turn over.
As for the comments on this film, the newspapers all battled together. There are those who praise it very strongly, and those who dismiss it, and the opposition is quite sharp.
This is a normal reaction ahead of the times. The groups that control public opinion will always be divided into conservative and radical groups, and the ideological differences are completely irreconcilable.
In the end, the highly credible “Film Biweekly” in the film circle made a sound, and the title of the review article was: “Killer Couple File”, a new trend of gunfight action blockbuster that created a new trend of power aesthetics. It is a temporary stop to this media dispute.
Huang Jiadong is responsible for the follow-up matters of media public relations. Huang Jiadong has resigned from Tiantian Daily. Brother Cheng pulled him into the Snowman Era and became the assistant manager of the PR Department.
And Luo Junyan himself is trying his best to approach film companies from other cities. His goal is to get the money back as soon as possible. No matter what the market, he will require the buyout of the screening rights.
With the continued popularity of “Killer Husband and Wife” in Hong Kong, the gains from negotiations in other cities have been immense.
On the tenth day of Hong Kong’s release, Cathay Cinema, which is opposed to Shaw Cinemas in the Southeast Asian market, won the film’s screening rights in Nanyang before Shaw at a bid of 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars.
When the Hong Kong box office exceeded 15 million Hong Kong dollars, Dengkui Pictures bought out the Taiwanese projection rights for 5 million Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, Yang Dengkui also introduced Takeshita Films in Japan to Luo Junyan.
In the end, when it was released in Hong Kong to the third week, Takeshita Cinemas bought out the screening rights in Japan and South Korea for HK$4 million.
This time, the buyout price in Japan and South Korea is higher than that of “The Next Stop, Tin Hau”. Yang Dengkui still helped Luo Junyan a lot. He walked the rivers and lakes with faith first. The big guys usually don’t talk much, but they definitely value favors.
At present, the general release cycle of Xiangjiang’s films is two weeks, and “Killer Couple File” should be drawn at a box office of 18.68 million Hong Kong dollars.
However, on the New Year’s Day file starting on the 22nd, the new film “Reborn” was screened by Princess Golden. Seeing that Shaw Brothers and Jiahe’s two new films “The Legend of Fighting Sparrow” and “The Prodigal Son” are no match for Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, the attendance rate of “Killer Couples” in several core theaters remains high.
As a result, “Killer Couple File” was extended by the Golden Princess Cinemas to make an exception in several core theaters, in order to snipe Shaw Brothers and Jiahe’s New Year’s Day new film.
Luo Junyan picked up a big bargain for nothing. “Killer Couple File” was finally released for 19 days before it was completely closed. The box office finally set a record of 24.62 million Hong Kong dollars.
In the end, this box office record was set, and it was not unrelated to the fact that Luo Huaqian army sister attended two publicity activities.
The effect is really immediate. The people gathered together to see the real people, and the attendance rate rebounded strongly every minute, creating a small climax of watching movies in two days.
According to the agreement, on the second day after the box office exceeded 20 million, sister army and Luo Junyan had already completed the shooting of the BMW advertisement. Luo Junyan didn’t even mention anything about the salary, so the army sister offered to participate in the publicity activities. At least the reason for reciprocating her was able to convince her herself.
After the “Killer Couple File” was officially finished, it was finally confirmed that the money has been received and will be credited.
The implanted advertising sponsorship fee transferred from the Snowman Times was divided into 1.3 million Hong Kong dollars.
Sister Army is very picky about the brand merchants who have come in this time.
Only Dior and Victoria’s Secret are the clothing and fashion products, BMW is the car, McMulan is the firearm, and the sponsorship is the two multinational electrical companies Philips and Sony, and Xiangjiang Dixin Furniture. The Snowman era has lost 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars in revenue.
Out-of-town market buyout fees received 14.5 million Hong Kong dollars, Southeast Asia 5.5 million Hong Kong dollars, Taiwan 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and Japan and South Korea 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
The box office share in Hong Kong will not arrive so quickly. According to the agreement, the Golden Princess Theatre will pay before the Spring Festival, and the amount received is 12.31 million Hong Kong dollars. This billing period is already fine.
The total amount of funds in the special account of the gambling agreement that had been cleared before the Spring Festival will reach 28.11 million Hong Kong dollars, turning Luo Junyan’s dilemma in one fell swoop.
Now that there is no need to consider the gambling contract, there is no suspense about reaching the contract.
It doesn’t matter if Luo Junyan ended up just making a movie blindly, as long as it is guaranteed to be released in Hong Kong before December 1982, the contract terms will be reached.
