…
This year’s Lunar New Year pure Hong Kong films are, without exception, the world that takes place every two weeks.
In this life, since “God of Gamblers 2” was released a few years ago, the pure Hong Kong film is led by Cheng Long’s “Drunken Fist 2” (box office: 40.97 million Hong Kong dollars), Zhou Runfa’s “Citizen” Shaolin” (box office: 37 million Hong Kong dollars) followed closely, followed by Zhou Xingchi’s “King of Destruction” (box office: 36.9 million Hong Kong dollars), by the way, due to the Zhong Li of this life Di did not enter the film and television industry, and the heroine of “King of Destruction” was played by Qiu Shuzhen. In addition, Xinyicheng’s New Year’s New Year comedy “The House of the Rich” (box office: 37.3 million) also performed well. This year’s Lunar New Year is the only pure Hong Kong film that can compete with the biweekly film.
but–
Double Weekly Success and “The House of the Rich” will also be able to compete in pure Hong Kong films. The real box office champion of this year’s Hong Kong port, no, it should be the top three, and there is no double Monday percent share.
The box office winner of this year’s Lunar New Year is the thriller sci-fi film “Resident Evil” starring Xu Cun producer Lin Zhengying directed by Yang Ziqiong and American actress Michelle Rodriguez.
In the last life, in this period, because of too many shoddy productions, the audience began to get tired and indifferent to zombie-themed movies. In addition, Wang Jing’s gambling films and Xu Ke’s martial arts films began to become popular. The martial arts movies are gone. Few people dare to touch on the zombie-themed movies that were very popular for a while. In fact, the zombie movies at that time are indeed hard to come back, although Lin Zhengying has made funny movies such as “African Monk” and so on. It is a creative work that combines Maoshan magic, exotic customs, African natives of the comedy business card “God is Crazy”, and kind-hearted zombie ancestors vs. African giants, etc., but it is still powerless in the end, and Lin Zhengying’s movie journey is also presented After going downhill, Lin Zhengying, who didn’t even have the opportunity to make a movie, could only turn to the film field to make the first two trilogy of “Zombie Road Master” to save him from the star that has already gone to a stranger.
In this life, under the guidance, help and full support of Xu Cun, Lin Zhengying sharpened his sword for two years and directed “Resident Evil”, the first thriller science fiction movie in Hong Kong.
The taste of Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” is actually very different from the previous life’s “Resident Evil” – the biggest difference is that Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” directly uses 3D technology.
but–
Although Lin Zhengying directly used 3D technology and Xu Cun directed it, Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” and the previous life’s “Resident Evil” still have their own merits, at least Xu Cun thinks so.
This is not surprising. Although Xu Cun can give Lin Zhengying the creativity of “Resident Evil”, and he can also give Lin Zhengying a certain direction, but busy Xu Cun can’t go into every detail. Therefore, Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” is unavoidable. It integrates the will of the director Lin Zhengying and Yang Ziqiong and other actors. The image is that Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” is less thrilling than the previous “Resident Evil”, and inevitably incorporates a bit of dark humor. , is also more fancy and better-looking in fighting.
Regarding the changes in “Resident Evil”, Xu Cun sincerely said that it is not good or bad.
Before the release of “Resident Evil”, Xu Cun once watched it from the perspective of the audience, and then thought that Lin Zhengying’s “Resident Evil” was also very interesting, especially watching those horror scenes made by Lin Zhengying under the 3D effect, it was particularly exciting!
In addition, although Xu Cun can’t say whether the change in “Resident Evil” is good or bad, Xu Cun can be sure that after “Resident Evil”, it will be Lin Zhengying’s movie, and others can’t take it if they want to rob him, including him Xu Cun. Including the director of the last “Resident Evil” Paul Anderson.
This also saves Xu Cun a lot of trouble – when making the follow-up films of “Resident Evil”, Xu Cun no longer has to personally serve as a producer.
After the release of “Resident Evil”, although many viewers scolded DreamWorks and Lin Zhengying for showing them the disgusting thing “Resident Evil” during the Chinese New Year, the box office of “Resident Evil”, including word of mouth in the industry, shook ahead of other movies.
So much so that “Resident Evil” has not yet been completely drawn, and its box office has reached nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars, making it the most promising film to catch up with the box office miracle that “Jurassic Park” once created in Hong Kong!
Moreover, the box office of “Resident Evil” is not only fierce in Hong Kong, but also fierce in other regions, especially in Europe and the United States!
It is conservatively estimated that the total global box office of “Resident Evil” is as high as 640 million US dollars.
It is no exaggeration to say that with “Resident Evil”, Lin Zhengying has defeated Wang Jing, Xu Ke, Li An, Chen Xunqi, Wu Yusen and others to temporarily become the second best-selling director of Xiangjiang. Lin Zhengying, who was 42 years old at the time, Under the care of Xu Cun, not only did he not walk into a stranger, but he entered the golden age of his career with a radiant face.
The box office runner-up in this year’s Lunar New Year is China Star’s “Guardians of the Galaxy~www.mtlnovel.com~” which the Xiang brothers spent more than 100 million US dollars in investment and filmed “Guardians of the Galaxy”, which won 5,800 in Hong Kong With a box office of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, it has won a global box office of 594 million US dollars. A movie has made a Chinese star 6.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Moreover, this is only the direct income of the box office, not hidden income – after the shocking performance of “Guardians of the Galaxy”, the stock of China Star soared by 6% in a very short time. More than ten!
Just relying on the movie “Resident Evil”, the wealth of the Xiang brothers can be said to have doubled!
The third place at the box office of this year’s Lunar New Year is the animated film “The Lion King” supervised by Jeffrey, the general manager of DreamWorks Studios (US branch). “The Lion King” won a box office of more than 55 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. It grossed $310 million in North America and $580 million worldwide.
Judging from the box office results achieved by these seven films, today’s Hong Kong films are not only showing no signs of decline, but are prospering more and more.
But the reality is not so.
Not to mention other things, after “King of Destruction”, none of the other films in the Lunar New Year file even have a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.
It will be even worse in the future. After the two films of “” and “Shenlong Gambling Sage’s Victory”, the box office of other films is almost all below 4 million, so that the filmmakers can’t even return the original. Come on, if it wasn’t for the videotape channel to give them the bottom line, they would all have to pay for it.
People in the film industry have begun to call on the government to set up a “Film Development Council” to save Hong Kong films from the crisis.
It was also at this time that a film company with a pivotal position in the history of Hong Kong Film was established…
