The ending of the first season of (The Voice of Asia) does not just mean that five new stars and five good songs have begun to sell well in East and Southeast Asia.

Starting from the evening of the 28th, the four major mentor groups including Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Tan Yonglin, and Mei Yanfang will go on tour. These tours will also make the peak night of Ren Xianqi, Yang Gangli, Lin Zhixuan, and Han Hong.

Four contestants appeared as guests.

Of course, some failed ones, such as Sakai Izumi, Tai Zhengxiao, and Chen Huilong, also got a good song, which was a hit, and they will also make guest appearances.

Even people like Chen Xiaochun and Mok Wenwei, who have geographical advantages, do not lack the opportunity to make guest appearances occasionally. Chen Xiaochun has been a stage dancer for Zhang Guorong and others for many years. Mok Wenwei is the second generation, and her mother is one of the executives of ATV.

Because Ah Wing took part in Xu Ke's movie "The House of Gold", there were fewer concerts, but Hua Zai, Principal Tan, and Mei Yanfang's tour concerts were arranged more intensively and frequently.

From Haowan in Hong Kong to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the island country of South Korea and then to the mainland, I plan to play from the end of August to October in one go.

The Hung Hom Guild Hall, which can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators, heard that all the tickets before September 15th have been snapped up, and it has long been impossible to buy tickets.

This set of chain punch combinations really belongs to The Voice, where the disciples selected by their mentors are cultivated towards a true master-disciple relationship.

…………

New forces in the Hong Kong music scene are rising in cycles, and one group is prosperous.

Yongsheng Film Company.

Zhou Runfa and Zhang Zhijian walked into the office. Xiang Laoshi, who was sitting behind his desk and smoking, immediately stood up and greeted with a smile, "Brother Fa and Brother Jian are here, Lao Wu, make tea quickly."

Wu Yusen decisively acted as the tea-making boy. Afa and Ajian naturally refused Director Wu's service and took the initiative to find a teapot and a cup to pour themselves tea.

After some polite greetings, Xiang Laoshi smiled and said, "Afa, I heard that our film (The Bloody Heroes) and the film (Prison Storm 2) that you filmed for your old classmate Lin are a bit close to each other, right?"

Zhou Runfa laughed and said, "Brother Ten, what do you mean?"

"There have been more and more blockbusters in recent years. Even Ah Sing's (God of Cookery) can't keep up with the summer season. The Lunar New Year season is dominated by (Wanted 2) and (Spider-Man 1). Those big sci-fi and big action movies, who can

Dare to block? Whoever blocks will die."

"Last year, Cheng Long's (Miracle) was all swept to death. If it weren't for this year's (Police Story 4), Aaron's new company would have become a joke."

That's right, the summer vacation is basically over. The end of August and the beginning of September are the back-to-school season. Have you finished releasing the blockbuster movies? Come on, the time-travel version (Ip Man 2) will only be released on August 16th. At this stage, it is only available in various theaters.

It will be released online for two weeks.

In just over a week, September 9th and 10th, Ip Man 2 will start to be released one after another, which also includes the weekend after the end of the summer season and Teacher's Day.

After September 10th, "The Bloody Heroes" starring Chow Yun-fat and Cheung Chi Kin, and "Prison 2" starring Chow Yun-fat will be released one after another.

Arrives on the 10th...

Well, October 1st is National Day, 3rd is Mid-Autumn Festival, and October 26th is also the Double Ninth Festival. I avoided the big summer movie (God of Cookery) and planned to release it on September 30th.

A holiday and weekend schedule.

What about November? Starring Stephen Chow, Carina Lau, and Jim Carrey (The New Love) is also starting to be bombed. How normal is it for a project that was confirmed in mid-July to be released in November? There is also (Legend of Mermaid) to be included

It was released between (God of Cookery) and Xin Bu Qing.

Xiang Laoshi smoked a cigarette and puffed out, "The schedule is so tight. Also, I inquired in advance. In June last year, Shangmei Film Studio started producing the animated film (Chang'e Flying to the Moon). By December or next year

In January, what if the finished product is produced?"

"In one and a half years, with the strength of the team of the American film studio, we can make an animated movie like (Kung Fu Panda 1) or (The Lion King). I am not sure that it can be completely completed."

"So from September 10th to the end of September, before Ah Xing's (God of Cookery) is released, I will co-write two films starring you Ah Fa??"

Zhou Runfa smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ten, please speak directly. I'm just an actor, so I can't have that much influence. Now the film industry has really entered the era of gods fighting."

Xiang Laoshi waved his hand, "That's Brother Fa, you are being humble. You starred in (Let the Bullets Fly). Although it only took 17 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America, it took 19 million dollars in Europe and France alone."

U.S. dollars, a total of 51 million U.S. dollars across Europe."

"$68 million is equivalent to HK$530 million in Europe and the United States."

"Add in the mainland's RMB 560 million, Hong Kong's RMB 78 million, South Korea's RMB 110 million, and the island nation of Star, Malaysia and Thailand's port sales of RMB 30 million. This is a figure of more than RMB 1.3 billion in the world."

"As for (Jurassic Park 2), you also starred in it, and it cost 650 million US dollars worldwide. Brother Fa, you also went global and became successful."

Accompanied by the praise, Ah Fa laughed a little from ear to ear, but waved his hands again and again, "Brother Ten is just kidding, I am the best match in Jurassic 2, and I am also the best match in the human creative team."

At this time, Ah Fa is also one of the superstars who can go out of Asia and go global, not to mention the halo of (Jurassic Park 2).

The movie "Let the Bullets Fly" really brought fame and fortune to too many people. Although it only had 17 million US dollars in North America until the end of its release, it couldn't stand up to Europe, especially France, where Hans Cat's box office was high.

The total box office is up!

The global box office exceeded 1.3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Speaking of which...it only cost more than 160 million US dollars. It is not as good as Cheng Long's (Police Story 3) or even one or two (Twilight) movies. You can pick up any one of them and watch it.

Double.

But in this era, blockbusters and feature films starring major actors not only achieve high box office, but are also highly praised and sought after in East and Southeast Asia, including Europe. How can this not mean both fame and fortune?

With "Let the Bullets Fly", Ah Fa was not only nominated for Best Actor at this year's Academy Awards, but also won the Best Actor Trophy at the Golden Horse Film Festival and the Best Actor Trophy at the Asia Pacific Film Festival. He was also lucky enough to attend the Berlin International Film Festival (Golden Film Festival) with the entire cast.

Bear Award).

Golden Bear Award, Best Film at Berlin International Film Festival!

The only regret is that at the Berlin Film Festival, Jiang Wen was nominated for Best Director. He was only nominated without a trophy, but Jiang Wen was also nominated for Best Actor...

Therefore, in the past year or so, Ah Fa's popularity has skyrocketed. The filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" was completed last fall, followed by "The Bloody Duo". If it hadn't been negotiated in advance, it would have been filmed long ago.

Around that time, his salary should have been increased.

But there was nothing I could do. It was also in late April last year. I had first agreed to shoot with Nick Cheung Chi-kin (Bloody Heroes), and then Zhao Donghuai called Jiang Wen's name, including his name to prepare for "Bullets Flying".

Xiang Lao Shi then said, "The schedule is tight and there are so many blockbuster movies, and I don't want to lose money, so for the movie (The Bloody Heroes), I had a chat with Lao Wu and asked if we could go back to some major cities in the mainland for a roadshow.

?”

"Road shows can also bring in box office, right? It may make you a little tired, but as long as it helps the box office, I will definitely give you a big red envelope afterwards."

Zhou Runfa was confused, and Zhang Zhijian scratched his head in astonishment, "A road show? We don't know anything. It would be easy if we could be like big singers like Rong Ge and Hua Ge. At worst, we can tour concerts like European and American Xuanfa...

…”

"We don't know how to sing and dance, so we can't act in plays."

Xiang Lao Shi laughed, "To tell you the truth, I haven't formally thanked you, Brother Jian. Last year when I was planning to film "Blood", I asked you to recommend a few good new actors for me. You recommended Hu Jun, Guo Tao, Zhang Jiayi and others.

…”

"Xiao Hu is amazing now. Although the starring role in "The Legend of Concubine Wan Gui" is average in Europe and the United States, it has grossed 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars at the global box office. He is the leading male lead, but in "Blood" he was hired to play the role of the drug lord Wang Hai.

Professional killer boss, I’ve made a lot of money from this bargain.”

"Brother Jian, the two red envelopes here are for you and Xiao Hu. As long as you are willing to perform on the road, you will not be treated badly afterwards. By the way, you can't sing, but Awen can. She is a singer herself."

In this version (The Bloody Two), Chow Yun-fat is still the killer Xiao Zhuang, and Zhang Zhijian replaces Li Xiuxian as the policeman Li Ying. The two are a duo.

The heroine is still Ye Qianwen.

The ones that made Xiang Laoshi extremely happy were Hu Jun and Zhang Jiayi. Now one of them is the leading male lead in ancient costumes and romance movies, and Zhang Jiayi is one of the Kaifeng F4 in the popular movie bombing East and Southeast Asia (Bao Qingtian).

It is basically impossible for this movie to lose money due to the appeal of this star. If it does more road shows, such as traveling to the hometowns of mainland actors such as Beijing, Nandu, Chang'an, etc., will the appeal be worse?

After all, the movie was waiting to be scheduled at the beginning of the year, and it has been waiting until September!

Zhang Zhijian waved his hands repeatedly and tried to shirk it several times. In the end, he couldn't stand Lao Shi's enthusiasm, so he reluctantly accepted the red envelope. Then, the road show...

In the past, there were basically no roadshows for Hong Kong movies, just singers holding concerts. However, serious roadshows can be traced back to the 1910s and 1920s, when the film industry's roadshows began in Europe and the United States.

Just like in the original track, before the movie of Hong Jinbao and others was released on Hong Kong Island, somersaults and martial arts routines were played on ATV on the TV station. It was also one of the road show situations. It is just that Hong Kong Island is too small and does not need to travel from city to city.

go.

Zhou Runfa also agreed with a wry smile.

He always felt that this was Xiang Laoshi using another way to involve celebrities, and once again launched a new type of involution method, but giving money? Huh?

Seeing that both of them agreed, Xiang Laoshi continued to pour tea, "You have agreed and you have time, so it will be easy. I will arrange for Lao Wu to contact officials from various places in the mainland. If you want a road show, you must have someone from the mainland."

It only takes support from the leadership.”

"Whether it involves flights, reception schedules, or arranging venues, it allows the creative team to directly face the audience, journalists, media friends, chat and play, and there must be support."

Today is only August 28th, which is still early before September 10th. I can contact you more than ten days in advance to make arrangements and design the itinerary.

He had never played it before, so he still exploited the ideas and plans that Old Wu came up with.

Talking about Xiang Laoshi makes me want to vomit blood. I took over Lao Wu's contract in 1987 and held it in my hands for more than three years. I only made one movie after Ma was so desperate. Before it was released, I encountered such cruel competition for schedules.

.

Who can he talk to to reason with?!

Think again about Wang Jiawei's "Days of Being Wild". Although it was said that it was finished and produced, Xiang Laoshi went to take a look and couldn't understand what the guy was filming. Ah Fei was also ill-fated. At first

The protagonists of Hua Zai, Ah Rong and Miao Qiaowei, are both supporting actors.

Hua Zai left after being patted, Ah Rong ran away after a few months of sinking, Wang Jiawei started taking various pictures of Miao Qiaowei...

After being patted, A Miao ran away and escaped from the trap.

Then Wang Jiawei waits on the left, waits on the right, even if Ah Wing finishes filming (Farewell My Concubine), he is rushing to enter (The Voice of Asia), what kind of variety show is that? What kind of singing competition is it?

Even if (The Voice of Asia) is coming to an end step by step, what awaits Ah Wing is another concert tour, with the addition of Xu Ke (The Golden Globe) as the leading actor??
