Chapter 086 Hong Kong Films Hurricane Small Earthquake(1/3)

Zhao Donghuai nodded at Fatty Jing's words, "You can create the script yourself, and you can check the rest. I can just find a producer. There are also TVB's Zhou Xingxing, Wu Zhenyu and others who are more optimistic about you. Those few are not capable of taking on the responsibility now."

Starring, arrange some supporting roles to practice."

"It's best to give full play to your directorial skills and give them more guidance on their acting skills. But Shit Pei Pei and Xia Sanlu don't go after beauties!"

The Royal Sisters series is also a small investment, with a box office of over 10 million and high revenue. Replacing Miss Yang with Hu Huizhong would not feel inconsistent at all, and Sister Hu is even more beautiful.

As for the acting skills of Xing Zai and others, they still need to be improved.

At this point, Zhao Donghuai continued to laugh, "Although Ajing, you and my Zhao family don't have any contract, you have made money after filming. If you have any ideas in the future, you can always come to me for investment."

Wang Jing was overjoyed. He smiled and thanked her and then rolled his eyes, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, if you want to hire Miss Guan, Miss He and the others to film other movies, how much will they be paid?"

He had been thinking about a romantic comedy. After the Spring Festival, he started filming The Frog Prince for Shaw Brothers. It was released in April. It included actresses such as Zhang Manyu, Zhong Xianhong, Guan Jiahui and others.

.

It also earned more than 18 million at the local box office. If it had been placed in 1983, it would have been in the top five of the year.

Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and then nodded, "I want to ask them to talk to you. It's all business. You can just give each of them 200,000 yuan. My company takes very little commission from artists. I don't expect them to make money."

Fatty Jing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, his smile froze.

Aunt Qingxia only has 200,000 yuan for a movie. How dare you ask for so much for a divorced, divorced, and newly married young woman? There is no such thing as such a scam.

Not to mention that Guan Jiahui's acting status is far inferior to Aunt Qingxia.

Aunt Qingxia is only 29 years old now, and she is still the queen of artistic films.

Director Zhao looked at him calmly and said, "Don't worry, I'll make a lot of money when you do that. Just wait a month, after the Spring Festival. Jiahui and the others won't be as popular as they are now."

Singers only enter the film industry to attract money. Wait a minute, Guan Jiahui and the others are definitely a beautiful girl group. Even if she is a fake beautiful girl, why is she attracting firepower?

"By the way, the policewoman series stars Hu Huizhong, and Jiahui and Ah Qing can make guest appearances. There is no charge for guest appearances. The most important thing is that it is the signature of the Liangliang group."

Fat Boy is filming The Royal Sisters, and Johnnie To even if Infernal Affairs 1 is released after the Spring Festival, he can continue to film Infernal Affairs 2 about Nee Yongxiao and the Ni family after the new year, and form a New World trilogy.

Cheng Xiaodong, Lin Zhengying, and Director Zhao plan to let the two of them come up with a new script for hurricane rescue.

In this way, his entertainment company will be officially operational and will not be idle.

As for Director Zhao himself, he hasn’t decided what to film yet...but he still has a lot of investment plans. He knows one thing. The Hollywood movie Back to the Future was released in 1985 and cost 19 million U.S. dollars, but it was only in A-Mei.

It took in $210 million at the box office and accumulated a global total of $380 million.

That’s 3.8 times 7.8, which is more than 2.9 billion Hong Kong dollars in box office!

What is the concept? The total box office of all film companies in Hong Kong Island in a year is far from reaching that peak!

When it comes to a major Hollywood drama, it deserves the title if it is comparable to the real estate and financial industries of Hong Kong Island in terms of profit and financial position.

It's like Back to the Future. Its screenwriter and director came up with the first version of the script in 1980 and signed a script agreement with a giant like Columbia. However, Columbia never wanted to film it because it felt that it would be a loss. It lasted for four years and was rejected by every company.

Hollywood giants refused and refused to film...

It was not started until the end of November 1984.

This is quite stupid, but Zhao Donghuai knows that if he goes to invest now, there is a 80% chance that he will be cheated by the Hollywood group. He may be asked one after another for an investment of 10 to 20 million dollars, and will continue to ask for additional capital injections.

In the end, the box office sales of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars had nothing to do with him. No matter how he did the accounting, he would still lose money. I would like to make an appointment with him as an investor next time.

The depth of Hollywood is comparable to that of Hong Kong's film industry, Wanwan, and distribution in various parts of Southeast Asia.

………………

On January 4th, due to the working day, the box office of Hurricane Rescue was almost halved, from 180 to just over 1 million. On the 5th, it was over 900,000, on the 6th, 1 million, and on the 7th it soared again to over 1.3 million.

This is a complete week starting from the 1st. In the first seven days, the box office revenue was over 9.3 million.

It is no less than a small earthquake in the Hong Kong film industry.

1983 has just passed. In the whole year of 1983, including the emergence of "The New World" in Hong Kong, there were only ten movies with a box office of over 10 million.

Now that it's New Year's Day, hurricane relief has cut more than 9 million yuan in one week. The fiery and furious attitude really scares many people.

The only one who reacted calmly to this was Director Zhao. He knew that it was promoted by a popular singer and the quality of the film was high enough. He could not produce such a hurricane rescue, which was inferior to Zhang Guorong, Chen Pak Keung, Xu Xiaofeng and others.

Merry Christmas, right?

As time goes by, Zhang Guorong's "I Want" single continues to gain momentum. In two weeks, 80,000 copies were sold in Japan, more than 60,000 in South Korea, and more than 40,000 in Wanwan. This is 200,000 sales. Including the three regions and the country's first

The weekly data is already 330,000.

Combined with the sales volume of Wa Niu Bu Luo, a native of Hong Kong Island, the total sales volume is chasing 500,000 copies, which is ten platinum figures in the Hong Kong Island music scene!

In particular, the sales of the single are far more popular among the Guilao, Banana, and Colonial groups than among the Chinese and Asian groups.

Let alone the beginning of 1984, even twenty or thirty years later, this will still stimulate many people to start supporting celebrities who are popular in Europe and the United States for some sense of honor.

Those fans who are obsessed with Zhang Guorong are also extremely enthusiastic, which further promotes the increase in the box office of Hurricane Rescue.

When fans go in, they will also decisively find that Ah Wing plays a street-fighting, bad boy, the kind who would not regret his death. It just so happens that Zhang Guorong has been calling on fans to support hurricane rescue. He is sincere and sincere, and he has done so more than once.

He smiled and said that the director of the movie, Director Zhao, was his second best talent in the music industry...

If it weren’t for Director Zhao’s support in the new world, he wouldn’t be where he is today as well as the current composer and lyricist of “IWant”.

Zhao Donghuai is indeed the songwriter of this explosive song, a super popular brainwashing song that can bombard the white world in Europe and America!

If you think about it this way, coupled with the deliberate guidance of some fans, even those who find themselves fooled after entering the theater will feel that Director Zhao is really a good person, a noble person of Ah Rong and Lei Lisi.

Without Director Zhao, Leslie would still be just a newbie who had endured eight years and barely managed to reach the gold record standard in Hong Kong Island with her last album. She was not the current international superstar with the tendency to start a prairie fire!

That's okay.

Just curse and continue watching the movie, Hurricane Rescue is really good!

According to the original track, the first Hong Kong movie to break 10 million box office was Cheng Long's junior brother, and the first one to break 20 million was The Best Partner, followed by the second part of Lucky Star next year in 1985, and Lucky Star Gaozhao hit 3000 yuan.

Ten thousand.

The Best Companion 3, which was released a dozen days later, was still short of hundreds of thousands, stopping at just over 29 million.

However, with the popularity of hurricane rescue, Zhang Guorong became popular, and thousands of songs by Guan, He and Hu were on the radio song request list, all of which were chasing the popularity of "I Want".

In areas where Cantonese is popular, Qian Qian Que Ge is more popular than "IWant". Only outside, it is far less popular than the latter.

But this has shown to the outside world that Hong Kong's first blockbuster film to break the 30 million box office may be coming if nothing else happens.

A trend that can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye has once again added fuel to the fire for Zhao Donghuai, a new great director. For a time, let alone outsiders, those who are not familiar with it, including Johnnie To, who has already started to do post-production for Infernal Affairs 1, have done it more than once.

Called to complain, if I had known he would have turned on the phone a few months later.

Let’s continue to use the assistant director of hurricane rescue.

Nowadays, people outside are saying that Director Zhao is a veritable star-making machine. New World has become famous and a large number of people are rushing behind the scenes and frontstage.

The hurricane rescue was even more popular.

It was under such circumstances that Zhao Donghuai received a call from Huayuan Group. He had sold more than half of the first batch of car windshields shipped to the mainland...

More than 30 million Hong Kong dollars have been received, and I am going to call him first.

Zhao Donghuai was surprised, how fast! But when he thought about it seriously, his car glass was equivalent to 240 mainland dollars per piece in Hong Kong. 10 million Hong Kong dollars was roughly equivalent to 4 million mainland dollars now, all based on the current exchange rate.

The first batch of goods he purchased was less than 20,000 yuan for car windshields.

Such a small amount of stuff was sprinkled in Yangcheng, Shanghai and Beijing, and it only amounted to 6,000 car windshields in one place.

Those groups of powerful people each took hundreds of pieces of glass, each earning dozens or millions, and then divided it up.

When they get the goods, they don't have to distribute it to every retail buyer immediately. They can slowly negotiate business with auto repair shops and auto parts factories.

But I was slow to get the goods from Director Zhao... At least a dozen competitors from all over the place snatched up all the goods.

It's been about ten days since he started doing business. It's not incredible that powerful people have pooled together money, borrowed money, loans, etc. to achieve their small goals. One Lao Wang earned more than 3 million yuan by flipping corn in 1983.

At today's discount, it's 7 to 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

He bought more than half of it in ten days, and the profit was the same as printing money. This is true for him, and it is also the profit of printing money for powerful people.

After thinking about this, Zhao Donghuai planned to accept the money happily and plan the next batch, allowing Huayuan to handle the transactions on his behalf. He still relied on the advantages and support of stacking BUFF.

In this era, newspaper bosses, those who control the power of public opinion and media, have taken too great advantage.

"Most people can't experience the joy of picking up money, but I'm still very short of money."

"How about a simulation, what will be the development results if I invest in Hollywood's Back to the Future?"

He knew that the chances of outsiders being cheated when investing in Hollywood were too high. However, Back to the Future produced a trilogy in just a few years. The first part sold for $380 million, and the second part sold for $330 million.

Ten million dollars, the third part sold 240 million dollars.

The total value is nearly 950 million U.S. dollars. What is the concept? This is an income of 7 billion Hong Kong dollars!

And that's just box office revenue.

If you include the rental and sale of video tapes and other peripherals, it can easily exceed 10 billion Hong Kong dollars!

A trilogy of movie series, with a total profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars? Even if this is not a year, Zhao Donghuai may be cheated, but... what about another way?

Now find the screenwriter and director and say how much money will I invest for you, and you will direct, but sell me the rights, especially the sequel rights.

Then I gave up and waited for your first movie to sell nearly 400 million U.S. dollars at the box office. Then I sold off the rights to the sequel. The one-time price of 10 million U.S. dollars is not too much, right?
To be continued...
