In the theater, the audience kept reacting as the story developed, especially when the twist was revealed, there was a cry of exclamation.
People today do not have the vision of later generations to watch movies. The aura of Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Ka Fai is still there. They are not some has-been Hong Kong stars, but real superstars.
"Wushuang" is a bit more fresh and shocking, and is a genuine blockbuster.
Yinyin was also very excited to watch it and said: "Your film is still good-looking, much better than "Red Cliff"!"
"Alas, the audience of "Red Cliff" is pitiful! After watching the upper part, you ate a piece of shit, and then there is still the lower part. Eat it, you will feel uncomfortable, but don't eat it. You ate that piece of shit in vain."
Yao Yuan shook his head and sighed.
"Red Cliff Part 1" has a box office of 312 million, and "Red Cliff Part 2" will be released on January 7, and finally took 251 million yuan, which shows that many people are holding back.
There are also several movies in January, such as "The Dragon and the Phoenix", "Madagascar 2", "Lightning Dog", "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", etc.
Mostly cartoons.
Pleasant Goat is the first big movie. I originally wanted to collect all 12 Chinese zodiac animals, but I stopped filming after 7 movies. One was that the box office was getting worse and worse, and the other was that parents of the online mythical beast complained and it was banned for a period.
When the ban is lifted and I want to compete in the film market again, it has long ceased to dominate. Now everyone is watching "The Bear".
"..."
Yao Yuan stared at the screen. "Wushuang" was different from the original version. He could still watch it seriously.
When it was almost over, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned around and said, "I'll give you some shares in Jiahe!"
"Um?"
Yinyin was stunned and asked with her eyes.
Because the two of them had a tacit understanding, she voluntarily quit the company and did not participate in the affairs. Yao Yuan helped her to build Youzi Street. How could she be given shares again?
"Jiahe is different in Hong Kong. Including the overseas video website that will be created next, I will also help you invest some money and take some shares. The overseas stuff is for the future to eat up the stock price, and it counts as private money for both of us."
"Private money?"
Yinyin blinked, understood what he meant, and nodded: "Okay!"
"Well, I have to go to Hong Kong in a few days."
Yao Yuan hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
…………
"Liu Weiqiang said that he made this movie to let today's young people know what Fa Ge means - no need to ask, it means unparalleled handsomeness! In the film, Chow Yun-fat is possessed by Ma Ge several times, and his appearance is so good
, long legs, and most importantly, elegant, ruffian, and graceful. She is still the most charming silhouette in the golden age of Hong Kong films."
"Revealing the true face of the painter, and reviewing the truth of "Wushuang" in detail!"
"Starting from the post-event cigarette that Zhang Jingchu smoked..."
""Wushuang" plagiarized "The Usual Suspects" for real, don't wash it off!"
Since Yao Yuan got the UP host out in advance, the online movie viewing area was much more lively.
The technical conditions in 2009 have given some people the foundation to be a film and television UP host, and they are all analyzing "Wushuang".
If the movie becomes a hit, UP owners will have food to eat, and UP owners will attract traffic, which will also attract more people to watch the movie.
There are really no good movies to talk about, and the UP owners are also very embarrassed. Didn’t you know how much traffic the UP owners of station B got when "Chinese Tales" came out?
"Wushuang" became a hit at the box office in both places.
Yao Yuan rested for a few days, immediately started his new job, and flew to Hong Kong with Yu Jiajia.
Ax Mountain Road.
Opposite the old Jiahe studio was the same tea restaurant where Yao Yuan met Zou Wenhuai for the first time.
The 82-year-old former chairman of Jiahe is getting older, his face is covered with brown spots, he wears an old-school neat suit, and uses a cane in both hands. His eyes show nostalgia for the past from time to time.
"Mr. Zou!"
"oh……"
Zou Wenhuai turned his head very slowly, and his reaction seemed to be very slow. After a few seconds, he slowly stood up: "This is Mr. Yao, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, just sit down!"
Yao Yuan held his hands up, very politely.
He doesn't like these people in Hong Kong, but when it comes to things, there is something worthy of respect in Chow Wenhuai. He is one of the few filmmakers in the Chinese-speaking circle who has an overseas vision.
Yu Jiajia was very familiar with the other party and said with a smile: "Mr. Zou, by inviting you to meet us this time, we have fulfilled our promise back then."
"promise?"
Zou Wenhuai was slightly startled, and then his eyes lit up: "You guys really did it?"
"We were here back then, and I promised you that we would acquire a Hollywood company within three years. Just last month, we reached an agreement with Universal's Rogge Films, which will be officially announced in a few days. I would like to inform you in advance.
you."
"Roger Films...oh!"
Although Zou Wenhuai has retired from the industry, he always pays attention to industry news, and his face suddenly becomes unhappy. Rogge Pictures has released Jet Li's movies, and Jet Li has an old grudge with Golden Harvest.
In the early 1990s, Jet Li signed a contract with Golden Harvest and launched the "Once Upon a Time" series, which was a huge success.
After the expiration of the contract, Jet Li wanted to leave due to salary and other issues, but Golden Harvest forced him to keep him. Later, with the help of his agent Cai Ziming, he left Golden Harvest.
Then Cai Ziming was shot and killed.
Everyone seems to know who did this, but their guess may be wrong, because the truth will never be exposed. Nowadays, it is always said that domestic entertainment is a mess. Compared with the Hong Kong circle in the past, it is simply pure white lotus.
"..."
After Zou Wenhuai briefly lost his composure, he quickly regained his composure and asked, "What price did you offer?"
"$85 million!"
"Do you have any future plans?"
Yao Yuan gave a brief talk and said: "We plan to have a two-pronged approach both online and offline. We suffer from too few talents. We cannot dispatch them all from the mainland. We have to find a few local people in Hong Kong. I hope you can recommend some industry elites."
"Where's the request?"
"Obedient, capable, and patriotic!"
Zou Wenhuai laughed and said: "Yes, that's what I mean. I will try my best to select for you, but to be honest, I don't like your video website. A movie is a movie, and it is not a movie after leaving the theater."
"Then do you know about Facebook and YouTube?"
"What's the meaning?"
Yao Yuan respected the other party, but this respect was limited, and he said bluntly: "I mean, your time has passed."
"..."
Zou Wenhuai was silent, looking at the young man opposite and then at the old Jiahe studio outside. He slowly stood up with his cane and walked away without saying a word.
Yao Yuan stared at his back until he disappeared from sight, and sighed: "I remembered the lines of "Journey to the West"."
"We are still very kind!"
Yu Jiajia shrugged and said, "At least you controlled your mouth and didn't spray him on the spot."
…
Finished meeting Zou Wenhuai.
That night in the hotel, Yao Yuan and Yu Jiajia received several more friends, namely Wang Leilei, Shen Nanpeng and Zhou Yunfan's agent.
Zhou Yunfan went into politics and chose a reliable guy to take over the shares, but he did not participate in decision-making.
Xinli Media is in control of Jiahe. Xinli Media’s current shareholding composition is: 99 Entertainment 37%, Zhou Yunfan and Wang Leilei each account for 20%, and several investment institutions such as Shen Nanpeng account for 23%.
Several people chose to have a secret meeting in Hong Kong, and they really wanted to do something shady.
