"Liu Lang, I read the script of your "Shaolin Football". It's very interesting, but can it be filmed well? I always feel it's unreliable!"
Mr. Shao and Liu Lang are talking about cooperation. Liu Lang has just written a script called "Shaolin Football". The story is very interesting. It tells the story of a young Shaolin Temple disciple who came to Hong Kong Island to seek life, but he encountered obstacles everywhere.
, and later accidentally showed himself
The kung fu of Ji Jingang Leg was discovered by a middle-aged man who once played match-fixing and lost his leg. The middle-aged man asked him to play football for self-salvation. The young man agreed to make money and then found his former teacher.
The brothers formed a Shaolin football team to participate in the competition.
Yes, this is the movie "Shaolin Football" released in Liu Lang's previous life in the year 2000. This movie has a total box office of 300 million yuan worldwide, and 70 million yuan in box office in Hong Kong Island alone. The result is Hong Kong Island
Top three in history.
The biggest selling point of this movie is the special effects, as well as the nonsensical acting skills of the humor master Zhou Xingxing. With the help of Industrial Light and Magic in the special effects, there is no problem, and Zhou Xingxing has already emerged. Last year, he won the role of "The Gambler"
It's refreshing. His acting skills are of their own and Zhou's style has already taken shape. This year he starred in "Fight Back to School" and won the first place in the box office in Hong Kong this year. It can be said that he is out of control.
Liu Lang is convinced that as long as this movie can reach the heights of its previous movies, it will definitely earn more box office than its previous movies. After all, Asian movie fans have never really understood what real action special effects are.
Mr. Shao believed Liu Lang and nodded after hearing what he said.
"Liu Lang, you said there is no problem in casting Zhou Xingxing. He is an artist signed by our company. He has been very popular in the past two years and has great appeal. However, the special effects of the movie are too mysterious. Only your Industrial Light and Magic can do it."
We can’t create the effect!”
Liu Lang has already drawn all the special effects shots of the entire movie. Mr. Shao has never seen such almost mythical shots. His understanding of movies is still in the studio era. Action movies have to be strict at best.
A wire is tied behind the actor's back to show the flying action.
"Don't worry, old man. I guarantee that your Shaw Group will make a lot of money this time. By the way, Hua Han also wants to invest this time. How about I bring him in?"
"Hua Han? That guy wants to clear his name...Okay, since you opened your mouth, no problem, but I have to take the lion's share!"
"No problem, this time we Shengtang will provide a special effects team, and we will not spend any extra money. The final profit will be divided between the Shaw Brothers Group and Huahan. Moreover, this movie will be introduced to the mainland for release. I estimate that it will be released all over the world."
The box office can reach 300 million yuan, with an investment of 30 million yuan, more than ten times the profit, is it enough?"
"Three hundred million? God, let alone 300 million, I am satisfied with 100 million. Haha, it is a pleasure to cooperate with you. I thought you had forgotten me, an old man. Okay, great!"
Mr. Shao was a little dissatisfied with Liu Lang before because he established a bank with the Huo family. Everyone could see that the Huo family's $500 million was because of Liu Lang, who probably made a fortune during the island country's financial crisis. He Shao
Why doesn't our group have such luck?
Now Liu Lang said that this movie can earn 300 million yuan. Although it is RMB, it is still enough.
What is the concept of 300 million? Liu Lang’s budget for this movie was only over 30 million. Who wouldn’t be tempted by nearly ten times the income?
Last year, Zhou Xingxing's "Fighting Back to School" was released. The local box office in Hong Kong exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars, becoming the first in history. However, this movie was not introduced to the mainland. It also made some money through video tapes in the later period, but the total box office was not
More than 100 million, Mr. Shao most hopes that movies from Hong Kong Island can be released in the mainland. The review requirements for movies in the mainland are different from those in Hong Kong Island. Moreover, Hong Kong Island is still under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, so there are certain obstacles in communication between them.
If Liu Lang is involved, a different situation will arise. With him as a high-level guest of the country, the mainland will definitely seriously consider it. If the movie can be released in the mainland, it is possible to have a box office of 300 million.
Today is the opening ceremony of the "Hong Kong Investment Bank". The Huo family is a first-class family in Hong Kong Island. It has a reputation in both political and business circles. Many celebrities from Hong Kong Island have come to support them. Liu Lang is not familiar with them and only goes with the Huo family and the Shao family.
Although the relationship between other rich people is not close, in fact most of the rich people have conflicts with each other, but many people gather around a British man.
"Old sir, is that the British Governor of Hong Kong Island?"
Liu Lang pointed at the British man.
"Well, yes, his name is David. He is the current governor of Hong Kong Island. I heard that he will step down next year. The middle-aged man in his fifties next to him should be his successor."
Mr. Shao is eighty years old this year and is highly respected. Although the British government discriminates against Chinese people, they must be respectful to those big families, otherwise Hong Kong Island will not have a good life. Therefore, Mr. Shao knows a lot of inside information and even the next Governor
The candidates are also clear.
"So, that person should be the last Governor of Hong Kong Island!"
Liu Lang looked over and saw that he was a white man with quite a gentlemanly demeanor.
"Haha, that's right. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he should be the last governor. In another six years, the British will be gone!"
The old gentleman smiled and nodded in reply.
"Old sir, how do all walks of life in Hong Kong view the handover now?"
Liu Lang asked.
"This... Well, Liu Lang, to tell you the truth, old people like us are of course in favor of the return. The Chinese nation is our roots, and returning fallen leaves to their roots is our long-cherished wish. It will soon be realized now, but young people
Some people have different opinions. They believe that China is too poor and will drag down Hong Kong Island after its return, causing everyone's living standards to drop.
This is still one aspect. The key is the instigation of those Western countries behind the scenes. Although the country and the United Kingdom signed the statement, they still secretly make trouble and let those young people take to the streets to cause trouble. This is nothing more than creating public opinion and making people feel uneasy.
If this kind of sentiment pervades and returns in the future, there will be unstable factors in society, and the country will be in trouble.
Of course, most people are still optimistic, it's just a fly spoiling the pot of porridge."
The old gentleman still has a very profound vision, but he can't help it. He is just a businessman, and Hong Kong Island is still managed by the British.
"Yes, this is a trick often used by Western countries. They do one thing on the surface but another behind the scenes. In the final analysis, they are full of hostility to our country, but that doesn't matter. National reunification is the general trend and a historical necessity. Now we
We are still poor, but we will be much better when we return to China. In ten years, the country will definitely have great achievements. If we give the country twenty years, haha, I believe that even the United States will not dare to say anything random anymore!"
"Haha, that's right. With a genius like you, the country is destined to rise, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see it by then. That's the world for you young people!"
The old gentleman patted Liu Lang on the shoulder and said.
