China Entertainment has produced many series of movies in Xiangjiang since 198o. Main volume Chapter 185 "Mr. Zombie". Even in the later period of the decline of Xiangjiang movies, it was still able to come up with several series of movies to support its appearance, such as "Infernal Affairs"
In the golden age of the 1980s and 1990s, there were countless classic series, such as the "God of Gamblers" series, the "Prison Series" series, the "Best Partner" series, the "Once Upon a Time" series, the "Police Story" series...
....It’s simply countless.
Among them, there is a series of movies that every Hong Kong movie lover cannot forget, and it is also a series that many people in the universe will not let go of, the "Mr. Zombie" series.
With an investment of 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars, the box office in Hong Kong has exceeded 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Southeast Asia has exceeded 100 million. In a formal sense, this movie has once again brought glory to the long-dormant zombie genre.
In a practical sense, it is a movie that allows investors to make a lot of money.
The first movie that Wu Jianye got in Hong Kong was the movie "Mr. Zombie".
In fact, before this, Wu Jianye thought whether it would be more appropriate to use the two movies "Best Partner" or "Happy Ghost". After all, these two movies are closer, and "Best Partner" is the third movie.
Once upon a time, Hong Kong's movie broke the local box office record of 2,000,000, but "The Best Partner" will be released this year, so it will definitely be too late.
The movie "Happy Ghost" will not be released until 1984. Although the local box office is not as good as "Mr. Zombie", the investment is also low.
It is a pity that Zhu Xiucai, the soul of this movie, is none other than Huang Baiming, one of the three bosses of New Art City. Now that the Seven Monsters of New Art City are ambitiously preparing to do something big, they will definitely not
I will accept invitations from outside film companies.
The movie "Mr. Zombie" is different. The lead actor Lin Zhengying is just an underappreciated actor in the Hong family. Hung Kam-bao would definitely have no objection to using him. The most important thing is that through this movie, he can be with Hung Kam-bao.
Jiahe is connected online, and you can rent Jiahe's theaters when the movie is released.
The three major theater chains in Hong Kong are Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess.
Shaw Brothers only shows movies from its own company, and Princess Jin has her biological son Xinyi Cheng. Although Golden Harvest also has a lot of movies, to be honest, at this stage, it is easier to talk to than both Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin.
"Mr. Wu wants to borrow Ah Ying?" Hong Jinbao was slightly stunned when he heard that Wu Jianye wanted to borrow Lin Zhengying.
"Yes, I have watched several of Mr. Bruce Lee's movies, and I have a deep impression of Lin Zhengying, so I want to use him as the leading actor in my movie this time!" Wu Jianye said.
In fact, Lin Zhengying was also quite unlucky. When Bruce Lee became famous, Lin Zhengying and Chen Huiyi could be regarded as Bruce Lee's right-hand men. Later, Bruce Lee was going to Hollywood to exhibit, and he planned to take Lin Zhengying there. As a result, Bruce Lee passed away mysteriously. Lin Zhengying
Without his biggest supporter, he turned to Hong Jinbao.
Hong Jinbao studied under Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuan, and most of the Hong family members under him were his brothers, while Lin Zhengying studied under Pink Chrysanthemum. There are so many people in the Hong family group, so naturally when good opportunities come to him, they are reserved for himself first.
Senior brother.
Later, Lin Zhengying became famous with "Mr. Zombie", but he also drank too much and died young...
Hong Jinbao thought for a while: "There is no problem in borrowing Ah Ying. I just need to tell him. I wonder what kind of movie Mr. Wu is going to make and how much will he invest?"
"My movie is inspired by Brother Sanmao's "Ghost Fighting", so I am planning to shoot a movie of this type. Do you want to invest? The tentative price is HK$8 million!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Although the investment in "Mr. Zombie" in the previous life was 8.5 million, that was in 1985. Prices are not that high now. Coupled with the salary issue, it is estimated that 8 million can be obtained.
After hearing about the investment, Hung Kam-po couldn't calm down. An investment of 8 million? You must know that the box office of the movie "Ghost Fighting" in Hong Kong last year was only more than 5 million. The highest box office of a movie in Hong Kong last year was "" starring the three Hui brothers.
"Modern Bodyguard" has a local box office of over RMB 1.7 million. Do you think you can make money like this?
"Chasing Girls", which ranked second, only had a box office of over 9.4 million.
Now Wu Jianye actually wants to use an investment of 8 million to shoot a movie, and a little-known actor will star in it.
Hong Jinbao could already conclude at this time that Wu Jianye was just a layman who didn't understand anything and was just a rich second-generation playboy.
"Wu Sheng is really courageous, Hong admires him!"
"I am also trying my luck. I will need more help from Brother Sanmao in the Hong Kong film industry in the future!"
Although Hong Jinbao thinks that Wu Jianye is a layman who doesn't understand anything, Hung Jinbao does not dislike people like Wu Jianye. Filmmakers like this kind of people the most. People are stupid and have a lot of money. What else can be better than such investors?
Better?
Although Hong Jinbao relies more on Jiahe now, if he has his own funds, he can also be more confident when negotiating with Jiahe.
"I dare not say help. Since Wu Sheng is so courageous, I can't stop him. Besides, Aying is my brother. Of course I hope he can get along well." Hong Jinbao looked very grand, thinking that he might also use it in the future.
Seeing Wu Jianye, Hong Jinbao continued: "If Mr. Wu still needs help with anything, just ask, I will definitely be able to help you without any problem!"
"That's great. I'm dissatisfied with Brother Sanmao. My company has just been established and we don't have any equipment for shooting. If Brother Sanmao is willing to help tell Jiahe, Wu will be grateful!"
"This is not a problem. Jiahe's equipment is already available for rent. Brother Wu, don't worry about what I say!"
At this time, the two have begun to treat each other like brothers!
"Thank you so much, Brother Sanmao!" Wu Jianye thanked him.
"Brother Wu is just being polite when he says these things. I don't know where your company is. Why don't I ask Aying to go find you, Brother Wu tomorrow?" Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
"Brother Hong is so helpful in this matter. I think it's better to do this tonight. I will host a banquet for Brother Hong. If Brother Hong has any good brothers, can he call over and we can all sit down together?" Wu Jianye suggested.
Although Hong Jinbao and others are not involved in the club, they are full of gangster atmosphere. They are still very loyal without violating their own interests. Wu Jianye also wants to take this opportunity to deepen his relationship with them.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Hong Jinbao laughed.
"Then let's make an agreement. I'll treat you to Yong Kee Restaurant tonight, and Brother Sanmao will definitely appreciate it!"
