Chapter 460 The shock of the Hong Kong film industry (4100+ chapters~)
"New Dragon Inn" was released in Hong Kong for one week, and the box office reached 19.92 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the box office of this film in Hong Kong will definitely exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars or even 40 million Hong Kong dollars.
Wu Jianye, a mainland director, no one would question whether a mainland director would be acclimated if his films were brought to Hong Kong. No one would question the director who has made two films with a box office of over 30 million in a row.
His talent and control of the film market.
The most important thing is that the movie "New Dragon Inn" has also achieved impressive results in terms of reviews in the Hong Kong film industry.
According to the latest rating of "Black and White Image", the rating of "New Dragon Inn" has reached 90 points, which is enough to prove the popularity of this movie in the hearts of Hong Kong audiences.
"So far, the best martial arts movie I have ever seen, bar none!"
"The desert, the yellow sand, I hope I am Zhou Huaian!"
"Everyone has a world in their mind, and Longmen Inn is the world in my mind!"
From these words of praise, it can be seen that the audience in Hong Kong loves this movie. In fact, before this, martial arts movies in Hong Kong have been in decline, just like the zombie theme that emerged in the past two years. With the rise of "Zombie"
With the success of "Mr.", countless movies of the same type appeared in Hong Kong.
In just a few years, movies with this theme have been killed by Hong Kong film companies, and now only Lin Zhengying is left to support zombie-themed movies.
The same is true for martial arts movies. Before that, martial arts movies were once a box office guarantee for Hong Kong movies, but like zombie movies, they were played to death.
At that time, the martial arts movies in Hong Kong pursued hard-hitting kung fu, such as the "One-Armed Sword" series. There were five movies in the entire series, and they were shot by different film companies. Because of this theme, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest were still competing against each other.
Bo Gongtang.
However, as movie audiences became tired of this type of movies, martial arts movies were completely lonely in the 1980s. This is why everyone was not optimistic about Wu Jianye before.
In fact, it is not just the viewers of "Black and White Image" who left so many complimentary comments about "New Dragon Gate Inn" that they can hardly contain it.
Even "Movie Biweekly", which has always been at odds with Fengge Entertainment, published an article praising "New Dragon Inn" for the first time.
"This is destined to be a movie that will leave a strong mark in the history of martial arts movies and the history of Chinese movies. You can even say that this movie opens another chapter in martial arts movies. In the past, the pattern of martial arts movies in Hong Kong has always been
They are all limited to the scope of family feuds, and few can expand to the scope of the country. But "New Dragon Inn" is different. The small inn interprets the love and hatred of family, country and the world. The most important thing is that this movie
It has also made huge changes in the way martial arts movies are presented. The previous method of hard work and hard work has become outdated!"
"Director Wu Jianye creatively showed everyone another way of martial arts. It turns out that fighting scenes can be so romantic and so tense, especially the last battle in the desert, which made people's blood rush while watching it.
I have to be attracted by the pictures inside.”
Looking at the compliments from "Movie Biweekly", Jiang Zhiqiang sat across from Wu Jianye and said with a smile, "The Academy Awards have given up and found me two days ago. I hope we can put aside our old grudges."
, and at the same time, I proposed that I would like to meet with you."
The Academy Awards are no longer cowardly. With Fengge Entertainment taking control of Debao Palace, it can now be said that Fengge Entertainment is the only one. If the Academy Awards still want to be held in Hong Kong, then
It must have the support of Fengge Entertainment, otherwise, the Academy Awards will be destined to become a short-lived awards ceremony.
Wu Jianye tapped the table gently and said, "Just talk to them on behalf of Fengge Entertainment, and I will disappear!"
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and said, "Then do we support them, or..."
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Forget it, there is no need to kill everyone for the Academy Awards, but they can't let them mess around on their own. You tell them that they can set up a performing arts association in Hong Kong. The performing arts association will cooperate with "Black and White Image", "Movie"
"Fortnightly" co-sponsored the Academy Awards and formed an Academy Awards jury."
Before the Academy Awards, they gave "The Last Emperor" a piece of cake for the sake of Wanwan's market. Wu Jianye backhandedly threw a grand celebration banquet, which caused the Academy Awards to lose face. This year's award ceremony was originally thought to be virtuous.
The strong rise of Baohaoting was an impact on Fengge Entertainment. As a result, Debaohaoting was acquired by Fengge Entertainment again!
So at that time, it can be said that Yu Zheng was as frustrated as Lin Jianyue and others at that time.
Seeing that Fengge Entertainment has shown a belated trend of dominating the world in Hong Kong, Yu Zheng also knows that if he does not bow his head, it is estimated that there will be no way to hold the Academy Awards next year!
"Can Film Fortnight agree?" Jiang Zhiqiang asked with some uncertainty.
"Tell them that if they don't agree, we will contact "Black and White" to hold another film awards ceremony in Hong Kong!" Wu Jianye said domineeringly.
Jiang Zhi forced a smile and said, "I understand!"
At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang's secretary came in and said, "Director Wu, Director Tsui Hark and Miss Shi Nansheng are here, and they want to see you!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Please come in!"
Soon Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng walked in. Seeing this, Jiang Zhiqiang got up and returned to his office.
"Director Wu, I just had a chat with you at the premiere." Tsui Hark smiled happily after seeing Wu Jianye.
Before, he thought that Wu Jianye didn't understand Xiangjiang's movies, and because of his inner pride, he didn't think Wu Jianye could make such an outstanding movie. But when he actually saw Wu Jianye's "New"
"Longmen Inn", my heart was completely shocked!
The most important thing is that the box office of the movie "New Dragon Inn" has fully demonstrated to industry insiders in Hong Kong what it means to be a genius. A mainland director can actually make such a movie that meets the aesthetics of Hong Kong audiences, and
The filming was still a martial arts movie that had been sentenced to death in Hong Kong, which shocked them even more.
If the previous "The Last Emperor" made people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry aware of Wu Jianye's other identity as director!
So now "New Longmen Inn" has completely convinced them of Wu Jianye.
To be able to make a martial arts movie so successfully and make the audience enjoy watching it can no longer simply be described as excellent.
Only then did they remember that Wu Jianye was a director who had won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival and the Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival!
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the people in Xiangjiang who are too forgetful. The main reason is that consortiums like Fengge Entertainment have too much influence in Xiangjiang. Even if they know that Wu Jianye is the director, when they mention Wu Jianye What comes to mind more is the influence of a large consortium with a market capitalization of tens of billions.
Even though he had previously released a movie called "The Last Emperor" in Xiangjiang, to put it bluntly, the movie "The Last Emperor" was still a bit out of tune with the environment in Xiangjiang, but now this movie "New Dragon Gate Inn" is different.
On the first day this movie was released in Hong Kong, it hit the g-spot of the Hong Kong audience. Now when they mention Wu Jianye again, they will finally seriously add the word director in front of it.
And people like Tsui Hark and Zou Wenhuai no longer think that Wu Jianye is just rich and willful, and making movies is purely for his own entertainment.
Now that Tsui Hark came here in person, he actually wanted to exchange experiences with Wu Jianye on filming martial arts films. After all, Tsui Hark himself has always wanted to make martial arts films.
"The core content of a martial arts movie must be a suitable story, followed by its fighting scenes. However, the fighting scenes cannot always be the same, there should also be innovation, and this innovation must serve the audience."
Wu Jianye talked about his understanding of martial arts movies, and Tsui Hark would also agree with him from time to time. Sometimes he even felt that what Wu Jianye said was wrong and refuted it. Shi Nansheng who was watching on the side was also shocked. , was afraid that Tsui Hark's uprightness would make Wu Jianye dissatisfied, but when he saw Wu Jianye, he was blushing and arguing with Tsui Hark about the use of a certain shot.
The worry in her heart suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by another understanding of Wu Jianye. Because of this serious attitude, she often saw it in Tsui Hark, which was his love and responsibility for movies.
It is precisely with this understanding that Shi Nansheng is not worried at all at this time. The purpose of her coming to Fengge Entertainment this time.
She is different from Tsui Hark. Tsui Hark came here purely because he found a lot of common language in "New Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Wu Jianye. He wanted to exchange these experiences with Wu Jianye.
Shi Nansheng, on the other hand, thought he could find investment from Wu Jianye. After all, Tsui Hark was also planning to shoot a martial arts movie!
In fact, this is Shi Nansheng's inherent impression of martial arts movies that has not yet fundamentally changed. According to the urine of the Hong Kong film industry, with the success of "New Dragon Inn", martial arts movies will definitely have a second spring, and Lei Jue Kun will no longer refuse Tsui Hark's request as he did in the past.
The two parties chatted for a long time, and then seeing that it was getting late, Shi Nansheng smiled beside him and said, "Okay, you two have been chatting for more than two hours. Director Wu, we are hosting tonight, can we all sit down together?"
When Shi Nansheng was going to have dinner together in the evening, he discussed with Wu Jianye about investing in Tsui Hark's new movie.
But Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I guess I can't do it today. I promised to go home for dinner!"
In the past few days since Wu Jianye came to Xiangjiang, he was either busy with the release of "New Dragon Inn" or dealing with the internal affairs of Debao Palace. He never went home properly, thinking about Gong Yin and Gong Yin at home. Wu Qichen and Wu Jianye promised them at noon today that they would go home for dinner in the evening.
Shi Nansheng showed a hint of disappointment, and then said, "Director Wu, there is actually one more thing I want to talk to you about!" Since we can't have dinner together, it's best to bring it up now while the iron is hot.
Wu Jianye looked at the time and said with a smile, "If you two have nothing to do tonight, why not come home with me? Let's talk about it after we get back!"
Tsui Hark originally wanted to refuse, but Shi Nansheng immediately smiled and said, "If it doesn't delay Director Wu's live-in meal, then we will take the liberty of disturbing him!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's nothing!"
Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Then I won't bother Director Wu!"
Then Shi Nansheng dragged Tsui Hark and followed Wu Jianye back to Repulse Bay.
On the way, Shi Nansheng gave Tsui Hark a look that said yes.
How many people in Xiangjiang want to have a relationship with Wu Jianye now, but they have no way. Now Wu Jianye personally invites them to his home. How can they miss this kind of thing?
However, when the car reached Repulse Bay and was about to arrive at Wu Jianye's villa, the driver stopped.
"Boss, in front of you is Zheng Weng's car. It seems to have stopped specially to wait for you!"
"Drive over!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Finally, Wu Jianye's car and Zheng Yutong's car parked side by side, and Wu Jianye and Zheng Yutong saw each other across the car.
"Wu Sheng, I saw it was your car just now. How about we play cards tonight?" Zheng Yutong invited. Tonight is the fixed entertainment time of their big party. Zheng Yutong happened to see Wu Jianye's car, so he Stopped and invited Wu to see the night.
Wu Jianye glanced at Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng and said with a smile, "I'm afraid not today, there are guests at home!"
Zheng Yutong nodded and did not force it. Participation in this kind of activity was not mandatory, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go play two shots together when we have time in the next two days!"
"I can't ask for it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Then the two said goodbye through the window.
Shi Nansheng and Tsui Hark looked at each other. Although they knew that Wu Jianye had a high voice in the Hong Kong business community, they had always heard about it. Now that they saw Zheng Yutong personally inviting Wu Jianye to participate in the card game of the conference, Wu Jianye Jianye refused because of the two of them.
This kind of shock that seeing was believed made them still very shocked, and they even felt a little bit of secret joy and pride in their hearts.
So what if we are billionaires? Director Wu doesn’t want to have dinner with us?
When the car drove into the Repulse Bay Villa, the two of them were also shocked by the luxurious decoration in the villa. The top villas in Xiangjiang were indeed not comparable to ordinary villas.
When they walked into the living room, the two also discovered an old friend.
"Honggu, what's wrong with you?" Shi Nansheng showed a surprised expression after seeing Zhong Chuhong. His first thought was about the relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Wu Jianye.
However, Zhong Chuhong quickly dispelled his doubts, "Gong Yin and I are good friends, and I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came over to see her!"
Only then did Shi Nansheng remember that the good relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Gong Yin was a secret that Xiangjiang had long disclosed.
Shi Nansheng and Gong Ying also knew each other, but they didn't have much communication before. Now that Zhong Chuhong was the intermediary, the three women soon chatted lively together. Wu Jianye took Wu Qichen from Gong Ying's arms. , hugging him, and followed Tsui Hark to the study room.
