On September 17th, in a small screening room in TVB TV City, with the big screen, Li Zicheng, played by Zhou Runfa, smoked a cigarette and showed a bright sunny smile, and the frown at the corner of his eyes was clearly reflected, [Arrest]'s explosive drum beat
It also rang.
The ending subtitles are also presented one by one on the black screen at a fast pace.
The lights in the projection room came on, and the figures were still sitting in silence. Zhao Donghuai looked around and walked towards Shao Yifu in the middle row with a smile, "Shao Sheng, how do you feel?"
Shao Yifu glanced at him calmly, "Midnight show on the 21st? Then let's arrange 12 theaters for you on the 22nd, including those leading theaters. If the response is good, we can talk about others."
After saying that, Boss Shao started to leave.
When Fang Yihua walked outside with him, in the screening room, Wang Tianlin, Wang Jing, Du Qifeng, Cheng Xiaodong and even Zhou Runfa, Wan Ziliang, Lu Liangwei, Huang Xingxiu, Zhang Guorong and other talents stood up one after another, all holding...
Excited, nervous, worrying about gains and losses, and even a little restless, he looked at Zhao Donghuai.
After another few seconds of silence, Zhou Runfa came over to disperse the smoke and said, "Director, is there a midnight show on the Mid-Autumn Festival night? I will definitely call more friends by then. I feel like there is no reason why this drama won't be popular."
This is not the first time he has watched the film.
He had just finished all the post-production work at the Clear Water Bay Studio. As the protagonist, he had already watched it once, but watching it again at the TVB City now, he still felt a little restless and excited.
Along with Ah Fa's words, Du Qifeng came up and said with a smile, "Save it, Ah Fa, you kid, don't talk recently. The movies you film are both popular and popular, so don't let your crow's mouth hurt us."
Zhou Runfa, "..."
When Ah Fa was feeling embarrassed, Wang Tianlin came over and waved, "Young people are scary. If I judge correctly, it should be popular with the audience. At least compared to Shanghai Beach, this story is more exciting, more dramatic and artistically profound." p>
"Just like what you advertised, sir, after three years and three years, I am almost undercover and become a big leader! This kind of development route is the first of its kind!"
Are there many police and gangster movies in Hong Kong? There are quite a few.
What about the undercover story?
The Five Lucky Stars, which was released on July 7, grossed 21.9 million at the box office. Isn’t it also about the police undercover Lucky Star Prisoner Team, cracking the counterfeit banknote electric board case? Who dares to say that the counterfeit banknote electric board is not an evil society?
But an undercover agent became the super leader who dominates the world of Hong Kong... It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first of his kind.
At these words, Wang Jing shook his head and said, "Dad, don't say anything either."
Director Wang Tianlin is highly respected in the television industry. He has a lot of directors and apprentices behind the scenes, and he has trained many celebrities. Qiu Guan, Fa Zai, Huang Rihua, etc., who is not famous for his dramas?
But in the film industry, I have no regrets!
Unable to resist retorting to his father, Wang Jing looked at Zhao Donghuai with a regretful look, "Ah Huai, I feel a little regretful. I should have known that I should have competed with Brother Du to get the assistant director's job."
"However, before a movie is released, no matter how sharp and ruthless a veteran in the industry is, there is no way to accurately predict the box office success of a movie, otherwise there would not be so many blockbuster movies in the world..."
"But one thing is, after this movie is released, you can at most lose some money, and the reputation will not be bad. I wish you success at the box office."
Regardless of whether Fatty King easily makes people feel sleazy, whether he kept making bad movies that cost him money, or whether he ruined his reputation, you can't deny that he is actually quite talented.
Aesthetic vision has always been online.
The drama "New World" is not just about being an undercover gangster and becoming the leader of a society. It is not weak at all when it comes to exposure, criticism, satire, etc. of human nature. Otherwise, the genuine Infernal Affairs and the pirated version of Infernal Affairs will not be the same.
To the revised new world.
I won’t win awards around the world and my hands will become weak.
In each award organization, there are simply not too many juries that only study art that deviates from the public.
After seeing the finished product, New World, Fatty King had to say it was amazing.
The next moment, Fatty Wang laughed again and said, "But my dear, if it is released on the 21st, which is the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a good time. Apart from Uncle Xiang's Burning Old Summer Palace, you are invincible." p>
"Even the movie "Uncle Xiang" received a very good reputation from the test screenings. Many people said that Hui Zai is in it and he looks like an actor."
"I hope you don't fight so hard that both sides will suffer losses."
The Seven Days of Love, which was released on September 2nd, has now reached its release date. The box office has accumulated more than 14 million, making it one of the top ten grossers of 1983 and no longer a threat.
But Li Hanxiang’s two-part series of burning the Old Summer Palace and listening to politics behind the curtain is also coming with force.
On Hong Kong Island, the Mid-Autumn Festival is usually a holiday on August 16th in the lunar calendar, which falls on September 22nd in the Gregorian calendar. A midnight show is held on the night of the 21st, and a large-scale release on the 22nd is considered a good holiday.
Up to now, New World has not announced a clear release date in its initial warm-up promotion, and it clearly stated that it will be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday.
Tam Wing-lin and Leslie Cheung each scored one or two good songs, and they also began to call on movie fans to go to the theater to support them.
After watching the finished film of New World this time, everyone's evaluation was good, and Zhao Donghuai was in a good mood. However, as Fatty King said, even experienced professionals cannot be accurate without seeing the specific box office data until it is officially released.
Judge the box office.
There are too many situations where it is well received but not popular.
After exchanging a few polite words with Wang Tianlin and his son, and leaving the screening room, Zhao Donghuai said to Zhou Runfa and others, "Ah Fa, Ah Liang, Ah Wei, I'd better trouble you to do more publicity these days."
The time is very short, but Hong Kong movies in this era are inherently fast-paced and efficient.
It is common for celebrities to do various promotional activities before the release of new films. Even Hong Qinbao, Yuan Biao and others, who will be in the spotlight a few years later, will perform somersaults on ATV programs before Oriental Condor is released...
Ah Fa laughed and nodded, "As long as Uncle Six doesn't chase me away, I can live in the program group. After being a box office poison for the past few years, I really want to prove myself. Not to mention, Xing Zai is so busy.
I want to promote it on the 430 shuttle."
"Is that appropriate? You're promoting this in a children's program. It's so nonsensical."
Zhao Donghuai couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Yes, Xing Zai also showed his face several times and had close-up scenes.
He spent more than 4 million before and after filming New World, and the rest was spent on advertising. There is nothing wrong with that.
In the past few days, he bought a second-hand house with three bedrooms and two living rooms of more than 100 square meters in Broadcasting Channel. The original owner bought it and renovated it before officially moving in. He wanted to immigrate because of the direction of the negotiation, so Director Zhao took advantage of it.
It’s 20% cheaper than the ever-falling new house market price, just over 900,000 yuan.
Two second-hand cars that were 80% new were also purchased from Zhao's International Trading. I still have a lot of money left in my hand. You said you owed Shao Daheng the three million... The original loan was for one year, no.
Urgent to return.
Just wait for New World to be released and Shaw Sang will deduct it from his box office share.
He also has to leave money to prepare for the next purchase and sale of waste paper.
Unknowingly, he traveled through four months and started to settle down and start a family in this era.
"Thank you for your kind words. I hope everything goes well. In the new world, I also hope that my career will usher in a new beginning just like the title of the movie."
During this period, whether it was Yisheng Red Scorpion who burned his film in the life simulator, Fuxing Fat Snake, or Heji Guantang talker Snake Zaiming, everyone was relatively honest.
Zhao Donghuai only heard... I heard someone said that Hutchison Shezai Ming has been thinking about selling off the family property and replacing it, such as secretly selling the house somewhere and replacing it with buying property elsewhere. This is a normal and reasonable act.
