Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

On April 23, at a restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, when Zheng Yijian arrived late and apologized to others in F4 as usual, Li Mingdu complained speechlessly, "Ajian, could it be that you really switched to driving a Toyota Mazda?"

"There are always traffic jams, which makes us not want to play with you anymore."

Zheng Yijian laughed and walked to the dining table to take a sip of tea. "This time it's really not about traffic jams or playing video games. It's about the crew finishing their work."

"A big project like The Twilight Saga 2 must be shot well and with care."

After Wang Jing finished filming "Heroes of China" and returned to Hong Kong in early April, the big movie was handed over to the special effects base to slowly prepare. In the blink of an eye, Wang Jing started filming "The Twilight Saga 2" again, with A Jian as the starring role. It was quite hard to come and go for 20 days.

After saying that, Zheng Yijian raised his glass to celebrate the dawn, "Brother Ming, you are really popular, fuck, in just three days from the 20th to the 21st and the 22nd, the Mainland, Hong Kong, Haowan, and South Korea, (The Love of the Sword) came out 1.15 The box office is HK$100 million, which is incredible!”

"Even if such a big movie may not be very popular in Europe and the United States, when it is released in island countries, Stars, Malaysia, Thailand, and only in East and Southeast Asia, it will be far ahead of the rest of us."

At this point, Aaron Kwok also raised his glass and said with an envious look on his face, "Brother Ming, you and A Jian have both come out and are no longer limited to F4 or ordinary idol dramas. Only Brother Jie and I are still resting on our laurels."

F4, which debuted together, has developed to the present. It is Cheng Yi Jian and Li Ming who are the first to stand out in major movie projects. Twilight and Gu Jian have brought the popularity of these two handsome men to a new level again.

Li Ming smiled, grinning from ear to ear. He wanted to be humble, but he also knew that being too modest was pretending, so he could only comfort him and said, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon, Cheng and Jie. We also interviewed for Jian Qingshen together, and there were many competitors, so I was just lucky..."

After saying this, Zheng Yijian also changed his words to wish the two beautiful boy team members. Cheng was a little better, but Guan Lijie complained, "Forget it, Cheng, you are much better. When you went to Europe and the United States to hold concerts to promote Shaolin Football, Whether you're singing Go Go Go or Brother Rong Hua's other famous English songs, when have you not been the little prince of the stage?"

"It's just the singing and dancing business. You'll get rid of me and A Jian a lot."

"Right now, I don't know how to develop it. Originally, I planned to commit suicide to do something to help boost the sales of luxury goods in (Oriental) or (Five Thousand Years), but after thinking about it, I still feel it's not appropriate."

"Do you think we should spend our own money, open a studio, make a good script and invite a big director to shoot it?"

Last year (Shaolin Soccer) and (Twilight Zone) were released. Zhang Guorong and Andy Lau were one of the main promotion forces. F4 did not have many famous works of their own, but they sang covers and helped to promote them together, and they also put in a lot of effort. .

In terms of singing and dancing skills at the concert, Aaron Kwok dwarfs him and Zheng Yi Jian.

Ajie wanted to follow Yuan Biao's example and reveal gossip about his relationship or marriage. Maybe he would show his favor to the big boss and have a new project, but after thinking about it, it was inappropriate.

When Yuan Biao blew himself up to promote (Five Thousand Years) and (The East), no one outside knew. Will Director Zhao immediately arrange a new project for Yuan Biao? Or will it be a big movie project? Are you imitating it now? That's why I fell into the bad category. It seemed that I was deliberately waiting to ask Director Zhao for the script.

As for romance? Ajie really did. In the original trajectory, he met a flight attendant. After dating for a few years, they got married in 1990. They remained together until the 2020s and gave birth to two daughters. One of them even ran for Miss Hong Kong.

This is already 1988, and Ajie still meets the stewardess from the original trajectory.

Li Ming, Aaron Kwok and Zheng Yijian also knew about this matter. The three of them did not care about the self-explosion of their relationship. Cheng's eyes lit up, "Yes, we are not short of money now. We can collect tens of millions to open a studio." , subsidiary company, it’s not difficult to hire a big director to make a good film, Brother Jie, what do you think?”

Guan Lijie explained with a smile, “I think that since the (Five Thousand Years) series includes Qin Shihuang men’s wallets, other styles will be launched in the future.”

"We can make a big movie about a historical celebrity, such as Xin Qiji??"

"After studying some history, I really feel that Xin Qiji is a god-like figure, like (The Legend of the Sword). If he copied history and condensed his main life experiences into one movie, I feel that the box office will not be bad. "

"As long as the movie is not too popular, it can also boost the sales of Five Thousand Years Men's Wallet, and the schedule and other arrangements can be easily handled."

"Wen Neng has been famous for his poems for thousands of years, and his military skills have brought peace to the world. During the Southern Song Dynasty, this great master proposed large-scale cross-sea landing operations, like the Eight-Nation Allied Forces' campaign to defeat the Qing Dynasty, allowing the Southern Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Kingdom and regain their homeland. .”

"Even if he ends up being tortured by the court and dies in depression, he is still a great person!"

Li Ming, Zheng Yijian, and Aaron Kwok all looked at each other in confusion.

Guan Lijie became even more excited, "If we were to promote men's wallets, as long as a copy like (Five Thousand Years: Think of those days, when you were a powerful warrior, you could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger) would be printed, which man wouldn't get excited and excited?"

"Otherwise (Five Thousand Years: Who can ask: Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?), this is also a very exciting and iconic promotional copy."

"If we spend money to hire some of the mainland's great historical figures to write a script about Xin Qiji, and I act in it, I should be able to do a pretty good job."

Kwan Li Kit is not only the oldest in F4, he is also the best in acting. It was nothing more than the last interview (The Legend of Swordsman). Several directors felt that his character creation was not as good as Li Ming's. In addition, his age was too high compared to the 18-year-old. It was so big that it was brushed off.

He filmed Meteor Garden in 1984 and the male lead in "Winter Sonata" in 1985. He also saved a lot of money over the years, with tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue from advertising. In 1986, he started the Japanese yen foreign exchange battlefield, one or two Four or five times the amount would be tens of millions in income.

Later, he would appear in other TV series or movie roles one after another, and he would also receive salary and red envelopes. In terms of saving money, Ajie would be able to finance a big movie by himself.

Li Ming and others still looked at each other in silence for a while. Li Ming smiled and said, "It sounds like there is something going on. After all, the result of (The Love of the Sword) lies here."

Aaron Kwok was delighted, "In this case, I have to research and find a suitable project to star in. I can't watch you all become famous solo..."

There is a precedent for the novel (The Legend of Liu Xiu) to cooperate with the Han Tianxia series of shoes to become popular, and there is an example (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms) to boost the Han Tianxia brand, and another one (The Legend of the Sword)? ?

This really gives people the impression that there are so many legendary stories in China over the past five thousand years. As long as they copy history, do it more realistically and don’t make random changes, and don’t make random magic changes, all kinds of big film and television projects will become a mess.

Ah Cheng has little education and is not very knowledgeable. Especially the middle school textbooks in Hong Kong do not explain Chinese history in such a profound and clear way. At this moment, he is actually a little... not familiar with what kind of boss Xin Qiji is.

After hearing what Guan Lijie said so passionately, he knew that Ajie would not lie to him and also wanted to start his own big project.

………………

On the evening of the 23rd, when he returned to the 32nd floor of Tsim Sha Tsui Financial Building after a day of shooting, Zhao Donghuai sat behind his desk, briefly sorted out other work, and unexpectedly said, "Jiang Wen, Liu Xiaoqing, and Ji Chunhua want to prepare for the filming of (Chen Tang Zhizhi) Chanyu)?"

"F4's Ajie wants to film (Xin Qiji)?"

"Good guy, this is an ancient trend."

At this stage, Jiang Wen's large crew has been set up. Although the filming has not started yet, a group of screenwriters are already improving the script. Ji Chunhua proposed this project in the hope that after the filming is completed, it will be convenient for Wanjia Cinema to arrange the release schedule. .

As for Guan Lijie's desire to film Xin Qiji, he had just discussed it with several other people today and reported it directly here. Ajie still doesn't know who to look for as a director or which screenwriter to look for. That is, if he has money... how old can he be? Ten million in cash flow can be squandered.

I hope Director Zhao will send someone to help him set up a team.

If he has money, he can set up a subsidiary or studio affiliated with Zhao Films like Xu Ke, Wang Jing, and Du Qifeng.

After being slightly surprised, Director Zhao said to Zhang Min, "Have someone call Ajie and ask him to ask Huang Jianxin, Cheng Xiaodong and others for advice. If the schedule is suitable, then pay for the director. Once you have a director, it will be much more convenient to prepare the crew."

Xin Qiji was indeed one of the most extraordinary men in China for thousands of years. In terms of literature, he was the "Dragon of Ci". In terms of martial arts, he was also a rare military commander.

He died in a depressed state after being tormented by a bunch of pig teammates and the leader and faction who were in a corner. He was still shouting "Kill the thief! Kill the thief!" before he died, making him a tragic figure like Yue Wumu.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first? ?

Looking back on Mr. Jiaxuan's life, was it more than just a difficult situation?

Guan Lijie wants to make such a historical blockbuster, which is really worth looking forward to. Anyway, the money is his, and he can find someone to hire a crew. Even if his acting skills are not enough now, he can still make it like Xu Ke did (Once Upon a Time: Top Gun), no big deal It takes him more than a year to produce a big movie.

Zhang Min nodded and went to work. When she came back, he said excitedly, "Boss, (The Legend of the Sword) was released in North America, and the box office for the first night time slot was more than one million US dollars. It seems that it can sell well?"

"This is a purely historical and costume movie, all performed by us Chinese. Even if the total box office can exceed 20 million US dollars, it is already very successful!"

"The box office of the island country on the first day was 80 million yen, which did not exceed 100 million. There is still hope that it can continue to reach 1 to 2 billion yen."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Yes, it can be sold for more than 20 million U.S. dollars in North America, and another 20 million U.S. dollars in Europe, and everything will be worth it."

Again, in the future, a big comedy movie like "The King of Kung Fu" can earn more than 50 million US dollars at the box office in North America... Do you think it was achieved through the appeal of Cheng Long and Jet Li?

The Legend of Swordsman doesn't have the star cast of (The King of Kung Fu)?

Yes, in terms of star appeal, Li Ming, Hong Xin and others are far inferior to Cheng Long and Jet Li in their peak years, but from the perspective of the quality of the film, Love is Much Better.

This movie does not have flashy action or death-defying comedy, but the big scenes are an epic feudal costume war drama. When it was announced, it was in line with the selling points of the Western Romans and the Eastern Han Dynasties, to promote that these were two different civilizations at the same time. , the growth history of the emperor that complements each other.

Therefore, this blockbuster is still expected to hit the box office of US$50 million in Europe and the United States! Breaking 50 million US dollars in Europe and the United States is also the record of Cheng Long Police Story 1.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and after Zhao Donghuai pressed a button connected to the serious secretariat, a serious secretary came in with a smile, "Boss, Mr. William from Goldman Sachs, and Mr. Chris are here."

Director Zhao's eyes lit up, "Amin, go pour the champagne."

After Zhang Min left to do his business, William quickly walked in, shook hands with Director Zhao politely, exchanged a few words, and explained, "Zhao, this is Chris, a very influential person in the Global Science Fiction Association. Can your film be nominated next year?" , and winning the Hugo Award, it all depends on whether Chris is willing to be friends with us.”

Zhao Donghuai took a glass of champagne from Zhang Min who had just walked over and handed it to him, "Chris, good evening. I know that the Hugo Awards has a Best Drama Presentation Award to recognize films, TV or other forms of science fiction. , fantasy works achievements.”

"It just so happens that my own new work is a science fiction movie that feels good. It tells the story of a group of people trapped in an eight-minute time loop, constantly searching for the truth, and how life is constantly looking for a way out."

"The movie hasn't been finished yet. I asked William to invite you here because I want you to take a look at the entire script to see if it has any hope of competing for next year's Hugo Award."

The Nobel-Hugo Award in the global science fiction field is really not just for novels. Since 1958, there has been an award for the best drama presentation in the film and television situation.

In 2003, this award will be divided into the Best Long Drama Presentation and the Best Short Drama Presentation.

Long stories are longer than 90 minutes, and short stories are less than 90 minutes.

Of course, there are still relatively few movies that can win awards, such as (Moon) (Inception) (Doctor Who: Pandora/The Big Bang) (Game of Thrones) (The Martian)... Oh, and (Revenge) Alliance) movie.

It is also a very miraculous thing that the Women's Federation film won the Hugo Award. It is enough to show that the gold content of the Hugo Award also requires operation. As long as the operation is good, the threshold for winning the award can be overcome.

In fact, in terms of novels, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire also won a Hugo Award for novels, but wasn't it that Kwan Jiahui and Monica Bellucci just published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone? The first one just came out, and I haven’t gotten to Goblet of Fire yet.

Under his warm greeting, Chris, who was about 50 years old, politely took the champagne and took a sip of thanks. His eyes rolled on Zhao Donghuai and William a few times, and he asked tentatively, "Can I read the script first?"

It was inexplicable and nonsensical. How could he, a big boss in the awards industry from the Global Science Fiction Association, be invited to Hong Kong Island in a daze? Working on next year's Hugo Awards operation awards? ?

He didn't pay much attention to Zhao Donghuai. The two parties had never been in the field before... Even though the Hugo Awards established the Best Drama Presentation Award in 1958, until the new millennium, there were basically no movies or TV series that won the award. Nominate it.

So until now, the big bosses in the Hugo Award-presenting industry have actually ignored the film and television industry.

Director Zhao laughed, "Of course."

Zhang Min took a brand new script script and handed it to Chris, who also walked to the reception area and sat down to watch it.

He doesn’t know much about Zhao Donghuai, but he knows what Goldman Sachs is! !

Well, what it represents in North America is the will of Wall Street, and it represents the irreversible relationship with Amei’s official finance department.

Chris flashed to read, and William laughed and said, "Zhao, how come you are interested in this kind of award? But it's true that compared to the Oscars and the Cannes International Film Festival, the Hugo Awards are not bad at all. It's just that everyone seemed to Not in the same field.”

"It wasn't you who told me that I didn't even know that the Hugo Awards had trophies for film and television projects."

"Then I wish you in advance to win the grand prize and add another global honor to Hong Kong Island Pictures."

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "I hope, I hope we can cooperate happily. As long as he agrees to help me, I will give him a share of Big Bear's business. I can let him make as much profit as he has and settle all the troubles in the middle. "

When Old Sam and Old Jack on the North American Oscar Chairman's Jury were willing to help him run the Oscars, they were making money along the Japanese Yen foreign exchange chariot. At this stage, it is naturally a barter for the big bear.

A can of more than 300 grams of meat can be exchanged for an AK and bullets, and some daily necessities can be exchanged for a young Yangma to give you a monthly subscription to warm your boat. Zhao Donghuai helped people open up their joints and will not be betrayed by the mafia, police or even higher-level strongmen. Blackmail you.

That would be tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profit from just one trip.

It is impossible for him to say that he helps Chris make money every time, but on average, he will share a net profit of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars in two months. From April now to July when the awards will be held next year, this is also eight or nine thousand Hong Kong dollars. Net profit of more than 10 million US dollars.

What's more important is that these are all legal, clean and can be spent casually.

William's eyes lit up and he drank champagne and said, "Zhao, I know that the Big Bear is in dire need of supplies, and bartering is a way to make a fortune, but what about the foreign exchange market? The ruble has a tendency to collapse. If we can If you make a fortune in this area, you won’t earn less than if the Japanese yen appreciates, right??”

Big Bear's rubles are over-issued and continue to be over-issued. As a result, no one can exchange money with you at the official exchange rate in serious banks. You need to go to the black market. The black market is... another way to play.

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

ruble? ? This thing is really unplayable. In 1988, the official exchange rate was still 6 gross rubles equal to one U.S. dollar. In 1991, 1 U.S. dollar was equal to 170 rubles. What a terrifying exchange rate change? By 1995, 1 US dollar was equal to 4,500 rubles.

Really, the appreciation of the Japanese yen compared with this is just childish and not worth mentioning.

but……

After being speechless for a while, he smiled and said, "The ruble risk is too high and it's not worth participating in. Let's forget it."

Let’s just say that before the 1990s, Brother Asan had successively borrowed tens of billions of rubles from Big Bear. According to the previous exchange rate, that was equivalent to nearly 20 billion U.S. dollars. But after the disintegration of Big Bear, the ruble plummeted and even the mother did not recognize it. .

Mao Xiong asked Ah San to pay back the money, and Ah San paid back 11 billion rubles at the current exchange rate. Compared with the benchmark exchange rate, it was not even worth 100 million US dollars.

But Er Mao is not a vegetarian, and he backhandedly criticized Ah San to teach him how to behave.

Zhao Donghuai felt that he could make a small amount of money steadily for a few years by transporting the livelihood supplies needed by various big bears. There was no need to offend a big gangster by making money in foreign exchange.

While they were joking and chatting like this, Guan Jiahui and Monica Bellucci came. When they grabbed a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and asked curious questions, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "No hurry, wait a minute, Let’s wait until Chris reads the script.”

Come all come.

It's one thing to win the Hugo Award for (Source Code/Speed ​​2), but it's another thing to see if (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) can be accepted into the Hugo novel category.

After all, this one is a movie project and the other is a novel, there is no conflict at all.

On February 25th, he handed over the script for the scenes between the two women to Kwan Jiahui. Now on April 23rd, it has been published long ago and has been on the market for 15 days.

However, it is still the same as before. In Hong Kong and South Korea, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone did not do much to promote it. They just put up a sign in the bookstore to say that the great writer Guan Jiahui has released a new work.

After 15 days, Haowan sold more than 200,000 copies in Hong Kong and more than 200,000 copies in South Korea.

Still in Europe and the United States, we mainly promote the great writer Monica Bellucci. The promotion was much more explosive. So far, 1 million copies have been sold in North America and more than 1 million copies in Europe.

This kind of publishing model still requires a large media group to spend enough money on you to promote it, so that it can achieve results. Let's wait a little longer, wait until the results in Europe and the United States are booming for a while, and then we will announce it vigorously in East and Southeast Asia.

After a while, when Chris, the big boss of the Global Science Fiction Association, finished reading the script, he came over with a look of wonder on his face, "Zhao, Mr. William, this is a... a... How should I say, very exciting A creative sci-fi movie."

"I feel that there is still hope for a Hugo Award. At least it won't be a big problem to be nominated for the Best Drama Presentation Award."

Director Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, thank you very much. I'll be waiting for your good news next year. By the way, this is the author of the Twilight series and House of Cards, a new masterpiece of magician novels. Do you think it won the best award?" A chance at a Hugo Award for novel?”

Chris, “…”

He looked at the published novel and was a little confused. He could only look at William speechlessly. Again, he was not familiar with Zhao Donghuai and didn't know much about him. He just recognized William as the Asia Pacific CEO of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank. , just came.

William smiled and patted Chris on the shoulder, "Chris, Zhao is the idol and savior of countless people. It's a great thing to be friends with him. Let's take a look and try it. How will you know if you don't try it? ?”

"Anyway, if you are willing to make this friend, you will definitely not regret it. You will only be glad that you made the right decision."

Chris was at a loss for dozens of seconds before nodding, "Okay, the novel is a bit long, can I take it back to the hotel and read it?"

Director Zhao nodded, "Okay, even if you can't win a trophy, it's good to get a nomination. The first one is just a nomination, and the next one or the one after that can win the award. It's a warm-up."

Chris was stunned by this decisive tone. He almost wanted to complain. Do you think you are the one who won the Hugo Award? ?

However, he was worried about William's status, so he nodded with a smile, and walked away with William. After walking out of Zhao's Financial Building, Chris couldn't help complaining, "Sir William, who is that guy? This is also true." That’s too crazy!”

William was happy, "Zhao is the God of Wealth. If you help him do this, I feel that you can get a net profit of no less than 10 million US dollars. It is legal and aboveboard, and you are not afraid of investigating anything. In this regard, the chairman of the Oscar Awards The group is well-known.”

"Including the big judges at the Cannes International Film Festival..."

Chris' eyes widened instantly, "Really? I don't believe it?"

Damn, are you so stupid? ? It is everyone's basic knowledge to run awards and so on. Whether it is Oscar, Nobel or Hugo, etc., everyone understands it.

But when it comes to winning prizes, which judge can withstand such a test and challenge? ?

William had a look of disgust on his face, "Who are we? What's yours? How can I tease you with such a trivial matter? I can't afford to waste that time. Last year, I worked with Zhao and cut off the Japanese Nikkei Index during the 87 global stock market crash."

"Zhao made tens of billions of dollars, and I also made billions of dollars in one go."

Chris staggered and almost fell to the street. When he regained his balance, he looked back at the more than 30-story financial building, and then at William, with a look of justice on his face, "That movie (Source Code) definitely has I’m talking about the ability to win awards!”

"This novel shouldn't be bad at all! It's normal to get a nomination."

Wang Defake? If you encounter such a series of wealth gods and opportunities to make money, whoever fails to grasp it will be sorry for the green Franklin.

………………

About the same time, on the 32nd floor of the building, Guan Jiahui looked surprised and shocked, "Brother Huai, isn't it? Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can win the Hugo Award? Isn't this too outrageous?"

"There was not enough publicity. Even some bookstores stated that it was a new work by Monica and I. Hong Kong Haowan only sold over 200,000 copies in 15 days. It was like a hit on the street. Even Ahong Publishing None of the major idol drama novels can compare with it."

"Can this win a Hugo Award??"

Even if she is just a writer who hires a gunman and copies the storyboard, the number of words she writes is negligible. The most written words she writes are signatures, just signing her own name.

But she also knows what the Hugo Award is!

Isn’t that the Nobel of science fiction? Isn’t the Nobel Prize in Literature the highest honor for writers around the world? ?

Not to mention that Guan Jiahui was very messy, and Monica was not much better. Zhao Donghuai smiled and waved his hands, "Calm down, the first film has a low chance of winning the award. Let's survive the nominations first."

In the original track, the fourth film that won the Hugo Award for Best Novel was Goblet of Fire. Now it’s just a nomination, just a warm-up.

Guan Jiahui rolled her eyes wildly, "How can I calm down? I am just a high school student who graduated from an ordinary girls' school and won the Hugo Award... Monica is more confident in this regard. She is also a top student in the Law Department of the University of Italy. !”

Which high school graduate can withstand such a test? ?

Even if those are all false names and floating clouds...this false reputation is a bit too inflated, and she can't bear it at all.

………………

April 25.

After Zhao Donghuai got up and washed himself, he was about to go to the script shooting (source code) when he saw Azhen running outside and said, "Boss, Xu Ke's Once Upon a Time in China has finished filming. He said he came over to let the boss review the film."

Director Zhao said, "Finally, the filming is finished and the finished product is produced? It's not easy. It has been 16 months since December 1986."

It took 16 months to shoot a movie, even though Li Lianjie was injured and lay down for three months, plus some vacations and other things, which caused the schedule to be delayed.

But it took such a long time to shoot a blockbuster like this, which is very impressive.

In this version of Once Upon a Time, Ajie is still starring, with Chen Hong playing the Thirteenth Aunt. But after Liang Kuan wants to be his apprentice, I still like the Thirteenth Aunt's plot.

Director Zhao said decisively, "Let's go and have a look."

When he moved to the luxurious screening room in the building, Xu Ke and others were already waiting with their films. Chen Hong also got the news from her room and ran to see the finished product.

After a high-quality movie-watching experience was over, Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but applaud, "It was well done, Lao Xu, this kind of connotative theme..."

Xu Ke's Once Upon a Time series is really a reference to Once Upon a Time in North America. It shows and reveals the confusion and struggle of the feudal literati in the late Qing Dynasty when they were faced with the power of Western ships and artillery, blasting open the gates of the late Qing Dynasty, and signing various unequal treaties. , open-mindedness and tolerance and other emotional transformations.

This Huang Feihong's position is not as simple as a hero or a master, but in the collision between the Eastern and Western ideological systems, in the various tragic scenes of being left behind and being beaten, there are a group of people who are the first to open their eyes to see the world, hoping to protect their families. Defend the country.

From the perspective of the 21st century, Huang Feihong in the film still has various shortcomings, conservatism, and limitations. But after all, if you are half a step ahead, you are a genius, and if you are one step ahead, you are a monster.

You were in the tide of that era, and being half a step ahead, thinking about opening your eyes to see the world, and protecting your home and country was already a genius and a master's performance.

After all, Xu Ke is not filming a time traveler movie this time!

Xu Ke was overjoyed, "I feel confident if I can get your approval from Zhao Sheng. I spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars on the production. It took one year and four months to shoot. I was really afraid that it would be like the Legend of Shushan back then." Hit the streets like that."

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "No, this movie, even if it is placed in Hong Kong film history, will still have its place. Prepare to announce it and release it in May."

(Once Upon a Time in Love) was only released across the country on the 20th, which is still a few days late in North America and island countries. In this case, (Once Upon a Time in China: Top Gun) is not too late to wait until May 10th to be released.

Just missed the schedule.

By the way, in this Once Upon a Time movie, apart from Thirteenth Aunt being replaced by Chen Hong, Liang Kuan has also been replaced. After all, Yuan Biao's Master Ye doesn't have such a long schedule to wait for Xu Ke to film for more than a year.

Liang Kuan is played by Zhang Guoqiang, who is also an old man in the film and television industry. In 1983, he starred in Bo Niu with Yuan Biao and Li Saifeng.

At this stage, he is also an old green leaf who has acted in more than a dozen movies and 10 or 20 TV series.

Xu Ke laughed, "Then let's release it on May 10th. I'm not waiting for any summer release. At this stage, if it's a good movie, a slight delay in the release date won't affect its performance."

The more intense the good schedule, the easier it is for blockbusters to be crushed if there are too many good blockbusters. Bruce Willis' (Die Hard 2) is the best example.

Originally a movie with a strong reputation and a good box office, it was squeezed by (Kung Fu Panda) and (Jurassic Park)... It felt like it was thrown off the street.

(ps: Happy New Year to all brothers and sisters.)
