Hong Kong Stubborn

On October 10, Luo Junyan was 25 years old.

Because sister army no longer celebrates his birthday, he no longer celebrates his birthday. Luo Junyan just gave Anita Mui a birthday gift in advance, and everything else went as usual and continued to advance the work plan step by step.

This day is Monday, and the second issue of "New Entertainment" and "Spotlight" will be released.

Recently, lawsuits against privacy violations are being fought, and incidents of paparazzi reporters being injured frequently occur. The popularity of the two magazines has quickly climbed to the top, and newsstands throughout Xiangjiang have been rushing to buy.

As for the social response? Brother Cheng summed up in one sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and gangs will be separated from sites with interests.

"New Entertainment" uses ordinary magazine paper, and the price is only 10% higher than other entertainment magazines. This 10% is given to various newsstands. Unlike other magazines' attitude of binding upstream distribution, Cheng Ge pays more attention to the distribution terminal retail point.

"Spotlight" uses imported coated paper, beautifully printed, and the price is twice as high as that of ordinary magazines. However, the supply is still in short supply, because many high-end people will also buy the "Spotlight" to see, keep its essence and discard its dross, and improve their fashion taste.

Brother Cheng calculated that as long as the circulation of the second issue is maintained, Snowman Times Media can make a profit of about 110,000 Hong Kong dollars for one issue of the magazine. When the two magazines have established a monopoly position in this field, the big brand clients and celebrity brokerage companies who come to advertise will be the real God of Wealth.

That night, Luo Junyan brought a famous brand manager Huo Wenxi to meet with Ye Yuqing.

Ye Yuqing and Luo Junyan had collaborated in "The Glory of the Family", but he really never thought about looking for Ye Yuqing to make a romantic film, because there is no need to take this road of artistic breakthrough.

After meeting in a high-end cafe, Luo Junyan tasted coffee and patiently waited for Ye Yuqing to speak.

Ye Yuqing glanced at Huo Wenxi sitting next to him before saying, "Brother Jun, can you tell the paparazzi to stop following me? If my dating thing is exposed by "New Entertainment", it will affect my boyfriend. Very big, you know, he is also an entertainer, and his public image is very important."

Luo Junyan shook his head and said, "Ayu, we have known each other for a long time. Let me tell you the truth, how can you become popular without exposure to being a star? You have been out for a long time. Ask yourself if your acting skills and hard work are not worse than others, right? How many movies have you filmed? How many people in Xiangjiang know who Ye Yuqing is?"

Ye Yuqing bowed her head and said nothing. Her star journey was surprisingly bad. Miss Ya Sister Bodybuilder had a high starting point, but her development in the entertainment industry has not been smooth.

Luo Junyan calmed down a bit and said, "You also know that I'm asking a female artist to make a romantic movie. I haven't been to you because your brother opened a Photographic record company. He is the big boss in the circle. I think you will not lack the resources in the circle, but it seems that you can't borrow any light, and you have to work **** your own."

He took a sip of coffee, asked Ye Yuqing to think about it for a moment, and then said: "Speaking of your boyfriend, I am not familiar with him. I know the virtues of male entertainers in the entertainment circle. , It’s just pitiful."

Luo Junyan speaks very bluntly, he is mixed in circles, it is easy to understand the character of an artist. It's really unfamiliar, but it doesn't mean that you don't know the details of life.

Ye Yuqing's face turned red, and she said in a pun, "My luck is not good."

Luo Junyan sneered, looked at Huo Wenxi, and said, "Sister Xi, you can help Ayu transfer." This sister Xi is an exclusive name given to her by Luo Junyan, and anyone in the company will call her. Sister Xi.

Luo Junyan stood up, nodded politely, and said: "Luck will always be on the side of the winner." Then he turned and left, leaving Huo Wenxi to communicate with Ye Yuqing.

When he arrived at the company the next day, Huo Wenxi reported to Luo Junyan.

Ye Yuqing agreed to take over the filming of Snowman Century Entertainment's Fengyue film, and agreed with Luo Junyan and Cheng Ge's pre-designed candid speculation plan. At the right time, the photo of Ye Yuqing's dew point will be posted on the front page of "New Entertainment". The photo looks completely like a sneak shot of a paparazzi hitting big luck.

At this time, Fengyuepian's screenwriter studio had submitted 6 scripts. Luo Junyan selected the three scripts "Qing Benjia", "Weekend Bedtime" and "Happy To Death" for Ye Yuqing to play the leading role.

Because these three scripts have connotations, the heroines are all set of temperament women, and they need good acting skills. Like other people who rely solely on meatballs and have no plot, it is not suitable for Ye Yuqing to star, but she still has to show her subtle and reserved features.

And Luo Junyan wouldn't take that kind of romantic film, it was an old road that was destined to decline. His idea is to finally attract female audiences to watch, which is very difficult, but only in this way can it create high box office.

The formation of the crew was all handed over to Bian Sicong, and the selection of actors and signing of the other roles in the film was handed over to Huo Wenxi. Luo Junyan needs to constantly increase her responsibilities to test Huo Wenxi's abilities, and she needs to get acquainted with the artists in the circle as soon as possible, otherwise she will not be able to operate the "Yu Yuan" in the future.

The "Young and Dangerous" series was created by Brother Cheng with the editors below. There are three parts, "People in the Rivers and Lakes", "The Raptors Cross the River" and "One Hand Covers the Sky". Brother Cheng remembers the name, and the plot has long been forgotten, but it is not difficult to fill in the sections of the fight, killing, and even shouting.

This is also thanks to the owner of the auction company who invited Ekin Cheng as a special guest at the auction. It was at that time that Brother Cheng temporarily watched "Young and Dangerous". Familiar with the information of all important people in the auction, you can gain the trust and favor of the other party through greetings. This is the iron law of becoming a gold auctioneer in the auction industry.

This time, the Fengyue film and the series were filmed at the same time, and three consecutive films were shot on both sides. For Luo Junyan, this workload was not a joke.

He has prepared a tent and toiletries in the car. After starting up, I don't plan to stay home anymore. I have food and accommodation at the scene, and I'm filming all day and night.

Huo Wenxi's efficiency in signing actors is very high, but the signings are all second- and third-tier starlets.

First, Luo Junyan asked not to find popular stars to act. Secondly, "New Entertainment" and "Spotlight" are like two sharp knives against the throats of second-line artists. If you don't accept the film appointment, the next issue is likely to be exposed to privacy.

The third point is also very important. Huo Wenxi has that kind of innate aura, is good at dealing with people, and figuring out the other's mental state is her innate ability.

The videographer invited to "Young and Dangerous" is Liu Weiqiang, a newcomer introduced by a friend. Luo Junyan chatted with him, and felt that Liu Weiqiang was still quite a thoughtful person, so he left him.

Luo Junyan's current standard is that it's cheap enough. Whoever talks to him about art will immediately get out. He doesn't have time to sit and talk with tea.

On October 25th, "The Beauty of Qingben" was launched first. Ye Yuqing's stealth photo of the dew point of changing clothes at home was washed long ago, and she waited for the film to burst out when the film was released, and then went to lawsuit to make the headlines.

On October 27th, "Old and Dangerous People in the Rivers and Lakes" started worshipping God.

The crews on both sides are getting together to shoot. Luo Junyan is not only the director, but also the actor Chen Haonan in "Young and Dangerous". The director can temporarily get rid of his hand. The cut-out technology of this era cannot allow the male protagonist to watch his performance.

It was quite lively now, and there were a lot of people in the circle who came to watch. The actors who have seen the show, I have never seen the director of the show. Anyway, Luo Junyan did just that, and he was willing to come and have fun, bringing his own bench and tea.

Luo Junyan directed Fengyue film for the first time. After a few scenes, he felt that this kind of film was actually not easy to shoot.

If the lens is too straightforward, there is no room for imagination, and if the lens is too flicker, it lacks allure. Through groping and trying, he has mastered a set of techniques for using the lens himself, in short, it is two words, clean.

Cleanliness is neither simple nor complex, but a kind of refinement. Just like Tang poetry and Song Ci, express the core meaning in the most refined way. When refined to the extreme, it will naturally produce a realm.

Luo Junyan suddenly realized a truth, don't let the camera chase the actor, just like don't let the words stay on the scene, what the director imagines, then express it in the cleanest and neatest way.

The actor is the same as the scene, but a carrier of emotion. The director only needs to let the actors understand what kind of scenery he is. Don't let the actors define the scenery by themselves.

Luo Junyan was a little bit frustrated when shooting Fengyue Films.

He doesn't understand a lot of rules, and he needs Ye Yuqing to tell him even to clear the scene and prepare tapes for the actors. Luo Junyan had to think that Ye Yuqing had actually had the thought of making romantic films a long time ago. At least he went to the set to watch it. For her boyfriend to ask him for coffee, this contact method can be described as moisturizing things silently.

When filming "Young and Dangerous", I was replaced by cameraman Liu Weiqiang, and I was so frustrated.

As soon as Luo Junyan finished filming the filming, he hurried to leave, letting Liu Weiqiang assume the responsibility of the director for him, and don't want him to pay for the wasted film. Liu Weiqiang can't be trapped, anyway, he is behind the machine, holding a prop knife, shouting hoarsely, running, slashing, cursing, and so on. He really doesn't know how to tell the actors.

Bian Sicong must also bring a tent, and his pressure is also very high. He needs to sign for everything in the crew to ensure that the production cost of the film will not be overrun. After all, the budget of the film is kept low.

The total budget of the three romantic films this time is only 2.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total budget of the three "Young and Dangerous" is only 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars.

The actors who signed the contract are all third-line artists, and the salary is surprisingly low. Ye Yuqing only got 250,000 Hong Kong dollars in total. Such as Anita Mui, Fa Ge, Rong Ge, Xing Ge, who are close to Luo Junyan, come to play an insignificant role, and they are all sponsored for free.

There is another important factor if you want the film not to overspend, that is to shoot fast. If you shoot for one more day, you will have to pay an extra for all expenses. At least the lunch box for the work meal must be ordered.

Luo Junyan found his own rhythm after a lot of hustle and bustle in the early stage. He no longer follows the actor's rhythm, and speaks with the camera throughout the process. After the shooting is smooth, the overall shooting progress is getting faster and faster.

According to the statistics after the fact, it is proved that the director can be forced out, and the shooting can be faster.

"Beautiful Lady of Qing Dynasty" was filmed for 15 days, and "Young and Dangerous in the Rivers and Lakes" filmed for 21 days.

Afterwards, "Bed Together on the Weekend" was filmed for 13 days, and "Young and Dangerous: The Raptors Crossing the River" was filmed for 19 days.

Then "Happy To Death" was filmed for 11 days, and "Young and Dangerous: A Hand Covering the Sky" was filmed for 17 days.

I’m shooting here, and I’ll hire someone to rush to do the post-production. This time the theme song and soundtrack were commissioned by Dad and Uncle Zhan. No classics are required, as long as they meet the occasion.

His father was originally against Luo Junyan's director of Fengyue Film, and it was Uncle Zhan who served as a lobbyist in the middle. There is a saying that he said very profoundly, in the world of the world, the net is not in the eyes but in the heart, why can you enter the world if you are not in the dust?

The issue of publicity is still done by my own company, contacting the theater chain and other issues of distribution are all handed over to Huo Wenxi, and the publicity matters are handed over to Brother Cheng.

Luo Junyan wanted to see how much pressure Huo Wenxi, a little girl, could bear. According to his own experience, he would never equate age and maturity.

On November 1, the Hong Kong Electric Power Inspection Office finally officially announced the film classification system.

According to the regulations, Luo Junyan's films must be regarded as Grade 3 films. Audiences under the age of 18 cannot contribute to the box office, but they will definitely be fine. As far as Luo Junyan is concerned, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, otherwise he would not even have the opportunity to mass-produce, and he would not be able to grab other people's market.

This year, Golden Princess Entertainment can be regarded as a fleeting disadvantage. Several shareholders of Xinyi City basically broke up due to uneven profit distribution. Xinbao Cinemas robbed a lot of good film sources when they split out.

The first thing Huo Wenxi talked about was the Golden Princess Theatre. Nowadays, companies in the film industry have to pay taxes normally, so Snowman Century Entertainment can only get 40% of the box office share, and there will be no more 50-50 rules.

On November 20th, "The Beauty of Qing Dynasty" was screened online at the Golden Princess Theatre.

There was no special publicity on the day of the premiere, and the attendance was tepid, but the reputation was good. The heroine is beautiful enough, the figure is hot enough, the appearance is bold enough, the camera is clear enough, the switching is natural and smooth, and clean.

As a result, on the next Monday, the front page of "New Entertainment" broke Ye Yuqing's dew-point sneak photo, and called it the new generation of Xiangjiang Empress.

As soon as the magazine went public, it immediately aroused criticism from other media. This sneak shot has touched the bottom line of social morality, and the media and the entertainment industry have supported Ye Yuqing's appeal. Ye Yuqing immediately filed a complaint with the court, and Snowman Times Media once again became the defendant's legal person and met in court with the judge who had long been acquainted with.

The lawsuit here was fierce, and the media was eloquent, but the audience rushed into the theater to get a glimpse of the grace and charm of the Queen of Hong Kong. Ye Yuqing is finally red, and even the artistic photos are full of scalpers, which has attracted countless middle-aged people to think about it.

Huo Wenxi signed "Old and Dangerous People in the Rivers and Lakes" on the Xinbao Cinemas, and Snowman Century Entertainment's box office share was only 35%. However, Xinbao Cinemas promises that if the first film sells out, the two most important schedules of New Year's Day and Spring Festival can be reserved for "Young and Dangerous: Raptor Crossing the River" and "Young and Dangerous: Hand Covering the Sky".

Huo Wenxi took the clips of the three films to talk about. It is estimated that Chen Meirong's pulse was accurately grasped and Chen Meirong was there. For a hot and exciting film, the schedule is more important than the box office split, because the audience likes to watch this kind of non-braining and exciting film when they are free.

"Young and Dangerous in the Rivers and Lakes" will be released on November 28, and the screening period will be 21 days.

The publicity of this film is much stronger. Chen Haonan's brothers stood together with a knife in hand to get posters, which were posted everywhere. The first audience to attract was the street gangsters whose blood would be on their heads at any time.
