Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 262 "Hong Kong Capital"

The smell of the New Year is coming, and there are roaring firecrackers everywhere outside, but Su Zhai is still a little deserted as in previous years.

Except for Su Cheng, Liu Qing and others, as well as Uncle Wu, Wu Zheng called them to the house he bought to celebrate the festival.

I ate the New Year's Eve dinner in a hurry and forgot about it.

One night passed in this environment.

When the next day arrived, Su Chengcai was bombarded with phone calls from Wang Zuxian, had breakfast, asked Liu Qing to accompany him, and after meeting together, went to the Golden Princess Cinema.

After all, there is nothing important to do on the first day of the new year. Watching movies is just a way to kill time.

And what they watched was the movie "Hong Kong Capital" produced by New Art City that has been rumored a lot in recent years.

This movie was written, directed and starred by Huang Baiming. When promoting it, the story was based on the two years of Hong Kong-British negotiations and the future of Hong Kong.

With McDonald's "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", Zhuyu is ahead. This type of film is still very popular at the moment.

When the main film was played, Su Chengcai roughly understood the context of the movie. It was mainly about a family of five, one father, two sons, and two daughters. Life was difficult in the interior. I heard that relatives in Xiangjiang were there.

Not bad, come and seek refuge.

But when they came to Xiangjiang, they discovered that although the life here seemed very good, the people at the bottom were still like this.

Their relatives work at the dock and live in a Datongbu house with more than a dozen people.

Just when I was at a loss what to do, my eldest daughter was noticed by a talent scout who wanted her to become a star. The "signing fee" alone was a full 2,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Forced to make a living, they obeyed.

A few months later, my daughter became somewhat famous. She began to find things to do for her eldest son and second son on the set.

I lived like this step by step. Then, at this moment, my little daughter was valued by a rich man and took a lover.

The rich man had just given birth to a child, and negotiations between Hong Kong and Britain had begun. For the purpose of company layout, the rich man immigrated directly with his lover and children.

Among this family, the eldest son has become a member of a wealthy company and naturally followed. The younger son has become a young and Dangerous boy and stayed.

As for the eldest daughter, her career is in Hong Kong, so of course she has not left.

Regret, helplessness, and a variety of emotions, the old father became seriously ill within two years. Before he died, he warned his younger son to return to the right path. He asked his eldest daughter to return to his hometown in the interior for a visit if he had the opportunity in the future.

As for the eldest son and youngest daughter, they were never mentioned.

At the end of the movie, a scene flashed. The younger daughter returned to Hong Kong alone to meet her eldest sister. Speaking of their eldest brother, he was abandoned by the wealthy company as a scapegoat due to disputes a few years ago and is currently serving his sentence in prison. Her son

, got used to life abroad, and for this reason, she even recognized the head wife there as "mother".

As for the young and Dangerous young son, he was hacked to death in an alley a few years ago.

The scene ends at the moment when the two hugged each other and cried.

Speaking of which, this movie is somewhat similar to a script "City Lights" written by Zhang Jianting. Unfortunately, due to McDonald's affairs, the script was rejected and was not filmed.

After walking out of the cinema, Wang Zuxian saw Su Cheng in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the movie?"

Shaking his head, Su Cheng said: "I feel sorry for the impermanence of time!"

In fact, this "Hong Kong Capital", in Su Cheng's eyes, was the "choice" of many people in Hong Kong later. Some were deceived.

They can't gamble with their "hard work"!

Hearing this, although Wang Zuxian did not understand, he still held his hand and said softly: "Those are all written in movies and TV shows, and scripts. And our lives are the most real. How to choose cannot be driven by external forces.

"

"You're right! Looking forward and backward is not my fault!" Su Cheng sighed, and then walked to the parking place with Wang Zuxian.

…

Just when "Hong Kong City" produced by New Art City was in theaters, "The Best Partner 2" produced by Tengyue Entertainment officially exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

At the same time, taking advantage of the Spring Festival, we began to promote "A Better Tomorrow", which had sold over 90 million US dollars at the box office in North America.

This movie, directed by Johnnie To and starring Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, Li Xiuxian, Li Zixiong, Zhu Baoyi and others, can be regarded as officially debuting in Hong Kong.

Prior to this, in addition to North America, other countries and cities in Europe had also released this movie. The total box office has now exceeded 120 million U.S. dollars. It is considered a huge profit.

It has also greatly increased the international fame of Chow Yun-fat and others!

At the same time, the series of movies "Resident Evil" released in Hollywood, directed by Ren Tai and starring Wu Jiali, officially exceeded 100 million US dollars at the box office in North America, reaching 101 million US dollars.

However, during this period, the movie "Human Skin Lantern" produced by Shaw Brothers, directed by Sun Zhong and starring Luo Lie, Tian Niu and others, sold a box office of 6.72 million US dollars in North America. The movie "Human Skin Lantern" directed by Gui Zhihong and starring Li Lili

"Evil Curse" has a box office of US$4.13 million in North America. The movie "The Lion King of North and South" directed by Xu Xia and starring Wang Yu and Yang Panpan has sold a box office of US$5.01 million in North America.

It was a good start for Shaw Brothers.

After all, the Hollywood branch of Tengyue Entertainment released six movies produced by Golden Harvest in North America, and the highest one only had a box office of US$3.14 million.

For the Yindu Agency, we only screened one movie, "Shaolin Temple". The results were pretty good.

The same is true for Dingsheng Pictures. None of the movies has exceeded one million U.S. dollars at the box office. Only "Young and Dangerous 2" performed well. It sold 8.64 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

Let Xiang Huaqiang make a fortune!

After all, the works of these film companies are considered to be fully represented by Tengyue Entertainment. If the movie does not perform well, it may not even cover the promotional expenses.

Next time, who will come forward to let Tengyue act as an agent? Why not sell directly to those agents?

However, with Jiahe and Dingsheng at the forefront, Yindu Institutions and even Xinyi City began to send people to talk to Liang Shuyi about this matter.

In the future, with the establishment of the island country branch, I am afraid that there will be more and more such agents. After all, if Tengyue Entertainment Company produces products, once the results are good, the gains will be even greater.

The only bad thing is that Tengyue has to review the film. According to film companies like Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, too few can be selected!
