Chapter 156: Unpredictable mind, determine the schedule

PS: Please vote for recommendation! Please vote for monthly ticket!

During the Spring Festival, "The Legend of Wesley" took the lead, and "Brothers and Brothers" was overwhelmingly popular. The two movies with big casts, big productions and big stars were released within a week of each other, stirring up changes in the entire entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island.

"Cheng Long tried his best to play "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers", but his life was hanging by a thread!" - "Xinbao",

"Surprise! Cheng Long's new drama sets off another wave of action, and the dragon brothers and tiger brothers show off their power abroad!" - "Oriental Daily".

"Ni Kuang: Xu Guanjie performed the most original Wesley!" - "Ming Pao".

"The box office for the Spring Festival is rising steadily, and excellent works are appearing frequently!" - "Sing Pao".

Even if there is a tacit understanding between the two companies to fight match-fixing, Jiahe and Xinyi City will not really hand over the box office easily. Staggering the time by a week is already a tacit choice between several parties. Next, they will still fight each other.

As soon as Ni Kuang came out to help with the stage at New Art City, Tan Yonglin, another star of "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers" from Jiahe, started singing to promote the new drama.

It was revealed that Xu Guanjie was in a coma due to lack of oxygen during the filming of "The Legend of Wesley" in Nepal, and Cheng Long almost died! He suffered a crack in his skull and multiple fractures, and he was unconscious.

There is no comment on the professionalism of the two superstars, but breaking this kind of news during the movie's release stage, you can guess with your toes that it is to promote the box office.

Regardless of the big stars at this time, the box office is guaranteed. Even superstars like Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie are very dedicated and dedicated to filming.

Of course, what remains unchanged is the unremitting efforts to promote the film.

The injuries sustained by celebrities during filming are naturally part of the movie's gimmicks.

Regardless of whether Cheng Long's movies in the 1980s and 1990s used one or two stand-ins, Cheng Long's label of "fighting for his life" was indeed spelled out by himself.

Big Nose strives hard to win the position in every drama. At this point, Fang Shilong is indeed qualified to enjoy the many abalone feasts in the entertainment industry. Why can't he get the chance to have sex with his own life?

Compared with the booming success of Golden Harvest and New Art City, Debao Film Company, as the third largest theater chain in the world, seems to be a little less capable of succeeding. There are not many major productions in the lineup.

At the end of 1986, Debao worked too hard. "Dragon in the River", "Brothers", and "Brothers of Police and Thieves" were released one after another to attract money, Sniper.

At the beginning of 1987, light comedies such as "The Happy Five" could not withstand the impact of Cheng Long and Xu Guanjie. Debao, an upstart in the film industry, was still unable to defeat the established powerhouses Jiahe and Cosmos Team Golden Princess.

Golden Harvest has a strong foundation, and famous film companies such as Xu (Xu Guanwen), Weihe, Baohe, Dalu (Cai Lan), and Heping are all responsible for distribution.

Where is Princess Jin?

It can be called the cosmic team of the 1980s! Well-funded and all-encompassing.

Needless to mention the leading star, New Art City, which alone is enough to compete with Golden Harvest's giant. The entire company includes New Art City Production Company, New Art City (Shatin) Studio, Oriental Printing, New Art Editing and Recording Studio, etc.

Etc. A real film industry giant. A real film company.

Why are companies such as Mai Dangxiong Film Company and Siyuan Film at best called independent production companies? It’s because they can only film!

1024 Locomotive! It’s just a leather company! So, if you want to really catch up with these giants, there is a long way to go!

Other film companies owned by Princess Jin are also famous, such as Yongjia Film Studio, Eryou, Liu's, and Yu Yungang Company!

Debao is much weaker in comparison. Zhongshi, Bigao, Teyi, Gaopeng, and Kaifu are all unknown and have no representative works. Only Yu Rentai's Longtai is somewhat famous. This is why Debao is relatively unknown. The reason why Bao is accustomed to releasing films from other independent production companies.

Antai, 1024 Locomotive, and Yongsheng chose Debao for this reason.

What about Debao?

I'm afraid that Dickson Poon and Xian Qi Ran hope to use the films of the three companies as their backing. On the one hand, they can consume the popularity of "Brothers of the Dragon" and "The Legend of Wesley", and on the other hand, they can pave the way for their own big production "The Final Victory".



Debao.

The atmosphere in the conference room was gloomy. Debao felt a little embarrassed due to the booming box office performance of New Art City and Golden Harvest.

"how?"

Xian Qiran left the newspaper on the conference table, "Pan Sheng called us early in the morning and asked if there was anything we could do. Let's think about it."

"Aaron's attack this time is fierce, with more than 10 million in just 5 days." Zhang Jiazhen lit up his cigarette and took a puff. "Now we are rushing to the next level. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Even if we can snipe, the gain outweighs the loss."

"Actually, there is nothing we can do..."

Shun Jianxun clicked the table confidently, "Didn't Antai, 1024, have a movie "Young and Dangerous" to be released two days ago? Why not arrange for them to be released in advance."

Xian Qiran's eyes lit up.

"The approximate schedule has been announced, but now I have changed my mind temporarily..." Zhang Jiazhen said with a slight hesitation, "I'm afraid it will damage Debao's reputation."

"Don't worry. Debao didn't ask them to distribute the movie. If you don't want to, you can just change it. Besides, the schedule is just an approximate. It's normal to change the schedule temporarily like this!" Cen Jianxun changed the screen. He looks very stupid and cunning.

"Who did the original schedule belong to?" Xian Qiran asked the staff next to him.

"Gao Zhisen Film Company's "Wealth and Power"." The person next to me answered.

"Don't worry, I will arrange this matter. "Wealthy" has our investment. There is no need to rush forward and serve as cannon fodder for New Art City and Golden Harvest. "Young and Dangerous" is just the right time to win their lives. , lost..."

Cen Jianxun narrowed his eyes and looked proud, "It's not like we don't give them a chance!"

"agree!"

"I agree!"

The senior management of Debao next to me all agreed. Everyone knows that a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Nowadays, the competition at the box office is fierce. Debao naturally gives priority to protecting the movies it invests in. Is it really sacrificing itself to feed others?

They make movies, not run a brothel.

If people don’t eat chicken, they will be punished by heaven and earth!

Jiang Zhiqiang was so demanding about the schedule, so we arranged it for him!

Isn’t that Wu Xiaozu very capable?

Seeing Zhang Jiazhen raising his hand helplessly, Cen Juanmao smiled contemptuously. He was not targeting anyone, he was targeting Wu Xiaozu.

"The Birth of a Prefix" was praised by some, but naturally others despised it.

He never regarded Wu Xiaozu's films as true art films.

As for the title of "new wave successor" that some film critics have praised, he is even more dismissive.

It's obviously just taking the wrong approach, so what kind of art is that?

There is a market for people with his kind of thinking in the intellectual film circle of Hong Kong Island. Aren’t all the New Wave people called Tsui Hark! Not everyone will really accept Wu Xiaozu.

Especially for a title like Kurosawa's, it's natural to attract bad guys!

If someone says Wu Xiaozu is handsome, there is no way to argue, everyone can see it. But things like art... haha!

Anyway, Shun Jianxun disagrees very much. He is also preparing to make a "writer's movie" with his friends Chen Guanzhong and Tang Jiming, who are real literary and artistic circles, to pay tribute to Kurosawa Akira and tell those film critics what exactly is Hong Kong's "Seven Samurai"!

Later, Shun Jianxun established a director-producer film company to shoot a series of so-called writer's films. After that, there seemed to be no news from him, but in fact, he has been active in the film industry.

Dadi Cinema is a project he invested in, which I am afraid many people don’t know.

Many Hong Kong filmmakers, especially the so-called elite literary and artistic elements, are holding bowls from the Mainland and doing dirty things. In contrast, big stars such as Liang Xiaozhao and Liu Model are more open-minded and pure.

Cen Juanmao himself had a disdain for Wu Xiaozu, a low-life "Young and Dangerous" guy. But business is business, so he would not stop "Young and Dangerous" from being released in Debao.

However, he was still willing to teach Wu Xiaozu a lesson if he could.

To be honest, if it weren't for Wu Xiaozu's two consecutive dramas that received both word-of-mouth and box office success, he would have been criticized to death by the literary and art circles.

Those intellectuals who claim to be elites do not regard the films made by Wu Xiaozu as real art!

What's more, Wu Xiaozu's background was naturally against them!

Director Wu himself didn't even know that a good young man like himself, who was kind to others, willing to help others, handsome and stunningly handsome, and affable and wealthy, was actually being remembered by many elites.

He didn't even know that in this life, he had snatched the schedule of "Wealth and Power".

In his previous life, Debao was a blessing in disguise. The low-budget comedy "Rich and Rich" became a dark horse at the box office during the Spring Festival that year. In this life... I'm afraid it will be postponed!
