Qiao Feng and Zhou Runfa, who were taking a break from their busy schedule, talked about his new movie, and then they had lunch together.

During this period, the two talked about the just-concluded 11th Hong Kong Film Awards. This year's Academy Awards are not too suspense. As expected, the Best Picture was won by Cuo Hao, who led the trend of biographical films last year. Not only that, Cuo Hao also won the Best Screenwriter Award.

The Best Director was won by Xu Ke with Huang Feihong's ambitions. Xu Ke's movie also started a new trend in Huang Feihong's movies. As far as Qiao Feng knows, several companies have prepared and filmed Huang Feihong's movies this year. It can be seen that the judges of the Film Awards like this film and Xu Ke's love for Huang Feihong's character and action style, because the best action guidance was also awarded to this movie.

In addition, the best soundtrack was also won by this movie.

It can be said that in terms of the number of awards, Huang Feihong is the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards.

After the April awards season, both Hong Kong and North America ushered in the annual summer season.

When you see the movies and lineups released in June and July, even if you are a god-like post, you have to be glad. Fortunately, the Detective was released in April. If this is the most competitive period in the summer, I am afraid that the box office results are now delusional.

This year, Zhou Xingchi, who is so popular, has two movies released during the summer season. The Dead and the Cauldron are working together, and the first-line actresses such as Anita Mui or Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen.

There is also the Smiling and Proud Wanderer of the Swordsman, Dongfang Bubai, who cooperated with two consecutive Kung Fu Emperors Li Lianjie, Lin Qingxia, Guan Zhilin, Li Jiaxin and others.

Of course, there is also Cheng Long, who is currently focusing on Hollywood, and there is also a police story 3 that cooperates with Yang Ziqiong, and a red drama section that cooperates with Anita Mui and Dong Biao.

In addition, although it is not as good as Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Zhou Xingchi, Liang Jiahui, who is also a popular first-line male star, also has a 92 Black Rose vs. Black Rose.

It's really a crowd of big-name movies released.

But Zhou Runfa doesn't envy him.

Because whether it is Zhou Xingchi's two movies, Li Lianjie's Swordsman, or Liang Jiahui's 92 Black Rose and Black Rose are not suitable for large-scale distribution outside Southeast Asia.

His hard-working detective is different.

Although the box office results in Hong Kong were not satisfactory, Qiao Feng was preparing to let MGM release it in North America.

Even if it cannot reach the large production, the screening volume of heavyweight films that can often cost thousands of yuan, even if it is a screening scale of hundreds of yuan, it is not comparable to other Hong Kong movies.

In this regard, Cheng Long's Police Story 3 can be compared with the Red Series, and perhaps the box office can be much higher. After all, Cheng Long's reputation in North America is much greater than that in him.

Of course, Zhou Runfa also knew that the deceptive could not get any good schedule for distribution in North America, and he would never dare to imagine the summer season.

Because even none of Cheng Long’s two movies are scheduled to be released in the summer season.

Cheng Long's movies cannot get the treatment, so it is naturally even more impossible for Zhou Runfa to get it at this time.

What's more, Zhou Runfa also knows that unlike the previous two years, there are too many key projects for MGM this year. He should be grateful if Qiao Feng can still think about his movies.

The promotion in the North American summer season has already begun in full swing. Major film companies are sharpening their knives and want to cut a piece of cake down in the most plentiful period of the year.

MGM has been scheduled for the second half of the year, from the slum millionaire to the Lion King, to the Lion King, to the Lion Angel, the Red Pink League, and the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling. If you include his harsh detective and Cheng Long's police story 3, the Red Series area is really the direct schedule to schedule until the end of the year.

Compared to MGM's various types of films, other film companies have relatively single types of films.

I don’t know if the box office sales of the anti-witness star made these film companies feel that comedy films are more popular this year, and most companies choose to release comedy films in the summer.

I have to say that MGM’s development over the years is really not comparable to the other six majors. Before Qiao Feng took over, the number of films in a year was only three or five.

For example, Paramount, Universal, Warner, etc., they invest in dozens of films a year, and they basically have various types.

When you see the comedy films selling well, you will be able to arrange the comedy films to be released in the following time.

Like Disney, two comedy films were released directly in the summer season, one is its own live-action animated film, the Ruddoll Petty of the God of Wealth.

There is also a sequel to a movie with a very good box office in the past two years. It is called Dear, I have enlarged my child.

They are all family-friendly movies, but the main groups they are children and parents who take care of them.

In Disney's promotion, these two movies are both benchmarked against the Lion King, who is also a family-friendly family. In their opinion, the target audience of other movies does not overlap very much with them, and the biggest opponent is the Lion King.

Moreover, for several years, the movies produced by DreamWorks Animation Studios have been overwhelming Disney, and they have been looking for opportunities to get back the scene.

But the most movies released this summer are Universal, and they are basically comedy.

One is called Yiwu Half Wife, and the starring Steve Martin, the male lead of the new father-in-law, is a veteran comedy.

One is called Feiyue Changsheng, starring Bruce Willis, Meryl Streep, and the protagonist of the story is a dog barking invincible head.

The only feature film is the class contradiction between Irish tenants and large landlords and the love story that transcends the class in such a context.

The starring is Tom Ge and Tom Geum, who became famous with his ambitions and Tom Geum Sister Nicole Kidman.

This is the second collaboration between the two. The first collaboration is the thunder ambition of a love affair. This collaboration can be said to be a couple.

Those who can be put into the summer season and have a good lineup are all the ones that the film company has high expectations, and MGM certainly attaches great importance to it.

After all, there are a few movies in it that are sequels. Like my dear, I enlarged my child. The predecessor of this movie, my dear, I reduced the box office and achieved very good results.

However, what MGM feared the most was the return of Batman produced by Warner, directed by the famous Dark Gothic director Tim Burton.

It is also a sequel movie, Batman's previous work is amazing. As the first superhero movie directed by Tim Burton, Batman scored $250 million in North America that year, and the global box office was as high as $410 million, and his reputation was quite good.

Batman's return continues the style of the first part, and is blessed with the super high reputation of the previous work. As long as there is no major surprise, it is hard to say whether it can reach the height of the previous work, but the box office results are definitely not bad.

It is probably one of the reasons why other film companies collectively released comedy in the summer season. They don’t want to use their own big-produced movies to compete with Batman, who is likely to report the box office.

First of all, the type of comedy will not crash, and Batman who has watched the dark gothic style is not allowed to turn around and watch comedy to adjust his mood.
