162 [A New Peak]

After Sammo Hung left, Ye Jin and Mai Jia continued to discuss the shooting plan.

Props, costumers, lighting artists, makeup artists, art directors, scene notes, drama affairs, etc. are also invited to study and check for omissions.

Two days later, the plan was finally formulated.

Ye Jin immediately issued a notice notice notifying the staff in front and behind the scenes to start work.

On the day when "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" started, "The Gods' Kill" was released for thirty-one days, and finally it was lost.

The final box office was 7.2 million Hong Kong dollars, setting a record in the history of Hong Kong films.

This achievement also made all walks of life exclaim.

The previous 6.7 million Hong Kong dollars has already made all walks of life envious. Unexpectedly, this is still not Ye Jin's limit. He immediately created another 7.2 million Hong Kong dollars record. I really don't know how many miracles he has to create.

And this year alone, the box office of three movies he starred in, "The Snake-shaped Hand", "Drunk Fist" and "The God-Strike" has reached more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars.

Correspondingly, the total box office of the Hong Kong film market last year, with Western and Chinese films only 70.45 million Hong Kong dollars. It is equivalent to Ye Jin alone being able to match nearly a quarter of the market.

Such results are quite terrifying. In 2018, the total box office in the mainland was RMB 609 billion, and one-quarter of them was RMB 15 billion.

Wu Qi has starred in so many movies, and the total box office of the movies over the years has been added together. As of the end of 18, including "The Wandering Earth", it has only been 12.2 billion yuan.

Ye Jin has been the protagonist for less than a year, which is equivalent to achieving such a result. More than 16 million Hong Kong dollars is more than the box office revenue of most actors today. To describe it in one word, that is [this is so horrible].

What's more, it's only September now, and Ye Jin is about to shoot a new film.

By then, one-third of the total box office in Xiangjiang will likely be contributed by Ye Jin.

Just thinking about it makes me feel incredible.

Therefore, on the day the filming of "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" was launched, almost all major media in Xiangjiang gathered on the set of Jiahe.

...

"Mr. Ye, you are really hardworking. You only make four movies a year." A reporter smiled.

Ye Jin smiled, "I think I can take advantage of my youth and energy, and I can shoot more if I can shoot more. There is no such thing as saying that if I don’t work hard at a young age, I will only be sad. It’s hard to wait until the seventh and eighty years old to work harder. Even if I am willing to act, no one will be willing to watch it."

In fact, he is not very hardworking. In 1992, Zhou Xingchi made seven movies: "The Deer and the Cauldron" series, "Happy Events in the Family", "The Dead and the Dead", "The Dead Official", "The Martial Arts Prize Su Qier", "The Comics Weilong", and "The Forbidden School Weilong 2". He dominated the top five annual box office rankings that year. Since then, the name of [Step Chow] has been completely famous and no one can match.

Compared to Zhou Xingchi, Ye Jin is still a little bit behind.

"Mr. Ye, what is your secret to making so many blockbuster movies?" a reporter asked curiously.

"I think if you want to make a big shot in a movie, you must first understand the audience's psychology and shoot movies that the audience likes to watch." Ye Jin smiled.

After the movies in Xiangjiang fell, many directors went north to develop. However, they did not understand the viewing psychology of mainland audiences and only took out the old routines in Xiangjiang before, but the movies they made suffered box office Waterloo one after another.

In comparison, in order to understand the psychology of mainland audiences, Wang Jing moved his home to the mainland, and stayed in the theater for six consecutive months to study the audience's interest in watching movies.

Although his movies have a bad reputation, the three movies have a total box office of 2.6 billion yuan in the "Macau Storm" series. In any case, it cannot be said that it is a failed work.

When the reporters heard Ye Jin say this, they couldn't help but curl their lips.

[Touch the audience's psychology], this is simple, but it is really not easy to do. It is said that it is difficult to draw bones by painting dragons and tigers, and it is difficult to know people and faces but not the heart. The audience's psychology is not so easy to be understood.

"Mr. Ye, your "Divine Fight" is better than "Sound and Sex" directed by Li Hanxiang. Does this mean that you have surpassed him?" a reporter asked again.

"Of course not." Ye Jin smiled, "This era will not stop you from shining, but you cannot cover the glory of anyone. Director Li Hanxiang is a filmmaker in the Creation Times. I am just a junior who follows others and dare not make rash things."

This reporter was obviously trying to sow discord, but Ye Jin knew in his heart that even if his movie box office exceeded director Li Hanxiang's, it only means that during this period, his movies were more popular with the audience than the movies directed by Li Hanxiang.

In terms of artistic attainments and pioneering innovation, he can't catch up with director Li Hanqing.

Director Li Hanxiang created three major films: [Huangmei Tu], [Fengyue Laughing Film] and [Qing Palace Drama]. They are unique masters and can remember them well in the history of Xiangjiang Film.

When the reporter saw him say this, he couldn't help but smile at each other. Ye Jin is really good at talking.

He is so young and has achieved such good results, but he is not as arrogant as he is. Such a mind is really rare.

...

"Mr. Ye, I heard that you are buying shops and investing everywhere?" Another reporter asked curiously.

"Yes. I'm worried that I won't have money to use when I get old, so I bought a few shops to save it." Ye Jin nodded and said pitifully, "You also know that the star-killing industry is more likely to be injured. If I unfortunately become lame in my legs and half of my body are paralyzed, I'd better have a support."

"Then how many stores have you purchased now?" the reporter asked curiously when he heard this.

"There are not many, only seven families." Ye Jin waved his hand and said.

After hearing what he said, the reporters' eyes lit up and were extremely envious.

Even if the seven shops are located in a very remote location and do not have much large stores, they are worth at least several million Hong Kong dollars.

Ye Jin is only twenty-one years old this year, and he is much richer than most people.

...

After the reporter's interview, "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" officially started filming.

Ye Jin is still filming in the countryside of New Territories, first filming the decisive battle between Chen Xinglong and Ren Tianhua.

Sammo Hung specially sent Chen Huiyi and Lin Zhengying to help Ye Jin. In addition, Qian Yuesheng, Chen Long, Zhong Fa, Yuan Xinyi, a total of seven people, to help this decisive battle and conceive a martial arts scene.

Generally speaking, young directors are always bullied on the crew.

Those lighting artists, photographers, prop artists, makeup artists, art directors, etc. will rely on their predecessors to bully the young, cheat on their own, and make money for themselves.

Like a prop artist, you can report the price of a tool. The cost of making a prop can be done for one or two hundred yuan, but it costs one or two thousand yuan. If a young director has no experience, he may be cheated and will spend hundreds of dollars at once.

For example, the lighting engineer will turn on the lights casually in order to be lazy. As a result, the picture is white and black, but in short, it is impossible to see it; for the makeup artist will put on makeup casually in order to be lazy, regardless of whether it is good or not, and whether it is even playful.

These are common phenomena in the crew.

However, Ye Jin is now a popular fan in the industry and is also a popular person supported by Jiahe. If anyone can't get along with him, it's that he can't get along with his own job.
