Chapter 133 Its time for major real estate groups to recharge ATV(1/3)
On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as Zhao Donghuai was sitting in the big office of Zhao Films, he received a call from Ross from Warner Bros. He hoped that Zhao Donghuai would let Zhou Huimin, Monica Bellucci and Lola Fonna go with him.
North America is running a promotional campaign for Rescue 2.
Director Zhao decisively refused!
Ah-Rong, that Leslie, went to concerts for several months, was kissed by force without realizing it, was often overwhelmed by the fans once, and only kept boxers after that, and was even bitten.
This allows his two girls to go to Xuanfa and hold concerts? What about making international jokes?
Hurricane 2 started with Warner spending US$15 million to buy out the screening rights in North America and Europe, which was a bit more expensive than the previous films.
But it's worth every penny, with a box office of nearly $20 million in its first weekend.
The total North American box office of Taken 1 exceeded 60 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office of Lonely Tiger was more than 60 million U.S. dollars. Even though it was not in the top ten of the North American box office list in 1984, it was squeezed out by other blockbusters at the end of the year.
In 1984, only one of the top ten North American box office films, John Wick 1, was at the bottom of the list.
But the second part of the collaboration between Hurricane and Flying Tiger, starring Lin Zhengying, Zhou Huimin, and Liu Dehua? It is really a new trend that is a box office hit.
In Hong Kong Island, when it was launched on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it opened to HK$3 million. This trend is likely to exceed the total box office of HK$40 million, but it is normal, Lin Zhengying, Andy Lau!
Linked sequel!
Since Zhou Huimin's debut album, she has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide, which is equivalent to achieving 80 platinum records in Hong Kong? It is no exaggeration to say that she is the number one beauty queen in the music industry.
With numerous bonuses, Hurricane 2 made a daily box office of 3 million as soon as it was released.
In East Asia and Southeast Asia, Li Guoxing once again bought out the film for 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office revenue of Zhao Donghuai's movie was also 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
after a while.
When Johnnie To, Zhang Guorong, Leung Ka-fai, Chow Yun-fat, Wan Ziliang, Richard Norton, Jet Binney and others all entered the main office of Zhao Films, Zhao Donghuai distributed the scripts one by one with a smile.
"This is my new play. Ah Fai or Ah Rong will play the male lead. Whoever I choose in the end will depend on your performance opposite the female lead. You guys, let's see who can play the second male villain..."
"Let me remind you, I'm not worried about your acting skills, A Liang or A Fa, but I ideally would like the male lead to be white and more likely to be a hit. Richard and Binny are my first choices, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the female lead's acting skills.
Regardless of whether the male protagonist or the second male villain, they all have a lot of scenes opposite the female protagonist."
"If nothing goes wrong, the heroine may be played by French Rose Isabelle Adjani."
After a few words.
The two white actors, including Ah Rong, Ah Fa, Wan Ziliang, and Liang Jiahui, all stared wide-eyed.
Ah Hui was silent for a while, and sweat began to form on his forehead, "The 19-year-old nominated American Oscar-winning actress, and the 26-year-old won two awards at one of the three major European film festivals and a double-winner at the Cannes Film Festival with two of his own films?
?」
Even if he won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards when he debuted... No, this time he was dodged by a butterfly and only received a nomination, which is enough to prove his acting skills.
But at this moment, he still felt a lot of pressure, and he was deeply afraid of being beaten and beaten.
He didn’t even read the script, but he already felt this way!
Adjani hasn't agreed to be the heroine yet, and she still has to read the script. The day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is February 27, 1985 in the Gregorian calendar. But if she is not satisfied with the script, doesn't Zhao Donghuai still have songs?
Besides, the probability that Adjani will fall in love with the script is quite high. When the original version of The Ghost Story was drafted in Hollywood, the male protagonist considered various superstars and movie stars, but they were all rejected. Those big stars felt that they were acting in a strange movie.
The ghost scene is too funny and too LO, affecting the image of the superstar.
The heroine also invited Nicole Kidman and Meg Ryan, but they didn't work out.
Just before this, love scenes between humans and ghosts had rarely been popular in Hollywood, but what can I say, Isabelle Adjani, the French Rose, likes to play all kinds of messy heroine dramas.
She doesn't like to accept female leads in orthodox popcorn commercials.
She basically doesn't like the scripts that Hollywood stars are rushing to act in. The stars push them one after another and come to her. As long as the quality of the script is good, there are all kinds of weird settings, and some of the acting skills are good, she likes it best!
If it still doesn’t work, add more money!
Adjani's acting doesn't focus too much on the pay, but more on the script and performance, but she still has to make a living.
At the age of 30, you are not married but you have a six-year-old child... Madam, you don’t want children either??
In terms of music, the original soundtrack when the male and female protagonists hugged and kissed while making pottery was (unrestrained melody), which was sung by the Righteous Brothers in 1955. Zhao Donghuai planned to spend money to buy the copyright and let Zhou Huimin and Monica Bay sing.
Lu Qi covers it.
In addition to this cover, he also sang the theme song of My Heart Will Go On and Titanic. This time it was a solo by Zhou Huimin, a solo by Monica, and a joint version by the three women.
When the time comes to sell a single record, this is not to suppress Laura Fonna, but this girl is too old to smoke and her voice cannot sing a solo version.
Compared with the singing skills of the two women, Celine Dion will definitely pale in comparison, but it is not difficult to become famous. After all, the quality of the songs lies here, and he can't take advantage of outsiders.
It's also a love movie, and there's also a parting between life and death, so this song can't be any worse than (unrestrained melody).
After Zhou Huimin released a big album, and after Monica Bellucci finished filming Super Body, they have been working hard to perfect this song for more than two months!
After practicing singing, Monica will be the liar psychic. The setting is that she looks noble, cold, mysterious and deceptive, but when she actually encounters a ghost, she will reveal a funny atmosphere. Laura Fangna and Zhou Huimin will guest star in her.
Two psychics, or two apprentices.
The original black female psychic has good acting skills and is very talented in comedy. She can be funny even when she is acting crazy. For example, before meeting the male protagonist's ghost, she was exaggerating and funny to fool customers, and her behavior and words were very nonsensical.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Monica cannot take that route, just change the settings.
She is also a liar, with a noble and mysterious style. She is the kind of person who stands on the big screen, even if she changes a few poses with an expressionless face, she still has the charm to attract attention. When facing customers, she is arrogant and cold. If you don't believe me, don't
Come, don't doubt my attitude when you come.
But when I really heard the words of the male protagonist's ghost, I was immediately shattered after confirming it several times. I was shocked and fainted by the contrasting feeling.
after a while.
After a group of main creators finished reading the script, many people's expressions gradually became weird. Everyone saw that Liang Jiahui and Zhang Guorong had different emotions... After all, in the split-shot script, these guys had many intimate scenes with the heroine.
The scene after the pottery making is complete, and it can be regarded as an enlightenment movie.
But after the turn of the millennium, North America's largest movie rental chain launched a public opinion poll. A large number of movie fans voted with their feet for the most romantic love moment in the history of Hollywood movies. It was the kiss scene between the male and female protagonists in "The Ghost Story".
This is Zhao Donghuai's helplessness in finding an outsider to film the heroine.
After reading the script, when Zhao Donghuai looked at the two white male actors, Jet Binney smiled bitterly and said, "Sheng Zhao, I can't play the second male lead."
He is very good at acting, but this male lead is involved in a lot of dramas, so he really can't act well, especially when he learns that his opponent is a French rose who has won multiple Best Actress medals.
Richard Norton scratched his head, "Sheng Zhao, can you give me two days? I can prepare and see if I can perform a villain who is mostly literary and dramatic."
He is also a classic white villain in Hong Kong movies, from Summer Lucky Star, Magic Jade to City Hunter, a good guy and so on, capable of both literary and military skills.
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Okay, Adjani will arrive in Hong Kong on the 27th the day after tomorrow. On the 28th, you, A-liang, and A-fa will each perform a scene opposite her. If you are good, you can do it. If not, there is nothing we can do."
Jet Binny smiled and said, "Sheng Zhao, I think I can try to be the killer hired by the second male lead to kill the male protagonist..."
This is a sci-fi supernatural romance film, but everyone knows that it will become a hit once it is made, like A Chinese Ghost Story.
Zhao Donghuai has never made a romance movie before? Even if it fails, actively participating in it now is an opportunity to show his goodwill to Zhao Sheng!
So what if this movie fails? As long as Zhao Sheng picks up new action movies again, it will immediately be a masterpiece that can enter Hollywood and Europe. Wouldn't that be a huge opportunity for Richard Norton and Binnie?
After the crowd dispersed a bit, Zhang Guorong grabbed the script excitedly and said, "Zhao Sheng, why did you choose me? Although I was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, the award was very poor at that time, and now my acting skills are not as good as Ah Hui's.
"
Zhou Runfa hurriedly said, "Zhao Sheng, I feel like I can also play the lead male role..."
Ah Fa didn't dare to dislike playing the villain in Zhao Sheng's film, but he wanted to try the male lead role. When talking about this, when Tony Leung Ka Fai and Zhang Guorong were also a little surprised, Director Zhao waved his hands speechlessly, "You can pull it off.
You have become too unrestrained since experiencing the Alian incident."
This is a kissing scene. Even after the director yelled, he still enjoyed it and took advantage of it. The actress couldn't push him away.
I only dared to reveal this level of information since I broke the news on Manyu's show. Who knows if there is anything more explosive?
In this regard, Afa's conduct is relatively poor.
Zhang Guorong and Liang Jiahui looked at each other, a little speechless. They did not expect that Ah Fa would be dismissed for this reason.
But... with so many kissing scenes, Ah Wing and Ah Fai are indeed more ethical.
Zhao Donghuai spoke again, "You have also read all the scripts. Therefore, there is an example of A Chinese Ghost Story before. There is a high chance that such a human-ghost love drama will break out, not only in Asia, but also in North America and Europe."
"This will be a classic love movie once it's made. As for the special effects, I spent hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars on them. Super-body movies are all about training the team. This one will continue to be trained. I also hope that this movie can achieve new success in the white world.
An achievement in action movies."
"Otherwise Amin and Monica, including Laura, wouldn't be in supporting roles."
"She will fly in on the 27th, and you will start competing on the 28th! That's it, let's go back and prepare."
………………
On February 27, Zhao Donghuai left Amin, who had returned to the sea, to rest at home.
When he arrived at Zhao's Pictures, he saw Monica Bellucci chatting happily with Isabelle Adjani.
The two of them were talking in English and French, and Qiu Shuzhen looked confused and confused.
Seeing him, Azhen ran over to greet him excitedly, and Monica also smiled and said, "Brother Huai, Adjani's English is really good, fluent than mine."
Nonsense, this French Rose is 30 years old, ten years older than you.
This time she spoke in English, and Adjani also smiled and said, "I don't dare to take it seriously. You are an Italian. You are so good at English and French, and you are so young. You are so powerful..."
