Time passes and January 18th arrives as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Zhao Donghuai received various data on Memories of Murder around the world. Thanks to the popularity of news in reality, this movie even has Chinese and South Korean actors and actresses.

In North America, the box office grossed more than 11 million US dollars in the first four days of the weekend. Yes, more than 11 million US dollars is pretty cool.

This is not a kung fu action movie, nor is it a movie with big IP and special effects, it is just a crime thriller.

It grossed more than 11 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, which is very high. After all, Cheng Long's Police Story 1 spent a total of 78 million Hong Kong dollars on promotion in North America before it took in 27 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America.

That’s Cheng Long’s police story!

It is enough to witness the gold content of more than 11 million U.S. dollars, which is very powerful. It not only has the social news effect of real-life linkage, but also the efforts of Liu Dehua's fans to support it.

The first weekend in North America was more than 11 million US dollars, the first weekend in Europe was more than 9 million US dollars, and the island country was more than 300 million yen. South Korea was more explosive, with more than 2.8 million moviegoers in one go. The box office of Hong Kong Island was 13 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office was 11 million.

Hong Kong dollar box office.

For Mak Hsiung, this is another outstanding masterpiece of Lao Mak. Even for Zhao Films, it is one of the classic old movies that can be preserved and will not be considered outdated after more than 20 years.

Compared with "Memories of Murder", "Ip Man 2" has a better record. With the blessing of the first film of Ip Man, the second film is not as sensational as "Memories of Murder" in terms of news sensation, but the box office is real.

exploded.

Ip Man 1 was also promoted in North America with a box office of 78 million Hong Kong dollars. Due to the popularity of Bruce Lee's Kung Fu, North America finally won more than 70 million US dollars at the box office and established a relatively strong fan base. Therefore, the second Master Yip movie was released in North America.

The opening weekend gross was $19 million.

It was a full $8 million higher than "Memories of Murder", and Europe also took in $13 million, with the island country taking 600 million yen in four days, Hong Kong taking 16 million Hong Kong dollars, Wanwan taking 18 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and the mainland taking 10 million in four days.

RMB box office, this is the result of the Mainland's 7 to 8 million theater chains, which only arranged two screening halls for Ip Man 2.

The Ip Man series has the innate bonus of Bruce Lee. If this movie project hadn't been suppressed by "Memories of Murder", it would have been the most powerful box office bomb during the Lunar New Year.

With the strong performance of Ip Man 2, Chen Hongdu said happily in the ATV office, "Boss, the first two parts of Ip Man were so successful, what are you going to make for the third part? I feel that its popularity is related to the national sentiment."

"First fight the ghost of the island country and then fight the Yinlun boxing champion... I feel like there is nothing to fight next time?"

Ah Hong is the heroine in both parts of the series. This series has reminded countless movie fans that Ah Hong also became a superstar in Asia thanks to the storm of "My Sassy Girl".

She is too lazy to play roles in various idol TV series, but when good movie projects become popular, she still feels a lot of accomplishment.

Zhao Donghuai was dumbfounded, "You have a good vision. It will be difficult to make sequels in this series. However, it is normal for the sequels of various major movies around the world to have worse and worse results and reputation."

No matter how Hong Yanbao and Yuan Biao study, the box office of Ip Man's subsequent films may be very strong. If they become hits once or twice, it will be difficult to catch up with the first two films in terms of reputation.

Chen Hong smiled and opened her handbag, "By the way, San Mao handed me a book yesterday, saying they wanted to see if I was interested in taking pictures. The name is Wing Chun, and it is related to the suspected founder of Wing Chun.

"

"Martial Arts Movies of the Qing Dynasty."

"If either me or Sister Jia Hui is interested in being the leading actor, the cast can naturally be filled with the most luxurious Kung Fu stars. If we are not interested in starring in it ourselves, it will be run as an ordinary commercial movie."

Zhao Donghuai was stunned. He grabbed the book and started reading it. It was suspected to be a martial arts movie by the founder of Wing Chun?

There are different opinions in history. There is still some controversy about who is the true originator of Wing Chun. However, Yan Wing Chun is the founder of the school, which is also one of the more popular theories.

In the original track, Yuan Heping, Donnie Yen, Michelle Yeoh, Hung Xin, etc. also starred in one (Wing Chun) in 1994. It tells the story of Yan Wing Chun's founding of the school and the creation of Wing Chun boxing.

The film was well made, at least it was watchable, and it was one of the more enjoyable Hong Kong films. But it couldn't stand up to 1994? That was an era when Mondays were always at their peak.

That was when Xu Ke's Once Upon a Time series exploded, and when ancient costume martial arts movies became a hot topic, countless film companies followed the trend of martial arts. For example, when Mr. Zombie became popular, countless film companies followed suit and the entire genre was ruined.

Therefore, that Wing Chun movie was a hit, and the box office in Hong Kong was only 4.15 million.

In an era when blockbuster movies often sell out 40 million Hong Kong dollars on every two weeks, your total box office is 4 million? Starring Donnie Yen and Michelle Yeoh, it’s only 4 million? It’s a complete mess.

But there were too many such films at that time. For example, Lin Qingxia's The Six-Fingered Piano Demon looked good, with a box office of 4.55 million in Hong Kong, and the new Tianlong Part 8: Tianshan Tonglao, which also looked good, starring Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, Zhang Min, etc.

Taiwan is amazing, the box office in Hong Kong is 6.52 million...

To put it bluntly, these films are much better than the many bad films of the 2010s.

After he roughly read the plot synopsis of Wing Chun, he realized that it was a martial arts movie with a female protagonist, and it was specifically used to praise people.

It roughly tells the story of a family surnamed Yan in eastern Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty. The head of the household was Yan Er. His wife died young and he had a daughter, Yan Yongchun. She had a pretty face since she was a child and was good at some ordinary Nanquan. When Yan Er was falsely accused, in order to avoid being unjustly imprisoned, he took her with her.

Following Yan Wing Chun, he traveled to Shu Province and opened a tofu shop to make a living.

Because the tofu is well made, Wu Meishitai, an expert from the nearby mountains, often goes down to buy it, so she has a good relationship with the Yan family.

When the wealthy people in the area coveted Yan Wing Chun's beautiful beauty and wanted to take Yan Wing Chun as his concubine, the five masters took Yan Wing Chun away and taught her various boxing techniques. Yan Wing Chun also quickly became a master of boxing due to her outstanding talent.

Later, she easily defeated the local tycoon who wanted to rape her, and she began to live a life of chivalry and protection. However, when bandits were about to cause trouble, Yan Wing Chun gathered all he had learned and achieved great success.

A group of powerful masters, eradicating bandits and bullies, etc.

Martial arts movies with big heroines...

Only a general storyline has been decided, and the details still need to be filled in.

The first half of the story is basically a historical portrayal of Yim Wing Chun's real experience, but the second half becomes a Shuangwen routine, which is more dramatic.

The action setting of this version (Wing Chun) is still the boxing style of (Ip Man) Part 1 and 2, which is more realistic and punches to the flesh. In the era when hot weapons were brought out and abandoned, various boxing masters

The lethality is still very strong.

It's not the type of (Six-fingered Piano Demon) (Tianshan Tonglao) who flies around.

As long as there is an outline and action settings, Zhao Donghuai also knows that if he shoots with care and lets a group of talents fill in the details, then the finished product of this comedy martial arts film will not be bad.

After watching it, Zhao Donghuai laughed and said, "If this is filmed, taking advantage of the craze started by Ip Man, it should have a good box office and have the opportunity to become a big hit. Are you interested in acting?"

Chen Hong smiled and nodded, "I'm a little excited, but compared to Sister Jiahui and Sister Min, there's still a big gap in flexibility and physical fitness between me and me. I can't do the standing splits or the big splits casually.

I can’t even do side flips and the like, and I can’t easily run a thousand meters without gasping for air.”

"Boss, you have to help me make up for it...open the back door more and use the small stove."

A lot of action superstars have come to play supporting roles, etc. It is obviously a popular martial arts movie with a heroine in ancient costume. She has also gained a lot of knowledge. Naturally, she knows that if this movie is completed, it will explode in popularity, right?

no hope.

You invite Cheng Long, Hong Qinbao, Li Lianjie, Lin Zhengying, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingxing, etc. to make a big fight between the various ancient boxing masters? All the southern fists, northern kicks and so on are brought together and displayed.

It is not difficult to produce quality products.

The main plot is that the little girl Doufu Xishi becomes the founder of the world, and a generation of heroes eliminate bullies and bandits to protect the country and the people.

In an ancient setting, a woman had little chance to meet her future husband before she got married, so there was no room for the male protagonist to appear in this movie.

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

Director Zhao is a good person.

Since Chen Hong is interested and wants guidance and improvement, he doesn't mind putting in a little more effort. Speaking of which, Guan Jiahui has been with him for more than four years...

The kind of physical fitness that you can easily run a thousand meters without gasping for breath cannot be improved in a short time.

If you want to fight well and beautifully in action movie martial arts routines, body flexibility, physical fitness and various difficult movements are all basic requirements.

The current situation is that the Ip Man movie is taking advantage of Brother Xiao Long's halo, and now Yan Wing Chun is being used to take advantage of the popularity of the Ip Man series of movies.

………………

As time goes by, the three Lunar New Year blockbusters continue to generate huge box office performance in the next week around the world.

A dormitory community in Yaxi.

After the foursome Liu Yijun, Hu Jun, Zhang Jiayi and Lu Yi also contributed to the box office, they were walking back to the dormitory. As they walked, Lu Yi said excitedly, "Brother Liu, (Prank Kiss) will be broadcast soon."

It’s over.”

"I guess it will be aired before the Spring Festival holiday and you will become famous. By then you will be able to have a super fat year when you return to your hometown!"

Although Liu Yijun wanted to be modest, he also knew that being too modest would be pretending to be too big. He could only smile and said, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. Lao Zhang and Brother Hu, you are stronger than me here."

Acting school.”

After half a year of studying at Asia Opera, let’s not talk about the various lecturers and professors that Asia Opera has recruited in Hong Kong and the Mainland. The guest professors from the Oscars and the Cannes International Film Festival are international movie kings and best directors.

Those guys have short class hours. For example, Al Pacino only teaches four classes a month on average. Each class is one and a half hours, which is equivalent to two half-day lectures a month.

But I can’t stand it, there are so many visiting professors!

With this kind of educational resources, those who are really talented and willing to study hard will really start to show their strength.

At this stage, the completed idol drama is scheduled to be broadcast on the evening of January 25th, with two consecutive episodes. As one of the main creators, Liu Yijun has already known about it.

Something like Dahong? Now that it's here, he can only hug it.

He had already been happily planning how many things he should buy for the New Year so that the whole family would have a prosperous New Year.

Starring in a big idol drama, he also received a salary of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a huge fortune in itself. In the upcoming craze of bringing goods, countless seniors have proven how rich this road can be.

After F4 and Zhou Haimei aired Meteor Garden, they pocketed millions of Hong Kong dollars in just a few months. He was so happy that he didn't know how to spend his money.

At this moment, Liu Yijun's BB phone rang. When he grabbed it and took a look, he suddenly thought and said with a smile, "I'll call you back."

Xiao Liu was still young and could not hold back too many things. The excitement and anticipation on his face made Hu Jun and Zhang Jiayi guess what they were doing. Seeing Xiao Liu running towards the public phone booth in the community, Old Hu took pictures

He lowered his thigh and said, "Fuck, no, are you looking for him for a new project?"

Zhang Jiayi's teeth were sore with envy, "Before I graduated, I was starring in various roles. In the past, only the TVB Five or our ATV F4 had this kind of reputation... There is a huge gap between handsome and handsome!"
