Chapter 353 Can That Book Sell 780,000 Hong Kong Dollars?(1/3)
Chapter 353 of Hong Kong Entertainment’s life simulator text volume, can it be sold for HK$780,000? November 20, Tuesday.
After Zhao Donghuai was sitting in the ATV office, Xiaoxian came over and said, "Ah Heng and Jia Ling are here. They have been waiting outside for more than half an hour."
Director Zhao was surprised and said, "Why are they back? Isn't it Thanksgiving the day after tomorrow? This is the second week since the movie was released. The show will continue to run. The more runs, the more money it will make."
Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Jia Ling and Ah Heng are back, but the two generations are still performing on the road."
"This one is really a big hit. It grossed 17.3 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. When multiplied by three, it can easily exceed 50 million U.S. dollars. When multiplied by four, it's even more. Isn't this movie promising? It can break 100 million U.S. dollars in Europe, Canada and the United States combined?"
"Once it breaks through 100 million US dollars, the market will become even more prosperous."
Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Let them come in. It will be 1991 in about forty days, and a movie will earn US$670 million at the box office in North America. It is not really an explosion."
Based on the original trajectory, the box office in North America alone exceeded 70 million? You couldn't even crack the top 15 in the annual box office in 1990.
Even Edward Scissorhands, with a box office of US$56 million in North America, is only 20th on the annual ticket list.
After Liu Jialing and Ah Heng entered the door, they bowed and thanked them as soon as they came in. They were so excited that they couldn't stop. Xuanfa gave it a try for 20 million U.S. dollars. This is a big success. Everyone can see it at this stage.
Yes, the North American box office can easily exceed US$50 million, and it is even more likely to hit the US$600-700 level.
Plus Europa can really exceed 100 million!
Even if you calculate it based on US$100 million, even if you pay taxes and other messy things, if you cut off US$20 million, you still have US$80 million, which can be divided between Xu's Pictures and the theater chain.
this……
We can only further express our gratitude to Zhao Donghuai. If Zhao Donghuai had not been in charge, they would not have been able to release it on a large scale in theaters, let alone wait for the money back.
East Asia and Southeast Asia are also booming, and the road is smooth. Just four days in the mainland, it can easily exceed 150 million.
With this movie, Liu Jialing was suddenly promoted from a TVB flower to a first-class female superstar, similar to Julia Roberts after starring in the movie.
This is even stronger than Zhao Yazhi, who became famous again because Zhao Yazhi's movies have never been a hit in Europe and the United States.
Throughout the movie, before Liu Jialing died of cancer, she left a very classic sentence to the male protagonist, "If the worst thing in life is death, how can there be difficulties in life that we can't face?"
In this redemptive love movie, the last blank space is just the right amount of warmth and gentleness.
They did not come empty-handed. They brought a pair of antique porcelains, which were very valuable, but they were rejected by Zhao Donghuai.
Zhao Donghuai listened to the polite words for a while before interrupting with a smile, "Axing is still floating on the sea? You can call him to come back."
Carina Lau also couldn't help laughing, "It's time to come back. Yesterday, countless fans praised Jim Carrey crazily and criticized Ah Sing, saying that his acting skills were completely inferior and he was not worthy of playing the male lead at all. His version should be banned."
"This has completely angered countless star fans. Even many star fans who have not seen the movie at this stage know that the movie is not a comedy, but a tragedy. There are still a large number of star fans who go to the theater to watch the movie, just to make sense after watching the movie.
Conflict with Jim Carrey fans based on evidence."
"I heard that Jim Carrey had already bought a plane ticket and was anxious to come back and apologize to Star in person and publicly support Star's acting skills. However, Star refused over the phone and asked him to continue traveling in Europe and the United States for promotions."
"The two of them actually have a good relationship, and there is a sense of sympathy for each other."
On November 15th, when the movie was first released, Zhou Xingxing not only went fishing with Simon Yam to relieve his boredom, he also drove a yacht and took his sister out to sea on the same day. He brought sufficient supplies and went to an uninhabited outlying island for vacation and leisure.
In other words, there is a satellite phone that can be contacted, but ordinary mobile phones can't find the signal.
Of course, the following bodyguards and boat crew are also necessary.
In the meantime, people were also arranged to deliver a wave of supplies.
Zhao Donghuai nodded, "His acting skills are not bad, but he is a bit ignored due to the halo of the King of Comedy."
Does Zhou Xingxing have acting skills? No?
This is really a topic that can easily lead to discussion and debate, just like asking whether Cheng Long has acting skills or whether Jet Li has acting skills...
As for him being like this, will it affect the filming? Don't make trouble, that filming has been completed. You know, it was early September, and Wang Jiawei went to Andy Lau to propose the proposal.
It was already November 20th, how could it be possible that the filming was not finished? The whole filming process meant that Zhang Guorong's schedule was difficult to arrange, so he made time to quickly shoot some of Ah Wing's scenes alone, and the rest had already been completed.
In this version, among the male stars, Zhou Xingxing has replaced Ah Wei, among the female stars, Xiao Yingying has replaced Wang Zuxian, and the rest are all from the original version.
It is said that after Ah Wing finished filming the first season at the end of August, he really started his concert tour from September to November.
As for Leung Ka-fai's role, it was during Ka-fai's spare time that he went to the crew to film.
It has only been 4 months since we officially started filming, and we are already in the late stages of filming. However, the special effects requirements for flood control in Dongpo are definitely much higher and more difficult than those for ordinary comedy or gangster films.
After chatting with Jialing for a while, Zhao Donghuai waved and watched the two of them go away amid various expressions of gratitude from the other party.
After Director Zhao sat down again, Qiu Shuzhen came over with a stack of scripts in her hands, "Boss, tsk tsk, this TV series has great ideas and ideas. Take a look, do you want to approve the project?"
Zhao Donghuai was a little surprised, but when he looked at the notebook,
After he hurriedly flipped through it, he put down the notebook with emotion, "What a talent. Let's just leave it on the shelf. Or we can ask the screenwriter to talk to Shao Daheng and see if TVB is short of scripts."
This is really the weird TV series that I remember, starring Zheng Yinjian, a club boss, a homosexual, who drugged Wu Dairong and became obsessed with it.
In later generations, it may be able to generate a huge amount of traffic.
After all, in the 2020s, everyone understood everything, but at the end of 1990, this thing was too far ahead of its time.
The club boss played by A Jian, wearing a small suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and slicked back hair, is really a boss. Especially when he is rejected by others, he always talks coolly.
He said, "You can consider the request I just made, but I want to tell you, no one has ever been able to refuse me."
There are basically no people who refuse him...either into boxes or land reclamation.
This is also a hard line to ask you to climb mountains and fish together.
When A-Zhen grabbed the script and was about to run away, Zhao Donghuai was stunned again and waved, "A-Zhen, wait a minute. I think it's a bit wrong to give this book to Shao Sheng. Contact Murdoch and watch his Fox
Will the TV network film it?"
Azhen, "???"
Director Zhao thought for a while, "That's not right. What do you think of a counter-attack? A female boss, dealing with a female undercover police officer?? This should have good ratings in North America??"
In 1990, you filmed a scene where a female undercover agent comes into contact with the boss of a dynamic group in society. It was a police drama. Isn't this necessarily a failure?
Azhen was stunned for a few seconds, "It seems okay?"
Zhao Donghuai couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, just contact Lao Mo directly to sell the script."
Putting aside Tianruo Youqing's strange angles and outrageous orthopedics, this is a passable anti-crime TV series. The undercover agent's efforts were a bit too great, and his boss suspected him of betrayal and was arrested, but in the end he was mentally ill for several years.
, became a writer.
A bunch of people really can't accept this kind of plot!
Classes 2 and 3 probably won’t be able to accept it either.
………………
New Day, ATV TV Drama Production Center.
When screenwriter Xiao Chen checked in and walked towards the screenwriting department, more than one person greeted Xiao Chen on the street. Many of the greetings contained a strange flavor.
After entering the big office, as soon as Xiao Chen sat down, he saw an elder from the editing and directing team waving to him, "Xiao Chen, come here."
Xiao Chen stood up in a hurry and went to his office under the complicated gaze of a group of colleagues.
After he left, some colleagues immediately started a heated discussion, "I heard that his script was sent to the big boss for review?"
"Isn't that right? The script was too hardcore. We are screenwriters, but we were still shocked after reading it. Several leaders of the writing and directing team couldn't grasp it."
"Is this Xiao Chen stimulated by something? How could he write such a series of outrageous plots?"
"An anti-gangster police drama, in which the male protagonist spends ten years in jail, his wife runs away, one is beaten to death, and the other's anus is covered with bruises. He has been mentally ill for several years, and he becomes a gangster in Hong Kong and can only run around to save money? Is this special?
Isn’t it too exciting?”
"Didn't you see Director Huang's expression when he called Xiao Chen just now??"
…………
The person who greeted Xiao Chen just now is really a veteran, an old-timer. In 1979, he directed Zheng Shaoqiu's version of Chu Liuxiang, and Jean Qiu Guan, Wu Mengda and other seniors who have risen in the film and television industry.
Although Director Huang only served as Wang Tianlin's deputy and one of the assistant directors at that time, at that time Wang Jingdu was only one of the screenwriters.
Since then, Director Huang has certainly not lacked for other works. Xie Laosi's popular "The King of Kings", he is still Wang Tianlin's deputy and one of the assistant directors.
Therefore, everyone who knows knows that since Xiao Chen wrote the script, this guy went from being unknown to becoming famous in the ATV scriptwriting department and began to spread throughout the TV drama production center.
The other screenwriters discussed for a while, and then one person suddenly said to another, "Zai Zai, didn't Xiao Chen treat you to a drink the day before yesterday? Didn't your anus hurt when you woke up?"
Wuzai was furious, "Fuck, you're just a pain in the ass, don't slander people behind their backs like this, Xiao Chen's script was written to be too hard-core for being outside the industry, but in fact she is a normal girl who likes her."
"The main reason is that the screenwriting department is too complicated. Many drama kings and kings' dramas are basically stories produced by the big boss and a few proprietresses. It makes us seem to have no sense of existence, so we change the plot to twist the plot."
All of a sudden the other screenwriters...
That's right, you can't blame Xiao Chen for finding another way? Who said that from the beginning, too many scripts were written by Zhao Sheng, no matter what, who didn't know that Sister Hong was just in name?
Twilight, isn’t that also in name only?
They are the Gunners team!
If the outside world doesn't know, how can the Gunners themselves know?
The crowd was still talking in silence when they saw Director Huang's office. Xiao Chen walked out with a happy face and beaming with joy. As he walked, everyone was floating, as if he had won a lottery jackpot.
At this time, the writing team was also a little confused. They were so shocked that Wuzai stood up in a hurry, "Fuck, Brother Chen, did your script pass? No, can this one pass?"
To be continued...
