Chapter 444 Find a blockbuster kung fu movie as soon as possible to wash away your confidence(1/3)
In April, movie theaters across East and Southeast Asia were still bombarded by the Young and Dangerous series. Young and Dangerous 2 was released on the 18th and had already earned a total box office of over 400 million Hong Kong dollars in East and Southeast Asia.
In North America, the first and second films released together took in US$27 million, the second US$31 million, the first Europa movie US$18 million, and the second US$21 million.
The world is just at the beginning of drawings, Young and Dangerous 3 is here! The scheduled date is April 22, which is also Earth Day specially set up for world environmental protection.
Not to mention the audience's reaction to these, the Hong Kong film and television industry is in a state of shock. We have never seen a sequel filmed so quickly, and the standard of a series of movies is still very good in terms of reputation and box office.
A group of main creators, especially Liu Weiqiang, were so weak when accepting red envelopes. After all, it was the series of movies he produced and the brilliant global box office that greatly boosted the total market value of 100 Years Pictures to exceed 40 billion Hong Kong dollars.
.
The first East Asia and Southeast Asia box office was more than HK$400 million, and Europe and the United States calculated HK$351 million. If the revenue from subsequent video tapes and VCD discs is as strong, how much profit will this one make? With the box office and disc sales, the total revenue will be HK$1.56 billion!
Or more, because this movie was not released in mainland theaters, but a vcd disc was produced in the mainland and the disc was a big seller!
The second part, which achieved similar results, also generated huge profits from a batch of videotapes and discs.
The third part is still like this??
When the third part was released on April 22, the viewing craze was still as strong as ever, and the first weekend data was almost stronger than the first part.
This trilogy alone has almost brought a growth rate of about HK$5 billion to 100 Years Pictures!
In the Mainland market, because the trilogy successively named Chen Haonan as a police undercover, the craze caused by the original track of the big movie disc did not break out at all. On the other hand, European and American audiences...
I heard that after watching Young and Dangerous, the trend of zero-dollar shopping became a big trend.
In the third movie, Zhang Yaoyang's famous scene of Brother Crow overturning a table once again made the global film industry see the arrogance of this villain.
Moreover, with ample production costs, the auctions held in Hongxing are not just a shabby room for small talk, but a low-key scene with a group of people sitting at a table and only one dish. It is an authentic lobby of Yong Kee Hotel, with one table
The delicacies of the mountains and seas and the fine wine were thrown off the table by Brother Crow.
A Yangdu has become a star of action by playing villains many times and has become a "ruthless example" that everyone is afraid of. He danced and killed the little stutter played by Li Zi, which once made countless movie fans cry after watching it.
Zhang Yaoyang's Crow Brother killed Hong Xing and Jiang Tiansheng, framed Chen Haonan, killed Xiao Stutter, and killed Dong Xing's leader Luo Tuo. A series of brutal achievements have left many viewers with a psychological shadow on him.
So at the end, Da Tianer, played by Wu Jing, caught up with Brother Crow who had escaped and killed him by force in a wonderful fighting action.
Ah Jing's popularity now almost eclipses that of top idols like F4 when he goes out on the streets. He is sincerely loyal to his brothers. He can protect his brothers from bullets and stab at both sides. Their relationship has never been messed up since they were childhood sweethearts.
Come, and Zhang Wenyan also show off their sweet dog food on the big screen.
He is also super good at fighting!
In every crisis, Wu Jing's character is at the forefront. In this version, Crow shoots Little Stutter, and when Chen Haonan goes to a meeting alone and is almost killed, Pheasant and Wu Jing rush in to save people.
Pheasant held a grenade and threatened to self-destruct under the crow villain gunmen group, while Datianer wore a vest bomb.
One is less afraid of death than the other.
Even Wu Yijiang, who plays Da Fei, finally has the most representative role in the film industry. His brother Da Fei is also very popular now that he has stepped out.
Not only was he Da Fei willing to support Brother Nan when Chen Haonan was framed, he was also the eldest brother of Zhang Wenxi and the brother-in-law of Da Tian Er played by Wu Jing.
This series has become popular among a large group of people, and many practitioners have benefited from it.
The other biggest beneficiary is the comic book author. The crazy sales of the movie drove the original comic book to sell more than 10,000 copies, all the way to hundreds of thousands and 200,000 copies. Then countless movie fans screamed in tears after reading the original work.
Three Views.
The characters in the comics are not the Young and Dangerous boys they thought they were at all!
On April 26, in Shek Kip Mei Garden Phase 3, Wu Jing went out and saw A Wu running laps in the community, just ten meters away from the side of the building where he was.
A Jing immediately greeted with a smile, "Brother Wu, with your firepower, you should buy yourself a bigger house and get a treadmill."
Jincheng Wu Pingping waved, "Why don't you come for a few laps?"
Wu Jing smiled and started running, "That's okay. By the way, the director said to take a break and slow down the pace. There is no rush to make the fourth movie. What type of movie are you planning to take on in the next one? You acted in three movies in one go. We are
Isn’t it time to change your image?”
In the first film, they were still paid 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, and afterwards they received a red envelope of 1 million Hong Kong dollars. In the second film, their salary increased to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and they each received a red envelope of 2 million Hong Kong dollars afterwards. In the third film, they were still paid 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. After all, they were all internal prices.
Superstars like Hua Zai and Zhang Guorong only receive about 2 million for internal films.
However, the performance of the third part in the first weekend was much stronger than that of the first and second parts, and the million-level bonus is definitely not far away.
People feel refreshed when happy events occur.
Wu Jing discovered that he could buy a house directly in the strongest area of Hong Kong Island. What was lying in his bank account now was not more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
But nearly ten million!
From the release of the first part in early February to the end of April now, he has earned four to five million in sales revenue in two months, just like the big brothers of Tsim Sha Tsui Ax Jun and 14 Dui Chen Huimin after the release of New World 1
, if you want to bring wine to your own place, or directly buy Afa strong beer, you will get one million cans, and one million cans is 100,000 dividends.
That was still 1983!
In terms of product delivery at the current stage, the products promoted by popular celebrities are directly sold through Wanjia's channels to Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea, which are large markets with a total population of more than 200 million.
You are so popular that it is very common for a movie to drive tens of millions of product sales in one or two months, and even into millions.
As for Jin Chengwu? He earns more from selling goods. After all, Chen Haonan is the male lead. Another reason is that Wu's appearance... has more advantages.
Also, because of his identity, he is an island national and can speak Japanese. Even if Ah Wu’s Japanese is not as proficient as Mandarin, this is a huge appeal to the island market.
Jin Chengwu explained as he ran, "The gangster Wang Jiawei said that the role he finally gave me in (The Grandmaster) was a minor role. Within a few minutes of his appearance, I wanted to beat him."
"It's a pity that if you want to hit him, you have to queue up."
"But we are not at a loss. If we hadn't been deceived by Wang Jiawei, how could Mr. Xing and Director Wang continue to recommend us as male protagonists?"
Who still doesn’t know that in the Young and Dangerous series, it was Wang Jing who mentioned his and Wu Jing’s names before it was their turn to film?
"The Grandmaster can't be filmed, but at this stage, there are many people handing me scripts. I'm confused and don't know how to choose. The Young and Dangerous series has made us so successful, so we can't just accept bad movies."
His current income is more than enough to buy a motorcycle. He can easily buy a big villa.
While they were talking and laughing, Jincheng Wu's bb phone buzzed. When he picked it up and looked at it, he asked curiously, "Wu Yusen asked me out? Hey, that Director Wu..."
That Director Wu is also one of the deceivers, and he actually has a new move?
Continuing in the Young and Dangerous series, Ah Wu really didn’t know that Wu Yusen was preparing to shoot a new blockbuster (Li Mei! Li Mei!).
Wu Jinggang wanted to say something, and the BB player on his waist also rang. After he watched it, he said excitedly, "Dr. Chen, the godmother of idol dramas, arranged for the staff to call me to the ATV headquarters at two o'clock in the afternoon? I can try to leave with this face.
f4, the path of those great idols Liu Yijun or Xie Junhao?"
While he was still sighing, he discovered that Awu had also received a new page, "I will also go to the ATV headquarters in the afternoon. It seems that the two of us will continue to cooperate."
Of course they don't know that the script for the TV series (Prison Break) has been out for a long time and is just waiting for their schedule.
It was still early now, it was still around eight o'clock in the morning, so the two of them were not in a hurry and continued running until...
Wu Yusen came to the community to kill.
Lao Wu took Ah Wei and took the initiative to bring water and towels to Jin Chengwu and Wu Jing. He looked very warm and sincere, "Ah Wu, my new movie (Li Mei! Li Mei!) has already attracted big investors.
, we have also negotiated many roles.”
"Because we will go to the island country for filming and production, we need a large number of island country actors. I wonder if you would like to collaborate with me once?"
After he sent Jin Chengwu a bb buckle, he waited for half an hour for a reply, so he knew that at this stage, Ah Wu probably didn't pay much attention to him.
It doesn't matter, Wu Yusen is really shaking!
Ever since he got a film contract with Nicolas Cage through Jack Marara and Cage's intention to join, he didn't even fly to Hollywood, and I don't know how the news spread. Chairman Lee of South Korea's Samsung Group suddenly became very interested in this project!
Is Samsung short of money? At least at this stage, Samsung has a huge amount of wealth.
Is Samsung Group interested in (Li Mei! Li Mei!) a big war drama in which Tokyo is burned down and nearly a hundred cities across the island nation are burned? An investment of one to two hundred million Hong Kong dollars is not a big problem.
With Nicolas Cage's film contract, Robert Downey Jr. also plans to join, Samsung Lee provided an investment of 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and Wu Yusen flew to Hollywood again...
It’s not possible without flying. If you want to build a studio in Tokyo during the wooden house era in the island country and screen a large number of actors from the island country, you must either have the support of Zhao Donghuai or the support of Hollywood in order to go smoothly.
And, applying for B-29 and other big bombs to force them to fight??
With the support of Hollywood, it is easier to persuade the white soldiers of the island country to help you do big things.
With a series of fairly good and highly successful previous films as a foundation, high-quality actor contracts, and strong support from Samsung, Wu Yusen successfully obtained the support of Columbia Pictures.
At this stage (Li Mei! Li Mei!), the total investment in this movie is already 400 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 51 million U.S. dollars. It is also a big production in Hollywood.
For example, Spielberg's (Schindler's List) is also being filmed this year, and it is said that the investment is only over 20 million US dollars.
But everyone understands that Columbia is currently being bought by Sony. In fact, the people who control Columbia are white Hollywood practitioners. Those white producers are super interested in the project of burning Tokyo? With Sony’s beauty
Does the knife support him, Old Wu?
It's a bit strange and weird when you think about it.
But that doesn’t stop Lao Wu from shaking!!
Let Nicholas be the example of the North American soldiers who bombed Tokyo, and Robert Downey Jr. will play Li Mei... Jack Ma's emperor of the earth, who escaped in embarrassment when the palace burned down.
It also needs a big star to play, such as the defeated dog who watched his wife and daughter being burned to death? He feels that given Ah Wu's current popularity in the island country, it is not bad to play an island officer and a defeated dog soldier in the incendiary war.
of.
Lao Wu talked endlessly about his script and the setting for Ah Wu, "You are one of the male protagonists. At first, you blindly followed the emperor's call to go to the battlefield, invaded China, caused countless murders, and created countless crimes.
To be continued...
