Chapter 1390 Box Office Slap!

There is no doubt that early the next morning, all the media in Hong Kong were discussing "The Raid".

"There is no plot or connotation, but it's a great game! If you only want sensory stimulation, then I recommend you to watch "The Raid"." - "Ming Pao" Entertainment Edition.

"This is the best kung fu movie I have seen this year. In the final battle between Yuan Biao, Fu Sheng and Zhou Bili, I didn't even dare to breathe and move too much for fear of missing a detail!" - Cai Lan, a famous critic.

"Master Jun's action is indeed extraordinary! Yuan Biao also used his own performance to prove that Master Jun's ability to recognize people is definitely the best in the world!" - "Qilin Daily" entertainment review.

"Tsk, tsk, the mysterious Kowloon Walled City, the mysterious Da Du Xiao, the miserable assault team, the sturdy Yuan Biao... I give this movie 99 points! If you don't watch it once or twice, you will be sorry for their efforts! ” - Entertainment Editor-in-Chief of "Pear News".

"I came here to buy tickets again this morning. After I went back last night, all I could think about was the fighting in "The Raid". It was so enjoyable and so beautiful!" - A movie fan interviewed.

"..."

In the hearts of Chinese movie fans, kung fu movies are actually on a higher level than gun fight movies.

You can see this from the status of Xu Ke and Wu Yusen.

Wu Yusenrao is a great director at the international level, but in the hearts of movie fans in Hong Kong and all over China, he is not as good as Xu Ke.

The martial arts spirit and gorgeous Kung Fu in Xuke's movies are all memorable for people.

As for Wu Yusen's gun battle movie, I just watched it. It was very enjoyable at the time, but I definitely won't watch it again and again in the future.

Yuan Biao's fighting and killing movie, which has no irritation throughout, just captured the hearts of the audience.

Before this, there had never been a movie that had no nonsense at all, no love or hatred, no plot between men and women, it was just a fight from beginning to end.

Although there are some people who are not used to this kind of tense style of movies, more people in Hong Kong like it very much.

Not only people in Hong Kong, but "The Raid", which was screened across Asia, received almost the same praise across Asia.

At the box office, this naturally showed up.

"The Raid" grossed HK$120 million at the box office across Asia in its first weekend, causing a sensation in the Asian film market.

This is even more popular than Cheng Long’s movie!

As a result, Yuan Biao rose again and became a kung fu superstar in the hearts of the audience.

From being unpopular to suddenly becoming famous overnight, Yuan Biao's mood was ups and downs, and he almost lost his temper.

During the interview, he only smiled stupidly and thanked his senior brother and Junshao. He was not at all as resolute, courageous and domineering as shown in the movie.

Hong Jinbao was equally surprised.

He knew that Yin Jun's script would definitely make money, but in order to reduce risks and win over his partners, he only invested one-third, leaving the remaining one-third to Qilin Film and Jiahe Film.

Unexpectedly, the box office of "The Raid", just like its plot, exploded as soon as it came out, and it was such an astonishing explosion.

120 million Hong Kong dollars in three days! ?

After the entire six-week run across Asia, could it have been reduced by 400 million?

The overall filming cost of "The Raid", including Yin Jun's script, was only HK$30 million.

Xuanfa plus 20 million, that is to say, basically the first three days have been close to the return of capital.

With a box office of 400 million Hong Kong dollars and a share of 1.2, it can earn at least 50 million.

This does not include the buyout of European and American copyrights.

A movie can easily make a profit of HK$100 million.

He, Hong Jinbao, can get 30 million by himself.

Nowadays, the better villas in Xiangjiang only cost a few million. 30 million is enough to buy a large high-end villa in traditional luxury areas such as Mid-Levels, Jardine's Lookout, and Deep Water Bay.

If Hong Jinbao had been more courageous, owned half of it himself and divided the remaining half between the two companies, he would have earned at least 20 million more.

Thinking that 20 million would fly away like this, Hong Jinbao unconsciously beat his chest.

He sighed not only for the first one, but also for the next few sequels. Baohe Company could not change the investment sharing ratio - what? When you make money, you turn your back on others? Do you think our two major companies are beggars?

In order not to offend anyone, Hung Kam-bao could only insist on this method of equally dividing the investment among the three companies until the end of "The Raid".

However, the only consolation for Hung Kam-po is that with the strong distribution network of Kirin Films and Golden Harvest Films, the success of "The Raid" is guaranteed. Otherwise, even if it is sold, he will not get much money.

Hong Jinbao is happy here, and Jiahe is equally happy.

Zou Wenhuai also specially invited Yin Jun to have morning tea.

While eating, Zou Wenhuai asked Yin Jun a question.

"Master Jun, can this young man Yuan Biao really become the second Hong Jinbao and the second Cheng Long?"

"Can."

Yin Jun thought for a while and replied.

"Why?" Zou Wenhuai continued to ask, "His appearance is even worse than that of Cheng Long, and his facial expression is much worse than that of Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao. Will such an actor be fixed in a specific role? So you can’t get out?”

Zou Wenhuai's question was to the point.

Future stars are easily bound by one role, thus limiting their development.

Take the famous Li Lianjie as an example.

If it weren't for his own strong desire to express himself, I'm afraid he would have appeared in the image of Huang Feihong his whole life.

"The Bodyguard of China", "Fist of Heroes", "Letter to Dad", "Black Knight"... Although these movies have the same style, but they are expressed with different characters, they are the ones that completely established Jet Li's world. Guarantee of status.

Cheng Long has this problem.

Every one of his movies seems to have some influence from Chan Ka Kui.

However, Cheng Long's movies also have areas of improvement, and that is the form of fighting, shooting expressions, and Cheng Long's ability to create plots that keep pace with the times. This has made Cheng Long step by step become a world-class action superstar.

Yuan Biao's problems in this area were even more serious in his previous life.

It was a little better when he was young, but after he reached the age of 30, Yuan Biao completely became a facial paralysis and could not support the main body of a movie at all.

In addition, in those years, Xiangjiang's golden age has dissipated. It is normal for actors like Yuan Biao, who are not first-line superstars, to find many movies to act in.

Moreover, Yuan Biao's own martial arts coaching ability was very strong, so he gradually turned behind the scenes, thus fading out of the front line of acting.

The reason is that Yuan Biao has never really taken charge of his own affairs, and no one has designed a path specifically for him.

The movies he usually stars in are either invested by Cheng Long or Hung Kam-bao, or Golden Harvest makes one or two movies for him because of his popularity.

That's all.

If someone was willing to cultivate Yuan Biao from the beginning and set a development path suitable for his characteristics, Yuan Biao would not dare to say that he surpassed Cheng Long, but he could at least be on par with Hong Jinbao.

What Yin Jun has to do now is to train him to be at least the second Hong Jinbao.

Whether he can become the second Cheng Long or the second Jet Li depends on Yuan Biao's hard work and luck.

After passing his thoughts, the young man said, "Appearance has never been a disadvantage in making movies. As long as his face is highly recognizable and has his own characteristics, plus a few good scripts, he can become popular. ... Yuan Biao's His attitude is serious enough and he is willing to fight hard. I think giving him more opportunities is also an interesting attempt. For example, this time, won't it be successful?"

Zou Wenhuai savored Yin Jun's words and smiled after a moment, "Are you reminding me that I can open a studio for Yuan Biao?"

"Wait a minute." Yin Jun said thoughtfully, "At least until his second film "The Raid" is finished. When Yuan Biao becomes more famous and more capable, Brother Sanmao will have to let go. Otherwise, the two of them will have a conflict and it will be difficult for both of them."

Zou Wenhuai tilted his head slightly.

Everyone knows Hong Jinbao's problems, he is greedy for money and a bit stingy.

If Yuan Biao flies away immediately after his wings harden, Hong Jinbao will definitely be unhappy. If the two brothers quarrel like this, it will be a trouble no matter what.

But if the movie starring Yuen Biao has a higher box office than Hung Kam-bao, and is more famous in other places than Hung Kam-bao, then it will make no sense for Hung Kam-bao to forcefully retain people, and everyone will accuse him of being too greedy and selfish.

At that point, he couldn't even hold on hard.

"Speaking of which, Brother Sanmao has been concentrating on his own company in the past two years. All his hard work and filming ability have been wasted." Yin Jun suddenly said at this time, "Uncle Huai, are you interested in our three companies working together again?" Cooperate once?"

"How to cooperate?" Zou Wenhuai perked up.

"Qilin Films produces the script and ideas, and I, you, and Brother Sanmao invest in it. The starring role is Brother Sanmao and a group of people, and the director is still left to him." Yin Jun said, "The overall model is the same as "The Raid" .”

"What type of movie? Or is it this sharp and dark style?"

"No, a comedy kung fu movie."

"Anything going on?"

"have!"

"Then do it!"

Zou Wenhuai made a decision immediately without saying a word.

He didn't even have to think about it.

As long as Yin Jun said there is a clue, then this movie must have a clue.

Jiahe's current momentum is completely inferior to that of his previous life, so he doesn't expect to dominate at all. As long as he can participate in investment and participate in the production of the movie, it will be a victory.

Both Zou Wenhuai and Hong Jinbao understood that Yin Jun was the most empathetic person.

If this movie can make money, Yin Jun will definitely not abandon his partners and make the sequel himself.

The sequel will definitely be made together by everyone.

In this way, making money after two or three movies is one thing, but it will also greatly improve the development of fame and prestige!
