Chapter 1424 Same Combination, Different Fate?
It was almost July when Yin Jun returned to Xiangjiang.
"Rain Man" is very important to Yin Jun. He only returned to Hong Kong with confidence after completing the final edited version.
Movies like "Rain Man" are not suitable for the hot summer season. They have to be aired around autumn and winter to make them look interesting.
In fact, the popcorn attribute of the summer season has already been determined.
Unless it's a very outrageous drama movie, I would avoid this schedule.
For example, "Titanic" was released in January, and then began a half-year-long legendary journey.
"Happy Ghost 2" is naturally a popcorn movie, but it is not an action movie, but a comedy that is suitable for any season.
No matter how the form and content of the movie change, its category has basically not changed much.
For example, there have been comedies since the birth of cinema, and they have remained popular for a long time.
Although comedies are not as majestic as special effects blockbusters, nor are they as touching as tragedies, there is no doubt that they have always been the most favorite category among movie fans.
There are times when the special effects movies are great but the plot is terrible.
Not everyone can accept tragedy, especially horror movies.
Only comedy is suitable for men, women, old and young, and has the widest audience.
Whether you say it's for entertainment or to appease people's hearts, people who watch it just like it.
Therefore, no film production company can ignore the production of comedy films.
Looking at the box office in mainland China, except for Wolf Warrior and Operation Red Sea, the top few movies are all comedies.
The Mermaid, Monster Hunt 1 and 2, Detective Chinatown 2, Iron Fist, Kung Fu Yoga, Thailand, etc., all of them have shown investors what is the best-selling movie in China.
The same is true for Hong Kong movies.
Movies by comedy king Chow Sing-chi basically occupy half of the top ten box office seats in Hong Kong.
Even Cheng Long's movies are, to a certain extent, humorous action movies, containing a lot of comedy elements.
When Yin Jun returned to Hong Kong for the first time and reviewed the script in a rental house, he decided that before the film special effects industry in Hong Kong had risen, comedy was one of the most important movies he would make.
The "Happy Ghost" series, as one of the few successful comedy series in Hong Kong, is definitely the right decision to take it out to compete in the Asian film market and also make many female stars famous.
Because the first part of "Happy Ghost" was very successful, when the second part was released, Qilin Movies specially held a premiere.
I originally chose a medium-sized cinema with 800 seats, but I didn't expect that when it was almost time for the premiere, I discovered that the street to the cinema here was completely blocked.
They were all young men and women aged 12-22. They were all wearing official peripheral T-shirts of "Happy Ghost" and holding posters, excitedly waiting for the five heroines to walk on the red carpet.
Yes.
This group of people are fans of the Happy Girls group.
Although the popularity of the Happy Girls group has dropped significantly over the past six months compared to last year, they are still the well-deserved number one idol group in the minds of young people under the age of 24.
Even the superstars of "The King of Flowers" are still not as popular as them among college students and below.
Youth is always invincible.
Fans came to line up since 3 pm and waited for more than 3 hours before they saw the actors arriving by car one after another.
"Happy Ghost" is undoubtedly a very successful movie. Fans of the Happy Girls group also gave warm applause when they saw Zhu Xiucai and a group of male actors.
But the peak of the atmosphere was when an extended version of Rolls-Royce slowly approached.
Through the car window, fans saw the face they wanted to see most.
"ah……"
The screams started quickly, and then spread to the entire crowd. The decibels almost deafened the police who were maintaining order around them.
The car reached the end of the red carpet, and Li Saifeng, who was wearing a red princess dress, walked out first.
With a sweet appearance, she looked around with a smile and waved to everyone, causing another commotion immediately.
Then there are Li Lizhen, Zeng Huaqian, Zhou Haimei...
The last person to come out was Wen Bixia, who was wearing a little black dress and was also the most popular member of the Happy Girls group.
She received the most applause and screams of cheers.
Seeing Wen Bixia being so popular, Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen, who always had smiles on their faces, had a flash of envy in their eyes.
Although the Happy Girls group is a group and everyone has the same honor, there are definitely still comparisons between them.
Among the five, Wen Bixia, Zhou Haimei and Zeng Huaqian are of course a family, because they are all Yin Jun's beloved sisters.
Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen were selected by Yin Jun from a large number of candidates. They were both from civilian backgrounds, so naturally they hugged each other.
The three of them, Wen Bixia, did not show any arrogance towards Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen. On the contrary, they behaved very affectionately and took care of the two women in every possible way.
But this inadvertent sense of superiority and the actual gap still made the two little girls feel a little envious.
A very simple example.
The bonuses for the Happy Girls and the girl group are all equal. After deducting the expenses of the team, marketing, etc., the five of them will be given. We will not give them more just because Wen Bixia and the others are the boss's favorites.
However, Li Lizhen and Li Saifeng's family conditions are not good. All the 7 to 8 million dividends they received in the past year were taken away by their families, leaving only a few hundred thousand yuan for them.
For ordinary girls, a sum of more than 100,000 yuan cannot be described as "very little".
This is equivalent to three to five years of salary for ordinary people.
When the Happy Girls girl group goes out to work, the company is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they don't have much money to spend.
But Li Lizhen and Li Sifeng don't work every day.
They also have their own lives, and they also have to dress nicely to go shopping, buy clothes, and eat with friends!
These all cost money.
Especially when others know that they have become celebrities and earned a lot of money, then they cannot be stingy.
Many times they not only buy expensive things for themselves, but also pay for them when they go out to play with their friends.
In this case, how can money be enough?
If they hadn't secretly told Wen Bixia after the Spring Festival and asked Wen Bixia to explain to the team's manager that extra money was left for them when calculating dividends, they would have been embarrassed.
But on the other hand, Wen Bixia, Zhou Haimei and Zeng Huaqian have never had such troubles.
Zhou Haimei's father is the general manager of Qilin Printing Factory of Qilin Group. His annual salary has already exceeded millions, and the family is not short of money.
Zeng Huaqian's father is one of the leading doctors in Xiangjiang and is not short of money.
So even if they give most of the money they earn to their families, they can still keep millions of dollars with them, and they can be called little rich women.
What's even more exaggerated is that Jun Shao loves them very much and will find someone to buy them beautiful clothes and various things every month. They basically have nothing else to spend money on except eating.
The most powerful one is Wen Bixia.
This little girl who has followed Yin Jun since she was a child, who was the biggest devil back then, has become a super star chasing after Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin.
Not to mention her position as the leader of the Happy Girls group, not to mention her gradually becoming the number one female lead in TV series, just her wonderful performance in "Wind Rescue" established her status.
The global box office of "Escape" has exceeded 400 million US dollars!
Not many movies in Hong Kong can achieve such high box office.
The most important thing is that the person leaning on Wen Bixia is Yin Jun. Even Yin Jun himself said on many public occasions that Wen Bixia is his family and he will not allow anyone to bully her.
In actual actions, Yin Jun also took care of Wen Bixia in this way.
There are rumors outside that Wen Bixia has a credit card with unlimited overdraft, which was given to her by Yin Jun. She only needs to spend money, and Yin Jun will pay any bills.
As members of the group who have been with Wen Bixia day and night, Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen both know that this rumor is true.
Wen Bixia has such an unlimited credit card in her hand. On weekdays, she spends money without looking at the price. Of course, Wen Bixia doesn't buy everything. She is not a woman like Guan Zhilin who spends money like water. On weekdays, Wen Bixia She almost never touches luxuries and boring things that should not be bought.
Therefore, when she heard that Li Lizhen and Li Saifeng didn't have enough money, Wen Bixia took the initiative and asked if she wanted to lend them hundreds of thousands.
Naturally, the two women quickly refused.
It's not that they don't have money, it's just that they are being plundered too much by their families. As long as they can withdraw part of it themselves in advance without letting their families know about it, that's fine.
On the other hand, they are also worried that after borrowing Wen Bixia's money, they will use the money even more. If it exceeds their ability to bear, what will they do in the future?
From this point of view, the characters of Li Lizhen and Li Saifeng are relatively simple, and they are not as complex as they become when they grow up.
However, this does not mean that the two women are not jealous of Wen Bixia.
Fortunately, Zhou Haimei and Zeng Huaqian came from wealthy families.
But what does Wen Bixia have?
She is just a poor person living in Tiu Keng Ling, a poor person among the poor!
But it was because Yin Jun happened to live in a dilapidated house that was also rented by Wen Bixia's mother, so the two met.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Because Yin Jun became prosperous, Wen Bixia became as famous as she is today. Otherwise, how could Wen Bixia be so much better than them?
If only I was the one who met Yin Jun in the first place!
Listening to the screams and cheers in their ears, the two women walked towards the cinema, and an idea that they had thought about for a long time came to mind.
