Chapter 882 Brother Monkey!

The movie in Hong Kong during this period, after the rapid box office growth of "Dragon Tiger Boys" slowed down, must be "Red Zone", which was released on the 22nd.

"Red Zone" was first released in the United States.

After achieving great results, the North American branch of Kirin Group introduced it to Europe and South America.

In addition to Asia, the home base of Xiangjiang movies, the remaining places are basically released on the same day.

In the first three days of its release, "Red Zone" grossed 7.2 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong. Poor "The Dragon and the Tigers" did not even take the top spot at the local box office in its first week this year, but was replaced by "Red Zone". District" was driven down.

Last year, the box office of "Police Academy" in its first weekend was 7.4 million. In terms of actual results, "Red Zone" is actually the first weekend champion of Hong Kong movies.

Of course, "Red Zone" also has an advantage, that is, the current ticket price has increased a lot compared to last year.

In recent years, ticket prices have been rising year by year, from more than 5 yuan in 1978 to more than 10 yuan now, which is almost a doubling of the price.

For people in the film industry, this is naturally something worth celebrating.

"Red Zone" was a hit at the box office in Hong Kong. It was also a hit in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand and other places. The total box office in the first weekend successfully exceeded 12 million US dollars. Europe was slightly worse. But there are also more than 7 million US dollars.

The share sharing agreements signed by Jiahe's "Red Zone" vary according to different regions of the country.

In the Asian market, Golden Harvest is relatively strong, so it can get about 38% of the box office share. However, in Europe, it is handed over to Kirin Films to help distribute, and in the end it can only get 30% of the box office share.

According to this trend, Jiahe may finally obtain a net profit of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!

Thinking that after last year's "Police School" was a hit and made a lot of money, Jiahe's movie will be a hit, which will definitely make Jiahe's valuation continue to appreciate, and even get better and better in the future. Shareholders who sold Jiahe's shares before You guys, I really regret it.

But now that Zou Wenhuai and the others had gritted their teeth and borrowed Yin Jun's money to buy the shares, it was naturally impossible to sell them to them again, even if they added money.

When I was in trouble, you left me. Now that I am prosperous, you want to come back.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

For the Kirin Group, whether it is Kirin Daily, Kirin TV, or Kirin Film Company, the award for "Prison" won the award. It will be a matter of several days of hype.

For Yin Jun, that's the same thing.

Even if you win an Oscar, if your overall film industry and development cannot improve, won't it still be a failure?

So in the past two days, after the second version of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" was cut out, Yin Jun went to discuss it with Zhang Yaozong, Huang Yuehuang, and Yuan Kui for a long time.

How to control the rhythm, how to control the length of time, how to control the image, how to make the special effects more attractive...

Although Yin Jun has participated in these problems for the third time, and it is the same movie, he has found that every time he watches it now, he can notice its shortcomings.

Well, these shortcomings are what Yin Jun feels.

In fact, Zhang Yaozong and others feel that "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is already good enough.

But now they all know that Jun Shao is a person with perfect obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is impossible to accept "making do", so they can only accompany Yin Jun to edit and produce.

Yin Jun will not spend time in the editing and post-production room every day. There are more and more things happening in the Qilin Group. Even though Le Yiling takes care of most of the things, some things still require Yin Jun to make decisions and sign.

Although Le Yiling regarded Yin Jun as a family member, and Yin Jun regarded her as a sister, sister Le Yiling knew what was right, and she would never touch some of Yin Jun's exclusive rights.

Today, Yin Jun was not in the office, but went directly to the Lee Garden Hotel.

The Lee Garden Hotel was the place they rented when the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe came to perform in Hong Kong last time.

Today, the 1981 Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe’s Xiangjiang performance team arrived in Xiangjiang again and chose to stay here.

This arrival was already agreed upon last year, and Yin Jun was still responsible for their expenses in Xiangjiang.

It's not that Yin Jun is willing to spoil them. Firstly, Wei Xiaofan's face is important. Secondly, and more importantly, Yin Jun hopes to strengthen the connection between the mainland and Xiangjiang through them.

When two places share common interests and engage in constant cultural exchanges, they will definitely not become alienated.

Not only Kun Opera and Peking Opera, but also movies and TV series from the Mainland, Yin Jun hopes to introduce them to Xiangjiang if they are suitable.

However, the explosion of mainland movies and TV series will have to wait until after 2000. To be precise, it should be after "Huan Zhuge Ge"... Well, it seems that it cannot be counted as mainland. The real mainland TV series dominates the screen. Let’s start with “Palace”.

This time the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe came in more numbers and neatly, with a total of 154 people arriving.

There are a total of 5 crews here, and 15 plays have been prepared. In addition to some actors who can wander around, there are 14 main actors. It can be said that they are all elites.

It can be seen that the last success made them more confident, so they prepared for a full 30 days of performances.

These performances are not only on the Lee Stage, there are also two other large theaters with about 1,200 seats. We have reached an agreement with them to perform every night.

Five crews and 15 plays perform in rotation, which will definitely make Hong Kong theater fans thoroughly entertained.

The last time Jiangnan Kunqu Opera came here, many theater fans who originally liked Peking Opera, Henan Opera, and Cantonese Opera couldn't help but go to see it.

Although theater fans have fixed appreciation categories, it does not mean that they cannot appreciate the beauty of other operas.

The Kun Opera performed by the Jiangnan Kun Opera Troupe is one of the oldest operas in China, and it performs the most familiar Kun Opera repertoire. Of course, you will fall in love with it after watching it twice.

The new year's performances starting in June were promoted in various theaters in Hong Kong as early as April.

This year's performances are all repertoire that was not performed last year. Coupled with last year's good reputation, theater fans in Xiangjiang are rushing to tell each other and are looking forward to it.

It should be said that in 1981, in addition to more and more movie fans, there were still many opera fans in Xiangjiang.

After all, people aged 40 to 60 today grew up watching dramas during their childhood and youth, when movies and television were not very popular, and there were not many programs.

This habit has been maintained, and there are so many theaters in Xiangjiang that it is no problem for each theater troupe to support their families.

Although the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Theater is an outsider, they have only been in Xiangjiang for a month, and a group of old people are still visiting and receiving gifts. Many people are still familiar with them, so it is naturally difficult to cause trouble because of their politeness.

What's more, after the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe was so popular, after they left last year, the business of each troupe has improved by more than 30%, which is a good promotion.

So when the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe arrived for the second time, the troupe here took the initiative to pick them up.

This time when the Jiangnan Kunqu Opera Troupe arrived, Tian Jiachun was still in charge of the overall reception. Yin Jun was busy with company and movie matters, so he did not go to the airport, but chose to go to the Lee Garden Hotel where they were staying.

He Qin and Tao Huimin called in advance. They would come to perform for about half a month and brought Yin Jun a small gift.

Both girls are the type of little brats, but Yin Jun also likes their hard work and serious spirit. In addition, they have the impression of two beautiful female celebrities in their previous lives. Naturally, they are in harmony with each other. They get closer.

Entering through the back door, Yin Jun first said hello to Gao Hong, who was leading the team. She quickly said sorry to the people next to her, and pulled He Qin and Tao Huimin who were standing beside her to Yin Jun's place.

Some middle-aged people who had talked to Gao Hong before looked at Yin Jun with extremely fiery eyes.

It would be great if we could ingratiate ourselves with such a rich man as the dignified chairman of the Kirin Group, with a net worth of HK$4 billion!

He Qin and Tao Huimin had lived here before, so it was no big deal to drag Yin Jun into the lounge next to them. But when the door was closed, Yin Jun accidentally glanced and saw a very, very familiar figure.

"Brother Monkey!?"

The boy blurted out.

With Yin Jun's current status and government, he couldn't control himself and shouted directly. From this, we can know how surprised and excited he was.

In Chinese opera, film and television, countless actors have played the role of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West over hundreds of years.

But only that one person has been recognized by fans all over China and even around the world.

He is Liu Xiaolingtong.

The actor who plays Sun Wukong in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".

Since he played the role of Sun Wukong, he has become Sun Wukong and has never changed in his life.

In Yin Jun's era, there would be a rebroadcast of "Journey to the West" every summer vacation, and every time, Yin Jun and his friends would watch it with gusto, regardless of whether they had already watched it last year or the year before.

Even in 2020, when Yin Jun Encounter was aired during the holidays, I could still sit and watch the last episode without getting bored at all.

In the eyes of most Chinese people, only he is Sun Wukong and can represent Sun Wukong. The rest, regardless of who you act, are all in vain!

The same is true for Yin Jun. He feels that after watching Liu Xiaolingtong's version, he will not be able to watch any other "Journey to the West". If "The Return of the Great Sage" had not been an animated version, he would definitely not have gone to the cinema to support it.

Because in his mind, all the other people playing Sun Wukong are fake!

There are definitely not a few people who think like Yin Jun.

This is the power of classics.

This is the power of super drama.

This is also the charm of Brother Monkey!
