In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 1034: Over 600 Million in the First Week (14)

There is another ‘wish’, of course, Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Sammo Hung will appear together!

Jackie Chan's "Chinatown" is currently being filmed...their three co-starring...

After that, there will be a "Dragon Restaurant"...

Of course, the important thing right now is "Sunshine".

In fact, the main selling points of "Sunny" are the emotions and some rumors about Zhou Xingchi...

He gives people a very mysterious feeling. Basically, people who have interacted and collaborated with him will always be asked about what kind of person Zhou Xingchi is on the show.

Everyone gives a different answer…

But they are basically ‘difficult to get along with’, ‘selfish’, ‘hungry for money’…

According to Tian Qiwen's words - Tian Qiwen, a veteran who has served Xinghui for thirteen years, is the person most likely to know Stephen Chow.

‘Many old friends and I have fallen out over money issues.

For example, Ng Meng-tat, Luo Jiaying, Huang Yifei, Shaolin Football investor Lin Xiaoming, Xinghui Company investors...at least they will no longer interact with each other, and at worst they will meet in court.

Paranoid.

Everything must be according to his wishes, as the directors who have worked with him say, otherwise there will be all kinds of trouble, and no one will be able to stand it for a long time.

He is a 13-point man who loves to litigate. He spends a lot of time in lawsuits over money disputes, lawsuits with neighbors because of loud noises, lawsuits with the Canadian government over immigration, and lawsuits over random media writings. Various lawsuits. ’

‘You are mean and unkind, how many of the people who came here with him are left? They are either dead or no longer in contact with each other, or even going to court directly. The most direct reason is basically money. Doesn’t this explain the problem? ’

It’s okay if one person talks about Zhou, but if everyone is talking about Zhou, there must be something wrong with that Zhou.

Sammo Hung, Wang Jing, and Brother Lak are all well-known figures in Hong Kong. Are they all talking nonsense?

Especially when Brother La (Patrick Chan) asked, "Do you think Stephen Chow has any friends of the same generation?"

Of course, netizens all have filters...

A saying like 'Geniuses are lonely', 'I only watch his movies and don't need to make friends with him'...

Makes sense!

Anyway, as soon as "Sunny" was released, the discussion about Zhou Xingchi quickly became a hot topic...

Netizens overwhelmingly supported Zhou Xingchi.

"He was given two options, one was a salary of 15 million US dollars, and the other was 5 million US dollars + 15% profit dividend..."

"The cost is quite high, close to HK$500 million...basically the cost is remuneration...and copyright expenses..."

"There are so many friendly appearances, do you think they are all for Zhou Xingchi's sake? They are all made with money!"

"The minimum is HKD 500,000..."

"Copyright expenditure...China Star (Yong Sheng) and Zhou Xingchi basically had a breakup. We offered 50 million before they gave us the copyright..."

"Yes, the copyright is not that expensive, but it is very expensive to use it in Zhou Xingchi's movies. I told Mrs. Xiang that if I can persuade Zhou Xingchi to apologize in person, I don't need to pay and use it for free... It's a pity that I don't have that. Big face!"

"This movie has a box office of less than 1.5 billion, so there is no profit at all. If my boss hadn't wanted to realize his dream, I wouldn't have done this movie at all!"

In Hong Kong, Chung Lifeng and the media who blocked her answered several questions about "The Sun is Strong"...

"Sunshine" also performed well at the Hong Kong box office, with a box office of HK$6.8 million on the first day...

It broke the record for the best first-day box office for a Chinese-language film.

Still no match for the Hollywood blockbuster - "Iron Man 3" broke 10 million Hong Kong dollars on its first day...

However, Zhong Lifang's tone seems not to be optimistic about this movie...

Ugh, she's pretending!

The cost of "The Sun is Ferocious" is indeed quite high, but not to the level of HK$500 million, just over HK$200 million. Why is it so high?

Of course I don’t want to share the profits!

Jiahe will not cooperate with Stephen Chow again...

In a movie, the director is Qiu Litao and the actors are all hired by Jiahe. Why does Zhou Xingchi take 15% of the profit?

Giving him a salary of US$15 million would be great!

"Sunshine" is indeed very powerful, with 190 million on the first day, 217 million on the second day, 202 million on the third day, and the box office exceeded 600 million in the first three days!

Then ‘Stephen Chow’s Diary’ became widely circulated on the Internet…

"One Week's Diary" was probably written around 1992.

The diary records some trivial matters and some thoughts. For example, I heard that Taiwanese film companies have recently joined forces to purchase Hong Kong films in order to lower the prices of Hong Kong films. They have also set a new rule that they will no longer be responsible for their own profits and losses. cooperation, and share responsibilities with Hong Kong film producers. I think it is understandable that Taiwanese film producers have adopted this new rule to protect their interests. If Hong Kong film producers want to find countermeasures, they can only produce more high-quality films, hoping to break out of Asia and discover more new films. market, so there is no need to rely too much on the Taiwan market! ’

‘My comedy image has been recognized by everyone, which is a necessary condition for success as an actor, but I think it is not enough. Because I feel that I often play the same type of roles without much change, just like a trend, it will go out of fashion soon, so I hope to try different types of roles so that the audience knows that I am not just a funny kid. ’

No way, with the popularity of the movie, Zhou Xingchi became a hot figure again.

And the heat doesn’t show any sign of dropping!

Any news related to him has a reading volume of 100,000+...

Self-media and marketing accounts all revolve around traffic. The current hot spot is Zhou Xingchi. It’s normal to get involved...

Shen Xudong ignored these sounds and continued filming "Northeast Sherlock Holmes"...

In fact, Zhao Benshan is at a disadvantage compared to Zhou Xingchi.

The most typical one is the region. After all, Hong Kong films are white moonlight in many people's hearts. Even the shit and pissing jokes are sometimes interpreted as positive meanings, such as postmodern deconstruction. Some people say that although there are third-party things in Zhou's works, But that’s the need for the plot and the need for comedy. Zhou’s work is positive and an inspirational film about a small person’s counterattack...

There is also the language issue. Many vulgar things in Hong Kong-style comedies are sublimated when translated into the Mandarin version, and after the context changes, the feeling is not so strong. In addition, Hong Kong films have strong plots and a very fast pace. It dilutes that discomfort;

Sketch is different, not every time there are obvious and reasonable themes and conflicts, this is a disadvantage...

In fact, viewers who have watched "Ma Dashuai" and "Liu Laogen" will basically not draw vulgar conclusions. After all, there is a main story to support it!

Later, Zhao Benshan left the Spring Festival Gala and proved with facts that he was the king. His works gradually became classics and added a halo. When a celebrity does not come out much, the nostalgia will be greater than the attack, and the halo will gradually increase...
