Chapter 483 Don’t Like It
Chapter 483 Don’t like…
Accompanying Gong Li on the red carpet, both sides of the red carpet were crowded with students, uniformly shouting "Bi Bi"...
Gong Li couldn't help but ask: "Who are they shouting about?"
"Zhou Bichang!" Shen Xudong explained: "The runner-up in last year's "Super Girl"..."
"Is it so popular?"
"Of course, her glasses with the same frame were sold out..."
"…so smart?"
"Well...she participated in a movie that sold more than 10 million at the box office!"
Gong Li nodded: "Then Guo Li's movie will probably be a big hit!"
The box office of more than 10 million was a big figure in 2006!
Gong Li's "Pretty Mom" and "Zhou Yu's Train" back then, the former had a box office of 8 million, and the latter had a box office of 12 million...
"Springfield Flowers Alumni Reunion" starring Zhou Bichang sold 12 million in the mainland and 9 million in Hong Kong...
The Guo Li movie Gong Li refers to is "The 601st Call" directed by Zhang Guoli, with Zhou Bichang, Hu Ge, Zhang Baizhi and Guo Degang...
The producer's positioning from the beginning is pen fans + wire...
Then it failed miserably at the box office!
This is something for later.
"By the way, Brother Fa is here too. Do you want to go and meet him?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "I'm not going..."
Gong Li was confused: "Is there any activity you want to participate in?"
"I'm going to see Sammo Hung..."
Gong Li thought of something and looked in disbelief: "...you don't like Zhou Runfa?"
"Yeah...I don't like him!"
"Why?"
"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. How can there be so many reasons?"
…
Shen Xudong doesn't like Zhou Runfa, for no other reason than he is too pretentious and considers himself an international movie star...
Typical of relying on foreign countries to show self-respect!
Starting salary of $8 million?
In accordance with international regulations…
Why do you follow international rules? Do you have an international market for wool?
Where does he have a market overseas?
Wang Jing publicly said, "In Hollywood, Chow Yun-fat is not the star, Li Lien-lien is." If I want to make a blockbuster movie and enter Hollywood, I will only use Li Lianlian, and I will definitely not use Chow Yun-fat. ’
Of course, Zhou Runfa has a very high status in Hong Kong because he debuted in the wireless training class and is a senior brother!
If the Hong Kong film and television industry were a river and lake, after taking down the Great Wall, Cathay Pacific, and Metro, the leader of the martial arts gang would be Shaw Brothers' Run Run Run Run Shaw, and the other gangs would be Jia Harvest's Ho Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai, New Wave's Wong Pak-ming and Tsui Hark, and Yuen Woo-Ping, who represented the interests of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Masters. Over the years, these parties have had conflicts and criticized each other...
Run Run Shaw thought of a way very early on to cultivate his direct descendants and opened a small teaching... and trained a large number of actors.
The Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actor has given to so many people, but not to Jackie Chan. Wong Qiu-sheng, who gave the human meat barbecued pork buns, will not give it to Jackie Chan either!
However, the president of the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association, established 40 years ago, does not have a background in wireless training courses!
It wasn’t until 2018 that it was given to Louis Koo!
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are interests, there is fighting...
However, there is one good thing about Zhou Runfa. He does not participate in these things - otherwise, depending on his popularity, if he is a little ambitious, he may cause trouble.
…
Sammo Hung really likes Shen Xudong. Mainly, "The Screening Room" objectively evaluates Sammo Hung - the founder of comedy kung fu and fantasy kung fu. He single-handedly helped Golden Harvest fight against Shaw Brothers and New Arts City...
Shen Xudong didn't take the script, but just told him about the script idea of "The Legend of the Bad"...
The script of "The Legend of Evil" can be summed up in one sentence: fighting violence with violence, the gang boss cooperates with the police to hunt down the serial killer.
"Brother Sanmao, what do you think of this idea?"
"Very good...you are capable. I will do whatever you say..."
After Sammo Hung finished filming "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", he admired the screenwriter very much...
Moreover, he is indeed a little resigned to his old age - it is impossible not to accept it.
I didn't introduce it completely. In fact, many marketing accounts promoted Sammo Hung's status, and they didn't write about this paragraph - he suffered losses in more than 20 movies in a row, and once there was no movie to film.
In 1989, Sammo Hung left Golden Harvest and founded Baoxiang, and then lost money on more than a dozen movies in a row - Szeto Cheuk-han (Sammo Hung's queen screenwriter) said, "After leaving Golden Harvest, Sammo Hung directed, participated in, and starred in more than a dozen movies. Only one film, "The Two Heroes", made money...'
"The Big Brother" makes money because of Alan Tam - to be precise, Alan Tam's ability to sell to South Korea.
Previously, "The Supremes" ranked third in the annual viewership in Seoul, South Korea. In addition to Andy Lau's popularity, Alan Tam also followed suit. The starring "The Supremes" also ranked ninth in the annual viewership in Seoul, South Korea. It can be seen that At that time, Korean audiences bought into Alan Tam.
Sammo Hung's own productions, including "The Devil's Foot", "The Dragon Plays with the Phoenix", "The Lover", "No Face", etc., all lost money.
Movies starring or producing, such as "The Streets of Fire", "Ghost Bite", "Sweet Love", "Elf", etc., can't escape the fate of losing money.
Not to mention, from 1992 to 1993, Sammo Hung was working as an outside director or producer on films such as "The Legend of God of War", "Five Lucky Stars Collide with Ghosts", "Painted Skin Yin Yang Dharma King", "One Sword of the City", etc., all of which also suffered huge losses. , "One Knife to Win the City" even made the boss Luo Wei tens of millions in debt, and he went bankrupt in his later years - and he borrowed money from loan sharks!
If you can't be a director, what about being an actor?
In those years, the films he starred in, such as "The Great Fortune", "On the verge of breaking out", "Ghosts Invasion of the Underworld", etc., could not escape the fate of losing money...
Let's put it this way, at that time, many colleagues in the film industry no longer called him "Big Brother" when they saw him, but called him by his nickname "Sanmao".
Who gave him a hand?
Jackie Chan!
I asked him to direct "A Good Man"...
In the late 1990s, almost no one asked Sammo Hung to make Hong Kong films, so he moved to Hollywood for a while. In fact, after filming "A Good Man", he filmed "The Dragon" which received a good response...
Unfortunately, he doesn't like it!
I had no project to find when I returned to Hong Kong, so I had no choice but to come to the Mainland for development. At one time, I could only film TV series, such as "Special Police Flying Dragon", "New Shushan Swordsman", "Stealing the Sky", "Wing Chun"...
Therefore, he is now full of doubts about himself...
Relying on playing the villain, he has broadened his acting career...
But the port sales capacity is still the same, slightly equal to zero.
Therefore, Sammo Hung was very curious: "I have a question. Don't you know what my situation is now?"
Shen Xudong smiled: "Mr. Wrinkle Huai recommends you, and I also think that "One Knife Allure" and "Ajin" are non-war crimes!"
Oh, "Kim" stars Sammo Hung and Michelle Yeoh. During filming, there was a scene where Michelle Yeoh had to be pushed off a bridge. Unexpectedly, Michelle Yeoh was seriously injured...
In addition, the Hong Kong box office of "Ah Jin" did not reach 1 million...
In fact, "One Knife Falling City" and "Ah Jin" are both good movies. Needless to say, "One Knife Falling City" has a lot of golden lines: "Those who have always been worried about the country will be the saddest people throughout the ages." ’, ‘As long as we share the same goals, even if it’s a windy road, the sun will always shine one day. ’
"Ajin" is also good. It tells the story of the struggle of a stunt man, that is, a martial artist. It is much better than the current "Spirit of Dragon Horse"...
"Spirit of Dragon Horse"...I am speechless, paying tribute to Hong Kong martial arts masters...
Relying on the defense, there are three lines in the mess, one is the deep love between people and horses, the other is the reconciliation between father and daughter, and the third is to pay tribute to the spirit of the dragon and tiger martial arts...
To be honest, after watching this movie, I only have one suggestion: edit it and divide it into three movies so that you can cheat three times of money. Anyway, they won’t affect each other even if they are not together!
Shen Xudong then added: "I only have one request. The action design of "The Legend of the Villain" should be more realistic. There is no need for fancy tricks, just a fight between life and death..."
Sammo Hung nodded: "What you want to do is a drama film, not an action film..."
"Yes, that's what it means."
"Where are the actors? Who are you going to find?"
