Chapter 956 Current Situation (13)

There are five main parts of the "Best Partner" series, the first "Best Partner", the second "Best Partner Shows Their Magical Powers", the third "Best Partner Queen's Secret Order", the fourth "Best Partner" The box office of "Best Partner: Saving the Chapo from a Thousand Miles Away" and the fifth film "The New Best Partner" each exceeded HK$20 million.

Including "The New Best Partner" which has a very bad reputation...

"New Best Partner" is actually "Best Partner Terracotta Warriors and Horses". The word "new" is mainly reflected in the addition of the Snitch siblings played by Li Zhi and Leslie Cheung. They are the new Best Partner.

This is undoubtedly another subversion of the basic setting of the series of films!

At that time, Li Zhi and Leslie Cheung were very popular. Injecting such heavy new blood into the film, the producers obviously hoped to bring them back to life.

It's a pity that the action-comedy model of thieves and thieves is no longer popular...

The fifth part is over, and "Best Partner" is also over!

Then in 1997, Huang Baiming tried to restart, and recruited Tony Leung + Alan Tam, as well as Liti Chung, to film a movie "The Best Partner: Drunk Street Partner"...

In 1997, Hong Kong films were already in decline...

And... "The Street Partners" was released on June 21, and "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was released on June 26. The latter earned nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office...

Such an opponent in the same period is dead!

The final box office was HK$10.74 million, which completely killed this series.

Is there any learning value?

"Drunk Street Partner" is a very typical Hong Kong movie: a bad movie made with a professional attitude.

It has all the elements: comedy, customization, love and even gangster vendetta - creating a fairly famous villain Lei Yuyang (played by Wu Zhenyu), with the classic line: "I haven't told you the purpose of my visit this time. I The purpose of coming here is to kill everyone."

There is no reference value...

If we have to talk about borrowing, the script of "The Best Partner" borrowed from "The Treasure Hunt" and "Ocean's Eleven"...

Well, it’s a gang-robber-and-treasure-hunting type of movie!

Gang robbery is a specialized sub-genre in Hollywood. Basically, without exception, this genre is all about visual effects blockbusters + handsome men and beautiful celebrities, piling money into it, and then earning more money.

Although the starring roles are Huang Zihua + Guo Jinan, they are more of a tandem...

The first one is called "Eye-Opening"...

They found a bunch of old guys to work together and then divided the spoils unevenly. In the end, Huang Zihua and Guo Jinan got the advantage in vain...

The screenwriters are Zhong Wei, Liang Lemin, and Lu Jianqing.

Zhong Wei has a good grasp of genre films. "The Lost Bullet" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are all his works...

The reason why Liang Lemin and Lu Jianqing were added is mainly because they are directors and are responsible for controlling the general direction...

Huang Baiming was originally planning to get involved. After reading the script, he named himself a planner.

He really can't blend in - his current understanding of the script is still in the last century...

Moreover, he recently collaborated with Huayi...

…

It was in a nightclub…

I really admire Huang Baiming. Even though he is old, he still goes to nightclubs every day...

There were two or three beauties sitting next to me...

Seeing Shen Xudong, he stood up happily: "Let's go, Shi Nansheng is waiting for us in the hotel!"

Fortunately, he still remembers Shi Nansheng...

The girls left with a wink and did not follow them...

In the car, Huang Baiming talked about "The Loyal Yang Family General" - it is confirmed to be released on April 4th...

""Loyal Yang Family General"...I didn't see any promotion?"

"Brother Huayi broke up with us..."

"Why?"

"We collaborated on several dramas but didn't make any money..."

Shen Xudong chuckled; "I heard that you are very close to Jie Shi?"

Huang Baiming did not deny it: "The money given by Jie Shi is a lot!"

After joining the company, it began to recruit people. Huang Baiming was the first to join - "Eight Stars", "Hundred Stars Hotel", "Luk Fook", "Anti-Corruption Storm" and "Bounty Hunter" were all produced by the company. Paying for it, Huang Baiming produced...

There are losses and gains.

He and the Huayi brothers had previously signed five drama contracts. The first one, "Happy Magic," was a total loss, and the second one, "The General of the Loyal Yang Family," Huayi no longer wanted to spend huge sums of money on promotions.

Huayi invested 30 million in this play...

We won't talk about the follow-up film schedule, but only 15% of the films were scheduled on the first day. Huayi really let it fend for itself - there were not many theater posters and trailers.

The publicity is weak, and there are not many posters in the theater. It’s okay to say that the audience decides to schedule the film. If you work hard to grab the film at the beginning, but the audience doesn’t buy it later, just reduce it. There is nothing to say, but this has changed from the beginning. I didn’t work hard in the first place!

However, Shen Xudong probably knows the reason: ""The Female Generals of the Yang Family" is so deceptive, it directly affects the reputation of the Yang Family Generals!"

Huang Baiming also knew the reputation of "The Female General of the Yang Family" and sighed: "...Alas!"

Bona spent huge sums of money on the promotion of "The Female Generals of the Yang Family", and then lost money - it is estimated that he did not even earn the publicity funds.

The impact of this thing on similar themes is also immeasurable.

…

Shi Nansheng is the vice president of Jiahe, and Zhong Lifang recruited him to be responsible for the "Best Partner", "Five Lucky Stars", "Once Upon a Time" and "The Instructor" series...

She divorced Xu Ke last year.

It's really not worth it for her.

When New Art City was founded, although there were people behind the scenes who were capable of filming and directing, no one knew how to manage the company.

If it weren't for Shi Nansheng's joining, Xinyi City would probably be a grassroots team at best and would have disbanded long ago.

In order to recruit her, the bosses of New Art City, Huang Baiming, Le Jia and Shi Nansheng, only met a few times before they hurriedly transferred one month's salary into her bank card, fearing that Shi Nansheng wouldn't come!

And Shi Nansheng went entirely for Xu Kecai.

Later, Xu Ke did not agree with the ideas of New Art City and went solo. Shi Nansheng left the already brilliant New Art City without hesitation and established an independent studio with Xu Ke.

Xu…

It's okay to be single. If you get married, two people must reach a consensus and decide that Dink will have only each other for life and support each other until they grow old.

Some men decide to get off the car halfway through their dinking, leaving a partner who is unable to have children and is alone, driving to the end of his life.

Really scum.

When he was young, he deceived a woman to accompany him to work hard in his career, go around freely, and enjoy the other person's youth, emotional support, and spiritual resonance. Don't let children disturb your carefree life, and don't let family chores hold you back.

When he gets old, he kicks off his wife who is no longer young and replaces him with a younger woman to give birth to his children.

However, Shen Xudong still entrusts Xu Ke with important responsibilities. He is the producer of the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, he is also the producer of the "Di Renjie" series, and now he has started the "Journey to the West" series...

When we met, we first talked about "Best Partner" and then "Sunshine"

"Sunshine" was released in January, with a box office of about 9 million Hong Kong dollars...

It’s not worth discussing, but it includes Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Score, Best Cinematography, 10 Academy Award nominations for Best Editing…
