Chapter 391, Harvest, the ‘Big Star’ in the Hong Kong Circle!

On the other side.

Liu Dehua also returned to the team of "The Warlords".

At this time.

The team of "The Warlords" was very nervous.

The box office was indeed OK.

But compared with the box office ratio of "The Warlords", the box office growth rate of "Ip Man" next door has reached a very exaggerated level.

5 million on the first day, 10 million on the second day, and 12 million on the third day.

At this time.

The box office of "The Warlords" has fallen into a slump on the second day, and it seems that it is about to be tied with "Ip Man".

You have to know that the total investment of "Ip Man" is only more than 30 million, and the salary of Li Lianjie in "The Warlords" alone is nearly 100 million.

The sky-high salary, compared with the production of others, if the box office is really tied in the end, it will be "The Warlords" that will be embarrassed.

You have to know that the crew of "The Warlords" did not take "Ip Man" seriously at all!

"Why are you all in such a bad mood?" Liu Dehua looked at Jin Chengwu who was playing the latest 3ds game console next to him, playing Monster Hunter.

This former Asian No. 1 handsome man is very pure, and he would never work if he could play games.

At this time, Jin Chengwu said with great concentration.

"How should I put it? The Kung Fu Emperor who returned from Hollywood is in a very bad mood."

In a very bad mood.

If I have to say, it seems that he is a little bit broken.

His whole face is dark.

For Chen Kexin, the current results are actually quite good. Although it is a bit surprising to the results of "Ip Man" next door, as long as it does not affect him, there is not much to say.

But it is different for Li Lianjie. He returned to the mainland with great ambitions, and it can be said that he is a king.

But now this king's return has been defeated by the unknown "Ip Man".

Is the performance of "The Warlords" not good enough?

No.

His 100 million salary is not for nothing.

In terms of his box office appeal, there is absolutely no possibility of loss in his first movie after his return to the mainland.

It's just that compared with the box office explosion of "Ip Man" next door.

It's still a bit broken.

Especially since everyone is in the field of action movies.

He was left behind in the field he is most familiar with, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Is he in a bad mood? It's not that I can't understand his feelings, but the box office is a real choice made with real money, and the audience voted with money."

At this time, Liu Dehua touched his chin and said.

"Since you have watched this movie, do you think he deserves this result?" Jin Chengwu, who was playing Monster Hunter Cat Car at this time, finally raised his head and looked at Liu Dehua.

"If you want to say from my point of view, I even think that it is not impossible for this movie to beat our "The Warlords"."

This time Jin Chengwu couldn't sit still and couldn't sit down to play games at ease.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Is it really exaggerated?"

"The investment is not even of the same magnitude."

"Who told you that the quality of a movie is completely linked to the investment magnitude?"

At this time, Liu Dehua closed his eyes and recalled.

"I haven't seen such a good movie for a long time. The feeling it gave me was very wonderful."

At this time, Liu Dehua used a very strange adjective.

That is wonderful.

After watching this movie, Liu Dehua felt a strange blood boiling.

Very direct emotion.

"How should I put it? After watching this movie, if I have to find an adjective to describe it, it is simple."

Simple and pure, the amount of information contained is much less than "The Warlords".

But movies are never the more information the better.

Absolutely not.

It is precisely because of the purity of the information that it allows for a viewing experience suitable for all ages.

The movie is indeed fermenting.

The movie "Ip Man" has indeed taken off.

The word-of-mouth fermentation in the Internet era is very fast. On the 5th day, the box office was as famous as "The Warlords".

Suitable for all ages, pure emotions, online acting, and good-looking kung fu and martial arts.

This is the online public opinion evaluation of the movie "Ip Man", without too many strange elaborations.

There are many comments on "The Warlords", especially long comments from some bloggers, with various angles of analysis, information integration, and even too much information that cannot be understood at the first viewing, and it takes two or three viewings to understand it.

For movie lovers. Or people with a full pocket, it is not worth mentioning to watch a movie twice or three times.

This is a bit regrettable for ordinary audiences.

Many of them cannot appreciate the whole movie.

All I can say is that Jin Chengwu and Liu Tianwang are so handsome, and I can only say that the Kung Fu Emperor fights really well.

On the side of "Ip Man", it is completely like a wild horse that has run away from its reins.

Li Yun's name has become a hot search on Weibo.

He is both Ip Man.

He is also the director of "Ip Man".

At this time, on the side of the Wushu Association, those traditional martial arts masters were madly complaining to the higher authorities.

"Banned, such a movie must be banned! It must not be allowed to stay!" Ma Guohu was noisy there.

The leaders of the Wushu Association could only greet the incident with a smile.

"We cannot decide to ban a public figure or a public work, especially since he has not violated any laws or regulations."

"How come he didn't violate the rules and regulations? He smeared our traditional Chinese martial arts! What he did was not authentic! And what he used was not the real stuff!"

Milan Fang was the most excited at this time.

She was a little panicked.

She was panicked because.

Now the public opinion on the Internet is saying that her Wing Chun is not as good as Li Yun's.

"This is simple. You can have an exhibition match. Didn't you cultivate some kind of true qi? It should be easy to defeat him. Then you can prove to the people of the country that you are the orthodox Wing Chun master and you are the representatives of traditional martial arts. How simple is that."

Tian Wei said lightly.

The chairman of the martial arts association choked these masters speechless.

Then Ma Guohu said viciously.

"Don't talk to us like that. With us, the Wushu Association is a Wushu Association. Without us, you are just a makeshift group! If our reputation is ruined, you won't benefit either!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it."

After dealing with these masters for a while, Tian Wei sent them out of the office.

Then the professional smile on his face disappeared.

"You are still an orthodox master, but you still have true Qi and internal strength. What else can you do except go on TV to deceive people? You are really ignorant."

"It must be tiring to deal with this group of people."

At this time, Wu Jinquan came in from outside and looked at Tian Wei helplessly.

"Indeed, it is very tiring. By the way, you went to see the movie "Ip Man". How did you feel about it?"

"It's very good, very good. It is the best film that interprets Chinese martial arts that I have seen in the past 10 years."

Tian Wei didn't expect him to give such a high evaluation.

"Because he is good at martial arts?"

"In a sense, he denied martial arts and acknowledged martial arts. I can even understand why those traditional masters are furious, because "Ip Man" destroyed their jobs but it also promoted Chinese martial arts."

"The actor of "Ip Man" has authentic and pure Wing Chun Kung Fu, which cannot be mastered without ten or eight years of practice."

After hearing Wu Jinquan's evaluation.

Tian Wei also thought for a moment and said.

"How does this Master Ye compare with our orthodox successor Milan Fang?"

"One cent."

"One cent?"

"This Milan Fang is worth one cent."

Hearing this, Tian Wei seemed to have made a decision.

The reason why the Wushu Association kept those masters is because it needs the orthodoxy of intangible cultural heritage to preserve the orthodoxy of the association.

But if someone is more orthodox than them.

"You made a lot of money this time!"

Jiang Chenggang looked at the box office table.

He couldn't help but breathe heavily. Li Yun, as the leading actor, and the director participated in the box office share.

Box office share!

According to the share, Li Yun can earn at least 10 million yuan.

Li Yun at this moment.

But he is resting his mind with his eyes closed.

For Li Yun, who is not so materialistic at present, having a house and a car.

It seems to be enough.

Of course, more money is better, after all, investing in movies also requires money.

This money can only be regarded as supplementing the company's cash flow.

Make the company's cash flow more abundant and do more things.

But in fact, being rich is the second thing to pursue.

What I pursue more is to be famous all over the world, to reach the peak, and to make the whole world tremble for my work.

This is what Li Yun pursues.

"Not bad, not bad, you make more money, and then let me live a carefree and comfortable life, hahaha!"

In fact, the director personality is talking in Li Yun's ear again.

Haunting.

"Do you want me to make wedding dresses for you? It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

"It doesn't matter. The more personalities you expel, the stronger I and the superstar will be. At that time, we will see who can enjoy everything you have worked hard for."

The director personality was sitting on Li Yun's shoulder at this time.

"Didn't you notice? After Ye Wen was sent away by you, the two of us became more like independent individuals, not vassals."

"So what do you mean?"

Li Yun smiled faintly.

"So why don't you quickly teach me all your knowledge about directing, so that the works I shoot will be better, and you can enjoy more fame and fortune from my struggle in the future, right?"

"You kid really think about how to exploit us all the time."

The director personality clicked his tongue at this time.

"In fact, being a director is an empirical discipline. No matter how much I teach you, it's just talk on paper. You have to put it into actual combat and use works to feed it in order to thoroughly understand the feelings. With your unique sense of substitution, I believe we can shoot earth-shaking works!"

It is true.

The directing industry is an experience-based discipline.

No matter how amazing your talent is, you still need to direct works to feed it.

My next work.

Probably the New Three Kingdoms. For film works, the director and the leading actor tend to go hand in hand, but I haven't found a good director's work yet.

The main theme movie seems to have entered a silent period. There seems to be no news about the founding of a country and the founding of a party. I can only say that the official is really slow in promoting the project. This is also a disadvantage of CCTV's planning.

From the establishment of the project to the start of filming, it takes a long review process.

Unlike other circles, it may be enough to just sign the name from project establishment to filming.

But it is also because of this that the works of the CCTV circle are generally held back to be big, and if they don't make a sound, they will be amazing.

The highlight is that they concentrate their efforts on doing big things.

It can only be said that each circle has its own characteristics, and there is no saying who is better or worse, or who is more superior?

Especially for people like Li Yun who are mixed in various circles.

The benefits of each circle are all reaped.

Now.

The advantages of being mixed in various circles are shown. There is no window period of the CCTV circle, but the advantages are not less enjoyed, and the resources in the industry are all enjoyed.

For now.

This path is still correct.

At present, the movie "Ip Man" is still fermenting.

And the next movie that I will release is probably Let the Bullets Fly.

Let the Bullets Fly for a while.

The main influence of "Ip Man" this time.

It is mainly in the Hong Kong circle, and the main gains are also here.

I don't know what kind of influence this time "Ip Man" will have on this circle?

At this moment, more than half a month has passed, and the box office results have been finalized.

A great success.

This is the commercial performance of "Ip Man" at this time.

It is quite eye-catching.

With an investment several times less than that of "The Warlords", it has achieved comparable results.

This is enough to be proud of, enough to hold a big celebration banquet.

This result makes Ye Weixin quite comfortable.

Ye Weixin, who was toasting at the table, then smiled.

"Our chief contributor has arrived."

At this time, these people from all walks of life in the Hong Kong circle saw that the person who came was Li Yun, the chief contributor appointed by Ye Weixin.

Or he didn't need to appoint him.

The result is like this.

As a director, a leading actor, whether it is the leading kung fu martial arts or the literary drama, Li Yun has absolutely done an excellent job.

It has done a very excellent job.

It can be said that this time "Ip Man" can counterattack "The Warlords", and the chief contributor is Li Yun.

"Let me introduce them to you. These are all from Emperor Entertainment Group and Dacheng Entertainment Group. They are all old acquaintances in our Hong Kong circle." Yuan Jinbao next to him was also introducing them.

They are all old people in the Hong Kong circle.

They are all representatives of various investors.

Li Yun has naturally become a hot commodity.

This is also the biggest benefit brought by the successful release of the movie for Li Yun.

This benefit is probably all kinds of resources.

The money from making movies is invested in new movies. The results of filming movies are even better, which attracts more resources in the industry.

Climbing towards a higher position step by step.

As an actor, I had the opportunity to contact these big companies such as Emperor Entertainment Group before.

But it would not be like now.

As a director and an actor.

Being contacted together.

The status of a director is much higher than that of an actor. It is not just a little higher, but actually much higher.

The table where the director sits is half a level higher than that of the actor, or even a level higher.

Of course, this is only under normal circumstances.

If you go to the level of Cheng Shilong or Zhou Xingxing, the situation will become different.

In fact, in the past, Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan, to some extent, were also part-time directors, and they were also directors and actors.

After all, most of their movies were made at their own pace, and they were also self-directed and self-acted.

At this time.

There was a person who surprised Li Yun.

He was Chen Kexin, the director of "The Warlords".

He was also the nominal opponent of the movie "Ip Man".

Of course, for Li Yun, there was no opponent or not. The only opponent in the box office of the movie was himself, who could make the audience pay to watch the movie sincerely.

It was a real skill to get money out of their pockets.

It was a real skill to win an award.

For "The Warlords", this was a very embarrassing thing.

150 million vs. 30 million.

Even if they won, they would not be proud.

If they lost, it would be a big shame.

At this time, Chen Kexin felt a little regretful. Looking at the chief contributor of the business in front of him, if he had listened to Liu Dehua more, if he had been able to throw out more chips to retain Li Yun, would his "The Warlords" be able to go to the next level?

At least.

There would not be an opponent who would embarrass him slightly.

However, in the market of commercial films, there are no so-called real friends or enemies. If you have to say enemies, I'm afraid it's only Hollywood.

Civil wars are all benign.

Thinking about this, Chen Kexin also threw out his olive branch.

"Mr. Li, I won't say much. I have a movie that I have been preparing for 10 years. I filmed "The Warlords" to gather his resources. At present, I can barely meet the standard."

"Please go ahead."

"I think you are also familiar with this subject matter, but this subject matter should be the first time it has been commercialized."

What Chen Kexin wants to talk about is the main theme movie.

This main theme movie is called "The Besieged City in October".

It is a rare main theme in Hong Kong, and it is positioned as a main theme among businesses.

The film currently lacks a director.

As for the roles of the actors, they are not important. There are no supporting roles in this movie. They are all protagonists, or they are all supporting roles.

The protagonist of "October Besieged City" is that magnificent history, the blood, tears and war songs of the heroes.

And sad songs.

"October Besieged City..."

"Chen Kexin has been working hard for ten years, but he lacks a director who can lead the director here. It's incredible. He is obviously the director, but he puts the responsibility of the chief director on me."

Chen Kexin is the screenwriter, the technical director, and the behind-the-scenes.

The problems he faces are exactly the same as those of the lurking at that time.

He doesn't want to hand over his hard work casually, so he wants to do everything himself.

However, the result of doing it himself left him no time to split himself, so he could only give up the position of director.

Li Yun proved his strength as a commercial film director.

And Chen Kexin's expectations for October Besieged City are also very simple.

A big hit.

The more tickets sold, the better.

"With your ability to render emotions and my framework, we can make this movie effective and let the world know that it is not only the main theme of America across the ocean that can make the audience buy in."

"We can do that too."

Chen Kexin stretched out her hand and smiled slightly.

"It's quite tempting."

At this time, Li Yun thought for a moment.

He also shook Chen Kexin's hand.

At this time, Chen Kexin also sighed.

"You are also completely famous in our Hong Kong circle, and now you are already at the level of a 'big star'."

"One step further, you will be a superstar."

"Superstar, then, a superstar"
