211 [I have become a famous gentleman but not married]
"Mr. Ye, do you guess how much this movie can cost?" the reporter asked curiously.
Previously, Ye Jin said that Xu Rongwen's "The Two Stars of the Ghost" could sell for more than HK$5 million, but the box office of this movie has reached 6 million. Ye Jin's prediction of the box office has come true again, which is even more accurate than horse critics' prediction of horses.
"I think it should be more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars." Ye Jin smiled, "but it also depends on whether the audience will support it."
The original "Elder" was released in 1981, and he remembered that the box office was about 3 million Hong Kong dollars. However, this version of "Elder" was modified by him, so it is difficult to grasp whether the box office fell or rose.
However, in Ye Jin's opinion, two million Hong Kong dollars should not be less. He is still very confident about the quality of the movie.
"Mr. Ye, how do you evaluate Miss Lin's performance?" the reporter asked curiously again.
"If the full score is 10, I will give Miss Lin a seven-point score." Ye Jin thought for a while.
When Lin Qingxia heard this, she was stunned and looked at him in confusion, not knowing where she was deducted points.
The reporter was also very surprised, "Mr. Ye, what do you think Miss Lin has other shortcomings?"
"I think there is still room for improvement in acting." Ye Jin explained, "In addition, her kung fu is still weak and her strength is insufficient. I think these are all weaknesses, so I can't get a full score, and it can only be considered above the passing line."
"Your requirements are really strict." The reporter smiled.
When Lin Qingxia heard this, she suddenly realized.
I am indeed flawed in these two aspects and still have a lot of room for improvement.
...
After a while, several major newspapers in Xiangjiang have reported on the release of "The Elders".
Ming Pao reported that "Ye Jin's other masterpiece, Lin Qingxia, performed perfectly!"
The Oriental Daily reported that, "Lin Qingxia transformed into a big screen, and a modern girl turned into a country girl!"
"Overseas Chinese Daily" reported that "Ye Jin was dissatisfied with Lin Qingxia and only wanted to give her seven points!"
Even the Xiangjiang Daily, which has always criticized Ye Jin for his old career, turned his mouth this time and praised his new work as completely different from his previous work, bold and innovative, and no longer the previous [Kung Fu Boy] type. The movie story is more complex and the theme is deeper, and it has made great progress compared to previous works.
These newspapers are full of praise, which also makes Ye Jin even more excited about the box office of "The Elders".
...
However, the release of "The Elders" is not the most shocking news in the newspaper today.
The real amazing news is that Ming Pao exclusively revealed that Ye Jin and Xu Rongwen will soon work together for a new drama.
Once this news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the Xiangjiang film industry.
Ye Jin and Xu Rongwen are both the most box office-friendly artists in Xiangjiang. They are almost at the forefront of their respective fields and are unable to catch up with other artists.
The cooperation between the two of them is a collision with Mars on Earth, and it will inevitably create amazing sparks. It is really exciting.
Because this news was really shocking, the Ming Pao was directly sold out on that day. This also indirectly proves how much people look forward to the cooperation between the two superstars.
"I don't know what movie they are going to make, I'm really looking forward to it!"
"I also want to watch the scenes they collaborate on, I don't know how good it is!"
"They cooperate and join forces, and they will definitely make a very good movie!"
The people were looking forward to it, and even Zou Wenhuai was shocked when he heard this news.
"Mr. Ye, why did you think of finding Mr. Xu to cooperate?" He called Ye Jin curiously.
He kept this in the dark and only found out about it today when he read the newspaper.
"Because of [Kung Fu Boy] movies, I have made four movies so far, and it's time for the audience to change their tastes." Ye Jin said with a smile, "Otherwise, it's always a type of movie, and I'm worried that the audience will get tired of watching it."
"Oh, so that's it." Zou Wenhuai nodded, "Then how confident are you in the success of this cooperation?"
"Mr. Zou, I don't want to say too much." Ye Jin smiled, "But if I don't have enough confidence, I will not send an invitation to Mr. Xu. If Mr. Xu doesn't watch this movie, it's impossible for me to mess around."
"Ah, I understand." Seeing Ye Jin was so sure, Zou Wenhuai nodded with a smile, "Okay, your cooperation this time has caused a lot of sensation. If it is successful in the end, it is very likely that the box office record will be broken again, so I will wait for your good news!"
"Okay, I won't let you down." Ye Jin nodded and smiled.
In addition to Zou Wenhuai calling to inquire, many media also called to inquire about the details of Ye Jin's cooperation with Xu Rongwen.
For example, if you are working on comedy films or kung fu films; if you are leading by Xu Rongwen or Ye Jin; if you are investing in Myth Film or Xu's Film; what is the story, when will it be filmed and when will it be released...
The media is really curious about this movie, and they all want to obtain exclusive information and then expose exclusive information like Ming Pao. In this way, they can also be sold out like Ming Pao.
However, Ye Jin and Xu Rongwen both chose to ban the words and had no way to tell them.
The movie is still underway and they don't want to be disturbed by the media.
...
Ye Jin and Xu Rongwen decided on the candidates for the actors and the pay for the main actors yesterday.
Today, their main job is to invite selected actors separately.
For example, Xu Rongwen is responsible for inviting Xu Rongying (chicken soak), Zheng Shaoping (female thief in supermarket), Zhang Shanming (the boss of the martial arts hall), Xiao Jin (the second in the martial arts hall), Guo Limin (the borrower who arrears), Chen Jianyun (the wallet guest), Zeng Chulin (the bomber in the theater), Zhu Mu (the cheating husband), etc.
Half of these actors are artists from TVB, half of them are artists from Xiao, and they are all former colleagues of Xu Rongwen, so it is most suitable for him to invite them.
Ye Jin was responsible for inviting Wu Yaohan (sponsor), Zhao Yazhi (secretary), Huang Feng (male thief in the supermarket), Shi Jian (robber leader), and other supporting actors, etc.
It was very convenient for Ye Jin to invite Wu Yaohan, Huang Feng, Shi Jian and others, and it was basically just a matter of phone calls. After all, Wu Yaohan and the Hong Family Class are now all his artists, and they all followed his instructions.
However, on Zhao Yazhi's side, Ye Jin thought about it and decided to take action himself.
It has been a year since we last met Zhao Yazhi.
During this year, he had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From an unknown dragon and tiger martial artist, he grew into the most popular star in Xiangjiang; his wealth has also changed from being a millionaire today; in terms of love, he has also changed from a single dog to a stunning beauty.
So he now has enough confidence and enough strength to face Zhao Yazhi.
I have become famous and have not married, and I may also be a destined person.
