220 [Find out the eyes and eyes] (Thanks for the support of the book friend Nan Tang's widow)
After returning to the crew, Ye Jin continued to film.
Fortunately, "Half-Kilo" is a two-strong drama, and Xu Rongwen has more scenes, so although he asked for seven days off, he actually did not delay the filming progress.
At the same time, the movie "Elder" has been released for twelve days, and the cumulative box office has reached HK$2.6 million. Such a result can be said to be quite remarkable.
Previously, the best-selling kung fu film with the highest box office in Hong Kong was "The Fourteen Female Heroes" filmed by director Cheng Gang. It was released in 1972 and received HK$2.56 million.
The film can be said to be a gathering of stars, consisting of Ling Bo, Li Jing, Ding Pei, Xia Ping, Wang Ping, He Lili, Ouyang Shafei, etc. Even the supporting actors are Mi Fei, which almost includes all the popular actresses of Xiao at that time. It has been filmed for two years and is a real blockbuster.
But the box office record set by this blockbuster is broken by the movie "The Elders" starring Lin Qingxia.
Compared with the super lineup of "The Fourteen Female Heroes", the movie "The Elders" can be said to be very shabby. Yuan Biao, one of the male protagonists, was just a dragon and tiger martial artist before that, and had no fame at all.
Therefore, "The Elders" can break the box office record and achieve such good results, which is even more rare. This further confirms Lin Qingxia's charm. One person can beat the fourteen popular actresses of the Xiao family.
Therefore, with the continuous rise in the box office of "The Elders", Lin Qingxia's popularity and status have also risen, and she is vaguely becoming the number one actress in Xiangjiang.
...
In the next few days, Ye Jin was filming during the day and was busy with the post-production of "The Strange Skill of Laughing Fist" at night.
"The Elders" was released for twelve days, and the box office was already exhausted. At its peak, the box office was 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a day, but now only about 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is left.
It is estimated that in up to seven days, the movie will be about to fall into pieces. At that time, "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" will be released, so the post-production will be completed in the next few days.
Fortunately, Huang Zheng and Gu Jiahui have already written the soundtrack, the theme song, Mandarin dubbing, and Cantonese dubbing, so the next work is very simple.
Synthesize these dubbing, soundtrack and image alignment, and after two corrections, it is confirmed that the sound and picture are synchronized, and you can basically copy them.
It is worth mentioning that a film that lasts 90 minutes requires nearly three thousand meters of film, which needs to be divided into five to six copies, each copy weighs twenty-five kilograms.
In fact, the digital movie screenings in later generations only require a small USB flash drive, which really saves much effort.
Three days later, the copy of "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" has begun to be recorded.
Record six copies and you can provide twelve or more theater screenings.
After a cinema has released its first film, it will be transported to the second theater for screening. After the second theater is finished, it will be transported to the third theater for screening... As long as the screening time zone is separated and a set of movie copies can be supplied to multiple theaters. This operation is called [Sports Film].
The Taiwanese film market has extremely strict restrictions on the introduction of foreign language films. Not only is there a restriction on the number of introductions, but also the number of copies is also limited. However, because foreign language films, especially Hollywood blockbusters, are really popular, theaters adopt the [running film] model. A movie copy can support screenings in up to six theaters.
...
"Mr. Ye, "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" will be held tomorrow for midnight trial. If the response is good, it will be officially released the day after tomorrow. How about?" Zou Wenhuai discussed with Ye Jin.
"No problem." Ye Jin nodded and smiled, "I have confidence in this movie. I think the midnight trial will definitely be successful."
"That's good." Zou Wenhuai smiled, "Mr. Ye, I want to tell you good news. "Drunk Boxing" has held several trials in Japan, and the response is very good and will be officially released on a large scale soon."
"Really?! That's great." Ye Jin nodded when he heard this.
"Yes, it's indeed a good thing." Zou Wenhuai smiled, "If you can achieve great results in Japan, then we will be more confident in entering Hollywood."
Ye Jin nodded.
Hollywood values the box office appeal of celebrities the most.
Jackie Chan, Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa and other Hong Kong movie stars were able to go to Hollywood to develop because they were attracted by their ability to attract money in the Asian market.
Ye Jin is now only well-known in Xiangjiang, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and his overall box office appeal is not high. If he can become famous in Japan and conquer the world's second largest film market, then Hollywood will naturally notice him, and then his hope of entering Hollywood will be even higher.
"Yes, I hope so too." Ye Jin smiled, "I also hope Mr. Zou will do more."
Jiahe still has something to do with Hollywood. If Zou Wenhuai is willing to work hard, it will be easier for him to develop in Hollywood.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye. Give him a peach and repay him a pet. You are so important to us Jiahe, I will never treat you badly." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
Ye Jin is a star under Jiahe. The more popular he is, the more beneficial he is to Jiahe.
This will not only bring about an increase in box office, but Jiahe can also use him as a stepping stone to open the film market of America. It is the world's largest film market, with a scale of more than 6 billion US dollars. Some leaking into the gaps in his fingers is enough for Jiahe to be full.
"A word is certain." Ye Jin nodded and said.
...
Since Jiahe came out, Chen Ziqiang came up mysteriously, "Mr. Ye, you've found out your eyebrows."
When Ye Jin heard this, he immediately stopped, looked around, and then pulled Chen Ziqiang into the car, "What's the news?"
"After the investigation by private detectives, Zhao Shen was a fraud. He used Morningstar Advertising Company to lure young and beautiful girls in the name of shooting advertisements.
After they were led to the studio, they forced them to take off their clothes and shoot advertisements. The girls were not well-educated and timid and lonely, so they could only be merciless. And they were afraid of being embarrassed afterwards, so they basically would not call the police, so they were free for several years." Chen Ziqiang reported.
"Is the evidence accurate? Can he bring it to justice?" Ye Jin gritted his teeth after hearing this.
These scammers are so hateful. I don’t know how many ignorant girls they have harmed. What’s even more hateful is that they even deceived me. They are so bold!
"It's not easy. Zhao Shen is very cunning. He is doing bad things by his subordinates. He has always been behind the scenes. If Miss Lin hadn't been too famous, he wouldn't have stood up, played heroes to save the beauty, and played a long line to catch big fish.
Even if his subordinates refuse to stand up and correct him, they will basically not be sentenced to prison." Chen Ziqiang explained, "It is undoubtedly difficult to get those girls to stand up and testify at this stage. So it is not easy to bite him through his subordinates."
Ye Jin nodded.
Even in the 21st century, many humiliated women will encounter strong pressure when defending their rights. Not to mention that the current social atmosphere is so conservative, if they really stand up, their relationship, family, and life will collapse from now on.
