Chapter 242 The appearance of wealth
Just for our two companies and Great Wall, the ones that are definitely going to be released next year include: "Tai Chi 2", "Shaolin Temple", "Mom Love Me Again", "Orphan", as well as the "Fatal Turn" series and the "Dark Invasion" series.
I have two quotas every year, one is for "Tai Chi 2", and there is one left. "Orphan" is a co-production and does not count as a quota.
As for the projects that should be done next year, the first is "Tai Chi 3". The trilogy is finished and has come to an end. He plans to let Li Lianlian make a modern action film. Modern action films actually cover a larger market and the West also likes it.
Then there’s another North American special film.
These two films are must-dos.
"The rest..."
He first thought of Gong Xue. According to his plan, Sister Xue will win three Hundred Flowers Awards in a row, become the first in the country, and then go overseas. These days, returning with a trophy at three major European exhibitions is not as effective as foreign exchange.
Difference.
"An award-winning film!"
He made a note in his notebook.
"What else should we do? A Hong Kong movie?"
To be honest, Chen Qi doesn't have time to deal with the Hong Kong market now because it is too small, but then he thought again, he might as well make a movie.
In January next year, New Art City's "The Best Partner" was released, setting a record for movie attendance and earning 26 million at the box office. Then "The Best Partner 2" and "The Best Partner 3" won the championship for two consecutive years. New Art City
It has also reached its peak.
He wants to demolish the opponent in advance, poaching others, and proving his strength at the same time.
Otherwise, if you just make some foreign-profit films, such as "Orphan", it will definitely not do well at the box office in Hong Kong, and it may not be attractive to human resources. You have to be very good in Hong Kong.
“Then let’s watch a Hong Kong movie!”
"It just so happens that I want to recruit Andy Lau and Liang Jiahui to come over!"
As a result, Chen Qi made a big decision and decided on four films: "Tai Chi 3", a North American special, an award-winning film, and a Hong Kong film.

The next day, on the set.
Qiu Shuzhen felt very uncomfortable today because her master did not come.
She had been panicking since the morning and managed to film a few scenes. When it was time for dinner, she still didn't see him. She couldn't help but ask the staff: "Excuse me, where is my master?"
"I don't know, I'm just a food delivery person!"
"Is there anything going on today, my master?"
"I don't know either, I'm just a eater!"
After asking again and again, I asked the assistant director, and finally got the answer: "Mr. Chen went to collect stories!"
"Collecting wind?"
She doesn't understand the word.
"Oh, it's just that he has new inspiration, so he goes around, takes a look, and collects some materials."
Tsui Hark also came over and asked curiously: "He wants to write a new script?"
"It seems so. I don't know for sure. Anyway, I won't be here today."
"Hmm..."
Qiu Shuzhen was unhappy.
…………
Night, Temple Street.
Temple Street is in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. It has the most famous night market in Hong Kong. The products are very cheap and there are all kinds of religions and religions. Many movies use Temple Street as the theme, such as "New Love", "God of Cookery", "Temple Street Ten"
"Second Young Master" Balabala.
Chen Qi took Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng and went shopping all day long.
I went to the famous Wong Tai Sin Temple, Man Mo Temple, Po Lin Temple, etc. Don't talk about Taoist priests and monks when I saw them. They talked about four pillars and eight characters, plum blossoms are easy to count, and Ziwei Dou is easy to count.
Xiao Mo almost pushed him to the ground and escorted him back to Beijing.
You, a cadre of a state-owned enterprise, seek divination from immortals, what do you really want to do? Where is your belief, where is your red, are you trying to restore feudal superstition!!
Chen Qi explained in every possible way, I am collecting the style! I am collecting the style!
At this moment, the three of them had just eaten a bowl of authentic Stephen Chow's offal noodles, served with peeing beef balls, and then wandered around Temple Street.
With the Tin Hau Temple as the symbol, Temple Street is divided into two. One side is full of fortune-telling and fortune-telling stalls. The stall owners all look like semi-immortals. The business is very good and there are many good men and women.
On the other side is a gathering place for Cantonese opera singers. A simple venue is surrounded by an open-air microphone. There is an accompaniment of flute and string instruments, and a woman sings babblingly. You need to buy tickets to watch, and you can also pay to order songs.
It's more expensive.
"Oh, let's go in and take a look!"
"I won't spend your money, I'll treat you to a show!"
"What's the point? Don't cause the loss of national property!"
"Why don't you talk about the loss of national property while you're eating steak and rice?"
Xiao Mo had a straight face and forcefully dragged Chen Qi away. Chen Qi was very sorry and had to listen for a while outside, as if he was singing the famous Cantonese opera "Xiang Yao": "The sky is full of falling flowers, blocking the moonlight, borrow a cup and
On the phoenix platform, the emperor's daughter came up with flowers and tears..."
Reluctantly, he went to the other side where there were fortune-telling shops.
I saw men, women, and children all standing next to each other, with the word "liar" written all over their faces. Their names also sounded, such as "Temple Street Divine Appearance", "Tan Xiangu ordered Feng Shui Master", "Spell Talisman Wish You Good Luck"...
Xiao Mo and Xiao Geng were both dumbfounded.
"Is this a capitalist society? Is this a feudal society?"
"History books have told you that this is a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. You haven't gone to school? Let's go and take a look!"
Chen Qi randomly picked a house where Tan Xiangu appointed a Feng Shui master. An old lady was sitting on a horse, wearing a Chinese-style jacket, holding a fan, and a pair of black glasses.
First I was surprised:
"Hey, this boss is so handsome!"
"What's the best method?" Chen Qi said with a smile.
"I see that you are plump in heaven, with square lips and red lips, a straight bridge of nose, no leaky nostrils, high and fleshy cheekbones, delicate and raised eyebrows, dragon head and phoenix eyes, you are exactly what you should look like to be rich and powerful!"
You can be a highly respected minister, and you can be rich and honorable for the rest of your life, with a lot of wives and concubines, and a family full of descendants. However, I think your palace is darkened, and there are evil stars in your head. You may be in trouble in the near future..."
"Okay, okay, apart from reading faces, what other business do you have?"
"Here!"
The fairy aunt quickly put up a sign, writing about the Feng Shui layout, commercial and residential factories, horoscopes, changing the child's name, choosing a day to match the fate...
“It’s really extensive!”
Chen Qi was very happy and asked: "Does the psychic understand?"
"Spirit, medium?"
"The kind that summons the souls of the dead to have conversations with the living."
"It's just summoning spirits! Looking for yin and yang is not my business scope. Please hire someone else!"
"Does anyone here know how?"
"This is a public place, how can we summon spirits? Of course there is no such thing. You have to go to a private residence and find those goddesses who ask Mi Fuji."
"Ask Mi?"
Chen Qi nodded, he had enough material. Although he did not tell fortunes, he also gave him some money as a chat fee. The fairy was quite enthusiastic and waved his hands and shouted: "Boss, I am very accurate. You are really rich and have a good wife and concubine."
What a group! Don’t forget me when you get rich in the future!”
After walking around for a long time, I was very tired.
On the way back, Xiao Geng was driving, and Xiao Mo couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qi, do you really want to make a movie about feudal superstition? Will there be any objections from the superiors?"
"My boss has given me the power to deal with special matters, and I won't be showing it in the mainland. What should I be afraid of if it is released in Hong Kong? Look at this shabby place, people are keen on this, all for the purpose of earning foreign exchange.
Besides, my story doesn’t have feudal superstition as its core, it’s very touching!”
(No more...)
Chapter completed!
