Chapter 33 I was prepared
Wen Jun looked at his classmates arrogantly and said proudly: "How is it? I'm not bragging, am I? Isn't Yang Shaoniu awesome?"
"Awesome, really awesome!" The students were all convinced.
“I always feel it’s a bit fake. How can people jump so high?” There was still a classmate who felt something was wrong.
“I think it’s a stunt?”
"What kind of stunt? The camera didn't switch, can't you see it?"
"Maybe it's a hanging wire?"
"Where is the wire? Did you see it?"
The current wire hanging technology can only do some simple somersaults, and the camera must be hidden.
Generally speaking, when a character wants to perform Qing Kung Fu, the camera will switch to half-body, so that the steel wire is out of the frame.
In "Shaolin Temple", it is a full panoramic long shot, and there is no possibility of hiding the camera. It looks as if a person can really jump so high and perform such complicated movements.
This group of students discussed for a long time, and they had to admit that Yang Ye was even more awesome than Bruce Lee!
But there is a problem. If Yang Ye is better than Bruce Lee, then Liu Jialiang, Chen Yuanlong, Yuen Biao, Yuan Hua and others who performed difficult actions in the movie are all better than Bruce Lee. force?
Even that Zhao Yazhi looks awesome!
This... everyone couldn't accept it and fell into deep thought!
...
Five days, two million box office, a long queue at the entrance of Jiahe Cinema, prime time movie tickets are hard to get, many people took the trouble to watch it over and over again, some students just wanted to see it The movie skipped school directly.
Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were sitting together and smoking cigars, they were so happy.
The last time I saw this kind of grand occasion was when Bruce Lee's "Way of the Dragon" was released three years ago, and this time it was even more popular than the last time.
Zou Wenhuai sighed: "Ah Ye is a talent. Before the filming of his "Shaolin Temple" started, he carried out a series of hypes and raised people's expectations to the extreme. This helped the movie become an instant hit. Red. I think we can learn from it when we make movies in the future.”
He Guanchang said: "Yes, and his movies are extremely exciting. After watching this "Shaolin Temple", those old kung fu movies were simply unwatchable. Many people were still unsatisfied after watching it, and they called their friends again to watch it again. Buy a ticket and watch it later.”
Zou Wenhuai laughed and said, “It’s ridiculous that Shao Laoliu deliberately made a movie with the same name to fool around with others. It’s a pity that his fake Li Gui met A Ye’s true self. Li Kui immediately lost his temper. "
"Yes, I am not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I am afraid of comparing goods. The theater is crowded now. People have watched A Ye's "Shaolin Temple" and are not interested in their "Shaolin Temple". I have no interest in taking another look."
"It seems that it is certain to break the box office record this time. What do you think it will be in the end?"
"Hong Kong It's hard to say. But the population is 4.5 million. A few months ago, "Ghost Horse Double Star" mobilized 1.5 million people. I thought it was the limit. Now it seems that it is far from it. I estimate that it can reach 2 million people this time." br>
"That's a box office of 8 million, what a terrifying future! However, after selling so much money, Aye only received a salary of 100,000. I wonder what he would think."
"You are considering subsequent cooperation. What’s the problem?”
“Yes, Aye is a versatile man, we have to win over him.”
“I thought this guy was very good when the filming started. , he clamored to break the box office record in front of many newspapers. I'm afraid he had already thought of this situation. "
Zou Wenhuai sighed and said, "I am also thinking about this issue now. According to the agreement, the film rights belong to him. I am afraid that in the next step, he will use the power of breaking Hong Kong's box office record to sell movies in Japan. If he is really allowed to open up the Japanese market, he will be the second Bruce Lee. At that time, we will not be able to control him.”
"So what do you mean?"
"With a dark look in his eyes, he went to Japan alone to sell movies. I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Who among those movie companies in Japan is good? ? If I don’t eat him up by then, I’ll let him suffer. What I want is to use our channels to help him sell movies in Japan after he’s beaten to death. He will know our importance then."
He Guanchang nodded repeatedly: "When the time comes that he wants to make new films, he will have to be willing to negotiate with us about the contract, but at that time the initiative will be in our hands. In his hands, he can't even open his mouth."
Zou Wenhuai smiled like an old fox: "The best result is that he accepts our investment and his Baiyang Pictures becomes our satellite company."
"In this case, we just need to wait and see what happens. If necessary, we can even contact Nippon's partners to create some trouble for this kid."
Zou Wenhuai looked like he was in control: "The celebration banquet after breaking the record should be grander."
... Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was released for 20 days, and the box office exceeded 7 million, successfully breaking the Hong Kong box office Record.
The Shaw Brothers' "Shaolin Temple" was miserably suppressed. In fact, the Shaw Brothers' all-star cast of "Shaolin Temple" still maintains Chang Cheh's usual standards.
I had no choice but to encounter Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple", and it immediately became nothing.
The two movies are not from the same era at all. People who have watched Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" will no longer have the slightest interest in the Shaw Brothers movie, and would rather watch Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" again.
Shao Brothers' "Shaolin Temple" broke the 1 million box office mark in just five days. After Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was released, it immediately became unavailable. It was barely released after a week and was withdrawn. The final box office was 120 Ten thousand.
The next week it only took in 200,000 yuan at the box office, which was really miserable.
After the completion of Shaw Brothers' "Shaolin Temple", the new release is Li Hanxiang's romance film "Legend of Hong Kong and Macau".
These days, Hong Kong movies have not yet implemented classification. Li Hanxiang’s romance films are actually pornographic films, and they are all shown openly in cinemas.
Li Hanxiang has prospered with these pornographic films. In recent years, Li Hanxiang's pornographic films are indispensable in the top ten annual box office.
But this time I ran into Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple", which was a bad luck.
When Yang Ye's "Shaolin Temple" was released for 20 days, Li Hanxiang's "Legend of Hong Kong and Macau" was released for 11 days, and the box office was only over 800,000. It seems that it will be difficult to break one million this time.
For the first time in three years, it did not exceed one million, and Lao Li wanted to cry but had no tears.
……
"Actually, I never thought about long-term cooperation with Jiahe from the beginning." Yang Ye said to Xia Meng.
“Even if they promise me a 30% share, I may not sign it, because the theater chain is in their hands. If they want to cheat me, I have no way.”
< br>"As for the overseas market, they have the final say on how much it sells for. If he sells it for one million, and tells me he sold it for 100,000, and then gives me 30,000, who am I going to ask for explanation?"< br>
“So, I am going to Japan to sell films in person.”
When Yang Ye signed that weird contract with Jiahe, Xia Meng thought he was stupid, but now he knows that he knows everything clear.
Xia Meng was a little worried and said: "The Japanese people are not friendly. You are not familiar with the place. If you go to Japan alone, you must be more careful."
Yang Ye said: "Sister Meng, don't worry, I will never fight without you. "Preparing for the battle."
Xia Meng dreamed of Yang Ye's extremely detailed storyboard, and naturally believed in his words, but he still couldn't help but be a little worried. After all, they were thousands of miles away, and what happened? It’s hard to say.
“Anyway, pay attention to safety.”
“Don’t worry! There is one more thing. During this period, please help me pay attention to what other places in Hong Kong are suitable for building theaters. Let’s Buy the land.”
Xia Meng was shocked: "You want to set up your own theater chain?"
Yang Ye raised his eyebrows: "Of course, the initiative must be in his own hands. As I said, I never thought of relying on Jiahe . ”
“Where do you get the money? And building a theater chain cannot be solved by money alone. It has to do with both black and white. If you deny it, people will come to your door every day to make trouble, and it will be given to you in a few days. It’s a mess.”
Yang Ye explained: “During the stock market crash the year before last, I bought a batch of stocks. Now that the stock market is recovering, if I sell these stocks, I will have enough money to build a theater chain. "
Xia Meng's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "So you were already prepared?"
"I said, I won't fight an unprepared battle."
