Chapter 270 Two women came to the door
Hong Kong, the Emperor also took the opportunity to announce a co-production plan, causing a commotion in the Hong Kong media.
Xingchen Entertainment is very ambitious and has launched two co-productions at the same time, one with the United States and one with Hong Kong.
Originally, co-production between China and Hong Kong has been a trend in the past two years, and a co-production action movie is nothing at all.
But I can't stand it and Hollywood's jewels are ahead, and even "Kowloon Walled City", which is still in preparation, has a lot of popularity.
......
Yabai Film and Television
“You are crazy, you actually thought of using "Slaying the Wolf" and "Hurricane Rescue" to compete head-on. What do you think? Do you really think that this is an investment? A blockbuster worth over 100 million yuan..."
Huang Baigao, the boss of Yabai Film and Television, was not polite at all to Hong Jinbao. It is true that Hong Jinbao is a big boss, but he invested in "Slaying the Wolf" with real money. Smashing it in, he didn't want to get involved in the feud between Hong Jinbao and Zhang Chen.
After a while, Hong Jinbao slammed the door angrily and walked out.
He played the villain Wang Bao in "Slaying the Wolf" and was also the action director of this film. He thinks that the filming of "Slaying the Wolf" was very good. In terms of action scenes, it is no worse than "The Rescue".
Therefore, he strongly advocated that "Slaying the Wolf" and "The Rescue" should be released at the same time to have a good competition.
It’s a pity that Huang Baigao didn’t dare.
Of course Huang Baigao didn’t dare.
Zhang Chen is a well-known director, and "Hurricane" made over 100 million in box office with real money. Unlike his "Slaying the Wolf", which was announced to cost 140 million, it was actually 32 million.
Moreover, fighting "Hurricane" in the ring, even if he wins, will not do him any good, so he will not make this fool.
Hong Jinbao left. Zou Zhaolong and Dong Wei, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, looked at each other and hurried to follow.
Both of them are members of the Hong Family. Chou Siu-long is the best, a prime villain in Hong Kong action movies, and has also appeared in "The Matrix".
Dong Wei later also became a martial arts instructor. "The Spy Who", "The Secret Agent" and "October Siege" are all his works, but these are not the most famous. Jinhu" series.
Dong Wei: "Looking at Brother Sanmao, he must have suffered a defeat from Huang Baigao. Do we still need to tell him?"
Zou Zhaolong: "Nonsense, of course you have to tell us, otherwise Brother Sanmao will definitely blame us in the future..."
"What are you two whispering about over there?"
Two people The two sides had different opinions. When Hong Jinbao asked, he could only tell the truth.
"Brother Sanmao, it's the news that hit the street..."
"What?" Hong Jinbao stopped when he heard that it was about Zhang Chen.
Dong Wei added next to him: "Emperor just announced that they have collaborated with Zhang Chen on an action film called "Kowloon Walled City"."
"A mainlander, filming our Hong Kong story~" Hung Chin-po Disdainfully, he didn't believe Zhang Chen could shoot well.
“It’s not director Zhang Chen, it’s a new director, but he’s also from Zhang Chen’s company. I heard that many Hong Kong martial arts masters are being hired to film in the mainland. I was wondering if I should give them some color... "
Hearing Zou Zhaolong's words, Hong Jinbao glanced at him: "What are you thinking? Since this film is co-produced with Emperor, it is Boss Yang's movie. If you offend Boss Yang, do you still want to do it? Are you going to survive in this business?”
Although he is also a big shot in Hong Kong, there is still a big gap between him and Boss Yang.
If he offends Boss Yang, he, Hong Jinbao, may be fine, but the people under him may not have anything to eat.
Zou Zhaolong didn’t care about being lectured by the boss, but he was still a little unwilling: “Then we will do nothing?”
Hong Jinbao looked at his apprentice: “Competition is an open and honest competition. , doesn’t he want to make action scenes? Let him do it. When the time comes, let "Slaying the Wolf" and that "Kowloon Walled City" be released at the same time. Let's see what else he has to say."
"But, Just now..."
Hong Jinbao knew what he wanted to say about Huang Baigao, "It's understandable that he's afraid of facing "Hurricane Rescue". If Huang Baigao doesn't even dare to face a newcomer's movie, then He doesn’t have to make movies anymore. Wouldn’t it be better to beg for food?”
...Han Sanping Office
An old man and a young man are drinking tea.
Han Sanping: "You have done a good job. Not only has it changed public opinion, but I am afraid that the Wang brothers will regret it to death now. If I were them, I would give up a good share to others. I would definitely I hit my head against the wall with regret..."
Zhang Chen laughed: "They are not at a loss. When Lao Li went to collect it, half of the shares in their hands had been redeemed. The cost had been recovered long ago. It was nothing more than a loss. Just make money.”
"By the way, for this two co-productions, you'd better not do anything fake. Everything should be in accordance with the regulations. There are a lot of people watching you~"
"I know, I'm taking precautions against this. ”
Zhang Chen knew what Han Sanping was reminding him.
There are regulations for co-productions. It doesn’t mean that if you have domestic investment, you are a co-production.
There are strict regulations on the investment ratio and the ratio of the number of starring actors, and the filming must be done domestically.
The application process is also very complicated, including a letter of intent for cooperation, a script, visa and entry procedures, and review of the completed film. Even adding or removing foreign creative personnel midway must be reported to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for approval first.
The previous China-Hong Kong co-productions were not formal, even Cheng Long's "New Police Story" was like this.
But if Zhang Chen did this, there would definitely be a lot of people reporting him.
He has already thought about it. He plans to shoot both "Kowloon Walled City" and "A Quiet Place" in China. The former is just a dilapidated building and can be easily found.
There are not many scenes in the latter. Even the construction cost is lower than that of shooting in the United States.
"Then let's talk about the investment ratio?"
"No, Third Master, you can just mix it up with "A Quiet Place". After all, it is a Sino-US co-production, and "Kowloon Walled City" is so small. Are you involved in the cost? "
"Nonsense, that's a political achievement. The boss just mentioned it to me, and the co-production I participated in became a box office hit. What do you think the boss will think? "< br>
It turns out that this was what Mr. San had in mind.
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I won't ask for more of your share of the two movies. I will help you find the venue..."
...
After coming out of Zhongying, Zhang Chen returned to the company. As soon as he got downstairs, he was blocked by Chen Xi.
"Why are you here?"
"We are waiting for you. There are two plague gods sitting in the company now. Manager Dong specially asked me to give you a warning here..."< br>
“God of Plague? Two more, who is it?”
"Liu Tianxian and Jing Tian~"
Zhang Chen was surprised: "Why did they meet together?"
Chen Xi shrugged: "I don't know, I guess it was all because of that "A Quiet Place" "Didn't you tell them that the role of the heroine was already cast?"
"Do you still need me to tell you? You know, but they still come, probably because they think money can defeat everything.”
"To be honest, is it possible that the heroine this time will be captured by Qian Ability?" Chen Xi himself was full of curiosity.
"Absolutely impossible. In the past, the role was not important, so I asked them to help get "Painted Skin" passed the review.
But it didn't work this time. "A Quiet Place" was my work for Fan Xiao The acting skills of the two of them can't handle the role of a fat and tailor-made heroine.
And I also expect Fan Binbin to slap Zhang Ziyi in the face. With these two, it will be a slap in the face or a slap in the face. Face?”
