Chapter 317: Is the new partner finally coming?

The Dunhuang brothers and sisters of the Luo family premiered in China in May. Of course, the domestic box office is difficult to count and there is no need to count.
In this era, if you want to make money in movies, you still have to go to the Hong Kong market, especially the markets in Taiwan, Nanbang, and Southeast Asia.
If you can break into Japan, it will really be awesome, because the combination of these markets is estimated to be comparable to the Japanese market.
Therefore, Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s will have so much to beautify Japan, please Japan, and forcibly add Japanese elements, because they have a big market!
This kind of thing is not shameful. Apart from the fact that a small number of people deliberately disparaging China's image to raise Japanese movies are disgusting, this strategy does make money from Japan, and it also gives Hong Kong movies a certain market in Japan. Many Hong Kong celebrities have become household names in Japan. Generally speaking, there is no problem, and even cultural exports can be counted.
What is really disgusting is that after thirty years, the Chinese market will be bigger than Japan at the moment, so Hollywood has also begun to deliberately add Chinese elements.
But those Chinese elements don’t seem to please Chinese people, maybe they want to do this, but under the impression of consistent American arrogance and stereotypes about China, especially the brainwashing of the media all year round, these Chinese elements are basically all Being a disgusting Chinese, the content of ugly Chinese is simply not in touch with beautification, and most of them cannot even explain the basic facts.
The most ridiculous thing is that Americans really intend to use these disgusting Chinese things to make Chinese money, and even make you a harlequin to lift you up and support you. You must be grateful. This is true. Disgusting.
Wu Jie does not want to think about these disgusting things. He only knows that the Taiwan market in the 1980s must not be considered. The two brothers and sisters of the Luo family are targeting Hong Kong, Nanbang, Southeast Asia, and Japan’s largest market in Asia before the millennium. .
The first stop is naturally the Hong Kong market. This "Dunhuang" was released in Hong Kong in mid-July through the resources of the "Silver Capital Agency" in Hong Kong.
This market is not difficult for them, after all, the investor of the film is "protection umbrella film and television", this is Wu Jie's company.
If he can make a guest appearance in the movie, it is not difficult to raise his banner to enter the Japanese market and even the European market.
In fact, this movie is really going to be released in the UK, but I'm afraid it will take at least a year to be released.
The relatively mature film censorship and introduction system in Europe is not comparable to the chaotic markets of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
If Chinese movies are going to be released in Europe and the Americas, the process will inevitably be extra long, and it will take two years for everything to go smoothly.
But the box office obtained in Hong Kong alone was enough to make the "Yindu Agency" and "Protection Umbrella" laugh out loud.
This is naturally due to the hard quality of the movie. Although Wu Jie’s eyes, this "Dunhuang" only achieved basic narrative smoothness in the plot, and then there were some small highlights in editing, mirroring, and soundtrack. .
But in terms of the film's conception and characterization, it still only stays at a relatively superficial level, and there is no deep connotation in the plot. It is a low-profile version of the War Wolf-style patriotic popcorn movie.
However, this quality is very good in the commercial films of the 1980s. It is not really these that attract people, but it can play an ultra-high score action in the 21st century.
The fast-paced narrative advancement of the whole film, sharp style editing, plus five minutes of a small hit, a very big hit scene, basically let the audience be in excitement and excitement all the time, even in the toilet Fear of missing the kind of good show.
And the most powerful thing is naturally all the fighting scenes, all of them are pure hands of two brothers and sisters, almost without any special effects.
But this kind of visual fist to the flesh has a full sense of power and actual combat, and at the same time it can achieve a more exciting action scene than dance. In Wu Jie's eyes, the threshold of art is almost felt!
So once this unprecedented movie was released, it quickly created a sensation in China that was far beyond the "Shaolin Temple" three years ago!
With their excellent appearance, the two siblings seem to have better skills than Jet Li, and naturally this sensation has been further expanded!
In mid-July, after the movie came to Hong Kong for release, it not only won the favor of most movie theaters and private movie theaters, but also caused a sensation in Hong Kong. There were few negative critics. "Dunhuang" The two words have been swiped in almost all newspapers!
"Dunhuang" has been released in Hong Kong for a month and a half, and almost every seat was full in the previous month. Many theaters came down in one day. This movie was released in Chengdu, which is far more popular than the "Shaolin Temple" two years ago. Films released in Hong Kong.
On the one hand, this popularity made the two brothers and sisters quickly become well-known superstars in Hong Kong, making the "Yindu Institution" and "Protection Umbrella" famous.
At the same time, other films released in Hong Kong during this time have encountered Waterloo, because when you see the "Dunhuang" that is crushed in any way, you can go to see those films that are crude and can't be done by the basic narrative. Sometimes, it really feels difficult to swallow.
So McDonald’s
Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers
fluttered the street, Gao Zhisen and Huang Baiming’s

fluttered the street, and even Jackie Chan’s
Fast Food Truck
itself was not of poor quality, but the release time was changed directly to September. Unwilling to compete with "Dunhuang" to affect the box office.
This is obviously a smart decision. The quality of "Fast Food Truck" is quite high, but Jackie Chan in 1984 has not been as appealing as later. If it is hard to hit when "Dunhuang" is released first, it will also touch the same!
The development of the matter is also the same. "Tie Ma Kuang", which was quickly completed by the two brothers and sisters, was released in the mainland in early September. The popularity of "Dun Huang" in Hong Kong is still slow.
At this time, you can see the audience with more than three "Dunhuang" tickets from almost any theater. The Hong Kong media survey concluded that more than 70% of the audience of the film will choose to watch the second time, because only It’s really not enjoyable to watch one side!
The accurate box office figures obtained by Wu Jie here will definitely make Hong Kong filmmakers fall into deep envy and jealousy, because only one month box office from mid-July to mid-August, this "Dunhuang" won 28 million in Hong Kong The Hong Kong dollar surpassed last year's Hong Kong box office's "Best Screening Magic".
But this is the box office of the first month. From mid-August to the end of August, although the box office of "Dunhuang" began to decline during this period, it still surpassed other movies of the same period, so the 30 million box office mark is definitely early. Just crossed.
The Hong Kong media is already predicting whether the film will set a new record, impacting this staggering new record of 40 million?
But for the two siblings, the Hong Kong market is still too small.
If this movie is put on a large scale in Japan, I am afraid it will create a box office figure that makes the world sensational.
Unfortunately, the film introduction and review process in Japan takes at least six months to complete.
In addition, the issuer of Japan and the division of Japanese theaters are also very black.
At this stage, they are undoubtedly in a disadvantaged position. This kind of cooperation can be divided into three cents in a dollar, and it is necessary to rely on the world's popularity and the high quality of the film to have the opportunity to talk.
So it is conceivable that this negotiation process will also be very time-consuming.
The problem for their two brothers and sisters is that they do not have enough global influence, not even Asian influence, which makes the quality of the film sufficient, and they still have to be exploited by Japan once. Even the 20% share is difficult to get.
However, 20% of the box office share is their bottom line, so some honorary bonuses are needed to facilitate the negotiation of the conditions with the issuers in Japan, Europe, and the Americas.
After thinking about it, the two brothers and sisters decided to let their new film "Iron Horse" participate in the International Film Festival in Venice in September.
If you can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, it is best to get the "Silver Lion Award" or a special jury award, which will allow them to fly over in international popularity, which is also the fastest way to accumulate international influence.
But when it comes to this "Tie Ma Kuang", it can be shot so quickly. In addition to the fact that this era does not require too elaborate post-production or computer special effects, it is because the shooting time of "Dunhuang" is too long.
Therefore, the script of "Tie Ma Kuang" has been written for a long time. Many of the scenes in the movie and even some of the shooting were carried out at the same time, including many staff and actors.
But even so, the film actually took a month and a half to complete.
Compared with Hong Kong movies that are so fast that there are no friends, this is actually not too amazing.
The colleagues in Hong Kong are quick. The most extreme speed is to give you a state that you can't even have from the script in a week. When the speed of light comes to the stage of approval and filming, do you want to be afraid?
This "Tie Ma Kuang" was polished for some time, and even laid a lot of foreshadowing for "Huang Feihong" at the end of the year.
Luo Wen naturally played Huang Qiying in this movie, and Tie Ma Kuang was changed into a female character, naturally played by Luo Xi.
The film still does not pursue too high a concept in the main body, and the plot and character creation do not require too much depth and connotation.
As long as these three aspects can be explained and communicated smoothly, people will not have a sense of disobedience.
However, in editing, mirroring, especially art and soundtrack, this "iron horse" still made a lot of effort.
For example, the soundtrack of "The Man Becomes Strong" has already been used in this movie, but he hasn't written or sung the song yet. This will not be used until "Huang Feihong".
The core selling point of this "Iron Horse" is the refreshing feeling of a dozen hits, and the high difficulty and beauty of martial art design. At the same time, it looks like it has a high combat effectiveness.
Luo Wen used the Shaolin Boxing with a hard bridge and a hard horse in the movie, while Luo Xi used Wing Chun. In the background, it was changed to the descendant of Yan Yong Chun. In fact, in this movie, she is the first protagonist.
However, the overall storyline has not been significantly changed, but the original version has been patched and optimized, such as the vulgar bridge section that comes with Hong Kong movies, this version will inevitably be reduced.
This type of commercial film should not be too literary, and it does not matter if it is "vulgar", but it can be more accepted by the public.
But "cheesy" is not enough. "Shit, urine, and farts" can't be shared with elegant and vulgar, that is, things that can't be on the table, are not really spoofs and unreasonable, and IQ will decline if you see too much.
The biggest difference in this version is that the lines are more flavorful than the original, and they are more reasonable. Basically, when it is serious, it is serious, when it is heated, and when it is joking, there is no longer a Hong Kong movie to make money as soon as possible. Comes impetuous and exaggerated.
The entire movie, regardless of the setting or line design, will give people a sense of turmoil before the advent of the troubled world, thus forming a sense of oppression from the inside out.
But through the confrontation between the protagonists and the evil, the audience can find a few hints of warmth in this darkness, letting people maintain hope in despair, and at the same time cutting down the modified laugh points can also play a icing on the cake, rather than taking the lead Effect.
As for the foreshadowing for the next "Huang Feihong", it is natural that the iron horse played by Luo Xi taught Xiao Huang Feihong a set of sticks.
There is an original version of this plot, but that set of sticks has no name. This version was changed to a six-thirty stick in Wing Chun, and it was also a foreshadowing for the future shooting of "Ye Wen".
In this movie, Luo Xi not only shows the two unique weapons in the Wing Chun Gate, the six-and-a-half stick and the eight choppers, but also the display of Wing Chun boxing.
Xiao Huang Feihong's cast in this movie, they found Zhao Wenzhuo who had just won the Junior Group Championship of the National Wushu Championship.
This character has been reset to short hands and feet in the movie. This skeleton is suitable for practicing leg technique, but it is not suitable for the punching method that Huang Qiying passed to him.
If Huang Feihong continues to practice like this, his future will be far worse than his father Huang Qiying.
Therefore, Luo Xi handed the six-thirty stick to Huang Feihong in a plot in the movie.
This stick technique is naturally the kung fu revealed during the first stick technique study with Nalan Yuanshu in the future. As for the shadowless feet, it is obviously Huang Feihong's unique martial art based on his own characteristics.
The two brothers and sisters of the Luo family are naturally not as dedicated to money as Hong Kong movies. They always have an IP fire, or a theme sells well. Everyone swarms to copy the trend, and often only highlights the word "fast" in the production process. , Including plotting is also "fast" and "fast", ignoring the coherence and rationality of the story, let alone operating IP.
But this "Tie Ma Kuang" is even rare in the original plane, because the original version can be connected with the true story in many places. This is obviously a bit of work.
Now that the two have optimized it, they hope that they can design a "Huang Feihong World", which will evolve into more movies around them, which will be provided to their own company's screenwriters and directors for free play.
Wu Jie also knew on the plane that this IP would definitely be popular in the entire Chinese cultural circle, and this "Tie Ma Kuang" would definitely surpass "Dunhuang" at the box office.
Although there are some gaps in the quality of these two films, "Dunhuang" is actually better in martial arts scenes. After all, each fight has been carefully designed, especially those light power (parkour) scenes are simply impressive. Difficult to breathe.
But the background of "Tie Ma Kuang" was in the late Qing Dynasty, and the place occurred in the south. It had nothing to do with the hammer and sickle, and did not care about political issues.
In addition, "Huang Qiying" and "Huang Feihong" are well-known names of Southerners. Therefore, after the release of this movie, it will definitely make Hong Kong and Macau, including Southeast Asia, more acceptable. At that time, it was difficult to think about the box office.
Wu Jie lay half on the chair and quietly used the database in the system to open the first part of "Huang Feihong Series".
This one is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the history of Hong Kong films, but the problem is still the quick success of Hong Kong films, and many details are lacking in polishing.
He can see that there are many ideas in the minds of screenwriters and directors, but he also knows that investors will not give them long enough time to polish, perfect, and dig deep.
So even this masterpiece in the history of Hong Kong film still lacks depth in the protagonist, the villain and supporting role are directly facialized, and there are many areas for improvement in the plot, but unfortunately the director and screenwriter have no time to go Complete these.
This situation also makes those excellent movies in Hong Kong often good at first glance, but it is difficult to arouse inner sympathy. It is a good-looking movie.
If you look at it a second time, it will be uncomfortable, because you will find too many loopholes, defects, childishness, and imperfection, which will greatly reduce the impression score of the whole movie. This has to be a pity~EbookFREE.me~Wu Jie When I was young, I was also very popular with Hong Kong movies. I would just think that these movies are exciting and beautiful, and not procrastinating.
But when his experience became higher, more and more movies were watched, and the Three Views became more and more perfect, he knew that even in the peak period, the so-called "Oriental Hollywood" name was not true.
As for loneliness, it is more normal. Although Hong Kong people always like to blame their problems on China, it seems that if they do not return to Hong Kong movies, they will not decline. In fact, the decline of Hong Kong movies is not only an inevitable result, but also earlier than It started before returning.
"Ding, new news..."
Wu Jie is considering how to get the title of "Oriental Hollywood" to be first acquired in mainland China. Although he doesn't like the name very much, he is confident that Chinese movies will directly replace Hong Kong from the beginning. He is also confident that Chinese movies will be released from eight The development began to accelerate in the mid-1990s.
At this time, a very unique system prompt sound sounded, and Wu Jie straightened up from the seat as soon as he heard it, because this was a special reminder sound effect of the resurrection doll he set.
So once this voice appears, it means that there are new partners to join...
