Chapter 758: Melaleuca

Night, hotel.
Xu Fei took a shower and walked to the big French window in shorts. On the glass is a body that is still full of charm, and a handsome face.
He did not know how many times he had been to Hong Kong, and every time he felt the same, small, narrow, and dense, completely different from the city in the movie.
At this moment, the lights are shining outside the window. Hong Kong people have forgotten the fear of the financial turmoil. As usual, the property market is strong.
1999 was the worst year for Hong Kong movies. October has passed. The champion is a Japanese movie "Midnight Ring", with a box office of only 31.24 million.
Called the weakest in history.
The second "King of Comedy", the third "Mummy", and the fourth "Glass Bottle". The myth of double Monday has also been broken.
Fifth is "My Savage Girlfriend", with a box office of 25.13 million. Zhang Baizhi's debut is the pinnacle, two works on the list, the limelight is immeasurable.
"Hey, Zhang Baizhi is the last actress to carry the flag in Hong Kong, and the female actor will not be picked up after that."
Thinking of the female role, he also thought of the golden age of Xia Yufanghong and Xianzhen Minxin...a little sad inexplicably.
As a veteran online literature enthusiast, online literature can reflect the prosperity or decline of a certain entertainment circle to a certain extent. He came from later generations, when Hong Kong entertainment industry had already declined.
"Boom boom boom!"
The knock on the door interrupted his divergence of thinking. After opening the door, Dou Shoufang and Lao Song stood outside.
Hiss!
When the two of them were surprised, how did they look up at their brother?
"Wow, I haven't seen you for a long time, your muscles are fine!"
"Exercise, oh yes, I'm going to be a father."
Hiss!
The two were shocked again, and handed over together: "Congratulations, congratulations, are you still planning to have a drink like this?"
"If I don't do it or not, I have to accept the gift. I will call you and prepare the gift list."
Xu Fei put on a vest and asked them to come in and sit down and exchange information.
"Yindu has joined the previous distribution channels with the two films "Lose is Empty" and "My Savage Girlfriend". Filmmakers in East Asia and Southeast Asia are very enthusiastic.
Oh, South Korea bought the rights of two films to prepare for a remake. "
Dou Shoufang has an excellent complexion and a successful middle-aged man with a successful career: "I don't know if I don't touch it. I'm surprised when I touch it. Koreans really like Hong Kong movies and have a feeling of worship.
The stars too, Leslie Cheung, Zhou Runfa, Wang Zuxian and so on, they are superstars over there. "
"You are localized very quickly, you will say that you are a superstar?"
"Ha, go with the flow!"
"How about "American Pie"?"
"The release was not ideal, and the sales of discs were OK, but we don't have our own audio and video channels, and we all cooperate with Meiya." Dou Shoufang said.
"It doesn't matter. I earned a little in Hollywood. Sunshine will establish its own audiovisual distribution. A new film "Chain Saw" is being shown over there. You don't need to introduce the theater chain, just go to the disc."
Xu Fei paused and went to the topic: "I'm here for two things this time.
First, if the two countries negotiate next month, if they succeed, the mainland market will quickly open up. I want Acorn and Sunshine to reach a cooperation, and Acorn will be responsible for the distribution of your works in the mainland. "
"Can private companies distribute Hong Kong movies?"
"The policy must be liberalized. I mean you have a good idea. Not only Sunshine, but Acorn will also take over most of the mainland distribution business of Hong Kong films."
This is Yu Dong's path. He started by publishing Hong Kong films and established a good relationship with those Hong Kong filmmakers. So when the collective northbound, first move closer to Bona.
With these resources, Bona established its status in the world in one fell swoop.
Xu Fei is not that complicated, just monopolizing the channels of Hong Kong movies.
"Secondly, Hong Kong films have fallen to the bottom this year, and the Sunshine is able to save the market. In the next few years, you will carry the flag one by one each year, and some of them will cooperate with me and China Film to cooperate with our plan.
Part of the spread of influence to East Asia and Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea are the biggest rivals, do not fight, but cooperate, and develop a co-production plan centered on us.
Some subjects cannot be shot in the mainland, so they have to be handed to you. "
"..."
Old Song spent a while before he understood what the other party meant, and asked, "Japan and South Korea may not be willing to invest in cooperation."
"The Cactus Club is very supportive, and it has a good relationship with Columbia and Sony Classic. With their American dad, don't worry."
This is the advantage of opening a trumpet.
Brother, this is my trumpet, don’t believe me, I’ll change my account and talk to you?
Immediately, Mr. Xu told a few stories, and the two of them were shocked.
Especially for the one that the mainland couldn't shoot, Lao Song's eyes flashed. If this can be done, the sunshine will be amazing!
………………
"You have chronic poison in your body. Will you kill a mother and daughter to save yourself?"
"why?!"
"This is the rule of the game!"
On the big screen, Adam listened to the dialogue in the tape recorder, and the screen flashed back to scenes, with a sense of the mystery being revealed.
It turned out that the doctor's wife and children were kidnapped, and the doctor and Adam were trapped in this secret room. Suspicion, trust, cooperation... just a game of death.
Just as the audience "suddenly realized", they suddenly let out another exclamation.
"OH, MYGOD!"
"Oh my god!"
I saw the body lying there in the middle of the room suddenly moved and slowly got up. He was wearing big shorts, his white T-shirt was covered with blood, and his head was covered with blood.
A large scalp seems to rot, and a honeycomb is as disgusting.
It's just that there is no sense of existence in the whole film. The audience regards him as a corpse guy, and now he gets up.
He stretched his neck with both hands on the ground, as if he had just been released from hell, adapting to his body. Then he reached out and grabbed the hair.
One tear!
"what!"
There were bursts of screams below, and at the same time an indescribable stimulus rushed through the body.
The movie deceived all the audience and surprised them. It turns out that this talent is the super devil, the creator of the game of death!
"Most people live without being grateful, you won't be anymore."
"GameOver!"
boom!
The big devil closed the door and the film ended.
...
In October, Hollywood is off-season, but it has always been a gathering place for low-cost, horror films.
"Human Removal Project" was released in the first half of the month, with a cost of 3 million US dollars, which exceeded 40 million.
"Chain Saw" was released in the second half of the month, costing 1.2 million yuan, and it cost 30 million yuan.
The two films are clearly in the runner-up and third-place positions. The first is "American Beauty" with an investment of 15 million, which has exceeded 100 million.
The three low-cost movies of the same month all achieved such good results, and Hollywood is also relatively rare.
"Chain Saw" is the most exaggerated, it only took 18 days to shoot, what does it rely on? It relies on being able to perform arts and military, Xueyue Fenghua!
"The last five minutes made me tremble!"
"The coolest horror movie in recent years!"
"It broke the bottleneck of routine and commercialization for many years, and the ingenious conception and unbridled violence brought the breath of the B-level horror film of the 1970s back to people's eyes."
"A morbid and crazy murderer, a grotesque and terrifying way of killing, and a meaningful central theme. Cactus has successfully launched another work!"
The actual box office of "Human Elimination Project" is more than 80 million, and that of "Chain Saw" is more than 50 million. The issuance capabilities of the two companies are limited and less, but they are already a big success.
Lionsgate is blooming, and Cactus is low-key every day, but that does not prevent them. They are the most eye-catching independent production companies in Hollywood this year.
Special cactus.
In just a few short years, the blind can see the potential of the two brands "American Pie" and "Chain Saw".
(and also……)
