Chapter 1713 Old Monster Xu Becomes Famous!

The Hong Kong film scene during this period is also very lively now.

June is originally the outpost of the summer season, and it is much more important than May.

Many movies that don’t have the confidence to compete in the summer schedule, but don’t want to miss this good opportunity, are usually scheduled in June.

After all, "Happy Ghost 3" and "Hang Tian Pao 2" will be released in July.

"Sky Wars 2" features both Eddie Murphy and Simon Yam. Both of them are familiar stars in Hong Kong, and they have the foundation laid in the first film. Of course, the box office cannot be ignored.

Not to mention "Happy Ghost 3", with Happy Girls and the female team, even if it is a piece of shit, it will be brushed by students during the summer, and they will be brushed in groups. The kind to brush.

August is even more exaggerated.

"Mr. Zombie 4" and "The King of Flowers 2" will be released one after another.

Lin Zhengying, who set a box office record in Hong Kong and even Asia with "Mr. Zombie 3", has become popular in the entire Chinese circle with this movie.

The video tapes of the "Mr. Zombie" series are not only very popular among overseas Chinese circles, but are also liked by many foreigners, making United Artists Film Company, which is responsible for the video tape sales, profitable in dividends.

It is also for this reason that Baohe Company worked hard to obtain 10% of the video revenue for "Mr. Zombie 4" this time, which is very difficult.

No one will doubt the strength of the "Mr. Zombie" series, and no one will think that "Mr. Zombie" will hit the market. Everyone is unanimously optimistic about it.

To say which movie series can compete with "Mr. Zombie", I am afraid that the only one that was released behind it is "The King of Flowers".

Not to mention anything else, the series of female stars alone is enough to make countless fans crazy.

Of course, the only one that can see the grand occasion of goddesses gathering together is "The King of Flowers".

"Flower Flower 2", together with "Mr. Zombie 4", broke through 2,000 screens in theaters across Asia in one go.

It can also be seen from this that theater businessmen attach great importance to them.

In fact, the best result would be for the two movies to be released one in July and one in August, instead of just two weeks apart.

In this way, we can make full use of the box office time in the previous four weeks and achieve a very eye-catching result.

But neither Baohe Company nor Qilin Films could do anything about it.

Kirin Films has already released two movies in June and July - "Happy Ghost 3" and "Hangtian Pao 2". How could it arrange another "Overlord Flower 2" to occupy the screen?

If "The King of Flowers 2" goes there, it will grab the box office of "Happy Ghost 3" and "Hangtian Pao 2"!

Don’t say you can’t grab “The Overlord Flower”.

"Huntian Pao 2" is aimed at the global market, but in the Asian market it is not as influential as "Bawanghua 2", so it is definitely normal to be affected.

There are also "Happy Ghost 3", here are young and invincible girls. Over there, "Overlord Flower 2" is super beautiful girls who are fat and thin. Comparing the two, they really don't look good. Good choice.

So it can only be a lose-lose situation for both sides.

Therefore, no matter how stupid Qilin Films is, it is impossible to move "The King of Flowers 2" to July. It can only arrange it in August.

Although "Mr. Zombie 4" is also a heavyweight and terrifying opponent, it is still much better than fighting against your own people.

Back to the topic.

"Dao Ma Dan", released in mid-June, is Qilin Film's number one summer blockbuster.

When this kung fu movie, directed and produced by Xu Ke and starring Miao Qianren, Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, was released, Yu Zheng gave a lot of resources to promote it.

For Yin Jun's sake, Xiangjiang's theater chain has a total of 75 screens for joint screenings, and Asia's Kirin Cinema Line has also assembled 800 screens, which can be said to be the most powerful film arrangement in recent times.

But in the weekend after its release, the local box office of Xiangjiang was only 12 million, which disappointed many people.

But surprisingly, in other countries and regions in Asia, "Dao Ma Dan" won the first-week box office equivalent to HK$200 million, and at the same time shocked many people.

You know, the super popular blockbuster "Searching for Buddha" was released in mid-May. Both word-of-mouth and box office were overwhelming from the beginning. The Asian box office in the first week was only 30 million US dollars and about 230 million Hong Kong dollars!

Now, "Dao Ma Dan", which tells the story of a heroic heroine of the Republic of China, actually took 200 million at the box office without saying a word?

What makes people ponder the most is that it is not very popular in Hong Kong, but it has taken over the box office in other Asian countries and regions. Does this mean that the box office in Hong Kong can no longer be used as a criterion?

Fortunately, stimulated by the box office from other places, the box office in Hong Kong returned to normal in the second week. "Dao Ma Dan" took in a box office of 22 million Hong Kong dollars. In the second week, it was 10 million more than the first weekend. It was a complete reversal. Attacked!

But its box office performance across Asia was still impressive, and it actually took in HK$180 million in the second week, basically no decline.

With a box office of close to HK$420 million in two weeks, "Dao Ma Dan" has become the biggest dark horse this year.

Although a large part of the reason is because this movie is written by Yin Jun, otherwise it would be impossible for Xiangjiang and Asia's Kirin Cinemas to give such a high number of films, and there would be no possibility of a box office hit.

Another part of the reason is that the three heroines of this movie are all well-known stars in Asia.

Miao Qianren has been appearing in TV series and movies since the 1970s. She is not only a very famous female star in Hong Kong, but also very famous in Asia. She belongs to the kind of star who is a wife and goddess.

Needless to say, Zhong Chuhong, after several commercial and literary films, she has a hot and sexy appearance, and she has a high popularity in Japan and South Korea.

In terms of film acting career, Guan Zhilin is a little behind the previous two, but she is as beautiful as a fairy. She is also one of the most famous goddesses in fashion magazines. She has a lot of advertisements for international big names and leads the fashion in Asia. , plus she is Yin Jun's childhood sweetheart's girlfriend, so she is the most famous among the three.

Even if the movie starring the three of them is not as good as "The King of Flowers 2", it is not much different.

Of course, the above two reasons are very important to "Daoma Dan", but Xu Ke's contribution cannot be ignored.

In this movie, Xu Ke, who experienced the failure of "The Swordsman", found what he is best at - Xia!

Through the three girls, he fully and vividly demonstrated the various chivalrous spirits in "Daoma Dan".

The literary dramas and martial arts dramas one after another make people watch mesmerized and amazed!

In particular, the fights that combine various elements made the audiences in Japan, South Korea and other countries stunned. They thought, can girls fight so coolly and look so good?

This is also an important factor in the high box office.

All in all, the release of "Dao Ma Dan" is not only a good start for Qilin Film's summer season, but also Xu Ke, who has always been full of ambition, has also soared into the sky and become a dragon!

No matter which director is able to direct such a movie, he can certainly be called a first-class director.

Now that I have become a first-class director, I have a lot of autonomy.

For example, the King of Sunglasses made a movie called "Carmen" which was not too popular at the box office. He was able to recruit his own staff, shoot the script he came up with, and then screwed Deng Huanrong to death.

Xu Ke's starting point is much higher than Wang Jiawei's.

He was a good director when he was in New Art City. After opening his own studio, although "The Swordsman" was not too successful, it definitely did not fail.

The wonderful fighting scenes were also praised by people.

With the great success of "Dao Ma Dan", which he had been working on for a long time, Xu Ke finally received official recognition. Naturally, he could breathe a sigh of relief and make the movie he wanted to make.

The big directors in Hollywood all have three chances of failure, and directors like Xu Ke are no different in Hong Kong.

But this time, Xu Ke was not rash and turned some of his thoughts into a script.

Even some film company bosses came to him and wanted to offer him high prices to make movies, but Xu Ke politely refused.

It's not that he is timid, but that he has been thinking about Yin Jun wanting him to collaborate with Jet Li again.

Xu Ke admired Li Lianjie very much, both in his past life and in this life.

In this life, Xu Ke has watched the trilogy of "Shaolin Temple" more than twenty times in total, but he still hasn't had enough.

He praised Li Lianjie's wonderful performance in it, and felt that he was in line with the chivalrous spirit in his heart.

So even though he knew that Li Lianjie was not suitable for Linghu Chong in "The Swordsman", he still agreed with Yin Jun and arranged for him to join.

Although it was not successful, it was definitely not a failure.

This is what Yin Jun said to him and Li Lianjie.

So neither of them lost confidence.

So now, after more than a year, Xu Ke has finally proved himself and proved that he can still make good-looking movies and make hugely successful movies without changing his style!

So it was his turn to cooperate with Jet Li again and prove himself for the second time.

It was at this moment that Xu Ke got a new script from Yu Zheng.

its name is

"Once Upon a Time in the Sky".

Xu Ke was fascinated by the script from the first moment he saw it.

He read the script more than a dozen times in a row, which seriously affected his girlfriend Shi Lansheng's sleep, and drove him into the living room in anger.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ke stayed in the living room for three nights.

Then, like crazy, I started drawing scenes from "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" at home, leaving sketches everywhere in the house.

Moreover, he doesn’t even think about eating. He often puts down his chopsticks while eating, grabs a drawing board and pencil, and draws furiously.

Shi Lansheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry about this, but she was very pleased.

Because after my man achieved great success, not only did he not carry it, but he continued to meet the challenge with full energy.

This is a real man!
