420 [Xianxia Blockbuster]
The audience scolded him, but their evaluation of "Cannot Stop Love" is surprisingly good. In Hong Kong where comedy and kung fu films are rampant, there is a rare good film that is realistic and literary. Moreover, this film also contains entertainment commercial elements, which naturally has an extra attraction to the audience.
On the first day of Oriental Cinema's opening, the average attendance rate was only 52, but in just two days, the attendance rate increased to more than 60%. This attendance rate was particularly prominent in the off-season of the movie, with a cumulative box office of 2.89 million in three days, successfully defeating the same period of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The God of Commons" (Shaw Brothers) and "The Failure" (Produced by Darong and released by Princess Jin).
The popularity of "Cannot Stop Love" has not only caused the popularity of starring Zhang Guorong, Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen to rise, but director McDonald Jet has also been watched again.
To be honest, McDonald's fastest-leading director in DreamWorks actually has a lot of moisture in it. For example, McDonald's first movie "The Beautiful Girl" directed by him was all in charge from planning to shooting. McDonald's role is like an executive director. This time, "The Unstoppable Love" was provided by Kang Jianfei and perfected by Wen Jun. Even the storyboard was participated by McDonald's director. McDonald's director was extremely incompetent.
Some young directors at DreamWorks are quite jealous of McDonald, but they have to admit that McDonald's directorial strength is still very good, because he has also directed two campus comedies with a box office of over 10 million for DreamWorks.
The first movie I started selling was a hit, and Oriental Theater successfully took root, but Kang Jianfei was really worried.
After the show ended that night, Kang Jianfei slipped away as early as possible, otherwise several women would come together and he would not know who to accompany him.
That night, Kang Jianfei spent the night with Zhao Yazhi, and the next day he went to the company to arrange the preliminary preparation salary for "Love Saint". Guan Zhilin, the little fairy, ran over and pestered him, and flew around Kang Jian like a follower.
It's the fourth day now, and she will follow Kang Jianfei wherever she goes, making the bitch Fei unable to make an appointment with Zhong Chuhong.
For example, now, Kang Jianfei is creating a storyboard in his office, while Guan Zhilin is sitting on the side reading a fashion magazine, waiting for lunch with Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei threw down his pen and scratched his head, saying to Guan Zhilin, "Jiahui, don't you feel bored if you have nothing to do all day? Why not go and make a movie."
Guan Zhilin had been pestering Kang Jianfei for several days, but she felt a little tired of it. It was okay for the two of them to go shopping and eat, but it would be very uncomfortable to ask her to sit for a long time with Kang Jianfei to work.
Guan Zhilin closed the magazine and lay on Kang Jianfei's desk and said, "Okay, but I want to be the heroine."
Kang Jianfei remembered that Wang Jing was going to come to DreamWorks, which happened to allow him to shoot "Best Bad Friend" in advance, so the heroine let Guan Zhilin and Li Gongfeng play it.
Guan Zhilin walked behind Kang Jianfei, massaged his shoulders for a while, then pressed her chin on Kang Jianfei's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Brother Fei, why not play the heroine, would you be the director?"
Kang Jianfei patted Guan Zhilin's back of her hand and comforted her: "Be good, I have a movie on hand now. How about letting Wang Jing be the director?"
"It's the fat guy who is very vulgar with glasses?" Guan Zhilin still had some impression of Wang Jing.
"Yes, it's that wretched fat man." Kang Jianfei said and called Zeng Bolin in, "Alin, please contact Wang Jing and ask him to come to the company."
Zeng Bolin asked: "When?"
Kang Jianfei said: "It's okay tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Zeng Bolin left the office, Guan Zhilin stayed bored for a while. Looking at Kang Jianfei in the grid where the script was drawn, she recommended herself: "Brother Fei, I'll help you."
"Do you know?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Guan Zhilin said: "It's just a lattice, what's wrong with it?"
Kang Jianfei asked Guan Zhilin to sit on his lap, hugged Guan Meiren's slender waist, sniffed her hair and said: "The five vertical grids are drawn, namely the camera, time, picture, subtitles, narration, and the column of the picture should be wider."
If Guan Zhilin was asked to do these trivial things seriously, she would definitely be annoyed if she painted for a while. However, now she hugged Kang Jianfei and drew plaids, Guan Zhilin felt happy and was just like playing games.
After finishing drawing a page of A4 paper, Guan Zhilin couldn't help but say, "Brother Fei, why don't you print this form first? You'll waste time drawing it yourself every time."
"In the past, I often wrote and played on white paper, but I got used to drawing plaids by myself." Kang Jianfei explained perfunctorily.
After drawing two more pages of grids, Guan Zhilin threw the pen aside and picked up the storyboard written by Kang Jianfei and read it. As an actor, she used to read the script of text, but now she reads the director's script, but now she feels boring and boring when reading the director's script.
Within a few minutes, Guan Zhilin put down the script and picked up the comic-like storyboard designs next to her. Now she finally became interested and teased while looking: "Brother Fei, your painter is so ugly, and your head is bigger than your body."
"You don't understand, this is called anime style." Kang Jianfei laughed.
"Dingling..."
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Guan Zhilin rushed to answer the phone. If it was called by another woman, she could hang up for Kang Jianfei. Yesterday, she hung up Lin Qingxia's phone, which made Kang Jianfei quietly call Lin Qingxia to apologize and explain for a long time.
It was indeed a woman on the phone, but it was the voice of secretary Chen Shuli: "Boss, Xu Ke and Shi Nan are born."
Guan Zhilin covered the phone and leaned into Kang Jianfei's ear and said, "It was Xu Ke and Shi Nan who were born."
Kang Jianfei said: "Let them come in."
Only then did Guan Zhilin clear her throat, picked up the phone number and issued an order, "Let them come in."
Kang Jianfei slapped Guan Zhilin's buttocks and smiled, "I can't get it back!"
Guan Zhilin curled up in Kang Jianfei's words and said coquettishly: "No, you kiss me first."
Kang Jianfei lowered his head and pecked her face, and Guan Zhilin got up from his legs and quickly tidied up her clothes.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Please come in!"
Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng walked in one after another, Guan Zhilin played the role of the little secretary, took the cup from Chen Shuli, and helped Xu and Shi make coffee.
After Tsui Hark sat down with his wife, Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "You two have fun in the mainland, right?"
"Well, it's quite eye-opening." Xu Ke replied awkwardly, because Kang Jianfei gave him tens of millions of dollars to invest in filming, he only had to overturn the shooting plan and start over again after filming for half a month. No matter how thick-skinned people are, they will be ashamed.
If Kang Jianfei was angry, he would have been pissed to death. He said lightly: "Tell me, what are you thinking now."
"Thank you," Xu Ke thanked Guan Zhilin, who brought the instant coffee, and then took a notebook handed over by Shi Nansheng, opened it and put it in front of Kang Jianfei and said: "Mr. Kang, this time I went to the mainland. The beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland are so shocking. Every day when filming, new ideas popped up from my mind. I re-cluttered the plot and added some new characters and forces, but the plot structure is too large and a movie cannot be finished."
After making coffee, Guan Zhilin stood behind Kang Jianfei, like a caring little maid.
Kang Jianfei picked up the purple clay pot and took a sip of tea, and asked, "Are you going to make a series?"
"Mr. Kang, please read it," Xu Ke opened the book he brought, "I am going to make "Shushan" into a trilogy, using the original immortal catastrophe and Emei sword competition as clues... As for the shooting location, I am going to shoot it in Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, Jiuzhaigou, Shunan Bamboo Sea, Zhangjiazhai, Changbai Mountain, Qiandao Lake, Huangshan, Huashan, Lijiang River, Dunhuang and Dongting Lake."
Kang Jianfei only heard what Xu Ke said, and knew that this guy was going to have a big fight, which was very different from the original version of "Shushan" in his memory.
Kang Jianfei didn't go to see the new script sent by Xu Ke, and asked straight to the topic: "I'm afraid the budget is quite large, right?"
Xu Ke pursed his lips, as if it was a bit difficult to speak. Shi Nansheng continued: "I made a preliminary budget. If I want to make a good film, the budget for one movie will be at least 50 million."
Are you really treating me as a stupid person and having a lot of money?
Kang Jianfei was both angry and funny and said, "If I finished filming the "Shushan" trilogy, wouldn't it cost 150 million?"
Xu Ke also felt embarrassed, because 150 million yuan is an unimaginable astronomical figure for Hong Kong films with an average production fee of only two or three million yuan.
"I think if it can operate well, 150 million yuan can still make a lot of box office," Shi Nansheng tried to convince Kang Jianfei, "the single part only costs 50 million yuan, and the cost is not as expensive as Jiahe and DreamWorks cooperated with "The Deadly Express" to burn."
Kang Jianfei shook his head and said, "The problem is that movies with fairy tale themes are difficult to sell box offices in Europe and the United States, so it is really difficult to recover the cost."
Shi Nansheng said: "I don't think so. Who could have expected that Bruce Lee would be accepted by the European and American markets before? Now we are going to shoot a fairy tale blockbuster made with real scenes and special effects. Even if Westerners cannot understand the connotation of fairy tale, the picture alone is enough to shock people."
Kang Jianfei remembered Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and felt a little moved. He glanced at the script brought by Xu Ke and said, "You guys go back first and wait for the news. I'll check the script before talking about it."
"Okay, let's not disturb Mr. Kang." Xu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Kang Jianfei would refuse to invest directly.
After the two left, Guan Zhilin stared at the script in Kang Jianfei's hand and asked, "Are you really planning to invest more than 100 million to make a movie for Xu Ke?"
"Not decided yet." Kang Jianfei opened the script, and the beginning of the story was the great catastrophe of gods five hundred years ago.
Guan Zhilin wants to advise Kang Jianfei not to invest. 150 million is enough for her to spend her whole life. It would be a pity if the box office was lost after filming. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
