567 [Temptation. Temptation Girl]
The movies made by Wang Jing may not have a good reputation, but they will definitely make investors a lot of money. Similarly, this guy is the director who is the best at packaging and promoting actresses among all Hong Kong directors.
In another time and space, actresses such as Guan Zhilin, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Lizhen, Shu Qi, and Lin Xilei made their debut in Wang Jing's movies, or shined in Wang Jing's movies, soared in Wang Jing's money. It can be said that these people all became popular when filming Wang Jing's movies.
Take Qiu Shuzhen as an example. Initially, due to the requirements of TVB, Wang Jing appeared as a young jade girl in his movies. Under this situation, Qiu Shuzhen was very popular in TV, but as a movie star, she has always been lukewarm and difficult to stand out. Later, after Qiu Shuzhen completed her contract with TVB, Wang Jing planned to transform Qiu Shuzhen from a pure jade girl to a sexy actress.
Qiu Shuzhen's transformation is sexy, and she does not become famous or exaggerate scandals like other actresses. Wang Jing spent a high price to invite French fashion stylists to comprehensively analyze Qiu Shuzhen's image from body shape, face shape to collarbone, and fingers, to develop a promotion plan for Qiu Shuzhen's image packaging and promotion.
After this preparation, Qiu Shuzhen's sexyness was completely alienated from those porn stars, giving people the feeling of being gorgeous but not vulgar, charming but not demonic. She clearly showed nothing, but it could make men unable to stop.
During the years when Qiu Shuzhen became popular, as long as she played a small role in that movie and twisted her waist and showed a smile, she could attract countless male audiences to flock to the cinema.
These are all the contributions of the King's Sutra.
The filming of "Best Bad Friends 2" gave Wang Jing a headache because Kang Jianfei made a speech. I hope Wang Jing can make Lan Jieying famous with this film, and it is best to make a breakthrough in image.
Wang Jing racked his brains and couldn't think of any good idea, because Lan Jieying's delicate appearance was really unsatisfactory. The scandals that had been hotly hyped some time ago also made Lan Jieying unable to continue to maintain her image as a jade girl, and it was really difficult to determine her star image.
"Best Bad Friends 2" is a medium-cost movie with a budget of 5 million yuan. Zhang Guorong's salary alone accounts for hundreds of thousands of yuan, so it is naturally impossible to spend money to hire a French fashion stylist for Lan Jieying.
Wang Jing had to go to discuss with the stylist of Oriental Entertainment Company, and spent two weeks taking photos and researching to select the sexiest and tempting parts and angles of Lan Jieying's body. Then he spent time selecting customized clothing for Lan Jieying.
The result of everyone's efforts has now appeared on the big screen.
In the movie, Lan Jieying met with the rich young man played by Zhang Guorong. It was a chance encounter at a dance party. Lan Jieying appeared in a dress, just like Cinderella became Snow White. Her temperament that was intertwined with innocence and sexiness, and the combination of purity and charm instantly amazes the audience. It also attracted all the male audiences in the midnight show.
After the dance, Lan Jieying in the movie was encouraged by her two best friends Mao Shunyun and Chen Jialing, and she dressed up every time she appeared in order to catch up with Zhang Guorong, the young man, but she accidentally had conflicts and quarreled with her due to various misunderstandings.
At this time, Wang Jing was not the money-making director who only knows how to make money by making money. In terms of the content quality of the movie, comedy can definitely rank among the top three among Hong Kong directors.
Wang Jing picked up all kinds of jokes, which made the audience in the screening room laugh, and while laughing, the male audience had a subtle change in their senses towards Lan Jieying.
In the first quarter of the movie, Lan Jieying is an ugly duckling wearing glasses. But her image has changed drastically since the dance. Every time she appears on the scene, she has to change her outfit. She has 17 sets of performance costumes alone.
If Kang Jianfei was asked to watch this movie, you can feel at a glance that Lan Jieying is essentially another version of Qiu Shuzhen, and the combination of purity and sexy was well grasped by Wang Jing.
At this time, Qiu Shuzhen had not made her debut. For the midnight audience, they were just attracted by Lan Jieying. Some wretched men even kept swallowing their saliva when they watched.
"I didn't expect that Lan Jieying had such a good figure, and I didn't know it before."
"A good figure is not the most important thing. Her eyes are so seductive. At first glance, she is pretending to be pure."
"Among Yim is not **, she doesn't even have a boyfriend."
"Yeah, little brother, how old are you? Don't learn to see the midnight event in a kid."
"I'm not a child, I'll graduate from high school next year."
"You're better, I'll take you to deflower another day, so I'll look for a slutty like Lan Jieying."
"You are not allowed to say she is sexy!"
"Don't you, a little boy dares to talk to me like this!"
“…”
There was a fight at the entrance of the cinema because of Lan Jieying, which attracted a lot of people to watch, but Lan Jieying had already left the midnight venue with her best friend and went home.
No matter how they scolded **, bitch, but there were still countless people making money into the cinema, and a few male audiences even secretly bought tickets several times just to get hooked on the way Lan Jieying looked in the film.
"Best Bad Friends 2" made 13.92 million yuan in non-golden periods. In it, Zhang Guorong's handsomeness and Lan Jieying's charm, as well as the funnyness of supporting roles such as Liang Jiahui, Mao Shunyun, Lou Languang, and Chen Jialing have all become important factors in attracting money from this movie.
Lan Jieying inexplicably changed from a TVB jade girl to a popular sexy "pornstar", and also won the title of "tempting girl". It's a pity that she showed three points in "Best Bad Friends 2", not to mention showing her thighs several times, and her biggest scale was wearing low-cut and backless outfits.
Kang Jianfei, who was filming in the desert on the border of the United States, never expected that Wang Jing would create another version of Qiu Shuzhen in advance. After he returned to Hong Kong, he could only sigh that Wang Jing was a talented person and was far better at packaging and promoting female stars than himself. At least Kang Jianfei never thought that Lan Jieying could still take the sexy route.
The success of "Best Bad Friends 2" not only made Lan Jieying famous, but also made Wang Jing's director's name even louder. Before the film was released, he signed a director's contract for two dramas in a row. One of the investors was Xiang Huaqiang's Yongsheng Film Company, and the other was a wealthy Malay businessman who spent money. He filmed in the name of Zeng Zhiwei's "Good Friends Company", and his main box office target was set in the Nanyang market.
Several major film companies have been preparing for summer blockbusters during this period. Due to the "diligence" of the three shareholders, the New Art City has barely recovered the decline of last year, but it is no longer the sharpness and upward momentum of the company when it was first established.
Cheng Long is going to have a big game again this year. His preliminary preparations for "Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" have been basically completed and will go to Europe to shoot next month. The female lead and the second male lead are Laura Fangna and Alan Tam, but the second female lead has changed from Guan Zhilin to Zhang Manyu.
As for the reason, Guan Meiren is now enjoying a life of luxury. Except for Kang Jianfei, no one can invite her to come out to film.
"Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" is a large production with a long shooting cycle, and it will definitely not be able to catch up with the summer season. It will most likely be released in the Christmas season or the Spring Festival season half a year later.
This year's Jiahe summer season's main film is "The Ghost of the Ghost" directed and acted by Sammo Hung. This movie emerged because of the butterfly effect, combining the popular spiritual fantasy kung fu film and the lucky star series, which is basically a fashion spiritual fantasy kung fu comedy.
As for the movie "Best Lucky Star" that Mecca and her partner were pulled out by Zeng Zhiwei and then attracted Sammo Hung, who had a conflict with Jiahe. The three of them filmed the good box office, this time and space will probably not appear.
Because Zeng Zhiwei's good friend's company is on the right track, and Mecca and Huang Baiming and Shi Tian are temporarily reconciling, and Jiahe also gave Hong Jinbao more benefits because of last year's "The Rich Train" incident. Three guys who are short of money and dissatisfied may combine to shoot movies, but now everyone is satisfied with the status quo, but there will be no strange incident in which the three of them betrayed their own company to cooperate with movies.
In addition to Xinyi City and Jiahe, other independent film companies are also shooting movies wildly.
I have to mention here that the establishment of Xinbao Cinema and the influx of large amounts of overseas investment have led to the emergence of independent film companies in Hong Kong last year and in the past.
The increase in the number of films has brought about an increase in demand for film practitioners. Not only are a large number of Hong Kong people joining the ranks of behind-the-scenes and actors, but first- and second-tier stars are also in short supply.
Especially those actors who have box office appeal in Nanyang and Taiwan are simply a series of filming. While the business of Oriental Entertainment brokerage companies has grown a lot, the phenomenon of job-changing has also begun to increase.
Of course, newcomers and young actors are not qualified to change jobs, and those who have the conditions and want to change jobs are those first-line actors. In the past, they joined Oriental Entertainment because of the film and television resources of DreamWorks. Now the production of Hong Kong films has increased significantly. These popular actors are not worried about not having any chance to take on them, so they are naturally unwilling to work hard on filming themselves, but the company has withdrawn several percent of the commissions.
If it weren't for the high liquidated damages, I'm afraid that most of the popular actors from Oriental Entertainment would have left. Even so, they have left several first-tier and quasi-first-tier movie stars in the past two years.
Kang Jianfei did not pay too much attention to these stars who were promoted by Oriental Entertainment and changed jobs, and only asked DreamWorks not to ask them to film in the future. Any movies starring these people will not be released by Oriental Theater Company, and Phoenix TV will not be allowed to broadcast any programs about these actors.
To put it simply, it is a full-scale ban. Of course, this ban is secretly, and Kang Jianfei will not make people publicize it.
In addition to job-changing, the impact of Hong Kong films has been collectively improved by the pay of Hong Kong film stars.
Not to mention the special case of Cheng Long, Xu Guanjie, and Lin Qingxia. In the past two years, the pay of first-line male actors in Hong Kong had been 600,000 yuan, but now it has increased to about 800,000 yuan. Some actors even paid more than 1 million yuan, and the average pay of first-line actresses has also increased to more than 500,000 yuan.
This situation is a good thing for actors, but not for producers and directors, and audiences.
The actual box office revenue of Hong Kong films has not increased much. The overall increase in actor pay means that the cost of the film increases. If the producer wants to control the cost, he has to reduce the expenditure in other aspects of the filming, which has led to an increase in the proportion of actor pay in the film production cost.
When a popular movie star accounts for half of the cost of a movie, you can think of it with your brain how bad the content of the movie is.
The current Hong Kong star pay has not reached that level, but it is also moving towards that trend. For example, the filming cost of "Best Bad Friends 2" is 5 million, while the male protagonist Zhang Guorong's salary is 750,000 yuan, accounting for nearly one-sixth of the film budget.
If you continue to play like this step by step, Hong Kong filmmakers will sooner or later suffer.
Of course, the abnormal growth in movie star pay is not only in Hong Kong, but also in Hollywood, which at least has no big impact on the development of Hong Kong films for the time being.
Putting aside the movies of major companies, Beyond, which has signed a contract with Fengxing Records for more than half a year, has finally written all the songs of the first record. It is being recorded nervously and is expected to be released during the students' holiday.
In addition, the beauty pageant between Miss Hong Kong and Sister Dong has also begun. The registration and screening work on both sides has ended, but this lottery draw was Miss Oriental before Miss Hong Kong. (To be continued...)
