Chapter 700 Majestic Blue

(ffff: You know!)

More than a month later, "Mr. Zombie" not only broke the box office record of "Best Partner" in Hong Kong, but also pushed this record to a height of 25 million.

For such a super record, other filmmakers can only envy, jealous and hate, and they can't even arouse any fantasy thoughts of breaking this plan.

Many people even think that Wu Cheng himself can break this box office record. Because he is the only one who can launch such a great power and organize such a huge movie viewing craze. Of course, it is a bit sour inside and outside, it is actually a bit unfair to win. Wu Cheng really thought that if it really doesn't work, Hong Xing would take action.

But the problem is that he didn't explain at all, and Hong Xing took the initiative to help.

Can he blame him for breaking the rules?

Of course, people are also overcooked, and some are also happy. Especially Wu Cheng’s fans, when they hear such sour sarcastic words, some people will respond disdainfully: Wu Cheng can let Hongxing’s members form groups to watch movies independently, that is, Wu Cheng has the ability! If you don’t agree, you can also try to become the idol of the leader!

However, when the box office exceeded 20 million and everyone wanted to find the entertainment journalist to come out with "Guben", the entertainment journalist had long since nowhere to go.

Now, everyone knows that when Wu Cheng said, "Do you want to make a bet?", it is better not to go up by yourself. It is definitely a foolish act!

In addition to the unprecedented success of Xiangjiang, the box office of this movie is also not bad overseas, especially in Southeast Asia. However, North America is not satisfactory.

For example, in the movie, they use breathing to escape the pursuit of zombies. They will think it is unscientific. Why do zombies use breathing to discover enemies? Do they have eyes?

OK! This kind of fatal pit brought about by the differences between East and West cultural areas is unsolvable.

Zombie movies like this are completely fantasy things. Can they be explained by science?

Therefore, only those who will watch this movie are Chinese.

However, although the box office there was unsatisfactory, if it was exchanged for Hong Kong dollars, it was still higher than that of Hong Kong, reaching more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is conceivable how huge the ticket warehouse in North America is.

Of course, if you compare it, it is naturally more profitable to go to North America to film. Some North American media even joked about Wu Cheng with this box office result. After all, compared with the box office of "The Love of Man and Ghost" of hundreds of millions of dollars, "Mr. Zombie" has a box office of only 70 to 8 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit ugly.

This "Mr. Zombie" was not released simultaneously around the world. Some places were late, some places were early, and some places simply "can't get in". In comparison, the money earned by the movie "The Love of Man and Ghost" is dozens of times that of the movie "Mr. Zombie".

This is also why Lansing and the others wonder why Wu Cheng wanted to go back to Xiangjiang to film. He could clearly grasp the tastes of North American audiences and make more valuable movies, but he just gave up willfully, which was simply difficult to understand!

Wu Cheng, who does his own way, will naturally not explain anything to them, and he will not be able to tell the real reason, so he can only continue to do his own way.

Anyway, in everyone's opinion, he is a representative figure of "rich and willful".

When the drama "Mr. Zombie" is about to be painted, the end of the year is approaching. As the great director of this drama, Wu Cheng is very leisurely and goes to the company to work every day to deal with the company's affairs.

However, the other actors in the film are so popular and busy, especially Lou Nanguang.

It is normal for the Lin Zhenying fire to be foreseen and it was long ago.

However, Liu Guanwei had already written another drama with him and was about to start filming. Therefore, although Lin Zhenying received many film appointments, he directly refused.

As for Xu Guanying, he was not very popular at first, but now he is just adding more to the point. Moreover, the Xu brothers have also prepared their own films. Although Xu Guanying has been constantly offering invitations, she has not accepted those films.

Lou Nanguang is different because next, this guy didn’t have any drama appointments... It should be said that the company did not prepare any dramas for him, so he kept making film appointments, but he refused everyone.

Now there are many movies about "Mr. Zombie", and no one can find Lin Zhenying and Xu Guanying... Even if Wu Cheng is not allowed, the pay is so high that it is so high. If he is invited, the pay can be made for a blockbuster.

The pay Wu Cheng offered himself is now settled directly by box office share. After all, he is filming for himself. If he doesn't do this, the investment will be too great.

But if other companies want to hire him, the pay would be a bit scary.

The director's pay is at least one million, and the unit is still US dollars. The starring pay will be a little lower, but it will start at least 500,000 US dollars. The combined price of the two will cost 600,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Six or seven million Hong Kong dollars, in Hong Kong, it is definitely a blockbuster. The movie "Mr. Zombie" has only cost less than eight million Hong Kong dollars, plus the promotional expenses.

But Lou Nanguang is different. This guy is a newcomer, his salary is not high, but his value is not small.

After all, the only newcomer Lou Nanguang can be easily received in the entire "Mr. Zombie".

When Mr. Zombie was drawn, a bunch of zombie films emerged.

When "Mr. Zombie" was released, they didn't dare to use these films, but after it was painted, these films became a little unscrupulous.

In this regard, Wu Cheng could only sigh that the speed of filming by Xiangjiang filmmakers is really first-class.

Liu Guanwei and Lin Zhenying have long been preparing their own follow-up films, but they have just started filming... This new film has not appeared in Wu Cheng's memory. It can be said to be a new and innovative movie.

In addition to Lin Zhenying, there is no Xu Guanying, but Zeng Zhiwei, two blokes, Chen Baixiang, and the role of Zeng Zhiwei. In the film, he plays a role like Wen Cai, and is a assistant and an apprentice with the protagonist played by Lin Zhenying. Chen Baixiang has a role like Lou Nanguang, but in the film, he plays a very cheap and playful young man.

The background of the film is in the city, telling the story of the protagonist Lin Zhenying exorcising ghosts in the city. In order to make the audience feel more immersive, the protagonist is set as the descendant of Uncle Jiu. The times are changing, and exorcising ghosts and evil things are no longer like they used to, but are changing with the great times. He is usually an ordinary incense and candle shop owner, but secretly an exorcising master.

Such a story setting is still very novel for the current Xiangjiang movies.

Originally, Liu Guanwei wanted to continue the sequel to "Mr. Zombie", but after being reminded by Wu Cheng, he realized that perhaps putting the background in the city would lead to unexpected gains.

The strange combination of Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang is naturally responsible for the funny ones, while Lin Zhenying has always maintained his cold and humorous personality... With his serious face, doing other funny things is not very suitable. Moreover, with the combination of him, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang, the jokes he created really give people a refreshing feeling.

Wu Cheng estimated that if you don’t know how high the box office is, you will definitely not lose money if you lose money.

It may even be that as soon as this film comes out, the following films of urban exorcism will appear one after another in the future. After all, compared to it, it is much easier to shoot urban exorcism than to shoot ancient costumes.

At least it is very easy to find the scene. Unlike shooting costume films, you have to set up the scenes yourself. If you invest less in this area, you will feel like you are petty.

As soon as those movies that followed the trend of "Mr. Zombie" came out, the media in Hong Kong became lively, and there were a lot of curses. Because compared with "Mr. Zombie", most of the movies that followed were small investments, and the scenes were small and the plot was also full of strange things.

But it was fine at the beginning. After all, the audience's appetite for being hung up by "Mr. Zombie" was not saturated, and such a film was urgently needed to meet their movie needs.

However, after watching it, the scolding became even more.

But those filmmakers didn't care about this and were happily counting the money.

Although the box office results cannot be compared with Mr. Zombie, it is absolutely no problem to invest in hundreds of thousands of movies and make some money and spend money.

Wu Cheng happily looked at these film reviews, then drank tea and flirted with girls. Life was simply too comfortable. And it was almost over the past year, and the company had nothing to do except hold meetings and distribute year-end bonuses.

"Boss, Mr. Chen, the editor-in-chief of the Movie Biweekly, is here!"

Just as Wu Cheng was watching the film reviews of the secret music, Le Yiling pushed the door and said to him.

Wu Cheng put down the newspaper and nodded, "Take him in!"

"Wu Sheng, didn't disturb your work!" Chen Bosheng said to Wu Cheng with a smile.

Wu Cheng stood up and smiled and said, "Editor Chen, don't be polite, sit down! Xiaole, send two cups of coffee in!" Wu Cheng led Chen Bosheng to the hospitality area next to him and sat down, while urging Le Yiling.

Chen Bosheng sat down and smiled and said, "Wu Sheng has once again broken the box office record of Xiangjiang movies. It is estimated that no one will be able to break this record for a long time!"

Wu Chengwen said with a smile: "I guess many people scold me in their hearts! I said that I was a box office that was smashed, ha..."

"Haha, this is just that some people are jealous." Chen Bosheng chuckled: "Wu Sheng can become someone else's idol and make his fans willing to pay for it. This is also one of his abilities. Some people do not have this ability and blame others, which is actually just jealous."
