Chapter 211 That’s not what you said when you talked to me last time!

On November 14, during the Shaolin football offensive, in a private room of a hotel in Yau Ma Tei, Li Ming, Aaron Kwok and Kwan Li-jie were drinking tea and chatting.

After chatting for a while, Li Ming raised his wrist to check the time, "Pushing, why hasn't Ah Jian Na Diao Mao come yet? Are you half an hour late?"

As soon as the curse came out, there was a knock on the door. Zheng Yijian pushed the door open and came in with an apologetic smile on his face, "Sorry, there was a traffic jam and I kept you guys waiting for a long time."

Ah Jian, right? In the original trajectory, with the popularity of the Young and Dangerous series, the group of brothers have almost maintained a friendship for decades. This is the F4 debut. For a long time, he has been in a relationship with the other three handsome boys.

It's always been pretty good.

Under laughter, Guan Lijie directly grabbed a paper ball and threw it at it, "Traffic jam? You are probably obsessed with playing video games when you rush into the street, so you deliberately made us wait."

"Good guy, Twilight hasn't even been released yet, and you're so crazy. How can you take us seriously in the future? I'll have to call you Brother Jian when I go out."

This was a joke between good friends, but Zheng Yi Jian was obviously embarrassed, as if he felt guilty after being criticized.

This also made Guan Lijie stunned, "Damn it, you are really too late to play games?!"

At this point, Li Ming didn't know what to say for a moment... Aaron Kwok laughed again, "Forget it, the hobby of playing games is at least many times better than gambling and drug addiction."

"By the way, let's form a group and go to North America to promote it. Have you finished practicing your songs?"

In the original track, countless celebrities and idols have collapsed, and the most stable one is probably Zheng Yijian, who has been addicted to games all his life.

Although Twilight Zone 1 is home and starring E-Kian Cheng, F4 is currently defined as the same team... When it gets there, it will definitely be done together with Zhou Xingxing's Shaolin Football Drama Team.

If we talk about interviews on ATV programs and Tan Yonglin's concerts in Taiwan, Xing Zai and A Le sang many times (Shaolin Kung Fu is good), which is a kind of bridge that brings comedy plots from movies to reality.

Then Zhang Guorong, Andy Lau and the F4 in front of them went to Europe and the United States to hold concerts together. This is a real concert promotion model. The title song?

Of course it was created for Shaolin Football (Cup of Life), which was the official theme song of the 1998 World Cup.

How popular is this song?

How many people sang "Go, go, go! Allez, Allez, Allez!" directly when they saw it? The original Shaolin Football episode, soundtracked by Huang Yinghua (Double Dragon) is also a classic and very passionate.

Classic soundtrack.

Zhao Donghuai also released the basic soundtrack for this Double Dragon.

But how about pure music, compared to a song like "Cup of Life" that has a super live performance atmosphere? Or is the latter more quality? The live version of a good song with vigorous singing and dancing can better arouse the emotions of fans.

Zhang Guorong and Liu Dehua sang together and recorded a single album long before they went to South Korea to film or go on a concert tour.

This is also the theme song of (Shaolin Football).

At this stage, the theme song can be recorded and released to the world together with the movie.

Since the two movies are released so close to each other, promoting Ah Wing and Hua Zai is promotion, and letting F4 also promote it is just a way...

Zheng Yijian nodded excitedly, "My English is okay. I can basically communicate with Gui Lao on a daily basis now. The English version is easy to practice, but the Spanish version is a bit convoluted. I still feel that I don't have the confidence to sing live."

Why produce a Spanish version? One is a football kingdom like Badong, including all of South America, where there are still many Spanish-speaking people, and it is also the main audience.

The other is a two-language version that can be sung twice!

The singles have all been recorded, and the songs in both languages ​​are included in the same single album. Selling money is not a big deal, it can be regarded as a gift of one more song as a gift of friendship.

Let’s not talk about how much money this single album can sell, let’s just say that good songs drive box office revenue... It can also add support points to Shaolin Football. Originally, it only relied on the quality of kung fu and special effects. If Shaolin Football can earn 6,000 in North America

At a box office of more than 10,000 US dollars.

If Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, and F4 hold a concert tour together (Cup of Life), can they at least add millions of dollars in revenue? Europe will only gain more points, because Europe is the most popular football sport.

In contrast, basketball, football, etc. are more popular in North America.

After listening to A Jian's complaints, Aaron Kwok smiled even more happily, "It's okay. Brother Ming and I will lead you two idiots, so it should be fine."

Li Ming also laughed, with a sense of victory. In the original track, the four kings were indeed the kings of music... Zheng Yijian's singing ability is far inferior to them. As for Guan Lijie, he is even more Muggle. In terms of singing and dancing, he is just the best.

Water skiing rubs the halo of teammates.

Zheng Yijian and Guan Lijie rolled their eyes wildly, and Ajie grabbed his chopsticks and said, "Eat. After dinner, we have to meet Brother Rong and Brother Hua, and then we all fly to North America."

"The sensational Memories of Murder has finally been filmed, and Brother Hua has seamlessly joined the cast."

The project of "Memories of Murder" was approved on July 18th, and now it is November 14th. Although it is just the production of the film, the main creative team returned to Hong Kong the day before yesterday and is still in post-production.

But this version of a major movie that has set off various magic ring effects in reality will definitely have a good record, at least it is top-notch in Asia.

………………

ATV big office.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and looked forward. Opposite him were Ah Rong and Hua Zai, "Don't resist the many jobs assigned to you. If you don't make more money, South Korea's Wanjia Market will have to borrow big loans again to develop."

Zhang Guorong smiled brightly and said, "How could it be possible? Zhao Sheng, you are here to help us make a fortune. To make a fortune, we have to stay up no matter how tired we are."

"We make money countless times easier than cleaners and firefighters!"

Liu Dehua's face looked a little tired, but he smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, such a good song as Cup of Life is another one that can last a lifetime. Brother Rong and I can't be grateful enough."

He just returned to Hong Kong the day before yesterday. He stayed there for two days and had to fly to North America again. He was tired. But one thing to say, he had been on the set for four months and had the best treatment in all aspects except for acting. He returned home tired from jet lag.

A bit tiring, but really profitable!

With the terrifying power of these superstars to make money, there are countless people in the world who want to take their place.

Hundreds of Wanjia chains in the Mainland are opening hundreds of stores, building buildings and acquiring various resources, and they can keep up with the scale of investment... You can only imagine how much money these few have made over the years.

What if they also win the South Korean cinema chain market? With ten thousand cinema chains, they will already have a commercial position above those of Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others.

Zhao Donghuai drank a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll be busy for a month or two. Let's take a good break during the Chinese New Year."

"I heard that there are a lot of rich and wealthy girls pursuing you recently? Ah Rong, you are not young anymore. It wouldn't be a bad thing if you decide. You don't have to worry about the exposure affecting fans' emotions. Public opinion can be easily publicized and it will be settled."

When he mentioned this, Hua Zai became interested, "Yes, Brother Rong, I heard that the daughter of the Ming family wants to influence you with love... It seems that the one from the Wang family is also interested in you?"

Ah Rong looked embarrassed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The one from the He family likes Bai Qiang. We are just good friends. It's the one from the Ming family. I really have no idea about her."

The daughter of the former King of Gamblers was indeed infatuated with Chen Baiqiang. As for the daughter of the Ming family that Hua Zai mentioned? She looks pretty good. She would be considered a beauty among ordinary people, but in the entertainment industry where there are so many beauties, she would be inconspicuous.

However, her family environment is indeed good. Her father and Sha Dantong are good friends and partners. She is also Sha Dantong's goddaughter. The most famous thing in later generations is a photo in the 1990s of her and Te Bu Si sitting on each other's lap.

.

Shark Dantong is also in that group photo.

The current one is in her 20s, and she is young, pretty, fair-skinned, and pretty.

In the original trajectory, no matter how many Hong Kong actresses wanted to marry into wealthy families, and how many male celebrities had scandals with wealthy daughters, in the end it was basically all in vain. This dimension has really undergone too many magic changes.

Even if some things happen, it may be a common gesture.

Zhao Donghuai was also happy, "You guys, you dared to propose to Maomao when you were 20 years old, but now you are in your 30s, you don't dare anymore?"

When talking about these topics, Director Zhao is still afraid that this person will make the same mistakes again and then jump off a building due to depression. At this stage, he is one of the biggest celebrities in Hong Kong Island.

Ah Rong was still embarrassed and smiled bitterly, "Boss, isn't this a task you asked me to complete?"

Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "It's not a task, it's just a suggestion."

He is just worried that the other party will make the same mistakes again. How can getting married be a task? In this world of fame and fortune, marriages and divorces are everywhere.

After chatting for a while and taking care of the mental health issues of the two cash cows, he watched the two men leave. He still had to run for the afternoon flight to North America.

During the release of Shaolin Soccer and The Twilight Zone, people were flying around Europe and America to push money based on this ticket.

In fact...

This plan was a success!

(Shaolin Soccer) had a box office of less than US$7 million for a daytime plus a nighttime slot in its first week. After entering its second week, it started off fairly steadily, neither strong nor weak, with a weekly gross of US$19 million.

According to the trend, it will eventually earn more than 60 million U.S. dollars in North America.

Even after the movie was released, Bill Gates strongly recommended the movie to the media, and Guy's circle of friends were also recommending it. His popularity also increased with the release of the movie.

But judging from the initial situation, the end result is 60 to 70 million US dollars.

Kung Fu plus football? Kung Fu movies, big special effects, are quite exciting for North American audiences, but football is not the most popular sport in North America.

But when Zhang Guorong and a group of male singers came to promote the film, the box office started to explode in the third week.

GO go go in (Cup of Life), the brainwashing magic sound is really too hot. A bunch of Asian handsome boys will sing and dance this for you, and you will let go, which is the famous scene where countless fans perform the chorus of thousands of people at the scene.

There are too many female fans who despise the looks of these Asian idols.

In its third week at the box office, Shaolin Soccer has grossed more than 26 million US dollars in North America.

As for The Twilight Zone, thanks to the driving force of book fans, it opened for seven days from the 15th to November 22nd plus a night time slot, grossing more than 35 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

How to say Twilight Zone? The original track was 69 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, and finally it earned 192 million U.S. dollars in North America. Other regions added 216 million U.S. dollars, and the total figure exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars.

For movies with big fans, the first week and the second weekend are the most explosive time periods, and they will fail later. Therefore, to be able to earn more than 30 million US dollars a week in the 1980s is also a top-notch appeal.

Following a group of action stars, Zheng Yi Jiandu became popular in F4 and became popular in Europe and the United States by relying on big idol movies. Is it not easy for a Chinese to play a vampire? Isn’t it easy to be popular?

First of all, Cheng Yi Jian's original movie "The Thousand Chances" sold out for US$8 million in Europe and the United States. This is a figure that many kung fu blockbusters cannot sell.

Secondly, the original version of "Qianjibian" almost all Chinese can sell for 8 million dollars, but this version stars Isabelle Adjani and two Jennifers!

Talking about handsome men and beautiful women? For men, there are also guest appearances by Lai Ming, Johnny Depp, etc. as supporting roles. For women, there are also beautiful women such as Zhu Yin playing female classmates.
