On a new day, Zhao Donghuai had just sat in the office when he saw Azhen walking over with a strange smile, "Boss, the eldest son of the Xu family is getting married, and old Xu Sheng has sent an invitation."

"are you going?"

Zhao Donghuai glanced at A-Zhen and said curiously, "I'm not going. I'm too lazy to participate. We're not familiar with each other and we don't have much friendship. But A-Zhen, you smile a little weird?"

Azhen Le Zizi put down the invitation. It was an invitation to the wedding of Jinheng and Jia Ling. The date set was November 23, Thanksgiving Day!

Director Zhao instantly understood Azhen, and he was a little speechless, "Since the ninth grade Sesame Officer, this Jia Ling has been confused with Xing Zai, right? Hasn't the Xu family received any news?"

Ah Zhen is such a fun person.

There are some things that a layman can only watch and watch, but an expert will understand clearly.

Qiu Shuzhen smiled and said, "If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? At that time, Mr. Xu refused to let Jia Ling in even though he said nothing. My dear, this is a new career in the film and television industry, and I am risking my own money. After all, at this stage,

Even the king of the Mainland, Dashu Shitu, can earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in just a few months with just a few movies, and the Mainland has a terrifying amount of RMB box office."

"Including the income from the Mainland, (The Legend of New Gods) can definitely earn more than 100 million. How many months did it take Lao Wang? He is still a complete amateur."

"The Xu family can't resist this temptation anymore. That old Mr. Xu is still a director of HSBC."

After Lao He lost the profits from Haojiang Casino, they all agreed to let Chen Baiqiang and his eldest daughter be together. Naturally, there was no such thing as a powerful alliance that He wanted to do.

Speaking of which, Ah Heng is also a bit unlucky...

However, it doesn't matter. Regardless of whether Lao Xu and Ah Heng know it or not, everyone has no obligation to tell them. The wedding date has been set, and it is not convenient for outsiders to interfere.

Liu Jialing has also successfully landed and is going to become Mrs. Xu.

The only thing worth complaining about is that the wedding date is on Thanksgiving??

………………

About the same time.

In the office of 100 Years Pictures, Fei Jingzheng kept smiling, "I'm going to Li Dapu. Did Brother Heng send you an invitation? Thank you for helping Jialing secure so many film and television resources?"

"Axing, just be a human being."

Regardless of this dimension or before Zhao Donghuai traveled through it, Carina Lau was doing well in the television industry in the 1980s, but in the film industry? The two times she entered the film industry in both dimensions were Days of Being Wild.

At this stage, Ah Fei has not finished filming.

The first major film she entered into the film industry was the role of the third aunt in "The Nine-Pin Sesame Official". The image was not very good, but it was still very funny. She played the role of the dancer A Ping in "The Gambler", which is equivalent to Wan Qiongdan and Wan Qiongdan.

Wu Junru's opportunity.

How about these two big movies? The former has a box office of more than HK$400 million in the Mainland, and the latter has not been released in the Mainland, but the Hong Kong movie has a total box office of HK$80 million, and the sales volume in Hong Kong is also 30 million.

She is already the most popular actress in the Hong Kong actress circle, second only to the first-tier superstars. It is no exaggeration to say that she is very popular among the second-tier stars.

Zhou Xingxing had a toothache on his face, "No, please don't make trouble, but things are a bit tricky. I heard from the old school girl that she will not stop acting after marriage. On the contrary, the Xu family will support Ah Heng to start a film and television company, mainly to support her in starring roles."

movie of."

"Lao Wang, if you have time, help them direct a film?"

Fei Jing was stunned and looked at Ah Xing with a funny look on his face, "What do you mean?"

Why did you cheat on someone else and ask me to take the blame for you? Even if you are the king of comedy, you can't be so shameless.

Xingzi took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Fei Jing and sneered, "We are all moral, and we must not touch married women. Besides, when she asked me for help again and again, she said she would break up with Ah Heng at any time...

…”

"I'm a victim too."

Fei Jing stared at Xingzi in disbelief, "Editor, you continue to edit, I'll wait to see how you continue to edit."

God, you are a victim too.

Xingzi coughed again, "We are all brothers, you have to give me a hand. At worst, I will leave it to you to choose the heroine of the domestic Lingling Paint."

The version of Agent Ling Lingqi over there has just come up with a proposal and got Zhao Sheng’s nod. He is already working on it with Li Lichi and Chen Jiashang, and they haven’t decided who will be the heroine yet.

Fei Jing took a long breath of cold air and was stunned by Xing Zai. What the hell, what the hell, why should I order that thing? Yes, your star master has already made his mark, and the star girl is also a super popular film and television resource.

Very greedy.

But doesn’t his fat scene have a good reputation? Although the film he filmed this year (Chasing the Dragon) has already been completed, it has not been released yet. After all, since the early days of the summer season, one blockbuster after another has been too complicated.

Cheng Long's (Miracle), which you haven't watched, was a box office flop?

So in March, preparations were made to start the war. Andy Lau played Lei Luo, and Lu Liangwei continued to play the role of Lai Hao (Chasing the Dragon). The filming was completed at the end of May. It was still to catch up with the schedule. It was just like filming and playing, but it was over.

During the summer season, I have been working hard at 100 Years Pictures.

Now, Fei Jing has finished filming Bai Gu as Chen Daozai, and Xing Zai continues to play the role of Gambler (The Gambler), and is also waiting for the release date.

In one film (Chasing the Dragon) plus (The Gambling Man), Fei Jing was a little weak. For example, Zhi Jingwen, who had always wanted to be a tea master, Bai Nv Piao, went to Chasing the Dragon to play a rose, and still achieved a good cooperative relationship.

.

Why does he fatten your star girl?

After being confused for a while, Wang Jing asked curiously, "You really haven't decided on the heroine yet?"

Xingzai nodded, "Yes, I want to use a newcomer as the heroine, with a better pure style. The supporting actress should preferably have a good figure and be sexy. Supporting actresses are easy to find. I feel like Li Zhi, Li Wanhua, or even Dita Von Teese.

Cameron Diaz will do."

"As the secret agent heroine over there, I want to hire Chen Derong, but that girl is only 15 years old... she feels a bit too young."

"Now we are discussing with Achi and the others that if the movie is shot next year, she will be 16 years old, so she has grown up, right?"

It's already late November, and it will be 1990 in about thirty days. Chen Derong will turn 16 soon. Ah Xing really wants to use it. Besides, that girl entered Asia Drama in 1986, and she and his girlfriend Luo Huijuan were classmates in the same period.

.

Juanmei has said that Chen Derong's acting skills should be okay.

Fei Jing complained directly, "Fuck, didn't you already have a team together? I didn't even make a decision."

Xing Zai happily said, "You can order a white version. Anyway, my 9th Grade Sesame Official, Back to School Dragon Part 1 and 2, etc. have each sold six to seven million US dollars at the box office in North America."

"If you add a white version and shoot it again, maybe you can sell it for an extra million or two million dollars?"

He knew that his ordinary comedy movies were not very popular in North America and Europe, but since Shaolin Soccer broke the circle, those movies were released in Chinatown and other places. After a month or two, there were six in the end.

$7 million in box office.

Very good!

Even if Europe and the United States are combined in the end, only four to five million dollars will fall on 100 Years Pictures, which is a box office revenue of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

For big productions with top stars, it’s better to have more different versions, the more the better.

The next moment, Xingzi said again, "It's settled, Brother Jing, I got out of the way first. I also asked Sister Juan to make an appointment with Chen Derong to talk about the role. I also have to see how her acting skills are after more than three years of training."

Already."

Chen Derong's current image status is exactly the same as in the original version (Senior Brother Collides Ghost). After all, Senior Brother Collision Ghost was filmed four or five months later...

Wang Jing was confused, "No, wait, damn, you idiot..."

………………

Two days later, on November 20, as time went by, news of Mr. Xu and Jia Ling's marriage spread everywhere in Hong Kong's Haowan circle. Many established wealthy families heard the news and welcomed the wedding.

In the ATV office, Li Jiaxin walked in with a smile and grabbed a few volumes of wall calendars, "Boss, Fatty Wang is very fast. So many stars or big directors have returned to the mainland to open factories."

"He can be regarded as one of the representatives who quickly obtained enough goods and came to Hong Kong Haowan, right?"

"It seems that he is still very determined in wanting to be the richest man in Shaoxing."

While talking, Ah Xin also opened several wall calendars. Hong Xin, Cai Shaofen, Winona Ryder, Lin Qingxia, etc. are all people with whom Li Jiaxin has a good relationship in her circle of friends.

These wall calendars are 12 photos each. From January to December 1990, each star had to pose, choose a photo spot, and use 12 different costumes and images to respond to each month.

Zhao Donghuai casually grabbed Hong Xin's calendar, looked at it, and said with a smile, "How much does he price it?"

Ah Xin said happily, "It is placed in bookstores and record stores on the first floor of every Wanjia Supermarket building facing the street. The Baijia chain also has it. The retail price is 12 yuan, which is basically the same as one yuan for a celebrity calendar."

"However, for the 12-yuan calendar, he also paid a 3-yuan channel fee, which is a normal commission. Female celebrities also get a dollar for every copy sold."

"It was just released yesterday. I heard that among all the calendars yesterday, Yuan Jieying's calendar was the best seller. It sold more than 50,000 copies in one day, almost catching up with the sales of tabloids. Ah Fen, the most popular child star, only sold one

More than 10,000 copies.”

Selling so fast, in addition to the star effect, there is also advertising hype to promote the release.

Zhao Donghuai was speechless, "This fat man really dares to put up a price. How dare you sell a 12-page calendar for 12 yuan? How shameless."

So what if every piece of paper is the same as a color newspaper? The cost is really low.

In the area of ​​celebrity wall calendars, there have actually been many manufacturers working on them since the 1960s and 1970s. Most of them just take the posters, photos, etc. posted by celebrities and re-photograph them to make wall calendars. They don’t give any

What kind of advertising fee does the celebrity pay, not to mention the share of each copy sold?

Only companies with good scale and size, aiming for big labels, will spend money to invite celebrities to take official photos and give red envelopes.

The red envelope is certainly not as good as hiring celebrities to shoot commercials and paying tens or even millions in advertising fees.

After all, this is just a need for still photos, nothing more.
