Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 39 Sir, Three Years After Three Years

It was much easier for Zhao Donghuai to hand over the post-editing to Mai Zishan. The actors were also on call for dubbing and so on. The soundtrack had his own "original" plus Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong.

All that's left is to start building momentum for the film's release.

It was negotiated with Shao Daheng before the filming started, and the local market price of Hong Kong Island will be screened in Shaw Cinemas.

Four bodyguards were left here again, and Zhao Donghuai took Ah Guang and Ah Yong to the scene. The current Hong Kong Island movies are released, and the best grades are of course the summer and New Year files.

Needless to say, the summer schedule is usually from the beginning of July to the end of August every year, and then extended to both sides for a week or two. The "Five Lucky Stars" was released on July 7 and won 8 million box office, which is the best proof of the effectiveness of the summer schedule.

It's a pity that Zhao Donghuai is not a fast shooter. He crossed in early May, and it is now mid-September.

Can't get the summer file?Waiting for the New Year?

Hong Kong island film, the first to open the Lunar New Year file is Cheng Long. The 1980 Junior Brothers came out on February 2th, a week away from the Lunar New Year in China. It grossed over 9 million at the box office, and it was the first local box office in Hong Kong to break [-] million. of.

Since then, the film and television industry on Hong Kong Island has paid more attention to the Lunar New Year file. In 81, Xu Guanwen brought a modern bodyguard to the Lunar New Year file. In 82, he was the best partner. After the first day of this year, the best partner showed his skills.

The concept of Lunar New Year stalls is becoming more and more popular.

Now it is generally said that the Lunar New Year stalls are one or two weeks before the Spring Festival and after the annual holiday.

Waiting for the Spring Festival file to be separated from the Lunar New Year file... It was more than [-] years later. Avatar was released in the mainland, and it was released a week before New Year's Eve. Put theater movie tickets in short supply.

This is how the concept of the Spring Festival stalls began on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and then Zhou Xingxing’s Journey to the West Conquering the Demons, which landed in theaters on the first day of the new year a few years later, became a hit, establishing the concept of the Spring Festival stalls.

But, it’s only mid-September, and it’s too long to delay New World to the New Year’s Eve... and this year’s Lunar New Year’s Eve has a big enemy, one is Cheng Long’s A plan, with a local box office of more than 9 million.

还有公历上虽然是1984年1月26号上映，但农历还是春节前的腊月24、华夏南小年上映的最佳拍档系列女皇密令，2900多万本埠票房。

Do you think this is gone?
No, what was released on the same day as the Queen's Secret Order was the Teppanyaki of Xu Guanwen, the current king of comedy, with a box office of more than 1900 million, and Li Lianjie's Shaolin Kid, which was launched this year after the Shaolin Temple became popular, with a box office of more than 2200 million.

Thinking of it makes me speechless, Nan Xiaonian, Xu Guanjie, Mai Jia, Xu Guanwen, Li Lianjie and other big shots during the Lunar New Year holiday, Cheng Long A's plan is suppressed by the kind who avoids the sharp edge in advance.

Project A is the joint work of three brothers Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and Hong Lingbao!

"The Lunar New Year festival is under a lot of pressure. It's not that I'm afraid of them, but that too much competition will only distract everyone's box office."

"When the post-production is finished, go and discuss with Boss Shao about releasing it in the near future, either at the end of September or early October."

In fact, in September and October, the box office of Hong Kong Island will still be good, as long as you shoot well... For example, this year, there are 9 Days of Misrepresentation, Burning of the Old Summer Palace, Listening to politics under the curtain, Shaw Brothers movie version of Tiancanbian, and Yuanbiao's Kung Fu football movies. Cattle.

These are all released from mid-to-late September to October.

Fire and Mistake both had a box office of more than 1500 million, ranking fourth and fifth in Hong Kong's box office in 1983.Wrong Seven Days is released on September 9nd, and it will be almost released in the second ten days of the month.

As for burning the Old Summer Palace?He remembered that it was released on September 9, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Since the box office potential in September and October is not bad, let's do it.

………………

a new day.

After Shao Yifu arrived at the TVB office, he looked at the eye-catching headlines on the newspaper shelf near his desk.

"Shocked! Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li are about to stage a Hong Kong version of the duel."

"Sir, three years and three years later, I have become one of the talkers of the largest club in Hong Kong. Come again, I will become the leader!"

"The undercover police have unified all social groups in Hong Kong and become the sharpest leader."

…………

After a few glances, Daheng Shao said, "..."

Three years and three years?Has the undercover agent changed from a talker to a leader?What kind of weirdness is this?
Come to think of it, it seems to be the new movie of Zhao Donghuai, the waste paper king?After all, Director Zhao's new film is almost all leased from Shaw Brothers, from equipment rental to actors and behind-the-scenes.

When it was released, he, Shao Daheng, was also a nail in his mouth at the beginning, and he agreed.

At his current status, it is impossible to say what he said publicly and then erase it at will.

Thinking of this, Shao Yifu grabbed the newspaper and read it, and then...he found out that the propaganda campaign of the New World was really launched, and Zhao Donghuai, the waste paper king, was ignorant of the popularity of the beach.

The premiere in Shanghai was three years ago. How many people rushed home to watch TV at the time of "Wandering and Wandering"?Zhou Runfa can be described as black and red in the TV industry.

replay?It has just been replayed this year, even if the rebroadcast is as hot as it is, this is not the era of Internet big data in the later generations. You have watched it on TV once, and you can watch it on your computer whenever you want to review it.

There are not so many computers, and the cost of video tapes is too high, so the popularity of replays is really not low.

The ratings of Shanghai Bund’s rebroadcast beat many new episodes. At this time, you pulled Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li out to promote Shanghai stall tycoons who wanted to regain the world’s hegemony in Hong Kong Island in the 80s... a duel between the two heroes.

The eyeball effect is still good.

Moreover, some publicity newspapers also have black and white photos. For example, Fazai is wearing a suit that is particularly thin and slim, with long legs and a wolf waist. There are dozens of boys in suits standing in the back row. rushed out.

Li Zhongjiu, the leader of New World 4 played by Lu Liangwei, is not bad either.

After a few glances, Shao Yifu still stared at the three-year-and-three-year propaganda title, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't laugh or cry.

After a while, he picked up the phone and called out, "Adu, is the new world going to be released?"

On the opposite side, Du Qifeng said blankly, "No, Uncle Six, he should still be working on the post-production." After a pause, Du sir continued, "I also read today's newspaper propaganda, Director Zhao said it was a warm-up, and I will come back after the post-production is done." You talk about the schedule."

Shao Yifu, "..."

Is it so hard to warm up the heat on the beach? ?The key is really the two leading men in Shanghai Beach.

The Shaw Brothers also took advantage of the popularity of the TV series and released the first and second episodes of the film version of Shang Hu Tan, which was also starred by Ah Fa and Ah Wei. It was shown this year, but the response was mediocre and there was no splash.

After hanging up the phone and thinking about it, he didn't bother to care about it anymore, "Forget it, I'll just wait to watch the finished movie... However, the schedule of some junk movies has to be moved, and the overall evaluation is saying yes, this new movie Maybe the world is really the famous work of that bad boy."

From props to behind-the-scenes and actors, almost all of them belong to Shaw Brothers or TVB. After a month or two, you don’t need to ask Daheng Shao where he got the general word-of-mouth and quality of New World.

Now the post-production is still at Shaw Studios in Clear Water Bay.

He is sure, even if it hasn't been seen yet, this movie is at least worth looking forward to compared to the movie version of "Interstellar Blunt Tires" and the assembly line.

His Shaw Brothers has been losing money every year in recent years. In April 1985, the theaters will be rented and sold to Dickson Poon. One can imagine the predicament of Shaw Brothers Films.

If there is no good film, the theaters will lose money. What is the concept of loss in Hong Kong Island theaters in the 80s?In fact, Shao Daheng is also looking forward to more good movies and blockbuster movies to support the popularity of theaters.

He has worked hard in the film and television industry all his life. If he had no choice, how could he let the film company suspend production, reorganize, open another door, and lease and sell theaters after he is over 70 years old?
