Five hundred and ninetieth chapters thriving
Han Jin watched "The True Color of Heroes 2" in his previous life. Although the gun battle is still gorgeous, Fa Ge is still handsome and his brotherly relationship is still touching, the plot is full of loopholes, giving people the feeling of a dog-tailed sable.
It is said that the film "The True Heroes" became popular, which made the sequel filming rushed. Without even a page in the script, Wu Yusen was asked to take people to the United States to shoot. Xu Ke brought another group of people to Hong Kong to shoot, and as a result, it took only more than a month to shoot the movie.
Although the sequel still achieved good box office with the wind of "The True Heroes", it ruined this movie that could have been successfully continued.
If Wu Yusen is given more time to prepare and polish the plot well, I believe that the new "Hero's True Color 2" will definitely achieve another success. In this way, "Hero's True Color" may be filmed in a series like "" and "Star Wars".
Wu Yusen was stunned when he saw Han Jin suggesting that he film "Heroic Reality 2", "Jin Shao, "Heroic Reality 1" has not been released yet, and I don't know if the box office is good. Is it too reckless to film "Heroic Reality 2" now?"
"Why, don't you think "The True Heroes" is a good movie?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
Wu Yusen shook his head, "Of course not, this movie is my brainchild, and I definitely think it is a good movie."
"Then →, w☆, as long as it is a good movie, I will invest. As for box office, you don't have to worry about it. I just made a lot of money, and it's just a little bit of a problem, and I can still afford to lose." Han Jin said with a smile.
Hearing that he said, everyone present couldn't help laughing.
Although Han Jin spoke a big tone, everyone knows that he has the strength. He made nearly 500 million Hong Kong dollars in thirty concerts. He can really afford to lose so much money. I think no boss in Hong Kong dares to say this like him.
"Okay, Jing Shao." Wu Yusen also agreed with a smile. Since the boss is not afraid of losing money, why are hesitating?
"Well. The new "Heroic Reality 2" will also include Zhou Runfa, Di Long and Zhang Guorong." Han Jin said again.
"But Brother Ma was shot to death last time." Wu Yusen said in surprise.
"Well, this is not simple. Just arrange a twin brother for him." Han Jin said with a smile.
Wu Yusen blinked, and this was indeed a solution. However, in the previous movie, he did not mention that he had twin brothers. This time, there was an extra brother. I really had to think about it carefully to see how to make up for this loophole.
"Okay, I understand, Jing Shao." Wu Yusen nodded.
Han Jin also smiled. "By the way, Brother Jing, have the foundation received better scripts recently?"
"Oh, there are two scripts, one is "The Evil Cat" cast by Yu Yun, and the other is "The Line of Life and Death" cast by Liang Puzhi. Both movies are thriller and horror movies." Wang Jing said.
Han Jin smiled, "Why are they all movies of this kind of theme? Is our company called the horror film base?"
"The box office of this kind of purely horrifying film has always been low in Hong Kong. Therefore, they can't find anyone to invest in it," Wang Jing explained.
Han Jin nodded, knowing that in Hong Kong horror films, no matter how scary the subject matter is, Hong Kong filmmakers should add some funny plots to dilute the horror atmosphere.
As a result, the ghost movies are not like ghost movies, but more like black comedy movies. It seems that Liu Zhenwei himself filmed "The Ghost Hall". There are more funny plots than horror plots.
But to be honest, horror films have always been very popular, especially in Japan, where horror films are a very popular subject. However, Hong Kong people hate this type of subject, and the films of ordinary film companies cannot be sold in Japan, which has always been ignored.
After the 1990s, the prosperity of horror films in Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other places attracted a large number of horror films to solicit and created amazing profits. In Thailand, horror films have become the main pillar of local films. Many horror films have even won annual box office championships and are well-known in Southeast Asia and even the mainland.
In fact, there are also many talents in Hong Kong who make horror movies. For example, Yu Yunkang, the "Battle List" filmed in 1982 is still recognized as the most scary film in 20 years.
There are also Shaw's cult director Gui Zhihong, who filmed "Demon", "Gu", "Evil", etc., Yu Rentai, who filmed "The Aura", etc., which are all very good horror film directors. Their directing styles are also slightly different. Whether it is character portrayal, atmosphere rendering, or plot design, they are all good at playing the show, and they are talents that can be cultivated well.
But Hong Kong movies do not attach too much importance to horror movies. They are all funny movies like "Mr. Zombie", and they have given up the big-selling genre of horror movies in vain.
"Okay, they won't shoot, let's shoot." Han Jin said with a smile, "I have invested in these two movies."
"Well, then I'll turn around and ask them to come and see you." Wang Jing said.
Han Jin nodded.
"By the way, do you have anything else to add?" Han Jin asked again.
Zhang Guozhong then reported on the information about visits, endorsements, advertisements, performances, etc. arranged for artists over the past month.
Yongsheng now has more than 100 actors, most of whom were received from Shaw Brothers. All their affairs, such as movies and TV, advertising endorsements, commercial performances, charity events, media interviews, etc., need the help of agents.
Before, there were no professional brokers in Hong Kong, even Zhang Guozhong, Li Jin, Chen Shuxuan and others were not professional. Han Jin's Yongsheng Entertainment was the first company to introduce a professional broker mechanism. For this reason, it also specially trained a group of professional brokers to help artists manage their careers.
Yongsheng's manager team is still 20, but it is no longer the twenty people in the first batch. Now there are three changes, and there are only less than eight people left from the first batch to the current agents.
The company has trained 60 people since the beginning, and only these twenty people can be promoted to agents. The other forty people are still working as assistants or have been eliminated by the company, and the elimination rate is still relatively high.
What Zhang Guozhong is reporting now is the achievements of these agents. Although they are all young people, their performance is very good. Last month, there were twenty advertising endorsements, with a total amount of more than HK$5 million.
It has been on major newspapers, magazine covers, and exclusive interviews on the inside pages for more than 150 times. In other words, the newspapers and magazines that are available in Hong Kong every day are all covered by artists from Yongsheng Entertainment.
Such a high exposure rate will naturally bring back high popularity, making Yongsheng Entertainment’s artists always the highest popularity in Hong Kong. Even second-tier artists are as popular as first-tier artists in other companies.
Just like Zeng Huaqian, who is under the company, she only made two movies and is considered a second-tier in the entertainment industry at most. However, her popularity is not inferior to that of Jiahe's first-tier actress Hu Huizhong.
The reason for this is that the packaging is just the packaging.
In order to package Zeng Huaqian, Yongsheng specially invited professional stylists to help her style. In addition to the style of the clothing, the makeup she put on, the hairstyle she left, even her walking posture, her own conversation, etc., were carefully trained.
All the photos posted on the media are taken by famous artists, and carefully selected the most beautiful ones to newspapers and magazines. Zeng Huaqian was originally a first-class beauty, which added a lot of points. She attracted countless fans with that face alone.
In addition, Yongsheng asked several pens to write articles to help her praise her, and Zeng Huaqian herself was indeed very capable. So as soon as she came and went, she quickly became popular in Xiangjiang.
On the other hand, Hu Huizhong was very popular in Hong Kong after filming "The Good Star" and "The Good Star in Summer". Many people like this heroic and sassy overlord flower. Her posters even sold out for a while.
However, Jiahe lacks experience in celebrity packaging and fails to seize this opportunity in time. He further deepens publicity for Hu Huizhong and consolidates her current status as a first-line actress.
The competition in the Hong Kong entertainment industry is very fierce. Two or three new films are released every week, plus TV series launched by TVB and ATV, female singers launched by record companies, and female models launched by advertising companies...
On average, almost twenty new actresses in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are launched every week. In addition to the old actresses before, the number of actresses has exceeded 10,000.
So many people want to strive for the best, but in the entertainment industry, it is like sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat. Hu Huizhong misses the opportunity to make progress. He can only regretfully give way to the newcomers.
"Okay, you're doing a good job. Give them an extra 200,000 Hong Kong dollars this month." Han Jin said with satisfaction after listening to Zhang Guozhong's report.
Zhang Guozhong nodded with a smile, "Then I will thank Jin Shao for their behalf."
"Yeah." Han Jin nodded.
Yu Zheng then reported to him about the use of the company's public relations funds.
Yongsheng now has 2 million Hong Kong dollars in public relations funds every month, which are used to attract relations with major media.
Have a meal, give a gift, sponsor an event, and spend so much money, naturally, the relationship between Hong Kong media and Yongsheng Entertainment is very harmonious.
In this way, it is difficult to see news in the media that is not conducive to Yongsheng Entertainment. It seems that when Han Jin and Liu Luanxiong fought, many media received rumors, but none of them published this news. It is because they usually spread a lot of silver paper and have good relationships with the media, so they can help you to suppress any bad news.
Of course, if there is good news, it will naturally be more vigorously promoted. For example, celebrities, new movies, and albums are all full of praise.
On the contrary, Jiahe doesn't pay much attention to the media and is also because he is reluctant to spend too much money. Therefore, he is always scolded when the new film is released, and even the rumors of celebrities are revealed.
"Okay, I will put more effort into the media in the future." Han Jin nodded and said, "The media is very important. Everyone, don't ignore it."
After Yu Zheng finished reporting, Ji Fanghua reported on the box office situation last month. Yongsheng Theater released a total of seven films last month, including Zheng Zeshi's "Why Have Me" and Wu Siyuan's "The Legend of the Fa", which all achieved very good results. At the same time, the reputation of these two movies is also very good, which made many viewers cry with sympathy.
These two films made Zheng Zeshi famous and won the title of Best Actor in the Academy Awards; the other film made Liu Dehua famous, making people know that he is not just good at showing off.
"Jin Shao, our theaters have a total box office of HK$23 million last month, and our share income has reached HK$11 million." Ji Fanghua's last report.
Han Jin nodded, "Okay, everyone is doing well, are there anything else to report?"
"A Jin, I heard that Taiwan intends to lift the ban on you." Wang Jing said, "But it seems like I have to write an apology letter. I wonder if you want to submit?"
Han Jin nodded. Since the last time he performed at the concert Saving Africa, Taiwan did not cut off the live broadcast signal, he knew that the Taiwanese authorities had the meaning to reveal it.
Perhaps it is because he is now in a relatively large international presence, especially in Britain, the United States and other countries. In addition, he has become a shareholder of Sony Records before, which has also faced huge international pressure, which has forced them to make this choice.
But if he was asked to write an "apology letter", then forget it!
