Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

This year's New Year's Eve movies are pure Hong Kong films, and without exception, they still dominate the world on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Since "God of Gamblers 2" has been released a few years ago in this life, Cheng Long's "Drunken Master 2" (box office: 40.97 million Hong Kong dollars) leads the pure Hong Kong film, Zhou Runfa's "Citigroup Shaolin (Box Office: HK$37 million) is next, followed by Zhou Xingchi's "Lord of Destruction" (Box Office: HK$36.9 million), by the way, thanks to Zhong Li in this life Di did not enter the film and television industry, and the heroine of "The King of Destruction" was played by Qiu Shuzhen. In addition, the New Year's comedy "The House of the Rich" (box office: 37.3 million) in New Art City also performed well. This year's Lunar New Year is the only purely Hong Kong film that can compete with the films on the biweekly schedule.

but--

Double Monday 10% and "The Rich Family" will also be able to compete in pure Hong Kong films. The real box office champion of Hong Kong this year, no, it should be the top three, and none of the double Monday 10% is.

The box office champion of this year's Lunar New Year is the thriller sci-fi movie "Resident Evil" starring Yang Ziqiong and American actress Michelle Rodriguez directed by Xu Cun's producer Lin Zhengying.

In the last life, at this time, due to too many shoddy productions, the audience began to be tired and indifferent to zombie-themed movies. In addition, Wang Jing’s gambling movies and Xu Ke’s martial arts movies began to become popular, and the filmmakers moved after hearing the news. Martial arts movies have gone, and the zombie-themed movies that were very popular for a while were rarely mentioned anymore. In fact, the zombie movies at that time were indeed hard to return, although Lin Zhengying made such funny movies as "African Monk" and so on. It is a creative work that combines Maoshan magic, exotic customs, African natives of the comedy business card "God Is Crazy", and the kind-hearted zombie ancestors fighting African giants, etc., but in the end it is still powerless, and Lin Zhengying's film journey also presents After going downhill, Lin Zhengying, who didn't even have the chance to make a movie, could only switch to the film field to make the first, second, and second trilogy of "Zombie Daoist", in order to save his stardom that has gone to a stranger.

In this life, with Xu Cun's guidance, help and full support, Lin Zhengying sharpened his sword for two years and directed "Resident Evil", the first horror science fiction film in Hong Kong.

Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" is actually very different from the previous "Resident Evil" - the biggest difference is that Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" directly uses 3D technology.

but--

Although Lin Zhengying directly used 3D technology, and Xu Cun directed it behind him, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" and the previous "Resident Evil" still have their own advantages, at least Xu Cun thinks so.

This is not surprising, although Xu Cun can give Lin Zhengying the creativity of "Resident Evil" and also give Lin Zhengying a certain amount of direction, but Xu Cun, who is busy, can't do everything in detail. Therefore, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" is inevitable. It has integrated the will of the director Lin Zhengying and Yang Ziqiong and other actors. In terms of image, Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" is less scary than the previous "Resident Evil", and inevitably incorporates a bit of dark humor , It is also more fancy and better-looking in terms of fighting.

Regarding the changes in "Resident Evil", Xu Cun really said whether it is good or bad.

Before "Resident Evil" was released, Xu Cun watched it from the audience's perspective, and then felt that Lin Zhengying's "Resident Evil" was also very interesting, especially watching those horror scenes made by Lin Zhengying under the 3D effect, it was very exciting!

In addition, although Xu Cun can't say whether the changes in "Resident Evil" are good or bad, Xu Cun can be sure that "Resident Evil" will be Lin Zhengying's movie in the future, and no one else can snatch it, including Xu Cun. Including Paul Anderson, the director of the previous "Resident Evil".

This also saves Xu Cun a lot of work - when making the follow-up film of "Resident Evil", Xu Cun no longer has to be the producer himself.

After the release of "Resident Evil", although many viewers scolded DreamWorks and Lin Zhengying for showing them the disgusting thing "Resident Evil" during the Chinese New Year, the box office of "Resident Evil" including the word of mouth in the industry has shaken ahead of other movies.

As a result, "Resident Evil" has not yet finished drawing, and its box office has already reached nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars, making it the most promising movie to catch up with the box office miracle created by "Jurassic Park" in Hong Kong!

Moreover, the box office of "Resident Evil" is not only fierce in Hong Kong, but also in other regions, especially in Europe and the United States!

It is conservatively estimated that the total global box office of "Resident Evil" is as high as 640 million U.S. dollars, and it is conservatively estimated that it can earn 300 million U.S. dollars for DreamWorks, and that does not include video tapes, DVDs and peripheral income.

It is no exaggeration to say that with "Resident Evil", Lin Zhengying has defeated Wang Jing, Xu Ke, Li An, Chen Xunqi, Wu Yusen and others to temporarily become Xiangjiang's second best-selling director. Lin Zhengying, who was 42 years old at the time, Under Xu Cun's care, not only did he not walk into a stranger, but he entered the golden age of his career radiantly.

This year's Lunar New Year box office runner-up is China Star's "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The "Guardians of the Galaxy", which the Xiang brothers invested more than US$100 million in, earned a box office of HK$58 million in Hong Kong and US$594 million worldwide. Let China Star earn 600 to 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Xiang brothers are so happy that they can hardly find North!

Moreover, this is only the intuitive income of the box office, and does not count as hidden income-after the earth-shattering performance of "Guardians of the Galaxy", the stock of China Star soared by 6% in a very short period of time Ten more!

With the movie "Resident Evil" alone, the Xiang brothers' net worth can be said to have doubled!

This year’s Lunar New Year’s box office runner-up is the animated film “The Lion King” supervised by Jeffrey, the general manager of DreamWorks Films (USA Branch). It grossed $310 million in North America and $580 million worldwide.

Judging from the box office results of these seven films, today's Hong Kong films are not only showing no signs of decline, but are becoming more and more prosperous.

But the real situation is not the case.

Not to mention other things, after "The King of Destruction", the box office of other Lunar New Year movies did not even exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

It will be even worse in the future. After the two films "*****" and "The Flag of the Dragon Gambler Win" with more than 10 million yuan, the box office of other films is almost all below 4 million. They couldn't even get the book back, and if it wasn't for the videotape channel to cover them all, they would all have to pay for it.

People in the film industry have begun to call on the government to set up a "Film Development Bureau" to save the crisis of Hong Kong films.

At this time, a film company with a pivotal position in the history of Xiangjiang Film was established...
