Chapter 391, Harvest, the 'big star' in the Hong Kong circle!

On the other side.

Liu Dehua also returned to the team of "The Warlords".

at this time.

The team of "The Warlords" was very nervous. The box office was indeed OK . However, compared with the box office ratio of "The Warlords", the box office growth rate of "Ip Man" next door has reached a very exaggerated level.

Five million on the first day, ten million on the second day, and twelve million on the third day.

And at this time.

The box office of "The Warlords" has fallen into a slump since the second day, and it seems that it is about to catch up with "Ip Man".

You have to know that the total investment in "Ip Man" was only more than 30 million, and the salary of Li Lianjie in "The Warlords" alone was nearly 100 million.

The sky-high pay makes it difficult to compare the production results to others. If the box office is really the same in the end, it will be "The Warlords" that will be embarrassed.

You have to know that the crew of "The Warlords" didn't take "Ip Man" seriously at all! "Why are you all in such a bad mood?" Liu Dehua looked at Jin Chengwu who was playing the latest 3ds game console, Monster Hunter.

This former Asian No. 1 handsome guy is very pure, he would never work if he could play games . At this time, Jin Chengwu said with great concentration.

"Well, the Kung Fu Emperor who returned from Hollywood is in a bad mood."

I'm in a very bad mood. If I have to say something, it seems like my defenses are a little broken.

The whole face was dark.

For Chen Kexin, the current results are actually quite good, although somewhat surprising compared to the results of the next door "Ip Man", but as long as it does not affect him, there is not much to say.

But it is different for Li Lianjie. He returned to the mainland with great ambitions. It can be said that he is returning as a king.

But now that the king has returned, he has been defeated by the little-known "Ip Man".

Is it that the performance of "The Warlords" is not good enough?

wrong.

He didn't get the 100 million yuan salary for nothing.

Considering his box office appeal, there is absolutely no possibility that his first film after his return to the mainland will suffer a loss.

It's just compared to the box office explosion of "Ip Man" next door.

There are still some defenses broken.

Especially since everyone is in the field of action movies.

He felt very uncomfortable because he was lagging behind others in the field he was most familiar with.

"Is he in a bad mood? It's not that I can't understand his feelings, but the box office made the decision with real money, and the audience voted with their money."

At this time, Liu Dehua touched his chin and said.

"Now that you have watched the movie, do you think he deserves this achievement?" Jin Chengwu, who was playing Monster Hunter Cat Car at this time, finally looked up at Liu Dehua.

"From my perspective, I even think it's not impossible for this movie to beat our The Warlords."

Now Jin Chengwu couldn't sit still anymore and couldn't concentrate on playing games.

“Is it that exaggerated?”

“Is it exaggerated?”

“This investment is not even on the same scale.”

"Who told you that the quality of a movie is completely linked to the scale of investment?"

At this time, Liu Dehua closed his eyes and recalled.

"I haven't seen such a good movie in a long time. The feeling it gave me was very wonderful."

At this time, Liu Dehua used a very strange adjective.

That's amazing.

After watching this movie, Liu Dehua felt a strange surge of blood boiling.

Very direct emotion.

"How should I put it? After watching this movie, if I have to find an adjective to describe it, it would be simple."

Simple and pure, the amount of information it contains is much less than that of "The Warlords".

But when it comes to movies, the more information they contain, the better. Absolutely not.

It is precisely because of the pure amount of information that it provides a viewing experience suitable for all ages.

The movie is indeed fermenting.

The movie Ip Man really took off.

In the Internet age, word of mouth spreads very quickly. On the fifth day, the box office was on par with "The Warlords".

It's suitable for all ages, the emotions are pure, the acting is on point, and the kung fu fighting scenes are great.

This is the online public opinion evaluation of the movie "Ip Man", without too many strange elaborations.

There are a lot of comments on "The Warlords", especially long comments from some bloggers, which include analysis from various angles and integration of information. There is so much information that it is impossible to understand it after just one viewing, and you have to read it a second or third time before you can understand it.

For movie lovers, or people with deep pockets, watching a movie twice or three times is nothing to worry about.

This is a bit regrettable for general audiences, as many of them are unable to appreciate the entire movie.

I can only say that Jin Chengwu and King Liu are so handsome, and I can only say that the Kung Fu Emperor’s fighting is really beautiful.

"Ip Man" is like a wild horse that has completely broken free from its reins.

Li Yun's name became a hot search on Weibo.

He is Ip Man.

He is also the director of "Ip Man".

Meanwhile, over at the Wushu Association, those traditional martial arts masters were frantically complaining to their superiors.

"Ban it, we must ban this kind of movie! We must not allow it to be allowed to continue!" Ma Guohu was shouting there.

The leaders of the Wushu Association could only greet them with a smile.

"We cannot decide to ban a public figure or a public work, especially since he has not violated any laws or regulations."

"How come he didn't violate the rules and regulations? He smeared our traditional Chinese martial arts! What he did was not authentic! And what he used was not the real stuff!"

Milan Fang was the most excited at this time.

She was a little panicked.

That's where her panic lies.

Now public opinion on the Internet is saying that her Wing Chun is not as good as Li Yun's.

"That's easy. You can have an exhibition match. You have cultivated some kind of Qi, right? It should be easy for you to defeat him. Then you can prove to the people of the country that you are the orthodox Wing Chun master and you are the representatives of traditional martial arts. How simple is that?"

Tian Wei said lightly.

The chairman of the martial arts association immediately choked these masters to the point that they were speechless.

Then Ma Guohu said viciously.

"Don't talk to us like that. The Martial Arts Association is only a Martial Arts Association with us. Without us, you are just a makeshift group! If our reputation is ruined, you won't benefit from it!"

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of it."

After dealing with these masters for a while, Tian Wei sent them out of the office.

Then the professional smile on his face disappeared.

"You call him an orthodox master, and he has real qi and internal strength. What else can he do except go on TV to deceive people? It's really nonsense."

"It's tiring dealing with this group of people."

At this time, Wu Jinquan walked in from outside and looked at Tian Wei helplessly.

"Indeed, I am very tired. By the way, did you go to see the movie "Ip Man"? How did you feel about it?"

"Very good, very good. It is the best film about Chinese martial arts that I have seen in the past 10 years."

Tian Wei didn't expect that he could give such a high evaluation.

"Because he's good at martial arts?"

"In a sense, he denied martial arts, but also acknowledged it. I can even understand why those traditional masters were so angry, because Ip Man destroyed their jobs, but it also promoted traditional Chinese martial arts."

"The actor in Ip Man has authentic and pure Wing Chun Kung Fu, which can't be mastered without ten or eight years of practice."

I heard Wu Jinquan’s comments.

Tian Wei also thought for a moment and then said.

"Then how does this Master Ye compare to our orthodox successor Milan Fang?"

"One cent."

"One cent?"

"This Milanfang is only worth one cent."

Hearing this, Tian Wei seemed to have made a decision.

The reason why the Wushu Association keeps those masters is because it needs the orthodoxy of intangible cultural heritage to preserve the legitimacy of the Association.

But if someone is more orthodox than them. "You've made a fortune this time!"

Jiang Chenggang was looking at the box office table.

I couldn't help but breathe heavily. As the leading actor, Li Yun and the director also participated in the box office share.

Box office share! According to the share, Li Yun can earn at least 10 million this time.

Li Yun at this moment.

But he was closing his eyes and resting.

For Li Yun, who does not have such strong material desires at the moment, it is great to have a house and a car.

It seems to be enough.

Of course, more money is better, after all, investing in a movie costs money.

This money can only be regarded as supplementing the company's cash flow.

Make the company's cash flow more sufficient and do more things.

But in fact, great wealth is the next best thing to pursue.

What I pursue more is to become famous all over the world, to reach the top, and to make the whole world tremble at my work.

This is what Li Yun pursues.

"Not bad, not bad. If you make more money, I can live a carefree and comfortable life. Hahaha!"

In fact, the director's personality was speaking into Li Yun's ear again.

The haunting.

"Do you want me to make wedding clothes for you? It depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

"It doesn't matter. The more personalities you expel, the stronger I and the superstar who remain will become. Then it will all depend on our abilities to see who gets to enjoy everything you've worked so hard for."

At this time, the director's personality was sitting on Li Yun's shoulders.

"Didn't you notice? After Ye Wen was sent away by you, the two of us became more like independent individuals rather than vassals."

"So?"

Li Yun smiled faintly.

"So why don't you quickly teach me all your knowledge about directing, so that I can produce better works and you can enjoy more fame and fortune from my hard work in the future, right?"

"You are such a kid, you are always thinking about how to exploit us."

The director's personality was very funny at this time.

"In fact, being a director is an experiential discipline. No matter how much I teach you, it is just talk on paper. You have to put it into practice and feed it with works to fully understand the feelings. Add to that your unique sense of substitution and I believe we can shoot earth-shaking works!"

That's true.

Directing is an experiential discipline.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

No matter how amazing your talent is, you still need directors to support you.

My next work.

It's probably the New Three Kingdoms. As for film works, the director and the leading actor tend to move forward together, but I haven't found a good director yet.

Main-theme movies seem to have entered a period of silence. There seems to be no news about "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party". It can only be said that the authorities are really slow in promoting the projects. This is also a disadvantage of CCTV's planning.

From project establishment to the start of filming, there is a long review process.

Unlike other circles, all you need to do from project establishment to filming is sign your name.

However, it is also because of this that the works in the CCTV circle are generally held back to be big, and if they do make a splash, they will be a sensation.

The highlight is the concentration of resources to accomplish major tasks.

All we can say is that each circle has its own characteristics, but there is no way to say which one is better or worse, or which one is superior?

Especially for people like Li Yun who are in a certain circle.

I have enjoyed the benefits of every circle.

now.

The advantages of being involved in various circles are revealed. Although there is no window period in the CCTV circle, he still enjoys many advantages and has enjoyed a lot of resources in the industry.

For now.

This path is still correct.

Currently, the film "Ip Man" is still in the works. And the next film that will be released is probably Let the Bullets Fly.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

This time, the most important influence of "Ip Man" is...

It’s mainly in the Hong Kong circle, and the most important gains are also here.

I don’t know what kind of influence this time’s “Ip Man” will have on this circle. At this moment, more than half a month has passed, and the box office results have been finalized.

A huge success.

This was the commercial success achieved by "Ip Man" at that time.

It is quite eye-catching.

With an investment several times smaller than that of "The Warlords", it achieved comparable results.

This is enough to be proud of and enough to hold a big celebration party.

This result made Ye Weixin feel very comfortable.

Ye Weixin, who was toasting at the table, then laughed.

"Our chief hero has arrived too."

At this time, these people from all walks of life in the Hong Kong circle saw the person coming. It was Li Yun, the chief contributor appointed by Ye Weixin.

In other words, he doesn't need to make the final decision.

That's the result.

As the director and the leading actor, Li Yun has done an absolutely outstanding job whether in the kung fu and martial arts scenes or in the literary dramas.

It has been done to a very outstanding level.

It can be said that the chief contributor to the success of "Ip Man" over "The Warlords" this time is Li Yun.

"Let me introduce them to you. They are all from Emperor Entertainment Group and Dacheng Entertainment. They are old acquaintances in our Hong Kong circle." At this time, Yuan Jinbao next to him was also introducing them.

They are all veterans in the Hong Kong circle.

They are all representatives of various investors.

Li Yun naturally became a hot commodity. This is also the biggest benefit brought by the successful release of the movie for Li Yun.

This benefit probably comes from various resources.

The money from making movies can be invested in new movies, and the results of movie making can be taken to a higher level, which will attract more resources in the industry.

Climb towards a higher position step by step.

As an actor, I had the opportunity to come into contact with big companies like Emperor Entertainment.

But it won’t be the same as it is now.

As a director and actor.

Being touched together.

The status of a director is much higher than that of an actor. Not just much higher, in fact, it is much higher.

The director's table is half a level, or even a whole level, higher than the actors'.

Of course, this is only the general case.

If you reach the level of Jacky Cheung or Stephen Chow, the situation will be different.

In fact, in a way, Stephen Chow and Jacky Cheung in the past could be considered part-time directors, and they were walking the path of both director and actor.

After all, most of their movies are made at their own pace, so they can be considered as directing and acting in their own films.

And at this time.

There was a person who surprised Li Yun.

He is Chen Kexin, the director of "The Warlords".

He is also the nominal antagonist in this "Ip Man" movie.

Of course, for Li Yun, there is no such thing as an opponent. His only competitor at the box office is himself, who can make the audience sincerely pay to watch his movies.

Being able to take money out of their pockets is real skill.

Being able to win an award is a real skill.

But for "The Warlords", this is a very embarrassing thing.

150 million versus 30 million.

Even if you win, you won't feel proud.

If I lose, it will be a huge loss of face.

At this moment, Chen Kexin felt a little regretful. Looking at the chief contributor in front of her, if she had listened to Liu Dehua more, if she had been able to throw out more chips to retain Li Yun, would her "The Warlords" have been able to reach a higher level? At least.

There won't be an opponent who would embarrass you in the slightest.

However, in the commercial film market, there are no so-called real friends or enemies. If we have to name an enemy, it is probably Hollywood.

Civil wars are all benign.

After thinking about this, Chen Kexin also extended her olive branch.

"Mr. Li, I won't waste any more time. I have a movie that I've been preparing to shoot for 10 years. I filmed The Warlords to gather his resources. So far, I have barely met the target."

"Please go ahead."

"I'm sure you're somewhat familiar with this kind of subject matter, but this is probably the first time this subject matter has been commercialized."

What Chen Kexin wants to talk about is mainstream movies.

This main theme movie is called "October Besieged City".

It is a rare main theme in Hong Kong, and is positioned as the main theme among businesses.

The film currently lacks a director.

As for the actors' roles, they are not important. There are no supporting roles in this movie. They are all protagonists, or all supporting roles.

The protagonist of "The Siege of the City in October" is that magnificent history, that heroic blood, tears and war songs.

And sad song.

"October Siege..."

"Chen Kexin has spent ten years honing his skills, but he lacks a director who can lead the team here. It's incredible that he is the director himself, but he puts the responsibility of chief director on me."

Chen Kexin is the screenwriter, technical director, and behind the scenes.

The problem he faced was exactly the same as the one he was facing at that time.

He didn't want to hand over his hard work to others casually, so he wanted to do everything himself.

However, the result of doing everything himself was that he had no time to spare, so he had to give up the position of director.

Li Yun has proven his ability as a commercial film director.

Chen Kexin’s expectations for October Siege are also very simple.

Big seller.

The more tickets you sell, the better.

"With your ability to convey emotions and my framework, we can make this movie effective and let the world know that it's not just the theme of America across the ocean that can sell to the audience."

"So can we."

Chen Kexin stretched out her hand and smiled.

“It’s quite tempting.”

At this time, Li Yun thought about it.

He also shook Chen Kexin's hand. At this time, Chen Kexin also sighed.

"You are now well-known in our Hong Kong circle, and you are now a 'big star'."

"If we take one more step forward, we will become a superstar."

"Superstar, then, superstar"
