Chapter 1755 Brother Sanmao Is Proud and Proud!

Since the first part was grandly released on January 1, 1981, "Best Partner" has met the audience on January 1 for four consecutive years.

Just like the problem in the "Mr. Zombie" series, although they racked their brains to continuously create new ideas, constantly add content, and constantly invite popular actors, after all, the audience still has a period of fatigue.

So on January 1 this year, after "The Best of Us" was released, the box office in Asia only received 420 million.

Although there is still a lot of profit, plus the sale of copyrights in Europe and the United States, the net profit is about 180 million Hong Kong dollars, but the "Best Partner" brand has become a bit dim.

However, according to the news that Yin Jun knows, "Best Partner 5" has now entered the filming stage, and will still meet the audience on time on January 1 next year.

no way.

New Arts City's signature brand is "Best Partner", and they have to rely on it.

New Art City has developed quite well in the past two years. Although there are strong opponents outside, Huang Baiming, Micah, Shi Tian and others have exploded with strong fighting power. More than 15 movies are released every year, and the average revenue is Breaking through 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

But the only movies with a profit exceeding 100 million are the "Best Partner" series.

There is also a "Police Academy", each of which can bring hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits to Princess Jin, but that was invested by the boss Lei Juekun himself and has nothing to do with New Art City.

Moreover, "Police School" was invested by Shao Yifu, Lei Juekun and Yin Jun. Among the actors and production staff for the main shooting, there was not a single one from New Art City. They were not thick-skinned, so naturally they would not be included in their own rights. under the name.

"The Best Partner" was filmed in Hong Kong in its previous life for 5 episodes, making it one of the longest-lived series.

Although New Art City is a bit impatient now, because of the charm of Yin Jun's book, and then Golden Princess Cinema has opened up the Asian cinema distribution of Kirin Cinema, the prospects of "The Best Partner" are still good.

At best, if it doesn't work, just take a two-year break. If you film it again, the audience will definitely buy it.

After all, superstars like Xu Guanjie still have many fans throughout Asia, more than in the previous life.

Among Xiangjiang movies, when talking about "The Best Partner", we must talk about the "Five Lucky Stars" series that accompanied it.

This movie was originally made by Golden Harvest in order to compete with "The Best Partner", which directly established Hong Jinbao's super glory in the 1980s.

With the "Five Lucky Stars" series, before entering the 1990s, Cheng Long was actually inferior to Hong Jinbao.

But his luck was also bad after "Hung Kam-bao", coupled with other factors, so he was famous for more than ten years, and then gradually became second-rate.

In 2018, Yin Jun also saw a video of Hong Jinbao strolling around in a wheelchair on the Internet.

Even though he was able to walk with a cane later on, it was still a bit disappointing for a generation of heroes to age too late.

Before you know it, the memory of an entire era will disappear!

But at least today, there is no such regret.

This feeling was even stronger when Yin Jun looked at Hong Jinbao, whose face was glowing red, and came over to shake hands with him with a hearty smile to say hello.

I have traveled to this era, and I am so lucky to be able to see these most radiant superstars!

"Brother Sanmao, you have to lose some more weight!" Holding Hong Jinbao's hand tightly, Yin Jun responded with a smile, "If we lose another 20 pounds and maintain our condition, we have to go to Hollywood again. Woolen cloth!"

"okay!"

Hong Jinbao laughed and said, "I'm just waiting for your call, Mr. Jun!"

He is a person who is in high spirits during happy events.

"The Five Lucky Stars" was released on the last day of August. In the first three days of its first weekend, the box office across Asia exploded with a box office of 280 million Hong Kong dollars.

Although it is not as good as the 350 million box office of "The King of Flowers 2" half a month ago, it is much higher than the 210 million box office of "Mr. Zombie 4".

That is the "Mr. Zombie" series that millions of people are obsessed with!

"Five Lucky Stars" was an instant hit as soon as it appeared, which is really unexpected.

Then in the next two weeks, the box office in Asia was 250 million and 200 million Hong Kong dollars respectively, and it reached 730 million Hong Kong dollars in three weeks, which was so high that even Hung Kam-bao couldn't believe it.

And because of such a good success, United Artists Film Company also paid a high price of 15 million US dollars to buy out the European and American copyrights.

With this amount alone, the cost of the entire movie has been recouped, and even after deducting dividends, there is still money to be made.

Why is the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" so high?

In addition to the very good reputation caused by the hilarious content and hot fighting, what is more important is the support of Golden Harvest Company and Kirin Asia Cinemas for this movie.

After the preview meeting, Kirin Asia Cinemas secured a total of more than 1,500 screens to screen "Five Lucky Stars".

Upon hearing the news, Jiahe, which had invested half of the investment, immediately decided to increase its publicity expenses by HK$50 million.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang are indeed very willing to commit to their film career. Apart from Qilin Films, only they can afford such publicity expenses in Hong Kong.

The powerful film schedule and publicity effect caused "The Five Lucky Stars" to be a box office hit.

According to estimates by industry insiders, the profit of "Five Lucky Stars" is at least 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is not guaranteed to exceed it.

It was under such circumstances that Hong Jinbao held a celebration party with joy and specially invited Yin Jun over.

Hong Jinbao is really proud this time.

In recent years, if we want to say which medium-sized film company has developed the best, it is not Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Film Company, nor McDonald's McDonald's Studio, nor Xuke Studio, but Hung Kam-po's Garbo company.

However, most of the reason for the good development of Jiabao Company is not due to the former pillar, Hong Jinbao.

Brother Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie" has been a hit for three consecutive years, earning him both fame and fortune.

Junior brother Yuen Biao's "The Raid" and "Looking for the Buddha" also broke through the limitations of Asian kung fu movies and rushed to Europe and the United States, becoming the second Hong Kong action star after Cheng Long.

At best, Hung Kam-po's "Fast Truck" was outstanding, but there were also performances by Yuen Biao and Cheng Long in it, so there was still no way to highlight him.

This time, "Five Lucky Stars" has several stars co-starring, but they are all responsible for the gags. The real starring role, as well as the action, is all Kam-po Hung.

When everyone watched "The Five Lucky Stars", they certainly liked the hilarious plots in it, but Hung Kam-bao's hearty fighting was even more amazing, and earned Hung Kam-bao a lot of praise.

Another point is that among the stars of "The Five Lucky Stars", Hung Kam-po has the biggest brand, and he also has the greatest control over the crew. Therefore, apart from Yin Jun's script, the success of "The Five Lucky Stars" has the biggest The hero is Hong Jinbao.

Now that Hong Jinbao has used his own efforts to become the top brother of Baohe Company again, why do you think he is unhappy?

Following Hong Jinbao was Yuan Biao.

In Seven Little Fortunes, Yuan Biao was only popular for about ten years in his previous life, and then he followed the path of his martial arts instructor and occasionally appeared in some movies and TV series.

Yuan Biao's life is not that rich, but he is definitely contented.

Moreover, this person has a pretty good personality, honest and hard-working, maintains the style of an old-school craftsman, and generally has no scandals.

Yin Jun likes people like this.

In addition, he is also extremely good in kung fu, so Yin Jun promoted him as such a kung fu superstar.

It is no exaggeration to say that today Yuan Biao has such a high reputation around the world and is known as another Jack Chen. Yin Jun must account for at least half of the credit.

"Master Jun, you are here!" Yuan Biao said respectfully, but there was no trace of the majesty of a kung fu superstar in him.

"Brother Biao, didn't you go to Thailand to film a movie?" Yin Jun said with a smile.

After the filming of "Looking for Buddha", Yuen Biao became a national idol in Thailand and received crazy popularity. He earned HK$15 million from three top-level advertisements alone.

Thailand's largest film company also specially invited Yuan Biao to shoot an action movie. The asking price was HK$10 million, which was very sincere.

Because he is a superstar himself, Hong Jinbao's restrictions on Yuan Biao are also greatly reduced.

Looking at so much money, there was no reason why Yuan Biao could not make money, so he went there in July and brought a team he had formed.

He didn't have this team in his previous life.

"Hey, their movie is basically a copycat of your "Looking for Buddha", and it wasn't shot that carefully. More than two months is enough time." Yuan Biao replied, "When it comes to movies, it's better to shoot Jun Shao Your talent is great!”

Speaking of this, he had a bit of a wistful expression on his face.

Although he has become a top action star in Hong Kong, Yuen Biao never has too many good movies.

"Yes, Mr. Jun, don't let the Thais steal our creativity!" Hong Jinbao said next to him, "Can we continue to pursue the victory next year and shoot "Search for Buddha 2"? We can take a year off for "The Raid 3" , otherwise we will have to repeat the mistake of "The Best Partner"."

There is another film similar to "The Best Partner", that is "Mr. Zombie", but Hong Jinbao would never dare to talk about his senior brother.

Yin Jun nodded and said, "Don't worry, "Looking for Buddha 2" can be played for a while. Brother Biao, keep up the good work. After next year, we will continue to make another exciting action movie."

Yuan Biao's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, Mr. Jun, I practice martial arts for more than 6 hours every day to ensure that I am in the best condition for filming!"

Hong Jinbao was happy and envious beside him.

God knows what kind of fate Yuan Biao had, to be taken so seriously by Yin Jun.

Among all the stars in Xiangjiang, how many are like Yuan Biao and Yin Jun who have written several scripts in a row, and all of them are big hits?
