Superstars start as villains

Chapter 101 Hong Kong mainland box office double champion.

"Have you ever thought about going back to the mainland to develop?" Zhou Xing looked at the neon lights outside the window.

Zeng Ruowen's hand holding the vegetables stopped for a moment: "Inland?"

In recent years, the development of the mainland market has become the top priority of Xiangjiang's entertainment circle, and it's no secret to top artists like them.

However, she grew up in Xiangjiang, and all her friends and relationships are here. Can she really develop better if she goes to the mainland?

People often have an instinctive fear of the unknown, which is why Warner Music has been persuading her to go to the mainland for development, but she has never agreed.

In fact, there is another reason why Zhou Xing proposed Zeng Ruowen to develop in the mainland. Her circle of friends in Xiangjiang highly overlaps with Xu Zhian. It is inevitable that she will have more contacts in the future. With her indecisive character, it is not impossible for her old relationship to rekindle. To be honest , for that, Zhou Xing is really not optimistic.

As for Zeng Ruowen's development prospects in the mainland, honestly Zhou Xing is not worried at all, Zeng Ruowen is a rare all-round female artist in the Hong Kong entertainment circle who can dance, sing and act, and can mix well in the mainland with milk tea Let alone her who is more versatile and famous?
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Zhou Xing said again: "Actually, you don't need to devote all your energy to the mainland market. Sign an agent to test the water, and take some appropriate activities. Just go to relax."

Zeng Ruowen was finally convinced, and the agent Zhou Xing recommended to her was naturally the famous Wang Jinghua.

However, when Zhou Xing called Wang Jinghua, the other party implicitly stated that she had some conflicts with Huayi recently, and the possibility of leaving could not be ruled out, and it was not a good time to sign with Huayi recently.

Regarding this, Zhou Xing faintly felt that this matter was not that simple.

Zeng Ruwen's agent had already persuaded her to go to the mainland to develop. Seeing that she was moved, she even persuaded and coaxed her to set up a studio in the mainland. The model was similar to that before Zhou Xing. For this reason, she even chatted with Anli on QQ long time.

Speaking of QQ, in June 04, Tencent was listed in Xiangjiang, the issue price was only 6 Hong Kong dollars, and Zhou Xing also bought 3.7 million shares under Anli's suggestion. Although the company is still in a state of losing money, Zhou Xing I am very optimistic about the future of this company, because the staff of the studio, including himself, are using this software, and the user experience is excellent.

As for why he didn't buy more, it's not that he has no money, but that most of the stocks issued by Tencent are in the hands of various securities companies, and not many of them are in the hands of retail investors. Had to give up.

On the other hand, with the arrival of New Year's Day in 2005, the release of "A World Without Thieves" has entered the final stage. The box office of "A World Without Thieves" this time can be said to be a big surprise for Xiaogangpao and Huayi. The box office was predicted to be 6000 million, but when the picture was released, the box office was as high as 1.26 million. How can Xiaogangpao not be overjoyed?This is his first film to break the [-] million box office mark.

Xiaogangpao is so proud that it is inevitable to get carried away. Zhang Weiping made him disgusting before, so naturally he has to return it. In fact, he is indeed qualified to win. The cost of A World Without Thieves is only 2000 million, and the box office is 1.26 million. Yiyi should be able to earn about 6000 million yuan, which does not include income from discs and overseas markets, and the return ratio is as high as 300%.

However, Zhang Weiping is not easy to mess with. He satirizes that Xiaogangpao has never seen the market. Although the cost of "House of Flying Daggers" is high, the global box office of more than 9000 million dollars is definitely a big profit. Ambush] has a box office of 1.56 million in the Mainland, a full 3000 million more than [A World Without Thieves].

No matter how you look at it, Xiaogangpao was still crushed by the national teacher. It was very uncomfortable. He wanted to vent his anger, but he was beaten in the face again. Xiaogangpao expressed his displeasure.

"I'm going to make a blockbuster movie, are you rich this time?" Xiaogangpao said to Mr. Wang angrily.

Mr. Xiao Wang's face froze. The two of them had been together for so many years, and he knew a lot about Xiaogangpao, but why didn't he have ambitions?In terms of scale, Huayi is much bigger than Zhang Weiping's new picture. If it weren't for the national teacher, Zhang Weiping wouldn't be worthy of carrying his shoes. Zhang Weiping can hold the national teacher to such a high level. Why can't he create a god?
"Yes, but the script must be determined by the company." President Xiao Wang raised a condition. After all, he wanted to make a blockbuster movie, and the investment must not be low. After all, Xiaogangpao has no experience in making blockbuster movies. Clearly dragging his feet, he can't make the same mistake.

"No problem." Xiaogangpao is different from the national teacher. His purpose of making movies is first to make money, and second to make a name for himself. When it is time to compromise, he does not hesitate at all. It is estimated that he can spit on Xiao Wang's face.

"A World Without Thieves" is drawn, which also indicates that "Kung Fu" has become the only contender for the annual box office champion. In fact, most people in the circle are very optimistic about the prospects of "Kung Fu".

Of course, this is also due to the fact that this is a comedy film, which is very suitable for the Lunar New Year, and it is also a movie of the star master. His name is inherently appealing.

The 5000 million box office in the first week of "Kung Fu" is also the basis for insiders to believe that this film has the potential to surpass "House of Flying Daggers".

Sure enough, the second week of [Kung Fu] continued the popularity of the first week, and the two-week box office exceeded [-] million. Most importantly, unlike [Housing Daggers], the audience gave [Kung Fu] a high evaluation. Many viewers said, When I came out of the theater, the line was still echoing in my mind: Charterer, why is there no water?

And not only the mainland box office exploded, but also [Kung Fu] in the Xiangjiang market had a whirlwind, sweeping away all the opponents of the year. Seeing that the box office of [Kung Fu] in Hong Kong exceeded 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, the Hong Kong media all exclaimed: Another Shaolin football.

That's right, after three years, he came back again.

In the end, the box office of [Kung Fu] Xiangjiang reached 6127 million, topping the 2004 box office champion.
Not only that, as "Kung Fu" went public in the country, the final box office was 1.73 million, far behind the 2 million of No.1.56 "House of Flying Daggers".

Double championships in the Mainland and Xiangjiang, this is definitely an unprecedented feat, and that man, he did it.

And what the media likes to talk about the most is that Master Xing did not "take advantage of it". One of his opponents is a national teacher, who is the first in the entire Chinese film industry. Known as the king of mainland comedy and the king of Lunar New Year films.

With them as opponents, to achieve such an achievement, Master Xing is destined to leave a grand mark in the history of Chinese film.

For a while, both the mainland media and Hong Kong media were reporting this feat.

And the Lunar New Year in 2005 is quietly approaching.
