Hong Kong Stubborn

American actors are easier to find but not easy to invite. Generally speaking, the complete script is the stepping stone, but Luo Junyan hasn't got the script yet.

In Hollywood, through the American Screen Actors Guild, you can easily find the actors you need. But there are many rights protection clauses. In short, if you exceed the contract requirements during the shooting, you can add money or be punished by law.

In Hollywood, it is hard to imagine that there will be actors who can accept all kinds of movies like Fa Ge, and the artists are first classified in the genre. You make canned sardines, so you can't put it in canned beef. North American audiences pay according to the packaging. If the product is not in the right version, you won't need to make canned food in the future.

Action film artists will be divided very carefully, and each actor will be marked with a detailed label. Muscular action actors and harmonious action actors belong to different types. Actors who can cross the label definition are either really genius or considered by the audience to be a genius.

Luo Junyan also wanted to take the opportunity to apply to join the Screen Actors Guild of America. Only by breaking into the enemy's interior would it be easy to squeeze and divide. At least he can look at the information a few more times. As a result, there was no way to join the club, and he did not meet the eligibility for joining the American Screen Actors Guild.

In fact, that's just one thing. He hasn't starred in any film that signed with the union. Although it doesn’t have to be a film signed with a union, it does not have to be a film of the same standard in the United States, but you have to work for more than 30 days, and you must apply for membership within this period of time.

So Luo Junyan could only turn to the American fellow Harvey. As a result, with the help of Brother Harvey, I don’t know which clause was found. I turned over 3000 dollars and became a member of the American Screen Actors Guild.

After becoming a member, it is convenient to check the information, as long as you don't care what the staff stares at you.

Luo Junyan first took a fancy to Shange Yundun, this Belgian actor is a real martial artist and has been in Hollywood for seven or eight years.

Shange Yundun has starred in several films, the only one that is somewhat influential is "Blood Spot" filmed in Xiangjiang in 1986. When the film was released in the United States in 1988, it broke the spring box office record, but he himself did not become popular.

Not becoming popular means that the pay is not high, and actors who are not paid can be invited to audition.

Soon Shangge Yundun met Luo Junyan. He could accept a salary of 150,000 U.S. dollars, but the schedule might not work. Because he has signed to star in "Remade Warrior", there is less than two months left.

Luo Junyan felt that there was no problem at all. Shangge Yundun only needed to go to Xiangjiang to shoot for 10 days, and he was guaranteed not to take up his day.

10 days? What can be photographed? Hollywood celebrities are not able to understand the rhythm of Xiangjiang's filming. Then treat it as a trip to Xiangjiang for a vacation. To be honest, if it weren’t for seeing "Sin City One: Fighter of Ghosts" being released in the United States well, Shangge Yundun would not go to Xiangjiang to play a small role. Supporting role.

Jin Zhehe also found a big professional wrestler who had just changed careers to play as another boxer, and a gloomy-looking lean and thin guy who played as a gun killer. The roles of these two are not so heavy. They only cost US$20,000 per person for one week, and the tour group has two more members.

Female action actors are not easy to find. As a result, I happened to see Karen Shepherd who had just returned to the United States from Hong Kong to develop. Karen Shepherd used to run the game in Yuen Biao's movies. Luo Junyan had some impression of her. After reading the information this time, she realized that she was actually the first all-American female karate champion.

Karen Shepherd agreed upon receiving the invitation phone call. She is familiar with the operation process of Xiangjiang, and does not need to cling to Hollywood's in-depth talks and negotiations one by one.

Luo Junyan is still very famous in Xiangjiang, and she can trust her with this reputation. The two people settled the matter on the phone with a salary of 30,000 U.S. dollars, and the shooting time was only one week.

There should not be too many European and American faces in the new film, otherwise it will become an unflattering sandwich film, three or four roles are just right. After finishing the business, Luo Junyan and Jin Zhehe bid farewell to the old sister and brother-in-law who were on holiday and took the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang.

On November 3, Luo Junyan finally got the script of "Sin City III: The Battle of Redemption".

The cost budget for this film was completed by Wen Jun, and the total investment reached 10 million Hong Kong dollars. Wen Jun is certainly not as detailed as Bian Sicong, and it is impossible to cover everything. He can only round up his investment into a whole number.

The main storyline of the third part starts with A Jun replacing A Rong as the leader of a party, and then handing over the drug business to Crow as a starting point, linking up the suspense part left by the previous one.

This is his private transaction with the crow. A Jun used a heavy fist to beat Aaron to death. The Crow took the opportunity to collect the body to send the person away, and Ajun would challenge A Rong, and if the challenge was successful, he would hand over the business to the Crow.

After taking the leading position, Ajun had to smuggle high-end goods, force girls to sell sex, organize underground casinos, and loan usury to the poor like brother male. This is the rule of survival of the Kowloon Walled City. The weak will feed on the strong and the fittest will survive.

A-Jun failed to detoxify several times, but A-Lian didn't know that A-Long was not dead, and hated him deeply. A Jun was extremely depressed, he could only vent his emotions by playing underground ring, and temporarily forget the pain in reality.

Crow's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. He wants to take advantage of A Jun's chance to take the stage and kill him, trick A-Lian into acting for him, and record the time when A Jun's drug addiction took place. At the same time, the crow wants to take the opportunity to get rid of the uncle Cai, sit on the long-empty seat of the dragon in the Kowloon Walled City, and dominate the rivers and lakes.

A Rong used the huge sums of money in a secret American account to invite three masters of fighting, and secretly returned to Xiangjiang, this time she was going to cut off A Jun's head.

Along returned to Xiangjiang secretly after healed, and he wanted to take Alian away.

The underground boxing ring of the Kowloon Walled City staged another battle of life and death. Finally, A-Lian learned the truth and did not want A-Long to commit suicide in public at the ring because he was controlled by the crow again. Along died in the ring in place of Ajun, and temporarily entrusted Ajun to avenge Alian.

Ah Jun finally got rid of his drug addiction on the ring under Aaron's stimulation and won the final victory in the boxing match. But he was also interrupted by his right leg, which he was best at using, and his body was half disabled.

Uncle Cai used A Jun to seek revenge as a cover, and while A Rong and Crow were fighting, he sent an American killer to kill A Jun, A Rong, and Crow together. It turns out that Uncle Cai is the biggest black hand behind the scenes. He has long wanted to become the leader of the Kowloon Walled City.

In the end, the killer failed to kill A Rong, and A Jun and A Rong temporarily cooperated to kill the killer and escaped from the Kowloon Walled City together.

Uncle Cai immediately framed A Jun for colluding with A Rong, and ignoring the rules of the Kowloon Walled City, used firearms to kill the leading crow of the alliance, and issued an order to kill A Jun again.

Whoever gets rid of A Jun and A Rong, whoever can take the lead position of the crow, still leaves a lot of suspense in the ending.

On November 12th, "Sin City III: The Battle for Redemption" started shooting. This time everyone is familiar, and the actors can easily get into the rhythm. The progress of the filming is very fast. Only Luo Junyan's daily bruises remain.

Luo Junyan also specially produced a sub-shot script for three American actors. This is a regular production process in Hollywood. The actors act in accordance with the sub-shot script and do not need to analyze the roles themselves.

It is impossible for Luo Junyan to waste a lot of time to let American actors familiarize and understand the production process of Xiangjiang. There is indeed no need for this, and they simply follow their standards.

On November 20th, "Five Million Inspector Leiluo's Biography II: Father and Son Love Rivals" finally came to an end. The box office score was 23.13 million Hong Kong dollars, which was a full 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars less than the first one. It was hit hard by the Titans.

On November 29, "Sin City II: Deep Prison Titans" was released, and it has been in theaters for more than 2 months.

The film's final box office score was 49.27 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only one step away from the 50 million Hong Kong dollar mark. However, the attendance rate has indeed dropped to the limit, and the Oriental Snow Country Cinema cannot be too partial to its own boss, after all, it is still necessary to open the door to do business.

This time, the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas won a box office of 30.67 million Hong Kong dollars, stunning the Xiangjiang entertainment circle. Debao Cinemas had already released "Sin City II: Prison Titans" more than half a month in advance, and only got a box office of 18.6 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a bit short.

In early December, Snowman Century Entertainment received a box office share of 13.03 million Hong Kong dollars, and the best partner film company received a box office share of 5.58 million Hong Kong dollars.

Luo Junyan also has to thank Debao Cinemas for the last-minute discount of five to five accounts. After the second tribe painting of "Sin City", a film produced by Debao Film Company was released on the Debao Cinemas line, and then completely bid farewell to the Hong Kong film circle.

Subsequently, the independent cinemas that joined Debao Cinemas were scattered in a rush. The four leading cinemas rented from Shaw Brothers were reported to be sold to real estate companies for commercial development after being demolished.

At the same time, the independent theaters that joined the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas also collectively withdrew. The hot movies have been caught, and there is no need to be pretentious and have different dreams.

The Xiangjiang Film Market was quite lively at this time, and the original market structure was completely disrupted. There are a large number of independent theaters in the market, and all kinds of people in the circle who want to form a theater line are running around, and they are very busy.

For the time being, there are only 10 self-built theaters left in the Oriental Snow Country Cinema Line. Adjusting the movie schedule to two for each schedule, after removing the burden, it is much easier, and the marketing strategy can be communicated and executed more smoothly.

In mid-December, "Sin City One: Champion of Gods and Ghosts" was launched across Japan and South Korea, and got box office results comparable to "The Flying Eagle Project". The box office of Japan was 986 million yen, the number of movie viewers in South Korea exceeded 1.1 million, and the total box office of the two places was nearly HK$130 million.

XJ International Entertainment Media received a box office share of 32.44 million Hong Kong dollars and distributed it to the best partner film company 9.73 million. Luo Junyan made 22.71 million. Snow Knight’s out-of-town issuance income is 19.5 million Hong Kong dollars, 40% of which is allocated to Taiwan’s capital, and I have 11.7 million Hong Kong dollars left.

A film is really profitable, and the "Sin City" series is not an exaggeration to say that it is a profiteering series.

Since Luo Junyan rescued Yang Dengkui, Yang Dengkui has ceased to participate in the issuance of Japan and South Korea. People want to face the tree and the skin, and then to divide the profit is regardless of identity. What's more, the Snow Knights Publishing Company has given up all the interests of Taiwan for his sake. The cost of the issuance is paid by itself, and it is simply not making a penny.

Yang Dengkui has determined to turn to the right business, with the goal of TV station business. So he is now obligated to help Luo Junyan raise funds in Taiwan, and he can't get any benefit from it. He is a very particular quack.

At the beginning of December, "Sin City One: Champion of Gods and Ghosts" was released in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and the box office was also very good. Not only the Asian market is still profitable, but the most important thing is the dollar-earning market.

The European and American markets have just finished paintings across the board. The theaters in the Chinese-populated areas over there have a relatively long show time, which has been delayed until December. The overall box office of the European and American markets just exceeded 34 million U.S. dollars, and the North American market accounted for more than 70%. The box office performance is actually not very good, but the income is not bad.

XJ International Entertainment Media also received 28.78 million Hong Kong dollars. This time, the Snow Knight Distribution Company deducted 11 million Hong Kong dollars in advance of the promotional expenses, and the best partner film company once again received 8.63 million Hong Kong dollars.

Snow Knight’s release income was 18.56 million Hong Kong dollars, and the interest paid to Taiwan’s capital was more than 7.4 million. The borrowing interest was as high as 25%. All parties rely on this film to make a lot of money.

On December 21, the seven completed theaters were officially merged into the Oriental Snow Country Cinema Line. The Oriental Snow Country Cinema Line is now fully formed, with 17 self-built cinemas covering all major commercial areas of Xiangjiang, and the market competitiveness is definitely one of the best.

The last stop of Bian Sicong and Lomez's honeymoon trip is Xiangjiang. After returning to Xiangjiang, they can return to work after a week of rest. Luo Meizi has now moved into Bian Sicong's half-mountain villa. Luo Shaotang refuses to live with his children. He has become accustomed to the environment of the Mong Kok garden.

On December 27th, "Sin City III: The Battle of Redemption" came to an end, and the post-production was handed over to Wang Xiaopang.

Luo Junyan didn't feel very good about shooting this time. This is the case for the series of movies. After the most exciting one appeared, the subsequent filming was basically a dog-tailed sable. Luo Junyan decided that "Sin City IV: The Throne of Darkness" was the last part of this series, and the fifth part was no longer being filmed, and it was impossible to make money.

Luo Junyan convened a meeting with all senior staff the next day, and the plan for next year must be implemented.

In 1991, the rental income of the Snowman Times Building reached 30.2 million Hong Kong dollars. With the rent paid by Beyond, a huge sum of 120 million Hong Kong dollars was deposited in his personal account.

Each company has already paid taxes, and you can clearly see the results this year.

The funds in the XJ International Entertainment Media account are 42.86 million Hong Kong dollars, the funds in the Snowman Century Entertainment account are more than 21 million Hong Kong dollars, the funds in the Snowman Times Media account are more than 32 million Hong Kong dollars, and the funds in the Snow Knights issuing company account are 146 million Hong Kong dollars. , There are still more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars in issuance income in other cities that have not been recovered.

The net profit of Royal Garden Entertainment Co., Ltd. this year is more than 82 million Hong Kong dollars. After New Year's Day, it will conduct a detailed audit to confirm the specific amount of dividends in 1991.

The account of the Oriental Snow Country Cinema line is more than 27 million Hong Kong dollars, and a small amount of box office share has not been paid.

Luo Junyan felt that the open space in South Korea could be built with his current strength.
