At the same time, Ma Qingyang's second film of the New Art City Movie, "Best Partner" was officially released and sold at the box office.
In fact, these two movies were filmed in two crews at the same time, and "Best Partner" has a lot of intense action scenes and black technology scenes, and the shooting efficiency and post-editing are more time-consuming, which is a month later than "Happy Ghost"!
However, in this way, the situation of the same company killing each other is also avoided.
As soon as this movie came out, it was earth-shattering and refreshing.
Because Xiangjiang did not have such a movie before this.
Most of the previous Shaw Brothers movies, including Golden Harvest films, were kung fu films, plus some comedies, and there was no movie like "Best Partner" similar to the 007 variant.
In addition, Hu Guanjie is now the most popular singer in Xiangjiang, and he is recognized as the god of singing at this time, and there are many fans, who have entered the cinema one after another.
New Arts City avoids martial arts films and takes the Cantonese comedy route, but is packaged at the level of Western fluent and pleasing production.
New Art City has made a breakthrough, all thanks to "Best Partner" and its series of sequels.
The film is a hilarious spy film, full of chase and stunt shots, as well as quirky tech gadgets.
For more than a decade, kung fu films have been cramped in production, either using woods and clearings or building crude sets, and now "Best Partner" has a bright and pleasing set design, and the special effects are even better.
Moreover, the whole film is full of vitality, in addition to the European location and the barrage of jokes, there is also a whistle theme song, the lyrics are frivolous and scoundrel, as if reflecting the new character of Xiangjiang who is full of confidence.
In addition, the film is played by singer Hu Guanjie, which is just in line with the Cantopop boom that is emerging in Southeast Asia.
At that time, this diversified entertainment model led by the three brothers of the Xu family really became the mainstream of Hong Kong films, and at this time, Xinyicheng, which focused on comedy and hot action, also rose for a while, becoming one of the few producers that could still maintain its influence in the Golden Harvest era.
And that year's Academy Awards gave birth to double yolk eggs, and the male protagonists of the two commercial films sat on the actor's side, which was even more difficult to achieve in the future awards.
can compare with those flying cars and explosions, in fact, I prefer the small details in the film, especially the poor woman played by Ai Jia, who actually pulled out the car keys when requisitioning the citizen's car, and the first acquaintance with the bald guy is also super fun.
After watching the movie, they recommended it to their friends and family.
"A neurotic and a psychotic, a 163 can't beat a person who is always unreasonable, "Best Partner" is the best friend!"
"The script is simply genius, the whole film is natural, the laughter is amazing, the remote control car PK car is really a wonderful idea!"
"Hu Guanjie's ghost horse nymphomaniac, handsome and stupid, Ma Jia's stupid and wise, bald head is full of jokes, double stupid and noisy police settings, dressed in a Hollywood-style shell, but mixed with local comedy elements in Xiangjiang, although nervous, but expensive in down-to-earth, hee-hee-ha-ha
"A mix of various technological elements, 007-style snitch treasure theft, Aijia's image of a man's wife, a team of treasure exploration adventures, plus funny elements, featured supporting actors, wonderful!"
It turned out that time and space, this movie just got 2.6 million box office in the Golden Princess Theater!
Now Ma Qingyang and Zou Wenhuai are united, and this movie is also released in Golden Harvest Cinemas.
So in this time and space, this movie won 3.5 million at the box office!
This is the first film of Xiangjiang Films to break the box office of 3.00000!
That's not all, he is also very popular in treasure islands, Southeast Asia and other places, and even opened up the Japanese and Korean markets and the American market.
His overseas box office is worth more than 100 million, but because of the low proportion of overseas box office share, it is actually equivalent to about 70 million box office in Xiangjiang!
In total, the global box office is equivalent to 100 million!
If you follow Li Bancheng's logic, the box office of the first part of "Best Partner" is equivalent to 100 billion later!
When the box office was shared, Ma Qingyang held a grand celebration party.
At the celebration reception, there were piles of banknotes like a hill, totaling 5 million, which was the box office share and reward for the first meritorious man Hu Guanjie!
Then Mark Jia, Zhang Yijia, Zeng Zhiyu and others also shared 5 million shares and rewards.
Now even Guan Zhilin, who has made a few cameo appearances, can get a 100,000 share reward.
It was much better than they expected, and everyone was beaming.
They all felt that it was too enjoyable to follow a boss like Ma Qingyang.
This owner is not stingy at all and very generous (cgce)!
The directors, screenwriters, actors and behind-the-scenes staff of Shaw Brothers Film and TVB who came to this reception were envious of Hu Guanjie and their ability to share so many box office shares and rewards!
"If we follow Boss Shao, it will be thousands of yuan a month, what can we do!"
"It's still Boss Ma who is generous, and he has a future with him!"
"I'm hesitating to leave Shaw Brothers Films, there's really no future with Boss Shao!"
"What are you hesitating about, you didn't see the real money here, Boss Shao will definitely not be so generous!"
"It still depends on whether Boss Ma is willing to ask us, as long as Boss Ma is willing to ask us, I will jump ship immediately!"
After this celebration reception, there was another wave of job-hopping, and some backbone directors, screenwriters and behind-the-scenes work teams from Shaw Brothers Films and TVB TV jumped over.
Originally, Shao Yifu was going to start shooting a big-budget movie to fight against Xinyicheng's "Best Partner", but it turned out that the director, screenwriter and behind-the-scenes staff had gone a lot, resulting in no way to start a few big productions.
In the end, I can only make a small production and follow the trend of "Best Partner".
And he is very conniving at those small film companies to follow the trend of Xinyicheng, and threatens to the outside world that as long as it is a movie that follows Xinyicheng, the Golden Princess Cinema of Xinyicheng does not want it, and they Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is completely welcome.
All of a sudden, there are many small companies that are not strong but difficult to entangle, and they began to follow the trend and plagiarize the movies of Xinyicheng, including the "Happy Ghost" series, the "Best Partner" series, and the "Mr. Zombie" series.
Let's talk about it here, not long ago, Ma Qingyang dug Lin Zhengying over and started filming the "Mr. Zombie" series with him as the core.
......
The zombie film that the audience is most familiar with is "Mr. Zombie" in 1985, which brought together Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao, Hu Guanying and Li Saifeng, and won a box office of more than 20 million after its release, ranking fifth in the annual movie box office list in Xiangjiang.
It can be called "the peak of appearance", which has set off a "zombie fever" in Xiangjiang.
In the five years since, more than 100 zombie films have been released in Xiangjiang, which shows the popularity and influence of "Mr. Zombie".
After "Mr. Zombie", Lin Zhengying became an iconic figure in zombie films.
And the theme of "Mr. Zombie" has also launched seven films one after another, from "Mr. Zombie" in 1985 to "New Mr. Zombie" in 1992, what is more interesting is that "Mr. Zombie" is the pinnacle of zombie films, and "New Mr. Zombie" is the last glory of this series.
One song and one tail, as if reincarnation.
The two films gathered the same characters, starring Lin Zhengying, Qian Xiaohao, and Hu Guanying, but in the end they ushered in diametrically opposite fates.
"Mr. Zombie", released in 1985, should be the most familiar zombie movie to the audience.
Many people call this movie the pioneering work of zombie films, this movie can only be regarded as the pinnacle of zombie films, but it is a bit inappropriate to call it a pioneering work.
When this movie was released that year, it won a box office of 20.09 million, which can be described as the highest record for zombie films, and no zombie film has been able to break this record since then.
The approximate plot of the story: "The rich squire Ren Fa's father coerced and lured him to get a piece of feng shui treasure land, and under the guidance of Mr. Feng Shui, his father was buried for 20 years and moved to the grave to benefit his descendants.
Uncle Ran Jiu inspected the tomb and learned that Mr. Feng Shui had a personal grudge with the Ren family back then, and he did something in the tomb, and the body of the old lady Ren had changed malignantly after the second sergeant year.
Uncle Nine proposed to be cremated on the spot, and only at the request of Master Ren did the bones be moved to Yizhuang.
Although carefully cared for, the old lady Ren still turned into a zombie and killed his son Ren Fa.
The zombies of the old lady and Ren Fa will appear again, and Uncle Jiu, together with his disciples Qiusheng and Wencai, will destroy the zombies!"
It is also interspersed with the story of Qiusheng's encounter, which has become a classic of film and television dramas.
"Zombie Family", which was released in 1986, is Lin Zhengying's work of striking while the iron is hot after the hit of "Mr. Zombie". (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The setting of "delay agent" is added to the play, which can be described as a brain-opening, and the people who watch it laugh.
The play also lived up to expectations that year, winning a box office of 17.07 million, ranking eighth in the annual box office list of Xiangjiang.
The general plot of the story: "By chance, the antique dealer Guo Dunhuang and his apprentices found an ancient tomb, in the tomb lay three zombies with rune paper on their foreheads, in the body of the zombie, Guo Dunhuang found a way to make money, but inadvertently knocked off the rune paper that suppressed the zombies, causing the zombies to be resurrected, and his apprentice was seriously injured because of fighting with the zombies.
Guo Dunhuang and his party found Dr. Lin and asked him for help, and Dr. Lin told the three that zombies were very dangerous and must be completely destroyed.
However, Guo Dunhuang was unwilling to give up the cash cow that he had finally obtained, and at the same time, the police also moved when he heard the news, and the situation was very chaotic.
The male and female zombies tried every possible means to find a way to escape, but the little zombies made friends with human children!"
The ending of this movie has a bit of a family flavor.
"Mr. Phantom", which was released in 1987, had a box office of 19.46 million that year, and this movie was second only to "Mr. Zombie" in terms of box office scale, but Cheng Long and Zhou Yanfa in 1987 dominated the box office list, and the box office ranking of "Mr. Phantom" did not even see the shadow of the top ten.
This movie is not a pure zombie film, the film integrates a lot of elements such as Zhiwei and folklore, and it can be said that the setting is fuller and fuller on the basis of the previous ones.
And the villain has also become a sideline who can cast evil magic. []
"Uncle Zombie", released in 1988, is the only "Mr. Zombie" series of films that Lin Zhengying did not participate in, the film starred Chen Laoyou and Wu Laoma, and the supporting roles were Li Lizhen and Qian Jiale (the two were still filming at the time).
After its release, it won a box office of 14.03 million, which was a good result that year.
The most classic part of the film should be a funny story of a monk playing tricks on each other, and the plot of catching zombies has been greatly weakened, after all, there is no Lin Zhengying in charge, so the final ending is to poison the zombies.
However, Li Lizhen was at the peak of her appearance back then, exquisite and cute, and she was very eye-catching.
"One Eyebrow Chief" released in 1989 is a work directed and acted by Lin Zhengying, and the master-apprentice combination is still Lin Zhengying and Qian Xiaohao.
This movie can see Lin Zhengying's sense of innovation, not sticking to the traditional Chinese novels, but integrating Western vampire elements into it, and at the end of the movie, there is a scene of Chinese magic fighting Western zombies, which is thrilling.
However, the box office of this movie was only 11.19 million after its release, and it can be seen from the box office that the audience is still a little unaccustomed to the works that integrate this kind of elements.
1990's "Exorcist Police" was Lin Zhengying's most daring innovation, and the result was also the most disappointing.
The background of the story has been moved to modern times, and Lin Zhengying plays not the chief of Maoshan Road, but a modern policeman with exorcism spells.
And the opponent is not a ghost or the like, but has become the Jiuju faction of Dongying.
Judging from the results, the box office of "Exorcist Police" is only 364, which can be said to be the worst box office among the seven Mr. Zombie series.
And this movie also indicates that Lin Zhengying's zombie film is completely coming to an end.
Since this movie, except for one "African Monk" in 1991, which broke 10 million at the box office and won 10.95 million at the box office, none of the other movies exceeded 10 million, which can be said to be extremely bleak.
......
Although the "Mr. Zombie" series of movies can't catch up with the previous two series, it also gets a big box office at a small cost.
The production cost of the first film was less than 3 million, and it won the local box office of 20 million and the overseas box office of more than 30 million, which also made a lot of money, which made Shao Yifu and the bosses of other small film companies envious to death.
They began to follow the trend like crazy, and made dozens of "Mr. Zombie" movies in a few months, which was extremely excessive.
Shao Yifu instructed the following to continue the dark horse Qingyang, saying that Ma Qingyang is a playboy and has a leg with the female artists who signed the New Arts City Movie.
Ma Qingyang only smiled at such a rumor-mongering rumor, and did not refute it at all.
Because what people say is right, how can I refute it.
And he needs such a playboy character so that he can continue to be obscure.
But they didn't expect that Shao Yi helped them to work harder, and they even said that Ma Qingyang had a leg with the happy girl group signed by Xinyicheng Films.
Ma Qingyang was not angry.
Because the happy girl group itself is his beautiful girl cultivation, it will be his girlfriend ...... after a few years.
