Chapter 618: A group of lovely fans, the backbone
In October, Zhao Hong was immersed in studying and read more than twenty crime mystery novels, most of which were read on the system at night.
Every day, there are various murder cases or criminal methods in his mind, which makes him accumulate a little anger in his heart, so he will inevitably be a little rude when doing certain things.
But these are all harmless.
After reading this book too much, Zhao Hong felt that if she did bad things, she would be a terrible person. In fact, some people don't have to do bad things to survive.
They just have evil thoughts in their hearts, and destroying or killing people makes them feel good.
Sometimes they even engage in thrilling IQ contests with the police, always walking on the edge of death. This is what they find most interesting.
In short, these people are not normal in their hearts.
Zhao Hong felt her scalp was numb after watching it too much, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Fortunately, she could relax by bragging and spanking with the students at school.
In the past month, "The Wind" has basically been cancelled. The film earned HK$38 million in the first three weeks in Hong Kong, but only HK$3.8 million in the fourth and fifth weeks.
Therefore, this movie has a box office of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.
Although this movie is a good movie, it is still a bit gloomy. For those in Hong Kong who like comedy, it is a bit uncomfortable to watch the movie. If this movie was not shot by Zhao Hong, it would probably be 2,000 yuan.
More than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars is a big deal.
This movie cost more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars in investment, mainly because it cost more to build Qiuzhuang. This Qiuzhuang directly cost more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. The official actors' remuneration is not too much. The main reason is that most of the actors who participated in the film
They are all from the mainland.
Their total remuneration is only about three million Hong Kong dollars.
As for Fa Ge and Dou Dou, they received box office dividends, and their remuneration was not included in the shooting costs.
There are no big scenes in this movie. Zhao Hong spent more than 40 million in this situation, so he can be considered a relatively skillful director. If it were left to Fatty Wang to shoot, it would have been done with 15 million Hong Kong dollars.
In fact, all his money is spent on practical purposes.
Zhao Hong uses the funds spent on filming movies rationally, and every penny spent must be meaningful. In addition to the crew's living expenses, a lot of money is actually spent on how to improve the quality of the movie.
Among them, the shooting equipment alone is top-notch in the world. The wear and tear cost of these equipment alone is a huge expense, and the film used for shooting also costs a lot of money.
When he is shooting a movie, as long as the lens feels bad, he will try it again, which will consume more film. In addition, other things such as soundtrack, color correction, etc. must be top-notch.
The money spent on these two trips was relatively large, and more than 40 million was easily spent.
Of course, the effect is still there. Compared with the Hong Kong movies of this period, his movies give the audience a high-end feeling. Every shot is impeccable. They will read the careful interpretation of the movie by the film critics in the newspaper.
There is a feeling that I am not aware of it.
Zhao Hong has also been praised by many movie fans in this regard. It is not without reason that he is the number one director in Hong Kong.
There is really no one who dares to challenge him in this regard. His peers have no doubt that he is the number one director in Hong Kong, except for his current prominent status.
In addition, since he started making movies in 1982, he has made one movie every year and has shot a total of eight movies. Among them, there have been many innovations in film language and lens, and he has also filled the gaps in some genre films in Hong Kong.
What's more, these eight movies are all equally good in terms of reputation and box office, and there is not a single bad movie, which makes other directors have to be convinced.
What I haven't mentioned yet is that the movie "The Wind" has been in theaters around the world for a month. Excluding the mainland, it has a total box office of 178 million U.S. dollars. The main reason why it did not reach 200 million U.S. dollars is that it was not released in Japan.
I know that if Zhao Hong's movie is released in Japan, basically 30 to 40 million US dollars will not be able to escape.
Furthermore, this movie has strong national characteristics, and it mainly talks about China’s Anti-Japanese War. This is a bit far away from many citizens of European and American countries, and they cannot feel the pain of it.
It feels like watching from a distance, so the sense of immersion is not very strong. If this was not the first time a secret room murder mystery film appeared, they would not be interested in watching it.
However, it can be said that the response of this movie in China has been very violent. It is the first time for many people to see this kind of eulogy of the main theme from a small perspective.
The characters in this kind of movie suddenly become more vivid, and since they don't have the high-level and complete character of the past, those characters feel like models, which is something that I don't like at this time when China is seeking innovation and change.
Several of the leading actors have become household names. As for Lao Zhang and Wang Zhiwen, they are hated to the point of gnashing of teeth. Their characters are so hated.
People nowadays are relatively simple, and there are not too many entertainment items. Watching movies and TV series is one of their important entertainment items.
Some time ago, Lao Zhang called him and said that he was being harassed by an old lady who was buying vegetables. He wanted to buy vegetables but she wouldn't sell them to him.
This has made him depressed for a long time, which has led to the fact that recently the task of buying groceries has been handed over to his wife.
But the daughter-in-law went out to buy groceries with a big belly, and the family was worried, so in the end they took his mother away from the elder sister and went shopping with the daughter-in-law.
As for Wang Zhiwen, the situation was similar. He heard that he had recently made a girlfriend, and when he was about to start his next movie, Guliang watched this movie, and then nothing happened.
Zhao Hong was overjoyed after hearing what happened to them. This was also happening now. If he entertained himself to death in the future, this kind of thing would never happen.
In fact, isn’t this a kind of luck?
As an actor, being able to play a few roles that make people hate them or make them sad and cry is the greatest compliment to an actor.
In fact, this phenomenon is very common in mainland China. As long as a movie or TV series becomes a hit, the protagonist will be remembered, the bad guys will be cast aside by the masses, and the good guys will be sympathized with.
There is a TV series "Don't Talk to Strangers", in which Feng Yuanzheng plays a husband who beats his wife. Because of his good performance, he also had similar problems.
At this stage, the mainland audience is really cute. They are not shy about praising good things, and they are not shy about lashing out at bad people.
It has been released in the mainland for about a month. According to statistics from relevant departments, the box office of "The Wind" has exceeded 60 million yuan. This does not include the box office of those secondary markets where it is played back and forth from village to village.
Mainly recorded are movie tickets sold by theaters at the municipal level or above.
This number of moviegoers is also incredible. You must know that movie tickets in the mainland are very cheap. You can watch a movie for only one or two yuan. That is, the number of moviegoers is more than 30 million, which is a number that has exceeded the millennium.
Two years later, "Wolf Warrior 2" received another 5.6 billion soft girl coins.
At present, the mainland's movie market is still very large. It's just that movies don't get a share of the box office, but the number of moviegoers continues to rise.
Mainland China's film market became sluggish mainly after 1994.
Zhao Hong attaches more importance to the mainland market than the United States. Whenever there is an opportunity, she will quickly follow up and make sure to get a share of the market that will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the future.
What I want to talk about is the income from the box office of this movie. After deducting the shooting costs, the Honghong Fund invested all this money in the mainland, mainly donating it to relevant departments. This money is used to resettle some veterans who are living in difficulty.
.
The Honghong Foundation only donated the money and never interfered in this matter. This is no longer something they can interfere with.
In fact, this was mainly because Zhao Hong saw some reports in the original time and space, saying that many veterans who came during the Republic of China were living in very difficult circumstances, which made him feel a little compassionate.
