Hong Kong Entertainment’s Life Simulator

Home Alone was released on Christmas Day and lasted until December 31st. It grossed more than 30 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America in eight days, and the horror figures are catching up (never compromise)!

But (Never Compromise), it is the movie that reflects reality, and it has such a linkage and sensational effect. The prologue of the 30 million blockbuster movie, Home Alone, is so family-friendly, and it is the best for this movie. It was released on the same schedule, which is why it has this crazy record.

The box office in North America exceeded US$30 million in eight days, in Europe it exceeded US$27 million in eight days, in Hong Kong it grossed nearly HK$20 million, in eight days it grossed over HK$60 million, and in Japan it grossed 1.8 billion yen in eight days.

It was sold outright by Li Guoxing in other places. At that time, Lao Li planned to pay 50 million, and Zhao Donghuai said whether it should be 50 million or 100 million. Wait until you get it working and look at the box office data in various places to discuss it.

Li Guoxing agreed.

After all, at this stage, if he makes Zhao Donghuai dissatisfied, this second-hand dealer who thrived on the sales of Hong Kong films will no longer be able to enjoy this bowl of rice in the future.

The average box office performance of Home Alone in the island countries is more than 200 million yen per day, which is still the same as "Never Compromise". If it continues, it will be able to pocket more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in just one island market.

With a buyout of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, Li Guoxing can make a small profit in the island country market, and all the profits will be made in Stars, Malaysia, Thailand and South Korea!

Christmas has begun, and the first to fifth days are still holiday time in Europe and the United States. Home Alone once again grossed US$25 million at the box office in North America and more than US$21 million in Europe in five days.

Hong Kong has accumulated a total box office of 33 million Hong Kong dollars, Wanwan has accumulated more than 80 million new dollars, and the island country has accumulated a total of 3.3 billion yen.

As the long holiday comes to an end, this holiday comedy blockbuster is really making money every day.

On January 6, Zhao Donghuai met Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock, including (Pretty Woman) directors Xu Anhua and Guan Jinpeng at the Zhao Financial Building.

After being served tea to several people, Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "Everyone, please fly to North America to promote the film. You can still look forward to the box office performance of (Pretty Woman)."

"This blockbuster focuses on Bruce. After all, Bruce is already famous in the film industry. We can also ask Brother Gai to help promote it."

"Last year, Brother Gai and his father announced the release of Police Story 2, which was still very successful!"

Police Story 2 continues to this day and has really made more than 60 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. Is this a great announcement from Brother Gai? ? No, that's due to multiple factors.

The first is the peak period of the (Never Compromise) explosion effect. William II helped the townspeople of Hinckley win the lawsuit and received US$360 million in compensation. When the world paid the most attention to him, he conveniently announced the release of Police Story 2 , which made the movie suddenly famous all over the world.

That was the great east wind that borrowed (never compromise) the effect of bringing movies into reality.

Followed by (Police Story 1), which grossed a total of 27 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. It has a certain audience base. Along with the theater sales, there are also video tapes that have conquered the market.

Even in the dimension before Zhao Donghuai traveled, Hong Kong kung fu movies have always had a large audience in the North American and European video tape markets. At this stage (Police Story 1), they have cultivated a wave of fans in large theaters, as well as fans cultivated by new gun action movies. Kung Fu fans…

By the time Police Part 2 was released, the market was already very popular.

Therefore, the third major reason why Cheng Long's second film was able to sell for US$60 million is because of the publicity hot spot effect promoted by Bill Guy, a dropout who became a billionaire in just nine years.

With 60 million U.S. dollars in North America, Cheng Long can be considered a big hit. He has completely left behind his brothers Hong Yanbao and Yuan Biao, and truly squeezed into the ranks of global kung fu superstars such as Andy Lau and Lin Zhengying.

It can only be said that he dared to spend 80 million Hong Kong dollars to promote the North American market for his first film in 1985. If he spent real money on it, even if he lost money on the first film, he would make a huge profit on the second one.

Having said this, Zhao Donghuai re-explained, "You don't have to keep Gai Li too busy, just let him brag about it in the media. To really make a big announcement, you still have to invite Adjani, Naomi Watts, Ni Can Kidman and the others interact to promote it."

"Including Cameron Diaz, who is currently famous."

"With the joint promotion of these stars and the cooperation of AMC theaters, it will be released in a few days of promotion."

Today is the 6th, and it has been announced until January 11th, so it will be available in theaters on the 12th to start a new romantic comedy blockbuster that will hit the streets.

In China, January 28th is New Year’s Eve, and January 29th is the first day of the Lunar New Year... But in fact, the box office of the serious Spring Festival period is also very impressive. In recent years, with the bombardment of blockbusters, this period has attracted a lot of attention. The effect, the family-watching movie model, is also beginning to show its signs.

After deciding on the promotion plan for "Pretty Woman", Zhao Donghuai flew to Tung Chung to film the movie.

It's January 6th.

When Zhao Donghuai arrived in Tung Chung by helicopter, he looked down from the sky at the resort villas outside the theme park, which were lined with 20 or 30 villas by the sea. They were all in good shape.

Construction started in early August and it took four months. The holiday villa with a maximum height of only two floors was built very quickly, much faster than Wanjia comprehensive shopping mall.

There are also several planned 30-story resort hotels that are also rising from the ground, with five or six stories in height.

On the other hand, looking at Tung Chung from the sky, it is obviously much more prosperous than before August last year. There are not only villagers from more than a dozen natural villages in Tung Chung area, but also many people who come here to make a living, including Tai O and Lantau South. Many residents from various villages such as Mui Wo and Mui Wo come here to develop here.

After all, New World Passenger Transport’s stable daily flights connect all parts of Lantau Island.

………………

Time flew by.

After New Year's Day, there is Spring Festival, and then there is Lantern Festival after Spring Festival.

Not only the citizens of Hong Kong's Haowan experienced a perfect holiday with constant blockbusters and good films, but also the European and American film circles were bombarded by Zhao's Pictures and gained countless fans.

Among them, "Pretty Woman" has a strong performance, but Asia still has to watch "The New Mr. Zombie" and "One Man 2". Ah Ying and Andy Lau not only relied on these two movies to reach new highs in the field of action movies.

(New Mr. Zombie) This kind of time-travel variant movie has amazed countless movie fans. Gu Zai, who was only 17 years old after the Spring Festival, immediately became a popular fried chicken.

Goo Jai, who was relatively unknown, suddenly became a sensation in the film industry, catching up with the popularity and intensity of F4. The main reason is that the character he played in "Mr. Zombie" is so cool and lovable.

As for Goo Jai himself... Who dares to say that he is worse than a certain handsome guy in F4?

F4's first appearance in the film industry was Johnnie To's Underworld, which was also released after the Spring Festival. The four's acting skills also began to be recognized and praised by film critics, who all praised them as better than the idol drama Meteor Garden. My acting skills have improved a lot.

But in comparison, a large number of media directly put F4's acting skills on par with Gutianle. Some media even started to shout that Gutianle should be ranked fifth in F4.

Around this Spring Festival, from Cai Shaofen, Cameron Diaz to Louis Koo, they really belong to Hong Kong stars and are the latest benchmark for the rise of the new generation!

Compared with this group of little guys, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Guorong, and Lin Qingxia are really actors at the level of uncles and aunties.

If you want to say regret, it is (Forrest Gump).

Although the movie (Forrest Gump) has an amazing reputation in the media circle, the box office... is really mediocre. For a big production of 20 million U.S. dollars, Forrest Gump only made more than 11 million U.S. dollars in its first week in North America.

Just looking at the results, it's a complete mess. Of course, with more than 11 million dollars in the first week, amazing word-of-mouth and constant praise, it's impossible for this movie to lose money. It took in more than 50 million dollars at the box office in two months after its release. Still confident.

It can only be said that if a Chinese is replaced to star in Forrest Gump, his original trajectory of global box office figures of nearly 680 million U.S. dollars, it is difficult to say whether it can break 100 million U.S. dollars now.

But Zhao Donghuai never expected how much money this movie would make. It’s his business to win awards. With this reputation, if Zhao Donghuai gets stuck with the principal profits of the North American Academy Chairman Jury Jack, Sam and other big guys, it will be stuck in 1988 Oscar year.

Zunlong relied on Forrest Gump to win an Oscar.

Do you want to be stuck for a year and a half? When the other party paid the money, he was begging to get on the bus. The profit so far is really gratifying, but the money is in the account of Zhao Donghuai's company. When to pay back the money is not his decision.

After the Lantern Festival, it was already February 13, 1987.

The North American Golden Globe Awards have also ended long ago. There is no doubt that Zhao Donghuai won the Golden Globe Best Director trophy with (Never Compromise).

Adjani won the Golden Globe Best Actress trophy, (Juno) the Best Picture trophy, and (Good Will Hunting) gave Al Pacino the Golden Globe Best Actor and Tsui Jin-jiang the Best Supporting Actor.

After the Golden Globes, Hong Kong Pictures went crazy.

These blockbusters were also nominated for the 59th Oscars in 1987. As long as they wait until the end of March, all the trophies they deserve will be picked up one after another.

Around the same time, the Hong Kong Island Film Awards also started to operate. A group of award committee members were invited from Cannes, Berlin and Hollywood in North America to form a committee to select some films from the films released in Europe and the United States last year to accompany the competition.

This year's Hong Kong Film Awards, Shao Yifu is the first to serve as the chairman of the jury.

At noon on the 13th, Zhao Donghuai was still eating on the 32nd floor of the Financial Building when he received a report that Isabel Adjani was visiting.

When he saw Adjani, the new Golden Globe Award-winning actress gave Director Zhao a deep hug again, and then smiled and said, "Zhao, Sidney and Charles wanted to ask me, if they Is it okay to withdraw investment now?”

Zhao Donghuai laughed dumbly, "Of course. Up to now, this wave of financial war to speculate on Japanese currency foreign exchange is almost coming to an end. Not to mention their funds, even the funds entrusted to me by the citizens of Haowan, Hong Kong, should also be held on behalf of me." The sales have been settled one after another.”

"Even if there is still profit in the coming years, compared with the profit for the whole year of 1986, it will not be much."

This was February 13, 1987.

It’s really not that far away from when the Japanese yen appreciated to 120 yen, which is equal to one U.S. dollar. The specific time... well, the specific time was the global stock market crash in 1987, the world-famous Black Monday, when the yen appreciated to 120 yen and became equal to one U.S. dollar. Beautiful knife.

That was after October 19, 1987.

From now on, the settlement will be completed one after another, and the withdrawal will definitely be stable and safe. The operation of withdrawing all the money can be carried out step by step within a period of up to eight months.

Sidney was the president of the Cannes jury last year, and Charles was the judge. Without them, how could (Juno) be nominated for Best Actress at Cannes? How could Zhang Yimou win the Cannes Best Director trophy? ?

Now the two tactfully invited Adjani to inquire and test their tone. He must have been frightened after hearing the news that Jack Lao, the chairman of the North American Jury Committee, wanted to withdraw his capital last time on the phone, but was rejected by Zhao Donghuai.

If Zhao Donghuai hadn't been carrying a simulator, even if he was a time traveler, he would have been hammered to death if he dared to go against American, British, German, etc. capital in the foreign exchange market.

Then it would be impossible to develop to what it is today. Without such a big thing as the simulator, if he dared to play like that, it would be a Ponzi scheme.

"You can tell them that the settlement will be made within a week, and the principal profit, after deducting the due handling fees, will go into their designated bank account."

Adjani laughed, "I just said that Mr. Charles is too timid. Now he wants to withdraw his capital. If the funds really arrive, he will probably regret it soon and want to cry."

Charles is a French director born and raised in France and one of the veteran judges on the Cannes jury. He entered the film with US$2 million in early April last year, which was not as much as the profits of people who got on board on January 1st.

However, until mid-February 1987, his $2 million was still equal to more than 30% of the appreciation of the Japanese yen. Under 20 times leverage operation, the gross profit was more than $13 million.

In less than a year, 600% gross profit!

Three days later, on February 16, at the Regent Hotel in Wan Chai, Charles confirmed that more than 14 million U.S. dollars in principal plus profit had been received in his account. At first, he breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

He also ran to the hotel next door to find other Cannes judges to confirm with each other and certified the news that all principal and profits had been returned.

Including North American director Sidney, who also made huge profits and pocketed safely.

A group of Cannes judges had been having a wild day, but when they were done, when they woke up on the 17th the next day, Charles suddenly sat on the bed and fell into a daze.

After being in a daze for more than ten minutes, he picked up the phone and called Isabel Adjani, "Adjani, you are also 32 years old. When you get the Oscar for Best Actress at the end of March, you will also be a senior figure in the film and television industry. I I would like to recommend you to enter the jury sequence of this year's 1987 Cannes International Film Festival, what do you think?"

Adjani smiled coquettishly, "Okay, thank you Mr. Charles."

After smiling and being polite on the phone for a while, Charles asked curiously, "Adjani, your money? It was invested in the Japanese battlefield? Did you get it?"

Adjani was full of enthusiasm, "It's still early, why am I in a hurry? I invested 1 million US dollars on January 1 last year, but when you entered the market in April, I increased my bets, including in August, the Hollywood Film Group gave me 500 I’ll pay you $10,000 for filming, and I’ll also bet on the $5 million.”

"So far, the total profit is more than 30 million U.S. dollars. It's still a bit early to settle the settlement now. Let's wait. By the summer of June or July, we can make several million more U.S. dollars."

Charles took a long breath and felt that his heart hurt! !

Yes, he withdrew his capital in February and made 600% of the small money, which is all US dollars. But if he withdraws his capital later, wouldn't the small profit be even greater?

Yesterday, Charles and the other Cannes judges were so happy, joyful, and stable. But now they feel so heartbroken when they hear Adjani's words. Those are all money, beautiful swords!

He was still heartbroken, and Adjani smiled and said, "Char, don't tell me that you regret it and want to continue investing... Come and leave when you want. You don't believe in Zhao Sheng's strength?" .”

"It's not that easy to get back into the car now."

Sherben wanted to retort. They suddenly got out of the car, not because they did not believe in Zhao Donghuai's financial ability to make money, but because they were afraid that like old Jack and Sam in North America, if they wanted to withdraw but were rejected, their principal might be in danger...

But now, he was a little speechless.

Come when you want, leave when you want, turn around and still want to come back? How can it be that easy?

After the phone call ended, although Charles had made a lot of money and should have exploded with joy, when he walked to the second floor of the Regent Hotel, his expression was as ugly as if a close relative had died.

This emotion soon began to spread throughout the entire jury circle, including Sidney, who was ranked first last year!

………………

Zhao's Financial Center.

After Adjani put down the phone, she smiled with joy and joy. Then, while only Zhao Donghuai was in the office and Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen were not there, she walked over quickly and said, "Zhao, I'm 32 years old. You don't have to use it anymore." He’s getting old.”

"You really don't want to help me? Repair the water pipe..."

Director Zhao, "..."

Sister-in-law, please respect yourself? ?

………………

Kwun Tong.

Zhang Weifan, a senior regular worker at Wanjia Supermarket, returned home happily and said to his parents with a face of surprise, "Dad, Mom, we got rich, we really got rich, we settled."

"We invested 600,000 in the foreign exchange market on January 1 last year. I went to settle the account before and got a full 6 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"I can buy a house, a big house... I no longer have to let my little brother sleep in the living room. This is enough to buy several thousand-square-foot mansions."

He got on the bus on January 1st, and as of February 17th, the Japanese yen has appreciated by more than 40% to close to 50% proportionally.

After deducting various handling fees and other expenses from the gross profit of 600,000, it is really not difficult to buy a big house.

Father Zhang immediately put down what he was doing and ran over, "Really 6 million? Hiss... this is too..."

too exaggerated.

Who would have thought that at the end of 1984, the money they had saved for half their lives would total 600,000 yuan, which would become 6 million yuan in just over a year?

During this time, Father Zhang quit his job as a bus driver after the Spring Festival. He just wanted to wait for the day when the foreign exchange settlement would be settled. He helped buy a house and build a new home. Then when he felt stable, he was talking about applying to New World Passenger Transport. Be a taxi driver.

Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min launched the New World Passenger Transport in October last year. In the past four months, the ferry has caught up with or even surpassed the Star Ferry and Yau Ma Tei Ferry. As long as you have money and enough money, you can spend money to surpass those two. Isn't that what the established ferry companies should be doing?

The taxi fleet connecting Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories has grown to more than 3,000 vehicles and is already one of the leaders in the taxi industry in Hong Kong.

After all, there are only 16,000 taxi licenses in Hong Kong.

Everyone knows that entering New World Passenger Transport and driving a taxi is tantamount to becoming an employee of Zhao Donghuai in disguise.

With such an advantage, why would Father Zhang drive a bus?

Wouldn't it be nice to drive a taxi and live with Zhao Sheng?

Zhang Weifan directly handed the bank card to his father and said with a smile, "Ami is about to give birth. Our family really can't live in it unless we buy a house. So when the company said that the financial group has started to start the settlement project, I settled the bill directly." ”

"If this money is still in the financial group, it will be settled in the summer, and it will make hundreds of thousands more profits, but our family's situation is special..."

The whole family lived in low-rent public housing. They used to be mixed-race, but they lived like this temporarily. When they first raised money to invest in foreign exchange, they were still a family of six, and Ami had only been married for two months.

His second brother is also still in middle school.

Now? ? Not only is Ami about to give birth in her seventh month of pregnancy, but her younger brother is also about to graduate. This summer he will graduate from high school and enter the society, turning 18 years old.

What to do then? Still living in such crowded conditions? What should I do if my second brother has a girlfriend in the future?

But with these 6 million it is different.

It’s 1987, and housing prices on Hong Kong Island have begun to skyrocket. In 1983 and 1984, the average residential price in Kowloon was more than 500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which is equivalent to more than 5,000 square meters. Now it has risen to more than 800 per square foot, which is more than 8,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter.

This is the average price!

In most residential communities in Yau Tsim Mong and Kowloon Tong, housing prices have already been more than HK$1,000 per square foot. In other words, the new towns in Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, Sau Mau Ping, Tsz Wan Shan and other districts are priced at HK$5,000 per square foot. price.

The more prosperous places are, the more expensive they are, and the more remote and backward areas are, the cheaper.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother both laughed excitedly. After laughing for a while, Zhang's mother rubbed her hands and said, "Afan, where do you plan to buy a house?"

"Since last year, hasn't Hua Zhi acquired a lot of buildings in old communities and rebuilt them? Thanks to Zhao Sheng's support, we can make a fortune. To buy a house, we still have to buy from Hua Zhi."

Zhang Weifan nodded, "With this money, even if I spend more than one million to buy a thousand-square-foot mansion in Yau Tsim Mong, I can buy three or four units. I plan to buy a large one in Tsim Sha Tsui, preferably a double-storey duplex, 2000 It's about a foot and can accommodate our whole family."

"Then I also want to buy one in Tung Chung."

Father Zhang was confused, "Tung Chung? Lantau Island?? You..."

Zhang Weifan said excitedly, "It's like this. I am currently a small supervisor in the daily necessities department department in Kwun Tong Wanjia, but I have to wait a long time for promotion and salary increase."

"If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by Ami's pregnancy last year, I would have thought about going to the mainland to get gold plating. Even if I go to the mainland to get a low salary for one or two years, which is 89% less than the salary in Hong Kong, but after working in the mainland for two years, I can be promoted quickly. too much."

"If you miss the fast track for career advancement in the Mainland, Tung Chung is a good place. It is currently remote and backward, but I believe Mr. Zhao. Since Huazhi has made so many development plans and invested so much there, Tung Chung will develop in the future. The prospects must be good.”

"In addition to building vacation villas and resort hotels there, Huazhi has also developed small communities similar to Taikoo Shing, including Wanjia Supermarket. If I go there now, it won't take long to upgrade it to another level."

The development model of Wanjia Supermarket, from just joining the company to being promoted to the general manager of the first district, and then to the entire Wanjia CEO level, employees at level 9 in between have poor remuneration.

The salary and benefits standards are similar to the gap between workers in grades one to eight in the Mainland.

Zhang Weifan has been in the industry for a few years, and through his honesty and hard work, he has gradually become a level 2 employee, a small manager of a Japanese hypermarket similar to the "former PARKnSHOP Supermarket under Watsons". He doesn't even know he wants to be a level 3 employee. How long to stay up.

Therefore, where the group initially develops and seizes opportunities to open up new markets, it will be easier to upgrade and get promoted. The wages and benefits of each employee at different levels are in line with the benchmark and better standards!

There is basically only one CEO among level nine workers.

"More importantly, Tung Chung is in the early stages of development. The housing prices of the first batch of residential areas built are only NT$400 per square foot. HK$1 million can only buy a house of 700 to 800 square feet in Mong Kok and other places. But in Tung Chung, currently HK$1 million You can buy a mansion with more than 2,000 square feet."

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and happiness when they saw their eldest son in high spirits and talking freely.

The bottom class of diaosi has become the middle class!

They really wanted to shout "Long live Zhao Sheng" several times.

………………

February 18, Zhao's Financial Building.

When Zhao Donghuai saw Hong Yinbao, Yuan Biao, Qin Xianglin and others coming hand in hand, he just signaled for Qiu Shuzhen to make tea.

Hong Qianbao waved his hand hurriedly and smiled brightly, "Don't bother Sister Zhen, we will do it ourselves. Little sister, hurry up and get some tea."

The little girl he called was Zhong Yanhong. These guys discovered the novel (New Mr. Zombie) on July 31 last year and planned to remake it (Five Lucky Stars). It has been five or six months now. .

There is no need to find anyone to adapt the novel. The original screenwriters are Hong Pingbao and Huang Bingyao. They come together to rewrite the story and everything comes out.

Just add a time traveler!

The most difficult thing here is how to make the story after time travel more exciting, like the version of Gu Tianle (New Mr. Zombie), where he learns Taoism, marries a beautiful woman, and becomes an upright commander who protects the country and the people. The main theme is so comfortable. , also very strong.

The movie adaptation of Qimou... A group of people discussed it until the end, and added a sixth lucky star, Chen Baixiang. The opening scene has an extra scene of a green man played by Chen Baixiang, who was beaten to death while giving someone a cuckold, and then Axiang traveled through time.

Then Chen Baixiang's green hair continued to cause trouble after traveling through time, and went to jail, only to find that he had entered the story of the Five Lucky Stars movie?

After being released from prison as the Sixth Lucky Star, Chen Baixiang did not work with the Five Lucky Stars. Instead, he took the initiative to hook up with Xia Wenxi, the daughter of Chen Chao, the king of counterfeit money, and stole the girl who played the role of the original Taibao.

The follow-up was to cooperate with the Five Lucky Stars and send Chen Chao to prison and eat royal food for the rest of his life. However, Chen Baixiang harvested all Chen Chao's inheritance and wealth and became a rich man.

In fact, the key male actors in the Five Lucky Stars series of movies do not need to be handsome, but they need to be funny.

Chen Baixiang was cast to play a green guy who specializes in molesting others. There is really no need to doubt the funny power of this A Le!

After watching the movie with a group of people from the Five Lucky Stars crew, Zhao Donghuai laughed a lot. However, after watching it, he still said bluntly, "The filming was good, but compared to (New Mr. Zombie), it still feels a bit different." .”

This version of the story of the Five Lucky Stars, brought together by Chen Baixiang and others, is very funny. It is much more exciting than the original version of the story of the Five Lucky Stars, which included Mai Jia, and the Lucky Stars Entering the World.

But how can I put it, the movie-watching experience is still not as refreshing as (New Mr. Zombie), it just lacks the taste.

Hong Yinbao also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, we spent a lot of time during the filming, and we spent a lot of time preparing new jokes. In the end, we discovered that the logic of the main plot was actually poor, and the quality was not enough!"

"When Mr. Zombie is adapted, the main plot is very stable and the logic is strong. He is the protagonist of the new time travel. The development trajectory is clear at a glance. Compared with the main plot of catching thieves in the Five Lucky Stars series, learning Taoism, marrying a beautiful woman, and then becoming a warlord... it is much weaker. , a similar pattern is not enough.”

"I feel like this movie can be a hit and make a lot of money, but its influence is definitely not as good as New Mr. Zombie. Not every movie can take advantage of Time Traveler."

"So I've saved up some films about the Republic of China. Can you help me check them out, Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Donghuai was speechless. When he watched Sanmao's new script in the big office, he was surprised by the title of the opening chapter, (Ip Man)! !

This is really amazing. You must know that the original Ip Man was only filmed in 2008. The screenwriter of the original Ip Man is only 9 years old this year, right? He is still in elementary school? ?

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter. First of all, Ip Man really exists. Although the real Ip Man experience is very different from that presented in the 2008 version of Ip Man movie.

But in his life, Ip Man taught an apprentice, Bruce Lee. Countless people know that adapting Ip Man's biopic movie is to stand on Bruce Lee's shoulders.

From the perspective of publicity and distribution, the film company transformed the life story of Bruce Lee, the master of the global legendary superstar, into a script and made a movie, which naturally has a huge movie viewing base.

With the current creative power of Hong Yanbao and one of his right-hand men, Huang Bingyao, they have been aroused by a bunch of hit biopics and want to start their own biopic series?

Hong Yanbao, Cheng Long, Lin Zhengying, including Yuan Biao, all started to rise in the Bruce Lee era.

With a lot of thoughts running through his mind, Zhao Donghuai flipped through the Ip Man script and roughly read it. He found that this version of Ip Man was 60-70% similar to the 2008 version of Ip Man.

After he read it, Hong Pinbao sneered, "We can get the adaptation rights, but Master Ye has some issues and it's not convenient to put it on the big screen, so it's been beautified a lot."

The real Ip Man was short, rich and handsome, smoked big cigarettes, visited brothels, etc... too many are not suitable for being put on the big screen today.

But the most important development of the story is that Ye Wen founded a sect in Foshan and became the number one in the martial arts world. He defeated boxers from other places who came to challenge the martial arts world in Foshan. Then Foshan fell and the Ye family was robbed of all their wealth and lived a humble and miserable life.

Later, he fought in the ring, defeated the martial arts masters of the island nation and ran away.

The story line of fighting in the ring can be said to be copied from Huo Yuanjia's deeds, which can easily arouse emotional resonance among Chinese audiences. Brother Xiao Long's Fist of Fury is the best example.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "The book is good, who are you going to cast?"

Hong Qinbao was excited, "Master Ye, I plan to let Ah Biao play the role. Ah Biao is 30 this year and can fight well. He can also do Wing Chun. As for the boxer who comes from other provinces to challenge the Foshan martial arts world, I plan to play it myself."

"For the masters from the island nation, I plan to choose Billy Zhou and Yasuaki Kurata."

"But if we really want to shoot it, we will have to go to the Mainland to shoot a lot of scenes. We will also need to use the Mainland's shooting manpower and material resources. Not to mention making it as grand and grand as Wang Wenxia's Legend, at least it will have to be decent."

This Ip Man is said to be 60 to 70% similar to the original story, in which the foreign boxer played by Hong Yanbao, Master Hong Fist, was defeated by Ip Man and was moved by Master Ip's charm and became Ip Man's subordinate.

When the island country invades China, there are two big bosses at the end.

The last one was between Ip Man and Billy Chou. He won the Open in front of countless people, but was blackmailed and ran away to Hong Kong Island.

The other is inside the island base, where Master Hong, played by Hong Yibao, kills Kurata Yasuaki.

Wing Chun? In 1981, Yuen Piao starred in (The Prodigal Son), which is the story of Ah Piao studying Wing Chun to avenge his master and kill the villain.

Thinking of this, Hong Qianbao said again, "The heroine invites Chen Hong? Anyway, in the whole script, Master Ye is a good man who is afraid of his wife and loves his wife... There is no hand-holding scene, and the character is also a lady, a good wife and a loving mother."
