Erotic films and horror films have always been the most profitable movie genre.

And it is a low investment and high return type.

In 1972, "Deep Throat" premiered on Times Square in New York. Hong Kong, far away from the earth, also released a strange martial arts called "Ai Nu".

"Ai Nu" tells the story of the heroine Ai Nu being forced into a brothel, and the brothel madam, Aunt Chun, falls in love with this girl.

This kind of story, if you talk about it now, is not avant-garde, and the nude shots of the movie are limited to a few shots.

But the sexual suggestion of "still holding a pipa and half-covering the face" is even more fascinating.

Especially in the same year, the "Warlord" directed by Li Hanxiang was sold well, which completely ignited the prairie fire of Shaw Brothers' romantic films.

Run Run Shaw, who followed the trend, worked hard to establish good relations with the government and obtained a pass for "non-ferrous films".

During its heyday, the romantic films accounted for almost half of the Shaw Family!

Afterwards, the hierarchy system was issued, and then the Hong Kong third-level movies ushered in their peak moments!

Then, in 1991 alone, 1,337 films were sent for inspection, with a maximum of 42% of the third-level films...

More than half of them were made by young and dandy guys from various small clubs. They really started filming today, editing tomorrow, and will be released the day after tomorrow...

More than 40 third-level films can be released in more than ten days...

Even Japanese love guards are not so fast!

This is also the reason why the country has never dared to relax the hierarchy system. Do you believe it or not? Once the country is opened, Zhang Junsheng will dare to be the number one person in the third-level film!

...

Wen Ziren frowned slightly: ""Fifty Shades of Gray"... This name is so strange..."

"…In fact, it should be translated into "The Fifty Dark Sides of Gray", anyway, just remember to get the right to adapt the film and television!"

“…OK!”

Wen Ziren nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He probably knew the type of this story and changed the topic: "What do you think of "Red Flame Battlefield"?"

"… DC's comics, apart from Superman and Batman, have few well-known characters around the world. I'm not very optimistic about them. Let's release them first!"

Zhang Junsheng sighed: "It's a pity that most of DC's copyrights are in the hands of Warner Bros. I really want to buy it!"

"Red Flame Battlefield" also comes from the DC series. In fact, the entire DC was acquired by Warner Bros. Why don't they shoot it themselves?

Isn’t it because I’m not optimistic?

Wen Ziren smiled and suggested: "Actually, Image Comics is not bad, should I acquire it?"

"I have already settled the copyright of "The Walking Dead". That day I asked about the copyright of "The Rebirth" and they said it was in the hands of Warner Bros...."

One of the first works of "Rebirth" Image was released in May 1992, with 17 million copies sold, setting a record high of that year!

As the champion of independent comics and also the holder of the highest record of comic sales in North America so far, it should have development value, but... this story is particularly dark, bizarre and bloody: the protagonist of the comic is a group of "people who cannot die well", who are resurrected by the devil with resentment and return to the world to take revenge...

It is difficult to change the global simultaneous release, and it is estimated that this is the main reason for the box office failure of the movie of the same name in 1997.

"That dark horse comic?"

“…He offered $3.7 billion, which is too expensive!”

Dark Horse Comics is the third largest comic company in North America after Marvel and DC. It has IPs such as "Hellboy", "City of Sin", "Iron-Blood Warrior", and "Samurai"...

Although Disney has benefited a lot from acquiring Marvel in recent years, it does not mean that Dark Horse Anime can take the opportunity to rob!

Marvel can sell for $4.24 billion because Marvel's superheroes have become popular all over the world.

Why are you a dark horse?

"No matter how rich I am, I will not be so spendthy!"

Wan Ziren suddenly changed the topic: "Actually, I really want to shoot a big production..."

“…Big production?”

"I want to shoot "The Hunger Games" myself!"

"…Of course, but the horror universe in "The Conjuring" is not in mind?"

Wen Ziren shut up...

"Let's do this. In the past few years, you have also seen if there are any suitable projects in addition to the "Soul Conjuring" universe... After "Soul Conjuring" is released, you can transform again!"

Another sentence was added: "The investment limit is US$200 million!"

...

Of course, Wan Ziren plays big productions, "Fast and Furious 7" and "Aquaman" are all very good big production commercial films.

However, he is still busy with his beloved horror movies and probably has no time to tinker with the big production.

The People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival was released, and "Unreachable" won the second place, and the first place was "The King's Speech"...

It must be explained that there are three places in the People's Choice Award, and the third place is "Pretty Boy".

After all, Harvey Weinstein has been in the North American film industry for more than 20 years, and his connections are not comparable to those of Catherine, a "newcomer" who has only been in the industry for three years.

Speaking of which, after "Unreachable", after "Little Little Love" was released, relying on Little Little Little Little Lion's strong appeal and uninterrupted publicity since the beginning of filming, it achieved a box office record of US$44 million in the first weekend, and dominated the North American box office rankings.

October has always been the off-season, and 40 million is already a very good result...

Moreover, "Unreachable" adopts a long-term screening strategy and will stay in theaters for at least four months.

Very good reputation.

"The greatest respect for people with disabilities is not to treat them as people with disabilities. Respect is higher than love and compassion!"

"This is the light bursting out from two completely opposite lives and personalities. Because of the stripping of pity, it seems even more humble or arrogant. There is undoubtedly a bonus for real people and real things."

"Leonardo finally got rid of the tension that I wanted to act in a good show. His performance throughout the movie is like flowing..."

In the awards season, movies with good reputation are easier to gain everyone's favor. In the second week of release, the number of "Unreachable" theaters increased to 3,500, and won 1,400 box office results on Monday, and the workday actually increased...

"Unreachable" is postponed to the opening of paintings in China for one week - a reservation period for "Tongtian Empire"...

On the eve of the release, bad voices came, and a group of voices on the Internet believed that Zhang Junsheng was a dog licking...

Muyang Dog…

...

"It was the Chinese group in Los Angeles who protested. They felt that "out of reach" damages the image of Chinese..."

Zhang Junsheng, who had returned to China, received a call from Catherine.

“…is it spontaneous or organized?”

"It should be spontaneous!"

OK, again, this group of people is really idle!

Think about it, "The Deadly Weapon 4" can be protested, but this time "Unreachable" is even more excessive, and the character played by Wang Bo actually becomes a servant!

This undoubtedly challenged the fragile nerves of those people, so they rose up and attacked them.

Their methods are nothing more than clamoring on the Internet and tabloids, asking Wang Bo and Zhang Junsheng to apologize...

Fortunately, I'm not a Japanese, otherwise I'd probably apologize...

They would not consider that Wang Bo's role is not a servant but a guardian...

After staying in the United States for a long time, you will know that these Chinese people have a very rational concept: white people dare not fight, black people cannot fight, so they can only make do with it and beat their own people.

This kind of thing has little impact in the United States, after all, it is not yet the most intense time of awards season...

However, in the era of the Internet, a group of international students have pushed this remark back to the country...
