Chapter 43 Box Office Prediction

Yuan Hua is an old Hong Kong star, one of the members of the Seven Xiaofu, and is taught by the Peking Opera performing artist Yu Zhanyuan.

He participated in the movie in the 1970s, and belonged to the era of Bruce Lee. "The Jingwumen" was his first work!

He served as Bruce Lee's stand-in and played some supporting roles.

It is said that Bruce Lee attaches great importance to him and says he wants to take him to the United States to develop. Unfortunately, he died before he can fulfill his promise...

After Bruce Lee's death, Han Yingjie did not want to make a name for himself, so Hong Jinbao took the lead in establishing the Hong family class and recruited a group of dragon and tiger martial artists who had followed Bruce Lee in the past.

Yuan Hua has never been able to make a fortune - compared to the group of dragon and tiger martial artists that were the first.

He looks very fierce and mostly acts as a villain!

The most famous one is of course Feng San, the villain in "The Frozen God".

After the new century, Yuan Hua gradually went from a villain to a funny man in the movie. The more famous ones were the landlord in "Kung Fu" and Mo Yougan in "Detective Chinatown 2" - "What a pretty girl"...

Of course, there is no "Kung Fu" in this time and space, so Yuan Hua is really cheap now!

Giving him 600,000 is considered a price increase!

Generally speaking, it is about 200,000!

In fact, the prices of celebrities in Hong Kong have been very low in those years. Generally, bars can be contacted. If Ye Shirong can be contacted, it will only be about 80,000 yuan, sing five songs, sing Beyond's classic songs, and leave the venue, and even the cost of staying in a hotel!

The reason why Zhang Junsheng looked for Yuan Hua was mainly to make a co-production film, which was best for the co-production film to be screened in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, his Yuanzong in "The Legend of Qin" was actually quite suitable for Yan Chixia in both personality and style!

At the front entrance of the hotel, Yuan Hua noticed a large group of people blocking the door and shouted, "Zhang Junsheng, we will always support you!"

There are also a few people holding light cards. Zhang Junsheng and Yuan Hua were certainly aware that they were the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

He was quite curious. A director is so popular?

Didn’t I just write a few books? In the past, Jin Yong had no time for so many people to block the door except for writing about Xiaolongnu being defiled...

Uh, Zhang Junsheng is a god in the minds of middle school students!

Especially after "The Legend of Wukong", the QQ signatures of a group of people were changed to "What's the use of giving birth to me? You can't laugh. What's the use of destroying me? Don't reduce your arrogance!"

Or, "Why can't God not be greedy, so why can't he tolerate disrespect for him? Why should God not be evil, so why should he hold the fate of millions of creatures on the earth in his hands?'

This kind of words has the greatest impact on teenagers under the age of 20!

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is Zhang Junsheng's first theater movie. Fans have long found out about the venue for the opening press conference and of course they will come to support it.

Unfortunately, the press conference was held in the lobby on the third floor and was only open to the media. These people could not enter the hotel at all...

The door of the hall was open, and Yuan Hua could see that there were many reporters sitting inside and communicating with each other.

The assistant took out the entrance certificate from his bag and handed it to the staff. The staff took the two of them to another small hall to rest.

Just in time, Zhang Junsheng, who was about to appear, walked over with enthusiasm: "Brother Hua, you have to rely on you to support the game then!"

"...I can't hold on, I'm dependent on you!"

Yuan chuckled. He only now knew where Zhang Junsheng's confidence came from. He had a group of such a loyal fan. As long as he did not rebel, he could succeed in anything he did!

...

April 2, World Autism Day…

Of course, this thing has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. Yuehua Charity Foundation has not been established yet, so naturally there is no point in paying attention to children with autism...

Since the announcement of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in November last year, Zhang Junsheng has not made this matter public. Since last week, he has spread martial arts posts and invited major media to attend the press conference.

The reporters can guess that it is nothing more than confirming the main creator, starting time, and introducing the background and investment overview.

Senior entertainment journalists are actually quite annoyed by this kind of thing.

It was a bit too much information, but I had to report...

It's useless!

Therefore, many entertainment journalists have the mentality of making some money, or simply let newcomers in the company do it for them.

Of course, this is not the case with "Three Lians"; they have insider information and know that Zhang Junsheng played a lot this time.

At the press conference, Zhang Junsheng stood in the middle, Zhou Xing and Xu Yan stood on both sides of him, and then Yuan Hua and Teacher Lu Zhong.

How to say this lineup, it’s a bit low-key, and there is no familiar star!

Although Zhou Xing has been popular online for a while through "I Never Expected", the Internet has not yet penetrated into the pace of life of ordinary people. Let's put it this way, the click rate of "Wan Wan" exceeded 90 million in September last year, and it has not yet exceeded 100 million!

It can be seen that the number of netizens is really not as many as everyone imagined!

Xu Yan, not to mention, a pure newcomer, although she has the title of "the most beautiful school beauty", she has not made her debut after all.

As for Yuan Hua and Teacher Lu Zhong, although he has a status in the world, he is not popular...

The only traffic school present was actually director Zhang Junsheng!

"Okay, we have to ask Director Zhang Junsheng to say hello to everyone first!"

The host is Liu Zimo, the host signed by Yuehua, and she is responsible for controlling the rhythm of the press conference.

Zhang Junsheng smiled and waved his hand: "Hello everyone, I am Zhang Junsheng, the director of our "A Chinese Ghost Story". Thank you very much for attending this press conference. This drama is my first film work, a new director, so I hope everyone can support it."

After he finished speaking, several other actors also introduced themselves according to his template...

It's time for the reporter to ask questions.

Liu Zimo called out the first reporter, and he came up and asked, "Is "A Chinese Ghost Story" filmed completely according to the original work?"

Zhang Junsheng answered calmly: "The plot remains unchanged, but the original work is very short, with only more than a thousand words, so it is necessary to do some modern and commercial processing. This time I put the theme on the relationship between humans and ghosts. I will show a lot of the origin of the relationship between Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian. In fact, when Pu Songling wrote "Nie Xiaoqian", he did not explain why they were able to fall in love. I think this is worth discussing!"

This is also the core reason why Class 87 "A Chinese Ghost Story" is called a classic:

Only this version explains why a beautiful and capable woman like a beautiful ghost will look at a useless cowardly scholar who is still wholeheartedly.

The later version of Lao Liu did not mention this at all!

The audience won't even think about this issue.

It gives people the feeling that because Pu Songling wrote this, the two of them have to fall in love...

One thing that is very important when adapting classic masterpieces is that the core content cannot be changed!

Unless you want to make up a fan story based on the name of a classic, such as "A Chinese Odyssey"...

"I heard that the investment in this drama is $15 million, right?"

"…It's almost the same. The main investor of this drama is Universal Film Company in the United States. They are very optimistic about our monster stories."

Although this sentence is suspected of bragging, it is also a fact. The main investor is indeed Universal Film Company, a subsidiary of Comcast.

The reporters in the audience were surprised, $15 million!

Ma Xiaokang's "Feast" is said to have invested only US$13 million. How dare you?

Someone immediately asked excitedly: "Director Zhang, you have been making big productions for the first time you directed a movie. Are you worried that you will not be able to recover the cost?"

"Probably not. I will create this movie according to the traditional Hollywood narrative technique. Moreover, our investment in special effects is as high as 100 million, accounting for most of the cost. The main creative team once made "Lord of the Rings" and "King Kong". I believe their level!"

It’s time to start the press conference, of course I have to let go!

Only when the blow is let go can the media report and the audience be curious!

“Then what would you predict the total box office?”
