Chapter 805 Cannes preheating

The statement of the Four Heavenly Kings began in 1992.

It was first measured by the performance of the music industry, excluding movies. Because in the early 1990s, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung faded out of the music industry and a vacuum appeared in the popular male singer.

Liming is very popular with two albums: "Is it love or fate" and "Will you come tonight", Liu Dehua has "Can you come" and "The next life", and Zhang Xueyou has "Love You More Every Day" and "Breakup Always Being in

Rainy Day, etc.

These three people were the best at that time.

Aaron Kwok's route is quite strange. He first became popular in Taiwan. "I Can't End of Love for You" sold more than 1 million copies, and then returned to Hong Kong to develop.

At that time, radio, television, newspapers, and record companies worked together to hype the concept of the "Four Heavenly Kings". Because they wanted to save the market, they would hype up the music scene after Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung, and a new generation of idol representatives must be launched.

So the four great kings were born naturally.

This is the most successful hype for Hong Kong Entertainment, with its influence covering all of Asia and continuing for decades. Later, they described someone as "the queen of the king" and "the queen of the little king of the king", including the "four little actresses" in the mainland.

But in terms of film achievements, Liu Dehua was the best at that time, including "Carmen, Mong Kok", "If Heaven Is Love", "God of Gambling", "Gambling Man", "Supreme", etc., which beat up the other few.

Now, Chen Qi has taken three.

He has no interest in Aaron Kwok. For some reason, he always feels that this person is very awesome.

Liming and Zhang Min signed a contract with the company and became a rookie. Chen Qi would indicate a general development direction, such as Liming is the music industry and the development of movies, and Zhang Min is just making movies... It is specifically operated by the company personnel.

Left-style movies have been in a row for more than HK$100 million for several consecutive years, and are operating well.

With Jiahe, it accounts for two-thirds of the market, and the remaining share is left to other companies. The Hong Kong market is actually so big, with super high box offices such as "Titanic" and "Avatar", which is the exception.

……………………

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

At the 39th Cannes Film Festival, in a cinema where the films were screened, the audience greeted "Black Man" with the simplest greeting, which was to applaud and applaud desperately.

When the main creators such as Tsui Hark and Li Lianjie came on stage, the applause immediately raised a decibel.

Many people have a misunderstanding of European audiences, and they like to watch art films.

Actually, there is no. The public never likes to watch art films, they all like to watch it! European films respect art, which is a stereotype brought by those directors and does not represent the audience's opinions.

They are separated from the principle of "serving the people".

“Jet Li!”

“Jet Li!”

Everyone shouted Li Lianjie's English name, and he bowed on the stage. With many overseas kung fu movies, he had accumulated a lot of fans. The hard thing is that only at this time did he feel like a superstar, not a certain one.

The guy's brother.

"Black Man" is an exhibition at his own expense, and a show will be sold and copyrights will be preheated for the release of North America.

Chen Qi and Columbia President Price sat down below. Price was very satisfied with the audience's reaction and smiled: "This has increased my confidence and I believe that "Black Man" can also achieve good results in North America."

"It's confirmed that August?"

"Confirm! There is no blockbuster competition in August. Americans love this kind of superhero movie. Unfortunately, there are no good examples except "Superman". I didn't expect it to be presented in your hands..."

Prestones, describing: "Silky like an ice cream."

"Haha! Then I hope I can make more and more ice cream to bring popular movies to the American people."

"Your description is always so interesting. By the way, we chose the male lead in "Air Prison".

"Who?"

"Bruce Willis!"

Chen Qi's expression was subtle. This guy hasn't played in "Die Hard" yet, and he is still a small role. He asked: "How did you choose him? He has no box office appeal."

"Hollywood tough guys have been occupied by Schwarzenegger and Stallone. We want to get something new. Bruce Willis has a tough appearance and good acting skills. We asked him to put on military uniform and try it. Wow, he is so suitable for playing in the United States.

The soldiers are here.”

"It seems that "Air Prison" will be launched before "Life and Death Hour". When will my action team pass by?"

"Contact then, you can do some training for Bruce first."

"Okay!"

According to the agreement, all the action scenes of the film, including the early stage of the actor training, are also contracted by Chen Qi's team.

He had already planned a team, led by Yuan Heping and Yuan Kui, plus Yuan Hua, Dong Wei, Mars, Zou Zhaolong, Qian Jiale, Ji Chunhua, Xiong Xinxin and others, with extremely strong strength.

The reward is US$400,000, about HK$3 million, he doesn't want a penny.

"Wow!"

There was another round of applause, but the Q&A session ended. Chen Qi and Price came on stage and took a photo with everyone.

...

There are no Chinese-language films participating in this Cannes.

All of them are art directors from all over the world, and Chen Qi doesn't recognize any of them except Martin Scorsese.

"Black Man" is an exhibition film, and the attention is not as high as that of the competition film, but it still attracted a lot of media comments. Everyone doesn't like to always swim in the ocean of art, so they have to allow a common man to exist.

“A wonderful modern action movie!”

"It applies the concept of American comic superhero, but it presents so wonderful!"

"Hollywood's industrial films are the first to none, but they lost to Hong Kong in action movies! Including last year's "The Deadly Express" and this year's "The Black Man", those refreshing action designs make Hollywood machoes look like gorillas!



Such praise has caused overseas film merchants to come.

The North American market was handed over to Colombia agents, and the others snatched Europe, Australia, South America, Southeast Asia, and even Africa.

A few years ago, Chen Qi was a small party guy, and took "Tai Chi" to Berlin with bitterness, and did everything himself. Now there is no need to do it, and his own company staff will handle it. Sometimes, he doesn't have to do it himself, he just

I want to take the opportunity to go abroad for a private tour.

"The Black Man" was well warmed up in Cannes, which made everyone feel confident and they are looking forward to being released in the United States.

…………

Chen Qi stayed for a few days and left before the closing ceremony. He returned to Hong Kong without stopping and went to Guangzhou immediately.

Ling Mei sent a car to pick him up and deliberately circled around the doors of several cinemas. Outside were the posters of "The Rich Train" and "The Story of the Rose". Sammo Hung and Maggie Cheung were particularly conspicuous.

After the White Swan settled down, he bought another ticket and went to the cinema to take a look.

The one that plays "The Rich Train", which has been released for more than a week, and I still have 70% to 80%. Chen Qi and Xiao Mo sat quietly in a corner and listened to everyone's talk:

"Who is better than Cheng Long? I heard that he is Cheng Long's senior brother."

"What's wrong with Senior Brother? Cheng Long's number one in the world!"

"Not necessarily! I've seen Sammo Hung's videotape, I'm good at it. I've never seen such a flexible fat man!"

When Chen Qi heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Hey, handsome guy! Has Hong Jinbao come to Guangzhou to promote it?"

"Of course, the scene is so big. Unfortunately, I didn't get the ticket. I heard that there is a beautiful woman named Guan Zhilin, who is so beautiful..."

As the man said, he also looked at Chen Qi and said, "Looking at your handsome talent, you are also a rare handsome guy. Could it be an actor?"

"I dare not do some small business!"

He bowed his hand, stopped talking, waited for two more minutes, and said, "Why is Xiao Yang so slow to buy a drink?"

"Here's here!"

Xiao Yang hurried back with a few bottles of drinks and snacks, handed him a bottle, and said, "Many people are queuing up to drink this very famous one."

"Jianlibao?"

When Chen Qi saw that it was the famous Oriental Magic Water, or it was in bottle.

He has seen Jianlibao in cans for many times. The first time he saw it in bottles, it was orange and yellow, like orange soda, which may only be available locally. He opened it and took a sip and tasted it. It seemed to be the same taste, but it was a little unfamiliar.

.

At this time, the lights dim and the screen lights up.

"The Rich Train" has begun.

The audience cheered and cheered from time to time to time with the rhythm of the film, laughed and immersed in it, and obviously liked this film very much.

Just like it.

There are more than a dozen movies that have not been selected.

Chen Qi was drinking Jianlibao and watching Hong Jinbao in the Guangzhou Cinema. Suddenly, he felt a wonderful feeling of chaos in time and space, and a sense of accomplishment. These were all careers he had created.
