Golden Age 1990

Chapter 215 I changed Chinese movies! (5000 words)
"A hit across the board! "Westward Journey" finally has a box office explosion!"

"February has not yet passed, and "Westward Journey" has already exceeded the 2000 million box office!"

"The mainland box office is 2000 million, and the Hong Kong box office is 2000 million! Did "Westward Journey" make a profit or a loss?"

"What kind of attitude should we have towards subversive movies that adapt famous works?"

"Adaptation is not random editing! I can't accept this "Westward Journey"!"

In fact, February is almost over.

In the north, winter is obviously not over yet, although the weather has become warmer visible to the naked eye.

If you take a stroll outside, you can see the melting ice and snow.

The water left some traces on the streets, but under the influence of the sun, they slowly disappeared, and those traces continued to shrink.

If you ignore it completely, you will see a circle within a circle.

A writer with a big head and thick neck, when he saw this, he seemed to have some ideas for writing a book in his mind.

However, the newspaper in hand told him that the movie made by a certain person was indeed very powerful.

This "Westward Journey" is really controversial. Many people are criticizing it, and many people are coming out to help.

But about this matter... someone also contacted him before, hoping to help.

It's that national power.

It should be said that Lao Zhang is a good person, very thorough in everything he does, and he is also very polite on weekdays.

But it’s still hard to say much about this matter.

Wang Pei, who has a big head and a thick neck, is not a coward in the first place, and he dares to say anything. He has always been such a persona.

But this time, he didn't act rashly.

First, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Second, he still has some small problems in this matter.

Feng Xiaogang is actually pretty good, and he's actually pretty good at hanging out with him.

Wang Wei felt that he was really capable of doing many things, and he also had strong business abilities.

However, many of the works produced by the company formed by the two of them are somewhat lukewarm.

These film and television works were originally novels by Wang Pei, and in terms of sales, they were actually pretty good.

But the reality is this. It used to be very popular, but now the popularity has dropped a bit.

If you think about it from a long-term perspective, this is considered a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much.

A writer can't stay popular forever. Wang Wei understands this in his heart. Moreover, he doesn't care so much about money. He has made enough now.

Let's not talk about that. The key point is that Feng Xiaogang is currently very close to the Wang brothers.

It was obvious that the Wang brothers were behind the Li Chengru incident.

And what should Feng Xiaogang do?
Wang Bei understood that Feng's pants were wet. This guy was obviously a loser. From the current situation, Bai Feng was really powerful.

Even though that boy is young, he really has the means and ideas to do things. Each of those ideas has never been seen before.

Feng Xiaogang used to be Bai Feng's lackey, so there was really no problem with his choice, but then...

Now that we are so close to the Wang brothers, we can no longer be called cowards, but what can we gain?

What strength do the Wang brothers have?
From what Feng Xiaogang said, it seemed that Yu Xiaosheng supported them.

That guy in Yu Xiaosheng is the best at deceiving others, such as Five Elements Acupuncture, Haci Cup, and various medicines.

Good guy, can such a guy really support them?
Wang Pei is actually quite transparent and can see many things clearly. Of course, this is mainly because he is not so sensitive about money.

Now, take a look.

Despite the Wang brothers' efforts, Bai Feng's movie was quite successful.

It’s not that it hasn’t been released yet, it’s already over 2000 million at the box office. Even during the Chinese New Year, you can get so much. It’s obviously a success.

What do you think of Feng Xiaogang?
Wang Bei had to care about this issue because Feng Xiaogang was currently his partner.

It can be regarded as an existence where both are prosperous and suffer losses.

Although the two of them cannot reach the point where Meng is inseparable and Meng is inseparable, their interests are really entangled.

Wang Bei thought in his mind... Feng Xiaogang had better go back and be Bai Feng's lackey.

It's not clear!
What can the Wang brothers have?What can you give us?
But, can this guy Feng Xiaogang be willing to do it?
Wang Pei kept counting, and the company arrived.

He and Feng Xiaogang established a film and television company. This kind of company is a bit like a leather bag company, that's what it is anyway.

As long as you have money, everything else will be taken care of by your friends or someone else.

As a result, the company's reputation is not very big.

Can Feng Pants come today?

As soon as he walked through the door, before he even took off his coat, Feng's pants appeared.

"Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

After a few pleasantries, Wang Bei was waiting for Feng Xiaogang.

Do you want to start that topic now?Or make a choice now?

In fact, Feng Xiaogang was also waiting for Wang Wei to bring up this topic.

There is no way, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Bai Feng family is really awesome.

As far as movies are concerned, I have heard some news through friends.

The "Chinese New Year" a few years ago was originally planned by director Cheng of Beijing Film Studio to create a Lunar New Year show, which was to copy the model from Hong Kong.

However, Director Cheng failed.

However, I can totally understand why Factory Director Cheng did this.

It's just that the movie market is not good, so he wants to find a way to make money.

This time... the current box office of "Westward Journey" seems to be not as high as that of previous movies.

However, there is really hope for this Lunar New Year holiday.

Moreover, if I really insist, after all, this movie has not been released yet, and now it is said that the box office momentum is picking up again.

Then can’t we assume that the Lunar New Year stall was successfully done?
The news Feng Xiaogang heard was that Director Cheng was very happy now.

Yes, I am very satisfied with this series of operations by Bai Feng.

So... think about what the Wang brothers did.

Now, it is clear who should go to.

But what would Wang Wei think?
Feng Xiaogang actually had a kind of admiration for Wang Wei.

This guy with a big head and thick neck is really talented.

When this company was established before, it was actually because of him, Wang Pei.

Looking at it now...it's difficult, really difficult.

I originally thought that after "Sunny Days", Wang Pei's works would reach a whole new level.

But...could it be that guy Bai Feng's marketing methods that really matter?

In other words, no matter how talented Wang Pei is, he still needs to be packaged.

When Feng Xiaogang thought of this, he didn't know how to tell Wang Wei.

We were very close to the Wang brothers before, and the two of them made a promise.

If everyone cooperates, then in the future... everyone will be partners.

This is called a partner.

But where is Bai Feng?
Bai Feng is the boss!

Should we be partners, or should we hang out with Bai Feng and let him be the boss?

It's really a difficult choice.

So, just like that, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Wei stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Has it always been like this?
After all, the two have been working together for a long time, and they can see each other's thoughts.

But who speaks first?

Fortunately, Wang Pei is quite outspoken.

"How big a promise do these Wang brothers make to you?"

This sentence is enough.

Feng Xiaogang took a long breath and then made up his mind.

"It doesn't seem feasible for us to continue as we are now, but the problem in the future is...the two brothers intend to be our partners, but..."

Wang Pei was more straightforward than Feng Xiaogang, "You go and talk to Bai Feng."

Good guy, you should have told me earlier!

Feng Xiaogang complained a little, but the two of them had a direction.

So what is Bai Feng doing now?

……

For the movie "Westward Journey", Bai Feng originally planned to slowly expand to the south.

Of course, there is a problem here, and that is the speed of piracy.

Is it possible that the movie here has passed, and then pirated copies have come out over there?

But Bai Feng has no good solution, because the current reality is like this.

He has just started to pilot the theater system, which is still a long way from the real theater system.

Maybe theaters in many places have seen the good work done here and are following suit, but this is not that easy at all.

Let’s just say that there are many theater chains in the Northeast. Bai Feng has not managed them at all, but fortunately, everyone knows they want to make money.

Therefore, they are still willing to release the movie "Westward Journey".

But without the theater chain system, it would be difficult for cinemas to screen movies efficiently, or as we could easily see later, they would be screened across the country.

Really, releasing it nationwide is a very technically difficult matter, at least at the moment.

We are still in the age of film, and we need to make copies. Unlike later, when everything was online, it was OK to have a key.

So, it can only be done step by step.

There was only a second wave of red in the Northeast, and it was because Ah Xing came in person and brought Uncle Da and others with him.

The lineup can be said to be very strong, which makes many movie fans very happy.

Only with this second wave did the influence really expand.

Next, heading south... Bai Feng still knows very well that there may not be particularly good box office data.

This guy is really cautious.

But it doesn't matter, the current situation is much better than he expected. He originally planned to run this film in the long term.

Making money is not a matter of time.

But something happened that surprised Bai Feng, that is, Bai Feng returned to his small courtyard in the capital.

There are visitors.

"Mr. Bai, hello."

"Hello, Brother Xing."

"Haha...are you surprised?"

"A little bit."

Isn't it surprising? Bai Feng originally planned to go south, but Ah Xing came to visit on his own.

And what happened next was a surprise.

"Mr. Bai, let's talk more simply." "Okay, I like to get straight to the point."

"I have the idea of ​​coming to the mainland for development."

This is a surprise. No explanation is needed, really.

Bai Feng's answer was very strange.

"Brother Xing, you don't need to be too anxious now. My suggestion is to set up a buffer period. That means you shoot two films in Hong Kong first, and then you can focus on our mainland market. Then I will run it and let's see the results.

After that, make a decision. "

This statement sounds weird, but why are you, Bai Feng, so unenthusiastic?
However, this is definitely a clever move.

From what Bai Feng said, it sounds like he was all thinking about Ah Xing, right?

Yes, what if we come here directly and the movie is sold out?
Let’s try it first, take it slow, and wait until the market feedback is good before confirming.

This sounds fine to everyone. Bai Feng considers the other person and is a good person.

But in fact, the brilliance of this move is to win the trust of the other party.

In business negotiations, especially in Bai Feng's original consulting industry, this move is very common.

Because the original purpose of the consulting industry is to give advice to the other party, you just have to think more about the other party.

Before reaching an agreement, you should first help the other party give advice and think about it. It doesn't cost money anyway.

Then, earn the other person’s trust.

Look, how good this consultant is, he thinks about me.

Doesn't this increase the possibility of negotiating a business deal?

Really ordinary.

But now, when Ah Xing heard this, he felt really comfortable.

Bai Feng is a person who knows how to be a friend!

Looking at his face, Bai Feng knew that his method worked.

Well, this is not really a trick, it is completely harmless.

So, what’s the problem with this film?

"Let me tell you clearly, Ji'an has written a new script. His script is really good, and he also plans to learn from the "Fighting Order"..."

From this beginning, Bai Feng understood it instantly.

"Returning to Soul Night".

"Ultimate Killing Order" is "This Killer Isn't Too Cold".

Not to mention, Ah Xing and Wen Wei look quite similar in their cosplay.

This translation... ahem, this is how it is translated in Hong Kong. This name is really suitable for the Hong Kong film market.

in this way……

After hearing this, Bai Feng immediately shook his head, "This won't work."

"what?"

Ah Xing is very strange, why not?
This book feels very good and interesting.

But Bai Feng gave a powerful reason, "We in mainland China can't make this kind of film, and it can't be released."

This reason is enough.

There can't be any ghosts.

Ah Xing was frustrated for a while.

But of course Bai Feng couldn't just let it go, he immediately came up with another move.

"This time, I can actually conclude that it was successful. We were very successful."

After hearing this, Ah Xing felt frustrated.

Bai Feng continued: "And the key to success...the Lunar New Year period!"

Did he define it directly?
No matter, as long as you can fool this Ah Xing.

The Lunar New Year holiday is easy to understand in Ah Xing's concept, but it is different in mainland China.

Because there was no Lunar New Year stall before!
Even, for this time, it should be the Spring Festival period.

So, what exactly does Bai Feng want to say?

"Our success actually has a lot to do with this schedule. This schedule is during the holidays, so everyone has time to watch movies."... This is all nonsense, but it is actually mainly a marketing method for this product.

However, Bai Feng's idea is very clear.

He just wants to really hold up the banner of the Lunar New Year!

That's right, he wants to create this schedule!
So...

"Brother Xing, you also know that in such a schedule, it is best to have a festive and red-hot movie. I have an idea."

"What do you think?"

"Let's watch "The House of Gold and Jade"."

"This……"

Ah Xing's face changed.

Why?

Bai Feng knew it all too well.

Who did "Westward Journey" lose to?

It's this "The House of Gold and Jade"!
This happened in the original time and space, and Bai Feng did not go to Hong Kong at all this time, nor did he interfere much.

Therefore, it still happened as in the original time and space.

"The House of Gold and Jade" beat "Westward Journey" to the ground.

That's a bit too much to say, but it's really true.

To be fair, "The House of Gold" is a classic and definitely a good movie.

However, "Westward Journey" is not bad either.

Both are good movies, but one of them has to be the winner.

"The House of Gold and Marbles", the cast of this movie is much better than that of "Westward Journey" produced by Ah Xing.

Even if Leslie Cheung and Ah Sing can cancel each other out, as for other characters, it's obvious that "The House of Gold" has the upper hand.

Furthermore, this is a film by Mr. Xu. He has much better connections and almost has an absolute advantage in theaters.

When Bai Feng mentions this movie now, it’s strange that Ah Xing is happy!

but!

"Do you want revenge?"

"what?"

Asing's eyes widened.

Bai Feng finally came up with the idea, "Let's also make a food-related movie. Let me think about it... let the protagonist be called Stephen Chow, and he is a food god!"

Good guy, this long note is more interesting than that of the emcee.

But this film captured Ah Xing instantly.

"God of Cookery"!

Could it be something else?
This movie is actually very suitable to be released on the Lunar New Year schedule. To be specific, it will be released during our Spring Festival schedule.

Moreover, the entire movie uses a very warm and prosperous filter.

Yellow or red, that's about it.

Bai Feng didn't know the specific details, but he could tell roughly that he also liked photography.

Moreover, this movie is actually owned by Gangster Huang, just like "The House of Gold".

Don't underestimate Gangster Huang, he is definitely a genius and a real gangster in Hong Kong commercial films.

It was Huang who first established the company, and Mr. Xu joined later.

Boss Huang has always been the real core figure, and Old Monster Xu is one level behind him.

Of course, from a movie perspective, Old Monster Xu is much more powerful than Huang.

Therefore, Bai Feng is now directly taking advantage of the situation.

The script of "The God of Cookery" was written by Tang Niu, who is from Da Lao Huang. He is not from Ah Xing, although he has collaborated with it many times.

And doing this... Bai Feng has something.

Isn’t it like using Zi’s spear to attack Zi’s shield?
Of course, Axing didn't know this. He just felt that the famous advertising and marketing man Bai Feng in front of him... No, he should be called a marketing master.

He has great taste in movies!
I really understand!

If Bai Feng knew that Ah Xing commented like this, he would definitely feel better.

But right now...

"Okay! Let's do it! After Ji An and I finish filming the ghost movie, we will make "The God of Cookery", and then..."

"Same as this year."

Yes, it will be released during the Spring Festival!

Having said this, the two of them clasped their hands together.

Bai Feng's Lunar New Year plan, he feels, is at least half complete.

And after sending Ah Xing away...

"Boss Bai."

Hey guys, my former bastard is here.

"Boss Feng, what are you doing?"

Bai Feng's words were really full of ridicule and sarcasm.

Feng Xiaogang immediately felt dejected... but could not escape.

"Don't be boss Feng, I can't afford to be... Well, I mainly want to talk to the boss about the movie."

"what movie?"

Bai Feng wanted Feng Xiaogang's certificate of submission.

It's like asking for another one.

Of course Feng Xiaogang was prepared.

"Wang Pei and I came up with a movie based on that piece of fruit."

Good guy, it’s so cute.

As a result, this movie aroused Bai Feng's great interest.

"That is, we customize a service for others so that they can realize their dreams. Whatever they want, we will help them realize it."

Yes, this is "Party A and Party B".

After Bai Feng heard this, he originally wanted to make Feng Xiaogang more embarrassed.

But when I think about it, isn’t it done?

Yes, the Lunar New Year plan is almost done!
"Party A and Party B" will be released in December this year, and "God of Cookery" will be released in the Spring Festival next year.

A whole set of small combos, this is the Lunar New Year plus the Spring Festival!

This year has already taken a certain prototype, and Bai Feng can directly finalize it next!
Once the Lunar New Year stall is successful, then he will...

When someone mentions the name Bai Feng in the future, they can probably say this:
He changed Chinese movies!

　This chapter is a bit longer, so I express my sincerity and ask for your understanding. Thank you very much.
