Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 247: The music and film industry in 1993 was swept away

Originally, according to the plan, the promotion of the movie "Fang Shiyu" relied on Jet Li.

After all, he is the main box office holder.

However, Jet Li has encountered trouble recently and his plans have changed.

Therefore, He Jin had to be tasked with promoting the movie.

Speaking of Jet Li's troubles, this is really painful.

At the Top Ten Golden Songs Awards Ceremony in January, Anita Mui, Chen Baixiang and others were still envious of Jet Li's girlfriend Li Zhi who moved to the business and transformed from a star to a strong business woman.

result.

As a result, within two months, Li Zhi lost his temper.

She spent tens of millions investing in real estate in Shandong.

As a result, house prices plummeted, and her partners took their money and ran away, turning her from a strong business woman into a bankrupt with negative assets.

If the box office is bad, it will naturally not be busy.

In other words, Yongsheng is now a subsidiary company of China Star.

He can imagine that in the next two years, they will definitely have the final say in the Hong Kong film industry.

It would be strange if he didn't smile with such joy!

The beginning of the year has just begun, and the music scene in Hong Kong is already booming.

Originally, according to the plan, this year's Zhengdong Film and Television was going to create a movie around Jet Li.

Early 1993.

Well, apart from these two, the Four Little Heavenly Kings, the other two people in the music world... I won’t mention them.

In addition, my Japanese and Korean single album must be produced as soon as possible, and then the Mandarin album..."

He Jin said.

It is also because he signed a contract with Xiang Huaqiang. In a few days, he will start to star in "Once Upon a Time: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" produced by China Star, so he cannot attend the subsequent promotion of "Fang Shiyu".

Subsequently, Jet Li signed a six-film contract with Xiang Huaqiang in exchange for 72 million.

Lin Zhiying's song "Drama Dream" directly wrote the words he once said in the media, "This year you are the king, next year I will be the supreme" into the song, showing that I am not convinced by the five kings.

He planned to pay off the debt for Lizhi.

However, he himself does not have many assets.

He Jin's song "Can't Say Goodbye" became popular in Hong Kong and Macao, making him the most popular man in Hong Kong, beating Andy Lau and Lai Ming in the voting of various magazines in Hong Kong for the first time.

There are five kings in the music scene who are popular all over the country.

But now that Jet Li has signed a film contract with China Star, this plan will inevitably conflict.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. Whether our company can continue to make movies in the future depends on whether "Fang Shiyu" can be a big hit!

To break down the people who have been able to compete at the box office in Hong Kong in recent years, they include Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Lam Ching-ying, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li, and the Five Kings.

Our company’s subsequent films may rely on you to take on the big responsibility!”

Jackie Chan's "City Hunter" was a good start. It was released in January and by the time it was released, it had a box office of 30.76 million.

Others don't know why, but Jet Li borrowed 10 million from him anyway.

"I'll go in first, and we'll chat together later!"

Whether Jet Li will be busy in the follow-up will all depend on the box office performance of "Fang Shiyu".

Although he had made many box-office hits for Jiahe before, he only made two to three million per movie.

"Can!"

Then, the senior veteran in the music industry and Michelle Yeh's partner, George Lam, also stepped in. The album "Lin Zixiang, Michelle Yeh's Warmth Collection" directly announced in a high profile that the two were a couple.

According to Jet Li, she now owes a total of nearly 70 million, which she cannot pay back.

In the middle of last month, Yongsheng's Xiang brothers separated.

"To the boss! Welcome, please come inside!"

Subsequently, last year's biggest winner, Stephen Chow, was not to be outdone, with a movie called "Fight Back to School 3" that sold 25.77 million at the box office.

Jacky Cheung, with his album "Kiss Goodbye" released in March, took the lead in sales and became the most popular singer at the moment.

He Jin talked about his plans for this year with a headache on his face.

After hearing what He Jin said about his plans for this year, Jet Li was helpless.

Jet Li said.

Then, Jet Li took on the responsibility of a man at this time.

Xiang Huasheng continued to operate Yongsheng Company, while Xiang Huaqiang began to operate the listed company China Star he founded.

And now, in addition to Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao, Lin Zhengying.

Lai Ming and Aaron Kwok are slightly inferior, but with the help of the name of the Five Heavenly Kings, fans will follow them wherever they go.

"Brother, I also have a drama appointment with them! Where can I find the time?"

He Jin and Jet Li nodded.

Throughout Chinese Asia, he once set off a frenzy of singing "I kiss you goodbye, in that deserted street."

Therefore, Jet Li's contract was not with Yongsheng, but with China Star.

In addition to the Five Heavenly Kings, Zhou Huimin has become the most popular female singer in Hong Kong with "Next Stop Queen" and "My Pride".

The music world is turbulent, and the film world is also fiercely competitive.

Wu Qilong's words are much more low-key. After last year's "Have a Happy Journey" became a hit, this year he transformed into a dream-chasing boy and started "Chasing Dreams".

"Take some time to come out! Look, I will join the crew of "Once Upon a Time: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede" tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. And if "Fang Shiyu" has a good box office, I will definitely start preparing for the second part immediately."

"Haha! With the powerful combination of the Variety Singer and the Kung Fu Emperor, this movie will definitely be a hit!"

Therefore, although he can take out some money now, the difference between it and 70 million is not much.

Jet Li said while welcoming the guests who came.

If "Fang Shiyu" fails, Zhengdong's subsequent films will definitely have to turn to small-production films.

"My specific time may depend on my schedule. Next month, I will start a concert tour. In May, my new album will be released and I will definitely have to promote it again.

So, he started asking people in his circle to borrow money.

Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile.

…

If it fails, it’s useless for us to think too much now!”

If the box office is good, then he will be busy.

Andy Lau's "True Style" album allowed him to completely break away from the standard of not being able to sing and become a cross-border actor who can sing.

Just mention it here by the way.

What he said didn't make sense.

In addition, Wang Jingwen used the remaining power of "Easily Injured Woman" to release the album "Unrepentant" in February, making her famous again.

Can you stop laughing?

"This year and next, my focus should shift to movies produced by China Star.

Of course, apart from local singers in Hong Kong, the Four Little Heavenly Kings of Taiwan are also unwilling to be left alone.

Others, including the Five Heavenly Kings, actually signed contracts with their company.

It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived. He Jin and others had just arrived at the entrance of the theater to greet the guests when they saw Boss Xiang and his wife Xiang Tai walking over calmly while reporters were taking pictures.

Hearing this, He Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"What a headache!"

Xiang Huaqiang's face burst into laughter.

At the same time, "Once Upon a Time and Three Lions" produced by Golden Harvest and starring Jet Li also hit a box office of 27.43 million.

In addition, "Happy Events in the Flower Fields" starring Xu Guanjie and Leslie Cheung was released in January and directly grossed an impressive box office of 35.48 million.

During the Lunar New Year period from January to March alone, there were four movies with a box office of over 20 million.

This shows how hot the movie market is this year.
