Superstars start from HK Entertainment

Chapter 446 Fast and Furious (2)

At the entrance of Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel, He Jin and Andy Lau stood alone. Next to them, Johnnie To, Liu Qingyun, Xiao Jue and others were there.

Although many He Jin fans are boycotting Vivian Chow, she is one of the heroines in this drama.

It's impossible for He Jin to reduce her role.

Therefore, she also attended today's event with He Jin.

Compared with the previous few times, Huaren Film and Television's films were screened directly, and the invited guests and film critics went directly to the theater.

Things are different this time around with "The Fast and the Furious."

In order to achieve the desired effect in publicity, He Jin and Andy Lau held a premiere reception at the Shangri-La Hotel.

And now, He Jin and his team are standing here just to welcome the guests and film critics who came to the reception.

"Ah Jin, your career is getting more and more prosperous! I wish you a great box office success!"

From a distance, Leslie Cheung, actress Anita Yuen and Tony Leung's wife Carina Lau, who have recently emerged in the past two years, were walking towards this side.

"Miss Yuan, Sister Jialing!"

Although this investment is not as high as Jackie Chan's 50-60 million-dollar drama, it is still a big investment.

If it's a loss, the only option is to put the film on hold and wait until the storm has passed before releasing it.

Since Huaxing Electric was handed over to Zheng Donghan, Huaxing used the vast copyright library of Huaxing Records to adopt a sales model of buying electric appliances and giving famous singers VCD records.

And according to the statistics sent back yesterday.

Not only in terms of investment and distribution, this film was also distributed by Tianmu and Huaren themselves, and was not handed over to other distribution companies.

"Investment! There are wins and losses. You have a good vision. There is a high chance that I can make money by following you."

The advantage of being able to produce VCDs yourself is that there is no need to hand over the CD distribution rights to others when it would be better to sell them yourself!

"If this movie makes a profit, what will the next movie we two brothers do?"

After all, they have invested more than 20 million now. If they want to make money, the box office and CD income must exceed about 35 million for the two of them to make money.

If successful, then with this independent production and distribution case, the two companies will largely get rid of the situation of relying on other companies for distribution.

Although the two of them will earn more if they do this at the box office, it is also very risky.

Moreover, He Jin and the others dared to publish independently and only handed over the theatrical release rights to Golden Harvest, while holding all other rights in their hands, so they had something to rely on.

After sending several people into the hotel, He Jin and Andy Lau returned to the hotel entrance, bragging and spanking while waiting for other guests.

Of course, many people will not be able to come due to various reasons.

Carina Lau smiled and joked with He Jin and Andy Lau.

"Fast and Furious" was filmed in two parts at once, and the first part will be released today.

However, the outside world is not optimistic about it, but they still admire He Jin and Andy Lau for their courage to play such a big role.

If it makes money, it will naturally be released within this year.

"The battle between you two is getting bigger and bigger. Please take more care of us in the future!"

He Jin and his party came forward to greet him.

Generally, when the publicity reaches a certain level, the distribution company will go to the streets to interview and collect audience expectations for the drama.

The reason why the three of them came together was not because they had any ulterior secrets.

He Jin said with a smile.

Who can guarantee that He Jin and Andy Lau will lose.

This interview data made Andy Lau, who was wary after investing, feel much better.

Especially after the promotional video for "The Fast and the Furious" was aired on TVB's prime time slot at night, many fans expressed that they were looking forward to the movie.

He Jin smiled and said that he was just making a small fuss, while he and Andy Lau invited a few people into the hotel.

Now that the second part has been filmed, it will definitely be released, but the timing of its release depends on whether the first part can make money.

What is even more valuable is that this drama is solely owned by the company of He Jin and Andy Lau.

Among the 100 people interviewed, 82 people knew about "Fast and Furious", and among them, about 50 people may go to the theater to watch it.

Movies have always had an element of gambling in them.

This reliance is Huaxing Electric.

Also because of the high risk, many people in the industry are not optimistic about them.

Andy Lau is okay, although his focus has turned to recording in the past two years, and the films he has made are all small productions.

The reason for this is that He Jin concluded that if "The Fast and the Furious" fails at the box office, then he and Andy Lau will definitely fall into the swamp of public opinion for a period of time.

In comparison, He Jin's films in the past two years were all produced by Zhongda.

But recently they are filming the movie "Golden Leaves" produced by Oriental Film Distribution Co., Ltd. and directed by Chen Kexin, starring the three of them.

Not to mention, this model of buying a VCD player and getting records as a gift is really a killer move.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money if you invest with me?"

Among these people, there are fans of He Jin, fans of Andy Lau, and casual fans of the two of them, and there are also many people who simply saw the promotion and thought the movie would be interesting.

Although many people are not optimistic about "The Fast and the Furious", their disapproval cannot stop the audience from looking forward to this movie.

"It's a small fight, nothing serious. Brother, Sister Jialing, Miss Yuan, please come inside!"

The investment in "The Fast and the Furious" exceeds 20 million, and with the investment in various aspects of promotion, the investment in this movie so far has almost reached 26 million.

But almost all of these people called both of them.

The title "brother" is not only what Leslie Cheung's fans call him, but also reporters and colleagues call him this.

In just a few months, Huaxing VCD has almost dominated the entire Hong Kong market by ripping VCD albums of songs from well-known singers in its copyright library.

There are many big directors and big stars like Jackie Chan, and they have even invited senior executives of many film and television companies.

"Brother! Long time no see!"

Andy Lau said.

But small production has the advantage of small production. Even if it fails, it will not have much impact.

And when we break down the Hong Kong movies over the years, there are a few that have sold over 30 million in box office, CD and overseas copyright sales.

The two of them planned to make the reception bigger this time, so they invited a lot of people. They invited almost everyone they were familiar with in the circle.

"Let's talk about it! If the first part has a good box office, we will find a way to release the second part as soon as possible. As for the third part, it depends on how much money it can make for us."

Most of them seem to have a high box office, but with the exception of "The Five Ancestors of Shaolin", all of them have lost money to the producers.

If "The Fast and the Furious" hits again, he may be known as a box office poison like Chow Yun-fat back then.

The title of box office poison is not friendly to actors.

Whoever carries it will be unlucky.
