Chapter 074 Leading the Era of 6000 Million HKD Box Office in Hong Kong
6:00 AM Hong Kong Island time on May 19th.
Su Nan was tidying up some small tasks in her study when the landline rang.
As soon as he answered the call, John from 20th Century Fox burst into laughter, "Sue, it's done! We succeeded!"
"At the previous Cannes Film Festival, (Project Gutenberg) won the Best Actor award."
"Robert is still got it, haha, he's been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor multiple times and won it once."
"This time, after spending a lot of money, we finally won one of the three major European Best Actor awards."
"We missed out on other major awards, but the Best Actor trophy is enough!"
It's probably just the 19th in Cannes, Europe right now.
However, the results of the 1992 prize race are definitely in.
I vaguely remember that the Best Director and Best Actor awards this year were originally given to the (Big Player) crew.
But (The Big Player) is just so-so, a crime comedy about Hollywood film studio producers and screenwriters.
It also earned it an Oscar nomination for Best Director in 93.
However, its reputation on Douban is not as good as (Dynasty Warriors), and it is far inferior to Robert (Good Guy).
The box office was a complete disaster, with only a little over 20 million US dollars!
The American version of (Dynasty Warriors) won the Cannes Best Actor award? It's not like they said Dynasty Warriors completely crushed The Player.
The film's quality speaks for itself, and Robert, who plays the role of Wu Fusheng in the Mi version, is also a highly experienced actor.
He was a veteran actor in his forties who had been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor twice in the 1970s.
Was it the combined efforts of 20th Century Fox's own award campaign team and Robert's personal efforts? It was the result of a multi-pronged, mutually supportive collaboration.
Robert's original trajectory has also been consistently aimed at the three major European film festivals, such as receiving a Golden Lion nomination at the Venice Film Festival in 93.
Confirmed to have received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival!
With the right collaboration between actors and major production companies, and a little effort, success will come naturally.
With this award (Unparalleled), the release and promotion of the product will have another major buzz.
Su Nan stood up and said with a smile, "Congratulations, this is really going to be a huge hit."
Robert's global status is far higher than Wan Ziliang's, which is a major selling point for the Chinese version's promotion.
When you compare Wan Ziliang and Robert side by side?
This is a super affirmation and a blatant attempt to elevate Wan Ziliang's status.
To date, Lao Wan has only been nominated for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards once, and has been nominated for Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards five times, which is a confirmed fact that he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
Can this be considered equally important to movie fans worldwide?
From this summer onwards, regardless of how Asian audiences criticize Wan Ziliang and Robert's acting skills.
It was the curious fans in the US who observed the difference between Old Man and Robert.
Lao Wan's status has unknowingly skyrocketed, hasn't it?
Wan Ziliang had previously mentioned that Chang Hong Lao Wu wanted to invite him to act in a film, with a revised fee of HK$150 million.
Robert Downey Jr. is making millions of dollars a year now? He'll be making tens of millions of dollars a year from now.
Old Wan is like this, Liang Jiahui is directly trying to piggyback on Nicolas Cage's fame.
Ultimately, Nicolas Cage won the role of "Li Wen" in the American version.
John laughed even louder, "Sue, you're a genius! I've heard the biggest rumor in Hong Kong right now."
"Rumors stop with the wise? The rumors have spread so wildly that they're just trying to boost our box office."
"We also launched a rumor campaign and announced that another title for (Project Gutenberg) is 'How to Print Dollars Step by Step'."
"I am now very confident that (Project Gutenberg) will break $1 million at the European and American box office."
The huge profits from the remake (Never Ending) have already given John a greater voice in the 20th century.
This project's explosive success? For many industry professionals, it's a trump card performance!
Su Nan chuckled, "When (Dynasty Warriors) achieves phenomenal box office success during the summer season, don't forget (Kung Fu)."
John quickly replied, "Of course not, I can offer 300 million euros for the distribution rights of (Kung Fu) right now."
"As long as you nod, I'll arrange for someone to sign the contract with you after dawn."
Skyworth would still be at a disadvantage with only $300 million.
It's simply the initial stage of a business, and Southern Jiangsu is considering a series of overall goals and the future.
Before Jackie Chan even broke into Hollywood, it was quite a miracle that a film with an all-Chinese cast could fetch this price.
He plans to create large-scale special effects in the future, including working on smoke bombs for Skyworth's special effects studio.
This all requires collaboration with 20th Century Fox.
Even if they were to win a lottery for a super AI, Skyworth would still buy a supercomputer as a smokescreen to avoid suspicion from the outside world.
He wanted to prove to the outside world that he didn't create special effects out of thin air, but had his own machines.
Su Nan lit a cigarette. "I can accept 300 million in the US, but it would be 500 million in Europe. There are many Chinese kung fu movie fans in Europe and the US too."
John immediately retorted, "You have quite the appetite, but it's not entirely hopeless."
"After multiple successes, we will only want to remake more and more Skyworth projects. Your original works are basically B-level productions, which are likely to become dark horses."
If there's a disagreement about the price, they can discuss it slowly. The two chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
When Su Nan hung up the landline, he didn't seem particularly upset.
At this stage, we're still focusing on developing our business cautiously. In the future, once we can take over Skyworth's operations, the numbers won't be small.
Twentieth Century Fox profited the most from this overall collaboration, but Skyworth will also reap more than ten million US dollars in profit.
Not to mention Wan Ziliang and Liang Jiahui in East and Southeast Asia.
Then, the popularity of Rosamund Kwan, Ah Hong, and Vivian Chow will surge dramatically.
It will rewrite the landscape of the early to mid-90s with Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, and Jackie Chan!
After all, as expected, Neo, the savior of (Hacker 1), was cast as Li Ming. In early 92, Li Ming joined Skyworth Film and Television and began practicing action routines for several months.
Leung Ka-fai plays Morpheus, the leader of a human resistance organization in a film.
Ah Hong corresponds to Trinity's action heroine, so there are no intimate scenes or stunt doubles used; the scenes are filmed from different angles.
Whether the characters in the play should still use these names needs further discussion.
Following the (hacker) trilogy, Li and Liang were even able to suppress the appeal of Chow Yun-fat and Stephen Chow in Taiwan, Korea, and Thailand.
In Europe and America, their influence will surpass that of the West.
Neo, the male lead in The Matrix, also showcased a lot of exciting fight scenes.
All of Liang Jiahui's contracts are with Skyworth. They've made a fortune at the box office, and Skyworth is just trying to ride on his coattails and boost their own status!
The profits from (Dynasty Warriors) and the money earned from the release of (Kung Fu Hustle) were enough to support him in starting the filming of (The Hacker) at the end of 92.
The construction of the Shanghai Blue Screen Studio needs to be accelerated.
The term "blue screen filming" mainly refers to the scene where Neo, played by Li Ming, poses with the help of wires while computer software remotely controls 120 cameras to take pictures.
The bullet time animation, originally a static photo sequence, is combined with CGI rendering to create dynamic effects.
The combination of "Dynasty Warriors" and "The Hacker" series propelled Chen Hong to stardom, earning her tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in film fees and annual GG endorsement fees.
It's almost late May, and the 1992 summer movie season is about to begin—this is good news all the time.
Su Nan then drank a cup of tea before going downstairs to buy breakfast.
It is estimated that Hong Kong Island newspapers will not have time to revise their layout today, or they will only be able to publish an express edition to publicize the achievements of the Cannes Awards Night.
However, the news that the American version of "Project Gutenberg" won the Cannes Best Actor award has probably already spread and impacted the film and television industry in East and Southeast Asia.
Wan Ziliang and Liang Jiahui will wake up one day to find themselves being compared face-to-face with Robert Downey Jr. and Nicolas Cage by countless people.
Two versions to be released successively? Ahui, the versatile actor, is no weaker than Cage now, and his performance is even stronger!
Various grand stages have been set up, yet rumors continue to circulate wildly.
Skyworth is just waiting for the box office in Hong Kong Island to break 5000 million and then surge to 6000 million.
It even surpassed the 60 million box office era of "Jurassic Park".
