Chapter 52 Let the Bullets Fly a Little Longer
A few days later, at 8:00 AM on July 15th.
Wearing a mask and sunglasses, Rosamund Kwan returned home from outside, carrying a pile of newspapers and magazines.
After she took off her mask and sunglasses, she excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Nan, there are another bunch of movie reviews praising (kung fu)."
"There are too many people saying nice things, but I specifically collected the negative reviews that said bad things about us."
"There are bad things said in newspapers like the Sing Tao Daily and the Silver World magazine."
"Some humorous film critics have said that Ah Hong's performance lasted several minutes without uttering a single line, perhaps because her lines were too bad and she was too embarrassed to speak."
The Cantonese spoken by Sister Guan.
Ah Hong understood. She put down her breakfast and complained, "If my lines are bad, I can use a voice actor."
"This movie is mainly about artistic conception and freehand style, which is something those flops won't understand."
Starting at the end of June, I will be flying to Moscow, the United States, and other destinations.
Even now, after its opening weekend, Ah Hong has become a huge star.
Without going into too much detail, a company has already contacted Skyworth's brokerage team and offered Ah Hong a GG price of HK$10 to endorse a clothing brand.
There were also offers of 15 yuan to have her endorse sunglasses, as well as lipsticks, shower gels, facial cleansers, and the like.
If she takes on more clients, she could quickly become a millionaire.
There have also been offers from outsiders for her movie salary, some reaching as high as 10 yuan.
Not counting the mutually beneficial business deal of Wing Shing casting Rosamund Kwan in "God of Gamblers II: The Shanghai Bund".
The fact that even those with 10 yuan can catch up with the most beautiful Miss Hong Kong, Li Jiaxin, and the rising star, Zhou Huimin, is the best demonstration of value.
Kung Fu Hustle grossed HK$1072 million in its opening weekend at Golden Harvest Cinemas, which ran for four days.
This bombshell is just as amazing as last year's (God of Gamblers).
Su Nan took the newspapers and magazines from Rosamund Kwan's hand. "You even collect articles that say bad things about people? That's hilarious."
It feels like they're specifically remembering who didn't send money or gifts.
Sister Kwan chuckled, "You sold Taiwan for HK$1000 million, how does Taiwan and South Korea operate?"
"Should we collaborate with Golden Harvest or try contacting individual film distributors?"
Su Nan had long considered contacting Sony, but since he didn't yet have a way to do so, there was no rush.
In the past, when Golden Harvest distributed its products to island nations, it was mainly in cooperation with Toho.
He smiled and shook his head, "Let's wait and see. As long as the box office and word-of-mouth in Hong Kong keep getting better and better."
"Publishers from outside will come to us on their own initiative; that's always been Mak's approach."
They have various distribution channels, including Jiahe and Yongsheng.
Yong Sheng also collaborates a lot with Lao Yang, and its distribution in Japan is a long-standing collaboration with Toei.
Let the bullets fly a little longer; the higher they fly, the louder the echo.
Rosamund Kwan laughed and said, "Alright, you guys keep firing away, I need to get to the set and start filming."
"After investing in Microsoft for so long by buying at rock-bottom prices, my little money is growing bigger and bigger, and my motivation to work is like a mushroom or a horse."
She said that mainly because Su Nan would occasionally come up with some interesting words and phrases, and after hearing them so many times, she just started to say the same thing.
Over this long period of time, Su Nan continued to invest in Microsoft, acquiring a 0.1% stake, and spent more than 5 million US dollars in total.
He amassed $15 million by siphoning off $20 to $170 monthly from Moscow.
The main reason is that the Hong Kong crew also needs to be paid during the filming of (Kung Fu), which is the result of Yuen Ho-ping's Yuen Clan working for free.
Hung Kam-po paid HK$2000 million in tuition fees, which Jackie Chan exchanged for HK$3000 million.
This HK$5000 million is equivalent to US$641 million.
In total, Su Nan once held more than eight million dollars in wealth and invested one-thousandth of it in Microsoft.
The remaining two million dollars were poured into Oracle, representing a one-thousandth stake.
These two sums of money? Microsoft's investment was worth $93 million in 2200 and around $94 million in 3400.
If 94 were to be released (The Matrix), it could basically cover half of Hollywood's special effects budget.
Of course, hacking also requires a lot of makeshift filming techniques. For example, the scene where the female lead is being chased and jumps off a building at the beginning, leaping more than ten meters from one rooftop to another, actually required wire work for filming.
The hacker scenes were actually filmed live, similar to the martial arts scenes in "Swordsman II" where characters leap across rooftops. The CGI exaggerated the sense of distance and created a fake urban background.
One-thousandth of Oracle's stock price was worth $10 million during the period of sharp decline and subsequent recovery.
A four- to five-fold increase in value within two years is also top-notch!
By 95, that investment of over two million US dollars had grown to over twenty million US dollars.
With the money from selling the port, Old Yang from Wanwan can continue to invest.
After a month of deliberation, the other party finally agreed to transport the production line for 1000 million!
The last time Su Nan went to the United States, besides visiting the Golden Harvest film crew preparing for the movie "Speed".
Also, contact those special effects studios in advance to inquire about their development progress.
Even setting aside the stock, which will be worth fifty to sixty million US dollars in three years, there is still room for further investment.
(Kung Fu) recovered its losses at the Hong Kong box office, and selling it to South Korea and trying to sell it to the United States are also vital ways to recover its losses!
Of course, once the (hacker) turns on the computer and creates the special effects, Su Nan won't have to sell his stocks; he can simply use them as collateral to get a loan from HSBC.
By then, the hand-cranked emergency radios produced through cooperation with mainland China will be able to be sold to Europe, America, and island nations to earn US dollars!
The difference is whether the annual output value is one million US dollars or tens of millions of dollars.
The first pot of gold he, the time traveler, had saved for (The Matrix) was finally secure.
For example, in a scene where the female lead is hit by a large truck in a phone booth and disappears instantly, it would require agents like Jiao Enjun to drive a large truck to actually crash into her.
Using the illusion of visual displacement to create the final product.
What Su Nan needs to learn now is how to shoot blue screens on Hollywood blockbuster sets.
This included setting up a blue screen studio on the mainland and teaching Hong Kong film industry actors various blue screen shooting methods before filming began.
Various architectural and prop models from The Matrix are also cheaper in mainland China.
These filming and production plans are on an annual basis, and Rosamund Kwan and Ah-Hong are aware of them.
After Sister Guan finished breakfast and went to the film set with her bodyguards, Ah Hong laughed and said, "Brother Nan, you make one film every year or every few years."
"The pace is slower and more meticulous than that of mainland Chinese and Hollywood directors."
"With Hong Kong productions, not to mention Wang Jing consistently producing three to five films a year, Director Tsui can also produce three or four films if he starts filming quickly."
Speaking only of efficiency, Anan Ishigaki is currently in the same boat as Wong Kar-wai.
Su Nan laughed, "(The Hacker 1) script has been registered with the U.S. Copyright Office."
"Once the (kung fu) storm has passed this summer, we can go to Shanghai to continue making photographic architectural models."
He doesn't just act for the money.
Thankfully, the (kung fu) game is a huge hit. I'm waiting to see if I can win the Tathagata Palm skill in the lottery.
Or perhaps you'll draw the Twelve-Road Tan Leg technique? Or the Heavenly Cripple and Earthly Deficiency sound attack and sound kill abilities? Either way, it's extraordinary in the modern world.
Ah Hong snuggled up to his arm, "Want to go crazy one more time before going out? Didn't you say I'm getting more and more radiant? I can't stay idle."
"By the way, Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Pang, and Xiao Tong are also planning to come and visit during the summer vacation."
"Or you could work while studying, would you like to have your meals, accommodation, and travel expenses covered?"
After the movie was released, she felt that Brother Nan was more passionate about her, which was a significant boost.
Ah Hong felt that she had become famous and a star not only in Hong Kong Island.
Returning to Shanghai now is a completely different story; even top mainland actresses like Gong Li are still on a monthly salary.
Her acting skills are not as good as Gong Li's, but her popularity after "Kung Fu Hustle" is on par with hers.
Chen Xuan, who played the mute girl, was offered a salary of 5000 RMB when filming began.
They're waiting for the project to explode in both box office and word-of-mouth before offering extra bonuses.
Summer vacation officially begins across China in mid-July.
Su Nan thought for a moment and nodded, "Covering the travel and accommodation is fine, make the arrangements."
Besides needing encouragement at school, those child stars also need to keep up with their learning on film sets.
He almost overlooked the fact that, for example, Xu Yajun, Jiao Enjun, and Hong Xin have been constantly immersed in various film crews for training, and child stars should not be neglected.
