"Then Mr. Qiao admitted that our Shaw Brothers Spring Festival stalls were defeated miserably, and they would not be as good as Golden Harvest, so they came to us after Golden Harvest refused?" Shao Yifu still asked so calmly, not at all like Fang Yihua, with phoenix eyes and angry eyes, looking at Qiao Feng fiercely.

Qiao Feng smiled at Fang Yihua: "Miss Fang, you don't have to be angry, the facts will prove that I am right.Of course, I am not belittling you, and I am also not optimistic about Jiahe.It's just that their investment in the new Shushan Swordsman is much more than that of your Shaw Brothers, so no matter how unsatisfactory the box office is, no matter how bad the reputation is, they have to put it down, so after Jiahe refused, I knew that it was impossible for me to add their Spring Festival stalls, so I could only find you Shaw Brothers."

"Mr. Joe is really honest." Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"What an honesty, I don't think we are taken into account at all." Fang Yihua looked at Qiao Feng coldly: "Even if our film is poor, but we can recover the cost if we show it long enough, why should we cooperate in the release of your film?"

"Miss Fang, you also said, I am cooperating with you, the film is a big hit, not only your theater chain makes money, but the money you invest can also have a good return. Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Whether the interstellar blunt tire is good or not, whether the box office is good or not is still unknown, and whether it is good or not is just Mr. Qiao's words, we can't give up the Spring Festival stalls because of this, I think Mr. Qiao also said the same thing to Zou Wenhuai, and they also refused with the same consideration as the old man, right?" Shao Yifu said.

"Mr. Shao is right." Qiao Feng smiled helplessly.

He also expressed his disbelief in the swordsmen of Xinshu Mountain in Jiahe, but Zou Wenhuai and Shao Yifu Fang Yihua were full of confidence in their own movies, and they didn't think that they would be a box office fiasco as Qiao Feng said, so they had no interest in Qiao Feng's cooperative filming and then occupying the Spring Festival file for release.

Even He Guanchang teased him and said, Mr. Qiao, if you invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the United States, you dare to expect a global box office of 70 million US dollars, nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars, we Golden Harvest dare not compare with you, but after investing more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, we are still confident that we can make a small profit at a small cost.

In this case, there is no need for Qiao Feng to talk about it anymore, and Jiahe will definitely not let go of the Spring Festival stalls.

"Golden Harvest has invested so much confidence, we have invested nearly 10 million less than them, and there is no reason to lack confidence. Shao Yifu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qiao Feng smiled bitterly, he knew that it would be like this, as Shao Daheng, who dominated the film industry in the sixties and seventies and stood side by side with Jiahe, how could his courage and self-confidence be worse than Zou Wenhuai.

If it weren't for people being too picky and forcing Li Xiaolong and Xu Guanwen to Jiahe, Jiahe probably wouldn't have survived until now.

However, Qiao Feng, who was rejected again, was not discouraged, because the situation of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe was different.

Golden Harvest investment is too high, more than 20 million, if you want to recover the investment, you can only screen for a long time, but the Shaw Brothers investment is only more than 10 million, the investment pressure is not so great, and the attendance rate is too low to be painted.

In fact, in addition to the blockbuster films in recent years, Shaw Brothers can only barely maintain the balance of payments most of the time, and many times it is not good.

Self-sufficiency looks beautiful, but the Shaw Brothers under the big studio system is pressed enough by the labor wages alone, and because of the low salary, capable young people have run out, leaving behind some old people who can't keep up with the times, and the films made are not popular with the audience, and then the box office of the movie is low, and in turn it has to compress the investment in the film, the salary of the actors, and then the film is worse and the box office is lower.

In a word, Shaw Brothers is on the road of a vicious circle and can't stop, if it weren't for the big business, it would have gone bankrupt.

Knowing the situation of Shaw Brothers, as well as the memory that the original space-time interstellar blunt tire was only released in a hurry for three days and had to draw a picture after getting more than 6 million box office with its initial popularity, Qiao Feng made a bet with Shao Yifu with confidence.

"Bet?" Shao Yifu asked in surprise.

"That's right, bet. I'm betting that the audience reputation of the interstellar blunt tire audience will be very poor, and the attendance rate will drop rapidly. If I'm wrong, then I'll send you a script for free. Qiao Feng said.

"Mr. Qiao, with all due respect, it seems that no matter how you look at this gambling contract, it will be beneficial to our Shaw Brothers, but for Mr. Qiao, you may lose a script worth millions and tens of millions. Although Shao Yifu was old, his eyes were always shrewd, and when he asked this, he was full of confusion.

"I said it because I don't like to let Xinyicheng come out, Mr. Shao, do you believe it?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"I believe it." Shao Yifu nodded knowingly, he thought that it was the best partner released at the beginning of the year, Mecca, Lei Juekun They arrogantly said that they would trample the God of Gamblers under their feet to create a new record, which provoked Qiao Feng, so Qiao Feng would be like this.

Qiao Feng didn't know what Shao Yifu was thinking, of course he knew that he wouldn't explain much.

"Then Mr. Shao agreed to this bet?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Qiao's conditions are so good, the old man can't agree or not.Now can you tell me what type of film you want to make, it's not easy to overpower the sequel of the best partner, does Mr. Qiao want to make a sequel to the God of Gamblers?" Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"It's not a sequel to the God of Gamblers, it's a zombie comedy." Qiao Feng Dao.

"What, zombie movie, what's the joke?" Fang Yihua, who didn't speak for a while, was annoyed again.

Shao Yifu's face was also not good, and he asked inquiringly: "How did Mr. Qiao think of making zombie movies, the audience doesn't like this theme very much.In the past two years, the box office of one or two films made by Hong Jinbao is not bad, and you can fight Mr. Qiao with this kind of film and the sequel of the best partner with a large audience base, are you sure you can do it?"

No wonder Shao Yifu is so unconfident and unconfident, it's really unbearable to look back on the past.

In 74, Shaw Brothers invested heavily in cooperating with the British company Hammer to shoot a zombie film that combines Western vampires and China's "Xiangxi Corpse" legend, called Seven Golden Corpses.

The director of this film is British, the screenwriter is British, and the company he works with is still the company that has shot many vampire movies, such as Ritual of the Devil, Dracula, etc., which is known as the "vampire stronghold" of Hammer.

This film is a combination of local and foreign, and Shaw Brothers promoted it vigorously back then, which was quite important, but the reality gave Shao Yifu a slap in the face.

Since then, not to mention Shaw Brothers, as far as other companies are concerned, the entire Hong Kong film industry has not dared to touch the zombie theme again in the next ten years.

Now Qiao Feng said that he was going to make a zombie film that left a shadow on Shao Yifu against the best partner No. 2, and Shao Yifu was confident that he would be surprised.
