There was a knock on the door, and after getting a reply from the voice inside, Chen Baixiang, as the filming manager of Mingjia Cinema Line, pushed the door in with joy and some sadness.

Sometimes Chen Baixiang also fantasizes about Xu Ziming writing a script to make him popular.

In fact, he will also take on some movies in private, but the box office results of those movies are not even one-third of Xu Zi's, and they are properly bad movies.

Not to mention that you can't make a lot of money, on the contrary, you will stink your reputation.

Chen Baixiang made a table of the current box office situation of the theater and handed it to Xu Ziming's table, Xu Ziming looked at the bell on the wall and said, "Zeng Zhiwei's financial statement should be about to arrive, right?"

Chen Baixiang and Zeng Zhiwei were hired by Xu Ziming as early as two years ago, Chen Baixiang is in charge of the cinema filming, and Zeng Zhiwei is in charge of the company's finances.

"Right away. Chen Baixiang replied with a smile.

Since Xu Ziming came back from Hong Kong, the company's successive filming of "Prison Storm" and "The Saint of Gambling" have been blockbusters, and Chen Baixiang, the cinema scheduling manager, has been busier than ever.

Zeng Zhiwei came in with a small abdomen holding the financial slip, not to mention how bright his bright smile was, but when he looked closely, his eyes were vaguely mixed with a little disappointment.

"Mr. Xu, "Prison Storm" is a big hit in the Nanyang area, with a box office of up to 30 million yuan, and the Japanese side is still in the process of poking and talking. Zeng Zhiwei handed over the form as he spoke.

Xu Ziming turned his seat, took the list of financial forms, and said curiously: "I heard that the box office of "Lucky Stars" has exceeded 30 million when it was painted. ”

During the Spring Festival, Xu Ziming went to Shanghai to investigate, and many news about the Hong Kong film industry did not have time to understand, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang have been busy with film matters, and they naturally know much more about these situations than Xu Ziming himself.

"Wishing you prosperity" on the side of Xinyi City is three days later than the release of "Fuxing Gaozhao", but the next painting is three days earlier than "Fuxing Gaozhao", and the remaining "Royal Senior Sister" and "Gambling Saint" masterpieces, only "Gambling Saint" is still being released.

Although "The Saint of Gambling" is still in theaters, due to the influence of the aftermath of "Lucky Stars", the current box office results have not exceeded 30 million, and the box office is hovering around 27 million.

Looking at this appearance, the box office of this movie will definitely not reach the 40 million box office in the original time and space.

In fact, Xu Ziming knew that if he staggered time and space to do this, he might not be able to win with certainty. Similarly, he forcibly made Zhou Xingchi, a person who was not famous before, the protagonist, a reason why the box office did not achieve the expected effect.

However, the box office results really didn't make him think that he could shrink by 10 million, so unexpectedly. Compared with the current situation of "The Saint of Gambling", the news of the popularity of "Lucky Star" has been spreading in the media in Hong Kong in the past few days.

Just like Yishu, who was a press officer in the government information department and occasionally wrote dots and essays, couldn't help but write a movie review in "Ming Pao" at this time.

There is such a passage in her article: "...... For other directors, "Lucky Stars" is not just a comedy, but a complete disaster film. "The True Color of Heroes", which has always broken the box office record of Hong Kong films, has not been spared, in the past, Brother Xiaoma's majesty overshadowed other Hong Kong films, but this time "Lucky Stars" is obviously an iron plate that is difficult to kick, because of the image of the five lucky stars it creates, so that young Hong Kong audiences only know that there are five lucky stars, but they don't know that there was a little horse in the past. This year, it is worth mentioning that the work "The Saint of Gambling" was somewhat influenced by "Lucky Stars", and the box office was ......"

Yishu's film review obviously has the flavor of war, and the practice of secretly praising the high and stepping on the low makes the newspaper popular.

Xu Ziming has seen a lot of these, although the result is not divided, but what if it is divided, it is not the norm for a hundred schools of thought to contend.

Zeng Zhiwei pondered: ""Lucky Star Gaozhao" just finished painting yesterday, and the box office performance of Hong Kong Benfu has reached 32 million. When he said it, Zeng Zhiwei hissed, after all, whether the current box office of "The Saint of Gambling" can break 30 million is a mystery.

Chen Baixiang is the manager of the theater chain and proposed: "Mr. Xu, if we extend the screening time, then "The Saint of Gambling" will definitely be able to break 30 million." ”

Chen Baixiang's idea was obviously a stupid trick, and Xu Ziming immediately refused: "When the attendance rate is less than forty percent, I will paint it and replace it with Yongsheng's movie and Xu Ke's movie." "Xu Ziming will not do things at a loss in order to satisfy his good looks.

What's more, Xu Ke and Yongsheng's movies still need to be arranged, and Xu Ziming doesn't need to offend this favor because of a face.

Zeng Zhiwei patted his ass and said: "Before "Lucky Star Gaozhao", I was asked to play the role of Luo Han Guo, but I was dismissed, I think I am the person in charge of Mingjia's company, and the focus should be on Mingjia's performance. ”

Xu Ziming tasted Zeng Zhiwei's words very meaningfully, Zeng Zhiwei This is an invitation in disguise.

............

In Cheng Long's villa, a sports car was pulled out of the garage.

Cheng Long sat in the driver's seat and drove, but next to him was Qin Xianglin, a frustrated man in love who had just broken up with Lin Qingxia last year.

"Ah Long, the turnaround battle we fought with Jin Bao is beautiful enough, and the box office has broken the highest box office record set by Xu Ziming. Qin Xianglin said with a smile.

Cheng Long is a person who gets carried away easily, and laughed when he heard this: "The True Color of Heroes" is outdated, what little brother, everyone is about to forget." ”

Qin Xianglin asked, "When is the celebration banquet?"

Cheng Long looked at the route and responded: "I don't know about this yet, I'm going to Jiahe to ask Uncle Huai and Brother Sanmao." ”

Qin Xianglin and Cheng Long chatted without a word, and many times they were deliberately currying favor with Cheng Long.

Qin Xianglin has been very back-to-back this year, when he was fighting with Qin Han for Lin Qingxia, he failed to get his wish, and finally got engaged to Lin Qingxia, but the other party delayed for a few years, and in the end, Lin Qingxia directly broke off the marriage contract with him, which made Qin Xianglin somewhat faceless. He heard that Lin Qingxia had been dating Xu Ziming again recently, so he hated Xu Ziming in his heart.

Fortunately, "Lucky Stars" starring Qin Xianglin and Hong Jin Bao Chenglong broke the record at the box office, giving these protagonists enough face, at least Qin Xianglin himself has enough proud capital.

The two drove to Jiahe Company, Cheng Long took Qin Xianglin into Zou Wenhuai's office with a spring breeze, and saw that He Guanchang and Hong Jinbao were also there, and asked with a smile after sitting on the sofa: "Uncle Huai, when are you going to hold the celebration banquet of "Lucky Stars". ”

Fu Wenhuai pinched the cigar in his hand, looked at He Guanchang and said, "Ah Chang, when is Mingjia Film Company's "Gambling Saint" expected to be painted." ”

He Guanchang said: "The recent attendance rate of "The Saint of Gambling" seems to have dropped to about sixty percent, and it is estimated that it will be painted in a few days. ”

After hearing the news, the whole person was comfortable, full of smiles, and looked back at Cheng Longhong, Jinbao and others, and said: "When the painting of "The Saint of Gambling" announces the celebration banquet, we will hold the celebration banquet when we do.

Cheng Long was taken aback when he heard this, and asked: "Uncle Huai, our "Lucky Star Gaozhao" celebration banquet and "Gambling Saint" can't reach the same eight poles, why do we wait for the "Gambling Saint" to hold a celebration banquet?"

Cheng Long is simple-minded and doesn't have many hearts, so Hong Jinbao and Qin Xianglin naturally heard the taste.

Golden Harvest has been on the job for four years, and since the early eighties, it has lost to the box office champion of the movie, Xinyicheng, and Mingjia. Now it is rare to regain face during this year's Spring Festival, and even surpass "The Saint of Gambling" at the box office.

Hong Jinbao came to Golden Harvest today to inquire about the box office, and "Lucky Star Gaozhao" has had a box office of more than 30 million since its release. However, many cinemas in Golden Harvest said that some box office was one yuan, which made him both atmosphere and helpless, and the movies he worked so hard to make made made were pitiful in the end.

Hong Jinbao said with some worry: "Uncle Huai, if we arrange it like this, will there be some obvious implications aimed at Mingjia Film Company, and will it offend Xu Ziming." ”

Zou Wenhuai has worked hard in the film market for so many years, how could he completely offend the other party for the sake of raising his eyebrows, many things naturally have his consideration.

Zou Wenhuai spat out the smoke ring and said lightly: "The Hong Kong media is an outsider, and the fact is that I and the other party are both insiders, so this arrangement, I am indeed interested in creating public opinion to improve the status of Golden Harvest, but why not take this opportunity to let you people befriend him." ”

Hong Jinbao didn't know what to do, and Zou Wenhuai said: "Young people should always know the truth that a mountain is still a mountain high. In the Hong Kong film industry, the situation is changeable, there is no so-called always the first, we have to let the media know that Xu Ziming is not a monopolist in the Hong Kong film industry, on the contrary, Sanmao, your ability is not bad, this time also let the media know that you are no worse than Xu Ziming. ”

Wrinkled Wenhuai cheated Hong Jinbao at the box office, and now naturally let Hong Jinbao show off and divert his attention.

Hong Jinbao was extremely helpless, looking at Cheng Long with a confused look, he sighed in his heart, why do you always have to intrigue in business.
