After committing suicide in "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", it took nearly half a month to cut the film, record it, and then test screen, and Wang Jin wanted to make a finale banquet to treat the crew well, but he didn't have a chance. Zhong Chuhong, Huan Xue and other movie stars who play well can understand it, but Guan Zhilin can't get through anything on the phone.

Now that the finale banquet is being held, it is not bad that the crew is not in order, and the more important thing is that Run Run Shaw actually changed his mind temporarily, and he wanted to release "Saucer Immortal" first, and the schedule in October itself was not good, but it was squeezed to the middle of the year.

The banquet is all about it, and I don't know how to do it, and choosing a place is also carefully calculated, no matter how good Rao is tempered Wang Jin is is made, there is nothing good to say, and there is no smile at the whole banquet.

According to the plan, in addition to the crew members, Wang Jin originally wanted to invite Wang Jin to invite the media and newspapers to invite the finale banquet, after all, this kind of publicity is much better than making a big move in a muffled voice, but Xu Ziming has some scruples, if he wants the media to come, he will not come, if he wants to come, he can't let people from the newspaper and media come.

How to say that the movie was also made at Xu Ziming's expense, and he had to count on Xu Ziming's help to make movies in the future, Wang Jin didn't want to think about it, so he directly agreed to Xu Ziming's request.

A group of people were all drinking, Xie Xian was also idle, seeing that the movie starring him was about to be released, but as a result, Shaw Brothers was postponed, and it was uncomfortable to think about it, Wang Yu, Chen Guantai is not. Zhong Chuhong and Huan Xue are also a little uncomfortable, but there are not too many scenes, as long as they have a good image through this movie, it will be good. The two beauties are pleasantly picking up dishes and clinking glasses with wine.

Seeing that Wang Fatzi had a gray face, sitting alone in his position drinking stuffy wine, and couldn't show a good face to the people who came to toast, Xu Ziming stepped forward with a smile and comforted: "I can't stand the little difficulties, you are still not the Wang Jin I know." ”

Wang Jin, who was already very disappointed, said angrily when he saw Xu Ziming's smile: "You are still laughing, there is such a big cave in the Shaw Brothers, I knew that I should go to Princess Jin to be screened." ”

Wang Jin ignored Xu Ziming, Xu Ziming looked very open, and persuaded with good words: "Princess Jin is not as good as you think, except for the theater that will be provided for you, the others are not as much as what Shaw Brothers can give you." Although the release of "A Thousand Kings and a Thousand Tyrants" has been postponed, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the Shaw Brothers will pay attention to it sooner or later. “

"What's more, this movie is fully invested by me, even if I lose it, it will be my money, what are you worried about. ”

Xu Ziming's words talked about Wang Jin's heart, and Wang Jin also turned sadness into joy, "Yes, no matter what you say, I also have some money, but you, even if you lose, it will only be an itch for you, and your wealthy Xu family will still care about this money." Wang Jin woke up a little and began to laugh at his previous worries.

"Okay, today's finale banquet, everyone is waiting for you, the director, to speak. After taking a sip of wine, Xu Ziming walked into the crowd.

Shaw Brothers thought that with the lesson that the plot of "Playing the Wild" was too simple last time, they hoped to deal with Golden Harvest's new film "Money is Strange" by releasing a Xianxia movie with a unique plot in advance, but they didn't expect that less than two weeks after its release, the box office was dumped by 2 million.

The plot of "Saucer Immortal" is abrupt and weird, and at first, many people went to the theater with curiosity to find out what was going on, looking for something fresh. However, the rough special effects and unclear plot have made the reputation continue to decline, and many citizens actually asked for a refund halfway, while many media focused their attention on Golden Harvest.

Xinyicheng's new film "Funny Times" has also been officially announced, but considering Wu Yusheng's identity, Wu Yusheng is missing from the finale banquet, and reporters from some newspapers and periodicals have come to write more to make money.

While the people of Golden Harvest were happy that "Money Makes Trouble" exceeded 4 million, Shaw Brothers was in a low ebb.

Shao Yifu, who was sitting in the office of the radio station, glared coldly, and Fang Yihua, a confidante who had been with him for many years, was also a little chilled. However, Shao Yifu just wanted to express his dissatisfaction with himself in this way, and agreed to release "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", but Fang Yihua was worried that Wang Jin's first film was not stable enough, so he postponed it.

She herself didn't expect the optimistic "Saucer Immortal" to be so sluggish at the box office, and it seems that the tastes of Hong Kong audiences are becoming more and more eccentric.

"Otherwise, after today's draw, how about replacing it with "Modern Dirty", Fang Yihua has watched the test screening of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", and still values "Modern Dirtyman" more in his heart.

"Modern Dirtyman" is an important work that witnesses the modernization of Hong Kong films, and it is the Shaw Brothers who found Lin Zixiang to star in the first screen and Taiwanese female singer Qi Yu to make a cameo. The story tells the story of the young Pei Xiaofen (played by Lin Zixiang) and his friend Hamburg (played by Madelo) who are favored by the advertising company Shilena (played by Jing Li) and invited to shoot an advertisement, but they unexpectedly offend the villain "Steel Tooth". The whole movie is full of jokes, and the director uses advertising techniques to shoot singing and dancing scenes, which is refreshing.

However, in Shao Yifu's comparison of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", he still can't reach the opportunity to fight back against Jiahe, what he wants is to overpower Jiahe.

"No", Run Run Shaw waved his hand and said very firmly: "This time I have to be on "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", I thought it was good during the test screening, but you didn't listen. ”

Fang Yihua saw that Shao Yifu was so resolute, and he could only reluctantly agree.

"Saucer Immortal" was released for two weeks, and it was quickly painted by Shaw Brothers, and the box office was not very high, only over 2 million, which was nearly 3 million worse than "Money Makes Strange" released in the same period. After two weeks of release of Golden Harvest's "Money is Fast", the audience's enthusiasm has also been halved, but Golden Harvest's cinemas are not comparable to the sixteen cinemas of Shaw Brothers.

"Ah Huai, Shaw Brothers' "Saucer Immortal" lost to us again this time, and I think their other films are not much better", in the office of Golden Harvest Film Company, He Guanchang was very proud of the big sale of "Money is Strange".

"That's not necessarily", Liang Feng interjected, "I heard that the next movie of Shaw Brothers is not made by Shaw Brothers."

As soon as Liang Feng said this, not only He Guanchang was a little wooden, but Zou Wenhuai on the side was also confused, "How is this possible, Shaw Brothers Cinemas has always been self-produced and self-sold, and it is impossible to accept films from other film and television companies." Zou Wenhuai snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, very puzzled.

Of course, Shaw Brothers will not release films from other film companies, but this film was filmed by Wang Jin of TVB, who raised funds everywhere. Liang Feng explained

"I can understand this, after all, it's a wireless person, not a film company. Zou Wenhuai was immediately relieved.

"Is Wang Jin a very powerful director?" He Guanchang looked at Liang Feng strangely, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"It's not famous, but listening to Shaw Brothers insiders, Shaw Yifu is very optimistic about this movie. Liang Feng said.

An unfamous director, in He Guanchang's opinion, no matter how good the filming is, how good can it be, in terms of the current box office, it is very good to have four million, how good does a newcomer want.

"The movie "Famous Sword" brings together today's big-name stars, Zheng Shaoqiu is now almost popular all over Hong Kong, with him starring in this movie, I have to hit the street again when I watch Shaw Brothers movies. He Guanchang said disdainfully.

"Okay, what you said is reasonable", Liang Feng didn't want to fight anymore, so he changed the topic, "There is also a movie to be released in Xinyi City recently." ”

"You're talking about "Funny Times", without Liang Feng's reminder, Zou Wenhuai also heard the rumors.

"Hmm", Liang Feng's words were a little low, and he said worriedly: "Many newspapers have a good evaluation of this movie, and it is estimated that we are the fierce rival of the film." “

He Guanchang did not argue, and he knew about these media comments.

"Actually, I'm worried about that. However, we also watched the test screening, Zheng Shaoqiu's handsome image is a classic image, and Li Ranran's appearance and his role as Chu Liuxiang in it can be called classics in costume martial arts films, just by virtue of this, the audience's vision is definitely not much worse. What's more, now that martial arts dramas are the mainstream, if they don't deviate from this, "Famous Sword" will definitely have a good box office. "He has been making movies for decades, and Zou Wenhuai is still very confident in his ability.

Liang Feng thought so, and He Guanchang also knew a little about it. Although Tan Jiaming is also directing the movie "Famous Sword" for the first time, the quality of the whole film is very good, comparable to "Funny Times" in Xinyicheng.

After all, Zou Wenhuai knows the market of the shopping mall, and when the two were about to leave after chatting, they hurriedly instructed the two to increase the number of theatrical films of "Famous Sword", and release some of their own films to the theaters of other film companies, and hurry up to draw the movie that is being screened and take over "Famous Sword".

Everyone understands this truth, of course Liang Feng has no objection, but He Guanchang feels a little inappropriate.

"Ah Huai, if you do it like this, will it offend other film companies. He Guanchang just came out, and quickly turned back and asked.

"There's nothing to worry about, we also canceled the package system, I sent someone to investigate the situation, the attendance rate of several theaters is not high, but they have earned it in the past few days, and they will definitely not lose. Zou Wenhuai's words dispelled He Guanchang's doubts.

What is expected of them is how the box office performance of the theater will go, which is what Zou Wenhuai considers.
