No one doubts that "Happy Ghost" has become a big hit, whether it is the reputation of moviegoers or the box office data, it is a fact that is confirmed.

"Look at Happy Ghosts, Have a Happy Summer Vacation"

"A Different Ghost, Dominating the Hong Kong Summer File"

"Happy Ghost's box office has been rising for three consecutive days, with a cumulative box office of more than 3 million"

The media continues to track and report the latest news of "Happy Ghost" almost every day, which further makes the popularity of this movie continue to rise.

Because of the big sale of "Happy Ghost", the Golden Princess Cinema Line continued to increase its number of shows, and the number of screenings arranged for "Happy Ghost" throughout the day rose to 93 in 21 cinemas throughout the day, which can be said to account for 80% of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, and the scale of this film schedule is better than the original release period of "Best Partner"!

The reason for this arrangement, in addition to giving Lin Qi face, is that the more important reason is that the number of screenings is arranged for "Happy Ghost", which has the highest attendance rate, and contributes even more profits than Princess Jin's own films.

Heroes are judged purely by box office results, and more resources should be allocated to "Happy Ghost".

During the release of "Happy Ghost", Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai's face was a little unsightly, and he said to his old buddy He Guanchang: "Ah Chang, what do you mean by this Lin Qi, there are more profitable games that don't invest, but instead rob us of a small business of mosquito meat?"

He Guanchang said with a wry smile: "I have to admire Boss Lin for this, he is very good at playing games and movies, which is completely something we don't understand." ”

"Such a good movie, cheap Lei Juekun!" Zou Wenhuai said a little grumblingly, "If Lin Qi comes to us to cooperate, will we refuse?"

Zou Wenhuai believes that Golden Harvest's strength in film will not be weaker than that of Xinyicheng, both in terms of talent and the scale of the company, which are far above Xinyicheng and Golden Princess. It's a pity that the movie is not a big deal, but a more important movie idea.

But what Zou Wenhuai didn't expect was that Lin Qi didn't look for Golden Harvest to cooperate, because the original core creative staff of this movie was from Xinyicheng. Jiahe does not have Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen, Lin Qi is afraid that the same script will be filmed by different teams, and the taste of the shooting will not be right. In order to ensure the probability of success of film production, it is more secure to use the core creators in history. And the "Happy Ghost" series of movies, many attempts to change female roles, but it has not had any impact on the style of the movie, you can know that this series of stories, just find a group of girls who are not too low-looking, you can be competent.

If the script that Lin Qi took out was the script of Golden Harvest in the future, he might come directly to Golden Harvest to cooperate.

"Mom, look, this is the movie I acted. On the third day of the movie's release, Zhou Huimin quietly asked the company for a movie ticket and accompanied Zhou's mother to watch the movie together, "How is it?"

"Rustic, compared to a few girls, like an ugly duckling. Mother Zhou said this deliberately.

Zhou Huimin's face changed from excited to crying, because she knew that because the family had been financially bad since she was a child, her mother did not want her to engage in an unstable career. Whether it is painting or playing the piano, she has shown good talent and made money, but her mother did not agree to her debut now to make money, but let her study hard and become a white-collar worker in the future, rather than an actor, painter or composer.

In fact, the current Zhou Huimin is indeed not very beautiful, after all, she is still grown, but in a few years, as she loses weight, she will have the posture of a jade girl in charge if she dresses up a little. This is the reason for the eighteen changes in women's colleges, many girls don't see how beautiful they are when they are young, but when they grow up, they find a gorgeous transformation.

"Yes, yes, yes! Someone's daughter is always better. Zhou Huimin couldn't help but feel a little emotional about her mother's attitude.

However, compared with the two newly met good sisters Weng Meiling and Maggie Cheung who performed on the same stage in the movie, Zhou Huimin is indeed a little inferior.

Weng Meiling, who is in her early twenties, is already a very temperamental beauty, and she is also very good at acting, although the director and crew appreciate her very much.

Another Maggie Cheung, although she is about the same age as Weng Meiling, Maggie Cheung is now very photogenic, and with the credit of the makeup artist, although Lin Xiaohua is a supporting role, she quickly became a public lover.

But Zhou Huimin's dress in the movie is very old-fashioned, and she belongs to the kind of inconspicuous girl who wears black-framed glasses, looks ordinary, and has average academic performance in school.

"Mom, what if...... If the movie is a big hit, you can get box office dividends and get hundreds of thousands, can you specialize in being an artist?" Zhou Huimin asked tentatively, how can school study be so comfortable outside.

"Don't even think about it! If you don't get admitted to college, don't even think about it!" Zhou's mother looked at her daughter's thoughts, where she didn't know, she wanted to spend more time on career development than on her studies. Of course...... It's a no-no!

Acting in a movie, in Zhou's mother's opinion, is just eating youth, and now I am lucky to be praised by the company, but if I am not popular in the future, I will be kicked away at any time, and the end will be very miserable.

Therefore, Zhou's mother saw that her daughter could make money by participating in the performance, and allowed her daughter to participate, but the premise was that it did not affect her studies. Filming and commercial performances are only allowed on holidays. This kind of harsh demand will definitely be categorically rejected by ordinary entertainment companies.

However, the newly started film and television entertainment company agreed, saying that the "Happy Ghost" series would only be filmed during the school holidays, and the girls who participated in the entire series did not need to be too tired, and they could make about one or two movies a year. As for other performances, they are also arranged on weekends or festivals.

This kind of considerate arrangement is that Zhou's mother is very satisfied with the newly started film and television entertainment company.

……

A new start-up film and television entertainment company.

Lin Qi held a row of newspapers in his hand and smiled at Huang Xizhao: "The Hong Kong film market is still good now!"

"Yes!" Huang Xizhao said with a smile, "Even the kid Mai Dangxiong opened his own film company and made a big box office of 10 million after filming "Pretty Girl", not to mention a big production like ours. ”

In fact, Huang Xizhao proposed to buy McDonald Hung Film Company, and Lin Qi also asked him to ask for the price. As a result, Mai Dangxiong offered 50 million yuan, but Huang Xizhao was so angry that he never mentioned acquiring Mai Dangxiong Pictures again.

Mai Dangxiong was just a nobody, at the beginning of Li's TV station was no Chinese program, the British boss Li's voice was completely ghost team, by TVB relying on the Chinese channel to occupy the Hong Kong market, Li's senior management decided to start a free Chinese TV channel. The entire Li's Chinese channel, news, variety shows and TV dramas are all teams gradually formed by Huang Xizhao to tap talents from the bottom. It can be said that Huang Xizhao is the godfather of Li's TV Chinese program, and it is not an exaggeration.

Mai Dangxiong excavated in Huang Xizhao, became a nobody in just a few years, and became a ghost talent in TV dramas. If it weren't for the turmoil caused by Leigh's change of TV shareholders, McDonald Hung might not have gone out to open a film company.

Of course, after Mai Dangxiong established a film company, he only made his first film "Pretty Girl" and won a box office of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and his company became a new dark horse in the Hong Kong film industry!

After McDonald's film company became an instant hit, it was preparing to show its ambitions, so it was easy to be recruited by the old boss of the past, and the offer was 50 million yuan, but it was a polite refusal to buy. Because, after the success of Mai Dangxiong's cross-border investment in movies, he will no longer be short of money, as long as he hooks his fingers, there will be bigwigs with checks to invest, wouldn't it be nice to be his own boss?

Mai Dangxiong is indeed talented, and Lin Qi didn't feel deeply in the early movies, but the later "Lame Hao" and "Black Gold" are indeed rare masterpieces, unlike Hong Kong films, but like watching Hollywood blockbusters. But this person's movie doesn't seem to have any adaptation value, and it is not in harmony with the development of the new entrepreneurship department, so Lin Qi will not think that there is any point in acquiring McDonald's Hung Film Company at a sky-high price. The rate of return is very low, and it will take more than a decade to hope that the cost will be recouped, and it will not keep up with inflation. The movie is basically an allusion to social reality, which is very controversial at the same time, but has no value in game adaptation and peripheral product development.

This kind of movie is just an investment in a movie, and it is impossible for Lin Qi to spend a huge amount of money to buy it.
