Chapter Ninety-Six: It's Finally Here

"But some people say that Zongheng Pictures is going to become a big giant in the Xiangjiang film industry, catching up with Golden Harvest Pictures, I don't know what personal opinions you have on this?"

"Huh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe people who can say these words probably don't understand the strength of our Golden Harvest, our Golden Harvest Pictures can have today's status in the film industry in Xiangjiang, which has been obtained through our wonderful blockbuster movies one after another, which has been tested by time and facts. ”

"As for what you said about catching up with Golden Harvest Pictures, I am a filmmaker, and I will be happy if there is really a better company than Golden Harvest Pictures. However, if you want to do this, it is not something that can be achieved by one or two films, in the development of the film industry in Hong Kong, there have been countless companies that have shined, but today, why are there only a few left, this is also a question worth considering. ”

Eh, the meaning expressed in Zou Huaiwen's words must be understood by everyone, and he is clearly ridiculing Zongheng Pictures is a flash in the pan and will not last long.

"Mr. Zou, as far as I know, director Wu Yusen, the director of "The True Color of Heroes", was originally a contracted director of Golden Harvest, is it because Golden Harvest Pictures was jealous of his ability, so he chose to jump to Golden Harvest and join Zongheng Pictures to shoot such a blockbuster film, do you regret missing this talent? ”

"Journalist friends, let me first state one thing, the reason why we ended the cooperative relationship with director Wu Yusen is by no means what the outside world speculated. In fact, when John Woo directed Golden Harvest to work, he once filmed a movie "Heroes Without Tears", but there was an accident during the filming, because the crew used real guns and live ammunition for convenience, resulting in an actor being shot in the thigh. ”

...

"Mr. Shao Yifu, what do you think of the box office success of "The True Color of Heroes" in Zongheng Pictures, which is about to break the box office record in the history of Xiangjiang?"

"Hehe, of course it's a good thing, the movie shot by Ah Xuan's company can be welcomed by everyone, and I am very happy for him. And "The True Color of Heroes" was released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and it was able to break the box office record in Xiangjiang, which also has a credit to Shaw Brothers Cinemas. ”

"Then what do you think about the films shot by Zongheng Pictures, such as "Happy Ghost", "The Frog Prince" and "The True Color of Heroes", which have been sold in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but Shaw Brothers Company is the pride of the Hong Kong Film Industry, but now the movies shot are not good at the box office when they are released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas. ”

"There is no dynasty in the world that has been undefeated for thousands of years. It has been 60 years since I got into contact with film in 1924, and during this time, the Shaw Brothers have also been brilliant and have made great contributions to the film industry in Hong Kong, and that is enough. And Xuan Zai's film department is a blockbuster, and I am also very pleased. ”

...

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the movie "The True Color of Heroes" has been released in Shaw Brothers theaters for three weeks, and won 13 million box office in the second week, and in the third week, because there are only so many people in Xiangjiang, the potential of the film is exhausted, and the box office in the third week has dropped sharply, only about 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, despite this, within three weeks of its release, the cumulative box office of the film also reached more than 35 million, breaking the box office record of Xiangjiang and surpassing the box office record of 27 million set by "Best Partner" in Xinyicheng, which is about 8 million Hong Kong dollars higher than it.

When Zongheng Pictures announced the news, all the people in Xiangjiang were sensational, especially those who were engaged in the film industry. The film reached 35 million in three weeks after its release, so when the film is drawn, the box office of more than 40 million is not a sure thing.

40 million, you must know that the current box office record holder of Hong Kong "Best Partner" is only more than 26 million Hong Kong dollars, "The True Color of Heroes" will not only break its record, but also at least increase this record by 13 million Hong Kong dollars in the near future.

...

"Mr. Mo, Mr. Shao Yifu sent someone over, saying that many film companies from Taiwan, Omen and Southeast Asian countries have sent people to talk to him about the distribution of foreign cities, and he wants to ask your opinion. Fan Chengyi respectfully asked Mo Xuan.

"Oh? yes. You tell Uncle Six, just do what his old man wants. However, you tell Uncle Sixth that "The True Color of Heroes" will definitely be popular in the markets of Taiwan Island and Nanyang, and it is recommended that he give priority to contacting the film studios in these two places, and as for the sharing, let's do it according to the previous meaning. As for other places, don't worry. Mo Xuan thought about it and said to Fan Chengyi. According to the memories of the previous life, the release of "The True Color of Heroes" on Taiwan Island and Nanyang was quite popular, and even broke box office records in many places, but it also performed unsatisfactorily in some places, such as Japan.

"Okay, Mr. Mo, I'll go to Mr. Shao Yifu in person right away. Fan Chengyi nodded and agreed.

"By the way, you tell Uncle Six to pay attention to whether there are any Westerners who come to talk about the release of "The True Colors of Heroes", if not, please ask the sixth uncle to help, see if you can use the channel of Shaw Brothers to promote "The True Colors of Heroes" to those countries in Europe and the United States, I think the style of "The True Colors of Heroes" should be welcomed by Westerners, after all, Westerners have always liked to watch this type of film, and some of the plots in the film are comparable to the scenes in Hollywood blockbusters. Mo Xuan thought for a moment and continued. He also wants to see if Wu Yusen's "violent aesthetics" will be welcomed in those regions of Europe and the United States, and if so, then the movie "The True Color of Heroes" can be used as the vanguard of their Zongheng Pictures' distribution to the West, exploring the way for Zongheng Pictures.

"No problem. ”

"Well, it's fine. You go down first. Mo Xuan waved his hand and let Fan Chengyi leave the office.

"Ringing Ringing - Ringing Ringing" When Fan Chengyi had just left the office, the phone on Mo Xuan's desk rang for a while, and Mo Xuan picked up the phone easily.

"Hey. ”

"Mr. Mo, it's me. Liang Wensheng's voice came from the phone.

"Lao Liang, is there something that happened in that transaction. Hearing Liang Wensheng's voice, Mo Xuan asked with concern, he didn't want any accidents to happen to the ongoing transaction, he knew that the opportunity should not be missed, and it would not come again. And for that deal, he said he gambled everything.

"Mr. Mo, the situation is fine. I'm calling this time because you didn't tell me that when the Hang Seng Index falls below 700 points, I'll call you immediately. Liang Wensheng's words answered Mo Xuan's questions.

"Oh? yes. How much time is left until today's stock market closes. Mo Xuan hurriedly asked after hearing Liang Wensheng's words.

"There are still 2 hours to go. Liang Wensheng immediately answered Mo Xuan's question.

"Lao Liang, I'll rush over right now. If I haven't arrived in an hour, you can close the position. Without waiting for Liang Wensheng to react, Mo Xuan hung up the phone, picked up a pair draped on the chair and walked out of the office.
