Chapter 407: Jiahe's Problem
On December 31, the last day of 1982, Wang Zifan spent in the cinema, accompanied Li Jiaxin's family to watch the funny movie "Mr. Zombie 2" starring Lin Zhengying, and unconsciously New Year's Day came, Hong Kong entered 1983, which means that little Lori is one year older, in just a few days, Li Jiaxin is like a completely changed person, like to stick to Wang Zifan, and the flattery revealed from the bones, there is a little bit of Hong Kong's most beautiful Hong Kong sister!
The movie released on the same day as "Mr. Zombie" is also "Shu Mountain", the film "Shu Mountain" can be described as a disaster, the release time has been postponed for a whole year, as the original Golden Harvest movie, the investment is also very huge, but on the eve of the release, just in time for the great changes in Golden Harvest, Wang Zifan's representative of DreamWorks rose strongly, Zou Wenhuai was forced to a dead end by debt, and in desperation announced the disintegration of Golden Harvest, and carried the "Shu Mountain" film mysteriously disappeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
took over Jiahe, but Wang Zifan did not order an investigation into the whereabouts of "Shushan", resulting in today's situation of the two tigers fighting.
Here, with the financial support of Pan's and Lin's, Zou Wenhuai will reunite Liang Feng and Cai Yongchang in DreamWorks and re-carry the banner of Jiahe, but the backbone of the company can be reunited, but the cinema line will not come back, and Pan Disheng's biggest condition for supporting Zou Wenhuai is to have a cinema line, and in the end, Zou Wenhuai was forced to be cheeky, relying on his past connections, he barely pulled up a small cinema line, and the scale was only a quarter of the size of the prince cinema.
Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, "Shushan" and "New Mr. Zombie" were released on the same day, Zou Wenhuai was particularly happy, Jiahe was suppressed by DreamWorks for so long, and today finally played a hard game, "Shushan" is a movie of the old Jiahe era, and the old Jiahe was acquired by DreamWorks, it stands to reason that Wang Zifan can completely monopolize the copyright of "Shushan"! Every time he thinks of this, Zou Wenhuai is happy, and Wang Zifan also has a sloppy time!
"Ah Huai, good news! Taiwan's attendance statistics are out!" Liang Fengxing rushed in, undisguised his joy, anyone who saw it knew that he was getting good news!
Zou Wenhuai said with concern: "How is the attendance?"
Liang Feng said with a smile: "Taiwan's friends are still very good, knowing that this is an important battle for our opening, and we will release it together with several theater companies, and the preliminary statistics of the attendance rate are sixty percent, hehe, this time one-third of the theaters in Taiwan are showing "Shushan", which is expected to win the annual box office champion!"
"With such a big investment, it is appropriate to win the annual box office champion!" Zou Wenhuai is not surprised, there are too many big-name stars in "Shushan", and Xu Ke is a gold medal director of DreamWorks, and DreamWorks resources are at his disposal, and it is difficult to think about it!
Liang Feng smiled lightly: "With the Taiwan box office as a guarantee, we will win this time!"
"Don't be careless!" Although he said this, Zou Wenhuai finally showed a little smile on his face, when the film was first released, he called several movie theaters to inquire about the situation, and the result was the same, the movie tickets were sold out, and none were left......
Liang Feng looked at the time and said suspiciously: "Strange, according to the time calculation, the third screening has ended, why can't Yongchang come over, will there be an accident?"
"Maybe there's something delayed!"
In fact, Zou Wenhuai was also surprised, he confessed at the meeting yesterday that the first screening of "Shushan" was over, and he collected information about Taiwan and Hong Kong for the first time.
Liang Feng reminded: "Do you want to call to urge, "Shushan" is a martial arts film, and it is understandable that it is a blockbuster in Taiwan, I am worried that Hong Kong fans will not buy it." ”
Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "The fact that the movie tickets are sold out already shows the situation, is there still someone who can't refund the ticket halfway! Think about it again, last year, DreamWorks produced a "If the Wine Sells Nothing", which still sold 20 million at the box office, and Xu Ke's "Dao Ma Dan" recently directed, and the reputation is also good!"
If Zou Wenhuai knew why Wang Zifan didn't want "Shushan", it is estimated that he would not be able to laugh, half an hour later, the embarrassed Cai Yongchang appeared in the office, in the theater, he was besieged by many loyal fans of Golden Harvest, everyone was buying tickets for Golden Harvest's reputation, but what he saw was such a garbage film, I couldn't understand it, I didn't say it, and I didn't have any passion at all!
Knowing that the new film hit the street, Zou Wenhuai and Liang Feng were dumbfounded, but also a little surprised, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and the whole of Hong Kong was watching their jokes.
"Continue to be released?" Cai Yongchang silently put forward his opinion, what about bad movies, unless the attendance rate falls by fifty percent, the theater chain will consider painting, and when it is nervous, it will fall by fifty percent, and it will continue to be released, because the attendance rate of four or five percent, the cinema can also make money.
Zou Wenhuai slowly calmed down, Cai Yongchang thought about it reasonably, Golden Harvest will now paint "Shu Mountain", and it will soon become a laughing stock in the film industry, a while ago to promote "Shu Mountain", Golden Harvest deliberately satirized DreamWorks 'has eyes but no beads', and now it is the other way around, slapping himself in the face!
Liang Feng gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "This must be a conspiracy!"
Zou Wenhuai's face turned red, he was still preaching Liang Feng unashamedly just now.
As if grasping the last straw, Zou Wenhuai hurriedly asked: "Who of you knows that Prince Cinema will release "New Mr. Zombie"?
Liang Feng shook his head, although "Mr. New Zombie" was also screened in Taiwan, when he kept staring at the progress of "Shushan", he didn't know much about "New Mr. Zombie", but with the word-of-mouth accumulated in the first part, the box office must not be much worse.
Cai Yongchang hesitated: "I just made a brief inquiry, this film has a good reputation, and many fans want to watch it again, needless to say, this time we Golden Harvest lost again!"
Knowing that some fans quit halfway, Zou Wenhuai knew that Golden Harvest was going to lose, but he didn't want to lose too ugly, Golden Harvest had been completely suppressed by DreamWorks, and he didn't want outsiders to see Golden Harvest as a clown, jumping up and down, and making jokes.
"I hope Taiwan can win some face for us!"
Liang Feng was full of confidence and comforted: "Don't worry about Taiwan, I haven't received the news of fans leaving, in order to open up the Taiwan market, DreamWorks specially produced a literary film "The Wrong Car", which was extremely poor at the overseas box office, but sold tens of millions of box office in Taiwan, and "Shushan" is not far behind. ”
No wonder he doesn't want film! Zou Wenhuai sighed secretly, he once again proved that Wang Zifan's vision is very reluctant, and there is no way, he didn't take advantage of it, and he made a fuss!
Cai Yongchang said abruptly: "In the final analysis, we still have no money in Jiahe, if we had encountered such a situation a few years ago, we would have invested in a big cast and killed the prestige of DreamWorks!"
Liang Feng echoed: "Yes, our Golden Harvest funds are used to produce "Shushan", and the filming will be supported by the profits of Fengyue films, I really hope that the United States can return some profits, even if it loses some, it is better than the current situation, the more time passes, the situation will only get worse and worse, and sooner or later we will be forced to death by DreamWorks again!"
"I also regret it, the timing of investing in Hollywood blockbusters was really wrong!" Zou Wenhuai's face was complicated, if it wasn't for his great joy, Golden Harvest would not have fallen.
