Chapter 408: Killing Chickens

For the first film of Golden Harvest's comeback, major media in Hong Kong have reported in detail, comparing Golden Harvest was once the most famous film company in Hong Kong, and single-handedly won the popular kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong, Funny giant Xu Guanwen, sold the discourse film to the United States, representing the most advanced level of film production in Hong Kong, and also suppressed the former film industry to dominate the family and couldn't raise his head, no matter which kind of achievement is legendary, the result was defeated in the hands of DreamWorks, I don't know how many people regret it, and even a large number of fans remembered the old site of Golden Harvest to take a group photo, and now the company's boss Zou Wenhuai is back out of the mountain, Golden Harvest has come back to life, and the media is also expressing support.

It turned out to be an accident!

"Shu Mountain" pounced!

This blockbuster, which invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to produce, had a box office of less than 500,000 on the first day, and on the fourth day of its release, it should have been the time for the movie to ferment, but the box office was directly cut in half!

It's really going to grandma's house!

And DreamWorks' "Mr. Zombie 2" collected 2.32 million box office on the first day!

It's 5 times that of Golden Harvest!

Excluding the difference in theaters, the box office of "Mr. Zombie" is also much higher than that of "Shushan", this is the ending that everyone can't imagine no matter what, it is obviously Golden Harvest reloaded, but the result is that it collapsed before the battle, thinking of the previous propaganda slogan, I can't help but blush for Golden Harvest, especially the satellite companies that left DreamWorks and went to Golden Harvest, there is a feeling of being on a thief ship!

Yongjia Film Company

Since Chen Xunqi established the company, he has changed his office address three times, defected to Golden Harvest, worked on the studio of Golden Harvest, and moved to Lisheng Building to work when he defected to Princess Jin, and later Wang Zifan merged with Princess Jin, Chen Xunqi was naturally co-opted, but did not move out of Lisheng Building.

Although he moved several times, there were only five people in the company and him, including a miscellaneous worker, so it didn't cost much, but now Chen Xunqi is pulling out the cold in his heart, because the single-day box office of "Shushan" has fallen below 200,000!

This is 1983, not 1962, with a single-day box office of 200,000, which was also a bad movie in the past!

Jingle Bell ...... Jingle Bell ......

Chen Xunqi's train of thought was interrupted by the ringing of the phone, and motioned to the screenwriter Wang Jiawei to answer the phone, yes, it is the famous pit king in later generations, a college student, who was admitted to the first training course of TVB in 1981, and worked in TVB after graduation, and participated in the first drama series of "Hold to Treasure", and began to join Xinyicheng in 1982 to write film scripts, and the first film script to participate in the writing was "Caiyun Song" , but after a few months of no new works, and he likes to pay his salary in advance, so that his name is often exposed to the top management, and the result is obvious, Huang Baiming regarded him as a promiscuity, and with a stroke of the pen, Wang Jiawei was fired.

Leaving the new art city, Wang Jiawei defected to Chen Xunqi and became a member of Yongjia, because he left a bad record in the new art city, he usually worked very hard, and wrote several scripts in a row, among which "Hollow Da Shao" was taken by Chen Xunqi, which took three months to make a movie, and now the post-production is completed, waiting for the release.

"Brother Qi, Boss Zou called just now, let's send the film over!"

"I see!"

Chen Xunqi smiled bitterly, seeing the tragic situation of "Shushan", he was reluctant to hand over the film.

Wang Jiawei sighed: "This time, Jiahe's heel fell big, and it also affected us! According to the current situation, our "Hollow Youth" is also mostly on the street!"

Chen Xunqi couldn't help but regret his righteous behavior, when Jiahe was established, the old owner Zou Wenhuai found him, said a lot of sensational words, and recalled the life of Jiahe era together, at that time he was complaining that the prince cinema line did not arrange a popular schedule for Yongjia, and his mind was hot, so he promised to take Yongjia to jump to Jiahe, and now he fell into the pit, although he got the schedule, but he lost the market, just like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon!

After thinking a lot and sighing again, Chen Xunqi asked, "What date is the schedule set?"

Wang Jiawei replied: "January 15th!"

Chen Xunqi counted the days, looked up and wondered: ""Shushan" will be released for 15 days?"

"It's good to be able to drag on for half a month!" Wang Jiawei pouted, he now doubts whether Xu Ke is a spy sent out by Wang Zifan, filming "Best Partner" in DreamWorks can be a big hit, and it also breaks the box office record, making Princess Jin and DreamWorks famous, but as a result, he went to Golden Harvest to shoot "Shushan", and asked for three times the shooting funds of "Best Partner", but the box office was like this, no matter how you think about it!

Chen Xunqi said worriedly: "If it is released like this, it will definitely lose money, and our company will not even have the money to produce the film at that time!"

Wang Jiawei reminded: "Can you go to Boss Zou to apply for funds?"

Chen Xunqi said: "He is difficult to protect himself now, how can he have spare money to support us, but Boss Wang is very generous in this regard!"

"Then let's go back to DreamWorks!" Wang Jiawei took the opportunity to suggest, he also had a good impression of Wang Zifan, he was generous and willing to spend money, I heard that Cheng Long invested tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in that new movie, and only by working under such a generous boss can he give full play to his talents!

Wang Jiawei still doesn't know that he has been classified as a 'nuclear weapon' by Wang Zifan, secretly solving the opponent's big killer weapon.

Chen Xuqi wanted to go back, but he just announced last month that he would leave DreamWorks to join Jiahe, and now he wants to go back when he sees Jiahe's "Shushan" released on the street, so what has he become, isn't he slapping himself in the face! The road he chooses, he will come to the end with tears! The big deal is that at the moment of crisis, he announced that Yongjia had closed down, had nothing, and started all over again, with the connections he had worked hard over the years, he didn't have to worry about finding a way out.

The idea was certain, Chen Xunqi became cynical, and ordered: "Xiao Wang, send the film over with me in the afternoon, and then I will talk to Boss Zou about the specific process, you follow the film, don't have accidents!"

Wang Jiawei was surprised: "How can the film still be stolen?"

Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "This kind of thing has not happened before, some people can do anything in order to fight their opponents!"

"Okay, I know!" Wang Jiawei was surprised, he has been in the industry for a short time, and he has not heard much about these secrets, he has heard that the underworld likes to force people to write scripts, force stars to make movies, and even directly grab films, which is too lawless.

But why weren't there so many accidents at DreamWorks?

……

Wang Zifan is also analyzing the prospects of Golden Harvest, different from Chen Xunqi's entanglement in the immediate interests, because the local box office is of little significance to him, overseas dividends are the key, this time Golden Harvest played the card is not only the theater chain, but also the overseas distribution ability, the former Golden Harvest can distribute the film to the United States, this is where Zou Wenhuai really depends, as long as there is a big sell, any problem is solved!

"If the local box office can't recover the cost, it doesn't mean that overseas will hit the streets. At the regular meeting, Wang Zifan mentioned to Shi Nansheng that the distribution department should pay attention to the distribution of "Shushan".

Shi Nansheng thought about it seriously and analyzed: "Mr. Wang, I don't think Mr. Zou will be in such a hurry to sell the film copyright of "Shushan" overseas!"

Mecca asked, "Why?"

Wang Zifan took a sip of tea quietly, he also thought about it this way, but now Jiahe is not just Zou Wenhuai alone, it is indeed a good idea to launch the overseas release of "Shushan", but Pan Disheng and the Lin brothers behind Jiahe may not agree!

"The news of the serious loss of "Shushan" has spread all over the world through various channels in Hong Kong, I don't think any filmmaker will spend a lot of money to buy such a movie, and the current situation of Golden Harvest does not allow Zou Wenhuai to lower the price!" Shi Nansheng analyzed the current situation of Golden Harvest, and explained: "In fact, in this case, it is best to extend the release time, or even postpone it for several years, and find a suitable opportunity to make another sale!" I have a few films in my hand now, all of which are failing at the box office, but several of the participating stars have great potential, and when these leading actors become more famous, the filmmakers will take the initiative to increase the distribution price!"

"It is not excluded that the behind-the-scenes financier of Golden Harvest forced Zou Wenhuai to decide, although Hong Kong people don't like it, but stars such as Hong Jinbao, Yuan Di, Lin Qingxia, Zheng Shaoqiu still have a certain market in Yueben! And "Shushan" is still dressed in the coat of a sci-fi blockbuster!" Wang Zifan thought about it himself, but he still couldn't find the details of the overseas box office of "Shushan", and he had read it on the Internet, but he didn't take it to heart.

Shi Nansheng said confidently: "We have an advantage in this market!"

Zeng Zhiwei said with a smile: "Yes, "Mr. Zombie", which we released last year, sold 700 million yen at the box office!"

"Instead of worrying about "Shushan", I don't know how to teach those anti-bone boys a lesson!" Mecca touched his bald head, and his sharp eyes released a chill, this time he only targeted Huang Baiming, as well as Chen Xunqi and Li Siyuan, the old generals of Jiahe, DreamWorks is not a place where you can come and go whenever you want, only severe punishment can play a role in killing chickens and monkeys for Hong Jinbao, Cheng Long, and Lin Zhengying!

"What's the movement of Jiahe?" Wang Zifan had no choice but to change the topic, he was really not very interested in the ban, so far, he has only banned a few people from Erhuang and Liu Luanxiong, and everyone understands the reason!

Xiao Ruoyuan groaned: "The scale of Jiahe Cinema is still small, and the next film to be released should be Yongjia's "Hollow Youth"!"

"Hollow Big Young"?

I haven't heard of it, it's a bit like Wang Fatzi's style movie! Wang Zifan is not interested when he hears the name, what else do you pay attention to this kind of movie that is destined to hit the street, the box office in the previous life was 10 million, and it would be good to have 7 million in the current Jiahe Cinema Line!

Wang Zifan asked, "What's going on over there Li Siyuan?"

This person is also the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards jury, and the most important person who defected to Golden Harvest!

Xiao Ruoyuan said: "This person is an old Jianghu, as soon as he sees that Jiahe is not good, he rarely shows up, and I heard that even the new film plan has been temporarily suspended!"

Wang Zifan laughed and said: "We don't have to recruit people like this in the future, we can't be relied on at critical moments!"

Xiao Ruoyuan reminded: "But his vision is still okay!"

Wang Zifan's forehead, it is true, Cheng Long is Li Siyuan's popularity!

Xiao Ruoyuan paused and added: "The actor of his new film plans to use our company's artist Li Lianjie!"

Wang Zifan was stunned for a moment, and there was a feeling of ridicule, did this old boy really think that he was a good man and a woman, betrayed DreamWorks, and dared to come back to dig a corner!

As an executive of the DreamWorks Artist Department, Zeng Zhiwei twisted his body and couldn't sit still, Li Lianjie is a person that Wang Zifan values very much, if Li Siyuan is allowed to poach people, he will not be able to escape responsibility, and immediately said: "I will arrange a notice for Li Lianjie immediately!"

Although Li Lianjie is a newcomer from the mainland, he is very popular in the Hong Kong film industry, a "Shaolin Temple" is popular all over the world, the Hong Kong box office has exceeded more than 20 million, and the box office is as high as 3.6 billion, ranking first in the discourse list, and surpassing Li Xiaolong's "Enter the Dragon", this ranking will remain for decades, and even Cheng Long cannot surpass it, that is, Lao Mouzi's "Hero" and Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" can be pressed.

Thinking of "Red Cliff", Wang Zifan suddenly had an impulse to shoot it in advance, maybe Hong Kong people don't like to watch it, but it is absolutely popular in this book! And the Three Kingdoms is not a problem to be released in the mainland, hmm...... You have to register a new company to avoid jealousy from Taiwan!

Seeing that the big boss was stunned at the critical moment, everyone glanced at each other, thinking about their hearts with different faces.

Wang Zifan wrote down a few lines in his notebook, looked up and said: "Ajie, I already have an arrangement, Li Siyuan sent someone to inform you, Siyuan Pictures will be suspended for three years for rectification!"

It's going to kill the chicken!

Zeng Zhiwei humorously said: "Suspend business for rectification?

Xu Ke's face was not good-looking, he was very close to Huang Baiming some time ago, and he was worried that this would be used on his head one day!

Wang Zifan said: "What's going on over there in Anle Cinema?"

Xiao Ruoyuan said with a smile: "After my observation during this time, Mr. Jiang of Anle Cinema Line is not big, he wants to learn from Mr. Lei, and his mind is on Xinyicheng, and he has little contact with other film companies!"

Wang Zifan smiled faintly: "If he wants to be the second Lei Juekun, he has to have that capital!"

When DreamWorks' first film "Modern Bodyguard" was completed, Wang Zifan was the first person he looked for was Anle Cinema, but unfortunately at that time, Jiang Zuyi, who was Jiang Zhiwen and Jiang Zhiqiang's father, was dedicated to showing Western films and refused to release "Modern Bodyguard", as a result, he took away a large number of waste films and edited out "Tragic War", Jiang Zuyi also came to the door to make trouble, and the two sides almost went to court, and he still wanted to be Lei Juekun's second in this ability!

Ten years ago, Jiang Zuyi was still the deputy manager of a Broadway cinema in Mong Kok! Although there are theater resources, they are congenitally insufficient, and learning tigers cannot become anti-dogs, and Huang Baiming follows the nonsense surnamed Jiang, and sooner or later he will come back to beg him! Wang Zifan sneered, a few years ago, he cooperated with Anle Cinemas because they had Western distribution channels, and now DreamWorks has independently opened up a complete overseas distribution, and the resources of Anle Cinemas have long been out of his eyes!
