"Well...... this"

Guan Zhicheng groaned slightly, glanced at his silent father again, and then continued: "In principle, as long as your script and contract can pass our review, we can give you a ...... for each play."

“…… Hmm......" Guan Zhicheng thought about it sideways, and gestured with a 'V' and said, "We can give you 20,000 yuan for each play in advance." ”

"Of course, we also have two requirements, that is, these films, you can only distribute them to our theaters in Xiangjiang, and you can provide us with no less than four Cantonese films every year. ”

“……”

Guan Zhicheng's conditions were unexpectedly good, and he was released from the theater with funds and theaters, which almost reduced Yang Qiu's difficulties in filming by one-third in an instant.

But at the same time, it also gave Yang Qiu a lot of pressure.

The first condition is easy to say, but the second is a little difficult to produce four Cantonese films a year......

After all, he alone is not sure to come up with so many Cantonese scripts that suit the situation.

Yang Qiu looked left and right with some embarrassment, wanting Wang Tianlin and Li Hanxiang to come up with ideas.

But it didn't come to pass, and only saw two pairs of wolf-like eyes.

Laughed.

It's right to think about it, Wang Tianlin is a person who has filmed eight dramas in half a year, and he is afraid of the small challenges of four films this year.

As for Li Hanxiang, hehe, this guy wants to be a director and wants to go crazy, and he probably still talks about the more films, the better.

It's time to get ready to recruit!

Yang Qiu closed his eyes and thought for a second, then he was ruthless and said freely: "Boss Xiaoguan's cooperation request is very reasonable, and we agreed." ”

"Oh, haha, that's really gratifying, Yang ......"

"But ......" Although he saw Guan Zhicheng smiling happily, Yang Qiu thought for a while and interrupted and asked, "However, I also have a question I want to ask Boss Xiaoguan." ”

"Uh...... What's the problem?" Guan Zhicheng asked in amazement.

Yang Qiu looked at the two big and small Guan bosses in front of him and said, "Boss Xiaoguan, does your theater only accept Cantonese films?"

“……”

What does this mean? Guan Zhicheng is a little inexplicable, what else can they receive if they don't accept Cantonese films in a Cantonese film theater......

After organizing the language a little, Guan Zhicheng explained: "Boss Yang, Jin Guo is a Cantonese film theater......"

"As a Cantonese film theater, Jin Guo has actually ranked other films before. After watching the movie for a long time, Guan Jiabai, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted Guan Zhicheng's words and said leisurely: "For example, Chaoyu films and Xiamen films have been screened in Jinguo, and the results are not bad." ”

When Guan Jiabai said this, he glanced at Yang Qiu up and down, and asked, "What's the matter, Boss Yang has another dialect film to be on?"

"Oh no. Yang Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I actually want to ask if Chinese films can be released in your theater." ”

Chinese film on the theater?

The Guan family father and son are a little dumbfounded, Chinese films in Xiangjiang have always found two big theaters to co-screen, and have never considered the theater line.

After all, the population base of Xiangjiang watching Chinese films is there, and during your seven-day screening period, the audience can still take turns. But if you have more places to show it, you won't be able to support the theater if you disperse the flow of visitors.

Do you think those Chinese film companies haven't found a third and fourth theater to co-screen together?

The point is, it doesn't work.

Now, the fledgling little guy next to him is actually thinking about Chinese film in theaters......

Is this the brain burned out by the good news?

Guan Jiabai didn't know how many turns in his head, and then Shi Shiran replied: "Chinese films are not impossible, after all, the bottom fee is also a lot, but the Cantonese film theater line suddenly popped up a Chinese film, I am afraid that the audience will not be convinced, and your film will lose money." ”

"So, what if I make a Chinese film that is suitable for water and soil?"

“……”

The Guan family father and son are a little dumbfounded, what kind of Chinese film can still be compatible with Cantonese audiences?

Isn't that a fantasy!

But thinking about the screenwriter ability of the guy opposite, Guan Zhicheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Boss Yang has a draft in his heart?"

"It's a little bit of an idea, but the draft, sorry, hasn't it yet. Yang Qiu said briskly.

"Oh, I don't know what I think, can I ...... it?"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem——!"

Guan Jiabai has experienced a lot in the end, and the more he asked, the more he asked, the more unpleasant he became, and he quickly interrupted Guan Zhicheng's words with a cough.

Guan Zhicheng, who was a little stunned just now, also came back to his senses, sat up straight in embarrassment, and didn't want to ask more.

So, I had to Guan Jiabai say next to him: "If Boss Yang really makes a Chinese film that suits the water and soil, I am willing to do it, the quality of the Chinese film plus the number of Cantonese films, I can't sell it if I don't want to, it's just ......."

Guan Jiabai frowned slightly and asked, "It's just Boss Yang, are you sure you can shoot this film of water and soil?"

"Hmm......" Yang Qiu frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "I should be a little sure." ”

"Oh!!, then we'll see. ”

"Thank you. ”

After the theater was discussed, "Funny Times" also got its release date, which was scheduled for February 5, 1951, well, that is, it will be released on February 29.

Because the past year is a common year in the lunar calendar, this lunar month has no 30th.

The 29th of the lunar month is Chinese New Year's Eve.

Such a day when a bunch of New Year's films will be beaten out of each other's heads in the future generations, but in this era, it seems quiet, as if the film and television industry is not celebrating the New Year.

Judging from the film schedule obtained by Yang Qiu, in the twenty days before and after Chinese New Year's Eve, except for a bunch of Cantonese films released, there was not a new Chinese film released.

And how much publicity money can be spent on the released Cantonese films, so the entire theater in Xiangjiang seems a little deserted.

This is special, there is no New Year's atmosphere at all......

Yang Qiu didn't have much money in his hand, and he didn't think much about publicity.

The large drawing board hanging on the outer wall of the theater building directly asked Li Hanxiang and Hu Jinquan to draw a few Chaplin-like super-large portraits of the protagonist and put them there.

Stand out!

In addition to some normal advertising boards, Yang Qiu also ingeniously placed a few hollowed-out photo boards at the face to attract young customers who like to take pictures.

But how many people can afford cameras these days doesn't think much about it.

Yang Qiu didn't have classic marketing cases in his heart, but when he remembered that there was only a seven-day release period, he couldn't do anything.

Even if the marketing is successful, the extra money spent is estimated to be just enough to cover the extra share earned.

Seven days later, it was released again......

Facing the unspoken rules of the seven-day release of this pit man, Yang Qiu also had a headache, and he didn't know when he would be able to cancel this broken rule.

I don't know which great power broke this unspoken rule in the future?!

Yang Qiu sighed with emotion, while busy with the pre-release arrangements of the movie, and by the way, he ran to Li Houxiang and learned his music that had been lost for a month.

The time is also gradually coming to February 5th - Chinese New Year's Eve.

Early in the morning, Li Yi rushed back from Tiaojingling to celebrate the New Year with his sister.

The two siblings talked to each other about their recent situation, but their eyes slowly turned a little red.

Yang Qiu was quite uncomfortable sitting next to Li Man, and just wanted to reach out to wipe the girl's tears, but was glared back by Li Yi with a bull's eye.

This sister is ......

Fortunately, the two siblings did not cry after all.

At noon, the three of them had a rather sumptuous reunion dinner together, and Yang Qiu wanted to take Li Yi to watch his movie together, but was told by Li Yi that he would have a brother's dinner at night, and he refused directly.

Looking at Li Yi who was hurrying away, Yang Qiu shrugged helplessly, and pulled Li Man to the door of the Jinguo Theater on United Road in Kowloon.

At this time, the entrance of the theater is very lively!

The habit of the Chinese since ancient times is that they cannot be poor for the New Year at any time.

So during the Chinese New Year, I saw that everyone was wearing new clothes and jewelry, and happily, dragging the small ones and pulling the big ones, and the family went out to shop and pick up goods to play.

At this time, there is no large supermarket, let alone a shopping plaza, and the entrance of the theater, where the flow of people is most concentrated, has become the most lively place.

There is a constant stream of people coming and going, and the shouts of the hawkers are even more resounding.

Selling sugar cane, sugar water, melon seeds, chestnuts, etc., every stall is full of people.

Little kids rushed around the crowd with candy or half of a sugar cane.

I don't know how these big-hearted parents are not afraid of losing their children.

Yang Qiu dragged and escorted Li Man all the way through the crowd of people, and finally came to the steps of the theater, where there were fewer people, just enough to land.

"Okay, don't move. ”

"That's all!"

"Don't blink, don't blink, OK!"

Click——!

"Alright, okay, next. ”

Yang Qiu stood on the steps, looking at a photographer speechlessly, carrying a piece of thin cardboard with the words 'Lihua Photo Studio, only three pieces of photography', and using the background board provided by Yang Qiu to take pictures of people.

I watched a group of fathers and sons happily run out from behind the backdrop, and then another father and son ran in, and then smiled and stuck their heads out of the backdrop, just in combination with the portrait of the missing male protagonist and the little boy on the drawing board.

Finally, there was a 'click', and the photographer got three dollars.

Hey——!

Yang Qiu sighed secretly in his heart, buddy, the filmmaker hasn't made any money yet, but he has been earned by these people.
