With the smooth start of filming of "Plan A Sequel", the first cooperation between the two giants of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest has also become a big news in Xiangjiang.

In particular, the first cooperation between Shaw Brothers best director Wang Zheng and Golden Harvest action star Chen Long has attracted the attention and expectation of the media.

The enthusiastic attention of the media and the public made Golden Harvest led by Shao Daheng and Zou Wenhuai happy, and a month after the sequel was launched, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest jointly issued a notice that the new drama will be released during the Chinese New Year after the New Year.

The first cooperation between the two giants surprised many film companies, and they did not expect that the Shaw Brothers would ride in the same carriage with their rival Golden Harvest.

In 83, Wang Zheng, who had been precipitated for three years, was born, a "Crazy Stone", which pushed the "Best Partner 2" produced by Xinyicheng and directed by Zeng Zhiwei off the champion of the Lunar New Year, Zeng Zhiwei was also kicked out of Xinyicheng by Lei Juekun, the boss of the Golden Princess, and joined Shaw Brothers at the invitation of Wang Zheng.

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Zhiwei directed, Wang Zheng wrote and starred in "Happy Family", in the 84 Chinese New Year file, once again defeated Xu Ke's "Best Partner 3", Shaw Brothers won the New Year champion, but also was invisibly slapped by Zeng Zhiwei, Xu Ke also left the New Art City due to uneven dividends, and set up a film studio with his wife Shi Nansheng in Lei Juekun's retention.

At this point, the seven giants of the new art city, in the end, only Mecca, Huang Baiming, Shi Tian, and Teddy Robin were left, in order to deal with the cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, the four and the big boss of the Golden Princess, Lei Juekun, gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's talk about it, this time Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest suddenly jointly seized the box office of the Lunar New Year, how should we respond?"

In a conference room at the headquarters of Xinyi City, Lei Juekun sat in the first seat with a Cuban cigar in his mouth, ostensibly swallowing clouds and spitting fog, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and his face was calm, but if he looked closely, the expression on his face was very gloomy.

Mecca, who sat at the bottom of the table, spoke first: "I don't think there's anything to say, even if the two of them join forces, like last year, they started directly during the Lunar New Year, and I have confidence in the Chinese New Year film prepared by the company." ”

After speaking, he asked Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, and Teddy Robin, who were sitting at the bottom of the group: "Do you say it? Even if Wang Zheng and Chen Long join forces, what are they afraid of, our new art city has never been afraid of any opponent." ”

Mecca's inquiry was not answered by Huang Baiming's three people, and the three of them were silent, obviously not as blindly confident as him.

"Confidence, if I'm not mistaken, that's what you said to me last year. ”

Lei Juekun, who was sitting in the first seat, snuffed out the cigar in his hand, and said to Mecca with a gloomy face: "Don't forget, we have lost to your fearless Shaw Brothers for two consecutive years, and if we don't come up with a way to deal with it, it will become three consecutive years." ”

Although Lei Juekun's gloomy face made Mecca a a little jealous, he still retorted: "Boss Lei, I have a lot of confidence in the starring "I Love Bald Head" this time, and the comedy effect is not lost to Shaw Brothers' "Happy Family", and this is also our company's only New Year's drama, if we don't use it to block the union of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, do we still have to give up the New Year?"

"Hmph. ”

Although Mecca's analysis made Lei Juekun unable to refute, he still snorted coldly to vent his dissatisfaction, twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and asked Huang Baiming: "Baiming, you are the gold medal screenwriter of Xiangjiang, tell me your opinion?"

When everyone turned their eyes to Huang Baiming, who had not spoken out, he said slowly: "As far as I know, before the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest cooperated, the new Shaw Brothers drama written and directed by Wang Zheng has been completed, if it is not unexpected, this new drama will definitely be set for the New Year, plus the co-production of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, then our new art city will compete with the two new dramas for the box office." After a pause, he said: "If there are only these two new dramas, then as Mecca said earlier, our new art city is not afraid, but the Debao company established by Hong Jinbao is starting to shoot the second part of "Five Lucky Stars", I asked him privately about his release plan, and it is very likely that it will also be released during the Chinese New Year..."

Mecca interrupted Huang Baiming's analysis with some unhappiness, and said coldly: "Baiming, what do you mean, even if it is three, what can you do, will "I Love Bald Head" be afraid of them..."

Lei Juekun glared at Mecca even more unpleasantly, and after he shut up, he said to Huang Baiming, "You go on." ”

Huang Baiming helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, didn't care about Mecca's cold words, and said with a smile: "It's not a matter of being afraid or not, and the three dramas to seize the New Year file, whether it is win or lose, the final box office will be impacted, although the drama "I Love Bald Head" is starring Mecca himself, and there are also young students such as Chen Baiqiang and Zhang Guorong to join, but if it competes with the film starring Wang Zheng, Chen Long, and Hong Jinbao, it will only be the result of losing both sides, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Lei Juekun hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, Baiming?"

Huang Baiming still smiled and said: "What I mean is that instead of competing with Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Weihe, Zhengfei Xingwei, Debao, and five companies for the New Year, it is better to give up directly and seize the upcoming Christmas." ”

As soon as Huang Baiming's voice fell, Mecca stood up and objected loudly: "I don't agree, the Lunar New Year file is a high-box office period that our company has spent several years slowly forming, and you say give up if you give up, so won't our years of hard work be in vain?"

Facing the emotional Mecca, Huang Baiming's smile was not half a point, and Wen Yan said: "Mecca, you don't have to be excited, what you give up is just the 85-year Chinese New Year, and after we accumulate strength and create another masterpiece, we will grab it back." ”

Waiting for Mecca's mood to stabilize a little, Shi Tian, who had not spoken, said: "I think what Bai Ming said is reasonable, while several major companies are accumulating strength for the New Year, we will first grab the box office during the Christmas period, and the box office results will not be impacted." ”

Teddy Robin, who was sitting at the end, also echoed: "Yes, in order not to make several major companies suspicious, the title of "I Love Bald Head" also has to be changed, how about Merry Christmas?"

Seeing that three of the four giants have decided to give up the Lunar New Year file, although Lei Juekun is unwilling, in order to obtain more benefits, he finally agreed to change "I Love Bald Head" to "Merry Christmas", which is scheduled to be released on Christmas Day.

After the discussion was confirmed, there were only a few days left before Christmas, and the new art city began to promote the new film.

On the day before Christmas, the news that the new film of Xinyicheng was scheduled for Christmas also reached Wang Zheng's ears, and he didn't take it to heart, and was discussing the filming process of "Plan A Sequel" with Chen Long at this time.

Due to the arrival of Christmas, the crew stopped filming and gave the actors and staff in the play a week off, but fortunately, there is only the final showdown scene left in the filming, and I believe that in another week, the sequel story will be completed.

"Brother Long, where are you going to go during the Christmas holidays?"

After discussing the shooting plan with Chenlong, Wang Zheng asked casually.

Chen Long smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "I will fly to the Wa Kingdom tomorrow, and Christmas and New Year should be spent in the Wa Kingdom." ”

Wang Zheng pouted and said: "You are going to go abroad in style, and you are smiling so far-fetched, this is to make me envious, jealous and hateful." ”

Chen Long rolled his eyes and said depressedly: "It would be nice if I went chic, I only went to sell coolies this time, Brother Sanmao's new film was filmed in the Wa Kingdom, and I only had a one-week slot, and I had to work overtime to shoot at that time." ”

Wang Zheng was relieved after hearing this, he had heard the news of the second part of Hong Jinbao's "Five Lucky Stars" series, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "As long as Brother Long doesn't delay the filming of the sequel, I can't help the rest." ”

Chen Long smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, you can't delay." He asked again, "Ah Zheng, how do you arrange Christmas?"

Wang Zheng smiled mysteriously: "Go meet your parents." ”

"Parents?

As soon as the fire of gossip in Chenlong's eyes was ignited, Wang Zheng had already fled, and he was the only one left on the set who smiled bitterly.
