Zhou Xingchi really did not disappoint Wei Xiong, in the first week of the film's release, "Best Partner 4 Thousand Miles to Save the Poor Woman" temporarily took the lead with a slight advantage of 10.71 million to 10.08 million with the golden signboard that the protagonist Xu Guanjie has precipitated for more than ten years and his own really good quality.

But after entering the second week, the film's good reputation made up for the shortcomings of Zhou Xingchi's lack of popularity, and the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" began to catch up, and by the time the box office results came out in the second week, the comparison had become 17.64 million to 23.51 million, surpassing by nearly 6 million.

At this time, what competes with "The Saint of Gambling" and what teaches Zhou Xingchi a lesson has undoubtedly become a joke, because judging from the current box office trend, the box office of "Best Partner 4" should be around 25 million by the time of the next painting, and "The Saint of Gambling" will definitely exceed 30 million.

Two films in a row have achieved excellent box office, no matter what it looks like in the mouth of those professional film critics, Chow Xingchi has undoubtedly become a fragrant bun in the eyes of various film companies, and in just a few days, a total of seven or eight film companies came to the door to find Chow Xingchi to make a movie.

But in the end, they were all rejected, just because the scripts that these film companies came up with were so bad that they were completely useless, and Wei's still needed Zhou Xingchi as a cash cow, so naturally he couldn't let Zhou Xingchi stink the popularity he had just established because of making some bad movies.

Speaking of which, this is also a kind of love for Zhou Xingchi, but Zhou Xingchi doesn't think so, thinking that the company is worried that he is too popular to control, so when he heard again that the company rejected the script sent by a film company,

He couldn't help it, and brought up the courage to come to Fan Wei's office, but he didn't expect it, in addition to Fan Wei in the office, Wei Xiong and Zeng Zhiwei were also there, after being stunned, he hurriedly said hello, and then sat down on the sofa on the side nervously under Fan Wei's greeting.

"I heard the secretary say, do you have something to talk to me about?" Fan Wei had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't know why Zhou Xingchi came to him.

Zhou Xingchi glanced at Wei Xiong, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, he can have his current fame entirely because of Wei Xiong, otherwise he is still the nobody who hosts children's programs, and now he has just become famous and questioned the company's decision, and in front of Wei Xiong, he can't help but feel a little apprehensive and timid, but he didn't turn back from the bow, since he has come, he must say the words in his heart.

He shook his teeth secretly and said cautiously: "That's the case, I heard that many film companies have recently wanted to ask me to film......

Fan Wei looked at Wei Xiong without a trace, and the expression on his face seemed to say that it was really this matter, but when he faced Zhou Xingchi, his face instantly became gloomy, and he said expressionlessly: "Yes, there is this matter, is it true that Xingzi is questioning the company's decision?"

As soon as he heard this, and looked at Fan Wei's face again, Zhou Xingchi immediately panicked, if Fan Wei hid him in a fit of anger, then he would be instantly beaten back to his original form, even if he wanted to resist, there was no way, you must know that the liquidated damages in the contract are enough to discourage anyone.

"No...... No...... No, I ......" He said no, but I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Ahem......" A cough helped Zhou Xingchi relieve the siege, and Wei Xiong, who had not spoken, said at this time: "Okay Xingzai, you don't have to explain why you came here today, the reason why the company rejected those film companies is purely for the purpose of loving you." ”

"I can understand your feelings, but to be a star, especially a star like you who has just become famous, you must have a bottom line in choosing scripts, you must know how to cherish your feathers, you can't take any film, if you shoot too many bad movies, it will only damage your reputation. ”

"These film companies want to make a lot of money with you when they see you famous, but it has only been two weeks since the release of "The Saint of Gambling", and how much level can they come up with in a hurry. Yes, you can indeed get a fortune from taking these movies that you couldn't have imagined before, but I'm afraid that your star journey will end here, and no audience will like an actor who often makes bad movies. ”

Wei Xiong's words were really like an empowerment for Zhou Xingchi, and he understood that he was too eager for quick success, so he hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Wei Xiong, and said gratefully: "Thank you Mr. Wei for your care, Xingzi is not sensible, and please Mr. Wei and Mr. Fan don't blame." ”

Wei Xiong nodded and said, "It's good if you understand, if you have nothing else to do, you can go out first, and you can think about your acting skills in your free time." ”

Zhou Xingchi bowed again and said, "I must work hard to improve my acting skills, and I will never disappoint you, Mr. Wei, then I will go out first." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the office, and when the door of the office was concerned again, Fan Wei snorted coldly: "This kid is really bold, he just became a little famous and began to disobey the company's arrangement, and when he became famous in the future, wouldn't it be even more difficult to control." ”

At this time, Wei Xiong, who had no unusual expression before, also frowned slightly, this week Xingchi is really a little too self-righteous and has no one in his eyes, as Fan Wei said, just a little fame will not obey the company's arrangement, and I am afraid that it will be more difficult to control when he is famous in the future.

He couldn't help but think that in his previous life, Zhou Xingchi's reputation in the circle was not good, he acted arrogantly and domineeringly, was strict and mean to his subordinates, and had a strong desire to control.

Zeng Zhiwei saw the displeasure on Wei Xiong's face, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to temporarily suppress the filming plan of "Jiupin Sesame Official" first?"

Wei Xiong hesitated, shook his head and said, "No, you usually pay more attention, with his character, I don't know when he will make a mess." ”

"I understand. Zeng Zhiwei nodded: "By the way, there have been rumors recently that Lin Baixin's son Lin Jianyue is talking to Shaw Brothers about the acquisition." ”

"Oh?" Wei Xiong was taken aback, he didn't expect Lin Jianyue to plan to step into the film industry so early, and he didn't expect Lin Jianyue to target Shaw Brothers, now the most valuable thing about Shaw Brothers is nothing more than the copyright of hundreds of films, followed by the contracts of its artists and some equipment.

But will Shaw Yifu be willing to sell the film rights? Perhaps Lin Jianyue will eventually buy the artist contracts and equipment under Shaw Brothers.

"Hehe, now that the film market is good, everyone invests in companies, thinking that they can make money in this way, which is really fearless for the ignorant. ”

……

"Daddy, are you looking for me?" When Lin Jianyue walked into Lin Baixin's office, Lin Baixin was wearing reading glasses and looking down at the documents.

"Well, sit. Lin Baixin put down the papers, and after Lin Jianyue sat down, he asked, "How did you talk about the acquisition with Shaw Brothers?"

"The artist contract under Shaw Brothers has been negotiated, but Yihua, the copyright owner of the film, has refused to let go, and it may take a little time. Lin Jianyue's confidence seemed a little insufficient, and there seemed to be a hint of restraint in his expression, obviously caring about Lin Baixin's opinion of him.

I can't help but he doesn't care, now Lin Baixin is over seventy years old, although his body is still quite tough, but after all, it is time to choose a successor, but unfortunately Lin Baixin is not only a son under his knees, and no one can say who will take over the Lin family's industry in the end.

Therefore, he must try his best to show himself before Lin Baixin determines his successor, so he tried his best to persuade Lin Baixin to get involved in the film industry, firstly, he is really optimistic about Hong Kong films, and believes that Hong Kong films still have a lot of room for development;

Third, he knew that Lin Baixin was interested in the film and television industry. No, Lin Baixin not only agrees with his plan to enter the film industry, but also intends to join Asia TV, but Qiu De and He seem to have no intention of giving up ATV, and the two sides have contacted several times, but no big progress has been made.

"Forget it, although Shaw Brothers' film copyright is a chicken that lays eggs, if we can really buy it, it can also strengthen our momentum, but if we don't have it, it doesn't matter the overall situation, since Shaw Brothers doesn't want to sell it, then forget it, just buy the artist contract. Also, what's going on with the theater?"

Hearing Lin Baixin say this, Lin Jianyue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, if Lin Baixin insisted on acquiring the film copyright of Shaw Brothers, it would be really difficult to do, and now it will save a big trouble: "Regarding the theater chain, I analyzed it, and now Hong Kong's theater market is saturated. ”

"Even if the supply exceeds demand, if we set up another theater chain, we will almost certainly fall into the dilemma of insufficient film sources, so what I mean is not to form a theater chain, but to cooperate with the existing four major theater chains, which can save a lot of money for film investment. ”

Lin Bailin nodded: "Well, if it's really what you said, it's really not appropriate to set up a theater chain again, so who do you think you should cooperate with?"

"Among the four major cinema chains, Debao's production strength is the worst, and its self-produced films cannot meet the operation of the cinema chain at all, and more than 70% of the films are imported. The other three major cinema chains all have strong production strength, and the space for cooperation is very limited. ”

After pondering for a while, Lin Baixin nodded and said, "Just according to what you said, why don't you do it, since you do it, you can't just make a small fuss." ”

After talking for a while, Lin Jianyue got up and walked out of the office, just met Lin Baixin's secretary, and saw that the other party was about to enter the office with a document in his hand, and he immediately showed a somewhat frivolous smile on his face, and reached out and patted the female secretary's buttocks honestly and unceremoniously.

"I hate it, it's not good to be seen. The female secretary glanced at Lin Jianyue with disgust, how could she look half annoying.

"Wait for me to call in the evening. Lin Jianyue smiled and rubbed the female secretary's buttocks before leaving, he was also worried about being seen.
