In early January 1984, soon after Zhang Shaojie returned to Hong Kong, he asked Baolong Company to send someone to contact Wang Shi and sell 3,000 video recorders in Baolong's warehouse to Wang Shi.

Each VCR only has the ex-factory price plus the cost related to freight, which is much lower than the purchase price of any foreign trade company in Shenzhen.

"Brother Zhang, this time it's really thanks to you!" Wang Shi was full of gratitude when he picked up the goods in Hong Kong.

Zhang Shaojie smiled disapprovingly: "It's a casual effort!" ”

"Hehe, Brother Zhang has helped me so much, and I have nothing to be grateful for, this is my own collection of some stamps in Shenzhen, and I gave them to Brother Zhang., to express my gratitude" Wang Shi hesitated for a moment, and took out a philatelic album from the file box.

Zhang Shaojie was stunned and said: "This is too outward, my help is just to see Brother Wang's eyes, but it is not a rare gift from you!" ”

Wang Shi smiled: "It's not a very valuable gift. I've heard people say that Brother Zhang likes to collect stamps, especially the 80-year-old monkey stamps, and you especially like it. So, I searched many post offices in Shenzhen, and I really collected more than 20 editions of monkey stamps. If Brother Zhang doesn't accept it, it's useless for me to keep it myself, and it will be laughed at if I return it, so you better accept it."

Zhang Shaojie reluctantly accepted the stamps sent by Wang Shi, a few years ago, Zhang Shaojie was still very interested in collecting monkey stamps. However, with more than 3,000 editions of monkey stamps in hand, there is no longer enthusiasm for such philatelic activities.

After all, even if it is 3,000 stamps, by 2011, it was only 3 billion.

The value of 3 billion of these stamps is actually only theoretical, and if Zhang Shaojie sells monkey tickets in large quantities in the future, he may not be able to cash out so much cash.

Therefore, it is really more reliable to work hard to make money by doing what kind of collection appreciation is not as good as honestly operating an industry to make money.

After —————————— sent Wang Shi away, Gu Long smiled and said, "That Wang Shi, is the friend you made in the mainland?" ”

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Let's make a general acquaintance, Wang Shi is a businessman with ideas and ambitions. The future may be a new generation of Li Ka-shing, and it is just to sell him some favors in advance! ”

"Oh, I see!" Gu Long didn't care.

Next, the performance of the company's several movies is the main thing that Gu Long and Zhang Shaojie want to say.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in Hong Kong for 6 weeks, and it has already set a sky-high box office of 56.89 million Hong Kong dollars. With the prestige of breaking the Hong Kong box office record, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was a crazy hit in Taiwan, with a total of NT$670 million at the box office, once again becoming the pinnacle record in Taiwan's box office history.

Singapore's "A Chinese Ghost Story" has been released for three days, and the cumulative box office has reached S$700,000, equivalent to HK$4.2 million.

Seoul, South Korea, was released for five days, and the box office data reached 1.23 billion won, equivalent to 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

In the first day of its release, the box office hit a box office of 390 million, equivalent to more than HK$37 million

In Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other regions, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has also become a super blockbuster that leads the trend of the times.

The entire Asian film industry has been conquered by "A Chinese Ghost Story"! In Hong Kong's film critics' circles, praise has been continuous.

After all, at this time, Baolong Film Company has become the pride of Hong Kong!

In the past 10 million box office, it was able to shock the Hong Kong media.

But since "Datang", "Happy Ghost", "A Chinese Ghost Story" and other Baolong company's masterpieces have swept Asia and become famous all over the world. The Hong Kong film industry is beginning to face up to the fact that Hong Kong's market is too small, and the target of 18 million is too narrow.

The goal of Baolong Film Company has reached a box office of 100 million, and the currency unit is the US dollar! Therefore, "making blockbusters, rushing out of Asia, and going to the world" has become a goal recognized by many people of insight.

Cheng Xiaodong became famous in one fell swoop with "A Chinese Ghost Story" and became a cutting-edge director who plays a pivotal role in the film industry! And Baolong Film Company has also officially launched the blockbuster era. Many Hong Kong filmmakers have bitterly discovered that in the future, the highest-grossing blockbusters will already be a competition in investment costs and advanced technology, rather than simply the box office appeal of stars, directors and others. - Cinema Fortnight

"In the month and a half of the hot screening of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the entire Hong Kong public opinion circle was affected by this movie. Whether it is the Sino-British negotiations or Hong Kong's economic issues, it is no longer the focus of social concern. From the perspective of propaganda means, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has also reached the peak of the Hong Kong film industry. There has never been a film company that would spend such a large cost to hype a movie to such a hot degree! - "Sing Tao Newspaper"

""A Chinese Ghost Story" is not a new idea in terms of creativity. Because, Pu Songling has included it in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" hundreds of years ago. The only thing worthy of praise is that the most advanced scientific and technological means are used to truly display the charm of classical culture in an all-round way, so that it glows with unprecedented brilliance and charm. Classical Chinese culture is a huge treasure trove of creativity, and when used properly, Chinese film festivals can be free from the distress of lack of creativity for decades to come. Digging up more classical Chinese cultural heritage may be a way out to solve the lack of creativity in the film and television industry back then. Of course, if you don't have the general strength and sincerity of Baolong, it's better not to disturb the classical culture sleeping in the library! ——Ming Pao Weekly

From the positive praise of major media, it can be seen that movies like "A Chinese Ghost Story" have really touched the classical feelings of many audiences.

"The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in Hong Kong and Taiwan has gradually entered the settlement stage, and it is estimated that it can receive a share of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office data of South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand will also be settled in the first half of next year. What kind of results will this film be able to achieve in the end, you say? The recent box office data has constantly stimulated Gu Long's nerves, making him can't help but want to guess the final result of the movie.

Zhang Shaojie smiled and said: "I guess, at least it should be the average result of "Datang 1"!" ”

"Is this movie still interested in making a sequel?" Ancient Dragon Road.

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and said: "If you make a sequel again, you can't help but be a little suspicious!" The reason why a classic is a classic is because it stands on the shoulders of the giants of classical culture. Without the atmosphere of classical culture, it is difficult to make up such a meaningful story. ”

Historically, after the first part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" achieved a good box office reputation in the world, it later came to the Hong Kong film industry to shoot "Qian 2" and "Qian 3", but the effect was not as amazing as "Qian 1". This is also because "Qian 1" is supported by the cultural heritage of Liaozhai, while "Qian 2" and "Qian 3" are dog-tailed mink, which is not beautiful.

Gu Long is also a cultural person, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed: "Then don't make a sequel, let "A Chinese Ghost Story" become a classic!" ”
