When "Happy Ghost" was in post-production, Shaw Brothers' annual sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt Tire" had also been filmed and entered post-production.

The release times of the two films are likely to coincide, and the upcoming Spring Festival, an important annual schedule, that is, the period from around Christmas to before the year, has always been a box office hit, and Shaw Brothers will definitely arrange the best schedule for the blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt Tire" that is wholly funded by himself.

Although I know that "Happy Ghost" cannot compete for "Interstellar Blunt Tire", but first of all, we must at least know the time when the movie will be released, and as for whether you can choose an ideal time to be released, you need to fight for it.

A good movie schedule does not mean that it can be released during the Spring Festival and can make a big box office, but it also depends on whether other film companies have blockbuster films, otherwise the two strong releases are likely to pull down each other's box office, and even become cannon fodder and lose at the box office.

Although Chen Lang is very confident in the quality of "Happy Ghost", being able to avoid blockbusters is definitely more conducive to the box office of his first film, and as the opening film of his own company, its impact is very significant.

Now Hong Kong movies are becoming more and more popular, but the major schedules are not as strict and clear as in later generations, but the two most popular schedules, the summer file and the Spring Festival file, have long existed.

This schedule is also the focus of competition for Hong Kong film companies, of course, it is mainly the Three Kingdoms competition of New Arts City, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and other independent film production companies do not have such strength, so they can only choose to avoid the blockbusters of the three film companies and strive to collect the box office in the gap between the three.

"Fatty, do you know what day the premiere of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was arranged by Shaw Brothers?" Chen Lang asked with a frown.

At this time, Chen Lang and Wang Jing were on their way to Shao Daheng's office, and the two of them were on their way to determine the specific release time of "Happy Ghost".

"Uncle Sixth personally arranged "Interstellar Blunt Tire" on December 24th."

Wang Jing, as one of the only directors of Shaw Brothers Films who can make blockbuster movies, is still more familiar with the film arrangements of Shaw Brothers Cinemas, not to mention the release schedule of his own films, so he is naturally more concerned.

Sure enough, it was arranged on the day before Christmas, this period is the period when the number of moviegoers in Hong Kong is larger, and it is also the time period for students to have a holiday, and this schedule is the absolute prime time.

Shaw Brothers naturally did not hesitate to leave his annual blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt Tire", although he had known that this would be the case, but he was still a little unwilling, and he was even more worried about his "Happy Ghost" schedule.

Because although Shaw Brothers films are reducing production, they still shoot nearly 30 films this year, and Shaw Brothers' strategy is to win by volume.

Since it is impossible to make a blockbuster film that is always a big hit like Xinyicheng, with the advantage of quantity, it will add up to a lot, and the box office will definitely not be less.

It's a pity that Shaw Brothers movies are no longer the "Shaw Brothers productions, must be good" in the sixties and seventies.

In the face of fans whose viewing tastes have gradually changed, Shaw Brothers is obviously still sticking to its old routine, and it is not flexible, and naturally it is not favored by fans.

So although there are a lot of films filmed, most of them are only two or three million at the box office, that is, Fang Yihua slammed the door, resulting in a very low cost of film shooting, but even so, this year's Shaw Brothers is still operating at a loss.

Because Shao Daheng has not completely despaired of his film company, after all, it is a film kingdom that he has worked hard for, how can he give up so easily.

Tycoon Shaw personally asked for a blockbuster of the year this year, hoping to save the Shaw Brothers films, whose reputation is declining and less and less popular with young people, while also saving a little face for his film dreams.

Of course, if it fails, it will be time for Tycoon Shao to officially decide that Shaw Brothers films are coming to an end.

"Hello Uncle Six!" Chen Lang saw Shao Daheng, who was still in good spirits sitting behind his desk.

"Uncle Six's complexion is still so good, he is really old and strong!" Wang Jing also said with a smile on her face.

"It's not as good as you, these young people, sit down." Shao Tycoon seems to be in a good mood.

Because Shao Daheng has spent a lot of time on the sci-fi blockbuster "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is about to be released.

Shao Daheng specially invited the already well-known screenwriter Wen Jun to imitate Hollywood science fiction movies to create scripts, play with aliens and special effects, and also let his company's most beautiful Hong Kong sister Zhong Chuhong, who has risen rapidly in the film industry in the past two years, as the heroine.

Sci-fi special effects and Pretty in Pink seem to have the potential to be a big hit.

In addition, Shao Daheng has also changed his stingy style in the past for the promotion of the movie, and advertised in many mainstream newspapers and his own TVB, and now the cost of "Interstellar Blunt Tire" has come to 6 million Hong Kong dollars, so that the whole of Hong Kong knows that Shaw Brothers' annual sci-fi blockbuster will officially premiere on December 24.

Through the advertisement, everyone learned that it was a science fiction movie and the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Zhong Chuhong participated, which did successfully arouse everyone's curiosity, and many young people were attracted to it, which made Shao Tycoon full of expectations for the movie.

"Sixth uncle, I'll just say it straight, I want to know when Shaw Brothers decided to schedule the premiere of "Happy Ghost"?" Chen Lang went straight to the point, because of the worry in his heart, Chen Lang didn't have much to worry about.

"Young man, I really can't hold my breath." Shao Tycoon shook his head when he saw Chen Lang's anxious face.

Originally, Shao Tycoon has always admired the teenager in front of him, and even made an exception to sign a record contract with Chen Lang that was very special in TVB and Shaw Brothers, and later Chen Lang and Huaxing's performance did not disappoint Shao Tycoon, but now Chen Lang's contract is about to expire, but he has always refused to renew Huaxing, which makes Shao Tycoon, who has tasted the sweetness of the music market, very dissatisfied.

Shao Tycoon knew that Chen Lang must have a family, which made Shao Tycoon even more angry, although he was not as bitter as Zou Wenhuai, who had become a mortal enemy, but it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.

But in business, Chen Lang's "Happy Ghost" is indeed of good quality, although Shao Tycoon can't make movies, but he has been dealing with movies for decades, and he still has a certain vision.

Coupled with Chen Lang's amazing achievements and terrifying popularity in the music industry, this movie will at least make a small profit, so Shaw Brothers agreed to cooperate with Chen Lang, but a little difficulty is inevitable.

Of course, making concessions for "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is the most important reason, and Chen Lang at this time has not yet been able to make Shao Tycoon work hard.

"Lang Lang, do you have any plans?" Shao Tycoon asked for a long time.

"I wanted to release 'Happy Ghost' at Christmas, but I knew that Shaw Brothers must have given that schedule to 'Blunt Tire', so I wanted to release 'Blunt Tire' two weeks before or a week after 'Blunt Tire' came out." Chen Lang said.

"Huh?" Shao Tycoon is a little strange, it was released after "Interstellar Blunt Tire", isn't this kid afraid of being crushed by "Interstellar Blunt Tire" at the box office?

Obviously, Shao Tycoon is still very confident in "Interstellar Blunt Tire".

"This is impossible, "Interstellar Blunt Tire" will be fully released in Shaw Brothers theaters for at least three weeks, before "Interstellar Blunt Tire", it has been confirmed that "The Demon Hunter" will be released two weeks in advance, and after "Interstellar Blunt Tire", "Seed Ghost" will also be released one after another, and "Happy Ghost" will have to wait until at least after the end of January or in November." Shao tycoon understated.

Chen Lang's heart was full of anger when he heard this, and his hands were clenched into fists tightly, so he didn't show it.

Shaw Brothers obviously gave all the good schedules to the films that Shaw Brothers made solely themselves, but they are so cold to the co-production of "Happy Ghost".

Chen Lang even wanted to find Princess Jin and Golden Harvest, but half of the investment in "Happy Ghost" came from Shaw Brothers, and judging from the fierce competition between the three now, it is impossible for the other two to release "Happy Ghost", and in order to plot against Shaw Brothers, Chen Lang only hopes to cooperate with Shaw Brothers, but he didn't expect that even the release of the movie is so difficult now.

In November, students have not yet had a holiday, and the New Year is almost coming after the end of January.

The success of the movie "Happy Ghost" in the previous life was to attract countless students in the summer to become a dark horse at the box office, and if it were not popular with students, the box office of this movie would not be so good.

Now Chen Lang even regrets filming "Happy Ghost", it would obviously be better if it was released during the summer vacation, but now it has been filmed, and it will not be released if it is not released.

But fortunately, Chen Lang has read countless entertainment star novels in his previous life, and knows that "Interstellar Blunt Fetus" is a big hole, and what he wants now is to be able to seize this opportunity.

"Sixth Uncle, do you think that "Interstellar Blunt Tire" will definitely be a big hit?" Chen Lang asked slightly frivolously.

"I think it has all the potential to be a big seller." Shao Tycoon frowned slightly.

"But I think this movie will definitely lose money." Chen Lang pretended to pout in disdain.

"The little doll who has just come into contact with movies dares to talk about movies in front of me?" Shao Tycoon was a little annoyed by what he said, after all, it was a work that he had spent a lot of effort to prepare to save the city, and now he was so ridiculed by a movie newcomer, it was really annoying.

"Actually, I don't need to say, everyone knows that Shaw Brothers movies are no longer good, do you still think this is the sixties and seventies? Shaw Brothers' movies have long lagged behind Xinyicheng and Golden Harvest by 108,000 miles, shooting more than 30 movies, and the real money is probably only five, and the money is not as much as a movie. ”

Chen Lang saw that Shao Daheng's face was gloomy, but for his own purposes, he could only say it head-on.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Shao asked in a low tone.

"I want to make a bet with you." Chen Lang endured the restlessness in his heart.

Shao Tycoon's brows jumped slightly, "What bet?" ”

"I bet that "Interstellar Blunt Tire" will lose money, if I win, "Interstellar Blunt Tire" will be released immediately after the painting of "Happy Ghost", if I lose, you have the final say on when "Happy Ghost" will be released, I have no complaints, and I agree to renew the contract with Huaxing, even if it is a deed of sale, I admit it." Chen Lang gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Jing and Shao Tycoon were shocked when they heard this, but they didn't expect Chen Lang to be willing to sign a contract of sale with Huaxing in order to let the movie have a good schedule.

You must know that every record of Chen Lang now represents tens of millions of profits, even a figure like Shao Daheng will feel distressed about tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in 1983.

After Chen Lang finished speaking, he stared at Shao Daheng and waited for a reply.

Shao Tycoon was expressionless, but his flickering eyes showed that Shao Tycoon was also not calm at this time.
