Lin Youlun wants to adapt the famous American TV series "Mission Impossible" in the sixties and seventies, which has many die-hard fans in the United States, and it is not easy to persuade the copyright owner to sell the film adaptation rights to a Hong Kong company.

The words of helplessness had been spoken, and Thomas could not take them back.

From the very beginning of this conversation, the rhythm was firmly controlled by Lin Youlun, and Thomas found that he "willingly" fell into the trap that Lin Youlun had laid for him without knowing it, and by the time he came to his senses, it was already too late.

Out of prudence, the Americans only agreed to help Lin Youlun lobby as much as possible, but whether he could succeed or not, he didn't dare to pack tickets indiscriminately.

——

"True Lies" grossed HK$20 million in its first week of release in Hong Kong at twice the price of a regular movie, and everyone believes that the film can surpass "Tales of the Night" and set a new box office record for Hong Kong films. The film was released in North America for a week, and the box office blowout exceeded 30 million US dollars, according to the evaluation of professional box office statistics agencies in the United States, it is only a matter of time before the film breaks 100 million at the box office.

More than 30 countries and regions that were released simultaneously have performed well at the box office. Mak Danxiong's superb ability to operate in the open sea was fully demonstrated in this round of screenings, and for the first time, a Hong Kong film was released simultaneously in eight European countries, and it also successfully entered the Middle East market.

In later generations, the film was banned in 54 Arab and Muslim countries because of its portrayal of Middle Easterners as murderers and religious maniacs. The Hong Kong version of "True Lies" is full of Asian faces, and there is no special emphasis on which country the villains come from, only saying that they are a group of international criminals, which avoids the controversy of racial discrimination, and when it is released in other countries, it does not encounter much resistance because of this problem.

The success of "True Lies" was so natural that it was only natural to hold a drinking party to celebrate.

Lin Youlun rarely holds such an event in his own name, but as long as it is held once, it will become the focus of attention of all parties. The guests invited to the reception are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry, and the media gathered, and the lively scene was not even inferior to some award events.

Golden Harvest has always had a good relationship with Lin Youlun, and he is the old owner of Mai Danxiong Production Company, "True Lies" held a celebration party, Zou Wenhuai was unable to be present in person this time, so he asked He Guanchang to congratulate him on behalf of Golden Harvest.

On the way to the cocktail party, Cheng Long saw He Guanchang take out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a puff, it didn't seem to have something to say for the time being, so he seized the opportunity to say that he had been in his throat for a long time: "Godfather, we seem to have played a trick on Lin Youlun, the movie he invested in and made by himself is so profitable, but what is left to us is some petty scripts." ”

He Guanchang's dark eyebrows spread their wings like a mountain eagle, and his tall eyebrows pressed down slightly, shooting out two cold rays of piercing bone marrow from the deep eye sockets, "Ah Long, it's okay for you to talk to me in this case, but don't let outsiders hear it!" Do you think Lin Youlun is eccentric, what would you do if it were you? Would you give someone else the most profitable movie to make? ”

Cheng Long's two lips just now were still like a croaking machine gun, but now they are like machine guns stuck, silent.

"Far from it, "True Lies" cost 150 million Hong Kong dollars and was handed over to you to shoot, are you willing to invest so much in a movie? That movie can make such an effect, it is completely burned with money. Don't say it's you, just leave it to Golden Harvest to shoot, such an investment to make a movie, I'm afraid there will be a lot of opinions within the company. ”

He Guanchang's tone was a little slower, and he said to Cheng Long in a serious tone: "I know that you are not convinced, but you must recognize the reality." The box office of more than $18 million in "Red Fan Zone" and "True Lies" are indeed incomparable, but comparing the investment of the two films, I think you will have a lot of balance in your heart, or if there are no movies like "True Lies" and "Tales of the Night", a Hong Kong film can achieve a box office of $18 million, which is already a very good result. ”

…,

The success of "Police Story" made Cheng Long start to feel a little flustered, and He Guanchang just took this opportunity to knock this kid. "Starting from "Legend of the Night", "Lin Sheng and Mrs. Lin", "Back to the Future", plus the current "True Lies", who do you say is not popular at the box office of these films? It is known that the overseas market is very profitable, but how many film companies can really invest in big productions? "The Legend of Wesley" is a living example, and the investment of 70 million almost failed to pay for itself. Hong Kong's domestic market simply can't support big-budget movies, and the overseas market is not something that anyone can enjoy. You envy such a high box office of "True Lies", but you know that other companies are envious of your "Red Fan District", I don't say this to persuade you to be content, but you want to do more in the future, and there are still a lot of places to ask Lin Youlun, so those words just now are better to rot in your stomach forever, and I don't want to hear similar words a second time. ”

Cheng Long's lips moved, and his rebuttal was already like a bullet in his throat, but he didn't say it.

He Guanchang knew that Cheng Long was still unconvinced, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart, and his tone became much more severe: "Don't think that you are now praised by everyone as the number one kung fu superstar in Hong Kong, you are not fuel-efficient lamps." Let's talk about Lin Youlun, he first asked Zhen Zidan to play "Legend of the Night", and now he has found a martial arts athlete from the mainland to play "Huang Feihong", do you know that he is not cultivating a new candidate to replace you? ”

Cheng Long's face instantly turned pale, his lips were like fish gills out of water, and he couldn't speak.

He Guanchang closed his lips tightly and stopped talking, he believed that after saying so much, Cheng Long should have an accurate judgment of the situation. If Cheng Long is still so ignorant of current affairs, even Golden Harvest should seriously consider whether he should continue to bet on him.

"Godfather, I was wrong."

Cheng Long lowered his head, and the words he said were like stuffy out of the jar, feeling very uncomfortable.

Cheng Long's attitude made He Guanchang very satisfied, he beat Cheng Long just now, and now he has to give a sweet date, otherwise he won't be able to appease people's hearts.

"I learned from Mr. Thomas that Lin Youlun is preparing to make two more films recently, and the adaptation rights of one of the novels have been negotiated, and the adaptation rights of the other TV series are being negotiated......"

He Guanchang glanced at Cheng Long meaningfully, Cheng Long's heart beat violently, he realized that this was a rare opportunity for him, and he was a little excited for a while.

When the three major cinema chains merged, Lin Youlun had a promise that he would only control the cinema chain and not directly establish a film company, which means that if Lin Youlun wanted to make a movie, he had to find other film companies to cooperate. Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin are the direct beneficiaries of this agreement, and Hong Jinbao's Baohe, Mai Danxiong's production company, and Xu Ke's film studio are also stained.

Lin Youlun can cooperate with these independent production companies, and naturally he can also cooperate with Cheng Long's Weihe, of course, compared to Lin Youlun's investment, Cheng Long's heart is the hero of the film. "Red Fan Zone" is a stepping stone for Cheng Long to enter Hollywood, and now if there is a big-budget and high-box office movie as a guarantee, his future development in Hollywood will definitely be smoother.

Knowing the news in advance has given Cheng Long a lot of advantages, and now the only question is how to convince Lin Youlun.

He Guanchang smiled, he had already thought of a way to do this.

——

In the lobby of the hotel, several large crystal glass chandeliers hang from the hotel, and in front of the windows are several pairs of luxurious sofas, and the floor is a smooth, bright marble floor, reflecting the shadows of the human figure.

A row of black-suited security guards stood at the entrance of the hotel and stopped reporters from the door, while they also checked guest invitations to make sure no reporters fished in troubled waters.

Zhou Yimin wore a light cyan dress and long skirt, with a little powder on the bottom of her face, and her sideburns hanging down her ears, making her goose-egg-shaped face look just right. Between the two eyebrows and a slightly higher nose, there is a pair of large eyes embedded in the middle of the nose. This pair of eyes is very bright and very deep, and there is a warm light in them, which not only adds luster to her warm and lively face, but also accompanies Lin Youlun to stand in the hotel lobby, and the whole hall seems to be much brighter.

…,

After dealing with a group of guests, Lin Youlun leaned his head to Zhou Yimin's side, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Are the concerts ready?" ”

"You're really not going to be a live guest?" Zhou Yimin turned his head to Lin Youlun's side, smiled softly, tilted his head slightly and began to speak, while staring into Lin Youlun's eyes, as if he was looking for a small fish passing by at the bottom of a clear spring.

Lin Youlun looked at her reading demeanor in amazement with a heart-warming joy, the half-drooping eyelashes, the slightly fluttering lips, the eyes that were shining slightly at that time, the contemplation, and the special concentration, all of which were extremely lovable.

Lin Youlun couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Zhou Comin's face, "It's better that I don't appear on stage, otherwise it will be shameless to be booed by your fans on the spot." ”

"How can you say that ...... is so exaggerated" Zhou Comin's face was slightly red, in fact, as long as Lin Youlun could come to the scene, she felt very satisfied.

Lin Youlun smiled slightly, "I just need to leave a seat in the front row and I can see you at any time." Zhou Yimin held a concert in Hung Hom for the first time, and Lin Youlun not only helped her write a new song, but also specially prepared a mysterious gift for her.

"What is it?" Zhou Comin asked curiously.

"The Buddha said, don't say it!"

Lin Youlun pretended to shake his head mysteriously, and now tell Zhou Comin the answer, there will be no such surprise effect at that time.
