Lin Jianyue's silence did not attract enough attention from the Hong Kong media at first, but a week after the release of "Chinese Heroes" and "Dragon Tiger Gate", the media finally sensed that something was wrong.

People who have watched "Dragon Tiger Gate" are basically complaining, thinking that there are many people who have been deceived, while more and more people are ready to watch "Chinese Heroes", and this trend is directly reflected in the weekly box office of the two movies.

Originally, the box office of "Dragon Tiger Gate" was 400,000 ahead of "Chinese Heroes" on the first day, and the gap can be said to be very large, but when Jiayi Cinema announced the weekly box office data, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Chinese Heroes" has more than 18 million, while "Dragon Tiger Gate" is only 16 million, which is 2 million behind the other party.

When they see this set of data, many people want to ask: what does this mean?

After carefully comparing the weekly box office data of the two films, the media finally found the problem.

On the first day, the box office of "Dragon Tiger Gate" far exceeded that of "Chinese Heroes", but the situation took a sharp turn for the worse on the second day, and the box office of "Chinese Heroes" on the same day actually equaled "Dragon Tiger Gate", and then began to overtake on the third day, and the box office data of the two movies on the fourth day has opened 500,000, and there is no need to watch it on the fifth day.

This is the first week, and when the film is drawn, I don't know how big the gap between the two movies can be widened, 10 million is a conservative estimate, maybe it will be higher than this!

For a while, the voices in the media that celebrated Lin Youlun's defeat were gone, and they were replaced by the magical reversal of "Chinese Heroes". Many newspapers used the word "incredible" to describe the news.

Many people don't understand it if they want to break their heads. Why can "Chinese Heroes" suddenly turn around. Obviously, the production of the two films is similar, and "Chinese Heroes" will play at a super level in the final battle, but according to common sense, there is no reason for such a big box office gap.

People who really understand the reason for this will not stand up to explain to everyone, and the statements in the media are becoming more and more mysterious, and the feng shui pattern that is directly involved in Lin Jianyue's office is not good, and some people even borrow the numerology in "Chinese Heroes". said that Lin Youlun was the nemesis of Lin Jianyue and Lin Baixin's father and son.

It didn't take long for this discussion to take long for Huang Yuyun to be dragged in, saying that he and Lin Jianyue were in conflict, implicated in "Dragon and Tiger Gate" and suffered an unwarranted disaster, and it was also said that when Huang Yuyang was released from prison, the bad luck was not removed, so "Dragon and Tiger Gate" was also unlucky.

"It's ridiculous, I can't imagine that in such a developed place as Hong Kong, there is still such a market for feudal superstition!" New. Huang Licheng, director of the Hong Kong branch of the Chinese News Agency, closed the newspaper in his hand and said with emotion.

"What's this? The richer Hong Kong people are, the more they believe in these feng shui and numerology things. What those rich businessmen do depends on the day, and the marriage of their children depends on the other party's eight characters. The office layout and villa design are all invited to be seen by a special feng shui gentleman, and there are many tricks! Liu Da, minister of social security and security, has many secret information channels in Hong Kong that the military has ambushed in Hong Kong, and he has long been familiar with this kind of thing.

"Lao Huang, you brought the two of us here, did the central government give any orders this time?" Chen Ran, the deputy director in charge of the culture and sports department of the branch, helped his black-rimmed glasses, and asked about official business.

"During this period of time, there was a wave of boycott of the mainland in Hong Kong, and the central government suspected that there was a foreign force behind this, so let the two of you be responsible for investigating it, and at the same time, the central government also issued an order for our branch to think of some ways to deal with this problem."

Chen Ran and Liu Da quickly exchanged glances, one of them is subordinate to the Second Department of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, and the other is subordinate to the National Security Bureau.

"Hong Kong people have a long misunderstanding of the mainland, and it is certain that this incident is definitely instigated by foreign forces, but now the problem is more complicated, because Hong Kong people's antipathy towards the mainland has evolved from an individual to an ordinary phenomenon, including many Hong Kong film and television works, in which most of the mainlanders appear in a negative image, which will have a great impact on the development of our work."

Chen Ran introduced the general situation to Huang Licheng, because he had already explained it in detail, and Liu Da didn't add anything to the side.

Seeing that Huang Licheng was silent, Chen Ran then suggested: "In terms of film and television dramas, we can find Lin Youlun again and let him think of a way." ”

"That's it, this kid has poached so many people from us into his Red Rock Security Company, this little thing should also let him help!" Liu Da also echoed.

"Okay, I'll ask him out to meet and ask him to help figure out a way!"

Although Huang Licheng agreed to this matter, he was not too sure whether he could persuade Lin Youlun.

Since Lam successfully extended his influence in film to Hollywood, his status in the eyes of the central government has been upgraded from an important united front object to maintain Hong Kong's overall stability to a key figure in China's export of cultural influence.

In the past two years, Lin Youlun has not been to the mainland very often, but every time the central government decides on matters related to him, his attitude is obviously much more cautious than before, which is a signal that the wind direction has changed significantly.

In the current situation, Lin Youlun has extended his industrial layout overseas, and he has little to ask for the mainland, on the contrary, the mainland has made a lot of use of him in some affairs in Hong Kong, so Huang Licheng is not too good to ask Lin Youlun to help them with this.

How to talk to Lin Youlun when you meet is a very particular thing.

——

I haven't been in touch with Huang Licheng for more than half a year, and when I suddenly received a call from him, Lin Youlun was somewhat surprised.

When he heard that Huang Licheng asked him to have afternoon tea, Lin Youlun probably had an understanding in his heart, and nine times out of ten, Huang Licheng had something to ask him for help.

"I'll invite President Huang to drink this tea, I know that your party has very strict requirements for cadres, and President Huang's current position is more sensitive, so it's up to me, a capitalist, to pay for it!" Lin Youlun said to Huang Licheng on the phone, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

Huang Licheng was stunned for a moment, and laughed with Ha Luha.

"Mr. Lin, you dislike the shabby place where I entertained, but you still find such a reason, aren't you deliberately burying me?"

"Really, it's been a long time since I've met President Huang, and I should invite you to say anything about this afternoon tea."

Lin Youlun insisted on insisting, and Huang Licheng agreed along the way.

The place of meeting, Lin Youlun did not choose the kind of very high-end hotel, but a tea house with an elegant environment and few guests, Huang Licheng was very satisfied with the quiet environment here, and praised Lin Youlun for finding a good place when they met.

After sitting down, Huang Licheng didn't go around the bend with Lin Youlun, and directly talked to him about business.

"The handover is imminent, but recently there have been some voices in Hong Kong society that are not conducive to the unity of the people on both sides of the strait, and this phenomenon has even spread to film and television dramas. The central government is very concerned about this matter, and I have come today mainly to ask Mr. Lin to give us some help in this regard. ”

"President Huang, you also know the situation in Hong Kong, although I control the theater chain, but there is no reason to interfere with other people's creative freedom, if I do it directly and be caught by someone with intentions, it will even cause more negative impacts." Lin Youlun is not prevaricating when he says this, his current position is also being watched by many people, and if he doesn't leave a message, he can attract attacks from the media, which will complicate things.

Besides, Lin Youlun has just partnered with Lucas and Spielberg to set up Oriental DreamWorks in the United States, and if he shows too obvious a pro-mainland stance at this time, it will also affect his industrial layout plan in the United States.

Lin Youlun's attitude was also expected by Huang Licheng, but he was not ready to give up so easily.

Lin Youlun said that it was inconvenient to come forward, but he really wanted to help with this matter, and there were actually many things that could be done.

"Even if it's my personal request, Mr. Lin can't die without help, right?"

Huang Licheng's sincere expression really made it difficult for Lin Youlun to refuse, and besides, he even moved out of the personal relationship between the two, it would be a little unreasonable for Lin Youlun to refuse again.

"President Huang's words are serious, I only said that it is inconvenient for me to intervene directly in this kind of matter, but I don't say that I can't help, there are actually solutions, but I don't dare to guarantee that it will be effective."

When Lin Youlun said this, Huang Licheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "What is the way, Mr. Lin might as well talk about it." ”

"I have no reason to interfere with how other people's movies are made, and similarly I make movies, others can't interfere, since President Huang said that many mainlanders in Hong Kong films appear as negative images, then I will make a movie with mainlanders as positive characters in the movie, if the box office is good, it should be able to guide some Hong Kong filmmakers to write scripts in this regard...... Of course, the effect of this method is very limited, and if you want to really change this situation, the most useful way is to use profit guidance! As long as the mainland is willing to open up more markets to Hong Kong films, then there is no reason for Hong Kong filmmakers not to curry favor with mainland audiences on the premise of chasing the box office, and the image of mainlanders in Hong Kong films can be easily reversed. ”

Huang Licheng nodded, "I will report this situation to the central government, of course, more work still needs to be done by Hong Kong filmmakers themselves, and now I will ask Mr. Lin to put more effort into this time!" ”
