Chapter Ninety-Seven: Talent Gathering
On July 21, 1983, "Happy Ghost" won 22 million at the box office, and then it was released, replaced by "Seven Days of Wrong" to take over, and "Five Lucky Stars" was released for 15 days, and has successfully exceeded 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.
"Happy Ghost" has 5 million more box office than Han Ziguang's memory, obviously because of the good advertising, and "Five Lucky Stars" has the possibility of breaking the box office record in Xiangjiang, of course, in the case of postponement.
Before the release of "Seven Days of Wrong Love", it was only regular publicity, but because "Happy Ghost" and "Five Lucky Stars" drove the movie-watching boom, it also achieved good results on the first day, and the box office reached 1.3 million on the first day.
On the evening of Friday, July 22, 1983, Han Ziguang held a celebration banquet for "Happy Ghost". The store was even grander, still at the Xiangjiang International Hotel, and this time the filmmakers with heads and faces in Xiangjiang, and even some people from the business community and officialdom were all present.
Han Ziguang is no longer the hairy boy who had nothing at the beginning, and the market value of the Light and Shadow Publishing House, the Light Cinema Line Distribution Company and the Light and Shadow Entertainment Company are constantly rising, especially the Light Cinema Line Distribution Company, which has at least several times its current market value.
At the beginning, Han Ziguang rented the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line at a price of 200 million Hong Kong dollars for five years, and now according to the scale and income of the Light Cinema Line, even if it reaches six or seven billion, it is okay, of course, the premise is that there are companies like Light and Shadow Entertainment and Yingbao Pictures as support, just like the Golden Princess and New Art City.
Han Ziguang asked Gao Zhisen, Zhou Xingchi and the Happy Girl Group to greet the guests outside, after all, they are the protagonists today, and he is a successful retirement, greeting all kinds of high-ranking officials inside, especially he is currently planning his own movie city, so the relationship above also needs to be good.
At this time, after Han Ziguang met with various big names, he felt like he had fought a big battle with those people, he was too tired to do it, he felt that his cheeks were stiffened by laughter, and this feeling of being a snake was really very unpleasant.
"Boss! Looks like you're really tired! Li Lizhen saw Han Ziguang's tired appearance, and couldn't help but say, "Drink something!" ”
"Ah Zhen! What do you think? Do you feel the taste of red? Han Ziguang saw that Li Lizhen had also fled to a remote place, and joked with a smile.
Li Lizhen is young and beautiful, and now she is popular because of "Happy Ghost", although the protagonists of the whole movie are Zhou Xingchi and Luo Minzhu, Li Lizhen is also the face of the whole movie, and of course, Han Ziguang is also the person who is responsible for the appearance, especially his song "Little Flower" adds a lot of color to the film.
"Boss! Don't talk about it! Li Lizhen smiled bitterly and said, "They are all some gentlemen, where can you compare with the boss?" ”
"Ah Zhen! You don't like me, do you? Han Ziguang said jokingly: "Still haven't withdrawn from the role?" ”
"Where? People are no longer confused! Li Lizhen said with a blushing face.
This chick is shy, but it's quite likable. Han Ziguang looked at Li Lizhen's shy appearance, couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself.
Shaw! Golden Harvest! New Art City! All of them came, among them, Zhou Wenhuai came in person this time, and two of the three giants of Jiahe had already come, but this time Hong Jingbao did not follow, but came alone with his brothers, only Cheng Long followed behind Zhou Wenhuai and He Guanchang.
As the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" is getting higher and higher, Hong Jingbao is also valued by everyone, especially the three giants of Golden Harvest have a little regret at this time, but the wood has sunk, and they don't know what to say.
Han Ziguang still received everyone, and then naturally was the focus of the celebration banquet, giving out red envelopes, this time Han Ziguang was not stingy, as the starring Zhou Xingchi, Luo Minzhu, Lin Shanshan and Li Lizhen, they gave red envelopes of 200,000 to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars respectively, because Zhou Xingchi is also an old man, so he gave a little more, after all, Zhou Xingchi's salary at this time is only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, but after "Happy Ghost", it will inevitably skyrocket.
Gao Zhisen, as the director and screenwriter, gave a red envelope of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, after all, Gao Zhisen is undoubtedly the biggest project of "Happy Ghost", and the rest of the staff gave some red envelopes, and the red envelopes distributed this time also exceeded more than 2 million, which is also a very big deal.
It's just that there was the first "Night. Of course, there are many filmmakers who are very interested in joining the Light and Shadow Entertainment Company, or learning from Hong Jingbao to join the Light Cinema Line and become a satellite company under the Light Cinema Line, but some are still waiting and seeing, wanting to know whether Hong Jingbao's Shadow Treasure Film Company will become the same treatment as Golden Harvest.
Han Ziguang naturally saw that there were people watching, among them there were two talents, one was Li Lianjie, and the other was Mai Dangxiong, at this time, Han Ziguang was Jiang Taigong's fishing wisher, some people were willing to come, he naturally welcomed it, but he would not particularly force someone to join his company.
At the end of the celebration banquet, Han Ziguang sent most of the people away, leaving some of them behind, basically their own people, or people who were about to become their own people, so some people entered the private room, ready to talk about something.
Han Ziguang appeared in the private room with Li Lizhen, at this time he drank a lot of wine, and with Li Lizhen's support, he was also very happy, and in the private room, Hong Jingbao brothers, Mai Dangxiong, Mai Dangjie brothers, Li Lianjie and other cadres, everyone seemed to be preoccupied.
Most of the people present are people with status and status, but Li Lianjie is the only actor from the mainland, and he is the most nervous at this time. Li Lianjie is just twenty years old this year and looks young, but Han Ziguang is even younger, but he doesn't dare to despise this young man.
"Everyone is their own person, or is about to become their own person, don't be too restricted!" Han Ziguang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said.
Li Lizhen followed behind Han Ziguang, she didn't expect Han Ziguang to be so beautiful, those big people she could only look up to, but they became restrained in front of Han Ziguang, which made her worship Han Ziguang even more, and she felt that she should be able to become the same scenery as Guan Zhilin.
At this time, although Li Lizhen felt a little familiar, and probably only knew the name of the Happy Girl Group, her own name was not well remembered, and the renewal in the entertainment industry was too fast, if no one praised it, she would soon be eliminated.
Currently, who is the most popular in the entertainment industry? It's not those male and female stars, but Han Ziguang, a new entertainment tycoon, basically making movies is in the nature of playing tickets, Han Ziguang, who owns publishing houses, entertainment companies and theaters, wants to become a star, it's too simple.
