The reporters who swarmed up surrounded Chen Xuanting, and when they were about to open their mouths, the reporters immediately aimed their long guns and short cannons at him.

"Mr. Chen, what are your expectations for the future of this film, and will it win the Hong Kong Film Awards?" a reporter asked.

Since someone has asked a question, it has to be answered, but Chen Xuanting still frowned at this question, at the Hong Kong Film Awards known to Chen Xuanting in later generations, this "Across the Seas" did not win any awards, not only because of its commercial factors, but also because the most important thing was that the competitor of this film was "Lame Hao".

Thinking of the drama "Lame Hao", Chen Xuanting couldn't help but smile a little bitterly, you must know that this drama was invested in and filmed when he was in the sky, and now he has withdrawn from the sky, even if he wins the award, it has nothing to do with him.

However, Chen Xuanting did not feel any disappointment, after all, the box office of "Across the Seas" is there, and a commercial film only needs this to be enough.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuanting said to reporters: "I'm sorry, I didn't think about this, you should ask Mr. Wu, the director of this film." ”

"So Mr. Chen, can you make a prediction about the box office?" Another reporter asked.

Chen Xuanting was also stunned when he heard this question, he wanted to tell the other party that the box office of "Across the Seas" was definitely not less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, but when he said it, he would definitely be laughed at by these people, thinking that Chen Xuanting was crazy about money.

Smiling lightly, Chen Xuanting said: "Regarding the box office, I still have to say, everything depends on everyone, all of you give your strength, this drama can be popular, and the box office will be a hit!" Therefore, I am still very optimistic about the box office of this movie. After answering a few more questions, Chen Xuanting ran out as if he was running away, inside he was about to be pestered by reporters, and Chen Xuanting didn't know what to say about the movie.

In the next few days, "Across the Seas" was as Chen Xuanting expected, in just a few days, "Across the Seas" swept through all major theaters in Hong Kong like a whirlwind, and some movie theaters that were originally onlookers couldn't wait to be released two days earlier. Good reputation, unanimous praise, coupled with the charm of Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung and Zhong Chuhong, the three superstars, immediately filled up home appliances and theaters. The situation of queuing to buy tickets was staged in major theaters in Hong Kong, and countless people flocked to discuss the object of discussion about "Across the Seas", many film bosses in Hong Kong were amazed, and those theater owners who obtained the distribution rights were full of red light every day and were very happy.

But some people are happy and some are worried.

Hong Kong Yongsheng Film Company.

Xiang Huaqiang sighed, he really didn't expect that Thunder's first movie would be such a blockbuster. You must know that movies like "Across the Seas" were originally what Yongsheng was best at, but unfortunately now they are filmed and distributed in the hands of Thunder, and they have won a win-win situation in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. This can't help but feel depressing.

At this moment, Xiang Huaqiang sat in the boss's chair, listening to the shouting of the company's senior executives below, and his heart was extremely irritable.

Xiang Huasheng looked at him like this and said, "This is something that no one can imagine, big brother, don't be depressed anymore." ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "I'm not depressed about this, now that the foundation of Thunder has been solidified, it is impossible for us to acquire it again, but we are missing the investment of more than 300 million!" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "That's not necessarily. ”

Xiang Huaqiang: "What do you mean?" ”

Xiang Huasheng: "Then Dong Lingwei will never watch Chen Xuanting sit big, and that Ni Qiuyi is the new shareholder of our company, and she will definitely make a move!" ”

Xiang Huaqiang thought for a moment, "I hope so!" ”

On the other side, Hong Kong Golden Harvest Film Company.

As the president, Zou Wenhuai was a little regretful, originally this "Across the Seas" Wu Yusen had looked for him, but he was worried that the investment amount would be too large and it would be difficult to sell the port, so he did not take over. Now he has made the same mistakes as Run Run Shaw had made, and he was too old to take risks. Although the specific box office of this movie has not yet come out, the topic of discussion on the streets and alleys outside at the moment still revolves around "Across the Seas".

Originally, Zou Wenhuai was thirsty for Chen Xuanting, and couldn't help but ask Jackie Chan to personally invite Chen Xuanting to join Golden Harvest, and also offered to retain the name of Thunder Pictures and hire him to continue to serve as the president, but Chen Xuanting's reply to him refuted his enthusiastic face.

Think about it, Zou Wenhuai, as one of the top movie tycoons in Hong Kong, except for Run Run Shaw, is the most popular among him, but now, Corporal Lixian has become a closed door!

So he was furious. I think this Chen Xuanting is too ignorant of lifting! It's going to take some setbacks!

At first, when he learned that Chen Xuanting spent 30 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a gunfight film, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help laughing, a hairy boy who knew little about movies, thought that he had successfully invested in a few dramas and got carried away, and dared to take a big risk.

Then I learned that Chen Xuanting's movie was an international thief theme that few people in Hong Kong had filmed, and he needed to go to France and other places to shoot, and the director was John Woo, who was good at gunfight films but weak in emotional scenes, Zou Wenhuai was relieved again. Every day, Zou Wenhuai would stand in the office and look at the wandering beggars walking on the street, fantasizing about what Chen Xuanting would be like soon after. Xindao, I asked you to join Jiahe before, but if you don't come, you may have to come to me in person in the future.

But now...... Slamming his fist on the desk, Zou Wenhuai picked up the phone and dialed a mysterious number. Since you can't stop the momentum of the movie, then you have to make some trouble for it, there is already an Inheyday, and there must not be a second one...... Zou Wenhuai thought secretly in his heart.

Regardless of what everyone thinks, at this moment in a conference room of Thunder Pictures, Chen Xuanting sat quietly above, listening to the report compiled by his former friend Ma Weihao.

"Last week's box office statistics have come out, 17 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still growing." Ma Weihao, the director and chief financial officer of Thunder Pictures, put the statistical report on the table and stared at Chen Xuanting for a long time, as if he was looking at a monster. After a long time, he sighed lightly: "I can't believe it, it is estimated that it will only take a month to earn back all the filming income of the movie, and this is only the Hong Kong box office, and when the Taiwan box office and the new Malaysia and Thailand box office come out, oh my God, I can't imagine what the number is." ”

Chen Xuanting looked at Ma Weihao's changeable face, didn't say anything, just kept tapping his fingers on the conference table.

"Hehe, who would have thought before the shooting? Now this number tells us that the name Chen Xuanting can not only create miracles in the sky, but also in the thunder. As one of the shareholders, Stephen Chow said with a smile. After all, in addition to shooting first-class comedies, Stephen Chow also knows a little about the crazy money of movies.

"yes, it's incredible, it's like I'm dreaming these days, this... The money came too quickly. Another shareholder, Ren Dahua, was surprised. This kind of money-making speed is better than robbing a bank, no, maybe more profitable than robbing a bank.

He even looked forward to making more movies like this a year............ Trembling all over, Ren Dahua shuddered when he thought about it. Maybe the Forbes list may be about to enter a Chinese ......!

"Hehe, this is just the beginning. Don't forget, our "Undefeated in the East" will be released soon. After speaking, Chen Xuanting took out a new script from the audience and said to John Woo: "Don't talk about this, shouldn't we talk about our next movie?" ”

"Ahh Wu Yusen exclaimed. But in exchange for everyone's smiles.

After another half a month, the movie "Across the Seas" has become a real sensation, not only the three leading actors of this drama have attracted people's attention, but also the name Chen Xuanting of Thunder Pictures, which has become the person who has attracted the most attention from Hong Kong people for a while, and its popularity is vaguely comparable to Fa Ge.

With the popularity of "Across the Seas", the major box office lists in Hong Kong have become "Across the Seas" leaflets, which not only dominated the No.1 throne in a row, but also broke a number of seemingly unattainable box office records.

Another week later, Thunder Pictures, which was unrivaled in popularity for a while, suddenly announced that the company would spend 50 million yuan to shoot two dramas "Spicy Detective" and "Happy Family". Among them, the starring roles of the first drama are the golden statue actor Chow Yun-fat and the new red student Tony Leung; The second drama starring the king of comedy Stephen Chow and his brother Leslie Cheung!

As soon as the news came out, the entire Hong Kong media was in an uproar. It's a big deal, it's definitely a big deal!

Chow Yun-fat!

Stephen chow!

The double Monday has long been the golden sign of Hong Kong films.

Now that Thunder is enveloping two of them, doesn't that mean a big fight?!

However, during the boom of movie releases, several major media in Hong Kong, such as "Entertainment Weekly", "Entertainment Times", and "Sing Tao Yuebao", suddenly wrote a report in the newspaper, condemning "Across the Seas" and Thunder Pictures.

The first is "Entertainment Weekly" "This movie is completely garbage, not only can I not see anything too deep in thought, but also plagiarizes a variety of scenes in foreign movies, even at the end, the protagonist is basically the same as Bruce Willis's "Die Hard" series at the time of the final reversal, and the emotional entanglement of the three heroes and heroines is plagiarized from the classic old American film "Broken Blue Bridge", all of which are heroines who think that the person they like is dead, and then choose other men. I would like to ask. Could it be that Thunder Pictures only plagiarizes? ”

"Entertainment Times": "Crazy, lately the whole of Hong Kong has gone crazy with that guy who claims to be a great talent, and a hodgepodge movie can have so many people love, on the contrary, people are even dismissive of those more profound movies like "The Philadelphia Story." I dare to guarantee that this "Across the Seas" will not be a box office hit, and it will not win any awards at the next Academy Awards. ”

"Sing Tao Daily": "For people who have a deep understanding of Hong Kong films, this is just a drama that sells off bullets and then shows off emotions!" It's imitating an international blockbuster, but the result is -- nondescript! In this regard, we are very disappointed with Director Yomori! Very disappointed in Thunder Pictures! ”

“………………”

Although Chen Xuanting didn't bother to ask about these newspapers, he was still curious why several major newspapers that were still chasing "Across the Seas" suddenly turned back. However, Chen Xuanting didn't care too much, he just thought that those people couldn't stand the success of commercial films, or the discrimination against Chen Xuanting and others. Chen Xuanting has seen a lot of such things, which is expected. If there is no such opposition, it would be strange.

Because of the popularity of the movie, the gossip news brought by Chen Xuanting was gradually suppressed, which also made Chen Xuanting breathe a sigh of relief, it is really not a happy thing to be followed by a group of paparazzi every day.

No, as soon as the morning dawned, Chen Xuanting secretly drove to a large park nearby. Today's Chen Xuanting is dressed very refreshing and leisurely, Chen Xuanting has been too busy recently, and now he finally caught a break and hurriedly ran to the amusement park. Of course, there is also Xiao Zhou Xiuna, who has been living in Chen Xuanting's house.

Now Sister-in-law Zhen is proud of the Chen family, because she not only helped Chen Darong invest in a few shops with great vision, but also used Chen Xuanting's popularity to become a "capable person" in the neighborhood. Whoever saw her shouted disrespectfully: "Sister-in-law Zhen! ”。

In addition, because Thunder Company had just opened and was short of manpower, Chen Darong and Sister-in-law Zhen hung up the title of the company's logistics "manager" to help the company with chores and work hard, which made Chen Xuanting feel very ashamed, and he was naturally even better for Xiao Zhou Xiuna.

Now that the tide is rising, Zhou Xiuna's living standard, which was not very good, has greatly improved, her nutrition has kept up, and her body has developed even more unevenly, and she is only ten years old, and she is already like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

A pair of round eyes stared at the scenery outside the car window, Zhou Xiuna was very happy at this time, these days, because of Chen Xuanting's busyness, Zhou Xiuna has not been alone with her cheap brother for a long time. Yesterday, when Zhou Xiuna learned that Chen Xuanting would be more idle today, she immediately handed him a leaflet from a nearby amusement park.

Chen Xuanting, who was looking ahead, glanced at Zhou Xiuna. When looking at the innocent and bright smile on her face, Chen Xuanting felt that it was a good thing to agree to Zhou Xiuna to come out this time.

The entrance to the amusement park is filled with young couples, or parents with children for the holidays. Zhou Xiuna got out of the car with an excited face and ran to a vendor selling balloons. Chen Xuanting couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, but he didn't expect that a teenage girl would be interested in balloons. When he was hesitating whether to go over, he saw Zhou Xiuna looking at him with watery eyes, as if he would cry on the spot if he didn't agree.

Helpless, after Chen Xuanting hurriedly parked the car, he immediately ran over, paid, and looked at the back of Zhou Xiuna holding many balloons with both hands, Chen Xuanting was slightly stunned in his heart. It seems that Zhou Xiuna has a lot of money.

"Brother Xuanting, I want to sit here!" Suddenly, Zhou Xiuna, who had been jumping in front, stopped, turned her head, and pointed to the "Parisian merry-go-round".

"Huh." Chen Xuanting shook his head, and in the face of this angelic smile, all the doubts in his heart dissipated. What do you want to do so much, as long as she's happy.

"Can't you?" Seeing Chen Xuanting shaking his head, Zhou Xiuna looked at him pitifully.

Chen Xuanting saw that the little girl had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll buy a ticket." ”

"You have to play too." Zhou Xiuna shouted behind her.

"Got it." Chen Xuanting nodded helplessly in agreement, this kind of children's game, Chen Xuanting really can't be interested.

The "Parisian carousel" seems to be new, with intricately carved wooden horses lining the carousels in the ornately decorated carousel shed. When the disc turns, the exquisite ceiling rotates at the same time, and the wooden horse swings up and down, riding on it as if galloping on the grassland.

Chen Xuanting and Zhou Xiuna picked two red wooden horses one after the other, and as the music sounded, the merry-go-round began a new round of running. Circle after circle, Zhou Xiuna looked very excited, raised her hands and screamed for bursts, completely immersed in the world of joy.

"Brother Xuanting, this horse is turning so fast."

"Brother Xuanting, I think your horse is better looking than mine."

"Brother Xuanting, I'm a little dizzy......"

“………………”

Chen Xuanting was embarrassed, he glanced around, and sure enough, he saw many onlookers, of course, most of them were men. After all, Zhou Xiuna is still a little girl, but she is a big man in his twenties. Hearing the voice of a very cute little girl, especially revealing a sweet timbre, undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.

After a while, the merry-go-round stopped. Chen Xuanting grabbed Zhou Xiuna's hand and hurriedly ran down, he really couldn't afford to lose that person, he didn't know what kind of "Uncle Goldfish" was kidnapping the little girl.

"Don't you like to play with merry-go-rounds?" Zhou Xiuna asked curiously.

"Ugh." Chen Xuanting was dumbfounded, and then smiled: "I liked it before." "Yes, I used to like it, before I was 10 years old.

Zhou Xiuna listened to Chen Xuanting's words, and the smile on her face immediately bloomed, she sweetly hugged Chen Xuanting's left hand, pointed to the towering Ferris wheel and shouted, "Brother Xuanting, I want to sit there." ”

Chen Xuanting coughed dryly, looked at the Ferris wheel, thought that he could sit in it and rest, and nodded. "Well, I think it's good."

Who knows, as soon as Chen Xuanting's words fell, he saw Zhou Xiuna's head shaking like a rattle, "No, I'm talking about the one behind the Ferris wheel." ”

I saw that under the blue sky, a long and winding track came into front of Chen Xuanting's eyes. Then a black shadow flickered in the air along the track, accompanied by the screams of the passengers all the way, only to hear the sound of "boom", the roller coaster suddenly turned a right-angle turn, slid over Chen Xuanting's head, and sped towards the spectacular circular track.

Holding down his somewhat messy hair, Chen Xuanting said softly: "Nana, maybe, how about we change places?" For example, in the park, my favorite place to fish is the most. ”

Zhou Xiuna shook her head and looked at Chen Xuanting with extremely resolute eyes: "No, if you want to fish, you have to wait until you play the roller coaster before leaving." ”

Chen Xuanting looked at her sometimes coquettish and sometimes naughty face, and thought to himself: I don't know if it's right or wrong to promise Xiao Nana to come to the amusement park today.

Roller coasters, Ferris wheels, twin tower space shuttles, spinning around, after taking turns to try, Chen Xuanting dragged his tired body back to the car, and Zhou Xiuna next to him was still chattering, and it seemed that she hadn't enjoyed it yet.

"Is this really a small amusement park?" Chen Xuanting suddenly thought. If you have the money, you can move Disney in the United States yourself!
