123. The first scene of the Great World Cinema

Chen Yihua came to the door of a movie theater full of people in a car, today is the premiere of half a catty and eight taels, as early as a few days ago, half a catty and eight taels have been completed, if it weren't for a good schedule, the movie might have started to be released a long time ago.

Xu Guanwen is very efficient, Hong Kong movies are originally fast food culture, and Chen Yihua wrote the script of this movie in detail, and solved the problem of the movie's songs, so the film did not take a lot of time since the date of shooting, at least in terms of time, it is much faster than the two movies that Xu Guanwen started shooting before.

Hong Kong films have developed for so many years, and their relationship with foreign countries is so close, and many processes are the same set of operating methods that were imported from Hollywood, so in 76 years, Hong Kong films already had premieres.

In fact, the results of a play's premiere in Hong Kong on the day are also the key to determining whether this drama can enter major cinemas in Hong Kong, there are many Hong Kong movies, and the competition is still quite fierce.

'Fat man' Chen Yihua got out of the car and saw Wang Jing's little fat man busy at the door of the cinema from a distance.

Seeing Chen Yihua, Wang Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over with a smile on his face, "Chen Shao, you're here"

Today, Wang Jing is dressed very formally, Chen Yihua arranged Wang Jing to be an assistant director in the crew of half a catty, although he is just a name, he has no rights, but during this time, Wang Jing has been following Xu Guanwen and has learned a lot of things, as the nominal assistant director of the film, today is the premiere of the movie, of course Wang Jing came to help.

'Fat man, why are you at the door, Director Xu, are they here?'

'Director Xu and they are all here, and they are answering reporters' questions in the lobby'The weather is a little hot, Wang Jing replied while not forgetting to wipe the sweat on his head.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chen Yihua asked Wang Jing to accompany him in.

'Boss'

Just as Chen Yihua and Wang Jing were about to enter the theater, a yellow-haired foreigner greeted the two.

"Boss, you're here," the white foreigner trotted in front of Chen Yihua and said respectfully.

'John' It seems that this foreigner did not recognize the wrong person, looking at the appearance of Chen Yihua and this foreigner greeting, the two should be very familiar.

This foreigner is John Briscoll, the manager of the Great World Cinema Company, as early as a few months ago, when the theater was renovated, this John was brought to Hong Kong by Chen Yihua from the United States.

The premiere of the half-catty eight-tael is placed in the largest cinema in Causeway Bay in the big world, Chen Yihua's big world has been renovated for a while, but it has not been open normally, the theater has been adjusting, training staff, and the premiere of the half-catty eight-tael is the first play since the opening of the big world.

'John, how is the movie doing at the box office'

'Boss, this drama seems to be very popular, and all the tickets for this premiere have been sold out'

Hearing John Briscoll say this, Chen Yihua is also very satisfied, after all, it is the first scene since the opening of the big world, the movie tickets can be sold out, and the big world can have a good start, as the boss is still very happy.

Now Xu Guanwen is the guarantee of the box office of the movie, and he is the first person in Hong Kong to have appeal, and Hong Kong people are very curious about the play, so the movie has not yet started to be screened, and there can be so many people who buy it, you must know that the theater in Causeway Bay has three screens after the renovation, and the theater can seat two or three thousand people in total, and the tickets can be sold out on the day of the premiere, which is not something that any movie can do.

Chen Yihua walked into the cinema of the big world surrounded by Wang Jing and John.

Chen Yihua: The place where they stayed was a high-end small screening hall of the Great World Cinema.

There are three large theaters, this theater in Causeway Bay Chen Yihua spends the most thoughts, this theater has three screening halls, two large screening halls, a small screening hall, the decoration is very modern, the decoration of the small screening hall is even more luxurious, the seats are all soft seats, the two seats are put together, the space of each seat is very large, two or three times the seats of the usual screening hall, much like the kind of couples in the later generations to sit in the luxury screening hall, of course, the corresponding tickets for this screening hall are much higher than the usual screening hall tickets.

At the premiere of today's half-catty movie, the reporters invited by Xu Guanwen and some other filmmakers stayed in this small screening hall.

When Chen Yihua came in, there were already a lot of people, and the crew was already here, and now this luxury screening hall has become the scene of Xu Guanwen's press conference, and the movie has not yet started, and the crew is answering reporters' questions.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Yihua did not squeeze over to greet a few people, but sat in a pre-prepared position accompanied by John in a low-key manner

"Boss, Jiahe's Zou Wenhuai is here" Not long after Chen Yihua sat down, John next to him touched him and reminded Chen Yihua in a whisper.

Because the premiere of the movie is going to be placed in the big world, this matter needs to be negotiated with Golden Harvest, John is the manager of the big world, and of course he has come forward to negotiate, so he knows the people of Golden Harvest.

Under John's reminder, Chen Yihua turned his head and saw Zou Wenhuai who had just come in.

Zou Wenhuai is not as unknown as Chen Yihua, as soon as he came in, the sharp-eyed reporter found this big boss of Jiahe, and immediately surrounded a few people to ask questions.

Zou Wenhuai frowned, he probably didn't think about answering any questions, and he didn't respond to the reporter's questions, when Chen Yihua looked over, he also saw Chen Yihua, pushed away the reporter next to him, and he walked over to Chen Yihua with He Guanchang.

"Boss Zou, don't come unharmed" Seeing Zou Wenhuai coming, Chen Yihua also stood up and said with a smile.

It's no wonder that Chen Yihua is so polite when he sees Zou Wenhuai now, mainly because of Golden Harvest's face, some time ago Chen Yihua wanted to put the premiere of the play in the big world, but it must be approved by Golden Harvest, after all, it was said that the screening of the play in Hong Kong was handed over to Golden Harvest, if Golden Harvest did not agree, it would be very difficult to premiere in the big world.

Xu Guanwen's self-directed and self-starred movies are not like other Hong Kong movies, Xu Guanwen is now the guarantee of the Hong Kong box office, his current movies have become the highest-grossing objects in Hong Kong, whether it is Hong Kong media or Hong Kong audiences are looking forward to Xu Guanwen's films, which theater the premiere is placed in, it has a good publicity effect on that theater.

Big World has just opened and needs to make a name for itself, John is very conscientious, and he also investigated the Hong Kong film market during this time, and it was he who proposed to Chen Yihua, hoping that the premiere of Xu Guanwen's new movie could be placed in Big World.

Chen Yihua thought that this idea was good at the time, so he mentioned this opinion to Jiahe, but when Chen Yihua mentioned this opinion, he didn't expect Jiahe to agree at once, just with the feeling of trying, but he didn't expect Zou Wenhuai to agree without hesitation for too long, and there were no additional conditions, which gave Chen Yihua a surprise, Chen Yihua is the kind of person who eats soft and not hard, Zou Wenhuai gave him face like this, and Chen Yihua's bad image of Jiahe in the early stage has also changed a lot.

'Boss Chen, let me introduce you, He Guanchang, my partner'

'Hello, Chen Yihua, nice to meet you'

'Hello Boss Chen'

For this He Guanchang, of course, Chen Yihua can't not know him. He Guanchang is not a small role, sometimes, Chen Yihua feels that Jiahe can grow, and He Guanchang's role in it is even greater than Zou Wenhuai.

When Golden Harvest was first established, it was already crumbling under the blow of Shaw Brothers movies, it was He Guanchang who found Bruce Lee, which gave Golden Harvest a chance to breathe, after Bruce Lee, He Guanchang signed Jackie Chan at the end of the 70s, and with Jackie Chan's many action movie performances, he has rushed out of Hong Kong to enter Hollywood in the 1980s. He Guanchang and Jackie Chan have a close relationship, and the two often admit in public that they are father and son.

"Boss Chen, your cinema looks very luxurious, much more luxurious than the cinema under our Golden Harvest, it seems that Hong Kong will have one more cinema giant in the future" Zou Wenhuai looked around, pretending to ask casually.

Hearing him say this, Chen Yihua was not guided by his words, he laughed a little, and then said self-deprecatingly, "Boss Zou is really good at laughing, my movie theater is purely entertainment, and now I am still putting money in it, I don't know when I will be able to recover the cost, if I come to so many more, I really can't stand it, my movie theater is a small business, unlike a big company like your Golden Harvest, and my movie theater will rely on Boss Zou's Golden Harvest to support me in the future."

Chen Yihua can't be arrogant and boast in front of Zou Wenhuai, the cinema line itself has just started, and it can't be compared with Golden Harvest at all, although he has great ambitions for the cinema line, but he is not stupid enough to show it in front of Zou Wenhuai, isn't this a disguised reminder to his competitors and let him guard against himself.

"Haha, Boss Chen is young and promising, and he speaks so modestly, is he not at all like today's young people, if Boss Chen thinks that the theater can't go on, we Golden Harvest are very willing to take over."

When Chen Yihua heard Zou Wenhuai say this, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Boss Zou is polite, if I really can't do it in the future, I will definitely remember Boss Zou's words today."

If you want Chen Yihua's big world and the beauty you want, Chen Yihua will not be able to transfer this movie theater even if he closes it.

In fact, it's also strange that Chen Yihua's movie theater is so well decorated, Jiahe's current movie theaters are very old, and there is really no one who can compare with Chen Yihua's big theater, Jiahe is doing film business, Zou Wenhuai saw this movie theater, how could he not drool, although what he said just now was not without a tentative purpose, but he did want to buy Chen Yihua's big theater, even if he knew in his heart that Chen Yihua would not be able to sell it.
