"It's good to be young, drink so much wine, and you'll be fine in one night. It's not like me, I still have a headache, and next time I won't say anything about fighting with you offspring. Seeing Li Yihua walking in with a radiant spirit, Fu Baorong touched his aching head and said with envy.

"Hey, Brother Fu is still in the prime of life, just in the prime of life, why do you say that Lian Po is old?" While Li Yihua found his side, he intentionally or unintentionally joked about Bao Rong, and the ridicule in his words was extremely obvious.

"When did you become so talkative?" Fu Baorong patted him on the shoulder and said, "For a while, everyone is worried about you." Fortunately, the sky has eyes to get you up again, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. ”

"Brother Fu, I've worked hard for you for a while!" Li Yihua looked at the tired Fu Baorong, and his heart was moved.

"Don't say sensational words, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."

"Yi Shao, this is the company's financial statement." Yang Dong put a bundle of reports in front of Li Yihua and said with a respectful face.

Li Yihua flipped through it a few times, looked at the dense text, his head was too big to understand, and after a while, he put down the report depressedly.

"Adong, let's talk about it, these reports are because it knows me, I don't know it, and my head is big when I read it."

"Okay." Yang Dong said happily, "After more than a year of development, the company has been making profits, especially the movie "Chainsaw", which has made a profit of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars for the company alone, and with the addition of the other two movies, in addition to breaking even, the company now has 115.3 million liquidity, which is enough to double the size of the company. ”

"115.3 million! So much! Li Yihua was secretly happy in his heart, "It seems that there is no need to shrink back in the future, and you can shoot Hong Kong blockbusters without any worries!" ”

"Hong Kong blockbusters?" The corners of Fu Baorong's mouth twitched involuntarily, and a wry smile appeared on his face, muttering.

"Am I wrong?" Li Yihua saw Fu Baorong with an ugly face, and asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem?" ”

"Yi Shao, I think our company will still focus on small productions in the future, and forget about big productions, Hong Kong does not have a large area of soil for survival." Fu Baorong frowned, he was not interested in the so-called blockbuster at all, and looking at the happy Yi Shao, he still couldn't help but pour cold water.

"Blockbusters don't make money? Says who? Li Yihua chewed for a while, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Yi Shao, it's been more than a week since our company's "Tough Guy" was released." Fu Baorong picked up a copy of the box office results and put it in front of him, "Take a look." ”

HK$800,000 on the first day; the next day, HK$750,000; On the third day, 830,000 Hong Kong dollars came at the box office for a total of 4.9 million Hong Kong dollars a week. For an average film, it is definitely a good result, but for "Tough Guy", a film with an investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, it is definitely a very bad result, you must know that the harvest of the movie is mainly in the first three weeks, if this continues, "Tough Guy" will definitely not exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

"How so?" Li Yihua's face suddenly became gloomy, he looked at Lin Yandong and asked, "Brother Dong, is this movie really that bad?" ”

"There is absolutely no problem with the film, every step of the way is perfect." Lin Yandong hurriedly patted his chest and reassured, scratched his head, and said sadly, "As for why this is happening, I don't know, maybe the movie is really not suitable for the Hong Kong market?" ”

"No, there must be something wrong?" Li Yihua thought about it, stood up, and walked back and forth a few times, "Let's go, go to the screening room, I'll watch the film." ”

When the end sign of the film appeared, Li Yihua walked to the front desk, bowed to the staff below, and said with emotion: "I am very satisfied with this movie, it is definitely a superb work." As for the dismal box office, there may be other reasons, don't be discouraged, as long as we make a good movie, we will have a clear conscience! ”

Hearing this passionate speech, everyone below applauded, proud to have such a boss, moved to be able to make a good movie wholeheartedly, and happy that they were not worried about the box office.

"Brother Fu, when will this movie be released?" The failure of the movie made Li Yihua irritable for a while, but he still had to figure out what was going on, so he asked very casually.

"When you won the Golden Lion Award and spread to Hong Kong, I arranged for the movie to be released the next day, I originally wanted to rely on this wind to drive the box office of the movie, who knew it would be like this." Fu Baorong said with emotion, "Can't get in touch with you?" ”

"What about the follow-up publicity?" Taking a breath, Li Yihua regained his calm and asked.

"Follow-up?" Fu Baorong looked puzzled, and the others also looked at Li Yihua curiously, "No! Aren't all Hong Kong movies like this? ”

Fu Baorong's eyes lit up, yes, it's wrong here, a movie without good publicity is like an eagle breaking its wings, in this era of rapid development, gold will still be buried in the dust, let alone a movie.

""Tough Guy" lacks publicity, so it is unfavorable at the box office!" Looking at everyone's confused eyes, Li Yihua said with emotion, "In our last two movies, although it seems that there is no publicity, publicity is everywhere. ”

"For the movie "Nightclub", we used the gimmick of Hong Kong-wide release, as well as the form of car body advertising, so that the whole Hong Kong citizens knew about this movie; Not to mention "Saw", the film classification system was formed in various quarrels, and it was undoubtedly not for the promotion of the film; Looking at "Tough Guy", except for the award-winning gimmick at the beginning, there is no publicity, and it can not be drowned in today's news explosion. ”

The more Fu Baorong listened, the more he felt right, and chewed it, but this is the case, and the movie that no one knows will definitely drown in the torrent.

"So what are we going to do?"

Lin Zhendong subconsciously asked, no one cares more about this movie than him, this can be said to be the first film he directed, although it is the name of the assistant director.

"Boost the publicity!!" Li Yihua sighed, "I can't help but publicize it, so that everyone in Hong Kong can know the movie "Tough Guy"!! ”

"Yi Shao, you know what? If you increase publicity, it will be a lot of money! Fu Baorong looked at Li Yihua in disbelief, and even his breathing became short.

"There is no return without paying, and only with proper pay can you get a return."
