"Old Qitou, give me a copy of all your newspapers!" Li Xuan waved his hand and threw out a hundred-yuan bill, and said proudly. According to the theory of Hong Kong entertainment novels, the protagonist's first movie is sure to cause a sensation, and the next day all the newspaper front page headlines are rave reviews, how can you miss it!

Lao Qitou looked up at the morning star that was still faintly hanging on the eastern canopy with black lines on his face, and finally couldn't help it, and scolded: "Hit the street, the sky hasn't been bright yet, where is the newspaper!" Yesterday's want or not? ”

"Huh? Don't don't! Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Li Xuan, who was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, was embarrassed again this time, and cowardly picked up the hundred-yuan bill on the newsstand and stood aside.

Li Xuan squatted next to the newsstand, the consequence of not sleeping all night appeared, his brain was confused, and his head kept hanging down and rising violently.

After a while, Li Xuan seemed to faintly hear the sound of a bicycle.

"Uncle Qi, your newspaper!" A little boy's voice said.

"Hey, good, good. Wei Zai, you are really diligent, much earlier than the previous Ah Jian! ”

Newspaper!

Li Xuan suddenly came to his senses, touched the eye droppings in the corners of his eyes, and opened his eyes to look towards the newsstand. But he saw a little boy throwing several bundles of newspapers at the newsstand with his back to him.

"Done, huh? Uncle Qi. ”

"It's all right, it's all right!"

"Uncle Qi, I'm going to the next one." The little boy patted his clothes and said.

Lao Qitou waved his hand: "Go quickly, go home early after sending it off!" ”

"Hey, then Uncle Qi bye-bye."

"Bye-bye!"

As he spoke, the boy got on his bike, and a heavy bicycle flew off. Li Xuan rubbed the corners of his eyes vigorously, and he felt that the little boy's side face was so familiar. It's a pity that when he rubbed the mush off his eyes, he only saw the back of the child in the distance.

"Old Qitou, has the newspaper delivery person been replaced?" Li Xuan stood up and asked.

Lao Qitou replied angrily while untying the rope in the newspaper: "Yes! ”

"Forehead......" The old man's attitude was a little unkind, Li Xuan cautiously tentatively asked, "What's the name of the newcomer?" ”

"I don't know, I only know that it's called Wei Zai, it's not right!" Lao Qitou suddenly looked at Li Xuan: "Aren't you just going to buy a newspaper?" Why do you ask so much? ”

"Aha!" Li Xuan touched the back of his head: "Isn't this that you are still dismantling the rope, so I asked casually." ”

"Nervous!" Lao Qitou put the unwrapped newspaper on the newsstand: "Take it yourself, take as much newspaper as you want." ”

"Hey!" Li Xuan answered, and grabbed the newspaper on the stall. Originally, there should have been a critic's comment on the midnight scene of a movie, but unfortunately, the sad Li Xuan happened to encounter the mainland's withdrawal from Yuelan that day, and the war that Li Xuan remembered for many months was actually over in only half a month. As a result, the newspapers in Hong Kong at that time were full of news in that regard, so that Li Xuan's movie was released without causing any waves.

I don't believe it's still so miserable this time!

"Ming Pao Morning Post", "Oriental News", "Sing Tao Morning News", "Hong Kong Economic Journal". "Cheng Pao", "Wen Wei Po", and another copy of "Overseas Chinese Daily" Li Xuan casually threw the money on the stall: "Old Qitou, I'm leaving, don't look for it!" ”

I don't read the main magazine, it's all the follow-up discussion of that war! Li Xuan took out all the entertainment supplements of all the newspapers and put them together.

"Let's start with Ming Pao Morning Post!" Li Xuan opened the newspaper.

"Uh......" Li Xuan looked at the headlines on the front page of the entertainment version speechlessly.

"Qin Xianglin, Deng Lijun's Roman fake!"

If you look closely, a fan saw Qin Xianglin and Deng Lijun enjoying the "Roman holiday" hand in hand in Rome, and the fan also stepped forward to ask for a group photo, but Qin Xianglin politely refused.

"Ahh Teresa Teng is an Asian diva at this time, and she can't compare, but why is there no news of her movie on the front page?

Turning to the second edition, Li Xuan finally saw an article the size of a tofu block.

"The Grudge - a new direction for the horror genre? Strange talk about the evolution of cinema? ”

Li Xuan took a closer look, but the content was a little exaggerated about the movie, saying that the unique oriental horror, in terms of content, style, and inner consciousness, it is in stark contrast to the overall atmosphere of world horror films, and it is a rare good movie. However, the article also pointed out the film's weakness in the plot and the inadequacy of shooting techniques.

"Hey, hey!" Li Xuan smirked, although the article was relatively small and not on the front page, the content sounded very good.

Li Xuan then opened "Wen Wei Po" again, no need to look at the front page, it was still Deng Lijun's scandal, and he turned directly to the second edition, which is not a tofu block, it takes up most of the page.

"Chill! "The Grudge"! A horror movie for horror's sake! ”

Now Li Xuan is too lazy to read the content, and the title is good at first glance. Just drop this newspaper and see what other newspapers say first! As usual, it's certainly not the front page.

""Curse", stun four people in one night! -- Sing Tao Morning Post"

"The world of death after domestic violence, exploring the dark causes of movies. -- Cheng Pao

"The black world of domestic violence, the depressive plot causes controversy! -- Oriental Newspaper

"The white evil spirit in the depths of the human heart in "The Grudge", the ghost of death after domestic violence. -- Hong Kong Economic Journal.

Eh, Li Xuan was stunned, he was stunned again last night? Moreover, how come these newspapers are talking about domestic violence in the back? Li Xuan flipped through the last "Overseas Chinese Daily" again, but as a result, the newspaper was rotten and he didn't see any news about "The Grudge".

This one? It's a little different from what I expected! Li Xuan also didn't want to think about it, new shooting techniques, new movie types, and the box office had not yet come out at the premiere. There are a few film critics who dare to boast that they have to wait and play a side game. If the box office of the movie is good, no matter how much praise and depreciation they have, they will have to go.

"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai put down a copy of "Xingdao News" in his hand, sat in the boss's chair and asked He Xichang opposite: "Xichang, are the four people who were scared last night okay?" ”

"Hey, you still ask me, the theater chain has always been in charge of Yongchang." He Xichang, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile: "But I estimate that this movie should be good at the box office, and I haven't seen a movie that can scare so many people at once." ”

"Haha, I guess it's not bad. By the way, how much box office has Shaw Brothers' "Ghost Called Spring" sold, have you gotten any news? ”

"Humph!" He Guanchang pursed his mouth: "Yesterday it was 1.3 million, and today it is estimated that it will be even less, and it will not reach 1.4 million if you kill it." ”

"Hey......" Zou Wenhuai sighed, and then asked, "Then ...... Ah Long?"

"Knock Knock"

A knock on the door interrupted Zou Wenhuai's words.

"Please come in!"

The door opened with a "click", and a middle-aged man with glasses walked in. The person who came was none other than Choi Wing-cheong, one of the giants of Golden Harvest, in charge of the cinema chain and film distribution business.

"Wenhuai, good news!" Cai Yongchang said loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Zou Wenhuai looked at a report in Cai Yongchang's hand and asked, "Yesterday's box office statistics came out?" ”

"Two hundred and eighty thousand!" Cai Yongchang raised the report in his hand and said.

Zou Wenhuai was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Show me the report!" He couldn't help but be in a hurry, if the box office could reach 280,000 on the first release, if the total box office was running well, the minimum could be guaranteed to be 4 million, and the screening time could even be extended to cross the 5 million mark, just like Golden Harvest's "Laughing Boxing Tricks" that had just finished screening.

"Tsk!" Zou Wenhuai looked at the report in his hand and shook his head, as if he couldn't believe the data in front of him.

"Wen Huai, I heard that the guy who made this movie did it alone?" Cai Yongchang asked on the side.

Zou Wenhuai, who was reading the report, nodded and replied, "Hmm! ”

"Then why don't you dig him into our company?"

"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai threw the report on the seat, and said with a smile: "It's all because Luo Wei and Sanmao are good leaders, now we all know that opening a company and cooperating with our Jiahe is the most profitable, so why do you want to run to our company." ”

Cai Yongchang nodded when he heard this, suddenly remembered the name Luo Wei, turned his head to He Yichang on the side and asked, "Xichang, how is Ah Long's matter?" ”

He Xichang sneered: "That miser, he won't let go even if he dies, and he will die sooner or later!" ”
