was so busy working in Polygram's recording studio for three or five days, and when several people gradually started to sing, Li Xuan and Lin Qingxia had to put down what they were doing.

Because, the award ceremony of the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards is about to begin.

Since the 16th Golden Horse Awards were held at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taiwan last year, this year's Golden Horse Awards have also been placed here, and the date has only been postponed by one day from last year, set on November 3.

Li Xuan and his entourage got up on November 1 and went to Taiwan, as for why it was a group, it was because the crew of "Mr. Zombie", "King of Killers" and "Crazy Robbery" had some contact with Li Xuan, so they were invited to leave together. There are more than a dozen people in the mighty way, which is very spectacular.

Li Xuan's own company only has three people, one is himself, one is Wang Jin, and finally there is a little brother who does miscellaneous work. As for the rest of the crew of "Mr. Zombie", although they are also on the same road, they are already considered to be the team of Golden Harvest. Wang Jin didn't want to go, but the investor of "The King of Killers" said a word to Hua Qiang, and he easily dispelled his thoughts.

"As long as you are willing to offend the Taiwan Information Bureau, so that the movies you make will not sell in Taiwan in the future, you can not go ......"

When Xiang Huaqiang said this, Li Xuan still remembered Wang Jin's annoyed face, but the fat man finally had to give in to reality. And he is not the only one who succumbs to reality, Xu Yiying, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor because of "Mr. Zombie", always said in private that he is also the leading actor, and he once didn't want to participate in this Golden Horse Awards, but he finally had to leave with Li Xuan and them.

Yongsheng Company also sent three people, but except for one Xiang Huaqiang, the two people who followed him didn't look like they were in the film industry, but more like people in the club. Li Xuan maliciously thought, did Xiang Huaqiang go to Taiwan this time to participate in the Golden Horse Awards or to attend the gathering of the Bamboo Union Gang? The relationship between New Ngee An and the Bamboo Union Gang has always been very good.

As for "Crazy Robbery", which was nominated for three Golden Horse Awards, it was led by Xu Anhua himself. The investment company of this film has long been dissolved, and Zhang Aijia, one of the original bosses, is still the host of the two Golden Horse Awards, and the other boss is also concentrating on the development of the TV circle and ignoring the trivial matters of the movie, so this leading matter is placed on Xu Anhua.

In addition, Lin Qingxia also left for Taiwan with them, and she will return to Hong Kong with Li Xuan after participating in the Golden Horse Awards.

"Ah Xuan, you've been making a lot of noise lately!" Xiang Huaqiang, who was sitting next to Li Xuan, sighed.

"Haha, I'm making a fuss." Li Xuan replied with a smile: "However, it's still not as good as Brother Qiang, you are so muffled to make a fortune." ”

Xiang Huaqiang smiled noncommittally and said, "What kind of wealth am I......"

Unlike the previous Yongsheng Film Company that couldn't find a film center, the current Yongsheng has persevered in following the trend films, and many of them are modern shootout films that follow the trend of "The King of Killers". Although these followers will not make a lot of money, at least they will not lose money and the company will almost go bankrupt as before.

However, Xiang Huaqiang's limitations as an actor at this time have been shown, and he has starred in several films that have performed well at the box office, but people are still not impressed by his face, and he has been in a tepid state. It is estimated that this guy has discovered his own shortcomings, and at this time he has gradually changed his career to a filmmaker, and the new movie under Yongsheng Company is finally not starring himself.

"The money I made from those movies hasn't ...... yet" Xiang Huaqiang looked at Li Xuan curiously, and continued with admiration: "It's not as much as Ah Xuan, you have invested more in making a movie!" ”

"Haha, Brother Qiang, you like to joke. It's not like you don't know, I like to play new tricks, so it's fun to make movies! Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said.

Xiang Huaqiang gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother admires you for this, you guy, you are completely playing with movies as a hobby." ”

"I'm just a two-person person who feeds the whole family without worrying, in this case, why don't you let yourself live happily? But Brother Qiang, you have a big mess to take care of......"

"Hey, that's right, do you think I like to make follow-up films?" Xiang Huaqiang sighed: "Only follow-up films can guarantee that they will not lose money, so they can explain to their brothers." But speaking of movies, did you really invest eight million in this new movie? ”

"Until now......" Li Xuan pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It has already cost more than five million, plus the post-production publicity and the theater package at that time, it is estimated that it will cost about seven million at most." I now know how much money I can save by making movies with Shaw Brothers. ”

The Shaw Brothers' large-scale studio system is like a sophisticated instrument, bloated is bloated, but when combined to make movies, there is very little waste of personnel. In addition, tens of thousands of props in the Shaw Brothers factory warehouse are ready for use, which greatly reduces the preparation time and difficulty of the crew. The consequence of these conditions was that Li Xuan suddenly found that he had saved nearly a million investments.

"Seven million!" Xiang Huaqiang sighed: "It seems that we can't follow the trend this time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Xuan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, does this guy plan to follow the trend to the end? Holding back that smile, Li Xuan replied: "That's right, but the film I made this time is not something that can be followed by just investing money." ”

"Oh? So powerful? Xiang Huaqiang asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded in response.

Li Xuan estimates that there is no one who can play well in this new school of martial arts now, and although Tsui Hark's "Butterfly Transformation" looks like a martial arts movie, it is actually a suspense film. Especially now, Hong Kong's WIA technology is still extremely backward, if it weren't for the combination of Li Xuan's ideas and Cheng Xiaodong's technology, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" may not be filmed.

These two conditions alone block 99% of Hong Kong's directors, not to mention other human and financial resources.

"Since Ah Xuan, you are so confident, then you will have to give my brother a few tickets for the midnight movie at that time." Xiang Huaqiang was also aroused by Li Xuan's interest, and hurriedly explained.

"Midnight ......" Li Xuan pondered, shook his head and said: "Brother Qiang, you are going to be disappointed, this movie, I don't plan to do a midnight test screening." ”

"Don't do a midnight show?" Xiang Huaqiang asked in surprise: "Do you want to screen it directly?" ”

Li Xuan shook his head and said slowly: "No, I want to have a movie premiere." ”

"Movie premieres?" Xiang Huaqiang shouted in astonishment.

couldn't help but be stunned, the previous Hong Kong films were basically held in a theater for a midnight test screening the weekend before the official screening of the film, and then revised according to the reaction of the audience. All of this is the commercial surname of Hong Kong films, and they are running for a better box office. Hong Kong's local film market is small, and no matter how good a film company is, it can't afford to lose a few times.

But movie premieres are different from midnight shows, even if they are a few days earlier than the official screening. But the premiere is the finished film, and like the film at the official screening, no changes will be made at all. And on the second day of the premiere, those film critics will still make film reviews, if the film is too bad and scolded, won't it be miserable when it is officially screened? At that time, it would be better to go straight to the official screening.

Therefore, although there have been movie premieres abroad for a long time, Hong Kong is still adhering to the midnight system. The guy in front of him is so confident in his new movie!

Li Xuan didn't care how stunned Xiang Huaqiang was, but smiled quite calmly: "Well, it's the movie premiere, but don't worry Brother Qiang, you can still send a few tickets to Brother Qiang when the time comes." (To be continued.) )
