In the New Year's file of 1983, the two old movie giants of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest became a big joke!

One is a sparsely filmed science fiction film, and the other is a sparsely filmed fantasy film, these two difficult brothers have received bad reviews from many film critics in Hong Kong, and the audience has also given these two brothers a lot of face, and as a result, the New Year's file "Best Partner: The Great Miracle" is outstanding.

"The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" only received a box office of 570,000 Hong Kong dollars on the first day of release, and then the audience scolded and the attendance rate also swished down, and it fell to about sixty percent the next day, which was a big failure.

As for Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Tire", it is not much better, because the theaters support it across the board, so this and surprisingly sci-fi film got a box office of 5.73 million Hong Kong dollars within three days of its release, and then ......

Then the movie suffered a collective ticket refund from the audience, and finally "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was drawn!

Shao Yifu estimated that he couldn't stand being scolded by film critics and audiences, and he still had to save face, so "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was hurriedly painted only 3 days after its release, breaking the Shaw Brothers record for the shortest release.

Anyway, the investment in "Interstellar Blunt Tire" is not large, plus the investment was slashed several times by Fang Yihua, and the harvest of 5.73 million is already considered to be earned, so why let it stay on the screen and be scolded.

But Zou Wenhuai is not so generous, "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" really made him invest 20 million, wouldn't it be too faceless to go offline like this. As a result, this Zou tycoon dragged "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" in the theater for 27 days, and the most popular box office was also very scary, reaching 1.68 million Hong Kong dollars.

I'll it! Zou Wenhuai's face was lost by Xu Ke now.

On the other hand, "The Best Partner's Great Miracle", which was released at the same time as "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", although it was Teddy? Luo Bin, a half-baked director, directed it, but this comedy was originally won by the plot, so it received 23 million Hong Kong dollars after 27 days of release, which is 13 times that of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman".

Lei Juekun laughed crazy, he lifted Xu Ke really his lucky general, so when Xu Ke ran back to Xinyi City in disgrace next, he didn't pursue it.

Who let Xu Ke toss this time, so that Princess Jin finally won the first place in the New Year's file.

What Zou Wenhuai thought at that time Li Xuan didn't know, but He Yichang, the second-in-command of Golden Harvest, found Li Xuan two weeks after the release of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan".

"Uncle Chang, rare guest, why did you come to my small company today?" Li Xuan made the kung fu tea in his hand while looking at He Xichang who was sitting on the sofa on the other side and smiled.

"When I'm older, I can't sit still and want to move around all the time." He Qichang replied slowly.

"Oh? You've gotten far enough. ”

"Haha, Ah Xuan, these two months are the most dazzling for your company." He Yichang shook his head lightly and continued: "What's the matter, can't I come in and drink a cup of tea?" ”

"Why, I'm pouring tea for you, please, drink tea!" Li Xuan poured a cup of tea for He Yichang and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that the box office of 30 million has not been broken." ”

"Hey, you kid." He Yichang put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "With a box office of 29 million, I don't dare to say what will happen next, but it is also unprecedented." ”

"That's right, Uncle Chang." Li Xuan paused and asked, "I wonder how the preparations for the overseas release of "Hero Ben Sè" are?" ”

He Xichang replied: "I knew you would ask this, don't worry, it's all arranged, but I didn't expect the Korean side to be very positive about your movie this time, but it was beyond our expectations." ”

"Hehe, Ah Fa is still very influential in South Korea." Li Xuan smiled deliberately.

"Hey—"

He Yichang suddenly sighed and said, "This time, we Jiahe have lost our eyes, and we actually let you dig up such a good treasure." ”

Li Xuan smiled and replied: "Uncle Chang, this hat can't be buttoned randomly, Wu Yusen didn't dig it up by me, it was you who picked it up when you didn't want it." ”

"Haha, you kid doesn't want to eat at all." He Yichang pointed at Li Xuan and said with a smile.

"Uncle Chang, I can't eat these losses." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders, added tea to He Yichang, and continued: "Okay, Uncle Chang, when you come to the shop today, just say it directly." ”

He Yichang shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't hide it, Ah Xuan, I remember that you said that you wanted to make "Jǐng Cha Story" into a series? ”

"Well, that's what I thought in the first place." Li Xuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "What, does Golden Harvest want to start filming the second part?" ”

He Yichang nodded, took another sip of tea and said: "There is such an idea, I think you have also seen the situation of today's New Year's stalls, Ah Xuan, we Jiahe can't do it if we don't exert our strength." ”

"That's ......"

Li Xuan suddenly sat up straight, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly asked, "Uncle Chang, what do you think of me selling all the copyrights of "Jǐng Cha Story" to Jiahe, and I can also attach the general idea of the next two, three, or four sequels." ”

"What!" He Yichang was stunned.

Li Xuan smiled: "It's just to sell the copyright of "Jǐng Cha Story", I don't want to shoot this anymore." ”

"Wait, wait!" He Yichang rubbed his forehead and asked with some doubts: "How can you have such an idea, you must know ......"

"I also know that 'Jǐng Cha Story' is very profitable, but it's too scary to make a film with Ah Long." Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and explained, "If I keep worrying like this, I can't stand it, so I might as well just sell it to you Jiahe." ”

Li Xuan sold the copyright of "Jǐng Cha Story", partly because he was too tired to shoot with Chenglong, but more importantly, he was about to plan to set up his own cinema chain, and Jiahe would definitely have opinions about him at that time, Chenglong has always been loyal to Jiahe, and it is estimated that the sequel to "Jǐng Cha Story" will come to naught, and a bunch of money that can be obtained in the future will definitely be wasted.

It's better to sell it now and get a sum of money to buy a few more theaters.

As for whether the 'Five Lucky Star Series' is sold or not? Please, if Hong Jingbao is loyal to Golden Harvest, there will be no Debao Cinema in the future, and this series is better to keep in his own hands.

"But there's no need to sell it, right?" He Xichang said: "Wouldn't it be more secure for us to invest together? You'll make more money then. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said: "At that time, I will make more money, but there are opportunities to make money everywhere, but stock market crashes are not encountered every day." ”

"Huh? Ah Xuan, what are you going to do? He Yichang asked in surprise.

Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Hoarding land." ”

Li Xuan is really right about this, he does plan to hoard land, as for why there are just so many theaters on the ground, there is no need to elaborate.

"Do you want to do real estate?" He Yichang was stunned and said: "Ah Xuan, you have to think clearly, the world is so chaotic now, if you lose it, you will be destitute." ”

"Uncle Chang, someone said this to me a long time ago." Li Xuan leaned back on the sofa and said leisurely: "But I'm not alive and well now, don't worry." ”

“……”

He Xichang was silent for a while, and only after half a sound did he ask, "Then how much are you going to sell?" ”

Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "I just said that there are three sequels like two, three, four, since Uncle Huai and Uncle Chang take care of me so much, then it will be 15 million for one episode, a total of 45 million." ”

"This ......" He Xichang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Isn't it too expensive?" ”

"Uncle Chang, do you think 45 million Hong Kong dollars is really expensive?" Li Xuan said in surprise: "I still think it's cheap, you think about the Hong Kong box office of "Jǐng Cha Story", think about its Asian box office, and most importantly, think about his North American box office, you must know that this movie has successfully entered North America, and all its copyrights add up to 20 million US dollars, which is not expensive!" 45 million Hong Kong dollars is really a super low friendship price, Uncle Chang. ”

After listening to Li Xuan's words, He Xichang was silent, the copyright of "Jǐng Cha Story" is indeed very cheap to package and sell for 45 million Hong Kong dollars, but spending 45 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the copyright of a movie is not a matter of saying and doing it for Golden Harvest.

"This, you wait, I have to go back and discuss it with the senior management of Golden Harvest." He Xichang said hesitantly.

Li Xuan poured out the slightly cold cup of tea in front of He Yichang, filled him with hot tea, and then smiled: "Then I'll wait for good news, Uncle Chang!" ”

Just when "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" was painted at an amazing box office, good news finally came from Golden Harvest, which purchased the entire copyright of "Jǐng Cha Story" for 45 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the Hong Kong box office share of "Hero Ben Sè", Li Xuan received a total of 56 million Hong Kong dollars.

Now, he can buy a few more theaters.

(Note: "Interstellar Blunt Tire" was indeed only released for three days, a god film.) ）
