Since Golden Harvest operated "Modern Bodyguard" and released it in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time, Zou Wenhuai fell in love with this trick. On the premise that the quality of the film is guaranteed, if the film can be sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time, it will have a huge impact on the promotion of the film in other cities.

Of course, the film was sold to Southeast Asia at the same time, and Golden Harvest is not yet able to do it.

However, although "Police Story" has no rivals in Hong Kong, it has several big enemies in Taiwan. The biggest difference between Taiwanese audiences and Hong Kong audiences is that the attitudes of the people of the two places towards Western films are completely different.

Hong Kong people don't pay much attention to Western films, and only occasionally one or two films shine in Hong Kong, and the others are mediocre. But Taiwanese people are different, they love to watch Western films very much, such as the "Tess of the D'Urbergs" that Li Xuan watched when he participated in the Academy Awards in March, such a tragic literary film was released in Taiwan in May. Although the film was only screened on 48 screens, the Tess girl still got a super high box office of 17 million Taiwan dollars after two consecutive months of screening.

No wonder Aunt Qiong's bitter literary film is so good at the box office in Taiwan......

This time in Taiwan's summer file, there are two powerful Western films released, one is "IQ IQ Zero Egg" released on July 11, this dark horse movie was introduced by several state-run theaters in Taiwan, and the number of screens has reached 141 screens, you must know that last year's Taiwan's box office champion "Cherry Blossom Love" only lined up 98 screens. This is more than half of the screens, and the box office performance of the movie will definitely not be bad, so "IQ IQ Zero Egg" got a super high box office of more than NT$9 million in the first week of its release.

However, long before the release of "IQ IQ Zero Egg", there was an even more powerful movie released, and that was "Superman 2". This superman occupied 105 screens and won more than 16 million Taiwan dollars at the box office in just half a month. If it weren't for the fact that the number of screens was less than that of "IQ IQ Zero Egg", the box office would definitely blow it up.

And the first to die under the attack of these two movies was "Book of Swords and Enmity" directed by Shaw Brothers Chu Yuan. Don't wonder why the movie has not been released in Hong Kong and Taiwan has been scheduled, Shaw Brothers often does this, such as "The Legend of the Heroes", which helped Di Long win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor nomination last year, which was released nearly a month earlier in Hong Kong.

It's a pity that Taiwanese audiences who have just experienced the baptism of the new martial arts movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" are no longer interested in the old-school martial arts movies of Shaw Brothers, and they have a choice of Western films that they like to watch more, so Chu Yuan, the 'tens of millions of directors', finally tasted the taste of defeat.

In the first week of its release in Taiwan, "Book of Swords and Enmity" only got a box office of NT$2.86 million, and even the theater bag did not earn back. As a result, two weeks after the emergency release, "Book of Swords and Enmity" was released because the box office was too poor. If it weren't for the fact that the movie was released in Shaw Brothers' own theaters, the 3.76 million Taiwan dollars would definitely be a big accompaniment.

In this case, "Police Story" landed on more than 70 screens of Golden Harvest and Cathay Pacific in Taiwan.

Of course, the box office results or something are all for later......

After the premiere in Taiwan, a group of people from the crew boarded two vans and headed to Zhongxiao East Road, not because the manager of Taiwan's Golden Harvest Cinema Line wanted to prepare a welcome dinner, but because Qin Xianglin invited them to dinner.

Li Xuan, who was quite a bit of a pain, only to find that Qin Xianglin was also sitting under the stage when he attended the Taipei premiere of the movie, and he was still sitting in the front row, which must have been someone in the crew who sent him an invitation. This person sent an invitation, how could Qin Xianglin, who was a righteous brother, not fulfill the friendship of the landlord and invite the righteous brother and their entire crew to dinner.

And so, the current scene happened.

Li Xuan was in the passenger seat of the van behind him, but his eyes were staring straight at the van in front of him, and Chenglong, Qin Xianglin, and a few people from the family class were sitting on it.

As for Li Xuan's van, there are Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Yuan Hua and Jiahe Guotai on this side of several high-level cinema executives. Originally, Qin Xianglin wanted to beckon Lin Qingxia to sit in his car, but Lin Qingxia refused without saying a word, and now she was sitting with Zhong Chuhong chattering about something.

The two cars traveled for about ten minutes and finally stopped in front of a restaurant called Huibin Building. This restaurant is similar to the heavenly kitchen, which is mainly Chinese style and decorated quite antique.

As long as there is no other Wang Yu! Li Xuan secretly spit out a bad sentence, and then followed everyone inside.

The group walked to the second floor, and as soon as the waiter pushed open the door of a private room, Li Xuan, who was walking behind, heard Qin Xianglin say, "Feng Jiao, you came so early." ”

"Brother Xianglin, are you praising me or hurting me?" A woman's coquettishness came from the private room.

As the woman's voice fell, everyone also walked into the private room, and after seeing the woman's appearance, Li Xuan quietly glanced at Chenglong and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Haha." Qin Xianglin laughed loudly, then pointed to the woman and said to everyone: "Now, I think both of you don't need to introduce more." ”

"No, no, hello Miss Lin!" Chenglong smiled and quickly stretched out his right hand.

"Hello Mr. Makoto, I love watching your movies." Lin Fengjiao stretched out her right hand and shook it back gently, and continued: "But because I was in a hurry to make a movie recently, I couldn't attend your movie premiere tonight, please forgive me." ”

"Ha, Miss Lin, you're welcome, I also like your movie." Chenglong replied a little stupidly.

The lineup in this private room is really strong! Li Xuan sighed in his heart, if there is another Qin Han, Taiwan's famous 'Erqin and Erlin' will all be alive.

With everyone's conversation, Li Xuan also nodded and said to Lin Fengjiao: "Good evening, Miss Lin, the contemptible person is Li ......."

"I know, Director Li Xuan." Lin Fengjiao generously stretched out her right hand and said, "When I was at the Golden Horse Awards last year, I saw Director Li. ”

"Well, it's not an honor." Li Xuan shook it back and said politely, "I don't know what good movies Miss Lin has been making recently?" ”

Lin Fengjiao replied quietly: ""Xinhai Double Ten", a movie co-produced by China Film and Shaw Brothers. ”

"That's right, two bigwigs in the film industry from Taiwan and Hong Kong cooperate." Li Xuan said in surprise: "Then I will wish Miss Lin a big hit in advance." ”

"Thank you."

"Okay, okay, everyone knows each other, sit down, and get ready for the table." Qin Xianglin glanced at Li Xuan with a strange expression, then sat down and continued to greet: "Come on, come on, everyone please take a seat, Ah Long is here, today I am here to wish Ah Long's new film a big hit in Taiwan!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Chenglong also sat down and replied loudly.

The next meal made Li Xuan uncomfortable for a while, Chenglong obviously said something to Qin Xianglin, and this guy looked at Li Xuan strangely all night. What made Li Xuan even more concerned was that this guy didn't do anything strange except for arranging Chenglong and Lin Fengjiao to sit together.

Just between Qin Xianglin and Lin Qingxia, there are still two people who are in the family class.

On the second day after the Taipei premiere of "Police Story", when the crew returned to Hong Kong, the actor of the movie, Chenglong, was missing from the crowd...... (To be continued.) )
