Chapter 91: Released in other cities
"Huh!"
With a soft thud, the white golf ball flew out in the air. Li Xuan raised his hand to shade the sun and looked at the spot where the ball fell. Unfortunately, the ball was obviously too forceful, flew over its head, and fell on the other side of the hole.
"Good shot." Zou Wenhuai clapped his hands and praised.
Is this still a good ball? Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Huai, are you praising me or hurting me?" ”
"Haha......" Zou Wenhuai laughed: "I only played my first shot in my forties, and when you reach my age, you must play better than me." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Xuan watched Zou Wenhuai put down a golf ball and said casually: "This ball is the same as making a movie, it is all about talent." I don't think I can play this with my athletic talent. ”
Zou Wenhuai squinted his eyes while aiming at the hole with a rod and said: "Then you should exercise, bask in the sun, step on the grass, and cultivate your family name, so that you can live a long time." ”
"That's what Uncle Huai said." Li Xuan nodded and responded: "It's time to exercise more, after sitting for nearly a month, my bones are crispy." ”
"Huh!"
As soon as Zou Wenhuai swung his club, the golf ball flew out. He didn't watch how the ball landed, and asked Li Xuan with a cue, "How about the movie you helped Yongsheng make?" ”
"I just finished it the day before yesterday, and I sent the copy to Brother Qiang in the later stage." Li Xuan thought for a while and replied in a deep voice: "Why, Brother Qiang hasn't been to Jiahe in the past two days?" ”
"No, I guess he also knows that it will be released a year ago, so he plans to wait first." Zou Wenhuai shook his head, turned around to look at Li Xuan's landing point, and slowly walked forward with his legs raised.
Li Xuan followed him with a club, looked at Hong Jingbao and Chenglong who were playing in the distance, and said with a smile as he walked: "Uncle Huai's record this time is not bad, Brother Sanmao defeated the Shaw Brothers." This is the upcoming New Year's file, with Aaron here, it will definitely win. ”
In the Christmas war, Hong Jingbao's "Lin Shirong" on Golden Harvest's side won 3.89 million box office in 15 days after its release. and "**Jade" directed by Shaw Brothers Li Hanxiang only got 1.61 million box office in 10 days of release. The two films were drawn at about the same time, and it was clear that Shaw Brothers had lost again.
"Hehe, although I won the Christmas stall, I still can't be careless about Shaw Brothers." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Shao Tycoon, that person, is still very methodical. ”
Although Zou Wenhuai said modestly, the joy on his face let people know how much moisture he had in his words.
It was only ten days after New Year's Day, and Zou Wenhuai began to invite the heads of some satellite companies and reading cooperation companies to contact each other, but they were all invited separately. Li Xuan, Hong Jingbao, and Chenglong were familiar with each other, so they were taken into it and came out to eat and drink together.
The golf course, on the other hand, is a good place to eat after a meal and continue to connect with each other.
"Shaw Brothers, I feel a little bit like Bo Xishan." Li Xuan sighed and said.
Zou Wenhuai paused when he heard this, but he reacted instantly, pointing to Li Xuan's golf ball on the grass as he walked and said with a smile: "Don't say this, don't say this, play ball!" ”
Looking at the small white ball on the grass, Li Xuan handed the club to Zhong Chuhong and shook his head at the golf ball.
"Let me come?" Zhong Chuhong asked with a glare.
"Hmm."
Li Xuan nodded and watched Zhong Chuhong take the cue in his hand.
Zou Wenhuai on the side smiled and said nothing, while Zhong Chuhong held the club, posed, gestured a few times in a row, and then waved it gently.
"Huh!"
The ball still didn't go into the hole, but this shot was obviously better than Li Xuan, and the small white ball was only two or three meters away from the hole.
"Good shot!"
Zou Wenhuai praised again, but the tone was obviously heavier than praising Li Xuan, which showed that this was really a good ball. Li Xuan also nodded beside him, Zhong Xiaoniu's telekinesis talent is still good.
"Thank you!" Zhong Chuhong replied with a smile.
"It seems that if I want to win you today, I have to get some real skills." Zou Wenhuai replied with a smile, turned around and paced towards his golf ball, while Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong slowly followed behind Zou Wenhuai.
"I look before I play each ball to see if there's any wind, to see how far the hole is, and then I swing it so that I can play more accurately." Zou Wenhuai found his golf ball and stroked it a few times before he said slowly.
But he didn't wait for Li Xuan to reply.
"Huh!"
The golf ball flew out, and Li Xuan squinted at the flying white ball and landed less than a meter from the hole.
"Good shot!" ”
This time, it was Li Xuanxian who couldn't help but praise.
"You don't know if the ball is good or not, girl, it's your turn." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said.
"Uncle Huai, just wait!" Zhong Chuhong also replied arrogantly. After saying a word, without waiting for Zou Wenhuai to reply, Zhong Chuhong turned around and walked towards his ball.
"Haha......"
Zou Wenhuai burst into laughter, Li Xuan also chuckled and shook his head, and the two slowly followed.
"That's right, Ah Xuan." Zou Wenhuai took the club in his hand and passed it twice like a young man, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Are you interested in sending "Mr. Zombie" to the stage during the Chinese New Year?" b. Release? ”
Sending "Mr. Zombie" to Taiwan? b. Release? Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, is this going to be released in other cities first?
It is not without precedent for a movie to be released in a foreign city. For example, Hu Jinquan's "Empty Mountain Spiritual Rain" was first in Taiwan? It was only released in Hong Kong after it was released. At this time, the local box office in Hong Kong is more of a kind of publicity for the movie. If a movie sells well in Hong Kong, theaters and studios from other cities will come to the door with checks to buy copies. Of course, if you lose money in Hong Kong, then there is nothing to say.
For a film that has not been tested by the Hong Kong market, the distributor must have a lot of confidence to dare to sell it in other cities, knowing that the film protection policies in various regions of other cities are not vegetarian. For example, Wang Jin's "The King of a Thousand Kings" is now being screened in Nanyang, but Jiahe just didn't release this movie to Taiwan? b. The intention to go. Because judging from Hong Kong's results, this movie has won the current economic recession? b. Go, it will definitely lose money.
Li Xuan frowned and looked at Zou Wenhuai, what happened?
Seeing Li Xuan's puzzled eyes, Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "It's not a bunch of troubles caused by the Beautiful Island incident. ”
It turned out that "Beautiful Island" was causing trouble, and Li Xuan sighed when he heard this.
On June 2, 1979, a magazine called "Beautiful Island" appeared in Taiwan? The North was founded. What is the scope of this magazine? Non-party personages of various factions in the Bay are the strongholds of non-party personages of the Democratic Party.
This magazine has grown all the way, and by the time it reached November, the magazine "Beautiful Island", which had been published for less than half a year, had a circulation of more than 80,000 copies. b. The influence is very large.
Finally, on December 10, 1979, the day of the world's international human rights policy, the magazine "Beautiful Island", with non-party personages of the Kuomintang as the core, organized thousands of people to march to demand freedom and freedom. I didn't want violent clashes to break out in the meantime, and finally ended in a comprehensive crackdown by the military and police sent by the political axe. This is since the "228 Incident" in 1947. One of the largest conflicts between the government and the people in the Bay is known as the "Beautiful Island Incident".
Now a month has passed since the incident, but things are still fermenting, and news of new arrests is coming every day.
With such a big scandal, the KMT naturally has to struggle to exonerate itself. Song Chuyu, who was the director of the Information Bureau at the time, played the role of the spokesman for the political axe, and through some means, he successfully controlled the media at home and abroad, packaged the political axe as a victim, and won widespread sympathy.
In the face of the slogan of seeking ** and freedom played by "Beautiful Island", the political axe must fight back first. Soong's first move was to open up media freedom. One of the best news for the Hong Kong film industry is that the censorship system for films is much more relaxed. But the change of these systems against Taiwan? Most of the local literary films in Bay have little influence and can hardly be seen, so Song Chuyu set his sights on Hong Kong, hoping that the film companies here can send a few ghost or supernatural movies.
So, there was Zou Wenhuai's question to Li Xuan.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Li Xuan was a little relieved, looked at Zou Wenhuai and said, "Then Uncle Huai, you can do it, I will give you full responsibility for it." ”
The last time "Scary" was in Taiwan? There is not a single bubble in the bay, and this time in "Mr. Zombie", Li Xuan does not have much hope, especially in such a sensitive period. It's just that don't lose money.
"That's okay, I'll tell Yongchang to do it when I go back." Zou Wenhuai nodded, then looked at Zhong Chuhong, who was still playing a golf ball in front of him, and shouted: "Little girl, can you do it?" ”
Glancing at Zou Wenhuai, who was walking towards Zhong Chuhong, Li Xuan looked up at the north again.
This is the Fanling Golf Course in Fanling Kwu Tung, New Territories, less than four kilometres north of it is the Sham Chung Special Economic Zone. (To be continued.) )
