Chapter 69: Dark Horse

Oops!

Seeing Zhong Chuhong's stunned appearance, Li Xuan's heart tightened, Li Xuan hadn't told her about the 3.5 million investment.

"That ......, you still have a big bag of tapes over there, I'll move it for you!" Wang Jin saw that the situation was not good, so he picked up his feet and ran away.

Li Xuan slowly put down the piano parts in his hand, looked at Zhong Chuhong and said cowardly: "Wife, listen to me, that three and a half million ......"

"What I hear you say, you are in charge of your own business! Where's the broom? Zhong Chuhong glanced at Li Xuan fiercely and asked directly.

"Huh?" Li Xuan didn't react for a moment, and paused for two seconds before pointing to the kitchen and saying, "It seems to be in the kitchen." ”

Zhong Chuhong didn't say much, went directly to the kitchen, got tools, and began to clean the broken flower pots.

However, the calmer this chick was, the more nervous Li Xuan became.

"Well, you don't blame me?" Li Xuan asked worriedly.

"What are you blaming for? Is it strange that you can still get the money back? Zhong Chuhong asked rhetorically.

"Well, I can't ......"

found a plastic bag, Zhong Chuhong put the spider plant and soil into it, carefully tied the pocket, Zhong Chuhong asked, "What kind of film is Liu Yiwei going to make?" Asking for so much money? ”

"The movie is called "Mr. Zombie", which is similar to "Scary" as a psychedelic kung fu movie." Li Xuan gradually said with a relaxed heart.

"Psychedelic kung fu movies?" Zhong Chuhong was surprised by the new name, but then asked: "Then you don't need so much money, except for Brother Sanmao's salary, "Scary" only used more than 800,000 yuan." ”

"I looked at the script, and this time it seems that I will use a lot of special effects models, so I need to invest more." Li Xuan secretly screamed a fluke, and accidentally said the words of the future again.

"Special effects model? That's a lot of money. Zhong Chuhong nodded after listening, understanding Li Xuan's words. This special effects model is indeed very expensive, just like the three bad special effects models at the end of "Scary", each of which cost 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to invite a lot of tricks and starlets.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will be the producer, follow them every day, and keep them from spending money indiscriminately!" Li Xuan hurriedly began to make a guarantee.

"Hmph, you're amazing!" Zhong Chuhong snorted coldly, turned his head and said, "By the way, someone asked me to film, do you think I should shoot or not?" ”

"Looking for you to film?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

"Hmm!"

"What company?"

Zhong Chuhong thought for a while and said: "Luo Wei Pictures, after reading the script, what is it called "Kicking the Hall". ”

"Luo Wei?" Li Xuan muttered, shook his head and said, "Don't go, as soon as you hear the name, it's a kung fu movie that follows the trend, and it's better to have a lack than to overuse." Wait a few days, and you'll be busy. ”

"I'm busy?" Zhong Chuhong asked in surprise.

"Well, wife, when Wang Fatzi's "King of a Thousand Kings" starts, you can help me be the producer." Li Xuan said slowly.

"Producer? I won't! ”

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to know anything else, you just need to take care of the money bag, and the fat man can take care of other things." ”

"Oh......" Zhong Chuhong nodded as if he didn't understand.

A storm that was not a storm quietly subsided like this, and Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. However, before he could finish that breath, Wang Jin stared at Li Xuan again, making him feel uneasy for a moment.

"What are you going to do with 500,000 yuan? One million isn't enough, isn't it? Li Xuan moved the position of the sofa and asked angrily.

"Of course not enough!" Wang Jin stood aside and said eloquently: "One yuan dart, the salary will go to 150,000, and you also invited Cao Dahua to make a cameo, and now it has gone tens of thousands." I haven't invited the protagonist and the villain yet, how much money do you have left? ”

"Uh......" Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, so the money was really not much. However, Li Xuan still asked, "Then who are you going to invite the protagonist?" ”

"A thousand kings? I'm going to ask for a thank you. Wang Jin said.

"He's not ......, uh, he didn't sign Shaw?" Li Xuan almost mixed up both wireless and Shaw Brothers again.

"Nope." Wang Jin replied: "Since his own film company closed down a few years ago, he has been a free agent. ”

"If you ask him, then your one million is really not enough." Li Xuan nodded and said.

Xie Xian was a popular student in Hong Kong in the sixties and seventies, and he has been acting in movies since 1954, and he is popular all over Hong Kong and Taiwan. Especially when Li Xuan met Wang Tianlin for the first time last year, the TV series "Xiao Shiyi Lang" starring Xie Xian was rated by Changhong, and this guy became the dream lover of many Hong Kong women. However, if Wang Jin uses him as the starring role, at least the box office should be somewhat guaranteed.

"But is 500,000 enough to ask him?" Li Xuan asked suspiciously.

"Enough! Two or three hundred thousand, I estimate it is enough. Wang Jin said triumphantly: "Just by virtue of my father's friendship with him, plus he has just gotten married in his forties, and now he is in a hurry to have a child, and he is preparing to desperately earn milk powder money." ”

Having children? Li Xuan was distracted for a while, Xie Xian, this guy's first child, isn't it Xie Tingfeng, is that guy going to come out so soon?

"Hey, hey! Xuan Zai! ”

"Huh? What the? Wang Jin's series of questions summoned Li Xuan back from his fugue.

"What about you, can you add another 500,000?" Wang Jin said angrily.

Li Xuan nodded: "Okay, but the box office share can only give you six percent." ”

"Uh......" Now it was Wang Jin's turn to be stunned, and Wang Jin nodded and gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes!" ”

No matter how Li Xuan and Wang Jin are there for the profits of the new film, the box office of "Scary" is still soaring there.

After the second week, the cumulative box office of "Scary" reached 6.06 million, fully demonstrating people's love for this new genre of comedy.

However, the violently declining box office also shows that the film's stamina is insufficient. Half a month after the release of the movie, Golden Harvest also began to gradually reduce the number of screenings of the movie.

Finally, 21 days after its release, "Scary" was drawn offline, with a total box office of 7.68 million in Hong Kong, becoming a veritable box office dark horse, ranking fourth in the total box office list of Hong Kong films, and only 20,000 yuan behind the box office of "Pretty Detective Girl" in third place!

This made Wang Jin, who did not get the third place, lament for several days, which provoked Li Xuan's contempt.

However, if nothing else, Li Xuan can be sure that this film should become the No. 1 box office of the year this year! The New Year has passed, the summer season is coming to an end, and the Christmas file is hardly a battlefield for boutique movies. Therefore, unless a second time-traveler comes out, or the Christmas files Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will throw out the boutique movies prepared by both parties for the New Year. Otherwise, this year's No. 1 box office throne, "Scary" is seated!

The day after the screening of "Scary", Hong Kong newspapers began to report on the incident. How can a new genre movie, a little-known small company, a director who has never made a movie, actually make a movie with a box office of seven million, how can it not arouse people's curiosity.

There are no paparazzi in this era, and it is still an era when celebrities can run around. Li Xuan, who thought that he could live quietly, still underestimated the pervasiveness of reporters.

Not only was Wang Jin the son of the great director Wang Tianlin exposed, but in the blink of an eye, Li Xuan, the owner of a small film company, was also blown clean!

These breaking news suddenly detonated the whole of Hong Kong!

What Li Xuan turned out to be a mainland boy, and he was penniless when he came to Hong Kong!

What Li Xuan has only been in Hong Kong for less than half a year, and he serialized a best-selling novel "Kunlun" in Ming Pao, especially the TV series adapted from this novel has recently received Changhong.

What Li Xuan wrote, directed, and acted in the first movie, which was the movie "Curse" that scared many people at the beginning of the year.

What Li Xuan has turned from a penniless sea swimmer to a multimillionaire in just one year.

There are also many media who have given Li Xuanan the title of "Xiao Ni Frame"! Who called Li Xuan's experience is so similar to Ni Frame, they are both famous for writing novels, and they both reached out later to enter the film and television industry.

However, Li Xuan, who was looking at the newspaper, sighed.

For the title of "Little Ni Frame", buddy really doesn't like it very much. What kind of person is this Ni Frame, Li Xuan has read one of his comments in later generations, but he doesn't remember anything else, but he has a deep memory of the word "ball annihilation".

Such a person who casually writes about the protagonist in the novel to help the aliens deal with the earthlings, it is strange that Li Xuan can like it!
