It seems that Zou Wenhuai lifted a stone and hit his feet this time.

The Golden Princess Cinema's ability to distribute in other cities has always been its shortcoming, and Zou Wenhuai gathered all the theater operators in other cities to hold a celebration banquet this time, and also showed off to invite Lei Juekun. If this surnamed Lei didn't bite off two pieces of fat, he wouldn't give up.

However, Li Xuan shrugged his shoulders, the more these theater companies fight, the better, and then we, the small production companies that are wholly owned, will take advantage.

Chenglong, as the director, starring and screenwriter of "Brother and Sister", is the first hero of the movie box office to break 10 million.

And Zou Wenhuai was much more stable, greeting guests everywhere with a glass of wine, contacting feelings, half a day has passed, and there is still more than half of the wine in the wine glass. He began to observe Lei Juekun from time to time, and it is estimated that he figured it out later, what can he do when he sees Lei Juekun digging the foot of the wall? and you can't cast him out. So, he took care of himself.

"Ah Xuan, should we go over and toast Ah Long?" Wang Jin asked while eating the fish balls in his mouth.

Li Xuan glanced at Hong Jingbao, who had a somewhat strange face next to him, and said with a casual smile: "No, we are so familiar with Ah Long, and we don't have a bad friendship with a glass of wine." ”

"Forehead......" Wang Jin glanced at Li Xuan strangely, when did we become very familiar with Ah Long?

Li Xuan ignored what Wang Jin thought, and ate the sea by himself, he rarely ate the authentic abalone and shark fin feast, so he should not treat himself badly.

But it didn't take long for Zou Wenhuai to come to Li Xuan's table with a wine glass.

"Uncle Huai, congratulations!" Li Xuan hurriedly stood up, raised his glass and smiled.

"Haha, Ah Xuan, I have to tell you this." Zou Wenhuai laughed and said happily: "Everyone, rejoice together!" ”

"......Forehead" Li Xuan was confused by these words for a while, but remembering his recent things related to Golden Harvest, Li Xuan's eyes lit up and asked: "Uncle Huai, is "Mr. Zombie" selling well in Taiwan?" ”

"Mr. Zombie" was released in Taiwan, and Li Xuan had no internal connections and was too lazy to go to Golden Harvest every week to ask about the box office, so in addition to knowing that this movie was selling well in Taiwan, he didn't know the specific box office figures at all. However, "Mr. Zombie" has been in theaters in Taiwan for three consecutive weeks, and if the box office was not good, it would have been withdrawn long ago.

"It's not just good, it's just good." Zou Wenhuai nodded slightly and responded: "Now the box office has 12 million New Taiwan dollars." Tsk, this result can be ranked in the top five of Taiwan's box office list last year. ”

"What!"

This exclamation was not made by Li Xuan, but by Hong Jingbao, who was standing on the side, inadvertently.

12 million New Taiwan dollars, equivalent to more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Although the money is small, it is in Taiwan, and it must not be easy to sell a movie with a box office of tens of millions in Taiwan. Why Chu Yuan can be so prosperous in Shaw Brothers, other directors have either declined or changed careers, and he is still making his martial arts films, because his movies can often sell tens of millions of box office in Taiwan, and he is also called "Chu Million".

But Liu Yiwei is not Chu Yuan, he is just a rookie director, and "Mr. Zombie" is not a martial arts film, but this can sell tens of millions of box office in Taiwan. Hong Jingbao suddenly thought of last year's "Scary People", which caused a boom in movie-watching, and still felt a sense of regret in his heart, if he hadn't pushed out this script and invested it himself, maybe his movie box office record could also break the 10 million mark in Hong Kong and catch up with his junior brother.

But now, this honor is no longer his own. Hong Jingbao felt a little sad, but if you think about it carefully, there is a good point, that is, the actors in it are all from the Hong family class, if the Hong Kong box office of the movie really exceeds 10 million, it can be regarded as a popular group of his juniors.

"Why, Sanmao was surprised, I was also shocked when I heard the results." Zou Wenhuai didn't know the inside story, but looked at Hong Jingbao and laughed, and continued to say to Li Xuan: "But I heard that the director of this play, Liu Yiwei, was injured while watching a movie in Taiwan?" ”

"Yes, but Uncle Huai, don't worry, Xi Wei's injury is fine" Li Xuan explained with a chuckle: "When the Hong Kong box office comes out, I will definitely seal a big red envelope for him." ”

"That's as it should be, by the way, "Mr. Zombie" will be at midnight on Sunday, and you must have done enough to promote it in advance." Zou Wenhuai said to himself.

"Haha, Uncle Huai, rest assured, this movie can exceed 10 million at the box office in Taiwan, even if you don't have a midnight show." Li Xuan said confidently.

"Not necessarily, don't be careless." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said solemnly: "Your ten 10 million in Taiwan are not as good as the five Hong Kong film critics who praised the movie in the newspaper." Therefore, the existence of the midnight show still has a certain intention. ”

"Well, Uncle Huai is right, I was too careless." Li Xuan thought about it and nodded to admit his mistake.

No matter how good Taiwan's box office is, it is separated by a sea, but the praise of film critics falls directly on the newspaper, and the audience is only separated by less than half a meter. The pros and cons between these can be seen at a glance.

"By the way, Uncle Huai, when is Yongsheng's movie scheduled to be released?" Li Xuan remembered the "King of Killers", which had also been suppressed for several months, and asked casually.

"Yongsheng? Oh, you said you helped Hua Qiang shoot it. Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then said with a smile: "On the third day of next month, I want to make the spring of the whole Hong Kong the world of Golden Harvest!" Haha......"

"Uncle Huai, have courage!" Li Xuan raised his wine glass with a smile and praised, but he was already scolded in his heart.

This is the difference between a son and a godson, a month before the release of "Senior Brother", Golden Harvest did not arrange any influential movie to be released, for fear of causing the audience's movie-watching boom in advance, resulting in the box office failure of "Senior Brother". Now it's the turn of Li Xuan's films from wholly-owned production companies, and they can't wait to finish all the releases at once, with a buffer period of less than a week between the two movies.

However, Li Xuan comforted himself that there was at least a one-week buffer period. is not like some movies, which were released at the same time as blockbusters, and they were completely accompanied, such as the unlucky Struggle Film Company.

Mai Jia and Shi Tian were very depressed at this time, even if their good friend Xu Ke had been talking to them next to them, they just echoed it, and they had no interest in talking.

Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming co-founded a struggle film company, and then the three of them worked together to make a movie called "Crazy Boss" a few years ago. They thought the movie was not bad, so they approached Golden Harvest, hoping to schedule a good release date.

Golden Harvest really arranged a good schedule for them, and it was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that is, on February 16th, which is a New Year's file! One of the most lucrative prime time slots for movies.

Of course, it would have been better if there had not been "Junior and Brother" released a week ago.

So "Crazy Boss" is a tragedy, the popularity is not as good as "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", the number of theaters is not as good as "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", and the painting was hurriedly drawn after 12 days of release, which was three days less than "Modern Dirty". But the more annoying thing is here, in the past 12 days, the box office of "Crazy Boss" has reached 3.12 million.

Mai Jia and the three of them were so angry that they vomited blood, if "Crazy Boss" was put on the New Year's file to be screened, would the box office have to be doubled? Golden Harvest doesn't bring such disgusting people!

They were already stabbed in the chest by Jiahe, and they were invited to participate in the celebration banquet of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", isn't this just another handful of salt sprinkled on their wounds, so angry that Huang Baiming directly said that he was sick and didn't come.

"Hey, why is this table so quiet?"

A male voice suddenly asked in Mai Jia's ear, and when she looked up, Mai Jia found that it was Lei Juekun, the owner of the Golden Princess Cinema Line that had recently made a lot of trouble in Hong Kong.

"Lei Xian......"

As soon as Mai Jia and Shi Tian were about to stand up and say hello, Lei Juekun pressed his hands and said, "Sit down, Boss Mai, let's all sit down and talk." After speaking, Lei Juekun pulled over an empty chair and sat down at Mai Jia's table.

Of course, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen didn't plan to stand up, they are now relying on Jiahe to make a living, and they should not be too close to Princess Jin.

"Boss Mai, I really like your movies." Lei Juekun sat down and said with a smile: "Like "Tiger Field Chicken", "Fighting for Life" and the recent "Crazy Boss", I have watched them all. ”

"Oh? Mai is here to thank Boss Lei for his love! Mai Jia touched her bald head and smiled.

"Haha, what's there to do with it." Lei Juekun asked tentatively: "The contemptible cinema line is created, it is exactly what needs ......."

"Ahem......"

Lei Juekun's words were interrupted, but it was Shi Tian who choked on the wine. Glancing at Shi Tian strangely, Lei Juekun was about to continue.

"Mai Lao ......"

"Boss Zou! Congratulations. Mai Jia suddenly stood up and said loudly behind Lei Juekun with a smile.

"Haha, rejoicing." Zou Wenhuai's voice came from far and near, and he continued with a little sarcasm: "Hey, I didn't expect Boss Lei to sit at this table." (To be continued.) )
