Chapter 206: Press Conference
"Director Xiao Jian's new film, I decided to spend 15 million to remake "The True Color of Heroes" directed by Long Gang, we will see you at Christmas, looking forward to your arrival."
"Director Xiao Jian's new work, "The True Colors of Heroes" will be launched in three days, and the protagonists will return to the stage at that time, looking forward to it."
"The summer file has just passed, the Christmas file has not arrived, the smell of gunpowder has been filled, and the war is about to break out, and the Christmas movie has been decided by Golden Harvest and New Art City, and the director of Shaw Brothers Xiao Jian also announced the Christmas movie "The True Colors of Heroes".
…….
After finalizing the protagonist, after leaving the café, the Xiao family released the news, and in the following three days, all the newspapers and entertainment pages were in a hurry, and Xiao Jian was undoubtedly at the center of public opinion again.
In just three days, Xiao Jian's exposure rate made 99% of Hong Kong's celebrities jealous, and he casually opened a newspaper to ensure that there was a report on him, and this exposure rate was really the best in Hong Kong.
And when there was a hustle and bustle outside, Xiao Jian didn't wait long, and Fang Yihua personally called to discuss the investment of "The True Color of Heroes".
This time, with the results of the previous films, the two sides did not argue too much, and quickly negotiated their respective investment ratios, of course, because of the growth of fame and status, this time Xiao Jian has obtained a lot more benefits than before.
In fact, things have developed so far, both Xiao Jian and Run Run Shaw know in their hearts, what the two are grabbing now is time, and what they lack is time.
Although the Shaw Brothers are now in full swing, beating Golden Harvest and New Art City, the shortcomings are also very obvious, only Xiao Jian is the director, and Wang Jing... The director is not mature enough, lacks a commercial director to compete for the box office, and sold the theater chain in his hand to Yongsheng before, although there is a contract for joint release, it will inevitably hurt his muscles and bones.
Besides, if the movie doesn't get a good box office, Yongsheng won't lose money with Shaw Brothers, and it is estimated that it will be able to do such a thing as introducing films from Golden Harvest and New Art City.
Therefore, although Run Run Shaw is very eyed by the gold-absorbing ability of the Xiao Sword and wants to completely control it in his own hands, but because of the situation of the Shaw Brothers, the Xiao Sword cannot be missing, so he forcibly suppresses it, and when the Shaw Brothers is on the right track, it is the time for him to show his fangs.
And now that he doesn't have everything, he must rely on Xiao Jian, and he can't force Xiao Jian away, but now this situation of being weak and strong will not last long, and Run Run Shaw can't let this situation last too long.
And Xiao Jian is now trying to accumulate enough bargaining chips for himself to talk to him, make him pay attention to, and even force him to compromise before Run Run Shaw starts, but the Crazy Boy series alone can only let him talk to the other party, and after filming "Mr. Zombie" to prove that he can not only shoot the Crazy Boy series, he can already make the other party pay attention.
It's just that this is not enough, at least to complete his plan, it is not enough to make the other party pay attention to it, so he decided to shoot "The True Color of Heroes".
As long as he can win the ticket seller championship again with "The True Colors of Heroes" in this Christmas fight, then with the "Mr. Zombie" and "True Colors of Heroes" series, as well as the box office money-attracting ability he has shown, he will be able to make Run Run Shaw compromise and complete his plan.
It can be said that the success or failure of Xiao Jian lies in this Christmas file, and whether it is a victory or a failure depends on the results of "The True Color of Heroes".
If he fails this time, although Xiao Jian will not hurt his muscles and bones, it will undoubtedly be very difficult to complete his plan, and it will even make all his plans in the past two years come to naught.
Therefore, he is going to decide the box office champion of the Christmas stalls this time.
………
In an instant, three days passed in a flash, and Xiao Jianding's press conference at Shaw Brothers Cinemas was also held as scheduled, and dozens of reporters gathered at the press conference, including not only Hong Kong reporters, but also many reporters from Southeast Asian countries.
In addition to reporters, friends in the Xiaojian circle, as well as TVB and Shaw Brothers also had many actors come to cheer, and Fang Yihua also attended the press conference on behalf of Run Run Shaw, which made the press conference of "The True Color of Heroes" more and more huge.
Looking at the crowded press conference, although Xiao Jian was still calm, the glittering light in his eyes showed that he was not calm in his heart.
This time the Christmas file is too important for him, although it can't be said that the winner is the prince and the loser, but it is not much worse, and what he has done these days he believes that the old fox-like Shaw will definitely find something, although he is not sure whether the other party will secretly interfere with him, but it is certain that he will be held back.
The success of "The True Color of Heroes" is very important to Xiao Jian, but the success of a movie, a Christmas box office champion is not so important to Run Shaw or Shaw Brothers, as long as the other party discovers his purpose, then the other party's experience will never lose some trivial benefits to disrupt his plan, so as to subdue him.
And with Run Run Shaw's old fox-like wisdom and decades of experience, Xiao Jian no longer has any hope that the other party will not be able to discover his goals, so he can only rely on himself for this Christmas file, and cannot rely on Shaw Brothers and TVB.
It is precisely based on these considerations that he decided to hold as much as he could at this press conference, in order to promote "The True Colors of Heroes", since the other party is no longer reliable, he will naturally not continue to fake his hands for a movie.
And the promotion of "The True Color of Heroes" has started three days ago, and the current press conference is just the first publicity he has prepared.
"Whew..." took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, relaxed his mood, Xiao Jian turned his head and ordered, "Let's start." ”
"The worship ceremony of "The True Color of Heroes" begins now!"
With the voice of the assistant director resounding throughout the audience, the hustle and bustle of the scene slowly calmed down, and under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Jian also stepped forward to worship God first, and Fang Yihua, who came on behalf of Run Run Shaw, followed closely behind.
Glancing at Xiao Jian's back, and turning around, Fang Yihua couldn't help but recall what Run Shaw had said to her before coming here while worshipping God.
"This time, you don't have to pay attention to it too much, just observe carefully, and then come back and tell me a qiē."
"Why?"
"This little guy has been moving too much in the past six months, I'm afraid his plans are not small."
……
After worshipping God, his eyes swept over the Xiao Jian beside him, and Fang Yihua's eyes couldn't help but squint subconsciously: "Just let me see what you are thinking." (To be continued.) )
