Zou Wen pinched his chin in his arms and paced back and forth in his desk. ¤ Title Novel, x.

"First use negative news to hype up your reputation, and then make a Jedi comeback, this trick was used before the broadcast of "Tomb Robbery Notes" radio drama and "Chu Liuxiang", and it is exactly the same technique as this time...... You think we're not going to shoot that kid again, are we? ”

He Guanchang thought to himself: Isn't this an obvious thing? But saying this must have embarrassed Zou Wenhuai, so he chose to change the subject.

"Even if we don't make a move, we will secretly reveal the news to the media, compared to this, I am more curious about why this movie is a big hit, I heard that the pre-sale box office for three consecutive days has exceeded 2 million, but the Oriental Cinema Line still continues to maintain the current screening scale, and I heard that the theater managers below have collectively 'rebelled' and have been suppressed, which is really incomprehensible."

"The movie "Shaolin Temple" WWW.UUXS.CC has too many success factors that are difficult to replicate, such as the first film in the mainland to be released in Hong Kong, so the more you can't get it, the better, Lin Xi is not pressing to expand the scale of screening, it should be the idea of this aspect."

He Guanchang sighed slightly in his heart after hearing this, if it is really as Zou Wenhuai said, the final box office of "Shaolin Temple" is estimated to surprise many people.

"Why did all the good things happen to this kid?"

He Guanchang said in a sour tone, and Zou Wenhuai didn't say anything after listening to it.

In fact, before Great Wall Film and Television cooperated with Oriental Cinemas, they first approached Golden Harvest, but was rejected by Zou Wenhuai.

First, it is because of the fact that the mainland cannot make any good movies; Second, they are also concerned about the Taiwan authorities and lose this important foreign market.

I thought that what was pushed to Lin Xi was a hot potato. Unexpectedly, when it came to him, it turned into a golden rooster that laid eggs, which made Zou Wenhuai not depressed.

Seeing Zou Wenhuai's expression. He Guanchang decisively stopped the topic.

In fact, aside from publicity techniques and marketing methods, the movie "Shaolin Temple" itself also has a lot of merits. Not to mention anything else, at least Shaolin-themed martial arts films should set off a trend, should we make some arrangements in advance in this regard? ”

Follow the trend and snap a shot? To be honest, Zou Wenhuai was a little disdainful of this, but the current shape made him hesitate a little.

If Golden Harvest doesn't shoot, other film companies will still shoot, which is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to make money to others.

Although Zou Wenhuai has great ambitions in movies, he is still a businessman in the final analysis, and he naturally wants to focus on profits.

"It's not so easy to follow the trend, and the most feared thing is to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog. Instead, he smashed his own signboard. ”

He Guanchang nodded, and Zou Wenhuai said that this was indeed a problem.

Golden Harvest is no better than other small companies, smashing up to cause a little financial loss, for Golden Harvest this is a trivial matter, the most afraid is to affect the company's reputation.

Especially at present, Lin Xi's Oriental Film and Television is rising strongly, and the new art city controlled by Princess Jin is eyeing it, if Jiahe makes a mistake at this time, it is equivalent to giving the opponent the opportunity to step on his own position.

"Then let's stay still for a while, and let those small companies test the waters. If the market is okay, it's never too late for us to follow up. ”

He Guanchang proposed a compromise in Jianyì.

Zou Wenhuai nodded silently, thinking that this was the only way to do it now.

At this moment, Zou Wenhuai's secretary pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. Zou. Director Luo Wei is outside, saying that he has something important to see you. ”

Hearing this, He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai's faces changed color. He Guanchang even glanced at Zou Wenhuai with a dark and strange look.

A while ago, Luo Wei and his second wife Liu Lianghua divorced, and the outside world thought that it was caused by the breakdown of their relationship. But some people within Golden Harvest know that this is because Liu Lianghua and Zou Wenhuai came together.

In 1970, Zou Wenhuai left Shaw Brothers. set up his own door to be a film company, and was named "Golden Harvest" by Taiwan's great director Hu Jinquan, but in order to confront Shaw Brothers, Zou Wenhuai poached Luo Wei, Wang Yu, and Xu Zenghong from Shaw Brothers Several directors and stars with box office appeal, but unfortunately a "One-Armed Knife vs. Blind Man" let Shao Yifu catch the handle, and several lawsuits were fought, Peter Wang Yu and Xu Zenghong could not make films in Hong Kong publicly, so they could only avoid Taiwan, and Golden Harvest only left Luo Wei to support the table.

Luo Wei was a "million director" on the same level as Zhang Che at that time, but most of the ingredients of fame luck were the same, and he had not yet come out when he was in Shaw Brothers, and his original form was revealed as soon as he jumped to Golden Harvest.

In 1971, Luo Wei helped Jiahe make two movies in a row, but the box office did not exceed one million, and Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang realized that what they had dug up was actually a "parallel import", and they no longer paid attention to it.

If Luo Wei is a person, although his talent for making movies is limited, his luck is too good.

Golden Harvest invited Bruce Lee back from the United States to film, the first movie "Tangshan Big Brother" was filmed in Thailand, director Wu Jiaxiang was not famous, and secondly, he was not good at kung fu martial arts themes, and it was difficult to continue halfway through the filming, Golden Harvest had no one in his hands at the time, so he had to let Luo Wei go to the rescue, and as a result, the box office of this movie exceeded 3 million, setting a new record in Hong Kong.

Bruce Lee became famous in one fell swoop, and Luo Wei also followed suit.

Originally, Luo Wei wanted to call himself "the mentor who made Bruce Lee", but Bruce Lee didn't buy his account at all, and kicked Luo Wei away when he filmed the second movie "Raptors Across the River" and became his own director.

In the end, it turned out that Bruce Lee without Luo Wei was more successful, and without Luo Wei Bruce Lee, only "Cold Face Tiger" with veteran Wang Yu did well at the box office, and the others were very average.

Seeing Bruce Lee soaring and soaring, Luo Wei was of course not convinced, and then began to want to bring newcomers to fight with Bruce Lee.

To say that Luo Wei's vision is really not bad, Xu Guanjie's screen debut is to play Luo Wei's "Little Heroes Havoc in Chinatown", which can write a generation of singers, but in the end he did not become popular in Luo Wei's hands, but cooperated with his brother Xu Guanwen in a ghost horse comedy that became popular half the sky.

Now Luo Wei is even more unwilling, and after Golden Harvest has Bruce Lee and Xu Guanwen, it is no longer the small company that had to rely on him to barely survive under the pressure of Shaw Brothers, and Luo Wei's role in Golden Harvest is naturally getting smaller and smaller. Although Zou Wenhuai and Luo Wei were the company's veterans and former ministers, he did not directly let him stand aside, but he only gave him some movies with little investment, Luo Wei had resentment in his heart, and his relationship with Golden Harvest became inseparable.

However, Luo Wei's wife Liu Lianghua had a hot fight with Zou Wenhuai after entering Jiahe to work, which led to the later divorce of Luo Wei.

He Guanchang was worried that Luo Wei came to the door at this time, and he wanted to settle this account with Zou Wenhuai, so he would naturally be a little worried.

However, Zou Wenhuai was more calm, and he didn't have any handle on the matter between himself and Liu Lianghua in Luo Wei's hands, so he wasn't afraid that he would make noise in person, so he just was silent for a moment and asked the secretary to invite Luo Wei in.

When Luo Wei walked in with an excited face, he greeted Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang warmly, and He Guanchang was completely relieved.

Looking at Luo Wei like this, it shouldn't look like he wants to come to the door to ask for an explanation.

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Wei opened his mouth, he didn't say a word about his wife Liu Lianghua, but he talked about the movie "Shaolin Temple" that Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang were still discussing just now.

"I don't know if Mr. Zou and Mr. He have ever gone to see this movie?"

Zou Wenhuai didn't say anything, he was the boss of Golden Harvest Company, and he couldn't admit to his face that he secretly bought a ticket to watch this movie in the theater below the Oriental Cinema Line, which would be too embarrassing.

He Guanchang knew that it was inconvenient for Zou Wenhuai to answer, so he said: "Director Luo's question is a little strange, "Shaolin Temple" was released in Oriental theaters, and it was not released in our Jiahe Theaters, what does this movie have to do with us?" ”

"Mr. He's ridiculous!" Luo Wei shook his head, "Although "Shaolin Temple" was released in Oriental Cinemas, it was not filmed by Oriental Film and Television Company, so why does it have nothing to do with Golden Harvest?" ”

He Guanchang frowned, but in the end he didn't refute it, and listened patiently.

"It's only been less than two days since the release of this movie, and I heard that the pre-sale tickets have sold more than 8 million, and the box office can reach 20 million in the end, and the Great Wall Company only offered 5 million for selling the copyright of the whole movie to the Oriental Film and Television Company, I heard that the total shooting and processing of this movie only cost more than one million, and the Great Wall Film and Television got three times the profit when it changed hands, and the Oriental Film and Television made three times the profit when it released this movie, are Mr. Zou and Mr. He not hot at all?"

"Director Luo's words are not right, you only see the Great Wall Company and Oriental Film and Television making money, why don't you talk about the risks they took before making this movie? Although "Shaolin Temple" was released in the mainland, the box office recovered could wipe out the money invested by the Great Wall Company, and if it could not be released in Hong Kong, they would be busy in vain; Then the Oriental Cinema released this movie at a great risk, in case it upset Taiwan, then the gain outweighed the loss. ”

Luo Wei was a little speechless by He Guanchang's rebuttal, so he had to lower his head and hide his embarrassment by drinking water.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai spoke.

"Guan Chang, don't say that, I don't think Director Luo intentionally wants to ignore this issue."

Luo Wei glanced at Zou Wenhuai with some gratitude, and echoed: "Yes, yes, I actually just want to say that since "Shaolin Temple" is successful now, we can also follow suit to make such a movie, and it will definitely be a big hit." ”

At the beginning of the establishment of Golden Harvest, He Guanchang was cheated by Luo Wei once, and now when he heard Luo Wei say big things again, he immediately retorted: "Director Luo is a bit big to say this." What you can see, others can see, everyone follows the trend to make such a movie, how can you ensure that the movie you make will definitely stand out? ”

When Luo Wei heard this, not only was he not angry, but he smiled proudly.

"Mountain people have their own tricks!" (To be continued......)
