The next day, many tabloids in Hong Kong reported the launching ceremony of "Women's Heart" at the same time, but the central content was Chen Ping'an's "big words" at the opening ceremony.

"Dark Horse International invested 15 million and asked Wu Yusen to direct a blockbuster work!"

"Dark Horse International is black to the end, and Wu Yusen, the abandoned general of the new art city, will be reused!"

"The summer vacation file will set a new box office record, and if it fails, Chen Ping'an will jump into the sea again."

"Dark Horse International is arrogant, and no one wants to dominate the film industry!"

"When will the grandstanding be stopped, on Chen Ping'an these months."

……

The biggest difference between tabloids and tabloids is that they don't care about the wording, and if the wording is too fucked up and provokes the subject of the report to cause a lawsuit, then they are happy to see it. Therefore, Chen Ping'an's words at the start-up ceremony, although they were spoken heroically, completely changed when they came to the reporter's pen.

Sarcasm, all tabloids have the same rhythm, the whole article is ironic, ridiculing Chen Ping'an's arrogance, the starring role is undecided, and the director is Wu Yusen, an outdated director who has been on the street for many years, dared to speak to win the box office championship in the summer vacation, and let the reporter wait and see, what kind of arrogance is this?

In order to make Chen Ping'an wake up from the box office success of "Police Story", many newspapers took Guan Jinpeng's "Women's Heart" as an example, comparing Guan Jinpeng's low-key with Chen Ping'an's unastounding words, pointing out that if Chen Ping'an still wants to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry and wants Dark Horse International to be able to last for a long time, he should learn from Guan Jinpeng step by step, and eventually become a director from a staff member and be qualified to direct a play.

These newspapers did not deliberately smear Chen Ping'an, they were completely out of the need to earn eyeballs, and as a result, Kwan Jinpeng and "Women's Heart", a drama without too many highlights, made headlines on the entertainment pages of many tabloids and entered the attention of Hong Kong citizens.

"This Andy is building momentum for "Women's Heart" again!" Zou Wenhuai threw the newspaper on the table and shook his head with a wry smile, "For the sake of publicity, he never cares about his image." ”

"You're still obsessed with him, huh? Don't forget that the media said that we were ashamed and brave because of him! Liu Lianghua shook her head and put the tea in front of Zou Wenhuai, "Actually, I think Ah Long and Sanmao are quite good." This year, Golden Harvest is like a rainbow, let's just say now, although the publicity of "Good Boy" is big, but the "Zhiyong Three Treasures" produced by Sanmao is not a pressure on him? ”

During this time, what fought with "Good Boy" was "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery" produced by Hong Jinbao and directed by Wu Ma. When it was first released, "Good Boy" had a strong momentum, had a good reputation among students, was very popular among student parties, and many adults also liked to watch it. However, with the newspaper's extensive report on "students skipping school to watch movies", which attracted the attention of schools and parents, under the home-school linkage mechanism, students had to put their minds away and wait until the evening or weekend holidays to go to the theater.

This made "The Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery" come from behind, and with the help of "Divine Courage Double Cannon" to create a good reputation, it surpassed "Good Boy" at the box office after a period of time. Although the box office of both dramas now exceeds 10 million, "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery" is even better, more than 3 million higher than "Good Boy".

The schedule between the Chinese New Year and Easter stalls has never been valued, but the box office of these two dramas exceeded 10 million at the same time, which caused an uproar in the industry. In addition to the call of Golden Harvest's "return of the king", there is also speculation that Dark Horse International will replace Xinyicheng.

"Have you ever considered the cost? How much does "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery" invest, and how much does "Good Boy" invest? Also, do you dare to guarantee that "Three Treasures of Wisdom and Bravery" will surpass "Good Boy" at the box office in Nanyang, South Korea and Japan? Zou Wenhuai shook his head, "You, your vision is too shallow." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm a woman, right? I don't think he's brilliant anyway. ”

"Okay, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry. You arrange a few more people to keep an eye on Dark Horse International, I always feel that something is not quite right with this kid recently. ”

Last Christmas, Chen Ping'an filmed a "Police Story", which was a hit in Hong Kong, and some time ago Zou Wenhuai arranged for someone to take samples to the United States to negotiate the distribution, which was affirmed by the American film companies, and the two sides have negotiated an arrangement for the release in September this year, and also invited Cheng Long to promote.

During the Spring Festival this year, Chen Ping'an went to Taiwan to shoot "Good Boy", which swept Taiwan and swept Nanyang, South Korea and Japan, and returned to Hong Kong for release, although the box office lost to "Zhiyong Three Treasures", but the cost of this drama is only NT$2 million, which is equivalent to less than one million Hong Kong dollars!

Both dramas have been successful, but this year, Dark Horse International has only started filming one "Women's Heart", and a movie focusing on summer vacation is also shot by Wu Yusen, what is he Chen Ping'an doing?

Chen Ping'an's ambitions are very big, and Zou Wenhuai couldn't be clearer. But it's the middle of March, and he hasn't made any moves, which doesn't make sense! The outside world said that Shaw Brothers' partner Dark Horse International embarked on the road of ZTE, but he didn't think that Chen Ping'an would be so kind, and the decline of Shaw Brothers was not something that Chen Ping'an could save alone!

Liu Lianghua asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"Because I need to know what he's going to do this year!"

Zou Wenhuai wanted to know what scene Chen Ping'an was going to film, and Guan Jinpeng was also asking the same question: "Boss, aren't you going to film this year?" ”

Guan Jinpeng asked this question, in addition to wanting to know Chen Ping'an's plan, he also wanted to divert Chen Ping'an's attention. "Women's Heart" is his debut novel, which embodies all his hard work, but Chen Ping'an has taken Wu Yusen to follow the crew every day for the past few days, and the two of them each stared at an actor, which made the two actors uncomfortable, and Yan zhòng affected the filming process.

Wu Yusen stared at Zhou Runfa, his eyes didn't roll, he followed Zhou Runfa wherever he went, and he kept muttering to himself, which made Zhou Runfa leave the crew early under the pretext of having something to do for two consecutive days.

Chen Ping'an's target is Zhong Chuhong. Every day when he arrived at the crew and said hello to everyone, he would find a corner to sit down and stare at Zhong Chuhong, and sometimes he would suddenly laugh and look at Zhong Chuhong out loud. For this reason, Zhong Chuhong approached Guan Jinpeng several times, saying that if the scene continued like this, it would be impossible to film. The day before yesterday, Zhong Chuhong's friend Zhu Jiayan came to visit the class, and he almost didn't fight with Chen Ping'an because of this.

Today's contradiction broke out completely, it was only noon, Zhou Yanfa and Zhong Chuhong, the two protagonists, "boycotted" at the same time, and asked Guan Jinpeng for leave together, saying that they had other activities to participate in in the afternoon, and they left without lunch, so that the crew had to end work half a day early.

"Filming? I didn't plan to film in the first half of this year. Chen Ping'an didn't notice Guan Jinpeng's intentions at all, and patted the latter and Wu Yusen on the shoulder, "In the first half of this year, Dark Horse International will rely on the two of you to take the lead." ”

A director junior brother, an outdated director, does Dark Horse International want to close its doors?

"How can the two of us do it? Boss, the drama you filmed is a big hit, and it's a pity to miss the summer vacation in vain. ”

"No money!" Chen Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "Now that the company has hundreds of thousands of dollars in its accounts, how can I still have money to film?" What's more, Lao Wu's drama has a budget of at least 12 million, and it is estimated that 15 million will not be able to hold it when it is finished. You say, how can I have the money to film? ”

The local box office of "Police Story" was nearly 15 million, and Chen Ping'an was spent before he returned to Hong Kong. invested 2 million in "Women's Heart", 500,000 yuan for Luo Lixian to build the Raptors stunt team, leaving 500,000 yuan to maintain the operation of the company, and the rest of the money was used by Chen Ping'an to buy a house.

"Good Boy" was a big hit in Taiwan, but the box office was almost spent by Chen Ping'an, and when he returned to Hong Kong, he only brought back more than one million Hong Kong dollars, which was also used as a deposit to buy a villa on the top of the mountain.

Now we have to wait, the Hong Kong box office of "Good Boy" can arrive at the beginning of next month, the overseas box office can arrive at the end of next month, the Taiwan box office of "Police Story" has been exhausted in advance, and the release in the United States will have to wait until September, and what can be counted on is the box office of South Korea, Japan and Nanyang, and it will arrive at the end of this month at the earliest.

According to current statistics, the overseas box office of these two dramas can still bring 30 or 40 million revenue to Dark Horse International, but now, the company can't take out the money to film Chen Ping'an!

Wu Yusen's face turned red, and he said, "Boss, why don't my drama start later, and shoot your drama first?" ”

"What a joke! Lao Wu, aren't you unconfident again! Let me ask you, how are your observations of Fa Ge these days? ”

Wu Yusen shook his head: "I still think he is not suitable." ”

Guan Jinpeng finally understood why Wu Yusen had been staring at Zhou Yanfa recently: "Boss, you have thought clearly!" Ah Fa's acting skills are no problem, and starring in TV series is also very popular, but the starring movies are all popular or not. Director Wu's drama is a big production, and you bet with the reporter again, but you have to be cautious! ”

"I think about it very clearly, it's him!"

Guan Jinpeng and Wu Yusen glanced at each other, their faces full of worry. The former asked again: "Boss, you have been staring at Honggu these days, are you going to find her to be the heroine in the next play?" ”

"That's right! Wait, how do you know I'm always staring at her? You don't concentrate on filming, but you still have time to watch me? ”

"No, it was Aunt Honggu who complained to me, saying that you, that you kept staring at her, so that she didn't have the heart to film." Speaking of this, Guan Jinpeng looked at Wu Yusen, "And Ah Fa too." ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized: "Oh, I said, it was only at noon that the two protagonists actually asked for leave at the same time, which made the crew call it off early." No way! Pengpeng, you help me make an appointment with Brother Fa and Honggu, and arrange for me to meet with them to clarify the misunderstanding. ”

Although Chen Ping'an does not plan to film in the first half of the year, he still has a lot of things to do. After leaving the crew at half past three in the afternoon, he drove to a high-end tea restaurant in Causeway Bay with the dwarf cow, and Anita Mui invited him to have afternoon tea.

"Mr. Chen, here!" As soon as he went up to the second floor, Luo Junzuo's voice came. In the corner of the last row by the window, Mei Yanfang had already arrived and sat with Luo Junzuo.

"Sister Mei, Bin Zai, I'm sorry I'm late, I'll invite you for afternoon tea."

"Oh, we're here early. Thanks to Mr. Chen that night, we invited afternoon tea. ”

"What's the matter, Sister Mei is unhappy? Is it because Zou Gongzi still doesn't want to see me? If you don't want to see me, please return my tape. ”

Mei Yanfang's face stinked and took out a tape from her bag and pushed it in front of Chen Ping'an: "If you pay you back, you will pay you back, your singing is far worse than me!" ”
