1990 will be another year for small and medium-sized film companies that are expected to approach or even surpass the old Big Three.

Because according to the filming plans announced by the three giants of Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Debao, the three film companies have only confirmed that they will make nine films for the time being this year, and the total investment is only 44 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not as good as a red alert of New Asia.

Whether this is clumsy or not, there is one thing that Lin Xiaozhi is very sure of, that is, this summer, New Asia is very likely to become the biggest winner.

The three giants of the new art city are infighting, Shi Tian has made up real estate and semi-quit the film industry, and Mecca and Huang Baiming each pulled a ticket to help other film companies make movies. It's ridiculous that Xinyicheng, the overlord of the Hong Kong film industry in the past, couldn't release a movie shot by his own company during this year's Chinese New Year, and almost gave up this year's summer file.

Debao's life is not much better than that of Xinyicheng, and the boss Pan Disheng has made it clear at the beginning of the year that 400 million Hong Kong dollars Debao Film Company and Debao Cinema Line will be packaged and bought, and 300 million Debao Film Company and 200 million Debao Cinema Line will be sold. The famous brand king is ready to sell Debao at any time, where will he have the luxury to continue to allocate money, so this year, Debao Film Company can only rely on the money earned from its previous films, as well as external funds to shoot two or three movies.

"The Middleman of the Royal Sister" was released on June 15 and was painted on the 27th, only receiving more than 6 million at the box office. The investment of 7 million has not yet been recovered, and it is estimated that it can only barely recoup its capital by releasing videotapes and selling overseas films. Another movie "Money Laundering", which Debao has high hopes for, has just been completed in mid-July, and it is estimated that by the time the movie is released, it will be almost mid-August. This movie directed by Yuan Heping may not be much better at the box office than "The Middleman of the Royal Senior Sister". In this year's summer file, Debao is actually not competitive.

Golden Harvest is the same, most of its energy is now focused on the United States, this year's summer Golden Harvest except for an unexpectedly popular "Cousin Hello Wild", the remaining two movies are small productions that cost three or four million, and the script is not amazing, which is not enough to compete for the summer file.

Zou Minhuai invested nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", hoping to rely on it to enter the American market. However, he was first cheated by the arrogant American director and the American crew for a year. After the film finally completed post-production, who knew that Lu Dao had originally negotiated with Golden Harvest for the release of 'Twentieth Century Fox', the company had another brain convulsion, insisting that this animated film ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" non-live-action movie) had no market in the United States and was unwilling to continue to be released.

As a result, Zou Minhuai can only fly back and forth between Hong Kong and the United States, and I heard that he is currently negotiating with American Line Films, and once the negotiations are successful, New Line will take over the distribution of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Twentieth Century Fox. This is good news for Golden Harvest, but not good for Lin Xiaozhi. Because the well-known independent film company in the United States, New Line, is willing to take over, which means that Golden Harvest will soon achieve a big comeback with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", and it also means that after this year, a Golden Harvest Film Company in the strongest state will come back.

The old three giants all reduced production, and Yongsheng Film Company, whose growth momentum was only slightly worse than that of New Asia last year, only had one "Modern Palm" with a low investment cost released this summer. After getting acquainted with Liu Dehua, Lin Xiaozhi also inquired from him in advance, and after learning that the filming cost of this movie was only 6 million Hong Kong dollars, he completely crossed Yongsheng off the threat list.

Wang Jing, the screenwriter of "Modern Palm", is undoubtedly one of the best commercial film directors in Hong Kong, but the director Wong Tai Lai, who was hired by Yongsheng, is not good at shooting this type of film full of, pee and fart. If Wang Jing came to shoot, 6 million might give him the effect of 10 million investment, but it would be good if Huang Tailai could shoot half of Wang Jing.

Even Yongsheng was surprised that there were no blockbusters competing for the list in this year's summer file, which is undoubtedly good news for New Asia.

Following the release of "Qin Warriors" at the end of June, another film of New Asia "Love Letter" also embarked on the road of competing for dominance in this year's summer file on July 10.

Thanks to New Asia's efforts, "Love Letter" was released in Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time. As one of the several films invested by New Asia this year, Lin Xiaozhi's most concerned movie, Zhang Wanting and his wife and their "Love Letter" did not disappoint him. In the first week of release, "Love Letter" in Hong Kong and Taiwan handed over 30,000 Hong Kong dollars and 170,000 Taiwan dollars (about 5.7 million Hong Kong dollars) respectively, and in the second week of release, the box office of "Love Letter" did not decrease according to inertia, but rose against the trend, once again creating a box office of 7.79 million Hong Kong dollars and 1.94 million Taiwan dollars (about 730,000 Hong Kong dollars).

Although there is no competition for news about wireless and ATV in Hong Kong, the attention has surpassed that of "Qin Warriors", and soon avenged the "Qin Warriors" that have been painted, and the attention gained by the media has surpassed "Cousin Hello Ye".

"Those confessions that didn't open their mouths finally made you understand." Qi Jiashi signed an article in the "Film Fortnightly" "The best, purest and purest love movie in the history of Hong Kong films," the film "Love Letter" written by Lin Xiaozhi and directed by Zhang Wanting and his wife, this is probably the shortest film review I have ever written, but it is the one with the most emotional investment. I can't put into words more words how touched my heart was, but I really want more people to know about this movie that I will regret for the rest of my life if I missed it."

"This is youth, "Love Letter" has to be read" Zhang Lin, a special film critic of "Ming Pao".

""Love Letter" is probably the only movie I have watched in the past few years that can make me cry until I cry" - Lin Qingxia's emotion in an interview with the media after watching the movie in Taiwan: "Those youthful touches remind me of the people I have met and missed"

"I used to think that love was for adults. But after watching the movie "Love Letter", I have to admit that love is regardless of age. This is a pure movie without any dirty eroticism, a classic that is so clean that people will touch people's hearts after watching it. I'm starting to be a little afraid, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Zhang Wanting and his wife to make a love movie that surpasses it in the future."

Cen Jianxun, president of Debao Cinemas, also gave a very high evaluation to the movie released in its theaters, and "Love Letter", which was released for two weeks and truly achieved both box office and word-of-mouth, is obviously worthy of his evaluation.

"Come on, come on, ...... cup"

The room was full of cups, and even though there were only four people in the room, the atmosphere was very lively.

Lin Jianming blushed, got up and picked up a glass of wine, personally saluted Lin Xiaozhi who was sitting on the side, and said, "Ah Zhi, come on, come on, I have to personally salute you with this glass of wine." If it weren't for you this time, I'd be in big trouble. ”

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and picked up the wine glass but didn't drink, just shook his head and said, "Uncle Ming, you are an elder, how can you respect me for this wine." Shall I bring you a drink......

"No" Lin Jianming was happy in his heart, but he was happy to joke with him, but he just shook his head and didn't want to

The two of them were not the only ones in this private room, but there were also two women by their side. Sitting next to Lin Xiaozhi is naturally his genuine girlfriend Li Jiaxin, her new play "A Chinese Ghost Story" has just been completed, and Li Jiaxin has more free time after entering post-production, and has often been glued to Lin Xiaozhi's side recently. Needless to say, the other woman is naturally Lin Jianming's little lover Weng Hong.

Weng Hong saw the two yelling at each other to toast, so she took an opportunity to interject and said, "Lin Sheng, why don't I toast you with this wine."

Although she is only l years old this year, she is younger than Lin Xiaozhi. can't bear that she is Lin Jianming's lover, if you really want to count it seriously, Lin Xiaozhi is directly shorter. However, this woman is also smart, and he knows that he is the owner of a large film company, and his financial resources are no worse than Lin Jianming. So she has never put on a stand in front of Lin Xiaozhi, even in front of his girlfriend Li Jiaxin, she puts her posture very low, and she is a smart woman.

Lin Xiaozhi nodded directly when he heard this, and said with a hearty smile: "I'm afraid that Uncle Ming will hurt you and be reluctant to ......."

Lin Jianming's eyes widened when he heard this, as if he was angry. But as soon as he turned his face to look at the woman beside him, his face was suddenly full of smiles: "Don't say I didn't remind you, Ah Hong's alcohol consumption is not much worse than mine, if you are poured down tonight, Ah Xin, don't blame you Uncle Ming."

This is the first time Lin Xiaozhi has taken her to have dinner with friends and relatives around her, Li Jiaxin was happy, and saluted him with a glass of red wine: "Uncle Ming said something, if he is drunk, it is because he is happy, I will also toast you......"

This is also a smart woman, when her boyfriend Lin Xiaozhi first introduced her to Lin Jianming, she also called him Mr. Hu in a restrained manner, and this time she has changed her mouth to call him 'Uncle Ming' like her boyfriend, to show her closeness

"Good ......"

Lin Jianming had just received an accurate answer from his father, and after more than a month of consideration, Lin Baixin finally decided to hand over ATV to him to take care of. And he has already told him that in a few days, he will transfer the shares in his name to him, his sister and mother, and he has felt guilty about the three of his mother and son in the past few decades

The second brother Lin Jianle was angry when he learned about this, and confronted Lin Baixin in front of him, making him so angry that he scolded "Son." Whenever he thought of Yu Baozhu's pale and ugly face, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, not only had a drink with Li Jiaxin, but also took the initiative to have a glass with Lin Xiaozhi and Weng Hong, and soon the wine came to his head.

Lin Xiaozhi was also happy, he brought the driver with him when he came out today, even if he drank a few more glasses, he didn't worry, maybe he could go back at night and take advantage of the strength of the wine to have some ordinary posture with Li Jiaxin. In order to achieve his own goals, he also took the initiative to pour his girlfriend a few glasses of wine for this purpose.

In the private room, the men laughed loudly, the women chatted quietly, Lin Xiaozhi and Lin Jianming's two uncles and nephews are now faintly becoming hardcore allies because of the 'ATV battle, so the atmosphere in the private room has been very harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Xiaozhi felt that his head was starting to get a little heavy, so he glanced at the watch on his wrist and found that it was almost nine o'clock. Seeing his girlfriend Li Jiaxin sitting next to him with peach blossoms on her face, her eyes were flooding, and she knew that she had been poured a few more glasses by herself, and she was also drunk at this time. Thinking of the evil thoughts that Fang Cai had just born, I couldn't help but feel an evil fire rising in my heart, and I hated to take her home immediately to make love.

When this thought came together, I felt that the wine was tasteless and the food was tasteless. Seeing that Lin Jianming was also yawning one after another, he picked an opportunity and was about to propose to him to leave, when suddenly his mobile phone on the sofa in the corner rang.

"I'll do it"

Li Jiaxin, who was drunk and hazy, got up, twisted the graceful water snake waist and walked over, and the moment he leaned over, he revealed a perfect curve, which made Lin Xiaozhi's heart even more evil, and secretly said that no matter how he answered the phone, he would definitely go home after answering the phone.

She took the phone, Lin Xiaozhi didn't take it in a hurry, and was thinking about how to find an excuse to leave, when suddenly, she heard Fu Bo's anxious and anxious voice on the other side of the phone: "Young Master Sun, where are you now?" Hurry up and come to the Baptist Hospital, young master, he was in a car accident......"

"What"

Lin Xiaozhi was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but roar.
