The popularity of "Huang Feihong" in the mainland made Lin Xiaozhi, who was already full of confidence in it, completely relieved.

Xu Ke's personal shooting of this movie is very exciting, that is, compared with the "Shaolin Temple" that swept the mainland in the early eighties, the advantages are also obvious, as a master of the new school of martial arts films, Xu Ke's directing skills are only higher than those of his predecessor Zhang Xinyan, and the investment is far better. Although the background is different, it is basically impossible for "Huang Feihong" to reproduce the situation of "Shaolin Temple" when the movie was released and thousands of people were empty, but the box office easily exceeded 20 million yuan in half a month after its release. "Once Upon a Time", as the first film to be introduced for trial screening in the mainland, has undoubtedly delivered a satisfactory report card.

“…… Yes, don't care about that advertising fee, I will let the finance allocate another two million to you, and you must do a good job in the follow-up publicity. Strive to get a good start for our Asia on the mainland......"

hung up this long-distance call to the mainland, Lin Xiaozhi was in a very good mood.

"Once Upon a Time" became an instant hit in the mainland, and with this piece of pearl and jade in front of him, he didn't believe that the mainland, which smelled fishy, could continue to hold back and not open up to Hong Kong films. I believe that soon they will be able to hear the good news from the mainland......

The films invested by Media Asia have achieved such good results in the mainland, and there is no reason why his media should not report on them. No, he was pressed for a while, and after ending his conflict with Yu Pinhai and winning Ming Pao, Lin Xiaozhi immediately shook out this big news, which instantly detonated the Hong Kong film industry again.

"Once Upon a Time" is a big hit in the mainland. The box office in the first half month of its release has accumulated more than 20 million yuan, equivalent to nearly 40 million Hong Kong dollars (the official exchange price at the end of 91 should be about 1 Hong Kong dollar to 4 jiao, and the black market has rebounded to about 7 jiao) ......"

On December 23, 1991, with a report in the latest issue of Sing Pao, the Hong Kong film industry was in an uproar.

After decades of development, the local market has almost been developed to saturation, but there are more than 100 large and small film companies and tens of thousands of film practitioners in this small land, so it is very dependent on the foreign market, and Taiwan, a foreign market, is therefore regarded as the lifeblood of Hong Kong films, which is why the Taiwan authorities have rumored that they want to ban actors who are filming for the mainland, and no film company in Hong Kong dares to invite him to film.

It's just that the Taiwan market is not as big as Hong Kong, but in the sixties and seventies, since the eighties when Chiang II introduced Japanese and American films into Taiwan, especially the latter's crazy encroachment on the market that originally belonged to them in Taiwan over the years, and now it has gradually gained an influence comparable to that of Hong Kong films.

The most important Taiwan market has been lost, the threshold of the markets in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States is too high, and Southeast Asian countries have also begun to support their own films in recent years to squeeze the living space of Hong Kong films. This is also the reason why in the past two years, there have been pessimists in the Hong Kong film industry who advocate the view that 'Hong Kong films are about to fall'.

Although the mainland is poor, it is better than the land and resources, and the mainland, with a population of more than one billion, undoubtedly has a huge film market. As for the mainland, Hong Kong filmmakers have never imagined that one day this huge market will also open up to them. It's just that due to the difference in values and systems, no Hong Kong film has been able to enter mainland theaters since its inception.

Although the well-known "Shaolin Temple" was produced by a Hong Kong director and a Hong Kong team, it was the mainland that paid for it, and strictly speaking, it should be a mainland movie. So not only does the mainland regard "Once Upon a Time" as the first Hong Kong film to be introduced for trial screening, but even the Hong Kong film industry basically thinks so.

When it was first rumored that Media Asia was secretly negotiating with the mainland to introduce Hong Kong films for release, doubters in the Hong Kong film industry abounded, and few people believed in the authenticity of the news, after all, what generations of filmmakers have not done, he Lin Xiaozhi may not be able to do.

As a result, when Lin Xiaozhi personally admitted at a press conference last month that an agreement had been reached with the mainland, and "Wong Fei Hung" would be released as the first film to be introduced to the mainland, the Hong Kong film industry was in an uproar at first, and casual disapproval still abounded.

In the 50s and 60s, the Hong Kong media did not fail to directly publish articles satirizing Chiang I, who 'eliminated 100 million bandits and successfully moved into Taiwan', not to mention the mainland that had just come out of a decade of turmoil and was so poor that Hong Kong people could only eat tree bark and Guanyin soil.

Most Hong Kong filmmakers think that mainlanders are poor, and even if the price is set at half of the Hong Kong ticket price, it is estimated that few mainlanders are willing to pay for movies.

They couldn't have imagined that Beiying originally planned to set the ticket price of the first introduced movie "Huang Feihong" at 3-5 yuan, of which the coastal areas were more expensive, and the inland in the central and western regions was slightly cheaper. Or Lin Xiaozhi took the initiative to refer to the movie ticket prices in the mainland and unify the ticket prices in various parts of the mainland into one dollar. It is precisely because the ticket price of this first introduced movie is set to be relatively close to the people, that after the word-of-mouth brewing, it attracted many mainland citizens to queue up to enter the theater to buy tickets to watch the movie.

However, since most Hong Kong media can't get the box office data of mainland theaters, the sudden revelations of the newspaper under his name are not annoyed although there is discussion.

won Ming Pao, coupled with the mainland hit of "Huang Feihong", because of two good things, he has been in a very good mood recently, so that Lin Jili mistakenly thought that he was so happy because of another thing, and he didn't forget to joke with him at dinner: "Your wedding is approaching, you should give yourself a holiday and rest for a while." It's still unknown how many days my old bones will live, and now my only wish is to be able to hold my great-grandson as soon as possible. So you and Ah Xin are still young now, and we have to hurry up about creating people......"

For the old man's blunt words to let them create people as soon as possible, Lin Xiaozhi was as thick-skinned as Lin Xiaozhi and naturally did not move. But Li Jiaxin's face was thinner than his face, and his face was slightly flushed when he heard the words.

The wedding date is approaching, and it stands to reason that she should stay at her mother's house during this time, but as soon as she came to live in the Lin Mansion early, she was as close to the Lin family as a family; Second, the scandal about her boyfriend that suddenly broke out a month ago made her vigilant, and after the relationship between the two was confirmed, she has been living in the Lin Mansion since she got the identity of the Lin family's quasi-granddaughter-in-law.

Picking up a napkin and wiping the corners of his mouth, Lin Xiaozhi smiled slightly, "I'm not in a hurry, I've been busy for a few years, and I really need to give myself a long vacation, at least until the end of the year." ”

He glanced at the woman beside him, smiled and patted Li Jiaxin's hand without saying more.

Two days later, it will be the wedding of the two of them, and the preparation of the Lin family for this wedding is not grand. Because he was busy fighting with the four media, the specific arrangements for the wedding were actually made by the old man, his eldest brother and sister-in-law. At first, he didn't plan to make a big deal, after all, there are few people in Hong Kong who don't know that he still has a woman outside, which is somewhat disgraceful. But not only did the old man not agree to his decision, but even the eldest brother and sister-in-law persuaded him to be more high-profile. The Lin family is now also one of the top wealthy families in Hong Kong, and he Lin Xiaozhi now holds the three major media of Cheng Pao, Ming Pao, and ATV, and his influence is no worse than half a point of the top ten richest people. Now the Lin family has the intention of taking this opportunity to show their influence, and of course they want to do a special event.

As a result, the 10 million Hong Kong dollars he took out at the beginning of the wedding planning funds were not enough at all, and later he added 20 million, and I heard that the old man also privately paid for his wedding and pasted in a few million, and the Lin family spent a lot of money for his wedding.

The wedding will be held at the Furama Hotel, according to the old man's plan, there are three wedding banquets, the first banquet alone costs nearly 20 million Hong Kong dollars for 200 tables, and the last two banquets are placed in Chaoshan's hometown to invite the Lin family's distant relatives in the mainland, and the other is paid by the Lin family for Li Jiaxin's relatives, and they all cost no less than one million Hong Kong dollars each.

This is not counting the fact that he and Li Jiaxin paid for six sets of dresses designed by internationally renowned designers for the two of them for 3 million, Bonita Cheng wedding dress of 270,000 yuan, Italian wedding dress of 710,000 yuan, and 8-carat diamond ring of 6.5 million; 800,000 yuan for venue decoration and sound, 600,000 yuan for public relations and security, 200,000 yuan for makeup and styling, 1.4 million yuan for wine, and 300,000 yuan for chocolate and candy snacks for return gifts. At the same time, they are also going to distribute 1,000 red envelopes to the media at the time of the wedding, each of which will be wrapped with 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, and this alone will cost another 1 million.

If this wedding is held, it will immediately surpass the wedding of the century between Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling and Huo Zhenting in 78 years and become the most wealthy wedding in Hong Kong.

Of course, it's just the level of luxury that goes beyond. After all, the wedding of Fok Zhenting was attended by the Governor of Hong Kong, the Governor of Macao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Thai Air Force, the consuls of 17 countries in Hong Kong, and more than 100 of Hong Kong's top richest people.

However, the Lin family was so reluctant, but it also calmed Li's mother's anger, and through his daughter, he politely rejected the two properties worth tens of millions that he originally planned to use as gifts. And during this period of time, Li Jiaxin has also returned to his previous state, as if he has completely forgotten that he still has a woman outside, and it seems that he has accepted this established fact.
