On January 13, 1986, "God of Gamblers" has been screened in Oriental theaters for three weeks, with a cumulative box office of 45.34 million, although it shows the potential of the theater chain, "God of Gamblers" is not as good as "Miracle", but the box office has been far ahead, and major newspapers and magazines have also abandoned "Miracle" and rushed to report "God of Gamblers", which further stimulated the box office potential.

Compared with the super high popularity of "God of Gamblers", the "Miracle" released by Golden Harvest Cinema is not inferior, the theater has been full for consecutive weeks, which makes Golden Harvest crooked his mouth, the cost of "Miracle" is far inferior to "Police Story", but the box office appeal is not lost to the latter at all, three weeks after its release, it won a box office of 31.29 million, although it is lower than the 45.34 million of "God of Gamblers", Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others are not discouraged, and the box office of "Miracle" far exceeds expectations.

For the box office potential of "Miracle", Wang Zichuan, Chen Baixiang, and Wang Jin don't say it, but they are very envious in their hearts, the local box office is just a reference, and the majority is the overseas box office, and overseas distributors, especially in Europe and the United States, the only reference basis for the price of the buyout film is the total box office of the port, the higher the box office of the port, the higher the buyout price, if "Miracle" is released in the Oriental Cinema, the total box office can break through the 60 million mark at the lowest, and the overseas dividend is not less than 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Zichuan's office, Li Ruotong and Chen Farong are there, the two of them have a tacit understanding to clean up the room, their ears are pricked up, the three giants of Tengfei Entertainment are all there, and listening to a little news casually is enough for them to brag outside for several days.

Wang Jin said frustratedly: "I heard that the buyout price of "God of Gamblers" in Japan is only 5 million! ”

Chen Baixiang said: "It's good to be able to sell for five million!" Japan has decided to release "Miracle" on the New Year's schedule, and it is estimated that Golden Harvest has made a lot of money this time, with a box office of no less than 10 million US dollars and at least 80 million Hong Kong dollars! ”

Wang Jin said enviously: "This time Golden Harvest has made a lot of money, and with the rise of the yen, it is equivalent to a dividend that has risen nearly twice!" ”

Chen Farong's heart moved, and she also heard that after the Japanese government signed the 'Plaza Agreement'. The yen has grown wildly, in just three months, the yen has appreciated by 25%, and now half a year has passed, the yen is still appreciating, as if there is no end, international financial consortia have entered the Japanese market, and the Japanese economy has been accelerated to a certain extent, showing a thriving state, but experts have also reported hidden dangers. When the appreciation of the yen comes to an end, and the international financial consortium withdraws from Japan with the funds, Japan will fall into disaster!

Chen Baixiang slapped his thigh and said, "We can also make a movie based on "Miracle", what do you think?" ”

Wang Zichuan praised: "This is a good idea. ”

The film "Miracle" reminded Wang Zichuan of Cheng Long's "City Hunter", which happened to have a luxury cruise ship, not only had a ready-made shooting location, but also saved rent. The only loophole is that the actor is not easy to choose, Cheng Long is definitely not good, Wang Zichuan does not plan to use it.

Wang Jin smiled: "I'll do this film!" The actor chooses Zhou Runfa! ”

Wang Zichuan said: "Alat is a good idea, I just happen to have a script." The name is "City Hunter", which is very in line with this tone, but the actor is not easy to find, and Zhou Runfa has a very good market in Southeast Asia. The appeal in Japan alone is not satisfactory. ”

Wang Jindao: "Then choose a heroine, Deng Lijun is very good, her records are selling very well in Japan." The box office appeal is not inferior to Cheng Long, with Miss Deng Lijun joining, plus Ah Chuan's script, the film's performance must not be inferior to "Miracle". ”

"I have already chosen the heroine, Miss Deng's side ......" Wang Zichuan groaned slightly, and quickly made a decision: "Ah Lak, you go to Taiwan to talk to Miss Deng, just say that I invited her to participate in a film, I hope Miss Deng can give me face!" ”

Chen Baixiang said tentatively: "Why don't you go in person, Miss Deng and Cheng Long have never been to Hong Kong since they broke up." ”

Wang Zichuan laughed and said: "It's impossible for her not to come to Hong Kong from now on, just go and tell me, Miss Deng and Lin Qingxia have a good relationship, and I'll beat the side drum with Miss Lin Qingxia." ”

Hearing Lin Qingxia's help, Chen Baixiang admitted: "Okay, I'll go to Taiwan this afternoon, Ah Chuan, Miss Lin, you should hurry up a little bit, it's best to put the film on the summer file." ”

"I understand this!" Wang Zichuan also plans to do so, in the summer file, Tengfei Entertainment has already had several films, and he is confident that he will block Golden Harvest again, as for Xinyicheng Pictures, in Wang Zichuan's plan, Xinyicheng has no chance to get involved in this year's summer file.

Wang Jin said tentatively: "Ah Chuan, who are you going to invite to be the heroine?" ”

"Wang Guxian!" Wang Zichuan said without hesitation, the heroine of "City Hunter" is Wang Guxian, she is in her true colors, and he also wants to help Wang Guxian transform, since starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Wang Guxian seems to have become the spokesperson of female ghosts, and all kinds of female ghost films emerge in endlessly, and there are five or six films alone, and the heroines are all female ghosts.

Wang Jin has such an expression, Tengfei Entertainment has a variety of films, the heroines are always those few people, Zhang Mian, Zhou Hailin, Wang Guxian, Qiu Shuzhen, looking at Bingqing Yujie, inviolable, in fact, the gossip has already spread.

Chen Baixiang reminded: "Now let's talk about the actor!" By the way, Ah Chuan, you haven't said the plot outline of "City Hunter", we must have a reference! ”

"Speaking of City Hunter, I seem to be a little impressed!" Wang Jin showed a look of memory, patted his thigh and said, "I remembered, in Japan...... When I was on a business trip, I met a Japanese man, Tsukasa Hojo, who had a manga called City Hunter! ”

Wang Zichuan said tentatively: "Ah Jin, have you read that comic?" ”

Wang Zichuan really doesn't know about this matter, he only remembers the plot of the film "City Hunter", as for whether it is adapted, it is not clear, but according to Cheng Long's talent, there is a high probability that "City Hunter" will be adapted, fortunately Wang Jin reminded him, otherwise it would be a big fuss and let the main owner come to the door, it would be a big shame.

Wang Jin desperately recalled, and finally remembered the general plot of "City Hunter".

"Bustling city, busy with traffic...... The place marked with the XYZ mark on the message board of Shinjuku Station is a mysterious passage to another world in the dark night, to the mysterious protagonist - the city hunter Kan Ha Liang. ”

Wang Zichuan knew that since the comics were drawn by the Japanese, the background was naturally in Japan, and Cheng Long's self-directed and self-starred "City Hunter" set in Hong Kong.

Han Yuliang was worried about the bill for water and electricity rent in Hexiang, because there had been no business for a long time, hehe...... This is the usual opening in City Hunter. ”

Wang Zichuan urged: "You just need to tell me about the background of the two." ”

Wang Jin nodded, "Han Yuliang is a private detective, and Makimura Xiang's brother is a partner, in a mission, Makimura was unfortunately killed, so her sister took her brother's place, but she didn't know at first that her brother's friend was not an ordinary private detective, and he was not even a good/womanizer as he seemed on the surface, but a stunt, 'For justice, A dark enforcer who has to resort to injustice, Aron doesn't want Xiang to intervene in the dark side of his life, but after many birth-and-death struggles, the sprout of love gradually grows. ”

Wang Zichuan nodded slightly, and the plot is similar to "City Hunter".

Chen Baixiang said: "Ah Chuan, have you also read the comic "City Hunter". ”

Wang Zichuan smiled and said perfunctorily: "I have a little impression, I flipped through it casually at that time, and I had the idea of creating a script, it seems that I read the same person's comics as Ah Jin!" ”

Wang Jin was surprised: "Then aren't we going to Japan to buy the film adaptation rights of this work?" ”

"It has to be so!" Wang Zichuan muttered secretly, Japanese comics are a very tempting industry, should they go over the layout earlier, "One Piece", "Detective Conan", "Crayon Shin-chan", "Naruto" and so on, each work is worth a lot of money, if you can buy it, create billions of dollars in profits out of thin air.

Wang Jin patted his chest and said, "Ah Chuan, leave this matter to me, I am friends with Hojo Division." ”

Wang Zichuan smiled: "Ah Jin, I plan to open a company in Japan to specialize in signing cartoonists and publishing their comics. ”

Wang Jin hesitated: "Why did you think of doing this?" ”

Chen Baixiang said: "Ah Jin, you just do what Ah Chuan said, I also think comics are very interesting, the Hong Kong market is full of Japanese comics, and when we encounter classics, we can buy the adaptation rights of the work first." ”

"Alright then!" Wang Jin didn't suspect anything, and reminded: "Ah Chuan, this requires a lot of money. ”

Wang Zichuan instructed: "I will arrange for someone to acquire a related company, you only need to be responsible for signing the cartoonist, after the matter is done, return to Hong Kong immediately, and I will send someone to take over the company." ”

"That's fine!" Wang Jin also didn't want to stay in Japan to manage any manga company.

Chen Baixiang reminded: "Then let's go back to the topic and talk about the script of "City Hunter". ”

Wang Zichuan said: "My script is very simple, that is, to gather the stars and beauties on a cruise ship, and then arrange to rob the robbers and make trouble on the cruise ship, and the male protagonist will delay the time, and finally the rescue team will arrive to eliminate the bandits and rescue the hostages on the cruise ship." ”

Chen Baixiang said tentatively: "Cruise ships are a big problem! ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "Don't worry about the cruise ship, the 'Oriental Emperor' can be on standby at any time!" ”

Wang Jinmei smiled and praised: "I like the 'Oriental Emperor' very much, and the movie will definitely be a big hit!" ”

Chen Baixiang nodded, he has also been to the 'Oriental Emperor' a few times, and the decoration and facilities are comparable to top cruise ships.

"Where's the male lead?"

Wang Zichuan took a deep breath, he really couldn't think of a person who could replace Cheng Long, Yuan Di could consider it, but he was in the mainland to help Jiahe make films, and Cheng Long himself was a way that could never be used.

"Actor, you also go back and think about it, this person must have box office appeal in Japan." (To be continued......)
