In a restaurant in Kowloon Tong, Zhao Donghuai, Ah Guang and Ah Yong arrived on the second floor, pushed open the door of a large private room, and saw one or twenty people sitting inside.

As soon as these people saw Director Zhao, they cheered and stood up, their eyes ......

Zhao Donghuai smiled and beckoned, "Brother Overlord, long time no see!" ”

In mid-July, I invited Brother Xiaobawang to take a little brother and Red Scorpion to the Clear Water Bay set to make guest appearances as teachers, and it has been more than two months.

Little Overlord Li Huaijin grabbed the beer in front of the table, drank all the cups in one gulp before putting down the cup, his eyes were deep, "Director Zhao, you called us this time, I don't know if you have any advice?" ”

Zhao Donghuai stepped forward with a laugh, "Look at what Brother Overlord said, we are all good friends, we can't get together if we have nothing to do, I have a treat today, everyone can eat and drink." ”

Little Overlord, "......"

Xiaobawang's group of younger brothers, as well as some people who belong to Xiaobawang's friends, are all a little speechless.

Zhao Donghuai took off his shoulder bag and opened the zipper, and a pile of money dazzled the eyes of the crowd at once.

Director Zhao didn't pay attention to it so much, and took out an investment agreement, "Brother Overlord, three or four months ago, you invested 223,000 yuan in me, and now I will return it to you with interest." ”

"I calculated it for you, now the annual interest of HSBC is less than 0.5%, and the interest is worrying, and the interest of one million a year is less than 5,000 yuan."

"I borrowed more than 220,000 yuan, three or four months, and now I will directly give you 10,000 interest, enough for friends!"

On the other hand, he also handed over the investment agreement to Xiaobawang and counted 233,000 yuan more quickly.

Little Overlord Li Huaijin, "......"

He grabbed the investment agreement in a daze, and then looked at the money in Director Zhao's hand, do you really pay me back?? The sun is coming out of the west today?

Damn, if he hadn't had so many unscientific photos in the hands of the other party, as well as other messy contracts and IOUs, he would have fought with this bastard a long time ago, okay!

Until Zhao Donghuai stuffed the money into Xiaobawang's arms, and said again, "Don't you count?" Xiaobawang woke up in a hurry, looking inexplicable, looking at Director Zhao with a complicated meaning, and then at Ah Guang and Ah Yong.

He shook his head, "Don't count, you're really here to pay back today??" ”

Zhao Donghuai patted Xiaobawang on the shoulder, "Look at what you said, everyone is a good citizen, an outstanding young man in the new era, can I still lie to you?" ”

"I also brought your friend's money, otherwise why would you call everyone so together."

It should also be repaid, after all, he has money, and he is not a robber.

The investment agreement money and the arrears should be repaid, and it is not difficult to borrow and repay.

Now he no longer needs to crowdfund from Xiaobawang and others, but the future is so long, who knows, it is appropriate to leave a good impression on each other.

Director Zhao currently has more than 3 million cash after buying a garage, and it is not difficult to send it out with the initial 700,000 yuan, plus interest.

When he started to send money, after sending it, he put away the investment agreement and the IOU he owed others again, and burned it in front of him, before clapping his hands, "Okay, everyone is good friends, even if you eat and drink, you won't get drunk today!" ”

Many people wept with joy.

Then everyone cheered and began to call the waiter, and when the waiter came over, ordered a bunch of good dishes and wine, Zhao Donghuai raised his glass and touched a glass with everyone, "That's okay, you continue, I'm leaving, I'll treat Xiaobawang to pay the bill, remember not to eat Bawang meal." ”

Little Overlord Li Huaijin, "......"

A group of younger brothers and Ah Jin's friends also looked at each other a little.

Watching Director Zhao leave with people in a daze, the little overlord quickly chased out, "Wait." ”

Seeing Zhao Donghuai stop, Xiao Bawang stepped forward with a smile, "Director Zhao, Brother Huai?" What pictures do I have? ”

"Also, it's easy to say that this money is not repaid, I don't lack it for the time being, the key is the IOU I left with you?"

Zhao Donghuai patted him with a smile, "These are two different things, I'll talk about it later." ”

"By the way, my new drama will be released soon, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on the 22nd, the Shaw Brothers Cinema will be gone!"

When Director Zhao left this time, they all disappeared, and the little overlord turned around and scolded through gritted teeth, "Hit the street, you are filming a ghost scene, it is a waste of talent not to plant cucumbers!" ”

That is, I have suffered several losses and know that I can't beat the surname Zhao...... And he thinks back on his past, and also feels that he is "a good citizen who loves peace", and he should not do bad things, otherwise he will definitely fight with him!

It's so decided, I went to see the new world on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, if the shooting was not good, he would definitely take his younger brothers to throw rice fields in the theater to vent his anger.

A moment later.

When the private room was in the private room, Xiaobawang drank a few glasses of wine and said his thoughts, and a group of friends and younger brothers applauded and cheered each other on.

It wasn't until everyone's atmosphere gradually became warm that someone said weakly, "Brother Overlord, what kind of play is Director Zhao, it seems that it was released in the Shaw Brothers Theater, we really went to the Shao Tycoon Theater to lose Yonedako??" ”

"What should I do if Tycoon Shao misunderstands? It's okay if you throw sugar cane and other garbage in the theater, and the cane bite gang often does ...... Yoneda's words?? ”

Xiaobawang Li Huaijin was speechless, "......"

After being speechless, he couldn't help but pour himself a sip of wine, his mouth full of bitterness.

………………

More than an hour later.

Or Jiulongtang broadcast, when Zhao Donghuai knocked on the door of a residential house with a flower basket and a fruit basket, and saw the light coming out, Ah Zhong immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, I came to see you, is your body okay now?" ”

This is the second day of filming in New World, and Uncle Zhong who had a car accident.

He visited Ah Zhong once after he was hospitalized, and the condition was not serious, and there was no fracture or skin trauma.

After the filming of New World is over, the strength of the Shaw Brothers gaffer recommended by Ah Zhong is also good, at least it meets Director Zhao's requirements, and it will be released immediately, once the box office hits afterwards, it is inevitable to give red envelopes to the crew members.

This lamp master, who started a business with him and collapsed halfway, can also send a red envelope, and come to visit today, which is also to show his charity and kindness as a director.

Speaking of which, the cause of Ah Zhong's car accident has been investigated clearly, he was too frightened on the first night of start-up, and stayed up all night to work, and he was in a trance on the way home to rest, and he didn't pay attention to being hit by a car, but fortunately, the car that hit the person was slow.

What a surprise.

No one wants to come.

The matter has nothing to do with Director Zhao, he feels a little wronged.

Xiaobawang Li Huaijin's crowdfunding funds were returned, and after visiting Ah Zhong, all this can be regarded as a proper understanding, and he is just waiting for the release.

After all, all kinds of advertisements are played, and trailers are also broadcast, everything that should be done is done, and the rest is to go with the flow.

It must also be noted that Director Zhao's propaganda offensive is decent, not too exaggerated, such as covering advertising posters with buses, taxi bodies, etc., he didn't do that.

Not necessarily.

New World is a gang drama, bloody and violent, cold and domineering, the tone is a little gloomy, and the reputation will not be bad, but the box office is definitely not as good as a family comedy.

Let's just say that the best partner in 1983 showed his powers, the comedy atmosphere was very strong, with a box office of more than 23 million, according to the average ticket price of 15 yuan a piece, even if many people watched it twice or three times, it was basically equivalent to more than 1.5 million people entering the theater.

The clever plan Wufuxing is also a strong comedy atmosphere, with a box office of 21.9 million, a ticket price of 15 yuan, and more than 1.4 million people have watched it.

How many people were there in Hong Kong in 1983? Aside from black households, black workers, etc., there are only 5.3 million people!

The reputation of this drama will not be bad, and it will definitely not be lost, but it is not a family comedy genre, and it is difficult to set a record at the box office.

Moreover, even if it breaks the record of showing great powers and five lucky stars...... In January 1984, the queen's secret order came, with a box office of more than 29 million, and Nima basically went to the theater to buy tickets almost 2 million people.

This is the reason why Zhao Donghuai is only decent in terms of publicity.
