On the evening of September 21, Zhao Donghuai heard a knock on the door before he went out, and when he walked to open the door, he found that it was Guan Jiahui dressed up in makeup.

"Director, it's midnight at night, are you afraid?"

Sister Guan was not polite, and took the initiative to hold his arm and smiled and spoke, Zhao Donghuai smiled, "What is there to be afraid of?" ”

Speaking of which, since the last time he asked Lan Jieying to play a cameo role as a female doctor on the set, he also joked that he wanted Guan Jiahui to play his mother in the new play...... This guy hasn't been on the set for a while.

Guan Jiahui's eyes widened, "The cane bite gang is terrible, if you are not satisfied, everyone will scold the street on the spot, and they will also smash sugarcane at the main creative team." ”

"In the past, when I was still making movies, I was very nervous every time a new film was released."

Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "It's okay, I have confidence in the new world." ”

Midnight ...... As the name suggests.

It's just past dinner, and it's still early, after the midnight screening at the Shaw Mong Kok Cinema.

Tomorrow, 12 Shaw Brothers cinemas, including other leading cinemas, will be released together, many times a day, and the treatment given by Shao Tycoon is not bad.

The only thing is that the two parties share the agreement, after deducting the entertainment tax, Shaw Brothers Cinemas will take 60%, and Zhao Donghuai's Zhao Pictures will only take 40%, but this is the current clear rule of the Hong Kong Island film and television industry.

Except for a few film productions, such as New Art City, or the films of Cheng Long, Hong Jubao and others, small and medium-sized companies have this proportion.

Just like the first time I met Boss Shao, everything went according to the rules. That's it, because after the establishment of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, it took the lead in canceling the theater package system on Hong Kong Island.

If you take a package fee before releasing it according to the previous rules, it will be much more pitiful.

However, Zhao Donghuai is also satisfied, if nothing else, after the new world, he should also put up his own banner in the film industry, and he can be called a successful director.

The next moment, he looked at Guan Jiahui curiously, "How do you know that I live here?" ”

Before spending 900,000 yuan to buy this second-hand house with more than 100 square meters of broadcasting road, he lived in a hotel many times.

Guan Jiahui smiled like a flower, "Hey, you don't say a word when you buy a house, you can let me help you refer to it." ”

"Do you want to meet Du Sir and Fa Ge now?"

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "There's no hurry, but it's okay to go early." ”

Their main creative team will definitely go to the leading theater to sit in the first show and see how the audience reacts.

By the way, tonight is still the midnight scene of the Old Summer Palace, but the film directed by Li Hanshen and starring Leung Ka-fai was released in Shuangnan Cinemas, which is also a relatively large mainland-oriented cinema on Hong Kong Island.

Zhao Donghuai didn't think about contacting Shuangnan...... But I thought about it at the beginning of the time-travel, and when the first part of the new world was decided, this idea disappeared.

In this era, any film with color and violent scenes should not want to pass the trial in Shuangnan, even if there are some inappropriate color jokes in the film's lines, they will be blocked, maybe in a few years with the deepening of the reform, there will be a chance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Donghuai smiled, "After watching the midnight show, I invite you to watch the burning of the Old Summer Palace, and I don't know what their screening mode is?" ”

This film was also famous in the previous life, not to mention that Director Li and Liang Jiahui were banned by Bend, its epic visual style, Director Li really built a simulated Yuanmingyuan location in Changping, the capital during filming.

If you don't have good enough special effects, it's to burn the simulation base! It's definitely a big scene!

The first part of the two-part series of burning the Old Summer Palace achieved a box office of more than 15 million, and the second part of the curtain was released in October next month, and it also won more than 11 million.

That's not all, the island country, which should not have a good life, also took 1.3 billion yen.

1.3 billion yen is also more than 5 million US dollars in 1983!

Guan Jiahui blinked, a little confused, it was late enough to watch the midnight show, right? This little brother even wants to invite her to watch other movies??

Could it be that she is old and decrepit and can only play her mother in film and television dramas? Oh my God, it's horrible.

Forget it, let's wait and wait to see the specific box office of New World.

In other words, even if the new world has not been released and there is no result, Director Zhao will not celebrate the mansion of more than 1,000 square feet, which is a bit expected to be heroic.

………………

Tsim Sha Tsui, a tenement building.

Lan Jieying waved her hand back casually, said a few words and ran downstairs, and only ran over quickly when she saw Zhou Xingxing, Zeng Huanqian, Tony Leung and Liu Jialing on the street.

"Let's go, let's go to the Mong Kok Cinema now?"

Xingzi was so excited that he wanted to dance, "Go, but keep a low profile, I'm afraid that Director Zhao and them will be a little embarrassed to see so many of us." ”

Zeng Huanqian couldn't help but envy, "You two don't show off, be careful of being beaten!" Really, they're all classmates, we didn't even get on the TV series, you two went to the movie, it's too sour. ”

"By the way, what about Liu Qingyun and Tao Dayu? Don't you call them? Everyone is a classmate......"

Lan Jieying was stunned for a moment, "It's not good to call too many people together, in groups, if you are bumped into by acquaintances, you still think we are doing something." ”

During her studies, she had a general relationship with her classmates, so she had a good time with Zeng Huanqian, and when the two were assigned to host the 430 shuttle together, the relationship would be even better.

After a pause, Lan Jieying said again, "It's still early, but can you watch other movies first?" Even if it's not good-looking, you can talk about acting in the cinema and learn acting skills. ”

She didn't forget that after the last time, Director Zhao also asked her to prepare well, saying that she might be used in the next play, and it would not be too bad for Director Zhao to stop her alone, and it should be much better than a cameo in the new world.

Of course, before Director Zhao left, he also gave Xingzi a role, saying what kind of personal computer intelligence expert he was...... She didn't even know what a personal computer was.

But she will definitely not talk nonsense about this kind of thing, in case it reaches the ears of the director, making the other party think that she is too floating, and if she refuses to do it, it will be a shame for the adult.

Last time, Zhao Donghuai also made it clear that it was a consideration, and he was not sure whether to use her, and it depended on the performance and results of her preparation.

However, a girl who has a bad relationship with her father, is a little rebellious, and finally embraces the family again, Lan Jieying feels that she can still play it well, isn't she a girl? What boy or girl hasn't rebelled?

When a group of people were talking and laughing, excitedly wanting to take the bus on the side of the road, Xingzi walked even more ...... It's not a show-off, I like to perform since I was a child, and I have to continue if I am rejected in the training class, and I insist that he is now 21 years old, and he is on the big screen for the first time.

There are two close-ups of the big screen image, which can be regarded as the first appearance, how can young people not be excited.

The night continued to pass and finally reached midnight.

Shaw Brothers Mong Kok Theater, Zhao Donghuai, Du Qifeng, Cheng Xiaodong and others have already arrived, looking at the figures who came to buy tickets one by one and were ready to enter to watch the movie, Du Qifeng said happily, "The flow of people is not bad, and the midnight show can have four or five percent attendance, which is very good." ”

"Our play doesn't look any worse than ordinary."

Zhou Yan, who has been running for a few days to engage in various promotions, sent a loose smoke from Dole, "Du Sir, your requirements can be higher, I have been a box office poison for a few years, and I really don't want to continue to release poison!" ”

It should be said that the main creative team of such a large crew is more nervous than Zhao Donghuai, and they are all in one batch instead of one or two, two or three.

Tonight's midnight movie at the Mong Kok Cinema, in addition to the audience attracted by the publicity, or the cane bite gang, there are also many media and film critics who have been invited.

One thing to say, pure Xinding directors generally can't attract a few media and film critics, Zhao Donghuai is different...... Even Hong Xiubao didn't know where he heard about it, and thought it was Shao Tycoon who supported his 5 million filming, or Shaw Brothers props to actors and releases.

That's a gimmick.
