The next day, the news related to the premiere of "Hurricane Rescue" appeared on the entertainment pages of major media in Xiangjiang.

As for the film itself, those critics adhered to professional ethics, which was basically a brush-off.

There is really nothing to write about, like this kind of good people defeat bad guys, and justice defeats evil, there are no 100 Hong Kong films before, and 80 have been filmed.

Even if it is filmed, many of the scenes can be found similarly from the previous old movies.

The only thing that really deserves to be mentioned is Zhang Chu's fight scenes in the movie, as well as those dangerous scenes of fighting for his life.

It is difficult for Xiangjiang audiences who have been nourished by Cheng Long's movies to accept a superhero of the same style, but the appearance of Zhang Chu fills the gap left by Cheng Long after he broke into Hollywood.

"It's all here."

Chen Lan came to the living room with a large stack of newspapers and put it in front of Xiang Huaqiang.

"So much?"

Xiang Huaqiang showed a hint of surprise slightly.

Chen Lan smiled: "Do you think the money is spent in vain?" ”

Xiang Huaqiang also laughed, picked up a newspaper, and the picture of the related news was the scene of Zhang Chu jumping off the helicopter.

The photo was provided to the media by Yongsheng.

"Haven't the box office numbers come out yet?"

"I have to wait a little longer, Jiahe has always been unable to do things quickly."

Xiang Huaqiang nodded: "How did you talk to those two ghosts?" ”

From the very beginning, the movie "Hurricane Rescue" aimed at Europe and the United States.

At yesterday's premiere, Yongsheng also specially invited people from Columbia, Inc. in the United States.

"I didn't let go, I didn't talk about it, and I didn't say a word to the point."

"We're not in a hurry, wait and see, as long as the box office in the first week doesn't fall, when the time comes, it's their turn to beg us."

When Chen Lan heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "You are so confident in this film." ”

Xiang Huaqiang shook his head: "I have confidence in that person." ”

Zhang Chu!

"I haven't seen a finished film before, and I was shocked yesterday, you say...... Is it possible for Zhang Chu to replace Cheng Long? ”

Xiang Huaqiang put down the newspaper: "Mrs. Xiang, it's too childish, I put such a big bet on him, I don't just hope that he can replace Cheng Long." ”

Hearing this, Chen Lan was even more surprised.

"Could it be that he can still become the new Bruce Lee?"

"Does Bruce Lee have what he can do?"

If Xiang Huaqiang's words are heard by Bruce Lee believers all over the world, I am afraid that Zhang Chu will be hacked out.

As the first Chinese to break into Hollywood with his fists, Bruce Lee is not only a kung fu star, but also a spiritual symbol.

Especially after his unexpected death, it was even more mythical to the infinite.

"Wait and see! Zhang Chu has no upper limit in the future, and we are lucky to be able to eat the first dividend. ”

Although Chen Lan is also very optimistic about Zhang Chu, she is not as confident as Xiang Huaqiang.

"Let's take a look at the data first, there are so many favors in this time, if it doesn't meet expectations, the sequel will be ...... later"

In order for "Hurricane Rescue" to get off to a good start, Xiang Huaqiang has worked hard this time.

Just in time for Golden Harvest, there was no big production in this schedule in October.

Yesterday, all Golden Harvest Shaw Brothers United Cinemas in Xiangjiang screened "Hurricane Rescue" for three consecutive screenings starting from 6 o'clock.

If it is really like Chen Lan said, the box office results cannot meet expectations, Zou Wenhuai and Shao Laoliu will definitely not continue to play with them, reduce the number of films, and shorten the screening cycle is certain.

"Where's Zhang Chu?"

"He went to see Liu Weiqiang, and it seems that the drama is about to start."

As she spoke, Chen Lan's phone rang.

"Hey, it's me, how much?"

Chen Lan's voice instantly raised, startling Xiang Huaqiang, who was reading the newspaper.

He had never seen Chen Lan have such a gaffe.

Chen Lan acts, although she has always been in a hurry, but she has always been calm when she encounters major events.

"Okay, I know, I'll tell Mr. Xiang."

After saying that, he put down his phone.

"What's wrong? Is the data out? ”

Chen Lan nodded slowly.

"How much? It shouldn't be too bad! ”

Although Xiang Huaqiang's tone sounded casual, in fact, his heart had already raised his throat.

"The Legend of Shushan" has suffered serious losses, and if "Hurricane Rescue" hits the street again, the signboard of Yongsheng will really not be able to maintain.

"3.5 million."

"How much?"

Even if Xiang Huaqiang is strong, he can't stay calm at the moment.

With a single-day box office of 3.5 million, which was the last movie that could reach 3 million Hong Kong dollars in a single-day box office?

No!

What about this year's box office rankings?

The first place is "Shaolin Football" directed and acted by Zhou Xingchi, which broke 60 million at the box office in two and a half months after its release, and the second place is also directed by Du Qifeng, produced by Yongsheng, starring Liu Dehua and Zheng Xiuwen "Thin Men and Women", with a box office of 40 million, and the third place is "Spy Maze" starring Cheng Long, with a box office of 30 million.

Further back, it is still produced by Yongsheng and directed by Du Qifeng "Zhong Wuyan", but this movie lost money, and the box office was only 27 million.

"Hurricane Rescue" can reach 3.5 million at the box office in a single day, although it is brought by increasing the number of films, but if it continues at this time, it may be able to break the box office record of 60 million in "Shaolin Football" and become this year's box office champion.

It is also the first place in the box office list of Xiangjiang film history.

The temptation is just too great.

"What about attendance?"

Chen Lan couldn't suppress her excitement at the moment, who didn't want to be the first.

It will go down in history, and it doesn't matter if the record will be broken in the future, as long as it has appeared in that position, it will always be remembered.

"I'll ask now."

Chen Lan hurriedly picked up her mobile phone, found a number and dialed it.

When waiting for the other party to connect, he kept walking around the house, so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Hey, May, I just forgot to ask you, how is the attendance? Oh! Okay, I got it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Chen Lan slowed down for a long time before saying to Xiang Hua.

"97%, and this is because United Cinemas added a midnight show, otherwise, the attendance rate of only three consecutive screenings would be 100%."

Call......

Xiang Huaqiang let out a long breath and was about to speak, when his mobile phone rang.

People from cinema companies.

Looking at Xiang Huaqiang's mouth shape, Chen Lan knew the identity of the other party.

"Hey! Mr. Gao, what do you care about? ”

In order to strive for more film scheduling, Xiang Huaqiang also had to say all the good things.

Now the situation is different, as the so-called offensive and defensive changes, the box office data on the first day of "Hurricane Rescue" has given Xiang Huaqiang a strong capital.

"How?"

For half an hour, seeing Xiang Huaqiang put down his mobile phone, Chen Lan couldn't wait to ask.

"Continue to increase the number of films, and at the same time, Golden Harvest hopes to get the agency rights of this film in Dongying."

Chen Lan couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "Jiahe is too greedy, right?" The agency rights of Treasure Island and Southeast Asia have been given to them, and now even Dongying wants it. ”

"If you want, give it to him."

Chen Lan was puzzled: "Why?" Although Dongying's ticket warehouse is not as good as that of North America, it is ...... after all"

"We can't reach that side yet."

Hearing this, Chen Lan was also a little frustrated.

Xiang Huaqiang is right, don't talk about Dongying, even if it is a treasure island close at hand, Yongsheng's hand still can't stretch out.

In Hong Kong's film industry, the largest foreign film distributor is actually Golden Harvest.

All the films that want to be exported to the outside world must be passed by Golden Harvest.

At the beginning, Xinyicheng didn't believe in evil, what was the result?

Now it's long gone.

"This time it's cheaper for them."

"What if Golden Harvest also thinks of representation in Europe and North America?"

When Xiang Huaqiang heard this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Our Xiang family is not easy to bully, within the rules, we do things according to the rules, but if the rules are outside, it depends on whether they can afford to play."

When Chen Lan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she was unwilling to let go in the face of huge benefits.

"The most important thing now is Zhang Chu, as long as our cooperation can continue, Yongsheng may not be able to surpass Jiahe in the future, Zou Wenhuai can rely on a Bruce Lee to fight against Shao Lao Liu, and now I can also rely on Zhang Chu to deal with Zou Wenhuai."

Chen Lan heard this: "You mean that in the next movie, Zhang Chu's salary will be raised?" ”

"It is necessary to increase the salary, we can't be stingy in terms of interests, don't lose big because of small things, but emotional investment can't be less, he is a person in love, and he can't be tied up by interests alone."

"Ah Zuo?"

Xiang Huaqiang nodded: "I have been talking about apprenticeship, although Zhang Chu is also willing to point out Ah Zuo, but after all, there is no formal apprenticeship ceremony, and when we find an opportunity, we will make up for it with great fanfare." ”

"That's a good thing! I'll arrange it. ”

"There are also some people who pay attention, Zhang Chu is in Xiangjiang, no matter what happens, we will solve it."

This requires the use of some extraordinary means.

Many troubles that cannot be solved by normal channels, Xiang Huaqiang naturally has other ways to solve them.

"Also, hurry up and get the script and let that Robert. Carmen hurry up, at the end of the year, I'm going to see the second script of this film, and this time I'm going to be the real big cast. ”

The investment of 70 million can no longer meet the ambition of Xiang Huaqiang, and if you want to really enter the European and American markets, you must not be ambiguous in terms of production costs.

Chen Lan was a little surprised: "So urgent? ”

Xiang Huaqiang said: "Don't be in a hurry, you don't have to wait for this film to be painted, I believe that Hollywood investors will come to Zhang Chu." ”

"It's just a movie, it shouldn't be so fast, right?"

"How not? This "Hurricane Rescue" is completely a Hollywood commercial film model, whether Zhang Chu can adapt to Hollywood, just watch this movie. ”

As a filmmaker, Xiang Huaqiang's vision is still very unique.

Chen Lan thinks that she can't compare with this at all, since Xiang Huaqiang said so, she just needs to do it.

"Over there in the theater, is it for people to stare at?"

Xiang Huaqiang knew what Chen Lan was worried about.

"There's no need, they don't dare to play tricks with us."
