Now he really wants to scold Mr. Xu for being such a jerk, let’s see what you can do!

It’s no wonder Zou Daheng isn’t angry. When he supported Mr. Xu’s filming, he wholeheartedly supported him. He paid him readily and met all his requests one by one. But what kind of thing did he give to himself?

When Mr. Xu was filming Jiahe Shushan, it was in 1982. At that time, Mr. Xu was still just starting out. Although he was very talented, he only showed his talent in literary films and dramas.

Zou Daheng saw that he was very talented, so he wanted to recruit him. Investing in Shushan was a tentative move. Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu wanted to play something big and make a special effects movie that Xiangjiang had never done before.

They consider themselves to be pioneers in the Hong Kong film field. When they saw this project, they gritted their teeth and agreed. For this purpose, they also recruited their old rival actors Qiu Guan and Lin Qingxia from Wanwan to star.

It can be said that they worked hard on this movie and spent a lot of money. This movie cost more than 20 million, and this was in 1982!

The salary of artists will be nothing compared to what it is now four years later. The salary of actors in the film and television industry has increased more than two or three times compared to before.

This is mainly because in the field of TV dramas, all three TV stations have stars. Once TV drama stars become popular, their influence will radiate throughout Southeast Asia, so the pay will also rise accordingly.

The same is true when it comes to movies. DreamWorks Cinemas has opened up all the channels in Southeast Asia. Compared with the original time and space, the movie company makes more money and the film has a larger audience. In this case, the actors' remuneration is also rising rapidly.

In short, Jiahe provided manpower and material support to Old Monster Xu, but what the hell did he do? It was bullshit!

They hurriedly canceled the show half a month after its release. The box office in Hong Kong was 15 million, which was embarrassing!

The money they invested was 25 million. Before the movie was released, they promoted it vigorously, saying that this movie would be the first to launch Oriental Xianxia and special effects movies, and the box office would definitely break the box office record at the time.

After some bragging, I even believed it, but the movie received rave reviews as soon as it was released. Professional film critics said it was a soulless movie with a fragmented story, no logic, and nonsense. Anyway, they called it a stinker.

That shit is political correctness!

The general audience was also at a loss, not knowing what the director wanted to express. Apart from seeing Qiu Guan being as free and unrestrained as ever, and Qing Xia being a chivalrous girl born in heaven, the whole audience could only laugh!

This movie has always been a pain for Zou Daheng!

I feel that I am still too young, and it is a bit unconsidered to let a director with no experience in large-scale scenes direct such a large-scale production!

Also, he still doesn't think Old Monster Xu can make such a movie well, so they came here today just to watch DreamWorks' jokes, so it would be best if they just somersaulted.

To be honest, their Jiahe status is a bit shaky now!

Although the money is not less, it still needs to be compared horizontally. Let’s not talk about DreamWorks. The proper boss cannot run away.

During this period, New Art City was like a fierce tiger coming out of the cage, with movies being launched one after another, and large and small productions continuing.

This is all due to his wealth. Tycoon Lei is now constantly increasing his stake in Xinyi City. He personally holds more than 70% of it, and the other shareholders have not made any trouble at this time.

Everyone is working part-time, so what’s the fuss?

Also, in the past, New Art City’s shares were uneven. Lei Tycoon also made very good adjustments when increasing his shareholding. Even Zeng Aizi could hold a certain share. They are a group of filmmakers.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

There are currently five people left in the Big Seven of New Art City. They are Mai Jia, Shi Tian, ​​Huang Baiming, Zeng Aizi, and Teddy Robin. They all currently hold certain shares.

Tycoon Lei now wants to list his film company on the stock market. In this case, he can make a lot of money, wouldn't it be great?

Of course he knows that making movies is not as profitable as the stock market, but if you want to make money, you must have relatively glorious results, right?

Therefore, Jiahe was under great pressure!

This is also the reason why Zou Daheng asked Zhao Hong to quickly launch the second part of "Police Story" before the movie was released.

Zou Daheng just watched Shushan. At the beginning, he watched it with a casual attitude. He just watched it. Damn it!

It’s so beautiful, and the plot is easy to understand! The costumes are also very good, the plot is touching, and the foreshadowing is well laid out.

At first, I was still commenting like this in my mind, but halfway through, I suddenly got into the plot, and I came back to my senses after the movie was over.

He felt that the movie was stable, but why was he heartbroken?

Zou Daheng and He Guanchang looked at each other with helpless expressions. Their resentment towards Old Monster Xu is now beyond the limit.

If Mr. Xu knew about it, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. The script of this movie was carefully crafted, and he also participated in the script creation before the filming of his movie started.

But she was a little depressed during the filming of this movie, that is, she wanted to modify the plot halfway through, but the film producer rejected it, saying that she could only develop it within the framework of the script.

This made him very uncomfortable, and he felt that his space for performance was limited. Although he was also involved in writing the script, his inspiration came to him at any time, and he was most inspired during filming.

It's just that all these inspirations of his are suppressed. Doesn't this make him feel uncomfortable?

Zhao Hong always asked Shi Nansheng to suppress him whenever he wanted to perform. Mr. Xu was very talented, but his desire for expression was too strong.

In a word, he has too much private life in his movies, which will affect the audience's experience.

Old Monster Xu saw that the depression in his heart had dissipated after the audience cheered after the movie. He gave himself an explanation in his heart, and maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to restrain himself.

After the main creator came on stage and talked about his journey, the premiere was finally completed.

When Zou Daheng and He Guanchang returned to the company's car, both of them were speechless and choked. Why didn't they have such luck?

After being quiet for a while, Zou Daheng said: "Achang, how much box office do you think this movie can have?"

He Guanchang said uncertainly: "It's hard to say! This movie is considered a special effects movie. There is no accurate assessment of the Hong Kong movie. My personal estimate is that it will cost more than 35 million!"

"I heard that they spent more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars on this movie. It seems that they can't make it back in China." Zou Daheng said to himself.

"Alas! So what! Their channels are so deep, and the movie is being released simultaneously throughout Southeast Asia. It's hard not to make money!" He Guanchang said, spreading his hands.

Zou Daheng was speechless!

He said: "I heard that the script of this movie was polished before filming started. I think the effect is very good. How about we try this too?"

There are not many secrets among colleagues. Jiahe is also paying attention to the information about this movie, so knowing some details is not a big deal.

"We! We can form a screenwriting team, but the role it can play is very small. Our company uses a satellite system, and the bosses of these small companies are afraid that they won't let us polish the script." He Guanchang said a little helplessly.

Jiahe itself makes very few films. They let satellite companies make films independently. They just invest money. This is to mobilize the enthusiasm of these companies and let them be the masters. After they have their own autonomy, they will make films independently.

I work hard during the movie.
Chapter completed!
