Chapter 107 The difference between sons

It seems that Zou Wenhuai has shot himself in the foot this time.

The Jin Princess Cinema's distributor's ability to issue foreign land has always been its shortcomings. This time, Zou Wenhuai gathered all the cinema dealers in other lands to celebrate the celebration banquet, and even showed off to invite Lei Juekun. If this Lei person didn't bite two pieces of fat, he would not give up.

However, Li Xuan shrugged. The more fierce the theater business, the better the better. Only then can we, the small sole proprietorship production companies, take advantage of it.

As the director of "The Junior Brother", Chenglong is the leading actor and screenwriter, and the number one hero of the movie box office exceeding 10 million. At this time, people are constantly asking him to toast, and he also refuses everyone, drinking one cup after another.

Zou Wenhuai became much more steady. He held a glass of wine to greet guests everywhere and contacted him. Half a day passed, and more than half of the wine in the wine glass was left. He began to observe Lei Juekun from time to time, and probably later he figured it out. What could happen if he saw Lei Juekun poaching? He couldn't drive him out. So he started moving on his own.

"Axuan, do we want to go over and toast Along with a glass of wine?" Wang Jinbian asked while eating the fish balls in his mouth.

Li Xuan glanced at Hong Jingbao, who looked a little weird next to him, and smiled casually: "No, we are so familiar with Aaron, we are not short of a glass of wine."

"Uh..." Wang Jin glanced at Li Xuan strangely. When did we get very familiar with Aaron?

Li Xuan ignored Wang Jin's thoughts and started eating it on his own. He rarely ate the authentic abalone and shark fin banquet, so he should not treat himself badly.

But not long after, Zou Wenhuai came to Li Xuan's table with a wine glass.

"Uncle Huai, congratulations!" Li Xuan quickly stood up and raised his glass and smiled.

"Haha, Axuan, I have to tell you this too." Zou Wenhuai laughed and said happily: "Everyone, be happy together!"

"Uh..." Li Xuan was confused by these words, but when he remembered his recent matters related to Jiahe, Li Xuan asked in a lit up eyes: "Uncle Huai, is Mr. Zombie selling well in Taiwan?"

"Mr. Zombie" was released in Taiwan. Li Xuan has no internal relationships and is too lazy to go to Jiahe to ask about the box office every week. So, in addition to knowing that the movie is very popular in Taiwan, the specific box office numbers are not known at all. However, "Mr. Zombie" has been released in Taiwan for three consecutive weeks. If the box office is not good, it would have been removed long ago.

"It's not just good, it's simply very good." Zou Wenhuai nodded slightly and responded: "The box office is now NT$12 million. Wow, this result can rank among the top five in Taiwan's box office list last year."

"What!"

This exclamation was not made by Li Xuan, but by Hong Jingbao, who was standing beside him, accidentally.

NT$12 million, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars, is only over 2 million. Although the money is small, it is a movie that can sell tens of millions of box offices in Taiwan. It is definitely not easy to sell tens of millions of box offices in Taiwan. Why did Chu Yuan make a fortune in Shaw Brothers? Other directors have declined or changed careers. He is still filming his martial arts films because his movies can often sell tens of millions of box offices in Taiwan, and he is also called "Chu Qianwan".

But Liu Chuwei is not Chu Yuan, he is just a new director, and "Mr. Zombie" is not a martial arts film, but it can be sold for tens of millions in Taiwan. Hong Jingbao suddenly thought of the movie "Scared People", which caused a movie craze last year, and he still felt regretful. If he had not launched this script and invested by himself, his movie box office record might have exceeded the 10 million mark in Hong Kong and caught up with his junior brother.

But now, this honor no longer belongs to him. Hong Jingbao felt a little sad, but if he thought about it carefully, there is another good point, that is, the actors in it are all from the Hong family class. If the Hong Kong box office of the movie really exceeds tens of millions, it will be considered to have made his junior brothers famous.

"Why, Sanmao is very surprised. I was also shocked when I heard the results." Zou Wenhuai was not aware of the inside story, but instead looked at Hong Jingbao and teased him, and continued to say to Li Xuan: "But I heard that Liu Chuwei, the director of this drama, was injured while watching a movie in Taiwan?"

"Yes, but Uncle Huai, don't worry, Tu Wei's injury is fine," Li Xuan explained with a chuckling: "When the Hong Kong box office comes out, I will definitely give him a big red envelope."

"That's right, by the way, you must have to promote the early stages of "Mr. Zombie" this Sunday midnight show." Zou Wenhuai still reminded himself.

"Haha, Uncle Huai, don't worry, this movie can be over 10 million in box office in Taiwan, and it's okay to not have a midnight show." Li Xuan said confidently.

"That's not necessarily true, don't be careless." Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said seriously: "Your 10 million in Taiwan is not as good as the five Hong Kong film critics praise the movie in the newspaper. So, the existence of midnight shows still has a certain intention."

"Uh, Uncle Huai is right, it's because I'm too careless." Li Xuan thought for a while, nodded and admitted his mistake.

No matter how good the box office in Taiwan is, it is a sea of ​​separation, but the praise from the film critics fell directly on the newspaper, and was only less than half a meter away from the audience. Which one is better or worse can be seen at a glance.

"By the way, Uncle Huai, when will Yongsheng's movie be released?" Li Xuan remembered the movie "King of Killers" that had been suppressed for several months and asked casually.

"Yongsheng? Oh, you said the one you filmed for Huaqiang." Zou Wenhuai was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then smiled and said, "I will put it on the third day of next month. I want to make the whole spring of Hong Kong the world of Jiahe! Haha..."

"Uncle Huai, you have the courage!" Li Xuan raised his glass with a smile and praised, but he was already cursing in his heart.

This is the difference between a real son and a godson. One month before the release of "The Junior Brother", Jiahe did not arrange for any influential movies to be released, for fear of arousing the audience's viewing craze in advance and leading to the box office failure of "The Junior Brother". Now it's the turn of Li Xuan and other sole proprietorship production companies, so I wish all of them were released in one go. There is a buffer period of less than a week between the two movies.

However, Li Xuan comforted himself, at least one week's buffer period. Unlike some movies, they were released at the same time as blockbusters, and they went with them all at once, such as the unlucky Fighting Film Company.

Mai Jia and Shi Tian were very depressed at this time. Even if their good friend Xu Ke kept talking to them, they just echoed with each other and had no interest in speaking.

Mai Jia, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming jointly opened a Struggle Film Company, and then the three of them worked together to create a movie called "Crazy Big Crazy" before the New Year. They thought the movie was pretty good, so they came to Jiahe, hoping to be released in a good schedule.

Jiahe really arranged a good schedule for them, which was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which was February 16th. That was the New Year's time! One of the most profitable golden periods of the movie.

Of course, it would be even better if "The Junior Brother" was released a week ago.

So "The Crazy Big Fraud" became a tragedy, its popularity was not as good as "The Junior Brother", and the number of theaters was not as good as "The Junior Brother". It was released for 12 days and was rushing down, and it was less than "Modern Mummy". But something even more annoying came. In these 12 days, the box office of "The Crazy Big Fraud" actually reached 3.12 million.

Mai Jia and the other two were so angry that they vomited blood. If "The Crazy Crazy" was put on the screening after the New Year's Eve, would the box office double? Jiahe would not be so disgusting!

They were stabbed by Jiahe in the chest and were invited to attend the celebration banquet of "The Junior Brother Takes Horse". Isn't this just another handful of salt on their wounds? Huang Baiming was so angry that he said he was sick and didn't come.

"Hey, why is this table so quiet?"

A male voice suddenly asked in Mai Jia's ear. When he looked up, Mai Jia found that it was Lei Juekun, the owner of Princess Golden Cinema, which had been in trouble recently in Hong Kong.

"Lei Xian..."

As soon as Mai Jia and Shi Tian were about to stand up and say hello, Lei Juekun pressed his hands and said, "Sit down, Boss Mai, let's sit down and talk." After that, Lei Juekun pulled an empty chair and sat down at Mai Jia's table.

Of course, Xu Ke and Wu Yusen did not plan to stand up. They are now relying on Jiahe to make a living, so it is not advisable to be too close to Princess Jin.

"Boss Mai, I like your movie very much." Lei Juekun sat down and smiled, "I have watched all the movies like "Tiger Frog", "Fate-fighting Sword" and the most recent movie "Crazy Big Flying".

"Oh? Thank you Boss Lei for your love here first!" Mai Jia touched her bald head and bowed and smiled.

"Haha, what's the point of raising love or not?" Lei Juekun asked tentatively: "I am just a creative project in the theater, it's just the need..."

"Ahem..."

Lei Juekun's words were interrupted, but Shi Tian choked on the wine. He looked at Shi Tian strangely, and Lei Juekun was about to continue speaking.

"Old Mai..."

"Boss Zou! Congratulations." Mai Jia suddenly stood up and said loudly behind Lei Juekun with a smile.
