"Premiere?"

Zou Wenhuai threw a red invitation on the desk and said depressedly: "What the hell is Li Xuan doing?"

"Haha, don't be angry." He Chuchang, sitting opposite Zou Wenhuai, laughed and said playfully: "This time it's not just Jiahe. I heard that Princess Jin's Lei Juekun and Anle's Jiang Zhiwen have received invitations."

Although He Tuchang was persuading him, how could Zou Wenhuai not be angry?

Originally, Li Xuan and Shaw Brothers collaborated on filming this time, which gave him a sense of crisis. Although Xu Shuwen, the box office pharmacy of Jiahe, took out a "Modern Bodyguard", Zou Wenhuai still felt that it was not safe. Then he suddenly thought of the movie "Mr. Zombie" that was sold in Taiwan during the Spring Festival last year. Under the collision of inspiration, he immediately came up with a good idea for Hong Kong and Taiwan.

But he just announced the joint screening of "Modern Bodyguards" here, and Shaw Brothers announced the joint screening of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer" from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia!

Shameless! That old fox, Shao Laoliu, isn’t this the naked plagiarizing his creativity?

As a result, in a moment, all the attention of Hong Kong and Taiwan media turned to "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", and even many Southeast Asian media came here. You should know that Lin Qingxia, the goddess of art films, has not been exposed. This time, Lin Qingxia changed into a martial arts film, and the media and audience were very curious about how she would perform.

Now Li Xuan doesn’t have to worry about the promotion of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". Half of Asian media will automatically promote his publicity, which has saved him a lot of money.

Zou Wenhuai rubbed his eyebrows and asked worriedly: "Have you asked Asam if he was, how was the filming of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer"?"

"Uh..." He Chuchang hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Sam cannot say much because he signed a confidentiality contract. But he said. He said..."

"What did he say?"

He Chuchang gritted his teeth and replied in a word: "He said that after watching "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer", he felt boring and hard to swallow when watching other martial arts films."

“…”

There was a silence in the office, but the two big bosses of Jiahe fell into deep thought at the same time.

Martial arts has always been a long-lasting theme in Hong Kong movies. Although almost all the top Hong Kong box offices in recent years are comedy and kung fu movies. However, from the overall box office throughout the year, martial arts movies are even better, so only martial arts directors such as Chu Ce and Chu Yuan can be so popular with Shaw Brothers. Now, the movies created by the combination of big names such as Li Xuan, Jin Yong, Xu Chu Jie and Lin Qingxia have cast a deep shadow in Zou Wenhuai's heart.

"A great enemy!" After a long time, Zou Wenhuai picked up the invitation and murmured.

He Chuchang nodded in agreement, looked at the invitation in Zou Wenhuai and said, "If you don't want Wenhuai, I'll attend their premiere this time, and then explore the truth."

"No need." Zou Wenhuai waved his left hand and said slowly: "I'm going in person. I haven't met Uncle Six for a long time. I have to go and meet him."

"Uh..." He Chuchang was stunned for a moment, and reacted and immediately asked: "If you go, isn't that promoting their movie?"

"Hmph, the three places are in a joint show, are you still missing me, the one who holds a stinky feet?" Zou Wenhuai replied coldly. Then he opened the drawer and put the invitation in, and said casually: "Tianchang. It's almost the Chinese New Year, call Aaron back. It's probably not easy for him to live alone in the United States."

"Um."

He Chuchang nodded and asked, "What should I do with the business in the United States?"

When Zou Wenhuai heard the words of American business, he felt a headache again. Last year, Zou Wenhuai entered Hollywood with full confidence. The first step was to spend huge sums of money to co-production of "The Killer Trench" with an American film company, and also sent his powerful general Cheng Long. However, the movie was not only in Hong Kong, but also in the world.

"Killer Trench" only received $8.5 million in the United States, $5.42 million in France, $5.42 million in Japan, 540 million yen in Japan, and the worst in West Germany, it only received $170,000 in box office. In the end, the global box office was just over $20 million.

Although $20 million is more, don’t forget that “Killer Treasure” is a big movie with an investment of $10 million! It can be said that this time Jiahe made a loss to grandma’s house when he entered the international market...

"Don't worry about the United States now!" Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and said, "If Aaron doesn't come back, Hong Kong people will forget about him."

"Hey——!" He Chuchang sighed and said slowly: "Then let Ah Long come back, but will he still shoot comedy kung fu movies when he comes back?"

He Chuchang's question again made Zou Wenhuai's heart.

In the past two years, new films in Hong Kong have been released frequently. "Scary" and "Mr. Zombie" have made the spirit fantasy kung fu films popular, while "King of Killer" and "Black Man" have set off a trend of fashion kung fu films. The comedy kung fu films in the early Republic of China that were popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan have gradually become less likable. Even Chenglong's senior brother, Hong Jingbao, who is famous for comedy kung fu films, has also changed his career to study spirit fantasy kung fu films.

Zou Wenhuai is not sure now, so how should he arrange Chenglong?

……………………

"Premiere?"

Lei Juekun glanced at the invitation in his hand and threw it into the drawer. He was in a good mood recently, so he must go and join in the fun.

"Ajia, your New Art City movies are very good this time, and our Princess Jin has greatly increased the face of us." Lei Juekun said with a smile to Mai Jia, the bald man sitting opposite him.

This time, the entrepreneurial work of New Art City "Funny Age" was booming, and it won 5.18 million Hong Kong dollars in box office, which is a rare good result since Princess Jin opened. Moreover, Lei Juekun himself owns a stake in New Art City, which is equivalent to making money from both ends. However, for Lei Juekun, what is more important is that "Funny Age" has a box office of 2 million more than Shaw's "Evil Fighting Evil". Princess Jin was able to defeat Shaw, the former leader, in the Christmas season, which made Lei Juekun quite proud.

"Hehe, I have to thank Boss Lei for his appreciation." Mai Jia thanked casually. He probably guessed what the invitation in Lei Juekun's hand was, but it had nothing to do with him for the time being. So he touched his bald head, smacked his lips and continued, "But if "The Funny Age" can be released in the New Year..."

"Haha, Ajia, if "The Funny Age" was released in the New Year's Era, it would probably be a loss." Lei Juekun interrupted Maijia's words with a loud laugh.

Mai Jia pondered for a while, nodded helplessly and replied: "That's true."

"So..." Lei Juekun picked up a report on his desk and said: "When you asked me to schedule the schedule with the two movies "Funny Times" and "Happy Fairy Nest", I ranked the better "Funny Times" in the Christmas period, and the less "Happy Fairy Nest" in the New Year period."

"Mr. Lei can see thoroughly!" Mai Jia praised the big financial supporter in front of him.

"Oh, what's my name? I'm just self-aware." Lei Juekun put down the report in his hand: "But Ajia, do you know what's wrong with me coming here this time?"

"Uh..." Mai Jia shook her head honestly: "Mr. Lei, I really don't know."

Lei Juekun did not speak this time, but pushed the report to Mai Jia. He looked at Lei Juekun in confusion, and Mai Jia picked up the report casually. He looked carefully and found that the report was the movie project list for "Funny Times" and "Happy Gods and Fairy Nest".

"Ajia..." Lei Juekun put his right hand on the desk and tapped gently. He looked at Mai Jia, who was still confused, and continued: "Don't you think there is something missing in Xinyi City?"

Mai Jia then suddenly realized and put down the report in her hand, and then said with a sad face: "Boss Lei, are you talking about the director?"

Although Jiahe and Shaw secretly issued a "ban order" to Princess Jin, prohibiting actors and directors from filming for Princess Jin, this secret order is useless for many film companies. Among these film companies, the most interesting one is Baoxianghe New Century.

Baoxiang is Hong Jingbao's sole proprietorship film company, and Hong Jingbao and Zou Wenhuai's personal relationship is very good. For example, the movie "Happy Fairy Nest" released in the New Year of the Golden Princess Theater was found by Wuma, the director of the New Art City. Wuma, as a veteran of the Hong family class, had to turn a blind eye and not pursue it.

As for the New Century, it is even more funny. This film company is actually Shaw Yifu's industry. Of course, the New Century does not belong to the Shaw brothers, but is a subsidiary of the TVB. This film company that can't shoot two movies a year is now inviting Shaw's Chu Yuan to co-star with Princess Jin to film Gu Long's famous novel "Flying Knife Again".

At this point, the "ban order" issued by Jiahe and Shaw Brothers has become a secret joke.

The two movies that Xinyi City started their business are also works by outsiders. This kind of thing is a very dangerous thing for Lei Juekun, who intends to integrate production and distribution, so he had to come to Mai Jia to talk about this.

Mai Jia was also worried at this time. He, Shi Tian and Huang Baiming were not director-type talents. Good directors are both short-term products in Hong Kong and are so hard that they are seen by various companies and have no way to start poaching people.

Now, where do they go to find a good director? (To be continued...)
