Chapter 40: The Crooked Newspaper

"Old, give me all the newspapers you have!" Li Xuan said proudly with a wave of his hand. According to the theory of Hong Kong Entertainment novels, the protagonist's first movie will definitely cause a sensation. The next day, all the headlines on the front page of the newspaper were praised in a rush. How could he miss it?

Lao Qi looked up at Qi Mingxing who was still vaguely hanging on the oriental sky. Finally, he couldn't help it and scolded: "Stop, it's not yet dawn, where did the newspaper come from? Do you want it yesterday?"

"Ah? No, no! Haha, I'm sorry!" Li Xuan, who was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night, was embarrassed again this time, and cowardly picked up the hundred-dollar bills from the newspaper stall and stood aside.

Li Xuan squatted beside the newspaper stall. The consequences of not sleeping all night appeared. His mind was confused, and his head kept hanging down and then suddenly lifted up.

After a while, Li Xuan seemed to hear the sound of the bicycle vaguely.

"Uncle Qi, your newspaper!" a little boy said in the voice.

"Oh, okay, okay. Weizai, you are so diligent, much earlier than Ajian before!"

newspaper!

Li Xuan suddenly became energetic, touched the corner of his eyes, opened his eyes and looked at the newspaper stall. However, he saw a little boy throwing several bundles of newspapers at him and throwing them on the newspaper stall.

"Is it all right? Uncle Qi."

"It's all together, it's all!"

"Uncle Qi, I'm going to the next house." The little boy patted his clothes and said.

Lao Qi waved his hand: "Go quickly, I'll go home early after I'm sending you!"

"Oh, then Uncle Qi is bye."

"Bye-Bye!"

As the little boy said that, he rode on the bicycle and flew out with a heavy bicycle. Li Xuan rubbed the corners of his eyes hard, and he felt that the little boy's side face looked so familiar. Unfortunately, when he rubbed the eyes covered in his eyes, he only saw the child's back as he left.

"Old, is the one who delivered the newspaper a replacement?" Li Xuan stood up and asked.

Lao Qitou untied the rope from the newspaper while responding angrily: "Yes!"

"Uh..." The old man had a little bad attitude. Li Xuan asked carefully and tentatively: "What's the name of the newcomer?"

"I don't know, I only know that I'm called Weizai, it's not right!" Lao Qitou suddenly looked at Li Xuan: "Didn't you just buy a newspaper? Why do you ask so much?"

"Ahh!" Li Xuan touched the back of his head: "Didn't this mean you are still removing the ropes, just ask casually."

"I'm so nervous!" Lao Qitou put the untied newspaper on the newspaper stall: "Take it yourself, give it as much as the newspaper you take."

"Oh!" Li Xuan responded and grabbed the newspaper on the stall. Originally, there should be critics commenting on a movie at midnight, but unfortunately, Li Xuan happened to encounter the mainland withdrawing troops from Yuelan that day. The war that Li Xuan remembered that several months had ended in just half a month. As a result, the newspapers in Hong Kong were full of news on that aspect, which made Li Xuan's movie release not cause any waves.

I don’t believe it this time, it’s still so miserable!

"Ming Pao Morning Post, Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Morning Post, Xinbao. Chengbao, Wenhui Daily, and another Overseas Chinese Daily" Li Xuan threw the money at the stall: "Old Qi, I'm leaving, don't look for it!"

The main magazine was not read, it was all the follow-up discussion of the war! Li Xuan took out all the entertainment supplements of the newspaper and put them together.

"Look at the Ming Pao Morning Post first!" Li Xuan opened the newspaper.

"Uh..." Li Xuan looked at the front page of the entertainment version speechlessly.

"Qin Xianglin, Deng Lijun's Roman holiday!"

When I looked closely, a movie fan saw Qin Xianglin and Deng Lijun joining hands to enjoy the "Roman holiday". The fan also stepped forward to ask for a photo, but was politely rejected by Qin Xianglin.

"Sher—" Li Xuan hissed his back teeth, OK! Deng Lijun is the Asian queen at this time, so she can't compare to her, but why is there no news about her movie on the front page?

Turning to the second edition, Li Xuan finally saw an article the size of a tofu chunk.

""Gentleman" - a new direction for horror films? Strange talk about the evolution of movies?"

Li Xuan looked carefully, but the content was a little praise for the movie, saying that the unique Oriental Horror, the content, style, and inner consciousness were in sharp contrast with the overall atmosphere of the world's horror films. It is a rare and good movie. However, the article also pointed out the film's weakness in plot and the lack of shooting techniques.

"Hehe!" Li Xuan giggled. Although the article is relatively small and not on the front page, the content sounds very good.

Li Xuan then opened the Wenhui Daily again. He didn't have to read the front page, but Deng Lijun's scandal was just a scandal. He turned to the second page. This is not a tofu block, which occupies most of the page.

"Aversion to chills! "Curse"! A horror film that is horrible for the sake of horror!"

Now Li Xuan is too lazy to read the content, and the title is good at first glance. He just threw down this newspaper and read what other newspapers said first! As usual, it is definitely not the front page.

"The Curse, four people were stunned in one night! - "Sing Tao Morning News""

"The world of death after domestic violence, discussing the dark causes of movies. - "Chengbao""

"The black world of domestic violence, the suppressed plot causes controversy! - "Oriental Daily""

"The white evil spirit deep in the hearts of the people, and the dead spirit after domestic violence. - Xinbao"

Well, Li Xuan was stunned. He was shocked again last night? Moreover, why did these newspapers talk about domestic violence after the arrival? Li Xuan looked through the last "Overseas Chinese Daily", but the newspaper was broken and he didn't see any news about "Curse".

This? It's a bit different from what I expected! Li Xuan didn't think about it either. The new shooting techniques, new movie types, and box office on the premiere day have not yet come out. A few film critics dared to boast about it, and they should wait first and play the edge. If the box office of the movie is good, they will be allowed to praise or derogatory.

"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai put down a copy of the "Sing Tao Daily" in his hand, sat on the boss's chair and asked He Chuchang opposite him: "Tichang, are the four people who were shocked last night okay?"

"Hey, you asked me, Yongchang has always been in charge of theaters." He Chuchang, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "But I guess this movie should have a good box office. I have never seen a movie that scares so many people at once."

"Haha, I guess it's not bad. By the way, how much box office has "Ghost Calling Spring" sold on Shaw Brothers? Have you received the news?"

"Hmph!" He Guanchang pursed his lips: "It was 1.3 million yesterday, and it is estimated that it is even less today. Even if you beat it to death, you can't get 1.4 million."

"Oh..." Zou Wenhuai sighed and continued to ask: "That Aaron..."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

A knock on the door interrupted Zou Wenhuai's words.

"Please come in!"

With a "click", the door opened and a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked in. The visitor was Cai Yongchang, one of the giants of Jiahe Company, responsible for the distribution business of theaters and movies.

"Wenhuai, good news!" Cai Yongchang said loudly as soon as he entered the door.

Zou Wenhuai looked at a report in Cai Yongchang's hand and asked, "Has the box office statistics been released yesterday?"

"Twenty-eight thousand!" Cai Yongchang said, "The report in his hand."

Zou Wenhuai was stunned when he heard this and quickly said, "Show me the report!" He couldn't help but be in a hurry. If the box office was 280,000 on the first day of the filming, the total box office could be 4 million, and even extend the screening time to reach the 5 million mark, just like Jiahe's "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Box" that just ended the screening.

"Tsk tsk!" Zou Wenhuai shook his head at the report in his hand, as if he couldn't believe the data in front of him.

"Wenhuai, I heard that the guy who made this movie was done by himself?" Cai Yongchang asked from the side.

Zou Wenhuai, who was reading the report, nodded and replied: "Yes!"

"Then why didn't you dig him into our company?"

"Haha!" Zou Wenhuai threw the report onto the seat and said with a smile: "It's all because of Luo Wei and Sanmao. Now we all know that starting a company and working with our Jiahe is the most profitable, so why do we still have to come to our company?"

Cai Yongchang nodded after hearing this, suddenly remembered the name Luo Wei, turned to He Chuchang beside him and asked, "Chi Chang, how is A Long's affairs?"
