Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1037 Waiting to see the outcome

For the "Brave Double Cannon" presented by Baocheng Cinemas, Xiangjiang Cinemas hardly paid much attention to it.

Everyone felt that the reputation of the two protagonists in "The Brave Double Cannon" was too weak.

Even if it is better than "Happy Ghost", "Happy Ghost" is not a movie that relies on stars to win, they rely on the support of students.

In contrast, "The Brave Double Cannon" and "Happy Ghost" also have very different audience groups.

If Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were the leading actors in "The Brave Double Cannon", then Hong Kong Cinemas and Huang Pak-ming would definitely be very nervous this time.

But if it was Wu Yaohan and Cen Jianxun, they all felt that "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation" must be a sure win this time.

Neither of the two films held any grand premiere ceremonies, but at the time of the premiere, the leading theaters under their respective theater chains were selected to hold the premiere.

"Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation" here chose the Xintiandi Theater to hold its premiere.

"The Brave Double Cannon" was chosen to be performed at the Jade Cinema.

Moreover, the selections of both sides are released on the same day, which shows that the two dramas have a strong sense of competition.

"Director Huang, this time Baocheng Cinemas has launched "The Brave Double Cannon" to compete with you. Do you think "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation" can win the box office?"

The reporter's question inevitably referred to the battle between the two theaters.

After all, readers will definitely not be interested in simply writing news about "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation".

But if the direction of the report is directed to the battle between the two theaters, readers will definitely like it very much, and this is the selling point.

As soon as Huang Baiming heard it, he knew what the purpose of the reporter's question was.

But no matter how fierce the fight was in the audience, it was naturally impossible for Huang Baiming to bring this matter up on the stage in front of the reporters.

"I made "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation" to make everyone happy, not a movie to hit anyone. As for the new movies on Baocheng Cinemas, it has nothing to do with me."

It can be heard that Huang Baiming doesn't seem to take "The Brave Double Cannon" seriously at all.

The reporter smiled immediately after hearing this, and started to write in the notebook. It was obvious from a glance that he would definitely not write anything good in it.

But Huang Baiming didn't bother to correct the other party, anyway, what he said was fine.

If there is a misunderstanding due to the reporter's random changes, then it has nothing to do with me.

At this time, the "Happy Girls Group" beside him stood like wooden stakes, with forced smiles on their faces, and their bodies were tense. One could tell that they were very nervous now.

Even though they had gone through simple interview training beforehand, when they saw these real reporters, the three girls in "Happy Girls Group" still couldn't show the grace and grace they had during the training.

They also struggled to answer the questions, if it wasn't for the presence of Huang Baiming, God knows what kind of answers they would have given.

But fortunately, with an old fox like Huang Baiming present, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, the three newcomers who had just entered the industry had nothing to ask. The reporter asked a few random questions and turned the focus to Huang Baiming.

At the same time, in the Emerald Theater on the other side, the stars are much stronger than those in Xintiandi.

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Ng Yiu-han, Shum Kin-fun, Ip Dean and others lined up for reporters to take pictures.

"Director Hong, this time "The Brave Double Cannon" will face off against "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation", what are your chances of winning?"

"Is "The Brave Double Cannon" a movie made to snipe Xiangjiang theaters?"

"It was rumored before that Mr. Lin said that he would destroy Baocheng Cinemas within two years. Can you hold on?"

Compared with the dry topic at Xintiandi, it became much hotter when it came to Jade Theater.

From the drama "The Brave Double Cannon" to the battle between Baocheng Cinemas and Xiangjiang Cinemas, all are topics that ordinary people love to hear.

"We did not shoot "The Brave Double Cannon" to snipe anyone, but simply wanted to make a movie that the audience would like. As for the odds, "Happy Ghost" had already earned 500 million at the box office, so we must be at the disadvantage. .”

Sammo Hung's answer was very modest, he defined himself as weak from the beginning.

But judging from the star lineup, "The Brave Double Cannon" can be said to be a few blocks away from "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation".

"As for the rumor you mentioned, I'm really sorry. I haven't heard about it, so I can't comment on it. If it can be confirmed to be true by then, then you are here to ask me."

Sammo Hung was playing Tai Chi. After all, it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to stand up and say in front of everyone that he would destroy Baocheng Cinemas within two years.

If you have something to say, you can say it in private, and it doesn't matter how you say it.

But when it came to the stage, a character like Lin Daoqiu would not be so stupid to say such words that would make him lose his reputation.

Unless Baocheng Cinemas and Xiangjiang Cinemas have reached the point of life and death, then perhaps Lin Daoqiu would do such a thing.

"Those reporters hope that we will fight to the death with Xiangjiang Cinemas. It is best to come up with a few big news every day, so that they will be happy."

"Otherwise? Those reporters make a living by selling news. If there is no news, it will be a huge disaster for them."

Sammo Hung is very open about this, he understands the position of those reporters very well.

But understanding is understanding, he didn't think about providing any help to the other party.

Although everyone is living for nothing, if you affect me, then Sammo Hung will not be polite to him.

"Now everyone is watching how badly "The Brave Double Cannon" will be beaten by "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation". I even heard someone say that "The Brave Double Cannon" can't break ten million, which is too much."

These rumors in the market are just casual nonsense made by ordinary people.

But when such words reached the ears of the main creator of "The Brave Double Cannon", it really made people feel very uncomfortable.

Sammo Hung also heard rumors of several samples, but he didn't take it seriously.

"There's no need to pay attention to these rumors, just do your own thing well. After all, we rely on our works for a living."

After the others heard what Sammo Hung said, they all nodded.

As for the final outcome of the two dramas, I believe there will be a conclusion after today.

So what I say now is just guessing, no matter whether it is optimistic or not, before the box office on the first day is out, even if Lin Daoqiu is standing here, I am afraid he cannot predict "The Brave Double Cannon" and "Happy Ghost". Who can get more box office in Summer Vacation.
