Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1075 "Merry Christmas"

Lin Daoqiu and Brigitte Lin didn't stay in Neon for too long. After the promotion, they returned to Xiangjiang directly.

And this time he originally planned to meet with Junko to reminisce about the old days, but Matsuoka told Lin Daoqiu that Junko had gone to film in another place and would not be able to come back soon.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Daoqiu didn't let Matsuoka Isao inform Junko, and let her concentrate on acting. The meeting can only wait for the next time.

But before Lin Daoqiu had time to rest after returning to Xiangjiang, Fang Jinsheng told him a very interesting thing.

The ratings of "Mute Girl Ah Fang" have been suppressed by "Chu Liuxiang" in the early stage.

But at the beginning of the tenth episode, the ratings of "Dumb Girl Ah Fang" began to soar, and even surpassed "Chu Liuxiang" in the No.13 episode.

Finally, when it came to the finale, the ratings of "The Dumb Girl Ah Fang" had surpassed "Chu Liuxiang" by 62%, reaching 35% to [-]%.

"It looks like Miss Fang is going to lose her temper this time."

After listening to what Fang Jinsheng said, Lin Daoqiu just smiled, he didn't take this matter too seriously.

First of all, "Dumb Girl Fang" only has [-] episodes, and it will be gone after the broadcast, while "Chu Liuxiang" is [-] episodes long, which is [-] episodes longer than "Dumb Girl Fang".

So even if they win the opponent, ATV will still have to face the great pressure of "Chu Liuxiang".

However, a bitter drama can actually overwhelm TVB's well-crafted big IP "Chu Liuxiang", which is something that Lin Daoqiu never thought would happen before.

If TV series such as "My Fair Princess" and "The New White Snake" are filmed at this time, TVB's ratings next year will probably be worrying.

However, Lin Daoqiu has no plans to get these things out for the time being, because the current boss of ATV is not him but Qiu Degen, so he doesn't need to spend too much energy on ATV.

After I bought ATV later, I was slowly producing those wonderful dramas and variety shows.

""Tomb Raider" has been doing very well recently. It has already broken through the box office mark of 4000 million, and now it is about to reach 5000 million. What do you think?"

In addition to being released in Hollywood and Neon, "Tomb Raider" is of course no exception here in Xiangjiang.

However, because Lin Daoqiu was promoting outside at that time, he did not attend the premiere of Xiangjiang, but asked Li Maowen to represent him.

And this action blockbuster for the whole world, compared with those movies made by Xiangjiang at this time, no matter in terms of special effects, action scenes, gun battles or the plot of the movie, it is much higher.

"Mr. Lin is really extraordinary when he makes a move. In the field of action movies, not only Xiangjiang, but I am afraid that no one in the world can match him."

Sammo Hung had no choice but to praise Lin Daoqiu, because this was the truth, and no one would refute what he said.

"It's not the Tomb Raider movie that worries me the most, but Godzilla, which is going to be released next, and I hear that movie is causing a lot of buzz in Hollywood and Neon right now."

Although Pan Disheng doesn't usually pay much attention to movies, the hot topic of "Godzilla" has been published in many newspapers.

"It's just a movie, let him break 5000 million at most, Mr. Pan has nothing to worry about."

Shi Tian didn't think the movie "Godzilla" was so great, he thought it was at most on the same level as "Tomb Raider".

But there was one person present who didn't think so, and that person was Tsui Hark.

Although Tsui Hark did not directly participate in the production of "Godzilla", he more or less knew a little bit of the inside story.

For the films Lin Daoqiu made before, the preparation and shooting time did not exceed one year, but this "Godzilla" took him a full three years to produce.

If he can only get 5000 million at the box office, then Lin Daoqiu must have failed too much.

But he would never say such a thing, because the last time the Academy Awards awarded the best film to "New Shushan Swordsman", his situation in Baocheng Cinemas became very delicate.

Everyone felt that Tsui Hark would return to New Oriental sooner or later. After all, Lin Daoqiu admired him very much, unlike them.

"The Christmas schedule will be next, and then the Spring Festival schedule. I hope that Baocheng Cinemas will work hard during these two schedules, and the situation like this year will not happen again."

The situation Pan Disheng mentioned naturally refers to the matter of "Big and Big Bad".

At the beginning, Zeng Zhiwei did not handle the ending well, which caused the word-of-mouth to collapse. In the end, the box office branch line declined, and finally lost to Chen Xunqi's "Wing Chun".

Pan Disheng still couldn't let this matter go. He would never allow and hope that the same thing would happen again.

"Mr. Pan, please rest assured that the films we are going to release next will all have happy endings in the end. This year's situation will definitely not happen again."

Cen Jianxun hurriedly offered Pan Disheng a guarantee. After all, he is the general manager of Baocheng Cinemas, and he will only be paid after the script review has passed his level.

If such a situation occurs at that time, then he, the general manager, must be to blame, so he will definitely keep an eye on him this time.

"I believe that with everyone's strength, as long as nothing goes wrong, next year's Spring Festival will be a year for Baocheng Cinemas to make great efforts."

Pan Disheng is very confident about this. Even if Jackie Chan will not be joining in next year's Spring Festival, he feels that judging from the fame of these actors, they can still attract many audiences.

As for the Xiangjiang Cinemas, "Best Partner" has released rumors in advance that there will be no sequel next year, and "Mr. Zombie" is the same.

If he were Lin Daoqiu, he would release "Tomb Raider" in the Spring Festival, instead of just showing it casually like now.

If "Tomb Raider" is released in the Spring Festival next year, I am afraid that Baocheng Cinemas will be powerless.

However, Lin Daoqiu is a wise man who is bound to make mistakes, and it seems that he is nothing more than that.

Thinking of Pan Disheng, he couldn't help laughing, it seemed that he was really confident in himself.

On the side of Xiangjiang Cinemas, in order to welcome the upcoming Christmas schedule, New Art City has already been preparing a movie related to Christmas.

The feature film "Merry Christmas", produced by Mai Jia and directed by Gao Zhisen, will represent the Hongkong Cinemas' impact on this year's Christmas schedule.

And this movie is Mai Jia's transformational work. In fact, he himself doesn't know whether the movie "Merry Christmas" can get a good box office, but he still does it without hesitation and doesn't continue to make "Best Partner" sequel.

At this point, Lin Daoqiu still looked at Mai Jia differently, thinking that he had indeed figured it out.
