Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1083 "The Best Seven Lucky Stars"

Sammo Hung, who was driving the car, was in a good mood today, but when he passed by the urban area and was about to go to the set to film, when he passed a theater, Sammo Hung's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Then after opening the second and third homes, his face became serious.

And Yuen Biao, who was in the same car with Sammo Hung, had the same expression on his face.

When he drove the car to the fourth theater, Sammo Hung simply stopped on the side of the road, and then he and Yuen Biao got out of the car together, and came to the place where the posters were posted outside the theater.

Because "Merry Christmas" is about to be released, most of the posters of "Merry Christmas" are posted outside the theaters of Xiangjiang Cinemas.

But what made Sammo Hung curious was not the movie "Merry Christmas", but the latest poster posted in the theater.

This colorful poster is dominated by black and gray tones. The gloomy weather in the poster seems to be about to usher in a storm.

Inside are the high-rise buildings of a modern city, and on the other side is the rising sea.

From the perspective of the poster, it looks like looking up at the buildings on the ground from the sea.

If it was just an ordinary movie poster, Sammo Hung would naturally not care so much about it, but the three big characters on this poster immediately attracted his attention.

"Godzilla", the fabled movie that lasts forever, is finally about to meet the audience, and the time is just the second day after "Merry Christmas".

If you just look at this poster, you can't see anything specific at all.

But for some reason, Sammo Hung standing under this poster felt a strong sense of oppression, which he had never felt before.

"Brother, it's almost time, we should go."

There is still a film on the set, and Sammo Hung can't stay here for a long time.

Before leaving, Sammo Hung carefully read the "Godzilla" poster, and then left with Yuen Biao.

And this kind of thing didn't just happen to Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. The directors and screenwriters of Baocheng Cinemas, when they went out, would stop involuntarily whenever they saw this poster, and then stepped forward to watch it.

Especially Tsui Hark, who was on his way to the set for filming, stopped like Sammo Hung to take a closer look at this promotional poster that was said to be designed by Lin Daoqiu himself.

If he were to promote the movie "Godzilla" by himself, Tsui Hark would definitely play it off like Lin Daoqiu, leaving the suspense until the end.

In the afternoon, in the meeting room of Baocheng Cinemas, the atmosphere was different from usual. Pan Disheng did not come to the company today, so the person who presided over the meeting was Cen Jianxun.

Except for Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, everyone else has arrived.

Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, Xu Guanwen, and Zhang Jianting all had different expressions on their faces.

Here, Shi Tian, ​​Zhang Jianting and Xu Guanwen seemed relatively calm, Tsui Hark was the most serious, and Zeng Zhiwei was next.

Shi Tian, ​​Zhang Jianting and Xu Guanwen all felt that no matter how powerful "Godzilla" is, it will only be released for 14 days, and it will not have much impact on them.

As for Zeng Zhiwei, what he is worried about is that once "Godzilla" is released, it may directly affect the box office of his upcoming Christmas film "Happy Three Cannons".

Tsui Hark was the only one present who was really aware of the danger, but he felt that no one would take it seriously even if he said it, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Everyone should know that "Godzilla" is about to be released. Although the movie "Godzilla" really puts a lot of pressure on us, everyone actually has nothing to worry about. It's just a movie."

Cen Jianxun's thinking was not much different from that of Shi Tian and the others. They both felt that it was nothing more than a movie, and Lin Daoqiu's prestige was enough for two weeks.

Moreover, the newly released "Tomb Raider" broke the box office score of 5000 million, and "Godzilla" is doing well, and it is already remarkable to break through the box office mark of 6000 million.

The others nodded one after another, and everyone agreed with what Cen Jianxun said.

However, Zeng Zhiwei's face still looks not very good, after all, this time he is going to face "Godzilla".

Originally, I wanted to make some money from "Three Cannons", and Zeng Zhiwei even thought about it before, relying on the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays, the box office of "Three Cannons" can reach 2000 million .

But now he no longer dares to have such an extravagant hope. He thinks that the box office of "Happy Three Cannons" should be a little over 1000 million.

But even so, this show can still make money, just not too much.

"Director Zeng, I've worked hard on you this time. At that time, "Happy Three Cannons" will face a lot of pressure. Mr. Pan has already explained that Baocheng Cinema will do its best to help you consolidate the strength of "Happy Three Cannons". box office."

After Zeng Zhiwei heard what Cen Jianxun said, he was relieved, which means that at least if he loses too badly, Pan Disheng should not blame himself too much.

But at this moment, apart from Tsui Hark, everyone in Baocheng Cinema is still full of optimism about the future.

In particular, they are full of confidence in next year's Spring Festival, because they have brought out a secret weapon this time.

That is "The Best Seven Lucky Stars" starring Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Hui Guanwen, Wu Yaohan, Cen Jianxun, Qin Xianglin, Zeng Zhiwei, Gu Jialu, Wu Jiali and other stars.

It stands to reason that the copyright of "Five Lucky Stars" is owned by Lin Daoqiu, and Sammo Hung and the others should not be able to shoot it.

But this time, Pan Disheng didn't care so much. He will definitely win the Xiangjiang Cinemas in next year's Spring Festival.

And without Jackie Chan, the sequel of "Project A" would definitely not be able to be filmed.

So Pan Disheng found the safest way, that is to choose to make a sequel of the Five Lucky Stars.

But if you want to shoot, you can't directly use the lineup of the five lucky stars, which is a bit too obvious.

So this time he simply created "The Best Seven Lucky Stars". Even if Lin Daoqiu wanted to sue at that time, he didn't have any evidence to prove that he plagiarized "Five Lucky Stars".

It has to be said that Pan Disheng's move was really insidious enough. Even after Lin Daoqiu learned of this situation, he really had nothing to do with Pan Disheng.

And since Pan Disheng chose to do this, he naturally wouldn't care what others said.

Anyway, he must win next year's Spring Festival, so that he can feel proud and feel the humiliation before him.
