Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 147 A Prophecy

"How could this be?"

Jiahe, Zou Wenhuai's office, He Guanchang, Hong Jinbao, Yuen Biao and others all gathered here.

"Kung Fu Boy" was released for a week, and the box office reached 400 million. This result made everyone present dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought that they could win at least 600 million box office in the first week, but the current box office is much less than what they expected before.

"Now the overall attendance rate has dropped to 700%. If this continues, the final box office may not even reach [-] million."

Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, who were full of confidence before and vowed to break tens of millions, are now dumbfounded.

"Where is the problem?"

Sammo Hung really couldn't figure it out, the subject matter was kung fu comedy which they are best at, and he was also in charge of directing it.

He can even be sure that the martial arts moves he designed are more attentive than "Young Master Qian", but why are they not selling well?

As for Sammo Hung's questions, everyone else wanted to know, but unfortunately they still couldn't come up with an answer.

"Sanmao, Abiao, you don't have to think so much, just keep working hard in the next play, Golden Harvest will still fully support you."

Zou Wenhuai is very open about this, after all, even if "Kung Fu Boy" only sells for 600 million in the end, they can still make a lot of money.

"Thank you Mr. Zou."

What Zou Wenhuai said somewhat reassured Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, but even so, they still couldn't be happy.

After Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left, Zou Wenhuai's face suddenly sank, as if he had thought of something.

"For their next play, don't let Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui be their scriptwriters."

"You mean, something went wrong with the script?"

He Guanchang immediately understood the meaning of Zou Wenhuai's words.

"There's nothing wrong with the script, and Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui should be playing normally, but... this drama is still missing something."

He Guanchang didn't understand what Zou Wenhuai meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately guessed what Zou Wenhuai meant.

In addition to Lin Daoqiu and Guo Youhua, this drama can almost be said to be the original cast of "Master Qian". Since Zou Wenhuai said so, I am afraid he is referring to Lin Daoqiu.

"How about letting Yuen Biao and the others change the theme for their next film? After all, they always make kung fu comedies, and the audience will get annoyed if they watch too much."

Zou Wenhuai shook his head and rejected He Guanchang's proposal.

"That's what they are good at. If you let them suddenly do something they are not good at, the audience may not be able to accept it for a while, unless..."

Zou Wenhuai paused, and then said: "Unless Lin Daoqiu is willing to help them write a script."

When He Guanchang heard this, an embarrassing expression appeared on his face.

The relationship between him and Lin Daoqiu can be said to be very bad, and because of his relationship, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are in conflict with each other.

Although Lin Daoqiu took part in the celebration banquet of "Kung Fu Boy" for saving face, but according to He Guanchang's knowledge, the two of them did not contact Lin Daoqiu after filming "Master Qian".

At the beginning, I thought that after signing Yuan Biao, Lin Daoqiu had to give in if he wanted to make a sequel to "Master Qian".

But now it seems that the stupid person is not Lin Daoqiu, but himself.

"I'll find a few better screenwriters and ask them to write a good script for Yuen Biao."

Apart from this method, He Guanchang has no other better idea.

In fact, if he brought Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao to apologize to Lin Daoqiu, there might be some turning points.

But asking him to apologize to Lin Daoqiu, He Guanchang would not even think about it, even Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.

After all, "Kung Fu Boy" still has a box office of at least 600 million, and they don't think it's a big failure.

I even feel that as long as I work hard, I will definitely have a chance to break the box office of tens of millions. It is only a matter of time.

Zou Wenhuai sighed softly, the reason why he said that was to let He Guanchang understand what he should do.

But now it seems that the other party never thought of going to Lin Daoqiu to apologize.

"Then you should pay more attention to this matter."

Zou Wenhuai did not force He Guanchang to apologize to Lin Daoqiu, in fact, he also had a bit of luck.

I feel that if I change a few powerful screenwriters, maybe I can really make a blockbuster movie.

…………

Compared with the 400 million box office of "Kung Fu Boy", Shaw's "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" will be much worse.

The box office for a week of release was only 100 million, a full 300 million less than "Kung Fu Boy".

And because Guo Youhua played too few roles, the box office attendance has dropped from [-]% at the beginning to less than half.

But the strange thing was that Fang Yihua, who should have been depressed, was extremely happy at this moment.

"Based on this trend, the lower part can earn at least 200 million yuan at the box office, and the two dramas combined can earn at least 400 million yuan."

The reason why this "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" is divided into upper and lower parts is because there are too many materials, even after simplification, there is no way to finish it in [-] minutes, so it was cut into two parts for broadcast.

But the shooting time and the money spent are the same, so for Fang Yihua, it is already a gratifying thing for a film to sell at the box office of 400 million.

However, there was one thing that made Fang Yathua not very happy, that is, the audience's perception of "The Story of Yitian Tulong" was not very good.

It's not because of the actors' acting skills or the plot is not exciting enough, but because Guo Youhua's playing time is too little.

Some viewers who bought tickets to see Guo Youhua felt that they were cheated after watching it, which caused the film's reputation to become very bad.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to break through the million box office until now.

"Don't do it like this next time. After all, this is a double-edged sword. If you don't do it well, you will hurt yourself."

Fang Yat Hua has already remembered this lesson, after TVB's "Chu Liu Xiang" is finished, she will ask Guo Youhua to return to Shaw Brothers to concentrate on filming.

As for TVB, Michelle has signed a new contract, and Zhao Yazhi has also signed a new contract, so there is no need for Guo Youhua to run away.

"By the way, what's the progress of Lin Daoqiu's filming in Baodao?"

Others may not care too much about these things, but Fang Yat-hua is different, because that drama is next year's beautiful Taiwanese drama, and it is aimed at TVB, so she has to guard against it.

"The play is called "Lotus Fighting for Hegemony" and it's a costume drama. The opening ceremony was held a few days ago. It is said to be adapted from Gu Long's "Meteor Butterfly Sword"."

Gu Long's masterpiece, Baodao's full live shooting, and that bastard Lin Daoqiu personally supervised the production. The combination of these three factors is really enough to cause headaches.

And this is not the only thing that makes Fang Yat Hua even more troublesome, because tonight "Ip Man" will air its finale.

Previously, "Chu Liuxiang" had been overtaking "Ip Man" in ratings, but tonight, there may be a reversal. Although it is only this time, the damage to TVB is not small.
