Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 177
I'm afraid no one expected that a big drama would start in November.

Yuen Biao's "Mr. Zan and Chang Qianhua" and Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" were naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

But at this time, "Goodbye Wang Laowu" suddenly appeared to steal the show.

If it weren't for the impact of Winner's disbandment, I'm afraid the attention of this "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" would be squeezed to the point where there is not much left.

But now, the one with the least attention has become "Drunken Master".

Originally, Wu Siyuan wanted to make a gimmick about who is the number one martial arts star in Xiangjiang.

But even if he really does this now, I'm afraid he won't attract much attention.

Moreover, he is also reluctant to ask him to spend a dozen or 20 yuan as publicity fees.

If there is less money, no effect can be achieved, and if there is more money, he feels distressed.

In the end, Wu Siyuan only spent tens of thousands of dollars to advertise in newspapers for a few days.

On the other hand, on Jiahe's side, the propaganda offensive is very strong.

This time, He Guanchang allocated 20 yuan as publicity funds.

They used this money to take turns to publicize on TV stations and newspapers, in order to make "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" popular.

But what makes He Guanchang feel very helpless is that they all spent 20 yuan, but they are not as good as "Goodbye Wang Laowu" which didn't cost a dime.

"Lin Daoqiu is too lucky. Could it be that he already knew the news that Winner is going to disband?"

In his office, He Guanchang looked at the news in the newspaper except for the news about Yuen Biao's new play.

On the other side, it was the news that "Goodbye Wang Laowu" was the last movie before Wenner disbanded, which made it hard for him not to be popular.

"Don't worry, Mr. He. I've already asked. This drama is just an ordinary romantic comedy. Even with the influence of Winner, it won't get much box office."

Sammo Hung is very open about this, he thinks the most popular subject right now is kung fu movies.

Lin Daoqiu had almost no chance of winning against them in filming this kind of romantic comedy.

"Sanmao, he can't win you guys, but he can take away part of the audience, and he has the influence of "Drunken Master"..."

He Guanchang didn't finish his sentence, but he believed that Sammo Hung could already understand what he said.

But speaking of this incident, the instigator was He Guanchang himself.

It was he who wanted to use Yuen Biao as a touchstone to see what Jackie Chan was.

In the end, he never expected that it was because of his own arrangement that now he has become completely devastated.

Sammo Hung actually knew He Guanchang's intentions in doing this, but he didn't show it at the beginning.

After all, he is still very confident in "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua".

And he also wanted Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang to see clearly, who is the future martial arts superstar of Xiangjiang, Yuen Biao or Jackie Chan.

But the current situation is that if the three dramas really fight each other, Yuen Biao must suffer the most.

Because they are preparing to make a movie that surpasses the box office of "Kung Fu Kid".

Encountered such a situation now, it is very likely that in the end it will not even get the box office of 500 million.

Although there are many unfavorable factors, the general public and people in the film industry can't control them.

Everyone talks based on the box office results, and won't listen to Sammo Hung's explanation.

"Mr. He, in fact, there is still a way to save it now."

At this time, Sammo Hung suddenly looked at He Guanchang and said something cautiously.

"any solution?"

He Guanchang looked at Sammo Hung with a very curious expression on his face.

Even he couldn't think of a solution, could Sammo Hung really think of a solution?

"It's better to postpone the schedule of "Drunken Master", so that we have one less opponent."

Golden Harvest has no way to change the schedule of "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu", but they can change the schedule of "Drunken Master", and there is still time now.

At first, He Guanchang really didn't think of this method.

But after hearing what Sammo Hung said, he suddenly felt that this was really a good idea.

But thinking of Wu Siyuan, He Guanchang began to hesitate again.

I changed the schedule with a strong attitude at the beginning, and now I suddenly want to ask him to change the schedule back. Wouldn't this offend the other party twice.

Although Golden Harvest didn't need to look at Wu Siyuan's face, but anyway, the other party was also a respectable producer in Xiangjiang.

If word of his doing this gets out, people will only say that Golden Harvest is bullying the younger, which will have a big impact on Golden Harvest's reputation.

But for the sake of Yuen Biao's new play, He Guanchang still bite the bullet and called Wu Siyuan again.

………………

"Changing period? Mr. He is joking, we have spent so long and made so much preparation, just waiting for the release in three days, it is absolutely impossible for me to change the period now."

People fight for one breath, Buddhas fight for one stick of incense, Wu Siyuan would rather fight with Jiahe to break the blood, and he is not willing to back down at this time.

And now everyone knows that "Drunken Master" will be released in three days. If he shrinks back at this time, wouldn't he be laughed out of his teeth.

So after Wu Siyuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, not giving He Guanchang a chance to continue talking.

Although he had two seconds to hesitate whether he should agree to the other party, the anger these days had long covered his rationality.

Even after that, Wu Siyuan made a decision. He added another 10 yuan to advertise.

After hearing the news, He Guanchang already realized that this duel was inevitable.

The advertising war between the two sides lasted until the day the movie was released, and the premiere theaters of "Mr. Zan and Changqianhua" and "Drunken Master" were divided into different theaters.

"Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua" will naturally premiere at Haiyun Cinema.

As the leading actor, Yuen Biao's energy is very good today. After all, this is the third movie he has starred in, so he is no longer a newcomer.

For his new film, Yuen Biao is very confident and feels that it will definitely surpass the box office of his previous film "Kung Fu Boy".

On the other hand, the scene of "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" can be said to be full of stars.

Although the other four Winners were not present, Zhong Zhentao, as the leading actor, still had to attend the premiere of the film.

"Ah B, what is the reason for Winner's disbandment?"

"I heard that it was because you and Allen were at odds that led to Winner's disbandment, right?"

As soon as Zhong Zhentao appeared, he attracted great attention from the media.

Everyone wanted to ask from Zhong Zhentao what the real reason for Wenna's disbandment was.

Unfortunately, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun had already prepared.

Zhong Zhentao just put on a picture in front of everyone and entered the theater, and did not answer the reporter's questions the whole time.

"Thank you for your concern. Mr. Zhong said that they disbanded. He made it very clear at the press conference before, so I won't make any further responses."

When the reporters at the scene heard this, they all showed very helpless expressions. It seemed that their trip today was probably in vain.
