Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2292

"Morning, brother, come out for morning tea, congratulations, the box office of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" reached 700 million in two days, that's amazing."

Sammo Hung brought Yuen Biao and other members of the Hong family class out for morning tea, and when he entered the teahouse, many people took the initiative to greet him.

The box office performance of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be said to be the best among the four films in the Spring Festival. It won 700 million box office results in two days, which is really enviable.

And because the box office performance in Xiangjiang is very hot, when it is sold out, the income will naturally be much higher than that of ordinary movies.

However, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and others were all paid for the film and did not share the box office proceeds, so the follow-up income of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" actually has nothing to do with them.

"This is thanks to everyone for their support, everyone Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Sammo Hung greeted the people around while cupping his fists, and then a group of people went up to the box on the second floor.

It stands to reason that "Ghost Blowing out the Lantern" has such an excellent result, Sammo Hung should be very happy, but in fact Sammo Hung is not happy at all.

Because in his opinion, even if the box office of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" exceeds 1000 million, it is only more than [-] million US dollars.

But the box office results of a film in Hollywood are dozens of times higher than those in Xiangjiang.

Even if it's just an ordinary movie, as long as it takes 3000 to [-] million at the box office, it's far more than it is in Xiangjiang.

So he has always thought about working hard in Hollywood with Yuen Biao, and it is impossible for him to develop much if he stays in Xiangjiang.

"Brother, even if Mr. Lin allows us to go to Hollywood, if he doesn't give us a script, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to perform well there."

Yuen Biao has figured it out over the past few years, even if Lin Daoqiu really agreed to let them develop in Hollywood, without the script written by Lin Daoqiu, it is basically impossible to get ahead there.

Not to mention that the two of them haven't even learned English yet, so what can they do there?At most, he could only be a supporting role or a villain, which Yuen Biao didn't want to do.

"Then what do you think we should do? Do we just stay here in Xiangjiang for the rest of our lives? Aaron can make a fortune in Hollywood, so can't we?"

The biggest incentive for Sammo Hung is that Jackie Chan has gained a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Although it is not yet that big hit, but now outsiders have added an international superstar to his title.

Sammo Hung believes that he and Yuen Biao are no worse than Jackie Chan, so he also wants to give it a try. As long as he can ask Lin Daoqiu to write a script for them, Sammo Hung believes that they can also gain a firm foothold in Hollywood like Jackie Chan.

"Brother, you have to speak English when filming in Hollywood. How old are you and I? It may be too late to learn it at this time. Aaron also worked hard to do what he is doing now. I think I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to..."

Although Yuen Biao is not the kind of person who likes to give up on himself, he thinks that people should face the reality.

Moreover, he is married and has children, Yuen Biao doesn't want to be too far away from his wife and children, he just wants to spend time with his family now.

For Yuen Biao, staying in Hong Kong to film movies can earn money and take care of his family, so the idea of ​​going to Hollywood has weakened a lot compared to before.

"Forget it, I know you are a family-oriented person, let me think about it."

Sammo Hung shook his head. For Yuen Biao, the junior who grew up with him, he can say that he knows him very well.

If it was before Yuen Biao got married and had children, he still had a lot of ideas about Hollywood, but time has passed, he has married a wife and had children, and he is no longer the little junior who can do whatever he wants.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

When the door opened, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao and the others discovered that it was Fang Jinsheng who came.

When they saw Fang Jinsheng, Sammo Hung and the others thought that Lin Daoqiu had also come to drink tea.

"Assistant Fang, Gong Xi Fa Cai, is Mr. Lin here too? Let's go over and say hello to him."

Just when Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were going to pay New Year's greetings to Lin Daoqiu, Fang Jinsheng hurriedly explained to them.

"No, no, I just finished drinking tea with my family, and I heard that Brother Hong and Brother Biao are also drinking tea here, so I came here specially to wish you a New Year."

Hearing that Fang Jinsheng came with his family, it meant that Lin Daoqiu was not here.

"Assistant Fang, if you have nothing to do, why not have a cup of tea together. It's been a long time since we all got together."

Speaking of which, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had known Fang Jinsheng not for a short time, but usually everyone didn't have much chance to get together.

After all, Fang Jinsheng has always been by Lin Daoqiu's side, and he hardly has any vacation of his own. Even if he wants to ask him to meet, it is difficult to find an opportunity.

Fang Jinsheng didn't think too much, since Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao invited him to have a cup of tea together, he would naturally not refuse.

After inviting Fang Jinsheng to sit down, Sammo Hung suddenly had an idea.

He didn't dare to ask Lin Daoqiu directly, but he could test Lin Daoqiu's attitude through Fang Jinsheng, whether he supported or not supported his development in Hollywood.

"Speaking of which, I really want to congratulate my brother. The movie "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" won a box office of 700 million in just two days. If the follow-up trend continues to maintain this trend, I believe breaking through the box office of 8000 million should not be a problem. .”

There are only two films in Xiangjiang that have exceeded 1992 million, "Godzilla" and "[-]". Except for these two films, no other single film has achieved a box office of over [-] million. "Havoc in Heaven" Although it has exceeded [-] million, it is divided into several parts.

"Assistant Fang, we have known each other for so long, I have something to ask you, I hope Assistant Fang can give you some advice."

Sammo Hung managed to find this opportunity. If he didn't take this opportunity to try it out, then he might not even be able to sleep well at night when he goes back tonight.

Although Fang Jinsheng didn't know what Sammo Hung wanted to ask him for advice, he still smiled and nodded in agreement.

If it involved some secrets related to Lin Daoqiu, Fang Jinsheng would naturally not reveal even a single word.

"It's actually like this. A Biao and I have been developing in Xiangjiang for so many years. We both feel that after so many years of filming, we have already got the results we can get. We want to try another track. Assistant Fang thinks it is feasible. ?"

After hearing Sammo Hung's question, Fang Jinsheng immediately realized that the other party might want to bring up the old matter again.

He knew that Sammo Hung had always wanted to see Hollywood.

However, in Fang Jinsheng's impression, Lin Daoqiu didn't seem to want Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao to develop in Hollywood, but rather to let them stay in Xiangjiang.

So when Sammo Hung asked him this question, although Fang Jinsheng still had a smile on his face, he was already thinking about how to get rid of their thoughts.
