Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 268 The result came out
On this day, an advertisement for a movie appeared on the entertainment pages of major newspapers.

"The Hottest Action Movie of 1979"

"Asian box office champion of the year, epoch-making action movie"

"The first big-budget action movie with a female lead"

These are all Lin Daoqiu spent millions of dollars to promote and create momentum in major media.

Before coming to Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu had already discussed the promotion fee with Run Run Shaw.

At that time, "Mission Impossible" had already won a good box office, so Run Run Shaw also agreed to share the cost.

Originally, Warner should be responsible for these matters, but Lin Daoqiu knew that David would definitely not help him, so he didn't count on Warner.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu had this foresight, otherwise he would really be in trouble now.

Even though Ashley promised to give him 2000 yuan for the screen, if there were no advertisements, the average person would have no idea that such a movie was in theaters.

Because the pressure of 500 million in the first week is not small, if it is not reached, Richardson will automatically resign, and the number of screens will definitely be cut down.

Lin Daoqiu has been running around for the past few days to promote things, and Lin Qingxia can't help, because she doesn't have any popularity in Hollywood.

Every day when she returned to the hotel, all Brigitte Lin could do was massage Lin Daoqiu to relieve her stress. If she didn't do this, she would feel like a burden.

"Don't think too much, these are the things I need to do, you are an actor, you have already finished filming the show, and you don't need to worry about the rest of the work."

Although Lin Daoqiu was very tired, he still didn't want Brigitte Lin to worry too much about this matter.

"That's what I said, but I can't help you by staying in the hotel every day, and I feel very sorry for myself."

Brigitte Lin pursed her lips and looked not very emotional.

Although she knew that what Lin Daoqiu said was true, she just couldn't feel at ease.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid you won't be free in a few days, and I believe all major media will invite you to be on the show."

Lin Daoqiu seems very confident about this, as if "Mission Impossible" will immediately win a high box office.

"I trust you because you are the best."

After hearing Lin Daoqiu's words, Lin Qingxia smiled sweetly, and took advantage of the other party's inattention, she licked one on Lin Daoqiu's cheek.

Covering his face, Lin Daoqiu turned around in astonishment and looked at Brigitte Lin who had pretended to be fine.

A few seconds later, there was a sudden scream in the room, but strangely, calm was restored immediately.

It's just that there will be very subtle noises from time to time. If you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it clearly.

...............

"Hey, what movie is this? "Mission Impossible"?"

From time to time, a poster pasted on the entrance of a movie theater will attract the audience who are going to go in to watch a movie.

"I read it in the newspaper, it seems that this is a movie made by Xiangjiang."

"A movie made by Xiangjiang? You mean Bruce Lee?"

In foreign countries, there is only one representative figure of Xiangjiang movies at this time, and that is Bruce Lee.

Except for Bruce Lee, they can't call other names at all. It will take more than 20 years for a new name to appear.

"I don't know, but it looks like an action movie with a female lead."

"Aren't you kidding, action movies with female protagonists, can you watch this movie?"

Many people had a bad opinion of "Mission Impossible" at the beginning.

Because from their point of view, action movies starring female actors are probably limp when played, and they are not interesting at all.

"It says that this movie has won the box office championship in seven places in Asia. I think it should be good, although it is a movie starring a Chinese actress."

Compared with the hesitation of men, most girls are still willing to buy tickets to watch.

And some of them are male and female couples. Because the girls want to watch, the men also have to buy tickets to accompany them to enter the venue.

...............

Because it was in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to hold any premiere or premiere. After all, he and Brigitte Lin were not well-known in Hollywood.

And with the addition of David's non-cooperation, basically there is no need to think about these things, and it is already a very good thing to get 2000 yuan for screen release.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu was staying with Richardson and Kars, after all, this was the first day of the film's release.

Although Richardson thinks the movie has a good chance of becoming popular, that's just his professional judgment.

As for whether the audience will buy tickets to enter the stadium, this is beyond his control. In fact, his predictions are often inaccurate.

If Richardson can really tell at a glance whether a movie can make money, Warner will not be just on this scale.

Waiting is a very boring and tedious thing, but fortunately, Lin Daoqiu's post-production was similar to now, so he doesn't matter.

And Richardson and Carls seemed to have gotten used to it, they were playing poker to pass the time.

"You said that if the movie gets a very good box office by then, David's face will probably stink."

"If it really gets 500 million box office in the first week, I believe the expression on David's face will be wonderful."

Even before word of the first box office hits came in, Richardson and Carls were already fantasizing about what it would be like when David got himself out of the bag.

After all, that guy is really annoying, and he can be said to be doing everything he can to fight for power, and his actions have also greatly hurt Warner Corporation.

Lin Daoqiu, who was lying on the sofa, did not participate in their conversation. After all, his hatred for David was not that deep.

Lying down, Lin Daoqiu slowly fell asleep. It was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were still nine hours before the box office summary of the first day.

I don't know if it's because of being too tired, but Lin Daoqiu slept very hard this time.

He fell asleep straight away until dawn, and before nine o'clock the next day, Lin Daoqiu slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up and found two people, Carls and Richardson, one was lying on the table, and the other was asleep with his legs on the chair.

It seems that I occupied a good place yesterday, but Lin Daoqiu still felt a little sore when he got up.

Went into the bathroom to freshen up and wash up, and shaved the newly grown beard by the way.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then someone opened the door and walked in.

After more than ten seconds, Lin Daoqiu first heard a surprised voice from outside.

Then Kars suddenly rushed to Lin Daoqiu with a piece of paper, and then stared at Lin Daoqiu with his bloodshot eyes, which looked scary.
