Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 590

"What did Bao Shao say?"

Back on the set, Shi Tian found that after Zeng Zhiwei went to see Bao Shaogang, something seemed wrong.

Zeng Zhiwei looked around, and then pulled Shi Tian aside.

"Brother Tian, ​​Young Master Bao insisted that "Brother Wolf and Tiger" be released in a month. I persuaded him, but he didn't listen."

Zeng Zhiwei looked helpless.

But after Shi Tian listened to Zeng Zhiwei's words, he just nodded and didn't seem too surprised.

"Although I don't know what kind of grievances and grievances there are between Bao Shao and Mr. Lin, but we use people's money to eliminate disasters for people, one month at a time."

Shi Tian looked quite open, but he didn't say a word.

That is, he felt that between Bao Shaogang and Lin Daoqiu, one of them would definitely lose and quit the film industry in the end.

If it weren't for Bao Shaogang's support from the Bao family behind him, Shi Tian would never have jumped over to help him.

Because purely in the film industry, Lin Daoqiu is a well-deserved king.

Even with the addition of New Art City, Shi Tian felt that it was impossible for Lin Daoqiu to be his opponent, let alone him and Zeng Zhiwei now.

"Brother Tian, ​​it will be hard for you during this time."

Shi Tian is the male lead, and he has the most roles in this drama. If you want to rush to shoot, then he is the male lead who will have the hardest time.

"I'm fine, go get ready for the next scene."

Shi Tian didn't have much complaints about this, it was normal for them to work overtime during filming, and he had already gotten used to it.

He only hoped that this time, "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" could get a good start.

Even if you can't win in the end, don't lose too much to the opponent, so that they can have a better face.

…………

"Mr. Lin, I have already investigated the situation of the movie "Brother Wolf and Tiger Brother". Please take a look."

After Fang Jinsheng finished speaking, he put the information he found on Lin Daoqiu's desk.

Lin Daoqiu picked up what Fang Jinsheng found and looked at it.

He had never heard of this play before, and Lin Daoqiu believed that in his last life, this "Brother Wolf and Tiger Brother" should not have existed.

"Shi Tian is the male lead, Zeng Zhiwei is the director and starring role, a typical comedy?"

For Lin Daoqiu, the good news is that there are only Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei in this drama.

The two of them faced Wang Jing's "Bad Luck Gambling King". Under normal circumstances, their chances of winning were extremely slim.

If it weren't for the fact that "Unlucky Gambler" was released in New Oriental, and "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" was screened at Baojia Cinemas, I am afraid that "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" would not even have a chance of winning.

"This drama seems a bit rushed."

It wasn't long before Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian jumped to Bao Shaogang's side.

This "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers", even though they had already planned it before, but it only took more than a month to finish filming, it is conceivable that the quality of this movie will definitely not be very good.

Moreover, Shi Tian has always appeared in the form of a supporting role king, and the box office of the movies in which he played the leading role was not very good.

In addition, this movie was rushed out, so Lin Daoqiu's previous worries can be said to have eased a lot.

"Let Li Maowen work harder on publicity, people will take us as a good start, but we can't just let them pass the test so easily."

Bao Shaogang just wanted to use "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" to give himself a good reputation and beat himself at the box office.

He just wanted to use this incident to announce to everyone that Baojia Cinemas is stronger than New Oriental.

Naturally, Lin Daoqiu would not let Bao Shaogang get his wish so easily, he wanted to let the other party know that he was better than him in the film industry.

And the two films have not yet started to be released, and a publicity war has already started.

Speaking of the two dramas, there are actually no big-name stars, that is, Lin Daoqiu's Fu Sheng is more famous.

But speaking of it, everyone is equally divided. At least at this moment, Wang Jing's title as a director with a box office of tens of millions is not too dazzling.

And the publicity war in the past few days has also let everyone in Xiangjiang know that the first duel between Baojia Cinemas and New Oriental is about to start.

On the day when the movie was released, Wang Jing brought all the leading actors of the crew to the leading theater of New Oriental to participate in the premiere of "Unlucky Gambler" held here.

At this time, there is no such thing as walking the red carpet, and a group of them are at the door, accepting a brief interview with the media.

"Director Wang, "The Bad Luck Gambling King" is going to compete with Baojia Cinemas' "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers". Are you confident that you can win this time?"

"I heard that Director Wang once said that the box office of "The Bad Luck Gambler" will definitely exceed 2000 million. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

The reporters below kept asking Wang Jing questions. It seemed that everyone was very interested in the duel between "Unlucky Gambler" and "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers".

"My friends from the press, I don't know how much box office "Bad Luck Gambler" can get. Of course, I hope to get as many as possible, but as for whether it can reach the box office of 2000 million, it depends on whether the audience will support it or not. .”

After a pause, Wang Jing continued: "As for the fight between "The Bad Luck Gambler" and "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers", I can only say that it is not true at all. They all just happened to be released on the same day, that's all."

Although he said this on his lips, Wang Jing knew very well in his heart that this time "Brother Wolf" and "The Bad Luck Gambler" are actually a head-to-head confrontation.

And this matter was all brought about by Bao Shaogang.

It's just that, if this is the case, he will never say it in front of everyone.

Even though they already knew that Bao Shaogang and Lin Daoqiu were at odds.

However, in formal occasions, some words still cannot be said casually, otherwise the media will only exaggerate what they said.

"Thank you for your interviews. The film is about to start. As for whether the film is good or not, seeing is believing. Please come in."

After the interview, Wang Jing led the crew into the theater.

In addition to having multiple locations and luxurious decoration, this leading theater also provides private boxes.

The proposal to add a private room was proposed by Lin Daoqiu before, and he and Fang Jinsheng were sitting in one of the private rooms at this time.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box.

When Fang Jinsheng walked over and opened the door, Lin Daoqiu found that the person who came in was Li Maowen.

"Mr. Lin, the attendance of "Unlucky Gambler" is not bad. Of the 22 theaters, 18 theaters have an attendance rate of [-]%, and the remaining four theaters have an attendance rate of [-]%."

Although Li Maowen said so, the results of "Unlucky Gambler" don't look very good.

Compared with Lin Daoqiu's previous film, which was sold out in the first few days when it was released, the performance of this film is still a bit unsatisfactory.
