Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 949 Win or lose?

He Guanchang's thoughts are quite normal. After all, this movie will be released during the Chinese New Year, and there are more than [-] theaters under Xiangjiang Cinemas.

To reach the box office of 2000 million, as long as the script is not too bad, it is absolutely achievable.

After all, Li Yuanba's "Dragon Ninja" won a box office of 750 million in Xiangjiang last year. At that time, Li Yuanba was not even famous at all.

So to sum up, He Guanchang's prediction of the box office of Li Yuanba's new play was also made under the consideration of all favorable conditions.

"Chen Xunqi's new play, doesn't Mr. He think it won't even reach 2000 million?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled and asked the other party.

He Guanchang didn't look very happy when he heard Lin Daoqiu's question.

If Chen Xunqi really had this ability, he would not have come to Lin Daoqiu himself to ask for an explanation.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should also understand how high Golden Harvest's expectations are for this drama. What should we do if it doesn't reach the box office of 2000 million?"

The purpose of He Guanchang's trip was actually to find Lin Daoqiu for reassurance.

In fact, when He Guanchang learned that this film was the first film directed by a novice director, Chen Xunqi, he felt a little happy in his heart.

Because if the shooting fails at that time, he can get more things from Lin Daoqiu.

It is not impossible to even get a Hollywood script from Lin Daoqiu's hands, and take advantage of the trend to push Li Yuanba to Hollywood.

"Mr. He, I can understand your worries. It's hard not to worry about Chen Xunqi not having a good result yet."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly stood in He Guanchang's position to think about the problem, which surprised He Guanchang.

However, his worries are both emotional and reasonable, so He Guanchang has nothing to be ashamed of.

"Well, how about we make a bet."

Lin Daoqiu's words made He Guanchang immediately interested, as if he had been waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say these words.

"I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to bet with me?"

Seeing He Guanchang's unconcealable happiness, Lin Daoqiu knew that he had actually been waiting for this.

It can be seen that He Guanchang seems to be very confident about this gamble, as if he thinks he will definitely win.

"I bet that the box office of this movie directed by Chen Xunqi will exceed 2000 million. If not, I will tailor the next new movie for Li Yuanba. I will be in charge of both the script and the director."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say it was a new Hollywood movie, which made He Guanchang a little disappointed.

However, with Lin Daoqiu's status today, being able to offer such a condition is already considered a very remarkable thing.

He Guanchang didn't think about becoming a fat man with one bite. After all, Li Yuanba hadn't gained a firm foothold in Xiangjiang, and he was going to Hollywood to make a name for himself. No matter how he thought about it, he didn't think it was appropriate.

"Then if Chen Xunqi's new play reaches 2000 million at the box office, what does Mr. Lin want from Golden Harvest?"

Although He Guanchang felt that he had a great chance of winning, he still had to ask clearly, if the box office exceeded 2000 million by then, what would he have to pay.

After He Guanchang finished asking, Lin Daoqiu said with a slight smile.

"I want to cooperate with Mr. Xu Guanwen for a long time, but I have never had a chance. If I win this time, then I can ask Mr. Xu to come to New Oriental and help me make a movie."

Lin Daoqiu's request is not too much, but for Golden Harvest, Xu Guanwen has to help Di Bao make three films before returning to Golden Harvest.

At that time, if Jiahe loses the bet this time, wouldn't Xu Guanwen have to film four movies outside before he can go back to help Jiahe.

If it was someone else, He Guanchang might not be too worried, but this person is Xu Guanwen, so he has to think carefully.

That guy may not be able to make a movie in a year. If it goes well, it will take four years to shoot four movies.

Letting Jiahe's Zhenshan Zhibao out for four years is a horrible thing to think about.

"Mr. Lin, is this taking advantage of the fire?"

He Guanchang said this with a smile, but it can be seen that he is not very satisfied with Lin Daoqiu's request.

"It depends on how much confidence Mr. He has in himself. In fact, whether he wins or loses in this bet, it is a good thing for Golden Harvest."

What Lin Daoqiu said made He Guanchang confused.

It's fine if he wins, but losing is also a good thing for Jiahe. He wants to make sure that Lin Daoqiu is not joking with himself, right?
"It's good if you win, but if you lose, it means that Chen Xunqi's new play has reached 2000 million. Isn't this what Golden Harvest wants to see the most, and the idea of ​​making Li Yuanba a hit?"

Lin Daoqiu's words made some sense, no matter what He Guanchang said, he couldn't disagree.

"Mr. Lin is really powerful. He convinced me in a few words, and I have no way to refute it."

He Guanchang smiled, and it seemed that he had already agreed with Lin Daoqiu's statement.

"Actually, it's a good thing for Golden Harvest to have Xu Guanwen help New Oriental in filming."

If what Lin Daoqiu said earlier, He Guanchang can still agree.

Asking Xu Guanwen to go to New Oriental to help Lin Daoqiu film, this is something he never imagined, it will be beneficial to Golden Harvest.

Apart from being able to get a good box office at that time, it is basically of no benefit to Golden Harvest.

"Mr. Xu went to help Di Bao make three films. The genres are all determined by him. Let’s not talk about good or bad. At the speed of Mr. Xu’s production of movies, it will take three years to finish shooting the three films. By then, he will still be good." It will be as popular as it is now, and it will be a question mark."

It is normal for Lin Daoqiu to speculate like this. After all, "Teppanyaki" is indeed not a very good result for Xu Guanwen.

Moreover, the box office of 2000 million was won during the Spring Festival period when Baojia Cinemas is owned.

Compared with "Best Partner" in the same period, the box office was more than 1000 million less. This is indeed not the Xu Guanwen in everyone's impression.

"If Mr. Xu has lost his way in Dibao, then I invite him to come to New Oriental to make a movie, isn't it just to help him restore his previous reputation?"

Although it sounds like Lin Daoqiu's words are a bit exaggerated, but in He Guanchang's ears, there is no such feeling.

Even on the contrary, he gradually began to agree with what Lin Daoqiu said. After all, the one who can set a new record for Xiangjiang movie box office is Lin Daoqiu.

If he said that he could help Xu Guanwen regain his reputation, there was really nothing to refute.
