Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 974

After seeing Lin Daoqiu, Mai Jia still kept the door behind closed doors.

However, according to reports from Huang Baiming and Teddy Robin who had met him, Mai Jia was not as depressed as before.

The filming of "Best Partner 3" has already been finished, and post-production is in progress, so there is no need for Mai Jia to worry about it.

In fact, the reason why Lin Daoqiu talked to Mai Jia about this was because he was worried about New Art City.

In the previous life, the glory of New Art City was created by a group of seven people.

Now Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng left New Art City early.

As for Mai Jia, Huang Baiming and Teddy Robin, although they are all full of talent.

However, compared with the previous life, New Art City has not produced any outstanding movies in the past two years. In terms of quantity and quality, it is still incomparable.

But because "Best Partner" was at the top, Mai Jia and the others didn't think there was any problem, and they still made those comedy movies.

Lin Daoqiu is not opposed to Maijia and the others making comedy movies, but Tsui Hark's "Shanghai Night" uses a different theme to defeat "Little Fear" and this is an indisputable fact.

It can only be said that Mai Jia’s thoughts are still stuck in the past, and they want to continue to rely on comedy movies to make a living. Of course, there will be no problem in the next few years, but they will definitely be pulled further and further away by Tsui Hark and the others.

Although Lin Daoqiu can also throw a few blockbuster movies for them every year, so that New Art City can continue to maintain.

But doing so would not benefit Maijia and the others at all, it would only kill their imagination.

As for whether Maijia can figure it out, Lin Daoqiu felt that he should not worry too much, after all, he is different from ordinary people.

But it will take a while for him to figure it out.

A week later, the three films dropped at the same time. "Shanghai Night" won the box office champion of Shuangdan with 300 million yuan, and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" came in second with 100 million yuan.

As for New Art City's "Little Life Is Afraid", it scored 500 million.

Calculated by the total box office, Xiangjiang Cinemas surpassed Baocheng Cinemas this time.

But in the box office of a single movie, Baocheng Cinemas beat Xiangjiang Cinemas, and each won half.

But the biggest winner this time is Tsui Hark, who lost his head in "New Shushan Swordsman" last time.

Not to mention more than half of Bao Shaogang's 5000 million, and he was also dubbed a box office poison.

Now with "Shanghai Night" standing up again, Tsui Hark can finally let go of the heart that has been hanging around for a while.

And the other one who was the happiest was Li Hanxiang.

"Burning the Old Summer Palace" can get a box office of over 2000 million, which is a result he never expected.

And this is only the first half, and "Listening to Politics Behind the Curtain" was released immediately after.

Although Li Hanxiang is also very clear that it is almost impossible to get Shuangdan's box office.

But for him, there is good news, that is, there are no strong competitors now.

If you're lucky, maybe the two dramas combined can break through 4000 million at the box office.

"Mr. Lin, I hope that "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain" can increase its publicity."

Before the release, Li Hanxiang came to Lin Daoqiu's office, hoping to get his support.

"Director Li, please rest assured that "Burning the Old Summer Palace" has achieved such a good result, and we will definitely support "Listen to the Government" with great support."

Originally, the publicity fee for "Listening to Politics" was only 30 yuan, but Lin Daoqiu doubled it with a stroke of a pen.

Li Hanxiang is very grateful for Lin Daoqiu's support. Without him, I don't know if these two films could be made.

And even if it is filmed, without such strong financial support, many parts may have to be deleted, which will make Li Hanxiang feel regretful.

However, it is precisely because of Lin Daoqiu's support that he was able to finish filming these two films without any worries. Li Hanxiang thanked Lin Daoqiu from the bottom of his heart.

"Mr. Lin, will "Listen to the Government Behind the Curtain" be screened in Xiangjiang Cinemas this time?"

As far as Li Hanxiang knows, Xiangjiang Cinemas has not released any strong films recently. It stands to reason that "Burning the Old Summer Palace" has achieved such good results, and the sequel "Listening to the Government under the Curtain" should get more resources.

Li Hanxiang's idea was correct, but unfortunately, he didn't expect one thing.

"New Art City also has a "Happy Ghost" that will be screened together with "The Curtain Listening to the Government", so we still follow the previous rules and adjust the number of shows according to the box office."

"Happy Ghost"?When Li Hanxiang suddenly heard the name, he felt that this drama felt weird, how could it be called "Happy Ghost".

Compared with "Listen to the Government Behind the Curtain", which has a rich historical view and you can tell what the allusion is from the title of the play, "Happy Ghost" is obviously inferior.

It is actually quite normal for Li Hanxiang to have such thoughts. "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain" are films that he spent several years changing drafts and spending a lot of effort on.

However, the script of "Happy Ghost" was written in less than a few days, and the filming time did not exceed a month. There is no way to compare it with Li Hanxiang's two plays.

"In that case, then follow what Mr. Lin said and adjust the number of shows according to the box office."

Li Hanxiang is still very confident in himself and "Listen to the Government" and Lin Daoqiu didn't say anything about it.

Because even Huang Baiming, almost no one is optimistic that "Happy Ghost" will achieve any good results.

…………

A few days later, "Happy Ghost" was officially released, and they also held a premiere, but the scene was very shabby.

The most famous person present was only Huang Baiming, and the rest were starring Luo Mingzhu, Li Lizhen, Lin Shanshan, and some of them were even being interviewed by reporters for the first time.

And there were only a few reporters present. This was because Huang Baiming was from New Art City, so everyone gave him face.

It can't be because there are not many reporters, so the three heroines are not very nervous, and more than half of the time for talking and laughing has passed.

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Huang Baiming felt that it was already this time, and no one should be present, so after a brief chat with the reporter, he planned to bring a group of leading actors into the venue.

And at this moment, on the road outside the theater, a Rolls Royce suddenly stopped slowly by the side of the road.

Huang Baiming immediately recognized that car as Lin Daoqiu's.

Lin Daoqiu had never said before that he would attend the premiere, which made Huang Baiming overjoyed.

"It's Mr. Lin's car."

Hearing what Huang Baiming said, everyone's eyes immediately focused on the Rolls Royce.

When the door opened, Lin Daoqiu got out of the car.

But he didn't move after getting out of the car, but stood by the door and waited for a while.

After Zhong Chuhong got off the car, she took Lin Daoqiu's hand, and then walked towards Huang Baiming and the others.
