Island Tycoon

Chapter 262 Seeing Flowers in the Fog
The next day, all major media published topics about last night's press conference.And this information spread to the senior management of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, needless to say, it must have caused a heated discussion.

Golden Harvest Entertainment, Chairman's Office.

"2000 million box office, this kid really dares to say it." Zou Wenhuai casually threw the newspaper on the table, with disdain and anger at the same time.

"This pretty boy is quite capable." He Guanchang who was on the side praised him without hesitation, and said deeply: "I still believe you when you say 2000 or [-]. [-] million is indeed a bit exaggerated."

"Hmm." Zou Wenhua also agreed deeply, although the difference between the two is only two or three million, the conversion is 300 viewers.This result can only be achieved if the theater has at least three consecutive days of attendance rate higher than 20%.

Suddenly, Zou Wenhuai remembered something, and asked He Guanchang, "By the way, what about the script that this pretty boy wrote for us last time?"

"You mean "Project A"?" After thinking about it, He Guanchang said: "The script is still in my hands."

"Project A" is one of the two tailor-made scripts provided by Ye Jingcheng for Chenglong.However, the film has never been launched, because Golden Harvest has other grand plans.

According to the original plan, Chenglong was sent to Hollywood half a year ago to participate in the blockbuster film invested by Golden Harvest - "The Killer".However, the progress of Hollywood filming is really not flattering. Hong Kong Island always adds scenes while filming, while Hollywood is completely planned, and then everything is executed in a systematic manner.

So this film took half a year, and it has only reached the end of the recording now, and it will take about a month to complete.Next, the team will spend several months in post-production.

Judging from the overall progress, it will take at least a year for the film invested by Golden Harvest to harvest.This result is too big a gap for Zou Wenhuai. In a year, he can invest in at least ten Hong Kong films, and it is easy to earn 400 million from overseas, and the small investment returns quickly.

Hollywood blockbusters can make a lot of money if they are shot well, but if the investment is too high, it will also cause huge risks.Unlike Hong Kong films, box office failures cost hundreds of thousands at most.If a Hollywood blockbuster fails at the box office, the loss will be tens of millions of dollars, which is still calculated in US dollars.

Thinking about it now, my idea of ​​entering Hollywood at that time was really naive, Golden Harvest should still focus on Hong Kong Island.And the most important point, Zou Wenhuai had a plan in his mind and was perfecting the attack.

"Ah Chang, you said that we are waiting for Aaron to come back. The script of "Project A" will be filmed in time for our joint release with Shaw Brothers." Zou Wenhuai asked.

The preliminary agreement between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers is only for three months.As for the follow-up, it must be decided according to the real situation.

However, the film "Project A" has a relatively large scene, and it will take more than a month at the earliest.The only thing to worry about now is Chenglong's side. "Killer's Trenches" nominally still has a month to end.

However, with the uniform urine of Hollywood directors, it is only normal to delay the shooting deadline.If it takes a few days, it's fine, but if it takes a month and a half... The cooperation between Jiahe and Shaw Brothers has already ended.

"Ah Huai, are you going to..." He Guanchang had an instant insight into the other party's thoughts, and confirmed, "Are you going to use this handsome boy's script to play a stage show with him?"

"What do you think?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"That's a good idea. Maybe Ye Jingcheng will pick up a stone and throw it in his own foot." He Guanchang nodded in agreement.

Even if this plan fails, there is no loss for them.Unless it's surprisingly low box office.If this kind of result really happened, they could instead take the opportunity to criticize Ye Jingcheng.

With the approval of the other party, Zou Wenhuai ordered: "You can call Hollywood later, this matter must not be delayed there, even if the shooting is postponed, Aaron must come back first."

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to Hollywood's investment, but that "Killer's Trenches" has been delayed for half a year.It's not too late to be there for half a month, and it won't be too late to rush over after Chenglong finishes filming "Project A".

……

Shaw Films.

"Sixth brother, this handsome boy is so clueless, let's teach him a lesson." Fang Yihua said angrily.

"Teach him a lesson?" Shao Yifu smiled helplessly and asked, "What lesson do you want to teach him?"

"This..." Fang Yihua was momentarily at a loss for words.

Yes, what lesson can she teach the other party?Don't end up suffering a loss instead. This is not the first time this has happened.

"But Brother Six, you are cooperating with this villain Zou Wenhuai, don't you just want to kill this handsome boy through joint screenings?" Fang Yihua said naturally.

"You think too much, this handsome boy is not so easy to deal with." Shao Yifu shook his head and said.

Whenever they wanted to deal with Ye Jingcheng, didn't Ye Jingcheng solve it easily?Moreover, he never actively shows his methods to others, there must be some premise and motive, and then he lurks for a period of time to gain momentum, and the final counterattack is directly a foregone conclusion.

It's as if he was pushed out of showing his movie at the Golden Princess before, then kept a low profile for a few months and burst out with a new theater circuit.Later, Fang Yihua forced Zhong Chuhong to make a romance movie, and within a few days, Ye Jingcheng, as a wireless shareholder, suddenly appeared at the wireless shareholder meeting.

So this time, is he going to reveal some hole cards again?
Another point is that this joint screening is really suppressing Qing Deng and Princess Jin. How will it help the Shaw Brothers' predicament?Shaw Brothers' biggest rival has always been the partner of this cooperation, Jiahe.

So for this cooperation, Shao Yifu actually didn't attach much importance to it.If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, it's not bad for him.If he could see Zou Wenhuai getting angry because of this incident, maybe he would still be a little happy in his heart.

The only thing Shao Yifu can't figure out now is what Ye Jingcheng's plans are next.

At last night's press conference, Ye Jingcheng indeed announced his cooperation with Princess Jin.However, their cooperation is only for some theaters of the Golden Princess.The next movie produced by Qinglan Entertainment will be screened simultaneously in several theaters designated by Princess Jin.

This situation made Shao Yifu a little confused. If Ye Jingcheng really planned to confront them head-on, he and Lei Juekun should cooperate with all theaters to screen the show.

Now it is the Golden Princess who needs to allocate some theaters to show Qinglan movies, and leave some theaters to show movies produced by Golden Princess.In this way, dividing resources into two, Shao Yifu does not see any advantage.
