Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1373 Di Bao's Big Production
In the conference room of Dibao Company, Cen Jianxun, Sammo Hung and others held a preparatory meeting for the Spring Festival stalls.

Compared with the previous year, Dibao's income increased by as much as 2000 million last year, and it seems that there is a slow upward trend.

The reason for the increase is that, firstly, the establishment of the New Xiangjiang Cinemas gave them more theaters.

Second, because of the increase in ticket prices, their income has increased a lot.

If you look carefully, you will find that Dibao has not grown much, and it can even be said that the growth rate is far less than what they saw.

As the pillars of Di Bao, the films of Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao almost accounted for [-]% of Di Bao's income.

The others are films produced by some independent filmmakers invested by Di Bao, which can be regarded as a small supplement to Di Bao's income.

"If nothing else, this year's Spring Festival, New Oriental will release "The Working Emperor" starring Xu Guanjie and Wang Zuxian."

Cen Jianxun was worried at the beginning that this year's Spring Festival will be very difficult for Dibao.

But what I didn't expect was that the movie that New Oriental would compete with Di Bao this year turned out to be an urban romantic comedy starring Xu Guanjie and Wang Zuxian.

There is nothing wrong with starring Xu Guanjie, after all, his strength in movies is obvious to all, and he has been able to beat Dibao for several years in a row with "Best Partner".

But this year, it is almost impossible for the combination of Xu Guanjie and Wang Zuxian to beat Di Bao's "The Iron Man" in the Spring Festival.

"If there is no accident, we should be the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival."

Speaking of this, Cen Jianxun looked very happy.

After all, being able to win the Spring Festival file means that Dibao's strength in Xiangjiang and New Oriental have become closer.

However, Cen Jianxun's idea was not recognized by the colleagues on the scene.

Some people even think that Lin Daoqiu no longer pays attention to the Spring Festival, so he doesn't think about competing.

Otherwise, with Lin Daoqiu's strength, this year's Spring Festival will definitely still be in the pocket of New Oriental.

When Cen Jianxun was chatting with everyone about the Spring Festival, Sammo Hung sat on the sidelines in a daze, as if he had no intention of participating in the discussion on this topic.

"Brother, Manager Cen is calling for you."

At this moment, Yuen Biao who was next to him patted Sammo Hung, which brought him back to reality.

"Well, what?"

Sammo Hung quickly turned his head to Cen Jianxun.

"Mr. Pan hopes that Big Brother Hong and A Biao can make more movies this year."

Although Sammo Hung was in a daze, Cen Jianxun didn't mind it.

Regarding Pan Disheng's expectations, Sammo Hung will not refuse, after all their main job now is filming.

"Manager Cen, please tell Mr. Pan about this matter, and tell us that our seniors will do our best to surpass last year's results."

Although Sammo Hung said so, in fact, he was not as confident as he said in his heart.

Cen Jianxun didn't know what was going on in Sammo Hung's mind, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard what the other party said.

"This year, Mr. Pan plans to add 2000 million yuan to make a big production for Big Brother Hong."

Until hearing this, Sammo Hung showed some happy expression on his face.

With a big production of 2000 million yuan, if a little more production costs are added, maybe a good movie can really be made.

"Since this is the case, I will start preparations after the Chinese New Year."

Sammo Hung has already made a plan, pooling together 3000 million yuan to film this movie, he doesn't know yet what to shoot, but this has successfully mobilized Sammo Hung's enthusiasm.

After the meeting ended, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao left the meeting room.

On the way to the studio, Sammo Hung was thinking about what kind of movie he wanted to make, but at this moment Yuen Biao suddenly said.

"Brother, how long do you think Di Bao can resist?"

For Yuen Biao's question, Sammo Hung felt inexplicable, he didn't understand how Yuen Biao would ask such a strange question.

"What are you thinking about? Dibao's income has increased a lot compared to before. Now is a good time for us to show our ambitions. Don't think about those messy things."

Now Sammo Hung's mind is full of the next big production, and he doesn't want to seriously think about this issue at all.

But for Yuen Biao, what he is worried about is that if Lin Daoqiu targets the big production of this drama, he may lose money again.

"If our drama is targeted by Mr. Lin, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble at that time."

Yuen Biao thought for a while, but still couldn't help expressing his inner thoughts.

Originally, Sammo Hung was in a good mood, but after hearing what Yuen Biao said, his face immediately collapsed.

"Then what can we do, Di Bao is now Mr. Lin's thorn in the flesh, as long as he knows that we are going to make a big production, he will definitely take action."

Sammo Hung knew without guessing that Lin Daoqiu would never sit back and watch Di Bao develop and grow. He would definitely try his best to beat Di Bao severely.

"A Biao, we are only in charge of filming. We don't need to think too much about other things. If you think too much, there is no way to solve it. This will only increase your troubles."

Looking at Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung persuaded him seriously.

It's not that Sammo Hung doesn't think about these issues, in fact, he has been worrying about them before.

However, after these years, he also gradually realized that he could not decide anything at all. If this is the case, he might as well do his job well honestly.

As for whether Di Bao will be defeated by Lin Daoqiu at that time, this kind of thing is beyond his control.

"Well, if that's the case, let's not talk about this topic. I think this big production can be filmed with special effects. Didn't Mr. Pan and Golden Harvest jointly open a special effects film company?"

Yuen Biao's words reminded Sammo Hung that now is the era of special effects movies.

At the Academy Awards, Magic Studio's special effects short film has already amazed everyone.

Before that, Mr. Pan, Zou Wenhuai and people from Baodao jointly established a special effects company for one billion Hong Kong dollars.

Since they are going to make a big production this time, why not add some special effects, maybe there will be good effects by then.

"Your idea is very good, and I will seriously consider it when the time comes."

Although Sammo Hung said so, in fact, he planned to add special effects in this movie according to Yuen Biao's proposal.

Maybe with special effects, they also hope to get a box office of 5000 or [-] million.
