Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 145
""Kung Fu Boy" took in 200 million at the box office in just three days after its release. How can you say it won't break [-] million?"

Xiangjiang, Zhao Yazhi's new home, looked at Lin Daoqiu, who looked like a child and was yelling at her, she really had nothing to do with this guy.

Lin Daoqiu flew back to Xiangjiang from Baodao because he had to go back to Xiangjiang to deal with some matters.

However, he didn't go home after getting off the plane, but came directly to visit Zhao Yazhi, whom he hadn't seen for more than a month, which was a sneak in time.

After the two played for a while, Lin Daoqiu let go of Zhao Yazhi who was already blushing.

Picking up a grape from the plate on the table, aiming at Lin Daoqiu's mouth and loosening his hand, the grape immediately fell into the other's mouth.

"Because of Sammo Hung."

Lin Daoqiu replied in an indistinct voice while chewing grapes.

"Sammo Hung? What happened to Brother Hong?"

Zhao Yazhi couldn't figure out what this had to do with Sammo Hung. You must know that he is now Golden Harvest's signature, and his box office should be even better.

"During the period from the end of July to the beginning of August, Sammo Hung had two films released, namely "Fat Dragon Crossing the River" and "Tiger Frog."

The box office of these two films is considered very good. "Tiger and Frog" took in 240 million box office, while "The Fat Dragon Crossing the River" was not as good, only getting 160 million.

But Zhao Yazhi still couldn't understand, what does this have to do with "Kung Fu Boy" not breaking the million mark?
"Let's put it this way, do you think the ratings of "Chu Liuxiang" are so good, does TVB plan to only make period films in the future?"

"Of course not. If there are too many films of the same type, the audience will feel tired, and the ratings will definitely not improve, so the next film must be changed to another type."

Zhao Yazhi's answer made Lin Daoqiu very satisfied. In fact, the reason why the box office of "Kung Fu Boy" can't break [-] million is also related to this.

"What do you mean? Brother Hong has too many films, which will make the audience feel burnt out?"

From her own answer, Zhao Yazhi suddenly realized the intention of Lin Daoqiu asking her this sentence.

"It's not all like this. After all, the male lead is Yuen Biao, but Sammo Hung plays a big role in it, so it will affect some, but this is only a small part."

Lin Daoqiu explained: ""Young Master Qian" took 800 million, so this time the audience's expectations will be higher than before, but the upper limit of kung fu comedy is like this, and there are no new ideas."

And in addition to the type of movies, there is also the problem of the capacity of Golden Harvest Cinemas.

If "Kung Fu Boy" wants to break the box office of [-] million, then Golden Harvest Cinemas may break [-] million after seven consecutive days.

But now it has only been three days, and the attendance rate of individual theaters has shown a slight decline. Although the overall attendance rate remains at [-]%, this is already a warning sign.

Even Lin Daoqiu can now assert that the final box office of "Kung Fu Boy" will definitely not exceed 780 million, and it is even possible that "Deed of Sale" will not be able to break the [-] million.

"Then Yuen Biao and the others didn't suffer this time?"

Zhao Yazhi had read it in many news papers, Golden Harvest and Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao had vowed that the box office of "Kung Fu Boy" would break tens of millions this time.

If the box office does not reach [-] million by that time, then they will definitely become a big laughing stock of Xiangjiang. After all, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

"It's not that it's miserable. After all, they are not enough compared to the top, but they are more than enough compared to the bottom."

Although it won't be worth tens of millions, around 600 million is definitely no problem. At this time, it can already be ranked No.3 in the annual box office.

But even so, Lin Daoqiu believed that Yuen Biao and Sammo Hung would definitely not be satisfied.

After all, after earning tens of millions at the box office, it suddenly fell to several million. I am afraid that no matter how open-minded people are, it will be very difficult.

"By the way, weren't you filming "Lotus Contest" in Baodao? Why did you come back suddenly?"

It wasn't until this time that Zhao Yazhi thought of asking Lin Daoqiu about it.

"Because I miss you."

Lin Daoqiu looked at Zhao Yazhi and blinked.

Lin Daoqiu's words made her heart beat faster, her face was as red as a peach, Zhao Yazhi quickly turned her head to the other side, not daring to look at Lin Daoqiu.

"I don't believe your nonsense. There are so many beauties on Treasure Island. How could you think of me? There must be something urgent that needs to be done."

Although she retorted like this, she still had a little expectation in her heart. Lin Daoqiu said that he came back for her.

"Is there a more beautiful woman than you on Treasure Island? Why don't I know?"

Lin Daoqiu tilted his head and asked curiously.

Knowing that Lin Daoqiu was turning a corner to praise herself, Zhao Yazhi was very happy, but she still had to pretend to be indifferent.

"Don't come here, anyway, I can't see it, you can say anything now."

"Why don't you stay with me in the past, I will stay here for a few months, and the filming of "Lotus Contest" is about to start, and I really can't leave by then."

Lin Daoqiu looked very sincere, and Zhao Yazhi was really moved by his proposal.

Zhao Yazhi couldn't take it anymore knowing that Lin Daoqiu had been away for a month.

Although she said she hates him, once the other party is no longer by her side, she will miss him very much.

But in the end Zhao Yazhi still restrained the urge to agree to Lin Daoqiu.

You must know that she is currently in the process of divorce with Huang Hanwei. If someone finds out that she and Lin Daoqiu are traveling together on Treasure Island, it will be a big trouble.

"I want to go back to TVB to film."

Zhao Yazhi suddenly changed the topic to Wireless.

"When I was away, how many times did Shi Wenyan come to see you?"

"Three times, the last time was three days ago."

As soon as Shi Wenyan took office, Fang Yihua gave her a death order, telling her to bring Zhao Yazhi back to TVB as soon as possible.

Even the previous ten-year contract has been changed to five years.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't been persuading Zhao Yazhi to hold back, she might have already signed the five-year contract.

"Aqiu, in fact, I'm still young. Even if I sign for five years, it's not a big deal. It's better to just leave it at that."

Zhao Yazhi felt that at her age, it was basically impossible to sign a department contract, and she was already very satisfied with shortening the contract to five years.

Moreover, Shi Wenyan also promised her that she would not arrange busy work for her, and even if she really didn't like some plays, she didn't have to act.

These conditions are already very generous for Zhao Yazhi, who is only two months away from turning 24.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't say a word, I don't know what he was thinking there.

Looking at his serious expression, it seemed that he didn't want Zhao Yazhi to agree to the other party's conditions.

"If... If you think it's not possible, then I'll just wait."

Seeing that Lin Daoqiu didn't speak, Zhao Yazhi thought that he was very upset that she wanted to go back to Wireless, so she had to lower her head and prepare to wait and see.

"Fool, I know you like being an actor very much, so why would you object to your going back? Since Wireless has shown sincerity, then go back."

Lin Daoqiu's words made Zhao Yazhi, who was a little depressed, laugh out of joy, and then she nodded vigorously.

"It's so kind of you……"
