Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2066

"Flying Saucer Radio will present to you the theme song "Only Remember Today's Smile" from the movie "Swordsman: The Undefeated in the East" which will be released in two weeks...

"This time I would like to introduce to everyone that the singer of the Mandarin version of this theme song is our Brigitte Lin, Ms. Lin."

Tsui Hark and Brigitte Lin went to the radio station to participate in the broadcast promotion.

They have made many announcements and itineraries in the past few days, and the popularity of "Swordsman" has begun to spread all over the island.

During the interview, Tsui Hark and Brigitte Lin talked a lot about "Swordsman".

The audience kept calling, and the originally expected one-hour program was forced to be extended for half an hour.

As soon as they finished the interview and walked out of the radio station, just as Tsui Hark and Brigitte Lin were about to get into the car, she suddenly saw Fang Jinsheng get off from a car next to him.

Since Fang Jinsheng is here, it means that Lin Daoqiu must also be in that car.

"Mr. Lin is waiting for you two."

Knowing that Brigitte Lin went to the radio station to record a program today, and she has no schedule after that, so Lin Daoqiu specially came to pick her up.

"I thought you forgot about us."

After running for several days, Lin Daoqiu was nowhere to be seen. Brigitte Lin didn't seem very happy.

"I just arrived in Baodao yesterday, and Leng Yuanliang was promoted to the deputy general manager of China Film Group, so I held a banquet for him last night to congratulate him on his promotion. I came to see you as soon as I woke up today."

Lin Daoqiu explained to Brigitte Lin a little bit.

Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Brigitte Lin calmed down a little.

"The promotional effect of "Swordsman" is very good, you have worked hard during this time."

"Mr. Lin is too polite. Since I am the director of this drama, it is my duty to promote this drama. It is hard work."

Tsui Hark shook his hand. This time he went to Baodao to do publicity, he was much happier than before.

This time, it will be unprecedented for a movie to be screened in Xiangjiang and Baodao at the same time. Speaking of which, I still have a big advantage.

If the box office of "Swordsman" was originally expected to be around 3000 million, then if the box office of Taiwan is included, it might not be a problem to break 5000 million by then.

Compared with those special effects blockbusters, although martial arts shows no signs of decline, its box office performance has become increasingly unstable. It can even be said that pure martial arts movies have rarely seen big hits.

Tsui Hark's "Swordsman" plays the banner of new martial arts, hoping to let everyone get rid of the old style of martial arts and make more innovative martial arts movies.

However, although Tsui Hark's idea is good, it is a pity that there are too many people who want to make quick money. After a blockbuster movie comes out, as long as the technical content is not high, it will definitely be frantically followed.

If it weren't for this, Tsui Hark really didn't intend to shoot the sequel of "Swordsman" so soon.

"This time "Swordsman" is released simultaneously in Xiangjiang and Baodao. If the box office can break through 5000 million, I believe it will be a huge encouragement to Xiangjiang Films."

Lin Daoqiu's prediction is similar to Tsui Hark's. After all, martial arts movies don't have as many audiences as before.

Moreover, the current release schedule of "Swordsman" can only be regarded as a very ordinary schedule, and it is not at all comparable to the popular schedules of the Spring Festival or summer.

Like the God of Gamblers back then, it is basically impossible to rely on Xiangjiang's box office to break through 6000 million.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu did not raise his expectations for "Swordsman", and he would be quite satisfied if the two sides combined could break 5000 million.

"Mr. Lin is right. Once New Oriental Cinemas can connect Xiangjiang and Baodao, I believe that Xiangjiang Films will definitely produce a large number of excellent films."

Now that I can get the opportunity to be screened in two places at the same time, it is all arranged by Lin Daoqiu, so it is not just for anyone who wants to be screened in two places at the same time.

Although it seems that there is an invisible threshold blocking this, for Tsui Hark, the threshold set by Lin Daoqiu can be said to be very correct.

As long as those who make quick money are excluded, no matter how much they follow suit, the box office revenue will not be too high.

After all, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to let those follow-up movies get the chance to be released in two places at the same time.

As for movies that really have potential or are good, simultaneous releases in both places will surely bring in more box office. This is also a disguised form to encourage everyone to create more excellent movies and less follow-up themes.

"Simultaneous release in two places is just the beginning. Within five to ten years, I hope that in all Southeast Asian regions, New Oriental Cinemas can release a movie in multiple places at the same time."

This is what Lin Daoqiu will work on next, and for Tsui Hark, just being able to screen in Xiangjiang and Baodao at the same time has already made him very excited.

If Lin Daoqiu's grand strategy finally succeeds, Tsui Hark doesn't even dare to think about how much he will sell for a big-selling movie in the future.

Spent a relaxed and warm afternoon with Brigitte Lin, without work, Brigitte Lin hung on each other like a koala.

The two of them just lay on the sofa like this, very comfortable.

But the good time is always very short. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then Fang Jinsheng's voice came.

Since it was Fang Jinsheng who came to find him, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

After opening the door, Fang Jinsheng told Lin Daoqiu directly that Wang Daonan was already waiting for him over there, saying that he had something to talk to.

"If there's nothing else to do later, I'll come and pick you up for dinner."

After speaking, Lin Daoqiu took Fang Jinsheng and left the hotel.

When Lin Daoqiu returned to the Grand Hotel, in the VIP lounge, as soon as the waiter opened the door, Lin Daoqiu saw Wang Daonan, and there was an uncomfortable person sitting beside Wang Daonan.

"Mr. Lin, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Song Yaolian was demoted three grades in a row because of the incident at the beginning, and was demoted to a idle job.

After Li Zhengnan took over the big position, Song Yaolian knew that his chance to stand up had finally come.

So he tried every means, and after unremitting efforts, he finally regained Li Zhengnan's trust.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should be familiar with Secretary-General Song."

Wang Daonan knew everything about Lin Daoqiu and Song Yaolian, and he also knew that Lin Daoqiu would be very upset when he saw Song Yaolian.

However, it was Li Zhengnan's idea to use Song Yaolian to deal with Lin Daoqiu. He was just a person in charge of execution, so he would not express any opinion on it.

"Secretary-General Song? We haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you doing? I haven't heard about you for a long time. I've been wanting to find you but I can't find the time."

Although he didn't know what Wang Daonan meant by bringing Song Yaolian, but in this case, Lin Daoqiu had no choice but to play with them.
