"Baojia vs. New Oriental"

"Three British Wars against Lu Bu" staged in the Spring Festival file"

In early February, New Oriental and Baojia Cinemas began warming up for the Spring Festival stalls.

New Oriental's "Best Partner", "Fuxing Gaozhao", "I Love Evening Lily", and "Teppanyaki" by Baojia Cinemas.

All major newspapers, magazines and television are vigorously promoting these four films.

Especially "Best Partner" and "Teppanyaki", both of which will be released on New Year's Eve.

But no matter in terms of quantity or quality, these three plays of New Oriental seem to be impeccable.

On the other hand, there are not many decent works on Baojia Cinemas, except for Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki".

As for Golden Harvest, without Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen, there are no strong movies on the block.

Although at a disadvantage, Baojia Cinemas did not relax at all in terms of publicity.

Bao Shaogang, who hadn't shown up for a long time, finally made a rare appearance in the conference room of Baojia Cinemas for this Spring Festival.

""Teppanyaki" must win New Oriental this time, and I have already prepared 50 publicity fees this time."

For Bao Shaogang, although he has not been to Baojia Cinemas for a long time, he still attaches great importance to the schedule of the Spring Festival in 83.

A drama costing 50 yuan in promotional fees, it can be said that Bao Shaogang didn't even consider whether he was making money this time.

What he wants is actually very simple, which is to beat New Oriental at the box office and humiliate Lin Daoqiu.

"All theaters under Baojia Cinema Line will screen "Teppanyaki" at the same time on New Year's Eve."

Naturally, Bao Shaogang would not have objections to Shi Wenyan's arrangement.

But this drama is going to fight against New Oriental's "Best Partner".

Bao Shaogang had already heard that the cast of that play was top-notch, and the production cost was astonishingly high.

On the other hand, on the side of "Teppanyaki", after excluding the actors' remuneration, the entire filming cost only 300 million yuan.

In such a comparison, it seems a bit dwarfed by comparison, and this is what makes Bao Shaogang most uneasy.

"Mr. Xu, I hope you can tell me honestly, what are the chances of "Teppanyaki" winning "Best Partner"?"

When Bao Shao first spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xu Guanwen. It seemed that he really wanted to get an affirmative answer from the other party.

But it's a pity that Xu Guanwen's answer made him stunned on the spot.

"Bao Shao, if you want me to predict, the chance of "Best Partner" winning "Teppanyaki" is [-]%, and the chance of "Teppanyaki" winning "Best Partner" is [-]%."

Bao Shaogang almost vomited blood when he heard this, but he never expected that he would hear such an answer from Xu Guanwen.

You must know that before this, he had sufficient confidence in "Teppanyaki".

After all, Xu Guanwen's previous achievements were too dazzling. Except for Lin Daoqiu, no one could compare with him.

But now he actually said something like one to nine out of his mouth, which was really hard for Bao Shaogang to accept.

"Bao Shao, in fact, everyone doesn't know what the final result will be. Mr. Xu was just joking."

Zeng Zhiwei hurried out to smooth things over, he didn't want to make Bao Shaogang angry because of Xu Guanwen's words.

You must know that they still expect Bao Shaogang to invest more in them in the future.

If he loses confidence now, it would be better for them to change careers as soon as possible.

I don't know if Bao Shaogang listened to Zeng Zhiwei's words, but now that "Teppanyaki" has been filmed, it's too late for him to regret it.

"I know that there are a lot of rumors outside recently, but I hope you don't listen to those rumors. Baojia Cinemas will always exist, and I will invest in making more movies."

Although he said so, Bao Shaogang didn't think so in his heart.

But in order not to let the insiders of Baojia Cinemas fluctuate, he still has to talk about these scenes.

Anyway, it's just a few words of mouth, and you don't need to spend a dime, which is really a bargain for Bao Shaogang.

"Don't worry Bao Shao, we will continue to work hard to produce more blockbuster movies."

Shi Tian and Zeng Zhiwei hurriedly expressed their loyalty to Bao Shaogang, and it seemed that they had listened to what Bao Shaogang had just said.

…………

"Qiuguan, you'll be like this later..."

The shooting scene of "New Shushan Swordsman" is located in a very secret place.

In order to make this movie well, Tsui Hark can be said to have put all his energy into it from the very beginning.

But it is a pity that although he has sufficient funds in his hand, he was unable to invite the actors he wanted to invite.

Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Brigitte Lin, none of these three appeared in this edition.

This is a huge regret for Tsui Hark.

But even so, the filming progress of "New Shushan Swordsman" is still very smooth, and in a month's time, the film can be completed.

Although it can't catch up with the Spring Festival, it is not a big problem for Tsui Hark.

After all, this special effects movie, which cost 5000 million yuan, is about to come out.

As the date approached, Tsui Hark's mood became more and more tense.

"Would you like to take a rest first, your condition is not very good these days."

Shi Nansheng has been by Tsui Hark's side all the time, and she found that Tsui Hark's state seems a little too tense recently, which is not good news.

"It doesn't matter, I can finish the filming after a month. Then I will have a lot of rest time. At that time, we will travel abroad for a few months and then come back."

Although he said so, Tsui Hark was really tormented by letting Tsui Hark take a break from making movies for a few months and not doing anything related to movies.

Shi Nansheng obviously didn't take what Tsui Hark said to heart, because she knew this man too well.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Lin's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has been filmed in the mainland, and the team has returned to Xiangjiang."

Tsui Hark, who was preparing for the next scene, suddenly turned his head back after hearing Shi Nansheng's words.

Eyes widened, looking surprised.

"If possible, I would also like to go to the mainland to shoot scenes, but the risk of doing so is too great, and only Mr. Lin has such courage."

Tsui Hark doesn't want to do this, but if a small person like him really pulls a large group of people to the mainland to shoot scenes.

At that time, he didn't have to think about the box office on Treasure Island, and he would definitely be completely banned there.

"You said that if Baoshao loses two games in a row this time, will Baojia Cinemas still exist?"

Xu Hark frowned upon hearing Shi Nansheng's words.

"Xu Guanwen may lose, but the possibility of me winning is definitely higher than him."
