Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 843 Optimistic enough
"Hahaha... Lin Daoqiu, let me see if you dare to be arrogant in front of me this time."

I heard that the box office of "Teppanyaki" was as high as 340 million yesterday, which is 2 more than the 270 million of "Best Partner 70".

Bao Shaogang's mood can be described as exhilarating.

You must know that during this period of time, Bao Shaogang has been living very unsatisfactorily, no matter what he does, it is not smooth.

Originally wanted to join forces with Chen Jiasheng to acquire Heung Kong Electric, but was declined by the other party.

And Bao Shaoqiang's position in the family has gradually become more and more important.

Grandpa and father valued him more and more, even Bao Shaogang felt that he had begun to be left out in the cold.

For such a situation, Bao Shaogang's mood can only be described as burning with anxiety.

So he had to do something to impress his grandfather and father and let them know that he was still useful.

If New Oriental can be defeated during the Spring Festival, it will definitely attract the attention of grandpa and father.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's influence in the film industry is not only in Xiangjiang, but also internationally.

Once the myth of Lin Daoqiu's box office is shattered, those media will definitely give themselves the name of a real Xiangjiang movie tycoon.

Although what Bao Shaogang wanted was not a movie tycoon, but to become the heir of the Bao family.

But what he needs now is not to let himself become a mediocre person.

When the box office of "Teppanyaki" and "Best Partner" was released on the first day.

Most people's views at this time have become more inclined to side with "Teppanyaki".

After all, "Teppanyaki", which broke through 340 million box office on the first day, is likely to break the box office record of Xiangjiang movies.

This time, the goal of Baojia Cinemas is probably not 3000 million, but to break through 4000 million at the box office.

After the box office on both sides was released, besides Bao Shaogang and Zou Wenhuai, there was another group of people who were the happiest.

"I didn't expect "Teppanyaki" to get such a high box office. It seems that we were all wrong this time."

Shi Tian found Zeng Zhiwei and Tsui Hark to share the joy together.

In addition, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they get together to eat hot pot to celebrate.

"After all, he is Xu Guanwen. Before, I was worried that the audience would not buy his transformation work, but now I think too much."

Tsui Hark shook his head while talking.

"Actually, I can't blame you. When I was watching it, I also felt that this time was very unpredictable, but it's still the same sentence, the world is unpredictable."

Zeng Zhiwei put a piece of beef into the pot and rinsed it for a few times, then dipped it in some seasoning and put it in his mouth.

After he chewed a few times, his face was full of satisfaction.

"Do you guess that "Teppanyaki" has achieved such a good result this time, will Bao Shao want to lure Xu Guanwen to the Kowloon Cinema?"

Shi Tian suddenly said something that surprised Zeng Zhiwei and Tsui Hark with a question.

It can be said that this time, almost [-]% of the production of "Teppanyaki" is due to Xu Guanwen.

Although Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian also participated in the performance and the production of this drama, there is really not much they can do to help.

If it was them, they would definitely find ways to get Xu Guanwen, a cash cow, to the Kowloon Cinemas.

"I think Bao Shao will definitely have such an idea. Let's not talk about whether Mr. Zou is willing or not. If Xu Guanwen really comes over, what should we do?"

Before Xu Guanwen came over, Tsui Hark was able to get a budget of 5000 million from Bao Shaogang to shoot "New Shushan Swordsman".

But if the other party comes over, it will be almost impossible for them to get such a large budget in the future.

"I would rather let Xu Guanwen come over, so that Baojia Cinemas can continue to support it, otherwise, if you worry about Baoshao's divestment all day long, then life will be difficult."

Zeng Zhiwei saw it very clearly, rather than worrying that Xu Guanwen's coming would cut their production budget.

It's better to think more about what kind of situation they will face if Xu Guanwen doesn't come, when Baoshao just withdraws the capital.

"You're right. It seems that my worries are unnecessary. We even have to find a way to invite Xu Guanwen over from Pampers."

After Shi Tian listened to Zeng Zhiwei's words, he immediately showed an expression of enlightenment.

Regarding the matter of inviting Xu Guanwen, they couldn't do it too blatantly.

After all, Golden Harvest is their partner no matter what. If they are too blatant to poach their star, once they make a mess, it will be troublesome.

"What are you afraid of? "Teppanyaki" is still in theaters. When the time comes, find an excuse and ask Xu Guanwen out for a chat. Even if Mr. Zou knows about it, it doesn't matter."

Shi Tian's mind is very clear, and the method he thought of sounds very good.

After discussing with each other, several people decided to wait until the day of the "Teppanyaki" celebration banquet to meet Xu Guanwen.

…………

While going up and down the Baojia theater line, I was still excited about the box office results of "Teppanyaki" on the first day.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the next day's box office came out, everyone's glasses were broken almost immediately.

"This...this...how is this possible?"

Looking at the box office records in his hand, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but wipe his eyes a few more times.

He couldn't believe that "Teppanyaki" dropped from 340 million yesterday to only 250 million.

In just one day, the box office dropped by 90 yuan, which is incredible.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai suddenly seemed to think of something, and he quickly raised his head to ask.

"Has the box office of "Best Partner" come out?"

The staff nodded quickly, and then answered him.

"The box office of "Best Partner 2" is the same as yesterday, still 270 million."

Hearing this news, Zou Wenhuai felt as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted all at once.

He just leaned back in the chair, and started to stay there without saying a word.

After a while, when He Guanchang came in, he saw Zou Wenhuai's appearance, so he waved his hand to let the staff leave.

"In just one day, the box office has lost 90 yuan, which is simply too...too..."

Zou Wenhuai really didn't know what to say after talking about two concubines in a row.

"Actually, when I was at the audition, after watching "Teppanyaki", I also felt that this film was very problematic."

He Guanchang kept these words in his heart all the time and dared not say them out.

After all, Xu Guanwen is obviously more experienced and knowledgeable than them in making movies.

Even though he was a little worried at the time, He Guanchang didn't think there would be any big problems, after all, Xu Guanwen's record lay there.

But looking at it now, my original worry was still correct.
