Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 873 Three brothers cooperate?
This time Tsui Hark's premonition really came true.

After the box office came out the next day, "New Shushan Swordsman" got 270 million box office, while "Legend of Sword and Fairy" got 250 million.

The accumulated box office of the two films, "New Shushan Swordsman" has already won 100 million over "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But Jiahe was not happy with the good news, instead they all showed worried expressions.

Just one day later, "New Shushan Swordsman" dropped by 80 at the box office.

No matter how you look at it, this is definitely not a good omen.

"It won't crash all the way like "Teppanyaki" some time ago."

Inside Golden Harvest, such voices have already begun to appear.

Even Zou Wenhuai is worried that "New Shushan Swordsman" will repeat the mistakes of "Teppanyaki".

"How about we increase our publicity efforts?"

At this moment, He Guanchang couldn't think of any good solution other than doing this.

If nothing is done now, I am afraid that the box office of "New Shushan Swordsman" will continue to fall like this.

"No, just keep looking at it like this."

Zou Wenhuai shook his head, rejecting He Guanchang's idea of ​​increasing publicity.

At least for now, it seems that the ceiling of this drama can reach at least 3000 million.

As long as it can get a box office of 3000 million, it can be sold at a good price when it is sold.

Unfortunately, the box office momentum of "New Shushan Swordsman" has not stopped falling.

220 million, 200 million, 180 million, it can be said that "New Shushan Swordsman" is showing a downward trend every day.

By the end of the first week, "New Shushan Swordsman" had received a total of 1600 million box office.

On the other hand, the box office of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has exceeded 2000 million, and it has reached 2000 million in [-].

For these two dramas, everyone obviously prefers "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After all, in terms of special effects, plot, and scenery, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be said to be a complete victory over "New Shushan Swordsman".

And the popularity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" directly boosted the sales of the novel.

Publishers from all over the world flocked to the novel, desperately trying to obtain the publishing rights of the novel.

And this matter, Lin Daoqiu has handed over to Ma Shaoqiang of "Oriental Daily" to be responsible.

The novel alone has brought Lin Daoqiu more than ten million Hong Kong dollars in income.

And as the serialization of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" gets longer and longer, Lin Daoqiu will make more money.

But these are small money to him, and Lin Daoqiu doesn't particularly care about it.

…………

"How about it, have you decided what movie to make this year to compete with Mai Jia?"

Lin Daoqiu called Hong Jinbao and Yuen Biao to his office.

Last year, these two guys went to Hollywood to develop, leaving Xiangjiang's affairs behind.

Although "Fuxing Gaozhao" was filmed at the beginning of the year, for Sammo Hung, it was far from enough.

"Does Mr. Lin have any good suggestions?"

Sammo Hung has a screenwriter in his own hand, but he hopes that Lin Daoqiu can help him with ideas.

"I heard that Aaron's movie in Hollywood is about to wrap up. Are you interested in working with him on a movie?"

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao were immediately stunned by his words.

"Mr. Lin is joking, right? Are we working with Aaron?"

Sammo Hung couldn't believe that Lin Daoqiu wanted them to cooperate with Jackie Chan.

Knowing that the other party is Golden Harvest's ace star, can Zou Wenhuai agree to lend Jackie Chan to them?Think about it and know that this is impossible.

And not to mention that the relationship between Golden Harvest and New Oriental is already on fire.

Zou Wenhuai would never agree to let Jackie Chan film with them.

"I'm just asking casually. It would be best if you are interested. I will try my best to match up."

Lin Daoqiu's smile looked a little hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or joking.

However, Yuen Biao next to him was very interested in what Lin Daoqiu said.

"If Aaron can cooperate with us, of course I would be happy to see it happen."

A lot of things happened between the three brothers before, but now the times have passed.

Moreover, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also felt that the place was not suitable for them after they had been in Hollywood for a while.

A large part of the reason why their brothers did not get along before was because Jiahe favored Jackie Chan, but now this problem no longer exists.

"What do you think, Sanmao?"

Yuen Biao expressed his support, now it depends on what Sammo Hung has to say.

Sammo Hung felt that Lin Daoqiu might be hiding something from himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"If Aaron has no problem, of course I'm happy to see it happen."

The three brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let alone filming together.

If possible, Sammo Hung naturally hopes that their brothers can get together to cooperate, but it may be difficult for Golden Harvest to agree.

"If this is the case, then I will go and talk to you, but the possibility of success is not high, and you should be prepared."

Lin Daoqiu did not pat his chest and promise that this matter will definitely be done.

But the more he was like this, the more Sammo Hung felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Leaving Lin Daoqiu's office, Sammo Hung couldn't figure it out.

Yuen Biao beside him could see Sammo Hung's doubts.

"Brother, do you think Mr. Lin is making fun of us by saying what he said today?"

Sammo Hung quickly shook his head when he heard this, he didn't think Lin Daoqiu would be so bored as to make fun of them.

"Mr. Lin is not so boring. I guess he made this suggestion suddenly today. I'm afraid it's not just a casual talk."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said must have a deep meaning, but as for what the other party was thinking, Sammo Hung couldn't guess it for a while.

"Brother, what do you think Jiahe will think if Mr. Lin recruits Aaron to New Oriental?"

At this moment, Yuen Biao suddenly raised a possibility that shocked Sammo Hung.

If Lin Daoqiu poached Aaron to New Oriental, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to Golden Harvest.

"Why do you have such an idea? Mr. Zou will never let Aaron transfer to New Oriental, no matter how much money it costs."

Sammo Hung shook his head vigorously, he had never even thought about this possibility.

"Eldest brother, I heard people say that Mr. Lin intends to poach Aaron here to deal with Jiahe."

Yuen Biao is not the kind of person who likes to gossip, but when he heard this gossip, he still couldn't help being taken aback.

Because it is said that the person who broke the news is a close friend who works by Lin Daoqiu's side.

Anyone who is familiar with Lin Daoqiu knows that there are only a few people around him.
