Chapter 652 Is "Terminator" knocking on the door?
"You mean let us Lifeng Records undertake the musical "Mulan" in Hong Kong?"

On the top floor of the Zichen Restaurant, two hundred Xiehe employees were enjoying the gluttonous meal Wang Xiaohu prepared for them. Long Zichen stood in the corridor at the door, looking at Wang Xiaohu with incredible eyes.

Wang Xiaohu smiled and said: "No, you made a mistake. Lifeng Records not only has to undertake the musical "Mulan", but you also have to be the pianist."

"Ha, how did you think of it?" Long Zichen suddenly showed a very strange expression, and said in surprise, "But I'm not mentally prepared at all."

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu leaned against the wall of the corridor, rubbed his chin for a while and said, "I don't think you need to prepare for this one? I heard you play "Blessing Lovers" at Uncle Hui's place a long time ago. If you can play it on the piano, isn't a piece like "Mulan" within your reach?"

"Hehe." Long Zichen suddenly laughed, pointed at him and said, "Ahu, you don't have to put a high hat on me, I know that "Mulan" is more important to you, I'm afraid that my level will affect you publicity plan."

"Okay, this matter is settled, I believe you can complete the task well." Wang Xiaohu said: "In the past few days, you and Uncle Hui will discuss it first, and after the rehearsal is confirmed, we will go to the mainland with our company. "

"Go to the mainland?" Long Zichen's slender eyebrows frowned, and her eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and she heard her say: "If my grandfather knows that he is going to the mainland, I don't know how he will feel. He has treated us a lot these years. Juniors chatter about falling leaves returning to their roots."

Wang Xiaohu can understand that kind of mood, really can understand, otherwise he would not recognize his ancestors, he went to pat her on the shoulder and comforted her and said: "Zichen, if this cooperation goes well this time, Lifeng Records may open up the mainland. market, as long as the partnership with the mainland is confirmed, it will be much more convenient for the old man to go to the mainland in the future."

"Really?" Long Zichen looked up at Wang Xiaohu, the hope in his eyes was self-evident.

Wang Xiaohu nodded heavily and said, "That's right, leave this matter to me, and you can concentrate on the musical."

"I'll tell grandpa the good news right now." Hearing this, Long Zichen trotted away from the rooftop and went back to the office to announce the good news to grandpa.

The entire film of "Mulan" cost more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and if it is carried out according to Wang Xiaohu's global promotion plan, the publicity expenses will far exceed the cost of the film. All I have.

If Wang Xiaohu did what he did a few years ago, Hong Kong people would definitely say that Wang Xiaohu is crazy. Only Wang Xiaohu can do such a crazy behavior that is tantamount to gambling.

This time, no one will stand up and say that this is too crazy and hasty. Who made "Mulan" the double champion of Cannes? The two world film awards are enough to dispel any doubts. They all shut their mouths obediently and marveled. Yu Concorde's strong strength this time.

Everyone knows that Concord is determined to win this time. Everyone knows that the box office of "Mulan" will break the record in Hong Kong. They are quietly waiting, looking forward, and waiting for this exciting moment to come.

Xiehe Company did not keep everyone waiting. In mid-June, the global promotion strategy of "Mulan" was launched. Hong Kong companies and Southeast Asian companies immediately got busy, posting various types of "Mulan" posters in major cities. With the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture, the campaign will be fully publicized in the country's 6 million square kilometers of land.

Here, I have to mention the mobile projection team established by Wang Xiaohu in the mainland. After several years of development, this team has grown stronger and stronger. In the past, there was only one projector in each township. Now there are five projectors in larger towns. , more than a dozen projectionists, and smaller towns also maintain two cameras and five or six projectionists.

Moreover, in those remote mountainous areas, there will be a screening team going deep into the past every other month to broadcast domestic and Hong Kong movies in time for the villagers, which greatly enriches the spare time life of ordinary people.

This time, the rural mobile projection team is responsible for more than 75% of domestic publicity tasks, and the promotional props distributed by Xiehe Company have not shrunk: posters, trailers, cultural shirts, etc. are all available, just to create momentum for national publicity.

The promotional work in Japan is also proceeding in an orderly manner. 14K Shen Zhong’s team is responsible for this work. At present, the film company invested by Shen Zhong behind the scenes has been completely handed over to Wang Hongxing. After Shen Zhong and Wang Xiaohu agreed, 14K’s The film company became Concorde's satellite company and was mainly responsible for all publicity and distribution in Japan.

Wang Xiaohu made this decision after careful consideration. After all, 14K had a long-term relationship with the Yamaguchi-gumi. People's money is also a kind of anti-Japanese, isn't it?
This kind of anti-Japanese sentiment has developed to this day. Under Wang Xiaohu’s profound influence, it has been upgraded to make money from the Japanese with movies. In Shen Zhong’s words: Making movies is faster than making money from prostitutes, and you don’t have to worry about it all day long. .

After stepping into Hong Kong's summer vacation, the fight for local movies has gradually become fierce.

"Brothers and Difficult Brothers" directed by Maijia of New Art City, starring Shi Tian, ​​Lin Zixiang, Tsui Hark, Teddy Robin, Zhang Sylvia, Chung Chuhong, and Alan Tam led the box office this year with 1616 million Hong Kong dollars.

Xinyi City, which has been silent for many years, after Huang Baiming made the citizens of Xiangjiang cry with "Hitch the Wrong Car", bald Mai Jia and the Seven Little Monsters of Xinyi City finally made a comeback. The film absolutely swept the box office charts when it came out.

Not only that, "Little Fear", written by Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen, and directed by Liu Jiarong, sold a good result of 1393 million Hong Kong dollars, closely following "Brothers and Difficult Brothers".

Ranked No.3 is "Beware of Small Hands" written and directed by Sammo Hung.

The box office of "Fire Youth", directed by director Anhua Xu and starring his brother Leslie Cheung, who Wang Xiaohu has been following for a long time, is indeed sluggish at the box office, with only HK$230 million in the box office.

"The take-off era of Hong Kong movies has finally begun!" Wang Xiaohu looked at the latest issue of "Movie Biweekly" in his hand and was filled with emotion.

Yes, since Brother Xiaolong passed away, he has been making various preparations for the golden decade of Hong Kong movies.

Under his encouragement, Xinyicheng did not continue to shoot other films after filming "Best Partner", but concentrated on studying various commercial scripts, and came out again after five or six years of patience, and immediately dominated this year's box office chart It cannot but be said that they have really worked very hard these years.

The Seven Little Fortunes are not idle either. In fact, they have been dragged by Wang Xiaohu to participate in the shooting of big productions such as "Mythology", "Shaolin Temple", and "Mulan" after the mid-to-late 70s. It is unmatched by other Hong Kong filmmakers.

If Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao have gone through a brief run-in with "Project A", it will be absolutely easy to compete with New Arts City for the top three box office charts in the future.

After the propaganda work in Asia was done in an orderly manner, Wang Xiaohu took time to visit the home of Hong Kong Governor MacLehose. How can you say that the Governor of Hong Kong can be regarded as the mouthpiece of the propaganda work in the UK. Mulan" publicity work.

Moreover, China and the UK are currently busy with the return of Hong Kong. In addition, "Mulan" won two awards in Cannes. This has also become a rare topic for Chinese and British leaders to talk about in their free time.

"Tiger, everything is normal." MacLehose assured, patting his chest.

Wang Xiaohu nodded, thinking that he hoped so.

In late June, Wang Xiaohu flew to Los Angeles to check the progress of Hollywood's promotional work.

Pushing away the assistant president's office of Xiehe International Company, Wang Xiaohu saw that Winterdur was receiving a young man.

"James, as I said, we don't need this kind of script at the moment. Yes, we are too busy now, and we are making the final sprint for the release of "Mulan"!"

Winterdur didn't seem very impatient, he tried to persuade the young man in front of him in a polite tone.

"But I think my script is very commercially valuable. Please, it won't take you a few minutes. If you feel that reviewing the script takes a lot of time, you can first look at the concept map I prepared for this movie."

As the young man said, he took out a few pieces of paper from his briefcase and spread them out in front of Winterdur, "Look, this guy is a machine killer from the future, he wants to kill the protagonist's mother, so the protagonist Sending another machine to protect his mother, look at his muscles, will definitely attract the audience."

"No, when he is ugly in my eyes, young man, our meeting today is over. You must know that I still have a lot of tedious things to deal with. I don't have time to look at these kindergarten works you drew."

Winterdur finally got impatient, he waved his hands without raising his head and said, "Please go out now, I need to be quiet!"

"Oh God! Is it okay if I have Tiger King's letter of introduction?" The young man scratched his hair in frustration, and took out a well-preserved business card from his coat pocket, begging Said, "Please, I don't want to sell my script to the Italians."

"That's not a letter of introduction, it's just a simple business card!" Winterdur said angrily, "Ghost knows where you stole it from."

"No, I didn't steal it. Tiger Wang gave it to me in the theater a few years ago!" The young man said stubbornly.

Wang Xiaohu frowned, he had been listening to the conversation just now, especially when the young man said the content of the script, he vaguely felt that the script was a bit familiar, until he saw the business card, he smiled, it was "Terminator" Are you coming?
