Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

I'm afraid no one could have imagined that a big drama would begin in November.

Previously, Yuen Biao's "Mr. Zan and Looking for Money" and Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" were naturally the focus of everyone's attention.

But at this moment, a "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" suddenly appeared to steal the show.

If it weren't for the disbandment of Winner, I'm afraid the attention of "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" would have been squeezed to very little.

But now, the one that has received the least attention has become "Drunken Master".

Originally, Wu Siyuan wanted to create a gimmick about who was the number one martial arts star in Hong Kong.

But even if he really does this now, I'm afraid he won't attract much attention.

Moreover, he would not be willing to spend more than ten or two hundred thousand as promotional expenses.

If the money is too little, the effect will not be achieved, but if the money is too much, he will feel distressed.

In the end, Wu Siyuan only spent a few tens of thousands of yuan and placed ads in newspapers for a few days.

On the other hand, Jiahe's publicity offensive is quite sufficient.

This time He Guanchang allocated 200,000 yuan as publicity funds.

They used the money to publicize it on TV stations and newspapers in order to build up the momentum of "Mr. Zan and Looking for Money".

But what makes He Guanchang feel very helpless is that they obviously spent 200,000 yuan, but they can't compare with "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" which didn't cost even a dime.

"Lin Daoqiu is too lucky. Is it possible that he already knew about Winner's disbandment?"

In his office, He Guanchang read the news in the newspaper except for the news about Yuan Biao's new play.

On the other side, there is the news that "Bye Bye" was Winner's last film before his disbandment, which made it difficult for him not to become popular.

"Don't worry, Mr. He. I've already asked. This drama is just an ordinary romantic comedy. Even with Winner's influence, it won't get much box office."

Sammo Hung is very open-minded about this. He feels that the most popular subject right now is kung fu movies.

When Lin Daoqiu shoots this kind of romantic comedy and competes with them, he has almost no chance of winning.

"Sanmao, he can't beat you, but he can take away part of the audience, and he has the influence of "Drunken Master"..."

He Guanchang did not finish what he said, but he believed that Sammo Hung could already understand the meaning of his words.

But when it comes to this incident, the initiator is He Guanchang himself.

He wants to use Yuan Biao as a touchstone to see what Jackie Chan's composition is like.

As a result, he never expected that because of his own arrangements, he would now become extremely anxious.

Sammo Hung actually knew He Guanchang's intentions in doing this, but he didn't show it at the beginning.

After all, he is still very confident in "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua".

Moreover, he also wanted Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang to see clearly who is the future martial arts superstar in Hong Kong, Yuen Biao or Jackie Chan.

But the current situation is that if the three dramas really compete, the one who will suffer the most will definitely be Yuan Biao.

Because they are preparing to make a movie that will surpass the box office of "The Karate Kid".

If we encounter such a situation now, it is very likely that we will not even be able to get a box office of five million in the end.

Although there are many unfavorable factors, the general public and people in the film industry cannot care about these.

Everyone talks based on box office results and won't listen to Sammo Hung's explanations.

"Mr. He, actually there is a way to save it now."

At this time, Sammo Hung suddenly looked at He Guanchang and said something cautiously.

"What can I do?"

He Guanchang looked at Sammo Hung with a curious expression on his face.

Even he can't think of a solution. Can Sammo Hung really think of it?

"It's better to postpone the schedule of "Drunken Master" so that we have one less opponent."

Golden Harvest can't change the schedule of "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu", but they can change the schedule of "Drunken Master", and there is still time.

He Guanchang really didn't think of this method at first.

But after he heard what Sammo Hung said, he suddenly felt that this was really a good idea.

But when he thought of Wu Siyuan, He Guanchang began to hesitate again.

I had a strong attitude and changed the schedule, and now I suddenly asked him to change the schedule back. Wouldn't this mean I would offend the other party twice?

Although Jiahe doesn't need to look at Wu Siyuan's face, no matter what, he is also a respectable producer in Xiangjiang.

If word of what he did was spread, everyone would only say that Jiahe bullied the small ones, which would have a big impact on Jiahe's reputation.

But for the sake of Yuan Biao's new drama, He Guanchang still bit the bullet and called Wu Siyuan again.

………………

"Shifting period? Are you kidding me, Mr. He? We have spent so long and made so many preparations and are just waiting for the film to be released in three days. It is absolutely impossible for me to switch periods now."

People compete for a breath, and Buddha competes for a stick of incense. Wu Siyuan would rather fight Jiahe to death than retreat at this time.

And now everyone knows that "Drunken Master" will be released in three days. If he backed down at this time, wouldn't he be laughed at?

So Wu Siyuan hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking, without giving He Guanchang a chance to continue.

Although he hesitated for two seconds whether he should agree to the other party, his anger these days had long obscured his reason.

Even after that, Wu Siyuan made a decision and spent an additional 100,000 yuan on advertising.

After learning the news, He Guanchang realized that this confrontation was inevitable.

The advertising war between the two sides continued until the day the movie was released. The theaters for the premieres of "Mr. Zan and Mr. Zan" and "Drunken Master" were in different theaters.

"Mr. Zan and Looking for Money" naturally premiered at the Ocean Theater.

As the leading actor, Yuan Biao is in good spirits today. After all, this is his third movie starring and he is no longer a newcomer.

Yuen Biao is very confident about his new movie and feels that it will definitely surpass the box office of his last movie "The Karate Kid".

On the other hand, the scene of "Goodbye Wang Lao Wu" can be said to be full of stars.

Although the other four members of Winner were not present, Zhong Zhentao, as the leading actor, still had to attend the premiere of the movie.

"Ab, what was the reason for Winner's disbandment?"

"I heard that Winner was disbanded because of the disagreement between you and Allen, right?"

Zhong Zhentao attracted great attention from the media as soon as he appeared.

Everyone wants to ask Zhong Zhentao what is the real reason for Winner's disbandment.

But unfortunately, Zheng Danrui and Wen Jun had already prepared.

Zhong Zhentao just flashed his face in front of everyone and entered the theater, without answering reporters' questions throughout the process.

"Thank you for your concern. Mr. Zhong said that they were disbanded. He has made it very clear at the press conference before, so I will not respond further."

When the reporters at the scene heard this, they all showed helpless expressions. It seemed that their trip today was probably in vain.
