Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

On this day, a promotional advertisement for a movie appeared in the entertainment pages of major newspapers.

"The most exciting action movie of 1979"

"Asia's annual box office champion, an epoch-making action film"

"The first big-budget action film with a female protagonist"

These are all propaganda campaigns that Lin Daoqiu spent millions of dollars on in major media.

Before coming to Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu had already discussed the promotional expenses with Run Run Shaw.

At that time, "Mission: Impossible" had already achieved good box office success, so Run Run Shaw agreed to share the cost.

Originally, Warner should be responsible for these matters, but Lin Daoqiu knew without thinking that David would definitely not help him, so he did not count on Warner.

Fortunately, Lin Daoqiu had this foresight, otherwise he would be really troubled now.

Even if Ashley promised to give him a screen worth 2,000 yuan, if there were no promotional advertisements, most people would not know that such a movie was being released.

Because the pressure of 25 million in the first week is not small. If it is not reached, Richardson will automatically resign, and the number of screens will definitely be reduced to an unseemly amount.

Lin Daoqiu has been running around for publicity these days, and Brigitte Lin can't help because she doesn't have any reputation in Hollywood.

When she returns to the hotel every day, all Brigitte Lin can do is massage Lin Daoqiu to relieve stress. If she doesn't do this, she will feel like a burden.

"Don't think too much. These are all things I need to do. You are an actor. You have already finished filming the scene. You don't need to worry about the rest of the work."

Although Lin Daoqiu was very tired, he still didn't want Brigitte Lin to worry too much about this matter.

"That's what I say, but I stay in the hotel every day and can't do anything to help you. I feel very sorry for myself."

Brigitte Lin pursed her lips and looked not in a very high mood.

Although she knew that what Lin Daoqiu said was true, she just couldn't calm down.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid you won't be able to take any time off in a few days. I believe that all the major media will invite you to appear on the show."

Lin Daoqiu seems very confident about this, as if "Mission: Impossible" will soon win a high box office.

"I believe in you because you are the best."

After hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Brigitte Lin smiled sweetly, and then, while the other party was not paying attention, she placed a sweet kiss on Lin Daoqiu's cheek.

Covering his face, Lin Daoqiu turned around in shock and looked at Brigitte Lin, who was pretending to be fine.

A few seconds later, a scream suddenly came from the room, but strangely, it immediately returned to calm.

But from time to time there will be very subtle noises, which you can't hear clearly if you don't listen carefully.

……………

"Hey, what kind of movie is this? "Mission: Impossible"?"

A poster posted at the entrance of a certain cinema will occasionally attract viewers who are about to go in to watch a movie.

"I read it in the newspaper and it seemed like it was a movie shot in Hong Kong."

"Movies made in Hong Kong? Are you talking about Bruce Lee?"

Abroad, there was only one representative figure in Hong Kong movies at this time, and that was Bruce Lee.

They couldn't call him by any other name except Bruce Lee, and it would take more than twenty years for a new name to appear.

"I don't know, but it looks like it's an action movie with a female lead."

"Are you kidding me? It's an action movie with a female protagonist. Can I watch this movie?"

Many people had a bad opinion of "Mission: Impossible" at first.

Because in their opinion, action movies starring women are probably weak and not interesting at all.

"It said that this movie has won the box office championship in seven places in Asia. I think it should be good, even though it is a movie starring a Chinese actress."

Compared with the hesitation of men, most girls are still willing to buy tickets and attend the show.

And some of them are male and female couples. Because girls want to see the show, men have to buy tickets to accompany them.

……………

Because it was in Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to hold any premiere or premiere party. After all, he and Brigitte Lin were not famous at all in Hollywood.

And coupled with David's non-cooperation, there is basically no need to think about these things. It is already a very good thing to get 2,000 yuan to be released on the screen.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu was staying with Richardson and Carls. After all, it was the first day of the movie's release.

Although Richardson feels that this movie has a great chance of becoming a hit, this is only his judgment from a professional perspective.

As for whether the audience will buy tickets and enter the venue, this is beyond his control. In fact, many times his predictions are not accurate.

If Richardson could really tell at a glance whether a movie would make money, Warner wouldn't be the size it is now.

Waiting is a very boring and tedious thing, but fortunately, Lin Daoqiu was doing the same thing in post-production before, so it didn't matter to him.

Richardson and Carls seemed to have gotten used to it, and they were playing cards to pass the time.

"You said that if this movie gets a very good box office by then, David's face will probably be very bad."

"If it really gets 25 million at the box office in the first week, I believe the expression on David's face will be wonderful."

Even before the first batch of box office news came out, Richardson and Carles were already imagining what it would be like when David was embarrassed.

After all, that guy is so annoying, and he will do whatever it takes to fight for power and profit. His actions have also greatly harmed Warner Bros.

Lin Daoqiu, who was lying on the sofa, did not participate in their conversation. After all, his hatred for David was not that deep.

Lying down, Lin Daoqiu slowly fell asleep. It was 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were still nine hours before the first day's box office summary.

I don't know if it was because he was too tired, but Lin Daoqiu slept very hard that night.

He slept straight away until dawn. Before nine o'clock the next day, Lin Daoqiu slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up and found Carls and Richardson, one lying on the table and the other with his legs propped up on a chair, both asleep.

It seemed that he occupied a good place yesterday, but when he got up, Lin Daoqiu still felt a little sore all over.

I went into the bathroom, freshened up briefly, and shaved my newly grown beard.

At this time, Lin Daoqiu suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then someone opened the door and walked in.

After more than ten seconds, Lin Daoqiu first heard a surprised voice coming from outside.

Then Karls suddenly rushed in front of Lin Daoqiu with a piece of paper, and then stared at Lin Daoqiu with his bloodshot eyes, which looked very scary.
