Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

"Hahaha...Lin Daoqiu, I wonder if you dare to be arrogant in front of me this time."

I heard that the box office of "Teppanyaki" yesterday was as high as 3.4 million, which is 700,000 more than the 2.7 million of "The Best of Us 2".

Bao Shaogang's mood can be described as extremely refreshing.

You must know that Bao Shaogang has been having a very unhappy life during this period, and no matter what he does, it does not go well.

He originally wanted to join hands with Chen Jiasheng to acquire Heung Kong Electric, but was declined by the other party.

And Bao Shaoqiang's status in the family gradually became more and more important.

His grandfather and father valued him more and more, and Bao Shaogang even felt that he had begun to be left out.

Regarding such a situation, Bao Shaogang's mood can only be described as anxious.

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

If we can defeat New Oriental during the Spring Festival, this will definitely attract the attention of my grandfather and father.

After all, Lin Daoqiu's influence in the film industry is not only limited to Hong Kong, but his reputation is also very famous internationally.

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

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

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

When the first-day box office results for "Teppanyaki" and "Best Partner" are released.

Most people's views at this time have become more inclined to stand on the side of "Teppanyaki".

After all, "Teppanyaki", which exceeded 3.4 million in box office on its first day, is likely to break the box office record of Hong Kong movies.

This time, the goal of Baojia Cinemas is probably no longer 30 million, but to break through 40 million box office.

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

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

Shi Tian brought over Eric Tsang and Tsui Hark to share this joy.

Plus today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so they got together to have hot pot to celebrate.

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

Tsui Hark shook his head as he spoke.

"Actually, I can't blame you. When I was watching it, I also felt that this time it was very suspenseful, but as I said, things are unpredictable."

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

After he chewed it a few times, his face showed a satisfied expression.

"Do you think that after "Teppanyaki" achieved such good results this time, Mr. Bao will want to recruit Xu Guanwen to the Kowloon Cinema Line?"

Shi Tian suddenly said something, which surprised both Zeng Zhiwei and Tsui Hark.

It can be said that this time, almost 80% of the production of "Teppanyaki" was made by Xu Guanwen.

Although Eric Tsang and Shi Tian also participated in the performance and production of the drama, there was really not much they could do to help.

If it were them, they would definitely try their best to bring Xu Guanwen, a cash cow, to the Kowloon Cinema Line.

"I think Mr. Bao will definitely have such an idea. Let's not say 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 50 million from Bao Shaogang to shoot "The 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 I have to worry about Baojia Shao's withdrawal of capital all day long, it will not be a good life."

Eric Tsang saw it very clearly, instead of worrying that Xu Guanwen's arrival would cut down on their production budget.

It would be better to think more about what kind of situation they would face if Xu Guanwen fails to come over and Bao Shaogang withdraws his capital.

"You are right. It seems that my worries are unnecessary. We even have to find a way to help Paobao invite Xu Guanwen over."

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

They couldn't be too blatant about inviting Xu Guanwen.

After all, Jiahe is also their partner. If they are too blatant to poach other people's celebrities, it will be troublesome if they create a problem.

"What are you afraid of? "Teppanyaki" is still in theaters now. Then we can find a reason to invite Xu Guanwen out for a chat. It doesn't matter even if Mr. Zou knows about it."

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

After discussing it, several people decided to wait until the day of the "Teppanyaki" celebration banquet to make an appointment with Xu Guanwen.

…………

Just when I was going up and down the Baojia Cinema, 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 box office results for the next day were released, everyone’s glasses almost fell through the cracks.

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

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

He couldn't believe that "Teppanyaki" dropped from 3.4 million yesterday to only 2.5 million.

In just one day, the box office dropped by 900,000 yuan. This is incredible.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly raised his head and asked.

"Have the box office results of "The Best of Us" been released?"

The staff member nodded quickly and answered him.

"The box office of "The Best of Us 2" is the same as yesterday, still 2.7 million."

Upon hearing the news, Zou Wenhuai felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained out of him.

He leaned directly on the chair and began to say nothing.

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

"In just one day, the box office dropped by 900,000 yuan. This is simply too... too..."

After talking about two wives in a row, Zou Wenhuai really didn't know what to say anymore.

"Actually, during the preview meeting, after watching "Teppanyaki", I also felt that there was something wrong with this drama."

He Guanchang has always kept these words in his heart and dared not say them out.

After all, when it comes to making movies, Xu Guanwen is obviously more experienced than them and knows more.

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 was there.

But looking at it now, my original worries were still correct.
