Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Originally, the sky was clear and clear the day before, but on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the box office results of "Teppanyaki" were released.

In the Baojia Cinemas, many people began to feel anxious.

This naturally includes Shi Tian, ​​Zeng Zhiwei and Tsui Hark.

We were still celebrating the day before, but just one day later, the situation took a turn for the worse.

However, after working in the film industry for so long, it is obviously impossible to say that they could not have imagined that something like this would happen.

But with Xu Guanwen's brilliance and the fact that "Teppanyaki" sold as high as 3.4 million on the first day, they felt that their worries were simply unnecessary.

Just one day apart, everything seemed to be turned upside down.

"How's the investigation going?"

Eric Tsang was sent to investigate the audience's reputation after watching "Teppanyaki".

After working hard all day, he finally collected feedback from a group of viewers.

"The plot is not as funny as before, and there are no Xu Guanjie and Xu Guanying, plus Xu Guanwen's classic image has been subverted. These are the biggest reasons for the audience to stay away."

After analyzing the situation investigated by Eric Tsang, the box office prospects of "Teppanyaki" are very unclear.

"If the information you gathered from your investigation are true, the box office of "Teppanyaki" today will probably continue to fall."

After Shi Tian said these words, Tsui Hark and Eric Tsang's faces were not even surprised, and looked completely indifferent.

After all, they themselves knew very well that this time the box office of "Teppanyaki" had such a big drop just one day apart.

If there is nothing wrong with the film itself, that is absolutely impossible.

For a theater, it is impossible to expect everyone in Hong Kong to come in and support it.

The reason why a movie has a high box office is because some people go in and watch it twice or even three times, four times, five times, or six times, and watch it more than once.

But judging from the situation of "Teppanyaki", if it cannot attract the audience who have watched it and continue to buy tickets at the box office, I believe the box office of this drama will continue to decline.

While Shi Tian and the others were still discussing this matter, the phone next to them suddenly rang.

Shi Tian walked over and picked up the phone. He first said hello, and then he didn't know what was said on the phone. Finally, he said we will be there right away, and then hung up the phone.

"Master Bao asked us to go over and hold an emergency meeting."

Mr. Bao was just worried. "Teppanyaki" dropped by 900,000 the next day. This was no joke.

When he learned the news, he immediately asked Shi Wenyan to summon everyone to his office for a meeting.

When Shi Tian and the others arrived, they found that many people had gathered outside Bao Shaogang's office.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to the conference room to chat."

As soon as Shi Wenyan saw Shi Tian and others, she immediately called them into the conference room.

Not long after he sat down after entering, Bao Shaogang walked in from the outside with an angry look on his face.

"Can anyone tell me what went wrong? Why did the box office of Teppanyaki drop by 900,000 the day after it was released?"

For Bao Shaogang, the box office performance of "Teppanyaki" was something he was proud of.

He even planned to use this incident to reverse his previous bad impression in front of his grandfather and father.

But now, the box office of "Teppanyaki" suddenly dropped by 900,000, which was a slap in the face to him.

"Bao Shao, this situation is all because of me. I am willing to shoulder all the responsibilities."

Xu Guanwen did not evade responsibility. It seemed that he knew very well that there was indeed something wrong with his transformation this time.

Although it cannot be said that the filming was not good, if the audience does not buy it, it will still greatly affect not only him but also others.

But Bao Shaogang doesn't want to hear this at all now. He just wants to know why this situation happened.

After Xu Guanwen finished speaking, Bao Shaogang turned his attention to Shi Tian and others. It seemed that he wanted these three guys to tell him what was wrong.

"Master Bao, after the box office results of "Teppanyaki" were released today, I have already done some research."

Zeng Zhiwei was very guilty of being stared at by Bao Shaogang, so he took the initiative to truthfully report to Bao Shaogang all the investigations he had done today.

After listening to Eric Tsang's words, Bao Shaogang couldn't believe that there were so many things in the drama "Teppanyaki".

"Why didn't you film it the way it was?"

Really unable to find anyone to get angry with, Bao Shaogang turned his head directly to Xu Guanwen.

Regarding Bao Shaogang's questioning, Xu Guanwen behaved very calmly.

"If artistic creation keeps repeating what has been done before, it will be a kind of torture for the creator. I wanted to do something different, so I came up with the play "Teppanyaki"."

Bao Shaogang didn't want to hear what Xu Guanwen said at all.

"Mr. Xu, do you know why I paid such a high price to invite you to film this movie? My purpose is very simple, just to win over Lin Daoqiu. Does it make sense for you to tell me this now?

"

Bao Shaogang was also very angry because he didn't know what to say now.

Originally, the day before, he had even considered whether to lure Xu Guanwen to Kowloon Cinema to film for him.

But now it seems that this idea is no longer possible in Bao Shaogang's mind.

"Master Bao, I am entirely responsible for what happened this time, and I accept your criticism."

For Xu Guanwen, offending Bao Shaogang is definitely not a good thing.

Anyway, things are already like this now, and he has nothing to worry about.

Even if Bao Shaogang could persuade Jiahe to ban him, Xu Guanwen would not worry about having nowhere to go.

"Okay, okay, today I finally saw the power of the 'unpopular comedian'. If that's the case, please come back, Mr. Xu."

Bao Shaogang made an inviting gesture directly towards the door.

He felt that letting Xu Guanwen stay here would not help turn around the box office of "Teppanyaki" at all.

In this case, he really didn't want to see this annoying guy continue to wander in front of him.

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Guanwen nodded towards Bao Shaogang, then stood up and left the conference room.

After Xu Guanwen left, Bao Shaogang turned directly to Shi Tian and the others.

"I don't care what method you use now, you must immediately increase the box office of "Teppanyaki". If you need money, give money and people. As long as you can do it, I will never treat you badly."

Bao Shaogang was anxious. He didn't know what to do, so he could only let Shi Tian and the others find a way.
