Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

He Guanchang's idea is quite normal. After all, this drama will be released during the Chinese New Year, and there are more than forty theaters under the Xiangjiang Cinema Line.

It is definitely possible to achieve a box office of 20 million, as long as the script is not too bad.

After all, last year Li Yuanba's "Dragon Ninja" had a box office of 7.5 million in Hong Kong. At that time, Li Yuanba was not even famous at all.

So to sum up, He Guanchang's box office prediction for Li Yuanba's new drama is also made based on all the favorable conditions.

"Does Mr. He think that Chen Xunqi's new drama won't even reach 20 million?"

Lin Daoqiu smiled and asked the other party again.

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, He Guanchang's face didn't look very happy.

If Chen Xunqi really had this ability, he would not come to Lin Daoqiu himself to ask for an explanation.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you should also understand very well how high Jiahe's expectations are for this drama. What if the box office does not reach 20 million by then?"

The purpose of He Guanchang's trip was actually to find Lin Daoqiu for reassurance.

In fact, when He Guanchang learned that this play was the first play directed by Chen Xunqi, a novice director, he actually felt a little happy in his heart.

Because if it fails then, he can get more things from Lin Daoqiu.

It is not impossible to even get a Hollywood script from Lin Daoqiu and push Li Yuanba to Hollywood.

"Mr. He, I can understand why you have such worries. It's difficult not to worry about Chen Xunqi's lack of impressive results."

Lin Daoqiu suddenly thought about the problem from He Guanchang's point of view, which surprised He Guanchang.

However, his worries were justified both emotionally and rationally, so He Guanchang had nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Well, how about we make a bet."

Lin Daoqiu's words made He Guanchang immediately interested. He seemed to have been waiting for Lin Daoqiu to say these words.

"I wonder what kind of bet Mr. Lin wants to make with me?"

Seeing He Guanchang's unconcealable happiness, Lin Daoqiu knew that he had been waiting for this.

It can be seen that He Guanchang seems to be very confident about this bet, as if he thinks he will definitely win.

"I bet that the box office of this drama directed by Chen Xunqi will exceed 20 million. If not, I will tailor-make the next new drama for Li Yuanba, and I will be responsible for both the script and the director."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say it was a new Hollywood drama, which made He Guanchang a little disappointed.

However, given Lin Daoqiu's status today, it is already a great thing to be able to provide such conditions.

He Guanchang never thought about becoming fat in one bite. After all, Li Yuanba had not yet established a foothold in Hong Kong and was about to go to Hollywood to make a name for himself. No matter how he thought about it, he felt it was not appropriate.

"Then if Chen Xunqi's new drama reaches a box office of 20 million, I wonder what Mr. Lin wants to get from Golden Harvest?"

Although He Guanchang feels that he has a good chance of winning, he still has to ask clearly what he will have to pay if the box office exceeds 20 million by then.

After He Guanchang asked this question, Lin Daoqiu smiled slightly.

"I have wanted to work with Mr. Xu Guanwen for a long time, but I have never had the chance. If I win this time, then I can just ask Mr. Xu to come to New Oriental to help me film a movie."

Lin Daoqiu's request is not too much, but for Golden Harvest, Xu Guanwen now has to help Di Bao film three movies before returning to Golden Harvest.

By that time, if Jiahe loses this bet, wouldn't it mean that Xu Guanwen would have to film four movies outside before he could go back to help Jiahe?

If it had been anyone else, He Guanchang might not have been too worried, but since this person was Xu Guanwen, he would have to think carefully.

That guy may not be able to film one film in a year. If everything goes well, it will take four years to film four films.

It was a terrifying thing to think about releasing Jiahe's mountain-holding treasure for four years.

"Is Mr. Lin taking advantage of the situation?"

He Guanchang said this with a smile, but it could be seen that he was not very satisfied with the request made by Lin Daoqiu.

"It all depends on how much confidence Mr. He has in himself. In fact, whether he wins or loses in this bet, it is a good thing for Jiahe."

What Lin Daoqiu said made He Guanchang confused.

It would be okay if he wins, but losing is also a good thing for Jiahe. He wants to make sure that Lin Daoqiu is not joking with him, right?

"If you win, it's great, but if you lose, it means that Chen Xunqi's new drama has reached 20 million. Isn't this what Jiahe most hopes to see, and the idea of ​​​​making Li Yuanba a hit come true?"

Lin Daoqiu's words were somewhat reasonable, and no matter what He Guanchang did, he couldn't help but agree with them.

"Mr. Lin is really amazing. He convinced me in just a few words, and I couldn't even refute him."

He Guanchang smiled, and it seemed that he had agreed with Lin Daoqiu's statement.

"Actually, having Xu Guanwen help New Oriental film filming is also a good thing for Jiahe."

If Lin Daoqiu said it before, He Guanchang can agree with it.

Let Xu Guanwen go to New Oriental to help Lin Daoqiu film a movie, which he never thought of, and it would be of no benefit to Jiahe.

In addition to getting a good box office, it will basically not benefit Jiahe at all.

"Mr. Xu went to help Di Bao shoot three movies. He will decide the genre. Let's not talk about the quality or bad. With the speed at which Mr. Xu makes movies, it will take three years to complete the three movies. By then, will his movies be the same?

If it is as popular as it is now, there must be a question mark."

It is actually normal for Lin Daoqiu to speculate like this. After all, "Teppanyaki" is indeed not a very good result for Xu Guanwen.

Moreover, the box office of 20 million was achieved during the Spring Festival period of Baojia Cinemas.

The box office revenue was over 10 million less than that of "The Best Partner" of the same period. This is indeed not the Xu Guanwen that everyone remembers.

"If Mr. Xu loses his virginity at Dibao, then if I invite him to come to New Oriental to film a movie, wouldn't it be able to help him regain his previous reputation?"

Although it sounded like Lin Daoqiu's words were a bit exaggerated, it didn't feel that way to He Guanchang's ears.

On the contrary, he slowly began to agree with what Lin Daoqiu said. After all, the person who can set new highs in the box office of Hong Kong movies is Lin Daoqiu.

He said that if he could help Xu Guanwen regain his reputation, there was really nothing to refute.
