    The box office data in the next few days confirmed Zhou Wen's guess, rising from 6 million on the second day to 7 million, continuing to lead the box office list, but never surpassing the 9 million mark on the first day.  The bosses of several major theater chains breathed a sigh of relief. This kind of box office data is the normal performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

    At the same time, several major theaters also learned from Zhou Wen the reason for the abnormal box office. To put it bluntly, the 1997 deadline is approaching, and everyone has varying degrees of anxiety and lack of security about the unknown future. At this time, the airport shooting occurred  During the incident, most Hong Kong residents were squatting at home watching the news, and how could they be in the mood to go to the cinema to watch a movie?  In fact, not only the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was affected, but also the "Plan A Sequel" released at the same time.

    "In the next few years, there will be both business opportunities and crises for everyone. The film industry will be unprecedentedly prosperous, and the pockets of everyone here will become more and more generous." Zhou Wen said while answering the questions of the bosses of several major theater chains: "But  Incidents like this may happen again in the future, so everyone must be fully mentally prepared, and it is best to formulate corresponding emergency measures to avoid the situation where the movie is released but no one watches it."

    In addition to the two major theater chains, Golden Princess and Golden Harvest, the owners of other theater chains such as New Treasure, Marine, Pearl, Lee Stage, Pan Asia, Kyoto, Nanhua, Guohua, and Independence did not listen. They thought Zhou Wen was a bit alarmist.  , one by one, chatting quietly, smoking cigars, or yawning repeatedly. Seeing this, Zhou Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, simply giving up such a heavy topic and chatting nonsense with everyone.

    After the show ended, Lei Juekun asked in a low voice: "Awen, you said that if similar major events happen in the future, how should we respond?"

    "At that time, we could only increase publicity efforts and create a hot topic that would attract more public attention, so as to divert the public's attention. But the crisis I want to talk about is still early, and it may not necessarily happen." Zhou Wen said with a smile on his face.  In my heart, I underestimated that that big event would come in another year and a half, and I had to think of countermeasures beforehand.

    In the 1987 Hong Kong movie box office list, the annual box office champion "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers" finally gave up to "A Chinese Ghost Story" after leading it for 10 months. The latter once again broke the Hong Kong box office record with 38.59 million, loading  Anthology of Hong Kong Film History.

    In this battle for the box office, Zhou is the biggest winner, not only making the beauty Wang Zuxian popular.  This further broadened the path for Leslie Cheung's film journey. His brother successfully completed the transition from the singing world to the film industry and ushered in the first career peak in his life.

    At the same time, Zhou Films has also entered its first harvest period, and the production of "Female Boxer" is about to be completed.  "Prison Story" has begun to enter the pre-publicity stage, while "Rouge Button" is still working slowly and carefully.  On the contrary, the filming of "God of Gamblers", which was auditioned two years in advance, was completed in only 20 days.  It is the only movie that Zhou Wen has the most relaxed production experience.

    But when Wang Jing Le Dian Dian ran to find Zhou Wen to get a good schedule, she unexpectedly hit a snag.

    ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t you let me release it during the Christmas period?¡±

    ¡°During Christmas, we will arrange a competition between Prison Storm and A Better Tomorrow 2.¡± Zhou Wen said with a smile.

    "I can bear it!" Wang Jing immediately lost his temper when he heard it was "A Better Tomorrow".

    After noticing that Wang Jing was a little depressed, Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Not confident?"

    Wang Jing scratched his head and said: "It's not that I don't have confidence. After all, both films have Chow Yun-fat. I just want to avoid the edge. Let the film I direct get the maximum benefit from the box office."

    "Yes, I think so too." Zhou Wen nodded and said: "Actually, I have very high expectations for "God of Gamblers". How about arranging to compete with Jiahe's "Flying Dragon" on the Spring Festival schedule? Let me see, it still looks like  New Art City plans to compete with them with "Eight Star Announcement", and we are just in time to disrupt the situation."

    "Okay! Absolutely no problem!" Wang Jing nodded vigorously. Anyway, Xinyi City is taking the lead. When Xinyi City and Jiahe Kill are both injured, he will jump out to clean up the mess. It will be fun then.

    "Boss, there is one more thing I need to report to you." Wang Jing raised his eyes hesitantly and observed Zhou Wen's expression.

    Zhou Wen thought for a while and said, "Huh? That's what you're talking about, right? Fahrenheit Brothers called me yesterday. I don't have any objections. The key depends on your attitude."

    What the two were talking about was Yong Sheng's plan to use Wong Jing to shoot the sequel to "The Big Girl". Wong Jing has just made a name for himself in the film industry and is on the rise of his career as a director. Naturally, he hopes to take on more films to hone his directing skills.  , you must know that directors, like actors, need a lot of movies to improve their skills. Only by shooting more works can they grasp the market trend more accurately and make movies that suit the audience's taste.

    "Imy family is under a lot of pressure, haha, so" Wang Jing lowered his head in embarrassment.

    "rest assured, I won¡¯t think too much about it.  Zhou Wen said: "It's good to be able to support yourself, but if the family pressure is particularly high, it's best to tell me and I will do my best to help you. We are a family, aren't we?"  "

    "Hey, thank you boss!" Seeing Zhou Wen's answer, Wang Jing's heart settled. To be honest, he had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Zhou Wen about this matter for the past few days, but he didn't know where to start. Today he mustered up the courage  When he said it, Zhou Wen not only did not object, but encouraged him and even offered to share the pressure. Especially the concept of "family" made Wang Jing feel warm in his heart.

    Yes, it feels like a family!  Wang Jing left with satisfaction. At the same time, he also remembered the Wang Zuxian incident half a month ago. In order to clear Wang Zuxian's name, Zhou almost invited all the most powerful lawyers in Hong Kong to file a lawsuit against Debao. Debao refused to admit it at first, and waited until the police provided evidence.  After receiving relevant evidence, Debao had to admit it, publicly apologize and pay 1.5 million yuan in damages

    Those newspapers employed by Debao have suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. Not only were the newspapers burned down, but their bosses were also detained by the police. The foundation they had built over the years collapsed in an instant

    From that time on, Zhou Wen's reputation as a protector of shortcomings spread widely in the circle. The Hong Kong media industry reached an agreement that in the future, even if it provokes the Hong Kong governor, Zhou Wen cannot be touched. He takes both black and white, and even the Hong Kong police give him face.  ¡­

    ¡­¡­Dividing line¡­¡­

    As 1988 approaches, the annual box-office war has once again reignited, with Prisoners and A Better Tomorrow 2 head-to-head, both starring Chow Yun-fat.  Xiao Ma and Zhong Tian are killing each other on the screen. Different from Zhou Wen's memory, "A Better Tomorrow 2" is quite different from the original version. Tsui Hark and John Woo had a disagreement before, which led to a huge change in the style of the film.  In the end, the two of them each directed a film. The one that was released this time was directed by Tsui Hark. The whole film exudes a strong Tsui Hark style. Tsui Hark used his childhood life in Vietnam as a clue to present a "A Better Tomorrow" to the audience.  Prequel.

    "Which one of the two movies do you think is better?" Lei Juekun asked when he called Zhou Wen.

    "I can't tell." The butterfly effect broke out.  Zhou Wen didn't know the final result either: "No matter who wins or loses, the money still falls into your pocket."

    "How should I put it? The more this happens, the more worried I am!" Lei Juekun sighed and said: "The current development of Xinyi City is beginning to be out of my control, if it were not for an alliance with you. I don't know which direction the situation will take.  develop."

    "If we divide for a long time, we will unite and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. This is the general trend of the world. No one can change the law. All we can do is to adapt to the development and get the maximum profit from it."

    "I noticed that you have changed a lot in the past six months. Has your mentality changed as the company has grown bigger?" Lei Juekun said with a wry smile.

    "Haha." Zhou Wen said, "That's right. I've been practicing a lot lately, and I suddenly gained a lot of life insights."

    "I don't understand you a little bit!" Lei Juekun said, "Remember to come out for morning tea tomorrow. I'll close the line first."

    After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wen walked out of the study and saw Zhong Chuhong sitting in front of the TV watching a cooking show, "We have one of the best chefs in Hong Kong at home. Why are you still watching these shows? If dad finds out  I will inevitably scold you."

    Zhong Chuhong stretched and said with a sweet smile: "No way, this is the extracurricular homework assigned by Uncle Zhou for me, asking me to learn some new cuisines from TV to enrich the menu of the tea restaurant. On the other hand, why don't you continue reading the planning book? Spring Festival  Have the schedule been arranged?"

    "You can't make enough money in a lifetime." Zhou Wen said with emotion: "It wasn't until the past few days that I realized the good intentions of my master back then."

    "Your master? What did Yuan Heping tell you back then?" Zhong Chuhong frowned. She always thought that Yuan Heping was Zhou Wen's master.

    Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "It's not him, I'm talking about the master who taught me kung fu."

    Zhong Chuhong suddenly realized and said: "Oh~ I remembered, he was the boxer who escaped the chaos in the mainland and smuggled to Hong Kong, right?"

    "Well, it's him, his name is Wang Xiaohu. Even though I'm very advanced in martial arts now, in his eyes I'm just a child. He not only taught me how to practice boxing, but also taught me a lot of principles of life. If I had listened to him at that time,  Maybe it¡¯s different now.¡±

    "What did he tell you?"

    "He asked me to make movies after I got to An Jin. As a result, I just became Ming Jin and entered the entertainment industry in a hurry. But when I got better and better in kung fu and understood more, I suddenly found that there was no direction ahead." Zhou Wen  He said distressedly: "I talked to Yu Yongjian, and he said that I was obsessed with boxing and started tobegin to look down on worldly affairs."

    "Ah? Youyou won't really become like this, will you?" Zhong Chuhong's beautiful eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and she was so anxious. According to Yu Yongjian, ZhouIf Wen sees through the mortal world, what is the difference between becoming a monk?

    "Uh, don't get excited, I haven't reached that point yet!" Zhou Wen hurriedly comforted the beauty in his arms, patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, in order for me to maintain enough enthusiasm and motivation, I decided to go to Hollywood to try my luck.  Maybe a change of environment and new challenges will make me look new again.¡±

    "I support!" Zhong Chuhong nodded vigorously and said, "But before that, we must get married, then travel around the world, then have at least three children, and then watch them grow up"

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s work hard tonight!¡±.

    The end of the first volume.

    The Hong Kong volume has come to an end, and I realized that the time span was too big. When I re-wrote The Grandmaster, I lost the original feeling. This is my fault. Instead of continuing intermittently, it is better to use this as a node. Maybe there will be a second Grandmaster.  Department, maybethis is the ending of the Grandmaster.  Next, I will go all out to prepare a new book.  (To be continued)
