Rebirth: Becoming a Tycoon from Hong Kong in 1977

“Unexpectedly, she is still a sentimental young woman.”

Song Tianyao leaned back on the sofa comfortably, and sighed with some tears and laughter.

After carefully inquiring about the reception staff the day before yesterday to exchange the information he learned, he roughly deduced and finally came to this conclusion.

Although it is a bit arbitrary, there is too little pre-information, and only such speculation is in line with the reason why Jin Siqi has changed her style of acting in the past.

“It’s kind of interesting.”

Song Tianyao took a sip of tea and said with a shallow smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Tuk Tuk Tuk~”

“Come in.”

Hearing a slight knock on the door, Song Tianyao shouted casually, saw Yan Xuehai push open the door and come in, holding a document in his hand, and asked, “Manager Yan, what’s the matter?” ”

Without waiting for Yan Xuehai to answer, Song Tianyao casually poured a cup of tea and smiled: “Sit down, drink a cup of tea.” ”

“Thank you.”

Yan Xuehai was flattered, hurriedly took it with both hands, drank it, and said respectfully with a half-bow: “Chairman, I’ll make tea.” ”

“No need, don’t cling to these false courtesies, say, what’s the matter to find me? Work matters. ”

Song Tianyao waved his hand and said with a smile.

“Yes.”

Yan Xuehai nodded, opened the document and said seriously: “Chairman, there is news from the production department. ”

“Happy ghost this film, director Du Qifeng has been filmed, the first version of the finished film has also been edited, I want you to take a look, by the way to give some guidance.”

“No need, professional things professionals to do, such a simple movie, I believe in Director Du’s strength, let him watch and do it himself.”

Song Tianyao waved his hand and refused.

The total investment is only 2 million Hong Kong dollars, so there is no need to spend time to look at it.

And the technical requirements of this film are not high.

As long as the director who has learned to shoot in the Eight Classics system, he will not shoot too badly.

Du Qifeng, who studied under Wang Tianlin, if he couldn’t even shoot this well, he wouldn’t be able to make such a big name in the future.

If something really went wrong, he would have to wonder if Du Qifeng had been replaced. Just kidding.

However, Song Tianyao was still a little surprised in his heart.

Wang Whale is a fast gunner, and there is no need to question the question of making a movie quickly, he thinks about it.

I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Du Qifeng was not bad.

Happy Ghost was filmed for less than a month.

And the dubbing, special effects have been done, and now even the first version of the finished film has been edited.

Sure enough, it is worthy of being a teacher out of the same house.

It’s all about speed, and it’s all about being a fast gunner.

“Okay, Chairman, I’ll convey your meaning to the production department.”

Yan Xuehai nodded, took a pen and recorded it on paper, and then asked: “Chairman, since there is no problem with the finished film, when will this movie start to be released.” ”

“Summer vacation is not coming, it just so happens that this movie focuses on youth comedy, so let’s release it on July 1st.”

Song Tianyao thought about it and gave an exact time, which he still had to determine.

“Chairman, the summer vacation is a good schedule, but there is also news from Jiahe, saying that the alien warrior shooting has been completed, it has been finalized, and it will also be released on July 1st, and now it seems that the posters have been produced.”

“Look, are we going to avoid a little?”

Yan Xuehai suggested.

“No, it will be released on July 1st, two different types of movies, the audience will not coincide at all, the theater is not in the same place, he put his, let’s release ours, it does not affect.”

Song Tianyao clapped with a smile.

He knew what Yan Xuehai was worried about.

After all, Jiahe’s alien warrior invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and Happy Ghost’s declared investment was only 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

You can’t win by looking at it.

Avoiding schedules and not causing conflict is the best solution.

Even if the themes are different, the theaters of the two companies also show their own movies, which is reasonable to say that they will not divide too much of the box office.

But that’s certainly not the case.

There are so many citizens on Hong Kong Island who have the habit of watching movies, and a movie explosion is bound to affect the attendance of other films.

Just like after the Predator fire before, Jiahe’s theaters are a lot deserted.

However, Song Tianyao still made the decision to release it at the same time.

It’s not arrogant enough to think that Jiahe’s Predator is doomed to failure.

After all, Jiahe is also a veteran production company, with talented and powerful directors such as Wu Yushen and Xu Guanmin.

Even Hong Jianbao can barely be counted as a director now. There are also a lot of good actors under its umbrella.

It will not shoot some unbearable bad movies. However, he made this decision anyway

It’s not to fight Jiahe, it’s just that I have confidence in the movie Happy Ghost.

Of course, it was just in time to meet the same schedule.

In the end, who dies and who presses whom, this can be said.

“Chairman, I see.”

Yan Xuehai nodded in a notebook with a sense of understanding.

What do you understand? Just understand?

Looking at Yan Xuehai’s appearance of enlightenment, what is this brain supplement?

Too lazy to explore, Song Tianyao shook his head and took a sip of tea and asked, “Is there anything else I need to deal with?” ”

“Yes, I heard that Jiahe’s propaganda strategy for alien warriors is not much different from our previous ones.”

“Now that there is still a week before the summer vacation, how can the happy ghost publicize? Is it still the same as before? ”

Yan Xuehai asked seriously.

“Chairman Jiahe likes to parrot, let him go, don’t be affected.”

Song Tianyao shook his head disdainfully, and then said: “The investment of the happy ghost is only four million Hong Kong dollars, this time there is no need for vigorous publicity, as long as the time comes to direct release, but the poster has to be done, these days at the door of the theater, let the audience familiarize themselves.” ”

Although Yan Xuehai knows the real investment amount of Happy Ghost, after all, as the general manager of the theater line, it is impossible to avoid imagining the box office.

But the two still have a tacit understanding, and have always talked about the cost of external claims.

It is to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

In fact, the Predator’s previous vigorous publicity was just to make the name of Song’s Pictures.

By the way, let the citizens of Hong Kong Island adapt to the merged and reorganized Song’s Cinema Line to give a buffer.

Now that you have a reputation, you naturally don’t need to spend a lot of time on publicity. Not to mention the happy ghost whose real cost is only two million Hong Kong dollars.

The films broadcast by Song’s Cinemas during this period were all shot by relatively small independent production companies on Hong Kong Island.

Because Song Tianyao changed the long-standing theater guarantee system and changed the red system.

The willingness of Hong Kong Island’s independent production companies to release the film in Song’s theaters is still very large.

And this also brings considerable profits to Starry Sky Culture. At the same time, it also eliminates the embarrassing situation of insufficient film sources for the company. It can also be regarded as stabilizing the audience lost after the merger.

With the previous Predator’s boutique production template in front.

Song Tianyao believes that as long as the poster is played, let the audience know that Song’s Pictures has released a new work, and there is no need for additional publicity.

And as long as the happy ghost is a big success.

A subconscious thought gradually formed in the hearts of Hong Kong Island citizens: the movies produced by Song’s Pictures must be high-quality.

I believe that in the future, Song’s Film will also have a group of loyal fans.

At that time, as long as the news of shooting a new work was released, there would be no audience expectations.

At the same time, under the virtuous circle, outstanding actors on Hong Kong Island will also have greater willingness to join Song’s Pictures.

One plus one is more than two.

However, forming such a result is not something that can be done in one or two movies.

At least slowly change, inertia is the most terrible.

No hurry, Song Tianyao believes that as long as he waits for the release of Indiana Jones, such a situation will inevitably form.

“Okay, Chairman.”

Yan Xuehai naturally would not have a different opinion.

In his opinion, Happy Ghost invests so little, there is really no need to spend great efforts to publicize.

And it’s also a comedy movie, there is a risk of loss, it is better to spend less money.

Hey~, how do you feel a little awkward?

Yan Xuehai’s eyes suddenly widened, thinking that in the past, if a production company on Hong Kong Island announced that it would invest four million Hong Kong dollars to shoot a movie, it would be a big production.

The media will definitely rush to report it, and it will definitely boost the expectations of the audience on Hong Kong Island. Although he knew that the real cost was only two million Hong Kong dollars, two million was not much.

How do you do it now? It also gives people the feeling of a bad movie.

Where does this delusion come from? When did this subconscious illusion begin?

After thinking about it, Yan Xuehai came to a conclusion.

His own chairman has single-handedly raised the expectations of Hong Kong Island citizens. 200 million Hong Kong dollars to produce a blockbuster, don’t care if it’s true or not, at least the advertisement is out, there is no precedent.

Recording the chairman’s request in his notebook, Yan Xuehai flipped the document in his hand and continued: “Chairman, there is news from Director Wang Whale, saying that the funds of the first phase of Raiders of the Lost Ark ’60 million’ have been almost used, and now the second amount of funds has been passed?” ”
