377 【Crash】

Xia Tian and Chen Yixin entered the Fulinmen Restaurant with him. Then, led by the waiter to the private room, he saw Li Guoxing waiting inside.

"Mr. Li, it's been a long time since we met!" Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Mr. Xia, long time no see, the business is getting bigger and bigger." Li Guoxing also smiled admiringly.

When he met Xia Tian, ​​Xia Tian's strength was at most equivalent to Wu Siyuan, Luo Wei, and Deng Guangrong. However, after only a few months, Xia Tian had grown into a movie tycoon who could compete with Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai. This speed of rise was too amazing, which made him feel a little unbelievable.

"Mr. Li, you are polite. I couldn't rent Shaw Brothers theaters if it wasn't your copyright fee of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so I have to thank you for your help." Xia Tian smiled.

At the beginning, he rented the four leading theaters from Shaw Brothers by using the copyright fees for Li Guoxing to buy three movies, "The Zombie Family", "Mr. Zombie" and "Detective Chocolate", and since then he has become one of the overlords of the Hong Kong film industry.

Otherwise, even if he is rich now, he still cannot be called the overlord of the film industry because he does not have theaters, and he will still be strangled by others.

"Mr. Xia, you're polite." Li Guoxing said with a smile.

Although his money did help Xia Tian, ​​Li Guoxing did not think that Xia Tian could not develop without his money. At best, he only gave him a help, but being able to fully utilize this help is thanks to Xia Tian's own ability.

Otherwise, there are not many filmmakers in Hong Kong who can raise 70 million, but not everyone can dare to rent the four cinemas like summer.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, they sat together, and then all kinds of delicious dishes were presented one after another.

Xia Tian and Chen Yixin were not Wu Xia Amon. For them, no matter how delicious they are, they are just a little bit more. It is still important to talk about the important things.

Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, Xia Tian smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are right to go straight to the point. Is it for the distribution rights of "Best Bad Friends"?"

"Mr. Xia is really happy, good!" Li Guoxing smiled, "I am very interested in this movie. Can Mr. Xia consider transferring it to me?"

Xia Tian smiled and took a puff of cigarette, "Okay, how much does Mr. Li offer?"

"Two two million Hong Kong dollars." Li Guoxing hesitated for a moment, and then quoted.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Two three million, this movie belongs to you. I will hand over the right to distribute the video tape to you, and it will still be divided into four or six."

Li Guoxing thought about it, "Okay, that's it."

"That's fine, have a happy cooperation, cheers!" Xia Tian smiled.

"It's great to do business with Mr. Xia." Li Guoxing also smiled.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for the praise. By the way, my "Heroic Reality" is about to be released. Mr. Li still remembers your agreement?" Xia Tian asked with a smile.

Li Guoxing was stunned and nodded.

He had a bet with Xia Tian before, betting whether the box office of "The True Heroes" could exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars. If he could pass, he would transfer 30% of his shares in Meiya Entertainment to Xia Tian; if he could not pass, Xia Tian would transfer 30% of his shares in Tianxia Pictures to him.

"I hope our agreement will still be effective." Xia Tian smiled again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, businessmen pay attention to integrity, and I will not break my promise." Li Guoxing smiled, "Mr. Xia, I hope you don't regret it either."

Judging from the current situation, Xia Tianxia Pictures is much stronger than its Meiya Entertainment. To be honest, if it invests in the shares, Xia Tian’s company will obviously have more investment value, so he is worried that Xia Tian will lose and lose money.

Even if Xia Tian wins, with him investing in his own company, his cooperation with him will be closer. In the future, any good movies can be handed over to himself to publish, and of course I will not suffer any losses.

"That's good. Mr. Li is relieved. I have the same philosophy as you, and I also pay attention to integrity." Xia Tian smiled.

...

After dinner, on the way back, Chen Yixin asked Xia Tian curiously, "Brother Tian, ​​what agreement do you have with him?"

"I bet with him, can the box office of the movie "The True Heroes" exceed 30 million?" Xia Tian smiled and told his bet with Li Guoxing.

"Ah?!" Chen Yixin was startled, "Brother Tian, ​​it's too risky. If its box office is less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, wouldn't the company bring wolves into the house?"

"Of course I have confidence in it." Xia Tian smiled.

"Oh, I understand. You plan to keep the movie on display no matter how big it is or not, and it will last until it has a box office of over 30 million Hong Kong dollars, right?" Chen Yixin's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a slutty smile.

"Nonsense, how could I use such despicable means? If it is spread, who dares to do business with me in the future?" Xia Tian scolded, "I really have confidence in that movie."

"No, Brother Tian, ​​that movie has neither a star lineup nor a director is also an outdated Wu Yusen. How could you be so confident in him?" Chen Yixin asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Salted fish have times to turn over, let alone living people. You must remember that you should never underestimate the potential of anyone." Xia Tian Zhizhi said.

"Oh." Chen Yixin nodded.

Xia Tian saw that he was still half-believing and didn't explain it anymore. Anyway, "The True Color of Heroes" will be released in another week. At that time, it will be clear whether it is a dragon or a worm at first sight.

...

"What? Jiahe's "Dragon Heart" will be released at the same time as us?" The next day, Xia Tian called Cen Jianxun and asked him to help arrange the release of "The True Heroes" and got bad news.

"Yes, Brother Tian, ​​Jiahe is preparing to release "Dragon Heart" at the same time." Chen Yixin nodded, and he was also shocked when he heard the news.

Because he knew that Xia Tian had high hopes for the movie "The True Heroes", hoping that it could exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars, so that he could invest in Meiya Entertainment Company and have a distribution channel in Nanyang.

But unfortunately, Jiahe is going to release "The Heart of Dragon". This movie is a blockbuster starring Hong Jingbao and Cheng Long, and the Cheng Family Class and the Hong Family Class. It is said that Hong Jingbao also challenges acting skills and plays a mentally retarded child in the film, which makes the audience feel curious and therefore attracts great attention.

"The True Heroes" was released at the same time as this movie, but it was not broken by others. Even though this movie could have received more than 10 million box office, it would be good if it was hit by this fierce film and finally it could have a box office of millions.

"Damn it, how did they think of this movie at this time?" Xia Tian naturally knew what the consequences would be if the two blockbuster movies were released at the same time. That was, the two tigers fought and either died or were injured.

"Because there are no blockbusters during this period. The New Art City screened "Flying Tigers and Ark", and we screened "The True Color of Heroes", which is not considered a masterpiece in others' eyes. Of course, they want to take this opportunity to release it and make more money." Chen Yixin explained.

"..." Xia Tian was speechless after hearing this.

That's right! Apart from himself, no one in Hong Kong thinks how popular the movie "The True Hero" will be. In their opinion, this movie is just a weak chicken, neither big stars nor big directors, and it is a real low-cost movie that collapses as soon as it goes. No wonder Jiahe chose to release "The Heart of Dragons" at this time. If he doesn't know the background of "The True Hero", he will make the same choice as Jiahe.

"Brother Tian, ​​what should I do? I'll just postpone the screening." Chen Yixin suggested.

Take advantage of the edge, retreat, and wait until "Dragon Heart" is released before being screened, so that it can be safer.

"No, our publicity is already done. If we postpone it at this time, it will make us feel guilty." Xia Tian flatly refused, "The strong one will win when we meet on a narrow road! I have confidence in "The True Color of Heroes". In this way, don't delay the release of righteousness, we will release it in advance!"

"Released early?" Chen Yixin was stunned.

"Not bad, it will be released in advance!" Xia Tian said with a smile.

"The True Color of Heroes" will be released before "The Heart of Dragon". Then its good reputation will ferment in advance. At that time, because of herd mentality, the audience will first look at "The True Color of Heroes" with a higher reputation.

This is called one step ahead, one step ahead!!

"Okay, I'll go and tell Cen Jianxun that he can make arrangements quickly." Chen Yixin said.

Xia Tian nodded, "By the way, the midnight show was cancelled."

"Cancel midnight show?! Why?" Chen Yixin said in surprise. You should know that midnight show trial is a great opportunity to promote the movie. If it is really a rare good movie, relying on the word-of-mouth reputation of the audience, it can bring extremely high box office to this movie.

Since Xia Tian attaches so much importance to "The True Color of Heroes" and hopes that it will achieve a box office of 30 million, it will not cancel the midnight trial.

"I'm afraid that this movie will be too good and will cause Jiahe's concern. If they follow suit and release it early, wouldn't it be troublesome!" Xia Tian explained.

"..." Chen Yixin was speechless for a long time and thought to himself, Brother Tian, ​​you are too confident about this movie!!!

"Just do it like this." Xia Tian hung up the phone.

Seeing that he had said so, Chen Yixin had to obey his instructions.

So the midnight show was cancelled, and the guests invited before were not required to attend. The Propaganda Department also quickly notified the media to change the promotional manuscript, and "The True Color of Heroes" would be released two days in advance. The posters posted before were immediately replaced and replaced with the latest posters... In short, because of the early release, the Propaganda Department of the World Film Industry made the Propaganda Department in a mess and in a mess, which was eye-catching.

"Haha, a weak film, even if it is released two days in advance? It will be useless if it takes so much effort and so much effort! If the movie is not good, it will be useless if it says anything!" Zou Wenhuai said to He Guanchang with a smile.
Chapter completed!
