Chapter 172 Access to the Submarine Tunnel (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  One stone stirs up waves!

  Chu Huan's propaganda campaign against "The Great Warlord" completely shattered Jiahe and Shaw's original plans.

  Among them, there is also Chi Yu who was affected, that is Wang Yu!

  The former No. 1 military student in Xiangjiang who wanted to defeat Li Xiaolong and regain his glory, this time he lost a lot at the box office of the movie "Across the World".

  In the end, Golden Harvest won the film less than two weeks after it was released, and the final box office only stayed at the amount of 470,000 Hong Kong dollars.

   Even the filming cost was not recovered. It can be said that both Jiahe and Wang Yu lost miserably this time.

  Although Golden Harvest lost, it has a good foundation. With the backing of Li Xiaolong's two previous movies, Golden Harvest can still hold on, but Wang Yu can't.

  This martial arts star failed in the box office of several films in Xiangjiang one after another, coupled with his character flaws, this made Wang Yu disappointed with the Xiangjiang market.

  Of course, Golden Harvest also began to suppress Wang Yu at this time.

  Even if you are an old courtier who founded Golden Harvest with us, even if your first movie helped the company open up the situation, you still have to sacrifice when it is time to sacrifice.

  With these factors, Wang Yu was disheartened and left Xiangjiang to develop on Taiwan Island.

  But Wang Yu also told his people that he would not just admit defeat willingly, and I will come back one day!

   This is the last sentence Wang Yu left to Xiangjiang, and then he boarded the plane to Taiwan Island.

   This is several years before the other time and place.

  Time is pulled back to the present.

  Li Hanxiang found Chu Huan the next day, and the smile on Dahei's face couldn't be concealed no matter what.

   "Young Master Huan, thank you so much for this incident."

Look, this is the benefit of this era. Chu Huan's vigorous promotion of "The Great Warlord" is actually to make this movie get a better box office, and then black and white images can get more benefits, but this is in Li Hanxiang's opinion. Well, Chu Huan did this to make a name for himself.

  In fact, after adding the black and white images, Li Hanxiang has always been on fire in his heart. It is not that he has not seen the reports in the newspapers.

   Just today there are newspapers writing about Li Hanxiang, some of which make Li Hanxiang very angry.

   "It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Li Hanxiang, who was once the number one director of Xiangjiang, has fallen so far. In order to avoid Zhang Che, he chose the newly founded film company Black and White Video."

  In the report, the grievances between Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che were also written, saying that the reason why Li Hanxiang did not join Shaw Brothers in the end was because Li Hanxiang was afraid of Zhang Che.

  The two of them used to fight in the newspapers, which was full of storms. As a result, within a few years, Li Hanxiang returned from despair in Taiwan, while Zhang Che rose to fame in Xiangjiang and became the number one director.

  The report claimed: Li Hanxiang was worried that he would be suppressed by Zhang Che after he went to Shaw Brothers, so he persuaded him and chose the black and white image of Chu Huan.

  This news is actually an announcement from Shaw Brothers, and its purpose is naturally to suppress Li Hanxiang and promote Zhang Che.

  The public opinion war has already been started by Shao Yifu.

   Fortunately, the promotion of the movie "The Great Warlord" by the black and white video had already started yesterday, otherwise, Li Hanxiang would have exploded after seeing this report.

   "Director Li, you are too polite, we are a family now, your business is our business, not to mention that the movie is also made for the company, so the company should naturally spare no effort in supporting you."

  Chu Huan continued to win over people's hearts.

  Li Hanxiang said happily: "But the company really spent so much money for me!"

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "You have to spend money to let you win this battle, not to mention that our company made money a while ago. It just so happens that this time the company also paid for your film promotion expenses!"

   Did you see, in order for you to win the war with Zhang Cheh, the company did not let the money earned from the last movie be used to make new movies to continue to earn money, but used it for you to fight the war, the company is righteous!

  Li Hanxiang's **** face turned a blush, and he said excitedly, "Young Master Huan, don't worry, I am very confident in the movie "The Great Warlord". It will definitely beat Zhang Che at the box office."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "That's right, Director Li, you should have such ambitions. This time we not only want you to defeat Zhang Che, but also let the whole Xiangjiang know that you are still the number one in Xiangjiang, Director Li." director!"

  During Chu Huan's aggressive conversation, Li Hanxiang left Chu Huan's office satisfied.

   But Chu Huan's work was not over, Hong Jinbao also came to Chu Huan's office.

  The purpose of his coming is very simple, and he has written a new script!

  Heung Kong's work efficiency has once again been demonstrated.

   Waiting until the golden age of Xiangjiang film industry, the film dared to start filming before the script was written, and it could make the film become the top ten blockbuster movie in Xiangjiang!

   "Young Master Huan, I fully absorbed the shortcomings of the previous "Dragon and Tiger Fight" in this movie script, and added more jokes, take a look!"

  After Chu Huan took over the script, he did not open it immediately, but asked Hong Jinbao, "Have you shown the script to the review department?"

  Now that the company is on the right track, Chu Huan naturally has to do things in accordance with the company's rules and regulations.

The process of forming a black-and-white video film is that the screenwriter department, director, and actors complete their own script creation, and then hand it over to the review department for review. If there is no problem with the review department, the film production process will enter the planning department .

  In addition, the company has also established a screenwriting department, and there will be many excellent scripts here in the future.

  If the film script is completed by the company's screenwriting department, then the planning department will gather the entire crew, including directors, actors, behind-the-scenes and others.

  Then the production department began to intervene, calculating the budget for the film script, assigning producers, and a series of things.

  Finally, this project will come to Fang Jianhui's desk, Fang Jianhui will sign, the company will set up a special fund, and the movie will officially start shooting!

  This process has not actually taken shape in the company. After all, black and white video is still a small company, and such a process will be simplified as much as possible.

  But after the scale of black and white images is formed, Chu Huan will have the company implement this process conscientiously.

   Sure enough, Hong Jinbao rubbed his head and smiled honestly, and said, "Forgot."

  Chu Huan didn't say much, but told him: "Just be more careful in the future!"

  After saying this, Chu Huan finally finished the script in Hong Jinbao's hands, and then Chu Huan was really surprised.

  Because the name of the movie is on the first page of the script "San De Monk and Chong Rice Six".

  Although Chu Huan has never watched this movie, he has watched some documentaries in later generations. It is recorded in the documentary that this movie is the pioneering work of Xiangjiang's witty action comedy!

But according to my memory, this movie should have been filmed by Hong Jinbao in 1977. It is only 1972 now. Without my own help. Forget it, Chu Huan couldn’t help this movie. have not seen.

  Hong Jinbao still wrote it?

   Where is the problem?

  In fact, Chu Huan still underestimated the chain reaction caused by coming to this world.

  After signing Hong Jinbao, Chu Huan has been instilling in him to shoot witty action comedy movies that are different from Li Xiaolong's style.

  Although Hong Jinbao's last movie "Dragon and Tiger Fight" achieved a good box office, the shortcomings were still noted down one by one by Hong Jinbao.

   Then there is the "San De Monk and Chong Rice Six", which was released in advance.

  Seeing that Chu Huan's expression was a bit wrong, Hong Jinbao thought that Chu Huan didn't understand something about this movie, so he quickly explained.

   "Young Master Huan, I have fully absorbed the previous experience in this movie and added a lot of funny fighting scenes. Please read the script first, and I will tell you about the action scenes later."

  Chu Huan nodded, and began to read the script. At this time, Chu Huan was no longer a script novice. Although the black and white video had only made two movies so far, Chu Huan had read no fewer than ten scripts.

"Not bad, very good!" Chu Huan gave a fairly good evaluation after reading the script. Although he knew that this movie would definitely cause a sensation in Xiangjiang, as a person who is used to big scenes, Chu Huan naturally Can't get too excited.

"In terms of action, I believe you will definitely have something innovative. Take it to the production department and come up with a budget. As for the crew, I believe you should already have your own ideas, or that sentence, the company's actors Priority!"

   Hong Jinbao saw that Chu Huan agreed to his new movie so happily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Young Master Huan, this movie will definitely surpass "Dragon and Tiger Fight"!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I believe in you!"

  In the next two days, the citizens of the entire Xiangjiang River were basically screened by the two movies "The Great Warlord" and "Young Man".

  The first film promotion battle in the history of Xiangjiang film, just started in Xiangjiang without any warning.

  For the black and white video, Li’s TV, newspapers, magazines, radio stations, bus companies and other publicity methods were used. Shaw Brothers’ promotion was always one step behind the black and white video, but they kept up.

   Especially in TV promotion, although Yifu Shao has not replaced Li Xiaohe to officially take over TVB, but according to the relationship between Yifu Shao and Li Xiaohe, TVB has basically become the exclusive promotional TV station for the movie "Youth".

  Especially now that Xiangjiang TV has just become popular, it has a different appeal to young people, and the movie "Youth" is the main campus theme.

  For young people, this movie has really attracted the attention of many people.

  Generally speaking, in terms of publicity strategy, black and white images take the lead, but in a certain field, such as the promotion of TV, Shaw Brothers has completed a corner and overtaken.

   On the day of August 2nd, the citizens of Xiangjiang were finally attracted by another thing.

   That is the Xiangjiang Submarine Tunnel, which is also known as the Hung Hom Submarine Tunnel.

  Before the completion of the subsea tunnel, Hong Kong Island, the New Territories, Kowloon Peninsula and other places could only be accessed by boat. Now the passage of the subsea tunnel means that the entire Xiangjiang River is completely connected.

   This can be seen from the soaring land prices in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay during this period.

   It can be said that the passage of the Hung Hom Submarine Tunnel is a matter of concern to the entire Hong Kong.

   On this day, those citizens who didn't have to go to work stood in front of the TV early, wanting to watch the opening ceremony of the subsea tunnel.

  On this day, ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang are concerned about the convenience brought to their lives by the passage of the subsea tunnel.

   What real estate developers see is how housing prices in the Kowloon Peninsula will rise after the passage of the subsea tunnel.

  But there are also a few people whose focus is not on this.

  These people are from the Xiangjiang film industry.

Before the opening ceremony of the subsea tunnel was held, there were already rumors that Yifu Shao used his relationship to contact the Xiangjiang Transportation Department, and he would bring Chen Guantai, Ti Lung, and Jiang Dawei, the three male protagonists of his company's movies, to participate in this event. This is a prosperous time that attracts the attention of the whole of Hong Kong.

  Everyone wanted to see how Chu Huan dealt with this matter.

   Golden Harvest!

  Zou Wenhuai was sitting on the sofa in his office, with He Guanchang and Liang Feng sitting next to him, their eyes were on the TV.

   At this time, Wireless has begun to report the history of the submarine tunnel.

   "Shao Lao Liu is probably going to steal the limelight this time!"

  Liang Feng preached angrily.

  Zou Wenhuai had come out of the box office failure of "Across the World" at this time, and sat there without changing his expression and preached: "It's not that simple!"

  Liang Feng immediately looked at Zou Wenhuai in puzzlement.

  Zou Wenhuai explained: "Through this publicity campaign, I think everyone has understood one thing. Chu Huan is not a simple person, and he must not be underestimated just because of his age."

   It's not just that you shouldn't underestimate it. If it wasn't for Zou Wenhuai's reminder now, in the hearts of these people, Chu Huan would already be an old man who has been in the mall for a long time.

   "Since Shao Lao Liu's plan has already been reported, how could Chu Huan have no idea to deal with it!"

He Guanchang asked somewhat incomprehensibly: "But what can Chu Huan do? Although he is now rich and well-known in Xiangjiang, he is still far behind someone like Shao Laoliu. Yes, this matter is led by the Transportation Department, Chu Huan can't make any trouble here!"

   Even Zou Wenhuai is very envious of Shao Yifu's connections in Xiangjiang.

   Take it all up and down!

Hearing what He Guanchang said now, Zou Wenhuai also nodded in agreement and said: "Chu Huan can't compare Shao Lao Liu's connections, but I always have a feeling that Chu Huan must make something happen today Yes, if not, then he wouldn't be Chu Huan."

Liang Feng thought for a while, and said: "Actually, I also have this feeling. Let's take "Across the World" as an example. Chu Huan didn't start early or late, but he chose the day when "Across the World" was officially released. Let's start the propaganda. If he said that he didn't mean to target us, I would never believe it.

Although the relationship between Chu Huan and Shao Laoliu is unclear now, it is undeniable that the two parties are still in a competitive relationship, and now they are catching up with the movie "Young Man" and "The Great Warlord" at the same time release.

  Chu Huan will definitely make a move! "

  He Guanchang said: "I don't think Chu Huan can't move, I mean what moves can Chu Huan make?"

   "If we can guess, maybe we can have a better coping strategy when we fight Chu Huan again in the future."

  Hearing He Guanchang's analysis, Liang Feng stopped talking. In this battle alone, Liang Feng had been beaten by Chu Huan to the point of losing confidence.

   It was Zou Wenhuai who spoke first: "Wait a minute, we'll find out in another hour."

  Luo Wei was also sitting in his home watching TV at this time, and next to him was sitting Wang Yu who was about to leave Xiangjiang.

  The relationship between the two has always been good, and they have cooperated before.

   "Ayu, have you really decided to go to Taiwan?"

  The opening ceremony has not officially started yet, Luo Wei is also watching TV while chatting with Wang Yu.

Wang Yu nodded and said: "That's right, on Xiangjiang's side, Zou Wenhuai was ungrateful, forgot who founded Golden Harvest with him who had nothing, and forgot who helped him open Golden Harvest. If it weren't for me If so, what is Jiahe?

  It's good now, in order to drive me away, I even came up with a way to make my company's movies hit the street. "

  People like Wang Yu don’t think they can’t do it. Even if everyone says his movies can’t keep up with the current audience’s aesthetics, Wang Yu still thinks his movies are the best.

   It is these people who want to harm me.

   Never sum up your own shortcomings.

With the sharp drop in the box office of "Across the World", Golden Harvest is also rapidly reducing the number of theaters where it will be screened. This kind of behavior makes Wang Yu very dissatisfied. I have already approached Zou Wenhuai before and asked him to increase publicity Not only did Zou Wenhuai not follow his own words.

   It even reduced the number of theaters where it was shown.

   This is clearly going to kill the donkey!

   That's right, Wang Yu thought so.

   Regarding Zou Wenhuai's complaints, Luo Wei didn't dare to answer. After all, Wang Yu can still make a living in Taiwan and Island after leaving Xiangjiang, but he can't do it. He still has to work hard in the land of Xiangjiang.

  He can't offend Jiahe.

   "Chu Huan is all to blame for this incident. If it weren't for him, "Across the World" would have been a huge success at the box office."

  Wang Yu nodded and said, "So today I'm here to see what happened to Chu Huan."

Luo Wei sighed and said: "Shao Yifu deserves to be an old gentleman in the film industry. Although Chu Huan took the lead in instituting this publicity war, as long as there is today's scene, Shaw Brothers' "Young Man" is bound to make people feel happy. The whole Xiangjiang knows about it."

"Hmph, Yifu Shao is not a good person, lonely ghost, how much money I made for him in Shao's back then, he gave me a little bit. If he was more generous, I would not have left Zou Wenhuai back then." gone."

  Wang Yu pointed his gun at Shao Yifu again.

  Now Wang Yu is at the stage where he is not happy to see anyone, and feels that everyone owes him.

  Luo Wei said without distraction: "Sooner or later, these people will regret for missing you."

  Wang Yu liked to hear such words, and said: "Yes, they will regret it sooner or later."

   Jiahu Building!

   Although Chu Tianxiao, Chu Ran, Chen Xiao and others are not from the film industry, their opponent is Chu Huan, so they are also very concerned about this matter now.

   What's more, now that Chu Tianxiao has put the company's focus on real estate, the passage of the undersea tunnel is also a very important thing for him.

   "Shao Yifu really spent a lot of money. For the release of a movie, he used such a large network of contacts."

  Chu Ran leaned on the chair, held a wine glass in one hand, watched the situation on TV, and preached easily.

   Chen Xiao echoed: "A film company, what they want is exposure. It is understandable for Shao Yifu to do such a behavior. After all, the whole Xiangjiang is paying attention to this matter at this time."

  Chu Ran looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "By the way, I asked you to inquire about how much Chu Huan spent on this promotion two days ago. Has the investigation been clear?"

  Chen Xiao said: "The investigation has been clear, at least 350,000!"

  Chu Ran clicked his tongue and said: "You really dare to spend money, the promotion of a movie has caught up with the cost of shooting a movie!"

Chu Tianxiao said at this time: "He has nothing to do. The movie "The Great Warlord" is the most important movie of their company this year. He will let black and white images have the right to speak in the film industry of Xiangjiang. It depends on this movie, and there is no other way without spending money to promote it!"

Chu Ran said proudly: "Flow it, after a while, Chu Huan will know how stupid his current behavior is, and when we issue new shares next time, I want to see what else Chu Huan will take Come buy it!"

  Chu Tianxiao's strategy for dealing with Chu Huan has not changed, which is to consume all the cash that Chu Huan can take out as much as possible.

   When Chu Huan no longer has cash in his hands, it is time for Chu Tianxiao to really deal with Chu Huan.

"Don't be too careless. Now that the movie "The Great Warlord" has already gained a lot of fame in Xiangjiang, there must be many people who are eager to see it. If the box office of this movie is a big hit, we will The plan has no effect.”

  Chu Tianxiao still preached carefully.

  Chu Ran said indifferently: "Daddy, didn't you tell me before, always follow in the footsteps of successful people.

   During this period of time, I also studied Xiangjiang's film industry. Although Golden Harvest came out to make trouble, Shaw Brothers is the boss of Xiangjiang's film industry.

  Zhang Che is now the number one director of commercial films in Hong Kong, and this time the three best actors under him will star in his film.

   As for Li Hanxiang?

  Lian Po is old, and he came back in despair on Taiwan Island. He is no longer the same as before. He can't be Zhang Che's opponent, and he also arrogantly recruited newcomers?

  Now how hard Chu Huan is promoting this movie, how much criticism will be received when the movie is released.

   Even I thought this movie would have angry fans smashing up their theaters when it had a midnight screening! "

Seeing Chu Ran's complacent look, Chen Xiao flattered Chu Ran first: "It seems that Ran Shao has indeed done sufficient research on Xiangjiang's film industry, and it is estimated that even if Ran Shao is given a film company now, Ran Shao can easily It's done."

   "That's up to you!?"

  Chu Ran became more and more proud.

  Chen Xiao didn't care about Chu Ran's attitude, and continued to speak: "But there is one thing, I'm still a little worried."

  Chu Tianxiao and Chu Ran looked at Chen Xiao, and Chu Tianxiao even asked, "What are you worried about?"

Chen Xiao said: "This Chu Huan, we have not fought against him once or twice. We thought we were sure of Chu Huan a few times before, but in the end Chu Huan ran away. I am worried that Shao Yifu and the others will fight this time." will have the same problems as us.”

   Speaking of this, Chen Xiao looked at Chu Tianxiao worriedly and said: "Chairman, after all, Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai have already been defeated by Guo Chu Huan before."

  Hearing Chen Xiao's analysis, Chu Tianxiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, what Chen Xiao said was indeed reasonable.

   This is not the first time they lost to Chu Huan.

  Shao Yifu and the others are also not the first time!

   After pondering for a moment, Chu Tianxiao suddenly looked at Chu Ran and asked, "What did you just say?"

  Chu Ran froze for a moment, and asked, "What did I say?"

  Chu Tianxiao said: "What did you say you were taking care of?"

   "Ah, this, I mean, I'm worried that some fans will smash their theaters when the movie "The Warlord" holds a midnight screening!"

  Chu Ran preached indifferently.

  Chu Tianxiao suddenly smiled, and said: "That's right, that's the sentence. If an unhappy movie fan smashed his theater that day, how will the Hong Kong media report it?"

  Chu Ran, Chen Xiao suddenly understood what Chu Tianxiao meant, and Chu Ran showed an even more excited expression.

  Chu Tianxiao said with a smile: "It happens that Chu Huan's association in Xiangjiang is not without enemies!"

  The opening ceremony of the Submarine Tunnel!

  Many people have come to the scene, they are all those who came to watch spontaneously, reporters from TV stations, newspapers, and magazines have also come to the scene, the place is already crowded with people.

   Not far from here, a light yellow Mercedes-Benz is parked there, and two people in the car are watching the situation here from afar.

   "A Huan, Mr. Shao hasn't come here yet!"

  The person speaking is the real owner of Lisheng Cinema, Lei Juehua.

And Chu Huan sat next to Lei Juehua, and said with a smile: "That's for sure, Mr. Shao's status is so special, even if he doesn't make an appearance at the finale, he will appear with the director of the Transport Department. "

  Lei Juehua laughed and said, "Now I think many people are waiting to see your jokes, right?"

  Chu Huan spread his arms and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them."

  Lei Juehua smiled and said, "So I want to congratulate you in advance?"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I would also like to wish Lei Sheng that with the passage of the undersea tunnel, Kowloon buses will no longer be limited to the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories from now on, and Hong Kong Island will also become a battlefield for Kowloon buses."

  The passage of the subsea tunnel will have an all-round impact on Xiangjiang.

  In the past, Kowloon buses could only do business in the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories because they were separated by a sea.

  But with the passage of the undersea tunnel, the two Hong Kong bus companies no longer have a clear distinction.

   It's just this kind of thing. Except for the management of the two bus companies, no one else has noticed it.

   After all, everyone has ideas that are more in line with their own interests.

   Following the chat between Chu Huan and Lei Juehua, the opening ceremony over there is about to begin, and Shao Yifu finally appeared!

   Not today, thank you everyone~
