"Why is there something dirty on my face?" Yang Dongxu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the two people. He looked at himself and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with his pants.

"I didn't expect you to be considerate of other people." Fu Decai sighed with emotion.

"Am I as bad as you say?" Yang Dongxu rolled his eyes.

Fu Chaming nodded beside him to finish off the attack, making Yang Dongxu even more speechless.

You are obviously very easy to get along with and have a very gentle temper, okay? And he is very democratic. He didn't feel that this decision was wrong until he saw Fu De. He also felt that being able to come was already taking a risk to give face. It would be unkind to force others to take sides, so did he change the decision? Where can I find such a reasonable boss?

When Yang Dongxu arrived at the cinema where the premiere was held at two o'clock in the afternoon, he did not stand at the door to greet him, although this was a bit rude. But he didn't want to reveal his identity except to those he had worked with. Besides, it’s not rude to have the general manager, Fu Decai, stand at the door to greet him.

Yang Dongxu will definitely not sit in the front row, otherwise it will not be keeping a low profile. It is obviously telling the guests that I am the big boss, but I just don't stand at the door to greet you, you are not qualified...

As expected, the number of 'guests' who came was much less than expected. Even those who came probably had to come because they were cooperating with Haina Company. Although they kept a smile on their faces, they seemed quite happy to receive the invitation. It's an honor, but only you know what you think specifically in your heart.

Fortunately, although the guests at the premiere were nervous, they did not find any farce like someone throwing rotten eggs, or smelly socks and shoes. Everyone took a quick photo before getting into the movie room.

"Why did you invest in such a movie?" Maggie Cheung, who was sitting a few rows back, pulled Yang Dongxu and whispered.

This is not only making the headlines, this is simply going to the heavens. It should have been a surprise to see that the movie Yang Dongxu invested in actually made headlines, but now it is definitely a shock.

"Is there anything wrong with investing in this movie?" Yang Dongxu blinked and asked with a smile.

"That...that...that rich manager said something a little unpleasant." Maggie Cheung didn't know how to answer for a while. As a mainlander, Yang Dongxu seemed to be investing in a movie shot by a mainlander. It seemed normal and there was no problem. So she passed the blame to Fu Decai, who had been at the front during the press conference.

If Fu Decai had heard Maggie Cheung's words, he would have vomited three liters of blood, and then yelled: "I won't bear the blame."

"It's not nice to talk." Yang Dongxu nodded seriously, as if it was serious.

Fu Decai, who was sitting in front, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill behind him.

Although not many people came, everyone who was supposed to come came. As for those who shouldn't come and those who should not come, Yang Dongxu didn't care. Anyone who knows Yang Dongxu knows his personality, so even though he saw him sitting in the back row instead of the front row, he didn't come over to bother him and nodded as a greeting. It's just that it's a bit strange to see that he and Maggie Cheung are quite familiar. I haven't heard of any cooperation between Maggie Cheung and Haina Company.

As for those who didn't know Yang Dongxu, they saw that Maggie Cheung was very familiar with him and didn't pay much attention. They thought that this 'child' was a child of Maggie Cheung's relatives and friends who brought him here to see the world. This is normal. If this press conference of Heiner Company hadn't turned the movie into a big bomb, many people would have brought some relatives and friends who want to join the industry to see if they can get some directors and investors.

When everyone was here, Fu Decai stopped talking and signaled to the people behind him that they could start playing. The originally whispered discussion in the screening room quickly became quiet. No matter what their mood was when they came, everyone was quickly attracted by the plot of the movie. attract.

To be honest, there is nothing very new in terms of the storyline. This type of story has been filmed badly for a long time. But regardless of the plot structure, this movie feels really good after watching it. Both the plot connection and the fighting scenes are extremely exciting, and the actors' performances are also very good.

If it hadn't made the headlines in the morning, this movie wouldn't be close to the top three in Hong Kong's box office this year, but it would still have a place in the top ten. But now, what was originally a good hand has been played badly by the senior management of Haina Company.

"How was it?" After the movie was shown, Yang Dongxu looked at Maggie Cheung with a little anxiety.

To be honest, the first film to be filmed was "Fist of Heroes" instead of other comedy classics. It is naturally related to Yang Dongxu's martial arts dream. Otherwise, the two consecutive films that were decided to be filmed would not have been martial arts films.

But one thing Yang Dongxu also knows is that pure martial arts movies are not the first choice in Hong Kong. Comedy is the theme of this era. However, apart from Yang Dongxu's desire to make martial arts movies, he naturally has other purposes.

"It's quite beautiful." Maggie Cheung said without thinking. Putting aside the headline incident, this movie is indeed very exciting. Especially the fight scene at the end gives people a thrilling feeling.

Not only was she present, but everyone present felt bright, but even though it was wonderful, they felt that something was always missing.

Good-looking and exciting, this is the first reaction of everyone who has watched the movie, but it depends on whether it is a masterpiece or even a classic. They were a little hesitant. After all, this kind of pure martial arts movie without comedy elements always felt a bit unsatisfying to them, who are used to the comedy style of Hong Kong movies.

After sending all the guests back, Fu De found Yang Dongxu with a frown.

"What's wrong? The movie was not made well?" Yang Dongxu's expression was still very relaxed when he saw Fu Decai's expression.

"It's not bad, the movie is definitely a good movie. Even those from the Film Association can't say this movie is trash, but this one doesn't seem to suit the appetite of Hong Kong people." Fu Decai said with a sigh.

It was Yang Dongxu's first time making a movie and he also worked as a screenwriter, director, producer and other multiple roles. The quality of the movie he produced was absolutely shocking to the Hong Kong film industry. But now the 'clamorous' publicity has made the matter so big, which makes this movie, although good, still a bit lacking in weight.

"Otherwise, what do you think I will do to ask you to hold more press conferences?" There was a hint of cunning in the smile at the corner of Yang Dongxu's mouth.

"What backup plan do you have left?" One look at Yang Dongxu's expression and Fudecai knew that this guy must be holding some bad news in his stomach.

"I know that pure martial arts movies are not as popular as comedies in Hong Kong, but the Hong Kong box office cannot be ignored after all. After all, this is the biggest hit. But you have to admit that this kind of martial arts movies are very popular overseas.

Even if it is placed in Japan, it will still sell well. You said that a movie that can sell more than 10 million box office in Hong Kong can also be a big hit overseas. Compared with a movie that can sell more than 20 million box office in Hong Kong, but has a dismal box office overseas, which one is better? is attractive. "

"It's a bit hard to say. For some celebrities, the latter is better. After all, the Hong Kong market is very important. They can make more money while gaining fame. Naturally, they will have higher votes. But in the long run, the former is better. More importantly, after all, no matter how important the Hong Kong film industry is, it is only a small place, and the sky will be broader when you go outside." Fu Decai thought carefully and said.

After he finished speaking, he reacted: "You think our movie can exceed 10 million?"

Fu De, who was originally a little worried, immediately brightened up when he heard Yang Dongxu said that the box office of the movie could exceed 10 million. Judging from the box office performance of Hong Kong in recent years, if it can exceed 10 million, it is possible even if it is just over 10 million. It entered the top ten box office movies in 1990.

Although the top ten is not the top three or the first place is a bit lacking, this answer can definitely dispel Fu Decai's worry that it is not enough. Who dares to say that the first film to be filmed has a box office of over 10 million and will be among the top ten films in Hong Kong. The company is rubbish and doesn’t know how to make movies?

"Exceeding 10 million should be no problem unless something unexpected happens." Yang Dongxu said, but he felt a little unsure. After all, the movie about him being a reborn person was filmed in advance.

Although in his impression Jet Li's martial arts movie period was the peak period of Hong Kong's martial arts movies. None of the martial arts movies in which Jet Li plays the leading role has a box office of less than 10 million, but who knows whether his reborn butterfly wings will have any impact on the box office.

"As long as it's over 10 million, I can shut up those people who have bad mouths." Fu Decai waved his fist and was instantly filled with fighting power.

A film company with a box office of over 10 million, even Golden Harvest dare not say that the box office of its movies will definitely exceed 10 million, right?

But the box office results of over 10 million yuan have not been released yet, and we don’t know whether it will be a hit overseas. Therefore, after the premiere, the major media exploded. In this era when the Internet is not yet developed, the public's evaluation of the quality of the movie, except for a few people who were interviewed at the entrance of the cinema, is on the front line of criticism. Naturally, those are film critics, popular celebrities, or film company CEOs. After all, even if you, an ordinary person, write an article, the newspaper will not publish it for you.

So there was no need to wait for the headlines in the morning newspapers the next day, the evening newspapers had already begun to cover the news overwhelmingly. The content of the report was naturally filled with negative reviews, and all film critics almost unanimously concluded that this was a bad movie and an extremely failed remake of a Bruce Lee movie.

And instigated by thoughtful people, this kind of critical attack not only attacks the movie itself, but also attacks it in a bundled way. For example, even if you say the director is bad, you actually say the actors are bad and the company is bad.

Jet Li has made so many blockbuster movies, why do you think his acting skills are not good? Sammo Hung has a certain status in the entire Hong Kong martial arts industry. Why do you say that his martial arts instructor is rubbish? Heiner Film Department only made this supplementary movie. How can you be so sure that this is a bad film company?

If the propaganda of Heiner Company was considered as clamoring before, then the criticism of these film critics now is an indiscriminate attack of their biases. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, everything related to Heiner Company is rubbish.

"How could they do this?" Fu Decai looked at the newspaper in front of him with eyes blazing, and he probably even had the intention of killing people at this time.

"What's there to be angry about? Isn't this something that was expected?" Taking the newspaper in his hand and flipping through it, Yang Dongxu sneered from the corner of his mouth: "They really spared no effort, but this proves that they are afraid."

"Are you afraid?" Fu Decai was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.

Yes, this kind of vicious attack, and everyone jumped out to attack it. In addition to refuting the previous clamor of Heiner Company, it also proved that the people in these film companies are afraid.

Otherwise, if those film critics jump out and criticize, why would these CEOs go shirtless to criticize? Wouldn't it be more powerful to wait for one's own company's movie to slap "Fist of Heroes" hard at the box office, and then say that Heiner's company is garbage? Does it make you look more anxious and assertive?

"Get ready over there. Since they are becoming shameless, we won't be polite." Yang Dongxu's eyes flashed with cold light.
