Chapter 61: The January Box Office War (Part 2)

The box office war between "Eight Stars" and "Best Partner" has been escalating, and the newspapers in Hong Kong have also split into two camps. The newspapers who are pro-Eight Stars" naturally praise the wonderfulness of "Eight Stars" and are also desperately criticizing "Best Partner". The newspapers who are pro-Eight Stars" are also criticizing "Eight Stars" while also criticizing "Eight Stars". Both sides are constantly fighting in the newspapers, and they are excited.

Fortunately, both Shao Daheng and Boss Zou were not as angry as before, and they just let their subordinates quarrel in the newspaper. If it were before, according to Wang Jing, Zhao Yazhi and others, it would have been a slap in both sides and directly performed a full martial arts at the door of each other's cinema. This time, although "Eight Stars News" completely overwhelmed "Best Partner" on the sixth day, the boss Zou at Jiahe Theater did not perform a full martial arts method, but followed Lin Wei and started a movie with prizes. Although the box office of this event increased by "Best Partner", it was powerless to make the situation come true.

The box office of "Eight Stars" was full to the tenth day, and the box office on the eleventh day finally began to decline. However, at this time, the box office of "Eight Stars" had exceeded 20 million, reaching more than 23 million, which was more than 9 million more than the second part of "Best Partner". It can be said that Shaw Cinemas joined hands with the Golden Princess Cinemas, completely overwhelming the Jiahe Cinemas with the number of theaters.

"Boss..." A supervisor of Jiahe Cinema looked at the silent Boss Zou and shouted carefully.

"Well...what's the matter?" Boss Zou put down the box office report of the two movies in his hand and threw it on his desk.

"Boss, do you still have to continue to promote your best partner?" the supervisor asked carefully.

"No need... We lost this time, but it was not because of the number of theaters, but because of the quality of the movies. The eight-star news from Times Film Company is really exciting. I have to say that the director Lin from Times Film Company is indeed a very talented person. It is impossible not to admit it. Lu Xiaoming, let those people stop the promotional matters."

On the twelfth day, more than a dozen newspapers of different sizes in Xiangjiang were already being scolded fiercely. One party suddenly stopped, and the other party also stopped. Both Shao Daheng and Lei Jue-shen, who won the victory, did not feel excited after the victory, nor did they intend to continue to talk to Jiahe Theater in the newspaper. After all, these are two companies, no, to be precise, the three companies (Shaw Brothers, Princess Jin, Times) have achieved results. There is really nothing to be proud of. Moreover, the real big winner is Times Film Company, not Princess Jin and Shaw Brothers. In the words of Shao Daheng, Shao Yihua, said: "This time, the real winner is his time. Although our Shaw Brothers theaters have good returns this time, it has no help to Shaw Brothers Film."

The box office of "Eight Stars" is growing step by step. It is about to break through the 3,000 mark. Wang Jing was so envious of Lin Wei in his heart. This is a box office of 30 million. The first box office movie in Xiangjiang's history is the first 30 million box office movie, and Lin Wei is about to become the only director of Xiangjiang now. As a director, Wang Jing, how can he not envy it?

The first "Oriental Daily" reported Lin Wei with the title "The Genius Young Director, the First 30 Million Director of Xiangjiang": "Just yesterday night, the first 30 Million Box Office of Xiangjiang was born. This movie called the Eight-Star Announcement has allowed us to see the strong rise of Xiangjiang movies and also let us see the birth of a genius boy... As we all know, the vigorous development of our Xiangjiang movies in recent years, good movies and excellent directors have continued to appear, creating a great situation for our Xiangjiang now. In this starlight, a new star has risen strongly. He is Lin Wei, the director of the Eight-Star Announcement of the Movie, a young genius who is only fifteen years old..."

With the report of the Oriental Daily, other newspapers also reported on Lin Wei, and even Ming Pao also made a positive report on Lin Wei. "The history of the development of Times Film Company can let us see the growth history of a genius. In the past, few people may have noticed who the screenwriter of a movie was, so few people realized the importance of a good screenwriter to a movie. The author recently checked several movies released by Times Film Company and found a very strange phenomenon, that is, the screenwriter of the movies released by Times Film Company are all the same person. It can be said that this person's script supports the development of a film company. This person is Lin Wei, the 30 million box office director Lin Wei, a fifteen-year-old boy, a genius boy..."

Lin Wei, who has always been very low-key, suddenly became a celebrity this time, and Times Film Company also let many people in Xiangjiang know its existence. Although it is not well-known in Xiangjiang like Shaw Brothers and Jiahe, it is already vaguely the third largest film company in Xiangjiang in the entertainment industry. Taking advantage of this momentum, Times Film Company signed Liang Chaowei.

Liang Chaowei has always been unable to make up his mind. After all, the wireless signboard is too big, and Times Film Company was not very imposing enough at that time. Now, Times Film Company has become a famous film company in Xiangjiang. Liang Chaowei is naturally moved. There are actually many unfamous artists who are as tempted as him. However, Times Film Company will not accept people at will. People who are not famous in the future will not accept them. For those who are like Li Lizhen, it is also because she is a beauty. If she is a man, Lin Wei will not sign her casually. From this point of view, Lin Wei is a bit fond of her.

The second part of "Eight Stars News" and "Best Partner" are still being released, but the Spring Festival in 1983 has arrived. At this time, Lin Wei was busier than usual. He had to summarize the 1982 year and plan for 1983 year. In general, 1982 is a bumper year. Lin Wei's assets have exceeded 100 million yuan. With money, Lin Wei is naturally not stingy with his employees and gave all the employees a red envelope, including Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Zhong Chuhong, and Mi Yu... They all received a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, and everyone was very happy for a while.

Before New Year's Eve, Wu Hailong and Wu Haiyan flew over from the United States. Lin Wei also took Wu Chengxin and Su Lingyue over. The family was spending New Year's Eve together. The next day, Lin Wei was planning to go out to greet people. But after wave after wave, they came to greet him. Liu Bingjin's family, Chen Yijing's family, Wang Jing, and the supervisor-level personnel in various companies.

In addition to these personnel, the artists in the company, Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, and Zhang Guorong, also came to pay New Year's greetings. Lin Wei was unable to go out on the first and second days of the first and second days of the first and second days, and only paid New Year's greetings to Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Huimin, and Wen Bixia who lived in a villa community. On the fifth day of the day, Wu Hailong and Wu Haiyan flew back to the United States. Su Lingyue and Wu Chengxin took their youngest daughter back to the mainland. They had not seen their youngest daughter Wu Haiyan for several months, so naturally they wanted to stay together for a while.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, what surprised Lin Wei was that Li Zhi actually came to pay New Year's greetings to him. Over the past year, Li Zhi also went to the United States to study according to the arrangements given by Lin Wei. This time she came back for the New Year, and all her expenses in the United States were given by Lin Wei. So, she felt that since she was back in Xiangjiang, she would have to go to Lin Wei's place no matter what.

In fact, Lin Wei has almost forgotten Li Zhi behind her. He likes her beauty, but it is not necessary to say that he loves her. Otherwise, if he doesn't see her for a year, he wouldn't have forgotten her. When he saw Li Zhi again, he found that this woman was getting more and more beautiful. She had wavy curly hair and was probably wearing a famous American brand. It made her look very sexy. The two of them got together alone, which made Lin Wei, who had broken the quarrel, feel a little itchy. However, without waiting for him to take any action, Zhao Yazhi ran over, and Lin Wei had to be a good person seriously.

During this period, Zhao Yazhi did not take on filming and television jobs, so she was relatively leisurely. The place she lives now was only 40 meters away from Lin Wei's villa. Seeing a beautiful woman running into Lin Wei's home, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but run over.
