Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 387 0386 [You Cheated Me! 】

The Kowloon Theater is one of the largest theaters in the Lisheng Cinema Line under the Lui Group, with a full 1,200 seats.

Half an hour before the premiere of "Mythology", Shi Zhijian found that the attendance rate of the entire theater was less than 50%. Looking at those people again, most of them are young people, one by one, in pairs, with soda and popcorn in their hands, all attracted by the advertisements they bombarded.

In addition, there are some people who should be the financiers who participated in the drama "Myth". Because what Shi Zhijian saw on their faces was not excitement and curiosity, but nervousness.

Watching a movie can be so tense, except for investors like him, no one else.

Shi Zhijian continued to wait patiently, and after a while, another part of the audience entered the arena.

Looking outside, more viewers are debating whether to go to Shaw Brothers to watch the sequel of "The Drunk Man", or come to Golden Harvest to watch "Mythology".

If it wasn't for Shi Zhijian's overwhelming publicity this time, the premiere of "Mythology" would be a complete mess.

Ten minutes until the screening.

The attendance rate of the Kowloon Theater is less than 60%.

The Kowloon Theater is the leader of the 18-cinema joint show this time. If the attendance rate of the leading theater is so poor, it goes without saying that the attendance rate of other cinemas may be even worse.

Shi Zhijian himself was okay, but Zou Wenhuai and others sitting beside him began to feel uneasy.

"Achang, is it a bit cold today? Why do I feel chilly sitting here?" Zou Wenhuai asked He Guanchang.

He Guanchang sighed: "That's because there is no one around you."

"Yeah, where did this person go?"

...

The entrance of Shaw Brothers Cinema.

Those media reporters are all besieged here waiting to interview Shaw Brothers' play.

Only places with a lot of people are lively, and these reporters are also optimistic about Shaw Brothers' drama, so they will wait here.

Sure enough, the Shaw Brothers was crowded with people.

"Hehe, I'm afraid many viewers have come to our Shaw Brothers this time!"

Zhou Duwen stood at the entrance of the theater, with his hands behind his back, looking proudly at the stream of audience who bought tickets, and said to Fang Yihua beside him.

Fang Yihua watched the flow of people and refused to comment.

Zhou Duwen said again: "Mr. Shao really has a clever plan, knowing that when "The Drunk Man" comes out, no one will fight for it!"

"Producer Zhou, Mr. Shao is not here now, so you don't have to tell me these things." Fang Yihua's tone was light.

Zhou Duwen blushed a little when his mind was exposed.

He originally wanted to flatter Fang Yihua and let Fang Yihua blow the pillow wind over him, but he didn't expect Fang Yihua to be so ignorant.

"Director Fang, I respect you! Now Shaw Brothers is only you and I who can help Mr. Shao. You are in charge of the finances, and I am in charge of the film production. We complement each other perfectly!"

Fang Yihua said coldly: "Can you help me watch this premiere first!"

Zhou Duwen chuckled, with a look of contempt on his face: "What suspense is there in this premiere? Under Mr. Shao's wise and powerful guidance, Shi Zhijian, who hit the street, is sure to die!"

"Really?" Fang Yihua asked back.

"Of course! Look at the attendance rate? There are only a few people in Hong Kong. Our side is full, and his side is of course very good! Is it possible that Shi Zhijian can make a moth to turn the sky upside down?!" Zhou Duwen looked disdainful.

...

Shi Zhijian knew that one should not be too honest when making movies, as it was the case in previous lives, and it is also the case in this era.

So Shi Zhijian ambushed a game of "box office fraud" in advance.

It is shameful to falsify the box office, but this trick was common in the previous life, and it is still very effective. Often a lot of bad movies can fly as soon as they are fired at the box office.

What's more, Shi Zhijian doesn't think his movie is a bad movie.

Now that Shaw Brothers is not following the rules to release new films in advance to compete with him for box office traffic, Shi Zhijian has no choice but to use this tactic to deal with it.

you cheat me,

Who is afraid of whom?

...

An hour ago.

Causeway Bay Tenement House.

There were four to five hundred neighbors, both men and women, and everyone gathered around the tenement building. Some people stood directly on the stairs, full of people, looking up at Shi Yufeng standing in the corridor on the third floor.

Outside, those rickshaw drivers pulling people, and idlers who like to watch the excitement, also came over and stretched their necks to see what happened.

"Lame Phoenix, is what you said true?"

"Yeah, how can there be such a good thing in the world, we buy tickets to go to the movies, and you will reimburse us when we come back?"

The two middle-aged women sang together, looked at Shi Yufeng and said.

"A movie ticket costs at least five yuan, and there are at least 2,500 yuan for so many of us!"

"Yeah, it's not that we don't trust you, you just moved here not long ago, and we all met at the vegetable market, and we don't know each other too well, so we can't talk about feelings!"

"I'm talking about your old mother!" Shi Yufeng put her hands on her hips, looked at these male and female neighbors with a cold face, then moved her dantian, and turned her volume to the maximum.

"I'm talking about money with you, and the devil is talking about feelings with you! Talking about feelings with you guys on the street, it's not my identity, Shi Yufeng!"

"I tell you, although I, Shi Yufeng, have just arrived here, I also know that in this world, parents have rich relatives! If you want to talk about feelings with me, I will talk about your mother!"

Shi Yufeng herself has a pungent personality, and she is known as the number one cursing person in Shek Kip Mei. Since she moved to the tenement building, she thought about her status improving, so she cultivated her mind and cultivated her character and didn't swear too much.

Today, when she came out of the arena again, she couldn't help scolding her heartily, scolding these gangsters bloody.

But the strange thing is that the more these people are scolded by Shi Yufeng, the more comfortable they feel.

They all came here to take advantage of it. I heard that as long as they went to the designated movie theater tonight, Shi Yufeng would reimburse the movie tickets, and they would also give away eggs, sesame oil, and bags of salt afterwards.

If Shi Yufeng treats them carefully and politely, they will be suspicious instead, and now they feel right after being scolded.

To put it bluntly, many people are so cheap in their bones.

After yelling and venting, Shi Yufeng only felt refreshed. How long have you been holding it back? If you can't open your mouth to swear, you will almost get sick.

Seeing the dense crowd downstairs all looking up at her, Shi Yufeng felt a sense of accomplishment in Mu Guiying's breakthrough.

With one hand on her hips, she pointed to the street below, "I'll just say it for the last time! Kowloon Cinema, Lisheng Cinema, and Cathay Theater, etc., where do you watch "Mythology" in the 18 cinemas? It's all right, give me the ticket stub when the time comes, and I'll return the money to you! In addition, the farther you run, I will pay the travel expenses!"

"As for the egg sesame oil and edible salt that will be given away afterwards, I will also prepare them for you! It is calculated on a per capita basis, and no one can take advantage of it!"

"I used to work for others just like you, and you must do your best to work for others, so that the boss will think highly of you and treat you sincerely! If you are playing tricks, play with me and want to get it from me For money, I am not afraid to tell you that I, Shi Yufeng, will never end with you!"

"Do you know who my younger brother is? Shi Zhijian! Then do you know who my younger brother's brother Qi is? Zonghua Inspector Lei Luo! Which one of you wants to court death, I will help you!"

Shi Yufeng patted her chest and mastered Shi Zhijian's trick of "pulling the tiger's skin to make a banner" perfectly. At this time, she even sacrificed Hua Inspector Lei Luo as the "killing white bone sword" in a Cantonese opera feature film.

Sure enough, Shi Yufeng made such a threat, and everyone at the scene fell silent, showing a trace of fear. Even the women who had the loudest voices before had expressions of fear at the moment.

However, women are suppressed by Shi Yufeng, but those men are not afraid of Shi Yufeng's blows.

A thick and big man stood up and shouted: "Hey, lame phoenix! No matter how much you talk, it's useless! We are here to make money! You asked us to help, and you asked us to take money to pay in advance. If the time comes, you renege, Who do we go to?"

"That's right, we are all neighbors in the neighborhood. We either earn food in the nearby factory or work in the vegetable market. It's not easy to make money! You'd better show some sincerity!" another burly man said loudly.

"If there is no sincerity, we won't do it! Everyone wash up and sleep!"

"Take the money and come out and see!"

"Take it out quickly!"

People, aggressive.
