"Fang Ming wants to see you." Early the next morning, Zheng Yiming conveyed Fang Ming's words.

Xiang Ming was released on bail. The police found no drugs or drug paraphernalia such as syringes on him. This also saved Zheng Yiming a lot of effort. After paying the bail, he was released.

It’s just that you can’t leave the country within a month, and you have to go to the police station for inspection regularly.

"It's still missing, you just have to make arrangements." Cai Zhiliang refused to meet, or what should he say if he met, be it anger, regret or something else. I don't think he would be grateful.

What made Cai Zhiliang regretful was that Pata could not be found. Cai Zhiliang also went to inquire about the construction site that Pata pointed to that day. There was indeed a Thai named Pata, but he was a gangster and had not been working for a long time.

No one knows where he went.

One afternoon a few days later, Cai Zhiliang received a package sent from the mainland.

The package was very light and fluttering, but it was so heavy in his hand. Cai Zhiliang wanted to open it and take a look, but was afraid to see the truth.

Fang Jingyao has made a choice, and so has he, but he just doesn't want to face the final outcome.

"Who sent the package?" Zhao Baoxiu glanced at the package and asked.

Cai Zhiliang did not respond, but silently opened the package. Most of it was filled with foam and the like. The first thing that caught his eye were two keys, which were the keys to Kowloon Tong.

"Where is the key?" Zhao Baoxiu asked again.

There was also a delicate box in the package. Cai Zhiliang slowly picked it up, put it to his ear, and shook it, but he didn't hear any sound.

"I have a question for you, A Liang, who sent the package?" There was no response twice. Zhao Baoxiu was a little angry and raised her voice unconsciously.

Cai Zhiliang opened this exquisite small box, and what was revealed was a ring. The ring that was used to propose a few days ago has now returned to its original owner.

"You proposed, did she... did she agree?" Zhao Baoxiu's voice suddenly trembled, and she felt an inexplicable loss. The matter was obvious, Fang Jingyao accepted the ring. If her son gets married this year, maybe

I can have my grandson next year.

"Well..." Cai Zhiliang nodded and finally had some response.

I stayed at home for nearly two weeks, waiting for the wounds on my face to become smooth before I came out to walk around.

During this period, Shaw Brothers officially issued a statement to officially suspend production. Hong Kong audiences have mixed emotions about Shaw Brothers movies, and their suspension of production is also expected. It has been half a year of buffering, and it has not caused any waves.

During this period, another important thing was that the takeover war for Hong Kong Hotels was over. Liu Luanxiong reached an agreement with Baoyuan Investment, the financial advisor of the Kadoorie family, to resell his 34.9% stake in the hotel to a syndicate and HSBC

A subsidiary of the bank. Of course, these are all partners of the Kadoorie family, all arranged by Baoyuan Investment.

In this 5 billion takeover war, although Liu Luanxiong mobilized 2 billion and barely made 150 million, it made all the old consortiums look at him with admiration and truly qualified to win. Although the Kadoorie family won back face, it also paid a heavy price.

cost.

In the film market, "Oriental Condor" produced by Golden Harvest has already been screened after three weeks of screening, with a box office of 22 million, surpassing "Fantasy" in one fell swoop and becoming the current summer champion. However, in terms of release time,

"The Oriental Condor" stayed in theaters for one more week, but it only earned hundreds of thousands more than "The Hardcover".

"Oriental Condor" failed to realize Hung Kim-bo's ambition. After all, the cost of overseas filming is much higher. The gimmick of this first Hong Kong war movie also failed to bloom as brilliantly as the original Five Lucky Stars series. It has no hope of 30 million.

box office.

The film currently being released is Zhou Runfa's "The Dragon and the Tiger". It has the same grievances and gunfights, but it is much worse than other movies starring Zhou Runfa. It only relies on Zhou Runfa's appeal and continues to reap the box office.

"The Big Thief" produced by Debao Company has a box office of over 13 million. The female lead is none other than Yang Ziqiong. From "The Owl and the Dumbo" to "The Royal Sister", Yang Ziqiong has become one of the few people in Hong Kong who can truly carry the box office of a movie.

The heroine has accumulated a large number of fans in just two or three years. Unfortunately, she will marry Pan Disheng early next year. This will also be her last movie to be released in theaters before she officially retires from acting.

It is precisely because of this that "The Great Thief" was able to break out from the crowd of "Eastern Condor" and "A Chinese Ghost Story". However, after the release of "Jianghumen", it has obviously lacked stamina.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" was released two days later. After two weeks of screening, the box office exceeded 15 million and is heading towards 20 million. For this movie with a final investment of 8 million, if you want to recover the cost by relying on the local box office, you can only rely on luck.

Relying on the popularity of Leslie Cheung and Ong Cho-hyun, the box office is still strong.

Next, the focus of Chua's Pictures is to ensure the release of "Six Finger Piano Demon" this month, and the promotional activities have already begun.

"What's going on with Shaw Brothers? I thought Sir Shaw Brothers would continue to operate." Cai Zhiliang asked. After all, the two companies are still partners.

Zhao Shuo said: "Sir Shao is naturally unwilling to give in, but if others don't support it, what can we do? After all, he is getting old."

"What about Wang Zuxian's film contract? Can it be withdrawn?" This is what Cai Zhiliang is concerned about, but even if Shaw Brothers agrees, they will probably open their mouths.

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up and he said: "This is negotiable. I'll try to find out what Shaw's side says first, but given the current situation, it's hard to say."

It can only be said that the current Wang Zuxian is no longer the beautiful vase she was before "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released.

Cai Zhiliang said: "Sir Shaw founded Shaw Brothers Pictures when he was over fifty. He once dominated Hong Kong. He will not give up."

"Maybe." Zhao Shuo was somewhat disapproving and said, "Ms. Fang would not agree either. Although TVB and ATV are not as confrontational as they were in previous years, once a war starts, they probably won't have the energy."

"Then you go and have a look. By the way, do you know what Li Guilong has been busy with recently?" Cai Zhiliang recently felt that Li Guilong was not in a good mood, but Li Guilong was hesitant. Thinking about the promotion of "Six Finger Piano Demon",

Zhao Shuo may know something.

"You don't know yet..." Zhao Shuo laughed unconsciously as he spoke.

Cai Zhiliang said: "What's wrong? Should I know?"

"He is planning to set up a printing factory." Zhao Shuo was the first to sell it.

"Printing plant?" Cai Zhiliang was also amused and said: "With the magazine's small sales volume, is it necessary to use a printing plant?"

"Before the release of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Li Guilong hoarded a large number of posters. When the movie was released, the sales were crazy. But he still underestimated Wang Zuxian's influence. By the time he placed an order with the printing factory, there were already a large number of posters.

The company used his poster as a template and customized a large number of posters. Now he can only watch others making money while he has nothing to do."

What Zhao Shuo said so much is nothing more than piracy meeting piracy, and others control the source.

"When will "Six Finger Piano Demon" be released?"

"On the 10th, but it should be earlier." Zhao Shuo explained, "The attendance rate of "The Great Thief" has dropped below 30%. Even if Debao insists, the ideas of theater shareholders must be considered. The previous "Ghost Horse Campus" has already made

They were very annoyed."

"That's good, what about "Plan A Sequel"?"

"With Jiahe's virtue, it is already the limit for "The Dragon and the Tiger Gate" to be able to be screened for two weeks. "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon" will definitely conflict with "Plan A Sequel", but if it is done a few days in advance, there can be a buffer." Zhao Shuo

There are also some worries that "Six Finger Piano Demon" meets "Plan A Sequel", just like Shaw Brothers' martial arts met "The Best Partner" from New Art City a few years ago, and it will only lead to death.

"There is also good news. The Yindu Cinema has released "The Book of Swordsman", divided into two parts, and the box office is not bad."

Cai Zhiliang nodded and said: "That means there is still a market for martial arts movies. Let's go and take a look another day."
