Chapter 179 Farewell
A few days after "Six Finger Piano Demon" was released, "A Chinese Ghost Story" also failed after four weeks of release. The box office ultimately failed to reach 20 million. However, relying on the box office share, Tsai's Pictures was able to recover its costs.
. Then there are Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and more importantly, Japan and South Korea, which will be huge ticket markets for this movie.
"That's the checkpoint, I'll send you here."
On the day Fang Ming left Hong Kong, Cai Zhiliang delivered it in person.
"Thank you." Fang Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at his hometown in the mist, and said, "You and A Jing..."
Cai Zhiliang said: "We have all made our own choices, maybe this is our fate."
"If I return to Hong Kong in the future, I hope I won't embarrass you then."
After leaving home, no matter who he was, his heart was full of resentment. This was Xiang Ming's mood at the moment. As for his involvement with Cai Ming and his imprisonment, Cai Zhiliang did not interfere.
Cai Zhiliang glanced at Xiang Ming, turned to look at the opposite side, and said with a smile: "I'm here, and I won't let you mess around."
Xiang Ming sneered: "This time, you are here too."
Regarding the ridicule, Cai Zhiliang said: "I don't have this ability now, but I will soon. Even if you are on the other side, you will hear my name."
"I'll be back soon." After Xiang Ming finished speaking, he strode away.
Looking towards Mingyuan, Cai Zhiliang slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around and left. He had an appointment at noon and couldn't stay long.
As for why I made an appointment at noon, I can only say that it was an accident, or maybe it was inevitable.
To say it was an accident, since the release of "Six Finger Piano Demon", entertainment tabloids began to compile scandals between Cai Chiliang and Lin Qingxia in order to gain popularity.
Of course, this is what Cai Zhiliang wants to see. After all, movies also need popularity, but the development of the matter was beyond his expectation. Because later, it was no longer a scandal, but a personal attack.
The title is like this: "A young man surnamed Cai cheated on a famous actress and was beaten and seriously injured." The illustration next to it is the photo of Cai Zhiliang sitting on a bench with blood on his face after being injured last month.
The general content is as follows:
Mr. Cai cheated on a famous actress many times. After his real girlfriend discovered the cheating, he told his brother. Just last month, Mr. Cai was beaten by his brother-in-law and suffered a concussion after leaving the actress's apartment.
The brother-in-law was also arrested and imprisoned for hurting others. In order to cover up the situation, Mr. Cai had to bail the brother-in-law out. At this time, his real girlfriend made a request that Mr. Cai should not have any contact with the famous actress.
After the request was rejected, he left Hong Kong in anger.
According to internal company news, Mr. Cai is planning to create a new movie tailored for the famous actress to make up for the shortcomings of not winning the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award.
Now we have to name names, and we are talking about Cai Zhiliang and Lin Qingxia. As for Fang Jingyao's departure and Xiang Ming's imprisonment, who cares about the truth or falsehood of the matter.
There are just a few things that are so paradoxical, but they are so perfectly connected. Three parts are true and seven parts are false, making it sound like it is true.
People's words are scary, and when faced with the accusations of thousands of people, people are always caught off guard.
Moreover, this world is generally gentle to men, but it is more harsh to women. Therefore, the final result, for Cai Zhiliang, is just a romantic affair, but for Lin Qingxia,
It's rather unsightly, maybe because he has a criminal record.
Lin Qingxia decided to leave and return to Taiwan to escape and relax. She declined the cooperation with Tsai's Pictures on "A Lang's Story", which will be filmed next year. Just like a few years ago, Lin Qingxia could not bear the harassment from the media.
, went to Hawaii to study.
"I'm sorry that my family affairs have caused trouble to you." Cai Zhiliang expressed his apology as soon as they met.
"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Qingxia shook her head. This was not the first time she had encountered this.
"Even if you no longer cooperate with Cai's Pictures, there is no need to leave. Film companies such as New Art City and Golden Harvest should be looking forward to cooperating with you." Cai Zhiliang advised.
Lin Qingxia said calmly: "I am tired. I have filmed 4 movies in a row and want to take a break."
"That's fine." Cai Zhiliang said nothing more, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Who are you planning to cast as Bobo?" Bobo is Lin Qingxia's original role.
Cai Zhiliang said a name, "Zhang Aijia."
Lin Qingxia nodded and asked, "I thought you would choose Wang Zuxian."
"She is too young and not suitable for this role. However, the matter is still under discussion and has not been finalized." Cai Zhiliang said with a smile, "You should stop thinking about it. "Beautiful Lady" will be released soon, and there is no need to run both ways.
."
Lin Qingxia waved her hand and said: "Let's talk about you, Miss Fang has started school? I remember that you wrote "Blessing" last year and sang it at the airport when sending Miss Fang to England."
"She has graduated." Cai Zhiliang was silent for a moment and said, "The matter is more complicated. I didn't expect it to be like this."
Lin Qingxia said: "I'm sorry, so what has been reported these days are all true?"
"It's half true and half false. The breakup is true. As for the car accident, I told you before." Cai Zhiliang did not hide it. Lin Qingxia called to inquire about the car accident before.
Lin Qingxia then changed the subject: "The sequel of "Plan A" will be released tomorrow. Are you prepared?"
"What kind of preparations can we make? When soldiers come, we will block it, and when water comes, we will cover it up. With Cheng Long's charisma, the box office will definitely be upwards of 30 million." Cai Zhiliang smiled bitterly and said, "But there is also an advantage."
"What's the benefit?" Lin Qingxia had some questions.
Cai Zhiliang said: "The way to suppress a scandal is to create another news. When "Plan A" is released tomorrow, the media's attention will gradually shift to Cheng Long."
Although this is not what Cai Zhiliang wants to see, all this is not subject to his will.
"I hope so." As for Cai Zhiliang's suggestion, Lin Qingxia still did not consider it.
We talked for a long time, and until Cai Zhiliang left, there was no result.
The next day, "Plan A" was released as scheduled and received rave reviews, immediately detonating the market. Although the film types were different, they were both kung fu movies and had a greater impact on "The Six-Fingered Piano Demon".
Fortunately, Debao did not make any extra moves at this time, perhaps because no one had confidence in the confrontation with "Plan A Sequel".
Cai Zhiliang and Zhao Shuo went to Anle Pictures to find Jiang Zhiqiang to discuss the release of "Best Friend". If it is released in early September, it will collide with "Plan A Sequel".
"It's better to go back to mid-September, so that we can maintain a safe distance for three weeks." After three weeks, even if "Plan A Sequel" is like last year's "A Better Tomorrow", it is already at the end of its life.
Jiang Zhiqiang said: "I have contacted 15 theaters including Anle Cinema, and it will be released around the 15th of next month."
Jiang Zhiqiang's work is quite reassuring.
During this period, Cai's Pictures and Xu Ke Studio confirmed the cooperation on "The Swordsman", but unexpectedly increased the attention of "The Six Finger Piano Demon", which was really an unexpected surprise.
Chapter completed!
