The week that Zhang Wanting returned to Taiwan, the Christmas war at the Hong Kong Film Market officially kicked off. The three major theater companies used all their strength to bombard the movie for its final release.

As for the appointment with Jiang Zhiqiang, there is no time left. Anle Cinemas is busy releasing "Alien 2", which has become a hit around the world this year. Although the first "Alien" was released in Hong Kong seven years ago,

The box office was not ideal, only 3.2 million, but it did not stop the enthusiasm of some theaters.

Moreover, according to Taipei's box office statistics, "Alien 2" narrowly defeated Cheng Long's "Brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Brothers" and basically secured Taiwan's annual box office championship this year.

Cai Zhiliang handed over the matter of contacting Jiang Zhiqiang to Zhao Shuo. When the matter is resolved, it will probably be after New Year's Day. Cai's Pictures has also joined forces with Debao Cinemas to prepare for the promotion of "Autumn Fairy Tale" in Hong Kong City

.

The main movies of the three major theater chains are "Chocolate", "Heroes" and "The Legend of the Dragon", all of which were released this weekend.

"Chocolate" is jointly produced by Golden Harvest Pictures and Hui's Pictures. It is planned and starred by the cold-faced comedian Xu Guanwen. It is also joined by his younger brothers Xu Guanying and Anita Mui. Xu Guanying became popular this year due to the zombie movie, and Anita Mui's records are also becoming more and more popular.

.With such a strong alliance, it is obvious that they are determined to win this year's Christmas season.

"The Legend of Heroes" is a film produced by New Art City Pictures and written by Huang Baiming. It is a follow-up to "A Better Tomorrow" and stars Di Long and Lin Qingxia. It still has strong box office appeal.

"Dragon in the River" is a movie created by Debao Pictures. It specially invited Li Guohao, the son of the late Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee, to star in the hope that it can become a blockbuster like Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong to film "Brother Tangshan" and win another one.

Kung Fu superstar.

However, Anle Cinema did not release "Alien 2", probably because it did not want to collide with the three major cinema chains. After all, Hong Kong is still dominated by Hong Kong films, and Hollywood blockbusters are not popular.

"Alien 2" was finally delayed for a week, and within this week, the three major theater chains had already decided the winner. "Chocolate" with an astonishing gesture, left the other two movies far behind. Cold Face

Comedian Hui Koon-man is still young, and his comedy movies are still the golden signature of Hong Kong films.

Taking a break from his busy schedule, Cai Zhiliang went to the airport to pick him up. During the university holiday, Fang Jingyao also took advantage of the Christmas vacation to return to Hong Kong.

"What do you want to eat?" Cai Zhiliang started the car and asked as he walked.

"I'm a little sleepy and don't want to eat, so let's go home first." Fang Jingyao yawned, squinted her eyes, and leaned on the seat.

"No one is home. I have called before. Your mother won't be back until about 4 o'clock. Do you have the key?"

"No." Fang Jing shook her head.

"Let's put some things down first and go to my place to rest for a while until we have a big dinner in the evening."

"Well..." Fang Jingyao responded weakly.

Cai Zhiliang took Fang Jingyao back to his residence in Kowloon, which was the house near the Mingxiu Newspaper Office. Since the establishment of Cai's Pictures, no one had lived there for a long time, and he only asked people to come over and clean it regularly.

Fang Jingyao was indeed sleepy. She was half asleep and half awake when she was carried into the room by Cai Zhiliang. Perhaps she had been tossing for a long time or she felt hungry. She opened her eyes the moment she lay on the bed.

"Now that you're awake, get up. I bought lotus seed buns." On the way back, Cai Zhiliang bought some snacks and packed them back.

"Well..." Fang Jingyao closed her eyes again.

Fang Jingyao slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was already past 5 p.m. Cai Zhiliang was watching TV in the living room, TVB's newly launched "Eternal Dragon Sword".

"Is there anything else to eat?" Fang Jingyao rubbed her groggy eyes and walked out of the room. She had been on a plane for more than ten hours. When she woke up, she naturally felt hungry.

Cai Zhiliang said: "It's already cold. I can't fire up the fire here. Let's make some food downstairs and eat at your house."

After Fang Jingyao finished washing and simply dressed up, the two went to Fang Jianlin's residence.

Zhang Wen has returned, along with Fang Jingyao's elder brother and sister-in-law, Fang Ming and his wife, and their son Fang Yiping. However, Fang Jianlin went to Macau for business and will not be back until the day after tomorrow.

Fang Yiping was naturally very happy when he saw his aunt, but when he saw Cai Zhiliang who came in later, he screamed, obviously he did not approve of this future uncle candidate.

"Mom..." Fang Jingyao hugged her after not seeing her for half a year, and they were very affectionate.

"I've lost weight." Zhang Wen touched Fang Jingyao's head, and then said: "Sit down for a while, dinner will be served soon."

After dinner, Cai Zhiliang made an appointment with Fang Jingyao, got up and left.

"Autumn Fairy Tale" has been released in Taiwan for two weeks, and the box office has exceeded 20 million. With the advent of the Christmas holiday, it is heading towards 30 million. Today, newspapers such as Mingxiu Daily and Chengbao have begun to report on "Autumn Fairy Tale". Different

What's more, Mingxiu Daily is free, while Cheng Daily costs money. Cai Zhiliang approved 300,000 for the final promotion of the movie, hoping to sell it well in Hong Kong City.

With the release of "Alien 2", the biggest impact was naturally on "Heroes" and "The Dragon", and their box office dropped sharply. It can be said that at this time, the Christmas period began to form two "Alien" and "Chocolate".

A pattern of coexistence of strong forces.

Although "Dragon in the River" is not ideal, it has not failed. Debao also wants to take advantage of the Christmas holiday to make the box office soar. As for "Autumn Fairy Tale", we can only wait, as these are mostly independent films

The company is helpless and cannot arrange a good schedule. It can only be said that the theaters are relatively strong now.

Hong Kong is a city where Chinese and Western cultures blend together, and there are many Chinese and Western cultures. Therefore, Christmas is also one of the most important festivals of the year, especially in various commercial districts, where various lights are brightly decorated.

After dinner, Cai Zhiliang and Fang Jingyao, like most young men and women in Hong Kong cities, strolled on the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, admiring the most gorgeous lights in the city.

"What movies are there recently?" Fang Jingyao asked casually.

"Alien" has just been released, should you go and see it?" Cai Zhiliang pointed to a movie theater on the roadside.

Cai Zhiliang thought that Fang Jingyao might like this Hollywood blockbuster after staying in the UK for a few years. However, Fang Jingyao shook her head and said: "It will be released in the UK in September. I have already seen it. I want to watch it."

It’s a Hong Kong movie.”

Cai Zhiliang said: "There was a good movie recently, but it's a pity that it hasn't been released yet."

"What's the movie called?"

"'Autumn Fairy Tale'." Cai Zhiliang said with a smile, his face not red and his heart not beating.

"I seem to have heard of it somewhere..." Fang Jingyao thought for a while, turned to look at Cai Zhiliang, and said, "I read the newspaper this morning. Cai's Pictures is the company you set up, right?"

"Tomorrow I will take you to the company. There is a small screening room there with a beautiful love story." Cai Zhiliang said.

"Okay, then let's go to your company and have a look." Fang Jingyao agreed.

Cai Zhiliang then said: "My grandparents want to see you, how are you thinking about it?"

Since the last time it was mentioned on the Mid-Autumn Festival, He Baozhen had kept it in mind as a lifelong event for his eldest grandson. As Christmas approached, He Baozhen mentioned it to Cai Zhiliang again.

Fang Jingyao brought up another matter and said, "I heard that you invested millions to support a female star?"

"You know Xu Ke... I invested in his movie "A Chinese Ghost Story," and the heroine was Wang Zuxian, so I signed her contract. Otherwise, when the movie becomes a hit, Wang Zuxian will definitely become famous.

FaZi, if you don't sign her contract, wouldn't you be giving others an advantage in vain?"

Cai Zhiliang put his arm around Fang Jingyao's shoulders and said, "Except in movies, I haven't even seen Wang Zuxian himself."

"Really?" Fang Jingyao looked suspicious.

Cai Zhiliang raised his left hand and assured: "It's true."

"Then I'll think about it..." Fang Jingyao broke away from Cai Zhiliang's arm and walked forward.

"No..." Cai Zhiliang hurriedly chased after him.
