"Mr. Qiao admits that we will be defeated during the Spring Festival, and will be worse than Jiahe, so we came to find us after Jiahe refused?" Shao Yifu asked so calmly. He was not as wide-eyed as Fang Yihua, looking at Qiao Feng fiercely.

Qiao Feng smiled at Fang Yihua: "Miss Fang, don't be angry. The facts will prove that I am right. Of course, I am not belittled you, and I am not optimistic about Jiahe. It's just that their new Shushan Swordsman invests much more than your Shaw Brothers, so no matter how unsatisfactory the box office and how bad the reputation is, they have to bite the bullet and put it down. So after Jiahe refused, I knew that I couldn't add them to the Spring Festival period, so I could only find you Shaw Brothers."

"Mr. Qiao is really honest." Shao Yifu smiled.

"What honesty is, I don't think we should take us seriously at all." Fang Yihua looked at Qiao Feng coldly: "Even if our film is bad, we can recover our capital after the screening is long enough. Why do we need to cooperate to release your film?"

"Miss Fang, you said, I am working with you, and the films are selling well. Not only will your theaters make money, but the money you invest in can also be rewarded with a huge return. I think this is much more cost-effective than making investments in interstellar dullness with your empty seats with a low pitiful attendance rate." Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows and said.

"Whether the interstellar dullness is good or not, the box office is good or not, it is still unknown. It is just a one-sided statement from Mr. Qiao. We cannot give up the Spring Festival because of this. I think Mr. Qiao also said the same thing to Zou Wenhuai and the others. They refused because of the same considerations as me, right?" Shao Yifu said.

"Mr. Shao is right." Qiao Feng smiled helplessly.

He also expressed his disapproval of the New Shushan Swordsman in Jiahe, but Zou Wenhua and others were as confident in their movies as Shao Yifu Fang Yihua, and did not think that they would lose a box office as Qiao Feng said, so they had no interest in the cooperation of Qiao Feng said to film and then use the Spring Festival release.

He Guanchang even teased him, saying, "Mr. Qiao, if you invest 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the United States, you dare to expect the global box office of 70 million US dollars, nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars. We Jiahe dare not compare with you, but after investing more than 20 million, we still have confidence in getting it back with a small profit."

By this, Qiao Feng would not have to continue talking about it anymore, and Jiahe would definitely not give up the Spring Festival period.

"Jiahe has confidence in investing so much. We invest nearly 10 million less than them, and there is no reason to lack confidence. So, Mr. Qiao is embarrassed. We can cooperate, but let it be for the Spring Festival release." Shao Yifu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng smiled bitterly, and he knew it would be like this. As Shao Daheng, who dominated the film industry in the 1960s and 1970s, could he be less courageous and confident than Zou Wenhuai?

If it weren't for the fact that the person was too stingy and forced Li Xiaolong and Xu Guanwen to Jiahe, Jiahe would probably not have survived until now.

However, Qiao Feng, who was rejected again, was not discouraged because the situation of Shaw Brothers and Jiahe was different.

Jiahe's investment is too high, more than 20 million yuan. If you want to recover the investment, you can only show it for a long time. However, Shaw's investment is only more than 10 million yuan. The investment pressure is not that great. After the attendance rate is too low, you will have to draw it. Otherwise, even if you watch the screenings every day, you will not make as much money as maintaining the theater and spending more labor.

In fact, in addition to the few movies sold by Shaw Brothers in recent years, most of the time, he can only barely maintain a balance of income and expenditure, and often he loses money. The movies are often released for four, five days, five and six days. Taking advantage of the initial audience's enthusiasm to make a little profit, and once the attendance rate drops, he will immediately release the picture and release the new film. Then he will take the picture to Nanyang for screening.

Self-sufficient seems beautiful, but Shaw Brothers' manual salary alone is very heavy under the large studio system. Because of the low salary, all capable young people have gone out, leaving behind all the old people who can't keep up with the times. The films they make are not much that the audience likes to watch. The box office of the movies is low, and in turn, they have to compress the investment in the movies, the actors' pay, and the films they make are worse and the box office is lower.

In a word, Shaw Brothers is that he can't stop on the road of a vicious cycle. If it weren't for the big family and big business, he would have gone bankrupt.

Knowing the situation of Shaw Brothers, and the memory of the original space-time and interstellar dullness that was released in a hurry for three days was so popular that he had to leave the picture. This made Qiao Feng confidently make a bet with Shao Yifu.

"Betting?" Shao Yifu asked in surprise.

"Yes, bet. I bet. I bet that the reputation of the interstellar dull audience will be very bad, and the attendance rate will drop rapidly. If I am wrong, I will give you a script for free. If it is indeed as I said, then the interstellar dull audience will be released after the interstellar dull audience is drawn." Qiao Feng said.

"Mr. Qiao said frankly. It seems that this bet is beneficial to us, Shaw Brothers, but for you, you may lose a script worth millions or tens of millions. I am very curious, Mr. Qiao, what do you want, and why must it be released in the Spring Festival. "Although Shao Yifu's old eyes, his eyes were full of confusion when he asked this.

"I said it was because I didn't like to let Mr. Shao come forward in Xinyi City, do you believe it?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"I believe." Shao Yifu nodded with clarity. He thought it was the best partner released at the beginning of the year. Mecca, Lei Juekun and others made bold statements to put the god of gambling under their feet to create a new record. This incident caused Qiao Feng, so Qiao Feng was like this.

Qiao Feng didn't know what Shao Yifu was thinking, so of course he wouldn't explain much if he knew.

"Was Mr. Shao agreed to this bet?" Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

"Mr. Qiao is so good at opening the conditions, I can't agree or not. Now can I tell you what type of film you are going to shoot? It's not easy to beat the best partner's sequel. Does Mr. Qiao want to film the sequel to the God of Gambling?" Shao Yifu said with a smile.

"It's not a sequel to the God of Gambling, it's a zombie comedy." Qiao Fengdao.

"What, zombie movie, what's the joke?" Fang Yihua, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was annoyed again.

Shao Yifu's expression was also bad, and he asked inquiring, "Why did Mr. Qiao think of filming zombie movies? Audiences don't like this subject. In the past two years, only one or two films made by Sammo Hung has a pretty good box office. Are you sure that this kind of film can be played in the ring with the best partner sequel with a large audience base, Mr. Qiao?"

It’s not that Shao Yifu is so unconfident and unconfident. It’s really unbearable to look back on the past. To talk about zombie movies, Shao Brothers is his ancestor.

In 1974, Shaw Brothers invested a huge amount of money and collaborated with the British Hammer company to shoot a zombie film that combines Western vampires and China's legend of "Xiangxi Corpse", named Qijin Corpse.

The director of this film is British and the screenwriter is British. The company he cooperates with has filmed many vampire movies, such as the Devil's Ritual, Dracula and other Hammer company, known as the Vampire Base Camp.

This film combines the local and foreign versions, and Shaw Brothers made a big promotion back then, which was very important. As a result, the reality gave Shao Yifu a blow. Because there were too many mixed things in the film, the audience could not accept it, resulting in a severe box office loss.

Since then, let alone Shaw Brothers, just other companies, the entire Hong Kong film industry has never dared to touch on zombie themes for the next ten years.
