Guan Zhilin naturally didn't want Duqi to bring Wen Bixia back to the villa. However, in the United States for more than half a year, she had seen Duqi take the girl home many times. After a few awkward things, she did not get the desired result. She gradually learned Duqi's idea and accepted her identity as Duqi's lover.

In this case, even though Lin Guan secretly rejected her, she still had no conflict with Wen Bixia on the surface. She was reluctant to part with her current life. Even though some wealthy businessmen have expressed their affection to her recently, no one can compare with Du Qi. Even if Lin Guan is a rich man, she at least wants to compare with Du Qi. With Du Qi's current wealth, there are not many people in Hong Kong that can match.

Although the movie has been completed, it still needs to be edited and dubbed in the later stages. This took another week. After everything is processed, you need to watch the movie.

In a screening room at Shaw Brothers Clear Water Bay set, when the theme song "Happy Ghost" sounded, everyone in the crew gave warm applause.

There were no outsiders in the screening room. In addition to director Wang Jing, several starring actors and Du Qi, there were only Shaw Yifu, Fang Yihua, Wang Tianlin and several senior executives of Oriental Film and Television, about twenty people. Du Qi asked, "How do you feel after watching it?"

Shao Yifu didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't really watch this movie. Wang Tianlin thought about it and said, "The audience should like it. Few people shoot such comedy ghost movies."

Fang Yihua said, "I think this movie is average. In terms of comedy, it is not as funny as others' humor, and in terms of ghost movies, it is not as horrible as other ghost movies!"

Duqi smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not surprised to hear such comments, but my movie is for young people in their teens and early twenties. We do seem to have too much meaning. But I believe that young people will like this type of movie, and the main force in watching movies in the cinema is also young people under the age of thirty."

After hearing Du Qi's words, Shaw Yifu said: "It seems that you are still very confident. Since that's the case, I'll ask someone to arrange the schedule at Shaw Brothers Theater. Anyway, the box office of several movies released now is not good. The specific ones will depend on the box office."

After all, everyone is not optimistic about this movie. The director with little experience and the famous new actor made another strange movie that is not like a comedy, and a ghost movie is not like a ghost movie. Except for Duqi himself, no one else can have confidence in it.

This is how the movie is. Before it is actually released, even a veteran with a good vision in the industry cannot prepare to predict the box office of a movie.

In the last life, after "Happy Ghost" was filmed, the big guys of New Art City were not optimistic about this film, so they refused to promote it. The same time as "Happy Ghost" was released was "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier". "Provincial Hong Kong Flag Soldier" had the strongest behind-the-scenes combination in Hong Kong at that time: Sammo Hung, McDonald, and Cen Jianxun, and it was crowded with people to promote it.

The result was surprising. Both movies were released at the same time, and the ticket windows of the theater were lined up. The audience of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" only bought one or two tickets, while the audience of "Happy Ghost" bought six or seven tickets, and some even drew a row of tickets.

When the painting finally came to an end, the new director, new actor, and small-produced "Happy Ghost" won a box office of more than 17 million yuan, while the big production and big promotion "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldier" only had a box office of 10 million yuan.

This result made everyone in the Hong Kong film industry at that time lose sight of it, including Gao Zhisen, the director of "Happy Ghost", who did not expect it.

The overall cultural environment at this time is not much different from that in two years. Du Qi thought about "Happy Ghost". Even if he couldn't sell the box office like Gao Zhisen, at least he couldn't fail!

Of course, Duqi cannot be 100% sure. There are many factors that affect the box office of the movie, including film quality, schedule, publicity, stars, cinemas, other movies during the same period, etc. Any change may affect the box office of the movie!

However, even if you take a step back and lose this movie, Duqi doesn't feel that it's a big deal. The cost is only a few hundred thousand dollars. For Duqi now, it's really not a big money.

So Du Qi said to Shao Yifu: "Then thank you Uncle Six for helping me arrange the film. I plan to invest one million Hong Kong dollars to promote this movie. Oriental Film and Television does not have much access to this aspect, and I hope Uncle Six will help you."

Since Du Qi is willing to pay, Shao Yifu has no problem. He nodded and said, "It is a good thing for young people to have confidence. This movie is not very invested. Just play with it. There is too much uncertainty in the investment in movies. Shaw Brothers is reducing production now, and the TV station is more promising. Your proposal for Phoenix TV to reform was good. Brother Qiu said that Phoenix TV can get on track so quickly. Thanks to your idea, you might as well put more effort into the TV station."

After hearing this, Du Qi smiled and said, "It's better if Mr. Qiu is busy on the TV station now. If I intervene, it would be bad. Now I want to run Oriental Film and Television better. If Uncle Six plans to give up the movie slowly, I intend to take over, but I don't know that Uncle Six is ​​willing to sell Shaw Brothers theaters to me."

Suddenly hearing Du Qi say this, Shao Yifu glanced at him and said, "Don't be busy with this matter. I just have an idea now. Don't be impulsive, as the future is long."

Seeing that Shao Yifu did not refuse immediately, Du Qi was happy and said, "Then let's talk about it later."

After Shao Yifu and others left, Du Qi said to Wang Jing: "You did a good job this time, and I thought it was very good after watching it. If the film is very popular, I can arrange for you to attend the Film Academy of Southern California to study."

Because of Hollywood, the film school of the University of Southern California is well-known in the world. Wang Jing is still young and has great pursuit and learning ability. I heard that he had the opportunity to go there to learn to make movies. Even if he was listening, he was surprised enough and said, "Thank you, Mr. Du, I will definitely work hard."

Next, he looked at Li Saifeng and Li Lizhen next to him and said, "Mr. Du, I heard that Axia lives in your place now."

Duqi didn't know what he meant: "Well, because Axia's family is more than 20 kilometers away from the company and there is no bus connection, so it is inconvenient to go back and forth, so I asked her to live with me during the summer vacation, and it is also convenient to go back and forth the company."
