The release of "The Royal Sister" in South Korea was also good. On the first day of its release, the number of viewers reached more than 90,000. Three days after its release, the number of viewers soared to 40,000, sweeping the box office in South Korea (the Korean box office statistics method is very strange, and only the number of viewers is counted).

In the early 1980s, due to the restrictive order of the South Korean government, there were no more than 15 Hong Kong and Taiwan films released in South Korea every year. Due to the garrison, more than 20 American movies were released in South Korea every year, mostly for US military and middle- and high-income families in South Korea. Ordinary Korean audiences prefer to watch Hong Kong and Taiwan films. Before 1985, Koreans had never watched European and Indian movies.

In just half a month, the number of viewers of "Sister Royal" in South Korea reached 1.46 million. At this time, the ticket price of Korean movies was around US$08. The cumulative box office of "Mr. Zombie" in South Korea in half a month was already 1.16 million US dollars. According to the current exchange rate, it has exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, it has reached its limit now, because most of these box offices are contributed by Seoul, the capital of South Korea. At this time, the total box office in South Korea was only about twice that of Seoul, which means that the box office revenue in other parts of South Korea was only slightly higher than that in the capital, and the regional development was extremely abnormal.

In another decade or twenty years, with the development of South Korea's local economy, the national box office will grow to more than five times the capital's box office.

The box office situation in Southeast Asia is better. As soon as "The Royal Sister" was released in Nanyang, it was a sound of praise, both applauding and popular.

In addition, in the United States, pre-screening can be considered very successful. In two weeks, accumulating a box office of 5 million US dollars in the United States. Oriental Film and Television can get about 20. Compared with the cost of the film, the US's share of the achievements can already recover the cost. If the screening continues, the box office will be estimated to exceed tens of millions of US dollars.

Seeing this result, whether Zou Wenhuai or Lei Juekun, who had just become shareholders of Oriental Film and Television, could get a considerable share, making them more optimistic about the development of Oriental Film and Television. The depression of being forced to sell theaters has been reduced a lot. Oriental Film and Television has such a strong ability to make money. Although the two lost theaters, if Oriental Film and Television's subsequent performance is still so outstanding, their losses will be reduced a lot.

Overseas box office is very important for Hong Kong. If it sells well, its income will exceed several times that of Hong Kong. Why did Cheng Long's pay reach millions when the pay of other Hong Kong stars is only a few hundred thousand? It is because viewers in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Nanyang love to watch Cheng Long's movies, which can increase countless overseas box offices.

It is true that Sammo Hung is a big brother in Hong Kong, and his prestige in the circle seems to be higher than Cheng Long, but now he can only be more prestigious in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Japanese and Korean audiences do not buy his account.

Just because Japanese and Korean audiences like Cheng Long, Cheng Long became a fragrant bun. Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang would rather use disgraceful means to grab it. Luo Wei, who was poached by Jiahe, was like a mountain of gold being poached. In anger, he once spent a huge amount of money to invite people from the club to trouble Jiahe and Cheng Long.

In the Hong Kong film industry with a narrow local box office market, whoever has the ability to attract money overseas is the boss. The big hit at the box office overseas is not only due to the quality of the film, but also requires sufficient overseas promotion capabilities. Especially in the United States, Duqi is considered a local snake in the United States. Zou Wenhuai thought before that he should be able to operate other movies in the United States. After learning about the news that "Sister Royal" was in the United States, he asked Duqi to have tea together that day, and the two sides made a discussion on the release of Jiahe movies in the United States.

Now some small companies even go to Oriental Film and Television or Shengshi Film and Television with their own films, wanting to ask Shengshi Film and Television to help publish overseas. Now many people in the circle already know that Hong Kong's film circle has changed from a multi-party competition to a large number of strong ones. Among them, Shengshi Film and Television and Oriental Film and Television under Duqi are the biggest forces, and the next ones are Jiahe and Xinyi City, etc.

"Movie Biweekly" even wrote a chapter directly pointing out: "In the 1950s, the Hong Kong film industry was a melee between Shaw Brothers, Great Wall, Phoenix, Cathay and other companies; in the 1960s, the Hong Kong film industry was a coexistence between Shaw Brothers and Chiao (Catholic Pacific); in the 1970s, Shaw Brothers and Chiao divided the world equally; now in the 1980s, Shengshi Cinemas and Oriental Film and Television have already dominated the Hong Kong film industry. Shaw Brothers declined, Chiao had to surrender."

After reading this magazine, Zou Wenhuai was in a bad mood again. If he had enough choices, how could he sell the theater chain to Du Qi?

Zou Wenhuai threw away the magazine in his hand and asked the secretary, "Is Cheng Long here?"

The secretary replied: "He has arrived, Cheng Long and Manager He are in the reception room outside."

Zou Wenhuai got up and came to the reception room. In addition to Cheng Long and He Guanchang, there was also a gold medal screenwriter Deng Jingsheng sitting in the reception room.

"Mr. Zou!"

As soon as Zou Wenhuai appeared, Cheng Long and Deng Jingsheng stood up to greet each other, but only He Guanchang was still sitting on the sofa.

"Sit all," Zou Wenhuai took the lead and asked, "Along, Asheng, have you read the script you gave you before?"

Deng Jingsheng said: "I have read it. The script of "Fast Food Truck" is indeed very good and very consistent with Aaron's style. Where did this script come from?"

Zou Wenhuai did not say that he got it from Oriental Film and Television, but turned around and asked He Guanchang: "What do Guanchang thinks?"

"A great drama, now the appetite of Hong Kong audiences is being raised by "The Royal Sister". This "Fast Food Truck" happens to be a modern kung fu comedy, and I think it should be welcomed."

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a moment before saying, "Then prepare to shoot "Fast Food Truck" first to see how the Hong Kong audience react. If possible, I can also contact Shengshi Cinemas to promote the film to markets in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and even the United States."

Seeing Zou Wenhuai finish speaking, Cheng Long hesitated and said, "Mr. Zou, I...I..."

Zou Wenhuai said: "What are you doing hesitantly? Just say it if you have something to do."

Cheng Long couldn't say anything: "I want to open a film company."

Before Zou Wenhuai could speak, Cheng Long's godfather He Guanchang taught a lesson first: "How old are you? Those who are in the family class at home actually remember to open a film company, and they don't know how rich the world is!"

Cheng Long made up his mind and said, "I heard that Mr. Du is only 22 years old and now has such a big career. Why can't I open a film company?"

Zou Wenhuai felt nervous, knowing that this was no longer the side effects caused by theaters, but he had already planned to stop He Guanchang, who was about to continue to curse, and said, "Jiahe has always supported its talented independent production. Since you want to open a company, I will support you. But you must wait until the filming of "Fast Food Truck" is over."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Zou. I will definitely shoot "Fast Food Truck" carefully." Cheng Long was overjoyed. Now the film industry in Hong Kong is getting better and better, and the company that Sammo Hung himself also made a lot of money last year, so Cheng Long was naturally restless.

Zou Wenhuai continued at this time: "Let's do this, I'll invest some money for you, and I won't take up too much shares, just 40."

Cheng Long felt thankful again after hearing this. With Zou Wenhuai's investment, he didn't have to worry about capital issues at all. This was also Zou Wenhuai's aura. If it were Lei Juekun, he would have to own at least 50 shares.

However, because of this, by the 1990s, Zou Wenhuai's wings grew hard and actually competed with his old boss Jiahe. Later, when he was competing for the cinema, Jiahe was even more retaliated by the six companies, and he let go of the fat meat that he had to his mouth.

He Guanchang had scolded Cheng Long before. He was just a gesture, and he also blamed Cheng Long for not saying hello to him in advance. Seeing that Zou Wenhuai agreed, he also asked with a smile: "It is very important to name the film company. What name is Along going to give the new company?"

Cheng Long smiled and said, "I have already thought of the name, so I call it Quanwei Film Company (the predecessor of Weihe)."
