Chapter 46 The Wave Movie

Huang Zhan wanted to accept a disciple, but the result was not successful. I wonder if Haisheng was not polite and did not come to the door to attend the apprenticeship. Or maybe his old friend was sick and he asked for leave to delay this matter.

Although the two did not have the name of master and apprentice, they were the reality of master and apprentice. During the time of Huang Zhan's leave, he also asked Haisheng to visit his friend Gu Jiahui to learn the principles of singing.

Haisheng has been very busy recently and completed the filming of "God of Cookery", followed by post-production. He bought a bankrupt small film company for more than 10,000 yuan. He had no equipment, personnel and machines, and was a shell company, but the procedures were complete. Haisheng changed it to Inspur Film Company and handed over the first work "God of Cookery" to Shaw Brothers theaters for distribution.

The contract was signed for a six-fourth share, and a part of the guaranteed fee was paid. The release date of the movie was determined. The ten days before the Spring Festival, three screenings were held every day, totaling seven days.

The schedule is whether it is good or bad? The good thing is that Shaw Brothers Cinemas is large in scale, with many cinemas and four leading theaters, with great influence. Moreover, the schedule is still before the Spring Festival, and the time is very good.

The bad thing is that the movie is released during the day, not the prime time at night. Without publicity, the starring actors are all pink newcomers, and they have no box office appeal at all. Just relying on two outdated stars Di Lang canvassing votes, it seems that they are unable to do so, because the movies starring Di Lang and Jiang Dawei cannot sell tickets, and they play supporting roles in the "God of Cookery" movie, which is even more unpopular.

In order to promote the movie, Haisheng invited three newspapers to write "God of Cookery", and made the film into a flower, and took it to the TVB for advertisements. The inter-spreading level was not good. At 12:30 noon and 17:45 pm, each time was only 30 seconds, which lasted for a week, but the cost was quite large, which cost 50,000 yuan.

He didn't feel hurt, and he felt that the publicity cost was too little. But there was no way, so he spent all the money in his pocket. He had invested 430,000 yuan to shoot a video, but after he searched for it, he was barely enough. But after paying the guaranteed fee, he didn't have much money left, and the rest of his belongings were used for publicity.

There are only a few thousand yuan of working capital left at home, and the students and teachers in the training class did not pay any compensation. After the film was removed from the shelves, they would get the box office dividend and then give the participants a red envelope.

The student teacher didn't want his red envelope. Although Haisheng was extremely strict in the filming process, no one was optimistic about his work. The student's acting skills were not very good, and his level was there. No matter how high the requirements were, it could not reach much height. What's more, the star who didn't show off his canvassing votes, the heroine was still an ugly monster. How could such a movie be sold at the box office?

After the training class resumed, I often heard the students and teachers talking about it, most of whom were bad at Haisheng. Not many of them were optimistic about him, and most of them were teachers with good friends and relationships. I comforted him in my spare time. Haisheng did not feel any worry or frustration. He was absorbing knowledge every day, either in film and television or music. He didn't go home after class to visit Gu Jiahui to learn singing skills.

In the eyes of some people, his busyness and silence are a failure. Many students began to say sarcastic words, especially those who became deserters during the filming of "God of Cookery" were the most fun. They also threatened to never cooperate with Haisheng again, saying that he regarded himself as tall and took himself seriously, and had such strict requirements, but did useless efforts. The movie was destined to fail!

Time flies away, and there are 17 days left before the Spring Festival. The wireless training class is over and the holiday is over, and everyone goes home.

After visiting a group of teachers and friends with good relationships, Haisheng returned home to tease out his interests, such as music, fireworks, and greenhouse vegetables.

When I have time, I check the renovation of the storefront. The lobby is a grocery store and the backyard is a cinema in the cinema in the yard. The renovation costs are not much, so I add some counters, tables, chairs and benches. The most expensive one is the set of projection equipment I rent.

I bought some home appliances at home, and TVs are one of them, and they are large-screen color TVs, but the clarity is not high, and it is a big-butt TV.

Xiaoyu is a loyal audience of TV. Every day after school, she squats in front of the TV to watch programs after finishing her homework. Most of the wireless jade stations are wireless.

This afternoon was no exception. I sat in front of the TV with the girl from the neighbor to watch a children's program. Because it was too late, I only saw the end of the program. The two little girls were very worried and chattered. The program time for the attack on the wireless station was not arranged. The children's program ended when the school time was over. Who would they play it for?

The two little girls were talking excitedly, and a figure suddenly appeared on the TV screen, causing their conversation to come to an abrupt end. Because the person on the screen was Haisheng. He was wearing a chef's outfit and was commenting on the dishes of various chefs. No matter what chef, he failed all the chefs, and then he made a dish by himself. After tasting it, the chefs all said it was OK!

As the picture changed, Haisheng was wearing ragged clothes, eating crumb noodles at a street food stall, and kept nagging.

"The fish balls curry have no fish flavor and no curry flavor, failed! The pork skin is cooked too bad and not chewy, failed! The pig blood is also sparse and dispersed, and the failure is the failure! The most miserable thing is the large intestine, which is not washed clean at all. There is a lump of shit. Are you wrong? Alas, there is lump of shit! There is lump of shit, have you seen it?"

At this point, the picture ended and slogans began to appear. On January 15, 1982, Shaw Brothers Theater released "God of Cookery" at 9 a.m. Everyone is welcome to watch it.

The 30-second advertisement flashed by, and Tian Xiaoyu was not satisfied with watching it, and was in excitement. Because she found Haisheng appearing on TV, she hurried out of the room to ask Haisheng for a report and seek credit.

Not only did Haisheng not praise her, she also asked her if she had finished her homework? She watched TV all day long and confiscated the TV. She originally bought it for fun, but it turned out that Xiaoyu was addicted. She didn't study hard and watched TV every day!

Tian Xiaoyu was afraid that Haisheng would take off the TV, so she was depressed and ran to do her homework. She no longer had the excitement she had just now.

Haisheng doesn’t pay attention to the advertisement because it was made by him. As for whether the audience will buy it or not? No one can say it, and he is the same!

Even if he has a forward-looking consciousness and brings movies that are more than ten years later to the screen, he cannot guarantee that they will be loved by the current audience. Moreover, he has not reached the performance level of Stephen Chow, so it is difficult to tell whether the movies are sold or not, so he can only wait for the result!

I don’t know if the movie is plunged, so I invested 500,000 yuan and had to find a way to get it back. On the day when "God of Cookery" was released on Shaw Brothers Theater, Sanlifang Inspur Cinema began to release the movie all day.

Haisheng received guests from all walks of life outside the store. He did not send an invitation, but the cinema was opened, and some were guests. Most of them were well-known. Haisheng was famous in the local area, and everyone came to support him, which was considered as giving him face.
