In the past few days, the filming of the New Era movie, Buried Alive, had already begun.
Dongfang Yuanlong woke up early in the morning and walked into the simple toilet to wash up. She looked at herself in the mirror on the sink and cheered herself on.
Whether they would return to the starting point or take off from the ground would depend on today!
Dongfang Yuanlong, who had packed up, went to the entrance of the film company and waited for Ni Yongxiao and Jimmy.
"toot..."
Dongfang Yuanlong saw that the Ni family's car was parked by the roadside when he heard the car horn, so he quickly got in. She went to the entrance of the cinema with Ni Yongxiao and Jimmy.
Although Buried Alive was an unpopular movie, most people were interested in it after New Era's promotion.
After the three of them contributed three movie tickets, Ni Yongxiao took the lead and walked into the theater. The audience was only two-thirds of the total audience, but even so, Dongfang Yuanlong was secretly happy.
The cost of this film was relatively low. After a few more scenes, he would probably be able to recoup the cost.
As the movie began, the audience quieted down. As the movie went through ups and downs, the audience also exclaimed in surprise.
The panicking appearance of the protagonist placed in the wooden box made the audience feel very immersed, and they were very focused.
At the end of the movie, everyone finally reacted. They didn't expect the ending to be so dramatic. The audience was very curious about whether the main character had escaped.
Ironically, the rescuers in the movie saved the wrong person, and the protagonist could only wait for death.
As the movie ended, the audience was still immersed in the plot of the movie.
"The rhythm of this movie is very tight, and the theme is relatively new!”
"Also, this screenwriter is also a god. He actually thought of such a story!”
Dongfang Yuanlong was still a little excited when he walked out of the theater. Ni Yongxiao patted Dongfang Yuanlong's shoulder and said with a smile,
"Congratulations, Director Dongfang! The movie is very good."
"Those are all Mister Ni's ideas! I wouldn't have been able to produce such a film without Mr. Ni's script!”
Ni Yongxiao shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, stop flattering me. What should be yours is yours! You and Jimmy go back first. Come find me when the box office on the first day is announced!”
"Alright, Mr. Ni!"
Dongfang Yuanlong, who had parted ways with Ni Yongxiao, followed Jimmy back to the New Era Film Company to wait for the box office earnings on the first day.
The waiting time was always very long.
When it was close to midnight, Jimmy brought Dongfang Yuanlong to the Ni family's villa with the results of the first day's box office.
Ni Yongxiao stood up and slowly walked toward the two of them.""Why? Is the box office earnings on the first day out?”
"Haha, Mr. Ni, we've succeeded!”
Dongfang Yuanlong walked forward excitedly and shook hands with Ni Yongxiao tightly.
"Brother Xiao, our movie's box office on the first day was 650,000, 650,000!”Jimmy said with a smile on his face.
"Very well, let's go. It's too late now. There's not enough time for the celebration party now. We'll make up for it tomorrow. Now, I'll take you out for supper!”Ni Yongxiao patted their shoulders and said happily.
Tsimshatsui
At the food stall,
Cheng Fei drove Ni Yongxiao, Dongfang Yuanlong, and Jimmy to the food stall. They found a seat and sat down. Ni Yongxiao started ordering supper.
Jimmy, who had calmed down, looked at Ni Yongxiao, who was ordering, and said slowly,"
"Brother Xiao, although our movie has successfully started, the pirates will probably print a large number of pirated copies after seeing our results.”
"I'm afraid it will have an impact on our movie sales! It'll affect our total profit from this movie!”
After Ni Yongxiao ordered the dishes, he sent the waiter away and slowly put down the menu. Ni Yongxiao crossed his arms and smiled as he looked at Jimmy.
"Piracy? Don't worry, Jimmy. As long as anyone showed such signs, Han Chen and Dadong would make these people understand that they should not touch something that was not theirs!”
"No matter if it's in our territory or outside, you're not allowed to sell our pirated discs. Even though the Ni family has changed their style, if anyone dares to challenge the Ni family's bottom line, we'll flatten them!”
"Cheng Fei, pass down the order. If anyone dares to pirate our movies! Attack immediately!"
"Yes, Brother Xiao!"
Cheng Fei replied, got up, and walked to the side to make a call.
Dongfang Yuanlong, who was standing beside Ni Yongxiao, felt his spirits lift when he heard Ni Yongxiao's words. The success of the movie this time had greatly boosted his confidence in the Ni family! He quickly said to Ni Yongxiao,
"Brother Xiao, there are a lot of actors and directors in Hong Kong who have been bullied by the mafia and forced to close their doors and go bankrupt.”
"Right now, our movie sold well hotcakes, but we still lack directors and actors. If Brother Xiao is interested, I can help you contact them!”
Ni Yongxiao's interest was piqued when he heard that. He looked at Dongfang Yuanlong meaningfully and said,"
"Of course there is. How about this? I'll leave this matter to you and Jimmy! I don't lack money. If anyone tries to stop you, the Ni family will always be your backing!”
Dongfang Yuanlong and Jimmy nodded.
"Alright, Mr. Ni!"
"Okay, Brother Xiao!"
The next day,
When the pirates saw that the movie was so popular, they began to print it in large quantities. However, before they could start selling it, the Ni family's people arrived after receiving the news.
Chen Haonan walked forward and looked at the pirate dealer in front of him. He said coldly,""I heard that you guys are printing our movie?”
"Hehe, Brother Haonan! "You guys earn the big bucks, let us have a taste of the small profits.”
The smiling dealer handed a cigarette to Chen Haonan but was pushed away by him.
"Cut the crap. Let me give you a piece of advice. Who dares to sell it? Chop who!"
As he spoke, Chen Haonan held a butterfly knife and stabbed it into the printed film.
Outside,
The plainclothes police officers who saw so many gangsters rushing over realized that they were just here to boycott the pirated version.
His emotions started to get complicated.
Since when did the mafia stop killing people and start cracking down on pirates?
