Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 91 "Truth or Dare" Settlement

Another half month passed.

"Truth or Dare" was pulled from theaters after a dismal box office performance.

This time, Tang Jinshan did not pull from theaters early, but instead ran for a full month.

I wonder if this is why "Bishonen" was downgraded last time.

Hong Kong box office: HK$372 million.

Yes, it's a bit higher than "Goodbye Ah Lang," which cost 800 million.

Even Singapore, with a population of less than 400 million, had higher box office revenue than Hong Kong.

That translates to approximately 470 million in box office revenue.

No one can laugh at such a result.

Aside from the media and those who want to laugh at him.

"Tang Jinshan's fourth consecutive flop, when will Golden Dragon Film go bankrupt?"

"Truth or Dare" box office failure, Tang Jinshan's bizarre cast pays the price.

"Having no knowledge of film, trying to stumble upon a perfect opportunity—how can one expect to succeed?"

"Does Tang Jinshan really want to invest in movies? Or is he just trying to woo female celebrities?"

"A list of female celebrities who were harmed by Tang Jinshan."

"Is Tang Jinshan's eye for talent exceptionally accurate? Or is it that Hong Kong's film industry is declining?"

Each title was incredibly eye-catching.

Surprisingly, I even saw some reflections.

In private, even more people are discussing it.

Huang Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sun Li was not in the list.

However, I felt even more distressed.

He gave so much, poured everything into it, and this is the result he got?

My girlfriend gave it away herself.

The box office was a complete flop.

Moreover, as the lead actor, director Bill Dongsheng received even more criticism.

Especially in Hong Kong, there's an overwhelming amount of nitpicking.

Hong Kong media outlets are known for their sharp tongues.

His dream of using "Truth or Dare" to open up the Hong Kong market and take his acting career to the next level was completely shattered.

It even backfired, completely blocking his path to Hong Kong.

As for the mainland.

It was not released in mainland China at all.

There's been a fair amount of negative news.

Given the connections between Tang Jinshan and Han Shanping, securing a theatrical release shouldn't be difficult.

However, he didn't care at all; he was probably using all his energy to date some female celebrity.

Thinking of this, his heart ached again.

It's also possible that Tang Jinshan thought the finished film was too bad after watching it, so he simply couldn't be bothered to fight for it.

He still has money, and he continues to live comfortably.

However, this is the result of my 2000 million dollar production.

Now, not only is the road to Hong Kong blocked, but the performing arts industry in mainland China is also suffering a double blow and its future is bleak.

what----

Huang Lei felt like he was going crazy!

No, he can't accept this outcome!

I paid such a high price to climb Tang Jinshan, I can't just let it go like this!

Even if this movie flops, he will seek other opportunities.

He mustered up his courage and called Tang Jinshan.

"President Tang, it's me, Huang Lei."

"Teacher Huang? What brings you here?"

Tang Jinshan never expected that Huang Lei would still dare to call him after losing so much money from him.

Hearing the title "Teacher Huang" was incredibly grating to Huang Lei.

"Mr. Tang, I wonder which movies you've invested in recently? Are there any roles that would be suitable for me?"

The box office failure this time is not his fault at all; he feels that he has performed very well.

If anyone has to take the blame, it should be Derek Yee, the Hong Kong Film Awards director.

It's obvious that the Hong Kong media are deliberately targeting him, a mainland Chinese!

"Teacher Huang, you should just stick to teaching. Who would dare hire you these days?"

Tang Jinshan said.

"Mr. Tang, you can't do this! I've given so much—one failure doesn't prove anything!"

"Teacher Huang, isn't this wrong? Trading is trading, and if we lose, we all have to accept it. I've lost so much money, so who should I turn to?"

I haven't even said anything about you yet! It's all your fault, you jinx! The movie lost so much money because they cast you as the male lead!

Tang Jinshan was furious; Chef Huang really had a thick skin.

Besides, he hadn't even slept with Sun Li yet.

Pure loss.

"Mr. Tang, you yourself said that a deal is a deal, so you can't blame me for this, right?"

Upon hearing Tang Jinshan's anger, Huang Lei immediately cowered.

"Don't come looking for me again."

"Mr. Tang, I'm still teaching, but I can introduce you to more promising students."

Huang Lei seemed to have grasped at the last straw.

"I see—"

Tang Jinshan's hand, which was about to hang up the phone, froze in mid-air.

He liked the suggestion; Chef Huang was still sensible.

However, we'll have to see how sincere he is.

"Let's talk about it later. I have no objection if a director is willing to use you."

Tang Jinshan thought for a moment and then said.

"Yes! Isn't 'May Fourth New Youth' casting for a role? I can audition."

That was his real purpose.

"The Birth of a Nation", "My 1919", and "May Fourth Youth" were all invested in by Tang Jinshan.

All of them were big-budget productions costing 30 to 40 million, and they were assigned by higher authorities as tribute films for the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The top talents from several major film studios have all been mobilized, and even the film and television industry has entered the fray.

The cast and crew are far bigger than those of "Truth or Dare"!

This is his only hope for a comeback in his career in mainland China!

Do you think you're suitable to play Li Dazhao?

Tang Jinshan just felt like laughing.

"I can play Chen Duxiu too."

"I would never dare to disrespect the sages."

Tang Jinshan hung up the phone immediately.

He's busy!

The box office performance of "Truth or Dare" was so poor that the rights to the film were sold off for another two million yuan.

The buyers are all familiar faces. By splitting the distribution rights and DVD rights and selling them in different regions, they can still make a considerable amount of money.

Unfortunately, Tang Jinshan found it troublesome and packaged all his works together.

If this continues, it feels like they're all going to get rich.

[The film "Truth or Dare" has finished its run and is currently calculating its revenue.]

[Calculation complete. The total investment for "Truth or Dare" was 2120 million, total revenue was 656 million, and the net loss was 1464 million.]

Ten thousand.】

Of the extra 120 million, it was from GG Investment, which was brought in by Er Dongsheng.

However, just like with "Goodbye Mr. Cool", all of the money was used for promotion in Hong Kong and Singapore.

[Currently verifying the accuracy of the cost estimates —]

[The cost accuracy assessment is rated as Grade A, and a tenfold refund will be given.]

Another tenfold return!

Tang Jinshan was instantly excited.

Derek Yee is also a good director who puts his heart into making movies!

It's worth continuing to invest in this area!

With the return from "Goodbye, Ah Lang", he suddenly had more than 190 million in his hands!

They suddenly became incredibly wealthy and powerful.

The $3000 million from Lord of the Rings has been secured.

He was happy, but a lot of people were worried about him.

"You should be more careful when investing in movies in the future! Don't let yourself get scammed out of all your money."

Zhou Huimin was the first to call.

She's actually in high spirits lately.

His comeback album is a huge success, with sales across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong already exceeding 200 million copies!

Many songs from the album became hits everywhere.

"Flower Universe", "A Girl's Prayer", and "Eyes Want to Travel" topped the charts.

Since the Lunar New Year, he has been unparalleled in popularity, and no one can rival him.

If it weren't for the rampant piracy in mainland China, sales would have been several orders of magnitude higher!

Her comeback was a resounding success, and the company has already been preparing to record a Mandarin album while the iron is hot.

This time, the audience will be much wider!

Especially in mainland China.

Of the more than 200 million copies sold by the album "Hua Hua Universe", more than half came from mainland China.

Of course, the added prestige of her donating 1500 million yuan also played a role.

Keep up the good work this time!
