"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss our Chinese New Year release.
I have two scripts here for you all to look at. We need to decide which one to shoot for the New Year slot.
As everyone knows, the Chinese New Year slot is a battleground of titans, featuring the biggest box-office draws in Hong Kong, like Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.
We must guarantee the quality of our film.
Whichever script we choose, my requirement is simple: it must be made well."
Taking out two scripts, Zhou Ziheng looked over at Mani Fok and instructed: "The profit from The Thieves is around forty million, and Director Benny Chan has an upcoming project with an eight-million budget.
Allocate those funds. As for this new project, my thought is that the budget should be no less than twenty million.
Also, let's look for a suitable candidate to direct this film. Once we recommend someone, the company will send them an official offer."
Everyone remained silent, passing the scripts around to read.
For a moment, the only sound in the conference room was the rustle of pages turning.
After a while, once everyone had finished reading, they began to whisper among themselves.
