The publicity of the film is huge, and what is even more terrifying is that it will be released in 30 theaters in two theaters at the same time. [;Starting]

How big is Hong Kong?

Except for some remote places in Kowloon, New Territories, spread out these 30 theaters evenly, and you will see how densely distributed these theaters are.

That feeling is like the posters you see when you go out on the street.

On the first day of its release, it reached a box office of 2.17 million on the first day. This data can only be described as horror.

And what? It was only released in 22 theaters of the Golden Princess, with a box office of 1.26 million on the first day.

The first-day box office of the two films almost doubled. Several newspapers that Jiahe paid for, repeatedly reported the defeat, and the hype was Cheng Long's masterpiece over the past few years.

Although the box office on the first day was far inferior, Kang Jianfei did not panic at all and continued to promote his films step by step.

What Lin Qingxia was beaten to pieces for filming, why Guan Zhilin couldn't act and was scolded and cried by Kang Jianfei, and even Zhong Chuhong liked the lace news of Lin Qingxia, who disguised herself as a man.

The propaganda departments of DreamWorks and the Golden Princess Cinemas made efforts at the same time, and all kinds of news emerged one after another, and the propaganda war was inextricably linked with the other side.

In Cheng Long's villa, a sports car pulled out from the garage.

Cheng Long was driving in the cab, but next to him was Qin Xianglin, who went to the United States last year because of a prostitute scandal.

"Aaron, this time your turnaround was beautiful. Looking at the momentum, I'm afraid it will break the 20 million box office." Qin Xianglin said with a smile.

Cheng Long is a person who is easy to get carried away. Hearing this, he laughed and said: "I don't know if it will break through 20 million, but it must be more than Kang Jianfei."

Qin Xianglin asked, "When will the celebration feast be held?"

Cheng Longdao: "The celebration banquet will have to wait at least until the box office exceeds 10 million."

Qin Xianglin and Cheng Long chatted without a word, and they were deliberately trying to please Cheng Long many times.

Kang Jianfei played too hard last year. After Qin Xianglin's prostitution scandal spread back to Taiwan, the entertainment industry there was relatively conservative, and it was impossible for him to show his face again in the short term. Qiong Yao was quite dissatisfied with Qin Xianglin's fascination. After the prostitution scandal broke out, she even said in private that she would not find Qin Xianglin for filming in the future.

Taiwan can no longer continue to mix, then it can only be in Hong Kong. And if he wants to make a film in Hong Kong, Qin Xianglin has to rely on Cheng Long to help him, although this is a waste.

The two drove to Jiahe Pictures, Cheng Longchun took Qin Xianglin into He Guanchang's office with a full face, and asked with a smile, "Godfather, what was the box office yesterday?"

He Guanchang sighed, shook his head and said, "The situation is not good."

Cheng Long seemed to be splashed with cold water and asked, "What happened?"

He Guanchang said: "The single-day box office on the second day of the release. It has dropped to 1.64 million."

Cheng Long was taken aback. Said: "Isn't the box office on the first day 2.17 million? Why did it drop so much on the second day?"

He Guanchang said: "If today's single-day box office falls below 1.5 million. On the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, 5 theaters will be removed, and other theaters will have one less screening per day."

Cheng Long asked anxiously, "How could this happen?"

He Guanchang sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that there is really no market for old-fashioned kung fu movies. Now the attendance rate is dropping very fast."

Cheng Long abruptly sat back on the leather chair, where he seemed to have lost all his energy.

He Guanchang comforted: "Aaron, don't be discouraged, there is no problem with the box office breaking 10 million."

The box office exceeded 10 million. If it was another actor, he would dance with joy, but Cheng Long was not in a good mood.

This year, the price of movie tickets in Hong Kong has risen again. The average ticket price has reached 11 yuan. It is no challenge for Cheng Long to break the box office of 10 million.

Qin Xianglin asked suddenly, "What's the situation?"

He Guanchang reluctantly choked out a word from his mouth: "Up!"

"It's up!" Li Maowen said excitedly on the phone. "On the second day of its release, the single-day box office was 1.38 million!"

The single-day box office rose from 1.26 million to 1.38 million, which is not a small increase.

Lei Juekun said happily: "Then increase the number of screenings."

Although Lei Juekun and Kang Jianfei were at odds, but now they are on the same page. Jiahe and Shaw Brothers must grab the audience.

Li Maowen said hesitantly: "Mr. Lei, according to the original film arrangement plan, there are still four days before the painting will be completed. If the painting is completed in advance, I am afraid that Mr. Chen and Mr. Feng will not be able to explain it."

Lei Juekun sneered and said: "What is difficult to explain, it has been shown for more than half a month. Now, apart from the cost of a show, there is almost no profit for the theater line. Putting that show again is a waste."

Li Maowen had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll add more screenings tomorrow."

Lei Juekun hung up the phone, feeling quite dissatisfied with Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong. Although they are both shareholders of the Golden Princess Cinema, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong are both juniors in front of Lei Juekun.

These two juniors are jealous when they see other people making movies to make money, but they want to come in to speculate and make a profit, and relying on their status as the shareholders of the theater chain, they force this movie to be ranked first in the summer season, which is really unreasonable.

At this time, Kowloon Bus has been acquired by Sun Hung Kai for nearly 40% of the shares, and Lei Juekun has become the second largest shareholder of the Kowloon Bus Group, which makes him more concerned about Princess Jin.

On the third day of its release, the single-day box office dropped slightly to only 1.3 million. The box office fell even worse, with a single-day box office of 1.36 million.

Speaking of which, both films have some congenital deficiencies, with a literary taste that Hong Kong audiences do not like, and they are lacking in refreshment.

And what?

Old-fashioned kung fu movies are really outdated, and they can't keep up with the audience's aesthetic taste.

To put it bluntly, there are two reasons why the box office on the first day will break 2 million. First, Jiahe and Shaw Brothers were screened together on two lines. Second, Cheng Long’s box office appeal was there, and through the overwhelming publicity of the media, many audiences were attracted, and Kang Jianfei’s box office on the first day was also achieved. not ideal.

From the third day of release, the box office situation of the two films began to stalemate.

Until the end of the first week, the cumulative box office of the first week was 7.91 million. The cumulative box office in the first week was 8.23 ​​million.

Only in terms of data, Cheng Long's small victory was a game, but in terms of the number of theaters released for the two films, the attendance rate was a complete victory.

The review of the two films is quite interesting, the film review wrote: "...obviously, two films that are out of time. It is too advanced, and if this film is put in ten years, it will definitely be more popular at the box office than it is now. . But it is too old. It was definitely the best of the best ten years ago, enough to sweep the Hong Kong box office. It's a pity. Now is now. Neither ten years from now nor ten years ago, so these two excellent films The movie didn't live up to the director's expectations..."

Half a month later, the cumulative box office was 147,300 yuan, and the cumulative box office was 146,800 yuan.

This situation makes the media happy. The two movies are competing for each other and only have a box office difference of more than 500 yuan.

So far, Cheng Long has a slight lead in the box-office battle, but in terms of word of mouth, the two films are judged by one another.

Aside from those gunman articles, the media's evaluation of it is: well-made old-fashioned kung fu movies.

The correct evaluation is: the film of the early Republic of China with a perfect fusion of commerciality and artistry.

Yi Shu even commented with praise: "Among all the movies I've seen, it ranks second, and the Hollywood movie ranks first...

Kang Jianfei is a very special director. His style is sometimes delicate, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, sometimes bloody, changing and unpredictable. Hong Kong movies since the 60s. It has always been the world of male stars, female stars have gradually become a foil vase, and there are very few movies about women.

But let's look at the films directed by Kang Jianfei, and among these four films, three of them are from a female perspective.

in this movie. He even created three heroines with completely different personalities and positions in one breath. Under the coincidences of fate, Director Kang made three women into one play: Brigitte Lin for the country, Zhong Chuhong for wealth, and Ye Qianwen for the dream. A heart-pounding drama of love and hatred in troubled times...

Among the films, Lin Qingxia is the most impressive. She is handsome in a tunic suit, suave in a white shirt, high-spirited in the Overseer's Mansion, and tenacious in prison later. Her beauty has transcended gender, fulfilling all people's fantasies about female beauty~lightnovelpub.net~ The ultimate beauty is that it is so beautiful that it is not offensive, even I can't help but be convinced as a same-sex...

And Guan Zhilin's performance is also admirable. I heard that she is the daughter of the old movie emperor Guan Shan, or it is because of her father and daughter's inheritance. She has such superb acting skills in her first acting. Under her interpretation, a simple, straightforward and strong-hearted woman was played by her to the core. Compared with Cao Yun, played by Lin Qingxia, although Guan Zhilin did not make a vigorous deed, her rebelliousness to tradition in her bones is not inferior. At the end of the film, she resolutely chose to find her father and continued to pursue her dream of the stage ...

And Zhong Chuhong's Xianghong is hilarious, no one thought that the former Hong Kong sister would play such a funny and playful taste, this is a brand new breakthrough for her..."
