Chapter 178 broke the record (7K chapters, please subscribe~)

  When Chu Huan left Bao Tianming's apartment that night, it was already three o'clock in the morning. At this time, Xiangjiang was already pale.

  Chu Huan was driving the car, and Cao Yunshang was sitting next to Chu Huan. As for Lin Feng who was driving before, Chu Huan had already pushed him into the car behind.

  Chu Huan, who was driving the car, noticed that Cao Yunshang next to him was twisting his body unnaturally.

  Because Cao Yunshang has discovered that Chu Huan is not driving in the direction of his home, but the apartment where Chu Huan lives now.

   But this time, Cao Yunshang didn't think of rejecting Chu Huan's behavior as before.

   "Just now you were not like this, like that."

  Chu Huan adjusted the atmosphere in the car.

   "Don't mention what happened just now!" Cao Yunshang said with a blushing face at this time. She looked so tough just now, but now that she thinks about it, she is really not a lady.

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "Okay, I won't mention it."

  Cao Yunshang hurriedly changed the subject, looked at Chu Huan worriedly and asked, "Is there any hidden danger in what you told Brother Tianming just now?"

  Chu Huan smiled easily, and said: "What hidden dangers could there be? It's not our people who did it. Since Lin Jiang has already chosen to do it, then he should have guessed what consequences it will bring to himself after doing it!"

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "I don't have any objection to you doing this, but I just feel that if you encounter such a thing, I am worried that you will continue to use this idea in the future?"

  Some things are addictive, especially what Chu Huan decided to let Bao Tianming do.

  It is easy to make people fall into madness, and in the process of doing things in the future, it seems to be beyond control!

  Chu Huan comforted: "Don't worry, I have never taken the initiative in this kind of thing. This time, Lin Jiang stepped over the line. If I don't take any action this time, there will be more such things in the future."

  Cao Yunshang reminded: "But behind Lin Jiang is Xin X'an after all. If it's just Lin Jiang, we naturally don't have to worry, but if the time comes, people from Xin X'an will investigate."

  Chu Huan said: "That's why I didn't let Brother Tianming do it directly, but made a detour. Even if Xin X'an wanted to make trouble, there is no reason."

  Associations against ordinary people naturally do not need evidence.

  But if it is a person with status, the association must have evidence, otherwise, it is impossible for such an association to have too long vitality in Xiangjiang.

   "What's more, I guess Xin X'an will not make any moves!" Chu Huan thought for a while and said.

  Cao Yunshang looked at Chu Huan in confusion, and asked, "Why?"

   "Do you still remember the mysterious phone call I told you about?" Chu Huan asked.

  Cao Yunshang nodded and said, "Remember, what's wrong?"

  Chu Huan said: "I suspect that the call was made by someone from Xin X'an."

   "What?" Cao Yunshang was surprised by Chu Huan's guess.

"Since Chu Tianxiao wants to deal with me, this matter must be kept secret. That is to say, not many people know about it. I have no one to put myself in Chu Tianxiao's side, and the few people around him No reason to call me either.

  Then the only person who can make this call is from Lin Jiang.

Since I'm from Lin Jiang's side, I'm naturally from Xin X'an, and the people around Lin Jiang have no reason to call me. It's Siylong and the others. I heard that Lin Jiang and Siylong have always been together. disagree. "

  Chu Huan analyzed the matter for Cao Yunshang.

   "But this is just speculation!" Cao Yunshang judged, and at the same time said: "What if it's not the Four Y Dragon?"

  Chu Huan said indifferently: "No, it's not. Anyway, what we are going to do, no one can stop it. I think that person will take the initiative to show up soon."

   Regarding Chu Huan's guess, Cao Yunshang has no doubts. It is impossible for that mysterious person to tell Chu Huan the news for no reason, and there must be more follow-up.

   While chatting, the two had already returned to Chu Huan's apartment.

  Cao Yunshang stopped talking at this time, but there was a sly look in his eyes. Chu Huan was thinking about what kind of posture the two of them should use to start the next stage of getting along, so he didn't notice Cao Yunshang's expression.

  The two of them returned to the room, and Chu Huan directly threw Cao Yunshang against the wall. Before Cao Yunshang caught off guard, he had already been thumped against the wall by Chu Huan.

   "Wait, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

   "What's the matter, I'll talk about it later, this is not the time to talk about things." Chu Huan took advantage of the gap to say something, and then continued his actions.

  Then Chu Huan picked Cao Yunshang up directly to the princess, then returned to his bedroom, and closed the door firmly with his feet.

   A minute later, Chu Huan came out like an eggplant beaten by frost, with drooping eyebrows, looked back angrily at Cao Yunshang in the bedroom, and asked helplessly.

   "Isn't it the one with wings?"

  Cao Yunshang's voice of suppressed laughter came from the room: "Thank you Brother Huan!"

   Relatives came to visit, today Cao Yunshang held high the card of exemption!

   "Will the kings of the past continue to rule the Xiangjiang film industry, or today's upstarts successfully challenge the authority?" -- "Sing Tao Daily"

  As one of the newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, "Sing Tao Daily" has been paying attention to the release of "Big J Valve" and "Young Man".

   This article was published early this morning.

  In the article, "Sing Tao Daily" called Shaw Brothers the king of the past, and the black and white image as the upstart of today.

"Shaw, under the leadership of Yifu Shao, has been invincible in the Hong Kong film industry for more than ten years. The appearance of Golden Harvest made Shaw feel the pressure. I thought that Golden Harvest was already the biggest enemy of Shaw, but I didn't want black and white images to emerge suddenly this year. Golden Harvest got the lease right of Lisheng Cinemas, and then snatched Li Hanxiang from Shao Yifu's hands, becoming the company's anchor.

  Not only that, Chu Huan, the boss of Black and White Video, also spent a lot of money and bought many theaters, which was called a crazy acquisition at the time.

   Now it seems that the madness of the past has laid a good foundation for the rise of black and white images.

   "Big J Valve" has become the movie that has been screened in the most theaters since the opening of Xiangjiang this year. According to the feedback from the midnight show, the audience is very optimistic about this movie, and there were countless applause and laughter during the period.

Although the movie "Youth" is only shown in Shaw's theaters, Shaw's theaters are the largest theater company in Hong Kong. Similarly, this reporter also observed at the midnight show that during the broadcast of this movie, The applause and laughter that appeared were no worse than "Big J Valve"!

  Today, these two films will enter a full-scale release period, and this newspaper will continue to pay attention to whether the king is firmly seated on the throne, or the upstart slays the dragon."

  "Sing Tao Daily" focused its attention on Shaw Brothers and black and white images.

  The Oriental Daily, another newspaper with the largest circulation in Xiangjiang, focused on the grievances between Li Hanxiang and Zhang Che.

   "The No. 1 director in the film industry in the past vs. the No. 1 director in Hong Kong today. Who is the real No. 1 director in Hong Kong?" -- "Oriental Daily".

   "This is Li Hanxiang's third film after returning to Xiangjiang, but everyone knows that this is the battle to prove whether Li Hanxiang can defend his reputation as the number one director of Xiangjiang.

Li Hanxiang never imagined that Zhang Che, the director he looked down upon, would quickly become the number one director of commercial films in Hong Kong after he went to Taiwan to develop, let alone that Zhang Che would become the most important director on his way today opponent.

  Zhang Che, the first director of a commercial film in Hong Kong with a box office of over one million, and now the number one director in the Hong Kong film industry, but he will never forget how he was humiliated by Li Hanxiang back then.

   Once you and I were out of reach, now you can only catch up with me!

  I believe this is the truest portrayal of Zhang Che’s heart, and he wants Li Hanxiang to understand that Xiangjiang is not what it used to be, and Zhang Che is the best director of commercial films in Xiangjiang.”

  Two newspapers appeared on the desks of Chu Huan and Shao Yifu almost at the same time.

  Chu Huan looked at the two newspapers, smiled and said to Li Hanxiang who was sitting opposite him: "Director Li, it's okay if you don't win now. The whole Xiangjiang River is looking at you. If you lose, it will be too embarrassing."

  Li Hanxiang laughed, and said, "It's just a gimmick that the newspaper came up with for sales. I would care about that?"

  Chu Huan joked: "But why did I hear Mr. Fang say that Director Li was extremely excited when he mentioned this movie last night when you were eating supper?"

  Li Hanxiang blushed, and said: "Young Master Huan, expose people without revealing their faults, as long as everyone understands this kind of thing."

Seeing Li Hanxiang's embarrassment, Chu Huan laughed and said, "Okay, I won't say anything, but don't worry, according to the news that just came in, although it was the morning show, the movie "Big J Valve" The box office is very good, much higher than the attendance rate of "Youth".

  I believe that next, the movie "Big J Valve" will suppress the movie "Youth" in all aspects. "

  Hearing what Chu Huan said, Li Hanxiang was also very proud.

   "Thanks to Huan Shao for your support for this movie. Without your support, I don't think this movie would have achieved what it is now."

  Chu Huan nodded, and said without humility: "I think so too."

  Hearing such immodest words from Chu Huan, Li Hanxiang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.

  Then Chu Huan asked: "Director Li, are you going to take a rest for a while, or do you have other ideas?"

  Li Hanxiang laughed and said, "I already have an idea for a new movie, and I'll bring you the script for Young Master Huan after a while!"

  Chu Huan has no doubts about Li Hanxiang's work efficiency. Filmmakers in this era are very efficient. Four or five films a year are the norm.

  If Chu Huan hadn’t appeared, in another time and space, next year, Li Hanxiang would release five movies within a year.

   This is unimaginable in later generations.

   "Okay, when the script is written, I will allocate funds for the filming."

  Chu Huan preached generously.

  Since according to the current trend, Li Hanxiang's movies can fully guarantee the sale of money, Chu Huan naturally doesn't mind Li Hanxiang improving his work efficiency, because the more movies Li Hanxiang makes, the more money he makes.

  Shanhai Theater is still carrying a high loan.

   After the two chatted for a while, Li Hanxiang left Chu Huan's room.

  When Li Hanxiang left, Fang Jianhui walked in with a smile. The trend of "The Big J Valve" was very good. At this time, it can be basically concluded that this movie may be a hit, and Fang Jianhui is naturally very happy.

  Fang Jianhui's friendship with Chu Huan made him speak more casually.

   "Brother Huan, what did you do last night? The dark circles under your eyes are too heavy. Although we are young people with strong firepower, we should exercise restraint!"

  At this time, what Chu Huan didn't want to hear the most was what happened last night. He picked up the document on the table and threw it directly at Fang Jianhui.

   "It's okay, it's okay, get out!"

  Fang Jianhui smiled and picked up the document that fell on the floor, and said, "Could it be that your confidante came to relatives yesterday?"

   "Boss Fang, have you ever seen a fist the size of a sandbag?" Chu Huan stood up with a sneer and fiddled with his wrist.

   Seeing this, Fang Jianhui hurriedly preached: "There is business, there is business!"

  Chu Huan sat back in his chair and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fang Jianhui hurriedly said: "It's like this, we can know in advance this time that someone wants to make trouble in the midnight show of "The Big J Valve" because of the existence of two hundred and five, Cai Huiling and Rachel, but I am worried that after this time After what happened, Chen Ling will suspect them, if that's the case, won't we lose these two free agents?"

  Chu Huan sneered and said, "So you are planning to dedicate yourself, what happened to Rachel?"

Fang Jianhui laughed and said: "If she took the initiative, I would definitely not refuse, but what I want to say is, should we give them some news, so that they can gain the trust over there for a longer period of time? ?”

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "You are like this, when you meet them again, you will say that you have the news that I will go to Japan in two days to expand the distribution channels in Japan."

  Japan, like Taiwan and Island, is one of the most important ticket warehouses for Xiangjiang films.

  Fang Jianhui showed an excited expression, and asked: "Brother Huan, if we can open the ticket warehouse in Japan, then we don't have to worry about the issuance of other places anymore."

Chu Huan directly poured cold water on Fang Jianhui, saying: "What are you thinking, Japan is different from Taiwan Island, the market in Taiwan Island was able to open up before, thanks to the appearance of Gu Long, but the uncertainty of this kind of thing is too high , It is basically impossible to open the Japanese distribution channel at this time."

  Seeing what Chu Huan said, Fang Jianhui was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "Then what are you going to Japan for?"

Chu Huan laughed softly and said, "My going to Japan is a personal matter and has nothing to do with the company, but during the period when I leave Xiangjiang, you must be optimistic about the company's situation, and you can't let anything happen to the company. "

   Seeing that Chu Huan did not reveal the real purpose of going to Japan, Fang Jianhui did not continue to ask, but said that he would definitely be optimistic about the company.

   In this way, the day passed, and after twelve o'clock, Chu Huan, Li Hanxiang, Xu Guanwen, Tian Ni and others were still in the company.

  They are waiting for the first-day box office of the movie "Big J Valve".

   Fang Jianhui came to speak excitedly until one o'clock in the morning.

   "The box office is out!"

Everyone immediately looked at Fang Jianhui in unison. Although everyone already knew that according to the current release trend of "The Big J Valve", the box office of this movie would definitely not be bad, but everyone still couldn't help being curious and wanted to know specific number.

   "The box office on the first day of "The Big J Valve" is" Fang Jianhui stretched his tone, looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and finally called out the number that everyone cared about.

   "197,600 Hong Kong dollars!"

   Hoo!

  After hearing this number, everyone sang a sigh of relief. This number has more than doubled that of "Dragon Tiger Fight".

  However, the number of theaters for the movie "Big J Valve" is only seven more than that of "Dragon and Tiger Fight", which is less than double.

  At this time, the box office performance of "The Big J Valve" far exceeded double, which only shows that the attendance rate of this movie has completely surpassed that of "Dragon and Tiger".

   "There is still good news, there is still good news!" Fang Jianhui continued to preach excitedly.

   "Today we have signed a contract with Anle Cinemas, and tomorrow the two theaters of Anle Cinemas will also screen "The Big J Valve."

  Hearing this good news, Chu Huan and the others were even more happy. With the two theaters of Anle Cinemas, the box office of "Big J Valve" will even drop instead of falling tomorrow.

   "There is good news!"

  Fang Jianhui completely dominated everyone's emotions at this time.

However, Chu Huan felt a little uncomfortable after seeing Fang Jianhui's shyness, and rubbed his hands, "I think your skin is itchy, what's wrong? You have to beat you before you finish everything at once? "

  The rest of the people are also gearing up.

  Fang Jianhui saw that he was outraged by the public, so he hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, everyone, we are all civilized people, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, I will say it now.

Because of the popularity of "The Big J Valve", three more independent theaters have contacted us, wanting to show "The Big J Valve", and there are still a few of them waiting to see, I believe that as long as the attendance rate of "The Big J Valve" continues to be high tomorrow If not, there will definitely be more theaters wanting to show our "Big J Valve". "

  Hearing the news, everyone finally cheered.

The attitude of independent theaters actually illustrates the gap between the two films "The Big J Valve" and "Young Man". Independent theaters also need to make money. I want to build my own cinema brand system.

   It is also good for them to have more successful movies released in their theaters.

  As for "Young Man", Chu Huan and others only found out the other party's first-day box office - 116,700 Hong Kong dollars on the second day!

   It is 80,000 Hong Kong dollars less than "The Big J Valve", and the attendance rate is not very good.

  Obviously, the audience in Xiangjiang is not very optimistic about Zhang Cheh's modern youth films.

  Subsequently, as those two newspapers said, the entire Hong Kong is paying attention to the box office battle of these two films.

   On the second day, the box office of "The Big J Valve" rose instead of falling. The single-day box office broke through the 200,000 mark, reaching 241,500 Hong Kong dollars.

  The movie "Youth" did not have such a good fortune. The box office fell in a single day, 100,500 Hong Kong dollars, and it will keep the 100,000 mark.

   On the third day, the single-day box office of "The Big J Valve" once again reversed growth, reaching 252,100 Hong Kong dollars.

  The single-day box office of "Youth" fell below the 100,000 mark, at 88,200 Hong Kong dollars.

   On the fourth day, the single-day box office of "The Big J Valve" finally began to fall, but it still held the 200,000 mark, 221,800 Hong Kong dollars!

   "Youth" single-day box office, 73,500 Hong Kong dollars.

   In this box office battle, "The Big J Valve" won a complete victory, and the black-and-white video also defeated Shaw Brothers, the giant of the Hong Kong film industry.

From the very beginning, Xiangjiang media focused on the box office battle between "The Big J Valve" and "Young Man". Can it break Li Xiaolong's monopoly on the box office of Xiangjiang movies?

  Before this, Xiangjiang's box office record was 4.4314 million Hong Kong dollars held by Li Xiaolong's "Fist of Fury".

   And now the movie "The Big J Valve" is so popular that many film practitioners can't even imagine it.

  Everyone wants to see if this movie can break Li Xiaolong's record.

When the movie "The Big J Valve" was released for 20 days, the box office of the movie broke through the 4 million mark, and then the black and white image announced the postponement of the release time of "The Big J Valve", and then the box office of the movie was dropping Chasing the box office record of "Fist of Fury".

  When "The Big J Valve" was released for 30 days, the box office broke through the 4.5 million mark, officially breaking the box office record held by "Jing Fu Men" for less than a year.

  When the news spread in Xiangjiang, the one-day box office of "The Big J Valve" ushered in a reverse growth again. Many people wanted to see why this movie broke Li Xiaolong's box office odds.

   Finally, when the film was released, the box office was as high as 4.6772 million Hong Kong dollars.

   It set a box office record for Chinese-language movies since the opening of Xiangjiang.

   "Unfortunately, if the movie is released next year, the box office will definitely be higher."

  After "The Big J Valve" broke Xiangjiang's movie box office record, Fang Jianhui preached to Chu Huan with some regrets.

  Because according to Xiangjiang’s new policy, the ticket price will be raised once next year.

  But Chu Huan is very satisfied with the current box office record.

   There will be movies released next year, so there is no need to worry about the record.

  In addition, Xiangjiang media also analyzed the movie "Big J Valve" that broke Xiangjiang's box office record, and believed that the most important one was the overwhelming publicity of black and white images for this movie before it was released.

  This successfully aroused the curiosity of Xiangjiang audience.

  Everyone wants to see what this movie is like, and it can make black-and-white images so cost-effective.

   Such an analysis has also made many film companies in the Xiangjiang film industry begin to pay attention to the importance of publicity.

  In fact, it was precisely because of Chu Huan's publicity that the film's box office reached a height that was not reached in another time and space.

  In another time and space, the box office of the movie "The Big J Valve" was only 3.4647 million Hong Kong dollars, which is more than one million less than this time and space.

  The box office does not represent revenue. After the release of "The Big J Valve", the black and white video also calculated how much revenue the movie brought to the company.

First of all, this movie will share 20% of the box office share of Shanhai Cinemas, and at the same time, the subsidy fees of those independent theaters that screened this movie, because this movie is a popular movie, when negotiating the subsidy fee with the other party, It also has more voice.

  On average, it takes almost 30% of the box office in all independent theaters.

  In this case, the black-and-white image got back about 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and after deducting the filming cost and promotional cost of the film itself, the actual profit of the black-and-white image was about 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

  When this figure was obtained, the entire black and white video was very happy, and Chu Huan was even happier. After all, Shanhai Theater is also his own, and he has benefited more.

   In addition, it is the external release of this movie, and every penny earned by the black and white video will be earned.

  In fact, this film did not live up to the expectations of the black and white images. Under Shaw Brothers’ overseas distribution operation, the film finally brought 8.15 million Hong Kong dollars to the black and white images in other cities.

  A movie earns more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

  However, the income from the box office in other places will not be credited to the black and white video account until the end of the year.

  Time is pulled back to the present.

  The hot release of "The Big J Valve" made everyone very happy with the black and white film. It was also on such a day that Hong Jinbao's new film "San De Monk and Pound Rice Six" was launched.

  But this time Chu Huan did not participate in the opening ceremony of "San De Monk and Chong Rice Six".

  Chu Huan was paying attention to another matter during this time.

  On the third day of the release of "The Big J Valve", Bao Tianming found Chu Huan, and calmly said to Chu Huan: "The matter has been settled, and the other party should start to do it in a few days."

  Chu Huan nodded, and then asked: "How is the negotiation between Brother Cheng and Lin Jiang?"

Bao Tianming said: "It was Master Su who came forward to negotiate with eldest brother, took part of the money, and redeemed his people back, and I also found out that Lin Jiang had already sent his family out of Xiangjiang. He himself hasn't appeared at the Black Cat Nightclub in the past two days!"

  Chu Huan chuckled, and said, "This is what it should be. If he can go to the Black Cat Nightclub swaggeringly at this time, wouldn't it appear that I have no deterrent power!"

  Bao Tianming continued: "One more thing, Big Brother Cheng has been looking for me several times in the past two days, and wants to have a meal with you!"

  The two of them didn't meet each other before, but now that the eldest brother Cheng helped Chu Huan with something, he naturally wanted to deepen the relationship with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan thought for a while, and said: "Let's make an appointment tonight. Although we don't like this person, we still have to meet him. As for the rest, you should make up your own mind!"

  Neither Chu Huan nor Bao Tianming had forgotten that the reason why Bao Tianming was arrested by Lin Jiang's people was that his elder brother Cheng sold Bao Tianming.

  The current cooperation between the two parties is just to get what they need, but the grievances will definitely not be forgotten!

"Ok!"

   Not today, thank you everyone~
