Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 62
After the two films Chasing Girls and Martial Arts Hall, the summer file was basically over, and there were no good films to be released. That is, a horror film called Gu, which was released on September 11, was not bad. It even got a box office of over 5.2 million.
The summer file is over, followed by Christmas, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival. Although there is no concept of New Year’s films at this time, the schedule of these holidays has always been the focus of competition among film companies. General box office blockbusters also appear in these periods. in.
Project A was only finalized at the end of October, and the post-production is already in mid-November.
The reason why it took more than a month longer than expected is that during this period, Cheng Long also directed and acted in a Kung Fu film in the late Qing Dynasty, Master Long. Because Cheng Long’s own Quanwei Film Company participated in the investment, so Cheng Long was right This play is also very important.
So I allocated a lot of energy to the film of Master Long. Of course, plan A would take more time. The film of Master Long was not finished yet. After the plan was completed, Cheng Long took the crew to Taipei to shoot the rest. The lens is gone.
Speaking of going back to the plan a, it is of course to set the release time after the production is completed. The closest ones are the Christmas and New Year's Day files. Qiao Feng means that the New Year's Day file is the most suitable and can avoid the most competitive Spring Festival file.
But Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, the two leading actors of Golden Harvest Giants and Cheng Long, have to be released on January 20th during the Spring Festival.
I don’t know if I think Qiao Feng’s script will be a big hit, or I think this is Cheng Long’s first work back after breaking into Hollywood last year. It needs to be released on the hottest schedule to be worthy of Cheng Long’s identity as the highest paid actor in Hong Kong. Anyway, the people of Jiahe will be released on the Spring Festival file if they admit their death.
For the confidence of Jiahe people, Qiao Feng is also speechless. You have to say that before, you Jiahe is the overlord of the Hong Kong film scene. Only others hide your film from being released, and you do not hide others.
But today is different. New Arts City has been born. Look at the summer files. Even if there is a happy ghost, the two films of New Arts City have a total of 14 million in box office. It’s up to you Jiahe, how many box-offices your company’s films have won, I don’t want to say, it’s a little bit more than others.
Not to mention that Qiao Feng knows that the Hong Kong film industry in 1982 was a year of great explosion. Just the Spring Festival file has the best partner produced by Xinyicheng1, director Zhang Xinyan, Shaolin Temple starring Li Lianjie, and Shaw Brothers Three films including the Eighteen Martial Arts directed by Liu Jialiang were released.
And Master Long, who is directed and acted by Cheng Long, is so hurried to catch up with the Spring Festival. If such a bunch of screenings are ordinary films, the key is still heavy films.
Best Partner 1 is the first piece of the new art city's top-selling series that broke the 20 million box office record and reached more than 26 million.
Shaolin Temple is also a box office of more than 16 million yuan, allowing Hong Kong people to get to know Li Lianjie, the future emperor of Kung Fu for the first time, and to see the picturesque scenery of the great rivers and mountains in the mainland.
Although Shaw's 18 martial arts were a bit short, they also got a box office of more than 9.9 million and nearly tens of millions.
And Young Master Long is closely behind the best partner, the second-largest film at the annual box office, with a box office of more than 17.9 million.
If plan A were to squeeze in again, then the Spring Festival stalls would be a real chaos. It is not important to fight or lose. The key is that even if the number of viewers in the Spring Festival stalls is large, everyone likes to watch movies. The total number is limited, and it is also a handicap of 100 million. The profit of four movies and five movies is absolutely different.
Plan A Qiao Feng earned a 10% share of the total box office, not a fixed salary, selling more than 20 million at the box office or selling more than 10 million at the box office, it is a difference of hundreds of thousands to millions.
"No, absolutely not. Plan A will either be released on New Year's Day, then it will be postponed to the summer, but it must not be during the Spring Festival." Qiao Feng also firmly disagreed.
"how,
But Qiao Feng refused to take this set and shook his head lightly: "Mr. He, Mr. Zou, it is precisely because I have confidence in myself and know what kind of film Plan A is, I am not willing to let Plan A be in the Spring Festival file. It was released because according to the release situation over the years, the films released by various theaters in the Spring Festival stalls are all their very promising films, and most of the movies with high box office appear in the Spring Festival stalls. So many excellent movies are placed on the Spring Festival stalls. The Spring Festival stalls will undoubtedly affect each other and will dilute each other’s box office. It is clear that the two films can be released on different schedules to get 10 million, but because they are screened together, they only get 800. Ten thousand, four million are so missing, I don’t want to see such a thing on Plan A."
"According to Mr. Qiao, there will be many good films on Christmas and New Year's Day. Don’t you worry that it will dilute the box office of Plan A when it is released on New Year’s Day?" Zou Wenhuai wonders if I really don’t understand or Asked deliberately.
"Don't worry, because as far as I know, Shaw Brothers doesn't seem to have any good films on the New Year's Day file, and you don't have any Jiahe. I'm not sure about the Golden Princess, but the New Art City they rely most on seems to be set. The schedule is also in the Spring Festival, so what else is there to worry about?" Qiao Feng said with a slight smile.
He was so confident that he really bluffed Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang. He really thought he had obtained Shaw Brothers and Princess Golden's plan so early.
But in fact, Qiao Feng inferred because of the memory in his brain. Yes, it was only inferred, because the good-looking film in his mind was not released at the end of 1981, nor was it in the few days of New Year’s Day in 1982. The first best partner was released on 1.16.
"Mr. Qiao, are you so sure that it will be better at the box office to be released on New Year's Day than the Spring Festival file?" He Guanchang helped the glasses and asked unwillingly. He still thinks the Spring Festival file is more reliable.
"Of course." Qiao Feng nodded affirmatively.
"Then listen to Mr. Qiao. Put Plan A on New Year's Day, January 1st. He has a 10% share in it. I believe Mr. Qiao won't make fun of his own money. As for Ah. The film directed by Long Master Long asked him to hurry up and finish filming, and it will be released on January 20th. "Zou Wenhuai made a decision.
"Okay." He Guanchang nodded.
"Thank you Mr. Zou, time will prove that you made a very correct decision." Qiao Feng smiled and thanked him, and then winked at Zou Wenhuai.
"Hehe, I hope so." Zou Wen smiled and shook hands with Qiao Feng.
