Longteng Cinema Headquarters.

"Hello, Mr. Joe."

"Mr. Joe is early."

"Mr. Joe..."

...

Qiao Feng smiled and nodded in response until the general manager's office greeted him for the last time.

"Mr. Qiao came early." Cen Jianxun, the lion head, saw Qiao Feng come in and stood up and laughed.

"It's getting late. I started to suffer jet lag when I came back yesterday, and I slept for more than ten hours." Qiao Feng shook his head helplessly. Every time I go to the United States, jet lag is what makes him most uncomfortable.

"I also have a deep understanding of this." Cen Jianxun nodded in agreement.

"How is the box office situation recently? Is there a big explosion on New Year's Day?" Qiao Feng asked after a few chats.

Cen Jianxun shook his head.

"The situation is not good?" Qiao Feng frowned.

The situation in Hong Kong is different from that in the United States. After September in the United States, the film market has cooled down, and various operations of the awards season have begun, while the TV market has begun to lively.

This is a kind of tacit understanding between American television and film. In summer when the movie is relatively lively, TV stations will basically not broadcast elaborate dramas. In the award season from October to March and April of the following year, large investment films Basically won't get involved.

During this period of time, there will be several large-scale investment movies on the Christmas file.

Of course, this is only the basic situation, and there is also a large investment. The investors expect high-value movies to be released on such a cold schedule, and the box office is very good.

However, one was not necessarily released that year, so it would not have much impact on the ratings of TV stations.

But there is no such tacit understanding here in Hong Kong.

Regardless of whether it is wireless or ATV, well-produced TV series will be released throughout the year. It does not matter when the movie market is hot or not.

In the movie market, because of the fact that there are more holidays, movies in Hong Kong will not basically get together during the summer period of May, June, July, August, and September like American movies.

Instead, there is an extra Spring Festival stall and the other is the New Year's Day stall.

Since the New Year’s Day stall is only a few days before and after the Christmas stall, this time is a bit more popular than the US side.

Therefore, generally speaking, there are always one or two movies at the box office at this time of the year. Although it is unlikely to be in the top ten of the annual box office list, there are still the top 20.

But looking at Cen Jianxun's appearance, it seems that this New Year's Day file doesn't even have a movie like this.

Sure enough, I heard Cen Jianxun shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's quite bad. So far, whether it was just released in January or it was released in December, it has to be drawn now, and even one box office has passed. Tens of millions of films are not available. The best situation is that Ah B has BB30 starring Dudu, but it only has 8 million at the box office.

After Cen Jianxun introduced carefully, Qiao Feng finally knew how cold the New Year's Day stall was.

There were basically no major production movies released for a month. Several major film companies, namely Jiahe, released a Mr. Ye Mo in December. When it comes to the lineup, the lineup of Mr. Ye Mo is not bad.

The leading actor, Zhang Jianting, cousin, hello, is not only a well-known director but also a well-known actor.

Not to mention the heroine Li Saifeng, the first-line actress from Hong Kong.

The supporting roles are Lou Nanguang and Chen You, both of whom are well-known.

Director Liu Guanwei is also a well-known director.

But helplessly, this horror drama is not horrible. It is said that it is a comedy and it is not funny. I don’t know what I want to talk about. It is totally different.

Naturally a good lineup can hardly save a bad plot. The box office is definitely not much better. It will be drawn in two days, but the box office has just exceeded 4 million.

Qiao Feng estimated that four million yuan might not even be able to collect the production cost. The box office alone would have lost money for this film.

That is to say, relying on offline video tape income and cinema distribution, Jiahe can make a small profit.

Then there is BB30 starring Zhong Zhentao and Zheng Yuling.

This comedy is not bad at the box office. It is produced by Huang Baiming’s Oriental Film Company. Both the male and female lead actors are first-line. Although the female partner Guan Xiumei did not get a good ranking in the Hong Kong sister, but at this time, Guan Xiumei, who is still taking the pure route, looks good and has a good figure. The Heat can also attract a group of audiences.

The director Xian Qiran is obviously best at this kind of urban light comedy. The rhythm of the whole film is very good, and the contradictions and laughter are well controlled.

So although the plot is relatively old-fashioned, it can still attract a group of loyal comedy audiences.

This film is also the most impressive at the box office, but only 8 million.

And also facing the next draw, it is estimated that 9 million box office is out of play.

Except for the two films that were released before New Year's Day, there are only two films that were released just after New Year's Day and the box office is barely acceptable.

Then these two films are not all produced by big film companies.

One of them is Tiandi Xuanmen produced by Jiahe, and the other is a film company called Eagle Film Production Co., which was previously established after the establishment of the Xinbao Cinema Line.

One of the owners of this company is Huang Ying, a well-known screenwriter and writer.

However, Huang Ying is only one of the bosses. The biggest boss of this company is actually someone else. Huang Ying was recruited to the front because of his talent as a screenwriter.

Therefore, the movies produced by this company have always been shown on the Xinbao Theater.

No way, the film investment is not big, the filming is not good, and it turns out that there are external funds in it. It itself wants to compete with the Longteng Theater. Therefore, the Longteng Theater will not allow their films to be in Longteng at all. Theatrical screening.

This was after the Xinbao Cinema Line could not continue, and external funds were also drawn out, the film company was allowed to release films on the Longteng Cinema Line.

Let me talk about the quality of Jiahe's films first. Anyway, the lineup will not be bad.

The previous Mr. Ye Mo was like this, this Heaven and Earth Profound Gate was like this, even more luxurious.

Apart from anything else, Wang Cuxian alone will top Zhang Jianting and Li Saifeng.

Not to mention that there is also the English uncle Lin Zhengying as the leading male star, which is another ghost action movie.

Wang Cuxian’s costume in ancient times is really nothing to say, the fluttering dress of a fairy is really fascinating.

However, the charm of Wang Cuxian alone cannot save the same bad plot.

After its release, some newspapers commented that this Heaven and Earth Profound Gate is the worst ghost film ever made by Lin Zhengying.

Worse than Zombie Supreme.

Although the zombie supreme does not have Wang Shuxian, there is Wu Jiali.

Wu Jiali is not as good-looking as Wang Cuxian, but she is as tempting as Wang Xiaofeng as a female ghost.

And although the plot is not good, but the zombie supreme family is at least willing to spend money on the scene.

This drama is said to be the second special effects blockbuster in Hong Kong after Xu Ke's new Shushan swordsman in the promotion.

Although this kind of publicity is a lot of exaggeration, the investment is far from it, but the large-scale special effects inside are indeed rare in Hong Kong movies.

For example, the part of the senior brother inside who caused a group of corpses to attack Lin Zhengying is simply a copy of the European and American zombie movie. Then the scene of gathering all the Maoshan Taoists to catch ghosts is also very grand.

Then there is no more.

Compared to the Heaven and Earth Profound Gate, the zombie supreme, the special effects scene, is worth seeing.

And that is the dazzling effect of this special effect, so that the box office of the zombie supreme has been ahead of the world by tens of thousands.

Well, that's tens of thousands.

The result of such a big investment in the special effects scene is tens of thousands of dollars ahead of the box office.

From here, it can be seen how attractive Wang Cuixian is. It can almost be said that one person has narrowed the box office gap between the worse heaven and earth profound gate and the zombie supreme with good special effects scenes.

Although the final box office of these two movies is around six or seven million.

But looking at this point alone, Jiahe really does not lose money by asking Wang Cuxian for a big price. At least Wang Cuxian's remuneration is much less than the investment in special effects.

Wang Cuxian was happy for her to carry Qiao Feng at the box office, but he couldn't be happy for such a cold New Year's day.

"How about the Spring Festival stalls?"

Qiao Feng asked, he can only hope that the Spring Festival stalls will be stronger.
