Chapter 114: You come to play a role
"Mr. Zombie pioneered zombie comedy in Hong Kong."
"If you believe in ghosts and gods, you must watch this film, this is a guide to dealing with zombies, if you don't watch it, you won't know that you can avoid zombies by holding your breath, and glutinous rice can also ward off evil spirits."
"Mr. Zombie is a hot hit, which will surely set off a boom in zombie films and open a zombie era in Hong Kong."
"Li Saifeng is very beautiful, Qian Xiaohao is very handsome, and Xu Guanying is very ugly, but they are no match for the serious Lin Zhengying."
...............
Mr. Zombie was released for half a month, and the newspaper reported it for half a month, all kinds of interesting stories during filming, and various professional film reviews, which have been accompanied by the box office trend and began to decline.
It's really very interesting, I don't know if it's a coincidence, or it's deliberately discussed, the three films that fought before Mr. Zombie, whether it was the Shaolin Kid released on January 15th, or the best partner two released on February 5th and the New Shushan Swordsman all chose to draw at the same time after the last show was screened on March 3rd.
Needless to say, Jiahe's ambitious work Xinshu Mountain Swordsman fell behind early, and it took a total of 27 days to get a box office of more than 11 million before it was released, which is 4 million less than the 15 million box office obtained by the original time and space, so that Jiahe has to lose more in this deal.
Xinyicheng is a lot better, first of all, the best partner is another successful high-box office comedy, although the box office is not as high as the first best partner last year, but it also got more than 17 million.
It's just that its box office is much less than that of the original time and space, which was more than 23 million in the original time and space, and now it is more than 17 million, 6 million less.
This is also normal, first of all, last year's best partner failed to win the annual box office championship, and the box office did not reach the original height, which made this series not have as many audience bases as the original time and space.
Again, first there were more Shaolin kids, who were supposed to be released next year, in front to block and share the audience, and more Mr. Zombie to intercept in the back, or to choose to choose to be in such a period of time when the box office trend was declining ten days after the release of Best Partner 2, it was doomed that the box office of Best Partner 2 could not reach the height it should have.
The rest is the Shaolin Kid, this film lives up to the expectations of leftist filmmakers, and has risen to a new height on the basis of last year's Shaolin Temple box office hit.
The key is to choose a good release time, twenty days earlier, when the swordsman and the best partner of Xinshu Mountain were released, Shaolin Kid had already spent the most rapid box office growth time, most of the box office that should be harvested had been harvested, and then there was an extraordinary screening time, and Shuangnan Cinema Line was screened for forty-eight days.
Anyway, it doesn't make much money by showing other leftist films, so it is better to push up the box office of Shaolin Kid, so the result is that Shaolin Kid has won a super good box office of more than 21 million, and it has become the highest box office film produced by leftist films in Hong Kong.
Of course, the high box office is nothing, the script investment is provided by Qiao Feng, and most of the profits are also divided by Qiao Feng.
With such a ready-made example of Shaolin Kid, Hong Kong colleagues know that it is still very profitable to cooperate with leftist films, so can we also cooperate with leftist filmmakers in the future.
This is what leftist filmmakers are more valued by Yindu institutions.
Besides, although Qiao Feng makes a lot of money, he also makes a lot of money from leftist films, and Qiao Feng can't get a dime for the screening of Shaolin Kid in the mainland.
In addition to Qiao Feng's big profits in Hong Kong, the Terminator in the United States is also the first in the movie of the same period, with a box office of $8 million in the first week, and a slight decline of $7.5 million in the second week.
And unlike Hong Kong, where the general release time is only more than ten days, and the most is only a month, in North America, as long as it is a big hit, the attendance rate has not fallen to the minimum of the film, and the release time is basically a month up, and they will not draw a picture after the movie's attendance rate falls, but will reduce the scale of the screening, as much as possible to harvest the box office.
This is also because the American film industry is developed, and there are a large number of movie theaters and screens, so they can have enough screens for new films, and they can also have a small number of screens and profitable films that have been released for a long time.
Unlike Hong Kong, where there are not many cinemas and the number of screens is not large, but there are a lot of movies produced.
Time into March, Mr. Zombie is even more dominant, the daily box office has rebounded for a few days compared to before, and when it is released for a month, the total box office has reached more than 23 million, and it has successfully become the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls, and it is no surprise that it will be the annual box office champion of this year, because the original champion of the year, the best partner two, has been squeezed and even the Shaolin boy is not as good.
Lin Qingxia's I Love Nightshade filming has also been completed and started the post-production stage, Lin Qingxia, who has no job, has returned to become an otaku, and Qiao Feng has no reason to come forward, the most important thing is that he has also begun to prepare for a new movie.
On this day, after going to Zhao Yazhi's house again and chatting with Zhao Damei all night, early the next morning, in order to avoid being bumped into by the nanny, Qiao Feng left early again.
Before going home to catch up on sleep, he went to his tea restaurant to eat.
"Hey, are you waiting for me?"
Qiao Feng pushed the door in and swept it casually, and saw a familiar face, then walked over and knocked on the table and asked.
The most crowded people in the tea restaurant are often in the morning and at noon, but unlike noon, because they are in a hurry to go to work in the morning, they usually buy things and eat while walking, so there are not so many people who eat in the tea restaurant in the morning.
Not to mention that it's already past work hours at this time, and there are few people except for the nearby neighbors.
But when Qiao Feng came in, he saw someone else, still a familiar face.
The person who sat there looking down at the table and looked up blankly after waking up.
"Joe, Mr. Joe?" The man stammered a little.
Zhou Xingchi has graduated this year after studying in the night training class of the wireless training class for a year, and wireless doesn't plan to sign him, or his good friend Qi Meizhen helped, so he let wireless sign him.Then he was sent to host a children's program 430 shuttle, which is contrary to Zhou Xingchi's ideals, but he doesn't even have a job if he doesn't do this, so he can only do it happily.
Whenever he is unhappy and has to force a smile, Zhou Xingchi will think about the good opportunity to let Qi Meizhen pry Wu Jiali to invite Qiao Feng to dinner last year, if Qiao Feng doesn't release the pigeons, he may have taken a fancy to him, and then just like Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui, they have become big stars.
Of course, every time I think about it, I end up laughing at myself and laughing at myself for daydreaming.
It's just that Zhou Xingchi never thought that he would not be able to see him even when he tried his best to create an opportunity to meet, but he inadvertently saw it when he was not prepared.
Looking at Qiao Feng, who was smiling and talking to himself, Zhou Xingchi was confused.
What's even more confusing is that he didn't ask his name, nor did he ask what he was doing, and even he was so stunned that he didn't answer, Qiao Feng smiled and said to him: "I have a new film, you can play a role."
