"President, the box office statistics are out!"

In an office of Universal Cinema Company, the lights were bright at this time, and many people inside were busy, when suddenly an employee who was burying his head in the calculator said loudly.

The abrupt sound immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office.

Jiang Zhiqiang, who had been waiting on the sidelines, immediately asked, "How much?"

The employee immediately read out a string of numbers: "President, the box office in Hong Kong on the first day is 2,597,465 Hong Kong dollars!"

After the employee finished reading, the office was silent for a while, and then the office remembered the enthusiastic cheers and applause.

"Wow!"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Hahaha......"

Jiang Zhiqiang and Wu Siyuan couldn't help laughing.

In an instant, the entire office was like a sea of joy, and the sound of cheering was very obvious in the quiet early morning night, and the reporters waiting downstairs at the headquarters of Universal Cinemas couldn't help but be restless.

After the cheers, everyone still wore happy smiles on their faces.

Jiang Zhiqiang suddenly said to Wu Siyuan: "Mr. Wu, I remember that there will be no more than five movies that will exceed 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office on the first day, and they are all released by us, right? The box office of "T" once again set a new box office record on the first day of Hong Kong?"

Wu Siyuan nodded with a smile and confirmed: "Yes, "Alien E· "T" is the fifth film in Hong Kong to break the box office of 2 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day, and it is also the first film to break the box office of 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars, once again breaking the box office record!"

Jiang Zhiqiang said happily: "Haha, I'll just say, the quality of this movie is very high, and the box office will definitely be a hit!"

Wu Siyuan said as a matter of course: "Alien E· "T" has invested 50 million US dollars, and it has been converted into more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, of course, the quality will not be bad, and the reputation of today's one-day survey is very good. ”

"It's no problem for the local box office in Hong Kong to exceed 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but I don't know if it can exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars?"

In the end, Wu Siyuan couldn't help but look forward to it.

Generally speaking, the box office in the first week can account for 35 to half of a movie's total box office.

Movies with good word-of-mouth and full potential will have a lower proportion of the box office in the first week of the total box office, and vice versa.

And now "Alien E· The box office of "T" on the first day was nearly 2.6 million Hong Kong dollars, and according to past experience, the box office in the first week can reach about 13 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the ratio range of 35 to 50 percent.

The total box office will be between HK$26 million and HK$37 million.

However, with "Alien E· The word-of-mouth of "T", the proportion of the box office in the first week should be about 40%, so the total box office can exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

It's just that these are estimates, everything is changing, experience is not absolute, whether it can break through 30 million Hong Kong dollars, Wu Siyuan didn't dare to pack tickets.

It can only be said that in the case of no collapse of word of mouth and no accidents, there is a sixty or seventy percent chance!

A total box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars!

Jiang Zhiqiang's mood couldn't help but stir, his eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly: "Mr. Wu, things are man-made, if you have the opportunity, you have to create this record if you say anything, this will benefit us too much!"

Wu Siyuan nodded heavily and said in agreement: "That's right!"

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang looked at the employees who were still in the office and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, let's go to have a supper together later, fill our stomachs and then go home." ”

"Wow, thank you, President!"

"The president is wise!"

The employees in the office cheered again, and it had been five or six hours since dinner, and everyone present was already hungry.

"Let's go, by the way, report the box office data to the reporters, it's not easy for them to wait below. ”

"Okay. ”

......

When an employee reported the data to the reporters downstairs, the reporters were also shocked by the number, and after a heated discussion, they rushed back to their respective newspapers with the results, and they had to bring the data back as soon as possible, so that the newspaper could print tomorrow's newspaper as soon as possible.

Early the next morning.

Practitioners in the film and television industry are the first to buy entertainment newspapers at various newsstands, and the first choice is, of course, Jiuding Newspaper's flagship newspaper in the entertainment industry, Entertainment Daily.

When they saw the first-day box office of nearly HK$2.6 million, everyone was shocked by this figure.

This data is like a depth charge, and the impact is extremely far-reaching.

As for the general public, they were also shocked by this number when they read the newspapers, and then they were shocked by the "Alien E· The movie "T" aroused curiosity, and pondered the right opportunity to go to Universal Cinema.

Different from the sighs of the melon-eating masses and the awe of film and television practitioners, the CEOs of many film and cinema companies who are the frontal competitors of Galaxy Pictures and Universal Cinemas are uncomfortable.

Because in the coming month, "Alien E· The film "T" will hang over their heads and reap the box office wantonly.

Some studios that were still holding on to a fluke mentality and planned to release the film in late June and early July were surprised by the fact that "Alien E· After the terrifying first day of the box office, the last luck was also shattered, and they all chose to postpone the release time.

Small companies can be postponed if they are flexible, but companies like Golden Harvest Film Company and Shaw Brothers Film Company, which have theater chains, are sitting on wax.

......

On the morning of June 13, Golden Harvest Film Company.

Wrinkled Huai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng gathered in Wrinkled Huai's president's office, which was full of smoke and the atmosphere was a little dull.

All three were killed by the "Alien E· T" was spooked by its terrifying first-day box office.

Long......

Wrinkled Huaicai broke the dullness, and said in a somewhat sour tone: "The gap between Golden Harvest and Galaxy Film Company is getting bigger and bigger, and I can only look at it......"

He Guanchang took a deep breath of cigarette, then let out a long puff of white mist, and said with emotion: "Old wrinkle, this can't be helped, who let Galaxy Film Company rely on the Jiuding Consortium, we lost in resources, from production, distribution, publicity and other links, our strength is not as good as others, and it is normal to compare." ”

Wrinkle smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Yes, the industrial chain of the god of stocks is too perfect, and it has been monopolized since the initial talent training in the film and television industry, and all the way to the final film awards, there is no link that is not controlled." ”

Liang Feng, who has been smoking silently, also sighed: "Their industrialized film manufacturing process is also a key. ”

......

The more they talked, the more desperate the three felt about surpassing Galaxy Films.

Seeing this situation, Wrinkle Huai suddenly came to his senses and ended the topic directly: "Okay, let's not be angry with others to destroy our prestige, at least we can still produce a lot of outstanding movies every year, and we can also win some awards, compared to us, Shao Lao Liu is the most uncomfortable." ”

Wrinkles said this, He Guanchang and Liang Feng's moods suddenly improved a lot.

That's right, under the competition of Galaxy Film Company, although Golden Harvest is very hard to operate, it still has a lot of profits, and it is also the second largest film company in Xiangjiang, and Shao Yifu is the most uncomfortable!

Not only was it crushed by Universal Satellite TV in the TV field, but it was also beaten back in the film field.

In order to compete with Galaxy Film Company, Shao Laoliu also made a desperate bet last year and invested 150 million Hong Kong dollars in "Blade Runner", which began to be promoted last month. ”

"I heard that Warner Bros. Pictures didn't plan to release it in Xiangjiang so soon, but Shao Laoliu saw "Alien E· T" is going to be released simultaneously around the world, so it is proposed to cooperate with "Alien E· T" did a fight, and the Xiangjiang version was scheduled to be released on June 19, trying to steal chickens. ”

"But look at the current "Alien E· T" exploded at the box office, Shao Lao Liu is afraid that he will steal chickens and rice!"

"Haha......"

After listening to He Guanchang's ridicule, the three of them seemed to see the extremely depressed appearance of their old rival Shao Laoliu, and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Wrinkle's mood was much better.

But he didn't get down to business.

He said with a straight face: "Lao He, Lao Liang, "Alien E· The general trend of "T" has become a success, and he Shao Lao Liu has no way to retreat, but we don't have this burden, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky!"

"Postpone the release of "Heavenly Master's Palm" at the end of June to next month, and this month the films of other film companies will be raised, and if they don't want to, they will take the old films from before to be screened first. ”

He Guanchang and Liang Feng both had no opinion, and they didn't feel aggrieved and ashamed, but nodded as a matter of course: "No problem." ”

At ten o'clock in the morning of the same day, Golden Harvest Film Company issued a statement that the film "Heavenly Master Divine Palm" will be postponed to July 17.

After Golden Harvest took the lead, many film companies also followed suit.

After Shao Yifu, who was already in an irritable mood, got the news, he angrily scolded the wrinkled coward.

PS: Ask for tickets!
