Monday, 28 July 2003, morning.

Almost all newspapers in China have given important reports with capital letters on their relevant pages - "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" won the top of the weekly box office list!

Or: "Golden Stage" was released coldly, and the box office in the first week did not meet expectations!

The morning news of many TV stations also reported on this for a long time-

At the previous premiere ceremony, director Qin Wei once confidently said that he expects the box office of his second commercial film "Golden Stage" to exceed 150 million in the first week, and the total box office to exceed 500 million. Now, in the first week of its release, the box office of "Golden Stage" unexpectedly did not meet expectations, only more than 110 million, and its total box office expectation of 500 million is probably disappointed......!

…………

Because the showdown between the sequel of "Huang Feihong" and "Golden Terrace" is the most hotly discussed focus event in the entertainment industry in the past week, or even in the past few weeks, as soon as the box office situation of last week was released, "Golden Terrace" pounced, but "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" continued to stand strong, and immediately attracted the strong attention of the whole people - it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country was shocked!

As we all know, Qin Wei is a master-level super director, the box office record created by the last movie "The Door of Life and Death" has not been broken so far, and the new movie "Golden Stage" has a huge investment, and there are also blockbuster stars such as Border Defense and Fu Hongxue, and before, public opinion across the country from top to bottom, from experts, to ordinary people, basically agreed that this movie would definitely be a big hit, and it may even hit a new record at the domestic box office, however...... The reality is so unexpected!

So caught off guard!

At the premiere ceremony, when Qin Wei said that he hoped to exceed 150 million in the first week, the domestic media reported that they used words like "conservative" to evaluate director Qin Wei's expectations, and so many media and experts also optimistically gave a box office expectation of 180 million to 200 million in the first week.

Therefore, many people will subconsciously have an illusion, that is, the scene where the first part of "The Gate of Life and Death" and "Huang Feihong" grabbed the box office last year, and steadily suppressed "Huang Feihong" from the beginning of its release, seems to be staged again, but this time, Qin Wei's movie has changed its name, and "Huang Feihong" has also changed its director, and it is the second part!

But now......

Big surprise!

…………

Jinghua Film, General Manager's Office.

Yuan Ke held the summary of the box office situation of the domestic film market last week sorted out by the secretary in his hand, his face was complicated, some surprised, some puzzled, and some indescribable helplessness.

The data is the official statistics released by the Film Industry Association early this morning, and there are slight adjustments in amount and attendance compared to the data that were hastily compiled in the middle of the night last night.

But basically a large number is impossible to go wrong.

In fact, after watching the electronic version of the rough statistical version last night, Yuan Ke was already surprised once, so that he didn't sleep well this night, turning over and over, but when he came to work today, when he arrived at the office, he got this accurate statistical version again, and when he looked at it again, he still couldn't control the surprise in his heart.

It is the summer season in July, the prime period, and the showdown between the two blockbusters that want stars and stars, word-of-mouth and word-of-mouth, and topics and topics, however, the big showdown that countless media and so-called experts predicted that Mars will hit the earth in the last week does not seem to be so intense.

And the idea that everyone had unanimously expected that the domestic weekly box office market could once again impact the record has obviously been completely disappointed - last week's domestic film market was only 324.76 million!

Even 330 million didn't survive, although this data itself is not low, but it is obviously far from the 350 million or even 400 million that everyone expected!

Because ...... first week of the release of "Golden Stage", and it was released nationwide at the same time on Monday, this is a full week, and the box office is only ...... 110.74 million!

barely passed 110 million, which is far from the first-week box office target of 150 million that Qin Wei confidently said at the press conference!

Therefore, in fact, this week began with the release of "Golden Stage" on Monday, although it was only some rough statistics, but the box office statistics every day will surprise Yuan Ke. In the first two days, he repeatedly asked his secretary to check whether the statistics were wrong, but from the third day, he knew that there was no need.

"Golden Terrace", pounced.

It's just that you will still be surprised, and you will still be surprised!

I still can't understand it!

Up to now, when I saw that rough statistics last night, this kind of surprise has not faded, but has become more and more heavy--that is Qin Wei! A movie master! That is a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million!

How can it pounce?

On the contrary, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", it has reached the second week, and the momentum is unabated!

Yuan Ke moved his gaze up again and fell on "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement".

Last week's domestic box office charts -

first place, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement", 142.86 million, with a total historical box office of 336.51 million. Producer, distributor, Minghu Culture.

second place, "Golden Terrace", 110.74 million, first week. Producer and distributor: Huafei Film and Television.

third place, "Pirates of the Caribbean", 28.02 million, with a total historical box office of 149.6 million. Publisher: Oriental Media Group.

fourth place, "The Return of the Lord of the Rings", 19.42 million, with a total historical box office of 249.77 million. Publisher: Tenglong Film and Television Culture Communication Company.

……

Someone knocked on the door outside, Yuan Ke answered, and then saw Zhao Meicheng push the door and walk in.

Seeing that Yuan Ke was still holding the information to look at, Zhao Meicheng said: "Hey, what about watching it?

While speaking, he still looked a little gloating, and he didn't care about the new outline in his hand, but said with a smile: "It didn't exceed 100 million in the first week, and the reputation is very poor! Lao Qin, planted! I heard that he scolded Li Qian and Minghu Culture in the hotel, not only did many people in the crew hear it, but even the waiters in the hotel heard it clearly, and the news couldn't be covered and spread out!"

Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and said contemptuously: "I am willing to gamble and lose! How did you say that? That's what he said, saying that since it's the summer season, it proves that you are ready to fight against the most awesome films, and scold, grass, something!"

Since he came in, Yuan Ke didn't speak, just watched him complain there, and at this time, he couldn't help but sigh faintly, "The QQ pop-up window is really fierce!"

Zhao Meicheng waved her hand and said loudly: "It has nothing to do with that! In fact, many people guessed in advance that "Huang Feihong" should continue to sell more than 100 million this week, and many people estimated that this film should be between 120 million and 150 million! You see, even the scope is not wrong, it is 140 million! The key is that "Golden Stage" itself can't do it!"

After a pause, he said: "Grass! I thought Lao Qin would be able to explode another 200 million in the first week this time, but it turned out to be more than 100 million!

Yuan Ke pursed his lips and suddenly said, "Old Zhao, I know that over the years, you have been very annoying to Qin Wei." ”

Zhao Meicheng nodded immediately, "Well, yes, I'm just annoying him! I'm annoyed that I think I'm a movie master, like a grandmaster! Grass! People can still talk about you, but you don't know the height of the sky when you can make people hold it? Do you really think you're a master?"

"! No, it's pounced! And the reputation is very bad! I don't think you're a master!"

Yuan Ke waited for him to finish speaking, and then suddenly said again: "Lao Zhao, you haven't thought about it, what if you wait until our film is released and you pounce?"

Zhao Meicheng was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Yuan Ke, and immediately smiled, "I said what are you doing this morning, this is, I always look at the box office, I don't know, I think you are Hu Fei......!

The laughter stopped, he waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "Qin Wei pounced, it doesn't mean that I will pounce!"

…………

Oriental Media Group, Chairman's Office.

Zhou Yanghua sat behind his desk with a heavy face.

On the sofa in the reception area, the general manager and deputy general manager of the author are slipping away.

Except for Xiong Chengchao, who is currently on a business trip, the senior management of the Oriental Media Group has all arrived - but, everyone has arrived, everyone has sat down, but for many minutes, not even a single person has spoken!

Everyone knows that at this time, the chairman must be holding back his anger!

No one wants to poke a hornet's nest at this time!

However, no one spoke for such a long time, and the atmosphere was depressing, which can be imagined.

The high-level people didn't even dare to breathe.

As the general manager, Zong Chengze sat on the side with his back to Zhou Yanghua, bowing his head, looking like he was thinking, not saying or moving.

Finally, I don't know how many minutes have passed, Zhou Yanghua slowly exhaled a breath, and suddenly asked, "What did Xiong Chengchao do?"

The two vice presidents of the theater line glanced at each other, and then subconsciously looked up at Zong Chengze opposite. But Zong Chengze didn't even raise his head, just pretended not to see anything.

Forced to be helpless, one of the vice presidents had to say with a sad face: "Mr. Xiong got sick last Tuesday, he didn't say what the specific illness was, and we don't know very well, he just said that he had already asked for leave for you!"

Zhou Yanghua frowned, and he was about to slap the table, but suddenly thought that it seemed that last Tuesday, Xiong Chengchao had indeed sent his secretary to send a leave note!

At that time, "Golden Terrace" had just been released, because he had killed his previous suggestion, thinking that he was making a little mood, so he didn't care, and the fake note was sent, so he didn't ask again, and thought that it was estimated that he would go home for a few days, otherwise he would go out to play for a few days, and come back to see it when the time came, "Golden Terrace" The box office exploded, and it is estimated that even if there is dissatisfaction, it will disappear, after all, after watching it for so many years, Zhou Yanghua feels that he still knows him very well Xiong Chengchao: although he is a person who admits death, but if the wrong person is him, he will definitely have the courage to face it.

However, then, as the box office report of "Golden Terrace" came up day by day, Zhou Yanghua became more and more shocked the more he watched, although almost every time he saw the box office report, he would think of Xiong Chengchao, and then have some faint remorse, but he forgot that Xiong Chengchao had taken leave.

Now that he thinks about it, he must be angry!

Because it turns out: his judgment was actually right again!

And three times in a row!

Grass tower three times in a row!

When "Red Sorghum", because he wanted to suppress Minghu Culture, in the end, Minghu Culture refused to add copies to his side without hesitation, and he resisted it, so he had to take advantage of the situation and give an order to let the theater party fully support Lu Ping's "Bad Life".

Then, "Red Sorghum" sold nearly 600 million, and the Oriental Cinema Line only drank a sip of soup with a family as big as it! With a box office of more than 570 million, the Oriental Cinema Line only got 30 million!

followed by "Big Names", this time, Oriental Cinema didn't even drink the soup!

It's more than 570 million again!

At the same time, of course, my side is a film that fully supports me, but "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" is a miserable one!

And now, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" has been released, and the relationship between Oriental Media Group and Minghu Culture Group has been quite poor, and his side naturally fully supports "Golden Stage", and even he did not hesitate to donate his past suspicions and personally attended the premiere of "Golden Channel".

However...... Even Qin Wei was planted!

After thinking about it, he felt that he seemed to make a call to Xiong Chengchao, after all, from beginning to end, his decision as the general manager of the theater chain has always been correct, which fully shows his ability!

But come to think of it, this guy is very ignorant!

Now is the time when I, the chairman, are the most embarrassed and annoyed, can't you take the initiative to come over and give in? Don't you want to think about it, at this time I am already very angry in my heart, and I have to call you again to persuade you, and I can't double the discomfort and anger in my heart?

Forget it, wait, he'll be back in a few days!

What's sick, bullshit is sick, that guy is just holding his breath!

It should probably be gone in a few days!

When he is angry and comes back, I will find another opportunity to comfort him with a few words, and apologize as much as possible, and promise to interfere as little as possible in the future in the affairs of the theater chain!

Thinking of this, he sighed again, and then said, "Let's talk about it!"

No one spoke.

Zhou Yanghua waited for a long time, and found that no one spoke, he was a little stunned, and his anger suddenly jumped up for some reason, and he stood up, "talking, dumb?"

Bad condition!

Ask for a monthly pass for encouragement!
