Chapter Forty-Eight: Turning into an End and Protecting Flowers
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for a recommendation vote! Ask for a collection!
Two days later.
Wu Xiaozu asked Jiang Zhiqiang to drag Liang Jiahui and began to burn copies of the movie, and invited a group of reporters and paparazzi to witness each incineration.
The paparazzi happily rushed over to witness the "shock", and the cooperation between the two sides was endless.
"Burn a theater every day!" was the slogan that Wu Xiaozu taught them.
Burning copies from one theater a day, slowly reducing the screening of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night". At the same time, the theater vacated was quickly released on "Dao Ma Dan".
Some people sigh that Jiang Er knows less about the times and is a handsome man!
Some people lamented that Jiang's family affairs were overbearing!
There will always be people who will interpret this in various ways.
Someone sighed secretly.
Alas!
See, how domineering the golden princess is!
If you can't wait for seven days, you will force others to release their own movies. It also has people burn copies in advance to reduce screenings.
The rumors are rambling, who can see the real hidden bends and curves inside? I am afraid that it is difficult to figure out the truth and falsehood except for the parties involved.
The most important thing in business is to make money. If there are times when it's easier to work together than to make money alone, why resist?
Jiahe and Debao teamed up to fight against the golden princess, and the golden princess was not stupid, at this time, would the Jiang family throw an olive branch and not accept it?
Do you really think that Zou Wenhuai and Pan Disheng are vegetarians?
……
The trick of counting down the film and burning copies is the most exciting for the wandering audience.
These viewers, who were still wandering, felt that there were still two or three days to watch, and they could watch it or not.
took a look at it this time, but found that if you don't watch this "legendary" horror movie, you really won't have a chance to see the real face.
Suddenly, a group of curious audiences came to watch the movie.
The huge countdown is 5 days, and the colors are becoming more and more dazzling and abrupt. Always remind the general public that a "historical" film is on the road to extinction!
There is a long queue in the theater, and the crowd is surging, so it is not too hot. Under the protest of the "attentive audience", the theater found its conscience and guaranteed to screen "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" 24 hours a day. It is played in the early hours of the night. That's what makes enthusiastic fans give up!
Some young people who had nothing to do at night walked into the theater again with their horses.
Throughout the theater, the screams of women continued. I don't know if I was scared or inserted.
This can be regarded as "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" leaving a trail of water and a trace in the spring years of these young people
If someone does the math carefully, they will know how clever the trick of "Butcher on a Rainy Night" is.
Most of the people who come to watch the movie during the day are people over the age of 30 who are curious. Most of them were stimulated by the news to witness this "No. 1 horror film in Hong Kong".
When night came, those trendy young people gathered in the theater to soak horses and watch movies. It not only did not delay, but also increased the number of screenings. After careful calculation, the number of screenings has not decreased, but has increased a lot. At the same time, it also earned more box office of "Sword and Horse".
Sometimes, the decision to make a sacrifice is actually to be more brilliant. It's like spring mud protecting flowers. The next film is willing to be spring mud, so that this epiphany will become more and more brilliant.
Those theater owners who hesitated to change gears some time ago were dumbfounded! "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" turned out to be alive, and there was a return to the light!
At this time, those who can't understand it can really jump into Victoria Harbour!
Jiang Ershao's struggle before death was simply unique! If he knew that they thought like this, Jiang Ershao would have yelled: I TM committed suicide!
The shameless trick of retreating was given a bad start by Wu Xiaozu! The citizens were happy to see the countdown of the days, and more and more citizens were willing to enter the "24-hour" theater to watch the "first horror movie in history."
Jiang Zhiqiang spoke so loudly for the first time in Antai.
is so big that it eclipses his brother and makes his old mother happy. Especially his old bean, he has been flattered by his ears from time to time recently!
As soon as 7 days passed, "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" was off as scheduled, and reporters across Hong Kong reported it again.
The farce of the first boycott of the lower gear in Hong Kong has also come to an end.
Golden Harvest.
Zou Wen missed a sentence that the afterlife was terrifying. When the salted fish in "Butcher on a Rainy Night" turned over, he vaguely understood the power of this move.
The Hong Kong Island film industry has been promoting positively for decades, and for the first time, there has been negative hype! This kind of operation is breathtaking, and at the same time, I also admire Jiang Ershao's method of secretly displaying the cang.
"I was taught this time!" He Guanchuan shook his head and sighed: "The Jiang family has produced a thousand-mile horse. After a pause, he said, "I don't know what Old Ghost Lei will think......
"There is no right or wrong money, Lei Lao Ghost will definitely take the initiative to call and communicate with Jiang Lao Fox. Zou Wenhuai frowned and said, "Reduce publicity and prepare to take over the film." ”
Hearing this, He Guanzan was stunned.
Is this soft?
Glancing at Zou Wenhuai, who was as usual with a pale face, he shook his head. With what he knows about the old guy, it's not his style. At the most difficult moment, he didn't bow his head to Shaw Brothers, and this wind and rain did not make old friends soften.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Seeming to know what his old friend was worried about, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "The Jiang family's methods make me understand one thing......
"The stones of other mountains can attack jade!"
…………
"The Butcher on a Rainy Night" is down!
10.12 million!?
As soon as the box office results came out, everyone was dumbfounded and shocked. The many eyes staring at Antai also shattered their glasses and were shocked.
Tens of millions of films are released?!
Tens of millions are still second, the problem is that this movie represents a small investment and a big return!
For a while, the Hong Kong Island movie went astray again......
Although I knew that the box office was recorded every day, I was shocked when the total box office results were summed up.
Ask yourself, if there was no incident in "Sword and Horse", would the box office of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" exceed 10 million?
The answer is no!
The box office of the movie in the first week was 3.35 million, even if the reputation is good, but the audience of this type of film is fixed, and it is too normal to dive by 40% or 50% in the second week. Next, we have to slowly boil up the box office.
Before the end of the stall, it was already a surprise that the final box office could be five or six million. Absolutely impossible. At the same time, how many theaters, publicity, and labor resources are occupied, and how much will the cost increase?
It's no wonder that when Jiang Zhiqiang saw the report, he was so excited that his face turned red, and there was a sense of unreality like in a dream.
It's only been released for three weeks, and the box office of 10.12 million is definitely worth it!
"10 million?10 million?" Fei Cheng muttered dumbfounded.
Luo Dong and Su Liyao also swallowed dryly. For the first time, everyone felt that the release of "Sword and Horse" didn't seem to be a bad thing!
Only Wu Xiaozu was silent and drank tea quietly.
In the Hong Kong Island film industry, he is just a pawn, and Xu Yi is a car (ju).
Wu Xiaozu was very glad that Xu Yi was a good opponent, because he couldn't look down on the pawn. The Lei family is also a good opponent, because they can't get out of the handsome position, and they don't look down on the pawns.
This time it was a fluke, and after a battle against the water, the pawn crossed the river and won the bet.
In addition to the share he should get, he also has Jiang Zhiqiang's trust.
In the Hong Kong Island film circle, Wu Xiaozu made his own voice for the first time. Maybe this sound is not so heroic, translucent, and amazing.
But he really felt the heat of the Hong Kong Island film industry.
When this movie was released, the film studio announced that it would spend tens of millions of dollars to create a monster drama. I ordered a wave of heat!
Ten million is exaggerated, but seven or eight million should be fine. Xu Yu is also going to click on his talent attribute in costume dramas.
Looking at Xu Yu's news, Wu Xiaozu was stunned.
Wu Yusen's Aesthetics of Violence. Xu Yu's elegant feelings. This kind of top director has found his own style concept. What about yourself?
"Azu, hurry up and make another drama, can you?" Jiang Zhiqiang stared at Wu Xiaozu with great interest, "The market is so hot, do you understand the printing press?"
"Okay. Wu Xiaozu agreed without even thinking about it.
Why should the eighteenth-tier directors consider the style and concept of the great director? Make a good movie step by step, and make money to talk about other things.
Although "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" has come to an end, the film industry is still very lively.
During this period, Golden Harvest's "Sea Flower" and Debao's "Accidental" were defeated by the "Sword and Horse" jointly screened by Princess Jin and Antai and other theaters, and they all chose to downgrade the film schedule and launch new dramas to deal with it.
Golden Harvest Cinemas, the successor film is "Magic Jade", produced by three small companies, the lineup is not weak, directed by Wang Fatzi, starring the popular "singer" Liu Dehua, which has attracted a lot of attention. Debao Cinemas is pushing its own company's new drama "Law Enforcement Pioneer". The Big Three also suspended the clearance.
The three major mutual assaults continued, and this time Jiahe and Debao faced off again. Princess Jin was a spectator.
The box office is aggregated, but the box office share cannot be cashed out immediately.
The fastest first CD will take about a week to get it, and it will take a month or two for all of it to arrive.
From this point of view, Jiang Zhiqiang is really happy. For other companies, it is the norm to drag on for a year and a half. I don't know how many production companies have been dragged to death because they were withheld from the box office, and ended up bankrupt.
The whole drama has a total box office of 10.12 million. After deducting government taxes and related tax payments and fees, there is about 9.7 million left. According to the sharing terms set by Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang, theaters and theaters will win 70% of the 9.7 million box office, 6.79 million!
Jiang Zhiqiang said it well, "Everyone is a businessman, and they will only make a move if they are profitable." "It's not profitable, why should people help you?
As a distributor, Antai Pictures will enjoy an 8% share of the box office, which is 776,000. Then there is 22% of 1024 Lokomotiv Studios, 2.134 million.
However, before that, Antai Pictures had to deduct 250,000 yuan for pre-promotion and publicity expenses, and 50,000 yuan for processing and copying films.
It is also necessary to deduct follow-up donations and expenses of 150,000 yuan (half of each party) and 150,000 post-publicity expenses, adding up to 600,000 yuan. In the end, there were about 1.534 million left in the hands of Wu Xiaozu.
Of course, this is the simplest algorithm, and the real account sharing can only be determined after the actuarial calculation of the professional accountants of Antai Pictures. In general, the amount of money received is lower than predicted.
This is the same as the bonus award. It's always less than expected!
Jiang Zhiqiang also waved his hand and set up a banquet at the hotel to celebrate the box office success of "Butcher on a Rainy Night".
