Chapter 1103: Shame and Slap in the Face

As a major production of Zhongyuan Film Company, the treatment of "Shaolin Temple" in Xiangjiang is also unexpectedly good.

In addition to the 12 cinemas that opened several small cinema chains such as Anle, which they found themselves, there were also 30 independently operated medium and large cinemas that also joined the ranks of the premiere.

Needless to say, with such a large-scale release scale, Central Plains Film naturally understands whose credit it is.

Although those scattered movie theaters and theaters, no matter what kind of mainland film, treasure island film, or American film, as long as they see that they can make money, they will dare to go on it.

But most of the movies in the mainland, including the movies produced by their Central Plains Film Company, have very poor box office results, and they are not at all suitable for the movies of Xiangjiang fans, so there have always been no good theaters willing to play, at least only 6 of their own movie theaters, and at most 12 of them now.

Among the 30 cinemas that can be joined, the smallest is a medium-sized cinema with about 500 people, and the largest three cinemas and cinemas have more than 1,200 seats, which is definitely not lower than the number of blockbusters.

Of course, the personnel of Kirin Film Company, who is responsible for the adjustment of the theater chain, also talked directly about it with the name of "Junshao Investment" after consulting Yu Zheng, so it was natural to be recognized by most theaters and movie theaters.

After all, everyone can see that over the years, Yin Jun's vision has never been missed.

How can a movie that can make him make a decision to invest 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but how can it still be that kind of inexplicable bad movie?

In fact, the feedback at the box office on Thursday the 21st did not come as everyone thought.

Even the slogan of "Yin Jun Investment" was played in the movie promotion, but the impression of Xiangjiang audiences on mainland movies is still very rustic, and there is no cool old concept, so the attendance rate on the first day is generally less than 300,000, and the box office result is only 380,000, which simply frightens a group of theater owners.

If they hadn't made an agreement with Kirin Films, they would have had to decide whether to quit after the first weekend, and if they hadn't thought about releasing Kirin Films' movies in the future, they would have mostly run out the next day.

Because of the relationship with "Qilin Daily", the relationship between Xiangjiang's media and Yin Jun is not good.

As early as arranging the scale of 42 cinema screenings for "Shaolin Temple", a group of newspapers launched various criticisms of Yin Jun.

Even if this was not a decision made by Yin Jun, but made by Yu Zheng, they all scolded Yin Jun, saying that Yin Jun was "kneeling and licking the mainland", "having no conscience as an artist", "oppressing the cinema with power", etc., if people who don't know, they still think how arrogant and domineering Yin Jun is.

Now the box office on the first day is so bleak, the box office of 380,000 Hong Kong dollars not only set a new low for such a large-scale joint screening of 42 movie theaters, but also broke Yin Jun's "movie myth", which is the worst of all Yin Jun's investment movies, which is simply a miserable result.

At this moment, they were like taking stimulants, and they collectively burst out with enthusiasm.

"Is it the shattering of the myth, or is it the result of arrogance? Yin Jun has finally learned the most painful lesson!" - Oriental Daily

"Shaolin Temple" is not worthy of its name, it is just a gimmick, without connotation and attractiveness, Mr. Yin Jun should review himself!" - "Ming Pao".

"Why do we worship Yin Jun so much? I always think that his choice is the best? Now that the fact of slapping the face is here, you should not overestimate Yin Jun too much!" - Hong Kong Economic Journal.

"Yin Jun's nature has gradually revealed, he is no longer the genius boy we like and admire, but a sinister person who thinks about the mainland and wants to turn Xiangjiang into a second mainland! But God will not let him succeed, and the boycott of "Shaolin Temple" by all the people of Xiangjiang is a good proof!" - "Xiangjiang News Today".

"We always believe that a literati must have the integrity of a literati. Can Yin Jun learn a lesson from the fact that he has suffered such a crushing defeat in order to lick the hinterland on his knees? I think it is very difficult! As long as a smart person takes the wrong path, he will not turn back! Will the Qilin Group collapse with a bang because of this? Let us wait and see."

"Just such a movie, how dare you show it to be released in the whole of Asia? Isn't this a shame for our Xiangjiang Company? Mr. Yin Jun, you still don't want to be so stubborn! Even the people of Xiangjiang can't appreciate your movie, so why should you lose face in front of all Asians? If this continues, will your future movies still be liked by everyone?" -- Nanyang English News.

……

Thanks to the three major TV stations in Xiangjiang now, one is Yin Jun's, one is Yin Jun's hardcore ally, and the other is cooperating with Yin Jun.

But even so, many young people and middle-class people in Hong Kong have seen such overwhelming bad comments, and it is inevitable that many people will be misled.

But on the side of Kirin Film Company, in the face of such high bad reviews and such a big box office contrast, it still didn't say a word, which seems a little strange.

A source revealed to the paparazzi that it is said that Le Yiling called Yin Jun to her office as soon as she saw the newspaper.

What the sister and brother said others don't know, but it will definitely not be to ask Yin Jun to drink tea, according to Le Yiling's character, it is estimated that Yin Jun will definitely be scolded.

Don't look at Yin Jun as a genius boy outside, but everyone in Xiangjiang knows that he treats Le Yiling like his own sister, and he handed over all the power of the company to Le Yiling, not to mention, Le Yiling can teach him a lesson from time to time on weekdays.

But on the other hand, Le Yiling will never allow anyone outside to scold Yin Jun or go against Yin Jun, and if there are such people, the Kirin Group will do its best to strangle them - more than 50 newspapers in Xiangjiang have now disappeared, and most of the reason is not because of the accelerated oppression of "Qilin Daily"?

It is very rare for two people who are not related by blood to get along with each other in such a relationship.

Le Yiling called Yin Jun over, definitely wanting Yin Jun to calm down the incident, but then there was still no movement from the Kirin Film Company, which made the newspapers and magazines who wanted to fight with the Kirin Group a little confused.

What's wrong?

Is it really a confession?

No way?

Yin Jun and Le Yiling are not that kind of people!

For a while, they still had some apprehension in their hearts.

This mentality of not knowing what the opponent will do has a little bit of torment.

They didn't have to wait long before they ushered in the next day's box office statistics.

1.39 million.

Well?

1.39 million!?

What's going on!?

Didn't you already hit the street on the first day? Why did you suddenly buck the trend on the second day? And this is still when we are in a comprehensive downturn!

Could it be that Kirin Films is cheating?

Yes, it must be!

The reporters who had an idea went to the nearby movie theater where "Shaolin Temple" was released as soon as possible, and wanted to interview the boss and ask if it was Kylin Film Company that made them falsely report the box office?

For such a question, the theater owners are scoffing.

"You're funny with your head, aren't you? What's the benefit to me of falsely reporting the box office? I still have to share it with Kirin Film Company according to this box office, and if I report high, I will give it high, didn't I eat too much?"

Such an answer is very vulgar, but it is very direct, leaving the reporters speechless.

Since it's not the theater owners who are cheating, it must be that Kirin Films spent money to hire someone to watch the movie, which is why it caused such a false prosperity at the box office!

Yes, definitely!

So, the reporters stayed at the door of the cinema that night, wanting to see what was going on.

By 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they were terrified.

Groups of young people all ran over in groups, lined up at the gates of major movie theaters and theaters, and bought movie tickets for "Shaolin Temple".

When the reporters went up to interview, their answers varied.

"I heard that this movie is so good, so cool, so I came to check it out. ”

"Hey, I also listened to my brother, the fights in it are gorgeous and beautiful, completely different from Xiangjiang's, it's my loss not to see it. ”

"I'm originally from the mainland, so I didn't have time to see it before, but now that it's empty, a group of us workers came over together...... What? Did Jun Shao give us a subsidy? Are you talking nonsense? How could Jun Shao do such a thing? This movie, our co-workers who have seen it have all said, it's very good, and we are willing to watch it at our own expense!"

"Go and go, I came to see it yesterday, and when I went home and thought about it for a long time, I still didn't enjoy it, so I brought my friends to see it today! I said, why do you reporters always compare and contrast here? Is it good or not, how about the movie, don't you go in and watch it yourself?"

“……”

Among the various answers, the reporters did not find the answers they wanted, on the contrary, in their waiting, they could only see a steady stream of people to buy tickets for "Shaolin Temple", it is conceivable that today's box office must be bad!

The result was really as the reporters guessed, but it was just a slap in the face again.

On Saturday, January 23, the box office of "Shaolin Temple" rose again, and the box office dropped 2.82 million in one go!

It's twice as high as yesterday!?

How so?

It's not scientific!

The first day hit the street, the second day reversed, and the third day it climbed vigorously again, what kind of movie is this?

The reporters couldn't figure it out.

But in the complaint column of "Kirin Daily", there is already an answer.

"It's worthy of Junshao, the movies he looks good at are all the same good-looking!"

"I can't imagine that a mainland movie can be made so wonderfully, it's really worth my movie ticket!"

"I took my brother to watch it, and I have to take my parents to watch it tomorrow, such a good movie, I won't get tired of watching it a few more times!"

"Fortunately, I didn't listen to the random reports of those newspapers, but chose to trust Junshao, and as a result, it didn't disappoint me! My girlfriend also thinks Li Lianjie is very handsome!"

"I can't imagine that such a good-looking movie can be made in the mainland? I'm afraid this is still our handsome 10 million to work, right?

"Don't say anything, I recommend all my friends to watch it, you will regret it if you don't see it!!"

“……”

Today's complaining column has long become a vane for Xiangjiang people to watch movies and TV series.

As long as there are some old fritters who often speak in it, most of them agree with a TV series or movie, and there are many people who believe it.

If it's a good review, more people will go to see it.

Because "Kirin Daily" has strict selection criteria, it is not a person calling from the same phone number, it is not a letter sent from the same address, even if it is a pseudonym with the same complaint, it will not be published.

As far as ordinary people are concerned, these spit experts, who are also ordinary people, are obviously more down-to-earth and trustworthy than those high-ranking reporters and commentators.

Cheered on by such comments, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve in 1982, although the box office of "Shaolin Temple" fell slightly because of the festival, it also reached a good single-day box office of 2.33 million!

It was also on the first day of the Lunar New Year that "Qilin Daily", which had not made any response to the box office of "Shaolin Temple", suddenly made a move.

They didn't post articles to satirize those peers who were blind, but simply published a few data on the front page of the entertainment section.

"Shaolin Temple" Asian box office statistics.

Xiangjiang, released for four days, the box office in the first weekend was 6.92 million Hong Kong dollars!

Japan, four days after release, the box office in the first weekend was 25.8 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

South Korea, four days after release, the box office in the first weekend was 17.5 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

Thailand, four days after its release, the box office on the first weekend was 11.3 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

Indonesia, four days after its release, the box office in the first weekend was 10.2 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

Singapore, four days after release, the box office on the first weekend was 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

The Philippines, four days after its release, had a box office of 13.5 million Hong Kong dollars (converted) in the first weekend!

Malaysia, four days after release, the box office on the first weekend was 9.7 million Hong Kong dollars (converted)!

……

The total box office of the first weekend was 112 million!!

As soon as this data came out, the whole Xiangjiang was a bit of a sensation!

They thought that only they liked the movie "Shaolin Temple", but they didn't expect it to set off a frenzy of movie-watching all over Asia.

What does this prove?

proves that "Shaolin Temple" is good enough, our heroes see the same thing, and our handsome vision is still incomparably good!

In the midst of carnival and praise, those who sang "Shaolin Temple" before had already been slapped in the face and had nothing to say.

All those newspapers and magazines were completely silent, as if they had never discussed it before.
