Chapter 427: Incredible Korean Box Office

Xiang Huaqiang and his wife's hospitality was very thoughtful, and the issue of cooperation was also very pleasant, Zhou Bai described the story of the script to them roughly, and Xiang Huaqiang and his wife were also very happy, and only agreed to invest after asking about the approximate investment amount.

Of course, this is only the initial intention of cooperation, the specific need to follow up after professional business negotiations and negotiations to finally make the trip, this is the first cooperation between the two sides, although the vision is good, but the professional attitude should still be taken out, after all, it involves a lot of money, can not be ignored.

Of course, as a consistent partner of Bai Xiang Studio, Huayi's investment in New Picture still needs to be guaranteed, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to appear in Zhou Bai's choice if he abandons the business partners who have been cooperating for several years and turns to the other party.

Xiang Huaqiang and his wife are very powerful in Xiangjiang, they can eat both black and white, and it is in his interests to occasionally cooperate with them within a limited range, nothing more.

Xiang Huaqiang and his wife are very happy, how can there be any reason not to accept the olive branch handed over by Zhou Bai, although the investment amount is not large, but the risk is also much smaller, they do so much, isn't it just to get in touch with this hot young man in the mainland?

As for whether they will lose money, Xiang Huaqiang and his wife, who have strong capital, didn't think much about it at all, even if it was eight million, it was nothing to them, and they could go online with Zhou Baila, and they would have an extra layer of protection for entering the mainland market in the future, and "My Sassy Girlfriend" made all investors count their money until they were soft, this one has never lost money, I don't know how many people are waving checks and waiting for him to say a word.

When I met with old friends like Aguan and Er Dongsheng, the trip to Xiangjiang ended in a hurry, there was no way, this circle is like this, everyone has a lot of things to do, and the only time to get together for a long time is about the time of filming and publicity.

After only staying in Xiangjiang for two days, Zhou Bai took the main creative staff of the crew to South Korea, as one of the most valued box offices, he had to participate in the publicity work, after all, the results of "Hero" at the beginning of this year were good, and Zhou Bai was also well-known in South Korea.

Generally speaking, the publicity plan was booked early in the morning, just because of temporary accidents, the plan was repeatedly adjusted, fortunately, the company's employees are all strong cadres, and the related work has been done perfectly, and there is no mistake because of the temporary adjustment.

In fact, the box office performance of "Fifty First Loves" in South Korea was also good, but Zhou Bai did not come to South Korea to promote at that time, and after the release of "Hero", it had enough influence in the whole of Asia.

Celebrities are always a publicity gimmick, although "My Sassy Girlfriend" has a lot of fans on the Korean Internet, but whether these fans can be converted into audiences, so that they willingly go into the cinema to support the movie, that is another matter, and the publicity and distribution work is very important.

To Zhou Bai's surprise, the Korean audience's enthusiasm for Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan was even hotter than that of the Xiangjiang audience, and it could even be said that it reached the point of madness.

The company here in Korea is also very professional, although the fans are crazy enthusiastic, and the security work in the middle is also quite good, and the whole trip can be said to be smooth and smooth.

In fact, the Korean film market has always been one of the box offices of discourse films, or to narrow down the scope a little more, that is, South Korea has always been one of the box offices of Xiangjiang films, from the 80s to 00, Hong Kong films have been loved by the audience for 20 years, and blockbuster movies abound.

If you want to make a statistic, the top 50 movies that can enter the top 50 of the year in the 80s/90s are very high-grossing movies, and it is not surprising that there are N Hong Kong films on the list every year, and even winning the championship and runner-up, which shows that this market was almost at the mercy of Hong Kong films at that time.

In the early 80s, Hong Kong-style martial arts films represented by Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, and Li Lianjie sold crazy in South Korea, and after Cheng Long became popular in South Korea, he even took out the movies before he became famous to go to South Korea to grab money again, such as Shaolin Muren Alley, these are all movies before Jackie Chan became famous in the 70s, and it's amazing to think about it.

In the late 80s, a little bit of Zhou Runfa's hero films were added, which were also very popular, but throughout the 80s, almost all kung fu films that sold very well in South Korea were indeed not enough, which also laid a hidden danger for the later market decline.

In the early 90s, the glory of Hong Kong films in the Korean film market reached its peak, and even more than a dozen of the top 50 films of the year were Hong Kong films.

In the 00s, due to the rise of Korean local films, the competition became more intense, and it was very good for Chinese films to enter the top 100, and it was also for this reason that the golden age of Hong Kong films was gone, and it was gradually declining, without the support of the market, it would never regain its previous glory.

Jiang Zhiqiang's company's distribution ability is really good, the number of open screens is also guaranteed, and the related marketing is also very good, from the first day of the movie's release, the number of moviegoers has repeatedly broken the record of the number of moviegoers in discourse movies, which makes everyone overjoyed.

"Seeing that you are so happy, is there good news coming again?" Yuan Yu observed Zhou Bai's expression after answering the phone, and couldn't help asking, after doing South Korea's propaganda, Zhou Bai couldn't wait to come back to take care of her.

"Well, I just received a call from Mr. Jiang, and the number of moviegoers in South Korea was counted last week, guess how much? Be bold, this number is definitely beyond your expectations. Zhou Bai was overjoyed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the number of viewers of "Hero" is a total of 1.91 million, that is already the highest number of viewers, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is an adaptation from South Korea, look at your expression should be very popular, there are 500,000 a week?" Yuan Yu thought for a while and said, in her opinion, it is a very bold imagination for "My Sassy Girlfriend" to have this data.

That's right, it's imagination, you must know that the number of moviegoers of 500,000 people is almost 20 million yuan at the box office, after all, the cost of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not comparable to "Hero", and Li Lianjie's fame in South Korea is much greater than Zhou Bai.

"You have to be a little bolder. Zhou Bai said with a smile, when he first learned this number, he was also taken aback, but he didn't expect that after making the movie into Chinese, he could still open the market in South Korea and get an excellent box office.

"800,000?" Yuan Xiang thought of a number and decided to add another 300,000, this box office result is already terrible, you must know that this is only the first week record, which is equivalent to a box office result of 32 million yuan.

"More than that, you be a little bolder. Zhou Bai's smile couldn't be hidden, and he said with a smile.

"One million?" said Yuan Yu a little incredulously, knowing that "Hero" is equivalent to spending 200 million yuan on film production, and the number of moviegoers in the first week is not so large, which is almost unimaginable.

"Wrong, it's 1,230,000, 230,000 more than you guessed 1,000,000. Zhou Bai finally released an unbelievable figure for Yuan Xiang.
