Chapter Ninety-Eight: 20 Million Box Office (10,000 Votes Plus Update)

"Modern Bodyguard" had a box office of 5.5 million in the first week, breaking the box office record in the first week of the Hong Kong box office, and then hit a new high in the second week, reaching a terrifying 10.09 million, half a month after its release, it was still full, Lei Juekun immediately made a decision, and ordered eighteen theaters to screen two more shows a day, and the box office easily exceeded 900,000 on the same day, and then the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days were all full, and this week, the total box office reached an astonishing 16.68 million!

The film received a box office of 16.68 million in three weeks after its release, and as soon as the report came out, the whole Hong Kong was shaken, as if a gold mine had been discovered, and businessmen with a little strength joined in, and large and small production companies sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The movie was a big hit, Lei Juekun smiled crookedly, the theater made a lot of money, and the surrounding sales profits were also considerable, popcorn, sugarcane, melon seeds and other snacks were selling hot, and he made a profit of more than 1 million in a week, and what made him even more excited was that the shops in the major shopping malls were in a mess, and in the case of unpreparedness, the total sales of Lisheng Building alone increased by forty percent, and the cooperative merchants made money, so he had a reason to increase the rent!

The time soon came to August 15th, "Modern Bodyguard" was released for 25 days, and the theater attendance rate fell one after another, but the box office was still outstanding, winning 3.39 million box office in the fourth week, and a total of 20.79 million box office in a month, when DreamWorks publicized the news, no one believed it at the first time, just kidding! Hong Kong movies have just entered the era of tens of millions, and no matter how popular "Modern Bodyguard" is, it can't break through 20 million! When the news was confirmed, all the people who paid attention to this event were stunned, a movie earned 20 million, and it has not been painted yet, counting the foreign box office, wouldn't it break through 50 million!

In addition to the jaw-dropping of Hong Kong people, Wang Zifan became famous with DreamWorks!

The big sale of "Modern Bodyguard" is good news for DreamWorks, but other theaters almost cursed it as a rag doll, Golden Harvest Cinema's "Money is Strange" is a little better, and the attendance rate in the last week is maintained at more than 30%, but under the strong offensive of "Modern Bodyguard", it was only released for ten days, with a cumulative box office of more than 4.7 million, Zou Wen painted "Money as a Monster" with a contradictory mood, and kept comforting himself, Golden Harvest has perfect overseas distribution channels, and the total box office of "Money is Strange" is definitely higher than that of "Modern Bodyguard". Money Makes Trouble wins, Golden Harvest wins!

The second film "Evil and Evil" was released when Lei Juekun ordered the screening, and fans went to the Golden Princess Theater, in the eyes of Yi Yifu and Fang Yihua, the just-released "Evil and Evil" was not as popular as the previous ones, under the glory of "Modern Bodyguard", it only received more than 200,000 box office on the first day, and the total box office was only 970,000 in a week, even "Ming Pao", " Big newspapers and magazines like "Sing Tao Daily" are embarrassed to report, but "Oriental Daily" and some lace tabloids are not so polite, and the Sing family has become a laughing stock in the industry for a while.

Kui Yifu recalled Wang Zifan's resolute demeanor that day, and couldn't help but feel remorse, if he had recruited Wang Zifan in the first place, then the current scenery is the Dian Cinema Line!

Fang Yihua walked into the office and reported: "Sixth uncle, Jiahe has decided to paint "Applause"!"

Shaw shook his head helplessly, their double-line screening was about to become a joke, and in front of "Modern Bodyguard", there was no power to resist.

After a pause, Shaw asked again, "How is the situation in the theater?"

Fang Yihua said: "The attendance rate is okay, I don't know what they think!"

Kui Yifu said with a smile: "Zou Wenhuai, that kid has a high spirit, and he probably wants to win by quantity!"

Fang Yihua frowned and said: "Sixth brother, this is not a way, the films released by Jiahe are all outsourced films, we are self-produced and self-sold, and we are completely losing money!"

Shaw waved his hand helplessly, a few days ago, he talked to Zou Wenhuai, it was they who underestimated "Modern Bodyguard", and responded in a hurry, so they were in this situation in the morning, temporarily canceled the screening, and waited until the Christmas file and the Chinese New Year file, these two popular schedules, after being fully prepared, they would give Princess Jin a fatal blow.

Shaw told Fang Yihua about the decision to cancel the screening, and said: "I heard that DreamWorks is going to invest 10 million to make a big cast, you should pay more attention, and report to me immediately if there is any news!"

"Got it, sixth brother!" Fang Yihua wanted to follow suit, but when she heard that it really cost 10 million, she immediately dispelled this idea, the cost is too high, which is not in line with her concept, she likes to be small and big, she invests a lot in such small-budget movies, but only salty and wet films are the most successful.

……

Golden Harvest

Seeing that the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" exceeded 20 million, Zou Wenhuai was also anxious, and what made him most depressed was that Golden Harvest did not have a film source to block it, and all the bad movies were released, but it brought out the charm of "Modern Bodyguard", and the audience would rather go to the Golden Princess Theater to watch it again than come to Golden Harvest Theater to watch a movie that they have not seen.

couldn't think of a countermeasure at the meeting, He Guanchang stood up and comforted him: "Ah Huai, which theater in Hong Kong is not like this now, everyone runs to watch "Modern Bodyguard", not only our Golden Harvest Cinema is deserted, but also blames Wang Zifan for his slippery head, controlling movie tickets to a certain extent, what is it called hunger marketing, some theaters are not full at all, and the audience's enthusiasm for buying tickets has not decreased but increased." ”

Cai Yongchang sighed: "I have never seen such a scene, the less it is sold, the more prosperous the scene, everyone is rushing to buy it, and the scalpers are shouting the sky-high price of 100 Hong Kong dollars, and the audience is still flocking to it." ”

Zou Wenhuai doesn't understand, he can't wait to sell out all the movie tickets at one time, how can he play any hunger marketing, this is not digging his own grave?

Liang Feng smiled bitterly: "This time I caught DreamWorks off guard, a good summer file, they were robbed of the limelight, we are accompanying the prince to study, no play!"

Zou Wenhuai rubbed his swollen temples and asked, "Has Sanmao's film been completed?"

He Guanchang shook his head and said, "Sanmao, no, far water can't dissolve fire!"

Liang Feng echoed: "Yes, now that the eyebrows are burning, if "Modern Bodyguard" exceeds 30 million, then DreamWorks' momentum will surpass our Golden Harvest!"

Million?

Cai Yongchang secretly smacked his tongue when he heard it, but it was really possible to release it for another month, and sighed: "I hope Lei Juekun won't be so crazy!"

Zou Wenhuai's brows furrowed even deeper, and he reluctantly announced: "The Zodiac side has decided to cancel the screening, and I will reply to the tycoon later, let's give up the summer file and fully prepare for the Christmas file and the New Year file, isn't Xu Guanwen back, the Christmas file has Sanmao in charge, and the New Year file still depends on Xu's Film Company!"
