Yang Qiu feels that this kind of artistic thing about human nature is something that most people only care about after they have eaten enough.

It's not that there are no artists who are hungry, but most of them are 'starving' to death first.

For example, Van Gogh......

At present, the total population of Xiangjiang is almost 2 million, the literacy rate is less than 20 percent, and nearly one million people are struggling with poverty.

Do you tell them to understand the meaning of the film?

I'm sorry, life is tired enough, they don't want to go to the theater and suffer all over again.

What's the picture of the Chinese New Year? It's just a joy.

In order for the whole family to have a good time during the Chinese New Year, take the whole family to see a movie that is said to be very funny - worth it!

Compared with the three movies released at the same time, one of the biggest advantages of "Funny Times" is that it is suitable for all ages.

"A Book of Ten Thousand Profits" and "Full of Gold and Jade" are about the battle of liars; You can guess the name of "Twelve Golden Hairpins and Yulang", you know what to do, although the male protagonist is upright, but where can he raise twelve golden hairpins......

Among them, on the advertisement of "A Book of Wanli", it is written bluntly "fragrant enough, fleshy enough".

No wonder the group of artists engaged in Chinese films are dissatisfied with the people who make Cantonese films.

This is still a Cantonese film with a much higher bottom line after the 'Cantonese Film Cleaning Operation'.

Can children watch?

During the Chinese New Year, parents take their children out to watch movies, choose and choose, and it is suitable for a "Funny Era".

It is suitable for all ages and is foreign enough, if you can't see the real Chaplin, it's good to look at the fake Chaplin.

And this Hong Kong Chaplin is much more like that Oriental Charlie, at least many people are confused by him for being real......

So since the day "Funny Times" was released, the attendance rate has not been lower than seventy percent.

In the same period, "Twelve Golden Hairpins and Jade Lang" fell below forty percent on the fourth day, and finally barely screened the seven days of painting.

As for the 'meaty' "A Book of Profits", it was even worse, and the attendance rate dropped to two floors on the fifth day, so in order not to waste the bottom fee, it was simply screened directly.

"Funny Times" was released for eight days in the end, but Guan Zhicheng saw that this movie sold really well, and sold Yang Qiu a day to add a day.

The final total box office - 157,000 yuan!

This is an extremely gratifying box office, temporarily ranking first in the box office list of Hong Kong movies in 1951 and first in the box office list of Cantonese films.

Even compared with the Hong Kong domestic box office list for the whole of last year, this result also accounted for the third place.

A very impressive result!

And so on –

Wrong!

Isn't it said that Xiangjiang Chinese films have been hanging Cantonese films, how can the box office of Cantonese films be higher than that of Chinese films?

In fact, in terms of quality, Chinese films have always been beaten Cantonese films; but what kind of place is this, it is Xiangjiang, a natural Cantonese-speaking area.

Plus the bonus of Cantonese cinemas......

Therefore, in terms of the box office results of the city, Cantonese films have always been leading, and there are often cases where the annual box office champion is a Cantonese film.

So, in the spirit of some universal values at this time......

With such a dazzling achievement, the whole Xiangjiang seems a little cold.

Except for some Cantonese directors and investors who occasionally sigh that there is such a good film company in Hong Kong, there is no other movement.

No investors came to the door waving checks......

Now is not the golden age of Xiangjiang movies in the seventies and eighties, when double the investment could easily earn back seven or eight times the income.

And in this era, making movies has not yet made money by selling hibiscus cream.

No newspapers have made a big deal about this box office result......

Let's talk about the situation in the north.

No filmmaker took the initiative to ask for a film......

This is not an era of entertainment to death, people's spiritual needs are not so high, and in the era when cinemas are king, cinemas are naturally superior.

However, Yang Qiu didn't have time to care about these cold reactions.

As soon as he got the box office share of Jinguo Cinema, after a little preparation, Yang Qiu took Li Hanxiang and came to Guangyizhuang again.

In the manager's office......

As soon as the New Year passed, Yang Qiu felt that Zhao Ruihua in front of him had gained a little fatter.

looked at the other party's open arms and said 'Happy New Year' to him.

Yang Qiu also stepped forward and hugged him, and said happily: "Brother Zhao, Happy New Year." ”

Zhao Ruihua glanced at Yang Qiu up and down like Maitreya Buddha, and complimented: "Haha, it seems that my vision is not bad, I know that Director Yang will develop sooner or later, and I have formed a good relationship early." ”

"False praise, false praise, developed is not yet talkative. Yang Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and was modest.

"160,000, this is not yet developed. Zhao Ruihua praised and pointed to the coffee table next to him and said, "Sit, please sit." ”

"It's not enough for 160,000. ”

Yang Qiu humbled himself, sat down with Li Hanxiang, looked at Zhao Ruihua and began to make tea, looked around and said, "Brother Zhao, this company is becoming more and more magnificent. ”

"What's magnificent, no matter how grand it is, it's not supported by the brothers' movies. Zhao Ruihua picked up the teacup and poured two cups of tea, handed it over and said, "By the way, Director Yang, do you know that Director Bu came to us a few days ago." ”

Yang Qiu took the cup in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"It seems that Director Yang doesn't know. Zhao Ruihua looked at Yang Qiu's eyes and understood a little, took a sip of tea and said: "Director Bu took a "Lady Picture" and wanted us to release it. ”

"I really don't know that I haven't seen my teacher for a long time since I left Tarzan. Yang Qiu sighed.

"It's a pity ......"

"Huh?"

"If I had known that Director Yang would have left Mount Tai...... Zhao Ruihua patted his thigh and said with a regretful face: "If I knew that you would leave, our Guangyi would have pulled you over." ”

Yang Qiu's expression was light, and he asked, "Oh, isn't Guangyi only releasing movies, is this planning to get involved in production?"

"Haha, joking, joking. ”

Zhao Ruihua waved his hand and laughed, but then recalled: "This time I went back to Xinjiapo a year ago, and I saw that Boss He seemed to have such a meaning, but I don't know what I think about it." ”

If you have an idea, it's possible!

As far as Yang Qiu himself knows, the Shaw Brothers built a Shaw Brothers in Xiangjiang, and Cathay Pacific built a home appliance in Xiangjiang, so it makes no sense that the third Guangyi will sit idly by and hand over the rear to others.

Shaw Brothers, Cathay Pacific and Guangyi are all three dragons who cross the river, and they don't know when they will be able to grow into a snake......

"By the way, Director Yang, there is one more thing, I would like to ask your opinion. Zhao Ruihua suddenly changed his painting style, interrupting Yang Qiu's thoughts.

Yang Qiu wondered, "What's the matter?"

"Isn't this "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" selling well in Singapore and Malaysia, our big boss He wants to ask, can you let your drama troupe go to Xinjiapo to perform a few dramas. ”

"Go to Xinjiapo to perform a drama?"

"Yes, the last time Director Bu came, I wanted to ask, but at that time, I knew that Director Yang had already left Mount Tai, and Director Bu completely ignored this matter. ”

"It's a good thing for the repertory theatre. Yang Qiu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and talk to the people in the repertory troupe." ”

"Uh...... , Director Yang. Zhao Ruihua hesitated for a moment, and then pondered: "I think maybe you didn't understand clearly, I mean you, go to Xinjiapo to perform a few times." ”

"We?" Yang Qiu looked stunned.

"Yes, you guys, the people in the movie. ”

“……”

"Director Yang, we can pay the performance fee. ”

"Brother, Xinjiapo!" Li Hanxiang was also beside him, and said with bright eyes: "We have never been there yet." ”

Yang Qiu smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao, it's not a matter of performance fees, it's just a matter of performing dramas, I don't know if I have this time." ”

"Not too much time, just a week. Zhao Ruihua explained: "Besides, when you are ready to get over there, your new film is estimated to be released, and you can also take a look at the box office situation of the movie." ”

"This ......"

"Brother!"

"Okay. Yang Qiu gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'll go." ”

"Haha, then I will take the first step and welcome Brother Yang in Xinjiapo. Zhao Ruihua said happily.

"Thank you, but the release of this film will trouble Guangyi again. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Zhao Ruihua nodded with satisfaction and asked, "You don't choose to buy out this time?"

"Forget about the buyout, let's divide the distribution. ”

"When I divide the distribution. Zhao Ruihua sat up straight and said with a straight face: "Not to mention the distribution fee of 50,000 yuan, as far as Cantonese films are concerned, this share will be less than that of Chinese films." ”

"Who said we were a Cantonese film. Yang Qiu smiled.

"What?!"

"We just got a version of Chinese out. ”
