The name of the Chinese New Year file was actually officially proposed by the gang of Xinyi City in the golden 80s of Xiangjiang films.

Then, it was hyped by film companies and quickly became popular in the film industry.

However, before the 80s, what New Year's files and summer files and the like had already come out.

But now in 1951, these schedules, sorry, are not available......

Why?

It's because of the 'unspoken rules for screening in seven days' mentioned earlier!

Think about the summer file of the Chinese New Year in later generations, why it is so hot, it is because there are five or six film companies competing for the qualification of such a month's film schedule, and the result is that the dog's brain is about to come out, which is lively.

If you fight well, a film has been selling well for a month, so it has to be a big hit.

Then you can't hurry up and throw money at it and publicize it vigorously.

Fire!fire!

And now......

You, you, you...... Don't fight, a month, it's all enough to release your film, don't fight.

Besides, this cinema line can't be finished, isn't there a few other cinema lines?

You don't have to fight, you can make money with harmony!

An indisputable schedule, what gunpowder can smell like, it's not the same as usual.

Maybe you said, aren't there still so many Cantonese fragments, and they all know that it is easier to sell at that time, how can they not fight?

As mentioned earlier, in fact, many Cantonese fragments are directly sold to some movie theater owners to fill the film library of the theater's leisure time, and there is no rush for schedule.

Besides, you spend about 40,000 yuan to shoot a fragment, and you have to spend another 10,000 yuan to find a Cantonese theater to pay the bottom fee, and then the publicity fee for a theater line will cost several thousand......

Then calculate, well, it takes more than 100,000 box office to recoup the cost.

If you are not in a hurry, wait for the one, second, three, or even many rounds of screenings, and you may be able to earn 100,000 yuan at the box office.

However, you are crazy to shoot Cantonese fragments not to make quick money?!

Therefore, the Cantonese fragments in this year are either directly sold to the theater owner's filling library, or the quality is even worse, and people don't want to fill in the film library, so they find a separate Cantonese theater, pay a package fee of a few hundred yuan, and release it hastily, how much can be cheated, and basically not go to the theater.

Of course, it's not that there are no fragments of the theater line, at least they are of better quality and know their own foundation.

But how many such fragments can there be?

Those that can often be in theaters are also Western films, Chinese films and boutique Cantonese films.

Not to mention Spanish films, how many Chinese films and high-quality Cantonese films can there be every year?

Few and far between.

So it's hell to be able to fight in these schedules.

As mentioned above, there are four Cantonese film theaters in recent years.

They are called: Central Line, Taiping Line, New World Line, and Jinguo Line.

These cinema chains are quite similar to the later Golden Harvest Cinema Chains, all of which are led by a few cinema chains, and then other cinemas join in the form of franchises, and then form a cinema chain together.

Among them, the Central Cinema is headed by the Central Cinema located in Queen's Road, supplemented by five National Treasure Cinemas, Yongle Cinemas, and Baosheng Cinemas, forming a cinema line.

The Taiping Line, as the name suggests, is led by the Taiping Theater and is formed by the union of six theaters, including Guoming, Good World, and Guangming.

The third New World Line has seven cinemas, including New World, Heung Kong, Xinhua, Beihe and Yau Ma Tei.

However, although it is called New World, the rights of the entire cinema chain are in the hands of the Shaw Brothers father and son, who account for half of the number of theaters in the cinema chain, and can be directly called the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line.

As for the fourth Jinguo Cinema Line, it is composed of six theaters, including Jinguo, National, and New Stage.

The difference between these four cinema chains is that the Central Line and the Taiping Line only participate in the distribution and release of films, while the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and the Jin Guo Line also participate in part of the film investment and production.

Among them, Guan Jiabai, the owner of Jinguo Line, personally established a film company called Dacheng to shoot movies for his own theaters.

It's just that now, Guan Jiabai, who is about sixty years old, is very angry.

"Say it again!"

"How can it be on fire?"

"What are you people doing? ”

"Rice bucket!"

“……”

In the general manager's office of Jinguo Building, Guan Jiabai walked around the room, shouting angrily at the middle-aged man standing next to him from time to time, and his face was flushed with anger.

"Dad——, you really can't blame us for this. Guan Zhicheng was a little helpless, and said stubbornly: "Who would have thought that the air conditioner in the film library was so good that it would suddenly be short-circuited." ”

After listening to his son's words, Guan Jiabai became even more angry and said angrily: "Idiot, you are not to blame, but who is to blame? What is the most important thing about a film company? Don't you know!"

“…… Know...... Know ......"

"Where?" you say!"

"Glue ...... Film Library. ”

"Hehe, you know it's a film library. ”

Guan Jiabai was so angry that he was dizzy, a little unsteady on his feet, and felt a headache coming up, so he couldn't help but hold the desk with his left hand, and rubbed his forehead with his right hand.

"Dad, are you okay?" Guan Zhicheng asked anxiously when he saw that his father's face was wrong.

"Idiot, all the fuss, what can I do!"

“……”

Guan Zhicheng was kind and caring, but he was scolded by his father for a while, and he lowered his head and felt very uncomfortable.

Perhaps the headache was better, Guan Jiabai eased up, sat down, and asked, "How is the film room burning?"

"You know...... Film is flammable. So...... When I found it, it had already burned more than half of it. ”

"You ......"

Guan Jiabai was just about to scold, but he felt a headache again, and couldn't help leaning back on the back of the boss's chair.

"Dad—"

Guan Jiabai was too lazy to listen to Guan Zhicheng's nonsense, endured a headache and waved his hand, and said with a hideous face: "I don't care who is in charge of the film room now, I will open it immediately, and change someone who can take care of things." ”

“…… Good. ”

Guan Zhicheng obviously understood the reason for abandoning the car to protect the handsome, and after a slight hesitation, he nodded directly.

“……”

The atmosphere of the whole scene quieted down for a long time, and Guan Jiabai, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly asked: "By the way, what about the negatives of "Wrong Vinegar"?

“……”

"Say!" Looking at Guan Zhicheng, who was afraid to speak, Guan Jiabai's eyes widened and he shouted.

"Also, there's two boxes left. ”

"Are the two boxes okay?" Guan Jiabai collapsed on the back of the chair again, and scolded in a low voice: "You might as well tell me directly that it's all burned, I'm better." ”

"Dad, I'm sorry. ”

"Okay, okay, I don't want to talk to you so much. Guan Jiabai waved his hand with a headache, and asked in a tangled manner: "The films prepared for the New Year are gone, what other films can we put on top?"

"Well, listen to the second brother, there is still a "Wonder Male and Female Sword" that has not been scheduled. ”

""Wonder Male and Female Swords"?" Guan Jiabai heard this name, and he had a faint bad premonition, and asked, "Who directed it?"

"Chen Guihua. ”

"What about the main actors?"

"Uh...... Cao Dahua. ”

"Cantonese fragments?!" Guan Jiabai asked with a glare.

Guan Zhicheng was a little uneasy, and argued: "Dad, you know Cao Dahua's film, it's still ......."

"Get out!"

"Dad—"

"Get out! You lost this person, I can't afford to lose your father! Put the scraps during the New Year, have your faces been eaten by dogs? ”

"Dad, there's no way to ...... it"

"Get out!"

"I ......"

Knock knock ——! knock knock——!

Guan Zhicheng was just about to defend himself, when he was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door, and before the two people in the office could talk, he heard a 'click' and the door was pushed open.

"Dad, big brother. ”

It was also a young man who came in, and as soon as he entered the door, he rolled his eyes and greeted the two.

Guan Jiabai couldn't continue to be angry with his eldest son at the moment, so he turned his head to look at his second son and asked, "Zhigang, is there something wrong?"

"Dad, didn't I see my eldest brother's company's film room on fire, I'm in a hurry, I can't lack films in this theater, but ah, some things are so coincidental. ”

"Eh, second brother, what's wrong?" Guan Zhicheng asked beside him.

"Dad, big brother, you can't imagine it, someone just brought the film to our theater for review, I watched it, it's really a good film, it's no problem to use it for the New Year's file, even Manager Wu of the theater has always praised the film as good. ”

"Oh——!" At this time, Guan Jiabai was curious about the film in the mouth of his second son, and asked, "What is the film called?"

"Funny Times"

Guan Jiabai frowned and thought about it, making sure that he hadn't heard of this film, and then asked, "Who directed it?"

"Yang Qiu. ”

This name is a little familiar, Guan Jiabai thought for a while and asked, "What about the starring role?"

"Well, Yang Qiu directed and acted by himself, and there is only one famous role, Cao Dahua. ”

“……”

Guan Jiabai looked at his second son with wide eyes, and the word 'roll' had already surged to his throat.
