On July 1, the premiere of "Police Story" was held at the Yau Ma Tei Cinema, which was the first time that a Hong Kong film had held a premiere ceremony, and the theater was full of more than 1,000 seats.

Before the start of the movie, Jiang Ran and other main creators of the crew shared the bits and pieces of the film production process with the audience, and also answered various questions from the audience on the spot.

After almost an hour of interactive sessions, the movie "Police Story" finally officially began to be screened, and many people are curious about this movie, which has been hyped up at the time of production.

Chen Bosen was also very curious about this movie, the movie was relatively dull at first, but from the fifth minute, the pace of the movie obviously began to speed up, and gunfights, chases, fights and other scenes appeared one after another.

Chen Bosen watched Jackie Chan chasing the fugitive alone on the screen, hanging on the outside of the car and crumbling, as if there was a possibility of falling at any time, and then with the background music, people's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated, and there was an immersive feeling.

Chen Bosen listened to the constant exclamations in the theater, lowered his head and wrote comments in his notebook.

"There are no special shots in the chase scenes, the whole is real and exciting, and the rhythm is bright and compact. ”

Mr. Chan, a veteran film critic in Hong Kong, was initially unimpressed by Ran Feng's cancellation of the midnight show and the holding of a premiere that he considered a bit sensational.

But after watching the scale of the premiere, he admired the courage and courage of Ran Feng's movie a little, and it was not until now that he saw the quality of the movie, he knew where Jiang Ran's confidence came from.

Chen Bosen has to admit that Jackie Chan has made a new breakthrough in the way of acting in this movie. Jiang Ran is also more mature in the rhythm control of the whole movie, and the movie is a very wonderful commercial movie in terms of action and scenes.

While reporters and film critics were focusing on the movie, Jiang Ran put most of his energy on observing the moviegoer's viewing reaction, listening to the exclamations coming from the theater from time to time, Jiang Ran knew that there was no big problem with this movie.

The premiere of the vigorous "Police Story" finally came to an end, but Jiang Ran and others needed to return to the company to wait for the box office results of the movie on the same day.

"Aaron, don't worry, I observed the audience's reaction in the theater just now, and everyone was basically amazed by your performance, we will definitely succeed this time. ”

Jackie Chan nodded, as if to cheer himself up, and said, "Yes, we will definitely succeed this time." When I came out of the theater just now, a lot of people came to praise me. ”

When Jiang Ran and others were waiting for the premiere results of the movie at Ranfeng Film Company, many audiences in more than 20 theaters in Hong Kong had already watched "Police Story".

In a cinema in the New Territories, several young people who had watched the movie together were discussing while walking outside the cinema.

"Jackie Chan is too good, such a fast car, he dares to climb up. ”

"I heard that Jackie Chan was injured during the filming of this scene, and said that the filming was filmed in real time without safety measures. ”

"If the shots in the movie were all shot in real life, then I would admire Jackie Chan too much. ”

"I admire Jiang Ran even more, I heard that the action scenes in this movie are so wonderful because of his mention. has a net worth of hundreds of millions at such a young age, and making movies is also wonderful, idol!"

On July 1, 1982, Hong Kong was full of buzz about the movie "Police Story", and Jackie Chan, Chung Chuhong and Jiang Ran became the focus of conversation among many of these theater audiences.

It was already very hot in Hong Kong in July, and when most people had already gone home from work, the lights in Ranfeng Film Company were still bright, and the phone calls in the office were coming and going, and they never stopped.

Jiang Ran had also been waiting for today's final result in the office, and at ten o'clock in the evening, all kinds of statistical work were finally completed, and Jiang Wei walked in in a hurry.

"Mr. Jiang, today's box office results are out. A total of 23 cinemas participated in the screening of "Police Story" today, with an average of four screenings, with an attendance rate of more than 80%, and a total box office of HK$920,000. ”

When Jiang Ran heard this result, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad, today is a working day, and it's already good to have such a result." In the next few days, the propaganda work must continue to follow up. ”

Jiang Ran said this, and said to Jackie Chan teasingly: "Ah Long, don't worry now." ”

The day after the release of "Police Story", most of the media in Hong Kong reported and commented on the premiere held by Ran Feng.

"The premiere of "Police Story", a super gorgeous red carpet show!" "Sing Tao Daily" focused on the gorgeous red carpet show of the movie premiere, and the report was full of exclamations.

As Jiang Ran expected, the premiere of "Police Story" brought too many reviews to the film, and at the same time, it also made the film more known and curious in Hong Kong.

Amid the media comments and the curiosity of Hong Kong audiences, the attendance rate of "Police Story" continued to rise, and by Saturday, the third day of the film's release, more than 20 theaters were full.

And when the time came on Sunday, all the theaters were full that day, and the long queues to buy tickets at the entrance of each movie theater lasted until the movie ended.

On the same day, the box office of "Police Story" was reported to be 1.7 million Hong Kong dollars, and on the fourth day of the movie's release, the total box office had reached 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Jiang Ran can now foresee what the film will achieve in the end.

By this time, "Police Story" had completely detonated the Hong Kong film market. The movies released at the same time, whether it is Wu Siyuan Film Company's "Dragon Ninja" or Shaw Brothers' "GD Pretty Jade", cannot pose a threat to "Police Story".

It was also from this week that "Police Story" began its journey to dominate the Hong Kong Film Market in July. In this month, the whole of Hong Kong is talking about this movie, and Jackie Chan is even more popular with countless people.

On Monday, July 5, Jiang Ran came to the company early in the morning and received a call from Zou Wenhuai unexpectedly.

"Ah Ran, I saw the release of "Police Story" two days ago today, the venue was full, and today's situation is also very hot, do you think you need to increase the number of theaters that will be released?"

Zou Wenhuai tentatively asked Jiang Ran's opinion on the phone, he had a hunch that the movie would be successful after the film trial meeting, but he really didn't expect that the movie would be so popular.

Although "Police Story" was distributed by Ranfeng Films, Golden Harvest only participated in the screening of the film, but according to the current situation, even if it is just a screening, the profit is larger than that of other films, so Zou Wenhuai hopes that Jiang Ran can increase the screening theater of the film in Golden Harvest.

After Jiang Ran listened to Zou Wenhuai's words, he thought that in the past two days, the company had received calls from audiences, and many people were asking for more theater screenings.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ran said: "Uncle Huai, there is no problem with increasing the number of theaters, but it is necessary to ensure the attendance rate of the audience.
