"Double Cannon" followed closely behind, temporarily ranking second with a weekly box office score of 8.15 million, while the old-school martial arts film "Wulang Bagua Stick" released by Shaw Brothers Theaters was miserable, sandwiched between two trendy urban blockbusters, and was abandoned by the audience.

"Wulang Bagua Stick" was released on February 17, only ten days after its release, and it was hurriedly painted on the 26th, with a total box office of hundreds of thousands less than the original time and space, and only 3.2 million yuan.

Leaving aside the old Shaw Brothers films, which are not in the off-season of Chinese New Year and non-summer films, two popular films with a box office of more than 8 million in the first week have emerged at the same time this week, which really surprised and excited the film industry and the media industry.

At the beginning of 1984, there has been a "Secret Decree of the Empress" approaching 30 million, a "Teppanyaki" approaching 20 million, and a "Shaolin Kid" that continues to be released in Yindu Cinemas and has the potential to break through the 20 million box office mark.

Now there are two more fierce films that are expected to hit the box office of 20 million so soon, which really makes the film industry feel excited, you must know that there were only two blockbusters at the level of 20 million last year, and there are only eleven films with a box office of more than 10 million.

And now, in the off-season of non-prime movies, two new films can appear at the same time and win more than 8 million in a week, and there are still more popular summer files and Christmas and New Year files worth looking forward to this year.

Since the 80s, the box office records of Xiangjiang movies have been greatly refreshed again and again, and the box office marks of 10 million, 15 million, 20 million, and 25 million have been continuously broken, and 30 million is only one step away. In the past week, "Overlord Flower" and "Double Cannon" have both achieved amazing box office performances, which has made some previous statements in the industry and the media even more noisy-

Another golden age of Hong Kong movies is coming!

……

Looking back, relevant experts are still debating whether Xiangjiang Film has entered another prosperous period, Baohe Pictures and Mango Studio, Hong Jinbao and Cheng Weiliang, these parties are more concerned about what kind of results their respective films will deliver in the second week in the next week?

The second week, which is very crucial, is the time to test the real success of the film!

In the first week, you can rely on the appeal of stars and strong publicity to attract enough audiences into the theater. In the second week, films that lack quality and stamina will show their true bodies in front of everyone, with attendance dropping and box office dropping sharply.

The new weekly champion "Overlord Flower", can the box office still be strong in the second week?

Will the veteran comedian's "Double Cannon" usher in an opportunity this week and succeed in a box office counterattack?

People in the industry and the media will wait and see.

The media paid attention to this issue, and Golden Harvest and Golden Princess paid more attention.

In order to win the key box office in the second week, Mango Studio and Baohe Pictures have not done much, the giants behind them, Golden Princess Cinemas and Golden Harvest Cinemas, one in order to continue to sit on the throne of the first place, the other is to see huge benefits, and at the same time, in order to earn back face, both of them choose to increase their support for the film at the same time.

Here, the Golden Princess announced that the number of joint screening theaters of "Overlord Flower" will be increased to 24, and Golden Harvest also immediately said that the "Double Cannon" film market is too hot and in short supply, in order to facilitate fans to watch nearby, Golden Harvest has increased the number of theaters screened again, reaching 25.

He Guanchang pulled the original cast of "Five Lucky Stars", Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, and Yuan Biao, the three major kung fu superstars, to the front desk, and personally cheered for "Double Cannon" in the media and fans.

Li Maowen did not show weakness, and let industry stars such as the Seven Monsters of Xinyicheng and Xu Guanjie support Cheng Weiliang, a newcomer in the film industry, and his new work.

Golden Harvest chose two newspapers to publish the propaganda posters of "Double Cannon" and the advertorials touted by literati every day, as well as articles attacking each other, and Princess Jin also mobilized relevant media resources, and also used colors.

A criticism that the plot of "Overlord Flower" is simply made up, how can there be any women's SWAT team in Xiangjiang, where can women withstand the arduous training project in the film, women's SWAT Overlord Flower just looks beautiful, not useful at all! An action movie should be starring a male actor, what's the point of watching a group of women fight softly?

A scolding "Double Cannon" for making up a story that is illogical and full of loopholes, which is simply insulting to the audience's IQ. Two crappy guys, dealing with robbers at the beginning, with stockings on your head, other robbers can't recognize your body shape and voice? Others can't figure it out, but the two of them can easily do it, so smart and witty, how can you not rise to the police level after more than ten years? This film is purely funny, everyone can just watch it, just have fun.

In this week, the two old rivals, Jiahe and Princess Jin, both sides showed their own powers, and they fought a few lively propaganda wars. Saliva and bricks flew together, the watchers watched lively and happy, and the theater owners collected their money softly.

……

In the process, reporters with good things went to interview Cheng Weiliang's side and Hong Jinbao's side respectively.

Reporter: Brother Aliang, your newcomer and new work, the box office of your first film "Overlord Flower" broke through the 10 million mark, according to last year's box office list, it is enough to rank in the top 10 of the total box office of the year!

Cheng Weiliang: There are so many friends from all walks of life, thank you!

Reporter: You have always been a miracle creator, the theme of the first work is very novel, groundbreaking, the film is affirmed by senior professionals and welcomed by the audience, the box office in the first week achieved an amazing result of 8.95 million, for newcomers, very remarkable.

Some people think that as long as your film can perform at a normal level in the second week, then the final box office of "Overlord Flower" is very likely to surpass the 20 million mark in one fell swoop! You will make history and become the youngest successful director in the history of Hong Kong cinema, the first person to set a box office record of 20 million in the first film directed!

What do you think about the possibility of becoming what others call "20 million magical directors"? Do you think it is possible to create this miracle before your twentieth birthday?

What do you think of your opponent this time? The box office gap between the two sides in the first week was less than 1 million, do you think there is a slight chance for "Double Cannon" to surpass you in the second week?
