Chapter 160: The Battle for the Box Office

On the dance floor, accompanied by soothing music, Wang Zheng lightly supported Mei Yanfang's waist and walked with unfamiliar steps, his body was slightly tense, for fear of accidentally stepping on the jade feet of the beauty to create a foreign appearance.

"Director Wang, don't be so nervous, take it easy. ”

Seeing Wang Zheng's somewhat clumsy appearance, Mei Yanfang chuckled.

"Hehe, I'm less than a year older than you, just call me Ah Zheng in the future. Wang Zheng's old face turned red and quickly changed the topic.

Mei Yanfang chuckled: "Then you can call me Anita, what about your English name?"

"Okay, Anita, I'm Joe!"

Mei Yanfang asked with some surprise: "Joe, such a simple name, it doesn't match your impression on me." ”

Wang Zheng smiled faintly: "In the Bible, Joe represents a child given by God, and in the United States, he represents an ordinary person, and at the same time a good person, which is very in line with my code of conduct." ”

The time when Xiangjiang was colonized is close to a century, Western culture has long been integrated into the life of Hong Kong people, there will be many inconveniences without an English name, in order to facilitate communication with foreigners in the future, Wang Zheng took this simple English name for himself, Qiao, which is also his real name in his previous life, which can be regarded as a tribute to the life of the previous life.

Mei Yanfang's eyes flashed with a different look, and she smiled slightly: "Joe, it turns out that you are such a humble person. ”

Wang Zheng smiled and didn't answer again, the soothing music was over at this time, and the two stopped dancing and returned to the booth together.

Zeng Zhiwei and Hong Jinbao on the card seat were already drunk unconscious, and even Cheng Long and a few people were flushed, thinking that the amount of alcohol of a few people would be unfathomable, but he didn't expect that he would be drunk in the time of a dance, Wang Zheng wanted to take back the words that praised a few people for their good drinking.

Looking at Mei Yanfang and smiling bitterly, Wang Zheng found a bar driver to send the drunk people home in turn, and was busy until the second half of the night, when the celebration banquet was over.

The next day, the box office of "Food Truck" appeared in the office of Shao Yifu in the wireless building, although this drama was popular and popular, but the box office of 2 million on the first day still could not shake the box office status of "The True Color of Heroes".

"The True Color of Heroes" was released in the second week, and the box office on the first day was also close to 2 million, which was not affected by the release of "Fast Food Truck", which made Shao Daheng, who was like a big enemy, a lot easier.

"I heard you attended Golden Harvest's premiere yesterday. ”

Behind Huang Huali's desk, Shao Daheng Gujing Wubo's face could not see any expression.

Wang Zheng rubbed his head, which was a little drowsy due to hangover, and asked instead of answering: "Has Uncle Sixth ever thought about cooperating with Jiahe?"

Hearing Jiahe's name, Shao Daheng Gujing Wubo's expression flashed a ripple, and asked, "You mean co-making a movie?"

"Yes. Wang Zheng explained: "The reason why I went to attend the premiere of "Fast Food Truck" yesterday was that I wanted to observe the family class up close, and then to explore Golden Harvest's intentions. ”

You go on. Shao Daheng seemed to be interested and listened quietly.

Wang Zheng continued: "Uncle Sixth should know how popular Cheng Long's kung fu comedy is in Southeast Asia, if he co-produces a drama directed by me with Golden Harvest, only with Shaw Brothers' theaters in Southeast Asia, it will definitely bring a lot of profits to the company, and then there is Golden Harvest's distribution network in North America, if Sixth Uncle can put down the estrangement and sit down to discuss cooperation with Golden Harvest, the two companies will definitely be a win-win situation." ”

Shao Daheng listened to Wang Zheng's explanation, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and asked, "With Golden Harvest, your script already has eyebrows?"

Wang Zheng smiled lightly: "I have prepared two books, if the sixth uncle has this intention, I am ready to start filming after the year." ”

Shao Daheng nodded: "I will seriously consider your suggestion." ”

"Then thank you Uncle Six!"

If Wang Zheng remembers correctly, two years later, Shaw Brothers will co-produce Ni Kuang's Wesley Legend with Golden Harvest, although the box office at that time was not very good, but it is enough to prove that Shao Yifu is not such a rigid person, otherwise he would not be able to create a huge TV kingdom of wireless.

Shao Daheng waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, I am considering cooperating with Golden Harvest because you personally guide, I believe in your guidance ability, not Cheng Long's popularity in Southeast Asia." ”

Seeing Shao Daheng praising himself in disguise, Wang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh on his face, and hurriedly changed the topic: "The True Color of Heroes is so gratifying at the box office in Xiangjiang, I believe it will be equally popular in Bangguo and Waguo, after all, they are not much different from our Chinese culture, when is Uncle Sixth going to release this drama in Southeast Asia?"

Speaking of "The True Color of Heroes", Shao Tycoon's tone was slightly meaningful: "Since this drama broke the box office record on the first day, many filmmakers in Southeast Asia have come to me to negotiate the price. ”

"Everything is decided by the sixth uncle. ”

Unlike Golden Harvest's relationship network established in North America, most of Shaw Brothers' overseas theaters are distributed in Southeast Asia, and the reason why Golden Harvest can enter the North American market is thanks to Bruce Lee's hard work when he was alive, although Bruce Lee's works are not many, but he is the first Chinese actor in Hollywood, among which the play "Enter the Dragon" won 200 million US dollars at the box office in North America, which is a miracle of Chinese films.

After a week of hot screenings, the box office of "Fast Food Truck" was announced by the media for the first time.

"Food Truck" grossed 2 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day and 10.5 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week. This was followed by the box office information of "True Colors of Heroes".

"The True Color of Heroes" had a box office of 3 million on the first day, 15 million in the first week, 9.8 million in the second week, and a cumulative box office of 24.8 million.

At the box office of Xiangjiang movies in August, the two dramas "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Fast Food Truck" were far ahead, and the films released by the rest of the small companies were all affected by the pond fish, especially the feature film "Passing Years" of the Jade Bird Film Company opened by the famous Hong Kong actress Xia Meng, although this drama was very praised by academic filmmakers, but it was sandwiched between "The True Colors of Heroes" and "Food Truck", and the box office was only more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars a week, which was not an opponent at all.

This phenomenon lasted until the release of the new film "Family Portrait" in the third week of Xinyicheng, as one of the three giants of Xinyicheng, "Family Portrait" led by Xu Guanjie exceeded 10 million at the box office in the first week of release, leaving behind "Food Truck" and "The True Colors of Heroes", which were released for one week and two weeks.

But with the cumulative box office, after the end of the third week of release, the total box office of "The True Colors of Heroes" is infinitely close to 30 million, and there are still two weeks before the next painting, and it is only a matter of time before "The True Colors of Heroes" breaks through the 30 million box office.
