Chapter 213: The Battle for the Box Office (3)
On February 11, once "Lucky Star Gaozhao" was released, it was well received by the public and popular with the public, and the theaters released on the same day were almost full, and the box office on the first day was infinitely close to the record of 3 million held by "The True Color of Heroes".
Such a hot scene made the three giants of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City a little unable to sit still, in addition to increasing the publicity of new plays, the number of screenings of scheduled films has also increased.
Although "Lucky Stars" was distributed by Golden Harvest Cinemas on behalf of them, in order to protect their own films from the impact of "Lucky Stars", Golden Harvest privately signed an agreement with Shaw Brothers to lease each other's theaters, and was ready to increase the amount of filming to snipe its footsteps.
Wang Zheng couldn't laugh or cry after learning about this, in the end, Shao Daheng and Zou Wenhuai and others still don't have enough confidence in the two dramas "Prison Storm" and "Plan A Sequel", in his opinion, no matter how popular "Lucky Star Gaozhao" is, the results of these two dramas will not be affected.
As the saying goes, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, and Debao, headed by Pan Disheng, immediately spent a lot of money to rent many scattered theaters in Xiangjiang after learning about the move of Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess Cinemas to increase the number of films, and all of them were put on "Lucky Stars".
Although these scattered theaters are small, they are constantly increasing the total box office results of "Lucky Stars", and by the time "Prison Storm" premieres on February 13, "Lucky Stars", which has been in theaters for three days, has reached 6 million at the total box office.
The three-day box office record of 6 million not only earned back the cost for Debao Company, but also made Debao, a new company, ranked second in the fastest box office list of Xiangjiang films, surpassing "Best Partner" in Xinyicheng, and only ranking behind Shaw Brothers' "True Colors of Heroes".
is different from the star-studded premiere of "Lucky Stars", in addition to the main creative members of the premiere of "Prison Storm", only Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Yusen, Mei Yanfang, and Zheng Fei Xingwei's Da Fei and Liang Chaowei came to cheer, not that Wang Zheng can't invite big names in the film industry, but he feels that there is no need for this, if the quality of the film is not good, it will be useless to invite more big names to cheer, on the contrary, if the quality of the film is top, the low-key premiere will still cause a sensation.
declined Fang Yihua's kindness in arranging for Wireless Huadan Xiaosheng to come to the platform, but Wang Zheng invited Wang Guxian to come to the stage alone, and had a different kind of good impression of this slightly immature goddess.
After the filming of "Goodbye Seven Days", Wang Guxian is much more mature than when he first came to Xiangjiang, maybe this is the grinding brought by going out, except that the Cantonese pronunciation is not very standard, it has almost melted into the life of Xiangjiang.
Kowloon City, Shaw Brothers Theater, Wang Zheng was busy greeting Wu Yusen, Zeng Zhiwei, these old friends who came to cheer, Wang Guxian, who was alone, came to his side and said sweetly: "Brother Zheng, I wish you a big hit in this new play, is there anything I can help with?"
Wang Guxian is dressed very pure and cute today, with a long gray doll shirt, with a simple hemp rope as a belt, the slender figure is golden section, and a denim jacket with a black ponytail shows the temperament of the girl next door.
Looking at the innocent and lovely Wang Guxian, Wang Zheng smiled slightly: "Thank you Xiaoxian for your auspicious words, the company has arranged everything properly, there is nothing to be busy with, Xiaoxian, you just wait for the movie to start." ”
"Oh. ”
The two of them became speechless for a while, and after a while, Wang Guxian looked down at his toes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, are you with Sister Guan?"
Wang Zheng was stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know why she asked, but she still replied with a smile: "Do you know even Xiaoxian, this news has spread too fast, I have been filming with Jiahui for a long time, and I only made our relationship public in the circle a few days ago." ”
After listening to Wang Zheng's affirmative answer, Wang Guxian, who looked down at his toes, slowly raised his head, looked at Wang Zheng with a pair of bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister Guan is really lucky, I can find someone like Brother Zheng, no matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead, I hope that Sister Guan and Brother Zheng can go on happily." ”
After a pause, he said: "I won't leave the red carpet when I wait, I'll go to the screening room first to get a good viewing position, I can't wait to see Brother Zheng's movie!"
After Wang Guxian finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Zheng to answer, and walked into the theater screening hall alone.
Wang Zheng didn't know if Wang Guxian was really impatient, or if he deliberately avoided him, and always felt that she had become a little abnormal after learning about her relationship with Guan Zhilin.
"Oops, tsk, Joe, I didn't expect you to be so popular with girls, look at the little beauty just now. ”
As soon as Wang Zheng felt that Wang Guxian was acting a little abnormal, Mei Yanfang, the queen of variety, walked over with a strange mouth, until the former glared angrily, she returned to normal, and said with a light smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, it should be Ah Zheng, but to be honest, Ah Zheng, your charm is really not small, the front foot just captured the first beauty in Xiangjiang, Guan Meiren's heart, and the back foot made the first beauty of the treasure island jealous." ”
Wang Zheng still couldn't immune to Mei Yanfang's straightforward temperament, and asked with black lines: "What do you mean?"
As soon as Wang Zheng said this, Mei Yanfang looked surprised, and asked uncertainly: "Are you really not seeing it, or are you pretending to be stupid with me?"
Wang Zheng threw her a roll of the eye and said, "What are you pretending to be stupid, if you want to say that Xiaoxian is jealous, it is unlikely, she is only seventeen years old this year, what kind of vinegar do you eat?"
Mei Yanfang pursed her lips and said with disdain: "You are still a big director and screenwriter in Xiangjiang, what's wrong with being seventeen, sister, when I was seventeen, my boyfriends had already changed several times." ”
"Isn't it?"
Wang Zheng was surprised when he heard this, not because he was surprised by the early love deeds of the Queen of Change, but because Wang Guxian was surprised that he was interesting.
Once upon a time, Wang Zheng was still a nameless junior who was not noticed by everyone, when he met Zhou Xingchi, he behaved like a chatter, and when he met Zhou Runfa and Chenlong, he repeatedly introduced his name at the meeting, and he could get Guan Zhilin's heart, and he was also debunking the scum Wang Guojing in front, and now he is favored by the seventeen-year-old goddess, and he doesn't know how to react for a while.
Seeing Wang Zheng's dazed appearance, Mei Yanfang thought that he was surprised that he was too abusive, and hurriedly emphasized: "Of course, several relationships are only limited to walking the street holding hands, sister, I am not such a casual person." ”
Wang Zheng temporarily suppressed the surprise in his heart, and his face recovered a little indifferent, Mei Yanfang, who was one year younger than himself but claimed to be a sister in vain, said with a smile: "I don't have to worry about Sister Mei, the premiere is about to start, Sister Mei should prepare for a solo show on the red carpet!"
When Mei Yanfang heard this, she turned around in place and said with a smug smile: "A solo show is one of the purposes of my coming here today. ”
Wang Zheng noticed that she had changed into a new look today, with a leather jacket and flared jeans, and a pair of big sunglasses hanging on her chest.
After admiring the cowboy style of the Queen of Variety, Wang Zheng asked curiously: "One of the purposes?
Mei Yanfang smiled: "Of course, the second thing is to stare at you for Zhizhi to see if you have done anything sorry for her." ”
Wang Zheng: "......"
Subsequently, the red carpet of the premiere of "Prison Storm" officially began, and a drama that belonged to men was stolen by Mei Yanfang, the queen of variety.
