"Ahh You're still coming! Not long after Wen Bixuan and Zhong Fa left, Luo Meiwei's exclamation suddenly came from Xu Cun's bedroom.

After a while, Luo Meiwei's moaning mixed with the shaking of the bed came from Xu Cun's bedroom......

……

When Xu Cun and Luo Meiwei were doing something shameless, the three bosses of Garbo Film Company - Mecca, Hong Jinbao, Liu Jiarong and Chen Xunqi, the soundtrack of "Tiger Field Chicken", walked into the Li stage with a movie ticket.

Along with Mecca and others, there were also many audiences who saw the film review.

……

The attendance rates for the first three shows of "Happy Ghost" on the first day were:

In the first show, the average attendance rate of the 16 Shaw Brothers cinemas was 34.7 per cent.

In the second performance, the average attendance rate of the 16 Shaw Brothers cinemas was 37.2 per cent.

In the third show, the average attendance rate of the 16 Shaw Brothers cinemas was 41.6 per cent.

Zhong Zhen estimated that the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day should be around 240,000.

In the Hutchison Tea Restaurant, Zhong Zhen's hands trembled a little when he looked at this number - recently, Zhong Zhen has made up a lot of knowledge related to movies. Therefore, she knows that the 240,000 first-day box office can already enter the top ten of last year's first-day box office.

Zhong Zhen took two deep breaths, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and didn't call Xu Cun, who was chatting with Luo Meiwei - Zhong Zhen's box office was only calculated by her and DreamWorks employees repeatedly watching "Happy Ghost" in sixteen Shaw Brothers theaters, and it was not accurate. What is the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day, we have to wait until all five "Happy Ghost" screenings are completed today.

After putting away the box office he had calculated, Zhong Zhen ate the pineapple bun in front of him again, and then left Hutchison for the headquarters of Shaw Brothers Cinemas......

……

"What do you think?" After watching "Happy Ghost", Mecca asked Hong Jinbao and others.

"Our "Tiger Field Chicken" may have a close enemy." Liu Jiarong answered.

"It should be the enemy." Hong Jinbao corrected.

"I agree with Brother Sanmao." Chen Xunqi said.

"The two films don't belong to the same genre, so it's not like we don't have a chance, after all, there are many audiences who like kung fu movies." Liu Jiarong argued.

"There is too much difference between the two films, whether it is in terms of picture clarity or music system, our "Tiger and Chicken" has lost. I have a hunch that "Happy Ghost" may be the biggest winner this year. Chen Xunqi said.

When Chen Xunqi said this, Mecca's face was quite ugly - although Chen Xunqi was saying objective facts, it was difficult for Mecca, as the director of "Tiger Field Chicken", to accept this reality.

Chen Xunqi didn't see Mecca's face, but he didn't care - he and Hong Jinbao had cooperated a few times, and the personal relationship between the two was also good, so he made the soundtrack for "Tiger Field Chicken". But director Mecca attaches more importance to humorous martial arts design, and is not too willing to work more on the soundtrack, so he also acted as an animator in "Tiger Field Chicken". The soundtrack artist is not an animator , so Chen Xunqi has long been a little dissatisfied with Mecca, to be more precise, he is not very satisfied with the directors he has made and has made, and to make it clear, Chen Xunqi wants to be a director himself.

Mecca is not a stingy person, and he also knows that what Chen Xunqi said is an objective fact, and he just can't accept this fact for a while.

After being silent for a while, Mecca sighed and said, "I hope our "Tiger Field Chicken" won't lose too badly!" Then Mecca asked, "Which of you knows this Xu Cun?" ”

"I know, we mixed with the crew of "Fa Qian Han" last year, and he was still Wu Yusen's assistant to the director at that time." Chen Xunqi answered.

"Do you know who he learned to make movies with?" Mecca looked at Chen Xunqi and asked.

"I don't know. I only know that he is the author of the novel "Ethereal Journey" serialized in "Oriental Daily", and it seems that the TV series "Shanghai Tang" broadcast on radio some time ago is also based on his novel, and he also knows the soundtrack, and the soundtrack level is not below me. Chen Xunqi replied.

"I know him too, A-Ying is with him now." Hong Jinbao said.

"A-Ying? Lin Zhengying? Mecca turned her head to Hong Jinbao and asked.

"Hmm. There are also Dong Wei and Ah Fa. Hong Jinbao nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Jinbao said again: "I heard A-Ying say that Xu Cun swam over from the mainland. ”

"Uh, he's a mainland boy?" Mecca was stunned.

"Hmm." Hong Jinbao nodded and replied.

"A dragon crossing the river!" Mecca sighed.

Immediately, Mecca wondered a little: "Now, is the level of filmmaking on the mainland so high?" ”

No one answered Mecca, because no one knew the answer to the question.

……

The average attendance rate on the first day of Happy Ghost was 39.2%, and the box office on the first day was more than 260,000, which was 20,000 more than Zhong Zhen's calculation.

……

The next day.

The average attendance rate of "Happy Ghost" rose to 48.5 percent, and the room tickets rose to 320,000.

On the same day, "Tiger Field Chicken" was co-screened in ten theaters of Golden Harvest. Relying on the box office appeal of Hong Jinbao and Liu Jiarong, its first-day box office was higher than that of "Happy Ghost", reaching 280,000.

……

Day 3.

The average attendance rate of "Happy Ghost" rose to 59.6 percent, and the room ticket price rose to 395,000.

The box office of "Tiger Field Chicken" fell to 250,000.

……

Day 4.

The box office of "Tiger Field Chicken" fell to 180,000.

……

On the sixth and seventh days, almost all of the Shaw Brothers' 16 theaters were full, and the box office exceeded 600,000.

The box office of "Tiger Field Chicken" fell to 150,000 and 140,000.

……

Weekly statistics.

Happy Ghost's first-week box office reached 3.24 million.

The box office of "Tiger Field Chicken", which was released at the same time, was only 910,000 in the first week.

As soon as this achievement appeared, it immediately caused a big earthquake in the Xiangjiang film circle - according to this momentum, "Happy Ghost" is likely to become the first film in Xiangjiang to exceed 10 million.

All of a sudden, all filmmakers and all media in Hong Kong focused on "Happy Ghost".

Thanks to the blessing of "Happy Ghost", Xu Cun's name is also known to Xiangjiang filmmakers and media.
