It is mediocrity that is not envied!

Zhang Shaojie is a genius among geniuses in the minds of most people.

So every time Zhang Shaojie is in the limelight, he will usher in some public opinion attacks.

Even the small cost of "Happy Ghost" has been attacked, and it can be seen that many filmmakers are afraid of Zhang Shaojie himself and Baolong Company!

In the past few years, Baolong Film Company has made a blockbuster every year, which has caused headaches for many film companies.

Now that Baolong Film Company has begun to produce low-budget comedy films, is it about to usher in the era of Baolong's dominance of the Hong Kong film industry?

Dominating the Hong Kong film industry? If anyone precedes this fallacy in front of Zhang Shaojie, Zhang Shaojie will definitely spray him with spittle.

dominates the Hong Kong film industry, is it useful? The market size of only two or three billion Hong Kong dollars a year, even in the early 90s, once reached a scale of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, and entered the peak era. But it soon continued to fall, and since then it has only been about six or seven billion Hong Kong dollars.

By 2011, although the Hong Kong film market had stabilized, it even exceeded the scale of HK$1.3 billion. However, most of the box office is created by films from all over the world, and the films that are truly local to Hong Kong only account for about 27% of the local box office market.

Therefore, companies that just look at the local box office in Hong Kong have no future.

The film industry is becoming more and more global, and if it cannot become a global film company, sooner or later it will fall under the iron hooves of Hollywood

"Shaojie, the media has begun to focus on attacking your affair again!" Gu Long quipped.

Zhang Shaojie touched his nose and said, "Let them say it, anyway, it's not a scandal, and it proves that my charm is unstoppable." ”

Gu Long slapped him with a smile and said, "Is it still unstoppable charm?" It's because young people are physically strong, so they can have energy. When I was young, I had a lot of girlfriends, but when I got older, no matter how beautiful my female surname was, I rarely provoked it. The body can't bear it."

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Do you want to send you a few boxes of aphrodisiacs?" ”

"you, I don't need that thing yet!" Gu Long suddenly said with a dark face.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Just kidding, Brother Gulong, you won't be angry, right?" ”

Gu Long naturally didn't get angry, but boasted about the great achievements of the year, what ten times in one night, seven women in the night and so on. Because Gu Long blew too much, Zhang Shaojie could only listen to Xuan Xuan.

However, after talking too much about the topic of male surnames, Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but think of the "viagra" that will be popular all over the world in the future.

"Viagra" is a new type of aphrodisiac with a male surname that was born in 98. Because it can indeed have an immediate effect, it quickly became popular all over the world and became the fist product of Ruihui Pharmaceutical Company! As a result, when many people think of Ruihui Pharmaceutical, their first impression is often Viagra.

How awesome is "Viagra", with an average annual sales of $2 billion, and the production cost is negligible. Zhang Shaojie almost couldn't help but want to invest in this super lucrative pill.

However, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Shaojie shook his head.

I don't know anything about the ingredients of Viagra, I just know the name of Viagra. The threshold of the pharmaceutical industry is quite high. In particular, the research and development of new drugs that are popular all over the world is not something that ordinary companies can do.

Fortunately, Zhang Shaojie knows that in the future, Ruihui Pharmaceutical will come out with Viagra and its performance will rise sharply, which will inevitably bring huge investment benefits. Maybe by the 90s, the stock of Ruihui Pharmaceutical can be used as an investment reference

—————————— Golden Harvest was originally in the early 80s, facing the impact of "New Arts City Pictures + Golden Princess Cinemas", its local market share in Hong Kong declined.

However, in the global market, the scale of Golden Harvest has expanded.

In '81, Golden Harvest had just over 180 cinema chains in Asia. By the beginning of '83, it had expanded to more than 250 movie theaters.

At this time, Golden Harvest occupied 30% of the cinema market in Hong Kong, while Golden Harvest basically monopolized 60% of the cinema market in Singapore. In addition, there are 15 cinema chains in Taiwan's Golden Harvest, and in Yueben, South Korea and other places, they have also begun to try to invest in cinema chains.

Although "Happy Ghost" is not a big production, but for Baolong's confidence, Golden Harvest still went all out to carry out the publicity and promotion of "Happy Ghost".

In front of more than 20 movie theaters in Hong Kong, huge promotional posters for "Happy Ghosts" have been pasted. The ticket sales staff of Golden Harvest Cinema Line were also sent to the street to distribute movie leaflets.

"Happy Ghost" is produced by Baolong Film Company and honorably released by Golden Harvest Cinemas. February 18 ~ February 20. Tickets cost HK$10 for a single person, half price for children, $15 for a couple, $20 for a family of 3, and $30 for a family of 5"

"If you want to watch a movie happily, just watch "Happy Ghost"!"

"Produced by Baolong, it must be a high-quality product!"

Massive cinema publicity, combined with TV media and print media publicity.

The box office of "Happy Ghost" is constantly on the rise.

By February 19, it received a box office of 650,000 Hong Kong dollars.

On February 20, the box office rose again to HK$670,000.

At this time, the audience of ordinary movies in Hong Kong mainly bought one or two movie tickets. However, because "Happy Ghost" is very pleasing to the young market, it has attracted couples, families, relatives and friends, and team tickets.

Moreover, many young students have felt good after watching "Happy Ghost", and they love the cute and attractive girls in the movie even more.

"It's over, it's over, I'm in love with Lin Jingjing"

"Lin Jingjing is so cute."

"Lin Xiaohua is beautiful, she is really tender like water, a lover in her dreams"

"Yan Ruyu's glasses are also very interesting!"

"That old witch-like Director Li is really amazing"

On campus, "Happy Ghost" has gradually become a popular topic, and the characters in this movie, such as Lin Jingjing, Lin Xiaohua, Yan Ruyu, etc., have become the idols of many boys and girls. Of course, Du Lisha's teaching master has also successfully become an annoying image of the teaching director in the eyes of students.

And many parents saw that Yan Ruyu was under pressure to study and cheating in exams in the movie, and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building. In the movie, there is a happy ghost who casts a spell to save her. But in real life, there are no "happy ghosts" to save those children who jump off the building because of the pressure of studying. Therefore, many parents have also begun to reflect on the pressure they put on their children, and also pay more attention to communicating with their children.

After seeing Lin Xiaohua encounter a negative man in the movie.

Some girls also nervously asked their boyfriends: "You can't be an irresponsible man, right?" ”

The boyfriend took the opportunity to confess and said: "Of course I am responsible, I wish you would marry me immediately!" The girl was shy and sweet: "To die, I have to think about it carefully." ”

Because of the interesting plots in "Happy Ghosts", and the girls with cute surnames, they have a huge attraction. So many viewers called friends again and again, and the whole family went to the cinema to watch this movie.

, when "Happy Ghost" is screened, every night or weekend, Golden Harvest Cinemas is always full! Such a high popularity is only inferior to the original super blockbusters such as "Modern Bodyguard" and "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

With the big hit of "Happy Ghost", it can at least drive the Golden Harvest Cinema Line to high box office revenue within a month

"Wang Jing, congratulations, the big sale of "Happy Ghost" is a foregone conclusion, and you are about to become a gold medal director!" Cheng Xiaodong, who was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the set, returned to Baolong Film Company in his busy schedule and greeted Wang Jing when he met him.

Wang Jing said modestly: "You are the gold medal director, "Happy Ghost" is only a comedy with a cost of 3 million, and it can only be mixed in a small pond in Asia. And "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a 50 million blockbuster, and it is a blockbuster that is going to sweep the world! Little brother doesn't dare to compare with your old man! ”

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned and said: "I'm an old man, I'm, am I old?" Pity me for being born in 53 years and only 31 years old! It's not a big deal for you, right? ”

Wang Jing smiled: "I was born in 55, 29!" Looks like it's right to call you big brother! ”

"Haha, a promising brother like you, I admit it!" Cheng Xiaodong said with a smile.

Wang Jing's ability has now gradually been talked about by the entire company.

At the first day of its release, the box office of "Happy Ghost" has exceeded 600,000, and the audience's reputation is also very high. It is expected that it is quite easy for this movie to break 10 million in Hong Kong.

If you add the box office in Taiwan and Singapore, it is conservatively estimated that it can sell more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

The box office of 20 million may not be high for Baolong at this time, but you must know that "Happy Ghost" is only produced at a small cost of 3 million.

Small cost, high box office, high ROI! ——This is what the vast majority of film investors in Hong Kong are pursuing!

Even Baolong, which is famous for making blockbusters, only makes one blockbuster a year on average! In the future, the number of small-budget films invested by Baolong will definitely far exceed the number of blockbusters.

Cheng Xiaodong also doesn't think that he has always been able to make 50 million-level blockbusters.

Say something that doesn't sound good - if "A Chinese Ghost Story" hits the street, it is estimated that he will have the opportunity to shoot 3 million small productions in the future.

It is precisely because of the huge pressure that Cheng Xiaodong is not arrogant, but is willing to make friends with a cutting-edge director like Wang Jing.

"Big brother!" Wang Jing also followed the wind and simply bowed.

Cheng Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's better to change the word, since we are in love, it's better to really bow down!" ”
