After the end of "Happy Ghost", the audience in the screening hall stood up, applauding enthusiastically and applauding loudly.

"It's so funny, my stomach hurts from laughing tonight."

"It's indeed a rare classic, I must let Ah Ming and them come and see it."

"Lang Lang's ability to make up stories is really reassuring, and all Lang Lang's movies are definitely worth looking forward to."

"There are many plots in the movie that are similar to my campus life, and I really hope that Lang Lang can make more campus movies like this in the future."

"Don't say anything, I'll watch it again."

Hearing everyone's discussions, Chen Lang felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart, and the hard-working movie could be recognized by everyone, this feeling of relief was like a glass of ice water in the hot summer, which made the pores of the whole body open up, refreshing and infinite.

When he walked out of the screening hall, listening to the audience around him happily talking about "Happy Ghost", Chen Lang smiled, and when he saw many audiences buying tickets again, he was even more happy.

No matter what the box office on the first day was, seeing that the audience loved his first movie so much, Chen Lang was content.

After leaving the theater, Chen Lang came to a café and waited for everyone to arrive.

Because of the hasty release of "Happy Ghost", everyone was worried about the box office, so it was decided that everyone would go to a Shaw Brothers cinema to check the attendance rate on the spot.

In fact, the attendance rate and box office and other data, the theater chain has statistics, but it will have to wait until tomorrow, but everyone who is anxious still feels that seeing is believing, otherwise they are not at ease.

Rather than being in a hurry here, it is better to go to the cinema, observe by yourself, and then gather after the movie screening is over, and report the situation of each theater.

Otherwise, Chen Lang would not have watched his first movie in the theater alone, because everyone had gone their separate ways.

Chen Lang was obviously the first to arrive, and after waiting for about ten minutes, Chen Baixiang rushed over, and in the next twenty minutes, everyone arrived one after another.

Chen Lang saw that everyone's faces were more complicated, but unfortunately he was excited at the same time, and it was estimated that the result should be similar to his own.

"The theater I watched, the attendance rate is less than 40%, but everyone loves the film very much, and there are many audiences who buy tickets to watch it for the second time, what is the situation in other theaters?" Chen Lang spoke first.

"The situation on my side is similar to what Lang Lang said." Wang Fatzi said with regret, obviously thinking that if "Happy Ghost" was not released in a hurry, it would definitely be able to get a good box office, because the audience's response was very good.

"Me too." Chen Baixiang said.

"Me too." Zhong Chuhong looked at her little lover with some concern, as if she was worried that her boyfriend, who had been going well, would be disappointed.

The same is true of the news brought by the three girls, Chen Lang laughed when he heard this.

"It seems that the situation is very good, although the attendance rate is not high, but that is because the release of the movie was too hasty, but everyone has also seen the audience's response, I believe that in a few days, everyone knows that "Happy Ghost" will be released, the box office will be better, and "Happy Ghost" will definitely be a big hit."

Everyone also laughed when they heard this, "Yes, the response is so good, and when word of mouth spreads, the box office will only get higher and higher in the future." ”

Only Wang Fatzi frowned, and Chen Lang, who saw Wang Fatzi's reaction, asked curiously, "What's wrong Director Wang, the current situation should be optimistic, right?" ”

"It's bad because Shaw only gave us a week." Wang Jing sighed.

"What do you mean?" Everyone was stunned, including Chen Lang.

"Manager Fang Yihua told me that if the box office of "Happy Ghost" in the first week does not reach 5 million, then Shaw Brothers will directly draw "Happy Ghost" and release the previously arranged "Planting Ghosts"."

"5 million a week, today is the first day, and the attendance rate is not high, what should I do?" Li Lizhen exclaimed when she heard this.

Other people also frowned, today's attendance rate is a good indication that there are definitely not many people who know that "Happy Ghost" will be released, otherwise with Chen Lang's appeal, it will be able to reach at least sixty percent of the attendance.

Movies are really a very complex art, not only do they need wonderful content and plots, but they also need to have a good schedule, and publicity must be in place, otherwise it is likely that a movie that can sell well, but the final results are far from expectations.

For various reasons, the adverse consequences of the hasty release of "Happy Ghost" were revealed at this time.

Chen Lang is a little strange, half of the investment in "Happy Ghost" comes from Shaw Brothers, and if the movie can be a big hit, Shaw Brothers will also make a profit.

Now what "Happy Ghost" needs is time, as long as word of mouth spreads, then it will not be difficult for the box office to be a hit, but Shaw Brothers has set a high index for "Happy Ghost", which is really confusing.

Chen Lang frowned, saw Wang Jing, who was also helpless, and suddenly thought that this request seemed to have been made by Fang Yihua, and now the specific person in charge of Shaw Brothers Film Company is this woman.

Chen Lang does not take Fang Yihua's henchman Xu Daohua seriously at all in Huaxing, and now he has not renewed his contract with Huaxing Records, plus Fang Yihua has always been the main supporter of the closure of Shaw Brothers Film Company.

Chen Lang seems to have figured out the reason, Fang Yihua may want to make things difficult for Chen Lang, but I am more afraid that he still doesn't want the Shaw Brothers to continue to survive, and it is in line with Fang Yihua's mind to close it directly.

But Chen Lang just hopes that the Shaw Brothers can survive for a few more days, and when he has a firm foothold and enough wealth, then he can swallow the emaciated camel of the Shaw Brothers, just like buying the former music kingdom Haishan Records.

In the 70s, Taiwan's Haishan Records and Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers Film Company were called the two dream factories, which was also Chen Lang's goal, and now that he has mastered one of them, the other naturally cannot be missed.

However, Chen Lang still needs to accumulate and become famous in the film industry, so as to achieve the feat of swallowing an elephant and directly make his film company one of the overlords of the Hong Kong film industry, so before Chen Lang is fully ready, Shaw Brothers cannot die.

Zhong Chuhong was a little distressed when she saw Chen Lang who was frowning, and held one of Chen Lang's hands to express her comfort and support.

Chen Lang felt Zhong Chuhong's intentions, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, and then exhaled deeply and said, "The audience obviously recognizes the movie, if the release time is guaranteed, then it will definitely be able to get a good box office, although it is difficult to get a box office of 5 million in a week, it is not impossible."

What we need to do now is to let everyone know that "Happy Ghost" has been released and is a good film to attract everyone to watch it. ”

"I know a lot of friends in the circle, and I can ask them to recommend "Happy Ghost" in front of the media." Chen Baixiang opened his mouth and said, as a host and actor, Brother Ka knows a lot of people.

"I'll ask my friends to recommend it too." Zhong Chuhong naturally supports her boyfriend.

"I've already told my friends in the circle." Wang Fatzi said.

"We can only inform our friends and family." The three girls whispered.

"As long as everyone does their best, then it will definitely succeed, don't forget that I definitely have a lot of fans, and the fans who came to the theater today definitely didn't reach the maximum, believe me!" Chen Lang said confidently.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, obviously as a phenomenal singer in the current music world, Chen Lang's influence is incomparable, especially the impact on young people, today's less than forty percent of the audience is definitely not the limit of Chen Lang's appeal.

Seeing that everyone's mood was no longer tense, Chen Lang smiled, "Then let's go our separate ways, I believe that my movie will definitely be able to get a box office of 5 million a week." ”

"Good!"

Then everyone separated and worked hard for the box office of "Happy Ghost".

Chen Lang and Zhong Chuhong returned to Zhong Chuhong's apartment, and after kissing for a while, they picked up the phone separately and called their relatives and friends.

"Ah Fa, I'm Honggu."

Chen Lang was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that Zhong Chuhong should have called Fa brother Chow Yun-fat.

Although the current Fa Ge has a reputation as a "box office poison", he still has a lot of influence, but except for meeting once at the TVB annual conference, Chen Lang and his favorite actor have never met again.

Chen Lang shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and then called Xu Guanjie, at this time, Xu Guanjie is not only the first brother in the Hong Kong music industry, but also one of the well-deserved superstars in the film industry, and even one of the candidates for the first brother in the film industry.

Hui won four box office titles in the Hong Kong film industry in the 70s with the four films of his eldest brother Hui Guanwen, including a triple crown.

Entering the 80s, Xu Guanjie once again achieved three consecutive annual box office championships with the first two parts of "Modern Bodyguard" and "Best Partner", and the third part of next year's "Best Partner" won the championship again, which directly sent Xu Guanjie into the Hall of Fame of Hong Kong films, and the great cause of four consecutive championships is brilliant in film history.

"Hey, it's Sam, I'm Lang Lang."

"Why did you kid remember to call me, is it begging for mercy." Xu Guanjie laughed.

"It's not certain who wins and who loses."

Chen Lang smiled, because it was the end of the year, 1984 was coming, and the awards season that made countless stars crazy was getting closer and closer.

Compared with the Hong Kong Film Awards, which have not yet fully developed, the competition for the three major awards ceremonies in the Hong Kong music scene has attracted everyone's attention more, and Xu Guanjie and Chen Lang, as the two biggest favorites, have once again been hyped by the media as the second battle between the old and the new.

"I want to ask your idol to help me promote my movie "Happy Ghost", which has been officially released today, but the attendance rate is less than 40%."

""Happy Ghost" has already been released? How did I not know? Xu Guanjie was very surprised.

"Because of the theater chain, it was released in a hurry, so few people know about it." Chen Lang said in a low voice and didn't say much.

Xu Guanjie shook his head, obviously knowing that there must be something hidden here, but he also knew that there was no way to do these things, so he didn't say more, "Of course it's no problem, I just want to see how your first movie is." ”

"Then thank you idol." Chen Lang said happily when he heard this.

The two then hung up after chatting a little more about the awards season.

After Chen Lang hung up the phone, he called Chen Baiqiang, Andy Lau, Alan Tam, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Shen Dianxia and Jing Daiyin, who were not very familiar with him, and asked everyone to help promote the movie.

Subsequently, "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", "Ming Pao", "Cheng Pao" and "Hong Kong Economic Daily" received a call from Chen Lang again, and the only request was the headline on the front page, and money was not a problem.

was busy until late, Chen Lang simply washed up and returned to bed, Zhong Chuhong saw the exhaustion of his lover, and hugged Chen Lang tightly.

The two of them lay on the bed like this until the phone rang.

"Lang Lang, I'm Wang Jing, the box office statistics of "Happy Ghost" on the first day are out."
