Chapter 569: Shaolin Temple
Five days after the release of "Gunfire", it can almost be said that there is no possibility of a big hit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The box office on the night of the premiere of "Gunfire" was 174,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a very good number compared to the seats in the Shengdi Cinema Line.
On the first day, the box office of "Gunfire" was 458,000 Hong Kong dollars, the second day was 437,000 Hong Kong dollars, the third day was 419,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the fourth day was 402,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The daily full box office of Shengdi Cinema should be 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of 458,000 Hong Kong dollars on the first day is actually very good, with an average attendance rate of more than 70% and 5%, and an average attendance rate of more than 70% on the second day, but on the third day, it is almost an average attendance rate of 70%, and the fourth day is even lower, and the fifth day is no exception.
With such a box office trend, if there is no accident, the film will definitely not be able to match the big hit, and the box office of the film is getting lower and lower.
Compared with "Gunfire", "Clever Tricks and Five Lucky Stars" was released earlier than "Gunfire", but so far, the film still has a box office of about 600,000 Hong Kong dollars per day, which has something to do with the seats in the light curtain theaters, but also has something to do with the excellence of the film itself.
"Five Lucky Stars" was a big hit, and Hung Jinbao couldn't wait to hold a celebration banquet, but Lei Juewen said to him and asked him to wait until the film was released on Hong Kong Island before celebrating, so he gave up.
On this day, Lei Juewen was invited by Xia Meng to go to her home. Lei Juewen knew that Xia Meng invited him to her house, it was definitely not because he wanted to have a tryst with him, but because he had something to do with him, and it was likely that the mainland wanted him to help do something.
When he came to Xia Meng's house, Lei Juewen rang the doorbell, and Xia Meng came out to open the door for him.
Walking into the living room, Lei Juewen saw Shi Hui sitting on the sofa in the living room, the second princess among the three princesses back then, and now the director of the Great Wall Production Actors Office.
Xia Meng took Lei Juewen over and said, "Lei Sheng, this is Shi Hui, you saw it last time." ”
"Hello, Ms. Shi!"
Lei Juewen took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook Shi Hui.
"Mr. Lei, meet again!"
Shi Hui nodded politely, after all, she was asking for someone today.
Sitting down on the sofa, when Xia Meng went to make coffee, Lei Juewen said loudly: "Ms. Shi, you want to see me today, right?" ”
Shi Hui didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes, I have a favor and ask Mr. Lei to help." ”
"You say, if it wasn't difficult, I could help."
Lei Juewen didn't refuse immediately, if it wasn't a big deal, he wouldn't mind helping.
"That's right!"
Shi Hui said: "For some reasons, there is a need for a positive report on Hong Kong Island on the mainland, and Mr. Lei, you have a lot of media resources, so please do me a favor." ”
Lei Juewen somewhat understands why the mainland needs a positive report, because if he remembers correctly, Margaret Thatcher will go to the mainland next year to conduct negotiations on the Hong Kong Island issue, so the mainland naturally needs a positive report on the mainland, which is conducive to negotiations with Margaret Thatcher.
But you know that Lei Juewen really can't do this in this matter, and if he does, then his position is towards the mainland in the eyes of all parties, and he can face the mainland in his heart, but he can't express his position, which is extremely detrimental to his career. The most important thing is that the mainland has not yet opened its market to him, and he has said that he will not benefit from anything, and that he will only lose many markets at that time, and he will suffer heavy losses for no reason.
Lei Juewen did not refuse directly, but said euphemistically: "Ms. Shi, your leaders didn't come to me, they are actually mentally prepared, this matter is very difficult for me." ”
Of course Shi Hui knew this, when she came, the people above had already told her that it was not very successful, and she just asked her to give it a try, but she wanted to convince Lei Juewen.
"Mr. Lei, I won't say some big words and empty words, we can all feel your friendly attitude towards the mainland, I think you can become a person like Mr. Huo Lao and contribute to the motherland."
Lei Juewen shook his head when he heard this, and had no choice but to say bluntly: "Ms. Shi, I really can't do this matter, I'm going to disappoint you." ”
Seeing Lei Juewen's direct refusal, Shi Hui couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and thought for a while: "That's it, the Great Wall invested in a film last year, filmed on the mainland, and it is now close to completion, and it will be screened on the mainland first, and when it comes to screening on Hong Kong Island, the company will invite the martial arts team on the mainland to carry out publicity, and I hope that the media under your name Mr. Lei can help carry out some positive publicity, what do you think?" ”
Lei Juewen's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "What is the name of this film?" ”
Shi Huidao: "Shaolin Temple, the same name as the Shaolin Temple in Songshan. ”
"Sure enough!"
Lei Juewen secretly said in his heart, nodded and said: "This problem is not big, but there is one thing I want to say, that is, if this is a good movie, if it is a bad movie, you want me to help say good things, and I am not good at it, don't you say?" ”
"I still understand this, if the film is not good enough, I won't make it difficult for you."
Shi Hui nodded and said that she understood, if it was a bad movie, of course she would not be able to ask the media under Lei Juewen's name to praise the bad movie, even if Lei Juewen was willing, she couldn't afford to lose that face.
Lei Juewen's agreement to help made Shi Hui understand that Lei Juewen should have his heart on the mainland, but once it comes to major issues of right and wrong, because of the relationship between Lei Juewen's career on Hong Kong Island, he will not stand on the mainland's side, just like he is unwilling to help this time. In this regard, Shi Hui does not blame Lei Juewen, because Lei Juewen's willingness to help is her love for the motherland, and she can't ask the other party to help the motherland without a career.
After talking about business, Lei Juewen and Shi Hui chatted happily, both of them were in the entertainment industry, so they talked about movies.
After a while, Xia Meng came over with coffee and joined in the chat.
More than an hour later, Shi Hui said that she was the first to say goodbye and leave, and Xia Meng sent her away.
After coming back, only Lei Juewen and Xia Meng were left, and Xia Meng asked Lei Juewen to leave, don't stay here for too long, so as not to gossip after being known.
In fact, this is just Xia Meng's weak heart, if it is really based on age, the gap between the two is huge, and outsiders will never think about the two in terms of improper relationships, but she herself is weak-hearted, so she will think that others will think about the relationship between the two in a complicated direction.
