Early the next morning, Lei Juewen arranged for bodyguards to send letters, and he came to the theater company, ready to learn about the current box office situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Except for the night of the premiere, today is the twelfth day of the release of "A Thousand Kings", and the box office of the first eleven days and the night of the premiere adds up to a total of 5.33 million Hong Kong dollars, and yesterday's box office was more than 410,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if nothing happens today, the box office will fall to 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Judging from the current box office trend, "A Thousand Kings" will continue to be screened for five or six days and receive a box office of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which should be no problem. In this case, the box office of the film "A Thousand Kings" may be 7 million Hong Kong dollars, which is only 500,000 Hong Kong dollars less than the box office of "A Thousand Kings and a Thousand Tyrants".

The investment cost of "A Thousand Kings" is about the same as that of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", the former is a little higher than the cost of the latter actors, but the publicity cost is relatively low, plus Wang Jing's control of the shooting cost, the investment cost of the two is actually about the same.

Lei Juewen is very satisfied with the box office of "A Thousand Kings", and at this time, he can't help but think about whether to let Wang Jing shoot the next story of "A Thousand Kings". doesn't want "Qianba" to have a box office of 7 million Hong Kong dollars, as long as there is 4 million Hong Kong dollars, he will make a steady profit. Lei Juewen was moved, but at present, he has not made up his mind whether to shoot or not, so he is temporarily stranded.

The light curtain cinema has gained a lot, but the Shaw Brothers cinema has changed two films in these days, one of which was only released for seven days and has won a box office of more than one million, and now it is a new film, and the box office is still very unsatisfactory, and it is expected that when the next file comes, the box office will be more than one million Hong Kong dollars.

In fact, for Shaw Brothers, the box office of more than one million Hong Kong dollars is actually profitable, because the investment cost of his films is extremely low, but watching other people's light curtain cinemas and Golden Harvest cinemas make a lot of money, Shaw Yifu is naturally dissatisfied and a little unbalanced.

"Money is Strange" released by Golden Harvest Cinema is still being screened, but it only has a box office of about 200,000 Hong Kong dollars a day, and the next file is a matter of one or two days, and the current box office of "Money is Strange" is about 4.1 million, and when it is lower, it is not much higher.

The film "Money is Strange" naturally made money, but Zou Wenhuai was not satisfied, first, the box office of this film lost to "A Thousand Kings" of the Light Curtain Theater, which made Zou Wenhuai very unhappy; Second, the box office of "Money is Strange" is half less than that of "Funny Times", which has a box office of 9 million Hong Kong dollars. When co-author Wu Yusen was making films for outside companies, the box office was higher than that of his own company, which made Zou Wenhuai happy. Although Zou Wenhuai knew that Wu Yusen was no wonder, after all, "Money Made Trouble" made money, but he was still unhappy in his heart, but he just wouldn't show it.

At present, "A Thousand Kings" can still be released for five or six days, but in terms of publicity, the film "Happy Fairy Nest" has already begun to be promoted. And the film "Ghost Fighting Ghost" that Hung Jinbao is currently filming has also been completed, and only the editing is needed.

The editing of "Ghost Fights Ghost" was Lei Juewen himself, after he edited "Crazy Stone", he began to edit this film, and he has just started to use the knife, but fortunately, there is time, it will definitely be in time.

In terms of the screening arrangement of the theater, "Ghost Fighting" is the successor of "Happy Fairy Nest", and "Crazy Stone" is the successor of "Ghost Fighting", and when these three films are released, it will be almost the time of summer vacation, and that time is the time for "Happy Ghost" to be released.

And Wang Jing is about to shoot the idea he proposed last time, which is called "The Legend of the Sparrow Heroes". This film is still in the casting stage, Wang Jing recommended Xie Xian as the protagonist, but Lei Juewen didn't want him to be the protagonist, the reason is very simple, Xie Xian is a person from the Shaw Brothers, he has no reason to train artists for the Shaw Brothers, and it is not a series of films like "A Thousand Kings", so the original protagonist must be used. Instead of letting Xie Xian be the protagonist, it is better to cultivate ATV's own people, and the salary can be less.

In addition to Wang Jing's upcoming film, Lei Juewen himself will definitely shoot a film in the future, not to mention "Best Partner" in Xinyicheng, once "Happy Fairy Nest" is a big hit, there will definitely be a film to shoot.

In this way, the Light Curtain Cinema Line is currently able to be self-sufficient under the supply of the two companies Light Curtain Film and New Art City, and there is no need to go outside to find films to be released like last time.

However, Lei Juewen was full of pride about the lack of film screenings in the theaters last time, and he no longer had the regret of his original mistake, if it wasn't for his mistake, how could he get Lin Fengjiao to Hong Kong Island, if Lin Fengjiao didn't come, there would be no relationship between the two, and Lin Fengjiao would not become his woman.

The number of theaters has expanded to 17, and three are still under renovation, and it is expected that the construction will be completed in five to ten days, and then the film can be screened.

The newly built cinemas behind Lei Juewen are all multi-cinema theater models, which are the same as Hollywood's, and different from the cinema models on Hong Kong Island today, with two to four screening halls, mainly depending on the size of the theater.

Of course, if you do this, the cost of each theater will naturally be much higher. However, it is not without benefits, firstly, there are more seats in the cinema, and secondly, the films that can be shown in the cinema are easier to be flexible, and there will not be only one film at the same time. It's just that this effect is not currently used in theaters, and it will only be used when the number of films shot by light curtain film and television increases in the future.

At present, the theater chain has earned more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars through the three films "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", "Funny Times" and "A Thousand Kings", for this money, Lei Juewen was originally going to use it to repay the bank loan, and the establishment of the Southeast Asian theater chain, 130 million Hong Kong dollars is not enough at all, he still borrowed 50 million Hong Kong dollars from the bank to invest it, which is temporarily supported. However, after realizing the ability of the comic industry to attract money, he has changed his mind and decided to keep the money and the income of the three films in the film company and peripheral companies and invest it in the comic industry to obtain greater profits.

As for the repayment of bank loans, Lei Juewen decided to put it first, he still didn't believe it, and the profitability of his various companies would not be as good as the bank's monthly loan interest.

In the afternoon, Lei Juewen went to the Peninsula Hotel, where he made an appointment to come for tea. (To be continued.) )
