Chapter 232: Box Office Strength

"The Gambler" belongs to the third installment of the Genesis Film Company's gambling film series, and because it is a sequel movie, it is very popular.

Many people who have watched "God of Gamblers" and "The Saint of Gambling" are looking forward to this movie, everyone knows that this is a commercial gambling film, but after the commercial blockbuster is made, it is still the best choice for entertainment.

After all, the movie itself is used for entertainment and entertainment for many people, and only a very small number of film critics and literary youths will write a few thousand words of film reviews after watching a movie!

There was no agreement in advance, but Golden Harvest Film Company's investment in Yuan Kui's "Gambler" and Genesis Film Company's just-released "Gambler" collided very coincidentally!

The box office war of the same schedule has been staged twice before, both of which ended with the victory of Genesis Films.

For this reason, although "Gambler" is the work of director Yuan Kui, and director Yuan Kui has never been fixed in one company to make movies, such as Siyuan Pictures, Debao Film Company and Golden Harvest Film Company, all of which have asked Yuan Kui to make movies, and Yuan Kui's movies have basically been screened in cinemas under multiple cinema companies.

But entertainment reporters don't care about this, they only know that "Gambler" was invested by Golden Harvest Film Company, and it was eventually released in the cinemas under Golden Harvest Cinema Line.

So this time "Gambler" meets "Gambler", which is another head-to-head showdown between Genesis Films and Golden Harvest Films, so naturally we have to report it well!

In terms of time, the release date of "The Gambler" was a week earlier than "The Gambler", and the box office in the first week had reached 80 million, but after the release of "The Gambler" in the second week, it was immediately robbed of a lot of audiences, and as a result, the box office statistics in the second week fell to 48 million, a full 40% less!

And the box office of "The Gambler" has exceeded 120 million in the first week of its release, and it simply broke the 200 million mark two weeks later!

In terms of box office growth, it has surpassed "Gambler" by more than 40%, and with the extension of the next release time, the box office of the two movies will be more far away!

But Golden Harvest Film Company didn't think there was much of a problem, anyway, "Gambler" followed the gambling series of Genesis Film Company. And the investment is not too big, and Yuan Kui is not the main pillar of the company, so Golden Harvest Film Company is obviously not losing money this time!

Although the senior management of Golden Harvest Film Company thinks so, entertainment reporters always like to disgust them.

"Golden Harvest Film Company has faced Genesis Film Company three times. As a result, he suffered setbacks again and again, and lost three battles and three times! -- The Daily Times.

"Golden Harvest Company's film hegemony is not guaranteed, and Genesis Film Company has developed into a behemoth, and it seems to have a tendency to dominate the film industry!" -- Galaxy Entertainment News.

"The Genesis Film Company founded by Meng Chao has been less than three years ago. However, it is already a peerless at the box office, and many old film companies can't catch up, and even the former overlords of the film industry, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, have become defeated under them! -- "Yanjing City Daily".

……

It may be luck to win in one movie, but winning in multiple movies is definitely strength!

What's more, the Genesis Film Company founded by Meng Chao has now broken several box office records of Chinese films one after another, which has made countless government leaders engaged in cultural control shine on their faces, so the wording of many entertainment media is becoming more and more ruthless, but still no one has expressed any dissatisfaction!

After all, Genesis Film Company has been in the limelight for the past two years, and every movie is basically making money, and making money is not as simple as making a small amount of money, so there are powerful numbers in front of you. Who is qualified to stand up and touch its mold?

……

Entertainment reports like to use these two gambling films as gimmicks, and also create a scene that seems to be two movies fighting in the ring, and many netizens on the Internet have heated discussions.

"I personally prefer "The Gambler", in terms of actors, Andy and Xingzai, as well as Honggu, Wu Mengda and Meng Chao, the cast alone is much stronger than "Gambler", and Shan Liwen, who plays the villain, is also very interesting, this guy looks cheap, but the Ximen Qing played in the sketch of the Spring Festival Gala is really expressive!" - Baiyun Forum: JICKXIMAN.

""The Gambler" Zhou Xingchi is so funny that he stole a lot of the limelight from Andy. Although there are a lot of jokes in "Gambler", I feel that the charm of the two protagonists Zheng Yulin and Anita Mui is still not as good as Andy and Xingzai, and the funny Cheng dù is also better than "Gambler", so "Gambler" is higher at the box office, I personally think it is very reasonable! - Time Movie Network: Drilling in the stacks of books.

"Needless to say, "The Gambler". The third part of the Genesis Film Company's gambling film series, funny and fighting are all first-class and exciting, but among so many recent gambling films, "Gambling Tyrant" can indeed be said to be of higher quality, just the setting of the last frame Hong Guang to win the gambling game made me laugh for five minutes, Yuan Kui and Liu Zhenwei's "Gambling Tyrant" can be said to be very exciting! - Douban Sauce Forum: Godless Gun.

……

Golden Harvest Films and Genesis Films have been in the ring several times. In the end, it all ended in the defeat of Golden Harvest Film Company.

Therefore, Golden Harvest Film Company can be said to be very cautious in the scheduling of films, trying to avoid collisions with movies with the same theme as Genesis Film Company.

But because of this, the schedules of many film companies released by Golden Harvest Cinema Company have been completely broken up.

For example, Pan Disheng of Debao Film Company, the rich second generation of Xiangjiang only made movies for fun, and also wanted to pursue Yang Ziqiong, so he worked hard to make her popular, and did not hesitate to find Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun, two fierce people in the film industry, to cooperate.

However, after the slow development of Debao Film Company, Pan Disheng found that it was always a loss to have no cinema company of its own, because Debao Film Company's films were screened in Golden Harvest Cinemas and Great Wall Cinemas from the beginning.

It can be said that private theaters are also released, and state-run theaters are also released, but the results are not pleasing to both sides, and the schedule and film schedule given are the worst.

The good schedules on the Great Wall Cinema Line were left to Meng Chao's Genesis Film Company, and the good schedules on the Golden Harvest Cinema Line were left to the satellite company created by Cheng Long, which was highly praised by it, so Debao Film Company could only get the worst!

This made Pan Disheng feel that he had suffered a big loss, but the overall box office of the films made by his company was not good or bad, and it was still far from surpassing Cheng Long and Meng Chao's movies, so he was not pleasing on both sides of the Great Wall and Golden Harvest.

For this reason, Pan Disheng united with several wealthy big bosses in China and began to open movie theaters everywhere, planning to build a cinema chain himself.

It can be said that the competition in the film industry is getting bigger and bigger! (To be continued.) )
