Chapter 169: "Chasing Girls in Hardcover"

October 6, 1986.

After nearly 50 days of release, the box office trend of "Why Have Me" began to weaken, after all, this is a tragic movie, and not all audiences will choose to go to the cinema to watch this type of movie.

And although the box office has begun to weaken, the box office of "Why Have Me" still broke through the 200 million mark smoothly, becoming the second film under Meng Chao to break the 200 million mark!

However, the potential of this movie is obviously not as good as "The True Color of Heroes", Meng Chao estimates that it will come to an end with a few million more growth, and now many movie theaters have begun to draw "Why Me".

The trend of the family comedy movie "Rich and Powerful", which has also been released for nearly 40 days, is getting better and better, and now the box office has reached as much as 120 million, and it is not tired at all, according to this trend, although it is difficult to break through the 200 million mark, but 150 million is absolutely no problem.

As for Xu Ke's film studio's "Shanghai Night", it is a little bleak, as soon as it is released, it faces two extreme evaluations, there are audiences on the Internet who like this movie are aggrieved by the box office, and there are also those who don't like this movie and feel that the box office is too high.

It can be said that although this movie has created a certain topicality, it has not driven the box office to rise because of the topic.

"Shanghai Night", which has been released for a month now, barely reached 45 million at the box office.

Judging from the overall box office of Genesis Films this year, the final box office of this movie is estimated to be inferior to "The Wrong Car" at the beginning of the year.

This made Xu Laowei feel a little aggrieved, but in terms of the cost of making zuò, "Shanghai Night" can still generate more than 10 million profits at a cost of only a few million, but this is far from the level that Xu Laowei should have!

……

Since the appearance of "The True Color of Heroes", Meng Chao has become a popular figure in the entire film industry and has won many awards.

This has made more overseas film companies begin to contact Meng Chao frequently, and now Meng Chao still chooses to cooperate with Anle Cinemas, relying on their strong overseas distribution capabilities, "The True Color of Heroes" has achieved good box office results after its release in Europe and the United States, and now it has been released in foreign regions for at least more than a month.

And the box office results that have come back have exceeded 20 million US dollars. It is enough to prove that when China's national strength is strong, the acceptance of Chinese movies in Europe and the United States will become higher and higher, so "The True Color of Heroes", a Jianghu movie with gunfights as the genre, can sell good box office results.

But overall, the other films under Genesis Films have been given a cold reception. In fact, now Europe and the United States are generally only able to accept Chinese films, and "The True Color of Heroes" can win a good box office with the gunfight genre, mainly relying on excellent quality and many awards, attracting the attention of foreigners.

Other movies, such as the family comedy "Rich and Powerful" series, the campus comedy "Happy Ghost" series, and tragic movies such as "The Wrong Car" and "Why Have Me". The market in Europe and the United States is very limited.

Of course, in Nanyang, Japan and South Korea, there are still many film companies willing to play Genesis Films' films, because after "The True Color of Heroes" was released by Shaw Brothers, it caused a great sensation in Nanyang, Japan and South Korea, so Genesis Films has become a golden paint signboard in the eyes of Asian filmmakers!

In particular, the Cathay Cinema Line in Nanyang actually took the initiative to contact Meng Chao.

You must know that Cathay Cinemas has been mainly showing films from Golden Harvest Film Company in Nanyang, and after the boss of Golden Harvest in the past, Zou Wenhuai betrayed Shaw Brothers, he was able to develop so quickly, which was also the result of Cathay Cinemas behind him.

Naturally, it is to support a film company that can compete with Shaw Brothers and provide more high-quality films for Cathay Cinemas, but Golden Harvest did not expect to see the dark horse of Genesis Film Company run out now. Cathay Cinemas will take the initiative to throw an olive branch.

The news that Cathay Cinema Line took the initiative to contact Meng Chao naturally couldn't be hidden, so Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang on the Golden Harvest side really realized that Meng Chao and Genesis Film Company had grown into a place that could threaten their existence.

However, in the end, Meng Chao definitely did not agree to Cathay Cinema's request, because judging from the current situation, Shaw Brothers began to reduce production year by year, while Golden Harvest has been constantly making new films.

If you cooperate with Cathay Cinemas, then you must directly compete with Golden Harvest in Nanyang for film scheduling and screenings, with Golden Harvest's current strength, it is difficult for Meng Chao to take any advantage.

But if he continues to cooperate with Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Meng Chao will basically dominate the resources of the entire Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Because now Shaw Brothers has no good films that can compete with Meng Chao.

And as long as the news of Cathay Cinema's contact with Meng Chao reaches Shao Daheng's ears, then no matter how mean he is, he can't help but weigh what better cooperation conditions he should use to retain Meng Chao and Genesis Film Company, a gold-absorbing machine!

……

A week later, basically "Why Have Me" has been painted offline. The final box office was nearly 200 million and 800 million.

And on this day, Meng Chao's investment in Wang Jing's "Hardcover Chasing Girls" also held its premiere.

Meng Chao did not join the planning industry again during the whole premiere, and completely left Wang Jing to do it himself, Meng Chao has now begun to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and there are more and more talents under his hands, and he is happy to be an investor. In the end, when the box office makes money, it will be certain that you will come out to collect money, and you don't have to do everything yourself like in the past!

Of course, if Meng Chao's artists need to be used as guest performers for publicity and premieres, Meng Chao will also support them.

In the end, it proved that Wang Jing still has his talent in entertaining the public, and the whole premiere was particularly good-looking, especially when an impromptu sketch of Feng Quefan, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang, the three supporting roles in "Hardcover Chasing Girls", was added, which made the audience laugh.

Finally, in the process of watching "Hardcover Chasing Girls", many viewers were laughed by the bridges inside!

For example, the scene of chasing girls in the movie, the sweary brother Fa Ge, Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Baixiang who like to play tricks on the boss, and the unscrupulous ridicule and spoof of "The True Color of Heroes".

For example, after Brother Hao came out of prison, he found Uncle Jian played by Feng Qufan, but he was sent away with a few yuan of change.

and Zeng Zhiwei's accusation that others can't poke his head is to ridicule the little horse brother in "The True Color of Heroes", and then there is the vengeful little horse brother in Fenglin Pavilion who hid the gun under the flower pot, but in the end he couldn't find it......
