In the end, the audience still broke out into thunderous applause, representing the audience's acceptance and love for the movie, at this time, Gao Zhisen, who was standing next to Meng Chao, slowly calmed down, and gently wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and hands with his hands, which made Meng Chao immediately laugh.

"Director Gao, don't be so nervous, in fact, it can be seen from the reaction of watching the movie just now that the audience still likes this movie very much."

Facing Meng Chao's comfort, Gao Zhisen said in a low voice: "Maybe I have too few experiences in this kind of scene, and I am always afraid that an unhappy audience will rush over and beat me, but now I finally have a safe night." ”

Seeing that Gao Zhisen was still able to joke, Meng Chao knew that he was past that state, just like the midnight test screening of the first movie "Happy Ghost", although there was no premiere, Meng Chao still took Guan Zhilin into a movie theater located in the Fifth Ring Road to watch.

As a result, during the whole process, Meng Chao's nervousness was actually no less than Gao Zhisen just now.

"In fact, I have encountered this reaction before, during the midnight test screening of "Happy Ghost", I also went to the cinema to watch it, but I was afraid that my disguise would be discovered throughout the whole process, and the audience came over and beat me up and told me why the movie I made was not good at all, but in the end, the atmosphere in the audience was very good, and I was relieved."

In the face of Meng Chao's words, Gao Zhisen also nodded and said: "Actually, when "Happy Ghost" was tested at midnight, I also went to see it, after all, it was a work that I worked hard to complete, just like my own child, where is the reason not to care?" ”

At this time, the two slowly stopped communicating, because the reporter who had been waiting for a long time quickly rushed up.

"Director Gao Zhisen, how much do you expect the box office of the movie to reach after its release?"

This question can be said to be the most frequently asked question at the premiere, so Gao Zhisen also replied according to the wisdom of his predecessors: "Of course, what I hope is that the higher the better, after all, this is the way to explain to our President Meng." ”

Meng Chao also said: "I have very good confidence in this "Rich and Powerful", coupled with the fact that the relevant authorities are cracking down on the free version recently, I believe that the box office should be stronger than last year's "Happy Ghost", right?" ”

At this time, when the reporters saw Meng Chao coming out to speak, they naturally hurriedly grabbed him: "Meng Chao, the recent scandal about you and Miss Ye Qianwen is flying all over the world, do you need to explain it to the public?" ”

Meng Chao said expressionlessly: "Our relationship is the relationship between the boss and the employee, and we are also bosom friends who like music, so much I want to say, and today is the premiere of "Rich and Powerful" after all, I hope that reporters and friends will still ask some questions related to the movie." ”

Seeing that Meng Chao couldn't hold the words, the reporters also asked questions from the leading actors who specialize in movies, for example, one of them asked Shen Dianxia, the actor of Aunt Bi: "Sister Fei, this seems to be the second time you have cooperated with Meng Chao, right?" ”

Sister Fat smiled slightly: "Actually, it's the fifth time, before "Happy Ghost", Meng Chao and I have already cooperated in several TV series, maybe our roles didn't have much intersection at that time, so everyone was not too impressed, but I have been optimistic about Meng Chao since a long time, so it is my honor to continue to cooperate with him!" ”

In the face of Sister Fei's praise, Meng Chao still smiled!

And the reporters obviously felt that they were not energetic enough, so they asked: "So Sister Fat admires Meng Chao so much, may I ask how much you will be paid for starring in "Rich and Powerful" as the protagonist this time?" ”

After all, Sister Fat is Lao Xingzun, and she still avoided answering such a sensitive topic, and kicked the ball back to Meng Chao and Gao Zhisen: "This is a trade secret of the company, I'm not sure if I can reveal it, so let's ask us Mr. Meng or Director Gao Zhisen." ”

……

On the day of the premiere, it has already brought millions of yuan at the box office of "Rich and Powerful", and the funny style of the small citizens described in the whole movie is very much to the taste of most audiences, so that they spread the word of mouth and spontaneously promote this movie with friends and relatives around them, plus there are articles from the live media as rendering, so it still caused a lot of turmoil on the Internet!

Especially in the eyes of many netizens, this is Meng Chao's third movie after all, a masterpiece different from the previous two!

The first "Happy Ghost" is based on campus female students, adding happy ghosts as a spice, with ease and superb mana as the selling point, and the second "Taking the Wrong Car" is an excellent tragic song and dance movie, with the relationship between father and daughter as the main line, interspersed with a number of high-quality songs, so that the audience's audio-visual and visual are greatly satisfied!

As for the third installment, "Rich and Powerful" has returned to small-budget comedy, but unlike the Hsu Brothers and Mecca's Endeavor Film Company, it focuses on the life of families and small citizens, and it is very funny and realistic, which is a key element of moving people.

Therefore, in just five days, "Rich and Powerful" has become a box office dark horse, winning 12 million box office, and the movie theaters under the two state-run cinemas of Shuangbei and the Great Wall are full of audiences lining up to watch, and even the two private cinema giants Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have been completely disrupted this time.

The success of the first movie can be said to be a fluke, although the box office of up to 50 million can reach the top five at the box office, it cannot be denied that it is only with the blessing of the sensation brought by Meng Chao's participation in the Youth Innovation Competition!

But the second film "The Wrong Car" and the third film "Rich and Powerful" still maintained such a strong posture, and even after cracking down on the free version, the box office growth became stronger and stronger, which can no longer be attributed to luck, but outright strength.

The success of "Rich and Powerful" has established Meng Chao's status in the film industry, and from then on, even Shao Daheng and Boss Zou dare not underestimate this young man anymore.

Of course, in terms of commercial decisions, it is impossible for Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to introduce Meng Chao's films, because Meng Chao's Genesis Film Company, like Mecca's Struggle Film Company, its films are all released in theaters of state-owned enterprises, and the momentum of Shuangbei and the Great Wall has been very strong in the past two years.

Relying on the support of the state, it has acquired many small movie theaters, which are the two largest cinema companies in China at the moment, and Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest are also forced to choke enough, if Meng Chao's movies are introduced at this time, it will undoubtedly accelerate the demise of their own companies!

This is especially true of Shaw Brothers!
