Chapter 204: Sweeping South Korea
A week later.
Golden Harvest Film Company, Zou Wenhuai Office.
"The box office of "The Saint of Gambling" is rising so fast?"
After receiving the box office record of the latest "Saint of Gambling", Zou Wenhuai's heart was very heavy!
In fact, now Golden Harvest Film Company has regarded Genesis Film Company as the strongest opponent in the circle, and for this reason, they will pay special attention to every new film released by Genesis Film Company!
"The Saint of Gambling" came out in the name of following the trend of "God of Gamblers", and the box office was a big hit, so the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" on the first day was nearly 18 million, although it was a little less than "God of Gamblers", but it was already good.
For this reason, Golden Harvest Film Company began to feel that the box office of this movie was more than 300 million points at most, and it was estimated that it would not be able to break the record of "God of Gamblers".
What I didn't expect was that after the release, the reputation of "The Saint of Gambling" became better and better, and many entertainment media praised this movie for creating a new nonsensical comedy style, so many audiences entered the cinema to watch it.
Gambling and comedy were originally the two highest-grossing movie genres, and now when they are added together, they quickly produce a super chemical effect!
Especially with Zhou Xingchi, a postmodern deconstructionist comedy master, to play the leading role, it is simply amazing!
It can be said that if Meng Chao's script was originally ninety points, with more Zhou Xingchi, he could reach ninety-nine points, and he would not give one point left, mainly because he was afraid that Meng Chao would be too proud!
"How much is the box office of the movie now?" He Guanchang heard that Zou Wenhuai's tone was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Zou Wenhuai was a little surprised: "The box office on the first day was less than 18 million, but then because of the better and better word-of-mouth, the box office of the movie continued to be popular, and now in less than a week, the box office has reached 94 million, I am afraid it will soon break 100 million!" ”
When He Guanchang heard this, he was also taken aback!
You must know that at the beginning of the year, the box office of "God of Gamblers" exceeded 100 million in eight days, setting a new record in the industry. But after all, the box office of "God of Gamblers" on the first day was more than 20 million.
However, "The Saint of Gambling" only had a first-day box office of less than 18 million, but after its release, because the word-of-mouth is getting better and better, this rise has almost killed any movie in the past!
According to the analysis of the current situation, the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" may break 100 million by several hours faster than that of "God of Gamblers". This is only the first week, if the box office continues to rise, I believe that the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" is estimated to surpass "God of Gamblers" before it is painted.
The reason why I care so much about the box office growth of "The Saint of Gambling" is entirely because after the release of "The Saint of Gambling", it has greatly affected the box office of Golden Harvest's films!
It was supposed to be the end of August. Golden Harvest Film Company launched Cheng Long's "Plan A Sequel", which was released before the Golden Bull Awards, and was nominated for Best Action Direction, coupled with the good reputation of the previous work, this movie also had a box office of 120 million after a month of release!
But after the release of "The Saint of Gambling" in early October, the situation changed.
"Plan A Sequel", which has begun to be a little tired at the box office, has pulled away a lot of audiences because of the better and better reputation of "The Saint of Gambling"!
Generally speaking, the main consumer group in the first half month of a movie's release is fans. Including die-hard fans and passers-by.
Therefore, many film companies and investors will ask actors with good image and box office appeal to play the starring role, in order to use their popularity to absorb the box office!
And half a month later, after the crazy fans have basically watched the movie, there are some passers-by left, as well as ordinary viewers who are neither fans nor black!
These audiences are the so-called neutrals, who are not necessarily fans of any actor or movie, but only occasionally hear about a movie or walk into the cinema just when they go out on a date.
These neutral audiences are the largest group of moviegoers, and they are easily swayed by their minds. I don't know which movie to watch, but often they offer the most box office percentage of some movies!
For this reason, half a month after the release of a movie, if it encounters a strong **** blow, it is easy that the box office trend will sink more and more!
And "Plan A Sequel" met "The Saint of Gambling" under such circumstances.
Zou Wenhuai had a clear number on hand to indicate it. When "The Saint of Gambling" was released, the box office of Golden Harvest Film Company's "Plan A Sequel" became worse and worse, and even the final painting time was likely to be forcibly advanced by a few days!
This feeling of being suppressed by a new company like Genesis Film Company and a newcomer in the film industry like Meng Chao naturally makes Zou Wenhuai, a movie tycoon, feel very unhappy!
finally boiled the Shaw Brothers to death, and another struggling film company came. Fortunately, this company is only good at doing comedy, but there is another Debao Film Company, and it has also caused a gap between Hong Jinbao and Golden Harvest Film Company.
But these are not too big threats, and the biggest threat comes from Genesis Films.
Golden Harvest and Genesis have two more direct confrontations this year, one is during the Spring Festival, Golden Harvest Film Company supported Cheng Long's ambitious action blockbuster "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother", but it couldn't beat Genesis Film Company's "God of Gamblers", which was released on the same day, and the box office lost hundreds of millions!
It can be described as a great shame, and then "Oriental Condor" suffered from both sides of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Autumn Fairy Tale", and the final box office shrank by at least two percent.
So how can Boss Zou, who is obsessed with movies and regards movies as his lifelong career, look down on Meng Chao, a newcomer in the film industry?
It can be said that it is difficult for anyone in the entire film industry to dare to regard Meng Chao as a newcomer!
Shao Daheng personally came forward to negotiate with him about the film distribution of the Nanyang side of the Genesis Film Company, the leaders of the two major cinema chains of Shuangbei and the Great Wall and the head of the Cultural Bureau invited Meng Chao to attend the wine bureau for three days, and even the Cathay Cinema Line in Nanyang took the initiative to contact Meng Chao, and "The True Color of Heroes" and "God of Gamblers" also sold a good box office in North America!
Moreover, after the "A Chinese Ghost Story" a few months ago was released in Japan and South Korea, the box office was so good that it exploded!
Especially in South Korea, now the posters of Meng Chao and Wang Guxian are selling like crazy, and soon South Korean netizens have transformed the image of the two into many cute emojis, which are popular in the entire South Korean online world, making Meng Chao, Wang Guxian, and Zhou Yunfa the hottest stars in South Korea this year!
The Chinese trend has swept the entire land of South Korea! (To be continued.) )
