It can be said that when Chen Xuanting said the phrase "millions of rewards for bricks", today's press conference was over, after all, everything else can be ignored, and the only thing that hopes to make Chen Xuanting slap himself is definitely what the people look forward to!

So, will the box office of "Dark War" really be as hot as Chen Xuanting predicted?

The day after the press conference of "Dark Wars"!

"Eh, did you hear that? That Chen Xuanting said that if the movie is not good, he will reward the brick maker with a million dollars! "A gangster brother just finished reading the newspaper and immediately grabbed another little brother who was about to leave!

"Pick, I think you're crazy! You don't know who he is. His worship brother is the fire unicorn Lei Yaoyang! didn't wait for you to shoot other people's bricks, they would have already cut you into ten or eight sections! ”

"Are you going or not?"

"Why don't you go? Maybe it's really lucky?! ”

…… Another literary young man looked at the newspaper and said to his girlfriend: "This Chen Xuanting's tone is too big, and he even said that his movies must be good!" ”

Girlfriend who is wearing lipstick: "Nonsense, that boss will say that his movie is not good?" This is called Wang Po selling melons and boasting about herself! ”

"Shall we go and see it?"

"Why don't you go? Not to mention for the sake of this million, even for the justice of Hong Kong movies, we must watch it! ”

"Huh? When did you become so literary? ”

"Haven't you been nurtured yet?!"

…… After reading the newspaper, an old man said to his wife: "Old woman, I heard that there is a play that is very good, do you want to go and watch it?" ”

The old woman pouted, "We're all old husbands and wives, what are you doing with that excitement?" Isn't it nice to sit at home and watch TV? And don't have to wait in line to buy tickets! ”

"But the boss of this drama said that if it doesn't look good, he will reward the critic with a million!"

"Oh, how can there be such a fool in the world? It's either a madman, it's a psychopath! ”

"People are not crazy, he is Chen Xuanting, the owner of Thunder Film Company!"

"Ahem! Who are you talking about? ”

"What's wrong?"

"He? I'm an idol! Let's buy tickets now! ”

The old man was dumbfounded, "Didn't you say that your idol is Huang Feihong Guan Dexing?" ”

"That bad old man, how can Chen Xuanting be handsome?!"

The old man was stunned for a long time, "I hate pretty boys!" ”

……………… In fact, not only Hong Kong, but also Taiwan and Singapore, all places where Chinese people haunt are also because of Chen Xuanting's sentence "Millions of rewards for bricks", and they collectively said that they are looking forward to the release of "Dark War", but what they don't know is that Chen Xuanting is now happily contacting filmmakers from various regions in Asia!

The foreign clam market for Hong Kong films has always occupied a very important position in the box office revenue of Hong Kong films, and relatively speaking, the box office in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and other regions is particularly important!

Thanks to Chen Xuanting's fame and loud slogans, the filmmakers who came to Chen Xuanting today to discuss the release of "Dark War" are indecisive, and groups of people are endless, and what Chen Xuanting has to do is to try to reduce the income of the filmmakers.

After all, when the market is competitive, then the producer needs to negotiate to maximize the benefits!

No matter who you are, no matter how big the theater chain you control, as long as you come, then, Chen Xuanting will sit down with you very sincerely to communicate, until someone notifies that another guest is coming, he will send you out, and said very embarrassed: "Sir, the dividend you asked for is too high, I really can't answer you now, please go back and wait first!" ”

It is this way of hospitality that Chen Xuanting transferred all the pressure to the filmmakers who came to negotiate cooperation business, and the effect was unimaginably perfect! The most direct embodiment is that many filmmakers who were still very tough at the beginning and demanded half of the revenue have automatically reduced the number of dividends they demanded, from 5% to 4%, and then to 3%, and this price is already the best price in Chen Xuanting's heart!

One day, just one day, Chen Xuanting got all the foreign mussel releases in Asia except Hong Kong, all of them were distributors, accounting for 3 percent, and Thunder Film Company accounted for 7 percent!

Of course. The succumb of these film companies is also because of the terrifying strength of Thunder Pictures, who doesn't know that behind this film company, there is the support of the Thunder Consortium with hundreds of millions of dollars.

No one would have thought that with this play, Chen Xuanting reunified and planned the order of Hong Kong and the Asian film industry. And this has also helped Hong Kong films to take off in the future and created favorable conditions.

Now that the contract is signed, the only thing that Chen Xuanting needs to worry about is that he is worried that the film company will cheat on the accounts and appoint an employee of Thunder Film Company to supervise "Worry, there are so many theaters in the hands of those film dealers, how many people do you have to get it" Chen Xuanting rubbed his head in distress, and finally, when there was really no way, he had to go to Stephen Chow, one of the shareholders, to discuss a solution.

"Haha, what's so upset about this?" Taking Chen Xuanting's tailwind boat, Stephen Chow, whose assets have exceeded 100 million, has already transformed into a famous "star master". At this moment, he listened to the reason for the matter, and said with a smile: "Now that our Thunder Pictures has cultivated so many people, it is to raise soldiers for a while, and directly pull them out to exercise, which can not only help the company solve problems, but also help them broaden their own knowledge." Do you say this question is still a problem? ”

"Yes, I have trained so many directors, screenwriters, and actors, and now many people have not started plays, why don't you send them all out to see?" Chen Xuanting smiled, hugged Stephen Chow fiercely and said, "That's right, make the best use of everything!" Why didn't I think of that? ”

"Ahem, let go, I'm going to be strangled to death by you!" Stephen Chow almost turned his back on his anger, and it took a long time before he drank saliva and said: "Ah Ting, don't be too happy, or think about what kind of situation you will face if the drama "Dark War" hits the streets?" Hahahaha" Stephen Chow smiled sinisterly with his signature laughter in the movie, and said fiercely: "People who deceive the world will definitely have serious consequences!" One million is not a small amount, and when the time comes, everyone will squeeze their scalps to slap your bricks and see what you do? Maybe that saliva alone will drown you! ”

Seeing that Stephen Chow was laughing evilly, Chen Xuanting also smiled: "Ah Xing, it's not that you don't know what I am, and I won't fight a battle if I'm not sure!" ”

Seeing Stephen Chow's look of disbelief, Chen Xuanting said again: "Don't forget, I am a monk who writes scripts, and I know the quality of scripts best." I can assure you that this play will only become a classic, and it will never be scolded to the blood! Just watch, when the time comes, all of Hong Kong, all of Asia, and even as long as there are Chinese, then "Dark War" will definitely be popular, and it will be the kind that can't be more popular! ”

"Ting, it's good that you have confidence in doing things, but don't do it again in the future!" Stephen Chow smiled bitterly and shook his head. "You don't know, as soon as your words came out at that time, I was scared, and if the whole of Hong Kong came out to criticize you, wouldn't we vomit blood?! So, Ah Ting, if there is such a thing in the future, can you discuss it with me and Ren Dahua, how to say that we are also one of the shareholders of the company. Even if it's just to give us a breath in advance, so that we can be mentally prepared. If you do this a few more times, I'm afraid our hearts will be scared out of your heart! ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't take into account your and Ah Hua's feelings at the time! I'm really sorry, don't worry, I won't be in the future, if I encounter similar problems again, I will definitely discuss it with you, lest you say that I am arbitrary. Chen Xuanting said apologetically.

Stephen Chow scratched his head, "It's embarrassing for me to say this, in fact, Ren Dahua and I both understand that Thunder Pictures still needs an arbitrary person like you, at least every step you take is right." And it's bad for us to plug in -- we're still self-aware. So in the future, the company's major affairs will still be decided by you, as long as Ren Dahua and I do our part, concentrate on acting, and get dividends at the end of the year, everything will be OK!"

Chen Xuanting was dumbfounded, and for a long time, "Ah Xing—"

"What?"

"Don't you think you're deceitful?"

"Really?" Stephen Chow touched his nose, "Maybe I was polluted by you!" ”

Chen Xuanting, speechless

With Chen Xuanting's vigorous advertising, the drama "Dark War" will be released soon. As the director, Johnny To went to all the copy companies in Hong Kong in just one week, and copied more than 300 copies of this drama in total. And these more than 300 copies have already been distributed to various regions of Asia with the supervisors dispatched by Chen Xuanting. To be honest, when he was doing this, director Johnny To was still very confused, after all, the more copies he made, the blurrier the picture of the film would be, so he felt that he shouldn't have made so many copies.

But Chen Xuanting's understanding was different from his, and he smiled and asked Du Qifeng: "Do you know how piracy is made?" And the reason I do this is to avoid the impact of piracy on me as much as possible, after all, by the time piracy comes out, I have already made enough money at the box office, who cares how they pirate? ”

Yes, the reason why Chen Xuanting wants to engage in such a "simultaneous release of the whole of Asia" is to prevent piracy from appearing early and destroying his own interests, after all, even if you want to pirate a very well-protected movie completely, it will take several days. Besides, there's no DV yet, and if you want to pirate, there's really no other way than to go to the cinema with the machine in person!

After listening to Chen Xuanting's explanation, Johnny To and other people who still didn't understand were also relieved, but they still felt sorry for those overseas audiences, because Chen Xuanting decided that the copies with the best picture quality would all be released in Hong Kong, and in that case, audiences in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and other places would have to watch the copies that were not very high-quality!

"There's no way! Who told us that our time was too short? Chen Xuanting explained, "Of course, our own family has to watch the best!" Otherwise, the Hong Kong audience will throw bricks at me! ”

It's been a long time coming!

Under the expectation of countless fans across Asia, "Dark War" finally officially met everyone.

There was no test screening, let alone inviting so-called experts to comment, saying that it was naked~ Ben is nothing more than that!

However, Chen Xuanting was full of confidence and sat in the office making tea, quietly waiting for the statistics of the morning box office, and kept muttering to himself that Stephen Chow, who was full of worries, and Ren Dahua, who had become very anxious when it came to the end, were also pulled into the office by him, and said: Happiness and hardship are the same!

Seeing the time pass little by little, the hearts of several thunder bosses in the office became even more impatient, and even Chen Xuanting, the boss who was very confident just now, was restless and began to go back and forth in circles! After all, if fans really "don't give face" to watch it, then his previous wild words will be too big!

A million!

Ten is 10 million!

There are 6 million people in Hong Kong, isn't that -- I have to pay only my pants!

"Ding......ding!"

The phone on the desk rang crisply, and when you look at the time on the wall at exactly 12:00, someone has come to report the results of the morning box office!

A few people are you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to answer the phone that rings and doesn't listen, after a long time, Chen Xuanting exhaled deeply and said: "Forget it, whether it's happy or sad, whether it's pounced or not, I'm the boss or take it!" ”

He clenched his fists tightly, walked quickly to the phone and took another deep breath, and then stretched out his hand tremblingly and took the handle of the phone.

"It must be good news!" After Chen Xuanting said a sentence as if praying, he quickly picked up the phone: "I'm Chen Xuanting, report the results now!" ”

Yes, now Chen Xuanting realizes that it takes a lot of courage to pick up the microphone, and he doesn't know that his palms are full of sweat, but with the violent sound of his heart, he is quietly waiting for the report on the other end of the phone!

"Boss, boss, we won! We won! We............! ”

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously very excited, and he would say the phrase "we won" back and forth, so anxious that Chen Xuanting almost scolded, but he knew that now was not the time to get angry, so he had to suppress his anger and said softly: "Please be quiet now, tell me what the box office results are in the morning?" ”

"Five, five, five hundred, nine hundred thousand! That's 5.9 million! ”

"Smack!"

The phone fell to the ground, but Chen Xuanting didn't pay attention to it, but rushed to Stephen Chow and shouted, "We really won, I really won!" That's 5.9 million! The box office in the morning was 5.9 million! Broke all the records of previous Thunder movies! ”

"Poof!" The tea that Stephen Chow was still wrapping in his mouth just now in order to suppress his worries squirted out wildly, spraying so much that Ren Dahua, who was about to hug him, was all over his face, but they didn't mind anything, but hugged each other fiercely, each patting each other's shoulders, making a "bang" sound, and he didn't know the pain and let go!

Chen Xuanting exhaled deeply, this time he finally gave an explanation to the company, and the declaration that he was very against the sky could be regarded as having some support.

After a long time, a few older men slowly returned to normal.

"Alright, alright, let's listen to the reports from other regions!"

Chen Xuanting straightened his clothes, then picked up the phone, and took the initiative to dial a number, half a minute later: "Hey, I'm Chen Xuanting, what's the current situation over there?" ”

Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua both leaned their ears over, only to hear a voice say: "Very good, the tickets for the first round and the second round are all snapped up!" It's the same in other places, you can't buy a ticket even if you have money! ”

"Yay!" Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua hilariously bumped into each other, and then yelled: "It's safe!" Now it's good! ”

Chen Xuanting chuckled and said, "Don't be happy yet, let's wait until the evening to see today's box office total!" ”

Although he said so, he was even more happy and excited, after all, his face was finally not slapped by himself!

At 10 o'clock in the evening, when everyone in Hong Kong was talking about how "Dark War" was going, Chen Xuanting's office was a different scene. There were piles of papers piled up on his desk, but none of them mattered, because only the paper he held in his hand that had been printed out after statistics was the real list that could reveal the final results!

"We, today, finally ushered in the most important moment, that is, the box office results of the first day of the release of "Dark War"!" When Chen Xuanting spoke, his face was also full of expectation, because even he didn't know what the content was and how big it was! Because what he wanted was a surprise!

He turned his head to look at the other people in the room, and finally lowered his head in a trembling and slowly opened the paper, his pupils contracted for a while, and after taking two steps back, he suddenly roared: "The box office performance of "Dark War" on the first day in Asia is 38.58 million! ”

His voice completely overshadowed any other voices at this moment, or rather, everyone was listening to him.

"Three thousand, eight hundred and fifty eighteen?" This number has been floating in the night sky of Hong Kong, and it will be a permanent existence. With this amazing achievement, Chen Xuanting has become the "God of Movies" in Asia! It means that as long as he exists, the movies in his hands will continue to create miracles!
