"No dialogue, no plot, no characters, only good and evil, only real kung fu to the flesh, this is "The Raid"!" -- Ta Kung Pao.

"A gluttonous feast for kung fu lovers, and the violent aesthetics reload "Raid"!" -- Wen Wei Po.

"Real and tragic gunfights, refreshing cold weapon confrontations, and bloody hand-to-hand combat, Du Qifeng may become a new generation of violent aesthetic masters with "Raid"!" -- Ming Pao.

"If the dialogue of 'The Raid' can be added together for fifteen minutes, it is quite generous." -- Sing Tao Daily.

"'God of Gamblers' Zhou Yan found out that he was in the test screening of "Raid" to cheer for the main creator." -- Cheng Pao.

The next morning, Zhang Jin said goodbye to Zhang Min, bought some newspapers when he came out of the hotel, opened the entertainment section, and sure enough, there was a report about "Raid".

The fourth issue of "Jin Weekly" will not be released until the weekend, so these newspapers cannot get the behind-the-scenes footage of "The Raid" at present, and can only report it through their own film review team, taking the path of brief reviews.

When he returned home, Chen Shaohua had already gone to work, Meng Tingwei was helping Zhang Jin clean the room and wash clothes, and when he saw the boss coming back, he greeted him with a smile, "Boss, you're back." ”

Meng Tingwei came to Xiangjiang alone, originally felt lonely and lonely, although Chen Shaohua and the charter wife took good care of her, but a girl's family practiced singing and watching TV in the house every day, and it would feel boring after a long time, plus the people around her spoke Cantonese, so as long as Zhang Jin was at home, she would always find a reason to come over and say a few words, so Zhang Jin's Chinese words were round, although there was no curved tone, but it was better to be close to the local sound.

"You don't have to do these things in the future." Zhang Jin said: "Within a week, you will follow your eldest brother back to Taiwan to receive singing training. ”

Meng Tingwei was a little expectant, blinked and said, "Won't the boss go over together?" ”

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "I still have something to do here, when your album sells well and you can hold a solo concert, I will definitely go over to cheer, so you have to come on." ”

"Mmmm, I'll definitely try!" Meng Tingwei nodded vigorously, suddenly sniffed his nose, and looked at the boss with a somewhat strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jin asked suspiciously.

"The boss was with another woman last night?" Meng Tingwei asked with a slight frown.

Zhang Jin was slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly advised: "Well, don't ask about these things, children, and don't tell Shaohua." ”

"Oh." Meng Tingwei pouted, although he didn't say anything, but with a little dissatisfaction on his face, he lowered his head and washed clothes there.

Zhang Jin's back was cold, and he said in his heart that this girl is really a dog's nose.

There were a total of three test screenings of "Raid", and from the second day, Xinbao Cinema Line increased the number of two trial screening theaters to four, and the screening scene was hot every night, with applause and applause wave after wave, Chen Rongmei and Feng Bingzhong, the two bigwigs, were completely relieved through the test screening.

After some discussion, the two decided to leave all the prime time of their theaters for "The Raid", and launched their own promotional activities, not to mention that positive.

After all, this is the most competitive box office film that Xinbao Cinema has won since its establishment, and it must be fully supported, so that other independent production companies can see Xinbao's sincerity and strength, and then achieve the purpose of expanding the source of films.

As long as the theater is busy, there will be nothing to do for a while, this guy rarely hides at home, knocks on the drama of "Intolerable" in the morning, and sorts out the script of "The Saint of Gambling" in the afternoon.

Chen Shaohua couldn't stand it anymore, "Please, "Raid" will be released today, and "Jin Weekly" will release its fourth issue tomorrow, aren't you worried about the box office situation at all?" ”

Zhang Jin shrugged and said: "I am confident that the box office will not hit the streets." ”

With that confident look, Chen Shaohua, who watched it, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Then you don't have to walk around in front of me, "Raid" is the main new film guide in this issue, why don't you write a few sentences of the film yourself!" ”

Zhang Jin said very seriously: "I have a problem, I am not good at selling and boasting, you let me comment on other people's things is no problem, it is difficult to praise my own works, and the doctor does not understand the truth of self-medicine, so you let me review it after you have written it below, it is too difficult to do it yourself." ”

Chen Shaohua was about to cry, how could he be in charge of the shopkeeper with such a shake of his hands.

"Who will choose the cover girl for the fourth issue?"

Zhang Jin said as a matter of course: "Liu Jialing, by the way, to promote "Raid", this matter was not discussed in advance, by the way, what about the third issue of the magazine, and the collector's edition of the photo, you haven't given it to me yet." ”

"Nope! Buy it yourself! Chen Shaohua snorted coldly, "I haven't done anything right all day long, and when I talk about beautiful women, I am very energetic." ”

Having said that, Chen Shaohua still took out a thick photo from the drawer, Zhang Jin happily took it and looked at it a few times, then threw it on the table, sighed and said: "It's boring, it's too much, it's better for you to be an apprentice, go back and take a set of this kind of photo for you, the sales will definitely skyrocket!" ”

"Cut, don't take too many photos like this." Chen Shaohua retorted in his mouth, and his heart was full of joy.

On April 23, the tenth day of the release of "God of Gamblers", the cumulative box office was 27 million, and the single-day box office was not as terrifying as a few days ago, but it still contributed 3 million a day.

Under the dazzling light of "God of Gamblers", the films released at the same time have no box office competitiveness, and they fall early one by one, "Raid" is under such circumstances, at 8 pm on the 23rd, it will be officially released in ten theaters in Xinbao, three in Debao, and four in Golden Harvest, a total of 17 theaters in Hong Kong.

Although Zhang Jin said that he didn't take it seriously, he still obediently squatted by the phone that night, waiting for the box office data of the owners of various theaters.

The waiting process is quite painful, which reminds Zhang Jin of the situation when new books were put on the shelves in his previous life, and after uploading a chapter, he kept refreshing the background to see the subscription data, and the feeling of scratching the cat is similar to now, but now the technology is not developed, and the box office data is basically waiting for it.

At this time, it was Chen Shaohua's turn to make fun of him, this girl deliberately chattered with Meng Tingwei while eating fruit, Zhang Jin stared angrily, and simply joined the ranks of grabbing fruits, and the two girls who were anxious beat and beaten.

"What, the box office results are estimated to come out at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, let's stop spending it here, let's go back to sleep."

Chen Shaohua shook his head and said, "Don't go, I want to accompany you, share the joy together, and share the failure together." ”

Zhang Jin looked at the time, "This is just the first game, at least ten hours." Persuaded Chen Shaohua and said: "Be obedient, go back, I will inform you as soon as there is news." ”

"I'll sleep here tonight." Chen Shaohua simply cheated.

"Okay." Zhang Jin looked at Meng Tingwei, "What about you?" ”

"I'll leave later, so as not to disturb the world of the two of you." Meng Tingwei said with a smile.

"Weiwei, what are you talking about!" The two chicks are arguing again.

When Meng Tingwei left, the phone in the house rang, but it was Chen Rongmei calling.

"Ah Jin, the attendance rate of the first show is out, the attendance rate of the four big theaters is 95%, and the attendance rate of the other six theaters is 100%, full of seats! Haha, I just called several managers and asked again, and now the attendance rate of the second game is also very high, and there is still a long queue of people waiting for the third game outside. ”

Chen Rongmei said excitedly on the phone: "Keep this momentum going, we will have a box office of 1.5 million on the first day after eight shows tonight, a good sign, a good sign!" ”

Zhang Jin was also happy when he heard this, but he still said more rationally: "The first three games can maintain the tossing momentum, and the attendance rate of the next five games will definitely decline. ”

"Well, that's only 1.2 million, which is a bit less." Chen Rongmei didn't expect Zhang Jin to think about it so much, and felt that Zhang Jin was a little conservative.

"It's already good, we're all new faces, and we can't compare to other people's big casts." Zhang Jin smiled and said: "I am very satisfied with this data. ”

The all-star lineup of "God of Gamblers" won 6 million at the box office on the first day, and only Xinbao got 1.2 million on the first day of the brand-new "Raid", and the other two theaters could make up 500,000 for nothing, and Zhang Jin was quite satisfied that the box office data on the first day could reach such a point.

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't hug Chen Shaohua to celebrate, Zhang Jin called the eldest brother directly, "Big guy, get ready to copy, and go to Taiwan Bend with the box office data of the port in three days." ”

The situation on the eldest brother's side was a little messy, and when Zhang Jin finished speaking, he asked: "Is the box office a fire or a fire?" ”

Zhang Jin said: "It's a good sign, the specific data will be known tomorrow, but one-third of the cost has already been returned." ”

Zhang Jin and the three cinemas signed a port distribution, as for Taiwan Bend, Southeast Asia and other overseas distributions are in their own hands, the port has a good start, and then we must take advantage of the situation to launch the overseas distribution of "Raid", Taiwan Bend is the largest sales base outside the port, so Zhang Jin will rush his big brother back to Taiwan Bend as soon as possible.

"And the singing teacher you contacted has it done, Meng Tingwei has to train quickly when he goes back, and release the record as soon as possible."

"Hey, I got it three days ago, and I signed Lin Xinru too, hehe, according to your requirements, she is receiving professional training as a model, and she is learning to sing by the way." The eldest brother said in a loud voice: "You can rest assured that I will do things!" ”

"You squat on Hong Kong Island every day, who is responsible over there?" Zhang Jin was a little puzzled.

"A familiar girl, the means are very powerful, anyway, she is doing business things."

"Is it reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable, Lao Tzu has already cleaned her up inside and out, and she is more reliable than her daughter-in-law."

Although Zhang Jin was a little worried, but the eldest brother assured him that he was not good at what he was saying, as long as the expansion progress over there was normal, the eldest brother could toss it.

Chen Shaohua waited with Zhang Jin all night, and the phone never rang again that night.

At half past nine in the morning, a hurried telephone rang woke Zhang Jin.

"Xinbao: 1.23 million."

"Golden Harvest: 450,000."

"Debao: 320,000."

No more, no less, a full two million.
