Chapter 80 is hot at midnight
"Minors are not allowed! What are you doing? Is it that scary? ”
"Saw Horror, I know the name just by hearing it, I'm looking forward to it!"
"Today's tickets are not easy to get, only this theater will be shown today, and the full screening will start tomorrow."
"Is that an exaggeration? So many journalists? ”
"The director's "Ethereal Journey" is wonderful, I hope this movie will not disappoint me!"
"Li Yihua is the director who filmed "Nightclub" some time ago, and his "Nightclub" is very enjoyable, and I am almost laughing to death!"
"You also watched his "Nightclub", and I also watched his "Nightclub" to come, and that movie was very funny, and my friends and I loved it. I waited in line for a long time to get my tickets for today, and if it's exciting, I'll let my friends come and see it tomorrow. ”
"I don't know what's wrong with those media, it's all the news of Longsheng Pictures, which makes the audience, who is not a veteran movie fan, also have a strong interest."
"Is this Li Yihua too rich and forbidden to enter under the age of 18, poor Xiaoxiao can only watch TV at home."
"I hope you don't let me down, otherwise my sugar cane won't be easy to talk to."
"Yes, if it's not good-looking, blow up the heads of the creators."
From the moment Li Yihua issued the explosive news, the attention of "Chainsaw" really increased, and with the topic of Li Yihua, Longsheng Pictures became a well-known film company in one fell swoop. In this paragraph, the company's phone calls are about to burst, all asking when the tickets for "Chainsaw" will go on sale.
According to Li Yihua's plan, "Chainsaw" will not hold a midnight show, but will be released directly. But Fu Baorong disagreed, just released the movie classification, and wanted to break the midnight show, in that case, Longsheng Pictures would become a public enemy of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Li Yihua reluctantly chose to compromise and held a midnight show in his company's cinema.
As soon as the midnight show of "Chainsaw" was released, the movie tickets sold out in theaters were sold out early, and there were still many people who came to watch the movie and left disappointed because they didn't buy tickets.
Due to Golden Harvest's contempt and Shaw Brothers' connivance, the two major cinema companies did not embarrass Baorong too much, and everything came according to the contract. The box office will be screened for four weeks, with 50 percent in the first week, 45 percent in the second week, 35 percent in the third week, and 30 percent in the fourth week.
Li Yihua is very satisfied with the lively scene of queuing to enter the venue, and the popularity of the midnight session at least indicates a good start. This time, although it did not meet Li Yihua's expectations, it was generally acceptable, and the release of "Saw Horror" was still all over Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. This makes some small film companies still very envious.
Although he is very satisfied with his work this time, and he also chose the horror props of later generations, Li Yihua's heart is still uncertain, and he must know that the changes in the box office of a work are impermanent.
This time, Li Yihua did not choose to play a sideline game, but chose to directly fight with major film companies to compete for the summer vacation. Whether it is Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers, they have their own films released, and if their movies are not popular, the two theaters can let the movies be painted at any time.
Since June 6, the smell of gunpowder in Hong Kong cinemas has become heavier and heavier, and a battlefield without gunpowder is about to start. Xinyicheng's "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" has not yet been painted, and "Merry Christmas" was released on that day, the film integrates Mecca, Li Lizhen, Zhang Guorong, Chen Baiqiang, Xu Xiaofeng and other film and music stars, and the goal is to go to 30 million. In addition to "Merry Christmas", Debao's "Waiting for the Dawn" is also about to join the battlefield, and for some reason, this movie was released ahead of schedule.
In addition to these two films, although Shaw Brothers has invested less and less in movies over the years, and the quality of the films is not flattering, but how can a skinny camel be bigger than a horse, "The Heroic Girl of the Tang Dynasty" and the only film played by Fa Ge's girlfriend Chen Yulian, which was later defined as a third-level film, will also be released.
Thinking of this, Li Yihua shook his head unconsciously, I don't know if it was a mistake to choose this time to release "Chainsaw"? But thinking about it in a blink of an eye, "Chainsaw" is a horror movie, although there are so many films released, but there are no horror films, there is no crash, maybe it may still burst on!
When Li Yihua appeared with the three major actors and other actors, reporters who had been waiting for a long time rushed out, aiming long guns and short cannons at them, as if they didn't want money.
Many of the actors in "Saw Horror" are new actors, and they are all experiencing such a battle for the first time, and they hurriedly blocked their eyes with their hands, and they were in a hurry for a while. Such a posture, not to mention new actors, even old qualifications like Liang Jiahui have not enjoyed for a long time, this year's ups and downs made him lose the opportunity to appear in the movie, only to set up a stall to barely survive, standing in front of the flash again, his mood is also extremely excited, he wants to shout loudly, I Liang Jiahui is back.
"Director Li, many old-timers in the circle are very dissatisfied with some of your arrogant words, what do you think about this matter?" Li Yihua: None of them thought that the first question thrown by those reporters would be so sharp, this was obviously the question they were prepared for, just to embarrass Li Yihua.
"I have a lot of respect for the old-timers in the circle, maybe I'm younger, I look at problems from a different perspective than them, and the way I deal with problems is relatively radical, which makes the seniors have misunderstandings." Li Yihua knew that the reporters were mentioning that incident, so in order not to offend too many people, he began to play Tai Chi.
"What Director Li means is that they are old, and that set is useless now, right?" The journalist did not receive a satisfactory answer and unhappily asked the question again.
Li Yihua shrugged his shoulders, looked at the reporter with a smile and said, "That's what you said, I didn't say it." ”
The reporter was stunned by Li Yihua's rhetorical question, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, no one thought that he would be so witty.
"Director Li, the soundtrack of the movie is Mr. Gu Jiahui, I heard that you also participated, Mr. Gu admires your talent very much, is there such a thing?" Some reporters have long heard that Master Gu scored this small movie and highly praised Li Yihua.
"Uncle Hui is a very good person, he inspires me a lot, and we have a lot of fun working together." Li Yihua touched his nose and said with a smile.
"Why are so many new people being recruited, is it because the budget is not enough?"
"Mr. Liang Jiahui, for being hidden"
"Mr. Wu"
As the reporter asked more and more questions, a group of people gradually divided into several small circles, with the most people in front of Li Yihua, and there were also some people in front of Liang Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu and other actors.
