After the premiere of "Police Story", various newspapers and media outlets introduced Chenglong's transformation work with front-page headlines in the entertainment section the next day, and the words were full of praise.

As for those who attended the premiere of the movie, they also praised the movie after returning to the sky, which caused a large number of curiosity and strong viewing among the Hong Kong people**.

And when the premiere of "Police Story" was held, "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing" and "Flower Heart", which had been released for three weeks, were also fully drawn.

In the end, "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" received a box office of 7.36 million Hong Kong dollars, while Wang Jin's "Flower Heart" reached the Shaw Brothers' dividend standard very early, but the total box office was only 6.52 million Hong Kong dollars, which was far short of the box office of "Ghost Horse Wisdom and Stars" of more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars. This second confrontation between Shaw Brothers and Princess Jin was another small victory for Princess Jin.

So Wang Jin, who lost the box office in the movie, has a very bad face these days, and he didn't even go to the premiere of "Police Story".

And just three days after the premiere of "Police Story", the film was officially released.

This time, Golden Harvest did not have such a toss as when "Modern Bodyguard" was released in the New Year, after all, the summer file has just begun and is still long. And because Princess Jin and Shaw Brothers both know Chenglong's box office influence, they have not arranged any high-quality new movies to be released during this time, and "Police Story" is a decent opponent.

So this time, Golden Harvest simply united several luxury theaters to form a theater chain with 23 theaters to simultaneously release "Police Story". As for why there is one less theater this time than when "Modern Bodyguard" was first released, it is because the Taiping Theater, which belongs to the luxury theater, closed its doors after screening "Modern Bodyguard" at the beginning of the year.

Needless to say, on the first day of the release of "Police Story", 23 theaters were full, and every theater had a shortage of movie tickets, and many scalpers made a lot of money.

What stunned the theater managers even more was that although the film was released in 23 theaters at the same time, the attendance rate of "Police Story" was almost stable at more than 90% in the next week.

The movie is so popular, and the attendance rate has been high, for no more than two reasons: one is that Chenglong's fame is supported there, think about the bad film "Killer Trench" has received nearly 6 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong, you can imagine how strong Chenglong's box office attraction is; The second is that "Police Story" is indeed very good, under the banner of Chenglong's transformation, and it is a movie made with hard work, which swept away the dull atmosphere in the previous Hong Kong crime action films, attracting the audience to go into the cinema again and again to watch this movie.

In the just-published "Film Fortnightly", the film critic wrote: ""Police Story" is still the consistent style of suppressing evil and promoting good in Chenglong's films, until the end of the fight against evil with good, but this time the story background has been moved from the early Republic of China to the modern era. And Chenglong's transformation work seems to have a Hollywood narrative style, while paving the tense plot, it also does not forget to integrate Chenglong's witty style into it.

The action scenes in the movie have also changed from Chenglong's previous 'slow swallowing' to become fast and powerful. The most memorable line in the whole movie is the long-buried helplessness, disappointment and resentment after some of the protagonists were forced into a desperate situation in the later part of the film, and the roar of "I believe in you, but I can't rely on you" can be called a classic.

Although the delicacy of the picture in this movie is not as good as the director's previous "Smiling Proud Jianghu", from the perspective of the type of movie, the author thinks that the director handled it just right.

The film genre of "Police Story" is a long-established police film in Hong Kong. But unlike previous police and gangster films, the kung fu of Chenglong's iron horse hard bridge this time seems extraordinarily real, every action in the film is hard and hard, without a trace of laziness and ingenuity, even the quiet and beautiful Lin Qingxia is not spared in this film, one is smashed on the coffee table by the "big back", and the other is thrown out and smashed into the window, which makes the audience tremble......"

And now not only the audience is terrified, but even those in the film industry are terrified.

For the first three days, these 23 theaters only scheduled five screenings of "Police Story" every day. However, due to the fact that the audience was too large and enthusiastic, the attendance rate remained high, and the theater had to reduce the number of other cannon fodder films to increase the screening of "Police Story".

On the fourth day of the release of "Police Story", the average number of screenings in 23 theaters increased to a terrifying seven, and even the midnight screenings in some theaters were arranged for "Police Story", and all other films released in Golden Harvest Cinemas were forced to make way for "Police Story".

In just one week, the box office of "Police Story" has reached an astonishing 11.69 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a full 3 million Hong Kong dollars higher than the box office performance of "Modern Bodyguard" in the first week!

"Police Story" not only broke the box office record of Hong Kong films in the first week, but also became the first film in Hong Kong history to grossing more than 10 million in the first week.

The fascinating storyline, the box office appeal of Chenglong's horror and the terrifying film scheduling rate of Golden Harvest have created such an extremely terrifying box office figure.

Li Xuan, like all filmmakers in Hong Kong, was dumbfounded, what does the box office result of 11.69 million represent?

The average ticket price of Hong Kong movies is now 10.5 Hong Kong dollars, which means that 1.1 million Hong Kong people have entered the theater to watch this "Police Story" within a week.

One of the main reasons why some people say that the box office of Hong Kong films is mostly in other cities, and many Reading Power Film companies would rather pay the bottom money than take the film to the Golden Princess for distribution, one of the main reasons is that because of the small population base of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, many movies cannot recover their capital in this port at all. According to a census conducted by the Hong Kong government just now, the population of Hong Kong at this time was only about 5.02 million, including the old, weak, sick and disabled.

The super data of 1.1 million means that more than one-fifth of Hong Kong's population has watched this movie in a week!

Judging from the current horror box office growth rate of "Police Story", there must be fans who have watched the movie more than once, and it is estimated that some people have even watched it several times a day. For example, when Chenglong's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" was released, some people had watched it more than ten times.

The horrific numbers of "Police Story's" first-week box office, attendance and viewership are all a sign of the obvious.

That is, another movie with a box office of 20 million in Hong Kong is about to be born, and the box office is very likely to break the record of "Modern Bodyguard", which will become another new evidence of the prosperity of Hong Kong films!

And just when audiences in Hong Kong and even other cities were unanimously concerned about the box office trend of "Police Story" in Hong Kong, Li Xuan and the main creators of the "Police Story" crew boarded the plane to Taiwan. (To be continued.) )
