Chapter Seventy-Nine: Competing at the Box Office

Chapter Seventy-Nine

Compete at the box office

Although Zhang Yi didn't drink much, he didn't drink a lot, but he was not the opponent of those wine veterans, and he was quickly defeated, and was finally carried back by Lin Xiao and Shi Xia.

The next day, Zhang Yi got up early in the morning, practiced boxing in the courtyard as usual, and then did the program planning of "boys and girls rushing forward" in the study, and did not go out for two days. As for the release of his "Crazy Racing", he seems to have completely forgotten about it, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

It took two days for Zhang Yi to do a good job in the program planning of "Boys and Girls Rushing Forward", and even the design of the pass was drawn with drawings.

This morning, Zhang Yi was practicing boxing.

"Ah Yi!"

Zhang Jing came in and shouted to Zhang Yi.

"Sister, why are you here, it's still so early!" Zhang Yi stopped, looked at Zhang Jing, and then said with a smile.

"I can't come!" Zhang Jing glanced at Zhang Yi and then said.

"You're my sister, of course you can come!" Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Ah Yi, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days, Dad asked if you can ask Xiao Min to spend it together, there are more people!" Zhang Jing said.

"It should be fine! I have to ask Xiao Min about this first. Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.

Chinese New Year's Eve every few days? Zhang Yi really didn't expect that he was still about to start filming Ip Man, and it seemed that he had to step back.

"Ah Yi, take time to spend more time with Xiaomin, the money is endless." Zhang Jing said casually.

"I see, sister. The company is preparing to release a record for Xiaomin, and she is actually quite busy. She didn't have time to go two days before my movie was released. Zhang Yi then said, and explained at the same time.

Recently, he and Zhou Huimin have been busy with each other, and they do have a lot less time to get together.

"Your films? Oh, Ah Yi, can you get me some movie tickets? Many of my classmates wanted to see my brother's new movie, but they couldn't buy tickets, so they called me for help! I made a package ticket, don't you think you let your sister lose her job in front of her classmates! When Zhang Jing heard this, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said.

"Can't buy a ticket? No way! When Zhang Yi heard it, he was shocked, is his movie so popular?

"You, you don't know how popular your movie is right now, do you? It's hard to get a ticket. Zhang Jing looked at her brother with a blank face in disbelief.

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly, and then shouted to the outside world: "Lin Xiao! ”

"Boss, what's the matter?" Lin Xiao came in and immediately asked.

"Bring me a few copies of the newspapers of the past few days, and then call the theater and ask them to help me keep a dozen or so movie tickets." Zhang Yi then said.

"Crazy Racing" became popular, and it was a mess, which was completely unexpected by Zhang Yi. Before the release, Zhang Yi was also worried about whether the movie would be accepted by the audience, after all, they didn't know who Guy Ritchie was? I haven't been exposed to this plot mode, narrative technique.

Perhaps, it is because of such a plot mode and narrative technique that the audience feels surprised, incredible, and even shocked, which is not a visual shock, but a plot shock. That's why "Crazy Racing" is so popular today.

Whether it is the media, film critics, or the audience, it can be said that "Crazy Racing" has been unanimously praised. Push through the old and bring out the new and engage the audience with the story.

The three films were released at the same time, diverting the box office, but its audience also felt amazing. The audience who watched Zhang Yi's "Crazy Racing" was mostly young people, while the audience who watched Xu Guanwen's "Teppanyaki" was mostly older, but the audience who watched "The Secret Order of the Best Partner Queen" in Xinyicheng was in between.

Zhang Yi is absolutely unmatched in popularity among young people under the age of 20, and is regarded as the idol of the younger generation. In the beginning, it was naturally these people who cheered the audience. But later, word of mouth spread, coupled with the listeners of Zhang Yi's songs, fans of novels, and fans of movies, these popularity exploded collectively, and it was difficult for the movie to become popular.

On the first day of "Crazy Racing", the box office just exceeded two million, which was higher than "Teppanyaki", but not as good as "Best Partner Queen's Secret". The whole of the new art city was jubilant, thinking that this time they raised their eyebrows. Unexpectedly, the next day, "Crazy Racing" made a big reversal, directly killing the other two movies, and directly exceeded four million, almost double the first day. The two movies have been brought a long distance apart.

On the third day, the box office continued to rise, exceeding 5 million, and exceeding 10 million with more than 12 million. The rest of the movies, in front of the crazy box office of "Crazy Racing", have disappeared.

Now, three days later, "Crazy Racing" is still hard to find, and the attendance rate remains high.

Looking at these news, Zhang Yi was a little dumbfounded. Unexpected success, always with a taste of surprise.

Could it be that this is the character explosion of the traverser? There is only success, no failure! If it continues like this, it seems that the fat man's worry is still necessary!

Calm down, must be calm! Just because you succeed this time doesn't mean you'll be successful next time. Not having suffered a setback is not necessarily a good thing. Gotta be calm! Don't get carried away by success.

As a reborn traverser, success is not something to be proud of, failure is shameful!

Zhang Yi's mood gradually calmed down, and then became indifferent. The movies I wrote before and the movies I made were successful, and I can face them indifferently every time, and this time it should be now. You can't mess with it just because it's an unexpected surprise.

This success comes with a kind of fluke, and confidence cannot be inflated!

TVB, Uncle Shao looked at Zhang Yi with a smile, he has been in a good mood recently, although "Crazy Racing" was not filmed by Shaw Brothers, but it was released in Shaw Brothers Cinemas, and in the box office competition, it not only defeated Xinyicheng, but most importantly, defeated Golden Harvest.

Not only Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang went out to the Shaw Brothers, but Xu Guanwen didn't go out to the Shaw Brothers.

"Young people, are you interested in cooperating with Shaw Brothers to make a blockbuster, a real blockbuster, and then go and earn money from those ghosts!" Uncle Shao Liu said with a smile, "How much box office can there be in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even the whole of Southeast Asia." If you can enter the European and American markets, a film can top a few, or even a dozen. ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he looked at Shao Daheng and was a little surprised. This person who focuses on TV actually wants to make movies and enter the European and American markets? Did you hear it wrong?

Hong Kong filmmakers, perhaps no one does not want to open up the European and American markets. However, it is one thing to think, it is another thing to do, and it is another thing to do. Nowadays, Hong Kong filmmakers may be the only one who has really entered the European and American markets.

"Uncle Six, doesn't he think too highly of me. Hong Kong movies can be recognized by the European and American markets, and now only Bruce Lee's movies can barely be counted. Although I, Zhang Yi, am confident, I am not arrogant enough to be compared with Bruce Lee. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"Young people, don't be presumptuous. Have a little confidence in yourself. I believe in your grasp of the market! Take a look at the film charts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Southeast Asian countries today, what are the results of the films you have written and filmed. Although there are cultural differences between the two places, it is not necessarily popular in Europe and the United States when it is popular in Southeast Asia. But the copyright of your "Baby Wisdom Multi-Star" was sold to a Hollywood film company, and the box office of the movie they made was hundreds of millions, and it was dollars. And, lately, two Hollywood studios want to bring in your Crazy Racing. Obviously, they are optimistic about the market of your film in Europe and the United States. Shao Tycoon said with a smile.

When Zhang Yi heard this, he was a little surprised, and then fell into deep thought. The temptation of making movies but making money from foreigners is very great. It's just that foreigners' money is really that easy to earn?
