November 7, 1980, fine!

The streets of Xiangjiang at night have not decreased at all after 10 o'clock in the evening, and the enthusiasm of Xiangjiang people for nightlife can be seen, and it is estimated that it will be even more in another ten years.

"Are you okay on a big night, why do you wear sunglasses?" Li Xuechu couldn't help but complain.

"What do you know, that's how a great director looks." Wang Fatzi said so, but still took off his sunglasses, "Today is a big day, and you are wearing too casually." "Today, the film of the two began its midnight test screening. After the test screening, if the audience and the media feedback is good, it will be officially launched the day after tomorrow, and if there is any problem, it may have to be postponed for two days and re-edited according to the audience's response. This is the characteristic of Xiangjiang movies in this era.

"It's just a test screening and not an interview, why is it so grand?"

"I'm going to go up and thank you after the screening."

"It's good if you go, I'm not a director, what are you going to do?"

“…… All right. ”

The weather in Xiangjiang is still not cold in November, and it seems that there is no winter in this city. Li Xuechu also casually wore a long-sleeved T-shirt, and rushed to the cinema with Wang Fatzi, who was in a suit and leather shoes, although he bought a car at the end of last month, but his driver's license had not yet arrived and he couldn't drive it.

The two arrived at the movie theater, met their brothers, showed their tickets, went in together, and sat down in the back row of the movie theater in turn.

The movie theater is almost seventy or eighty percent full, which is not bad for Wang Jin, a newcomer director who has just debuted.

After a few minutes, it was time for the movie to show. The lights of the cinema dimmed, and the noise slowly stopped.

The screen lit up, and the first thing that appeared was the logo of Golden Harvest, followed by his own Oriental DreamWorks Logo, which was quite exquisite, and Li Xuechu looked at it and thought it was okay.

The movie began to be screened, and the plot was still relatively flat in the first few minutes, and this was also the time when the two were most nervous, if someone was impatient to watch it, the movie would be considered a failure.

As time slowly passed, some noise began to sound in the cinema, and the current attention and patience are not good, and Hollywood movies are not able to enter the Xiangjiang market for a long time, in addition to cultural differences, it is also a long foreshadowing in the early stage, which makes the audience impatient.

"Why hasn't it been so long?"

"It's bland, it's boring."

“……”

In a burst of whispering, the two sat on pins and needles.

But fortunately, after the first ten minutes, the movie gradually got better, and the laughter gradually increased.

"Hahaha, that's all right?"

"That guy is so bad, hehe......"

"Isn't that person Xu Wenqiang? I can't imagine that acting in comedy is so good. ”

“……”

Li Xuechu turned his head to look at Zhou Yan, his brother smiled more after the initial nervousness, and it felt good to be praised by the audience in the cinema.

The end of the movie is a family scene that the audience loves.

The scene where He Sheng, the protagonist of the brother play, chases the plane on the electric ladder at the airport, made the audience burst into laughter on the spot, and finally got the understanding of his wife and son, and the ending of the trio also touched many people.

After the subtitles were shown, Wang Jin took Zhou Yan and other actors to the front stage. They were greeted by applause and cheers from the audience.

"It seems that the movie was a success." Li Xuechu listened to the tidal applause at the scene and put down a big stone in his heart......

"Look, Chuzai, the movie review is out."

Early the next morning, Wang Jin knocked on Li Xuechu's door with a large stack of newspapers.

Although they were woken up, Li Xuechu didn't care, and the two of them flipped through the newspapers brought by Wang Jin with great interest, found the film review column, and saw what each newspaper wrote.

The first is the Ming Pao Morning Post, which is considered a related household. When you open it, it's a lot of beautiful words.

"The plot is intriguing, the whole movie is full of laughs, and this is a movie worth watching, with a hilarious and unconventional plot. Congratulations to Mr. Wang Jin, his debut work is worthy of commendation, and congratulations to Mr. Zhou Yan for his wonderful performance. ”

Let's take a look at the next one.

After Xu Wenqiang, brother finally succeeded in creating another role. This is a 'successful' lawyer who is accustomed to false compliments, who says a whole day without a few sincere words, and who can't lie after his child's birthday wishes come true, and who can't lie, is caught in the biggest career and family crisis. This begs the question: has lying become an indispensable skill in our adult world? How many times a day do we lie, and how many do we hear? If one day we suddenly can't lie like the protagonist, will we struggle like the protagonist? …… This is a comedy movie, but there are some things behind the comedy that are also worth pondering. ”

Li Xuechu likes this very much, which shows that our movie has connotation! Hehe...... Let's take a look at the next one.

"Lie or be honest? Each of us has been caught between this choice. Honesty can be unpleasant, and false compliments and excuses for avoidance become social skills...... In reality, it is impossible to lie in a movie, so how do we choose? ”

"Brother's acting skills are admirable, and this is a successful film...... The author can assert that the movie can be loved and sought after by the audience, and this November will not be lonely. ”

Most of the film reviews gave the movie a high degree of praise, and some film reviews gave bad reviews to the exaggerated expressions and body movements in the movie, and there was also a film review that sprayed the unreasonableness of the movie's plot, and it was nonsense that the protagonist couldn't lie because of the birthday wishing director...... Dude, don't you know it's a movie? All of them have to be completely reasonable and take a yarn?

All in all, the results are mostly good.

"Hehe, it'll be online tomorrow." Wang Fatzi's face was full of joy, "The audience response is good, and the movie evaluation is relatively good, our movie will definitely make money." ”

"Needless to say? Don't look at who wrote the script either. Li Xuechu was complacent, completely forgetting that the script was actually plagiarized by himself, but no one knew anyway, right?

In this way, the movie began to be released in anticipation.

At the time of the second screening, there were 14 theaters and six screenings. The box office on the first day was more than 110,000 yuan, which means that nearly 14,000 people watched the movie, about 1,000 people per family, and the average attendance rate was about 60%.

Later, with the rise of word of mouth, the number of theaters and shows added gradually increased, and the attendance rate increased instead of decreasing, and by the weekend, the box office exceeded 500,000, and the weekly box office reached 1.45 million.

And that's just the beginning.

In the second week, the box office dropped a little after the weekend, but compared with the weekday, the box office was still improving, and it reached 600,000 on the weekend, setting another good result. The total box office in the second week was 2.25 million.

Two million in the third week.

In November, the box office exceeded 6 million, only 5 million short of Chen Long's 11 million box office record.

The Hong Kong film industry was in an uproar.

"Xiangjiang movies have entered a golden age?"

"After Chen Long's junior brother broke through 10 million, the second movie that broke 10 million is about to be born?"

"The new director Wang Jin, one work may break through the height of his predecessors, and the sword is aimed at tens of millions." ……

However, after December, the box office began to decline.

Week 4: 1.8 million.

Week 5: 1.3 million.

In the sixth week, because of the obvious decline in the box office, the movie was drawn in many theaters, with a weekly box office of 900,000.

Seventh week, four hundred and thirty thousand. At this point, the movie is completely drawn.

But even so, the total box office of the movie did break through the 10 million mark, reaching 10.4 million, which is only 600,000 short of the current box office champion.

"The King of Big Words" was a great success in Xiangjiang!

On December 15th, at the Xiangjiang Kaiyue Hotel, the crew of Dahuawang held a grand celebration banquet, and guests gathered.

Wang Fatzi and Li Xuechu stood in front of the hotel to greet guests.

"Brother Sanmao."

"Congratulations to the two of you, you have won the battle! Now I have more expectations for drunk heroes. "Hong Jinbao came over with the whole Hong family's class, and there were twenty or thirty people.

"Hehe, I hope too. It shouldn't be a big problem, but it will be counted in next year's box office results. Li Xuechu said with a smile.

Hung Jinbao and Chen Long are friends, brothers, and competitors. After Chen Long's junior brother set a record of 11 million at the box office in Hong Kong, Hong Jiaban also worked hard to catch up. At present, the two parts used to fight in the ring are ghost fighting ghosts and drunken heroes.

"By the way, Uncle Huai may also come over later." Hong Jinbao reminded.

"Uncle Huai is coming over too?" Wang Jin was overjoyed.

Hong Jinbao smiled and just wanted to say a few words, when a loud laugh came.

"Hahaha, what a young talent, congratulations to the two." A man in his fifties with a rich face walked over, followed by Mecca and Huang Baining, needless to say that it must be Tycoon Lei.

"Boss Lei." Hong Jinbao smiled and said hello.

No matter how you fight in private, everyone is still amicable on the face, not to mention that no matter how ruthless the fight is, it is a matter between a few big guys, and many of the people below actually have a good personal relationship with each other.

"Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun have all seen it now, and they are just Shao Tycoon." Li Xuechu thought secretly.
