Chapter 130: Applause or Not?
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
On January 23, 1983, the day after the release of "If the Wine Sells Nothing", on Sunday, Lin Jing did not go out, but stayed in the room and wrote "Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
For the writing of Harry. Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", because the purpose was to tempt her brother to learn English, so she did not rush all night as she had done in the previous works such as "Heroes", "Kunlun" and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", but waited for her brother to read and thoroughly understand a part before continuing to write the following part.
So the progress is very slow, and now almost a month has passed, and I have only written more than 200,000 words.
Sincere! Sincere! Sincere!
"Sister, it's me." There was a knock on the door, and the voice of his younger brother Lin Yan came from outside the door.
"Come in!"
Lin Yan opened the door and rushed in like a whirlwind with a large stack of newspapers in his hand.
"Sister, sister, hurry, hurry, read the newspaper!" Lin Yan said breathlessly.
"What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
"Sister, the newspaper says you have a boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend?"
Lin Jing was stunned for a moment, how could I have a boyfriend, isn't this?
"Is it true?" Lin Yan asked cautiously.
"Fake, how can my sister have a boyfriend!" Lin Jing replied directly, and then took all the newspapers in his brother's hand and flipped through them one by one.
"This one." Lin Yan directly pulled out a richly printed newspaper from a stack of newspapers, "Huh, that's what it says."
"Lin Jing dressed up in disguise and went out with friends, watching the movie "If the Wine Sells Nothing" written by herself."
A newspaper that was clearly a gossip tabloid wrote this sentence on the front page.
Underneath the title, there is also a night photo of two people.
A person's silhouette is very similar to Lin Jing, when most people see this photo, they think it is Lin Jing, as for the other person, the angle of the reporter who took the photo is very tricky, or his intention, so that the person is only half a small side, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
The so-called "picture and truth", coupled with the misleading word "out of the double in pair", people who read the newspaper have a question rising in their minds: Is this person Lin Jing's boyfriend?
Lin Jing couldn't help but cry and laugh a little, isn't this a naked fraud?
The editor of this newspaper is inevitably too capable, knowing that this is not the truth, but in order to attract attention, he deliberately concocted a "truth" that seems to be true and false.
"This person is your Sister Comin, and you've seen it before." Seeing his younger brother Lin Yan looking at him suspiciously, Lin Jing had no choice but to explain.
"Oh, it turns out that sister, you went to watch a movie with Sister Comin last night." Lin Yan nodded thoughtfully and said.
"No other questions, right?"
"Nope."
Lin Yan shook his head, and then walked out.
After Lin Yan went out, Lin Jing didn't have the heart to continue writing.
She stood up, took a few deep breaths, calmed down her agitated feelings, walked around the room a few times, still a little irritable in her heart, and picked up the other newspapers.
Fortunately, other newspapers were not as unscrupulous as the gossip tabloid.
""If the Wine Sells Nothing" was released simultaneously in Hong Kong and Taiwan."
This is the headline of other newspapers.
"Lin Jing is a restless and unwilling author, she writes novels, writes history, and also supervises the screenplay. This time, she brings us all a sad story. This story shook me, moved me, brought me to tears, and grieved. ”
"The combination of Lin Jing and Xu Anhua dropped a heavy tear gas bomb in this commercial film industry full of laughter!"
"If the Wine Sells Nothing" is a tragic drama, constantly sensationalizing from beginning to end, constantly "artificially" creating all kinds of disasters. But "If the Wine Sells Nothing" is not just a tragic drama, because in addition to making people cry, it can also bring deeper thinking to the audience. ”
"Thank you very much to the screenwriter of this film, Miss Lin Jing, and the director of Ms. Xu Anhua, for giving us the privilege to see such film and television works that can give us a conscience in such an impetuous and utilitarian era. If you don't believe it, hold your breath and observe carefully, maybe you will see the role we play in a moment. ”
"This is a film that can resonate with a generation, "If the Wine Is Dry" not only reflects the tragedy of one or two families, but also reflects the tragedy of an era."
"In this movie, we can all show ourselves and find ourselves, and the difference is whether we can change ourselves after watching this movie."
……
In Hong Kong, for the first time, many media outlets have rarely applauded a movie.
And the opposite of the applause is -
A week later, the box office statistics of "If the Wine Sells Nothing" came out, Hong Kong was 43o Hong Kong dollars, and Taiwan was 8oo New Taiwan dollars.
According to the latest exchange rate statistics in January 1983, 8oo New Taiwan dollars to huàn into Hong Kong dollars, about 16o yuan.
The weekly box office of 43o is a result that can already be celebrated for the vast majority of Hong Kong films. But not for Lin Jing, because this is the lowest weekly box office among the three screenplays she wrote.
The weekly box office of "Five Lucky Stars" is 5.13 million Hong Kong dollars, and after "If the Wine Sells Dryly", "Plan A" is even more powerful, directly 16.73 million, almost a world of difference.
By the second week, the box office in Hong Kong was HK$2.75 million, and the box office in Taiwan was NT$9oo, or about HK$18o.
The Hong Kong box office dropped by half directly, and "experts" speculated that the reason why the weekly box office of "If the Wine Sells Nothing" was able to reach 430,000 Hong Kong dollars was due to the "celebrity effect" of Lin Jing, the screenwriter.
But for a movie, the effect of the "celebrity effect" can be temporary, but it can't last, so in the second week, the box office plummeted by half.
"Lin Jing's third screenwriting film "If the Wine Sells Nothing" encountered Waterloo, and it was not popular!"
A newspaper directly put this paragraph as a headline in the newspaper.
Fortunately, at a time when the Hong Kong box office is sluggish, the Taiwan box office has not followed the slump, but has risen slightly, but this fixed rise is just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of many people.
In the third week, the box office in Hong Kong was HK$1.87 million, and the box office in Taiwan was NT$15oo, which is about HK$3oo0,000.
The Hong Kong box office has fallen irrepressibly, even to the freezing point.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Taiwan's box office was steadily rising, and the increase was very large, showing two extremes.
In the fourth week, "If the Wine Sells Nothing" has been drawn in Hong Kong, and it is still being released in Taiwan, with a box office of NT$120,000, about HK$240,000, a slight decline, but not much.
In the fifth week, because of the strong demand of Taiwanese citizens, "If the Wine Sells Nothing", which was supposed to be painted, was still released, and the box office came to a strong explosion, and the box office soared to NT$2ooo, about 4oo Hong Kong dollars.
In the sixth week, "If the Wine Sells Nothing" still has not been painted, although the box office has fallen back to more than NT$110,000, about HK$220,000.
It wasn't until the seventh week that "If the Wine Sells Nothing" was forced to take over the movie, and finally the next painting.
But in the middle of the year and at the end of the year, it was re-released twice, and of course, that's all for later.
(There is no specific information on the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar and the Hong Kong dollar in the 80s, only the exchange rate between them and the US dollar, and this exchange rate is only found in a few years.) However, the exchange rates of the New Taiwan Dollar and the Hong Kong Dollar in the 80s were very unstable, and the fluctuations from month to month were very large. Therefore, the keyboard can only take the individual year that you can find, and then take an approximate value. (To be continued.) )
