On June 10th, under the operation of Tengfei Entertainment, "Nightclub" was released as scheduled, and Golden Harvest and Golden Princess had already responded, Golden Princess released "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", which is a movie directed by Mai Dangxiong, and Golden Harvest released "Sandwich Sand Exhibition", a police film.

In the first scene of the premiere day, the attendance report of "Nightclub" was quickly sent to Wang Zichuan, looking at the neat and neat text, he couldn't help but think of the experience of waiting for the box office nervously, and couldn't help but smile secretly, it was still convenient for his own theater, and he didn't need to send someone to the theater to squat.

Flipping through the text jiàn folder, Wang Zichuan looked at the statistics of the theater manager, and was even more satisfied, the theater Pingjun attendance rate reached seventy percent! It's still the off-season, and the starring role of "Nightclub" is not a big-name star, and seventy percent of the attendance rate is already very good.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Wang Jin and Chen Baixiang opened the door together, and asked in unison: "Ah Chuan, I heard that the attendance rate of the theater has been counted?" ”

Wang Zichuan glanced at Chen Baixiang and said embarrassedly: "Ah Lak, this is what I ordered the theater manager to send to me first, don't blame them." ”

Chen Baixiang pressed the table with both hands, stretched out his head to look at the report in Wang Zichuan's hand, and said urgently: "How can I blame them, now Ah Jin and I just want to know what the theater attendance rate is?" ”

Wang Jin also nodded busily in agreement, the predecessor of the Oriental Cinema Line was the Cinema Line, and the attendance rate of the Cinema Line was notoriously low, and he secretly doubted the attendance rate of the Cinema Line more than once.

"The attendance rate of the theater is 70%!"

After Wang Zichuan finished speaking, Wang Jin and Chen Baixiang breathed a sigh of relief, and the attendance rate of seventy percent was acceptable. It seems that the effect of the propaganda was immediate.

Wang Jin carefully looked at the report and said, "I don't know what the attendance rate of the second game is?" If attendance continues to rise in today's six-game show. That means that "Nightclub" is a success, and it will take at least a week to go through a grand slam. That is to say, the theater is not absent, and when the painting is made, it is not a problem for the box office to exceed 20 million. ”

Chen Baixiang smiled: "Then wait here, in another hour, you will almost come out." ”

Time passed silently, Chen Baixiang didn't look at his watch, Wang Jin sat on the sofa and closed his eyes thinking about something, Wang Zichuan studied the theater attendance rate just now.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Wang Jin and Chen Baixiang looked at the people together.

"Boss, the second game attendance is out of the statistics!"

This time did not wait for Wang Zichuan to speak. Wang Jin directly stepped forward to take Wen Jiàn and said, "Okay, you can go back first." ”

Chen Baixiang hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Wang Zichuan looked at the final statistics and said with a smile: "The theater attendance rate has increased by 7%!" Seventy percent of the tickets for the third show have been sold, and fifty percent of the tickets for the fourth movie have been sold! ”

"Great!" Chen Baixiang couldn't help but let out a low snort, his face was full of joy, it seems that the grand slam that Wang Jin said is very likely to appear.

When the matter came to an end, Wang Zichuan breathed a sigh of relief and got up to put on his coat. Pick up the car keys and plan to leave.

"Ah Chuan, where are you going? There are still four results to come! Wang Jin blinked his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that Wang Zichuan was because he couldn't wait. I want to go to the theater to find out.

Wang Zichuan said: "I have to go back, I've been busy with the release of "Nightclub" in the past few days, and I still have some things to deal with at home." I'll leave it to you here. ”

Thinking of Aunt Li and Nannan, Wang Zichuan always wants to go back and see. The two of them were not familiar with Hong Kong at all, so they did not accompany them. Don't dare to go out at all.

Chen Baixiang reminded: "Ah Chuan, the crew of "Happy Ghost" can prepare, Ah Jin has not been available recently, is the film still self-directed and self-acted?" ”

Wang Zichuan scratched his head, at the beginning, the company had no talent to catch ducks on the shelves, but now there are too many directors to use up, and he is still used to go into battle in person?

"Happy ghost or I play it, the director doesn't care, do you have any recommended candidates?"

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "You still have to ask Ah Jin about this, he knows best about this, the director of the company, which one has the ability, he knows best." ”

Wang Jin Zhengse said: "Let's not talk about the director, I would like to recommend a photographer." ”

"Who?" Looking at Wang Jin who was so solemn, Wang Zichuan stopped, still quite curious in his heart, Wang Jin's eyes were not just appreciating beauties.

"His name is Liu Weiqiang, the little brother I brought from the Wei family, he was a field manager at the beginning, and recently upgraded to be a photographer, this kid is smart and studious, I think he can be trained to be a director."

Liu Weiqiang! Wang Zichuan was surprised, but he didn't expect that this 'great god' was also in his own company, and his favorite "Fengyun" and "Crazy Boy" series were directed by him.

"Ah Jin, I will choose Liu Weiqiang to be the photographer of "Happy Ghost", and then work part-time as an assistant director."

Wang Jin nodded with satisfaction, greatly encouraged, and continued: "The director will choose the Zheng Tong group, since the filming of "Brave Double Cannon", he has been idle. ”

"Okay, that's him!"

Not only did the senior management of Tengfei Entertainment pay attention to the box office of the premiere of "Nightclub", but also Golden Harvest and New Art City, and they even paid more attention to Cheng Dù than their own films, but the result disappointed them.

The three high-level executives of Jiahe gathered together for a meeting, Zou Wenhuai kept smoking cigars, He Guanchang and Cai Yongchang were smoking cigarettes, and the office was shrouded in smoke, as if it was a 'fairy world'.

Cai Yongchang said: "It turned out that when Tengfei Company promoted "Nightclub", I was still dismissive, Hong Kong is the millions of people, and then publicize, the box office is the same, I didn't expect the effect to be immediate, it seems that we will also pay attention to this aspect in the future." ”

Zou Wenhuai shook his head, the smoke made the two of them unable to see his face clearly, he did not approve of the promotion of the movie, how much can a film make them? If you count the publicity expenses, you have to subtract a lot, besides, whose publicity expenses are counted? Golden Harvest Cinema Line will definitely not bear it, and the producers are even more unwilling.

""Nightclub" is a special example, Tengfei Entertainment produces its own films, and Golden Harvest's films are all subsidiaries under its name, and they will not agree."

He Guanchang held a cigarette in his mouth, "Now let's talk about how to ban Tengfei Entertainment, "Nightclub" let them escape, but the summer file is a good opportunity." Jiahe and Xinyicheng all have big productions, and I don't believe that they can't suppress Tengfei Entertainment. ”

Golden Harvest released "Fast Food Truck" in the summer. This is a script written by Wang Zichuan, and there is also his investment of one million in it. The new art city released "Family Portrait", the bald guy also invited Wang Zichuan to be the leading actor, these two movies are all well-made commercial films, "Fast Food Truck" needless to say, the martial arts scenes in it are wonderful and hot, "Family Portrait" takes the family comedy route, and the new art city group of seven is disgusting.

Cai Yongchang said: "The summer file is two months, and at least three films must be prepared in order to completely block the Oriental Cinema Line." In addition to "Food Truck", there is also "Gentleman Kindness" produced by Yongjia Film Company, and there are no other good films. ”

He Guanchang hurriedly interrupted the other party's speech: "This is not good, Wang Zichuan is the best at exploiting loopholes, we can't be a little negligent, I will build yì, or schedule the film in advance, and unite with Xinyicheng to completely occupy the entire summer file." ”

Speaking of the summer file, Zou Wenhuai was distracted. He remembered the "True Colors of Heroes" mentioned by Wang Zichuan, 10 million big productions, counting up, this movie has already started filming. Could this be Wang Zichuan's hole card?

"Tengfei Entertainment has produced a movie called "The True Color of Heroes", and the director is Wu Yusen. If you inquire about its schedule, I think this is the reason why Wang Zichuan dares to lease the Cinema Line. We focused on sniping at this film to discourage him. ”

He Guanchang couldn't help but show a ruthless look. Xi said: "Don't worry, this package is on me, Tengfei Entertainment has someone I have installed, and there is no problem to inquire about this news." ”

Cai Yongchang shook his head secretly, he didn't know why He Guanchang hated Wang Zichuan so much, and he had to target him in everything, making ruthless moves, leaving no room for it.

He Guanchang regarded the release of "Merry Christmas" in other cities as a great shame, except for Zou Wenhuai, no third person in Jiahe knew, Cai Yongchang also thought that Wang Zichuan was against Jiahe, which caused He Guanchang to hate.

Zou Wenhuai extinguished the cigar, lit another one, and said: "Tengfei Entertainment is not a big problem for us, we can't just watch out for Tengfei Entertainment, as well as Xinyi City, we must not lose again this year." ”

The box office champion of the year, Golden Harvest has lost for two consecutive years, all of which have fallen in front of "Best Partner", and last year's "Five Lucky Stars", which had high hopes, was defeated by "The Best Partner's Great Miracle", and this year's "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret" collected nearly 30 million box office, which is an astonishing number.

Cai Yongchang said: ""Plan A" only has a box office of 20 million under the sniping of "Best Partner", and "Fast Food Truck" is at most 25 million. ”

How can Zou Wenhuai not understand this truth, but let him admit defeat, this is impossible, in the 70s, Golden Harvest dominated the Hong Kong film industry, did he have to suffer three defeats in a row in front of the new art city?

He Guanchang pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "I have a way, I don't know if I can turn defeat into victory!" ”

"How?" Zou Wenhuai put down his cigar and looked at He Guanchang.

He Guanchang smiled dryly: "Although I look down on Wang Zichuan's personality, but I have to admit his talent, in March, Ah Long told me that Wang Zichuan gave him a script, which seems to be called "Police Story", and asked me if I could shoot it, and it can be seen that Ah Long admires that book very much, why don't we shoot "Police Story" and give it a go!" ”

"Police Story? Let's be a cop movie! Zou Wenhuai showed a depressed expression, now the audience is not interested in police movies, and comedy police movies are still possible, but Cheng Long is good at action movies, and humor cells are really not good at it.

The reason why He Guanchang mentioned this film is because of Wang Zichuan's attitude, listening to Cheng Long, this surnamed Wang didn't agree to sell the script, and he had to cooperate with Cheng Long to start the film, the other party was like a ghost, and there must be a reason for biting it.

Cai Yongchang agreed, and analyzed: "Since Aaron came back from Hollywood, there has been no new breakthrough, the box office of the film is tepid, it is not a way to go on like this, I think Aaron can take the lead alone, no matter what, he must win a box office champion, otherwise it will be a pity to be silent like this!" ”

As Cheng Long's godfather, He Guanchang had no reason to object, and praised: "Not bad! Aaron is making a full comeback, and "Police Story" is an opportunity to be released in the New Year. ”

Zou Wenhuai couldn't figure out the cost of "Police Story", and said: "I've read the script and decided, I heard that Xinyicheng has cut the cost of production, such as the "Best Partner" series of films, it is impossible to shoot again, Guanchang, you ask Along, how much is the cost of "Police Story", Xinyicheng has reduced the cost of production, and we Jiahe want to be brilliant in this regard!" Take the opportunity to release a few more large-scale zuò, and it is best to surpass the new art city in one fell swoop. (To be continued......)
