Chapter 792: Hong Kong Box Office

Wang Zichuan took a look at it, Chen Baixiang's statistics are very detailed, the clear table is clear at a glance, and there is also an analysis, the annual box office growth share, and the change in the number of moviegoers.

In 1980, Hong Kong-made films officially entered a period of rapid growth, ranking 184303469 total box office revenue of Hong Kong dollars, and it is worth mentioning that the ticket price for the back seat was only 8 Hong Kong dollars, and the total number of moviegoers was 23 million.

Analyzing the number of the front row, Wang Zichuan gasped, no wonder Hong Kong can support such a huge film market, the Tsui family also carried out industrial production, 23 million people, for a population of 5 million, it is simply crazy, on average everyone has to enter the cinema 4 to 5 times a year, if the major cities in China have such achievements in the future, the mainland market will definitely surpass the United States.

In the early 80s, Hong Kong films could be said to be green and yellow, the literary style of the 70s was long gone, followed by a bunch of monster films and kung fu movies without a specific direction, and only the first "Brother and Brother" was a box office movie with tens of millions of dollars, and Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest can be said to be on par, 20

Ouchi accounted for 6 and 5 films respectively, and at this time, the Kui clan had not yet declined, and Shaw's ambition was still the same.

In 1981, the total box office revenue of Hong Kong films was 241911574 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 57 million over 1980, because the ticket price increased by 2 yuan to 10 Hong Kong dollars, the most worthwhile idea of this year is the rapid rise of the golden princess behind the scenes of the new art city, this film company that called for wind and rain in the next few years, in the top 20 box office in 1981, the golden princess accounted for as many as 7, and the leading brother Shaw Brothers only had 7, and Golden Harvest was even more attacked before and after (the golden princess plus some new film companies) , only 3 of the top 20 are produced by Golden Harvest, and movie comedies have also begun to rise, such as the originators of chasing girls "Chasing Girls" and "Ghost Horse Zhiduoxing" are ranked second and second.

See here. Wang Zichuan subconsciously glanced at Wang Jin, chasing girls series is this Jun's masterpiece, at the beginning, Yi Yifu admired Wang Jin very much, the directors of the Zong brothers are all salary, whether the movie sells well or not, they get a dead salary, and the salary scale is set according to the box office, and the salary of tens of millions of directors is by no means the same as the salary of millions of directors, and Wang Jin is very special, the Dian brothers, who have always been stingy, actually allowed Wang Jin to share dividends. Although there was only a 2% dividend, the Brothers were still unique at that time.

In 1982, the total box office revenue of Hong Kong films was 404116470 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 2 times compared with 1980, and the backseat ticket price increased by 2 Hong Kong dollars to 12 Hong Kong dollars, which was an encouraging year, because the total box office of the whole year increased by one-third compared with 1981, and more

8 movies with a box office of more than 10 million, but the most brilliant is "Best Partner" by Zuò made by Xinyicheng. This film was not only the first film to exceed 20 million at the box office, but also the highest number of admissions since the opening of Hong Kong, with a backseat ticket price of HK$12 at the time, and more than 2 million people attended the film compared to the population of Hong Kong at that time only 5 million. is absolutely unprecedented, if it is replaced by the current Hong Kong, the ticket price is 24 Hong Kong dollars, and the box office will be 40 million. You must know that at that time, the scale of the Golden Princess Cinema was only half of that of today's Oriental Cinema, and it could theoretically reach a box office of 80 million, with the potential exceeding "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Truant Weilong".

Zeng Zhiwei quietly glanced at Mecca. He whispered, "This information is more detailed than what we originally counted. ”

Looking at the analysis of "Best Partner", Mecca smiled and whispered: "As mentioned above, this is the most potential film since the opening of Hong Kong, when I advocated making "Best Partner", Mr. Lei still didn't believe me!" ”

Zeng Zhiwei said meaningfully: "Bald guy, I think you are Jiang Lang's end, you have been here for so long to take off entertainment, and I don't see you play such a skill, be careful that Mr. Wang will trouble you." ”

"Zeng Shorty, what do you mean by that!" Mecca had a tiger face, Zeng Zhiwei's words made him feel weak, he has joined Tengfei Entertainment for so long, he really hasn't done anything 'earth-shattering', will Ah Chuan think I'm hiding because of this, Mecca pondered for a while, and a sense of urgency suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't wait to make a blockbuster film to prove himself immediately.

Wang Zichuan ignored Mecca and Zeng Zhiwei's whispers, but continued to look down, he didn't care about the previous numbers, the most important thing is that after he came to Hong Kong, 1983 was his first year in Hong Kong, and he didn't know if his little butterfly had caused any changes.

In 1983, the total box office revenue of Hong Kong films was 421229507 Hong Kong dollars, seeing this number, Wang Zichuan began to doubt his eyes, and after watching it two or three times, he confirmed that it was indeed 420 million, an increase of 20 million box office over last year, and the average backseat ticket price was 13.5 Hong Kong dollars, an increase of 1.5 Hong Kong dollars over last year.

Although Wang Zichuan was surprised by this number, he had to admit that Hong Kong films had entered a golden age, and film production was no longer the patent of large companies, as long as there were creativity and good actors, some independent production would also be popular, as if Chen Xun's series of comedies accounted for three of the top 20, and the large company Golden Harvest also washed away the past grievances, and made persistent efforts, accounting for as many as five of the top 20, and the film company began to decline, although Wang Jin and other rising stars supported, but a group of old directors dragged their feet, Shaw has planned to focus on operating TV stations and reducing the number of films, which will be difficult to return.

In this year, Wang Zichuan established Tengfei Entertainment and produced three movies, "Happy Ghost", "Merry Christmas", and "Brave Double Cannon", and a poor boy became a multimillionaire in just eight months.

Seeing this batch of numbers, Wang Zichuan felt a lot of emotion, when he first arrived in Hong Kong, he was reluctant to eat a good meal, if it weren't for Weng Meiling, Huang Yuehua, and Yang Pan to help him, he would probably have to waste a few months before he could start a business.

"Huh?" Wang Zichuan continued to look down and couldn't help but let out a surprised voice.

Wang Jin hurriedly reassured Wen Jiàn and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "The total box office increased so quickly the year before last, it was as much as 200 million, which is too surprising, and in 1981, the total box office was only about 200 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

In 1984, the total box office revenue of Hong Kong films was 620817765! The average rear seat ticket price is HK$18.

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "Maybe it's the reason why we take off entertainment, at that time, some people called 84 and 85 the year of take-off, which means that this year belongs to our take-off entertainment." ”

Wang Zichuan quipped: "Although British Prime Minister Lady Ditchell fell in the capital in 84, which caused panic in Hong Kong and hit the economy hard, it did not affect the film industry at all, but it was thriving." ”

Wang Jin smiled evilly: "If you want me to say that there is an economic crisis, everyone has no job, they are idle at home, and they have nothing to come out to watch movies, then we will get rich." ”

"Poof...... Manager Wang, what you said is so reasonable, I was by the senior brother for a while, I had nothing to do, and I ran to the cinema to watch movies all day long! Zeng Zhiwei couldn't help laughing, not only did not refute, but instead agreed.

Wang Zichuan was speechless, if the Hong Kong citizens heard these words, Wang Jin would have to be beaten.

In 1985, the total box office revenue of Hong Kong films was 708754954, under the guidance of Tengfei Entertainment, the backseat ticket price grew rapidly, and this year was also a glorious period for Tengfei Entertainment. began to show a declining trend, if it weren't for Cheng Long to support the overall situation, maybe Jiahe would have gone to Xinyicheng first.

This year was the year when Ascendas Entertainment reached its peak, sounding the clarion call for the prosperity of Hong Kong films alone, shaking Southeast Asia, and large and small film companies gathered in Hong Kong to compete for the film market.

The movie starring Cheng Long is also a blockbuster, and it has made great contributions to supporting the Golden Harvest movie Wang Guoguo.

This year, the new art city did not have the signature product "Best Partner", and under Lei Juekun's strategy of reducing production costs, he could only please the audience with a number of sketches, without much action, and he was secretly sad.

On the other hand, the movie Gongdebao has sprung up, with its own brand "Double Cannon" series, and also created a precedent for kung fu films, "Royal Senior Sister" with women as the protagonists, Pan Disheng is ambitious, bidding tens of millions of dollars to dig Xu Guanwen out of the mountain.

As of October, this year's Hong Kong film box office ranking has a total box office revenue of 690352200, and the backseat ticket price is 24, the most talked-about this year is "Let the Bullets Fly" and "Truant Weilong", these two films are precisely Tengfei Entertainment's production zuò, two films, "Let the Bullets Fly" made Liu Dehua popular, and "Truant Weilong" became popular Zhou Xingchi.

Thinking of Zhou Xingchi, Wang Zichuan thought of the kidnapping incident again, and it was impossible to solve this matter silently, because the kidnapping of Zhou Xingchi was Hong Xing's person, and people with a heart naturally knew his relationship with Hong Xing.

"Alas!"

Chen Baixiang sighed when he saw Wang Zichuan, and said tentatively: "Is there something wrong with the text?" ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "That's not it, let's continue to discuss." ”

Chen Baixiang's heart moved, and he said tentatively: "Ah Chuan, are you worried about Ah Xing?" ”

Wang Zichuan was shocked: "How do you know...... Zhou Xingchi was kidnapped? ”

Shi Nansheng explained with a smile: "Mr. Wang, how can such a big thing be hidden, as soon as Wu Mengda came back, he was like a headless fly, and we all heard the employees talking before the meeting. ”

He Jiajian said: "There is also a message from the police, let us assist." (To be continued......)
