"Truant Dragon" was released for eleven days, the attendance rate remained high, and it continued to show a hot state, and the last show on August 9, the cumulative box office exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

""Truant Dragon" can become a masterpiece of Zhou Xingchi's style, whether it is the structure of the play or the joke gimmick, it is very serious to complete, the design of the joke alone has taken a lot of painstaking work, the classic language and behavior can become Zhou Xingchi's unique Peugeot, the success of the film in the school theme, I believe it will drive a large number of school films in Hong Kong and Taiwan to appear, become a trend." ——Apple Daily

"The first killer of the Flying Tigers is a student in an undercover school, this kind of role is very suitable for Zhou Xingchi, in one case he is a top master, and in the other case he is an absolute rookie, the big contrast in identity is the best condition for Zhou Xingchi to play his acting skills, in addition, several supporting roles with strong comedy play a foil role." - "Film Fortnightly"

"Even though this movie is a comedy action movie, there aren't too many action scenes. Despite this, the few action scenes are designed cleanly, unlike many action movies, where the fight is endless, muddy and watery, and even the final fight scene is very short. —Oriental Daily News

"Although there are a lot of gimmicks and jokes in the comedy of the film, it is basically not low-level and boring, and it is much stronger than Wang Jin's entertainment films, which is also the reason why this "Truant Dragon" is more interesting than those films." ——Sing Tao Daily

Tengfei Entertainment, Wang Zichuan held a small meeting to discuss the issue of extending the release period of "Truant Dragon", except for Wang Zichuan to attend the meeting, only Chen Baixiang and Wang Jin, the real decision-makers of Tengfei Entertainment.

"This issue of Sing Tao Daily is too much!" Wang Jin raised the "Sing Tao Daily" in his hand, pointed to the film of "Truant Weilong" above, and complained indignantly: "This is not to let Zhou Xingchi's guy step on me to take the position!" ”

Chen Baixiang laughed and said: "I think what this film critic said makes sense, your set is really outdated." "Truant Dragon" was released for a month, and the box office will definitely exceed 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which is likely to break the box office record of "Let the Bullets Fly"! ”

Wang Jin squinted at Chen Baixiang and sneered: "Breaking the box office record? It would be good if the box office of "Truant Dragon" could exceed 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is still a big step away from the box office discipline of "Let the Bullets Fly". ”

Chen Baixiang argued: "The schedule of "Let the Bullets Fly" is the most popular New Year's file, and it has been released for a whole month, do you think about it, if "Truant Dragon" is also released in the New Year's file, the effect will be worse than "Let the Bullets Fly"? ”

Wang Zichuan glared at Wang Jin and reminded: "The theme of today's meeting is to discuss the release deadline of "Truant Dragon". Today is August 10th, according to the original screening plan, in five days, "Truant Dragon" should be painted. ”

Chen Baixiang reminded: "The last film is "Prison Storm", you can adjust the schedule of this film and postpone it to September, so that "Truant Dragon" will have a 20-day schedule, and the box office in this port alone can make a profit of at least 30 million Hong Kong dollars. ”

Wang Zichuan nodded slowly. Wang Jin is not refuting, this account can be calculated by both of them, according to the original film schedule, "Truant Dragon" will be screened for fifteen days. The cumulative box office is about 40 million, excluding the cost of production and theatrical screening, the company can make a profit of 25 million. If the screening period is extended, by one day, the box office of "Truant Dragon" can increase by two million. Fifteen days is 30 million, and most of the 30 million Hong Kong dollars excluding the cost of cinema screenings are pure profits.

Chen Baixiang asked: "Ah Chuan, what do you think?" ”

Wang Zichuan already agreed with Chen Baixiang's idea in his heart, and said calmly: "The screening period can be extended, but the specific time must be grasped well, now the film has more than 2 million income in one day, and there is no such profitable company in Hong Kong!" ”

Wang Jinhan said with a smile: "This is true, if the theater chain can make so much money every day, Tengfei Entertainment can make billions a year, and Li Jiacheng can't compare to us." ”

Chen Baixiang couldn't see Wang Jin's villain's smug face the most, and scolded with a smile: "You think beautifully, Li Jiacheng's wealth is growing too fast, and the two of us can't catch up with others, Hutchison Whampoa can develop a project casually, and Li Jiacheng can raise tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars." ”

Wang Jin didn't mean to be angry, but looked at Wang Zichuan with a smile, others don't know, he and Chen Baixiang can know that Wang Zichuan is the second largest shareholder of Hutchison Whampoa, vice chairman of the board of directors, second only to Li Jiacheng in power, in the past two years, under the leadership of Li Jiacheng, the market value of Hutchison Whampoa has increased several times, and the dividend alone is an astronomical amount.

Chen Baixiang said enviously: "If only I had made up my mind, I would have eaten a large amount of shares in Hutchison Whampoa, and now my net worth can at least increase several times, and the name of a billionaire will be solid." ”

Wang Zichuan thought about it, this was the best time to persuade Chen Baixiang, and reminded with a smile: "It's not too late now, you take out all your money to buy Hutchison Whampoa stocks, and within two years, you will at least double the profit." ”

Chen Baixiang's face changed, and he said vaguely: "Not now, there are too many rich people staring at Hutchison Whampoa, they eat meat, I can't even drink soup, any turmoil can make me bankrupt." ”

"Whatever you want!" Wang Zichuan sighed secretly, it seems that Chen Baixiang has been trapped in the futures index, bankruptcy is a matter of time, this lesson should allow him to be honest for a few years.

Seeing that his old friend was deflated, Wang Jin relieved the siege and said: "Ah Lak, I think what Ah Chuan said makes sense, I have earned 200 million yuan in the past two years, and all of them have been invested in the stock market of Hutchison Whampoa." ”

Chen Baixiang secretly complained, he also wanted to do this, but the money in the account had been forcibly supervised by the bank, because he gambled on a futures index, and the money in the account was converted into a margin, and the futures index bet was right, he became a billionaire, and if he lost the futures index, he had only one way to go bankrupt.

Wang Zichuan said meaningfully: "Pull a hair and move the whole body, Ah Lak, you have to think clearly before making a decision." ”

"Yes, I understand." Chen Baixiang reluctantly agreed, a large part of the reason why he dared to bet on the futures was because of Wang Zichuan's experience in making a fortune, and now even if he regrets it, it is too late to quit.

Wang Jin was confused and asked, "What are you talking about, why can't I understand?" ”

"It's nothing, Ah Chuan means that when "Truant Weilong" is released, the release plans of "Prison Storm" and "Three Heroes of the East" will be messed up, and the whole body will be affected." Chen Baixiang looked at Wang Jin with a smile, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

Wang Zichuan sighed secretly, Chen Baixiang's self-esteem is too strong, even his good friends are hidden, it seems that he is ready to break the boat, otherwise he should be raising money everywhere now, and trying to maintain it, every time the index drops a point, it will cost dozens of times the insurance money, if Chen Baixiang's insurance money exceeds the red line, he will be notified to forcibly close the position.

Wang Jin said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, the summer season is about to pass, students will start school, the number of moviegoers will definitely fall, Oriental Cinema will cancel the whole series of screenings, and "Prison Storm" and "Three Heroes of the East" can be released at the same time." ”

Wang Zichuan teased: "Isn't this beating yourself, whether it is "Prison Storm" or "Three Heroes of the East" wins, we are all disgraced." ”

Wang Jin was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought about this question, if "Three Heroes of the East" beat "Prison Storm" too badly, as the screenwriter of "Prison Storm", Ah Chuan would definitely have a dull face.

Chen Baixiang said: "During the day, "Prison Storm" will be screened, and "Three Heroes of the East" will be screened at night. ”

"Laat, that's good." Wang Jin gave Chen Baixiang a thumbs up and praised: "In the end, it is an expert, and it solved our big problem as soon as it was shot. ”

Wang Zichuan said with a smile: "According to what Alak said, it is best to increase the number of screenings, which was originally six screenings a day, and two to four more screenings. ”

Chen Baixiang worried: "Ten screenings are absolutely not good, working 24 hours a day, and employees definitely have opinions." ”

Wang Zichuan was stunned and explained: "Oriental cinemas are all over Hong Kong, and there are always some areas that need to be open 24 hours a day to meet the needs of movie fans. ”

"Let's give it a try." Chen Baixiang pondered for a moment, and the information of dozens of theaters in the Oriental Cinema Line came to his mind, and he said: "There are about eight such theaters. ”

Wang Zichuan instructed: "After you go back, you will first do a market research, analyze the detailed information, and learn more from foreign experience, Hong Kong cinemas need to be reformed." ”

Chen Baixiang praised: "This is a good idea, I will start this matter immediately after I go back." ”

Wang Jindao: "The world's latest and most advanced cinema chain is in the United States, and it is time for our projection equipment to be replaced, and many of the equipment are left over from the Dian era 20 years ago. ”

Wang Zichuan groaned: "I think the projection equipment needs to be replaced slowly, it's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, now the development of science and technology is too fast, let's replace a set, it won't take a few years, more advanced equipment will appear, one by one, the money we make is not enough to fill this bottomless pit." ”

Chen Baixiang said with a smile: "That's what I mean, first replace the oldest equipment in the theater." ”

"Replace the equipment of several leading theaters, this is the face of our Oriental theater." Wang Zichuan patted his thigh, gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money, there are four or five ordinary theaters on top of a leading theater, and this money is worth it." ”

Chen Baixiang pondered for a while and replied: "Then replace the equipment of the leading theater, and the replaced equipment can be reused or sold directly." ”

Wang Jin looked depressed, he couldn't say a word about such a topic. (To be continued......)
