Volume 1 Chapter 132 First Day Box Office

"Congratulations"

The movie ended for a while, the audience in the screening hall gradually dispersed, Lin Jianming stood up and stretched his waist, this movie was just a smile for him to watch, and he was really not moved. First, he is too old, and secondly, he has played with countless women, and his identity is different, so he naturally does not have that sense of substitution, and he can't understand the kind of emotion in the movie. However, he also has some vision, after all, he had been in charge of sales and marketing for a period of time in Lai Sun Group, and only after seeing that many audiences were so enthusiastic and addicted to the plot, he knew that this movie was a success.

"Thank you"

Lin Xiaozhi accepted his congratulations with a smile, and looked around the audience, at this time, the movie had been played, but there were only a few audiences left in the theater and had not left immediately. There are men and women, some of them are afraid of being laughed at because they have red eyes because they have just cried, and some of them have made up their faces when they wiped their tears just now, and they are now preparing to remedy it. However, there are also some viewers who may not know each other before, because most of the people watching the movie are young people, and they chatted nearby.

"Color is Empty" is undoubtedly a success, any erotic drama is just a topic of hype, in the nonsensical style of exaggerated comedy, in front of the male protagonist's deep affection, people who have watched this movie will no longer remember any passion scenes, even those salty wet guys who came specifically to watch the Fengyue shots, they have to admit that when on the screen, the hero and heroine clasped their hands together and jumped down, and when they saw the pair of sparkling love rings, their hearts were also thoughtful

“…… How could there be a fool like Zhang Mingsong in the world......"

"Mingsong is not stupid, he is just too honest......"

"If you want me to say that O is unreliable, women are like this nowadays, and those who are a little bit of posture can't wait to find a handsome, cool and rich son of a wealthy family, hmph, I thought of those who silently guarded her and loved her after suffering a loss......"

"Is college life so exciting? I knew that if I worked a little harder in the seventh year of secondary school, I wouldn't have missed such a beautiful memory......"

Before Xing Ye appeared, Hong Kong was still stuck in the 89 years of traditional comedy films with a hard style like Hung Jinbao, Cheng Long, and the Hui brothers. The nonsensical exaggerated comedy style has conquered many audiences. Of course, more people are still attracted by the sudden change in the second half of the deep plot, the cruel youth love that makes people laugh and cry, "Color is Empty" deserves it

Lin Xiaozhi did not rush out of the theater, and stood there quietly for a while, listening to the audience's discussion, a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt in his previous life and this life filled his body. This feeling is so wonderful that even if he relied on various prophets and a little luck, he had never felt it when he had made 30 million yuan one after another. The films you direct can attract the audience, make the audience enthusiastic about discussion, and can easily grasp the emotions and wills of others. The word director, what a great magic it is

Lin Jianming had been standing quietly beside him, and he didn't mean to disturb him from beginning to end. After a long time, the audience in the theater basically walked out of the screening hall, and the staff came in to clean up, so he cleaned up his mood and apologized to Lin Jianming.

However, the box office situation on the first day of the film has already attracted someone's full energy, and the day is destined to be a tasty meal for him. After lunch, Lin Jianming was sent away, Lin Xiaozhi continued to plan according to his previous plan, spent all the time in the theater for the day, went to five movie theaters successively, watched five shows of "Color is Empty", and basically knew the popularity of the movie on the first day.

The popularity of the first movie should be the worst, and it is at work time at ten o'clock in the morning. The popularity of the noon scene seems to be growing, and the attendance rate of the theater he went to is almost sixty percent, which is a good figure. I watched two in the afternoon, which was not high. It wasn't until the arrival of the golden field that the attendance rate of "Color is Empty" exceeded eighty percent for the first time. Judging from the few scenes he has personally experienced, the box office of "Color is Empty", which has been fully supported by Debao Cinemas, should not be bad on the first day.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaozhi came to the company very early, but he came early, and someone was earlier than him.

When Lin Xiaozhi pushed open the door and walked into the office of New Asia, he found that Zheng Fei and Zhu Zhishan had already come to the company, and they were sitting together at this time, as if they were arguing about something

"It's been early this year."

Lin Xiaozhi was curious, glanced at the time, it was just half past seven, and walked over to find out what they were arguing about

"Mr. Lin is early, ......"

“……”

Finding that it was Lin Xiaozhi who came, the two men who were also sullen stood up together, although they both said hello to Lin Xiaozhi, but their faces were not very good, and when the two looked at each other, they faintly saw anger.

"You're all early, too"

Lin Xiaozhi put the briefcase he was carrying on the desk next to him, and walked over with a smile: "What's the matter, it's such a heavy smell of gunpowder early in the morning."

"Mr. Lin"

Zheng Fei was asked by him, stood up from his seat with a bang, held a newspaper in his hand, and said, "It's not these newspapers and periodicals, will they die if they don't find fault every day?" ”

Zheng Fei was full of anger, grabbed the newspaper in front of him with a calm face and handed it to him, "Mr. Lin, look, our movie was just released yesterday, and I bought a copy of "Oriental Daily" when I came to work this morning. ”

Needless to say, this person who said it was a good thing is Zhu Zhishan.

Seeing that he was so angry, Lin Xiaozhi glanced at Zheng Fei, who was usually very mild-tempered, with some surprise, and silently took the copy of "Oriental Daily" and read it

In 89, the "Oriental Daily" has become the largest circulation newspaper in Hong Kong, but compared with its more and more extensive current affairs edition, the entertainment edition of the "Oriental Daily" has always been known for its "strange content, fresh, fast, relying on the news channels of the Oriental newspaper covering the whole of Hong Kong, its entertainment version of many news is faster than other newspapers, but at the same time, this also means that many of their so-called entertainment news are linked to the failure to confirm, to put it bluntly, it is gossip.

As soon as he heard that it was the "Oriental Daily" that seemed to have published some news that was unfavorable to New Asia, Lin Xiaozhi was not surprised. For the sake of sales, this newspaper did not dare to report any news, and there was a reason why Hong Kong was completely blocked by the mainland after its return. But he did wonder what kind of news could make the two quarrel.

A quick flip through the current affairs page, except for a few news reports on the northern continent, there is no other news worth paying attention to. Looking further back, he turned to the entertainment version, and he realized why the two had such a good quarrel

""Color is Empty" is a clumsy and ridiculously bad movie that sells the topic of wind and moon in order to get the box office"

There is such a film review in the lower right corner of the homepage of the entertainment version, and when I saw the film critic's signature, 'Song Bingshu,,Lin Xiaozhi's brows furrowed slightly.

“…… When Xinya was promoting, it was hyped that the script of the film was written by their young president from a wealthy family, but I didn't believe it at first, but I just thought it was hype. But after watching this movie yesterday, I finally determined that this boring and uninteresting movie is probably indeed from him......"

"The content of the movie is superficial and boring, the screenwriter and director tried their best to put together some childish and ridiculous jokes, and even did not hesitate to use the topic ......of Fengyue to attract the audience, the most unacceptable thing is that it should be made by piling up clumsy jokes to have a sensational effect at the end of the worst, and it is full of ticket production."

"In the author's opinion, the only bright spot in the whole movie is probably the young president who is both a screenwriter and a director, who personally stripped off and shot several 'hand-to-hand fights, battles...... If all the universities and students in reality had this quality, I am afraid that Hong Kong would have perished long ago without waiting for it to be handed over to the mainland......

A film review of Chi Guoguo's slap in the face, no wonder Zheng Fei was so angry. Because of Lin Xiaozhi's attention, almost all the resources of the entire company have been put into publicity, and Zheng Fei is responsible for the management of the company's publicity channels, which has been particularly hard recently. In Hong Kong, you have to contact Debao Cinemas and those private theaters for distribution. Not long ago, he was also sent by Lin Xiaozhi to Taiwan and Macao to contact the issuance, and a few days ago Lin Xiaozhi even told him that he was going to go to South Korea in a few days.

Now in the entire ATV, if you want to say that Lin Xiaozhi single-handedly created "Color is Empty" and made great contributions, then he Zheng Fei is the one who has done the most hard work for this movie, and the credit is still above Ye Weixin. It's no wonder that Zhu Zhishan disagreed before, thinking that it was a good thing for "Oriental Daily" to help continue to hype their movie, Zheng Fei would be so angry.

“…… Mr. Lin, I really didn't say it wrong. I admit that the film reviews of "Oriental Daily" are pure shit, but after the movie was released, we in Xinya have basically stopped publicity, and now we need their media to help hype up the popularity. It "Oriental Daily" said that we are not good, this newspaper covers the whole of Hong Kong, hundreds of thousands of people will buy and watch it every day, and there are always some people who are interested in buying tickets to go to the theater to watch the movie, I think this is a good thing......"

What Zhu Zhishan said is indeed reasonable

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and shook his head, "Whatever you two are arguing about, what you say is reasonable." Zheng Fei, don't take Xiao Zhu's words to heart, if you want to publicize and become famous, don't be afraid of being scolded by others, "Oriental Daily" loves hype, let them fry and let them scold......"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, but only then did he notice that the headline of today's entertainment section turned out to be the movie that was about to land on the Golden Harvest Cinema - "Four Thousand Gold"

If you want to talk about the movie "Four Thousand Gold", there is really no strength and influence on the front page of the entertainment edition of "Oriental Daily", but there is a handsome actor named in this movie, this handsome guy who jumped from ATV at the end of last year has a rich father. Knowing that his son's movie was about to be released, it is said that Li's father spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy the front page of the entertainment edition of "Oriental Daily" for a full week, and advertised his new movie in the name of it.

Whether this news is true or not, Lin Xiaozhi really doesn't know, but "Oriental Daily" has indeed given Li Ming and his new movie "Four Thousand Gold" a week's entertainment version of the homepage for publicity.

"Alright, let's all disperse. You're both discouraged, it's really not worth tossing yourself over this little thing. Zheng Fei, I was going to let you lead the team to South Korea, but after thinking about it carefully, I think it was too hasty, so let's wait for the box office to come out two days after tomorrow, you will first take the translator to South Korea to explore the way and see if you can contact any local Korean partners...... Xiao Zhu, you also have a life. "Oriental Daily" attacked us like this, and it is not okay not to teach them a lesson. You go to contact other newspapers in the afternoon and reveal that New Asia is going to sue Oriental Daily for allegedly defaming our film company......"

When Zheng Fei heard that he was going to be sent to South Korea to explore the way, his face was bitter, not to mention that Xinya had no channels in South Korea, and even ATV didn't necessarily have any partners on the Korean Peninsula.

Hearing that Lin Xiaozhi was going to sue "Oriental Daily", Zhu Zhishan's face was stunned, and then changed color. But just as he was about to speak, Lin Xiaozhi saw that there was something wrong on his face, shook his head and said, "Don't think about it, Xinya didn't mean to sue them, just let out the rumors......"

Oriental Press is one of the top media outlets in Hong Kong and the uncrowned king of Hong Kong's public opinion circles. Now Xinya is okay with the "Oriental Daily", but if it really wants to get up with real guns, it will anger the Oriental newspaper industry, and there will be one less propaganda channel in the future.

Haosheng comforted the two, and then he picked up his bag and went into his office.

The data of the box office on the first day is long overdue, because the current Hong Kong box office statistics have not yet been networked like in later generations, and the tickets sold by each theater are printed by hand, which is more troublesome to count. Debao Cinema Line was still ordered by President Cen Jianxun himself, and as a result, each theater began to count at 7 o'clock in the morning the next day, and the data was not counted until more than 9 o'clock.

On the first day of "Color is Empty", more than 24,000 movie tickets were sold in more than 20 theaters of Debao Cinema Line, and the box office on Friday exceeded 600,000 Hong Kong dollars based on the price of a movie in "Color is Empty". Although I was a little disappointed that I didn't have an explosive start at the box office, this figure was probably within Lin Xiaozhi's expectations.

After learning the box office data, Lin Xiaozhi immediately conveyed the box office situation on the first day to those who were waiting.

"Ashin, the box office is out on the first day. The results are not bad, the box office exceeded 600,000, which is considered to have passed the passing line"

Ye Weixin recovered well, he had been discharged from the hospital in advance at the end of February and went home to recuperate, as one of the two directors of the movie "Color is Empty", more than half of the first scenes were filmed by him, there is no doubt that he is one of the people who care most about the results of this work.

"Ahem...... Lin Sheng, the box office on the first day is 600,000? On the other side of the phone, because he was too excited, Ye Weixin coughed for a while before finishing his question.

"You can recuperate at home with peace of mind, today is Saturday and tomorrow is the weekend, these two days are the key to really determining whether our movie can be popular or not. I will tell you the box office statistics at any time, in short, you have a good rest first, take care of your body and then go back to the company, and the company will have movies waiting for you to shoot in the future. ”
