Chapter 166: A Peerless Gambling Saint at the Box Office
"Why don't you go over and greet us?" After Chen Baixiang learned about the specific arrival of the Japanese, he asked Li Le with a smile.
Li Le shook his head when he heard this, Li Le didn't have a very dislike for the Japanese, but he definitely didn't have a good impression. Not to mention the war between China and Japan, let's just say that in the future, Japan plundered assets in the land of China, Li Le did not like it. He smiled and said, "I won't go, you can just take care of the contract yourself." ”
Chen Baixiang smiled: "I also said that I am an angry youth!" You don't even see anyone now. After a pause, Chen Baixiang continued: "Don't worry, this time the other party comes to the door, I will definitely cut off a piece of meat on their body." Taiwan and Japan are the main overseas markets for Hong Kong films, and this time the gambling saint can be regarded as wrapping up the large Asian film market. ”
Li Le smiled and said, "Okay, let's be happy when the contract is ready!" Than don't forget. There are also markets in Asia, such as Singapore and South Korea! The gambling saint has really swept the whole of Asia, and that's the real joy. ”
"It would be even better if I could enter the mainland."
Listening to Chen Baixiang's sigh, Li Le shook his head and showed a wry smile. From where did Li Zifu get the news, Li Lezhi said that it would be difficult for the gambling saint to appear in the mainland film market in the near future. "I won't think about it for the time being when it is released in the mainland, I believe that there will be a chance for the gambling saint to be released in the mainland in the future."
Li Le feels that the gambling saint will not make much money when it is released in the mainland in the future, because he got the news from Li Renhui that Li Lezhi has made great progress in his VCD skills. In '91, it was possible to put it into practice. Li Le's arrangement for Li Renhui to go to the mainland was not just to open the Tianyi Television Factory. VCD is a big project, and Li Le also explained to Li Renhui. Li Le hopes that after the VCD technology is truly perfected, Tianyi Company will be able to acquire them.
Li Lezhi said that the emergence of VCD has seen a big boom in the market. In the mainland, there is one VCD for almost every three families, so you can imagine how big the VCD market is. VCD, followed by DVD, Zhidao computer has become popular in large numbers, which has had a strong impact on the market. Even so. The VCD and DVD market is still in the tens of billions of dollars.
Chen Baixiang didn't know that Li Le thought of so many things in the future. He looked at the time and said, "What do you say that we are all a country of etiquette, and foreign friends are here, so I should go and welcome them." Looking at Chen Baixiang's appearance, he knew that Chen Baixiang wanted to kill the Japanese. You must know that Lu Dao has just been a cinema dealer in Taiwan and Malaysia, and he did not personally go to welcome Oriental Entertainment.
"You're busy! I'll be gone. Li Le smiled. The company has nothing to do with him. Although the crew handed over to Wang Jing is relieved. But as a director. Li Le is also not good at leaving the entire crew like that.
At the gates of Oriental Entertainment. Chen Baixiang and his secretary greeted the Japanese cinema line, and several representatives of the Japanese cinema chain were very proud when they saw Chen Baixiang greet him in person. However, Li Le did not show up. One of them also said, "What about Mr. Li Le of your company?" We would love to have the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Li Le. ”
Chen Baixiang heard the Japanese side mention Li Le, and he said with an unchanged face: "Mr. Li Le has other affairs to deal with, he has no extra time and energy, and I have full authority to handle the release of the gambling saint overseas." Everyone, since you have arrived at our Oriental Entertainment, let's go first! ”
In his office, Li Lezhi said that after Chen Baixiang had introduced the Japanese into the office, he also left Oriental Entertainment.
Back at Sha Tin Middle School, Wang Jing paused filming after seeing Li Le. He didn't tell Li Le about the progress of the shooting, and directly asked about the cooperation between the gambling saint and other theaters. Li Le did not hide the contracts between Taiwan and Malaysia. After getting the good news from Li Le's mouth, Wang Jing also seemed very happy.
"Since you're back, you'll be the director yourself. To say that I have a lot of affairs, and when the movie is successful, you should give me a big red envelope. In less than half a day, Director Wang Jing asked Li Le for a red envelope.
Li Le said with a smile: "There are red envelopes, but you don't have a share, and you have to give out red envelopes." Don't forget, movies also have your investment. The movie is successful, you don't send red envelopes, and you still want to ask me. ”
Wang Jing depressedly remembered that "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" also has 10% of the final income, if the movie is really successful, as one of the bosses, he should indeed give everyone a red envelope. "You're a big boss, and you're exploiting us petty fighters."
Looking at Wang Jing's entangled appearance, Li Le said, "Okay, it's time to shoot." There are no red envelopes, but there are a lot of extra dramas. Or? Hearing Li Le's threat, Wang Jing was also much quieter.
Since the first signing of Li Leyou, Li Le has not shown up since signing contracts with Japan and other places.
Chen Baixiang's business ability is really good, and in a few days, he has signed contracts in several film markets outside the mainland.
Taiwan, Friendship Cinema Line, divided into 3.7
Japan, New Toho Co., Ltd., divided into 3.2 (Chen Baixiang is really ruthless, several overseas theaters are the lowest)
Malaysia, Malay cinema line, divided into 3.4
Singapore
Korea
……
In one region and another, after signing the contract, Chen Baixiang gave the copies to the cinemas as soon as possible. got a copy of the gambling saint, and several theaters that had contracts with Oriental Entertainment arranged for the gambling saint to be released in their local area as soon as possible.
Cinema operators are also in a hurry! The popularity of gambling in Hong Kong has spread the news to their local area. In the local fan group, they are very much looking forward to the release of the gambling saint in their region and country. In order to make money, theater operators don't release it as soon as possible after getting the copy.
The release of the gambling saint in other places, Oriental Entertainment said that it was fully handed over to the theater company that signed the contract.
The performance of the gambling saint in the field did not disappoint. When the gambling saint was released. In other regions and countries, it has also set off a frenzy of watching gambling saints like Hong Kong. The release of the gambling saint directly overshadowed the box office on the same day and reached the top, and in some places it also broke the single-day box office record and premiere record.
In the blink of an eye, it has been 20 days since the gambling saint was released in Hong Kong. The high box office has amazed many people. 42 million, in 20 days, the gambling saint has plundered 42 million in the Hong Kong film market. Looking at the gambling saint still alive, many people believe that the gambling saint can break the box office myth of 50 million.
The high box office of the gambling saint is amazing at the same time. It also reminds people of the gambling saint being suppressed before. Many people said in their hearts: "If only the gambling saint had not been suppressed by Run Run Shaw." The box office may be higher. Maybe in 20 days, it has already exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars. ”
The gambling saint is excellent in Hong Kong, and the box office results in other regions are also very good. The box office of Hong Kong's gambling saint has also been boosted by the box office results in other regions.
Gambling Saint Hong Kong was released for 20 days. Other regions have also been in theaters for a week. In all the film markets in Asia where the gambling saint is released. The box office champions of the week are all gambling saints. That's right. It is indeed a gambling saint.
In Taiwan, in the first week of the release of the gambling saint in Lianyi Cinema, Hao won a box office of 16.9 million Hong Kong dollars. Japan has the largest film market in Asia. It also made $6.2 million at the box office in its first week. If you convert it to Hong Kong dollars, it is already 3720 Hong Kong dollars. South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and one country after another are sweeping the box office.
In the first week of overseas release, the box office of all regions combined surpassed the 20-day box office performance in Hong Kong, reaching a score of 66.3 million Hong Kong dollars. The box office results of the gambling saint outside Hong Kong were reported to Hong Kong, and everyone was shocked.
The gambling saint was successfully released for 20 days, and the rest of the overseas was released for 7 days, and all the box office was added together. has a box office result of 108.1 million Hong Kong dollars, a movie with a total box office of over 100 million! Before the gambling saint, no movie could have the height of the gambling saint.
108.1 million Hong Kong dollars is not the final box office result of the gambling saint, you must know that the gambling saint is still alive in Hong Kong, and it has only been released overseas for a week. When the gambling saint is completely downgraded, looking at the box office form of the gambling saint, it is not impossible for the box office in Asia to exceed 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Except for Asia alone, the mainland market is likely to have a box office result of 200 million, so what if the gambling saint can be released in the mainland! That's not even higher at the box office.
Many people saw the box office results of the gambling saint Wushuang, and they also looked forward to it in their hearts. "The box office results of the gambling saint are so good, and there should be a good box office in Europe and the United States! I want to say that Oriental Entertainment should enter the film market in Europe and the United States, so that white people can also know the power of our Hong Kong films. ”
The gambling saint came to an end in Hong Kong, but the box office record was high, coupled with the courage of other overseas regions. In Hong Kong, it has once again set off a craze for gambling saints.
In the media, all that appeared was the praise of the gambling saint. The actors of the gambling saint, especially Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda, and Zhang Min, are also sought after by many film companies. The popularity of gambling saints has made many people think of following the trend. The salaries of several people are also rising.
The unparalleled results of the gambling saint have made many Hong Kong colleagues feel fearful in their hearts. Oriental Entertainment got such a high box office with a movie, they can already imagine the rise of Oriental Entertainment. Because of the results of the gambling saint, outsiders see that Oriental Entertainment is not short of money at all.
Oriental Entertainment will indeed not be short of money, as long as Li Le is willing to invest money. But Oriental Entertainment does not all belong to Li Le alone, and he can't say that he invests all the money, because as soon as he invests a lot of money, the shares in the hands of Wang Jing, Chen Baixiang and Run Run Shaw will be sharply diluted.
As the biggest beneficiary of the gambling saint, Li Le of course got the box office results of the gambling saint for the first time.
Seeing the domineering box office of the gambling saint in other overseas regions, Li Le couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it! The gambling saint is so popular with fans. ”
Of course, Li Le couldn't imagine that in his expectation of the box office of the gambling saint, there would be a box office of about 100 million at most. But from the current trend, Li Le can see that it is not impossible for the gambling saint to have a box office of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars. (To be continued......)
