It was completed before "I'm Crazy for You", and it completed post-production earlier, but the release time was two days later than it, which seems to make Zheng Zeshi uneasy, after all, the distribution department also asked him before whether the film would be handed over to them for release.

However, when Lin Xiaozhi asked him for a few premiere movie tickets, Zheng Zeshi also gave him some face, and directly gave him ten movie tickets.

Although the promotion of the two issues of "Fire Qilin" magazine on the 6th and 16th did not cost much money, the cooperation between New Asia and the magazine was limited to these two issues. In order to get a better publicity effect, Lin Xiaozhi still reluctantly took out 30,000 yuan from his pocket and bought the cover advertisement of the 26th issue of "Fire Qilin" magazine.

With the publicity of ""I'm Crazy for You" to be released on July 27 and "Buy a ticket to have a chance to win a beautiful celebrity photo album", in just one day, the theater under the name of Debao received more than 4,000 telephone appointments, combined with more than 1,000 reservations received in the first two days, and the telephone reservation tickets sold three days before the release have exceeded 5,000.

This year's Debao Cinema is newly launched, and the summer file is undoubtedly an instant hit publicity opportunity, but unfortunately this year's Debao has not prepared many movies in the summer file, except for a "SWAT Dragon Slayer" directed by Yuan Heping, the others are scum. is this "SWAT Dragon Slayer", Debao Cinema itself has no confidence, if it were not directed by the eighth master Yuan Heping, it would not have been released in the summer at all. The starring Donnie Yen is still a nobody at this time, Ren Dahua is not famous at all, and the singer Zhang Xueyou has just debuted at this time, at this time it is the period when Principal Tan and his brother Zhang Guorong are competing for dominance in the music world, he can only be regarded as a newcomer in the music world, Wen Bixia is unknown, Wu Mengda is a professional supporting role, and the only starring actors in the whole movie who have a little box office appeal are Zheng Yuling and Liang Jiaren, and there are not many scenes. So much so that not only the senior management of Debao was not optimistic about the box office of this movie, but even Lin Xiaozhi ignored that there was such a movie before.

"SWAT Dragon Slayer" was arranged by Debao to be released on July 28, one day later than the release of "I'm Crazy for Qing", counting the several theaters that Debao has now acquired, a total of 19 theaters and theaters. Unfortunately, there are only four theaters with more than two screening halls. Therefore, Debao continued some of the divisions of the Shaw Brothers period, starting from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., dividing the daily screening period into four periods: morning screening, afternoon screening, prime screening, and midnight screening, each of which could show two films.

New Asia only got a midnight show from Debao, as well as a morning show and a prime show in four theaters with multiple screens, and the rest of the screenings were used to arrange the release of Depo's other films, such as "SWAT Dragon Slayer". As a film invested by Debao, although Debao's senior management is not optimistic about the box office of this film with a total investment of more than 7 million, some people even think that the eighth master is old, and the eighth master, who was able to shoot "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist", can no longer keep up with the development of the Hong Kong film market and the changes in the audience's preferences. However, under the strong push of the film producer, who is also the executive director of Debao, Xian Qiran, it still received a strong push from Debao. In the four sessions and eight screenings, it not only won the best golden screening, but even got a screening opportunity in the morning and afternoon.

Of course, the number of shows is not static, if the box office of "I'm Crazy for Qing" can be more popular than "SWAT Dragon Slayer", it is inevitable to get resource tilt.

On July 27, in an anxious wait, the day soon came.

Liu Dajun got up early today, and he has hardly asked the company for a vacation since he went to work, and he only used an excuse for a severe cold to take a day off from the company.

"Mom, I'm going to work!"

Hurriedly had some breakfast at home, Liu Dajun pretended to be the same as usual, their company has always been at work at nine o'clock, so it was more than eight o'clock before leaving home.

When the bus stopped at a station in Kowloon, he almost flew off the bus and went straight to a Debao cinema a few blocks away from the bus stop.

“…… Sir, which movie ticket do you want to buy? ”

At the ticket counter, the ticket clerk asked politely, and handed Liu Dajun a list of films full of screenings for the next three days. The cinema, called 'Jinsheng', is the only cinema in the former Shaw Brothers Cinema Line with three screens, which can show three different films at the same time. In Hong Kong, there are only a handful of cinemas with three screens.

Liu Dajun took the movie catalog and took a look, and sure enough, he saw that the source of films in this cinema was much richer than that of other cinemas, and you could see four movies in the morning only: "Chicken and Duck", "Mr. Evil", "Courtship Death Squad" and "I'm Crazy for Qing".

He didn't hesitate, he took out his wallet directly and said, "Give me a movie ticket for "I'm Crazy for Qing"!" ”

The conductor glanced at him, then bowed his head again and said, "Sir, the Consumer Council (Consumer Council) of this movie suggests that you need to register your ID card before you can buy tickets, in order to avoid disputes, please cooperate." ”

Hong Kong has been under British rule for many years, and its political system is almost the same as that of the United Kingdom, so don't look at the Consumer Council as a non-governmental organization, but its influence is very huge, they not only have the power to supervise the sales price of goods in various shopping malls, protect consumer rights, but also supervise the screening of films. The past few years have been the most chaotic period in the Hong Kong film industry, the film classification system has not yet come out, and the community has begun to invade the film industry, which will be full of blood, violence, and sex. After several joint boycotts, the Film and Television Department and the Consumer Council organized a team to review and supervise the screening of films that were not suitable for mass communication. Of course, the main means is to lobby the institute to strengthen management, not to enforce it.

Liu Dajun often watches some adult-oriented movies, so he knows a lot about them. Immediately, he took out his ID card, bought a movie ticket after registration, paid the money and was about to enter the theater to watch the movie, but stopped the conductor.

"Sir, this movie is doing activities, you can go to the 'New Asia Film Office' over there with your movie ticket to claim the prize, and there is a one-in-one chance of winning!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to a corner of the ticket hall not far away, Liu Dajun followed his finger and looked over there, only to see two people sitting at a table in the corner, next to which were full of books wrapped in waterproof kraft paper, and there were two signs on the table: "New Asia Film Production Company" and "I'm Crazy for Qing" Award Office. His eyes lit up, and after taking the movie ticket, he thanked him and walked over quickly.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Because it was Thursday, everyone was still at work, and there were hardly any audiences coming to the theater early in the morning. Lin Xiaozhi was sitting bored reading the newspaper in Jinsheng, when he suddenly heard footsteps, looked up, and found a young man with an unattractive appearance walking over with a movie ticket. Lin Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he didn't need another new Asian worker next to him to greet him, so he raised his head and asked in a harmonious voice.

On the first day of the release of "I'm Crazy", a total of ten cinemas and theaters were screened at the same time, of which five were screened by the theaters under Qiu Degen's name, which shows that there is no cinema chain of its own, and it is indeed controlled by others everywhere. Since the movie was released in theaters, Lin Xiaozhi has arranged for someone to keep an eye on it there, on the one hand, to distribute prizes to the audience who won the movie ticket, and on the other hand, to keep an eye on the box office of the movie. After all, Debao Cinema Line is not New Asia's own industry, and it is difficult for Lin Xiaozhi to get first-hand box office statistics from it for the first time.

The man obviously hesitated, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "I just bought your movie ticket, can I really win the lottery?" ”

"It's natural, please take out the movie ticket and record it for us, sir." Lin Xiaozhi responded in harmony, and saw a few young people who bought tickets and were ready to watch the movie at the ticket office not far away, and immediately gave another person next to him a look.

In '88, the real personal computer has only been born for a few years, and computers are now a high-tech technology that is unfamiliar to the public in the United States, let alone in Hong Kong. Nowadays, Hong Kong cinemas have not yet introduced a computer system, so it is not so easy for movie tickets to randomly select the list of winners like later generations, and it is almost entirely up to Lin Xiaozhi and himself to decide the winning list.

Seeing him make a look, the New Asia staff next to him who had been explained by him understood, asked Liu Dajun for a movie ticket, took out a notebook and looked at the number code on it for a while, then looked up with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to your husband, your movie ticket won the lottery." You can get a randomly printed celebrity photo book, which one do you need? ”

After that, he took out a beautifully printed photo book from the three stacks of waterproof kraft paper bags and placed it on the table in front of him, and asked loudly.

His voice was loud enough, and several people at the ticket office who seemed to be about to buy tickets also heard the conversation, and they all looked sideways to see it, and even one who seemed to like to join in the fun, and walked over directly.

"What? Did you really win the lottery? Liu Dajun looked happy, he didn't expect that he would come over at random and really win the prize. Looking at the printing of these three photo albums is also serious, even if you take out the photo book and sell it, I am afraid that the price is not much cheaper than ordinary magazines, so it seems that his movie ticket is really worth it.

"This ...... Can I look it up? ”

His eyes swept over the photo album printed with Ye Yuqing, Qiu Yuru, and Qiu Yueqing scratching their heads and posing on the cover of swimsuit photos, and Liu Dajun was a little uncertain. He wants all three photo books, but he can only get one according to the rules when he wins the lottery, not to mention how depressed he is.

"Of course this is not going to work, sir. This is not in line with our rules! ”

"Then ......" Liu Dajun hesitated for a while, and finally pointed to Ye Yuqing's book in the middle, "I want this one!" ”

No wonder he would choose Ye Yuqing, among the three daughters, Ye Yuqing's photo album is thicker than the other two, her style is the most bold, and when she took photos with "Fire Kirin", she was also the most daring to show her heart, and she gathered some popularity.

"Give!"

Taking the magazine from the hands of the New Asia staff, Liu Dajun glanced at the time on his watch, there were still a few minutes before the first screening, he didn't rush in, he just stood there and looked through it, and even the young man who came from the ticket office came over to hook his head to look with him, and he didn't notice it, until the young man raised his voice and shouted: "It's exciting, this girl is in a great body......" He closed the book vigilantly, and people woke up from the photos in the photo album that had not been published in the "Fire Qilin" magazine. hurriedly put the photo album under his ribs, and walked to the screening hall with the ticket.

"Oh, don't go, dude......"

Seeing that Liu Dajun left without looking back, the young man turned around unhappily, and saw Lin Xiaozhi and the two sitting there, so he came over curiously and asked, "Brother, how do you sell these books?" ”

"These are not for sale, sir. "I'm Crazy for You" is doing activities for us at New Asia Films, you just need to go there and buy a movie ticket for "I'm Crazy for You", you can take it to redeem the prize, and there is a one-third chance that you can get a beautiful star photo album we have prepared for you! Lin Xiaozhi saw that several people were coming over here, and suddenly there was a smile on his face, and he introduced him loudly.

"Wait for me, I'll go buy a ticket!"

When the young man heard this, he immediately took out a banknote from his body with a strange scream, and ran to the ticket office, "Give me a movie ticket for "I'm Crazy for Qing......"
