On the day of the month, Debao's "Mr. Developed" was the first to land on the screen, and the box office of 10,000 on the first day and the poor reputation disappointed Debao's senior management.

“…… More than 20 movie theaters fully support the release every day, we arrange to the show, before the release of New Asia's "Color is Empty" on March 3, there are more than it, how can I count some other small and medium-sized cinemas that have been released now, and the box office has just passed 5 million? ”

On Sunday, March 5, Shum Jianxun rushed to Debao early in the morning and began to read the latest box office data sent below.

"It seems that it is a little difficult for this movie to make money in this port, Manager Wang, help me send me a copy of the latest box office data of Golden Harvest's "Dragons and Phoenixes".

"Okay, Mr. Cen, please wait a minute......"

Hanging up the phone, Cen Jianxun sighed. Since he had an awkward quarrel with Debao boss Pan Disheng over investment last year, he was arranged to come to the theater as the president soon after the establishment of Debao Cinemas, and Xian Qiran took over his position and continued to serve as the president of Debao.

"It seems that at this point, the number of Debao qi is exhausted......"

Cen Jianxun frowned, and watched the box office data of Debao's "Mr. Developed" again, and the disappointment in his heart became heavier and heavier.

As a veteran filmmaker, Shum Jianxun has been lobbying his boss Pan Disheng since the establishment of Debao Films, and invested more money in the company to make movies. However, the famous brand king Pan Disheng seems to be generous, but in fact he is stingy to death. The reason why he invested in Debao Films before was just to advertise the dozens of brands he owned, and he didn't really want to make movies. If it weren't for the fact that he had been in love with Debao female star Yang Ziqiong in the past two years, she had invested a lot of money in order to become popular, and I can't say if Debao would have the reputation of being one of the three major movie giants now. You must know that when Hung Jinbao was still in Debao a few years ago, in order to get more filming funds, he had the dilemma of crying poor with Pan Disheng just for one million.

Last year, after Pan Disheng married the beautiful girl Yang Ziqiong back home, Debao's life in the past year was very hard. Not only did he reduce his capital investment in making blockbusters, Pan Disheng even told him through Xian Qiran's mouth that Debao would not make movies with an investment of more than 10 million in the future, and later after his efforts, although Pan Disheng agreed to continue to make blockbusters with an investment of 10 million, he had to share the risk with other film companies. This is the highest-grossing "Family Carnival" this year, but it is an allusion to the joint investment of Debao and Xu's Pictures.

Throughout the second half of the year, in order to compete for the box office in the first half of this year, he proposed to make four blockbusters. But because he is no longer the president of Debao, this proposal was in the hands of Pan Disheng's henchman Xian Qiran, and it was immediately discounted. "Family Carnival", co-produced with Xu's Pictures, can barely be regarded as a blockbuster, but the remaining three films, "Rich and Rich" with an investment of more than 7 million are small-budget New Year films; "Mr. Developed" and "The Three Musketeers of Flowers" together have an investment of less than 10 million, and the quality of the script is also very average. Debao's move is equivalent to directly giving up the battle for the box office market in the first half of this year.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rang, interrupting his thoughts, and Cen Jianxun was just about to answer the phone, when he suddenly saw the fax machine start moving. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered that it was the theater that sent him the data he wanted, so he got up and walked over to take it and read it.

"Dragons and Phoenixes" is a film invested and filmed by Hung Jinbao's Baoxiang Pictures and distributed by Golden Harvest. Shum Jianxun and Hung Jinbao are old friends, they made many movies together back then, and the two were still partners when Debao was newly established, so the relationship was naturally very good. Picking up the data of "Dragons and Phoenixes", he was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Old friend, it seems that I am not as good as you in terms of knowing people, I am afraid that you have long expected that Pan Sheng does not really want to make movies." It's ridiculous that I was a few years late for you to understand...... How...... But ......"

He shook his head and sighed, he had been in Debao for so many years, and he had already regarded it as his own hard work. As long as there is the slightest hope, he is not willing to give up Debao and leave it like this.

"Dragons and Phoenixes" was released one day later than Debao's own "Mr. Developed", but the results were much better. "Mr. Developed" has been strongly promoted by the entire Debao Cinema Line, and now the box office is barely 5 million, and then look at "Dragons and Phoenixes", which was released a little later than them, to yesterday's latest box office data, it has been as high as 8.59 million, and judging from the current upward momentum, it will break through 10 million next week.

The investment of "The Three Musketeers of Huaxin" is less than that of "Mr. Developed", and the script is worse, remembering the arrogance that Pan Disheng said before about using it to snipe at Ruan, and arranged it to be released on the same day as "The Story of Ruan", Cen Jianxun could only shake his head and sigh, in the first half of this year, except for a co-production "Family Carnival", there is no doubt that Debao was wiped out.

"Huh"

With a light sigh in his mouth, Cen Jianxun was about to take the data fax of "Dragons and Phoenixes" to smash it. Suddenly, I realized that there was not just a piece of paper faxed over there, but two chapters. He opened the second chapter and took a look, and suddenly his ugly face became weird, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "What, yesterday's single-day box office of "Color is Empty" was 1.2 million, and almost every one of the eight theaters was full...... A tertiary film, this ......"

Rao is Cen Jianxun is an old filmmaker, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the single-day box office of Xinya Film Company's new tertiary film "Color is Empty" faxed over on the second fax paper.

"Could it be that the data is wrong?"

Thinking like this in his head, he immediately dialed the phone again: "Hey, Manager Wang, is there a mistake in the data of Xinya's "Color is Empty" that you just transmitted?" ”

"Can't be wrong, Mr. Cen. When the statistics came out just now, our side was also shocked, and the following theaters that are still showing "Mr. Developed" asked me if you can increase the copy of "Color is Empty", and then free up a few more shows for New Asia, just according to the standard of "Family Carnival" ......"

"This ......" Cen Jianxun hesitated, the main films screened by Debao Cinema now are only "Mr. Developed" and "Color is Empty", "Color is Empty" gets five high-quality screenings every day, although "Mr. Developed" is not very good, but after all, it is Debao's own people, and there are an average of three or four screenings every day. In order to increase the number of screenings of "Color is Empty", it will undoubtedly be necessary to cut the number of screenings of "Mr. Developed" and several other films that fill the film source.

Cen Jianxun thought for a while before saying: "Draw all the "Royal Flying Phoenix", "Tiger Heroes", and "Black Lost Wall" that are being released, and arrange all the scenes for "Color is Empty". This Xinya really has some strength, and several tertiary films are very popular......"

“…… It's good, Mr. Cen. After a quick answer on the phone, the voice hesitated for a moment, and then said as if he had a hard head: "Mr. Cen, the attendance rate of our "Mr. Developed" has not been more than 20% anyway, and the half-dead still occupies such high-quality resources, you see......"

Although Debao Cinema Line and Debao Film both belong to Debao Company, after all, they are two different branches, and Debao Cinema wants to make money, and Debao Cinema Line naturally wants to make money. Obviously, compared to the release of "Mr. Developed", which is not watched by many people, the theaters below are more willing to screen the lucrative and sought after "Color is Empty".

"Wait a little longer......" Cen Jianxun, as the president of Debao Cinema Line, still has a lot of concerns. He is now instigating Pan Desheng to pay for the purchase of Debao Cinema Line completely, and Pan Disheng has indeed loosened up recently, promising that as long as he can negotiate within 150 million, he will pay for it. The annual rental price of 35UU to Shaw Brothers is too high, and last year almost all of the gross profit they earned was given to Wireless. After deducting the rent to Shaw Brothers, Debao Cinema Line really didn't make much money in his hands last year, and it was only more than 10 million.

Cen Jianxun is already talking to Shao Yifu, Shao Yifu, who originally asked for 200 million, has indeed relented recently because of the challenge of ATV, and is ready to return funds to deal with the challenge of the strong rival ATV. At present, the price of the two sides has been discussed for 1670 million, and it seems that with more effort, this cinema chain can be bought, at this juncture, Cen Jianxun does not want to make Pan Disheng unhappy because of a movie, so he bought the proposition of Debao Cinema.

Manager Wang naturally didn't know what to say, but when he didn't want to have an unpleasant quarrel with Debao Movie, he immediately said: "Mr. Cen, you misunderstood what I meant." I mean, you really don't watch "Mr. Developed" now, why don't we streamline it and continue to release this movie, but reduce the number of screenings and free up the prime time for New Asia, do you think it's okay? Last year, Qiu's took most of our revenue, and many theaters below are waiting for money to update their equipment...... Several Shaw Brothers theaters are all equipment from the 60s, and the aging is seriously ......"

On the one hand, there is "Mr. Developed", which can't make money, and on the other hand, there is a new Asian work that has shown a big selling momentum, and the balance in Cen Jianxun's heart is actually unbalanced from the beginning. Manager Wang's words prompted him to make a decision. After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded: "Okay, you order, streamline some scenes for Xinya." But don't lose too much all at once......"

"Don't worry, we know what to do......"

Hanging up the phone, Cen Jianxun looked at the fax paper again, and muttered: "The box office on Friday is UU10,000, and it doubled directly yesterday, is the third-level film really so profitable?" ”

He hesitated for a while, picked up the phone and told the secretary that he was going to talk about business, and then left Debao and went to a movie theater below, ready to go over to see this new movie in person.

Released on Friday on the first day, the box office was only 600,000 and Lin Xiaozhi was not satisfied, and he was still waiting for "Color is Empty" to hand over a more satisfactory answer.

The filming of "Color is Emptiness" used the usual exaggerated techniques of nonsensical comedy, and the previous star master pushed nonsensical comedy to the whole world through his own success. In 89, because of the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth, nonsensical exaggerated comedy was born ahead of schedule, although "Color is Empty" is not a movie that is purely funny for the sake of being funny, but it is undeniable that many nonsensical comedy clips are the reason why this movie has left a deep impression on many audiences.

Sure enough, on Saturday, the second day of its release, the box office of "Color is Empty" skyrocketed, with a single-day box office of 1.47 million sweeping across Hong Kong, of which Debao Cinemas alone contributed 1.2 million to the box office, which shocked all movie theaters.

Over the weekend, the box office boom of the movie continued, and the box office of "Color is Empty", which has increased to 37 screening theaters, broke 1.5 million in a single day, and defeated "Four Thousand Gold" released at the same time by Golden Harvest with a box office of 1.59 million.

Then the arrival of Monday caused the box office to decline, falling to 920,000, but in the following four days, "Color is Empty" maintained a single-day box office of around one million a week, and it is still constantly refreshing the highest box office data of tertiary films, and the total box office easily exceeded '10 million' on the eighth day of release, with a total box office of 10.94 million, refreshing the record of the fastest third-level film with a box office of 10 million created by New Asia's last film "Can't Help It", which shocked the Hong Kong film industry.

Because his family was poor, P-year-old Zhang Mingsong was able to re-enter the school and start his university life after working for a few years to earn some money. He is rugged and strong, but because he is honest, people wonder if he is too stupid. Shortly after the start of the new semester of college, Zhang Mingsong participated in wrestling activities in the school club in addition to studying law. By chance, he met a member of the aerobics club and was immediately attracted by her sexy beauty. But after the O abortion, Ming Song still persevered by her side, and finally touched the heroine Princess O and her knight with true love......"

“…… Fengyue film? Who told me that this is a Fengyue film, let me tell you, this is an out-and-out tragicomedy of love, a touching and heartfelt tear-jerking movie

"I've been laughing for the first half of the game, there are too many places to ⊥ you laugh at the college villain, the fine X fried egg sandwich, the simulated doll, the hand X thief, and the younger brother who has been hit hard many times. But in the second half of the movie, I was sad, crying, and thinking, that used to be my most longing love and partner, but this movie made me start to reflect, and I suddenly realized that if I didn't see this movie, I might also go down the wrong path in the future, and pay a terrible price for it. ”

"Before this movie, I didn't know that Lu Dao had a rich family le, but his role as Zhang Mingsong made me fall in love with this artist......"

However, after watching "Color is Empty", I swear I fell in love with the sexy, strong and charming O Yuan Jieying again, she is so beautiful......"

"I heard that the rich kid is the director and screenwriter of this movie, I don't know if it's true or not......"
