Volume 1 Chapter 63 Buying People's Hearts

ATV's battle with the great god of wireless has attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong. So much so that in the following week, the Hong Kong media gave a lot of space to report on the two dragon and tiger fights. Whether in terms of public support or the attitude of the Hong Kong government, ATV does not have an advantage over the old giant wireless. Many New Asia employees, including Lin Xiaozhi, privately believe that Lin Baixin may want to make a big mistake on the issue of the 'exclusive broadcasting rights of the Seoul Olympics'.

After the arrival of the new week, as work took away a large number of adult audiences of "I'm Crazy for You", the brilliant box office that only lasted for two days for a short time saw a plummet.

Due to the good momentum shown by "I'm Crazy for Qing" over the weekend, several private cinemas came to the door to contact the screenings, and after adding a few screening theaters out of thin air, although the arrival of the working day caused the box office to decline, the total box office on Monday was 590,000, Tuesday's box office was 670,000, and Wednesday's box office was 630,000, and it did not fall below 600,000, but with the delivery of a beautiful photo album, the spread of word of mouth, The temptation of the two Asian sisters to appear in erotic films gradually stabilized the box office.

The box office reached 4.57 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week of release, which made New Asia cheer excitedly. In the 70s, a film in Hong Kong with an investment cost of one million yuan could recover its cost if it could reach 1.5 million at the box office. But with inflation, the surge in movie promotion expenses, and the increase in screening costs, it is now at least twice the cost of investment for a film to recoup its cost at the box office.

As a small-budget movie, the production cost of "I'm Crazy for the Emperor" is only about 2.5 million. New Asia and Debao signed an agreement on a minimum of two weeks of screening, and the box office of the film in the first week is close to recovering its costs, that is, the income from the screening from the second week is basically the box office dividend that the company can get.

As a small-budget movie, it only relies on the promotion in adult magazines, and sends celebrity photo albums to watch the movie, even the two hyped and very popular Asian sisters are not stars. However, relying on such a group of actors who want to be famous and not famous, and have no acting skills, and it is also a small-budget movie, it can reach more than 4 million at the box office in the first week of release. Just when these theater owners were hesitant to talk to "New Asia" about the release of "I'm Crazy for You", their box office data in the next few days really surprised them.

The box office of "Chicken and Duck" is still unstoppable, in fact, this movie that brings together the three heroes of the Xu family has now been considered by "Film Fortnightly" to be the biggest dark horse in this year's summer file. This movie, which has an investment of 7 million and 9 million in the other, has certainly not exceeded 10 million in short, and after more than 20 days of release, it has exceeded 20 million at the box office with an unstoppable momentum, and it still has a slight decrease in momentum and is charging towards 25 million. The newly-born Debao Cinema Line not only made a lot of money because of this, but also finally launched the signboard of 'Debao Cinema Line'.

Because of the publicity in place, Baye's "SWAT Dragon Slayer" was unexpectedly popular for a full week, and the box office in the first week of release was as high as more than 6 million, which was higher than "Chicken and Duck". But this movie is too ordinary, the movie is average, the actors are not portrayed in place, and the plot turns too quickly, and it is acceptable to make a few viewers think they are good people, but Liang Jiaren and Donnie Yen, who performed the most brilliantly in the whole movie and were faintly regarded as the protagonists by the audience, were killed one after another, and the eighth master's mistake can be said to have poked a hornet's nest, and the audience who has seen it is scolding her mother seven or eight times out of ten, and even the media have joined in the condemnation of director Yuan Heping, and the result is the second week of release, "SWAT Slaying the Dragon" The box office changed from the first week's heat, and the box office plummeted like a completely different movie, falling to 670,000 on the eighth day and 120,000 on the ninth day, which attracted the attention of Debao's senior management.

In stark contrast, "I'm Crazy for the Queen," which was released a day earlier, saw a strong box office rise in the second week. After the box office exceeded 700,000 Hong Kong dollars on the eighth day of release, the box office climbed in the next three days on Friday, Saturday and weekend, and the box office of 2.72 million was jointly won in three days.

Eleven days after its release, the box office of "I'm Crazy for You" finally exceeded 8 million, reaching 8.07 million.

A movie that only relies on the promotion of adult magazines and does not have any big-name stars to join, can achieve this result after more than ten days of screening, which really amazes the industry a little.

With such achievements, as the largest investor and the person in charge of promoting this film, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly took the following team to contact theaters everywhere to expand the release, while running the distribution and contacting the filling factory to prepare for the layout of the videotape market. The popularity of the box office of "I'm Crazy for You" has made Lin Xiaozhi's heart come alive, and wherever this movie can finally go, the box office will naturally be more and more for him.

"That's the end of today's promotional activities, thank you for your hard work, tomorrow morning we will go to three cinemas to cooperate with the lottery signing activity. Miss Ye and two Miss Qiu, you still have to be tired for two days!

In the lounge of a Debao cinema in the New Territories, Lin Xiaozhi clapped his palms and focused the eyes of a group of tired and panting eyes on himself.

Ye Yuqing rubbed her sour right hand, her eyebrows furrowed, and her jade face was worried, "Lin Shao, how much is left?" I've signed almost a thousand books in the past few days, and my hands are sore! ”

I don't know if Lu Dao took a dew photo for an adult magazine, so that she completely unveiled the knot in her heart or what, she has been dressing more and more boldly in recent times, and today's low-cut evening dress is already conservative. After saying that, she also patted her breasts, and there were a bunch of huge waves on her chest. The low-cut design of the evening dress couldn't cover the white tenderness on the chest at all, and it was impossible to see that several men in the room swallowed for a while, even Lin Xiaozhi felt a fire rising in his lower abdomen, and secretly cursed 'goblin', turned his gaze to the side and looked at Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru, who were wearing famous brands but looked conservative compared to Ye Yuqing and did not have any brilliance, but secretly praised this woman's intelligence in their hearts.

Yes, before the filming of "I'm Crazy for Qing", Lin Xiaozhi promised that the three female protagonists were allowed to use naked substitutions during filming, he was not the kind of unscrupulous filmmaker, if he didn't feel that the money came quickly from erotic films, and there was Ye Yuqing by his side, he would not choose to make erotic films at all, so he did not force the leading actors to go into battle in person to shoot passion scenes at the beginning. However, after Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru, the two leading actors, asked to use naked substitution, Ye Yuqing, who also didn't want to suffer losses, asked not to apply naked substitution, and all the passion scenes were played in person, and it became very bold to change the style.

It's the same when taking promotional swimsuit photos for "Fire Kirin", Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru behaved decently, and the maximum concession was just to take a few wet swimsuit photos, but Ye Yuqing had an amazing move, not only did she take a lot of photos, but she was the only actress among the three who took off her swimsuit, discussed with the photographer in person, blocked the sensitive parts of her body with a bouquet, and took fruit photos.

Is it really too bold?

No, no, no, Lin Xiaozhi doesn't think so. From this woman taking the initiative to seduce him to date, and then guiding him step by step to invest in making himself popular, to the current various connections. He was even more sure of this woman's cleverness and scheming, and almost every step of the way he had just thought of the plan, and she seemed to be able to think of how to use it to earn the greatest benefit for herself. For example, now, "I'm Crazy for Qing" is not the most popular movie in August in Hong Kong, or even the hottest movie in August of Debao Cinemas, but this woman has become the most memorable existence in the whole movie. If Lin Xiaozhi reaped the greatest benefits because of this movie, then it is no exaggeration to say that this woman took advantage of such a movie and gained the greatest fame.

Amazing!

Admiration is admiration, but Lin Xiaozhi doesn't like such a woman, her scheming is too heavy, not to mention, she dares to use any means in order to climb up, unless she wants to, ordinary men can't control it at all. Therefore, after the movie was released, although Ye Yuqing hinted several times to accompany him to bed, he pretended not to understand the hints. After losing the contract with ATV, Ye Yuqing desperately wanted to get a big contract, Lin Xiaozhi knew this very well, but he still didn't know how much Ye Yuqing wanted, so he kept dragging it out, just to wait for a while after the movie was painted to sharpen her sharpness before signing the contract.

Of course, thinking about it, she opened her mouth and found that all the sights fell on her, whether bright or dark, Lin Xiaozhi could only speak: "According to the speed of four per day, we still need about two and a half days." Of course, everyone has worked so hard lately, and I won't lose a lot of money. When the filming of the movie started, I promised that once the box office exceeded 8 million, I would take 1 million from the proceeds as a dividend reward to everyone. Here, I will restate once again that not only can the crew enjoy a box office dividend of one million, but the company employees who have been busy for the release of the movie during this period of time can also enjoy bi-monthly salaries, I have discussed this matter with Mr. Wang, even if he can't pass it, I will pay for it myself! ”

"Hooray!"

"Long live Director Lin!"

Laughing at the group of people hugging each other and cheering, Lin Xiaozhi just stood aside with his arms crossed and smiled and watched them laugh, and did not stop it. He is indeed short of money now, but he will not know what it means to buy people's hearts because of lack of money.

After staying in New Asia for a period of time, Lin Xiaozhi wanted to take this film company with the big tree of ATV into his own hands, because the resources that ATV could bring him were too generous. Lin Xiaozhi was already sensitively aware of the hostility of Wang Jia'an, the president of New Asia, and hastily appointed him as the CEO of New Asia, and allowed him to hold the advertising, distribution, and staff recruitment in his hands, but he only managed the finances was definitely the biggest mistake made by the Wang family.

With the identity of Lin Baixin's nephew, unless he made a big mistake, Wang Jiaan couldn't move him at all. And Qiu Degen is obviously a little dissatisfied with Wang Jia'an, and there is Zheng Zeshi, a shareholder, on the side, Lin Xiaozhi is keenly aware of Wang Jia'an's powerlessness in Xinya, although this Wang President was good to him at first, but the relationship between the two has cooled down rapidly recently, which has also made Lin Xiaozhi's mind begin to liven.

Xinya, it seems that it is not bad to change the leader!
