"Brother Sun, what do you think of "Home Alone" repeatedly breaking the single-day box office record in Hong Kong?"

"Hehe, except for happiness, it doesn't seem to have any special feelings, in fact, this record has moisture."

Of course, there is water, Hong Kong has always been an alliance between film companies and cinema chains, and major cinema chains have a certain tendency in choosing films for screening. This time, "Home Alone" can repeatedly create box office miracles, and its release scale accounts for nearly 2/5 of the theaters in Hong Kong.

"The junior brother is humble".

is indeed a bit modest, Jiahe Cinema Line has always been a dominant force, hasn't it created such a box office miracle?

The journalist's name is Luo Hui, a classmate of Wang Jing, who currently works for Ming Pao. Sun Ziming is also about to enter the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the two are also future alumni.

The two exchanged views on the movie itself amicably, and Sun Ziming also expressed his views euphemistically. The sequel to "A Scheme" is a good movie in its own right, and it will lead the trend of Hong Kong cinema towards big productions.

Of course, its own shortcomings cannot be ignored, and the most important thing is that Cheng Long used the influence of his superstar to forcibly steal the director's work, and the most unfortunate story caused by the lack of compactness and smoothness, in terms of narrative ability, it is far less exciting than the first part.

This is also what Sun Ziming didn't expect, and now Cheng Long is actually starting to rush to be a director. He also went to Jiahe's theater to see this movie that was different from the 'original', except for a few stunts, nothing else!

There is also a problem, which is also to cover up the reality that Hong Kong audiences do not have many opportunities to contact foreign films, and the actors of "A Plan Sequel" are overpaid, resulting in the scene not being real and shocking enough.

"Senior, in my opinion, it is best to link the remuneration of an actor to the box office of the movie. For example, we can adopt a certain percentage of the box office sharing model, and the actors and producers share the risk."

Luo Hui nodded and agreed, the salary of "A Plan Sequel" is 2 million for a single journey, plus a bunch of big and small stars, the total salary is more than 4 million. said that it was an investment of 12 million, but in fact it was only 6 million, what effect can be achieved by using a cost of 2 million to make a movie known as a 'big scene'?

As soon as Luo Hui's interview ended, Li Jiaxin excitedly came in with yesterday's box office statistics table.

"Senior Luo is good".

The stunning face like a fairy, and the coquettishness of smiling like a flower, made Luo Hui and Sun Ziming, who had seen a lot of beauties, slightly distracted.

"You are?"

"I am Li Jiaxin, a second-year student at the Academy of Arts, and now I am helping Director Sun as an assistant."

Sun Ziming took the report, smiling bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what Juanzi thought. even agreed to let this girl come to her for a summer job, she was really so relieved of herself?

With the addition of several small theaters, "Home Alone" reached 2.18 million at the box office yesterday, once again setting a new single-day box office record in Hong Kong, which means that all theaters are full.

"What about the sequel to "A Plan"?"

Li Jiaxin's face flushed, and she snorted: "I can't inquire, I went to a few theaters, and the attendance rate was less than 70% at the highest, and I heard that it was only 50% at the lowest."

Seeing Li Jiaxin like this, Luo Hui mistakenly thought that there was some ambiguity between the two, patted Sun Ziming's shoulder and turned around and went out.

Sending Luo Hui away, Sun Ziming returned to the office, his hands began to tremble slightly, closed the office door, sat on the sofa and looked at the report and began to be stunned.

Unlike last time, which was to give half of the proceeds to others, the money earned from this movie will be all their own. Moreover, the Hong Kong people of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" are curious about Lin Guoyun's case, and it may not be the same big hit if it is replaced by a foreign city!

2.18 million in a single day, and the total box office is very likely to reach more than 40 million. This "Home Alone" is suitable for all ages, since Hong Kong can sell well, then the foreign market is not far behind. Maybe in a month or two, you will really become a billionaire!

……

A week later, the box office of "Home Alone" exceeded 20 million, and the single-day box office dropped to 1.98 million, the attendance rate continued to maintain at 91%, and the night show continued to be full. "A Plan Sequel" will also break through the 9 million mark, which can be regarded as a continuation of Cheng Long's tradition of tens of millions of box office.

At this point in the box office competition between the two sides, Aunt Fang resumed the generosity of the victor and began to praise the grandeur of the scene of "A Plan Sequel". Jiahe also has the demeanor of a loser, and Zou Daheng was interviewed in front of the Jiahe Cinema in Dunley Road, and warmly congratulated "Home Alone".

"Mr. Sun Ziming is indeed a genius, I have never seen such a wonderful comedy movie, and today my family had a happy evening. Mr. Xie Lu and Mr. Xie Sun contributed such a wonderful feast of joy to me and my family! ”

With a 'snap', Uncle Shao turned off the TV, turned his head and said to his aunt: "Yihua, that young man is really good!" Is it possible to let him come and make a film for us? We can give him a stake in the company."

Aunt Fang pondered for a long time and shook her head with a wry smile, Zeng Xiang had already said it very clearly. That Sun Ziming is an ambitious guy who wants him to help the company make films? Don't even think about it!

If Shaw Brothers doesn't schedule films for him, he will not hesitate to cooperate with Jiahe and Princess Jin. Moreover, Director Xian of the office has instructed Yindu to vigorously support it, after all, they are the family that breaks bones and tendons!

"Yes, this is a genius, but unfortunately it is a genius that cannot be used by me!"

Uncle Shao Liu also sighed, if he had such talent, it would be impossible for him to be behind others, not to mention that people have soared into the sky, and there is no shortage of his own twenty-four theaters to schedule films.

Uncle Shao and the two were secretly sighing that they couldn't recruit their grandson to their command, and the 'light and shadow' side was already boiling.

"Ziming, Ziming".

Uncle Zeng rushed into the office excitedly, only to find that there were only Liu Weiqiang and a familiar foreigner.

"Wei Qiang, where is Ziming?"

"I'm going to Ah Mei's rehearsal site, Uncle Zeng, this is Mr. Christopher Doyle, the cameraman we invited for "The Story of Ah Lang". Mr. Du, this is Mr. Zeng Xiang, the person in charge of our studio."

"Hello (hello)".

Uncle Zeng shook hands with Christopher Doyle and said hello while sighing at the world. Half a month ago, he and Ziming personally visited the door and offered a reward of 200,000 yuan, but they politely refused. Now Liu Weiqiang made a phone call, and people came to the door by themselves. Aunt Fang is right, in this circle, strength is the fundamental, no one is easy!

Liu Weiqiang knew that Lao Du had rejected Uncle Zeng and them at the beginning, and after the two sides signed the agreement and sent Lao Du away, he helped his teacher explain. Last time, Lao Du refused because he wanted to open a camera training class, but now he can't do it, so he agreed to come.

"Training class? Wait, it seems that Zi Ming mentioned it, when he was auditing at the film school, what did we say? ”

Uncle Zeng recalled it bitterly, but he still didn't remember it, but he remembered that after coming to Hong Kong, Zhang Hong also said that it was a big deal.

"Let's go, let's go to the scene to find Ziming. Zhang Hong also said that this is a big deal, why can't I remember it? ”

The two locked the drawer and got up to go out, and outside the door, Uncle Zeng confessed to his assistant two sentences, and then followed Liu Weiqiang to find Sun Ziming.

"Why did that beautiful girl come to our company?"

"Ziming asked me to invite it, saying that it was a work-study summer job, which is probably Li Jiaming's idea. Whatever, it's only 2,000 yuan a month anyway, it's cheaper than hiring someone else."

"Oh".

Liu Weiqiang didn't think much about it, Hong Kong is originally a society that attaches equal importance to business and human feelings, not to mention that this beautiful girl can also improve the company's image in the company.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, Li Jiaxin was waiting for them.

"Uncle Zeng, Brother Ming said that he would come back later."

Uncle Zeng glanced at this beautiful girl strangely, and he didn't expect that she was not only beautiful, but also quite thoughtful. The two returned to the office, sat on the sofa and continued to wait, Li Jiaxin poured two more cups of tea for the two, and then smiled and went out.

Half an hour later, Sun Ziming returned to the office. After listening to Uncle Zeng's question, Sun Ziming also remembered what he said at the beginning, there was such a thing. When I was an auditor at the film school, a group of classmates lamented the backwardness of mainland films. At that time, he proposed an idea to let the mainland's behind-the-scenes technicians come to Hong Kong for further study, which made the students laugh for a while, saying that it was a pipe dream.

Later, when I came to Hong Kong, I mentioned this matter to Zhang Hong and them, but Zhang Hong was very concerned, saying that this was the best way to open up the mainland market. Relying on personal connections alone, there will always be a day when the favor will run out, and only if both parties can benefit each other, such cooperation is a long-term solution. Zhang Hong even envisioned setting up a subsidiary, affiliated with the National Film Company, to produce films that could be released on the mainland as co-productions.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Du and try to get him to bring a few mainland students."

Liu Weiqiang agreed, this is a serious matter, which is related to the future development of the company.

"I will also talk to Aunt Fang, and strive to let Shaw Brothers also accept some advanced students in television."

Uncle Zeng also agreed, and only then did he remember his business of looking for Sun Ziming.

"Ziming, our box office exceeded 20 million last night, do you want to have a celebration banquet?"

"How's the attendance now?"

When he mentioned this, Uncle Zeng was so excited that he gestured with his hand.

"It's still eight out of eight!"

Yes? The three of them have been busy with their own things these days, only caring about the box office, not about the attendance. It's been seven days, and there's still nearly ninety percent attendance?

"Today is Friday, and it is estimated that it will be full again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! Don't forget, children like to watch this film the most, and when a child comes to see it, there will be at least one parent to accompany it! ”

Before the three of them could fully recover from the shock, Uncle Zeng threw out another bomb.

"Jiahe is here, and their forty-one theaters will also release "Home Alone", and the box office share ratio is five or five!"

"What?"

Liu Weiqiang asked anxiously: "Did you agree?" ”

Uncle Zeng smiled and said that he was not a fool.

"Uncle Zeng, what should Aunt Fang do?"

Sun Ziming was overjoyed and remembered Aunt Fang's reaction. For the sake of the box office of a movie, offending her and the sixth uncle behind her, and affecting the cooperation in the future, it will be worth the loss!

"Don't worry, it's too late for Aunt Fang to be happy."

That's right, Jiahe is equivalent to admitting that he lost this round, Zou Tycoon is a character! No wonder Shaw Brothers couldn't suppress others, and after the most embarrassing thing was to let people step on the top of their heads, they rushed to this courage and reason, and Aunt Fang fell behind!

After figuring out this layer, Sun Ziming is still a little worried, more than 80 theaters will be released at the same time, although it can increase the box office in a short time, but there will also be a problem of reducing the attendance rate.

"Uncle Zeng, I'll go to help Wei Qiang Town in the evening and give us a copy of the attendance data."

"Hey".

When it comes to attendance, the other three are also a little drummed, but don't lower the attendance!

……

As it turned out, Sun Ziming's worries were unfounded.

At 7:40 in the evening, the data of the first scene of the major theaters were summarized to the filming site of "Home Alone 2", and Sun Ziming, who was helping Liu Weiqiang watch the monitor, was excited.

Full house!

At 9:20, the second game data came.

Full house!

At 10:40, the third game came over.

Full house!

At 0:30 a.m., the data for the midnight session came over, 72%!

Sun Ziming breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Shaw Brothers' estimate is right, this movie is expected to break through 40 million and set a new box office record!

……

Sun Ziming was right this time, two days later, on Monday, as soon as he walked into the office, Uncle Zeng was waiting for him inside.

"The total box office is 29 million, and the attendance rate is still 7. 2 into. The distribution of Taiwan, South Korea was negotiated and divided into 4. 5：5。 5. What do you think? ”

"You can just look at it, you have more experience in these things than me!"

"That"

Li Jiaxin took two cups of tea and pushed the door in, Uncle Zeng immediately closed his mouth and said in a low voice: "Jiaxin, you have to knock on the door when you come in the future, do you know what to do?" ”

"I'm sorry, not next time!"

Li Jiaxin hurriedly apologized, she did not have the consciousness of treating Sun Ziming, the big brother next door, as the boss. Uncle Zeng's reminder made her sober up, this big brother who often does laundry in her store is not only her senior, big brother, but also the owner of a studio, and he is just a temporary summer job hired by him.

"It's okay, you go out first, I'll talk to Uncle Zeng about something."

"Hey".

Sun Ziming's pleasant face made her heart relax, this is still the big brother downstairs, and he is still in the mood to hum when he returns to the lattice outside.

Li Jiaxin is relaxed, but Sun Ziming's office reveals a kind of weirdness.
