Chapter 211: Box Office Sniping
The absurd, bizarre and funny story, Liang Chaowei's easy acting skills, especially a pair of eyes that seem to be able to talk and Li Zhi's sexy and changeable image, let the audience enjoy a visual feast while also tasting a sincere and interesting love, especially the shocking effect produced by the use of a large number of heavy thermal weapons in the film, which left a deep impression on the audience.
After the film ends, Gu Chen and Derrank? Bruce started closed-door negotiations in the conference room of the Tang Dynasty Cinema on the release of "Top Secret Mission" in North America and other regions outside Asia, and in the most critical box office share, at first because the two insisted on their own opinions and did not give in to each other, the negotiations came to a standstill, and finally the two took a step back, so that the negotiations continued proudly, and the final result was reached.
The door of the conference room was closed for nearly two hours and opened with a click, Wu Siyuan walked in front, Gu Chen and Frank? Bruce walked behind, and the three of them walked to the elevator entrance, and when they parted, Derrank? Bruce held Gu Chen's hand and said with a light smile: "Perhaps, as you said, this movie will surprise Hollywood with Hong Kong movies." See you again and hope to come back to Hong Kong in the near future. ”
Gu Chen said confidently: "I believe this time will not be too long." Are you sure you won't take a night off and wait until tomorrow to return to the U.S.? ”
……
Since the release time of "Top Secret Mission" was announced, Zou Wenhuai's mood has not been good during this time, although he doesn't want to admit it, but "Top Secret Mission" did put a lot of pressure on him, but the release time of "A Plan Sequel" has been announced, and it is difficult to recover, so he can only bite the bullet.
At yesterday's premiere, in order to build momentum for "Top Secret Mission", Golden Harvest invited many celebrities to come to help, which can be compared to the big names on "Top Secret Mission". "A Plan Sequel" lost for a while first. After the premiere ended, all parties were full of praise for "Top Secret Mission", and the occasional contradiction was harmless, and in inverse proportion to it, "A Plan and a Sequel" was accused by many media and film critics that the plot was old-fashioned and uninspired, and it was completely up to Cheng Long to attract attention alone, so he lost for a while.
You must know that Lu Dao's "A Plan Lu Plan Sequel" has high hopes for him, and the outside world generally describes "A Plan Lu Plan Sequel" as a powerful work for Golden Harvest to maintain its status in the film industry, if it loses to "Top Secret Mission" by a large gap at the box office, it will be a huge blow to Golden Harvest. So much so that he didn't sleep well all night last night, and came to the company just after going to work. and other box office returns.
I don't know how many cups of coffee Lu Dao drank, and the secretary finally sent the box office of the first day of "A Plan Lu Xuan Sequel", but he only looked at the document that only had one A4 paper and closed his eyes in disappointment, leaned back in the chair, and waved weakly to the secretary. Let the other party go out - 1.97 million, this data was placed a year ago. He may be barely satisfied. Can be put now......
The secretary had read the document before sending it to Zou Wenhuai, and his mood was a little heavy, and he met He Guanchang who was walking briskly as soon as he came out of the office.
"Is the boss in there?"
The secretary nodded and said, "But it doesn't seem to be in a good mood, I just sent in the first-day box office data of "A Plan Sequel". ”
Hearing this, He Guanchang's already slightly frowning brows suddenly wrinkled even deeper. He had heard about the box office of "A Plan Sequel" before he came, and the box office of 1.97 million was indeed not a good result, not to mention that there was still a strong opponent, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly. Pushed open the office door and walked in.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zou Wenhuai opened his eyes and saw that it was He Guanchang, and immediately said: "Did you get the box office data of "Top Secret Mission"?" ”
He Guanchang pulled out a chair and sat down, and said flatly: "2.85 million, this is the data just released by the Tang Dynasty Cinema Line." If it weren't for the release of the sequel to "A Trick Sequel", the data would be much more than that, but according to my estimates, the box office will continue to rise in the next few days. ”
The most desperate hope was broken, and Zou Wenhuai's face was as ugly as it was at this time: ""Top Secret Mission" was affected by "A Plan Sequel", "A Plan Sequel" was not affected by "Top Secret Mission", if the two movies were not released on the same day, I think there would be no problem with the first-day box office of "A Plan Sequel" of 2.5 million. Hmph, this is completely a malicious sniping of Golden Harvest. ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Chen did this on purpose, although this is likely to harm others and himself, but "Top Secret Mission" is not only released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and some countries in Southeast Asia are released simultaneously with Hong Kong, and some will be released in North America, Europe and other places later, compared with the huge overseas market, a small loss in the Hong Kong market is really insignificant.
After hesitating, He Guanchang said: "I heard that Tang Dynasty has completed negotiations with the American EGK company, and "Top Secret Mission" will be the first to be released in the United States in the near future. ”
Zou Wenhuai was silent, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, and after a while he asked, "What do you think is the best box office of the two films?" ”
He Guanchang hesitated again: "25 million and 42 million." He didn't say which one was 25 million and which one was 42 million, but this was an obvious thing, and Zou Wenhuai naturally couldn't hear it. However, He Guanchang still overestimated "A Plan for the Sequel", or "Top Secret Mission", or "Top Secret Mission", when the two films finally spoke, the box office of "A Plan for the Sequel" was only 21 million, while the box office of "Top Secret Mission" was as high as more than 45 million, once again refreshing the highest record of Hong Kong film box office. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.
said that when Zou Wenhuai obtained the box office data of "Top Secret Mission", a box office data report of "A Plan for the Sequel" was also sent to Gu Chen, and when he saw the data on it that didn't even pass 2 million, he smiled: "I'm really curious about what kind of expression Wrinkles are now." ”
Zeng Zhiwei also smiled: "What kind of expression can it be, it is estimated that he is now discussing with He Guanchang how to turn the situation back." It's just ......" he shook his head and said: "To put it objectively, Cheng Long is jumping up and down hard in the play, "A Plan Sequel" can be called a good action movie, if there is no "Top Secret Mission" box office, it should be good, a comparison of the two movies, the plot of "A Plan Sequel" is a little too old-fashioned, and the whole movie is a traditional fight scene, there is really nothing new.
