On January 1, 1993, on this day, my Mr. Jia once again opened a new map and came to a new city, which is Hong Kong.
On this day, the hard-fought "Farewell My Concubine" can finally be released, and as the sole producer of "Farewell My Concubine", Mr. Jia naturally wants to come and attend the premiere of "Farewell My Concubine".
It can be seen that our Director Chen's face is still a little insufficient, and there are not many stars who came to attend the premiere, mainly the actors of "Farewell My Concubine", such as Guorong, Gong Li, Zhang Fengyi or something, but there are not many real local actors in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, that is, Leslie Cheung alone.
There are not many media here, it is estimated that there are only about 10 or so, and there are quite a lot of audiences, but each audience is basically holding a sign of Leslie Cheung, obviously these audiences are attracted by Leslie Cheung's name.
"It seems that we are not very popular in Hong Kong!" Jia Yapeng looked at the sparse reporters, and basically all of them were Leslie Cheung's fans, and said to Director Zhang Da beside him with a smile.
"No way, this is Hong Kong and Hong Kong, and we are a mainland movie, this kind of scene is too normal!" Director Chen sighed, but obviously he had already encountered such a situation.
In recent years, it is very rare for a mainland film to choose to premiere in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, and coupled with Hong Kong and Hong Kong's consistent prejudice against the mainland, they will be interested in ghosts.
In fact, if it weren't for the name Leslie Cheung among the actors, I am afraid that there would not even be a reporter and fans on the scene.
"How many movie theaters will be released in Hong Kong tomorrow, how many movie curtains will be given to us, and how many shows will there be in total?" Jia Yapeng asked.
Jia Yapeng learned a little about it, in 92 years, it was the time when the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film industry reached its peak, and the city of Hong Kong and Hong Kong alone actually had 5 different cinema lines, thousands of large and small cinemas, more than 3,000 curtains, and more than 100,000 seats.
Otherwise, it is impossible for a single Hong Kong market to create a single movie with a box office of 60 million.
Therefore, the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film markets in this year can create one box office miracle after another, crushing a country with the box office results of a city.
Therefore, it is not wrong for Director Chen Da to choose to premiere in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, as long as "Farewell My Concubine" can get enough films, the box office may be very impressive.
"This, it is estimated that there are about 200 movie theaters that will show our movie today, more than 300 screens, and about 500 shows!" Director Zhang Da said.
"So little?" Jia Yapeng's expression became a little ugly, only more than 200 of the 1000 movie theaters will be released, which is equivalent to 1/5 of the total, this is also a little too miserable, every theater should try to release a movie, see how it works!
"Today's New Year's Day, will there be a lot of new films released?" Mr. Jia asked.
"No, the new film has been released on Christmas Eve, and the new film released today is only us!" Director Chen Da shook his head and said.
"That is, the theater is not optimistic about our movies?" Mr. Jia asked again.
"It shouldn't be, to be precise, except for two of the five major theater chains, the other three haven't seen our movies at all, I came over a few days ago, and they heard that our movies are from the mainland, and they didn't even have the interest to watch them, so they said goodbye to me!"
"Mr. Jia, I'm sorry, it seems that we are afraid to lose money this time!" Director Chen said with a somewhat resentful expression, it seems that these days, Director Chen Da has also suffered a lot of grievances, I thought that with the trump card of Guorong in his hand, he should be quite optimistic in the Hong Kong market, but he still ate a bowl of closed-door soup in the end.
"These Hong Kong people look down on people too much!" Director Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"Naturally, looking down is looking down on it, but there should be other reasons!" Mr. Jia smiled.
"What is the reason?" Director Chen asked curiously.
"Naturally, because the capital of this movie is mainland capital, that is, my capital!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile: "The film market in Hong Kong and Hong Kong is so big, and there are almost hundreds of local film companies in Hong Kong, and they can't afford to eat these box offices, how can an outsider like me be welcome to share the money?" ”
"So I guess there should be a lot of Hong Kong and Hong Kong film companies behind this time, asking for a collective boycott of us, and these theaters rely on film companies to eat after all, it is not surprising that they will unite together, otherwise there is a sign of Guorong, why is this!"
The reason why Boss Jia made such a judgment is mainly because Jia Yapeng vaguely remembers that when the world's "Farewell My Concubine" was released in Hong Kong, it achieved a box office of 28 million Hong Kong dollars, which also ranked tenth in the box office list of Hong Kong and Hong Kong movies in 93, which is also a pretty good result.
This is by no means an achievement that can be achieved by a film that only 200 theaters are willing to release, then the fact is clear that there are people who are boycotting the film compared to the previous life.
And everything in "Farewell My Concubine" is basically the same as in the previous life, and the only thing that is different from the previous life is our Boss Jia. In the previous life, Tomson Group, the capital behind "Farewell My Concubine", was a Hong Kong and Hong Kong company, and the boss himself was also mixed up from the film market, and he had a lot of connections in the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film circles, so he was naturally able to get the most support from movie theaters.
And our Boss Jia, although he seems to be a little richer, has no connections in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, and he is mainland capital, so it is normal for him to be secretly boycotted.
"So what do we do? It looks like I'm really going to lose a lot of money this time! Hearing Jia Yapeng analyze the secret behind it, Director Chen's face instantly became whiter, if it is boycotted by the entire Hong Kong and Hong Kong film market, then "Farewell My Concubine" will only have a 6-figure box office, then he will really lose his adult.
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if the box office is 0, I don't care!" Jia Yapeng patted Director Zhang Da on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Director Chen, I said that the purpose of this movie is to win awards, as for other things, don't care, 25 million is just a small amount of money for me, you don't have psychological pressure, I support you in everything!" ”
"Thank you boss!" Director Chen was so moved, he couldn't imagine that he would meet such a generous boss, which is a good thing that many film directors can't dream of. It seems that he must hug Boss Jia's thighs tightly in the future, and strive to let him invest money in him in the future, and his future movies can also be more self-indulgent and shoot some things he wants to make.
Well, if Jia Yapeng knew that Director Zhang Da had such thoughts in his heart, Jia Yapeng would not have said this, we Jia Zong didn't want to cooperate with Director Chen again, this guy was really born to lose money, but only this "Farewell My Concubine" won the award, and the fool will continue to cooperate.
"Hey, Brother Long is here!"
"Oh my God, Brother Long is actually here!!" Suddenly, the reporters in the cinema were in a commotion, and more than a dozen reporters rushed out directly, and began to shoot at the entrance of the cinema, and then Brother Long, who was smiling, walked into the premiere scene.
"Why did he come, I didn't invite him!" Seeing Brother Long, Director Chen was a little confused, he originally tried to invite some local stars from Hong Kong and Hong Kong, but they were all refused, so Director Chen simply gave up inviting other big-name stars, but he didn't expect Brother Long to come by himself.
"Oh, this is my invited guest!" Mr. Jia said with a smile, this big brother Long is really good at being a man, even if he knows that the whole of Hong Kong and Hong Kong are boycotting him, but he still came to participate in the premiere, so he rushed to this, it seems that he will have to pull this big brother in the future.
Although it is okay to find him to shoot advertisements or something in the future, it is still possible to make movies, at least before 2010, Brother Long's name is still very appealing in the film market.
"Miss Yang Ziqiong is also here!" The reporters exclaimed again, and Yang Ziqiong's appearance made Mr. Jia a little surprised, he didn't invite this Miss Yang over, this one was really uninvited.
