In the midst of a few people chatting, the movie began to play. At first, some of the audience members were whispering, but as the movie progressed, the entire cinema fell silent in an instant.

Soon, there was already a faint sobbing sound in the movie theater, and many people's eyes were red, and finally when Cheng Dieyi died in the arms of his senior brother, the whole theater was completely crying, and it was completely unstoppable.

And this is actually the first time Mr. Jia watched "Farewell My Concubine", although he was already prepared in his heart, but when he was in the depths of love, he couldn't help but sob.

[PS: The author hasn't read "Farewell My Concubine", so he won't write any critical texts, anyway, the first Huaxia score should be able to explain everything]

In the end, the film ended, but the whole theater was still crying, no one got up to applaud, and no one wanted to leave the table.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Jia Yapeng took the lead in standing up and applauding vigorously, and then Brother Long and Yang Ziqiong beside him also reacted and began to applaud violently.

Then, the whole movie theater reacted, everyone was applauding desperately, and the sound resounded throughout the theater, which shocked many reporters who participated in countless premieres.

"This is definitely the best movie I've ever seen!" Brother Long held Director Chen Kai's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Director Chen, thank you for bringing such an excellent movie to the world and to Huaxia!" ”

"Director Chen, the shooting is so good!" Yang Ziqiong also touched her tears and said.

And Guo Rong, who was the starring actor on the side, cried worse than anyone else when he rewatched the movie he filmed, and he seemed to have no strength to stand up and speak.

At this time, not many people actually knew about Leslie Cheung's orientation, after all, it was not 30 years later, and homosexuality had basically become politically correct in the world.

Comrades in this era are subject to social pressure and the hatred of fans, so Guorong has always been hiding it. And this "Farewell My Concubine" is simply a copy of the story between him and that Mr. Tang.

is also a childhood sweetheart who has been getting along since childhood, and has also suffered from the torture of their respective lives and families, and they have also suppressed their respective emotions.

Even the final ending is the same, Leslie Cheung gave himself a sword, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

Some people even said that Guorong couldn't think about it in the end, because of the impact of "Farewell My Concubine".

It is precisely because of this that Leslie Cheung was able to devote all his emotions to this movie, and the unparalleled Cheng Dieyi came out, which has since become the swan song of the world, farewell to my concubine.

Jia Yapeng glanced at Leslie Cheung with complicated eyes, this kind of thing, he is really not a big man to interfere, what he can do is about 2003, find someone to go to the hotel to watch Leslie Cheung, and save his life at a critical time.

At this time, the applause in the theater was not over, and the audience was applauding unpassionately, until a few minutes later, the applause gradually stopped, and the crowd reluctantly dispersed.

"Director Chen, no matter what the box office of the movie is, this movie is destined to go down in history and become one of the monuments in the history of our Chinese film!" Mr. Jia patted Director Chen's shoulder and said with a sigh, and at this time, Director Chen's expression also looked much better, there were so many people applauding, and even all the reporters were already in tears, the box office of Farewell My Concubine should still be able to be saved!

It's just that it turns out that Director Chen is wrong, although all the Hong Kong and Hong Kong reporters present were in tears, but on the second day, when the film reviews of these reporters came out, Director Chen was angry and wanted to scold his mother.

There is no need to talk about the specific content of these film reviews, just take out the name of the film review and look at it.

"It's actually a gay movie, don't watch it if you don't like it"

"Old bottle of new wine, but not as much as Hong Kong's Farewell My Concubine"

"Empty tears, but no real feeling, the director is too sensational"

"Farewell My Concubine, the biggest mistake in Leslie Cheung's life"

A Plate of Dry Bread, a Movie That Isn't Swallowable

"Farewell My Concubine to the Two Overlords, the gap between the mainland and Hong Kong is still 30 years"

In fact, the movie "Farewell My Concubine" was filmed in Hong Kong and Hong Kong in 1980, and the name was "Farewell My Concubine in Hong Kong".

Well, the name is not one more, but there are two Hong Kongs, the reason is because at the end of the plot, Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi reunited in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, so two Hong Kong and Hong Kong were used.

Compared with each other, the ending of the Hong Kong version is slightly better, but whether it is the idea or connotation, or the actors, or everything else, it is completely crushed by the mainland version.

Don't look at the high score of 9.3 points on Douban in later generations, but if you look carefully at the movie reviews, you will find that this is all the wrong movie, and it is simply funny to score this old Hong Kong version of the movie as the 93 version of Farewell My Concubine.

Director Chen has naturally seen this movie, and after watching it, Director Chen knows very well that although this movie is actually good, it is still quite far from his painstaking work.

He couldn't imagine that in the Hong Kong and Hong Kong media, he was actually devalued as worthless, which made Director Chen so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

But the media in the entire Hong Kong and Hong Kong all spoke in unison, and they all belittled "Farewell My Concubine" as worthless.

And the box office in the first two days also seems to confirm the views of these media.

The first day was the day with the most screenings of "Farewell My Concubine", with 523 shows, with an average of 100 seats and a movie ticket of 10 yuan.

If it is calculated according to the attendance rate of about 30% under normal circumstances, then the box office on the first day should be about 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is the passing line of a movie, if it cannot reach this passing line, then the movie will be directly abandoned by the theater.

As a result, on the first day, the final box office result was 93,000, and it didn't even break through the 6 figures.

As a result, the number of performances on the second day was directly reduced to 312, and the box office was also reduced to about 82,000.

By the third day, there were only more than 163 shows left, and the box office also dropped to about 78,000.

The total income of the three days is 250,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if the box office in the first three days of release in the Hong Kong and Hong Kong markets is generally equal to 20% of the total box office, then the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" should not exceed 1.25 million Hong Kong dollars.

According to the rules of the Hong Kong-Hong Kong film market, the five-fifty split between the film company and the theater chain, then the box office share that can be harvested from Hong Kong and Hong Kong will not exceed 600,000.

[PS: In fact, the box office sharing rules of the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film markets are a bit cumbersome, and it is also related to where the producer of the movie comes from, the strength of the theater chain, and whether there is a gangster background behind it, etc., the specific sharing rules are difficult to calculate, here is calculated according to the nearly fifty-fifty percent of most movies]

In fact, Director Chen feels that there may not even be a box office of 500,000, because the cinema chain will not continue to schedule films anymore, and his next release may have to receive double digits, "Farewell My Concubine" is really finished.

"Mr. Jia, let's go back, I don't have the face to stay here!" Director Chen finally found Mr. Jia in shame, and then said.

"Don't worry!" Jia Yapeng laughed instead, with a box office data in front of him, and said with a smile, "Director Chen, don't you think this box office data is very interesting?" ”

"What's interesting there?" Director Chen was stunned for a moment.

"You see, compared to the first day on the second day, and compared with the third day and the second day, our number of screenings is almost half less. But our box office has only dropped by about 10%, don't you think this data is interesting? ”

"What do you mean......" Director Chen's breathing suddenly became short, he was surrounded by such negative emotions, so he didn't see some obvious problems in the box office data clearly.

But now that Jia Yapeng has woken up, he has found that this data is indeed very interesting.

The percentage of shows falling is so high, but the percentage of box office declines is very low, with 90,000 box office at 500 shows. At 150 shows, it will still have a box office of nearly 78,000, which is indeed extraordinary.

This shows that although the film schedule has gone down, the average attendance rate per game has increased.

On the first day, the attendance was around 17%.

On the second day, the attendance was up to 26%.

On the third day, the attendance rate was 47%.

Oh my God, up to 47% of the movies, there are not many such movies in Hong Kong and Hong Kong a year!

Director Chen's breathing instantly became rapid.
