Li Maowen walked into Lei Juekun's office with a few forms, ready to report to his boss about the release of "Happy Ghost" yesterday.
Speaking of which, he, the general manager of the cinema chain, is particularly aggrieved, and many things are within his responsibilities and authority. However, due to the fact that the Golden Princess Cinema Line has just been reformed, the boss behind it, Lei Juekun, has to ask about everything, and he, the general manager, not only can't make decisions, but has become a mouthpiece for running errands.
"Sit!" Lei Juekun closed the book in his hand and said.
Li Maowen put the table sorted out by his assistant on Lei Juekun's table, and then said: "Yesterday, the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day has been counted, 18 theaters have been screened three times in a row, the average attendance rate is 59.6%, and the box office on the first day is more than 427,800 yuan. ”
The box office exceeded 400,000 on the first day, which was a sign of the annual box office champion last year, but don't forget that this year's movie ticket prices have increased by a third.
Lei Juekun asked: "How is "Senior Brother Out of the Horse"? ”
Li Maowen replied: "According to their release, the box office is estimated to be at least 700,000 or more. ”
Lei Juekun asked again: "How did the audience react?" ”
Li Maowen said: "The audience who watched "Happy Ghost" said that it was good-looking and funny, and I estimate that after the word of mouth spreads, the attendance rate should slowly increase. However, "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" is also well received, saying that Cheng Long's movie is good-looking, and there are a lot of jokes. ”
Lei Juekun smiled: "Just wait for the media to make a move." ”

Lee Court, Central, Hong Kong.
This is a time-honored Cantonese luxury restaurant, and XO sauce, which was popular in the Chinese world in later generations, was first launched in Lee Garden in 1981.
Today, the first floor of Li Yuan was wrapped up by Zou Wenhuai, and it was specially used to hold a celebration banquet for Cheng Long. The first-day box office of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" was not the 700,000 predicted by Li Maowen, but more than 816,000, which was almost double the first-day box office of "Happy Ghost".
"Junior Brother" also screened three consecutive screenings in Golden Harvest Cinemas, with an average attendance rate of 86% in the first show, and the second and third shows were full.
The box office on the first day was 810,000, and based on 20 days of release, the box office of "Senior Brother Out" definitely exceeded 10 million. This will be the first film to break the 10 million mark at the Hong Kong local box office, in addition to the revenue from the box office itself, it will also bring reputation and influence, and Golden Harvest will also create brilliance and firmly sit in the position of the leading boss of the Hong Kong film industry.
Those who came to participate in the celebration banquet were not only the senior executives of Golden Harvest and the crew members of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", but also many stars of Golden Harvest and the bosses of satellite companies.
Zou Wenhuai took He Guanchang to stand up and toasted in person: "Ah Long, this time you have made great contributions to the company, I will toast you on behalf of everyone!" ”
Cheng Long didn't dare to accept Zou Wenhuai's toast anymore, and hurriedly stood up with a wine glass and bent over and said: "Don't dare, I should respect Mr. Zou, if it weren't for your support, no matter how well "Senior Brother Out" was filmed, it wouldn't have won such a high box office. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you Boss Zou for your support." Yuan Biao, who played the second male lead in "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", also stood up and agreed, and then the whole table and the guests stood up and toasted Zou Wenhuai together.
"Hahaha, okay, I'll drink this cup, everyone is free!" Zou Wenhuai was relieved, and for a while he had a heroic feeling that the world was in my hands.
Everyone sat down again after toasting, and the boss of a small film company patted his ass quite playfully and said: "Princess Jin still wants to compete with Golden Harvest for the box office, and she doesn't weigh her own catties, but actually supports a small-budget movie made by mainland boys." Now Lei Juekun has been beaten on the head by Boss Zou and Ah Long, and it is estimated that he is hiding somewhere to drink. But it's not a celebration wine, but a stuffy wine that borrows wine to drown your sorrows, hahaha! ”
Many guests also laughed with Da Lu, although Zou Wenhuai understood that the person was patting on the back, but at this time he was more comfortable to hear this kind of words, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "Boss Lei is not easy, the box office of "Happy Ghost" can exceed 400,000 on the first day, and he has wasted a lot of effort, let's not talk about right and wrong behind our backs." ”
"Mr. Zou is really generous!" The guests praised it.
At the beginning of the banquet, Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long became the center of the celebration banquet, and from time to time someone came to the two with wine glasses to toast. respecting Zou Wenhuai's wine, he naturally wants Boss Zou to carry him more; And the wine that respects Cheng Long is that he hopes to cooperate with Cheng Long to make movies in the future.
The director and actor of the first movie with a box office of more than 10 million, this aura is too big, and Cheng Long's box office appeal in the future will reach an unprecedented height.
Hong Jinbao sat on the side and drank alone, Cheng Long's new film was a big hit, and he was naturally happy for his junior brother. But now there are too many people toasting, he can't plug in, and suddenly there is a feeling of being left out - he used to have a lot of support for his younger brothers and sisters, but Cheng Long, who used to need him to take care of him, now surpasses him, which makes Hong Jinbao feel a little uncomfortable.
was drinking wine cup by glass, Chen Xunqi suddenly leaned over and asked, "Brother Sanmao, if I want to learn to be a director, where should I start?" ”
Chen Xunqi is the soundtrack artist of "Junior Brother", and he is also the first-line soundtrack artist in the Hong Kong film industry today. Later, in "Journey to the West", when Zixia said to Supreme Treasure before she died: "I guessed the beginning, but I can't guess the ending", the music that sounded was composed by Chen Xunqi.
Chen Xunqi also cooperated with Hong Jinbao, and Hong Jinbao asked in surprise: "Why did you suddenly remember to be a director?" ”
Chen Xunqi said with a smile: "People always have to try new things. ”
"If you don't come to my Baoxiang, I'll let you be the assistant director first." Hong Jinbao smiled and beckoned. Baoxiang Film Company was opened by Hong Jinbao last year with the support of Golden Harvest, and the year before last, he also opened a Garbo Film Company with Mecca, but after making two or three films, they broke up.
While the two were talking, suddenly a man with a few newspapers and magazines in his hand hurriedly walked up to Zou Wenhuai and whispered something in his ear.
Zou Wenhuai's face remained unchanged and let the people at the table continue to eat and drink, but he took those newspapers and magazines out of the room. Coming to the lounge of the restaurant, Zou Wenhuai opened an entertainment page of "Sing Tao Daily", and the title on the front page was extremely eye-catching - "Happy Ghost" received rave reviews, and the audience was 100% satisfied!
Open the "Business Daily" again, the headline of the entertainment section is also "Happy Ghost", the article gave a very high evaluation of this movie, and said that this is a comedy suitable for all ages, and it has the positive significance of persuading people to be kind and teaching students to correct their shortcomings.
Several newspapers and magazines have been flipped out one after another, and the front page is all "Happy Ghost", and "Senior Brother Out of the Horse", which beat "Happy Ghost" at the box office, is only mentioned on the secondary page.
"This Lei Juekun is really wealthy!" Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he threw the newspaper aside, he had to fight a propaganda war with Princess Jin before, he thought that the movie would stop after it was released, but he didn't expect Lei Juekun to be endless.
Entertainment headlines in more than a dozen newspapers, how much does it cost to buy!

Zhao Yazhi's maiden family, the younger sister Zhao Yazhen flipped through the newspaper and said: "Fourth sister, the newspaper says that "Happy Ghost" is good, why don't we go to the movies to relax." ”
""Happy Ghost" has been released?" Zhao Yazhi was stunned for a moment and asked. It has been half a month since she moved back to her parents' house from the rented house on the radio road, and she has been dealing with the divorce from her husband.
Huang Hanwei seemed to have no love for her, and refused to agree to divorce, and finally made a little relent, and the two quarreled over the ownership of their son. Zhao Yazhi went to see his son several times, but he didn't even see his son's face, and later heard that he was sent to his mother-in-law by Huang Hanwei.
The quarrel with her husband's family in the past few days has made Zhao Yazhi anxious, where does she have time to pay attention to whether "Happy Ghost" will be released.
Zhao Yazhen took her sister's hand and said, "Let's go, fourth sister, watch the movie to relax, you will be sick all day long." ”
"Okay, I'll go change my clothes first." Zhao Yazhi returned to his bedroom and dressed up in the mirror. Since being reminded by Kang Jianfei, she has to take care of her image even when she goes out to buy groceries, and maintains the most perfect state at any time.
By the time Zhao Yazhi finished cleaning up, more than half an hour had passed, and as soon as she came out, Zhao Yazhen's eyes lit up with envy, and she said coquettishly: "Fourth sister, you are so beautiful, teach me how to put on makeup!" ”
"Okay, I'll teach you when I come back from watching the movie." Zhao Yazhi said, but he was a little worried about Kang Jianfei in his heart, afraid that his movie would not do well at the box office.
The sisters drove to a nearby Golden Princess's movie theater, and saw a long queue to buy tickets at the entrance of the theater from a long distance, Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise: "These are all here to see "Happy Ghost"?" ”
Zhao Yazhen said: "Yes, "Happy Ghost" has been released for several days, but these two days have been particularly popular, and many of my friends have gone to watch it with their families. ”
The two sisters could only honestly queue up to buy tickets, Zhao Yazhi wore a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and all she heard in her ears was the discussion of "Happy Ghost".
"Ah Zhu, is "Happy Ghost" really that good? We finally came out as a family to watch a movie together, so let's go to see Cheng Long's "Senior Brother Out of the Horse". ”
"Oh, Lao Dou, my classmates have all watched "Happy Ghost", wouldn't it be shameless if I didn't watch it?"
"Sister, I want eight "Happy Ghosts" at seven o'clock."
"It's good, it's 70 yuan in total, and I'm looking for you for 30 yuan, please take it."
"I bought fourteen tickets for the seven-o'clock show of "Happy Ghost."
"I'm sorry, the tickets for the 7 o'clock show are sold out, do you want the 9 o'clock show?"
"As long as it's a ticket for "Happy Ghost", you have to do it."
"Hey, did you make a mistake in the front, one person bought more than ten tickets, and all of them were bought for you."
"Do you want to care? My family is so bad! ”
"It's sold out, all the tickets for "Happy Ghost" are sold out today, and there is a very good-looking martial arts film "Seven Women" at midnight......"
"Cut, who watches bad martial arts movies. Let's add more games, three times a day is not enjoyable! ”
"Yes, add a show, what kind of bad movie are you showing during the daytime, it might as well be used to show "Happy Ghost"."
"That's it, the ticket price is cheap during the day, and I strongly request that "Happy Ghost" be released during the day!"
“……”
Zhao Yazhi's sisters looked at each other, they saw that they were at the end of the line, but they didn't expect the movie tickets to be sold out at this time.
"Hmph, luck is really declining!" Zhao Yazhen was so angry that she kicked a can on the ground away.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." Zhao Yazhi comforted with amusement, she didn't expect Kang Jianfei's movie to be so popular, and looking at the ticket sales, she knew that Lu Dao was full.
"Happy Ghost" was a big hit at the box office, and Zhao Yazhi was also happy, and the depression in his heart for several days was swept away, thinking: I really didn't see the wrong person, Ah Fei is so talented, he will definitely succeed!
