"Cheng Pao: A very alternative gang film, dark and depressing, dark to the end, when the undercover agent sinks in hell, then become a demon king......"

"Sing Tao Daily: The soundtrack and camera language are first-class, as for this story, it is a little difficult to comment, congratulations to Zhou Yunfa for getting rid of Xu Wenqiang, after the new world, Pan Ya Cheng Ge is unique!"

"Xinbao: Pioneering style gang film, although before this, the main creative team was unknown, but I believe that from now on, no one dares to ignore this name in the field of fashion gang drama, Zhao Donghuai, compared with the new world, the undercover plan of the clever five lucky stars is more like a children's game."

"Ten Thousand Times: People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, brotherhood, violent fighting, black and white fighting, this is a textbook-like classic modern gang film feast."

"Ming Pao: Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are surprising, Wan Ziliang's aura is worthy of a real big brother, talk about ...... from the actor's acting skills"

"Island Daily: The Godfather Trilogy? If this is the opening work of the Hong Kong Island Godfather series, the main creative team has undoubtedly handed over an amazing answer. ”

………………

On a new day, Zhao Donghuai slept until the afternoon.

After all, it was already very late after participating in the midnight show of his first movie last night, which was also his rest after a completely busy event in the past few months.

slept until the afternoon, he was awakened by Du Qifeng's knock on the door, and Du Sir ran directly to read the newspaper with a pile of newspapers.

Zhao Donghuai was speechless.

However, he can understand that Du Sir is not Du Cannon many years later, he has become famous in the film industry, he is just a new world assistant director, he has been sinking for many years, and he is the only one who directs a movie and still pounces, he has no confidence to continue to mix in the film industry.

Listening to all kinds of compliments in the newspaper, Zhao Donghuai grabbed a bottle of Coke tons and tons before he asked curiously, "How is the attendance rate today?" ”

Generally, the midnight show of movies is held in order to listen to the audience's word-of-mouth, and if there is a lot of scolding, it can be revised in time.

Only those with a good reputation will not be changed and will be released on a large scale.

However, for this new world, Zhao Donghuai's confidence is relatively sufficient, and the other creative teams, including Boss Shao, have good reviews after watching the movie, so they don't care too much about the midnight effect.

Strictly speaking, this is a midnight show process that everyone has, and it will be released afterwards and will not be easily changed.

Today is the 16th day of August in the lunar calendar, the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on Hong Kong Island.

Du Qifeng hurriedly sat up straight, wanting to be serious, but his smile couldn't help spreading, "Yes, even if it's a morning show, I've been to Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei Cinema, and the average attendance rate is above 40%. ”

"That's it, some people who take their children to watch the movie, and there are a lot of complaints that will frighten the children after they come out."

Gang films full of violent fights, there are a lot of bloody scenes of slashing and slashing, and it is normal to scare children, which is also a ...... before the emergence of the grading system on Hong Kong Island

Zhao Donghuai took another sip of Coke and said with a smile, "It's very good, the key is to watch the afternoon and evening, today is the first day of release." ”

As for the leading cinemas in Shaw Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei, a large screening hall can accommodate 1,000 people, which is different from the multi-functional theaters with 1,200 seats in later generations.

"What about them?"

Du Qifeng laughed, "Ah Fa, Ah Liang, they are waiting in line for the show again, and they are still preparing to have a happy tonight." ”

Now it's a vote of TVB's own son and godson, queuing up to promote the new film...... Well, this is also the highlight of Shaw Cinema recently, and the better it sells, the more Boss Shao is picking up money.

In addition to making money, it can also drive the popularity of the theater! Such as popcorn, cola and other businesses!

After talking and laughing excitedly for a while, Du Sir handed over a cigarette to Director Zhao and lit it, and then stopped talking, "Director, that ...... That ......"

Du Qifeng is not his mother-in-law's person, seeing his embarrassed look, Zhao Donghuai smiled, "You want to say a sequel??" ”

Du Sir nodded hurriedly, isn't it, when they met for the first time, Director Zhao said that if the first part is filmed, the second part will be directed by him.

And during the whole filming process, To Qifeng also felt that he had learned a lot, and he even felt as if he had been ignited something.

When later generations talked about Du sir, the biggest impression was nothing more than gangs and community films, what underworld society, dark wars, gunfire, PTU, major events, drug wars, etc., this is an expert who specializes in shooting police and bandit stories of Hong Kong Island communities.

However, in the past, Du Qifeng's first movie was the Sword of Death in the Blue Water and Cold Mountain, and he knew that it was martial arts when he heard the name, and he continued his studies in TVB, and most of his films were martial arts dramas.

In the original trajectory, there was no Zhao Donghuai inserting this bar, he finished filming the 83 Huang Rihua version of the Condor Shooting, and next year he will shoot Tony Leung and Liu Dehua's version of Lu Ding Ji.

But when the assistant director filmed New World, a fashion club drama known as a pioneering style, To Qifeng felt like the door to the new world was opened.

Zhao Donghuai smiled, "Okay, as long as our box office is not bad, it shouldn't be bad, you can prepare the second script of New World in the next few days, as long as the script passes, I will invest in filming for you." ”

"But when it comes to the ugly words, the script is not good, I won't vote."

Johnny To, "Ah......hhhh

Didn't you prepare a script for me? He was stunned for a second before he nodded and smiled again, "Okay, I'll try, but Director Zhao, my screenwriting ability needs to be improved, but the script is not enough, you have to help me." ”

Zhao Donghuai nodded.

He originally planned to hand over the genuine Infernal Affairs, undercover for three years and three years, and handed over the version that was shot to death before he retired to Du Sir, just to see Du Qifeng's current skills.

After laughing for a while, Zhao Donghuai asked Ah Guang and Ah Yong, who lived next door, to go grocery shopping and wine, planning to play a side stove at home and drink a little wine to relax.

box office, it still depends on the box office results in the past few days, and then talk about others.

…………

It's a new day, September 23 in the Gregorian calendar, and August 17 in the lunar calendar.

Zhao Donghuai was still sleeping, when he heard a knock on the door, and when he walked impatiently to open the door, he saw Guan Jiahui rushing in with an excited face, "Brother Huai, you're going to be on fire, yesterday 12 theaters were screened all day, and the attendance rate was more than fifty percent." ”

"The box office is more than 700,000 in one day!"

More than 700,000 how? Not much, the average ticket price is 15 yuan, which is only less than 50,000 people have watched the movie, based on the popularity of Zhou Yanfa and Lu Liangwei on the beach, with the fan appeal of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guirong, and various publicity offensives.

That's not bad.

But it's not bad either.

After all, this is an era that has accumulated throughout the year, and only nine or ten films have exceeded 10 million at the box office in a year, even if according to the current viewing efficiency, 12 theaters will be released for about 20 days, and this opening of 700,000 is expected to break 10 million.

For a rookie director, two assistant directors who hit the street, as well as a box office poison and a group of film newcomers and rookies, this is a harbinger of success!

Fat Tsai Jing's second-generation film and big director's family background is still a top student of Hong Kong University, and his first movie broke 5 million.

No matter what the atmosphere of a movie is when it is filmed, what the word-of-mouth is before its official release, and what the reaction is to the audition, everything is too empty if the box office is not out.

When the box office pops out, it's ......

Sister Guan was feeling excited now, and when she was excited, she glanced at Zhao Donghuai a few times, and suddenly turned around with a low scream.

After all, the young man who has just woken up is angry.

Everybody is a good boy.

…………

New World was released on a large scale, and the box office of 12 theaters exceeded 700,000 on the first Thursday and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, and more than 700,000 on Friday the second day.

On Saturday, Shaw Brothers was screened in a row, and the box office directly exceeded one million!

On Sunday, more than 1.2 million.

That's more than 3.7 million in the first weekend.
