November.

The world's first new audio-visual product developed by Wanyan Company in the mainland that can bring together image and sound, and is more convenient and cheaper than laser CDs, has swept the whole of Asia.

The emergence of VCD has impacted the record industry and even the entire film and television industry.

A new kind of sound product has just been developed.

It's definitely going to be a huge market.

Affected by this, many record companies and even film companies have begun to record their copyrighted songs and movies into VCDs for distribution.

Fulong Company is no exception, and they immediately re-recorded several of the company's best-selling records after VCDs became popular.

Especially Chen Qiming's "Fairy Tale" and "The Heart Is Too Soft".

As soon as the VCD versions of the two records appeared, they immediately ushered in a very large wave of sales in the market.

Since its release on October 25, in just one week, the VCD versions of "Fairy Tale" and "Too Soft Heart" have sold 200,000 and 300,000 horror copies respectively.

Of course, the benefits brought by this wave of VCD are not only eaten by Chen Qiming.

All singers and actors who have hit songs and movies have enjoyed this wave of dividends.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Double Monday, Jet Li and so on.

Some of the previous works of all of them began to spread at a rapid speed to the mainland and other places where their influence was weaker before.

And among all the companies and personnel who have eaten this wave of VCD dividends.

The most earning is definitely Hong Kong Media Asia Film and Television.

The company, which specializes in video distribution, has too many rights to Hong Kong films.

At the beginning, the film rights of many film companies were bought by Media Asia at a price of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

It has relied on the distribution of videos to earn back the cost.

Now, with the advent of VCD, the old movies have been pushed to the fore again.

Media Asia quickly reached a cooperation with Wanyan VCD, and all their old movies that could not be released in the mainland were made into VCDs and sent to the mainland.

VCD is not expensive, a VCD is more than a dozen yuan.

However, with the huge population base in the mainland, in just one month, it brought hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue to Media Asia, making the company the largest company in Hong Kong in a short period of time.

And just when VCD began to prevail and began to bring great changes to the record industry and the film and television industry.

On November 4, Chen Qiming's "Green Snake" was released.

Although Chen Qiming was not in Hong Kong and did not attend the on-site promotional activities, this does not mean that Chen Qiming cannot promote the film.

Without a real person attending the event, there will be a myriad of ways to promote it.

With Chen Qiming's popularity, even if he does not attend live events, as long as he is mentioned in the media and newspapers, he will basically bring a lot of attention.

Not to mention, when Golden Harvest promoted this movie, it directly played the slogan of the first movie starring Chen Qiming.

Although Chen Qiming's role in this movie is not the protagonist in the real sense.

But it doesn't matter.

The producers believe that the distributors also think.

On the propaganda poster, his name is in front of Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung.

In this case, a large number of Chen Qiming's fans naturally entered the theater for this.

Of course, in addition to the main movie, which is the first movie starring Chen Qiming, "Green Snake" also features Maggie Cheung and Wang Zuxian for promotion.

In addition, Golden Harvest also came to a linkage hype with "New Love".

said that in the November schedule, Chen Qiming will play with his left hand and his right hand.

Hit yourself yourself, this publicity point is still very good, and it has attracted a lot of fans into the cinema.

Under the huge attention, "Green Snake" was released for three days and won a total of 8 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

This box office data is definitely top-notch, and if you continue to follow this box office trend, the final box office of this movie will definitely not be low.

It's just a pity that the film's word-of-mouth has suffered from polarization.

From film critics, many people say that this movie is very good, it shows humanity, and the actors are also very well shaped.

And among the fan group, this movie has a very poor reputation.

Many fans said that they couldn't understand the film and felt that it was a bad movie.

Who is the movie for? Not the critics!

If you rely on them alone, the film industry is already doomed.

No matter what the movie is, it is the audience that ultimately determines the success of the movie.

With a large number of fans believing that it was a bad movie, the box office of the film began to drop sharply in the second week.

In the first week, it averaged about 2 million at the box office a day, and in the second week, the box office was getting lower and lower day by day.

On the first day, it was still two million at the box office, and on the second day, the box office was only one million.

On the third day, it dropped to 500,000.

Because the box office is getting lower and lower, the box office only got one or two hundred thousand in the last few days of the second week.

Therefore, Golden Harvest had to choose to release this movie in advance after the tenth day of release, and the total box office of this movie was also fixed at more than 13 million.

Overall, this box office definitely didn't make back Golden Harvest's investment, but this figure is also very good.

Although the box office of Hong Kong movies has been increasing in recent years, there are still twenty or thirty movies with a box office of tens of millions every year.

However, although "Green Snake" was released, Chen Qiming did not disappear from major media newspapers in Hong Kong.

When the box office of "Green Snake" was getting less and less day by day, a large number of media and newspapers began to sing about Chen Qiming, feeling that he had no box office appeal.

Even, there is an actor named Huang in Hong Kong who directly spoke in the media and ridiculed Chen Qiming.

"Some people, who can sing a few songs, really think that they are very powerful, crossover! He really thought he was Andy Lau! ”

Huang's remarks were published by many media in Hong Kong, and the popularity was very good.

"Is this guy sick? Somehow to bite me? ”

After listening to the original words of Huang described by Liu Ciwei on the phone, Chen Qiming couldn't help but ask.

"Because you have the heat, and his movie is about to be released, so naturally he is staring at you!"

Liu Ciwei on the phone said.

"Huh...... Another bloody and perverted violent movie? ”

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but sneer.

Since the 80s, Hong Kong cinema has entered a very prosperous period.

A large number of record-breaking movies continue to appear, creating many actors with box office appeal.

Such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Jet Li and others.

These people, no matter whether the movie is good or bad, as long as they join the film, with their popularity and influence at home and abroad, the movie is 100% profitable.

In this era, the influence of actors on the box office of movies is very huge.

Whether there is a big star in a movie will definitely seriously affect the box office of the movie.

is like "Green Snake", although most of the media are saying that Chen Qiming's box office appeal is not good.

But that's just rhetoric.

If you really want to talk about it, most of the credit for the 8 million box office in the first week of "Green Snake" comes from Chen Qiming.

Therefore, the guy who says he has no appeal is completely talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Especially this Huang.

If you want to divide Hong Kong actors into two categories, one is Stephen Chow, who shoots feature films and relies on the appeal of actors to increase the box office.

The other one is someone like Huang.

They don't have box office appeal, so most of the movies they star in are low-budget films.

And low-budget films, if they want to attract audiences, have to go in two directions.

One is pornographic level three, and the other is violent and bloody perverts.

The representative of this type of movie is Huang.

With a fierce appearance, he was born to be suitable for this kind of movie, and then he has been acting in this kind of movie since his debut.

Chen Qiming is not looking down on actors who play pornographic tertiary and bloody and violent movies.

He also has friends in this area.

He can talk to Xu Jinjiang, who was born in tertiary films.

But this Huang ......

To be honest, Chen Qiming really doesn't understand where this guy got his confidence to dare to compare his box office appeal with himself.

"You go to the newspaper and publish all the movies I participated in at the box office and compare them with his films.

Facts are always better than words!! ”

Chen Qiming said.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he paused again, "Forget it, don't publish it in the newspaper, a clown who jumps off the beam, I have the general knowledge with him to lift him, just let him jump, I'll see how long he can jump." ”

Chen Qiming originally wanted to use box office data to slap Huang in the face.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to forget it.

Not necessarily.

With his fame, if you go to fight with this guy, it will be 100% to increase the popularity of this guy.

Chen Qiming is unwilling to do this kind of thing.

If you say a word to him, you will feel a loss.
