On January 27, 2009, at 6:30 a.m., before the sun came out, gongs, drums and suona sounded on some streets in Kowloon, Hong Kong Island.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and many local young people on Hong Kong Island go to the clan ancestral hall to engage in activities.

Kowloon is quite good, such as Yuen Long, Kwun Tong, there are a lot of villages with single surnames, and it is even more lively during the Chinese New Year.

Moreover, Kowloon is an urban area, and firecrackers are prohibited.

If it's a village on the other side of Kwun Tong, there's no way to manage it, and there are constant firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

A beautiful high-end apartment, Huang Baiyan rubbed his eyes and shook his head speechlessly.

He hadn't slept well in the past few days, and just heard the sound of suona outside, and almost thought that black and white impermanence had come to lock him up and go to the underworld.

He was so frightened that he collapsed to a meter high, and after the age of fifty, he didn't jump so high.

I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses,

He actually has a villa in Mid-Levels, but many of his friends and relatives live in Kowloon, and during the Chinese New Year, he returned to live in the old house he bought in Kowloon a few years ago.

At this time, it was not yet dawn, he was obviously very tired, but he was not sleepy, rubbed his eyes, and then took out his mobile phone to call the secretary.

"Boss, "Happy Family 2009" got the most box office on Hong Kong Island yesterday, and we are the daily box office champion, with a total of 2.8 million."

The secretary's voice was a little tired, but his tone was excited.

Movies produced by Huang Baiyan or produced by the producer have actually become more and more bad in recent years.

For example, "Seven Swords" spent so much money and invited so many stars, but in the end it lost money.

This time, Huang Baiyan had a whim and found a group of stars to act in the New Year comedy.

And the last time Huang Baiyan organized a game like this was in 1998 "Nine Star Annunciation", when Leslie Cheung was still alive, and ten years have passed.

Huang Baiyan engaged in such a comedy again this time, and the situation was good, and he won the box office championship of Hong Kong Island Day in one fell swoop.

"Hmm, what about Hurricane Rescue 2, what's the situation?"

"Boss, "Hurricane Rescue 2" is not very good, only two million box office."

"Hurricane Rescue 2" has a very good reputation in the mainland, in beautiful countries, and in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

On Hong Kong Island, it is ordinary, probably because Cheng Long and Yinghuang got close, and brought Tingfeng and Teacher Chen with him, plus his own private affairs.

The audience on Hong Kong Island didn't buy him.

When Huang Baiyan heard this, his mood was inexplicably better.

He then asked, "What about in Malaysia?" ”

"On the Malay side, we have suppressed Hurricane Rescue 2."

"Where's Po Village?"

"Po Village is not very good over there, the first place in "Hurricane Rescue 2", the second place is Bollywood's "Moonlight Bazaar to China", and the third place is our "Happy Family 2009".

There are a lot of Ah San in Po Village, and many Ah San movies will also be released in Po Village, and some movies can even achieve a good box office.

However, Huang Baiyan is still very unhappy, "Hurricane Rescue 2" overpowered the third brother's movie, why can't "Happy Family 2009" be suppressed?

"Where's Tyrande?"

When it comes to the box office in Southeast Asia, Chinese movies generally say Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, but in fact, it is mainly Singapore and Malaysia, and the box office of Tyrande is much worse.

The main reason is that the Chinese in the Tyrande area have almost assimilated, and their tastes are different from those in other Chinese-speaking areas.

The secretary's voice was much quieter, ""Hurricane Rescue 2 was yesterday's highest-grossing movie, then Hollywood's "Ghost Mother", then two Tyrande movies, and finally "Happy Family 2009". ”

Huang Baiyu didn't expect that "Hurricane Rescue 2" could be so awesome in Tyrande, and it could also suppress two new local movies.

He then realized that except for Hong Kong Island and Wanwan, "Happy Family 2009" could not beat "Hurricane Rescue 2" in other places.

And the reason why they were able to beat "Hurricane Rescue 2" in Bend was because Bend was not introduced.

He poured himself a cup of tea to calm himself down, and also to give himself enough strength to meet the next message.

"What about in the hinterland? How's it going?"

Although Hong Kong Island got 2.8 million on the first day and became the top box office movie in Japan, this result is not comparable to Huang Baiyu's ideal results.

The premiere day was more than 2 million, and the final box office was more than 20 million.

and the thirty or forty million he expected, the gap is quite large.

"Happy Family 2009" wants to return to its original cost, but it still needs to be harvested in the mainland.

"We were 8.2 million on the first day, ranking second, and in Guangdong Province, we were the daily box office champion."

The secretary was secretive about what he said, and Huang Baiyu rolled his eyes, "Talk about the results of "Hurricane Rescue 2". ”

"Hurricane Rescue 2 had 17 million on its first day, twice as many as ours."

Huang Baiyan was mentally prepared, sighed secretly, and then said calmly: "It's okay, let our people hype it on the mainland Internet, just say that we are the daily box office champion of Hong Kong Island, Wanwan, and Guangdong Province." ”

“……”

The secretary didn't immediately reply.

"Did you hear that?"

"Got it, boss, do you really want to hype up this topic?"

"Any questions?"

"I don't think it's very good, there is a lot of news in the mainland now, saying that "Hurricane Rescue 2" is in a beautiful country, and in many European countries, it has won the daily box office championship, and it got 18 million US dollars on the first day in a beautiful country, surpassing several Hollywood movies, Julie, Pete, and Xiao Lizi, many stars say that this movie is very good, and it really exploded in the beautiful country."

The secretary's voice rang out, "We're shabby by comparison. ”

Only then did Huang Baiyan understand what the secretary meant, but he didn't expect that "Hurricane Rescue 2" would be so good.

"Not only in the beautiful country, but also in Europe?"

"Yes, you can check the news, this movie is very popular in Europe and the United States, and I also called my friend in the UK, and he also said that many people will watch it."

"Such a powerful ......"

Huang Baiyan thought for a while, "Then change the topic and say that we are the most powerful comedy in the Spring Festival." ”

After a while, Huang Baiyan hung up the phone, and there were bursts of suona sounds outside this world, and I didn't know who wanted to worship God.

Huang Baiyan suddenly wanted to worship God, begging God to let him get into the wealth of "Hurricane Rescue 2".

In the beautiful country, it is 18 million a day, and it has also exploded in Europe, and the total global box office is only more than 300 million US dollars.

Lee Shengyao can make a lot of money again, which is really something that Hong Kong Island filmmakers can't think of.

In the past, when Cheng Long was on Hong Kong Island, Golden Harvest was released worldwide, and the highest-grossing "Sweet Potato" was said to have tens of millions of US dollars.

At that time, the big guys thought it was incredible.

Unexpectedly, Director Li is even more fierce now, and he can cut three or four billion US dollars at every turn.

Although Huang Baiyu is in his sixties, when he was in the entertainment industry, Li Shengyao was not born yet, but I have to say that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and he is not comparable to Li Dadao.

He is a real global harvest, and he can only bend and be strong on Hong Kong Island.
