Longteng Cinema Line Headquarters.

"Hello Mr. Joe."

"Mr. Joe's morning."

"Mr. Joe...."

................

Qiao Feng smiled and nodded his head in response, until he arrived at the general manager's office to usher in the last greeting.

"Mr. Joe came early." Lion-headed Cen Jianxun stood up and smiled when he saw Qiao Feng coming in.

"It's not early, I started jet lag when I came back yesterday, and I slept for more than ten hours." Qiao Feng shook his head helplessly.Every time he goes to the United States, jet lag is the most uncomfortable for him.

"I know this too." Cen Jianxun nodded in agreement.

"How is the box office situation recently, is there a big hit on New Year's Day?" After chatting for a few words, Qiao Feng went straight to the point and asked.

Cen Jianxun shook his head.

"How's it going?" Qiao Feng frowned.

The situation in Hong Kong is different from that in the United States, where the film market cools down after September and the awards season begins, while the television market starts to bustle.

This is a tacit understanding between American TV and film, in the summer season when movies are more lively, TV stations basically do not broadcast elaborate dramas, and from October to March and April of the following year during the awards season, large-investment movies will basically not get involved.

During this time, that is, Christmas, there will be several movies with relatively large investment will be released.

Of course, this is just the basic situation, there are also big investments, and the investors have high expectations that the movie will be released in such a cold schedule, and the box office is very good.

But there may not be one that year, so it won't have much impact on the ratings of the TV station.

But there is no such tacit understanding on the Hong Kong side.

Whether it is wireless or ATV, there will be well-made TV series released throughout the year, and it doesn't matter what schedule the film market is hot and when it is not.

In the film market, because there are more holidays, the movies in Hong Kong will not be basically gathered in the summer of May, June, July, August and September like American movies.

Instead, there is an extra Spring Festival file, and the other is the New Year's Day file.

And because the New Year's Day file is only a few days before and after the Christmas file, this schedule is a little more popular than the American side.

So, generally speaking, there will always be one or two movies that are still good at the box office at this time of year, although it is unlikely to enter the top ten of the annual box office list, but there are still some in the top twenty.

But looking at Cen Jianxun's appearance, it seems that there is not even a movie like this on New Year's Day.

Sure enough, I heard Cen Jianxun shake his head and then said: "It's not good, it's quite bad.So far, whether it was just released in January or released in December before, it has to be painted now, and there is not even a film with a box office of more than 10 million, and the best situation is BB30 starring Ah B and Dudu, but it is only 8 million box office."

After Cen Jianxun's careful introduction, Qiao Feng finally knew how cold this New Year's Day file was.

There are basically no big-budget movies released in the month before and after, and several big film companies, that is, Golden Harvest, released a Mr. Daredevil in December, if you want to talk about the lineup, the more Mr. Daredevil lineup is not bad.

The actor Zhang Jianting, filming cousin, hello, that, not only a well-known director but also a well-known actor.

And the heroine Li Saifeng, not to mention, Hong Kong's first-line actress came.

The supporting roles include Lou Nanguang and Chen You, both of whom are very well-known.

Director Liu Guanwei is also a well-known director.

But it's a pity that this film horror drama is not scary, it's not funny to say it's a comedy, I don't know what I want to talk about, it's completely different.

Naturally, a good lineup is difficult to save the bad plot, the box office is definitely not much better, and there are still two days to go, but the box office has just exceeded four million.

Qiao Feng estimates that four million may not even be able to recover the production cost, and relying on the box office alone, this film will lose money.

That is, relying on the income of offline video tapes and the share of the theater chain, Golden Harvest can also make a small profit.

Then there is BB30 starring Zhong Zhentao and Zheng Yuling.

The box office of this comedy is okay, produced by Huang Baiming's Oriental Film Company, the male and female protagonists are all first-line, although the supporting actress Guan Xiumei did not get a good ranking in Hong Kong, but at this time, Guan Xiumei, who is still taking the pure route, looks good, has a hot figure, and can also attract a group of audiences.

Director Xian Qiran is obviously best at this kind of urban light comedy, the rhythm of the whole film is very good, and the contradictions and jokes are well controlled.

So although the plot is relatively old-fashioned, it can still attract a loyal audience of comedy.

This film is also the most eye-catching box office performance so far, but it is only 8 million.

And it is also facing the next picture, and it is estimated that the box office of nine million is out of play.

In addition to these two films that were released before New Year's Day, there are only two films that have just been released after New Year's Day and are barely okay at the box office.

And then these two films are not all produced by big studios.

One of them is Tiandi Xuanmen produced by Golden Harvest, while the other is a film company called Eagle Film Production Company, which was established after the establishment of Xinbao Cinema Line.

One of the owners of this company is the well-known screenwriter and writer Huang Ying.

However, Huang Ying is only one of the bosses, the biggest boss of this company is actually someone else, Huang Ying was just recruited and pushed to the front of the stage because of the screenwriter's talent.

Because of this, the movies produced by this company have always been released in Xinbao Cinemas.

There is no way, the investment in the film is not large, and the shooting is not good, and it turns out that there are external funds in it, and it wants to compete with Longteng Cinemas, so Longteng Cinemas will not let their movies be released in Longteng Cinemas at all.

This is after Xinbao Cinema Line could not be opened, and external funds were also withdrawn, and the film company was allowed to schedule films in Longteng Cinemas.

Let's talk about Golden Harvest's films first, whether the quality is good or not, anyway, the lineup will not be bad.

This was the case with Mr. Daredevil before, and the same is true of this Heaven and Earth Xuanmen, which is even more luxurious.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Xuxian alone has topped Zhang Jianting and Li Saifeng.

Not to mention that there is also Uncle Ying Lin Zhengying as the male lead, and it is a ghost action movie.

Wang Xuxian's ancient costume is really needless to say, playing a fairy with fluttering clothes is really intoxicating.

But Wang Xuxian's charm alone can't save the same bad plot.

After its release, some newspapers commented that this Heaven and Earth Xuanmen is the worst ghost movie Lin Zhengying has ever made.

Worse than Zombie Supreme.

Although the zombie supreme does not have Wang Xuxian, there is Wu Jiali.

Wu Jiali is not as good-looking as Wang Xuxian, but people are as tempting as Wang Xiaofeng when they play female ghosts.

And although the plot is not good, the zombie supreme family is at least willing to spend money on the scene.

When this drama was promoted, it was said that it was the second special effects blockbuster in Hong Kong after Xu Ke's new Shushan Swordsman.

Although this kind of publicity is exaggerated a lot, and the investment is far behind, the large-scale special effects in it are indeed rare in Hong Kong movies.

Like the senior brother inside, the part where the group of corpses attacked Lin Zhengying is simply a copy of European and American zombie movies.

And then there was no then.

Compared with the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth, the zombie supreme, that is, the special effects scene, is also worth watching.

And it is the brilliance of this special effect that makes the box office of Zombie Supreme tens of thousands ahead of the Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth.

Well, that's tens of thousands.

The result of such a large investment in special effects scenes is to lead the box office of tens of thousands of dollars.

From here, it can be seen how charming Wang Xuxian is, it can almost be said that he has narrowed the box office gap between the worse Heaven and Earth Xuanmen and the zombie supreme with good special effects scenes.

Although these two movies look at the situation, the final box office is around six or seven million.

But looking at this alone, Golden Harvest is really not a loss to spend a lot of money to invite Wang Xuxian, at least Wang Xuxian's salary is much less than the investment in special effects.

Wang Qixian can carry the box office Qiao Feng is happy for her from the bottom of his heart, but he is really not happy in the face of such a cold New Year's Day file.

"How about the Spring Festival schedule?"

Qiao Feng asked, he could only hope that the Spring Festival stall would be a little stronger.
