Chapter 759: Shame if you don't succeed
"There are long queues outside the two theaters, I see that this time Boss Zou, you, Mr. Lei, you all miscalculated." In Qiao Feng's office, Wang Jing said worriedly.
Qiao Feng looked at Wang Jing and didn't speak, because Wang Jing didn't know how many times he had said this today.
He said this when he called him at noon, and Wang Jing made a few phone calls in the afternoon, and simply came to the company in the evening.
Qiao Feng was going to be annoyed to death by him.
But Qiao Feng couldn't say anything, he knew that Wang Jing was the reason why the pressure was too much.
This time, the rich corps was pushed out to fight in the ring with the three-person new world, and everyone was under a lot of pressure.
Because although it is not bragging, this menacing posture has been put out, one is the giant of the largest cinema chain and several of the largest film companies, and the other is the small shrimp of the combination of Xinbao Cinema Line, which is known as a garbage containment station, and Debao Cinema Line, which is not in the limelight.
All Hong Kong people know that Long Teng is going to take down the new Bao Debao this time, and everyone also knows that the rich corps is used by Long Teng as a hole card.
If this kind of strength is underway, the three-person new world can still fight a tie with the rich corps, or even a tie, if you can fight a loss, it can be regarded as Longteng, Qiao Feng, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, these big guys have lost adults.
Naturally, as the main creators of the rich corps, they will definitely lose their lives.
In this situation of humiliation if it is not successful, Wang Jing, the screenwriter of the rich corps, is also known as the No. 1 commercial film director, and it would be hell if there was no pressure.
Besides, Wang Jing has an investment in the rich corps, and even his scripts are not paid, but are directly counted as investment.
Therefore, this is not only a matter of face, but also a question of votes, with the attributes of Wang Jing's family, tickets are more important than face.
"According to my observation today, the attendance rate of the three-person new world will not be worse than that of the rich and noble army, and it will definitely be full." Seeing that Qiao Feng didn't speak, Wang Jing began to sigh again.
"Okay, isn't that normal?" Qiao Feng rolled his eyes and said very indifferently: "Don't you look at what time it is today? The New Year will be in two days, everyone is idle, and some have time to watch movies.
Wang Jing only cares about filming on weekdays, and he feels a lot of things but is definitely not intuitive, but as the owner of the theater, Qiao Feng is in contact with a lot of data almost every day.
Anything else can lie, but the data doesn't lie.
In the ten years from Qiao Feng's crossing in 80 to the end of 89, Hong Kong's annual total box office rose from 180 million to 878 million, an increase of more than four times.
Of course, there must be an increase in the box office in this huge increase, but the ticket price in 80 was 8 yuan, and the ticket price in 89 was 24 yuan, and the increase was only three times.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen from here that the significant increase in the total box office in Hong Kong in recent years is largely due to the substantial growth of the entire film market and the number of moviegoers.
According to incomplete statistics, well, because a few years ago, several cinemas coexisted with Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and Golden Princess, and the data is somewhat inaccurate.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of moviegoers in '80 was more than 22 million, and in '89 it was 35 million.
This is still the number of moviegoers in '89 has dropped significantly, it was higher in '88, it was 45 million, and it was not low in '87, it was as much as 38 million.
The reason why the number of moviegoers in eight or nine years is lower than that in eight or seven years, and the total box office is lower.
Of course, it is because there were many quite good movies released in 87 and 88, but more factors are due to the impact of the stock market crash in 87 and 88.
On Black Monday in the U.S. stock market in October '87, the U.S. suffered huge losses, but Hong Kong's relative losses were even greater and lasted longer.
The huge impact of the stock market crash has tightened the finances of almost everyone in Hong Kong, who speculates in stocks.
According to the theory of the lipstick effect, because of the economic depression, Hong Kong people can mobilize much less funds than before, so they can't afford to spend large amounts, so they can only shift their consumption targets to low-cost products.
Because the stock market crash has caused everyone to lose a lot of money, Hong Kong citizens who don't have so much money will retaliate and spend money on low-cost entertainment life.
TV series with free TV series on wireless stations don't cost money, so naturally you can only spend money on movies that need to buy tickets.
Therefore, in 87 and 88, Hong Kong's annual total box office and the number of moviegoers exceeded that of the previous and subsequent years.
But because of this, the number of moviegoers in the past two years is not of much reference value.
Excluding the comprehensive analysis of the two years of 8788, the number of moviegoers of about 35 million is already the peak of the normal moviegoers that can be basically reached under the total population of Hong Kong at present.
Even if there is an occasional rise, as long as it does not encounter the situation of the 87 and 88 stock market crashes, the increase in the number of moviegoers will not be too much.
While the number of moviegoers in Hong Kong has increased year by year, from 22 million in the 80s to 35 million now, Hong Kong's cinemas have basically not grown much.
Shuangnan Cinema Line has basically not changed, Anle Cinema Line still has only those four, the other one, two independent small theaters are not counted, and the big mainstream cinema line is only Longteng Cinema Line and Xinbao Cinema Line.
As for the Longteng Cinema Line, it integrates the theaters of Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and Golden Princess, so there is basically no increase.
If you want to talk about the increase, that is, the establishment of the Xinbao Cinema Line has made Hong Kong have so many more cinemas, and it is not big.
In the 80s, when there were 22 million moviegoers, there were only a few theaters, and in 89, when there were 35 million moviegoers, there were still so few theaters, and the digestion capacity of the new small theaters was completely different from the growth of moviegoers.
In the case of not increasing the number of theaters, the total box office and the number of moviegoers have increased significantly, and the benefit is naturally every movie that can be released in theaters.
Not to mention the 80s, in 8485, there were dozens of movies with a box office of only a few hundred thousand, but in 89, there were only two movies with a box office of less than one million, the third-to-last box office was already more than 2 million, and the fourth-to-last box office was 34 million.
Four million, this box office will be able to compete for the top ten of the annual box office list ten years ago.
Therefore, Qiao Feng, who is very aware of these data, does not think it is strange that the attendance rate of the three-person new world is full under the encirclement and suppression of Longteng Cinema.
Because in the days before and after the Spring Festival, the number of people who have the demand to watch movies is far more than the total number of seats that the entire Hong Kong cinema can provide.
If you cut off those small theaters and Shuangnan Cinema Line, the bad movies released on the Anle Cinema Line, literary films are so good that many audiences don't like Western films and don't want to watch them, then people who have movie-watching needs will be higher than Longteng Cinemas and Xinbao Cinemas I don't know how many seats can provide.
Therefore, Qiao Feng is very calm, the few days before and after the Spring Festival are not the focus, the focus is to look at the situation of the more than ten days and twenty days after the Spring Festival.
