Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

If there is no "Master Qian" in the May schedule, the highest box office will be Shaw Brothers' "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2".

This movie starring Fu Sheng and Guo Youhua took in 1.5 million at the box office and became the box office champion of the month.

However, in the total box office rankings in 1978, this sequel to The Condor Shooting only ranked 32nd at the time.

Today is the first day for the release of "The Condor" starring Guo Youhua. I don't know if it was influenced by "Master Qian", but the cast of "The Condor" also appeared on "Happy Tonight" to promote it. In addition to the starring role, even the main supporting actors

Up.

It seems that Fang Yihua does not intend to let "Master Qian" pass easily.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're worried." Hui Yinghong, who plays Mu Nianci, also attended the premiere.

"I'm fine." Guo Youhua quickly shook his head.

Although Guo Youhua said it was fine, in his heart he was always worried about the situation in "Master Qian". This time, Shaw Brothers made great efforts to defeat "Master Qian".

Originally, the combination of Chang Cheh and Ni Kuang has always been a box office guarantee, but unfortunately, as martial arts movies have been declining, even a gold medal combination like them cannot reverse it.

"Well done to you. You are starring in both dramas. This time one of them will be a big hit, and you will become famous in one fell swoop." Hui Yinghong looked envious.

Hui Yinghong was originally selected by Wu Ma, who was the assistant director to Zhang Che, to play the role of Mu Nianci in the Condor Shooting. At that time, her monthly salary was only 500 yuan.

Before, she could have earned one thousand when she danced in a ballroom, but only five hundred when she became an actress. The mother and daughter even quarreled over this matter, but with the encouragement of her father, Hui Yinghong survived.

Now she can earn 1,500 yuan a month, but if compared with Guo Youhua, Hui Yinghong feels that she is still far behind.

The other party is now the heroine of two movies, and she can only play a supporting role in the movie. Hui Yinghong feels helpless when she thinks about this.

Fortunately, she had been used to suffering since she was a child, and knew that success was not something that could be obtained casually, so after clearing her mind, the smile returned to her face.

"Actually, I don't know what happened. Maybe it's just good luck." Guo Youhua still doesn't know why Lin Daoqiu chose him as the heroine.

Ever since the wedding banquet sent him home that day, Guo Youhua has not looked for Lin Daoqiu until now, and the other party has not looked for her either.

I thought I could think clearly, but I don't know why whenever I heard the news about "Master Qian" these days, Lin Daoqiu would appear in Guo Youhua's mind unconsciously.

"Wow... there are so many people." Hui Yinghong suddenly called out, and Guo Youhua woke up from his wild thoughts.

This time, 16 theaters in the Shaw Theater chain were screening "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at the same time, while "Master Qian" was only screened in eight theaters.

At this time, there was a long queue of people at the entrance of the cinema. Not only because today is the weekend, but also because there are two highly promoted movies that are about to be released, which attracted so many viewers.

"It seems that our movie will definitely be a hit." Hui Yinghong has not been filming for a long time. This is the first time she has seen such a long queue. If you want to compare, only the new movie of the Xu brothers has been released.

Only then did such a scene occur.

Entering the theater, Guo Youhua found that the theater was already full. If things continue like this, The Condor will definitely have a good box office.

At this time, in Fang Yihua's office, the box office results of The Condor were being continuously sent to her. The performance of The Condor was pretty good. The attendance rates of the four major leading theaters were all around 90%, and the other twelve theaters were also good.

Reached 80%.

If this momentum continues, the box office of The Condor can reach 500,000 on the first day, and then gradually decline, and it will be at least 3 to 4 million when it is released in two weeks.

"How is the situation of that drama?" While Fang Yihua was paying attention to the Condor Shooting, he was also keeping an eye on the situation of "Master Qian".

She heard that Jiahe's side was only allocated to eight theaters for the show, and there was only one leading theater among the eight on her side. Thinking about it, it would have to be an extraordinary performance.

"Based on what we can gather so far..." Shi Wenyan looked confused. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said: "The whole line is full."

Fang Yihua, who was originally in a good mood, raised her head and looked at Shi Wenyan in surprise when she heard that "Master Qian" was all sold out.

At the same time, in Jiahe on the other side, the same situation was also shown, but the surprised person was replaced by He Guanchang.

"Could it be that there are too few theaters assigned to it, which leads to the situation that the theaters are full?" He Guanchang thinks it may be because "Master Qian" is only assigned to eight theaters, so the situation is full.

He has never seen the play "Master Qian" until now. He just asked people to investigate Lin Daoqiu's situation. If He Guanchang spared a little time to watch "Master Qian", he would probably

I no longer think so.

Zou Wenhuai looked at He Guanchang with a stern face. In his opinion, the other party's remarks were obviously unfounded, because in the other Shaw Brothers theater chain, "Master Qian" also had a full house.

"From now on, "Master Qian" will be released across the board, and all the movies that don't have a box office will be de-edited." Zou Wenhuai is going to de-censor those movies that don't have a box office, and allocate them to "Master Qian."

"I know, I'll deal with it right away." He Guanchang no longer dared to think about those messy things at this time. After all, one of their purposes in opening a theater chain and a movie company is to make money, and they will never push the money out.

This time, He Guanchang looked away because of his own selfishness. Although Zou Wenhuai would not say anything on the surface, it did not mean that He Guanchang could pretend that nothing happened.

"Guanchang, sometimes people can't be too prejudiced. At first, everyone was not optimistic that we, Jiahe, could stand up under the pressure of Shaw Brothers, but we still managed to survive. You can't make the same mistake as them."

Before He Guanchang left, Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but remind him not to become arrogant just because he was in a high position.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zou, I will definitely remember the lesson learned this time." He Guanchang nodded quickly, then turned and left Zou Wenhuai's office.

For some reason, when Zou Wenhuai received a positive reply from the other party, his face showed a helpless expression, and he finally shook his head.

After coming out of the theater, Lin Daoqiu had to meet Feilong and others, so he said goodbye to Zhang Zuming at the door, and then found the Southeast brothers nearby.

"What's wrong? You are still staring at me now. Are you still afraid that I will run away?" Lin Daoqiu teased the two of them in a rare good mood.

"Mr. Lin is joking, we are here to protect you sincerely." A Dong quickly explained.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, neither of them would have believed that a young man who had just swam from the mainland had completed a movie in just one month, and was able to have a Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest duplex

reflect.

If these are nothing, according to the news they just heard, "Master Qian" has been sold out in all the theaters where it was shown. No matter which one is seen alone, it is enough to make people jaw-dropping.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go see what the situation is like now." Lin Daoqiu patted the two of them on the shoulders and followed them out of the theater. At this time, Feilong was waiting for him at Jiahe.
