Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Being able to trust Bao Shaogang so much is indeed something that makes Shi Tian and the others happy.

But this task is not so difficult, or it can be said that it is basically impossible to complete.

Although so far, they don't know what the box office performance of "Teppanyaki" will be today.

However, judging from yesterday's drop, even if it doesn't drop much today, it will definitely be ahead of "Best Partner", it just depends on how far ahead it is.

"Master Bao, I think it is almost impossible to turn around the box office at this time."

The movies have already been released, and there is no very effective way to reverse the decline at this time.

Shi Tian looked at Bao Shaogang with an embarrassed look on his face. He knew that after he said this, the other party would definitely be very angry, but he had to say it.

"Publicity, vigorous publicity, newspapers, magazines, TV stations, anywhere that can promote this drama, give me vigorous publicity. Don't worry about money."

Spending money on publicity is the simplest and most efficient way.

"We have always been doing this."

Shi Wenyan reminded Bao Shaogang from the side.

"Then the intensity will be greater than before. In the future, I will see the promotion of "Teppanyaki" on the front pages of newspapers."

Bao Shaogang is now in a state of hysteria. He just wants "Teppanyaki" to win over "Best Partner".

Although Shi Wenyan did not dare to refuse Bao Shaogang's request, even if he spent money like this, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands more.

But the good thing is that this money is nothing to Bao Shaogang.

Let alone hundreds of thousands, even if it costs several million, if it can be exchanged for final victory, he will not hesitate to spend the money.

"In addition, I asked the Baojia Cinemas to show all "Teppanyaki" and cut down the number of other movies."

Bao Shaogang didn't say anything about canceling other movie screenings, which is already considered a good thing.

After leaving the conference room, the expressions on the faces of Shi Tian and others did not look relaxed at all, but looked very serious.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Shi Tian didn't want to discuss things here, he planned to talk after he went back.

After they returned to Shi Tian's residence, Shi Nansheng also rushed over from home.

When she learned about Bao Shaogang's measures, Shi Nansheng also had a sad look on his face.

"The fundamental problem is that Teppanyaki cannot attract more viewers. Although it may help the box office in the early stage, it may suffer an exaggerated decline later."

Shi Nansheng is worried that if this arrangement is really made, the box office of "Teppanyaki" may not drop too sharply in the first few days.

But after the second week, there may be no way to stop the decline.

It can be said that Bao Shao just used all the means at once, which was really not a wise choice.

"We also knew this would happen, but Mr. Bao simply can't listen to other people's advice."

Tsui Hark also looked very irritable when he was talking.

If the drama "Teppanyaki" fails, it won't affect him immediately.

But if "New Shushan Swordsman" hits the market by then, then they will definitely be kicked out by Bao Shaogang.

"Forget it, Mr. Bao has said so. If we don't do it, we have to do it. I'll contact the newspaper and decide on the front page for the next few days."

Zeng Zhiwei didn't have any good solution. He could only follow what Bao Shaogang said and decide on the front page of the newspaper first.

As for the negotiations between the magazine and the TV station, it was left to Shi Nansheng.

As for arranging the movie schedule, that was Shi Wenyan's responsibility and had nothing to do with the three of them.

…………

Early the next morning, Lin Daoqiu rarely stayed in bed today, but came to New Oriental's office on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

"Boss, these are the box office results of "The Best Partner" and "Teppanyaki" yesterday."

Fang Jinsheng looked beaming with joy.

Lin Daoqiu knew without watching that "Teppanyaki" must have dropped, otherwise Fang Jinsheng would not be so happy.

When he took a look at the box office results, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Two million one million versus two million seven million? It's really interesting."

"The Best of Us" still maintains its box office results from two days ago.

The benefits of the Spring Festival are reflected here. During the Chinese New Year, watching movies for entertainment has become a thing that everyone has gradually accepted.

There are many people here who have seen it several times and continue to buy tickets to enter.

But this is also due to the film quality of "The Best Partner" and the appeal of its stars.

Looking back at the situation at "Teppanyaki", it was obviously even worse than the day before.

It dropped from 3.4 million to 2.5 million, and then to 2.1 million today.

"The Best Partner" has overtaken "Teppanyaki" in terms of box office performance.

This is probably what everyone could have expected after the box office results of the two dramas were released on the first day.

"According to the feedback of viewers who have watched "Teppanyaki", that drama is too different from Xu Guanwen's previous works, and the star cast is not strong enough, so there are few repeat customers."

Fang Jinsheng naturally went to inquire why the box office performance of "Teppanyaki" was so poor.

And the things he inquired about were almost the same as what Zeng Zhiwei had inquired about before.

"Sometimes once the audience gets used to something, suddenly making drastic changes is asking for death."

Xu Guanwen is definitely the master of comedy in the Hong Kong film industry at this time.

This can be seen from the fact that "Teppanyaki" was able to take in a box office of 3.4 million on the first day.

However, because his name is so famous, the audience began to pick up a magnifying glass to examine his works.

If Xu Guanwen's work is no better or less funny than before, most viewers still won't buy it.

"Boss, I heard that Bao Shaogang has bought the front pages of newspapers and magazines during this period, and the TV station's promotions are also going on at the same time."

Bao Shaogang's purpose in doing this is actually to restore the decline of "Teppanyaki".

This is human nature, and Lin Daoqiu can understand it, but he does not approve of this approach.

"After all, the movie must let the film work speak for itself. If there are too many external means, it may not be a good thing for "Teppanyaki"."

Proper publicity and marketing are necessary, but if a film does not rely on the movie itself, but only relies on publicity and marketing, it may be able to create a good scene at the beginning.

However, the audience is not fools, everyone has to spend real money to buy tickets at the box office.

Once they discovered that the drama was completely different from what was described in the propaganda, it was already too late to try to save it.
