Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 147 Fierce competition for box office

Su Zhai.

Uncle Wu walked into Su Cheng's study and whispered: "Master, will you go to Mr. Dong's funeral?"

Waving his hand, Su Cheng said: "I have to ask Uncle Wu to help me with this matter."

"Okay, I'll go then!"

After Uncle Wu left, Su Chengjing sat there and fell into deep thought. Some time ago, Dong Haoyun, known as one of the "Seven Ship Kings in the World", passed away due to illness.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Su Cheng. But Wu Guangzheng called and asked a representative of the Su family to come over.

Firstly, this Dong Haoyun is a Hong Kong native who ranks second only to Pao Yugang among the world's seven major shipping kings. He has a great reputation. Secondly, he himself belongs to the pro-inland faction. He is still hanging in Hong Kong

Holding public office.

After Dong Haoyun died unexpectedly, his son Tung Chee Hwa inherited his father's legacy. If not for this, their family's Oriental Offshore Group would not have received funding from "model worker businessman" Fok Yingdong.

Although the Falklands War has not yet subsided, there is already a trend of "taking the vanguard". In addition, Su Cheng founded an entertainment company, and establishing a relationship with the mainland has more advantages than disadvantages. It will not suffer the same fate as the two

Something big banks are targeting emerges.

Who said that the hinterland is communist, while the mainland of Xiangjiang is close to "capitalism"! Without backing support, how long can the Pan family and the Li family be crazy?

Just go and go! Su Cheng doesn't have any psychological burden. Even if this incident has a minimal impact on him.

…

On the third day after the broadcast of "Eternal Dragon Sword", Tengyue Cinema and Jiahe Cinema jointly released the movie "Detective Chocolate" produced by Tengyue. At this time, Yindu Agency also completed the sequel to "Shaolin Temple" "Shaolin Boy"

》.

It will still be screened in cooperation with Tengyue Cinemas.

Since there was no TV series with over-rated ratings to stop it this time, the popularity of "Detective Chocolate" was instantly suppressed.

In just five days, it achieved a record box office of HK$8.73 million.

As a result, the film "Chocolate", even starring Ng Mang-tat, has only accumulated a box office of 12.64 million Hong Kong dollars. If we don't think of a way, the expected box office of breaking 20 million Hong Kong dollars will be extremely dangerous.

At this time, New Art City, led by Huang Baiming, came up with a movie called "Happy Reunion". Once it was released, its single-day box office exceeded "Chocolate" and "Shaolin Boys" in three days.

, it grossed HK$5.24 million at the box office. Its momentum has not dropped at all.

Three movie companies are competing, making the box office market even more bizarre and difficult to distinguish.

Before "Happy Reunion" could continue to develop, Xiang Huaqiang also stepped in. After only one day of promotion, "Young and Dangerous" written by Su Cheng was released in theaters.

Due to the fact that this kind of pure black film rarely appears in the Hong Kong film market, coupled with the large number of people and the influence of Sun Ngee Ann, the box office reached a crazy 1.53 million Hong Kong dollars on the opening day alone.

Breaking the record for the highest opening box office in Hong Kong in one fell swoop!

On the second day, the box office jumped to 2.16 million Hong Kong dollars. As a result, "Young and Dangerous" broke the record for the highest single-day box office in Hong Kong.

Each of the four films is more powerful than the last. But the film market is so big, there has to be something high and something low!

On the 5th day after "Young and Dangerous" was released, the first one to be released was "Chocolate", with a box office total of only HK$17.15 million. Three days later, "Shaolin Boys" also followed suit, with a box office total of HK$16.85 million.

.

These two powerful movies have withdrawn, but the box office of "Happy Reunion" and "Young and Dangerous" has not declined as a result. On the contrary, there is a faint trend of rising.

This makes everyone unable to understand the fluctuations and changes in the box office market this time.

During this period of time, Tengyue Entertainment did not continue to release its second film. Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers, and other film companies have temporarily ceased operations. They are waiting for all these films to be released before releasing their films.

Otherwise, if it is released, it will be cannon fodder.

The gain outweighs the loss!

While several film companies here in Hong Kong are vying for the lead, in Hollywood, "Shaolin Temple" has already been put into production, with a total box office of 23.15 million US dollars in North America.

The film "The Story of Hachiko" jointly produced by Tengyue, Jiahe and Dingsheng Film Companies was also released. Due to the continuous expansion of Tengyue cinemas, the film's premiere box office surged again, reaching

14.18 million US dollars.

By the next day, it had risen again, reaching $20.58 million.

However, starting from the third day, the box office dropped to only 17.47 million U.S. dollars. After a week, it accumulated to 73.62 million U.S. dollars. It can be seen that the subsequent box office results were indeed not very satisfactory.

However, the cost of this film is not high, less than 8 million US dollars. After the box office is divided, it is considered a big profit.

In Xiangjiang, the actor Tony Leung Ka Fai, who was filming the movie "The Story of Hachiko", has not returned yet. The director Wang Jing, who was filming "Home Alone", came back first.

"Boss, long time no see!" Su Cheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this in Tengyue Entertainment Company's office. It's indeed been a long time. It must have been more than half a year!

Although "Home Alone" is a comedy and looks easy to shoot, it is not that easy to actually direct it into a Hollywood classic according to the script. Wang Jing also spent a lot of time and study to make this movie.

This video was shot in compliance with Su Cheng’s review.

It is a Hollywood film that he completed independently, which is amazing! With this experience, if he directs similar films in the future, it will be different from when he directed "Back to the Future". At that time, the assistant director had to be in charge.

.

"What are you going to do next?" Su Cheng asked.

"Home Alone" is currently in post-production, and many tasks do not require Wang Jing to keep an eye on it. Besides, if it is released, it will not be that early. At least, it will have to wait until "Die Hard" is finished.

Wang Jing smiled and said: "Let's continue filming the two unfinished series."

Hearing this, Su Cheng then remembered that their Tengyue Entertainment company had left many series that had not been filmed yet! One was "Happy Ghost 3", one was "Chasing Girls 2", and one was "The Best"

"Partner 2", one is "Five Lucky Stars 2", which is also "Lucky Stars Shine High". The third one is "Summer Lucky Stars".

In addition to these four movies, there is also "Royal Senior Sister 2".

Hollywood's "Back to the Future 2".

And so on.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng smiled and said: "Since you want to shoot "Chasing Girl 2" and "Best Partner 2", please notify us and finish the other series as well. Especially "Happy Ghost 3" and

"Royal Senior Sister 2" these two parts."

"Okay, boss!"
