Rebirth of Xiangjiang Hidden Behind the Scenes

Chapter 31 Unexpected

On February 5th, the movie "Junior" produced by Golden Harvest Film Company and starring Jackie Chan was promoted during the commercial time of Li's TV station.

Similar to the movies "Modern Bodyguard" and "Chasing Girls", highlights are edited and played.

Relatively speaking, Jiahe is richer and richer. It was replayed ten times throughout the day, making it even more popular than the original "Modern Bodyguard". The most important thing is that this movie is the most popular action movie type among local movie fans in Hong Kong!

Suddenly, Jiahe and Jackie Chan became the focus of media attention.

In the blink of an eye, it’s February 6th.

Jiahe's promotion of the movie "Junior" not only did not decrease, but also intensified. Even at noon, news suddenly came out that a midnight screening of the movie would be held tomorrow night.

When Su Cheng heard the news, he didn't have a trace of worry. Instead, he shook his head and laughed. He originally thought that Jiahe was very courageous, but he didn't expect that he would be a "deserter". After all, he was not confident!

In this case, why use their usual propaganda method?

The reason why later generations promoted movies in this way, and even used movie theme songs, was to create a sense of mystery, tension, excitement, and fans' desire for discovery.

But when the midnight show came, these moments were gone.

However, after all, current movie fans are not as "high-minded" as later generations. Perhaps, a promotion model like Golden Harvest will make the box office soar.

But Su Cheng believes that even if "Junior Brother" is successful, it may be impossible to surpass the box office of "Modern Bodyguard". Presumably, it is unknown whether it can surpass "Chasing Girls".

Why? It’s all because the release date of “Junior Brother” is more than a week longer than that of “Chasing Girls”!

However, in the present moment, who wins and who loses depends entirely on God’s will!

…

On February 9, "Junior Brother Goes Out" was released as scheduled at Jiahe Cinema.

Although he had watched this movie in his previous life, he had very few memories of it. Due to Uncle Wu's suggestion, Su Cheng took Liu Qing and Xiao Amin to a theater closer to their home.

Since the tickets had already been purchased, they entered the cinema without waiting long.

Not to mention, whether it’s Jiahe’s recent publicity or Jackie Chan’s popularity, in short, this “premiere” was a complete success. The attendance rate was full.

After a while, the movie officially started.

First, it was a lion dance duel. When the Zhengfeng Martial Arts Hall represented by Jackie Chan lost the competition. In addition, after the inside story was exposed that the person who competed in place of the opponent turned out to be their senior brother, their master, who was also the gym director, became furious.

angry.

First, the senior brother left the martial arts gym in anger, and then the junior brother played by Jackie Chan became angry and angry, and also left angrily.

In order to survive, the senior brother actually joined the gangsters to rob the prison car and rescued the golden leg belt.

Jackie Chan is looking for his senior brother, and on the way he meets his fourth brother, played by Yuen Biao, and Sangong and his family. Since several of them are martial arts masters, Jackie Chan also learned a lot of new kung fu, including the "skirt kung fu".

When fighting against several villains, he also used it flexibly, resulting in a major defeat of his opponents.

Overall, it gives Su Cheng an action comedy that has yet to break away from the martial arts routine.

The reason why I say this is because the action moves are relatively tough. Compared with more mature films such as "The Five", "Food Truck" and "Police Story" starring Jackie Chan, there is a huge difference!

Glancing at the fans who occasionally clapped and shouted "Good!", "Enjoyable", "That's it!", Su Cheng knew that even if the film's flaws were very prominent, the audience would still praise it if they liked it.

At least, the box office can be guaranteed!

…

The next day.

When it was reported that the premiere box office of the movie "Junior" reached 430,000 Hong Kong dollars, it shocked a lot of people.

You know, the original movie "Modern Bodyguard" cost less than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars! Is this another movie worth more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars?

Is the Hong Kong film market about to rise?

However, just as they were celebrating, Su Cheng sat on the sofa at home and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he sighed and said, "I'm afraid I don't have enough stamina!"

If there was only one "Junior Brother" released, perhaps the box office this time would be higher than what he knew in his previous life. Unfortunately, there are currently "Modern Bodyguard" and "Chasing Girls" showing in theaters!

"Junior Brother Goes Out" wants to win the championship, but there is little hope.

What's more, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has now reached a total of HK$13.78 million. (It was released for 23 days.) The box office of "Chasing Girls" has been a total of HK$5.11 million. (It was released for 9 days.)

It's so difficult to catch up with "Junior Brother Goes Out"!

Just when Su Cheng was lost in thought, Liang Shuyi called and said, "Boss, Wireless is pressing me again. They have already bid 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized. Maybe it was because of Jiahe's "Junior Brother Goes Out" that Shao Yifu felt threatened. The one he wanted to suppress now was Jiahe, fearing that

If you delay any longer, something unexpected will happen.

Furthermore, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has almost reached 14 million Hong Kong dollars. Even if you pay 10 million Hong Kong dollars, you will still make money by then. This amount can be calculated.

And such a movie can bring more than just profit to Shaw Brothers. Perhaps, it can also allow distribution companies to package up and take away many of their Shaw Brothers films. Wouldn't this be another big profit?

After thinking about it, I felt that the price was neither too high nor too low. Su Cheng said: "Then we will sign the contract at this price. However, Manager Liang, there is an actress named Hui Hongying in Shaw Brothers. She is a rare actress.

She is an actress who works in action dramas. Before she can make a fortune in Shaw Brothers, try to sign her as much as possible."

The current Tengyue Entertainment company's artists are very lacking in such action movie stars. This is one of the reasons why Su Cheng tapped Sammo Hung. As for female stars, it is even more rare. For example, Brigitte Lin, Michelle Yeoh, Hui Hongying, Zhang Peipei, Yuan Yuan

Qiu and a few others.

Brigitte Lin is flourishing in Bay Island and will not come to Hong Kong for the time being. Michelle Yeoh is still studying abroad. After Zhang Peipei got married, she withdrew from the film industry. Yuen Qiu is the senior sister of Sammo Hung and others. When the Hung family class is captured, she will

It's not too late to invite. In this way, only Hui Hongying is left, who is currently in Shaw Brothers and is not famous for "The Elders"!

Although she didn’t know who this Hui Hongying was, since she was an artist admired by her boss Su Cheng, Liang Shuyi naturally nodded and said: "Okay, boss! I will definitely handle this matter!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Cheng smiled faintly. It seemed that his original move was right. Cooperate with Shaw Brothers and let him and Golden Harvest continue to confront each other. In this way, their Tengyue Entertainment Company can develop rapidly.
