Chapter 14: Big Box Office Sales
8 month 25 number.

Hong Kong cinemas began showing "The Snake" and "The Wudang Heroes".

"Husband, what movie should we watch today?"

""The Snake-shaped Hand" is filmed by Zhang Jun, I am looking forward to it!"

"Zhang Jun? Is that the author of "Zhu Xian"?"

"That's right, it's him!"

"But I heard that the movie "The Serpentine Hand" was shoddy and finished after only 7 days of filming..."

"Believe me, this movie must be very interesting! You don't know, Zhang Jun is a top student in the directing department of the University of Southern California, and his father is also a director. Zhang Jun has been fascinated by it since he was a child, and making movies is not at all for him. It’s normal for him to shoot movies faster than others. I read in Sing Tao Daily that he is the fastest in writing books in Hong Kong, and he can write 5000 words per hour, breaking Ni Kuang’s record!”

"Okay, listen to you, let's watch "The Serpentine Hand"!"

A young couple had a discussion before heading to the Golden Harvest Cinema.

Zhang Jun has many book fans, especially among young people. As soon as "The Snake Shaped Hand" was released, many book fans rushed to Golden Harvest Cinema excitedly.

At this time, there was even a long queue outside the Golden Harvest Cinema.

At the same time, the Shaw Theater was also crowded with people.

Many people are looking forward to and curious about "Wudang Heroes" directed by Zhang Jun's father Zhang Zhenghao.

"Director Zhang Zhenghao is an old director. "Wudang Heroes" must be good. Only a fool would watch "Snake in the Shape of a Hand."

"That's right, "The Serpentine Hand" must have been shoddy, it was filmed to scam fans out of money, I won't be fooled!"

"..."

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, two films were released one after another.

Over there in "The Snake Shaped Hand", laughter continued.

"Wudang Heroes" was relatively dull, and the audience's response was mediocre.

At the entrance of the Golden Harvest Cinema, after the audience finished watching the movie, they started discussing unconsciously.

"The protagonists in "The Serpentine Hand" are so funny, especially the fighting scenes are so funny, you can't help but laugh out loud!"

"Yeah, it's so good. I didn't expect Zhang Jun to make such a great movie in just 7 days. It's amazing!"

"Well, Zhang Jun is a real cow, which is admirable!"

"It's beautiful, I want to watch it again."

"..."

"The Serpentine Hand" has a great reputation, and more and more movie fans are buying tickets.

At night, it's almost hard to get a ticket.

On the other hand, "Wudang Heroes", the film is not very good, the word of mouth is average, it is difficult to attract more people into the cinema to watch.

……

Zhang Jun and Zhang Zhenghao walked around the Golden Harvest Cinema a few times during the day, and saw that there were more fans who bought "Serpentine" and the reputation was relatively good. The stone in their hearts could not help but drop, and they finally felt relieved.

"Dad, according to our viewing, "The Serpentine Hand" is going to be popular!" Zhang Jun looked at Zhang Zhenghao and couldn't help laughing happily.Once the movie becomes popular, there will be a lot of money to be made!
Hearing this, Zhang Zhenghao also had a smile on his face, and nodded in response: "En!"

"Dad, I have already written more than half of "Drunken Master", you can start preparing the crew. In two days, we will go to Jiahe to see if we can get a part of the box office. If it doesn't work, we will Go to the bank for a loan."

"it is good."

While Zhang Jun and Zhang Zhenghao were talking, the senior management of Golden Harvest Film Company was also holding a meeting.

In the meeting room, Zou Wenhuai swept his eyes and said, "According to the statistics from the theater chain, "Serpentine Hands" has exploded in popularity and is very popular with the audience. The number of viewers in each show is increasing, and some theaters are even full. .”

After a slight pause, Zou Wenhuai asked, "What do you think of Zhang Zhenghao and Zhang Jun and his son?"

He Guanchong thought for a while, and said: "Zhang Jun is very talented, we should try our best to win him over, and the other thing is to try to get a stake in Zhang's Film Company!"

When the rest of the people heard the words, they also nodded in agreement.

"I support taking a stake in Zhang's Film Company!"

"Me too!"

"..."

At this time, He Guanchong said again: "In addition, we also need to pay attention to Cheng Long, I think he has the potential to become a Kung Fu comedy star! If possible, I would like to recruit him to our Golden Harvest Company!"

Zou Wenhuai frowned slightly: "I remember that this person has already signed a contract with Zhang's film company. Poaching him here may damage our relationship with Zhang's father and son. At present, I think Zhang's father and son are more important. As for Cheng Long This person, you need to get in touch with him first..."

"Okay." He Guanchang nodded.

Zou Wenhuai continued: "Let's call it quits. After the first-day box office statistics of "Serpentine Hands" come out, let me know as soon as I get back to work tomorrow!"

"Ok."

……

the next morning.

When Zou Wenhuai came to the office, a secretary soon brought the first-day box office data of "The Serpentine Hand" in front of him.

"The box office on the first day was 47 Hong Kong dollars!!!" Zou Wenhuai couldn't help shouting, his face was full of astonishment. The box office on the first day was too high, which made people unbelievable.

But it is reasonable to think about it carefully. On the one hand, there are too many fans of "Zhu Xian", and on the other hand, "Serpentine" has a good reputation, which triggered a frenzy of movie watching.

"How much is the box office of "Wudang Heroes" on the first day?" Zou Wenhuai asked the secretary.

"Around 28." The secretary replied.

After listening, Zou Wenhuai nodded with a smile and said, "Hehe, if this box office result is normal, it's actually not bad. But compared with "Snake in the Shape of a Hand", it's far behind."

The secretary said with a smile: "The audience is tired of watching old-fashioned kung fu movies, but the witty fighting scenes like "The Snake" are very popular. I estimate that the box office of "Snake" will be even higher today."

When Zou Wenhuai heard the words, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Looking at the situation, "The Snake" may get 600 million box office, maybe it can break the Hong Kong box office record..."

In the previous life, when "The Snake-shaped Hand" was released, Cheng Long didn't have much fame, and this movie didn't get much publicity, but it still achieved good box office results.And in this life, due to the halo bonus of Zhang Jun and "Zhu Xian", and Shaw's special hype for the father-son duo's PK, "Snake-shaped Diao Hand" has become a big hit before it is released, and it may really break Hong Kong's box office record .

"By the way, go and give Zhang Zhenghao and Zhang Jun a call and tell them the first-day box office of "The Serpentine Hand". They must be waiting impatiently!" Zou Wenhuai ordered with a smile.

"Well, okay, I'll make the call right away."

After a while, Zhang Jun received a call from Golden Harvest. He was extremely excited when he learned that the first-day box office of "The Snake" was 47 Hong Kong dollars.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jun couldn't bear it any longer, swung his fist vigorously, and said loudly, "I'm going to get rich!!!"

The box office was beyond Zhang Jun's expectations. He thought that 30 would be pretty good, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

In less than a month, the cost of making a film of 12 Hong Kong dollars may eventually earn millions of dollars, which is a huge profit!If the foreign market can also sell money, it will be even more profitable!
"Dad, the first-day box office of "The Serpentine Hand" is out, and it's 47!!" Zhang Jun shouted loudly in the room.

It was loud enough for the whole family to hear.

Zhang Zhenghao, Yang Qiu, and Zhang Jun's younger siblings all came out of the room.

"Son, are you right? The box office of "The Serpentine Hand" was 47 on the first day?" Zhang Zhenghao hurriedly asked with a nervous expression on his face.

Zhang Jun nodded with a smile: "I have repeatedly confirmed that there are indeed 47!"

Zhang Zhenghao was shocked: "I didn't expect the box office to be so high!"

Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile. Dad has been filming his whole life, and it seems that he has never won such a high box office...
