Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1039 The Unbearable July

Li Maowen originally thought that "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" should have a big lead at the box office on the first day of the two films.

But what he didn't expect was that "The Brave Double Cannon" was released on a red plate, which Li Maowen had no way of predicting before.

"Manager Li, what happened?"

Judging from Li Maowen's expression, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen had already realized that the box office results of "The Brave Double Cannon" must be very good this time.

""The Brave Double Cannon" won a box office of 280 million on the first day."

At the beginning of the year, Lin Daoqiu and the others had already figured out the secret of the highest box office limit of Baocheng Cinemas.

320 million is the highest box office that Baocheng Cinemas can get in a single day.

This time "The Brave Double Cannon" earned 280 million at the box office on the first day, which is only 40 short of the box office limit of Baocheng Cinemas.

You should know that this is a summer vacation, not a special holiday.

But this drama still achieved such a good result. If this trend continues, as long as the drop is not too severe, the box office of 2000 million is very hopeful to break through.

"Then how much box office did "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" get?"

Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen are most concerned about the first-day box office of "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation".

Li Maowen didn't say anything, but handed over the box office statistics to Huang Baiming.

Huang Baiming quickly got up and took the document handed over by Li Maowen, and then read it immediately.

"380 million..."

Seeing this result, Huang Baiming heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and Gao Zhisen next to him did the same.

When "Happy Ghost" was released, it only got a score of 180 million on the first day.

However, relying on the reverse growth of the box office later, and Lin Daoqiu allowed "Happy Ghost" to be released for an extra week, and there were no strong movie rivalries, that's why "Happy Ghost" made a miracle of 2000 million to 500 million.

Now they suddenly got 380 million box office on the first day, which made Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen very satisfied.

"Judging from the theater capacity of Heung Kong and Baocheng Cinemas, unless "The Brave Double Cannon" shows reverse growth, it is absolutely impossible for them to win "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation"."

Li Maowen's judgment is based on the trend of general movie box office, so he said this.

After all, it is rare to encounter a movie with reverse growth like "Happy Ghost". If there is one movie every month, it will not be a miracle but the norm.

Based on the box office of 380 million on the first day, as long as "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" does not collapse, there is hope that the box office of 3000 million can be broken.

But this time, Huang Baiming no longer dared to expect Lin Daoqiu to let "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" be released for an extra week.

Because in the near future, Lin Zhengying's new movie will be released, and at that time all movies will give way to Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie".

"Manager Li, do you think "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation" can break through 3000 million at the box office?"

Huang Baiming's question made Gao Zhisen secretly look forward to it.

Li Maowen is not fully sure about this issue either. 2000 million is definitely no problem, but if it is 3000 million, I am afraid it will be quite difficult.

"I will ask the publicity department to work harder to promote "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" to see if it can maintain the current box office trend."

To be able to release a 3000 million movie during the summer vacation is definitely a big deal for Xiangjiang Cinemas.

And in the near future, the second Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony will be held soon, if "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" can get a good result, Lin Daoqiu's face will also be bright.

At the same time, at Baocheng Cinemas, the main creators of "The Brave Double Cannon" were sitting together, and they had already obtained the first day's box office statistics.

280 million vs. 380 million, this result is definitely not good news for them.

After the box office results came out, the few people who were expecting this had a depressed expression on their faces.

"What's the matter? Isn't the score of 280 million not good enough? Why does everyone seem to be dead at home?"

Sammo Hung spoke first, it seemed that he didn't like the atmosphere in the room very much.

But after he finished speaking, there was still no change in the expressions on everyone's faces.

If they lost to Lin Daoqiu or Lin Zhengying's new film this time, then they can still be convinced.

But this time, "The Brave Double Cannon" unexpectedly lost to the new movie starring Huang Baiming, let alone that the movie didn't have a single star, except for Huang Baiming, the leading actor was "Happy Girls Group".

Those three girls hadn't even acted in a play, they were just a group of real newcomers.

These old guys who have been in the film industry for so long, were defeated by "Happy Ghost", how could they be happy.

"I know that you are not convinced, but this is only the box office on the first day, and "The Brave Double Cannon" may not necessarily lose to "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" before the end."

Hearing what Sammo Hung said, it seemed that he felt that "The Brave Double Cannon" still had a chance of winning.

If "Happy Ghost Over Summer Vacation" had no previous work, then everyone might have the same idea as Sammo Hung.

But they all remember very clearly that the box office of the previous "Happy Ghost" on the first day was only 180 million.

Relying on the miraculous reverse growth, he managed to achieve a good result of 500 million in the end.

Even if it is released for an extra week, if the audience does not buy it, it will not make much money after being released for ten weeks. It is better to change the number of screenings to other new films.

"Brother, besides "Happy Ghosts Over Summer Vacation", Aying's new film will also be released in the summer."

If New Oriental has any big IP, besides "Best Partner", it is Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie".

August must be a difficult month for Baocheng Cinemas, so "The Brave Double Cannon" was chosen to be released in July.

If "The Brave Double Cannon" loses too badly this time, I'm afraid it will be bad-mouthed again.

"Okay, let's talk about the following things later. Everyone should do the things at hand well. As for other things, don't worry about them so much."

Sammo Hung didn't want to think about "Mr. Zombie", because he never thought about going head-to-head with Lin Zhengying.

After hearing what Sammo Hung said, everyone already understood what he meant.

Now everyone in Baocheng Theater is looking forward to, "The Brave Double Cannon" will not lose too badly this time, so that they can save some face.

Because by the time "Mr. Zombie" is released, they may not even be able to speak.
