Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 453
At the beginning of April, a movie called "Chasing Girls" was quietly launched in Xiangjiang Cinemas.

Produced by Mai Jia, written by Huang Baiming, and starring Shi Tian, ​​this film did not receive much attention at the beginning.

Even Lin Daoqiu didn't notice that the movie was already showing in theaters.

But it was a movie that didn't get much attention, and it got a box office score of 600 million on the sixth day of its release.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized that New Art City is so powerful, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.

We must know that now can be said to be the off-season of movies. Compared with those holidays, the number of audiences going to the theater on weekdays will definitely be much smaller, and the attendance rate will naturally not be much better.

Moreover, New Art City and they put "Chasing Girls" in April. I'm afraid they also think that the box office of this movie should not be too good, otherwise they will definitely change it to a better schedule.

At this time, those guys in New Art City were working hard to produce "Best Partner", so they didn't really pay much attention to "Chasing Girls" at the beginning.

But after the box office results came out, they immediately approached Li Maowen, hoping that he would help increase the promotion of this drama, and also arrange more shows for them.

In fact, there is no need for Mai Jia and the others to say such a thing, Li Maowen himself will take the initiative to do it.

Throughout April, there were no strong films released. Judging from the current momentum of "Chasing Girls", it is definitely no problem to break through 2000 million. It depends on whether there is a chance to break through [-] million at the box office.

"It's a pity, if "Chasing Girls" and "Ghost Horse 2" were switched, then the little fat man would definitely not be as arrogant as he is now."

The little fat man Maijia mentioned was Wang Jing.

Ever since the box office of "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" broke through tens of millions, Wang Jing's temper has also improved. He is not as polite to the people in New Art City as before. Too angry.

But what Maijia didn't expect was that Teddy Robin seemed to have different opinions on what he said just after he finished speaking.

"I don't think so. If "Chasing Girls" was put on the New Year's file at that time, it's hard to say whether the box office would be as good as it is now, but what is certain is that the number of screenings allocated must be much less than now. I want to break 2000. It's simply not possible."

Teddy Robin and Maijia have completely different ideas. In his opinion, it is the most correct way to release "Chasing Girls" now.

After all, there are monsters like "Modern Bodyguard" in front of the New Year's file, because this has already eaten up most of the box office and audience.

In addition, "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" is also making troubles, even if "Chasing Girls" is released at that time, the box office will definitely not be as good as it is now.

Maijia was also overjoyed. After hearing what Teddy Robin had said, he also felt that what the other party said made sense.

"Okay, now "Chasing Girls" may break 2000 million, so our pressure will be much less."

Before spending 300 million to hire Xu Guanjie, the ups and downs of Xinyi City were like facing an enemy, and the pressure was extremely high.

If the final box office of "Chasing Girls" can exceed 2000 million, then with this momentum, "Best Partner" may really hope to break through 3000 million at the box office.

This time they plan to release "Best Partner" in the 1982 New Year's file.

At that time, the Xu Brothers' new film would definitely not come out, and the guys in New Art City felt that it should be their turn to lead the way this time.

But what they probably didn't expect was that although they didn't meet the Xu brothers this time, they met Jiahe's "Five Lucky Stars".

It's just that the news that Sammo Hung went to help Golden Harvest film this movie hasn't spread yet, so these guys in New Art City don't know about it yet.

But even if they knew about it, they probably wouldn't have too many thoughts. After all, compared with the Xu brothers, they were still more willing to face Sammo Hung.

When "Chasing Girls" was released, the film's final box office score did not exceed 2000 million, but it still reached 700 million, which also broke the box office record of a movie produced by New Art City so far.

Compared with the previous life, this drama is a full 800 million more than the previous life.

In addition to the fact that there are no strong films in front of them, it is also thanks to the integration of the three theaters that "Chasing Girls" has such a brilliant result.

And because of the box office hit of "Chasing Girls", several people in New Art City were greatly encouraged, and everyone invested in the filming of "Best Partner" with full confidence.

…………

"These guys are really... lucky enough."

Wang Jing really couldn't understand that "Chasing Girls" could earn more than 700 million at the box office during the film's off-season.

Originally, he was complacent before, but after "A Thousand Kings Fighting Thousand Tyrants" won a box office of over [-] million, Wang Jing felt that he should be said to have surpassed New Art City.

But now the opponent's score has exceeded 500 million, which makes Wang Jing very worried.

And recently, the preparations for the filming of "Best Partner" have also been reported, although no one knows the specific production cost of this film.

But since New Art City and they can invite Xu Guanjie to be the protagonist, I'm afraid the investment of this drama will definitely not be so low.

In comparison, the production cost of "Flower Heart" was only a million dollars. Wang Jing felt that the money might not even be enough to pay Xu Guanjie's film salary. How could it be compared.

"Why don't we go to Brother Qiu and ask him to raise the production fee of our film, or this time we will definitely be inferior to those guys in New Art City."

At this time, Wen Jun suddenly suggested to Wang Jing that he wanted to raise the production cost of "The Young and the Young".

If there is no such thing as New Art City, the production fee of 100 million for "Flower Heart" is definitely enough.

But now because of the idea of ​​comparison, Wang Jing and others suddenly felt that the production fee of 100 million was not enough, and it was very insufficient.

"I'm afraid it won't work. At the beginning, I had already agreed with Mr. Lin that the production fee would be 100 million. If I suddenly ran over and asked him to increase the production fee, without a good reason, Mr. Lin would definitely not agree."

Although Wang Jing also wanted to raise the production fee, he didn't dare to tell Lin Daoqiu, for he was worried that the other party would scold him half to death after he went.

"It doesn't matter, leave this matter to us. Why can New Art City make big productions but we can't."

Wen Juan seemed to be brought to the fore because of the New Art City incident. He planned to take Zheng Danrui to find Lin Daoqiu, and asked the other party to invest more in the movie "Flower Heart" if he said anything.

"Even if Brother Qiu doesn't agree in the end, we can't lose to those people in New Art City at our own expense."
