Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 978

From 180 to 160, then dropped to 130 million on the third day.

The box office trajectory of "Happy Ghost" seems to have continued to decline steadily.

However, this movie is considered a blockbuster, but it is by no means the kind of blockbuster.

Ben Li Maowen was still thinking about whether he would help "Happy Ghost" to increase the number of episodes.

But seeing the decline of "Happy Ghost" at such a magnitude, he felt that even if he stretched out his hand, he couldn't help it. At most, "Happy Ghost" could fall more slowly.

The box office of "Listening to the Government" also dropped steadily, from 270 to 230, and then fell to 200 million on the third day.

Originally, Li Hanxiang was still fantasizing that "Listening to the Government" could hit the box office of 3000 million.

But it is a pity, judging from the trend of the box office, the box office of "Listen to the Government" will probably be between 2000 million, which should not be much different from "Burning the Old Summer Palace".

But even so, Li Hanxiang never expected that the two historical films could get a box office of 4000 million.

He originally thought it would be pretty good to get around 2000 million for these two dramas combined.

But the result now is twice as much as he expected before, how could Li Hanxiang be unhappy.

On the other hand, in New Art City, everyone agrees that there won't be much change in the drama "Happy Ghost".

Huang Baiming has already put his mind on other scripts. As for Gao Zhisen, he goes to New Art City every morning, only to check the box office, and then go about his own business.

If it goes on like this, the drama "Happy Ghost" should not change much, because everyone thinks that the box office of this drama is just like this.

Originally, Lin Daoqiu had very high expectations for the drama "Happy Ghost".

He even felt that it was not impossible for this drama to break through 3000 million at the box office.

That's why he didn't even think about it at the time, so he doubled the budget for "Happy Ghost".

"Is it because it's not summer vacation?"

In fact, the "Happy Ghost" series has taken five films in total, from "Happy Ghost" in 1984 to "Happy Ghost" in 1991

And these five films have a common example, that is, all five films, without exception, are all released during the summer vacation, that is, in July.

But none of them had a box office of more than 2000 million, and the highest one was 1984 million in 700.

In 91, the fifth "Happy Ghost" only got 750 million box office.

And "Play Back To School", which ranked first at the time, dominated the crowd with a box office of 300 million.

"Happy Ghost" focuses on the student group, but this drama is actually not very funny.

For the vast majority of adult audiences, watching it once is enough. If you want them to buy tickets to enter the theater again, the appeal of this drama is not enough at all.

On the eighth day, because the box office has shrunk to 80, the number of "Happy Ghost" shows will be cut in half.

At this time, the sum of the seven-day box office of "Happy Ghost" has reached 800 million.

But because the number of shows is about to be cut in half, it is no longer possible for "Happy Ghost" to make a breakthrough.

So everyone thinks that after "Happy Ghost" is released, the box office will definitely exceed [-] million, but as for how much it can reach, no one will care too much.

And just two days later, something strange happened.

When Li Maowen came to his office early in the morning as usual.

Then he picked it up habitually, and read the morning newspaper prepared by the secretary.

"General manager, here are yesterday's box office statistics, please have a look."

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, and put a copy of the box office statistics on Li Maowen's desk.

"Put it there, I'll see later."

Li Maowen nodded, but his eyes did not move away from the newspaper.

Recently, Hongkong Cinemas has not released any strong films, and the best performing "Listen to the Government" has also dropped to around 100 million.

So during this period, everyone's attention has been set on the New Year's Eve two weeks later. After all, at that time, it will be the biggest and cruelest box office battle in the Xiangjiang film industry once a year.

The most special thing this year is that Baocheng Cinemas is coming. Although Pan Disheng didn't say anything, everyone knows that he brought "Project A" this time to break Lin Daoqiu's box office myth.

After reading the newspaper for a while, Li Maowen put down the newspaper and picked up the box office statistics.

Yesterday's box office of "Listening to the Government" was 130 million, and it has been falling, but fortunately, this drama has accumulated a box office of 500 million.

Even if it falls like this, the box office can break through 2000 million after Luohua, I believe Li Hanxiang should be satisfied.

He moved his gaze from "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain" to the other side.

When Li Maowen glanced at the box office of "Happy Ghost", he suddenly froze for a moment.

Yesterday, the box office of "Happy Ghost" reached 95, which was the first reverse growth.

Although the increase was not large, only 15, but this was achieved when the number of "Happy Ghost" was cut in half, which made Li Maowen feel strange.

However, the increase of only 15, to Li Maowen, just made him a little surprised. He didn't think too much about it, thinking that it was just a dead fish jumping.

But what Li Maowen didn't expect was that the next day, the box office of "Happy Ghost" broke one million, and then it was 110 million.

Then it even surpassed the box office of "Listening to Politics under the Curtain", reaching 140 million.

Originally, everyone thought that the box office of "Happy Ghost" stopped at around 1000 million.

But before the fall of the painting, there was a reverse growth, and the magnitude was getting bigger and bigger. Li Maowen couldn't understand it, but he immediately reported the situation to Lin Daoqiu.

"Add more screenings to "Happy Ghost" and let it show for an extra week."

Li Maowen agreed with Lin Daoqiu's decision, because "Happy Ghost" has been maintaining a reverse growth trend.

It would be a real pity if it were left unpainted now.

Only by increasing the screening time for a week can the potential of this drama be fully realized.

On the other side of New Art City, Huang Baiming and Gao Zhisen were stunned when they received the news.

Originally they thought that the box office of "Happy Ghost" was a foregone conclusion, but they didn't expect such a reversal in the end.

"Brother Baiming, do you think "Happy Ghost" is expected to break 2000 million?"

Gao Zhisen stared blankly at Huang Baiming, he still hadn't realized it yet.

"Congratulations to Director Gao, your first film has earned 2000 million at the box office, which is truly remarkable."

Huang Baiming was very happy, he patted Gao Zhisen on the shoulder.

Feeling that his bones became lighter, Gao Zhisen kept giggling non-stop.

　Thanks, rfjh, the worst ruffian, everyone's big monthly pass!mwah! ╰(*°▽°*)╯
