Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 991 The Single-Day Box Office of Xiangjiang Cinemas

At the beginning of "Best Partner: The Queen's Secret Order", King Kong came under the Eiffel Tower in France.

This is also the first time the "Best Partner" series has been filmed outside, and it has been filmed in Xiangjiang before.

After being attacked by unknown persons, King Kong fell into the Seine River and was swallowed by a giant robotic shark.

Then he met 007, played by Sean Connery.

After some fighting, 007 told King Kong that the diamond on the queen's crown had been stolen and sold in Xiangjiang. 007 asked King Kong to help find the diamond on the crown.

Little do they know that this 007 is actually a fake. They want to use King Kong to steal diamonds, and then re-insert a crown to deceive local tyrants in the Middle East.

As a result, King Kong fell into the beauty trap used by the other party and took over the task.

The plot of the "Best Partner" series of movies basically revolves around diamonds.

The audience has long been very familiar with this, but compared with before, the plot this time is still unfolded between the bald man, King Kong and the tomboy.

From the beginning to the end, the audience's recognition of the play is still very high.

Lin Daoqiu heard that many times, the audience would laugh out loud, which proves that this drama is still very good.

Sometimes, if there are too many films in a series, it will be difficult to attract the audience to enter the theater if major changes are not made. Even if they enter the theater, they will not buy tickets repeatedly to continue watching.

You must know that the population of Xiangjiang is not large at this time, only a little over 500 million.

If you want to get a box office of 4000 million, you need more than 200 million people to watch it, but this is basically impossible.

So at this time, the audience who repeatedly bought tickets to enter the venue is extremely important.

After the movie ended, there were thunderous cheers at the scene. It seemed that the movie "Best Partner" was still very successful, at least so far.

After all, this drama spent more than 500 million yuan in production costs. If there are no amazing performances, it can be said to be a huge failure.

…………

In the early morning of the third day, Mai Jia, Teddy Robin, Huang Baiming and others gathered in New Oriental.

They didn't sleep much all night, they ran over early in the morning, went straight into the conference room, and made a cup of coffee each.

Today is the day when the box office of "Best Partner" is released on the first day, which is very important to Mai Jia and the others.

If the first-day box office of "Best Partner" this year can surpass last year's 270 million, it proves that this drama is very hopeful to break through 4000 million at the box office.

But if it is still maintained at last year's 270 million position, or lower, then Maijia and the others' expectations for "Best Partner 3" will probably be lowered a lot.

"Don't shake your feet, I'm very upset."

Seeing Teddy Robin shaking his feet beside him, Mai Jia couldn't help but muttered.

In fact, before coming here, Mai Jia had already learned that on the first day of the release of "Project A" yesterday, the news from there showed that the audience was full of praise for the movie "Project A".

The action scenes in it are fascinating to watch, and everyone is very optimistic. "Project A" can break through the box office of 4000 million.

Some people who have watched "Project A" even said that this movie is the best action movie this year.

Those who said this obviously ignored "Best Partner", which made Maijia very unhappy.

In terms of action scenes, they are not as good as Sammo Hung and the others in terms of real kung fu. However, the selling point of "Best Partner" is not real kung fu, but the whimsical technological elements in it.

Since the idea of ​​"Best Partner" came from 007, it is impossible for the high technology inside to fall behind.

Especially this year, with the great assistance of Magic Studio, compared to the previous life, the special effects of "Best Partner" have been significantly improved.

You must know that the cost of special effects during the filming of "Best Partner" was as high as 500 million.

And this is because Magic Studio gave them convenience, so they only charged them 500 million.

If it was replaced by other film companies, I am afraid that this number would have to be doubled.

"Mr. Lin..."

At this time, Lin Daoqiu walked in from the outside with Li Maowen and Fang Jinsheng.

"It looks like everyone didn't sleep much last night."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu entered the meeting room, he saw Mai Jia and the others. He was a little surprised, but felt that this was also reasonable.

If "Best Partner" can get a bright box office on the first day, it will definitely be a great joy for New Arts City.

As for the Xiangjiang Cinemas, it is naturally an inspiring thing.

After all, everyone now knows that Baocheng Cinemas and Xiangjiang Cinemas will officially start their war from this Spring Festival stall.

Everyone in Xiangjiang's entertainment circle is watching, who will be the winner of this Spring Festival stall.

Although most people are optimistic about Lin Daoqiu, Pan Disheng also has a lot of supporters.

So for Lin Daoqiu, if this Spring Festival stall cannot keep the momentum of Baocheng Theaters down, I am afraid that if he wants to overwhelm the opponent next, he will have to wait for several months.

Lin Daoqiu didn't want the other party to be arrogant on his head for a few months, so now he can only hope that "Best Partner" can get a good start, winning "Project A" is the best.

"Mr. Lin, how can we sleep at this time? After I went back last night, I lay in bed all night and couldn't fall asleep. I don't know what happened."

Mai Jia looked very speechless, and he also stayed up until three o'clock in the morning before falling asleep vaguely.

However, after sleeping for less than four hours, he was woken up by the alarm clock, and then rushed to New Oriental to attend the meeting.

"Mr. Lin, before the box office comes out, what is the upper limit of the box office of Xiangjiang Cinemas in a single day based on your estimation?"

Huang Baiming was not the only one who wanted to know this question. Both Mai Jia and Teddy Robin looked at Lin Daoqiu with great interest.

They all already know that the box office limit of New Oriental Cinemas is 270 million in a single day.

Now that Golden Harvest Cinemas is added to form Xiangjiang Cinemas, if the single-day box office explodes, it will definitely be much more than the previous 270 million.

But as for how much, Maijia and others don't know the specific number.

"Previously, the single-day box office limit of New Oriental Cinemas was 270 million. If Golden Harvest's box office is included, the single-day box office can at least exceed 500 million. What do you think of my guess?"

A box office of 500 million in a single day?Hearing what Lin Daoqiu said, Mai Jia and the others couldn't help opening their mouths.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed a common sense thing, but can it really be done?
