The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 348 Not a good start
When the four Chinese New Year blockbusters from the mainland were screened at the same time, a Hollywood blockbuster was screened in the bend of Hong Kong Island. This movie was "King Kong" which swept the North American film market recently.

"King Kong" tells the story of a giant orangutan and a down-and-out actress. King Kong fights a plane. It's not a joke. There is no chicken essence with a fishy smell.

Such an exciting scene is naturally welcome.

Once the movie was released on Hong Kong Island and Wanwan, it received a very good reputation. With the momentum of thunder, it easily won the daily box office champion.

The mainland premiere of "King Kong" will be slightly delayed and will be released on December 29.

At this time, Hollywood movies are not eligible to be screened for seven days. Generally, they will be screened for one or two days, and there will be no more than two hundred shows.

In the eyes of many people, the week before the release of King Kong is the time when mainland movies grab the box office.

On December 22nd, the film will come out soon.

Although many theaters are more optimistic about "Extreme Escape" during the screening, but at this time, there are often some considerations other than quality.

For example, the theaters in Yunan, because most of the shots of "Riding a Thousand Miles" were shot in Yunan, and there was an order above, most of the theaters in Yunan arranged for "Riding a Thousand Miles" for "Riding Alone".

Another example is the theater chains in Guangdong Province, which have always had good relations with Hong Kong film and television companies, and the common people also prefer Hong Kong-style movies. The film schedule of "The Great Sage" in Guangdong Province exceeded 50.00%.

Under such circumstances, according to the statistics of the national cinema comprehensive film schedule, "Extreme Escape" got 20.00% of the first day's film screenings, "The Great Sage of Love" was 20.00% seven, and "Riding a Thousand Miles Alone" was 20.00% one , "If Love" is 20.00%.

Only three percent is left, which is reserved for some small movies.

Fenghua, Huayi, Yinghuang, the new picture naturally knew the filming for a long time.

Immediately after the screening came out, there was a wave of doubts on the Internet. They suspected that the young director Li Shengyao, and the films of Li Lianhua and Deng Chao, who had no appeal, could have the highest screening.

Skeptics feel that there is an ulterior transaction behind this.

"They all received rave reviews, why do you only watch "Extreme Escape" highly?"

"I think these four films should be arranged equally, and the same arrangement is fair."

"Let the audience decide, capitalists like to force-feed shit."

""Riding Alone for Thousand Miles" is also very good-looking and full of sincerity. I think "Riding Alone for Thousand Miles" should get the highest ranking."

The theaters know the quality of each movie after screening.

However, the viewing experience on the Internet, the ratings are naturally all praise.

Some viewers who don't know why will be led to the rhythm. Of course, the vast majority of viewers understand these routines, and there are countless reviews on screenings. It is still after a large-scale release that they will know whether the movie is really good.

Under such circumstances, the main creators of the four films promoted them all over the country, hoping to earn more box office on the first day.

……

In the early morning of December 2005, 12, four blockbuster films were screened on a large scale at the same time.

Li Shengyao didn't pay attention to the movie box office like "Let's Punch, Dad". He went to bed at eleven o'clock the first night.

The person who slept with him was replaced by Chen Xun.

The two haven't seen each other for months, so it's natural that there will be a big battle when they get together.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Li Shengyao got up, and then he received a call from his assistant.

"Boss, "Extreme Escape" is now No. 2 in the box office list, second only to "The Great Sage of Love."

Chen Xun was sitting on the side, and when he heard the assistant's words, he was a little worried, "Is "The Great Sage of Love" good?"

"It's alright."

Chen Xun nodded, "Take me to the movies later."

She hasn't watched "Extreme Escape" yet, thinking about going to see this movie today.

"it is good."

At ten o'clock in the morning, when Li Shengyao took Chen Xun out, he received another call from his assistant.

"Boss, now "The Great Sage" is even more ahead. They have a box office of 150 million, and we only have 100 million."

If it is a working day, under normal circumstances, the box office during the day is very low, and the box office can only increase at night.

Today is Friday, and the box office should be low during the day.

Now that "Love Epilepsy" leads the box office, there is a high probability that Nicholas Tse's fans have reserved the show.

At this time, Nicholas Tse's traffic in the mainland is not bad, and he still has some fans.

Li Shengyao nodded, "It's okay, it should be reserved by fans."

"Boss, there are already a lot of news, saying that "The Great Sage of Love" is number one on the first day, will it affect us?"

After all, Huayi and Yinghuang are old players, even if it is just the beginning, the day is not over yet, they can brag about their short first place.

Such news is naturally not good for "Extreme Escape".

Maybe some people will think that "Extreme Escape" can't beat "The Great Sage of Love", and then choose "The Great Sage of Love".

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, "How about our data on Hong Kong Island and Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand?"

"The data in Hong Kong Island is not bad, it surpassed "The King of Love", and in Xinmatai, we are temporarily behind "The King of Love", but the data is very low, and it can't compare with "King Kong". "

Audiences in Hong Kong don't like to watch nonsensical comedies like "The King of Love", and it's not starred by Zhou Xingxing.

Moreover, Nicholas Tse's reputation in Hong Kong Island has not been very good. Hong Kong Island audiences hate his previous cheating and topping cases.

Nicholas Tse didn't have much work in Hong Kong Island for the first two years, and spent most of his time filming TV dramas in the Mainland.

"Extreme Escape" has climbing and parkour elements, but it is easier to attract the attention of audiences on Hong Kong Island.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, "You immediately arrange for our people to brag about the results of "Extreme Escape" in Hong Kong Island, saying that "Extreme Escape" surpassed "The Great Sage of Love", and "If Love" is today's No. 1 domestic film box office. .[-]."

He then hung up the phone.

Whether the movie's final box office is good or not depends on whether it suits the audience's appetite.

But the necessary publicity is still there.

Huayi and Yinghuang can play word games, so naturally Li Shengyao can too.

Not long after, Li Shengyao and Chen Xun came to Fenghua Cinemas. Both of them were wearing masks. They went to buy tickets like ordinary audiences.

At this time, more than a dozen movie theaters are showing movies, and the next round of screenings has not yet arrived. The two of them have to wait for 10 minutes.

Chen Xun went to buy milk tea, then sat with Li Shengyao and waited.

There were a few couples sitting next to them. There were few people and it was very quiet.

"Oh, I heard that "The Great Sage of Love" is funnier. There are so many celebrities. Let's watch "The Great Sage of Love."

A girl flirts with her boyfriend.

Hearing this, the boy shook his head again and again, ""Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" is a sincere work of Lao Mouzi, let's watch "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles"."

The girl was dissatisfied, and the two argued in low voices.

Chen Xun took a sip of the milk tea, and immediately frowned, "This milk tea is a bit bitter, and there is less sugar in it."

Li Shengyao smiled, "It's okay, just add some sugar."
