Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 366 Negative Marketing, Box Office Records

It’s also that Chen Huajiang is not what he used to be. Otherwise, Long Wu would have scolded him so much that he didn’t want to make money or wanted to harm him.

"Brother Long, don't worry, not everything that is black is necessarily black. Have you ever heard of the principle that things must be reversed when they reach their extremes?"

"In fact, in psychology, this is called a rebellious mentality. If everyone says something is bad, people will be curious about how bad it is. When they are curious, they will naturally buy tickets to watch it. And I have watched "Ancient Times" The samples of "Danger Boy", I am very confident about their quality."

"What do you think the audience who went to watch "Young and Dangerous" because it was terrible? Do they think "Young and Dangerous" was hacked and someone deliberately wanted to make this movie? At that time, the audience will feel deceived. They will take the initiative to help the movie clear its name, and even stand with the movie."

Chen Huajiang gave the other party a rough explanation.

Long Wu heard what he said was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence, and his logic made sense.

Although, he does not believe it in his heart, but "Young and Dangerous" is a project led by Chen Huajiang, and the current box office development of the film is more or less satisfactory to him.

"Okay then, I will believe you once." So Long Wu agreed with some hesitation.

In this way, another bigger wave of "blackmail" was staged in the media.

"Young and Dangerous is incredibly bad. It is definitely the worst movie in the history of Hong Kong and Mainland cinema. It is incredibly bad."

"I really can't stand it. Watching "Young and Dangerous" is so hypnotic. I was hypnotized three times in one movie. Every time I was woken up by other people's snoring, and then I was hypnotized again and woken up again."

"The worst movie in history, bar none. If the director and actors who made "Young and Dangerous" have any sense of shame, they should die to apologize."

"The only benefit of "Young and Dangerous" is that it saves money for tooth extraction. It is said that some viewers were so angry that they gritted their teeth while watching the movie, and the decayed tooth was directly bitten off, saving money for tooth extraction."

Unlike broadsheets, tabloids exaggerate as much as they want and write as darkly as they want.

For a while, anyone who reads newspapers and film reviews and has never seen "Young and Dangerous" will definitely think that this is an extremely bad movie, the worst movie in history.

"It's interesting. How about we watch "Young and Dangerous"?"

"What? Watching "Young and Dangerous"? Why would we watch such a bad movie?"

"Aren't you curious about how bad this movie is? I'm like a cat wondering how bad a movie needs to be to become the worst movie in history."

"Okay, I'm a little curious too. Then buy two movie tickets for "Young and Dangerous"."

A couple originally wanted to see "Autumn Fairy Tale". Influenced by the media, they were curious about how bad "Young and Dangerous" was, so they bought two movie tickets and went to the theater.

There were many similar viewers. They were not interested in the "Young and Dangerous" movie, but they were curious about how bad it was, so they bought tickets and went to the theater.

But at first glance, many viewers found that they were fooled. This movie is not bad at all. On the contrary, the plot is very attractive, and the brotherly loyalty inside also fits people's hearts today.

"Damn, I was deceived. Fortunately, I bought a ticket to watch this movie, otherwise I would have been treated like a monkey."

"No, I think "Young and Dangerous" is much better than "Autumn Fairy Tale". It must be those shameless media reporters who deliberately slandered "Young and Dangerous"."

"Depot Pictures is really not a thing, it must be their doing. I'm just wondering why there are so many negative reports and reviews of "Young and Dangerous" recently!"

As soon as the movie ended, the cinema was buzzing with excitement, and some grumpy people were cursing and cursing because they felt they had been fooled.

And after going out.

"Boss, here are two movie tickets for "Young and Dangerous". Don't worry if I just watched it, can I watch it again?"

"Come and get three tickets for "Young and Dangerous". I just want to support this movie."

"Give me one, I want a second brush."

Many viewers walked out of the cinema with anger in their hearts. After all, everyone felt angry when someone "insulted" their IQ.

This anger naturally turned into support for "Young and Dangerous".

"I'm so angry that you are slandering "Young and Dangerous" like this. I tell you, "Young and Dangerous" is a very good movie. It is definitely worth watching."

"Yes, I have also watched "Young and Dangerous". You are talking bad about "Young and Dangerous". We are not brothers. Because I, Aqiang, do not have brothers who tell lies with their eyes open, let alone do not tell lies. A loyal brother."

"I got money from the old man. Let's go and watch "Young and Dangerous" to open Xiao Wu's eyes."

Among young people, especially those who have watched "Young and Dangerous", they are also full of anger and restlessness.

Once the friends around me are influenced by reports and film reviews, saying that "Young and Dangerous" is not good, they will rectify their names angrily, and even pull them to watch "Young and Dangerous".

Just like this, something shocking happened. The viewing rate of "Young and Dangerous" continued to increase, and watching it twice, three times, or even four times and five times became standard.

At the entrance of major movie theaters, some media reporters who came to report were also wildly gesticulated with their middle fingers by the audience who came out.

In the eyes of these viewers, these media reporters are unfair and are specifically targeting "Young and Dangerous".

On the seventh day, the box office of "Young and Dangerous" was 1110 million and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was 1800 million.

On the eighth day, the box office of "Young and Dangerous" was 1500 million and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was 1900 million.

On the ninth day, the box office of "Young and Dangerous" was 1900 million, and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was 1950 million.

On the tenth day, the box office of "Young and Dangerous" was 2000 million and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was 1990 million.

"Young and Dangerous" topped the box office, followed by "Autumn Fairy Tale".

…………

The major media and film critics were dumbfounded. No one expected that "Young and Dangerous" would be such an explosion. It rebounded from the bottom and even "Autumn Fairy Tale" was overturned.

For a time, speculation and analysis flooded major newspapers, and film critics slapped themselves in the face and began to speak favorably of "Young and Dangerous."

Pan Disheng also received the news and smashed several antiques in the office at that time.

He never expected that "Autumn Fairy Tale" was about to sweep the summer vacation, but it would be overturned by "Young and Dangerous", which he didn't like at all.

This simply humiliated him. A few days ago, he said in front of reporters that he would "sweep", but he was surpassed by others.

This is the first movie since the establishment of Debao Pictures. If it fails to win the box office championship, it is a failure.

But the development of things was dizzying again next time.

In order to prove their eyesight and to rectify the name of "Young and Dangerous", more and more people began to watch "Young and Dangerous" movies twice and three times, and recommended "Young and Dangerous" movies to those around them.

No. 11 days, "Young and Dangerous" 2500 million, "Autumn Fairy Tale" 2030 million.

No. 12 days, "Young and Dangerous" 3000 million, "Autumn Fairy Tale" 2050 million.

........................

No. 16 days, "Young and Dangerous" 5000 million, "Autumn Fairy Tale" 2200 million.

5000 million, "Young and Dangerous" became the first movie to exceed 5000 million since the opening of Hong Kong film history.

The second-ranked "A Better Tomorrow" has more than 3000 million.

The direct jump from a box office of 4000 million to a box office of 5000 million immediately made the Hong Kong and local media excited.
