Hong Kong Entertainment: Kung Fu Superstar 1981

Chapter 223: Blockade becomes empty talk

"What did you say? 1360 million box office in the first week?!"

Jiahe Headquarters.

When Zou Wenhuai heard the news reported by his subordinates, he was completely dumbfounded.

He slumped down on the chair, unable to believe the news coming back from below for a long time, and his whole mind was buzzing.

1360 million, what is this concept?
This year's Golden Harvest's best-performing "Lucky Star" did not exceed 1300 million at the box office in its first week. Currently, in the Hong Kong film industry, among all the films with a first-week box office of over 3000 million, none has a box office of less than [-] million. level.

And now looking at the surging momentum of "A Better Tomorrow", 3000 million may not be his limit. Maybe, this will be the first film in Hong Kong to break the 500 million box office mark!
Right now, this is just the summer season, not the hottest Spring Festival season of the year.

"A Better Tomorrow" can achieve such results, which can be said to be a new breakthrough in the history of Hong Kong movies!
And this breakthrough not only did not happen in Jiahe, but also happened in Deyang Cinema, which was regarded as a mortal enemy...

Zou Wenhua scratched his hair and felt that his scalp was heating up.

This heat was not caused by the weather, but by the suffocating anger in my heart.

hateful!

Hateful! !

This Wu Yusen is also a fucking purebred bastard.

When he was in Jiahe, I had a lot of resources for him. Why didn't he make such a good film? If he had made such a film, would I have fired him?

Now this little white-eyed wolf is joining forces with Zhang Yang, the big white-eyed wolf, to do something for himself. How shameless!
You two despicable and shameless white-eyed wolves, I will kill you two bastards in the next movie! !
Zou Wenhuai gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, but even if he could curse in thousands of ways in his heart, it would be of no use in the face of the surging momentum of "A Better Tomorrow" at the box office.

The box office in two weeks was 340 million, and the box office in three weeks was [-] million.

In less than a week, the box office figure of "A Better Tomorrow", which represents the tens of millions, will jump up one notch, and Zou Wenhuai's body temperature is also rising like the box office of "A Better Tomorrow". In the end, he died because of a high fever. I went to the hospital and was given salt water for two days.

But no matter how entangled he was in his heart, it didn't affect "A Better Tomorrow" from continuing to shine.

When the one-month release period ended, the box office of "A Better Tomorrow" officially ushered in a freeze.

The total box office is 3735 million!
Definitely a record-breaker.

With the full publicity and resource support of DeYoung Cinemas, "A Better Tomorrow" not only broke the historical record of the highest box office for a Hong Kong movie, but also broke the record that he should have achieved in history.

Of course, although in terms of the number of people watching the movie, "A Better Tomorrow" is still not as good as the legendary "The Best of Us", the box office is so high. On the one hand, the ticket price has increased, and on the other hand, a large number of people have chosen the second choice. Brush, three brushes.

And it is precisely because of the existence of people who keep watching again and again, which further proves the unique charm of the film "A Better Tomorrow".

...just three days after the release of "A Better Tomorrow", in the office of Yingyang Entertainment.

Zhang Yang was sitting at the desk in the office, and there were several people standing in front of him.

These people are publishers from all over the world, and the meaning of their gathering in the office is naturally obvious.

That was for the distribution rights of the movie "A Better Tomorrow."

Just as Zhang Yang thought, after the movie "A Better Tomorrow" was released, Jiahe's blockade strategy became a joke.

Everyone is a distributor because they want to make money. If you, Jiahe, issue a ban against Deyang, okay, no problem. You have a strong source of films now, and Deyang Cinemas doesn’t have any films with potential, so everyone just takes it as such. Out of sight.

But now that Zhang Yang is holding this film that has set a new high in the history of Hong Kong movies, he might get the right to screen it once and earn more than they made in a year or two. Then your Jiahe ban will naturally become a piece of waste paper.

We are not fools. We have already released the movie that Jiahe should release. If you don’t let us make such a potential film, what if someone else gets it?
Overseas distribution is basically a game of turf grabbing. I don’t have any good films here, so customers will naturally go elsewhere. When the time comes to see my peers making huge profits, it will be really uncomfortable compared to losing money on my own new film.

Not to mention that any well-informed film studio would have known for a long time that in addition to "A Better Tomorrow", Zhang Yang also has a "Boxer" specifically aimed at the South Asian market, especially the Thai market. Judging from his performance, Zhang Yang has never failed in this kind of action movie.

"Everyone knows my request. If you have no objections, please bid separately and write it on the document in front of you. When the bidding is over, we will naturally contact the successful one."

Faced with the collective action of these distributors to seek film sources, Zhang Yang was very stupid and made a hidden bid.

If the auction were to be held openly, it would be easy to offend all these publishers. Now we have a hidden bidding method. Everyone writes down their respective prices and arrangements. Each party has left a line, and Zhang Yang can choose between them. It is considered a Not a bad plan.

Before the secret bidding began, Zhang Yang also told everyone in advance that for the distribution rights of this film, they would only settle the bill according to the box office share. The distributor did not need to provide a clear box office bill, or even to beat these distribution rights. Zhang Yang also invited Chen Huimin, another shareholder of the company, to witness the small thoughts that businessmen might have.

With Chen Huimin sitting here, Zhang Yang is not sure whether these publishers dare to take risks, but there is only one thing that Zhang Yang can be sure of, that is, if someone really dares to play tricks, Chen Huimin can definitely make that company The publisher leaves behind memories that will last a lifetime, and the money that should be received must be given back in equal amounts.

How many of the leaders who can dominate the world of Hong Kong Island have no contact with foreign countries?

Not to mention Chen Huimin, he has a close relationship with the people in the Dongying Yamaguchi Group. He is even considered a famous person within the Yamaguchi Group. If something goes wrong, Zhang Yang will probably make less money, and these issuance Businessmen, you have to carefully consider your own wealth and life.

After all the publishers had completed the secret bid documents, Zhang Yang asked General Chen Jia to send them out.

After all the guests were sent out, Zhang Yang looked at the piles of hidden documents on the table with a smile on his face.

Now, Jiahe's blockade against him has become completely empty talk.

Next, with the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" and "Boxing Fighter", Zhang Yang will also prepare to take his first step into the international horizon!
