Island Tycoon

Chapter 23 Warm response
With a female scream in the theater, the audience's eyes returned to the screen.Now they finally knew why Yafeng's eyes were wrong. From a news report cut out there, it turned out that she was a mental patient.

In order to make the hero A Chang make up his mind, Yafeng directly stabbed A Juan several times in the abdomen with a knife, especially her frenzied eyes, which made many viewers a little scared.

I thought I could calm down after this scene, but I didn't expect a more bloody and terrifying scene to come.Yafeng bled Ajuan directly in the bathroom and dismembered her body piece by piece.

Especially at the moment when the hero opened the refrigerator, A Juan's hideous and terrifying head brought another shock.

"Husband, why don't we go home."

"I can't do it anymore, vomit—" A man who was still proving his boldness just now ate the food in his hand, but now he vomited it all up.

While combing his back, his companion Ah Da gloated and said, "Fortunately, fortunately. I didn't buy anything to come in just now."

Later, Ajuan was even made into a series of roasted meat. Seeing that the guests were eating enthusiastically, and even praised the hero's meat as delicious as before, the sound of gnawing sugarcane had already stopped.

"Well, it's delicious."

"Boss, help me pack an extra roasted bone, I'll take it home to eat."

"Hey, why is there still a hair?" In the video, Ren Dahua picked out a curly hair from between his teeth.

Ajuan was sold as roasted meat by the two. Although the audience knew that they ate ordinary roasted bones, but thinking of the horrible scenes just now, the audience with the best endurance was somewhat nauseated, and those with poor endurance already vomited. for the third time.

It was Zhong Chuhong and Zheng Wenya who were beside Ye Jingcheng, who still felt uncomfortable after seeing this movie again. Ye Jingcheng comforted the two of them at first, but after seeing that they couldn't stand it, he had to send them back early

Walking out of the theater door, Ye Jingcheng realized that he was not the first to send his girlfriend out, and he could even see a few piles of vomit in front of the theater door.

One of the girls was leaning against the wall to vomit. After vomiting, she still threatened her boyfriend next to her: "If you dare to forgive me in the future, be careful that I will kill you and turn you into roast meat."

After seeing off the two women, Ye Jingcheng returned to the theater again, and many people couldn't bear the stimulation and vomited. Even when he walked back to his seat, someone accidentally threw up his pants.

After all, horror movies in this era are full of tomato juice and supercilious eyes. The realistic death method and terrifying atmosphere like "Human Meat Roasting Shop" are more effective than expected.

The next day, the sales status of the films in each theater were placed on Shao Yifu's desktop as files.

Fang Yihua on the side opened one of the documents and reported: "Sixth brother, the first round of screening of "Human Meat Roast Meat Shop", except for the leading theaters, the attendance rate is around 58%, and the attendance rate of other theaters is even less than [-]%. The average occupancy rate was [-]%.”

"En." Shao Yifu nodded, showing a rare smile, and said, "For an unknown producer, this achievement has already exceeded my expectations."

I don't know if Fang Yihua is really thinking about the theater or if he is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so he whispered to Shao Yifu: "Sixth brother, the attendance rate of this movie's premiere is already so low, and the genre is a niche horror movie. I propose to separate two leading theaters and four smaller theaters to show other films."

Shaking his head, Shao Yifu sighed, "Meng Lan, you are good at everything, but you are too decisive to leave no room for escape."

The treatment he gave Ye Jingcheng was not to show all the screens, but the three leading theaters and twelve small theaters under his banner, and the other leading theater and six small theaters were selected to play "The Boy with the Golden Arm".

Now that "Human Meat Roasting Meat Shop" has only been released for one day, Fang Yihua wants to take another third of the theaters away. If the performance of this movie is not good, then there is nothing wrong with it.

The problem is that compared to Shaw Brothers martial arts movies with an average attendance rate of [-]%, the performance of "Human Meat Roast Meat Shop" is already worthy of them. Even because of Shaw Brothers' reputation in recent years, its attendance rate has been affected. Increase by [-]%.

Since Shao Yifu failed to invest US$1978 million in "The Catastrophe of the Earth" in 600, his interest in investing in the film industry has greatly diminished, and his focus has shifted to TVB. He intends to train Fang Yihua to become his executor.

Now Shao Yifu is not yet the largest shareholder of TVB, and Fang Yihua's unobjective handling has already made many people dissatisfied with her, and even gave her the nickname of "one cut" behind her back.

It's hard to imagine how rampant Shao Yifu's arrogance will be when she becomes the largest shareholder in the future.It is even a question of whether he can get along peacefully with his two sons who are high-level wireless.

Fang Yihua didn't speak, Shao Yifu shook his head and asked, "What's going on with Golden Harvest? This time we're facing off against the same type of film."

"Zou Wenhuai seems to like this "Mad Robbery" very much. In addition, we have found the news here, and we have done enough publicity beforehand. The attendance rate of yesterday's test screening exceeded 30%. .”

Shao Yifu smiled helplessly. Although the Shaw Group started to decline, it is still the leader in the hearts of Hong Kong people. Jiahe is now doing everything possible to take away this honor.

"Let's look at the situation again. Now I am an old man and a bad machine, not like these young people who are brave and aggressive."

……

"Hello, please give me four copies of the movie "Human Meat Roasted Meat Shop"."

A group of four came to a movie theater in Mong Kok, and the young man in the lead went to the sales window to buy tickets.If Ye Jingcheng was present at this time, he would definitely recognize these four people, wouldn't they be Zhou Xingchi and Wei Qiuhua who had supper together last time?

"Wait, let me take a look first." The conductor lowered his head to check the tickets, and said to Zhou Xingchi, "You are lucky, you just have the last four tickets left, but they are not consecutive tickets, do you want them?"

"Definitely." Zhou Xingchi replied.

"A total of 28 yuan, thank you."

Reluctantly, Zhou Xingchi took out his wallet to pay the bill, and did not forget to ask: "How can movie tickets be so easy to sell?"

"That's right, the tickets for "Human Meat Roast Meat Shop" are almost sold out from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in these two nights. I heard that one person threw up a dozen times after watching it and still came to watch the next day." The conductor replied.

"It's too exaggerated." Zhou Xingchi didn't quite believe it.

"I don't know if it's exaggerating or not, but the producer probably made a lot of money. According to this situation, the box office of 200 million is the least."

Zhou Xingchi just clicked his tongue after hearing this, and the local box office has already reached 200 million.If the overseas box office of the big head is added, I am afraid there will be 700 million, right?

Calculated in this way, the producer Ye Jingcheng can get at least 300 million.For Zhou Xingchi, let alone 300 million, 300 yuan is not a small amount.

Coming to the side of Wei Qiuhua and the other three, Zhou Xingchi added fuel to the situation that he had learned just now: "Sister Hua, I heard that Ye Sheng's movie is likely to break through the 300 million box office. If I were you, try to seize the opportunity."

He said he wanted Wei Qiuhua to seize the opportunity, but in fact he just wanted to get on the big boat of Ye Jingcheng through the other party.After all, Ye Jingcheng's words of encouragement to him last time were probably out of perfunctory, but his praise for Wei Qiuhua was true.

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Wen Yu'er said in a timely manner: "Let's not talk about that, let's go in and have a look."

The other three nodded with their own concerns. Like most of the audience, the four of them felt more or less sick to their stomachs when they saw the bloody scenes. Zhou Xingchi even vomited twice during the process.

"Sister Hua, come out for a moment, I have something to talk to you." Zhou Xingchi whispered in Wei Qiuhua's ear as soon as he got back to his seat.

Wei Qiuhua shook his head and said, "Ah Xing, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"I came back from the bathroom just now and saw Ye Sheng sitting in the first row. What do you mean now? Lishi didn't restrict you to make movies. After passing this village, there will be no such store."

Although the two of them left a phone number for Ye Jingcheng last time, it was still the same thing whether Ye Jingcheng remembered them or not. Even if they really contacted, they didn't know how long it would take. Zhou Xingchi was never someone who would sit still.

Seeing that the theater was full of people, Wei Qiuhua was moved and said with some hesitation: "Wouldn't this be great? If it disturbs Ah Cheng."

"Of course not. Believe me, it's too late for Ye Sheng to be happy when he sees you."

Even Zhou Xingchi, a minor, can say these words, and Wei Qiuhua, an adult in his early twenties, understands the meaning of his words better.

It's not that Wei Qiuhua has never made a movie. In 1978, she starred in a movie called "Crazy Love". The leading actor was still the hot star Zhou Runfa, but it was a pity that she didn't become popular because of it.

After thinking for a while, Wei Qiuhua said, "Why don't you talk to Xue'er and the others."

Since the last four movie tickets bought by Zhou Xingchi were not consecutive, Zhou Xingchi had planned in his mind from the very beginning, and handed over the other two tickets to Liu Weisheng and the others.

"No, Sister Hua, it's not that you don't know Brother Sheng's character. Maybe his tone last time offended Ye Sheng. If you want to go, I'll go with you." Thinking of Liu Weisheng with a stinky face, Zhou Xingchi felt sick for a while. .

"But..." Wei Qiuhua hesitated to speak.

Seeing the other party's hesitation, Zhou Xingchi grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her up, saying, "Don't give up, Sister Hua. If we really become popular in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to take care of the two of them?"

"Okay, okay. You don't need to pull me, why don't I go with you?" After speaking, he even complained, the little brat is quite strong.

The first row of the cinema.

Ye Jingcheng and Huang Jing came to the theater again to check the situation.

Huang Jing had popcorn in one hand and a soda in the other.As expected, Fat Boy's receptivity was very strong, and he was able to eat after reading it for the third time, and asked inarticulately, "Ah Cheng, have you read the newspapers these days?"
