Island Tycoon

Chapter 307

On October 10th, Golden Harvest will draw down "Project A" which is currently in theaters.

After the movie broke through 1000 million at the box office, it has been released for nearly ten days. Compared with the film’s soaring performance at the beginning, it has only won less than 300 million at the box office in these ten days, and the total box office has exceeded 400. [-].

If it were in the past, this box office result is definitely worthy of Zou Wenhuai's big feast and publicity.It's a pity that "Project A" is far less popular than "A Hero", whose box office hit nearly 600 million.

It's just that Ye Jingcheng gave it an extra period of time, and it will be a matter of time before the box office breaks through 3000 million.Even if Ye Jingcheng takes a shortcut to earn 200 million at the box office, he deserves the honor of being a 3000 million producer.

So it is not to blame that "Project A" is not shining enough, it is only to blame that "True Tomorrow" is more eye-catching than it."Project A" was withdrawn from the screen, and "Killer's Trenches" relayed the former as promised.

Zou Wenhuai may be resenting or cursing Ye Jingcheng somewhere now, what kind of freak is this kid?

When the general box office of 100 million movies on Hong Kong Island, he created the first 1000 million box office.

When the box office average rises to three or four million, his films have already broken through 400 million.Before the average box office rises to 2000 million, a box office of 500 million is about to explode.

At the same time, with Shaw Brothers doing enough publicity, "Blade Runner" also landed in its theaters.Let the outside world see that this war without gunpowder has nothing to do with Qingdeng, but a battle between Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers.

Both parties maximized their own advantages. Golden Harvest used Chenglong's appeal and Shaw Brothers used various publicity methods to make the audiences of the two theaters not full, but the movie tickets were sold out.

The biggest reason is scalpers. Humans are very flexible animals.

And these scalpers discovered the infinite business opportunities for reselling movie tickets from "The True Colors of Heroes", which was released in the southern theaters.Seeing such a big move by the two major film companies, there is a limit to how bad the film is, right?So one after another smelled fishy.

However, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers did not do what Qingdeng did, through purchase restrictions to achieve the greatest possible restrictions on scalpers.Perhaps in their minds, the emergence of scalpers has nothing to do with the operation of theaters, as long as they can sell all the movie tickets.

On this day, Lei Juekun invited Ye Jingcheng to the Peninsula Hotel for afternoon tea, and discussed the actions of the two major film companies.After all, audiences flocked to Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers theaters to consume, and the flow of people from Qingdeng and Princess Jin would naturally decrease.

As a result, the box office of "The True Colors of Heroes" dropped by [-]% that day. It seems that this is not much, but the box office data of "The True Colors of Heroes" has begun to weaken. After all, the one-month release period is enough to squeeze out its potential.

Now the daily box office is only over 60, and if you subtract 50%, it will not even reach 3000. If the film wants to break through the [-] million box office, it will undoubtedly increase the release time by several days.

Ye Jingcheng's advice was to let nature take its course, even if Jiahe or Shaw Brothers did something unfavorable to them, they could only use soldiers to cover it up.

Unless they release "The True Colors of Heroes" ahead of time, let alone whether they can find a good movie, is it necessary for Ye Jingcheng to give up the 3000 million score?

For Lei Juekun, if the box office can exceed 3000 million, although there is no real gain for him, but as a party with Qingdeng, Princess Jin also has a position to declare sovereignty with Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.

In this way, the two will not continue this topic.Lei Juekun originally planned to let Ye Jingcheng earn 200 million at the box office at the end of the day, so as to directly advance the drawing time of "The True Colors of Heroes".

But think about it, how much this will affect his reputation, even if the outside world recognizes him as a 3000 million producer.

Furthermore, the operation of the two cinema chains is still profitable. Although the amount of profit is not large, but the income during this period is added.Bring at least 2000 million profits to the Golden Princess, the biggest of which is the box office of four or six cents.

Secondly, Nanguo Cinemas used to operate the surrounding area before, borrowing the "rent" paid by the platform of Golden Princess, and finally the operation of the theater itself. It is said that the theater chain is still profitable, even if Lei Juekun wants to make a fortune, he is willing.

Another thing worth mentioning is that apart from the Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest companies, Ye Jingcheng also paid attention to a neglected object - An Le Film Company.

The boss of this company and Jiang Zhiwen, Ye Jingcheng already has a preliminary understanding of him, he may be lacking in ability, but his ambition is definitely no less than anyone else.

Even if he did not have the box office appeal of Chenglong, and the means and resources of publicity were not as good as Shaw Brothers, he still chose to quietly participate in this war.

The movie recently released on Broadway theaters is a movie with a full Hong Kong flavor in translation, called "My Uncle is in Difficulty".This movie is not a big investment, and the two stars include Jayne Wade and Richard Pryor, and they are not big stars at this time.

But this movie has its strengths too, as it's pure comedy.Based on the background of two little people being mistaken for a bank robbery, and successfully escaping through a prison cowboy competition, plus the process of breaking out of prison.

Relying on the method of placing characters in an environment that does not belong to them, it creates jokes that people don't need to understand the language too much, and can be understood simply and directly.

At present, Hollywood sci-fi films are indeed popular, and the premise is to have a perfect story, reasonable logic and the audience's approval.Otherwise, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west may not be as good as some low-cost productions.

Among low-cost movies, funny movies are the easiest to stand out.This is also the reason why he keeps a low profile. Jiang Zhiwen is not trying to compete with the two major companies for the box office, but is waiting for Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers to "go to the street" by themselves.

Because the release of science fiction films has certain risks, but it does not mean that Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest will definitely step on this risk.If a classic Hollywood blockbuster really came out, the result would not be something he could resist.

If Anle had declared war on the two companies beforehand, it would be good if he could do what he wanted. This would also help his personal reputation and the company's reputation, and he would be able to openly share the box office of the two companies.

Conversely, if either Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers produced a classic Hollywood blockbuster, wouldn't Jiang Zhiwen shoot himself in the foot?Not to mention indirect Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai.

Compared with these two tycoons, the current Jiang Zhiwen still has a long way to go in terms of level.Naturally, he didn't want to offend the other party for no reason, otherwise the other party really wanted to attack him, even if he moved out of his old bean, it might not be useful.
