Hong Kong Entertainment: Dream Back to 1979

　　With the progress of the plot, the mood of the audience is completely taken away by the plot.

　　When the funny scene appeared, the audience in the theater collectively laughed.

　　After several group bursts of laughter, the second half of the film ushered in tears. When the school teacher burned the rope that carried Zhu Xiucai's soul, some emotional audience couldn't help but burst into tears. .

　　……

　　When the theme song of "Happy Ghost" sounded, the audience applauded.

　　The movie just now brought them joy, so naturally they won't be stingy with their applause at this time.

　　Looking at the enthusiastic feedback from the audience, Lei Juekun knew that the movie had become a reality.

　　Early the next morning, the manager of the Golden Princess Cinema took the box office data of the two movies that premiered yesterday and handed them to Lei Juekun.

　　He said cheerfully: "Yesterday's "Happy Ghost"'s first-day box office has been counted, and the total box office has reached more than [-]. Although it is not as good as the "Junior Brother"'s [-] box office, it has also created the Golden Princess Academy. Best record for a line premiere."

　　You must know that while "Happy Ghost" was hyped, many newspapers followed up with Jiahe.

　　Although the promotion momentum of "Happy Ghost", with the help of "All-Star News", it has been pressing "Junior Brother" starring Chen Long.

　　But Chen Long won the Hong Kong box office champion in 1979, and his appeal is beyond doubt.

　　Lei Juekun was also overjoyed to be able to reach a comparable level.

　　In the current Hong Kong, even in popular movies, the highest box office in these years has not exceeded [-] million. At this time, in Lei Juekun's heart, there is a hunch that "Happy Ghost" will open a record of [-] million box office.

　　And things were just as Lei Juekun expected, the seat rate of "Happy Ghost" gradually climbed from the initial [-]% to full.

　　The box office data is increasing day by day, and the box office of "Junior Brother" in the first five days has always been lower than that of "Happy Ghost".

　　However, starting from the sixth day, the attendance rate of "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" starring Chen Long began to gradually decline, while "Happy Ghost" continued to remain close to full.

　　In the end, on the ninth day, the total box office of the two films was nearly equal, both breaking the seven million mark.

　　At this time, various newspapers and media have reported and speculated on who will win the Lunar New Year file.

　　Based on past experience, everyone has concluded that these two excellent films are sure to break through the Hong Kong box office record of [-] million.

　　Everyone's attention has been focused on whether there is a dark horse that can break through in one fell swoop, Xiangjiang's tens of millions box office mark.

　　At this time in the Shaw Brothers Building, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were watching the competition between the two box office behemoths.

　　Fang Yihua was the first to speak: "Princess Jin and Jiahe's attendance so far have remained at over [-]%. We are now showing "Modern Local Guys", which is undoubtedly asking for a dead end."

　　Shao Yifu also sighed, and said with emotion: "It seems that Shaw Brothers Pictures has really declined over the years. The recent film source was also taken from "Modern Local Guy", but with "Junior Brother Going Out" and "Junior Brother" Compared with "Happy Ghost", the quality is a lot worse, it's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach!"

　　"Ask for a collection of flower evaluation tickets!Of course a reward would be even better! ".

Chapter 24

　　Half a month after the film was released, the theaters of both Princess Jin and Jiahe gradually reduced the number of screenings of the two films.

　　At this time, Shao Yifu will also release "Modern Local Guy". He originally thought that he wanted to take advantage of the weakness of "Happy Ghost" and "Junior Brother".

　　It's a pity that with Zhuyu in front, the premiere of "Modern Local Guy" only had a [-]% attendance rate.

　　Although in the eyes of later generations, "Modern Tuo" is a subversive film.

　　But still can't escape, Shaw Brothers' late low-budget comedy.

　　Except for Lin Zixiang's songs, which you can listen to, there is no appreciation at all. The jokes are too familiar, and the audience is forced to laugh, but the design is neither grounded nor foreign enough.

　　Therefore, in this Lunar New Year file, they were completely defeated.

　　As a result, "Modern Local Guys", which was released at the latest, was the first to be painted under the simultaneous attack of "Junior Brother Going Out" and "Happy Ghost", and only received less than [-] million box office.

　　The news of the decline of Shaw Brothers has once again spread wildly in the circle.

　　Twenty-five days after its release, "Happy Ghost" took the lead in breaking through [-] million at the box office, reaching [-] million, followed by "Junior Brother" with [-] million.

　　A month after its release, "Junior Brother" and "Happy Ghost" were released at the same time.

　　The total box office of "Junior Brother" also exceeded [-] million, reaching [-] million.

　　The total box office of "Happy Ghost" reached an unprecedented [-] million.

　　The day after the movie ended.

　　The Hong Kong newspapers spontaneously began to report on the incident.

　　As the first film in Hong Kong to break [-] million yuan at the local box office, it also defeated the "Junior Brother Going Out" starring last year's box office champion Chen Long.

　　"Happy Ghost" naturally won a lot of praise, and Ye Huainan, the director and screenwriter, was even blown to the sky.

　　The film's starring Huang Baiming, as well as Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia, who have just made their debut, have all received great exposure.

　　In the end, the box office share of "Happy Ghost" reached [-] million. After deducting all the upfront costs of [-] million and related taxes, the total profit reached [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

　　In fact, for Ye Huainan's industry at this time, the profits are not high, and the profits brought by the third phase of "Made in the East" have not been high.

　　But making movies has always been Ye Huainan's dream.

　　He wants to promote the Hong Kong Film to the world.

　　Money has a price, dreams are priceless.

　　At the same time, Ye Huainan also fulfilled his promise to Huang Baiming, handed over the entire series of "Happy Ghost" to Huang Baiming, and gave him [-] million shooting funds.

　　Ye Huainan's only requirement for him is not to be fast, but to strive for quality.

　　After all, the slogan of All-Star Films is that all-star productions must be high-quality products.

　　This sign can't be smashed.

　　Huang Baiming, who had long wanted to direct himself, naturally complied.

　　At the same time, in his heart, there is also a bad breath, and he needs to come out himself.

　　But Lei Juekun, who just won the New Year's Box Office War, has his own ideas.

　　Through Lei Juekun, who had several contacts with Ye Huainan.

　　Knowing that Ye Huainan's All-Star Films is beyond his control.

　　Lei Juekun, who has a strong desire to control, naturally will not bet the fate of his theater chain in the hands of someone who is not under his control.

　　The Golden Princess Cinema Line led by Lei Juekun, although Lei Juekun has his own cinema.

　　But in the Golden Princess Cinema, there are other collaborators.

　　It was only because of Lei Juekun's wealth and wealth that he was allowed to come forward as the principal, and he could only rank second in the shares on the bright side.

　　Lei Juekun needed to increase his bargaining chips, so on the third day after the painting of "Happy Ghost", he made an appointment with Mecca and Shi Tian.

　　"Mecca, Shi Tian, ​​what do you think of "Happy Ghost" starring Huang Baiming?" Lei Juekun said to the two with a smile.

　　"The two of us went to see "Happy Ghost" at the beginning of its release. It is indeed a very good work." McGahn responded approvingly.

　　"This time, because of Mr. Lei's wise choice, the Golden Princess Cinemas shouldn't be making any less money!" Shi Tian also responded.

　　"In the face of Huang Baiming's success, don't you two have any ideas?" Lei Juekun took the lead in bringing up the topic.

　　"Mr. Lei, you are not all happy during the cooperation just now, why?" Mecca and Shi Tian asked in confusion.

　　"In business, there are only eternal interests in the business field, and there are no eternal friends and enemies." Lei Juekun said indifferently.

　　"Then, does Mr. Lei have any suggestions?" Mecca was not sure at this time, and Lei Juekun's true thoughts could only be asked back.

　　"I don't want a partner that I don't control." Lei Juekun said frankly.

　　After Mecca and Shi Tian got Lei Juekun's clear hint, they also understood that Lei Juekun must have an idea for his own struggle film company. After all, several films produced by struggle film company have achieved good results.

　　With nearly three hours of bargaining, Lei Juekun personally invested [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

　　Obtained a [-]% stake in the restructured Xinyicheng.

　　At the same time, Mecca and Shi Tian also got Lei Juekun's promise.

　　As long as the movies produced by Xinyicheng will receive the full support of the Golden Princess Cinema.

　　However, he also received a warning from Lei Juekun that it was not allowed to announce to the public before Xinyi City was growing. .

Chapter 25

　　The celebration banquet of "Happy Ghost" is scheduled, and everyone usually goes to the restaurant.

　　Ye Huainan directly contracted a whole floor of the restaurant.

　　The main creators of the crew and some close friends were invited.

　　And explain that you can bring relatives.

　　But what Ye Huainan didn't expect was that when he brought everyone to the lobby of the restaurant, he was surrounded by a dozen people.

　　A large flash of light flashed so that everyone could hardly open their eyes.

　　One of them held up the microphone and asked Ye Huainan: "Director Ye, this time, "Happy Ghost" broke the box office of Hong Kong's tens of millions, what do you think?"

　　Ye Huainan said with a smile as he walked: "Of course I'm happy. After all, "Happy Ghost" is the first work of our All-Star Films. The most important thing is to bring joy to everyone!"

　　Another reporter asked, "Happy Ghost" won the historical box office record in Hong Kong, and now "Junior Brother Goes Out" has gone on an expedition to overseas markets. Everyone knows Princess Jin's ability to distribute overseas, do you regret your choice? Cooperate with Princess Jin?"

　　Ye Huainan was stunned for a moment, and said to the reporter seriously: "Princess Jin is a good partner, although it has just started at this time, our cooperation is very pleasant, don't report randomly, be careful I will sue you for slander. "

　　Fortunately, Lei Juekun was already in the box at this time, otherwise he would have been mad at the reporter, even though what the reporter said was true.

　　Before the reporter could speak again, another reporter hurriedly asked: "Director Ye Da, are you giving up the overseas box office like this?"

　　Ye Huainan said nonchalantly, "Don't worry everyone, everything is progressing steadily."

　　Seeing that Ye Huainan couldn't ask anything, the reporters immediately turned their attention to Guan Zhilin and Wen Bixia who were accompanying him.

　　"Miss Guan, with the popularity of "Happy Ghost", you are about to become a public lover. Are you single now, and what about mate choice?"

　　Guan Zhilin said with a well-behaved look: "Currently single."

　　Then he glanced at Ye Huainan and said, "I think it's good for Director Ye to be like this."

　　Ye Huainan had a headache when she saw Guan Zhilin whose eyes were rolling.
