Hong Kong Entertainment: Dream Back to 1979

　　"Sister Yazhi, it seems that she is coming back today. I have already asked her to go to No. [-], Repulse Bay Road, so you can pick up Shi Yaxuan tonight. Let the sisters get to know each other." He Chaoqiong said after a long silence. .

　　"I knew that Chao Qiong was the most caring." Ye Huainan praised.

　　"You know how to bully me. If it wasn't for me alone, I couldn't handle it, you animal! Humph!" He Chaoqiong said arrogantly.

　　Ye Huainan felt the overbearing power of the god-level Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. Almost all of the people he had intimacy with had reached the level of eternal youth, and his fighting power was so powerful that he was afraid.

　　When Ye Huainan brought Shi Yaxuan back to the renovated No. [-] Repulse Bay Road, Zhao Yazhi and He Chaoqiong had already arrived and waited for a long time.

　　He Chaoqiong looked at the tall, bumpy Shi Yaxuan who was only slightly shorter than Ye Huainan even in flat shoes.

　　Exquisite facial features, plus a touch of red lips, even this woman is tempted.

　　Zhao Yazhi also had the same expression.

　　The little emotions that the two women had left behind were instantly vanished.

　　She warmly welcomed Shi Yaxuan.

　　On the contrary, the male protagonist himself has become air and decoration.

　　Ye Huainan was cheeky several times and squeezed between them, but was pushed out by the three of them.

　　Looking at the three girls who were in harmony, they were helpless.

　　When the three girls chose the room, Shi Yaxuan was left in the master bedroom, but when it was time to go to bed, Zhao Yazhi and He Chaoqiong also squeezed into the master bedroom.

　　Ye Huainan was separated by a door.

　　With a sigh, he found a room next to the three girls and slept.

　　With the arrival of the entire Industrial Light and Magic team, the bottom floor of the Kangle Building was finally used.

　　The team, which was renamed National Special Effects, began a journey to upgrade special effects technology.

　　Since they were originally a group of people who liked technology, their eyes lit up when they saw the special effects technology that Ye Huainan took out bit by bit, not to mention the admiration for Ye Huainan.

　　Immediately, I forgot the sadness of leaving my hometown to Xiangjiang, and devoted myself to my study wholeheartedly, and "The Lion King" is the first work of the national special effects team.

　　A work that shocked the world.

　　Everyone cheered when they saw the finished product they had worked so hard for for two weeks.

　　At this time, the post-production of "Infernal Affairs" by the national film industry was also completed.

　　With the schedule of "Police Story", Ye Huainan naturally set the schedule of "Infernal Affairs" on the same day.

　　Since Shaw Brothers and Jiahe took the initiative to provoke him, Ye Huainan, a vengeful person, naturally became interested in him immediately.

　　Not to mention knocking them down, at least to suppress their arrogance.

　　The movie "Infernal Affairs" is the only movie in the recent All-Star Films, which has used all channels such as National Newspaper and National Satellite TV to jointly promote it.

　　The box office battle is about to start! .

Chapter 113

　　Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest also made use of all their own publicity channels, and spared no effort to fully promote the "Police Story" starring Chen Long.

　　Even more terrifying is the simultaneous release in nearly 40 theaters in two theaters.

　　How big is Xiangjiang?

　　Except for some remote places such as Kowloon in the New Territories, spread the nearly 40 theaters evenly, and you will see how densely distributed these theaters are.

　　As soon as you walk out of the house, you will see the promotion of "Police Story" all over the street.

　　On the first day of its release, "Police Story" achieved a box office of 230 million on the first day. Such box office data can only be described as horror.

　　All the media in Hong Kong also focused all their attention on this box office battle.

　　The war is about to start.

　　And All-Star Films' "Infernal Affairs", which was only shown in 21 theaters in the All-Star Cinema, had a box office of 155 million on the first day.

　　Due to the huge gap in the number of theaters on the first day of the two films, "Infernal Affairs" temporarily fell behind.

　　Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest directly spent a lot of money to buy several newspapers, repeatedly reported that "Infernal Affairs" was defeated by "Police Story", and hyped "Police Story" as a rare masterpiece by Chen Long over the years.

　　Although there was a big gap in the box office on the first day, Ye Huainan and everyone from All-Star Films did not panic at all, and continued to promote their films step by step.

　　The propaganda departments of the National News and National Satellite TV simultaneously exerted their efforts, and all kinds of propaganda methods were used together.

　　……

　　On the morning of the third day after the movie was released, in the office of the general manager of Jiahe

　　At this time, Qin Xianglin, who was no less famous than Chen Long, sat side by side on the sofa with Chen Long.

　　Qin Xianglin won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor twice in 1974 and 1977 with the films "Long Love" and "Man in the World".

　　The two also became close friends on the set and have always maintained a good friendship.

　　Qin Xianglin said with a smile: "Aaron, this time your "Police Story" turned around beautifully. According to the current momentum, the box office may exceed 3000 million 〃々."

　　Chen Long is a person who is easy to get carried away. He laughed when he heard this and said, "I don't know if it will break the 3000 million box office, but it must be much more than Ye Huainan's Infernal Affairs."

　　Qin Xianglin asked, "Then when are you going to hold the celebration banquet?"

　　Chen Long said arrogantly: "Wait until the arrogance of All-Star Pictures is completely knocked down."

　　At this time, the two who were chatting happily were interrupted by He Guanchang who walked in.

　　Chen Longchun smiled at He Guanchang and asked, "Godfather, how much was the box office yesterday?"

　　He Guanchang sighed, shook his head and said, "Aaron, the situation seems to be a little bad."

　　This time, "Police Story" is his turn over. There can be no problems. He asked nervously: "What happened?"

　　He Guanchang said: "Yesterday's single-day box office of "Police Story" has dropped to 175 million."

　　Qin Xianglin exaggeratedly said: "Isn't the box office on the first day 230 million? Why did it drop so much on the second day?"

　　He Guanchang raised the box office table in his hand and said, "This is not the most important thing. The box office of "Infernal Affairs" exceeded 200 million yesterday. If the one-day box office of "Police Story" continues to decline today, Shaw Brothers Cinemas Over there, it may continue to start reducing the number of screenings."

　　Originally, the cooperation between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest was a temporary alliance, and the relationship was naturally not that strong.

　　Chen Long also asked anxiously at this time: "How can this happen?"

　　He Guanchang sighed and said: "Alas. It's not all to blame those film critics, "Infernal Affairs" is far ahead of "Police Story" in word of mouth."

　　Chen Long abruptly sat back in his seat, all the strength in his body dissipated.

　　He said to himself, "What kind of monster is Ye Huainan? Why does every film have such a good reputation?"

　　He Guanchang repeatedly comforted: "Aaron, don't be too discouraged, there is no problem with the box office of "The Story of Police" breaking 2000 million. Besides, although "Infernal Affairs" is ahead in word of mouth, the box office will not necessarily surpass us."

　　Since the price of movie tickets in Xiangjiang has risen again, and the box office has exceeded 2000 million, Chen Long has no psychological pleasure at all.

　　What's more, many movies produced by All-Star Pictures have already exceeded the threshold of 2000 million, and they have launched an impact in the direction of 3000 million.

　　On the third day of the release of "Infernal Affairs", the single-day box office rose slightly to 210 million.

　　The box office of "Police Story" fell even worse, with a single-day box office of 136 million.

　　The reputation of "Police Story" is actually not bad, but "Infernal Affairs" is too much ahead in terms of overall storytelling.

　　As the saying goes, don't be afraid of bad goods, just be afraid to shop around.

　　There are two reasons why the box office of "Police Story" reached 230 million on the first day.

　　First, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest’s double-theatre cinemas, secondly, although Chen Long overturned a few times, the appeal of the box office is still there. Coupled with the overwhelming media publicity this time, many viewers have given attracted to the past.

　　It led to the unsatisfactory box office of "Infernal Affairs" of All-Star Pictures on the first day.

　　From the third day of release, the real box office of the two films began to widen the gap.

　　It lasted until the end of the first week, the cumulative box office of "Police Story" in the first week was 988, and the cumulative box office of "Infernal Affairs" in the first week was [-] million.

　　From a purely statistical point of view, Chen Long's "Police Story" won a small victory in this round, but in terms of the number of theaters released for the two films, the attendance rate of "Infernal Affairs" was a complete victory.

　　"Movie Weekly" also made a comprehensive (Zhao Qianhao) comparison of the two films, and the evaluation was more interesting. The film review wrote: "' '... Obviously, "Police Story" and "Infernal Affairs" " are two films that are out of date. "Infernal Affairs" is generally too advanced, if this film is put in ten years later, the box office response will definitely be more popular than it is now. And "Police Story" is too much in comparison. It is old. If it was placed in the early years, it would definitely be the best of the best, and it would be enough to sweep the box office of Hong Kong. It’s a pity. Now is now, neither ten years from now nor many years ago, so these two equally excellent films are both Couldn't live up to the director's expectations..."

　　At this time, Ye Huainan obviously also discovered this problem. The advanced nature really occupies the right time and place, but because of the people and people in the Xiangjiang film market at this time, they have not kept up.

　　Movies that are too advanced may not necessarily achieve very good results.

　　This also caused Ye Huainan to hesitate about the launch time of "The Lion King". .

Chapter 114

　　With the simultaneous release of "Police Story" and "Infernal Affairs", the box office of the two films is almost the same.

　　The final box office of "Police Story" was locked at 2875 million Hong Kong dollars, while the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" was locked at 2965 million Hong Kong dollars, ahead of less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

　　It is a pity that "Infernal Affairs" failed to break through the shackles of Hong Kong's [-] million box office.

　　Qin Xianglin looked at Chen Long who was depressed, and comforted: "It's not that I lost less than one million Hong Kong dollars, so I won't be so depressed."

　　Chen Long sighed, rolled the newspaper in his hand into a ball, stepped on it several times, and said, "These unscrupulous newspapers and magazines touted me so high at the beginning, and now they are less than a million box office, now. . . . the fuck!"

　　"Isn't the media just like that. You've been in the entertainment industry for so long, haven't you been used to it yet?" Qin Xianglin scolded with a smile.

　　Chen Long replied gloomily: "Where did I get this anger before, and after Ye Huainan was born two years ago, I stopped talking and found a place to drink."

　　"I've also been depressed to death recently. Qingxia has been arguing with me all this time. I heard her assistant say that she came to Xiangjiang alone, so it's not because she didn't see me. I'm so annoyed and go for a drink." Qin Xianglin said with the same depression.

　　After talking about a simple disguise, the two drove in the direction of Lan Kwai Fong. At this time, Lan Kwai Fong has become an indispensable landmark of Xiangjiang night.

　　At this time, it was 8 pm, and the whole Lan Kwai Fong was crowded with people.

　　"I heard that the entire Lan Kwai Fong is Ye Huainan's industry, I don't know if it's true or not?" Qin Xianglin said a little sour.

　　"How do you know?" Chen Long asked back.

　　"You didn't see the entire central area of ​​Huaxia City in Lan Kwai Fong, all of which are owned by the Quanmin Group." Qin Xianglin looked at Chen Long with an incredible look in his eyes.

　　"During the period of rapid development of Lan Kwai Fong, I happened to be filming in the United States. After I came back, Lan Kwai Fong has already risen from the ground." Chen Long explained.

　　"That's no wonder, I heard that there are a lot of hot girls in Like Yepu, so go in and play." Qin Xianglin said with glowing eyes.
