Chapter 207 My Love from the Star starts broadcasting

Zhao Donghuai's guess was not wrong. On the 29th, more than 300,000 theaters in the mainland screened Jurassic Park, with a box office of more than one million on the first day, and more than one million on the 30th.

It’s National Day. In the 1980s, there were only two days of National Day holiday.

However, the two-day holiday did not affect the fluctuation of the box office. On the first and second days, it was more than one million yuan each, and on the third day, it was still more than one million yuan. Even between 0:00 and 8:00 every day, thousands of houses in every city

In theaters, eighty-nine adults can sit in this kind of schedule.

Even if 10% or 20% of the seats are missing, there are often people who have bought tickets long ago and thought about coming to see them then, but then failed to make it and overslept...

The crowds of people who treat Wanjia Cinemas as a free hotel have really contributed a lot to the box office.

It can be said that the box office revenue of one film (Jurassic Park) during the National Day period was indescribably stable.

Except that there were only seven screenings on the first day, and the box office was less than 1.2 million yuan, the figures for the remaining days were basically stable at 1.5-1.6 million yuan. From the screening to 24:00 on the 5th, in seven days, the entire box office revenue had exceeded 1,000 yuan.

Thousands of RMB.

October 6th.

On Hong Kong Island, as countless citizens wake up one after another, they pass by a system of newspaper vendors and buy a copy of the Kowloon Daily News or the Oriental and Sing Tao Daily News.

Citizens were surprised to find that the headlines on the front pages of most newspapers were.

Congratulations to Jurassic Park for hitting 10 million at the box office in Mainland China in seven days!

However, this one exceeded 10 million in seven days, and there was a special mark explaining that it was 30 cents per ticket, which meant it exceeded 10 million. If calculated based on Hong Kong's 15 Hong Kong dollars per ticket, it would already be 50 times the profit... 500 million

The box office is up.

This is a record of more than 30 million moviegoers, and box office data of more than 10 million yuan in thousands of theaters.

As soon as this data came out, ordinary citizens were shocked and didn't think much about it, but film and television practitioners were all shocked and confused.

Jiahe is open for business.

Zou Wenhuai was taking some data and went out to visit Hong Yinbao with He Guanchang. After arriving at Debao, Zou Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "Sanmao, once the private theaters in the mainland came out, their box office appeal was huge.

It’s really powerful!”

"We only have a total of over 20 million people in Haowan, Hong Kong..."

"But Jurassic Park has contributed more than 30 million moviegoers in just seven days and one week, which is incredible!"

"This is the reason why Wanjia has not penetrated into most prefecture-level cities. If ordinary prefecture-level cities were all built, the viewing power would be unimaginable."

He Guanchang also grabbed the newspaper and exclaimed, "If these 30 million moviegoers in the mainland are converted into Hong Kong fares, that would be a box office of 500 million in seven days. I know it is unrealistic to significantly increase the price, but for 30 cents per ticket, in the future

If it is raised to 50 cents or 60 cents, it will be a box office of 20 million!"

"The market is still expanding rapidly... Once the price rises to one yuan per ticket in the 1990s, it will be more than 30 million in seven days, which is more powerful than the final revenue of most films in Hong Kong."

Hong Qinbao laughed, handed the cigars, and invited the two tycoons to take a seat. "In early May this year, when Wanjia branches opened in Bianliang, Luoyi and other secondary priority development cities, there were a total of more than 330 stores."

"Now in October, many Wanjia branches in ordinary prefecture-level cities are almost fully decorated and are about to open. It is estimated that by the Spring Festival, all branches in ordinary prefecture-level cities will be sorted out."

"A city must have at least one or two or three branches."

"That means it will double or triple. The branches, including theaters, will expand to seven or eight hundred. By then, Zou Sheng, He Sheng, if you want to make a lot of money, as long as you make wonderful movies, you won't be afraid of not being able to make money."

"With the current situation, as long as the film can be released on a large scale and cost 30 cents a ticket, the mainland can still support stronger box office data than Wan Province, Star, Malaysia and other places."

Zou Wenhuai smoked a cigar and nodded repeatedly, "We need to focus on the mainland market. If Xu Ke's A Chinese Ghost Story series is released in the mainland this year, then the figures will probably be exaggerated."

A Chinese Ghost Story is definitely inferior to Jurassic Park, and its impact pattern is different, but as long as it can be released accurately and stably, and collect box office, the box office power of the mainland will really surpass that of the provinces, stars, Malaysia, and Taiwan.

Or refers to the sum of those places!

Originally, the box office performance of movies in the Mainland market was not bad in the 1980s. There would always be one blockbuster movie with a box office of tens of millions and hundreds of millions per year. However, the box office data of public theaters was vague and there was no detailed and comprehensive statistics and accounting.

Therefore, Hong Kong Haowan Film and Television can only ignore it if they don’t get much money.

After the 1990s, with the development of technology, the current video tapes were rapidly replaced by VCD and DVD, costs plummeted, and piracy became rampant. The performance of the film industry? It belongs to the serious and critical level...

Not only the box office of mainland movies has been in decline for ten years, but also Hong Kong's Haowan, many of which have been killed by piracy.

It was not until the emergence of private cinemas after the millennium that people became rich. Watching movies and making friends became one of the mainstream modes. Watching movies in large cinemas was indeed much more comfortable than watching pirated movies on small screens.

The film industry gradually came to life, and after entering the 10s, it exploded in all directions.

Zou Wenhuai doesn’t know the future of these original trajectories, but he knows one thing: as long as the movie tickets are cheap and affordable to the general public, good movies will definitely have good box office returns.

The box office of Wanjia in mainland China is even lower than that of Hong Kong Island!

Everyone can easily afford it, and going to the movies is a negligible amount of money for your financial expenditure. Then all branches in ordinary prefecture-level cities are open and open for business.

This huge box office market is really going to take off!

While excited, Zou Wenhuai suddenly laughed and said, "Sanmao, what do you think we jointly make a martial arts film?"

So far, major science fiction, costumed martial arts, Republic of China, and even fairy tale series like A Chinese Ghost Story have all been relatively easy to pass censorship and go to theaters.

However, it is not easy for movies involving modern crime and gangsters to pass review in the mainland.

Hong Yinbao also became interested, "Will Aaron and the others work together again?"

Zou Sheng laughed and said, "You and our fellow apprentices and brothers perform together on the same stage, which is the most appealing thing."

Hong Qinbao was delighted, "That's true, but we still have to wait until the second part of Ip Man and A Biao's film is finished."

Cheng Long has been preparing for Police Story 3 since July 13th. Of course, Hong Yanbao has not been idle. Between June and July, after Ip Man swept Hong Kong's Haowan, Ip Man 2 was started in August.

.

The film was about the story line of Ip Man opening a gym and recruiting disciples after coming to Hong Kong, and then defeating the ghost boxing champion.

The script provided by Zhao Donghuai is almost the same as the original Ip Man 2. After all, he revised a lot of the script in order to get Guy Gai to make a cameo. When faced with the second film, he took action again.

In the second part, the Hong Fist masters played by Ip Man and Hong Yanbao fled to Hong Kong together and opened martial arts gyms respectively. They competed with the already famous local martial arts gyms, kicked off gyms, etc., and then when a tornado hit, Hong Yanbao died in the battle...

Ip Man defeated the British boxing champion.

It is still a blockbuster that deeply reflects how the Chinese were oppressed under the rule of the ghosts in the 1950s and 1960s, and how miserable their lives were, and it is a blockbuster that arouses national sentiment.

Will this be suppressed by the Hong Kong government? The problem is not big, just like Lame Hao and Lei Luo Zhuan, they also reveal how the high-level ghosts collect black money and prey on the citizens.

Xiang Shisan was able to clear things up, and getting to Zhao Donghuai was no problem at all.

From August to October 6th, Ip Man 2 has been filmed a lot, and it is in the middle and late stages. Speaking of this, Hong Yanbao said excitedly, "We are waiting for a month to complete the filming. Ip Man 2 may not be able to be filmed."

It will be released in the Mainland."

"If you can get there, then..."

By the end of the year and after the Spring Festival, Wanjia branches will gradually expand to 700 or 800, covering most prefecture-level cities. This will be done one after another.

He is waiting, it’s not that there is no hope for Ip Man 2 to take advantage of the big east wind.

Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang looked at each other and began to envy each other. It was difficult for the big movie Police Story 3 to be released in the mainland. Who made the prototype of the Eagles escape from the mainland and cause harm to the Li Chao people in Hong Kong Island?

Then go to Tokyo to cause harm to others?

Even if the prototype of such a story is captured and sentenced by Cheng Long and Bruce Willis in the movie...but it would be a bit strange if it was released on a large scale in the mainland.

At this moment, Hong Qinbao suddenly said, "Zou Sheng, have you ever thought about making a big special effects movie like Shushan like in 1983? As long as it can be filmed, it won't be too difficult to release it."

Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up, "Yes, I have really considered it, but it's hard to find a director. I finally understand that the most important thing about a movie with big special effects is that the story cannot collapse, and it cannot be confusing so that the audience cannot understand it."

"Otherwise, no matter how good the special effects are, people will be confused and unable to watch it."

"Xu Ke had too many ideas that year, integrating countless characters into just 100 minutes. There were too many people, it was messy and there was no plot..."

"Blood collapse is so powerful. On the other hand, if you look at Jurassic Park, Super Body, and the unresolved love between ghosts and ghosts, A Chinese Ghost Story 1, 2, 3, which one is not a simple and clear story that can be understood at a glance?"

Hong Yinbao also nodded, "Yes, I'm not afraid that the story will be cliched and simple, but I'm afraid that if you want to shoot too many things, you won't be able to explain it and will be confused, let alone the audience."

A few people were still chatting when the office door was suddenly pushed open. While San Mao and others were in a daze, Lin Zhengying walked in holding a few newspapers and said, "Fuck, something big happened."

“It’s really lawless over there in Seoul.”

"At Zhang Guorong's concert in September, Congressman Ahn, who begged our Wanjia Retail to enter South Korea, was ambushed on his way home yesterday and was shot three times in the back. He went straight to rescue him."

"Another Congressman Chen was also ambushed in a car accident and suffered a direct fracture. Before he was carried to the emergency room, he was still appealing to the media to do everything for the people of Seoul..."

"In comparison, when we opened our first branch in Tsim Sha Tsui, both Li Chao and Yihe were very kind and serious businessmen."

Following A Ying's words, Hong Yinbao and the other three were shocked. They all came over to read the news and newspapers.

These are several daily morning newspapers published in South Korea. They are all in English and they cannot understand them. However, these newspapers already have paragraphs of handwritten Chinese characters that serve as translations.

After hurriedly reading some translated texts and photos, Hong Yinbao was stunned and said, "Fuck, isn't Yu Tian such a bastard? So cruel?"

"That's a congressman! We are doing ordinary business projects and doing things legally, but they are so cruel to congressmen?"

Zou Wenhuai, "..."

Zou Sheng also felt that Rakuten from South Korea was too much!

You don’t deserve to be a son of a man, you don’t deserve to be a son of a man! In the competition in the supermarket industry, you are making it like drug lords are grabbing territory. Is it appropriate?
