Chapter 509 The biggest tragedy in 1988(3/3)
of intensity.
Nowadays, Lam's Pictures has taken advantage of the trend and taken the place of New Art City. It lacks a hand-to-hand battle to establish its reputation in the Hong Kong film industry.
In the words of Tao Yushu in an interview with the media: Lin's Pictures is in need of a whetstone, try the edge of the sword in your hand!
This sentence may seem a bit out-of-the-box when used in news reports, but unexpectedly it has been favored by many media and readers.
The reason why the media praises it is very simple. The gossips between news figures are popular, and the sales of their publications are high!
And readers sincerely admire Tao Yushu. In just two or three years, Lin's Pictures, a fledgling film industry star, has stood out with unparalleled strength.
Now, he can compete with Jiahe, the giant in the Hong Kong film industry. No matter whether he wins or loses, his courage and ambition alone make people dare not look good.
"Police Story Continuation" stars Cheng Long, and "The Gambler" stars Stephen Chow.
Two strong films and two major movie stars condensed the old-new competition in the Hong Kong film industry, and directly made this year's summer film festival in Hong Kong popular.
Jiale, Jade, Lydia, President, Mandarin --- all Hong Kong theaters are overcrowded.
On the film schedules of these theaters, the two movies "Police Story Continuation" and "The Gambler" account for nearly 90% of the film schedules.
Those movies that were originally being released or had just been released were so good that they were cut in half when a spark hit the earth. Some of them were simply canceled without leaving any bones.
On the first day of release, "Police Story 2" took in a box office of HK$2.61 million, and "The Gambler" took in a box office of HK$2.25 million. It seems that Lam Pictures' performance was slightly inferior.
By the fourth day, the box office of the two movies was basically the same, with a difference of less than 20,000.
In the last two days of its first week, "The Gambler" surpassed "Police Story 2" at the box office in a single day.
On the first day of the second week, the first-week box office of the two movies was released. "Police Story" topped the box office list for the week with 15.49 million Hong Kong dollars, and "The Gambler" had a box office of 14.63 million Hong Kong dollars, finishing at a disadvantage of less than 900,000.
second.
Among the two, the one with the best performance was "The Young Master" starring Chow Yun-fat, with a box office of 4.58 million Hong Kong dollars. This is because this movie was released two days early, and some other movies were even worse.
Counting "Police Story 2" and "The Gambler", there are a total of 16 films showing at the Hong Kong Film Market this week.
Three films were released directly after the release of these two films.
Of the remaining 11 movies, only two, including "The Passionate Son", had a box office of over one million, and the remaining 9 works together could reach the level of "The Passionate Son" at the box office.
The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.
The eldest brother and the second child are fighting, and the third child, the fourth child, and the fifth child are all gone.
Faced with such unethical practices by Jiahe and Lin, various film company bosses and directors complained to the media about the miserable experiences of their films, attracting the attention of many Xiangjiang citizens.
However, these news reports did not arouse public sympathy for other film companies and movies, but instead made everyone see the excitement.
