After several months of preparation and filming and production, and because of the theater chain, the time was temporarily adjusted several times, and "Police Detective School" finally ushered in the day of its release.

Japan and South Korea were the earliest in the theaters of this joint screening.

They were released at 6 p.m. Hong Kong time, followed by 7 p.m. in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and other places, then Thailand and Europe, and finally the United States.

A group of actors who starred in the filming, after filming in September, it stands to reason that they should go back to their respective homes.

But except for Jin Shijie, Rowan Atkinson and Seiko Matsuda, the rest of Li Xiuman and Eddie Murphy did not go back, but waited to see the results of the film's release.

Tonight, they put on suits and followed the crew to a movie theater in Central to watch their own movies with the audience.

In fact, they watched it several times when they edited it, but none of these were as intuitive as they would have looked in the theater, not to mention that they wanted to see how the audience viewed the movie.

The audience in Xiangjiang didn't worry about whether the movie was good or not, because this was a script written by Yin Jun!

So Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers teamed up for the second time and opened 42 movie theaters in one go, and everyone bought it on the first day, and at 7 o'clock, it was full.

The movie didn't disappoint them, and less than three minutes into the movie, a group of people burst into laughter, and laughed from beginning to end.

"Haha, it's so funny, my parking boy dares to stop like this, I'll just throw him out!"

"Stupid, you can be cheated when you cut your hair! Look at their aggrieved little eyes!"

"It's still the funniest little fat man who broke into the principal's house!"

"Hahaha...... Instructor Harry is so wronged, it's not that he wants to peek at the girls taking a bath!"

The principal's mood was so terrifying, he thought it was Zhang Guorong under the podium......"

“……”

A laugh in three minutes, a high-rise explosion in ten minutes, and people of all colors perform together, giving people a sense of joyful reunion.

But "Police School" is not only funny, but also encourages and inspires each other, and strives to change from waste, etc., which are very positive.

Coupled with the happy ending of the reunion, it is naturally more in line with the audience's appetite.

It wasn't until after watching it that I walked out of the theater, and several friends could laugh and talk while walking, and the laughter continued.

If someone asks them if they look good, these people will give a thumbs up without exception: "Can there be a bad movie about Junshao? Go watch it, your stomach will burst with laughter!"

Zou Wenhuai, Shao Yifu and Yin Jun were drinking tea at the Peninsula Hotel.

From time to time, his subordinates came to tell them about the reactions of people at the gates of various theaters, as well as the sales of tickets in various theaters.

Listening to the good news all the way, Zou Wenhuai's face was already smiling.

There is no way to know the box office of Japan and South Korea for the time being, but the basic market of Xiangjiang seems to have stabilized.

At the same time, he also sighed in his heart, it seems that the script really occupies a big factor, compared to the previous "Killer Trench", which had a bad reputation, this kind of "Police Investigation School", where half of the actors are foreigners, can be so popular, it has nothing to do with whether the actor is from Xiangjiang or not.

Shao Yifu was also laughing, "Raymond, you know now, right? Sometimes it's not that you are bold and come randomly, and you will get results! You still have to be steady, if you continue to mess around like this, I'm afraid that the Japanese and Koreans will have to withdraw their capital, right? Do you want me to buy some of your shares?"

Zou Wenhuai is not a good stubble.

Hearing this, he nodded, "Yes, it's really not good to act recklessly, we still have to be more cautious, for example, follow Ah Jun to invest, this is very good! Our "Raiders of the Lost Ark" has earned 25 million US dollars, which is enough for us to make several movies in North America!"

"Humph!"

Shao Yifu was a little speechless, not to mention that he was not as lucky as Zou Wenhuai and caught up with "Raiders of the Lost Ark", even if he ran into it, I am afraid that he would not dare to follow the raise.

Then again.

Shao Yifu is also an old and cunning man.

Now that the first battle of "Police Detective School" has been successful, Japan and South Korea are estimated to have no big problems, as long as the box office in Europe and the United States follows up, it proves that Yin Jun not only has an international film investment vision, but also has the ability to internationalize Xiangjiang films.

When he let go of Li Xiaolong, he was ridiculed for 10 years, how could Shao Yifu, such a cautious person, not remember?

He not only remembered that Zou Wenhuai dug Li Xiaolong and stole the victory that should have belonged to him, but also remembered the grand occasion when Golden Harvest opened the door to the entire film world.

Therefore, when Shao Yifu knew a few days ago that Golden Harvest bought a script from Yin Jun at a sky-high price and was about to enter Hollywood again, he pretended not to know very calmly.

If Jiahe hits the streets, then it's best to see how they fill this big hole.

If even this movie is successful, Shaw Brothers will have to ask Yin Jun for a script and go to the world stage.

Well, of course, the main thing is to make a lot of money.

Yin Jun originally didn't want to come here and drink tea with the two old men.

Originally, Guan Zhilin invited Yin Jun to watch a movie tonight, and then went home with Brother Jun.

Don't look at Guan Zhilin's young age, but out of her incomparable obedience and love for Yin Jun, the bed is very well-behaved, and she can do whatever she wants, which really makes Yin Jun very happy.

In contrast, Zhao Yazhi is much more shy and reserved, but it is also a great pleasure to watch the beautiful female sister shyly submit to herself.

As a result, the two of them were so disturbed, Zhang Bingqian took her children to watch a movie today, so naturally Guan Zhilin couldn't come to Yin Jun's side at night.

Now seeing the two of them fighting each other the same as before, Yin Jun didn't feel a headache, "Sixth uncle, Uncle Huai, we are here to see the box office, not to quarrel." ”

"Hehe, according to this situation, is there anything else to worry about at the box office?" Shao Yifu said with a smile, "The box office of Xiangjiang will definitely break 20 million, and it is not impossible to break 30 million!"

"I'm not so optimistic, for the local box office in Hong Kong. Zou Wenhuai said, "Although half of the actors are Chinese, the narrative style of the whole story is still European and American. In Xiangjiang, it should not exceed the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but you can look forward to it in Europe and the United States. ”

Shao Yifu didn't raise the bar with him in this regard.

Because no matter how good or bad the box office of Xiangjiang movies is, it will not have much impact on the overall situation.

The total investment of "Police Detective School" is 60 million in cash and 30 million in cost.

According to the usual convention, it is basically a box office of 3 times the investment amount in order to be regarded as a return to the capital, and the future can be regarded as earning.

This means that a box office of 180 million Hong Kong dollars is needed to ensure that there is no loss, and the extra three will be divided together.

Hong Kong's highest box office so far is 43.5 million for "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which is largely due to Spielberg and Harrison Ford, and a small part is due to the fact that 50 theaters are released together.

"Police Investigation School" does not have much capital, the biggest benefit is the script written by Yin Jun, and then Zhang Guorong, Wei Xue, Zhong Zhengtao, Zheng Zeshi and a group of them are also stars, but there are not many other factors to add points.

Therefore, whether it is Shao Yifu or Zou Wenhuai, the highest estimate of the box office of "Police Investigation School" in Xiangjiang is only 30 million.

30 million and 180 million are obviously disproportionate.

Only the box office in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States is the key to making money.

"Anyway, the United States is not very accommodating, so we were given more than 400 screens, most of which are still in California, where there are many Chinese. Zou Wenhuai talked about the overseas box office, and sighed a little: "This is the disadvantage of being controlled by others, if I have money, I will establish my own theater chain in the United States, so that it can be more convenient to distribute our movies." ”

Shao Yifu sneered when he heard this, "Raymond, are you a fool's dream? Not to mention how much it will cost, in North America, do you think you can make a lot of money by opening a movie theater? I don't know where there are many people who lose money when they open a movie theater." ”

"Of course, it doesn't mean that it's good to have your own theater. First of all, the quality of the movie must be passed, and it can't just be our Golden Harvest family to produce good movies, and we must let the movies of Xiangjiang bloom, so that we can gain a firm foothold in the United States, gain a firm foothold in the world, and export our Xiangjiang film culture. Zou Wenhuai continued to add.

Shao Yifu felt that Zou Wenhuai was criticizing his conservatism and inaction again, today was a good day, he closed his mouth and did not argue with Zou Wenhuai.

But Yin Jun on the side admired Zou Wenhuai again.

Zou Wenhuai has a total of two steps, the first is to have his own distribution channels and theaters, and the second is that there must be enough good films to constantly bombard the market.

In the previous life, Wanda only achieved the first point, they had the first cinema chain in China, the United States and Europe, and became the world's largest cinema company, but because there were not enough Chinese movies to conquer the city, they could only make some hard-earned money in the end.

In the previous life, Hollywood in the United States did the second point.

They relied on the bombardment of the seven giants in turn, basically maintaining the rhythm of blockbusters attacking every month, and even the rhythm of blockbusters a week in the summer and Christmas and New Year files, which directly collapsed the box office markets of all other countries.

However, they are not a complete victory.

Because at least in China, there is a domestic film protection month, and generally for a month between June and August, no foreign blockbusters are introduced.

And when the same Huaguo Da director movie comes out, Huaguo cinema businessmen will not hesitate to lower the number of American blockbusters and make concessions for the films of Feng Luoya, Ning Hao and others.

If the Americans had a big cinema chain in China, then these situations could be avoided a lot, and even blockbusters appeared every week, directly crushing the Chinese film industry - you know, the number of moviegoers is basically fixed, if you attract fans, then not many people watch domestic movies in the same period.

Of course, the Chinese government will not allow this.

But the United States doesn't care about this, as long as you are filming and screening properly and meeting the regulations, then it doesn't matter what you put in this theater.

If according to Zou Wenhuai's concept, with theaters and distribution channels in hand, plus three or five large film companies, bombarded with blockbusters in turn, I dare not say that we can conquer the American market, at least we can occupy a place that cannot be ignored!

Yin Jun once again felt that his support for Jiahe was the right one.

With Zou Wenhuai's foresight and courage to do things, as well as such a group of elite soldiers under his command, Golden Harvest really has the strength to become a giant in the Chinese film industry!
