During New Year's Day, Cheng Long's fourth film in 1978 was almost over. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This film was released for a total of 23 days, and the cumulative box office in Xiangjiang was a little more than 2.54 million, and the selling price in other cities increased a little, reaching 2.7 million.

In addition to all the expenses and theater shares, Golden Harvest and Luo Wei Film Company earned a total of about 3.4 million, and because of the agreement to share it equally, Luo Wei got 1.7 million alone.

If this income had been calculated in the past, it would have made Luo Wei smile from ear to ear.

But the starring role of this movie is called Cheng Long, the previous "Serpentine Trickster" and "Drunken Fist" Xiangjiang box office and foreign box office continue to rise, as if Cheng Long, who is already a new generation of kung fu superstar, actually followed the next two movies, and brought him Luo Wei a profit of 4 million, which was really disappointing to Luo Wei.

But Luo Wei had no choice.

Because Cheng Long had already terminated the contract with him and compensated him 2 million, in a legal sense, he would not have been owed to him for a long time.

It's just that Cheng Long is quite kind, and he feels that Luo Wei pulled him back from the mixing worker at the construction site, and he has been exercising for several years to achieve today's achievements, and he owes him a favor.

So he made two movies for Luo Wei that Luo Wei was going to let him shoot in 1979.

But the interests of Golden Harvest must also be guaranteed, so Cheng Long only took over the two movies at a price of 100,000 yuan, and all the profits were shared between the two of them.

Reasonably, Cheng Long can't do better.

What's more, Cheng Long has already thought of a new movie for himself, the script has been polished for a long time, and he has also discussed it with his friends for a long time.

As the saying goes, if you sing and I will appear, Cheng Long's "Dragon Fist" is painted, and Hong Jinbao's "The Owl and Dumbo" has already been intensively promoted.

You must know that at this time, Sam Hung's "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua" is still in the hot release.

"Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua" has a good momentum, reaching 1.9 million in the first week, and although it fell a lot in the second week, the total score is around 3 million, which can still be expected.

But whether it is within Golden Harvest or in the owners and managers of major independent movie theaters, these can be ignored.

Because this "The Owl and Dumbo" is a movie specially created by Yin Jun for Hung Jinbao, it is said to be the first modern urban comedy martial arts movie in Xiangjiang.

After two days of screenings, in addition to Golden Harvest's 15 theaters all announced that they would release "The Owl and Dumbo", a total of 17 other cinemas also signed at least two weeks of screening contracts.

This means that "The Owl and Dumbo" has broken the record for the number of cinemas screened, becoming the first film ever released in more than 30 cinemas in Hong Kong.

This year's Spring Festival is the 28th, and on Friday, January 5th, "The Owl and Dumbo" will be grandly released.

The 31 movie theaters are more than the previous 24 "Seven Days of Wrong Love" and 25 "Seven Days of Love".

Whether it can support such a large broadcast base, many people are uncertain.

But whether it is Golden Harvest or other movie theater managers, they all think that this is an excellent movie, at least a movie that will perform well at the box office, as for how good it can be, they still don't know.

In anticipation, the box office results on the first day gave everyone a reassurance.

"The Owl and Dumbo" had a box office of 1.01 million on the first day!

broke the box office record of 850,000 yuan for "Seven Days of Love", and successfully became the first film in the history of Xiangjiang to exceed 1 million on the first day!

Although this is due to the fact that the ticket price has risen to about 6.2 yuan since New Year's Day in 1978, more than 1 million is exceeded, and many times only the absolute ticket value is recognized.

Hong Jinbao is still stable, but inside the Hong Jiaban and Garbo movies, many people have already exclaimed, shouting for him to have a celebration party.

As one of the producers and leading actors, Mai Jia couldn't help but sigh when he saw such results, Yin Jun's script was really wonderful, and it easily moved the people of Xiangjiang.

But what McGha didn't expect was that the box office results in the next few days would continue to climb.

When the box office results came out in the first week, the box office score of "The Owl and Dumbo" reached 5.07 million, breaking the box office record of the first week of the movie in Xiangjiang!

The previous record for the highest box office in the first week was set by the Xu Brothers' "Deed of Sale" last year, which exceeded 4 million at the box office in the first week.

But in just over half a year, "The Owl and Dumbo" has directly reached a new level, bravely breaking through the box office of 5 million, which is jaw-dropping.

This also made countless Xiangjiang filmmakers excited after envy, jealousy and hatred.

The results of "The Owl and Dumbo" are so good, of course, there are reasons for the sharp increase in the price of movie tickets, and there are also reasons why Yin Jun's script is really good, but more importantly, the film market representing Xiangjiang has continued to prosper, and more and more people have begun to enter the cinema and watch the movie!

If the overall market expands, it will be good for all filmmakers!

Back to "The Owl and Dumbo", seeing that "The Owl and Dumbo" is so profitable, Golden Harvest hurriedly painted "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua", which has been released for two weeks, if it was before, then Hong Jinbao They would definitely be unhappy, but now they won't, because the time period that has been withdrawn is all given to "The Owl and Dumbo".

The final box office of "Mr. Zan and Looking for Qianhua" is 2.76 million, which is tens of thousands less than that in the previous life, but this has nothing to do with the overall situation, it can still rank in the top ten box office in Xiangjiang in 1978.

With the support of Golden Harvest, although the number of viewers of "The Owl and Dumbo" dropped a little in the second week, the box office also reached 2.81 million, a decrease of almost 40%, which is not bad and belongs to the normal range.

At the same time, everyone's evaluation of "The Owl and Dumbo" is also very high.

"There are a lot of stunts, fights and speeding skills, all of which allow us to see a different kind of Xiangjiang movies, if we can get rid of some old things, I think Xiangjiang movies can have a higher pursuit. -- Great director Li Hanxiang.

"If I were to shoot it, I would definitely make the movie very miserable, but Hung Jinbao made the fights funny and thrilling, and it didn't make people feel uncomfortable, and I think this kind of shooting technique can be added to my movie. - Iron-blooded director Zhang Ce.

"I don't know any shooting skills or anything, anyway, it's just good-looking, I like it!"

"You've all seen a fight, but what I saw was the warmth of the owl and Dumbo. Although they are liars, they are little people with a sense of justice!"

"Actually, the police officer played by Feng Huanfan is also very good, although he used the owl and Dumbo, but he is also for justice, don't you see that in the end he let both of them go? I also like this ending!"

"Hahaha, how else to say that our family Junshao is a genius? This kind of plot concept, such an arrangement, such a reversal, can other screenwriters think of it? The box office is so good, it's all the credit of Junshao!!"

“……”

Seeing that the response in Xiangjiang is so good, publishers in other cities can't sit still.

Except for Cathay Cinemas, which has an agreement with Golden Harvest, which still uses dividends to distribute movies, the rest of the places sold a total of 2.9 million for the outright fee.

According to the distribution network of Cathay Cinemas, "The Owl and Dumbo" should also have a box office of tens of millions, and it may be able to reach 15 million.

Unless it is an anti-heaven existence like "Titanic" and "Avatar", any other movie will inevitably get worse and worse every week.

Because 7 movie theaters chose to release "The Owl and Dumbo", its box office fell to 1.32 million in the third week, but it was a stone's throw away from the 10.37 million box office of "Seven Days of Wrongness".

By the time the fourth week was drawn, the total box office of "The Owl and Dumbo" in Xiangjiang reached a record-breaking 11.25 million, officially replacing "Seven Days of Wrong Love" and becoming the No. 1 box office record holder in Xiangjiang.

According to the sharing contract signed between Golden Harvest and Garbo, Hung Jinbao can get 60% of all profits, including his production costs.

Originally, Golden Harvest signed a sharing contract with its satellite company of about 30%-50%, but because "The Owl and Dumbo" had Yin Jun's script, and Hong Jinbao and they made it very carefully, Golden Harvest adopted a stepped sharing model.

The starting point of the share is 5 million, the highest is 10 million, and the overall profit share of more than 10 million is 60%.

Not only Golden Harvest, but also several other independent cinemas have also been coordinated by Golden Harvest and divided in this way.

Note that this is talking about profit sharing, not box office sharing - cinemas and cinemas also have box office sharing.

According to this ratio, before Cathay Cinemas has finished screening "The Owl and Dumbo", Garbo can get about 4.7 million Hong Kong dollars.

This alone is enough to remove all the production costs, including Yin Jun's script fee, and make a net profit of 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Coupled with the fact that Cathay Cinema easily broke through the box office equivalent to 12 million Hong Kong dollars in two weeks, the profit of 5 million yuan for this movie is absolutely certain!

Because of this, on the second day of the painting of "The Owl and Dumbo", Hong Jinbao was generous and held a banquet at the Big Three Yuan University, and almost all of the staff, Golden Harvest personnel, movie theater managers, etc., came to the scene, plus reporters from the entertainment industry, and even reporters from TV stations, it can be described as very lively.

Hung Jinbao, who set a new box office record in Xiangjiang, was drunk, but he was also full of red light, laughing when he saw people, extremely glorious and happy.

And it's no wonder.

It has been more than ten years since Hung Jinbao debuted, and he has been the protagonist for three or five years, but he has never been so beautiful.

Although it does not necessarily mean that Hung Jinbao will win the box office championship this year, the hope is still very big.

The banquet was star-studded, but many people regretted that they did not see Yin Jun, the screenwriter of "The Owl and Dumbo".

Listening to Hong Jinbao, Yin Jun was unable to participate because he had important things.

Many people also understand that this is mostly Yin Jun's temper, he doesn't like lively scenes at all, so this kind of celebration will be pushed back.

Thinking that the top two movies at the box office in Xiangjiang today are all scripts written by Yin Jun himself, and his strength in movies is obviously as good as in TV series, and many people's minds are suddenly hot.

Of course, it's not that they're going to use a horizontal one.

Today's Xiangjiang movies are still in the middle of exploration, and the Xiangjiang government is not as strict as it was in the future, and there are more places for the community to make money, and there are really few people who can watch the movie.

The people who come to make movies, except for people who really like movies, are some speculators.

All they are thinking about now is how to use money to impress Yin Jun and make their movies profitable.
