Chapter 752: A New Round of Box Office Wars

Thursday, January 1, 1981.

The first day of the new year coincided with the holiday, so there were a lot of people who came to see the movie.

Although the movies in Xinyicheng are the most anticipated, on this day, other film companies still gritted their teeth and launched their own films, striving to capture a good box office result during this time period.

Because it's another weekend, these consecutive days are basically not slow, so the people have plenty of time to relax and have fun.

In addition, everyone also wants to make a good omen.

Not only the three major theater chains, but also other scattered theaters and theaters, are also full today, and basically none of them are empty.

However, there are only so many viewers in Xiangjiang, so they will naturally have a choice to watch.

Judging from the current survey, most people will choose to watch "Best Partner", but there are also many people who are looking forward to Golden Harvest Hung Jinbao's kung fu film, and Wang Jing, the cutting-edge director of Shaw Brothers, also has a funny movie "Women's Armageddon".

To say that Wang Jing is really desperate, he finished filming "Police Investigation School" in October, and in a blink of an eye, he took over another movie, from the start of filming to the completion of production, that is, 30 days.

The reason why a drama was filmed for 30 days is because Wang Jing received a lesson from his last movie and hit the streets.

Yin Jun told him, "If you are not serious about the movie, it will repay you with the box office on the street", he firmly remembered this sentence, so after filming "Police Detective School", in the face of Shaw Brothers' request, he revised the script he had written before before starting filming.

Hung Jinbao's new film is called "Thief Zheng Ping", and the mode is a bit similar to "The Owl and Dumbo", with Hung Jinbao's head, I can't think of a super classic like "Five Lucky Stars" now, and the real creator of "Five Lucky Stars" is still Huang Bingyao.

In addition, Wu Siyuan himself also has a movie released, called "Coffee in the Middle of the Night", and he also found 12 theaters to co-screen, which can be regarded as a tiger's mouth, and he can organize so many theaters in addition to the three major theaters, which fully reflects Wu Siyuan's communication skills.

But the rest is not important, the most important thing is to watch the quality of the movie.

Therefore, as soon as the box office report on January 2 came out, everyone was in an uproar.

First place, "Best Partner", 1.8 million.

second place, "Women's Armageddon", 330,000.

third place, "Thief Zheng Ping", 270,000.

Fourth place, "Midnight Coffee", 160,000.

5th place......

The second to fourth places add up to a fraction of "Best Partner", which is really unexpected.

In the past, even if Yin Jun's movie came out, there had never been such a sweeping result!

I didn't expect the gap to be so big this time, can we really only let Yin Jun rule the film industry alone?

Of course, this statement is still a bit biased.

Because Cheng Long's movie has not been released at this time, and Xu Guanwen's movie has not been released, the movies of the two superstars in Xiangjiang have not faced the battle with "Best Partner", which is also an important reason why "Best Partner" has such a high box office.

It's just that the single-day box office of 1.8 million is really amazing!

The last one with such a high first-day box office was "Police Investigation School", which cost 90 million, but even if "Best Partner" adds Yin Jun's sky-high script fee, it will cost up to 20 million, such an amazing speed of gold absorption, I will have to break the box office of 13 million in two weeks!

As if to confirm everyone's speculation, on the Friday of the second day, "Best Partner" fell by 33% and cut the box office of 1.4 million, but on Saturday, it immediately rose to 1.8 million.

The high box office is one thing, but more importantly, everyone is very interested in the endless high-tech means and hilarious and heartwarming clips in "Best Partner", and some people often laugh in their stomachs.

On Sunday, the biggest rest day, and with the good word-of-mouth fermentation of the previous few days, "Best Partner" hit the box office of 2 million in one go, becoming the second film in Xiangjiang to break 2 million at the box office in a single day!

So in the first weekend and four days, "Best Partner" directly won the box office of 7 million, and the results and word-of-mouth were both popular.

The rest of the movies that were still clamoring to chase "Best Partner" before suddenly fell silent.

Except for Wang Jing's "Women's Armageddon", which won 1.9 million in four days in the first weekend, which was barely qualified, the rest were all lost and there were no pants left.

Especially Siyuan Film Company, "Midnight Coffee" They spent a full 4 million production costs, and invited Zheng Yuling and Deng Huanrong to star, but according to the box office of 850,000 in the first weekend and four days, it is estimated that the total box office will be forced offline if the total box office is less than 2 million, which is really a big loss!

Golden Harvest is actually not comfortable, Hong Jinbao fried cold rice again, but his grades are getting worse and worse, much worse than the summer file, which makes people inside Golden Harvest question, has this former kung fu star lost his charm and started to decline?

At the same time, there are some comments in the newspaper, thinking that it is now that the Xiangjiang movie has reached the stage of winner-take-all?

Although the Xiangjiang film market has gradually begun to prosper, if it is only one or two powerful, it will be a disservice to most filmmakers in Xiangjiang.

After all, most of the filmmakers in Xiangjiang belong to film companies, not agency companies like the United States, which greatly restricts their cooperation in films.

Different from several other sad faces, New Arts City feasted guests at the most famous Fulinmen Restaurant in Xiangjiang on Monday night, and invited a full 20 tables of banquets, and the cost of this alone was as high as more than 60,000!

There were a lot of reporters at the scene, and it was a thriving scene to see the stars from all walks of life in the new art city come to celebrate.

No wonder they rejoice.

After the box office came out in the first week, many overseas theater companies have come to buy out the local distribution of "Best Partner" at a high price.

Originally, Xu Guanjie was famous, plus Zhao Yazhi was a super goddess, and the combination of the two was combined with the overwhelming reputation and box office of "Best Partner", and it was no wonder that those theater companies didn't rush to ask for it.

The highest Japanese cinema chain company gives a buyout price of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, if you want to share the box office, it is 3% of the international practice.

Even the cinema operators in Southeast Asia, who have always been picky, have given a total price of more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars, plus Baodao and South Korea, the total price has now reached 30 million!

However, Lei Juekun was not in a hurry.

He is very optimistic about "Best Partner", and thinks that the box office in the second week can still perform well, and if the box office can be stabilized in the second week, the price can at least increase by a few million. - After all, the quality of a movie will definitely be completely visible after the second week.

It's just a week, and he can't afford to wait.

Lei Juekun can afford to wait, but some people can't afford to wait.

He is Wu Siyuan, who has suffered serious losses.

In the past two years, Wu Siyuan has to find Yin Jun to get a movie script every year, and the effect is very good, and he can earn at least about seven or eight million.

But he is also not willing to make money only with Yin Jun's script, so he has also made a lot of movies in the past two years, making and losing, but overall losing a lot.

And then this time, he had high hopes and felt that he could break through Yin Jun's famous work "Goodbye Seven Days of Love", but he lost so much that he couldn't have imagined.

A movie has a net loss of more than 3 million, no matter how much the house price in Xiangjiang soars now, this money is enough to buy 6 houses of 500 square feet!

In other words, if Wu Siyuan had used this money to invest in real estate instead of making movies a few months ago, he would have made more than 20%!

Wu Siyuan's family background was not thick, and he suddenly lost more than 3 million, which was really a bit nerve-wracking, and there was basically not much left of his savings in the past two years.

If there is another one like this, Siyuan Film Company will have to close its doors.

At such a time, who is Wu Siyuan the first thing to think of?

Of course, it's Yin Jun!

As long as Yin Jun is willing to make a move, then even if the price of his script has skyrocketed to 5 million, at least Wu Siyuan can earn three or four million and recover a lot of vitality.

In fact, the reason why Wu Siyuan didn't ask Yin Jun to get the script before was because the price that Yin Jun wanted was getting higher and higher, and it had reached the point that he couldn't afford it.

For example, Cheng Long's movie that went to the United States to shoot actually cost 10 million Hong Kong dollars!

and now "Best Partner", Xiangjiang filmmakers know that Yin Jun wants 5 million, and Xinyicheng must buy Yin Jun's scripts for the next two films, and he is not allowed to do it himself, and he has to start in the fourth part if he wants to do it himself.

Wu Siyuan was thinking at the time, his own Yin Jun's script, a movie only earned seven or eight million, Yin Jun shared the lion's share at once, he worked hard for a while, but only three or four million were in the account, isn't this too much of a loss?

So, he found a few screenwriters by himself, and he also polished the script well, thinking of investing a lot and getting a big harvest, but he didn't expect it to be a big investment in Dafu Street.

Now the strong contrast between "Best Partner" and "Midnight Coffee" is to tell Wu Siyuan with facts, you want to get rid of Yin Jun's influence and make a lot of money by yourself, it's really whimsical!

Wu Siyuan's best way should be to make small-budget movies, and wait until he has accumulated enough resources, and then continue to make medium-capital movies, and don't do big-capital movies - even the seven giants of Hollywood have gone bankrupt because of this, where is your small film company in Xiangjiang qualified to play big productions?

But in this impetuous society of Xiangjiang, Wu Siyuan was forced to make a big production, thus ushering in a fiasco.

There are reasons for this, as well as reasons for social atmosphere.

And now, it seems that the only one who can save Wu Siyuan is Yin Jun!
