Chapter 197 197 [Movie Box Office]
February 1st, Monday
The New Year's Eve holiday has passed, the excitement on the streets has dissipated a lot, and it has begun to return to its previous level.
"Autumn Fairy Tale" has been in theaters at Shaw Brothers for 8 days, and at Golden Harvest and New Arts City for 3 days. The total box office has exceeded 5 million yuan, and the box office has crossed the 10 million threshold. Doesn't seem to be a problem.
The box office rankings of the Spring Festival movies ahead of "Autumn Fairy Tale" are "The Best Partner", "The Dragon Master", "Shaolin Temple", and "The Wrath of the Sea". Among them, the box office of "The Best Partner" It has exceeded 8 million yuan and has the opportunity to challenge the new record of 20 million yuan.
As a literary film, "Autumn Fairy Tale" ranks in the top five at the box office, which shows the potential of this film.
Baoxiang Film Company Conference Room
Luo Qihong, Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun are discussing the box office of "Autumn Fairy Tale" and other matters.
“It has only been released for one week and it has a box office of 5 million yuan, which is already amazing. I originally thought that "Autumn Fairy Tale" could have a box office of 5 million yuan, which is very good. Now A box office of over 10 million is a sure thing," said Cen Jianxun with a bright smile.
Luo Qihong glanced at Cen Jianxun and had to say that this guy was really ugly. It was surprising that he married a beautiful wife.
"It's gratifying that "Autumn Fairy Tale" has a box office of 10 million, but I am more optimistic about how many awards "Autumn Fairy Tale" will win in the film industry. I suggest that after it is offline, send the film to Bay Area, Paris, etc. "Luo Qihong is very optimistic about "Autumn Fairy Tale" and wants to use this movie to build the reputation of Baoxiang Film Company.
Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun looked at each other and agreed with Luo Qihong's suggestion.
"Okay! In order to make "Autumn Fairy Tale" better at the box office, I will dub it as soon as possible and send it to various parts of Southeast Asia and Europe." Hong Jinbao is more optimistic about "Autumn Fairy Tale".
"Yes!" Luo Qihong nodded. "The filming of "Five Lucky Stars" must be completed as soon as possible and strive to be released in May. I suggest that the company ensures that it shoots at least 6 movies this year and the box office is no less than 80 million yuan."
Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun opened their eyes. This level of box office is really scary. No one can guarantee that every movie will have a box office of more than 10 million yuan, not even a guarantee. Movies make money.
"Luo Sheng, are the steps we have set too high? I think shooting 4 movies with a box office of 40 million yuan is already very good." Hong Jinbao said.
"Hong Sheng, the box office of 80 million yuan is not much at all. We have Shaw Brothers Cinemas in hand and can give priority to our movies. We don't need to look at other people's faces. As for the quality of the movies , it’s up to you, I can help you read the script at most.”
Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun still think that Luo Qihong’s ability to write "Autumn Fairy Tale" is just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and the real estate in front of him. The tycoon doesn’t understand movies at all.
Luo Qihong saw what they were thinking, so he took out two new movie scripts from his briefcase, handed them to Hong Jinbao and Shun Jianxun, and said with a smile, "Let's take a look at these two movies first." Like?”
The two of them opened the script with doubts and read it carefully.
"Luo Sheng, who are you going to hire as the director of "A Better Tomorrow"?" Shun Jianxun feels that this drama has great promise, but it also depends on the director's skill.
"Wu Yusen! What do you think?" Luo Qihong asked hypocritically.
"Okay, then I will be responsible for contacting you. Uncle Shao Liu should give me this face." Cen Jianxun said with some arrogance. Uncle Shao Liu probably wouldn't care about his face.
"Luo Sheng, can you let me direct this "Wealth Train"?" Fatty Hong was so happy after reading the script that he was reluctant to exchange it with Cen Jianxun even as he held the script.
In the previous life, the drama "Train of Fortune" was directed by Fatty Hong, with a box office of 28 million yuan. Although the year of release was 1986, the consumption level was much better than now, but it was still 1986. The second highest-grossing movie.
"Of course you can, but you have to finish filming "Five Lucky Stars" first." Luo Qihong chuckled, "I haven't worked hard yet for the demo."
"Just relying on these 3 movies is still a bit less. You have been working in the film industry for so many years and you should be more familiar with it than me. You need to attract some talents for the company." Luo Qihong reminded. Hong Jinbao rolled his eyes and said, "What do Luo Sheng think of supernatural movies?"
Supernatural?
He suddenly thought of "Nine Uncles" Lin Zhengying, and felt that Hong Jinbao was talking about Lin Zhengying. This is a big IP that will not be outdated in future generations.
"I think there is a market for any movie. The key depends on the script, director, and actors."
So, Hong Jinbao began to introduce Lin Zhengying, and it was indispensable to express his grievances for Lin Zhengying.
"Okay, let Lin Sheng make a movie first, but the investment cannot exceed 1 million yuan. We will increase the investment budget when there are results in the future." Luo Qihong still thinks it is better to follow the old rules.
Hong Jinbao smiled and said, "Okay, Luo Sheng!"
Cen Jianxun had no objection to Lin Zhengying's matter, but was more interested in the script in Hong Jinbao's hands, so he took the opportunity to grab it come over.
Seeing Luo Qihong burst out laughing, he didn't expect that Cen Jianxun had such a funny side.
Then Luo Qihong met Zhong Chuhong again.
"Miss Zhong, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are getting more and more beautiful." Luo Qihong praised Zhong Chuhong with a smooth tongue.
Zhong Chuhong chuckled and said, "Luo Sheng, if you talk like this, Jiahui will be jealous. If Jiahui misunderstands, we will never be friends."
Zhong Chuhong understands the world very well. He also saw through Luo Qihong's purpose and pulled Guan Jiahui out as a shield so that he could not offend Luo Qihong and reject Luo Qihong's teasing.
"Miss Zhong, Jiahui won't be jealous. I have broken up with Jiahui." Luo Qihong opened his eyes and told lies.
Zhong Chuhong was slightly startled. Without Guan Jiahui as a shield, Luo Qihong would be really difficult to deal with.
"Jiahui is so beautiful, how could Luo Sheng be willing to break up with her? Jiahui likes you very much. She may be playing tricks on you. You should be reconciled in a few days."< br>
Listening to Zhong Chuhong’s rejection, Luo Qihong immediately knew that he shouldn’t be too hasty and needed to take his time.
"Yes. Today I asked Miss Zhong to come over to discuss another drama. I would like to ask Miss Zhong if she is interested in starring as the heroine?" Luo Qihong was unambiguous and handed over the script directly, "This is " Please read some of the scripts of "Ghost Bride" first."
The starring roles of "Ghost Bride" are still Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong. This drama tells the story of failed businessman A Bo (played by Zhou Runfa) and Jin Hua, who is good at Feng Shui fortune telling. A Bo's girlfriend A Mei is greedy for vanity and has a rich boyfriend. By chance, Bo discovered the suicide note of Wei Xiaodie (played by Zhong Chuhong) and helped Wei Xiaodie's ghost.
This drama was released in 1987, with a box office of 22 million yuan, ranking eighth in the box office rankings.
Zhong Chuhong felt that the difference between this drama and "Autumn Fairy Tale" was not very big, but the role she played was different, which was a bit of a challenge for her, so she agreed, but she still had to ask for details. Opinions of the Company.
Luo Qihong is naturally very generous to the beauties he has not yet obtained, otherwise he would not have found such a drama from the memory of his previous life for Zhong Chuhong to star in.
