Hong Kong Entertainment's Life Simulator

Chapter 47 Everyone is a good boy

"Cheng Bao: A very different kind of gang movie, dark and depressing, once black to the end, when an undercover agent perishes in hell, then become a devil king..."

"Sing Tao Daily: The soundtrack and camera language are top-notch. As for the story, it's a bit hard to comment on. Congratulations to Zhou Runfa for being able to get rid of Xu Wenqiang. After the new world, Fanya Chengge is unique!"

"Xinbao: A pioneering style of gangster film, although the main creative team was unknown before this, but I believe that from now on, no one dares to ignore this name in the field of fashion gangster dramas. Fuxing's undercover plan is more like child's play."

"Ten Thousand People Times: People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, brotherhood, violent fights, black and white fights, this is a textbook-like classic feast of modern gang movies."

"Ming Pao: Zhou Runfa's acting skills are astonishing, Wan Ziliang's aura is worthy of the real big brother, from the actor's acting skills..."

"Hong Kong Island Daily: The Godfather Trilogy? If this is the opening chapter of the Hong Kong Island Godfather series, the main creative team will undoubtedly hand in an amazing answer."

………………

On a new day, Zhao Donghuai slept until the afternoon.

After all, it was already very late after attending the midnight screening of his first movie last night. This was also his rest after a major event that had been completely busy for several months.

After sleeping until the afternoon, he was awakened by Du Qifeng's knock on the door, and Du sir came to read the newspapers with a bunch of newspapers.

Zhao Donghuai was speechless.

But he can understand that Du Sir is not the Du Dapao many years later. He has become famous in the film industry. The altar is mixed.

Hearing all kinds of praises in the newspaper, Zhao Donghuai grabbed a bottle of Coke and asked curiously, "How is the attendance rate today?"

Generally, the midnight screening of a movie is to listen to the audience's word of mouth, and if there are too many scoldings, it can be revised in time.

Only with a good reputation will it not be changed and will be released on a large scale.

However, for this new world, Zhao Donghuai is relatively confident, and the other main creative teams, including Boss Shao, also gave good reviews after watching the movie, so they didn't pay much attention to the effect of the midnight show.

Strictly speaking, this is a midnight show process that everyone has, and it will be released after the event, and will not be easily changed.

Today is the 8th day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival on Hong Kong Island.

Du Qifeng hurriedly sat up straight, wanted to be more serious, but couldn't help but spread his smile, "Not bad, even if it's the morning show, I've seen it in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei theaters, and the average attendance rate is over [-]%."

"That's right, some people who took their children to watch the movie made a lot of complaints after they came out, which would frighten the children."

A gang movie full of violent fights, with a lot of bloody scenes, it is normal to scare children. This is also a...

Zhao Donghuai took another sip of Coke and said with a smile, "It's pretty good. The key is to watch the afternoon and evening. Today is the first day of the show."

In Shaw Brothers Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei's leading theaters, a large screening hall can accommodate 1000 people, which is different from the multi-functional theaters with 200 seats in later generations.

"What about Afa and the others?"

Du Qifeng laughed, "Afa, Aliang and the others are queuing up to be on the show again, and they are going to be on tonight's Happy Tonight."

Now that's a lot of TVB's own sons and godsons, queuing up to promote a new film on the show... Well, this is also the recent highlight of Shaw Theater, the better the sales, the boss Shaw is also picking up money.

In addition to making money, it can also drive the popularity of the theater!Such as popcorn, cola and other businesses!

After talking and laughing excitedly for a while, Sir Du handed Director Zhao a cigarette to light, before he hesitated to speak, "Director, that...that..."

Du Qifeng is not a mother-in-law, seeing his embarrassed face, Zhao Donghuai laughed, "You want to talk about a sequel??"

Du sir nodded hastily, isn't that right? When we first met, Director Zhao agreed that if the first part was shot well, he would direct the second part.

During the whole filming process, Du Qifeng also felt that he had learned a lot, he even felt as if he had been ignited.

When people talk about Du Sir, the biggest impression is nothing more than gang and community movies, such as gangsters, dark wars, gunfire, PTU, big events, drug wars, etc., this is a professional filming stories of gangsters and gangsters in Hong Kong Island experts.

However, Johnny To in the past, his first film was Sword of Killing Death in Clear Water and Cold Mountain, and he knew it was martial arts just by the name.

In the original track, Zhao Donghuai did not cross the line. After he finished filming 83 Huang Rihua's version of Shooting the Condors, next year he will shoot Tony Leung and Andy Lau's version of Deer and Dingji.

But when the assistant director filmed New World, a fashion club drama known as a pioneering style, To Qifeng felt as if the door to the New World had been opened.

Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Okay, as long as our box office is not bad, it should not be bad. You can prepare the second script of New World in a few days. As long as the script passes the test, I will invest in the filming for you."

"But let's talk about the ugly things first, the script is not good enough, so I won't vote."

Du Qifeng, "Ah..."

Didn't you prepare a script for me?After being stunned for a second, he nodded and smiled brightly again, "Okay, I'll try, but Director Zhao, my screenwriting skills still need to be improved, the script is not good enough, you have to help me."

Zhao Donghuai nodded.

He originally planned to hand over the original version of Infernal Affairs, undercover for three years and three years, and was shot to death before he retired, just to see Du Qifeng's current skills.

After joking and sending Du sir off for a while, Zhao Donghuai asked A Guang and A Yong who lived next door to buy food and wine, planning to have a side stove at home and drink some wine to relax.

The box office still depends on the results of the box office in the past few days, and then talk about other things.

…………

Another new day, September 9 in the Gregorian calendar and August 23 in the lunar calendar.

Zhao Donghuai was still sleeping when he heard a knock on the door. When he walked to open the door impatiently, Guan Jiahui rushed in excitedly, "Brother Huai, you are going to be popular. Yesterday, 12 theaters were showing all day long. , the attendance rate is more than [-]%.”

"A box office of more than 70 a day!"

How much is more than 70?Not much, with an average ticket price of 15 yuan. This is only less than 5 people who have watched the movie. Based on the popularity of Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei in Shanghai, the appeal of Tan Yonglin and Zhang Guorong's fans, and various publicity campaigns .

That's only okay.

But it's not bad either.

After all, this is an era in which only nine or ten movies have grossed over 12 million yuan a year. Even with the current movie viewing efficiency and 20 theaters showing for about 70 days, the opening of [-] yuan is expected to break through. Ten million.

For a new director, two assistant directors who hit the street, and the box office poisonous hair and a group of film rookies and rookies, this is a harbinger of success!
Fat Boy King's second-generation filmmaker, a great director from a family background, is still a top student at the University of Hong Kong, and his first film broke 500 million.

No matter what the atmosphere of a movie is when it is filmed, how well-known it is before the official release, or how it reacts to the trial, it is too empty if it doesn’t hit the box office.

When the box office popped out, it was...

Sister Guan is feeling excited now, and when she is excited, she glances at Zhao Donghuai again, then turns around with a low cry.

After all, the young man who just woke up is very angry.

Everyone is a good boy.

…………

New World was released on a large scale. On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday on Thursday, the box office of 12 theaters broke through 70, and the next Friday was still more than 70.

On Saturday, Shaw Brothers had a full line of screenings, and the box office directly exceeded one million!
On Sunday, more than 120 million.

Doing the math is more than 370 million in the first weekend.
