Chapter 112: A flash in the pan

It started to be released on February 5th. In addition to suppressing Best Partner 2 on the first day and staying flat on the second day, the new Shushan Swordsman, which spent more than 20 million yuan in the following days, has been pressed under his body by Best Partner 2.

Seven days after its release, with Shaolin boy Yu Wei in front and the new Shushan Swordsman fighting against each other, the best partner got a box office of about 8 million, while in comparison, the new Shushan Swordsman only got less than 7 million, which was more than one million less than the opponent.

The box office is far behind. The key is that the new Shushan Swordsman has no more reputation, and the box office is even worse due to poor reputation. Several bosses and directors of Jiahe have no hope of making money in this film. What they think is that the current attendance rate will be stable for a few days and try to make less compensation.

The new Shushan Swordsman, which invests in larger investments and better special effects, is in this situation. Shaw Brothers, who has invested 10 million less, is also worried about the prospects of interstellar dullness produced by his company.

On the eighth day after the release of the new Shushan Swordsman, Best Partner 2, Interstellar Blunt Body was released on Shaw Brothers Theater.

Qiao Feng was invited by Shao Yifu to watch the film. In fact, whether or not he watches the film is not important to Qiao Feng or Shao Yifu.

Because of the gambling game, Qiao Feng was invited by Shao Yifu to watch the movie in his exclusive movie room as early as after the interstellar dullness completed all the post-production films.

There is no need to say that without Zhong Chuhong's participation in this version of interstellar dullness, even the only highlights of the original version were lost.

The plot is still the same, but the heroine does not have the appearance of Zhong Chuhong, nor does she have the figure of Zhong Chuhong. When the heroine's skirt was blown up at the beginning, and the vehicle crashed on the road, and one of them was still watching the heroine who covered her skirt and shouted Marilyn Monroe, Qiao Feng almost laughed.

He was invited to watch the movie again after the release of the film this day, but in the theater, Qiao Feng knew it was fake and the audience's reaction was real.

Just a few days ago, the interstellar dullness held a midnight show, and the audience's comments were OK. This is the opinion of the film's directors and creators.

In fact, because Shaolin Temple, the new Shushan Swordsman and the Best Partner 2 are all released, there are not many people who go to Shaw Brothers to watch the interstellar midnight show.

If there are no audiences, there will naturally be no suggestions. And I believe everyone understands that people often have the attribute of being crazy. If there are only a few kittens, even if you don’t like movies, you can’t make a fuss and you’re too lazy to make a fuss. But if there are too many people, this complaint and that complain can easily resonate.

Shaw encountered the former situation. There were few people and the audience was not enthusiastic about complaining. But Shaw did not find this.

Just thinking that the audience didn't scold me means that they are more acknowledged with the movie. However, due to the encounter with the new Shushan Swordsman, Shaw Brothers is inevitably more worried about the interstellar dullness produced by his own production.

Therefore, Qiao Feng, who has always been unpopular with interstellar dullness and wants to compete with interstellar dullness, was invited to come over.

Watch the movie and watch the audience's reaction. If the reaction is good, there is no need to say that the interstellar dullness will continue to be screened. But if the reaction is not good, I will talk to Qiao Feng some.

"Does Mr. Qiao still think that interstellar dullness will be able to pounce?"

In the private room, Shao Yifu asked Qiao Feng with a gloomy face, but his eyes looked at the place where people were already sitting.

"That's of course, otherwise why would I leave the release of 8 million US dollars in science fiction films in the United States without paying attention to the release of the film, and stay in Hong Kong to wait for the interstellar dullness to give way to Mr. Zombie." Qiao Feng asked with a smile.

As he said, the Terminator, directed by James Cameron and starring Schwarzenegger, set to be released on Valentine's Day, two days later, February 14th. He will not participate in the full-invest science fiction blockbuster, but stay in Hong Kong to wait. Isn't it just to supervise Shaw's be able to fulfill his bet at that time and the box office of the interstellar star is sluggish, so I can successfully give Mr. Zombie's Ang Wei?

If he had no confidence that the interstellar blunt would be able to pounce, why should he do this?

Qiao Feng deliberately said more than one million more investment from the Terminator, either bragging or trying to let Shao Yifu, who was not sure about the specific investment, know how confident he was.

There will be no problem with Anne Hurd on the Terminator, but it may not be true in Hong Kong. Shao Yifu will not be the kind of person who ruins promises, but Fang Yihua can't say it.

Qiao Feng dared not bet on this. If he went to the United States to participate in the release of Terminator, Fang Yihua, in Hong Kong, obviously, had the interstellar dullness box office and insufficient attendance rate, forced the interstellar dullness to carry on the screen, just to suppress the way for Mr. Zombie. Then his idea of ​​suppressing the New Art City will be destroyed.

Although there is a telephone number to let people from Hong Kong notify him, he will have various social engagements when he goes to the United States. It will not be very convenient to contact him by phone. Besides, even if he contacts others are not in Hong Kong, many things will be troublesome. If you call Shao Yifu, as long as Fang Yihua is prepared in advance, it will be easy to make him unable to find someone even if he wants to find him.

In order to suppress Xinyi City, Qiao Feng was also worried.

On this day, Qiao Feng and Shao Yifu watched the first interstellar dullness. The attendance rate was more than 90%, which was almost full. In the second game, the attendance rate not only did not decrease but also rose.

Shao Yifu, who received the feedback, looked happy and red, and his voice became louder when he talked to Qiao Feng.

"Mr. Qiao, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Judging from the current situation, I can't say how high the interstellar dullness box office will be, but it may take more time for the attendance rate to fall below the average. "At this point, Shao Yifu smiled: "Sorry, I think I'm sure I'll win."

Qiao Feng chuckled and did not answer.

But he was sneering in his heart, don't be proud so early, so as not to feel extremely happy and sad. Don't forget that the new Shushan Swordsman was also so popular when it was released. The box office on the first day was over 100,000 yuan, but later, he was stepped on by someone on the third day.

Qiao Feng's words came true.

Just like the New Shushan Swordsman promoted his own big production and focused on Hong Kong's first special effects blockbuster and attracted many viewers, he has always promoted his investment of more than 10 million yuan, and was also imitated by the Star Wars series of Hong Kong, which also attracted a considerable number of viewers.

Many people know that in the 1970s and 1980s, the entire Southeast Asia was the world of Hong Kong films, and Hong Kong's annual box office champion was even more popular with local movies for decades. It was not until 1993 that they were broken by the Hollywood blockbuster Jurassic Park.

But what many people don’t know is that although Hong Kong films have always been strong, Hollywood blockbusters are not without markets in Hong Kong.

Take the Star Wars series for example. In seven or eight years, Star Wars has been released in Hong Kong repeatedly and won the eleventh place in the annual box office, two more than Cheng Long’s serpentine hand who became famous. The Star Wars II Empire Counterattack, released in 1980, won the seventh place with the Gift of Gamblers and the Best Bad Friends, with a box office of 5.7 million.

Therefore, the propaganda of interstellar blunt gives it a lot of Star Wars audience base. The theaters were full on the day of its release. It can be said that half of them were attracted to the theater by the slogan of Star Wars in Hong Kong.

However, following the trend means following the trend, let alone not to mention following the trend at all. The hodgepodge of more than 10 million yuan was disappointed by the audience who had seen interstellar dullness.

Shaw Brothers' screening rate for interstellar blunt is 90%, which means that Shaw Brothers has more than 20 theaters, and 90% of the time it takes to screen the interstellar blunt throughout the day. Such a super high screening rate, coupled with the many audiences who were fooled, Shaw Brothers won more than 2 million and nearly 3 million box office on the first day.

When this data was released, the Hong Kong film industry was completely detonated.

However, the congenital deficit interstellar dullness caused the explosion to be a little thunderous. The next day, the film schedule rate was still so high that the box office suddenly dropped to less than two million. On the third day, the box office plummeted again, falling to less than one million.

By this time, anyone knew that Shaw Brothers' film had lost, and it was a big hit. In three days, the box office dropped by two-thirds, and the attendance rate on the first day was not 100%, at most 90%.

A drop of two-thirds means that the attendance rate has fallen below 30%, falling below the lower limit of the attendance rate.

On the third day of release, the interstellar dullness won nearly one million box office, but Shaw Brothers Theater lost money on this day.

Qiao Feng won the bet.
