Chapter 64 Excessive Self-confidence
"The best partner sells, Lei Juekun celebrates the founding of all the principals at the Peninsula Hotel."
"This newspaper's reporter interviewed Mecca, the owner of New Art City. Mecca showed great confidence in his own films and said that he would break the 25 million record set by the god of gambling."
"God of Gambling? That was the box office record two years ago, and it was time to be broken."
"God of Gamblers? That's not our goal, our goal is higher!"
"What, do you say that the box office of Plan A has surpassed the God of Gambling? So what, I firmly believe that the box office of the best partner will be higher and will create a brand new box office record."
Zhong Chuhong placed newspapers on the table for Qiao Feng to read. These newspapers include more than a dozen newspapers with the largest sales volume in Hong Kong, such as Oriental Daily and Ming Pao, among them. There are also several newspapers that specialize in entertainment news. The interviewers include Mecca, Huang Baiming and Shi Tian. Anyway, there are many of the three giants in New Art City, and there are several actors. Others say they have confidence in the movie and hope it will be like that. However, Mecca is a little too confident and directly argues with the God of Gambling and Plan A. The above are all said to be interviewed on different occasions.
"What do you think after seeing these?" Zhong Chuhong smiled and Yanyan's joke.
"Haha." Qiao Feng pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled disdainfully.
"Oh, you don't agree." Zhong Chuhong rolled his eyes, picked up another newspaper specially picked up beside him and shook it, saying, "This Xingdao Daily publishes an exclusive interview with Lei Jue Kunlei boss. Ren Lei Boss said that you are a good screenwriter, but you can't do it for a long time in this industry, but Xinyi City is different. Everyone in them is talented, able to write, direct, and act, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses. With the cooperation of each other, each movie has made great progress, but you are on a downward trend. Except for the amazing God of Gambling, the box office of other films is on a downward trend."
"Oh, I'm not afraid of talking big, but I don't say that the box office of Plan A is now on par with the God of Gambling, and it's only a matter of minutes that it's more than the God of Gambling." Qiao Feng sneered.
"How do you know that people didn't say it, they really said it. Boss Lei said that even if Plan A surpasses the God of Gambling, it was achieved through Cheng Long's star effect. He also said that this can better prove that your ability to create scripts is declining. This time Plan A is a return to the future at most." Zhong Chuhong said.
"He really said that?" Qiao Feng was a little unbelievable, thinking that Lei Juekun should not be mentally retarded like this. The rivers are getting worse and worse, and I will go back and forth. I will say that my box office of more than 20 million yuan in a play is like this. Then you have not had a movie that has exceeded 20 million yuan yet. What words should I use to describe it?
"That's right, although the original words were a bit tactful, this is what it means." Zhong Chuhong nodded affirmatively.
"I'll go, Lei Juekun and the ones in Xinyi City have been a little inflated. Oh, no, it's a little too much." Qiao Feng gave the evaluation.
"Yes, but they are also qualified to expand. Who has made the box office of Plan A significantly lower? And it will take two days to make the paintings to make room for Young Master Long?" Zhong Chuhong said helplessly.
As Chung Chuhong said, New Art City and Princess Jin are indeed qualified to expand. Plan A is about to be painted, and the biggest obstacle is gone. Now Hong Kong is talking about the best partner everywhere. Everyone’s first choice for going to the cinema is also the best partner. The newspaper also has another compliment every day. Although some people say that the plot is unreasonable and the performance is stiff and exaggerated, it cannot cover everyone’s favorite to watch.
It is true that Plan A has a high box office, it is definitely better than the God of Gambling, but the best partner is not bad either. The box office of 1.65 million on the first day is a little lower than Plan A's 1.8 million, but it is not much lower. Moreover, if Plan A is missing, there will definitely be more in the future. Didn't you see that the box office of the day before yesterday rose to 1.7 million?
Another thing is that the A-plan can get a box office of 25 million in just 20 days after its release. The Golden Princess Cinema only has the best partner in the Spring Festival. It is absolutely no problem to release a month. So is there any problem to get a box office higher than the A-plan? Of course, there is no problem.
This is the conclusion reached by Princess Jin and New Art City, and it is also the source of confidence that Lei Juekun and Mecca do not regard the box office of Gambling God and Plan A.
Because the box office trend is not bad and the release time is still half longer, so the box office should be higher for granted.
Well, this is indeed a qualified person to expand, there is nothing wrong with it.
Even Zou Wenhuai of Jiahe, He Guanchang, and Shaw Yifu of Shaw Brothers, Fang Yihua thought so, let alone others. Everyone thinks that it is a foregone conclusion that Xinyi City has taken over the banner of Hong Kong's highest box office record from Shaw Brothers and Qiao Feng.
The newspapers also began to hype this matter, talking about when the highest box office record would change hands.
Zhou Runfa, Zhao Yazhi, Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Qi Meizhen, Li Saifeng, and Li Lizhen called to comfort him.
This made Qiao Feng laugh and cry because he didn't think so, and he didn't think that the best partner would break the new record that Plan A was about to set, and even the box office of the God of Gambling could not exceed.
The same thing is said, no matter how it changes, the plates at the Hong Kong total box office are there, and the plates are so large. With more people participating in the sharing, each person will naturally receive less.
Plan A has taken the lead. It was the only one in the first half of the month after the release, so the box office could rise so rapidly. However, once the best partner was competed for, the box office of Plan A began to decline, and the amplitude was still very large.
Is it not affected by this rule when it’s the best partner? It must be.
Moreover, because of the box office hit on Plan A, the audience consumed a lot of enthusiasm for watching movies, and the popularity will definitely decrease in the future.
So although the best partner is so popular now, the sustainability of popularity is definitely not as good as Plan A, which has the lead, let alone the three films of Master Long, Shaolin Temple and the Eighteen Martial Arts were released on the same period on 1.21 to compete with it for audiences and box office.
On 1.20, the day's screening ended, and Plan A officially painted from all the theaters in Jiahe. Its final box office was frozen at 26 million, making it a new movie box office record in Hong Kong with a box office of one million higher than the 25.01 million God of Gamblers.
As Qiao Feng thought, the next day, after the release of three movies including Master Long and Shaolin Temple, it greatly reduced the number of viewers of the best partner, resulting in the daily box office of this film of 1.21 dropping by 400,000 from the previous day, only 110, a drop of nearly 30%.
