Chapter 65: Go to America to try your luck
On the 18th of February, with the finale of the best partner, the topic of the box office battle that was clamoring during the Spring Festival period was generally concluded.
Plan A, which crossed from New Year's Day to Spring Festival, became the ultimate winner, and the box office of 2,600 has also become the new box office record of Hong Kong movies.
However, after 32 days of release, the best partner only won more than 21 million yuan in box office, which can be said to surprise everyone, and also made Mecca and Lei Juekun's faces hurt even more, because you should know that by the sixth day of release, the best partner's box office had reached 8.5 million yuan, and in the next 26 days, it only received more than 2.5 million yuan more than the previous six days. This box office was nearly 5 million yuan less than the 26 million yuan in the original time and space.
It can be seen how much impact the advancement of Plan A has on this film. Of course, the other films have also been greatly affected. Young Master Long has won 15 million box office 22 days after the release, which is almost three million less than the original time and space. Shaw Brothers' 18 martial arts have won more than seven million in twenty days after the release, which is also more than two million less than the original time and space.
As for Shaolin Temple, a film released in the left-wing theater, it only won 10 million yuan in the best partner's box office, but it is still half a month away from its box office. It is estimated that it can get about 13 million yuan when it is released, which looks like it is more than 2 million yuan less than the original time and space.
Qiao Feng's films once again became the biggest winner of movies of the same period and the biggest winner of the entire Hong Kong film industry. Almost half of his winnings were box offices snatched from several other movies.
The success of Plan A and Young Master Long made Jiahe boss Zou Wenhuai laugh from ear to ear, and Cheng Long was also very excited, sweeping away the gloom of the Thousand Years and the Killer Trench and the Cannonball Speed last year.
The success of these two films is Cheng Long's success, which also made Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang more determined to push Cheng Long into Hollywood like Li Xiaolong.
However, based on the failure of the first two films investing in the United States, Zou Wenhuai does not intend to invest in the near future, but this is not because he is preparing to give up, but because Zou Wenhuai is preparing to change directions. He wants to take Plan A to release and release in the United States to try the waters to see if Hong Kong movies can be used to open the door to Hollywood.
I wanted to hug Jiahe and yearn for Hollywood to play ambitiously, but Shaw Brothers stopped at this time. Oh, no, it was not at this time. Shaw Brothers stopped at this time after the Happy Ghost was released last year.
Apart from distributing Happy Ghost to Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, there is basically no action, which means that the eighteen martial arts are quite interesting.
The reason for this is that TV station, the arch-rival TV station of Wireless, suddenly made efforts and produced several TV series with great reputations, directly completing the crushing of TVB TV series.
Since the great hero Huo Yuanjia was broadcast on September 28 last year, the ratings of the wireless have been trampled on by Li. At that time, when TV series in Hong Kong were broadcast at night, every household was filled with songs that never fell from the Great Wall.
After Huo Yuanjia finished, he was the first four-year-old, Ma Yongzhen, and the defensive bandits, making the wireless team very embarrassed.
As the big boss of TVB, Shao Yifu Fang Yihua naturally couldn't sit idly by and quickly summoned his directors to supervise the producers to discuss countermeasures, and made a lot of effort to start a new play to deal with the script.
Before they could think of a good idea, Li started filming and broadcasting Huo Yuanjia's brothers Chen Zhen, and then she was absolutely crushed.
At this time, Fang Yihua remembered that the script Qiao Feng sold to TVB Xun Qinji has been delayed for almost a year and has not been given yet.
So I called for the script, and it was urgent.
Fang Yihua or Qiao Feng would have forgotten about this call. It was quite funny to think about it. He had received the money but forgot to write the script and deliver it. No one else could have known that the novel "Love Search" was completed at the end of last year.
The 40-episode TV script is nothing to Qiao Feng. It took a week to write "copy" all of them.
It's still the same rule. The main actor Qiao Feng decides to himself, Xiang Shaolong plays Liu Dehua, who has signed the agency contract with Qiao Feng's agency, Zhao Yazhi plays Qin Qing, Qi Meizhen plays Wu Tingfang, Wu Jiali plays Zhao Ya, Liang Jiahui plays Lian Jin, and other actors plays Wu decides to himself.
Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua were very dissatisfied with letting Liu Dehua play the protagonist Xiang Shaolong, because Liu Dehua signed with Qiao Feng's agency instead of signing a contract with Wireless.
But his own TV series is made by outsiders to be the starring actors, and only fools will do it. Shao Yifu Fang Yihua doesn’t want to be a fool, but he can’t do it. He wants to work with Qiao Feng in the future and work with TV series. Now, it’s not worth the loss because of a leading role.
After repeated measurements, Shao Yifu gritted his teeth and agreed to Qiao Feng's candidate. As for Liang Jiahui, who was also signed with Qiao Feng Company, Shao Yifu didn't say anything.
Because Liang Jiahui is so popular, she is so popular that she is so happy that she is in the movie industry. Is it good to be in the TV industry? And she is not the protagonist, so what is wrong with wireless?
Shao Yifu gave face and Qiao Feng would be a good person. With a wave of his hand, the two of them paid the same price as the emperor of the Han Dynasty last year. In fact, this is equivalent to playing the role of zero.
Because when the Emperor of Han was filming, Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui earned a dead salary, and the total amount was only a few thousand yuan.
Qiao Feng is generous, but he cannot let Liu Dehua and Liang Jiahui suffer losses. He will pay for it himself. Anyway, there is not much, and he is not short of money, so he enjoys this kind of feeling of being cultivated by celebrities.
The wireless side was done, and Jiahe had already contacted the United States. Then Qiao Feng cleaned up and followed Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cheng Long and others to the United States.
Zou Wenhuai and others found it very strange that Qiao Feng also wanted to go to the United States, because the release was not something that his screenwriter mixed in. If the release was successful, you can share the achievements safely. What are you doing with us? Are you still monitoring us, afraid that we will do something wrong? Just kidding, this is the United States, not Hong Kong, not Jiahe. If we want to do something wrong, we must have the ability.
As for their doubts, Qiao Feng gave a reason to come up with a long experience.
For excuses, Zou Wenhuai and others think so.
And this is indeed Qiao Feng's excuse. His real purpose in coming to the United States is to try his luck.
The relationship between Jiahe in the United States is the 20th Century Fox. Last year's shell speed was released by 20th Century Fox. The other is the killer-rich distribution company Warner Home Video, which is as famous as 20th Century Fox.
