On January 1, 1993, on this day, my boss Jia once again opened a new map and came to a new city, namely Hong Kong.

On this day, "Farewell My Concubine", which has gone through many hardships, can finally be released, and as the sole producer of "Farewell My Concubine", Mr. Jia naturally has to come and attend the premiere ceremony of "Farewell My Concubine".

It can be seen that our director Chen's face is still a bit lacking. Not many celebrities came to attend the premiere ceremony, mainly the actors from "Farewell My Concubine", such as Guorong, Gong Li, and Zhang Fengyi.

Something like that, but there are not many real local actors in Hong Kong, just Leslie Cheung.

There were not many media coming, probably only about 10 or so, and there were quite a lot of viewers, but basically every audience member was holding a Leslie Cheung sign. Obviously, these viewers were attracted by Leslie Cheung's name.

Came here.

"It seems that we are not very popular in Hong Kong!" Jia Yapeng looked at the sparse reporters, and almost all of them were Leslie Cheung fans, and said with a smile to Director Zhang Da beside him.

"There is no way, this is Hong Kong, and we are a mainland movie, this kind of scene is too normal!" Director Chen sighed, but obviously he has experienced such a situation before.

These days, it is very rare for a Mainland movie to premiere in Hong Kong. Coupled with Hong Kong's consistent prejudice against the Mainland, it's hard to believe they would be interested.

In fact, if Leslie Cheung's name hadn't been among the actors, there wouldn't have been even a single reporter or fan at the scene. Of course, the reporters who were invited to pay the carriage fares didn't count.

"How many cinemas in Hong Kong will show the movie tomorrow, how many movie screens are given to us, and how many shows will there be in total?" Jia Yapeng asked.

Jia Yapeng learned a little about it. In 1992, when the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film industry reached its peak, the city of Hong Kong alone actually had 5 different cinema lines, thousands of large and small cinemas, and more than 3,000 screens.

, more than 100,000 seats.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Hong Kong market alone to create a box office of 60 million for a single movie.

Therefore, the Hong Kong film market these days can create box office miracles one after another, crushing a country with the box office performance of a city.

Therefore, it is not wrong for director Chen Da to choose to premiere in Hong Kong. As long as "Farewell My Concubine" can obtain enough film schedules, the box office may be very impressive.

"Well, there are estimated to be about 200 cinemas with more than 300 screens that will show our movie today. In terms of the number of screenings, there may be about 500!" Director Zhang Da said.

"So much?" Jia Yapeng's expression became a little ugly. Out of 1,000 cinemas, only about 200 will show it, which is equivalent to 1/5 of the total. This is too tragic. Every cinema should try it at least.

Show a movie and see how it goes!

"Will there be many new movies released today on New Year's Day?" Mr. Jia asked.

"No, new movies have been released on Christmas Eve. Ours is the only new movie released today!" Director Chen Da shook his head.

"Does that mean our movies are not favored by theaters?" Mr. Jia asked again.

"Probably not. To be precise, except for two of the five major theater chains, the other three have not seen our movies at all. I came to each theater chain a few days ago. They heard that our movies are from mainland China.

He said goodbye to me without even being interested in taking a look!"

"Mr. Jia, I'm sorry, it seems that we may have to lose money this time!" Director Chen said with a somewhat angry expression. It seems that Director Chen has suffered a lot of grievances these days. He thought he had the trump card of Guorong in his hand.

It was supposed to be quite promising in the Hong Kong market, but I didn’t expect it to be rejected in the end.

"These Hong Kong people are so disrespectful!" Director Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Of course I look down on you, but there must be other reasons!" Mr. Jia smiled.

"What's the reason?" Director Chen asked curiously.

"Of course it's because the capital of this film is mainland capital, which is my capital!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile, "The film market in Hong Kong is so big. There are almost hundreds of local film companies. They all

If you can’t get enough of these box office tickets, how can you welcome an outsider like me to share the money?”

"So I guess there should be many film companies in Hong Kong behind this time, asking for a collective boycott of us. After all, these theater chains rely on film companies to make a living. It is not surprising that they will unite together, otherwise there will be national

The brand name Rong is there, why is it like this!"

The reason why Boss Jia made such a judgment is mainly because Jia Yapeng vaguely remembers that in this world, when "Farewell My Concubine" was released in Hong Kong, it achieved a box office of 28 million Hong Kong dollars. This result ranked first in Hong Kong in 1993.

Ranking tenth in the movie box office rankings is also a pretty good result.

This is by no means an achievement that can be achieved by a movie that only 200 theaters are willing to show, so the fact is obvious that compared with the previous life, some people are boycotting this movie.

Everything in "Farewell My Concubine" is basically the same as in the previous life. The only thing that is different from the previous life is our Boss Jia. The capital behind "Farewell My Concubine" in the previous life, Tomson Group, is a Hong Kong company, and the boss

I also came from the film market, and I have a lot of connections in the Hong Kong and Hong Kong film circles, so I can naturally get the most support from movie theaters.

As for our boss Jia, although he seems to be richer, he has no connections at all in Hong Kong. In addition, he has capital from the mainland, so it is completely normal for him to be secretly boycotted.

"Then what should we do? It seems that we are really going to lose a lot of money this time!" After hearing Jia Yapeng analyze the secret behind it, Director Chen's face instantly became paler. If it is boycotted by the entire Hong Kong film market, then

"Farewell My Concubine" might only have 6 figures at the box office, then he would really be embarrassed.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter even if the box office is 0, I don't care!" Jia Yapeng patted Director Zhang Da on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Director Chen, I said, the purpose of this movie is to win awards, as for other things, don't

Don’t worry, 25 million is just a small amount of money to me, don’t feel any psychological pressure, I support you in everything!”

"Thank you, boss!" Director Chen was so moved that he never imagined that he would meet such a generous boss. This is a good thing that many film directors can't dream of. It seems that he must hug Boss Jia's thigh tightly in the future.

, trying to get him to invest money in me in the future, and I can let myself be more free in my future movies and make some things I want to make.

Well, if Jia Yapeng knew that Director Zhang Da had such thoughts in his mind, Jia Yapeng might not have said this. Our Mr. Jia doesn’t want to cooperate with Director Chen again. This guy is really born to lose money, but with

The only one that won the award is "Farewell My Concubine," so only a fool would continue to cooperate.

"Hey, Brother Long is here!"

"Oh my god, Brother Long is here!" Suddenly, the reporters in the cinema were in a commotion. More than a dozen reporters rushed out and started taking pictures at the entrance of the cinema. Then Long, with a smile on his face,

Brother, I just walked into the premiere.

"Why is he here? I didn't invite him!" Seeing Brother Long, Director Chen was a little confused. He originally tried to invite some local celebrities from Hong Kong and Hong Kong, but they were all rejected, so Director Chen

So I simply gave up inviting other big-name celebrities. Unexpectedly, Brother Long actually came by himself.

"Oh, this is the guest I invited!" Mr. Jia said with a smile. This Brother Long is really good at being a man. Even though he knew that the whole Hong Kong was boycotting him, he still came to attend the premiere. Just for this reason. It seems that

From now on, I have to help this big brother out.

Although I will forget about asking him to shoot commercials or anything in the future, I can still make movies. At least before 2010, Brother Long’s name was still very popular in the movie market.
