Chapter 567: Box Office Breaking Records
Leng Xuxin was indeed a decisive person. That afternoon, he submitted his resignation to Daqian, which shocked everyone.
You know, now everyone knows that Leng Xuxin is the most popular popular chicken in Daqian. She is deeply loved by Boss Jia. She has strong abilities. It took less than half a year to go directly from a salesperson to the vice president of Daqian Entertainment. Some people think that it is possible for Leng Xuxin to officially enter Daqian’s decision-making senior management at the annual meeting next year.
But who could have thought that Leng Xuxin, who had an unlimited future, would resign.
What is even more incredible is that Leng Xuxin turned around and registered a new company in Yuzhang. The name was very simple, called Tianxing Machinery Factory.
There are not many people called machinery factories these days. When they hear it, they smell like old and dilapidated in the 1960s and 1970s, which is not advanced at all.
But when the factory was registered, everyone was shocked because the registered capital of this factory was as high as 1 billion yuan, which really scared me.
What's even more scary is that within two days, the Tianxing Machinery Factory announced that it had reached an agreement with the Yuzhang Municipal Government. Yuzhang City provided a large piece of land in the High-tech Industrial Park for the Tianxing Machinery Factory to build a factory building. Then the Tianxing Machinery Factory began to order various equipment at home and abroad. In the blink of an eye, an electronic machinery processing factory with the highest level in China was about to rise up.
However, the rise of Tianxing Machinery Factory only attracted the attention of people in the circle. At this time, the most attractive thing for domestic people was actually the national release of "Farewell My Concubine".
From Zhang Fengyi's popularity before, we know that "Farewell My Concubine" is now the most popular movie in China, especially various media have been tirelessly promoting it that it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the significance of the Oscar in the film industry.
It was also announced that this "Farewell My Concubine" represents the highest level of domestic movies, is a must-see movie in everyone's life, and a movie recognized by foreigners all over the world.
This is a movie that even foreigners recognize, so it is naturally impossible for Chinese people to let go.
So in 1994, when the film market was getting worse and worse, the release of Farewell My Concubine opened a rare full-blown mode.
In 1994, there were less than 10,000 cinemas nationwide, but only more than 10,000 cinemas, with a movie ticket price of three yuan per ticket, sold 9.8 million yuan on the first day of its release, almost exceeding 10 million, shocking the audience and the media, and shouting that the historical record of **** is about to be born.
In fact, the box office was higher on the second day of the release of "Farewell My Concubine" and the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" exceeded 20 million yuan in two days, making people say that Chinese movies are about to recover.
Just when everyone thought that this was a very successful collaboration between Daqian and Director Chen Da and that both sides would truly contribute to the first-class work in film history, the reporter in the imperial capital suddenly received an emergency invitation.
This invitation letter was written by Director Chen Da. Although Director Chen hurriedly invited all reporters to the Imperial Capital Hotel on the second night after the movie was released, he hurriedly invited all the reporters to the Imperial Capital Hotel to attend a press conference.
This invitation shocked all the reporters who received the invitation letter. Could it be that this director Chen Da was so impatient?
Although the box office of 20 million yuan for two days of release is indeed the highest box office record in film history, director Chen Da cannot be a little patient after only two days. After more than 10 days, the box office exceeds 50 million, or even 80 million, will he hold this celebration press conference?
Yes, yes, all the reporters who received the invitation thought this was a press conference where Director Chen was excited to celebrate his victory, but he did not expect that Director Chen was blushing at this time, pointing at someone's nose and cursing.
Director Chen Da actually did not attend the domestic premiere of "Farewell My Concubine". The reason announced was that Director Chen Da felt uncomfortable, had a severe cold, and was resting at home.
The actual reason is that Director Chen already hates Boss Jia very much. He doesn't want to see Boss Jia, a guy who is full of money and doesn't understand art.
Thinking about the fact that all the profits after the release of "Farewell My Concubine" in China are basically owned by Boss Jia. Director Chen Da went to attend the premiere ceremony to support Boss Jia, so Director Chen Da felt even more uncomfortable.
So Director Chen simply chose to be out of sight, and then just had a perfect cold and fever, so he didn't attend the premiere ceremony at all. Anyway, the premiere ceremony in China is just that level. He is all people who held the highest global premiere ceremony in the United States, and there is no need for such an unclassified premiere ceremony in China.
This has become a rare film industry in China. There was no director in the premiere of a movie in China. However, at that time, most media had no doubts and felt that director Chen was indeed sick.
No one would believe that this director who just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film will be willing to attend the domestic premiere?
And I also heard that this time, "Farewell My Concubine" has been working with the review department for a long time in order to premiere in China, and it is not easy to be released in the end!
It is precisely because Director Chen Da did not attend the premiere that Director Chen Da could have a comfortable and stable sleep. It was only after 10 o'clock on the morning of the second day that Director Chen Da got up from the bed, washed and ate leisurely, and then met his assistant.
"How was the box office on the first day of release?" Although Director Chen Da was very disgusted with Boss Jia and even did not attend the premiere, he was still very concerned about his box office, which means that many people in China expressed their recognition of Director Chen Da.
Then Director Chen Da laughed. The box office of 9.8 million yuan in the premiere was directly broken by the domestic premiere box office record. It seemed that he was really awesome, and the Chinese people were also able to appreciate their art. He was really awesome.
Then Director Chen spent another day happily.
It was very magical. On this day, no one told Director Chen about the deletion of the movie, even if Director Chen had 5 assistants in his hands to help him handle various daily affairs.
When Director Chen Da really discovered the abnormality, it was the afternoon of the second day of the movie. Director Chen Da looked at the newspaper happily and said that as of the morning of the second day, the total box office of "Farewell My Concubine" had exceeded 12 million, and it is estimated that the total box office of the second day could exceed 20 million, breaking the previous box office record of 94 million movies created by "Mom Loves Me Again" and creating a new Chinese movie record. It is very likely.
Yes, right, before 1994, the box office champion of China's movies was "Mom Loves Me Again". As for the legendary movie "Shaolin Temple" that costs one cent per ticket, the news that the box office exceeded 100 million yuan was purely fake news.
In fact, if you search for the box office of Shaolin Temple movies, the first article about the box office of Shaolin Temple movies was actually published in 2004.
In fact, before 1994, all Chinese films were released by China Film, and China Film never announced the box office of all movies before 1994. It was not until 1994 that China Film would announce the box office of movies in real time every day according to the contract.
Therefore, the box office data of all movies released in China in 1994 cannot be verified. However, according to the CEO of China Film at that time, he published an article in a newspaper in 1993, which stated that the highest-release movie in the country was 47 million yuan in "Mom Loves Me Again".
According to the distribution revenue and the tradition of 55 points in the theater chain, the actual box office should be 94 million yuan.
The boss of China Film Group said this, and it is obvious that the distribution income of Shaolin Temple is not as good as the distribution income of "Mom Loves Me Again".
