Chapter 1099 The Competition Between Two Movies!

1982, January 25, Monday, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As the real beginning of a new year, this day in China is naturally the most fresh and lively.

Starting from the early morning, major temples compete for the first place, which are the reserved items in Xiangjiang, Omen and Baodao.

In 20 years' time, the mainland will gradually begin to develop, and the craze for the first place will be even crazier than that of Hong Kong, Olympic and Taiwan.

But now, the mainland is still dominated by simplicity, and there is no life like a Spring Festival gala. How happy and comfortable do you want them to be?

But places like Xiangjiang are different. Early in the morning, people are visiting relatives and friends. Although not many shops are open on the streets, they are still very lively.

On days like this, Yin Jun is naturally very busy.

After leaving Deng Lijun's villa, she went to the homes of Qiu Shuzhen, Li Zhi, Zhou Haimei, Zeng Huaqian, Zhou Huimin, and Wen Bixia early in the morning to pay New Year greetings, and then went to Zhao Yazhi's home for dinner.

I came out at noon and spent another half day with Zhong Chuhong in her apartment.

After dinner, I picked up Guan Zhilin again. After eating romantic French cuisine, I took the girl to watch a movie together.

There are more women, which means this is a problem. The more special the festival, the harder it is to arrange time.

From the bottom of his heart, Yin Jun felt that he now had four women, which was enough... If Hui Yinghong was also counted, it would still be 5!

Judging from the current situation, Yin Jun thinks that he is unlikely to get married, because no matter which woman he marries, it will be a huge harm to the remaining confidante.

But starting from Teresa Deng, the confidantes will definitely have children one after another. After the children are born, what kind of status they will have is also a headache for Yin Jun.

Putting aside these annoying things, today's movie is quite exciting.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year today, as the first masterpiece of Yongsheng Film Company, "October Siege" was released amidst the hustle and bustle.

The Xiang brothers attach great importance to movie promotion. As early as a week ago, "October Siege" began advertising in various areas of Hong Kong. Posters and posters were posted everywhere.

Just a few days later, "Shaolin Temple" became a hit. Xiang Huasheng made a prompt decision and immediately printed a new advertisement. It was mainly promoted by Liu Yubai, played by Jet Li. Standing next to him was none other than Yan Yaqunfang. Lizhi.

Although the two of them don't appear much in the movie, it doesn't appear to be against the rules since the poster doesn't say they are the male and female protagonists.

Not to mention, many people were attracted by Li Lianjie, and coupled with Li Zhi's exquisite dress, especially the two lumps and plump round mounds on the tight chest of the cheongsam, many people couldn't help but Go and tear off her half of the poster and take it home for collection.

With the good omens of "Shaolin Temple", plus the fact that there are many stars in it, the duel between Huang Yuanshen and Liang Xiaolong, and the duel between Huo Yuanjia and Chen Zhen, who is willing to miss such a classic?

So starting from noon on this day, the major theaters and movie theaters started queuing up to buy tickets.

Shaw Brothers, which has no blockbusters released in the past few days, generously loaned out 8 theaters, and Golden Harvest also gave 5 theaters, plus some other scattered theaters, Yongsheng Film Company's groundbreaking masterpiece "October Siege" , it won 38 premieres in one breath.

Although this is not as good as "Shaolin Temple" promoted by Kirin Film Company, the boss of Kirin Film Company is Yin Jun, the largest entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong. How can Yongsheng Film Company compare with them?

And the first part was screened in 38 cinemas, which is already a very good thing.

In a few years ago, if the film could be shown in more than 20 cinemas, it would definitely be a treatment that only big names like the Xu brothers could enjoy.

Yin Jun and Guan Zhilin are both well-known people in Xiangjiang. Naturally, they did not dare to go to the ordinary seats, but chose the private room. Although the movie-watching atmosphere was not so strong, at least they seemed more comfortable.

"October Siege" is definitely not a light-hearted movie, and people are dying in the movie from the beginning.

Whether they are bad guys or good guys, they all die one by one for a common goal.

The disadvantage of such a movie is that it makes people feel heart-wrenching to watch, but the advantage is that it makes people nervous all the time and wants to watch it to see what the final result will be.

Guan Zhilin looked very serious, with her beautiful big eyes staring intently. After the movie ended, she let out a long sigh.

"Brother Jun, why do you write such a script?" Leaning in Yin Jun's arms, Guan Zhilin said sadly, "All the good guys are dead, and all the bad guys are dead... The most important thing is that I don't think the villain played by Liang Xiaolong is He is a bad guy, but he also has his own persistence and ideals... Alas!"

"This kind of story can show the charm of the movie. At least it moved my girl." Yin Jun smiled and kissed Guan Zhilin, "Let's go, the next show of "Good Boy", you see It will ensure that you won’t be a little depressed.”

"Well~ let's go!"

Guan Zhilin's mood had obviously not been adjusted yet, and she looked a little dull and followed Yin Jun to another theater a street away.

When she went in, she didn't notice that the movie fans who came out were all laughing from ear to ear.

But it didn't matter, because not long after she sat down, when the movie started for a while, Guan Zhilin was swaying with laughter like everyone else, leaning on Yin Jun's arms, her body shaking.

Yes.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but it is also a Monday, not a day when traditional movies are released.

The Xiang brothers' "October Siege" could have won more support from theaters, but instead, Qilin Film Company's crude "Good Boy" came out. Although both scripts were written by Yin Jun, I believe in Yin Jun even more. Theater operators with their own company's production capabilities gave more theaters to "Good Boys", allowing it to be released in 46 theaters, stealing some of the limelight from "October Siege".

Fortunately, the styles of the two are completely different, otherwise the Xiang brothers would have come to Yin Jun to discuss the schedule issue.

Speaking of which, the Xiang brothers are still very generous. They know that competition will be inevitable once the film company opens, so when they met "Good Boy", they did not think about giving in, but chose to believe in Yin Jun's strength and their own. Bian invested huge sums of money to invite celebrities.

And Yin Jun didn't go against them. If "October Siege" is to be renovated, Yin Jun only needs to release "Speed ​​2", then "October Siege" will inevitably be suppressed and unable to display its abilities. .

"Good Boys" is just a comedy, and it stars three children. If "October Siege" can't compare with them, it would really look like the Xiang brothers are incompetent.

In fact, the box office results released on the second day clearly proved this point.

The box office of "October Siege" on the first day was 2.3 million, setting a new high for a movie on a normal working day and higher than the Saturday box office of many movies. This gave the Xiang brothers a lot of reassurance.

The most important thing is word of mouth.

The comments about "October Siege" in "Qilin Daily" were surprisingly good.

Even if there are some scolding people, they all say that the screenwriter Jun Shao is too cruel and has killed so many good people, with almost no one left, even if you keep the rich young man in the end!

More people are still discussing the wonderful plot, the exciting fighting scenes, and the fearless spirit of sacrifice.

"This is a good movie that you have to watch. Although you will definitely scold your mother after watching it...well, you will scold Mr. Jun, but if you don't watch it, you will definitely regret it... Mr. Jun is definitely a genius. I like this kind of plot, In life, there should be movies like this that make people feel enlightened!”

This comment was placed on the headlines, and it was also a very famous comment from the audience. With this tone, of course it made the Xiang brothers feel at ease and happy.

Compared with the complaints and curses in "October Siege", the complaints and comments in "Good Boys" are much more joyful.

Young people are especially active.

"I burst out laughing yesterday. I never thought that a few children could be so funny!"

"My girlfriend was drinking water, but she happened to see something funny and spit on me. She almost choked and scared me!"

"Haha, my son and daughter both laughed happily and said that they haven't seen such a good movie in a long time and they plan to watch it again tomorrow."

"That's right. Fortunately, I trust Mr. Jun. Otherwise, how could these movies, which are obviously for children, arouse my interest?"

"After watching "Good Boy", I really hope that "Oolong Yuan" will be made into a movie or TV series soon. It will definitely be very good!"

"..."

Along with these praises, the box office revenue of "Good Boys" on the first day also climbed to 1.69 million. Although it is not as discipline-breaking as "October Siege", you only need to think about the production and production of "Good Boys". The publicity and distribution cost was only HK$5 million, while "October Siege" cost a total of 30 million in production costs and 5 million in publicity and distribution costs. The difference is still huge.

In terms of age groups and movie-watching classes, "October Siege" is definitely highly rated, but "Good Boys" relies on the atmosphere of a family-friendly story and will definitely do well at the box office when it is released during the Spring Festival.

Moreover, "Good Boy" was released together in Xiangjiang and Baodao, where it was also released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Wang Jing specially found child actors from Baodao to dub "Good Boy". With the golden name of "Produced by Yin Jun", and relying on Cai Songlin's hard work, "Good Boy" has won an equal number of awards in Baodao. The box office of HK$5.4 million also set a box office record for a non-weekend premiere in Baodao!

Seeing such good results, Cai Songlin was simply stunned. This was another "Speed ​​of Life and Death"! It’s so developed!
