Chapter 915 Rave Reviews

Nani! ?

1.62 million! ?

How could it suddenly be nearly twice as high as yesterday?

Didn’t you say that this movie is a piece of shit?

After this statistical data came out, I don’t know how many reporters frantically called various theaters, trying to get the most authentic box office data, so as to expose the ugly face of the distributor.

But it is a pity that after their continuous comparison, this data has not changed at all.

Oh, I can’t say there haven’t been any changes at all.

One movie theater omitted some statistics and ended up adding a few thousand yuan to 1.62 million.

With this result, the reporters were on the verge of tears.

They couldn't wait to take back all the comments and questions they sent out yesterday.

It is conceivable that after a few hours of early morning newspapers come out, how many people in Hong Kong will sneer at these so-called famous bookkeeping experts.

Although this group of reporters had been slapped in the face more than once or twice, and their shame was of little use to them, to encounter such a reversal in one day was simply a great shame and humiliation.

Hung Jinbao, who had been staying up all night waiting for the news, the moment he got the data, he jumped up and screamed to the sky to vent the pressure and panic in his heart.

Even someone with a lot of confidence like Lin Zhengying couldn't help but laugh.

That’s right!

Isn't this how it should be?

It is a good movie!

He was happy, but Lin Zhengying still had sense. He quickly suppressed Hong Jinbao who wanted to call Yin Jun to announce the good news.

It's almost one o'clock in the morning. If you call me, isn't it disturbing someone?

Besides, the overall situation has been decided. No matter how happy you are when Young Master Jun gets up, it will be the same.

Hong Jinbao could only take his hand away from the phone angrily.

But he immediately felt a little uneasy, "Isn't this just a flash in the pan?"

"Of course not." Lin Zhengying was more confident at this time, ""Mr. Zombie" is not a traditional horror film at all. In a practical sense, it should be a comedy film, just wrapped in a zombie film shell. It is a comedy. It is neither scary nor scary, and it is also very humorous and funny. It also retains the very mysterious and interesting Maoshan technique. This kind of movie should be liked by both adults and children."

"Brother Ying, what do you think our box office can achieve?" Hong Jinbao asked expectantly.

Everyone at Jiabao Company, including Yuan Biao and others, were a little worried. Only Lin Zhengying kept telling them that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" would be stable.

Now the facts prove that Lin Zhengying was right.

So Hong Jinbao is looking forward to getting good news again.

"I dare not say that it will be the second movie to break through 30 million box office, but it should be impossible to escape 22 million." Lin Zhengying said with a smile, "Actually, Jun Shao has already known these things."

"Why?" Hong Jinbao asked in surprise, "No matter how powerful Mr. Jun is, he can't predict it so accurately, right?"

"Why not?" Lin Zhengying asked Hong Jinbao, "How much did you buy the script for, Sanmao? Five million, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Hong Jinbao nodded and replied.

"How much did Wu Siyuan's "Dragon Tiger Boys" cost?"

"It's also 5 million..." Hong Jinbao answered here, suddenly stunned, and immediately reacted, "Brother Ying, what you mean is... Mr. Jun knows that the potential of the two movies is about the same, so he sold it for 5 million. ?”

"Isn't it?" Lin Zhengying said, "otherwise, why didn't he give you "Red Zone"? Why did "Red Zone" sell for 10 million, and use this to directly invest in it as an investment?"

"Tsk tsk!"

After being silent for a while, Hong Jinbao sighed with relief and sigh, "Young Master Jun is so smart that he has no friends! But fortunately, we can make money back in Xiangjiang... This business in other places will not Is it worse than "Dragon Tiger Boys"?"

"I don't know about this." Lin Zhengying said, ""The Boys" has the intention of borrowing the momentum of "E.T.". We have just started now, and I don't know if we can borrow the momentum. But to be honest, I think "E.T." "Mr. Zombie" should have a higher box office in Taiwan and Singapore. We can also look forward to it in South Korea and Japan, but it's uncertain in places like Malaysia and Thailand, because zombie culture may not necessarily make them Adaptation is not as good as "Dragon Tiger Youth Team"."

"I am very satisfied with these markets." Hung Kam-bao waved his hand, "Don't forget, this drama has a total of four episodes. As long as the foundation of the first part is firmly laid, we can make four movies in the series in four years. You can earn 10 to 20 million a year, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?"

"Yes." Lin Zhengying agreed.

"Brother Ying, you have worked hard during this period!" Hong Jinbao said thoughtfully, "When the box office and buyout dividends come down, I, Sanmao, will definitely express my gratitude to everyone. Don't worry!"

"good."

Lin Zhengying nodded.

Hong Jinbao used to be relatively stingy, but since he took Yin Jun's script, he has changed a lot in the past two years.

Although it is impossible to be very generous, in terms of dividends and remuneration, it is much more generous than before.

In the past, he would just spend a few thousand yuan, but now, for example, for last year's "Prodigal Son", he took a total of 3 million and shared it with everyone.

This year's "Mr. Zombie" is gaining momentum now, and it's even less likely that Hung Kam-bao will be more stingy than before.

Moreover, Lin Zhengying also knew that Yin Jun's four films all used him as the protagonist and also allowed himself to be the director. This was the reason why Hong Jinbao made such a positive statement.

Lin Zhengying hasn't thought about anything to do alone yet.

First of all, he has made the first part of "Mr. Zombie" and has a lot of thoughts and insights in his heart. He still needs to settle down and study more before he can shoot the second, third and fourth parts. good.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows how hard Yin Jun works and how serious he is on the set.

Lin Zhengying herself felt that even a super rich man as accomplished as Yin Jun could take a movie so seriously, so why should he be lazy? How could you sit back and rest on your laurels without thinking about what's next?

You must make every film well and put your heart into every film, so that Yin Jun's script is not wasted and you can grow and develop better.

Secondly, Hung Kam-bao had long known that "Mr. Zombie" and subsequent films would be inseparable from Lin Zhengying, and he also offered him very good conditions.

For example, for "Mr. Zombie", 1 million was given to him as the director and protagonist, plus 10% of the box office profit share. This price is already very good.

Since the conditions are very good, there is no need to do it yourself.

Moreover, even if you have to do it yourself, wouldn't it be possible to gain more fame and fortune after four movies, when you have more experience and your reputation is more famous?

As for whether Yin Jun will blame himself for following the trend and filming, Lin Zhengying feels that there is no need to worry too much.

Needless to say, after three years, at most one or two months, zombie movies similar to "Mr. Zombie" will be released in droves.

Following the trend of a movie, a successful movie, is the characteristic of Xiangjiang.

These directors who have no ability or creativity, don't know how seriously they stare at every movie created by Yin Jun.

Of course, many of them also make profits and losses, and this depends on their own abilities.

They have been following the trend for several years and have never seen Yin Jun say anything. It will be impossible for them to film it themselves in the future.

Even if Yin Jun feels that he is not good, then he can say hello in advance and talk to his junior brother Wei Xiaofan, and it will be OK.

…

Lin Zhengying's judgment on the box office was not wrong, and his judgment on word of mouth was even more correct.

A few hours later, the first wave of comments about "Mr. Zombie" came in like a flood in "Qilin Daily".

Although "Mr. Zombie" was released the day before yesterday, it was only released on Thursday night. Many people went home and fell asleep after watching it, and did not have time to call "Qilin Daily" to express their opinions.

And "Kilin Daily" has to start printing at 3 a.m. at the latest, so the time is not rushed.

Yesterday was different. It was being screened from morning to night. In addition to the audience from the day before, a lot of people called to express their excitement.

These words became words and were published on the "Entertainment Tucao Edition".

"Damn it! Are those reporters just eating shit? Such a good movie, how could they say it's not good? I went to the premiere, but when I woke up the next day and read the newspaper, my lungs nearly exploded! Theirs Where did the eyes go?”

"Seeing that the newspapers in Xiangjiang were going crazy against Mr. Jun, I calmly went to see "Mr. Zombie" with my classmates in the morning. I was not disappointed! The reporters who didn't watch the movie but talked nonsense were all Go hit the streets!"

"Hahaha, you're amusing me to death! Qiu Sheng is so naughty, Wen Cai is so pitiful! And Uncle Jiu, so cool!"

"The most pitiable thing is the zombie, okay? It's being teased like this. If it had any sense, it would have been pissed to death for the second time!"

"That's right! How could Master Jun's script not be good? My girlfriend read it the day before yesterday and took me to it again yesterday. She laughed so much that my legs turned red!"

"For the screenwriter in Xiangjiang who can make such a down-to-earth zombie movie, I can only admire Jun Shao! Jun Shao is the best!"

"You dog reporters! Are you calling this a waste of talent? You are really blind!"

"Hehe, I also listened to the comments from my classmates and went to see it last night. It was so good! Tony Leung is so handsome. I really want to be his girlfriend..."

"..."

The current entertainment complaint edition of "Kilin Daily" has become an important reference for word-of-mouth.

Most of the complaints and praises here are true feelings.

"Qilin Daily" will conduct a round of screening within its own system, and then select the comments that best represent the opinions and send them out.

This can roughly reflect the reputation of film and television entertainment works.

I even heard that the three major TV stations will now make some modifications to programs and TV series based on the comments on the complaints version, which further improves the status of the complaints version and makes everyone more enthusiastic about making complaints.

This is not to say that there are no newspapers that imitate "Kilin Daily", but now "Qilin Daily" is the first, most topical, and has the largest sales volume. Whether it is the complainers or the film and television companies, it is naturally the most important place.

Ordinary melon-eaters also like the complaint section of "Qilin Daily" the most. Now when everyone mentions "complaint section", they are definitely not talking about other newspapers, but "Qilin Daily". This is already everyone's default. .

As a result, such a large wave of positive reviews for "Mr. Zombie" completely reversed other people's doubts about "Mr. Zombie" and attracted more people to watch it in the cinema.

As a result, the box office hit 2.1 million on Saturday.

Sunday's box office grossed another 1.9 million.

In its four-day opening weekend, "Mr. Zombie" grossed 6.49 million, surpassing "The Boys" and becoming the second-highest-grossing movie in Hong Kong's history in its opening weekend! !
