Chapter 312 Motivated (44)

That’s right, “The Village Fox Wife” was a hit!

It grossed HK$10.28 million at the box office in the first four days of the weekend...

Not only Shen Xudong was surprised by this result, Cai Yinong confirmed it several times.

She couldn't believe it!

The cost of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" was only RMB 3.2 million. I originally thought that it would be released a few times and the cost would be almost recovered by selling the copyright...

The important thing is to establish a relationship with United Cinemas.

Damn it, I got my money back in the first four days!

Now, she is glad that she did not directly sell the audio and video copyright...

If sold, it would be between 800,000 and 1 million, but now, the price is at least ten times higher!

Bringing it back, there are a lot of movies at the same time as "The Village Fox Wife" was released, such as "Constantine", "The Incredibles", a bunch of Hollywood movies, Wei Jiahui also has "Himalayas"...

Shen Xudong didn't understand that there were no big stars in "Village Fox Wife".

Xu Jinjiang, Xie Junhao and Weng Hong don't look like they have charisma!

But it’s a big hit…

According to the words of Hong Kong Film Magazine: Miracle!

Hong Kong has become quite famous for its horror films in the past two years. The series "Hell", "Three Watches" and "Yin Yang Road" are very famous throughout Asia!

Although the box office is not great, whether the movie makes money cannot be judged by the box office alone...

It also depends on the influence.

Apart from anything else, there are more than a dozen films in the "Yin Yang Road" series, and the audio and video copyrights of each film can be earned.

The highest box office should be "Hell" with HK$13.73 million;

As for the famous "Alien Space", the box office is actually quite poor, about 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Village Fox Wife" not only had a high box office in its first week, but also had a good reputation. Most importantly, it has great influence. As expected, there is no problem with the box office exceeding HK$30 million!

When Cai Yinong heard what the distribution company said, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say...

…

"The box office exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars? Are you sure you won't see an extra zero?"

Gao Fenfen was also surprised after receiving the news...

“Look it up online, hurry up!”

"oh…"

I quickly turned on my computer and searched for "The Village Fox Wife", and it immediately popped up, "Shen Xudong's new work "The Village Fox Wife" is a hit in Hong Kong..."

Chen Xi immediately said: "Tianya, let's see if anyone in Tianya is discussing it!"

So I quickly entered the Tianya website address...

In the film and television section, the screen is full of discussion posts about the success of "The Village Fox Wife".

The top question is 'Can "The Fox Wife" be released in the Mainland? ’

"...can it be released?"

This time Gao Fenfen immediately replied: "Yes, we have the dragon mark."

Chen Xi explained: "But our distribution power with Tang Ren was not enough, so we signed 13 theater chains..."

"Won't China Film Company help with the distribution?"

"It was only with the support of China Film that we were able to get 13 theater lines...and we only prepared 300 copies!"

Gao Fenfen directly ordered: "Call and print 700 more immediately..."

"Distribution is Tang Ren's business..."

Gao Fenfen shook his head: "Not anymore...I will contact the New Film Alliance immediately, and then expand to 20 more theaters through the New Film Alliance..."

While taking out his mobile phone to find the number, he looked at Chen Xi with admiration: "I still admire you very much. You first released it in Hong Kong to detonate the market, and then fed back to the mainland market... This is such a clever move!"

"hehe…"

Is there such a thing as a shame, that is, no one thought that this film would be a box office hit from the beginning?

The Hong Kong release is not because you are particularly optimistic about the market, it is just for publicity?

No matter what, it is an established fact that "Mountain Village Fox Wife" will be a hit!

It will be released in Hong Kong on February 9th, the second day of the Lunar New Year, yes, it will be released in time for the Spring Festival!

It’s February 14th in the Mainland, Valentine’s Day…

A horror movie for Valentine’s Day?

What's this? I'm following last year's hit "Close Your Eyes", including the year before last, "The Man in the Old Mansion", which was released on Valentine's Day. The former took in 20.8 million at the box office, and the latter also took in 11 million. !

Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: "Sister Fenfen, we have investments in both "The Village Fox Wife" and "The Legend of the Xing'anling Hunter", right?"

"...Yes, each voted half...Oops!"

Speaking of this, Gaofenfen people suddenly felt annoyed: "I sold 10% of my investment share to Deng Jie, and it was two movies!"

"...It's okay, it's just 10%!"

"The loss is huge. "Party A and Party B 2" will only make 100% profit at best. We can make 3 to 5 times the profit this time at least!"

Shen Xudong was curious: "We also have investment in "Party A and Party B 2"?"

"That's right, you said, 'If you have the ability, go get the investment share,' so I went for it...and not only that, we directly invested 15% in "A World Without Thieves"!"

"...You are still awesome!"

Chen Xi finished the phone call with Cai Yinong: "She didn't respond, but she has contacted the actors and actresses, and they should all be there the day after tomorrow..."

"what?"

"Running for publicity!"

"Hong Kong... still needs to be promoted?"

"Mainland promotion... Hong Kong is also going to go. When the box office exceeds 20 million, you all go together!"

Shen Xudong frowned: "...but I'm going to Berlin on the 16th!"

"Why go to Berlin?"

""Party A and Party B 2" sells adaptation rights..."

Chen Xi shook his head: "Propaganda is more important!"

"That…"

"You should go back and rest quickly..."

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "If this happens, wouldn't I be able to attend the final banquet of our TV series?"

"There will be a chance, isn't it said that the second part will start filming at the end of the year!"

…

News that "The Fox Wife" was a hit in Hong Kong quickly spread to the mainland, and many people in the "Housekeeper" crew received the news immediately.

Originally, the directing team all belonged to Tang Ren...

Zeng Li also knew!

Everyone in the crew was chatting and basically guessing about the plot...

Yan Danchen: "The name should be based on the legend of a fox demon...but if it really is a fox demon, there is no reason why it should be released in the mainland."

Dong Xuan answered: "It's hard to say...I heard it was distributed by China Film Group..."

As a signed artist of China Film, Yan Danchen shook his head calmly: "It's useless for China Film to distribute it. The key to the problem is not who distributes it, but the scale. If it is really large scale, China Film's production will not pass the review!"

"I agree with this. "Dahong Rice Store" and "Liao Zhai·Xi Fangping" were not released!"

"That…"

"It will be released the day after tomorrow, go and see it!"

Dong Xuan looked at her and said, "I thought you would ask Shen Xudong!"

Yan Danchen smiled. She understood what Dong Xuan meant and shook her head: "He doesn't seem to be on the set."

Zeng Li interrupted: "Ah? Aren't you here?"

"I called him two days ago, but he didn't answer!"

"...That's it..."

Zeng Li didn't say anything about having dinner together a few days ago. She has been thinking about what Shen Xudong said for the past two days!

As an actress, since she has entered this circle, she must be competitive - reality will teach her that if she is not popular, she will have no status!

Seeing her classmates, Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Hu Jing and even Yuan Quan, winning awards and becoming famous, Zeng Li felt a little anxious...

She originally thought things would get better after graduation, after all, she was so beautiful!

Nothing has gotten better. Five years after graduation, I can still only play supporting roles.

The role of Xiao Yuruo in "The Great Butler" is already a good role she has played in recent years...

The appearance of Chen Hao directly stimulated her - she could star in Feng Xiaogang's movie casually.

I decided to go find him tonight...
