Hong Kong Stubborn - Chapter 119

On September 23, “Jurassic Park” and “The White-haired Witch” were painted at the same time.

“Jurassic Park” lasted for 3 months and won a jaw-dropping 61.9 million Hong Kong dollar box office. A foreign film actually broke the Hong Kong box office record, and the box office broke the 60 million Hong Kong dollar mark, which is unimaginable in the eyes of the circle, and it is also a nuclear bomb-level blow to the local production.

The box office of “The White-haired Witch” is 19.87 million Hong Kong dollars, and it is the absolute overlord at this time. The Hong Kong film market is really unpredictable, and the ups and downs of the market are unpredictable.

The two films increased the box office revenue of the Oriental Snow Country Cinema by 45.96 million Hong Kong dollars, and the army sister gave Hu Xin a set of top brand cosmetics. This time thanks to Hu Xin’s decisive acquisition of the “Jurassic Park” rights to the Hong Kong screening, sister army’s heart is much less pressured.

The Snow Knights distribution company has also made a lot of money. According to the 45% of the box office share of foreign films, it can be credited to 27.85 million Hong Kong dollars. This payment no longer requires Taiwanese capital advances. After removing the cost of 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars, the income has reached more than 20 million.

The reason was that Hu Xin was shocked when she watched the “Jurassic” sample. She had never seen such realistic special effects, but instead stimulated her strong desire to shop.

The next Hong Kong film market entered a garbage period again, and the films shown in various theaters were terrible at the box office.

The theater line of Oriental Snow Country is screened by Oriental Film Distribution Co., Ltd. “The King of Yin and Yang of Painted Skin”. This film is directed by the master-level director Hu Jinquan, starring Sammo Hung, Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Zuxian, Wu Ma, and Lin Zhengying. It is definitely an ultra-luxury lineup in this schedule.

The Oriental Film Distribution Company finally got the agency distribution rights. As a result, the box office was only 1.31 million Hong Kong dollars, which caused the expectant spectators in the movie circle to break their glasses directly, which also made a box of lunch money.

On September 28, Luo Junyan announced that “Wu Shuang” was completed.

In order to make this film well this time, Fa Ge did not go out to make money, which is not a trivial matter for him. He also likes this script very much, not only the theme and plot are novel, but also deep and connotative. It is a very representative movie.

Sister Army was finally relieved when she heard the news of the finale, so don’t worry about the Christmas file.

The Xiangjiang Film Market this year is too torturous. The box office market fluctuates sharply. If you miss two or three hit movies, you may lose money, and people have to keep nervous at all times.

Brother Cheng returned to Xiangjiang before October. The construction of the Korean Performing Arts Base went very smoothly, and the company’s personnel structure was sorted out. Luo Junyan was relieved after taking the time to chat with Brother Cheng. He has invested 350 million Hong Kong dollars in private property in South Korea. He is not afraid of slowness or chaos, and everything is fine.

He really saw a ghost in 1993. “Phantom Heroes”, which was released from “Jurassic Park”, once again occupied the top spot in the box office of this period.

Xiangjiang audiences are no strangers to the lead actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, but they are not much sought after. However, “Phantom Heroes” can maintain attendance and sell high box office.

For this film, Hu Xin invested another 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in publicity expenses, summoning those audiences who like “Terminator”. And bodybuilder Schwarzenegger also became the first American star to appear in the daily photo version of “Spotlight”. This is the result of Hu Xin’s struggle with American producers.

Luo Junyan concentrates on post-production, and the editing of “Wu Shuang” follows a triple flip, ultimately leaving the purpose of suspense. The editing work is very hard. Brain-burning movies burn not only the brain cells of the audience, but the director who loses the most hair.

The post-production of “Wushuang” took 20 days. This is not a procrastinating 20 days. During these 20 days, Luo Junyan has only held his daughter a few times.

During the post-production of Wushuang, sister army faced a choice.

The Infinite Movie Film Company, founded by director Er Dongsheng, produced a literary romance film “New Love”. When Hu Xin talked about agency distribution rights, Er Dongsheng said that “New Love” could be handed over to Snow Knight Distribution Company for agency distribution, but the theater party must promise two months of long-term screening, and it would be an unconditional long-term screening.

Sister Army has seen the samples and feels that Hong Kong has a strong flavor, and may break through the siege of comedy and action movies. However, the two-month long movie will include Christmas and New Year’s Day files. At that time, the attendance rate is not good, but the film can not be changed. That is really crying without tears.

Moreover, Oriental Film Company has already booked “The White Haired Witch 2” in the Christmas file, plus Luo Junyan’s “Wu Shuang”, if you agree to show “New Love”, then there is no good film source to be included.

Er Dongsheng is quite temperamental, and the conditions for all issuing companies are the same. He would rather go to an alliance temporarily formed by independent theaters to be released, rather than make concessions on the screening conditions.

The Golden Princess Cinema Line has already screened the “New Difficult Brothers” produced by UFO Film Company during the Christmas period, and there is a lack of interest in the same type of film.

And, in November, the fantasy production “Green Snake” directed by Tsui Hark will be screened. “Green Snake” starring Maggie Cheung and Joey Wang, Director Xu did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to use a lot of computer special effects in the film.

“Jurassic Park” can sell 60 million, and the Golden Princess Cinemas believe that “Green Snake” can be screened for at least 50 million Hong Kong dollars in two months. There is no blank canvas left for “New Love”.

Jiahe Cinemas screened “Money Robbing Couples” starring Xu Guanwen and Xiao Fangfang, which turned out to be a similar theme.

In addition, “Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng” starring Jet Li will be screened in mid-November. This film was produced by Zhengdong Film Company, which was founded by Jet Li. Jie Ge made it very carefully, and the film is likely to continue to be released after New Year’s Day.

The Xinbao cinema line is screened by Yongsheng’s “Eternal Dragon Slayer”, starring Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Zhang Min, Qiu Shuzhen, Gigi Lai and other stars.

Xinbao Cinema has high box office expectations for this film. In order to win the exclusive screening rights, it promised a very high percentage of screenings. Then “New Love” is dispensable, and it certainly can’t make the promise of a two-month long movie.

Only the Oriental Snow Country Cinemas and the Freedom League of Independent Cinemas did not give a clear answer. The Freedom League of Independent Cinemas has different internal opinions. After all, the probability of love literary films is quite high.

Finally, the army sister asked Unlimited Films to promise a guaranteed box office of 15 million Hong Kong dollars. If you give you a two-month long filming cycle, and the box office of 15 million can’t be guaranteed, then the so-called confidence is empty shelf.

Er Dongsheng agreed swiftly, and privately believed that 15 million was less. This guy should also be a gambler, and a gambler with a little literary temperament. In short, “New Love” was handed over to the Snow Knight Publishing Company for agency.

Hu Xin has also agreed on the simultaneous release of “Wushuang” in other cities. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia have pledged a total of 67 million Hong Kong dollars to guarantee the box office, and the bet is much bigger than that of Bill Dongsheng.

The schedules of various theaters have been vacated. On November 15th, “Wu Shuang” will be released simultaneously in various Asian markets.

This time Luo Junyan was nervous. The guaranteed box office is not a joke. If the situation is not good, the remaining 9 million yuan in the Snowman Century Entertainment account will definitely not be enough to compensate. In addition, Snow White Knight also paid 3 million Hong Kong dollars for marketing promotion in other cities. It can be said that when “Wu Shuang” fell, Ah Jun ate the grass.

The popular schedule battles of Christmas and New Year’s Day at the end of the year will be staged ahead of schedule in November.

On November 4th, “Green Snake” was screened on the Golden Princess Theatre. The start was not tepid, and then the attendance rate dropped crazily. This still has no competitors to grab the box office.

On November 10, “Phantom Heroes” was finished, and “New Love” was released.

“Phantom Heroes” comfortably scored 18.9 million Hong Kong dollars in the box office without the strong resistance of local films. The Snow Knight Fang company received 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars, and the income was 4.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Even after deducting the issuance costs and taxes, the net profit was more than 3.5 million.

On November 15th, “Wu Shuang” was released simultaneously in Asia, and Luo Junyan was back in the arena.

The news that premiered simultaneously in Asia also caused quite a stir in Hong Kong. Of course, Luo Junyan has no time to pay attention to the newspaper news. The local media has handed over to Cheng Cheng, Bian Sicong in charge of Japan, Jin Zhehe in charge of South Korea, and Hu Xin in charge of Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Luo Junyan himself embarked on a high-intensity Asian promotional tour. Fa Ge sits in Hong Kong to promote him, “New Entertainment” specially sends people to follow up and report on his boss, and create gimmicks at any time.

On November 18th, “Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng” was screened on Jiahe Cinema. As a result, the premiere was completely messed up by the burst of attendance of “New Love” and “Wushuang”.

What’s even more surprising is that “Green Snake” was painted in advance on the same day. The box office of this special effects big production was only HK$9.5 million, and the release time was only two weeks. The production company Siyuan Pictures recovered a miserable 2.6 million in the local market.

In November, in accordance with the slogan planned by Cheng Ge, “Wu Shuang” became a brainstorm and became popular in Asia.

Luo Junyan even did not hesitate to allow female fans to kiss him on the cheek in Japan and South Korea. In the local market, he used his brother to make publicity. “Wu Shuang” took the thugs “New Love”, arrogant to the extreme, and beat “Green Snake” and “Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng” in a daze.

On December 13, “New Difficult Brothers” was released in advance on the Golden Princess Theatre. But the monstrous flood disaster has come, and the hasty construction of the dam will drag oneself into the water. The premiere of the film is quite bleak.

Brother Cheng thinks that the name of the film fits the scene. The Golden Princess Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and Xinbao Cinemas are the latest brothers and sisters.

The year-end summary and banquet of the Snowman department on December 12 were postponed. Luo Junyan even forgot to pay attention to the rental income of the Snow White Building. This is rare for his thrifty old landlord.

In 1993, the White Snow Times Building had a net rental profit of 34.2 million Hong Kong dollars. After receiving the rental income, the army sister paid 12 million Hong Kong dollars to the American Island Management Company.

The couple’s private account has saved more than 79 million. Sister Army didn’t save money this year, but simply didn’t have time to spend money.

Luo Junyan became addicted to the market in other cities, and the promotion fee was added 2 million Hong Kong dollars. All major cities have to meet with fans. He dared to increase his investment in “Wu Shuang” again, because it was almost a month since it was released, and the box office results he had gained were enough to let him resign himself.

On December 18th, “The Legend of Heaven Slaying the Dragon” was screened online at Xinbao Cinema. If “Brothers and Brothers of New Difficulties” brought sacks to fight the flood, then “The Legend of Heaven Sword and Dragon Slayer” saved all the sacks, and it was almost collapsed.

On December 21st, Jiahe Cinemas had to download “Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng” in advance, and urgently screened “Money Robber Couple”. The final box office of “Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng” was 12.54 million Hong Kong dollars, and San Mao’s salary alone was 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Just say how much money Dongzheng Film Company lost.

On the same day, “The Story of the White-haired Witch 2” was screened at Oriental Snow Country Cinema.

Sister Army asked Oriental Film Company in advance whether to postpone the movie?

Huang Baiming believes that both “Wu Shuang” and “New Infinite Love” have been released for nearly one and a half months, and should be about to enter a period of decline, especially “New Infinite Love”, where attendance has fallen rapidly. “The White-Haired Witch 2” was going to grab the box office for Christmas and New Year’s Day at this time, but it was favorable, so I decided to release it on schedule.

The result is a tragedy. There is no distinction between friendly and enemy forces in the movie market, and the ending of “The White Haired Witch 2” can be predicted on the day it was painted. The film won the box office, but it was robbed by others.

Before New Year’s Day, Luo Junyan finally returned to Xiangjiang, and immediately gathered all the main actors of “Wushuang” to start a large-scale running campaign.

The people in the circle are mad. Luo Junyan didn’t leave a way for others to survive. It’s all in this situation, and she has to go back and grab other people’s box office.

After the New Year’s Day holiday in 1994, Luo Junyan completely disappeared. At this time, the box office of “Wushuang” in this city has broken the box office record of local production, can it break the record of “Jurassic Park”? People in the circle are all paying attention to this now, and they are all guessing whether the annual box office champion of Xiangjiang will be snatched away by a foreign film?

On January 5, “New Difficult Brothers” was drawn offline, with a box office of 21.37 million Hong Kong dollars, and was half drowned.

On January 6, “Eight Dragon Slaying the Dragon” was painted offline, with a box office of 11.85 million Hong Kong dollars, and died in the water.

On January 6, “The Story of the White-haired Witch 2” was released on the same day, with a box office of 11.84 million Hong Kong dollars.

On January 6, “The New Cohabitation Era” starring Wu Qianlian, Maggie Cheung, Zhang Aijia, and Wu Qilong was screened online at the Golden Princess Theatre, lowering the top spot of “New Love”, which is also a love literary film, to less than 40%.

The Oriental Snow Country Cinemas kept their promises and held firm until January 13 before releasing “New Love”. “New Love” has been in theaters for 2 months, and the final box office is 31.15 million Hong Kong dollars. Er Dongsheng won the bet this time.

On January 19, both “Couples” and “Wu Shuang” were drawn at the same time. Jiahe didn’t dare to download the film ahead of schedule, and was worried that “Wu Shuang” would seize a short period of time. This period is really tormenting for various theaters.

The box office of “Money Robber” was 18.74 million Hong Kong dollars, while the box office of “Wu Shuang” was 62.07 million Hong Kong dollars, grabbing the box office record of the Hong Kong movie and the position of the annual box office champion. In order to achieve this goal, sister army also violated the rules once, arranging “Wu Shuang”, which has reached the conditions for painting, to be released for 5 more days.

The Xiangjiang media reprinted a report one after another. The ending sentence was that Luo Jun’s “Jurassic”, a Tyrannosaurus rex, set a unique record of Hong Kong’s box office at 62 million Hong Kong dollars, and defended the local box office’s annual box office champion.

So Luo Junyan had a new nickname that spread all over Xiangjiang in an instant, Wushuang Dragon Knight.

Happy New Year’s Day everyone! ! !
