Dreams of the Fragrant River

"Being optimistic is not closed

[Happy ghost, happy ghost]

Worrying about no one every day

[I don't control me, I don't control it]

Always pretend to be foolish and deceitful

[Happy ghost, happy ghost]

…”

When the theme song of "Happy Ghost" sounded at the end, the audience in the entire theater spontaneously applauded. The movie just now made them laugh out loud, and naturally they won't be stingy with applause at this time.

Rather than saying that "Happy Ghost" is a comedy ghost film, it is better to say that it is a youth campus comedy. Hong Kong films are now filled with a large number of kung fu films, and the rest are only some ancient costume martial arts films, romantic films, as well as market and fashion comedies. There are also youth campus movies, but they are all romantic and artistic films of love and love, and there are almost no campus comedies.

"Happy Ghost" is not only a rare youth campus comedy, but also adds the gimmick of ghosts, naturally giving the audience unprecedented surprises and joy.

Feeling the loud and loud applause around him, Wu Chenggang finally let out the sullen breath that had been in his chest for a long time. He smiled at Kang Jianfei and said, "A Fei, it seems that the box office of this movie will be very good. You don't need to worry about letting Boss Lei get off the stage."

"I hope the box office will exceed 10 million." Kang Jianfei also regained his confidence at this time, and figured out the reason for the low attendance rate for today's premiere.

Because while "Happy Ghost" was hyped, Jiahe did not lag behind. Although the promotion momentum of "Happy Ghost" has been pressing "Junior Brother Out of the Horse", Kang Jianfei is a rookie director after all, and Cheng Long is a popular movie star who just won the box office championship last year.

People have the inertia of consumption, just like choosing a familiar store when buying something. Audiences also have the habit of watching movies. Most audiences will still prefer Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Goes to the Horse", and report "Happy Ghost" with a wait-and-see attitude. That's why the theaters of "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" were full on the premiere day, while the average attendance rate of "Happy Ghost" was only over 50%.

From another point of view, it can also be understood that Cheng Long has a lot of box office appeal, while Kang Jianfei's box office appeal is temporarily zero - it is not ruled out that die-hard fans of "Xun Qin Ji" will buy tickets.

Kang Jianfei said casually, but Wu Chenggang was taken aback, and he said in surprise: "How dare you say that there has not been a movie in Hong Kong that has exceeded 8 million at the box office for decades. You actually want 10 million at the box office. I think It’s not bad that your movie has five million, and you can make more than one million all at once.”

Liang Ying clicked his tongue and said, "More than 1 million yuan, enough for me to sell beef and offal for the rest of my life."

The audience had already started to leave, and Kang Jianfei also stood up and said: "10 million is not much, "Happy Ghost" is a joint screening of 18 theaters, and it would be very embarrassing to have only 5 million at the box office. Besides, I just caught up with the good time, After New Year's Day, Hong Kong movie ticket prices will increase by one-third, which will increase the box office data a lot."

When Wu Chenggang thought that Kang Jianfei's movie box office would exceed 10 million, he felt it was too outrageous, shook his head and said nothing.

Wen Bixia took Kang Jianfei by the arm and walked out of the theater. Someone recognized her immediately and shouted loudly, "It's Lin Xiaohua, I saw Lin Xiaohua!"

As soon as the shout came out, many of the audience who had just watched the movie turned back immediately, and more than a dozen young audience members even rushed over, surrounded Wen Bixia and said, "Lin Xiaohua, sign me your name."

Kang Jianfei can't help laughing and laughing. There are already quite a few fans of Wen Bixia, but unfortunately these fans don't remember her real name, they only know the name of her character in the movie.

Wen Bixia was confused. Although she often fantasized about what it would be like when she became a big star, when this moment came, she was not mentally prepared. She just stood there dumbfounded, holding on tightly. Kang Jianfei's arm did not dare to let go.

Kang Jianfei patted the back of Wen Bixia's hand, then whispered to her ear, "Smile and sign for them."

"Oh." Wen Bixia reacted with a blunt smile on her face, and then took the pen to sign the fans' names that had been practiced for many days.

There were not many people with pens and notebooks, and it took only two minutes to sign the signature, but more and more people came around.

Kang Jianfei hurriedly walked out to protect Wen Bixia, shouting as he walked, "Everyone let me go, everyone let me go, this is the entrance of the cinema, it will block other moviegoers!"

Previously, everyone's attention was on Wen Bixia, but now Kang Jianfei spoke, and only then did someone recognize him as the second male lead in the film, and exclaimed in surprise, "He is Joseph, Lin Xiaohua's boyfriend in the film!"

"Wow, they're not really dating, are they?" someone else exclaimed.

"Maybe they started falling in love while filming." Another speculated.

"Lin Xiaohua is mine, you, Chen Shimei, get out of the way!" A dear friend rushed over in grief and indignation.

"…"

Although Kang Jianfei is very famous, the exposure rate of his photos is not high. Most people only know his name and never see him. It's a pity that he, a director, is only regarded as an ordinary actor playing the second male lead, and he has to face the hostility of Wen Bixia's fans.

Kang Jianfei fled with Wen Bixia in embarrassment. Those who had not watched "Happy Ghost" witnessed this scene and asked the audience who came out of the theater, "Is "Happy Ghost" good?"

"It's good-looking, it's on par with Xu Guanwen's funny movies!"

"so smart?"

"Why not? My stomach hurts from laughing while watching the movie, and the guy behind me sprayed my head with popcorn."

"Hey, man, who were you chasing just now?"

"Lin Xiaohua, the heroine of "Happy Ghost". There is also a heroine named Lin Jingjing, who is prettier than Lin Xiaohua!"

"…"

Kang Jianfei and Wen Bixia escaped from the crowd and went straight to a street before stopping.

"Huhuhu..." Wen Bixia panted while hanging Kang Jianfei's shoulders, and when her breath calmed down, she raised her head and asked, "Brother, have I really become a star?"

Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled: "Yes, big star, those people just now were all your fans."

Wen Bixia said happily, "I ran all the way here just now, but my mind was blank, and now it's like a dream."

Kang Jianfei called up a taxi and said, "Okay, get in the car quickly. After the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that there will be many directors looking for you to make movies, and you will be busy by then."

After Wen Bixia got into the car, she leaned into Kang Jianfei's arms and asked, "Then I can make a lot of money?"

Kang Jianfei said: "Well, after you become popular, the salary will be different. If you make a movie if the salary is less than 100,000, just ignore him."

Wen Bixia, who was in Kang Jianfei's arms, froze, swallowing her saliva and said, "100,000!"

"100,000 is still a small amount. If the box office of "Happy Ghost" exceeds 10 million, it should be quoted at least 300,000 when the remuneration is quoted." Kang Jianfei said.

The salary of 300,000 yuan is already very high for a Hong Kong actress at this time. For example, Zhao Yazhi acted as the heroine in two consecutive box-office films of "Ban Jin Ba Liang" and "Fa Qian Han", but her film salary was only around 100,000 yuan, and it did not rise to 200,000 yuan until "Shanghai Beach" hit the air. .

The reason why it is so low is that most of Zhao Yazhi in these films are vase characters. And Wen Bixia is different, because "Happy Ghost" is a girl's movie, plus the halo of breaking 10 million at the box office, the salary of 300,000 is very suitable.

For example, after Cheng Long's filming of "Drunken Fist" and "Snake-shaped Diaohand", his salary rose sharply, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com directly broke 1 million, and then "Laughing Fist and Strange Move" won the annual box office champion. Selling overseas, Cheng Long's salary at this time has reached 3 million.

In another time and space, after Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Goes to the Horse" hit the show, his salary rose to a terrifying 4.8 million, crushing all the actors in Hong Kong at the same time.

Also the protagonist of a movie with a box office of 10 million yuan, Wen Bixia's asking price of 300,000 is not high.

Of course, 300,000 is just an asking price. When it came time to pick up the film, the script was suitable for 108,000 yuan and then picked up. After all, Wen Bixia is just a newcomer who just made a movie.

The taxi was driving fast on the street, and when Wen Bixia thought that she could make hundreds of thousands of dollars from making a movie in the future, she trembled with excitement. She raised her head and kissed Kang Jianfei's face, and said gratefully, "Brother, thank you!"

Lei Juekun has gone home to rest, and Li Maowen is still waiting in the office. He is waiting for the feedback from the audience in the theater.

"Bang!"

The door of the office was slammed open, and Li Maowen's assistant broke in, gasping for breath, and said with a smile on his face: "Manager, good news, the audience's response was very enthusiastic. When "Happy Ghost" was shown, there was a laughing."

"Oh," Li Maowen was overjoyed, but he felt a little awkward, because he never liked the movie "Happy Ghost", did he really miss the point? He waved, "Continue to make people stare, no, I'll go and see for myself!"
