Dreams of the Fragrant River

Li Maowen walked into Lei Juekun's office with a few forms, ready to report to the boss about the release of "Happy Ghost" yesterday.

Speaking of which, he was particularly aggrieved as the general manager of the theater chain, and many things were originally within his responsibilities and powers. However, since the Golden Princess Cinema has just been reformed, the boss behind it, Lei Juekun, has to ask about everything. Not only is he unable to make decisions, but he has become a voice for errands.

"Sit down!" Lei Juekun said, closing the book in his hand.

Li Maowen put the table sorted by his assistant on Lei Juekun's table, and then said: "Yesterday, the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day has been counted. 18 theaters showed three consecutive shows, and the average attendance rate was 59.6%. The box office on the first day was more than 427,800 yuan.”

The box office on the first day exceeded 400,000, which was a sign of the annual box office champion last year, but don't forget that this year's movie ticket price has increased by one-third.

Lei Juekun asked, "How about "Junior Brother Out of the Horse"?"

Li Maowen replied: "According to their release, the box office is estimated to be at least 700,000."

Lei Juekun asked again, "How did the audience react?"

Li Maowen said: "The audience who watched "Happy Ghost" said it was good-looking and funny. I estimate that after the word of mouth spread, the attendance rate should gradually increase. However, "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" was also well received, and they said Cheng Long's film is good, and there are a lot of jokes."

Lei Juekun smiled and said, "Just wait for the media to take action."

Lee Gardens, Central, Hong Kong.

This is a time-honored luxury Cantonese restaurant. The XO sauce, which was popular in the Chinese world in later generations, was first launched in Liyuan in 1981.

Today, the first floor of Liyuan was wrapped up by Zou Wenhuai, and it was specially used to hold a celebration banquet for Cheng Long. The first-day box office of "Junior Brother" is not the 700,000 predicted by Li Maowen, but more than 816,000, which is almost double the box office of "Happy Ghost" on the first day.

"Junior Brother Out of the Horse" was also screened three times in a row in the Golden Harvest Cinema. The average attendance rate of the first scene was 86%, and the second and third scenes were full.

The box office on the first day was 810,000. In 20 days of release, the box office of "Junior Brother" will definitely exceed 10 million. This will be the first film in Hong Kong's local box office to break the 10 million mark. In addition to the revenue from the box office itself, it will also bring fame and influence, and Golden Harvest will also create greater glories and become the leader of the Hong Kong film industry. s position.

In addition to the senior management of Jiahe and the cast members of "Junior Brothers", there were also many stars of Jiahe and the bosses of satellite companies who came to the celebration banquet.

Zou Wenhuai led He Guanchang to stand up and personally toasted: "Aaron, this time you have made a great contribution to the company, I will toast you on behalf of everyone!"

Cheng Long didn't dare to accept Zou Wenhuai's toast, he quickly stood up with a glass of wine and bent over and said, "I don't dare, I should respect Mr. Zou, if it wasn't for your support, "Junior Brother Out of the Horse" would have been shot again. Well, it can't win such a high box office."

"Yes, yes, thank you Boss Zou for your support." Yuan Biao, who played the second male lead in "Junior Brother," also stood up to agree, and then the entire table and the entire audience stood up and toasted Zou Wenhuai together.

"Hahaha, alright, I'll just drink this cup, you can do whatever you want!" Zou Wenhuai was very relieved, and for a while he felt the heroic feeling that the world was in my hands.

After everyone toasted and sat down again, the boss of a small film company flattered and said, "Princess Jin still wants to compete with Jiahe for the box office, without weighing her own weight, she actually supports a small cost of filming for a mainland boy. Movie. Now Lei Juekun was beaten in the head by Boss Zou and Aaron, and he is probably hiding somewhere to drink. But it's not a celebration drink, but a boring drink to drink, hahaha!"

Many guests also burst into laughter. Although Zou Wenhuai understood that the person was flattering, he felt more comfortable when he heard such words at this time. He smiled and waved his hand: "Boss Lei is also not easy, the first day of "Happy Ghost" The box office can exceed 400,000 yuan, and he has also lost a lot of effort, so let's not talk about people behind their backs."

"Mr. Zou is really generous!" The guests praised one after another.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zou Wenhuai and Cheng Long became the center of the celebration banquet. From time to time, people brought wine glasses to toast in front of the two of them. The wine that respects Zou Wenhuai is naturally to let Boss Zou help him a lot; and the wine that respects Cheng Long is to hope that he can cooperate with Cheng Long to make movies in the future.

The director and actor of the first film with a box office of over 10 million, this halo is too great, Cheng Long's box office appeal will reach an unprecedented height in the future.

Hong Jinbao was sitting on the side drinking wine alone. Cheng Long's new film was a big hit, and he was naturally happy for his younger brother. But now there are too many people toasting, he can't even join in, and suddenly he feels left out - he used to be a lot of support to his juniors and juniors, but Cheng Long, who once needed him to take care of him, now surpasses him. , which made Hong Jinbao feel a little uncomfortable.

While drinking wine cup by cup, Chen Xunqi suddenly leaned over and asked, "Brother Sanmao, I want to learn to be a director, where should I start?"

Chen Xunqi is the composer of "Junior Brother Goes to the Horse", and he is also a first-line composer in the Hong Kong film industry today. Later, in "Journey to the West", when Zixia said to Supreme Treasure before her death: "I guessed the beginning, but I can't guess the ending", the music that sounded was made by Chen Xunqi.

Chen Xunqi also cooperated with Hong Jinbao. Hong Jinbao asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly think of being a director?"

Chen Xunqi smiled and said, "People always have to try new things."

"If you don't want my Baoxiang to come, I'll let you be the assistant director first." Hong Jinbao said with a smile. Baoxiang Film Company was established by Hong Jinbao last year with the support of Jiahe. He also co-founded a Jiabao Film Company with Mecca the year before, but they broke up after two or three films.

The two were talking when suddenly a man, holding several newspapers and magazines, hurried to Zou Wenhuai's side and whispered something in his ear.

Zou Wenhuai kept his face unchanged and let the tablemates continue to eat and drink, but he went out with those newspapers and magazines. When he came to the lounge of the restaurant, Zou Wenhuaicai opened an entertainment page of "Sing Tao Daily". The title on the front page was very eye-catching - "Happy Ghost" received rave reviews, and the audience was 100% satisfied!

Open the "Business Daily" again, and the headline of the entertainment page is also "Happy Ghost". The article gave a very high evaluation of the film, and said that it is a comedy film suitable for all ages, and there are people who persuade people to be kind, Teach students the positive meaning of correcting shortcomings.

He turned out several newspapers and magazines, and the front page was full of "Happy Ghost", while "Junior Brother Going Out", which beat "Happy Ghost" at the box office, was only mentioned on the secondary page.

"This Lei Juekun is really rich and powerful!" Zou Wenhuai was so angry that he threw the newspaper aside. He had no choice but to start a publicity war with Princess Jin before. He thought the movie would stop after it was released.

The entertainment headlines of more than ten newspapers, how much does it cost to buy it!

Zhao Yazhi's mother, little sister Zhao Yazhen flipped through the newspaper and said, "Fourth sister, the newspaper said "Happy Ghost" is good to watch, why don't we go to the movies to relax."

""Happy Ghost" has already been released?" Zhao Yazhi asked in a daze. It has been half a month since she moved back to her parents' house from the rented house on the radio channel, and she has been dealing with the divorce from her husband.

Huang Hanwei seemed to have an unfinished love for her. He refused to agree to a divorce. In the end, the quarrel relented a little. Zhao Yazhi went to see his son several times, but he didn't even see his son's face. Later, he heard that Huang Hanwei had sent him to his mother-in-law.

The quarrel with her husband's family in the past few days has already made Zhao Yazhi devastated. How can she be free to pay attention to whether "Happy Ghost" is released.

Zhao Yazhen took her sister's hand and said, "Let's go, fourth sister, watch a movie and relax. If you frown all day, you will get sick."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes first." Zhao Yazhi returned to his bedroom and dressed up in front of the mirror. Ever since she was reminded by Kang Jianfei, she has to take into account her image even when she goes out to buy vegetables, and maintains her perfect state at all times.

After Zhao Yazhi finished packing, more than half an hour had passed. As soon as she came out, Zhao Yazhen's eyes lit up with envy, and she said coquettishly, "Fourth Sister, you are so beautiful, teach me how to make up!"

"Okay, I'll teach you after watching the movie." Zhao Yazhi said, but he was a little worried about Kang Jianfei, fearing that his movie's box office would not be good.

The sisters drove to a nearby movie theater of the Golden Princess. They saw a long queue of tickets at the entrance of the movie theater. Zhao Yazhi asked in surprise, "Are these people watching "Happy Ghost"?"

Zhao Yazhen said: "Yes, "Happy Ghost" has been released for several days, but these two days have been very popular. Many of my friends watched it together with the whole family."

The two sisters could only honestly queue up to buy tickets. Zhao Yazhi wore a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and all he heard was the discussion of "Happy Ghost".

"Azhu, is "Happy Ghost" really that good-looking? We finally came out as a family to watch a movie together, why don't we go to see Cheng Long's "Junior Brother Goes to the Horse"."

"Oh, old bean, all my classmates have seen "Happy Ghost", wouldn't it be shameful if I didn't watch it?"

"Sister, I want eight "Happy Ghosts" at seven o'clock."

"Okay, a total of 80 yuan~www.wuxiahere.com~ I'll ask you for 20 yuan, please keep it."

"I bought fourteen tickets for the seven o'clock show of "Happy Ghost"."

"Sorry, the tickets for the 7 o'clock session have been sold out. Do you want the 9 o'clock session?"

"As long as it's a ticket for "Happy Ghost"."

"Hey, did you make a mistake in front of me? I bought more than ten copies by myself, and I bought them all for you."

"I want you to take care of it? How bad is my family!"

"It's sold out. Today, the tickets for "Happy Ghost" are all sold out. There is also a very good-looking martial arts film "Seven Women" at midnight..."

"Cut, who should watch bad martial arts movies. Let's add more scenes, three a day is not enough!"

"Yes, with more screenings, what kind of bad movies are you playing during the daytime? It's better to use it for "Happy Ghost"."

"That's right, it's cheaper to show tickets during the day, and I strongly demand that "Happy Ghost" be shown during the day!"

"..."

The two sisters Zhao Yazhi looked at each other, and they were all lined up at the end of the line. Unexpectedly, the movie tickets were sold out at this time.

"Hmph, luck is really bad!" Zhao Yazhen was so angry that she kicked a can on the ground.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow if it's a big deal." Zhao Yazhi reassured her funnyly, she didn't expect Kang Jianfei's movie to be so popular, she knew from the ticket sales that it was full.

"Happy Ghost" was a big hit at the box office, and Zhao Yazhi also became happy. The depression in his heart for the past few days was swept away, and he thought to himself: I really saw the wrong person, Ah Fei is so talented, he will definitely succeed!
