If you're watching it at night, it's best to bring a boyfriend, girlfriend, or companion. I'm afraid you might be afraid to leave after watching the movie alone. Stay tuned on March 1st." Zhang Qiurui is promoting "Mr. Vampire" relentlessly.
The interview lasted for two hours. After the interview, Zhang Qiurui and the others rushed to ATV Radio to record a program, and then went to Ming Pao for an interview.
........。
"Boss, the box office of the movie "Love" was 350,000 yesterday." On this day, Chen Jiaying reported to Zhang Qiurui the box office of the movie on the first day of its release.
"Is the box office very impressive?" Zhang Qiurui speculated when she saw Chen Jiaying's happy face.
Zhang Qiurui was not familiar with Hong Kong's box office market. He didn't know whether the box office of 350,000 on the first day was high or low.
"Boss, this is a very good box office. The highest daily box office in Hong Kong right now is 670,000. Generally speaking, the daily box office is 200,000. This movie can sell for more than 2 million. It won't lose money, and there will be some profit.
The box office share in Hong Kong is also somewhat different from that in the mainland.
Golden Harvest signed a contract with cinemas for four major periods (Spring Festival, Easter, summer vacation, and Christmas), with 60% of the box office revenue in the first week going to the film company and 40% going to the cinema.
There will be 5 screenings per day, and the film company will bear the costs of copying and publicity.
The 4:00 p.m. show and the midnight show will share the profit at 5:50. If the film continues to be shown, it will be 5:50 in the second week, and 4% for the film company and 6% for the theater in the third week.
For other film companies, the profit sharing ratio is generally 46%, and the better ones are 55." Chen Jiaying knew that Zhang Qiurui came from the mainland and didn't know the profit sharing ratio of Xiangjiang Cinema, so she patiently explained it to her.
After listening to this, Zhang Qiurui nodded and gained a preliminary understanding of the Hong Kong film market.
"In this case, the movie can maximize profits if it is released during the Spring Festival, Easter, summer vacation, and Christmas." Zhang Qiurui said thoughtfully.
"You can say that. Boss Golden Harvest is having a celebration banquet tomorrow at 7pm at the Regent Hotel." Chen Jiaying continued to report on tomorrow's work schedule.
"What celebration banquet?" Zhang Qiurui asked with a frown.
Earlier, after the movie "Love" won an award in Berlin, the copyright sold well. When he came back, Zou Wenhuai wanted to hold a celebration party for himself, but was rejected by Zhang Qiurui.
Why is it mentioned again now?
"The movie 'Young Master' directed by Cheng Long was a huge hit. It has grossed over 10 million yuan in just over 20 days.
This is the first time that a Hong Kong film has broken the 10 million box office record, which is definitely a major event worth celebrating.
By then, it won't just be you, Golden Harvest, and On Lok who will be attending the celebration banquet. The CEOs of Shaw Brothers, TVB, ATV, and other smaller companies will also be there," Chan Kar-ying explained.
"Cheng Long has made great contributions to the success of 'Young Master'. His kung fu comedies are indeed unique and deeply loved by the audience. It seems that I can't refuse this celebration banquet." Zhang Qiurui heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
If "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" and "Drunken Master" are Jackie Chan's famous works, "Young Master" established his status in Hong Kong and showcased Jackie Chan's unique comedy kung fu style.
The next night, Zhang Qiurui wore a white suit, a pair of silver high-heeled shoes, her hair was cut to her face length, and her lips were painted with red lipstick.
The whole person looks neat, tidy, bright and radiant, like a queen.
She stepped into the lobby of the Regent Hotel on time, and was greeted by the hotel's unique atmosphere of luxury and bustle.
In the lobby, bright lights and soft music interweave to create a peaceful yet elegant atmosphere. Elites from various film industries have arrived one after another, greeting each other or whispering to each other, and the air is filled with a subtle excitement and anticipation.
As you step into the banquet hall, you will see it decorated magnificently. A variety of exquisite delicacies and fine wines are placed on the long table, and the dazzling chandeliers make everything shine.
"Director Zhang is here."
When Zhang Qiurui entered the banquet hall, he immediately saw Jiang Zhiqiang, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Liang Feng from the central government, as well as Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao and two or three unfamiliar people.
"Director Zhang, OK."
"Director Zhang, OK."
"Director Zhang."
As they walked towards Jiang Zhiqiang and the others, the actors on both sides greeted Zhang Qiurui warmly and respectfully, with looks of amazement flashing across their faces when they looked at Zhang Qiurui.
Zhang Qiurui smiled and nodded in response to everyone's greetings.
"Director Zhang, you're here. Let me introduce you to a few people.
This is Shaw Brothers' CEO, Shaw Yat-fu, and this is ATV's CEO, Qiu Degen. Zou Wenhuai came forward with a warm smile on his face. He introduced the two important figures beside him and led Zhang Qiurui towards them.
"Mr. Shao and Mr. Qiu have long heard of your great names. It is a great honor to meet you today." Zhang Qiurui quickly extended his hand and shook hands with Shao Yifu and the other two first.
Seeing these Hong Kong film company giants, Zhang Qiurui wondered what was going on. A thought flashed through her mind, as if she had come up with something.
There is one thing that may be brought forward...
"I have long admired Director Zhang's name. He is the first Chinese to win Best Director at both Berlin and Cannes, and the first in Asia.
Director Zhang, if there's a chance we can work together, there are quite a few actors from Shaw Brothers and TVB, and you can choose any of them, even for free." Shao Yifu shook Zhang Qiurui's hand, his eyes twinkling slightly.
He tried to poach Jiang Zhiqiang and Zou Wenhuai's employees in front of them.
"Director Zhang, we have quite a few actors in ATV, and they can all be selected by Director Zhang and star in his movies for free." Qiu Degen also followed.
