Affected by the theater chains, everyone is pessimistic about this year's box office revenue. This does not mean that the box office will be very low, but it will be lower than if the film were shown in all theaters.
Du Qifeng has never complained to Wu Changyun. The most important thing for the company now is that all employees are united.
The movie based on Shawshank Redemption is called "All Is Yours" after the adaptation.
This name was thought up by everyone together. We have all read the script and everyone has a different understanding of it.
But there is no doubt that everyone’s biggest takeaway from the movie is that no matter what the circumstances, life will be equally wonderful as long as you don’t give up on your own initiative.
"Everything is by Your Side" was subject to market scrutiny before "The Handmaiden".
Miss will be officially launched in three days. This year, Wu Changyun has put a lot of effort into promotion, which he had left to Du Qifeng in previous years.
Nowadays, theaters basically rotate movies from several companies. Judging from the current response, Drunken Master is still the number one.
Chen Gangsheng has been very happy recently. Of course, the happiest person is Wu Siyuan. The Chen Gangsheng he borrowed from Luo Wei has become his treasure.
But they were not happy for two days before Sam Hui took off with his movie "The Contract".
The speed of its take-off was like riding a rocket. At one point, one had to queue up for an entire night to get a ticket. Just imagine how terrifying this movie must be to make audiences queue up in the early morning on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Everything Is By Your Side" is mostly literary drama and is a plot-oriented film, so it is not at an advantage to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.
Du Qifeng has been very depressed about this matter recently. We agreed to overcome the difficulties together, but the film he shot has already failed on the battlefield.
Wu Changyun didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but Du Qifeng's self-blame made him feel a little embarrassed.
After all, the script of the movie was his, he selected the actors, and Du Qifeng was only responsible for the filming.
Is it possible that this year, Wu Changyun will lose his three consecutive championships at the box office?
Everyone in the company was sweating, after all, this was the company's greatest honor.
It wasn't until the third day after The Contract was released that tickets for The Handmaiden started selling.
After several rounds of hype, audiences are now attracted by the film. It is said that the film will have some sexy scenes between Brigitte Lin and Hong Kong beauty pageant winner Zhao Yazhi. The poster this time is also more eye-catching, with Brigitte Lin showing a hint of her shoulders and leaning on Zhao Yazhi's back.
Although Zhao Yazhi only ranked fourth in the Miss Hong Kong pageant held by TVB, she was not inferior to the first place in terms of fame and public attention.
"The Handmaiden" is Zhao Yazhi's debut work, and it is also a work that highlights the emotions between women. This topic may become a hot topic.
Wu Changyun had this premonition a long time ago, so he rushed to the Pearl River Cinema Line to check it out on the first day of sales.
In the early morning, breathing the light fishy air by the river, young and old men lined up in a long queue at the entrance of the cinema. Wu Changyun stepped back dozens of meters from the entrance of the cinema and could still see fans looking forward anxiously.
"The Handmaiden" has been receiving great success. After breaking through the 6 million box office mark, people began to have high hopes for this masterpiece, perhaps surpassing Xu Guanwen's 7 million box office record.
Xu Guanwen and Wu Changyun feel the same way. This year is the year when he has the best chance of making a comeback.
Since "Everything Is By Your Side" stopped at the box office of 5 million at the beginning and could not even be considered as his rival, Xu Guanwen kept his eyes on Wu Siyuan's "Drunken Master".
Then "Drunken Master" was also stuck at 6.76 million box office, while his "The Contract" reached 7.82 million box office, crushing the second place by more than one million.
Just when Xu Guanwen felt that he could relax a little, he learned that "The Handmaiden" had become the biggest dark horse of the year.
It was just a film that took only one month to make, and did not use Du Qifeng and Zhou Runfa. Qi Ji Film Company put the most popular "two kings" into the movie "Everything is By Your Side". Can they create another all-out work?
Is this something that can be driven out by humans? Xu Guanwen calmed down and thought carefully. Isn't Wu Changyun a versatile person?
The original hidden boss was Wu Changyun, but in recent years he gradually handed over the filming to Du Qifeng, which led to his neglect.
A masterpiece with a box office of 8 million!!!
On the last day before "The Handmaiden" was about to be released, the box office exceeded 8 million.
Upon hearing the news, Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia hugged each other and cried with excitement.
There has always been a difficult hurdle in the hearts of the two women. They made great sacrifices in this film, especially Zhao Yazhi, who had a "strip scene" in her debut film.
She couldn't help but bear the pressure from the media, and her family.
Both Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia were born in relatively good family environments. Lin Qingxia was more supportive of her family, while Zhao Yazhi was a natural idealist.
Her mother is very supportive of Zhao Yazhi's career, but her father's attitude towards his daughter's acting career will depend on the response to her first film.
Zhao Yazhi was also afraid of being labeled a "stripper star". In the 1970s, both the audience and the actors were not yet mature enough to accept such things.
Having once again topped the box office, Wu Changyun knew that he now had the opportunity to formally negotiate with Golden Harvest.
This time I met He Guanchang again in a restaurant.
"Cough cough cough."
When He Guanchang saw Wu Changyun walking in with a serious expression, he thought that he was a senior after all, but the other party didn't even say hello. He could only cough a few times awkwardly.
The two of them sat opposite each other at a round table with a few bowls of tea on it.
"Congratulations, Boss Wu, for being able to sit in front of me again."
"Oh, you think too highly of yourself."
It's already this late, and the old guy is still showing off. In the film and television industry, box office means everything.
If actors want to make a name for themselves, they will look for actors with box office appeal. If companies want to endorse their products, they will also look for the most popular stars at the moment. The box office is not just a result, it is really everything.
The reason why Golden Harvest forced Shaw Brothers to gradually transform was because of the box office. Although the number of films produced by Golden Harvest each year was not as many as that of Shaw Brothers, the number of high-quality films far exceeded that of Shaw Brothers.
In recent years, Shaw Brothers' films have rarely appeared in the top ten.
"It's really a matter of time. According to the agreement, I should let you go..."
Before He Guanchang could finish his words, Wu Changyun interrupted him.
"You must have some misunderstanding. I'm not trying to prove anything to you, and you're not the manager of this industry. I want cinemas, and many companies are willing to hand over their cinemas to me."
"You don't have to give it to me. I'll buy it from another company. Then we can continue to fight and see who falls first."
Wu Changyun's trip was not just for He Guanchang's approval. He planned to acquire the cinema chain from Golden Harvest, which was Wu Changyun's real purpose.
