Chapter 783 Premiere
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, welcoming the God of Wealth.
It's a good sign.
The prerequisite for most of us to believe in God is that this God is useful. As the saying goes: I sneer at feudal superstitions, and I can't kneel up in front of the Temple of Wealth!
After breakfast, Chen Qi came to Zhongshan Memorial Hall. What he heard and saw this day was different from the north. Many people met on the road, and sometimes they would say politely "congratulations on getting rich".
He didn't spend much time in Guangdong in his previous life, so he just thought it was a traveler and thought the noodles were delicious. Then the locals called them "boss" or "handsome guy" to everyone, which made him happy to hear.
The performance hall was empty, and a few stars came over to do the last rehearsal, and it started on time at 3:00 pm.
Not long after, Ling Mei came and took a stack of information.
"What's this?"
"I looked for it in the film company. These people are all donkeys. They will only move forward with a whip, otherwise they will not move. I don't know how to show us such important things."
After Ling Mei took office, some changes occurred unknowingly, and her words and affairs became much harder, as if she was establishing a sense of majesty.
Chen Qi took it and saw that it was the single film data released in Guangdong Province in recent years.
"Wudang", 35mm copies of moviegoers, 11 million copies, 1.05 million distribution revenue, and an estimated box office of 2.22 million.
"The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", 35mm copies of moviegoers 14.63 million, release income of 1.35 million, and the box office is estimated to be 2.93 million.
"Tai Chi", 35mm copy viewers 27.56 million, distribution revenue of 2.17 million, and box office estimated at 5.51 million.
I have written a lot in detail, and the box office statistics these days are estimated and not detailed. The official only counts the number of viewers and distribution income, from tens of millions to millions, to hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousands.
The number one is "Tai Chi", with nearly 30 million viewers.
(This is based on the official data of "Shaolin Temple")
But why is the box office so small? Because the ticket price is cheap, generally 20 cents, the cheapest one is 10 cents, and the expensive one is 30 cents...
"How is it? Is the potential huge?"
Ling Mei was a little excited and said: "The number of people in Guangdong Province is more than 50 million, and the number of viewers in "Police Story" has reached 5 million, which is 10 million box office!"
“The ticket price is different!”
"I know I know! Two dollars are more expensive, but they are not so expensive that people are reluctant to spend it. Especially young people in Guangdong Province, it is best to pursue fashion and worship Hong Kong culture. For the New Year, they are asked to pay two dollars to make a trend. I think many people are willing to do it."
“…”
Chen Qi looked at the other party in surprise and smiled: "Sister, you have a good idea!"
"What's the idea?"
"The idea of promotion and promotion! Don't treat it as a movie, but a popular culture. Whoever doesn't watch it will be a rustic person. With this kind of thinking, you will definitely be able to do a good job of promotion and promotion."
"Oh, then I'm the first to see the path?"
"Don't dare, we learn from each other."
He was chatting and quarrel, and several celebrities came, and he didn't mention all the rehearsals.
In fact, Chen Qi is also confident in "Police Story". In addition to its own quality, the biggest factor is ticket price! From the 1980s to the 1920s, global box office increased, and everyone was talking about industry, technology, IP, and globalization. It is often ignoring price is also a key element.
Ticket prices are something hidden behind the movie market. When the audience does not discuss ticket prices but only discusses the quality of the movie, it means that the market is still saved.
When the audience starts discussing ticket prices, it means the market is scrapped.
…………
Last year, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Guangzhou reached 1,100 yuan, breaking the 1,000 yuan mark for the first time.
Ranked among the top in the country.
This is a frontier position for the reform and opening up. If you don’t make money, then will it be a waste of the frontier? This is also a distribution center for popular items across the country. The defensive masters from all over the world gather here, making electronic watches, color TVs, jeans, tapes, fabrics, dragons, tigers and leopards, etc.
The population itself is large, and the large number of migrant population makes Guangzhou also appear a complicated and noisy during the Chinese New Year.
Lin Junlong is a fifteen-year-old handsome boy.
Both of his parents are in state-owned units and have no worries about food and clothing. He is at the age of pursuing popularity. He became a loyal fan because he watched a videotape of Cheng Long's "Plan A" at his classmate's home.
Today's premiere was only after he begged all his parents to agree to bring him to watch it.
Standing outside the memorial hall was lined up, everyone was shocked. Are there so many people?
"What's so good about a big nose? Five dollars is not money. How many days are there to live?"
"I've come here, so I'll say a few words!"
"I can't say it after spending money? I watched a movie for five dollars. He thought it was Ken Takakura or Alandron?"
Ken Takakura's "Chasing" and Alandron's "Zorro" have both caused huge responses in the country.
Lin Junlong listened to his mother and father complaining, and dared not speak out, thinking he didn't know? His mother secretly liked Alan Tam, and his father secretly liked Chen Huixian, otherwise he would bring him here?
I entered the venue and found a seat. There was no arrangement in the hall, just waiting.
The buzzing mess was buzzing, and I sat for 80% or more. After waiting for about twenty minutes, I suddenly became quiet because a fashionable and beautiful female host appeared.
"Wow, Hou Yuting!"
"She is here to host it? The show is big enough!"
Hou Yuting is from Beijing and was admitted to Guangdong TV Station. She is a representative host of Lingnan.
Zhou Qun, whose status is equivalent to Anhui Taiwan, Fang Qiong, Hebei Taiwan, Dabing, Shandong Taiwan, He Jiong, Hunan Taiwan...
CCTV specially invited her to host the 6th National Games and the 11th Asian Games. She tried to transfer her to Beijing several times, but she didn't go there. Later, she was rumored to have an affair with Huo Zhenting, and due to this, she retired and married.
"Good afternoon everyone!"
Hou Yuting said the opening paragraph, briefly introduced today's content, and will be on the show immediately.
Alan Tam, Chen Huixian, Fei Xiang and Zhang Qiang sang a song each, mainly talking about their feelings when they came to Guangzhou. The four of them are all red singers, basically covering all types of audiences, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
"This is gone? Sing another song!"
"One person, one song!"
"Then let's go, I'll finish listening to the song anyway."
Lin Junlong said speechlessly, "Dad! The three of us are fifteen yuan!"
"Oh yes! Then I have to sit until the end. Let me see what kind of movie is so expensive?"
Neither Cheng Long nor Anita Mui came out because when the movie ended, the starring actor suddenly appeared in the mood and the effect was the best. The whole audience was dim and the big screen lit up.
There is no burden at the beginning, and the words on the black background appear:
Cheng Long!
"Police Story"!
After that, enter the plot immediately.
A arrest operation is being arranged in the police station, and the villain and the protagonist Chen Jiaju are brought out neatly. As soon as the camera turns, it has arrived at the shanty town, and wooden houses are placed on the hillside like irregular building blocks.
There was a thrilling scene at the beginning.
Chasing and running, two cars rushed into the shanty town from the hillside. These wooden houses were built by the crew, and the landscaping cost 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, large panoramic view, front panoramic view, first view inside the car... More than a dozen cameras were filmed at the same time, and they passed by once!
I saw the car go down the hillside, and the houses collapsed wherever I went, and people were on their backs and horses were overturned. The firelight generated by the explosion was enough to give the audience the strongest sensory stimulation in this era.
This scene is too classic and was later paid tribute to many directors, such as Michael Bay's "Jedi Men 2", which has several storyboards that are just as slap.
From the first shot of this scene, the audience's breathing seemed to pause, staring at the big screen in a daze. When they saw the two cars rushing down the hillside, the sound of "hiss" and "hiss" sounds came out one after another.
This is not over yet!
The villain abandoned the car and continued to run away, and happened to get on a public bus. Cheng Long chased after him with an umbrella, hooked the bus window with an umbrella, hung his body outside, and flew into the air when he turned...
Large panoramic view.
Not a dummy or a substitute, all viewers can see this guy playing hard.
“Wow…Damn!”
"strong enough!"
The young handsome guys finally exuded fragrance and were suddenly conquered.
Not to mention Guangdong Province, not to mention domestic, there have never been such scenes in action movies around the world. Only in this period, do we dare to say that there is a genre of Chinese movies - action/kung fu, which is the best in the world.
Chapter completed!
