Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 591 The Gap
Compared with Wang Jing's "Unlucky Gambler", Zeng Zhiwei's "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" obviously received more support for filming.

After acquiring Shaw Cinemas, Bao Shaogang continued to increase his bet and bought four new theaters.

At this time, the total number of theaters in Baojia Cinemas has reached forty, which is twice as fast as that of New Oriental Cinemas.

In order to completely defeat Lin Daoqiu, Bao Shaogang can be said to have done enough publicity for "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers".

He spent millions of dollars on advertising, and newspapers and magazines all over Xiangjiang, as well as radio and TV stations, have been taking turns to advertise.

Including the number of theaters of Baojia Cinemas, it is more than Lin Daoqiu's New Oriental.

This time, Bao Shaogang believes that "Brother Wolf and Tiger" will definitely be able to crush "Unlucky Gambler".

At the same time that "Unlucky Gambler" was released, Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian also brought the crew to attend the premiere of "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers".

When asked by a reporter, this time he was fighting against "The Bad Luck Gambler".

Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian looked very modest.

"This is our first film in Baojia Cinemas. It's just getting started. I don't dare to have too many extravagant expectations. I only hope that the audience will support it."

Although they have switched to Bao Shaogang, Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian were both from New Oriental before.

Even Bao Shaogang and Lin Daoqiu, the two of them were already fighting to the death in secret.

But on the bright side, it's impossible for these wage earners to just go off the court and criticize each other.

How can I say that Lin Daoqiu was also their former boss. There is a saying that they stay on the front line today and meet each other in the future.

Although both Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian thought so, whether Lin Daoqiu thought the same as them or not is a matter of opinion.

The next day, when the box office results of "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" were released, they were delivered to Bao Shaogang's table immediately.

Forty theaters got a box office of 230 million on the first day. From this point of view, it must be no problem for this "Wolf Brothers and Tigers" to break [-] million.

"Congratulations to Bao Shao, it's only a matter of time before our "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" breaks 2000 million, even [-] million is possible."

Liao Wenxiang looked at Bao Shaogang obsequiously. He was very optimistic about the box office performance of the movie "Brothers and Tigers".

However, Shi Wenyan on the side was expressionless.

"What do you think?"

Bao Shaogang obviously didn't take Liao Wenxiang's opinion to heart at all, he simply turned his head and asked about Shi Wenyan.

"The box office results of the first day of "Brothers and Tigers" were not bad, but due to the relationship between Baojia's full release, the highest attendance rate was only [-]%, and most of the rest hovered around [-]%..."

Just looking at the box office performance of "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" on the first day, it seems to be pretty good.

But if you look a little deeper, you will find that the attendance rate of this show is very different from those of those big hit movies.

At least in terms of celebrity appeal, Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian are far inferior to Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung.

"Is there any way to increase attendance?"

Bao Shaogang immediately understood the meaning of Shi Wenyan's words.

If the attendance rate of a play has been unable to increase, then the number of shows will definitely be reduced.

However, because Baojia Cinemas is in charge of Bao Shaogang, he can completely ignore the attendance rate of "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" and force this movie to maintain its full-line release.

"Newspapers, magazines, TV stations and radio stations have already done all the advertisements and publicity that can be done. If the attendance rate cannot be improved within five days, I suggest reducing the number of shows."

Shi Wenyan gave her own professional opinion. After all, the drama "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" has no dazzling stars, and there is nothing particularly attractive about it.

The combination of Zeng Zhiwei and Shi Tian can only be regarded as an average level in the Xiangjiang film circle at this time.

If Bao Shaogang wanted to forcibly lift them up, I'm afraid the gain would outweigh the loss in the end.

"Liao Wenxiang, I'll give you a month, and the people from New Oriental will dig it for me. No matter who it is, as long as they are sure to come to Baojia, the signing bonus will be doubled."

Bao Shaogang has already realized that he does not have any superstars in his hands, so it is difficult to win Lin Daoqiu.

Although relying on the number of theaters of Baojia Cinemas, it will not lose to the other party.

But if Lin Daoqiu makes any big moves at that time, I am afraid that the box office performance will surpass Baojia Cinemas, which is not what Bao Shaogang wants to see.

"Understood Baoshao, I have been in contact with some directors and actors during this time, I believe that good news will come soon."

When Liao Wenxiang went to dig Hong Jinbao, he accidentally offended him, and was scolded by Bao Shaogang afterwards.

This time, he changed his mind and asked Shi Wenyan for advice. It can be said that he was fully prepared at this time.

"Ah Xiang, if you can't do this well this time, then Baojia doesn't need your help."

Bao Shaogang's words startled Liao Wenxiang a lot, because he knew very well that Bao Shaogang was definitely a person who could do what he said.

Liao Wenxiang nodded again and again, and he was already thinking about speeding up the pace and not procrastinating like this.

…………

"The box office of "Unlucky Gambler" yesterday is here, please take a look."

Not long after the box office results of "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" came out, the box office results of "Bad Luck Gambler" were also released.

"It looks pretty good."

According to the records in Lin Daoqiu's hand, yesterday's "Bad Luck Gambler" had a box office of 150 million.

And he also heard just now that "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" got a box office of 230 million, and they lost a full 80 on the first day.

Li Maowen was a little worried. After all, the gap between the two dramas was 80 on the first day. I am afraid that they will only lose more and more in the future.

"Don't look at me like that. My expectations for "Unlucky Gambler" are actually not high. I'm already very satisfied if this drama can break through [-] million."

After Lin Daoqiu put down the document in his hand, he looked at Li Maowen with a smile.

The lineup of the movie "Unlucky Gambler" is actually not very good. The combination of Fu Sheng and Xie Xian has not very limited appeal to the box office.

As for the heroine Zhong Chuhong and the supporting role Guan Zhilin, the two of them have no appeal at all.

Under such circumstances, Lin Daoqiu is still satisfied that "Bad Luck Gambler" can break through tens of millions of box office.

"Tell Wang Jing, if "Unlucky Gambler" can break [-] million, I will give him a celebration party."

I don't want to put too much pressure on Wang Jing, after all this drama is just Lin Daoqiu's experiment.

As for losing to Bao Shaogang this time, that is also reasonable, no matter what, the opponent also has twice as many theaters as himself.

Moreover, the movie "Wolf Brothers and Tiger Brothers" is not a bad movie, if you lose, you lose, and you can just find a way to win it back later.
