Full-time actor

Chapter 244 [71] This record cannot be broken by anyone!

"Hello, Jiang Sheng!"

Of course Chen Yu didn't sleep. The Four Seasons Hotel where he was staying happened to have a Broadway theater; he could be said to have witnessed with his own eyes the crowds of people downstairs coming from all directions towards the theater.

I also heard the extremely noisy sound downstairs.

Everything shows that Chen Yu's prediction was not wrong. Hong Kong people who had been locked up at home for less than three months suddenly detonated the whole of Hong Kong under the fuse of the 3:1 concert.

Countless people were afraid to go out before, but now, if there is one, there are two. In addition, there has been no case of SARS in Xiangjiang for three consecutive days. Countless Xiangjiang people who were holding back finally walked out of their homes at this moment.

Especially young people.

And movie theaters can be said to be one of the first places they want to go to for entertainment.

"Yuzai, congratulations!"

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled slightly, and Chen Yu immediately said: "Jiang Sheng, we are all happy!"

"I heard what happened from Qizai. I never thought that this could be done for movie promotion!"

"You have injected new vitality into Xiangjiang!"

"No no!"

Chen Yu hurriedly said modestly: "I just seized the right time and location. Harmony is the spontaneous creation of the people of Xiangjiang!"

“It’s pretty good to be able to capture two of the three!”

At that time, after SARS, I took advantage of the concert.

The geographical advantages are unique to Xiangjiang. If it were inland, it would not necessarily have the same effect.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Zhiqiang hung up the phone.

Of course Chen Yu knew the meaning of the other party's call. His operation this time was considered to be under Jiang Zhiqiang's eyes. If the two were just acquaintances before, at least Chen Yu now occupies some weight in his mind.

Of course, Chen Yu fought for everything himself.

Moreover, the subsequent effects of this incident will be terrifying.

Jiang Zhiqiang just said on the phone that not only the theaters owned by Anle, but also other theaters under their banners such as Emperor, Golden Harvest, etc., all asked Anle for a copy of "The Blind Shaft"!

In a hurry, it was late at night, and the new movie had not been arranged yet, so they could only show this movie temporarily.

If it were an old film, it would probably be scolded by the audience.

The most important thing is that Jiang Zhiqiang also said hello. Anle Distribution is not only available in Anle's theaters, but other theaters as well. If you have money, everyone can make money together. It's just a matter of making more or less.

This is definitely a money grab right now!

Money brought to the doorsteps by citizens.

Therefore, right now, at this point in time, all movie theaters in Hong Kong are showing "The Blind Shaft" without exception!

The box office for the midnight show has also been released.

All 61 theaters in Hong Kong, with 287 screens and 42234 seats, were fully booked.

Without exception!

100% attendance.

What kind of scene is this? I have never seen it in all of Hong Kong.

The key point is that the show that ended at midnight was also completely sold out.

"This box-office record for zero-hour screenings will probably be difficult for any movie to break in the future!"

This record cannot be broken by anyone.

These are Jiang Zhiqiang’s original words.

Even if movie theaters are built in future generations, it is impossible to achieve 100%. It is still difficult to break the record of zero-hour screenings.

Unless we double the number of cinemas, the 50% attendance rate will be broken.

But this is simply impossible.

In fact, Xiangjiang is completely saturated with movie theaters, with 1-2 being added every year at most.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to break this record.

Because the record of "The Blind Shaft" is not due to the quality of the movie itself, but really only to the special period of SARS; just like Chen Yu's "Li Huanying" in his previous life, it was the epidemic + the Spring Festival that created such a box office miracle. .

If it were another time period, it would be considered good if the box office of "Li Huanying" could exceed 10 billion.

But success is success.

"Li Huanying" has become the world's highest-grossing female director at the box office, and she is a layman director who "succeeded" in her first movie.

He also singled out a Golden Rooster Best Actress, the first female lead, and the first actress to be nominated for the Golden Rooster and win the Golden Rooster Award - Zhang Xiaofei.

Can you say they were unsuccessful?

Everyone remembers them, remembers "Li Huanying", and remembers Jia Ling. There is bound to be a market for the new film when it is released.

Once they are popular, they are popular. Few people care about how they become popular.

The same goes for Chen Yu now.

He is destined to be an actor who will go down in Hong Kong film history, and he is also a mainland actor.

The current box office record for zero-hour box office in Hong Kong was set by Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" in 01, with 98 Hong Kong dollars, almost breaking 100 million!

As for Chen Yu's "Blind Shaft", Jiang Zhiqiang had just told him about it.

The box office for the zero-hour show was 141 million, Hong Kong dollars.

Is Chen Yu more awesome than Zhou Xingchi?

of course not.

But no one would compare like this. Just like Jiang Zhiqiang took the initiative to call Chen Yu. After this gust of wind passes, everyone will only remember that Chen Yu broke Xingye's record; Chen Yu created a 100% attendance at zero-point games. The miracle of efficiency.

He created 525 miracle nights!

This is the result.

There is no process, and no one cares about the process, there is only the final number.

The media will only announce who broke Xingye's record.

It is exactly the same as "Li Huanying" in the previous life; except that one is in the mainland and the other is in Xiangjiang.

Moreover, the zero-point scene of "The Blind Shaft" is just the beginning.

No one knows what direction and trend this film will take next.

Because it has exceeded market expectations, no one can calculate how much the box office will ultimately be.

……

"Chen Yu estimates that he will become the second most popular mainland actor in Hong Kong!"

Jiang Zhiqiang still didn't fall asleep after hanging up the phone.

It can be said that he has personally experienced the most prosperous 50 years of Hong Kong movies. Of course, he also knows very well how difficult it is for a mainlander to make it in this place. As powerful as Jet Li, he has never topped the box office in Hong Kong.

It can be said that he is the only mainland star who came to Hong Kong to become famous.

Apart from him, there is no other person; but Jet Li's box office appeal is still very poor.

His most popular movie, "The Swordsman: The Invincible", only had a box office of over 3000 million, but to be honest, Jet Li did not have much credit for this movie, and it was Brigitte Lin.

His highlight was the "Once Upon a Time" series, with the combined total of the four films barely exceeding 4 million.

Xiangjiang is a very exclusive city, and of course the mainland is similar in the future; the box office of mainland movies in Hong Kong is not very good, and only a few movies with Hong Kong stars may be able to win good box office.

But every year, there are always a few movies that top the box office of the year, and without exception, they must be the works of director Xiang Jiang.

Later it was changed to Hollywood.

Xing Ye is one of the only directors who can compete with them.

After 2010 in the Mainland, Xiangjiang movies have also gradually declined. First, they are all about the undercover shootout routine; second, their box office appeal is really poor!

Therefore, Chen Yu's current move is definitely an unexpected way to become famous.

As long as Xiangjiang Movies is still around, he will be a character who must be mentioned; because it cannot be avoided.

Over time, wouldn't this become famous in Xiangjiang?

"The second person after Li Lianjie?"

Jiang Zhiqiang murmured there that Jet Li's movies were all handled by An Le before, so of course Jiang Zhiqiang knew this actor very well.

Apart from him, it seems that no one from the mainland can make it through.

But now, maybe... the second one will be born.

And he became famous overnight.

"I wonder, can "Blind Shaft" break Xingye's record?"

Jiang Zhiqiang is looking forward to it.

His luck has always been good. Anle has never acted for a box office hit film, but now, there may be an opportunity.

The current box office record in Hong Kong was also set by Xingye's "Shaoge Football" released in 01.

The box office was HK$6073 million.

In second place is Cheng Long's "Police Story 1999: Simple Mission" released in 4, with 5751 million!

The third one is also him.

Of course, the title of "Double Monday" is not just called casually. That is because among the top ten box office movies in Hong Kong's history, Cheng Long has 4 movies and Star Master has 4 movies. The other two movies were originally produced by Zhou Yunfa.

However, a dark horse came out last year - "Infernal Affairs", which managed to break into the top ten of the overall list, taking in 5505 million at the box office, ranking fifth.

Needless to say, this year's annual box office in Hong Kong was won by "Lucky Man," released in January, with a total box office of HK$1 million. It shouldn't be a big problem if "The Blind Shaft" failed.

After all, the total of these shows in the early morning has exceeded 400 million, and the box office during the day tomorrow will be almost sold out.

Other movies will not be released until the day after tomorrow at the earliest.

As for Anle, "The Blind Shaft" will definitely be released first; the film schedule will definitely be full.

"Twenty million shouldn't be a problem, any higher...it will be difficult!"

This is due to the inherent limitations of movies. Firstly, it is a mainland movie, secondly, it is an art film, and thirdly... I don’t know any of the leading actors.

The only two highlights are the nomination for the Berlin Golden Bear and the two Silver Bears for Best Actor and Outstanding Artistic Achievement.

The people of Xiangjiang still appreciate this grand prize.

Therefore, "The Blind Shaft" has only this selling point.

"It depends on the day after tomorrow!"

The day after tomorrow is Monday.

Jiang Zhiqiang flipped through the calendar. At this time, he felt a little sleepy. He yawned and then walked onto the bed.

This night in Xiangjiang that is destined to go down in history came to an end in this madness.

Chen Yu also went to bed at around 2 o'clock.

***

Early the next morning, all the citizens in Xiangjiang walked out of their homes as if they had been reborn.

Some went to buy groceries, some went shopping, but many older generation Hong Kong residents went to buy newspapers.

When they came to the newsstand, they found that the headlines of countless newspapers and periodicals published every day all contained the same content.

【525 Miracle Night! 】

【SARS is over! 】

[We have been waiting for this moment for a long time! 】

【Xiangjiang is resurrected! 】

……

In addition to reporting on the end of the SARS epidemic, the most obvious one was undoubtedly the 1:99 concert; but many people watched this concert at home.

And besides that, Miracle Night is the main thing.

Last night, more than 20 young people in Hong Kong ran out of their homes, and many of them queued up to watch a mainland movie.

This is something that many Hong Kong people have never expected.

"The Blind Shaft", countless people remember the name of this movie.

At this time, Chen Yu was still asleep. He had no idea that the entire Xiangjiang film industry was in complete turmoil because of him.

Because of this big move in the early morning, Chen Yu's battle became too big.

Many people in the film industry are still sleeping in the early hours of the morning. When they wake up, don't they know everything?

The key thing, what makes many people tremble is that before the morning is over, the box office of "Blind Shaft" is said to have exceeded 10 million?

This evil news is spreading through many channels.

Is there such a movie in Hong Kong’s film history?

Breaking ten million in half a day?

Master Xing can't even do this!

But a movie with no reputation at all from the mainland actually did it.

How could this not shock the Hong Kong film industry?

Drop drop-

Chen Yu, who had just turned on his phone when he woke up at noon, was completely awakened by countless text messages and missed calls.

"what's going on?"

Chen Yu rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the messages on his phone.
