Chapter 245 [72] The final Hong Kong box office of "Blind Shaft"!

"Jiang Sheng, as of 13:45 now, there have been a total of 8 screenings in theaters in Hong Kong, with a total box office of 1121 million!"

"The pre-sale box office has also exceeded 2000 million!"

"..."

Listening to Wu Qida's report on the other end of the phone, even though Jiang Zhiqiang had psychological expectations in his heart, he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

Pre-sales exceeded 2000 million, and it didn’t arrive even in a day. Is this such an exaggeration?

In half a day, the total box office exceeded 10 million. What kind of record-breaking speed is this?

When you meet Mr. Xing, you have to walk around!

Currently in Hong Kong, only Xingye's "Shaolin Soccer" has achieved a box office record of over 10 million on the first day, but it only lasted for one day.

"Blind Shaft" only took half a day.

"Another box office record that cannot be broken at all!"

Jiang Zhiqiang shook his head and smiled.

How to break?

The attendance rate is 3% at 5 a.m. and 100 a.m. Which movie can do this?

"Are there any new movies released in other theaters?"

Jiang Zhiqiang asked, and if nothing else happened, the theaters at Emperor and Golden Harvest would definitely release their own new movies.

After all, their own movies are much more profitable than "The Blind Shaft".

Now everyone in Hong Kong knows that movie watching must have completely recovered, and it is a vindictive consumption; if not now, when will it be better?

"Tomorrow the Emperor will have "Xin Zha Junior Sisters 2", and there will also be a "Two Heroes"!"

"Jiahe should be there too!"

"Should we follow up first?"

Wu Qida asked, Jiang Zhiqiang thought about it, and finally felt that he should trust Chen Yu.

Because it was him who brought "The Blind Shaft" to a level it didn't belong to.

"We can arrange a few shows tomorrow, but the main prime time show will be for "The Blind Shaft"!"

The main pre-sale box office is here.

Many viewers who did not buy tickets today must want to buy tickets tomorrow.

Right now, isn't there still only one "Blind Shaft"?

"Well, it depends on attendance, right?"

"Well, let's see the attendance tomorrow!"

There is no big problem today. "Blind Shaft" may break 2000 million, but the key is tomorrow.

If there is no box office tomorrow, "The Blind Shaft" probably won't make much of a splash; but if there are still people buying it, it means there is still a market for this movie.

……

On the other side, Chen Yu received a call from Mei Yanfang.

Of course she knew about the popularity of "The Blind Shaft" right away, so she wanted to treat Chen Yu to a casual dinner and introduce him to a few friends from the entertainment industry.

Many people are now full of curiosity about Chen Yu.

One morning, many people in Xiangjiang learned about Chen Yu's operation last night.

After all, many of them are celebrities present at the 1:99 concert. Mei Yanfang said that when new movies are released in the cinema, they are all present.

If you think about it for a moment, you will know what it is like.

Therefore, many people want to see who the "protagonist" who created the 525 Miracle Night in Xiangjiang is. Although many people had seen Chen Yu during the rehearsal the day before yesterday, they only had a quick glance at it. He only said hello.

We didn’t even have time to communicate and get to know each other in depth.

This is the influence of Chen Yu's box office miracle.

The day before yesterday, he was an unknown stranger to the whole of Xiangjiang; now, ordinary people may not know it, but everyone in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry knows about Chen Yu almost in the morning.

The main reason is that the circle in Xiangjiang is really too small.

"Okay, I will be there on time tonight!"

Chen Yu took a deep breath and smiled a little.

Chen Yu is very clear about how miserable mainland celebrities are in Hong Kong. If we don't talk about Jet Li, let's talk about Wolf Warrior Wu Jing. Is he skilled enough? The acting skills are also good, and the looks are okay.

Finally?

After working in Hong Kong for ten years, I played only marginal roles. In the end, I returned to the mainland in despair and relied on "Leng Feng" to rise to the top.

How do you say that?

Gold will always shine. Fa, your sister, is always covered by things. How do you shine and how do you get discovered?

To put it bluntly, this circle is very exclusive if you don’t name it.

To strike iron, you have to be tough yourself.

Now Chen Yu is different; even if he is now in Xiangjiang, he will definitely be better than Wu Jing, because his current starting point is here, and his influence and reputation will definitely increase greatly in Xiangjiang.

Of course, Chen Yu has no plans to hang out in Xiangjiang.

He came to Xiangjiang now just for "The Blind Well". He will return to the Imperial Capital tomorrow.

The epidemic in the mainland has also begun to slowly end. Xingye's "Kung Fu" will be launched soon, and Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" will be released in September. Chen Yu still has a lot of things waiting for him to do when he returns. He can I don’t have time to stay in Hong Kong for a long time.

He came here just to do some tricks, get some money to sign a contract, and thank Mei Yanfang in person.

That's it.

But now Mei Yanfang is playing the game and letting him get to know more of these movie stars in Xiangjiang, that is also good; after all, they are in a circle, and they can meet each other without looking up. If they build a good relationship, they may cooperate in the future. There is no need to make it so rigid. .

Chen Yu's purpose is to mix in this circle and try not to offend other people, so he won't offend.

Networking is still key.

After sorting out his clothes, Chen Yu planned to buy a gift for Liu Yifei before attending the banquet. After all, it would be a bad idea to come to Xiangjiang and return empty-handed.

"Aunt Liu, buy it too!"

"Then my parents must buy it too?"

When he thought about it, Chen Yu's head got big, and in the end, his aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. all bought one set.

Anyway, he is indeed not short of money now.

……

At night, Hong Kong Kowloon, Lung King Heuan!

This is a very famous restaurant in Hong Kong. It is located on the Kowloon Peninsula, with Victoria Harbor just outside. It is a model of new-style high-end Cantonese cuisine.

The exquisite tableware in the hotel complements the glass screen workmanship, and the unique silver foil ceiling sets off the dazzling Victoria Harbor view.

The hotel uses the freshest local high-end ingredients for its meals every day, and cooperates with a team of elite chefs to create innovative and outstanding cooking skills. This is where Mei Yanfang chooses to eat.

Mainly she wanted to thank her colleagues who helped perform yesterday.

"Sister Mei, this is really exaggerated. The box office exceeded 1000 million in one day, and the pre-sales exceeded 2000 million!"

"There shouldn't be that many tomorrow!"

"But breaking Xingye's record on the first day is enough to brag about for a lifetime!"

"It seems that Anle's number one film tomorrow will be "The Blind Shaft"!"

"Emperor and Golden Harvest have released several new movies..."

"..." The dinner party has not started yet, but many guests have already arrived and they are chatting at the table. Zhang Guorong and Nicholas Tse are among them. The four kings are busy with business, so they did not come.

But even so, the artists here already occupy half of Xiangjiang.

"No matter how much the box office will be in the end, at least this time the SARS fund will not have to worry!"

"Mr. Li Jiacheng also took the lead in fundraising today!"

Mei Yanfang suddenly said that she had not forgotten that Chen Yu's movie would donate 5% of the box office.

Even if it is only 2000 million in the end, it is still an amount of 100 million.

"This charity concert was indeed a success!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Mei!"

"..."

Everyone started chatting about the concert again, and Chen Yu found the box they were in. He was not late, but many people had arrived early.

Tuk Tuk!

He knocked on the door of the box, and immediately countless people turned their heads. Then Mei Yanfang stood up and said with a smile: "Come, let me introduce to you the hero of Xiangjiang's resumption of work - Yu Zai!"

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Chen Yu hurriedly waved his hands, his words were serious, and he scanned the people present at the dinner. Good guy, half of the big guys in Xiangjiang's future entertainment industry are here.

This meal is full of stars!

Chen Yu greeted everyone one by one, and everyone seemed extremely polite.

If this were done before, it would be absolutely impossible.

It can only be said that Chen Yu became famous, and even everyone in Xiangjiang gave him face.

After having a meal for several hours, Chen Yu returned to the hotel after adding his contact information one by one.

Looking at the message from Yuan Bin on his cell phone, Chen Yu finally decided to make a call to explain; he was having dinner just now and he didn't have the nerve to go out and make a call.

"Brother Bin!"

When he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Yu shouted quickly.

"Haha, Yuzai!"

When Yuan Bin heard this familiar sentence of Brother Bin, he knew that Chen Yu had not forgotten him.

"Sorry, Brother Bin, I was eating just now, so I didn't have time to reply!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Are you still in Xiangjiang?"

Of course Yuan Bin knew that Chen Yu had come to Xiangjiang and had caused such a big fuss, so he sent a text message to express his condolences.

"Yes, here!"

"How about a midnight snack?"

Won Bin seemed very polite, just like when he was on the set of "Dragon".

"Okay, you decide on a place and I'll come over!"

Soon, Chen Yu met Yuan Bin again at a roadside stall, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He has lost a lot of weight compared to when he was filming "Dragon". It can be seen that he really worked hard during this period.

"Yuzai, you are very famous now!"

"Director Du even asked about you!"

These days, of course, Yuan Bin sends messages to Chen Yufa all the time. He has always wanted Chen Yufa to come to Xiangjiang to develop; now that he is famous there, his thoughts are obviously encouraging.

It's not like he didn't mention Chen Yu in front of Du Qifeng before, but Du Qifeng always smiled and asked Yuan Bin to bring him.

Apart from this sentence, there was nothing else, it was just a perfunctory tone.

But now, today, it's different.

Du Qifeng took the initiative to talk to Yuan Bin about Chen Yu for the first time, but he was so excited that he immediately sent a message to Chen Yu.

The person he likes is now so famous, so he has a bright face.

"is it?"

"What did he say?"

Of course Chen Yu knows To Qifeng, one of the few directors in Hong Kong who is good at making both commercial and genre films.

Three Golden Lions were mentioned in Venice, two Palme d'Or in Cannes, and one Golden Bear, Golden Horse and Golden Statue in Berlin were mentioned, not to mention the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue. Best Director was all given.

"I want to meet you and make a movie with you!"

Yuan Bin smiled and said, but Chen Yu was a little helpless: "It's definitely okay to meet once, but filming a movie may not be possible this year!"

"No schedule?"

"Yes, the schedule is full this year. I estimate that at the earliest we will have to wait until this year's Spring Festival!"

Yuan Bin raised his thumb towards Chen Yu: "Yuzai, I saw you right, you are so popular!"

"It's okay. There are plenty of opportunities. How about meeting with Director Johnnie To tomorrow?"

"Okay, can you do it at noon tomorrow?"

Chen Yu’s flight is tomorrow afternoon.

"In such a hurry?"

"Then I'll ask him tomorrow morning. If it doesn't work...then I'll have to wait until next time!"

"Sorry..."

"What's the big deal? Now that you're famous, there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

Yuan Bin opened a bottle, and Chen Yu drank a drink. The two clinked glasses and drank happily.

To be honest, just now at Mei Yanfang's table, Chen Yu only knew people and didn't eat much at all. Now that he was with Yuan Bin, he felt more relaxed.

At noon the next day, under the introduction of Yuan Bin, Chen Yu met with Du Qifeng and had lunch.

Moreover, the two of them had actually met in Berlin, but they just didn't say hello or leave their contact information.

However, since there was no schedule, we had to make an appointment for the next collaboration.

In this way, Chen Yu's trip to Hong Kong returned to the mainland with "Blind Well"'s first-day box office results of more than 1600 million and pre-sales of 2500 million.

Hong Kong's movie box office record was broken countless times by "The Blind Shaft".

However, as Chen Yu himself guessed, the follow-up to "The Blind Shaft" was indeed weak. People in Xiangjiang still like the movies directed by Xiangjiang. His box office explosion on the first day was entirely due to the care of the special period.

The next day, the box office of "The Blind Shaft" dropped to more than 800 million.

On the third day, there were only over 400 million. This was thanks to the reputation of "The Blind Shaft" and the 5% box office donation. Otherwise, it might have been even worse.

But everyone knows that Xingye's box office record should be difficult to break.

Being among the top ten in total box office in Hong Kong is success enough.

Of course, this year's annual box office championship in Hong Kong may be won by "The Blind Shaft" in one fell swoop; and Anle, on the third day, finally lowered the schedule and number of screenings of "The Blind Shaft".

The box office of "The Blind Shaft" fell for the next time.

These are obviously beyond Chen Yu's control. It is already a miracle that he can make "Blind Well" win so many box office.

Now, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, he received a very exciting news.

The female lead of "Kung Fu", the latest star girl, Stephen Chow finally has a suitable candidate!
