The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 77: Unexpectedly huge success! (Please collect and read)

The film ended and the lights turned on at the right time.

"What? This movie is boring!"

"Yeah, it made me sleepy. Looks like Liang Kun is going to have to pay for it this time!"

"Hehe, let's see if this guy will continue to show off. Now he's been slapped in the face!"

"..."

A number of community leaders stood up and gave a very negative review of the movie.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the voices of these gang leaders happened to reach Liang Kun's ears.

"you!"

Liang Kun was so angry that his face turned blue, and the director sitting next to him was so scared that his face turned pale.

"Haha, Brother Kun, if your movie is a success, the box office will definitely be great!"

At this time, Wu Feng, who was also sitting next to Liang Kun, suddenly spoke, attracting a lot of surprised looks.

Is this guy crazy? This is not the right way to praise him.

This implication was quite obvious in the eyes of many community leaders.

"Fengzi, don't lie to me!"

Liang Kun's expression softened. He glanced at the expressions of the many gang leaders again, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Failure is failure. There's no need to comfort me!"

"Who said it failed?"

Wu Feng strode up to the podium in front of the movie screen and said in a loud voice, "It is precisely because you, the leaders of the clubs, found it boring that this movie is considered a success!"

What's the point?
All the gang leaders present were stunned, even Liang Kun was no exception.

"Fengzi, what do you mean by that? I'm totally at a loss!"

This guy is also interesting. He just roared and immediately attracted a lot of response.

Whether the movie is good or not, it’s up to the audience to decide!
It is obviously a rather boring movie, but Wu Feng insists on saying it is very successful. Isn't this just a lie?
"Brother Kun, don't you think about it!"

Wu Feng said with a smile: "Which of the big guys here is not familiar with the plot of the movie?"

"It's precisely because they're familiar with it that they're not interested in this kind of storyline. Don't they think it's boring?"

As soon as these words came out, Liang Kun immediately showed a look of sudden realization. He clapped his hands and said depressedly: "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have invited all of you big guys to come to watch the movie. I was almost depressed to death!"

The other quick-thinking leaders of the society also reacted immediately and looked thoughtful.

Wu Feng didn't care whether the bosses reacted or not, and continued: "Boss, did you feel distracted when watching the movie?"

"Not this one!"

Brother Ji quickly said, "I just feel bored, that's all. It's not a bad show!"

The other community leaders echoed this sentiment. They all felt the same way. Although the movie was boring, it was not so exaggerated as to ruin the show.

"Brother Kun, do you understand now?"

Wu Feng laughed heartily and said confidently, "The bosses watched the movie without any distractions. What does this mean?" "It means the movie is realistic. None of you feel anything is wrong!"

"Let's put it this way, it's definitely a good film with a realistic theme. Just wait and count your money!"

These words made Liang Kun very happy, but the big bosses of the community were completely confused: So they became the negative control group, is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?

Jiang Tiansheng, who had been silent all this time, just looked at Wu Feng standing on the stage thoughtfully, and then glanced at Liang Kun standing next to him, his eyes flickering and no one knew what he was thinking.
However, the film director and the two leading actors all breathed a sigh of relief. Now they didn't have to face the wrath of Kun. It was great that they could escape.

Liang Kun’s identity as the leader of the society is too intimidating for the director and the two leading actors.

Not to mention, this guy usually has an evil look on his face, which is really scary.

Reality is sometimes more magical than novels!
Although Liang Kun was in a good mood, he did not hold a big banquet or anything like that. He planned to wait until the box office results came out before celebrating properly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wu Feng's views.

The film critics who watched the movie that night were all very fond of the movie "The Son-in-law".

The leaders of the society are very familiar with the story in the movie, but outsiders don’t understand it.

After watching it, every audience was shocked.

It turns out that the son-in-law they looked down upon was so good at seducing girls.

Not only is he very good at seducing girls, he can even make the girls he seduces become prostitutes and use their bodies to make money to support their husbands. It's really unfair.

In short, after watching the film, most ordinary audiences were shocked by the plot, and then they were full of foul language and cursed the real son-in-law in various ways.

The next day, film critics wrote articles in all major newspapers, commenting on the realistic film "The Son-in-law", with praise becoming the mainstream.

Wu Feng's "Mong Kok News" also published a special review of the movie "The Son-in-law".

"I've seen a lot of Hong Kong movies, but not many of them really moved me. 'The Son-in-Law' is one of those excellent films. The plot is a bit too realistic!"

"I heard that the film is based on a real-life incident. That's why I was so deeply moved when I watched it. I can't believe such shameless people exist in the world!"

"It's said that the "guyezai" are a special group of gang members who specialize in seducing women into sex. They are definitely a group of bastards who have committed heinous crimes, but the law has little power over them!"

"Due to professional ethics, I cannot reveal the plot of the movie, but I hope that parents with daughters at home can go to the cinema to watch this movie, so that they can be more vigilant!"

Complementing the newspaper reviews was the fact that the film did quite well at the box office, with the midnight show on the first day earning almost half a million, a pretty good result.

The box office results continued to rise, with the peak single-day box office reaching 1.3 million.

Moreover, with the endless discussions in the newspapers and the certain social impact, the long-tail effect was actually quite good, and the film still had a certain popularity even after it was taken off the screen.

No one expected that the final box office of such a movie would reach a staggering 15 million!

Qiankun Film and Television had a good start, with a box office share of nearly six million.

You should know that the production cost of "The Son-in-law" was less than two million, but the box office share alone made a profit of nearly four million.

At the same time, the large number of videotapes in Liang Kun's hands were distributed throughout Taiwan and the entire Southeast Asia through the Hongxing channels, and more than 100,000 discs were sold in one go.

The profits alone are in the tens of millions, not to mention the good reputation and huge influence created.

It even attracted theater chain merchants from Japan and South Korea, who bought their country's copyrights for two million and five million respectively, which was definitely a pleasant surprise.
