Chapter 512 Half of the Country(3/3)
Listening to Wu Meizhen's introduction, Tao Yushu didn't say anything at first. When he heard that he had to participate in activities again and had to take care of his children, Tao Yushu had a headache.
After being named one of the top ten outstanding young people in Hong Kong, Tao Yushu suddenly received many more invitations to social activities than before. She did not like to participate in such activities.
But for the long-term consideration of the company, she still participated in some activities patiently.
She has always believed that her temperament is more suitable for charging in the mall rather than socializing in social situations. "Can I turn it down?"
"It's the association's double-day party, so it's not easy to recommend."
Tao Yushu is now a member of the Women’s Association, and it is her duty to attend events. She said helplessly: ‘
knew."
The car arrived at the Peninsula Hotel restaurant, and Tao Yushu went upstairs to Feli restaurant.
Shi Nansheng and Xu Hark were already waiting here and said hello. Tao Yushu smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
"We arrived early. It's still ten minutes until half past six."
Shi Nansheng and Tao Yushu were chatting and laughing happily, while Xu Hark beside him looked a little embarrassed.
After nearly two months of ideological struggle, the couple finally decided to join the Lin Film Group.
What prompted the couple to make up their mind was the performance of the three films in this Christmas season.
New Art City's "Red Lips" was the first to be released, and it was also the first to reveal its true form.
As a film that follows the trend of "A Better Tomorrow", there is almost no merit, even with Chow Yun-fat.
With Ti Lung holding these two trump cards, the box office on the first day was only 1.16 million.
In one week of release, it took in 6.27 million at the box office. It seems difficult to break through 15 million.
With such a small box office, the actors may not even be able to earn back the actors' remuneration by dividing the accounts. Chow Yun-fat and Ti Lung's remuneration is not cheap, so they can only make up for it through income from other places.
Jiahe's "Uncle Zombie" was of good quality and received a good reputation after its release. However, Wu Ma, the lead actor, did not have enough box office appeal, and his performance was two points better than "The Red Lips". However, it quickly declined after the release of "Chicken and Duck Talk"
was suppressed.
The single-day box office of "Chicken and Duck Talk" exceeded 2 million yuan on its first day of release, and its performance has been solid for four consecutive days.
The box office is estimated to be at least HK$12 million in the first week, undisputedly sweeping the important Christmas period.
The performance of new films released by the three major film companies in Hong Kong during the Christmas season also reflects the current development momentum and model of the three companies to a certain extent.
There was serious internal strife in Xinyi City. Several bosses only wanted to make money, and bad movies were frequently released. The saying "Everything produced by Xinyi City must be a high-quality product" has long become a joke.
After the failure of "Business Train" and "Oriental Condor", Sammo Hung seems to have lost the power to turn decay into magic.
Jiahe is now dominated by Cheng Long's family, but Cheng Long can only make two movies a year. How can he support such a large film company?
The fact that the two competitors are stuck in their ways reflects Lin's current bravery and advancement.
Tao Yushu's strategy of spreading money for more than two years has achieved great success, and he has many elite soldiers under his command.
Not counting those popular films that are popular during important schedules, even in less popular schedules, Lin's films often dominate major theaters.
1988 is about to come to an end, and the total box office of the movie market has basically been fixed.
This year, the local movie box office in Hong Kong exceeded 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, an increase of more than 30 percentage points compared with 1987. Excluding the 15% increase in ticket prices, there was still an increase of more than 15%.
For practitioners, this is certainly gratifying.
But for many industry bosses, the situation is a mixed blessing.
Because at the end of the year, everyone was surprised to find that the films produced by Lam Films actually accounted for 9 of the top 20 box office films in the city this year, accounting for as high as 45% of the box office.
Half the country!
This is something that even Jiahe and Xinyi City in their heyday have never done.
