Chapter 099 Hurricane Rescue North America Detonates(1/4)

When Zhao Donghuai finished talking about slowly and stably acquiring Hong Kong Electric's shares and arranged the follow-up matters, as soon as he returned to Zhao's Pictures, the phone rang.

When he grabbed it, he heard Lin Zhengying's excited words, "Zhao Sheng, it's explosive. Yesterday Hurricane Rescue 1 landed on a thousand screens at A Mei's house. The box office on the first day was more than 2.6 million U.S. dollars. The reputation exploded and it was everywhere.

Good review.”

"Although it has only been released for one day, this result...this result..."

With A Ying's excitement, Zhao Donghuai was speechless.

It’s only over 2.6 million dollars a day, what’s there to be excited about? Well, it’s worth being excited, considering that the Hong Kong dollar has almost cut 20 million in the first day.

To the end of its run in Hong Kong, Rescue 1 only accumulated HK$31 million at the box office, while A-Mei broke the 2-digit box office mark in just one day.

After waiting for a while to communicate with Lin Zhengying, he received another call from Zhang Guorong. The purpose of the call was simple. Warner urged him to fly to his sister's house quickly. It didn't matter. Ah Rong's scene in "The Flying Tiger" had already been filmed.

It's over.

In Flying Tiger, Arong is just a supporting character.

He is currently singing and recording AsLo with Andy Lau.

gAs’s single record, I replied asking Ah Rong to go to Ah Mei, and exchanged some information.

He began to think about the overall trend of this news. On the first day, more than 2.6 million U.S. dollars were made, which was Warner's IWa

t singer, a mysterious Asian singer starring in an action movie as a gimmick, and boasting that this is Asia's second Bruce Lee action movie, it was released on a large scale.

They don't take long to operate either.

There were a few days of advertising bombing before the release, after all, the end of March is the off-season for movies.

On various box office rankings within Amei, very few films released in March rank at the top, so Warner is taking a gamble.

Now it seems that the result of the bet is pretty good. Ah Rong, a new singer who has sold more than 1 million single albums, still has a certain market appeal.

What is the concept of a movie that costs 1,000 yuan to be released on a screen? Currently, the average ticket price for A-Mei is only 3.5 US dollars per ticket, which is even cheaper in the off-season. It was screened for one day, with a box office of more than 2.6 million, and more than 700,000 people paid for it throughout the day.

Tickets to see Hurricane Rescue.

Asian superstars, famous singers, hit singles, and Bruce Lee's second gimmick, they won by tricking the audience into entering the cinema. After all, just by listening to the song, you can't tell whether it is sung by a Chinese or a white person.

As for the explosion of word-of-mouth? It's absolutely right. Amei is still stuck in the turn-based era where you hit me and I'll hit you back. Hurricane Rescue, an epoch-making new genre more than 20 years later, would be weird if it couldn't attract the shock of the audience.

Hurricane Rescue is originally a Hollywood industry, absorbing the essence of action scenes from all over the world, including Hong Kong Island, and innovating the results...

As for the opening scene, which is rather slow and full of text, on the contrary, the pair of sisters may not be a big selling point, because they pay great attention to the feeling of being tired from logging.

"Today and Saturday, the word-of-mouth explosion can continue to spread through the announcement. It will not be difficult to surpass yesterday's 2.6 million dollars. Tomorrow weekend...if the box office reaches 10 million in the first weekend, it will really take off."

Based on the $10 million opening weekend, its final box office may exceed $50 million.

Don't think this number is small. In the whole year of 1984, only four of Amei's domestic box office hits exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. With a box office of 70 million U.S. dollars, Amei ranked 10th in the box office among all girls.

Last year in 1983, there were only two A-Mei movies that broke the $100 million mark.

Once you do the math, you’ll know how awesome it is!

Cannonball Racer, starring Cheng Long, had a box office of 72 million U.S. dollars in A-Mei's homeland, which was already the sixth-highest box office in A-Mei in 1981!

Cannonball Run ranked sixth in the annual vote, why do you still say that it was Cheng Long's failure in Hollywood? He was a supporting role in it, with no personal performance characteristics, and a one-man-show type existence, with no box office position or commercial value.

.

As long as "The Rescue" grosses A-Mei's total box office of 50 million U.S. dollars, it will definitely mean that A-ying has successfully landed in Hollywood. This whole movie is performed by him alone. He is so cool that he has no friends. It is an action movie that is awesome.

As long as the box office exceeds 50 million, Warner will make a lot of money. Even if it has to pay taxes and distribute it to theaters, at least 20 million dollars will fall into Warner's pocket.

They only bought it out for five million dollars.

If hurricane rescue shows a small miracle, it can impact 60 million dollars,...

It’s not uncommon for Hollywood to offer millions of dollars to hire A-ying to film movies. He will overtake in a corner and overtake Aaron’s limelight.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao has A Ying's 4 film contracts in hand, and the remuneration was agreed upon at the beginning, so he can do whatever he wants. No, Debao is already a subsidiary of Zhao Donghuai, and he is his own person.

"A $5 million sale is a loss, but is there any hope of selling the video for $10 million?"

………………

On Sunday, Guan Jiahui suddenly opened up.

Zhao Donghuai answered the new call as if he was doing handheld photography, and got the latest news. Yesterday and Saturday, Hurricane Rescue 1 sold 4.7 million U.S. dollars, jumping from 260 to 470... which means that more than one million people went to the cinema on Saturday.

It's really going to explode!

On Sunday, it once again made a box office of 4.8 million U.S. dollars, with a total box office of 12.17 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend. This week's A-Mei is the weekly box office champion! 2 million U.S. dollars is the weekly crown, but it is normal and off-season!

This era is not yet the era when A-Mei is taking the world by storm with her special effects. It is really not until the 1990s that Hollywood is considered unrivaled in the world and is killing Hong Kong movies.

By the 1990s, if A-Mei didn't earn $100 million locally, she wouldn't be able to make it into the box office charts.

………………

Deborah Film Company.

Lin Zhengying just drove to the parking lot under the office building. What he saw was that some people in the parking lot on the left and right were envious and shocked, waving to him or bending down to call Uncle Ying... A Ying was still touching her head when she saw Yuan Yuan.

Biao came running over and said excitedly, "Uncle Ying, I heard from Brother Sanmao that Warner Bros. wants one million dollars to film a movie with you."

"Fuck, Brother Long is not worth so much. The first weekend sales were more than 12 million dollars, which is equivalent to a box office of more than 90 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"You're crazy, you really want to continue the glory of Brother Xiao Long! Are we, Mr. Zombies, still filming? We have just set up the stage and are ready to start filming."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A Ying also blushed with excitement. 1 million knives, 7.8 million Hong Kong dollars in salary? This is really invincible.

The last film, Zhao Sheng, asked for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was considered a premium, not only for the lead actor's salary, but also for every finger.

After getting excited, he smiled and shook his head, "The remuneration is all fake. Zhao Sheng is the only one in the world who can make good handheld action movies."

"Even if you listen to the conditions in Hollywood, I may not be the protagonist if I go there. But when the news comes back, I feel that my personal brand of beer will be able to sell a lot."

"Perhaps I can learn from Afa and easily pick up one or two hundred thousand."

In this era, Cheng Long has failed in trying to enter Hollywood. If he suddenly emerges, it will really... greatly stimulate the vanity of Hong Kong people? Then, follow the trend of Afa and others and make money by selling beer, which is more than the salary.

.

He was also someone who followed Brother Xiao Long to see the peak back then, so he still had a good eye for things.

This is indeed the case.

Today, when the Kowloon Daily News, more than a dozen junior newspapers, ATV, etc. began to promote the news of hurricane rescue in North America...

The citizens of Hong Kong seemed to be stimulated. In the past two days, Mr. Zhao specially asked for urgent processing of Lam Ching-ying's strong beer, which was immediately sold out, with more than 3 million cans sold a day.

Director Zhao Bai picked up more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars, A Ying got more than 300,000, and the mainland settled another one million Hong Kong dollars. Pengcheng's strong beer branch is under construction at a rapid pace in Pengcheng.

Jianlib Baopengcheng branch factory, and even the black tea and green tea in preparation, are also planning to settle in Pengcheng. This is still an era when Pengcheng's second-line defense is under construction... Outsiders do not need to check the border security permit when going to Pengcheng.

………………

Time entered April 1984. On the 2nd, when the last scene of Lone Tiger was wrapped, Zhao Donghuai grabbed the loudspeaker and said, "We're done, let's wrap up the banquet in the evening. Everyone is welcome to come, there's enough food and wine!"

There were all kinds of cheers and cheers inside and outside the crew.

Zhao Donghuai wiped his sweat, it was not easy. He signed Hua Zai and gave him the script on January 16th, so that Huazai could start preparing for the film. The filming started on February 17th, and Ahua had been preparing for a month.

It was a very simple action movie, and the action scenes were shot very quickly. As for Ah Hua and Zhou Huimin's literary scenes, it took an extra ten or twenty days to finish.

A film takes more than 40 days to shoot, which is certainly much faster than in Hollywood, but for the Hong Kong crew, it is definitely not fast.

The new drama has been completed and is in the post-production process? With 10 million cans of Jianlibao in stock, it’s time to start advertising. Advertising for Jianlibao will also be a two-way boost.

When he ordered the crew to collect things in an orderly manner, Hua Zai came over excitedly, "Boss, Uncle Ying's drama has been too popular recently."

"Our new play..."

Hua Zai was a little unsteady and walked a little unsteadily. The main reason was that he didn't dare to think too much, for fear that he would think too much. Who let Lin Zhengying's hurricane rescue and Amei's explosive effect be too wild?

It's Li Guoxing, who has been working on Hurricane Landing Bend, but got stuck and is still researching it. As soon as the news of A Mei's explosion in this drama came out, things went smoothly over there because many ghost guys in Bendwan complained and protested.

, what can I do if I can’t watch A-mei’s explosive movie?

Calculating it this way, Director Zhao lost money when he sold it out for 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

But if you lost money last time, you can make it back on Lonely Flying Tiger.

Ah Ying is so wild, and Ah Hua also knows how to be a lonely tiger. The fighting scenes, action combat and even the editing mode with him as the absolute protagonist are all in the same vein as Hurricane Rescue.

Zhao Donghuai smiled and patted Hua Zai on the shoulder, "If you want to follow Ah Ying's path of becoming popular, you need to support your new songs. A hurricane can break out in Ah Mei, and Ah Rong is indispensable."

It’s not that Zhang Guorong’s single suddenly became a big hit and landed on the Billboard chart, IWa

t's brainwashing feeling is too wild and has attracted a lot of fans. Warner's green-haired Rose will never buy him out.

There are more than one million people who spend money to buy singles. How many free fans do you think are brainwashed by listening to the songs?

In the early days, fans went to see it, and the word-of-mouth exploded and the shock was unparalleled. Then they took advantage of the trend and announced it in many places... Hua Zai wanted to imitate this way, and the songs must be powerful, but AsLo

gAs itself is powerful enough.

Until now, Hua Zai has not finished recording, and he is helpless. He is far inferior to Ah Rong’s English skills! The two of them are too far apart at this stage.

Liu Dehua nodded hurriedly, "I won't eat or sleep, and I will try to practice well as soon as possible."
