Hong Kong Movies: Dongxing Dandy, Xia He, the Scraping Knife at the Beginning

Chapter 50



Although the creative team, including director Skull and Bones, had expected that Mr. Zombie would be a big hit, the film became a huge hit after the screening!

After spontaneous publicity and recommendation by the audience, it became the"top movie" in just a few hours, and almost every show was sold out!

This caught the owners of the major cinemas off guard. In the business world, profits come first.

Without any hesitation, they immediately began to increase the number of screenings.

According to incomplete statistics

, after entering the night show, the screening rate of Mr. Zombie was as high as 45%-50%.

In the era without Internet publicity and water army, it was so terrifying! At

8 pm, at the entrance of a cinema in Mong Kok District, the audience who had just watched Mr. Zombie were still not satisfied and had a heated discussion with each other:

"Holy crap, this movie is fucking amazing!"

"Yes, it’s unprecedented to make a supernatural film so exciting!"

"Hmm. Especially after adding the comedy element, it is not abrupt, but complements each other. Funny and thrilling coexist!"

"To me, the most impressive scene is the urinary march sung by the ghost girl Dong Xiaoyu when she came out:"She drips her bladder, she drips her bladder, she has to pee so badly that she can't hold it in any longer."’"

"Speechless, that's her eyes, her eyes, like shining stars’"

"......."

At this moment, Liang Kun happened to pass by in his Bentley.

In fact, he and the other bosses had left one after another as soon as the meeting ended.

He wanted to investigate the tricks behind Big Boss B as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect to run into his lover Bella and her bestie just after leaving Wan Chai.

Seeing this, Liang Kun immediately took the two of them to the hotel and played"one dragon playing with two phoenixes".

At this moment, seeing the bustling outside the cinema, he immediately smiled excitedly.

It turned out that today, their Qiankun International Film Production Company also had a romantic film called"The Secret Book of the Boudoir" released.

Liang Kun mistakenly thought that these were all his audience.

He leaned back in the back seat and nodded uncontrollably:

"Uh-huh"

"Looks like we're going to make a lot of money again."

Upon hearing this, Sha Qiang, who was temporarily working as a part-time driver, immediately boasted:

"Brother Kun wrote the script himself, so how could there be anything wrong with it?"

"I heard that everyone privately calls you the Godfather of erotic films!"

Liang Kun was very pleased with this and laughed out loud:

"Hahaha!"

"Go, go back quickly"

""We should shoot the second part right away while the heat is on!"

Sha Qiang agreed.

Beep-beep-- although the street was crowded, he pressed the horn rudely and stepped on the accelerator.

Seeing this, passers-by were all scared out of their wits.

They wanted to curse, but when they saw the license plate, they dared not say anything.

After all, it was in Mong Kok!

Everyone knew that this was the car of Hongxing boss Liang Kun!....

After more than half an hour of running around, the two returned to Qiankun International Film Production Company.

After parking the car and walking into the revolving door, they saw the company's chief director running over in a panic:

"Brother Kun, the theater just received news......."

But before he could finish his words, Liang Kun waved his hand:

"Needless to say, I know everything."

The director's heart immediately thumped and he became even more nervous.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

Normally, shouldn't the boss be furious? Why was he so angry?...A face full of joy?

Then, I heard Liang Kun continue to order:

"You gather the creative team right now and we'll have a simple meeting."

"Try to finish filming"The Secret Book of the Boudoir 2" before the weekend of this week."

???????

Hearing this, the director's head was full of question marks.

Hmm?

Seeing this, Liang Kun frowned slightly and asked:

"What, is there a problem?"

The chief director shook his head and replied:

"without...No!"

"I'm just afraid that the sequel will fail again. Not only will it lose money at the box office, but it will also have a significant impact on our company's reputation."

"Brother Kun, I think it is better to stop loss in time........"

Liang Kun interrupted again:

"etc!"

"Another failure? What do you mean?"

It was not until this time that he learned the truth from the chief director:

"Because of our relationship with major theater chains, when the film was first released, the filming rate was ranked first, and the box office growth was very substantial."

"But in the afternoon, a movie called"Mr. Zombie" suddenly appeared and attracted great attention."

"By the evening, with the box office and word of mouth soaring rapidly, its filming rate even increased to a terrifying 50%!"

"On the other hand, our"Guardian Secrets" maintains around 10%-15%"

"The cinema attendance rate has dropped drastically, and even during prime time, it is only half full."

After a short pause, the director lowered his voice and continued carefully:

"If it follows this format, the total box office will be at most 2-2.5 million, after deducting various costs, almost...Almost a loss."

Hearing this, Liang Kun finally couldn't help it.........
