Chapter 372 of Hong Kong Entertainment's life simulator, the 1991 version of Beyond Reloaded, will be released in Wanjia Cinemas as scheduled on September 6. Although it only accounts for 30% of the film schedule, Ajie is still excited about Good Luck Comes

The flagship store ordered a feast for the entire crew.

After he had a drink with Qian Xiaohao, he smiled and said, "Ah Hao, you are handsome and can fight. Don't worry, even if you play the villain, you will definitely become famous again."

Without the popularity of Lin Zhengying's zombie movies, Qian Xiaohao is now considered a minor star. Even though he became popular in the mainland in 1984, he was considered top-notch for a while.

But in this era, the industry is changing so fast!

Qian Xiaohao smiled modestly, "Thank you, Brother Jie, for giving me this opportunity. With you and Sister Qingxia competing at the box office, our movie will definitely be a hit."

Hong Kong Island's current theater chain has 27,000 seats for 30% of the movie schedule. A movie can be fully booked, and the box office for one screening is NT$405,000.

The film length of Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng is just over 90 minutes, and 12 scenes can be arranged in one day, and 30% can also earn the ultimate figure of nearly 5 million Hong Kong dollars. The first day starts at 8 a.m., which is 8 hours less and 8 hours a day.

Yes, the limit data of more than 3 million is still available.

Based on his previous success, Ajie is now full of confidence. As for Qian Xiaohao? He was once a close disciple of Zhang Che. He was a supporting actor in Zhang Che's movies at the age of 16. He played the leading role in the movie at the age of 17 and became famous as a teenager. Even if

Later, the old martial arts movies declined, and at the age of 21, he also used ATV TV series to achieve crowd-pleasing ratings.

In his early years, he was outspoken and unpleasant, offending many people, and gradually became obsolete. But now, he is 28 years old, married, and a father.

Not to mention facing Li Lianjie, who was at the height of his power, he was good-tempered and well-spoken. When facing ordinary people, he no longer had the domineering attitude of a young man who became famous.

People's tempers basically change a lot when they are young, in their early 20s and in their late 30s when they start a family and have a wife and children.

When Lin Qingxia came and everyone clinked glasses, Sister-in-law Lin laughed and teased, "Ajie, you held the celebration banquet so early, aren't you afraid of an accident?"

Ajie smiled brightly, "No, definitely not. I don't believe in myself, but I also believe in Sister Qingxia's appeal. To this day, Dongfang Bubai is still the new idol of countless people."

Talking, laughing, eating and drinking, the whole crew was very happy.

Then……

On September 7, when Li Lianjie looked at the box office result of 1.6 million on the first day of release in Hong Kong, he couldn't help but fell silent.

………………

When the ATV office received the box office data, Xiaoxian exclaimed, "Is this a hit on the street? It's a hit on the street. Although the film scheduling rate is not high, the data is still lower than that of Battle 1 which has been released for more than a month?"

"

"Why did Ajie suddenly pounce??"

Li Jiaxin was also surprised and said, "How could it be so popular? Ajie and Qingxia, the reunion screen CP, and Chen Derong is also so popular? The new generation of idols."

"Why did you pounce so outrageously?"

On the contrary, Zhao Donghuai looked calm, because he had known about Ajie. Is the original version good? Is it a classic? It is also a good movie and a masterpiece in 2022, but in fact, when it was released on Hong Kong Island, the final box office was only 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

In 2022, Douban is also a good movie with an 8 rating.

The only reason for the box office failure was that the audience was tired of watching it! In the original track, Ajie starred in five costume martial arts films in 1993, and in 1992 there was also the two-part Once Upon a Time, Swordsman and Dongfang Undefeated...

The audience is really tired of watching his ancient costumes. If he eats too much meat and fish, everyone will want to change their appetite.

Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng performed well in Hong Kong Island, but in Asia it earned more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in box office. Coupled with the subsequent video revenue, it is impossible to lose money.

If not for the change of heroine in this version, from Michelle Yeoh to Lin Qingxia, with the extra bonus of Qingxia, the data would probably be even worse.

The costume blockbusters starring Ajie in this dimension are not as intensive as those staged in the original track, but there are too many blockbusters of other types at the same time.

Let’s just talk about Armageddon. It’s been more than a month since it was released, and the daily box office is still stable at more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Isn’t it outrageous? It’s not outrageous. There are not many modern epic war movies that are so realistic and large-scale in the world.

The final battle is novel and shocking to the audience.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Donghuai said with a smile, "It's just aesthetic fatigue, but he won't lose money. With the mainland ticket warehouse, he is bound to make a lot of money. At most, it will affect his mentality for a short time."

Hearing the word aesthetic fatigue, Ah Xin blinked immediately, knelt down to tie his shoelaces, and after a few dozen seconds said in surprise, "Fortunately, boss, you are such a kind and reliable man who makes people feel at ease and safe!"

Speaking of which, she has been with Zhao Donghuai for four years.

No matter how beautiful she is, she will get bored after seeing her too much. For example, her mother and eldest sister never realized how stunningly beautiful she is and how charming she is.

Wang Zuxian looked in the mirror and said thankfully, "I haven't turned into a yellow-faced woman. Aesthetic fatigue is really terrible. Let me tell you something. I looked at it in advance and I think the photo was pretty good."

"Qian Xiaohao's acting skills in it suppressed Ajie's to a certain extent."

Well, Qian Xiaohao's performance in this movie is indeed a bit outstanding. The expression pack of "I can't help but take my fate" is as impactful as Brother Wuying calling you to eat shit.

Zhao Donghuai just chatted for a few words and didn't care.

He is very stable here, but many media outside have paid attention to this. Some media have already planned to cast a negative light on whether Ajie has gone off the street and the sign is not bright.

In Hong Kong Island's entertainment and media circles, celebrities' personal privacy is rarely reported, and all kinds of gossip are rarely hyped, because Zhao's leader has strict control, but no one cares about things like box office performance.

These are all data on the surface.

On the 8th, Qian Xiaohao walked out of his house wearing a mask and read the time at a roadside stall. He was obviously stimulated by the new daily newspaper.

Tiantian Daily: "Li Lianjie's new movie hits the street? The box office on Saturday and Sunday on the 7th was 1.79 million, only HK$190,000 more than Friday!"

Hong Kong Island's headline newspaper: "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng screened eight times in a row on Friday, 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, and screened 12 times on Saturday, 1.79 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Oriental Daily: "Ajie plus Qingxia, Chen Derong, Qian Xiaohao? The two-day data of the new film is not as good as the one-day data of Battle 1. Sanfeng Pictures has suffered a big decline since its opening. Is it a feng shui problem or Li Lianjie's vision problem?"

Ming Pao: "It is definitely a passable and wonderful martial arts movie. Could it be that the box office failure is due to the use of box office poison? Looking back on Qian Xiaohao's arrogant and domineering first half of his life!"

…………

Ah Hao's expression was not good-looking and he was in a bad mood. He was still counting on Zhang Sanfeng's movie to make a comeback and become famous. After marrying a wife and having a son, he would have to support his family.

It doesn’t matter that Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng’s trend is so popular, but Ming Pao directly labeled him as a “box office poison”? Looking back at his arrogant and domineering first half of his life?

Such a front-page headline made Ahao so angry that he wanted to run and burn Mingpao!

In this aspect, his development in movies is really not as good as his younger brother Qian Jiale. After all, Qian Jiale also starred in the movie and it was a pretty good seller. A movie without Lam Ching-ying could gross HK$15 million, which is pretty good.

It was also a project where his younger brother had been working as a martial arts master in the Hong family class for so long, and the eldest brother Hong Yinbao strongly recommended his younger brother to be one of the leading actors.

It's so annoying that the movie box office is a hit... What do you object to this fact?

It’s another new day. The box office of Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng was released on Sunday. It was only 1.71 million in Hong Kong. It even dropped by 80,000 compared to Saturday. It was 5.1 million Hong Kong dollars in the three days of the first weekend?!

Lin Qingxia, who was so excited by this data, took the initiative to call Ajie and apologize. At the advance celebration banquet at noon on Friday, Sister Qingxia did complain about it. Who would have thought that it would be so real?

Ajie's emotions were ups and downs, but after visiting Zhao Donghuai once, he also lay down. As soon as he commented on aesthetic fatigue, Ajie realized that he had starred in too many costume films in recent years, starting from the earliest Shaolin Temple Three

From the first and second parts of Once Upon a Time to the East and the Invincible, to New Longmen Inn, and then to Fang Shiyu?

You can't say that Tai Chi and Zhang Sanfeng are inferior, but compared to other series, this new movie is not outstanding and eye-catching.

If you keep showing it to the audience for a long time without any major changes, it is indeed easy to get bored.

Take Zhou Xingxing, for example, after he became famous as the King of Comedy, he also appeared in movies with group scenes in which Xing was just one of the group characters.

Not to mention Cheng Long, after a series of police stories, he went to play an ancient general who, despite living on empty wages and drinking the blood of his soldiers, would roll up his sleeves and tie his trousers in the face of floods to fight the floods with Liang Jiahui.

On the 9th.

Ajie once again recruited the main creators of Tai Chi and Zhang Sanfeng together. He smiled and toasted politely before saying with emotion, "Although the new film has been a hit, I don't blame you. It's my fault. It's just a matter of aesthetic fatigue. Generally speaking, we

The movie still made money."

"Hong Kong Island performed poorly, with only 5.7 million Hong Kong dollars in the first weekend in Hong Kong, but more than 18 million Hong Kong dollars in Stars, Malaysia and Thailand, more than 13 million in South Korea, and 53 million yuan in three days in the mainland."

"A large ticket warehouse in the Mainland saved us. Counting East and Southeast Asia, the box office in the first weekend was close to HK$100 million. How could we lose money?"

When he said this, everyone naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Lin Qingxia, Sister Qingxia smiled bitterly and said, "I thought my crow's mouth was really that powerful? It turns out it's aesthetic fatigue. So, Ajie, what are you going to do next?"

Ajie thought for a while, "I want to try filming Fist of Fury and Chen Zhen... slow down a little this time and shoot slowly. Once the film is done, it may not be possible to generate a certain amount of income in Europe and the United States."

"Ah Hao, if you don't mind, just keep a schedule and we can continue to cooperate."

Qian Xiaohao was overjoyed, "Thank you, Brother Jie, thank you, Brother Jie, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

He thought that after Mingpao labeled him box-office poison, few film crews would be looking for him.

Who knows that Ajie will continue to cooperate with him?? Fist of Fury Chen Zhen?? This is true, there are many previous works, the biggest one is naturally Brother Xiao Long’s Fist of Fury, which is also one of Brother Xiao Long’s masterpieces to the world.

The trilogy launched by ATV from 1982 to 1984 had a very strong influence.

Thinking of this, Ah Hao couldn't help but said, "Brother Jie, the masterpieces of the two Xiao Long brothers??"

Ajie smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine, "I can't help it. In addition to making ancient martial arts movies, I have also tried modern urban movies in the past. No matter whether it is Dark Knight Part Two or Hard Man, the box office performance is not good.

.”

"More Than Hard" was released during the Lunar New Year period after the Spring Festival, and the data showed that it was going high and going low, and was beaten by hearing girls!

In the end, the Hong Kong box office also stopped at HK$19 million. Fortunately, the mainland was strong enough and took in a full box office of 320 million yuan. Even though the 650 million yuan for the girl was a big hit, it was a huge profit for a commercial project.

.

Nominated for awards or anything, nothing came of it.

"In the end, Director Xu was able to lead me to perform a brand new version of Once Upon a Time. I feel that as long as the crew and creators work hard, we can also perform a unique version of Chen Zhen and Fist of Fury!"

Qian Xiaohao could only smile brightly and said, "As long as new projects are useful to me, Brother Jie can just ask."
