On January 1, 1993, my general manager Jia opened a new map again and came to a new city, Hong Kong.

On this day, farewell my concubine can finally be released. As the sole producer of farewell my concubine, President Jia naturally wants to come and attend the premiere of farewell my concubine.

We can see that director Chen's face is still not enough. Not many stars came to the premiere ceremony, mainly those actors of farewell my concubine, such as Guorong, Gong Li and Zhang Feng. However, there are not many real local actors in Hong Kong, that is, Zhang Guorong alone.

There are not many media. It is estimated that there are only about 10. There are a lot of viewers, but each audience basically holds a sign of Zhang Guorong. Obviously, these viewers are attracted by Zhang Guorong's name.

"It seems that we are not very popular in Hong Kong!" Jia Yapeng said to Director Zhang with a smile, looking at the sparse reporters and basically all Zhang Guorong's fans.

"No way, this is Hong Kong, and we are mainland movies. This kind of scene is too normal!" director Chen sighed, but obviously he had met this situation for a long time.

These days, there are very few mainland films that will choose to premiere in Hong Kong. Coupled with Hong Kong's consistent prejudice against the mainland, they will be interested.

In fact, if it weren't for the name of Zhang Guorong in the actors, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even a reporter and fans on the scene. Of course, if you gave the fare, the reporter invited would not count.

"How many cinemas will be shown in Hong Kong tomorrow, how many film screens will be given to us, and how many times will there be in total?" Jia Yapeng asked.

Jia Yapeng learned a little. In 1992, when Hong Kong and Hong Kong film industry reached its peak, Hong Kong and Hong Kong alone had five different cinema lines, thousands of large and small cinemas, more than 3000 screens and more than 100000 seats.

Otherwise, it is impossible for a single Hong Kong market to create a box office of 60 million for a single film.

Therefore, the Hong Kong film market these days can create one box office miracle after another and crush a country with the box office results of a city.

So it's not wrong that director Chen Da chose to premiere in Hong Kong. As long as farewell my concubine can get enough film arrangement, the box office may be very considerable.

"Well, it is estimated that there will be about 200 cinemas showing our films today, with more than 300 screens. If there are about 500 scenes," said director Zhang Da.

"That's a little?" Jia Yapeng's expression became a little ugly. There are only more than 200 cinemas in 1000 cinemas, equivalent to 15 of the total. This is a little too miserable. At least every cinema should try to show a film and see how the effect is!

"Will there be many new films released on New Year's day today?" President Jia asked.

"No, the new film has been released on Christmas Eve. We are the only new film released today!" director Chen shook his head.

"That's why we're not optimistic about our films in the cinema?" President Jia asked again.

"It shouldn't be. To be exact, apart from two of the five cinemas, the other three have never seen our films at all. I came from one cinema a few days ago. They heard that our films came from the mainland and didn't even have the interest to see them. So they said goodbye to me!"

"Mr. Jia, I'm sorry. It seems that we're going to lose money this time!" director Chen said with some resentment. It seems that director Chen has suffered a lot of grievances these days. I thought he had the trump card of Guorong and should be very optimistic in the Hong Kong market. Unexpectedly, he still ate a bowl of closed door.

"These Hong Kong people look down on people too much!" Chen said, biting his teeth.

"It's natural to despise, but there should be other reasons!" Mr. Jia smiled.

"What's the reason?" director Chen asked curiously.

"Naturally, the capital of this film is the mainland capital, that is, my capital!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile. "The film market in Hong Kong is so large that there are nearly hundreds of local film companies. They can't eat enough of these box offices. How can an outsider like me be welcome to pay money?"

"So I guess there should be a lot of Hong Kong film companies behind this time, asking for a collective boycott of us. After all, these cinemas rely on film companies to eat. It's not surprising that they will unite together. Otherwise, there is a sign of Guorong, why so!"

The reason why boss Jia made such a judgment is mainly because Jia Yapeng vaguely remembers that when the world's farewell my concubine was released in Hong Kong, it made a box office of HK $28 million. This achievement also ranked 10th in the box office list of Hong Kong and Hong Kong films in 1993, which is also a quite good achievement.

This is by no means an achievement that only 200 cinemas are willing to release, so it is obvious that compared with previous lives, some people are boycotting this film.

Everything in farewell my concubine is basically the same as in the previous life. The only difference from the previous life is our boss Jia. Tomson Group, the capital behind farewell my concubine in the previous life, is a Hong Kong company. The boss himself is also mixed from the film market. He has a lot of contacts in the Hong Kong film circle and can naturally get the most cinema support.

Although our boss Jia seems to have more money, he has no contacts in Hong Kong. In addition, he is also a mainland capital. It is perfectly normal that he will be secretly boycotted.

"What shall we do? It seems that we will lose a lot of money this time!" hearing Jia Yapeng's analysis of the secret behind it, director Chen's face instantly becomes whiter. If he is boycotted by the film market in Hong Kong, farewell my concubine may only have a six digit box office, then he will really lose his adult.

"It's okay, even if the box office is 0, it doesn't matter. I don't care!" Jia Yapeng patted director Zhang Da on the shoulder, and then smiled. "Director Chen, I said that the purpose of this film is to win awards. As for other things, don't care. 25 million is just a small money for me. Don't have psychological pressure. I support you in everything!"

"Thank you, boss!" director Chen was so moved that he didn't expect to meet such a generous boss. This is a good thing that many film directors can't dream of. It seems that I must hold boss Jia's thigh tightly in the future, and strive to let him invest money for me in the future, and my future films can also release myself more and make some things I want to make.

Well, if Jia Yapeng knows that director Zhang Da thinks so, Jia Yapeng is afraid he won't say this. President Jia doesn't want to cooperate with Director Chen again. This guy is really born to lose money, but the only winner is this farewell my concubine. Fools will continue to cooperate.

"Hey, brother long is coming!"

"Oh, my God, brother long is here!!" suddenly, the reporters in the cinema were in a commotion. More than a dozen reporters rushed out directly and began to shoot fiercely at the entrance of the cinema. With the smiling brother long behind, they walked into the premiere.

"Why did he come? I didn't invite him!" seeing brother long, director Chen was a little confused. He had tried to invite some local stars in Hong Kong, but they were all rejected, so director Chen simply gave up inviting other big stars. Unexpectedly, brother long came by himself.

"Oh, this is the guest I invited!" Mr. Jia said with a smile. Brother long is really a man. Even though he knows that Hong Kong is boycotting himself, he still comes to the premiere. That's it. It seems that he has to pull this brother in the future.

Although it's OK to find him to shoot advertisements in the future, it's OK to make movies. At least before 2010, brother Long's name still has great appeal in the film market.

"Miss Yang Ziqiong is here too!" the reporters exclaimed again, and President Jia was surprised by Yang Ziqiong's appearance. He didn't invite Miss Yang to come. He really came uninvited.
