Chapter 280

In the midst of a few people chatting, the film began to play. At the beginning, some people in the audience were whispering, but with the continuous progress of the film, the whole cinema was silent for an instant.

Soon, there was a faint sob in the cinema, and many people's eyes were red. Finally, when Cheng Dieyi died in the arms of elder martial brother, there was a complete cry in the cinema, which couldn't stop.

In fact, this is also the first time President Jia watched farewell my concubine. Although he has been prepared in his heart, he still sobbed when his feelings reached the depths.

[PS: the author didn't read farewell my concubine, so he didn't write any comments. Anyway, the first Chinese score should explain everything]

At the end of the film, the whole theater was still crying. No one got up and applauded, and no one wanted to leave.

It was not until a few minutes later that Jia Yapeng took the lead in standing up and clapping hard. Then brother long and Yang Ziqiong around him reacted and began to clap violently.

Then, the whole cinema reacted, and everyone was clapping desperately. The voice rang through the whole cinema, which shocked many journalists who participated in countless premieres.

"This is definitely the best film I've ever seen!" brother long held director Chen Kai's hand tightly and said excitedly, "director Chen, thank you for bringing such an excellent film to the world and China!"

"Director Chen, it's great!" Yang Ziqiong said, touching her tears.

Guorong, who starred on one side, cried worse than anyone when he watched his own film again. He seemed to have no power to stand up and speak.

At this time, in fact, not many people know Zhang Guorong's orientation. After all, this is not 30 years later. Homosexuality has basically become a political right all over the world.

Comrades in this era have to suffer from social pressure and the hatred of fans, so Guorong has been hiding it. This farewell my concubine is a replica of his story with Mr. Tang.

The same is the childhood sweethearts who have been together since childhood. They have also suffered from the torture of their lives and families, and also suppressed their emotions.

Even the final outcome was the same. Zhang Guorong gave himself a sword and died.

Some people even say that Guorong will be unhappy in the end because of the influence of farewell my concubine.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guorong was able to put all his emotions into the film and perform the unparalleled Cheng Dieyi. From then on, he has become the best singer in the world, farewell my concubine.

Jia Yapeng looked at Zhang Guorong with complicated eyes. He is a big man. What he can do is to find someone to look at Zhang Guorong in the hotel in 2003 and save his life at the critical time.

At this time, the applause in the cinema was not over, and the audience were clapping heartlessly. It was not until a few minutes later that the applause gradually stopped, and the crowd reluctantly dispersed.

"Director Chen, no matter how the film box office is, this film is destined to go down in history and become one of the monuments in our Chinese film history!" general manager Jia said with a sigh after shooting director Chen's shoulder. At this time, director Chen's expression is also much better. There are so many applause, and even all the reporters have shed tears. The box office of farewell my concubine, Should be able to rescue it!

But the facts proved that director Chen was wrong. Although all the Hong Kong journalists present were in tears, on the second day, when the film reviews of these journalists came out, director Chen was angry and wanted to swear at his mother.

Needless to say, the specific content of these film reviews, take out the names of the film reviews and you'll know at a glance.

"It's a gay movie. Don't watch it if you don't like it"

"Old bottles of new wine, but not as much as farewell my concubine in Hong Kong"

"Empty tears, but no sense of reality, the director is too sensational"

Farewell my concubine, the biggest mistake of Zhang Guorong's life

A film as hard to swallow as dry bread

My opinion on two farewell concubines: the gap between the mainland and Hong Kong is still 30 years away

In fact, the film farewell my concubine was filmed in Hong Kong in 1980. Its name is farewell my concubine in Hong Kong.

Well, the name is not one more, but there are two Hong Kong. The reason is that Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi are reunited in Hong Kong at the end of the plot, so they use two Hong Kong.

Compared with the two versions, the Hong Kong version has a slightly better ending, but the mainland version has completely crushed the intention, connotation, actors and everything else.

Although there is still a high score of 9.3 points on Douban in future generations, if you look at the film reviews carefully, you will find that this is the wrong film. It is funny to grade this Hong Kong version of the old film as the 93 version of farewell my concubine.

Director Chen has naturally seen the film. After watching it, director Chen is very clear that although the film is actually good, it still lags behind his painstaking work.

He did not expect that in the Hong Kong media, he was demoted to be worthless, which made Chen Daoqi almost spit blood.

But all the media in Hong Kong spoke with one voice and belittled "Farewell My Concubine" as worthless.

The box office of the next two days also seems to confirm the views of these media.

The first day was the day when farewell my concubine was released the most, with 523 shows, with an average of 100 seats and 10 yuan per film ticket.

If it is calculated according to the attendance rate of about 30% under normal circumstances, the box office on the first day should be about HK $150000, which is the passing line of a film. If it cannot reach this passing line, the film will be directly abandoned by the cinema.

As a result, in the first day, the final box office result was 93000, and there was no breakthrough even in the six digits. When director Chen heard the news, he was dizzy and almost fainted.

As a result, the last show on the second day was directly reduced to 312, and the box office was also reduced to about 82000.

On the third day, there were only more than 163 games left, and the box office also decreased to about 78000.

The total revenue in the three days is HK $250000. If the box office in the first three days of release in Hong Kong and Hong Kong market is generally equal to 20% of the total box office, the total box office of farewell my concubine should not exceed HK $1.25 million.

According to the rule of 50-50 sharing between filmmakers and cinemas in the Hong Kong film market, the box office share that can finally be harvested from Hong Kong and Hong Kong will not exceed 600000.

[PS: in fact, the box office sharing rules of Hong Kong film market are cumbersome. In addition, it is also related to where the film producers come from, the strength of the cinema, and whether there is a gangster background behind it. The specific sharing rules are difficult to calculate. Here, it is calculated according to the nearly 50-50 sharing of most films]

In fact, director Chen thinks that there may not even be 500000 box office, because the cinema line will not continue to arrange films, and his next release may receive double digits. "Farewell My Concubine" is really over.

"Mr. Jia, let's go back. I have no face to stay here!" director Chen finally found Mr. Jia in shame and said.

"Don't worry!" Jia Yapeng laughed and said with a box office data in front of him. "Director Chen, don't you think this box office data is very interesting?"

"It's interesting there?" director Chen was stunned.

"You see, compared with day 1 and day 2, the number of shows on day 3 and day 2 is almost half less. But our box office has only decreased by about 10%. Don't you think this data is very interesting?"

"You mean..." director Chen's breathing suddenly became urgent. He was surrounded by this negative emotion, so he didn't see some obvious problems in the box office data.

But now he was awakened by Jia Yapeng. He found that this data is really interesting.

The decline rate of the number of shows is so high, but the decline rate of the box office is very low. There are 90000 box offices in 500 shows. At 150 games, there were nearly 78000 box offices, which is really unusual.

This shows that although the film arrangement has continued, the average attendance has increased.

On the first day, the attendance rate was about 17%.

On the second day, the attendance rate increased to 26%.

By the third day, the attendance rate had reached 47%.

God, up to 47% of films. There are few such films in Hong Kong in a year!

Chen Dao's breathing became urgent in an instant.
