"Mr. Zombie": The best cooldown movie this summer!
Tens of millions of directors have returned strongly!
Awesome Kung Fu comedy that hasn't been seen in ten years!
After watching the premiere, reporters from other newspapers were still very restrained in praise of "Mr. Zombies", and some guys with brain disease (Kang Jianfei thinks) were picking on them.
But the three newspapers that Oriental DreamWorks spent money to buy soft articles frantically flattered Mr. Zombie for three consecutive days before the release.
Under the influence of long-term reports, coupled with the fame that Kang Jianfei had accumulated before, on the first day of the release of "Mr. Zombie", 16 theaters including Princess Jin, Li Stage, Watson, and Li Ge were filled with events, and the attendance rate of the other seven theaters was more than 90%.
Such a grand occasion is in a strong contrast with the average attendance rate of less than 60% on the first day of "Happy Ghost" release, and it is even better than Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother Takes Out" during the Spring Festival.
The entire Hong Kong film industry was shocked. After the publicity and premiere of "Mr. Zombie", many people expected Kang Jianfei's new film to be sold.
But who would have thought that Mr. Zombie would be so popular?
To put it bluntly, the reason why "Mr. Zombie" caused a movie viewing frenzy is simply because of the following reasons:
First of all, it is naturally that the publicity in recent days has taken effect, which has long lifted the audience's appetite. It will only be the first day of the release that queues up at the entrance of the cinema to buy tickets;
Second, Kang Jianfei's own fame, whether it is "The Legend of Qin", "Shanghai Band", "Happy Ghost", or his robbery incident some time ago, has made him a topical figure in Hong Kong;
Third, there are no other good movies during this period. Jackie Chan is still filming "The Killer Trench" in the United States, and Sammo Hung is also producing "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", and no one robs the audience with Kang Jianfei;
Fourth, that is, "Mr. Zombie" itself is of excellent quality. Whether in terms of shooting techniques, genre, scripts, etc., this movie belongs to the top of this era.
Although "Mr. Zombie" was released only five years ahead of schedule, these five years have been five years of transformation, development and maturity of Hong Kong films, with a qualitative leap forward and afterwards!
23 cinemas were released at the same time, of which 16 were full, and the remaining 7 had an attendance rate of more than 90%.Such perverted results shocked the other filmmakers who received the news.
Even Lei Juekun and Li Maowen were scared, and they didn't believe the scene they saw with their own eyes.
Outside the ticket window of Princess Jin Theater, the people queuing up to buy tickets lined up more than 200 meters away, blocking a store next to it, causing the owner of the store to come to the cinema to complain.
Most of the people queuing are students, and a large part of them are adults.The one in front is fine, but the one in the back has long been impatient.
Hello, I'm going to go to the line, someone is going to go to the line in front!
Whoever goes to the line, come out quickly.
No wonder I didn't move after queuing for so long, it turned out that someone was in line.
Pull that little boy out quickly and beat him!
Who dares to touch me? My boss is Big Fei Ge in Causeway Bay!
You are the one who beats you!
……
The ticket buying team suddenly became a mess. Some people took advantage of the chaos to jump in line, some people took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and the noise and scolding sounded.
The cigar in Lei Juekun's hand ignited a lot of the boss and still didn't know it. It was not until the chaos in front that he destroyed the cigar and told Li Maowen: I will add more scenes to "Mr. Zombies" tomorrow and postpone the screening of "The Blood Arrow".
Li Maowen sighed: This kid Kang Jianfei will be a super director from now on.If we could maintain this momentum for a few more days, Mr. Zombie would probably have a box office of nearly 20 million.
……
Zou Wenhuai has been very upset these two days. Due to the strong release of "Mr. Zombie", the audience has been directly sucked away, resulting in less than 40% of the attendance rate of movies released on Shaw Brothers theaters.
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!A knock on the door sounded.
Zou Wenhuai put down the pen in his hand and said: Come in!
The one who came in was Zou Wenhuai's assistant. He walked in and said: Mr. Zou, the news I just received was that the box office of "Mr. Zombie" had 960,000 on the first day, and the box office of 1.17 million on the second day due to the increase in releases.
A single-day box office of 1.17 million?Zou Wenhuai looked at his assistant in surprise, and he thought he had heard it wrong.
Hell, there were so many movies released in Hong Kong in the first half of the year, with only 8 movies with a box office of over 2 million."Mr. Zombie" actually exceeded one million in a single day, which sounds like a fantasy!
The assistant confirmed: It is indeed a single-day box office of 1.17 million, and 23 theaters are screened five times a day. All the movies released by Princess Jin's theaters during this period have given way to "Mr. Zombie".Although the attendance rate of "Mr. Zombie" has declined, the number of viewers has been increasing.
Zou Wenhuai was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking, and after a long time he said: Where did Kang Jianfei jump out of the monster!
Zou Wenhuai waved his hand and asked the assistant to go out first.Before the latter closed the door, He Guanchang walked in, pulled up his chair and sat down and said: "Mr. Zombie"'s box office this time is too weird.
Zou Wenhuai leaned on the leather chair and said: It's Ah, the box office is too high, and those audiences are like crazy.
He Guanchang suddenly laughed: The higher the box office of "Mr. Zombie", the bigger the crack between Lei Juekun and Kang Jianfei.I know Lei Juekun's temper. He will not be willing to sell his own movies released in theaters, but this film company is completely out of his control.I heard that Mai Jia and his team were going to form a new company called Xinyi City. Xinyi City is absolutely controlled by Lei Juekun, and Kang Jianfei's Oriental Dream Factory is still Kang Jianfei's entirely sole proprietorship.
Zou Wenhuai said: You mean that when Jinbao Film Company and Xinyi City get on track, Lei Juekun will take action against Kang Jianfei, and even lose the box office to force Kang Jianfei to submit?
Absolutely!
He Guanchang affirmed that if the box office of Jinbao Film Company and Xinyi City was too bad, Lei Juekun would not have the courage to slap himself and would continue to maintain cooperation with Kang Jianfei.
Zou Wenhuai was silent and he could only wait now.Wait until Jackie Chan finished filming "The Killer's Treasure" in Hollywood, and then use this Sino-US cooperation blockbuster to get back the lost scenes now.
……
Uncle Nine!
Hello, Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu, we went to drink together after work.
……
On the set of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts", everyone greeted him wherever Lin Zhengying went.
A week ago, Lin Zhengying was just a senior martial artist in the Hong family class, but with the popularity of "Mr. Zombie", Lin Zhengying, as the male lead, has become a first-line film actor in Hong Kong.
Those who used to call him Aying now call him Uncle Jiu with the name of Lin Zhengying in "Mr. Zombie".
In just a few days, three film companies have asked Lin Zhengying to film, and they all act as male leads.
In the past, Lin Zhengying never dreamed that he would be so glorious. Even now, he felt like he was in a dream.
Seeing Lin Zhengying coming, Sammo Hung asked eagerly: Aying, how do you think this battle scene is good?
I'll read the script first.Lin Zhengying picked up the script and started reading it. He felt that Sammo Hung had been much more polite to him these days, but this kind of politeness made him extremely awkward.
After the increase in screenings of "Mr. Zombie", its money-making ability has been fully released.
The box office on the first day was 960,000, and the cumulative box office in the first week was 7.05 million. Such a terrifying box office has left others speechless.
Half a year ago, the box office of "The Junior Brother" and "Happy Ghost" was only about 8 million in two weeks!
In fact, Kang Jianfei himself did not expect this situation to happen.Because the box office of the original "Mr. Zombie" was only over 20 million in Hong Kong, and the ticket price of the movie at that time has doubled compared to now.
Even if it is because of the strong publicity and no competitors, Kang Jianfei thinks that the box office will be about 15 million.
But the current situation of "Mr. Zombie" is quite a sign of moving towards a box office of 20 million!
In fact, Kang Jianfei still underestimated the box office gain brought by the movie's super era. It's not that Hong Kong people are reluctant to spend money to watch movies, but the key point is whether this movie is worth it.
Just like two years later, "Best Partner" became the first movie to exceed 20 million, and it was directly more than 26 million, far exceeding other movies of the same period.
why is that?
Because "Best Partner" is well-produced, the audience is willing to buy tickets.
The same is true for "Mr. Zombie". There are almost no flaws in all aspects, and the genre and plot are extremely novel, which ultimately resulted in a terrifying box office revenue.
How popular is Mr. Zombie?
Even the host of the TV station and the columnist of the magazine inadvertently talked about "Mr. Zombie".
In order to increase the ratings of variety shows, Lidi TV specially invited the main creators of "Mr. Zombies" to be guests.
At first, the director of the variety show department called Kang Jianfei, but Kang Jianfei was quite revenge. Lishi had already made him unhappy if he didn't help him broadcast the premiere. Now he is too lazy to receive the call on Bird TV. He just said that he would hang up the phone when he was not free.
Kang Jianfei made a move, and Lishi became anxious. Huang Xizhao, the general manager of the TV station, actually called to invite him.
Only then did Kang Jianfei feel a little face and took his Tao Han to the TV station happily to let him slap a few times while recording the show.
"Movie Biweekly" issued a special issue specifically for "Mr. Zombies", calling it the leader in Hong Kong's New Wave films.And Kang Jianfei was suddenly named the representative figure of the director of Xinwatt.
Because of the great success of "Mr. Zombie", the zombie film has become completely popular.
Before "Mr. Zombie" was painted, three zombie films that followed the trend started filming at the same time. It is conceivable that there will be more follow-up works in the second half of the year.
Li Bihua, a female writer who is now well-known, wrote in her column: Kang Jianfei is a mysterious figure. His many abilities are unknown, but his actions are always unexpected.When he filmed "Happy Ghost", countless people followed the comedy ghost films; when he filmed "Mr. Zombie", countless people followed the zombie films.It seems that every thing he does can cause a trend, and I am looking forward to what his next movie will be...
Tens of millions of directors have returned strongly!
