Hong Kong movies: What era is this? Are you still playing the dwarf mule game?

Chapter 147

The premiere of "A Better Tomorrow" was a huge success.

The next day, major media outlets began to report on the premiere and asserted that this movie would likely become the first work in Hong Kong to break the 10 million box office.

This speculation made the entire Hong Kong Island boil.

Then, the box office data for the first day was quickly released. Since it was a premiere held at night, major cinema chains could only arrange two screenings.

But even so, with an attendance rate of over 90%, the box office on that day still raked in 1 million!

This number is amazing.

However, it is embarrassing that among the more than 100,000 moviegoers in Hong Kong Island, 80% were Young and Dangerous.

And among the remaining 20% ​​of the audience, except for a few film critics and ordinary citizens, most of them were people who had direct or indirect relationships with Young and Dangerous.

But who cares about this kind of thing? The box office is real box office.

At the same time, film critics spared no effort to write their pens and praise the movie.

They praised the wonderfulness of the movie without hesitation, as if they wanted to use up all the beautiful words.

After all, who wants to offend those young and dangerous guys?

Moreover, some well-known film critics also received the fee from Longteng, which made them praise the movie even more vigorously.

Everyone lifts the big sedan chair, you are good, I am good, and he is good.

What's more, this movie can really be called a good masterpiece.

Due to the hard praise of major media, the box office soared to 4 million yuan on the second day.

On the third day, although it fell back, it also remained above 3 million yuan.

The violent aesthetics of this director Wu Da really crushed the movies of the same period on many levels.

On the fourth day, the box office had another small climax, directly breaking through 4.5 million yuan, and many people who had already watched it once started to watch it again and again.

However, how true are these two and three times? But it did not affect the box office of this hero's character, which broke through 10 million on the fourth day of its release.

and Liansheng.

"Boss, do you have to be so ruthless? It's only been 4 days and the box office has exceeded 10 million. Do you really think that the foreigners' Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Monetary Authority are freeloaders?" Lin Yi complained to Da D.

Da D couldn't close his mouth with laughter.

"Ayi, I'm sorry, you know that the society has received a lot of money recently. This is just the opportunity,"

"Boss, you should know when to stop. This is not a one-time deal, but a long-term deal. You made such a big deal for the first time. What if the police target you in the future?"

"Don't do it again, don't do it again. Ayi, you are capable. I believe you can solve this problem.

I will take 10% of the account this time and invest it in your Longteng, as a preparation fund for the next work." Da D also felt a little embarrassed.

Since Da D said so, what else can Lin Yi do? He can only bear it obediently.

"Boss, how much money did you prepare this time?" Lin Yi suddenly asked curiously.

"Not much, not much." Big D held up two fingers. "Only about 20 million."

Lin Yi: ...

If eyes could kill, Big D would have been killed hundreds of times by Lin Yi's eyes.

This time, it can be said that he, Lin Yi, was really pushed to the forefront.

However, this is also the first time that a film in Hong Kong was released simultaneously in Shaw Cinemas, Golden Harvest Cinemas, Golden Princess Cinemas, and Shuangnan Cinemas.

Lin Yi's background, coupled with such achievements, seems to be able to make it through.

And Lin Yi also directly crossed the threshold of a screenwriter worth tens of millions and became the first screenwriter in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Island Independent Commission Against Corruption.

In the office of Chief Investigator Lu Zhilian.

Lu Zhilian looked at the newspaper on the table and frowned.

A film about a gangster society, the producer is a gang member, the investors have close ties with the gang, and even the actors are several gang members.

Such a movie has already made over 10 million yuan in box office in just 4 days.

What's even more outrageous is that more than 95% of the moviegoers are gang members, or people who have direct or indirect relations with gang members.

If there is no trick, then Lu Zhilian might as well buy a piece of tofu and die.

Intuitively, he smelled the smell of the shady deal.

However, this kind of thing is basically impossible to investigate because it involves too many people.

A big red circle was drawn on Lin Yi's head portrait on the newspaper.

The ICAC will focus on this person in the future.Although Da D has slowed down the box office investment under Lin Yi's reminder.

But even so, in less than half a month before the premiere, the box office easily broke through the 20 million mark and began to move towards 30 million.

Longteng Pictures.

"Brother Hao, do you know how popular you are now? Why not change your career to make movies?" Lin Yi teased.

"Okay, boss, you can find a manager for yourself, and I just need to take a break for a while." Song Zihao said with lingering fear.

In the past, wherever he went, he was the focus of the police.

Now, no matter where he goes, there are a group of entertainment reporters holding spotlights around him.

Song Zihao is no longer tired of it.

Hearing that Song Zihao was going to give up, Lin Yi's face fell all of a sudden.

"Brother Hao, don't, it's just a joke." Lin Yi said embarrassedly.

Then, he patted Zhou Ruifa's shoulder and said, "Afa, you are famous now, what are your plans?"

Zhou Ruifa said jokingly, "I am so famous now, boss, you should give me a raise."

When he was in TVB, Zhou Ruifa was paid.

That's right, he was paid, not a share of the box office.

After a play, according to the current rules and regulations, Zhou Ruifa only got less than 10,000 yuan.

It also includes a special subsidy of 3,000 yuan from Lin Yi.

As for Hua Zai, he only got a basic living allowance.

Of course, this play is a big hit, and his basic living allowance can also increase a little.

"Okay, since you asked, then I will definitely meet your request."

Zhou Ruifa was transferred to Longteng by Shao Laoliu, and Lin Yi signed a 5-year contract with Brother Fa.

In other words, in these 5 years, Brother Fa's income depends entirely on the mood of Boss Lin.

"Afa, from now on, your monthly salary will be fixed at 10,000 yuan. In addition, you will get 10% of the box office share of each play after deducting the cost. Is that okay?

Of course, you also know how our box office works. So, your box office share does not include this part." Lin Yi said meaningfully.
