When the theme song of "Happy Ghost" played at the end, the entire audience in the screening hall spontaneously applauded. The movie they just watched made them laugh heartily, so naturally they would not hesitate to applaud at this time.
"Happy Ghost" is not so much a comedy ghost film as it is a youth campus comedy. Today's Hong Kong films are filled with a large number of kung fu films, and the rest are just some costume martial arts films, romance films, and street films.
, fashion comedies. There are also youth campus movies, but they are all romantic and artistic films, and there are almost no campus comedies.
"Happy Ghost" is not only a rare youth campus comedy, but also adds the gimmick of ghosts, which naturally gives the audience unprecedented surprise and joy.
Feeling the huge and loud applause around him, Wu Chenggang finally let out the suffocation he had been holding in his chest for a long time. He smiled at Kang Jianfei and said: "A Fei, it seems that this movie will do well at the box office. You don't have to worry about Boss Lei not being able to get off the stage."
"I hope the box office can exceed 10 million." Kang Jianfei also regained his confidence at this time and figured out the reason for the low attendance at today's premiere.
Because while "Happy Ghost" is being highly publicized, Golden Harvest has not fallen behind. Although the promotion momentum of "Happy Ghost" has been overwhelming "Junior Brother", Kang Jianfei is a new director after all, and Cheng Long has just won the box office of the previous year.
The popular movie star of the championship.
People have consumption inertia, just like they will choose familiar stores when buying things. Audiences also have movie-watching inertia. Most viewers will still choose Cheng Long's "Junior Brother" first, and give "Happy Ghost" a wait-and-see attitude.
Attitude. That's why it happened that the theater of "Junior Brother" was full on the premiere day, while the average attendance rate of "Happy Ghost" was only more than 50%.
From another perspective, it can also be understood that Cheng Long has a lot of box office appeal, while Kang Jianfei's box office appeal is temporarily zero - it cannot be ruled out that die-hard "Qin Qin Ji" fans will buy tickets.
Kang Jianfei's casual remarks shocked Wu Chenggang and said in surprise: "You really dare to say that there hasn't been a movie in Hong Kong with a box office of more than 8 million for decades, and you actually want a box office of tens of millions. I see.
Five million dollars for your movie is considered good, and you can earn more than 1 million in one go."
Liang Ying clicked her tongue after hearing this and said: "More than 1 million, enough for me to sell offal for a lifetime."
The audience had already begun to leave, and Kang Jianfei also stood up and said: "Ten million is not much. "Happy Ghost" was screened in 18 theaters. It would be embarrassing if it only made 5 million at the box office. Besides, I just caught up with the good times.
After New Year's Day, Hong Kong movie ticket prices will collectively increase by one-third, which will increase box office figures a lot."
When Wu Chenggang thought that Kang Jianfei's movie would have a box office of over 10 million, he felt it was too outrageous and shook his head and said nothing.
Wen Bixia walked out of the theater holding Kang Jianfei's arm. Someone immediately recognized her and shouted: "It's Lin Xiaohua, I saw Lin Xiaohua!"
As soon as this shout came out, many viewers who had just watched the movie immediately turned around. More than a dozen young viewers even rushed over, surrounded Wen Bixia and said, "Lin Xiaohua, please sign your name for me."
Kang Jianfei couldn't laugh or cry, and Wen Bixia already has many fans. Unfortunately, these fans don't remember her real name, they only know the name of her character in the movie.
Wen Bixia was confused. Although she often fantasized about what it would be like when she became a big star, when the moment actually came, she had no mental preparation at all. She just stood there stupidly, holding on tightly.
Kang Jianfei didn't dare to let go of his arms.
Kang Jianfei patted the back of Wen Bixia's hand, then leaned into her ear and whispered in her ear: "Smile and sign for them."
"Oh." Wen Bixia reacted with a stiff smile on her face, then took the pen and signed the names that she had been practicing for many days for the fans.
There were not many people with pens and notebooks. It only took two minutes to sign, but more and more people came around.
Kang Jianfei quickly protected Wen Bixia and walked out, shouting as he walked: "Everyone, make way, everyone, make way, this is the entrance to the theater, and other people watching the movie will be blocked!"
Previously, everyone's attention was on Wen Bixia, but now that Kang Jianfei spoke, someone recognized him as the second male lead in the film, and said in surprise: "He is Joseph, Lin Xiaohua's boyfriend in the movie!"
"Wow, are they really dating?" someone else exclaimed.
"Maybe they started falling in love while filming the movie," another speculated.
"Lin Xiaohua is mine, you Chen Shimei, get out of here!" A man rushed over with grief and anger.
"..."
Although Kang Jianfei is very famous, the exposure rate of his photos is not high. Most people only know his name but not the person. It is pity that he is a director, but he is only regarded as an ordinary actor who plays the second male lead, and he has to face Wen Bi
The hostility of many fans.
Kang Jianfei and Wen Bixia escaped in embarrassment. Those who had not watched "Happy Ghost" witnessed this scene and asked the audience coming out of the theater: "Is "Happy Ghost" good?"
"It's good-looking, comparable to Xu Guanwen's comedy films!"
"so smart?"
"Why isn't it awesome? My stomach hurt from laughing while watching the movie, and the guy behind me sprayed popcorn all over my head."
"Hey, man, who were you chasing just now?"
"Lin Xiaohua, the heroine of "Happy Ghost". There is also a heroine named Lin Jingjing, who is more beautiful than Lin Xiaohua!"
"..."
Kang Jianfei and Wen Bixia escaped from the crowd and ran straight to a street before stopping.
"Huh huh..." Wen Bixia panted and hung onto Kang Jianfei's shoulders. After her breathing calmed down, she raised her head and asked, "Brother, have I really become a star?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and smiled: "Yes, big star, those people just now were all your fans."
Wen Bixia said happily: "I ran all the way here just now, and my mind went blank. It still feels like a dream."
Kang Jianfei hailed a taxi and said, "Okay, get in the car quickly. After the Chinese New Year, there will probably be many directors looking for you to make movies, and you will be very busy by then."
After getting in the car, Wen Bixia snuggled into Kang Jianfei's arms and asked, "Then I can make a lot of money?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Well, your salary will be different after you become famous. If you make a movie and the salary is less than 100,000 yuan, don't pay attention to him."
Wen Bixia, who was in Kang Jianfei's arms, froze up, swallowed and trembled: "10...0,000!"
"100,000 is still a small amount. If the box office of "Happy Ghost" exceeds 10 million, the salary quotation must be at least 300,000," Kang Jianfei said.
The salary of 300,000 yuan was already very high for Hong Kong actresses at this time. For example, Zhao Yazhi served as the heroine in two consecutive box office champion movies, "Half a Category Eight Liang" and "Fa Qian Han", but her movie salary
It was only around 100,000, and it didn’t rise to 200,000 until "Shanghai Beach" became a hit.
The reason why it is so low is because most of Zhao Yazhi in these movies is a vase character. But Wen Bixia is different, because "Happy Ghost" is a girl's movie, and with the halo of a box office of over 10 million, the opening price is 300,000.
The pay is very suitable.
For example, after filming "The Drunken Master" and "The Snake", Cheng Long's salary increased significantly and directly exceeded 1 million. Then "Laughing Fist" won the annual box office championship and became a hit overseas.
The salary at that time has reached 3 million.
In another time and space, after Cheng Long's "Junior Brother" became a hit, his salary increased to a terrifying 4.8 million, crushing all actors in Hong Kong at the same time.
As the protagonist of a movie with a box office of over 10 million yuan, Wen Bixia's asking price of 300,000 yuan is not high.
Of course, RMB 300,000 was just the asking price. When it came time to take the role, the script was suitable for RMB 100,000 and RMB 80,000. After all, Wen Bixia was just a newcomer who had just made a movie.
The taxi was driving fast on the street. When Wen Bixia thought that she could earn hundreds of thousands by making a movie in the future, she was so excited that she trembled with excitement. She raised her head and kissed Kang Jianfei on the face, and said gratefully: "Brother,
Thank you!"

Lei Juekun has gone home to rest, and Li Maowen is still waiting in the office. He wants to wait for feedback from theater audiences.
"Bang!"
The door of the office suddenly opened, and Li Maowen's assistant rushed in, breathing heavily and saying with joy: "Manager, good news, the audience's response was very enthusiastic. When "Happy Ghost" was shown, the theater was full of people.
Laughing."
"Oh," Li Maowen was overjoyed, but he felt a little awkward because he had never liked the movie "Happy Ghost". Could it be that he was mistaken? He waved and said, "Keep asking people to stare.
No, I’ll go and see for myself!”
