It turned out to be 80,000 Hong Kong dollars higher than the previous day’s box office!
Such box office results have made some people feel helpless. No one expected that this foreign film could continuously achieve such good results in Hong Kong.
However, no matter how good things are, some people like to sing the opposite. For example, some people are now pointing out that the reason why this movie has achieved such a high box office is simply because of the support of Fengge Cinemas, which is jointly released in 26 theaters of Fengge Cinemas.
This is a rare thing for a movie in Fengge Cinema.
However, these discussions are no longer lethal to Wu Jianye. After the tough fight with the Hong Kong Film Awards, the movie "The Last Emperor" has become popular in Hong Kong. Coupled with its impressive strength, it has become popular in Hong Kong.
A trend has formed.
Chung Shang-chi is a white-collar worker in Central. She is aware of the movie "The Last Emperor", but has never watched it. She prefers some romance movies rather than such biographical movies.
She went to work as usual today, but when she walked into the office, she heard people around her discussing the movie. Of course, they had agreed to it.
"This movie is great. Whether it's the detailed character description or the shooting of the battle scenes, you can feel the director's skill!" This is the opinion expressed by a male colleague.
"Yes, Zun Long in there is so handsome, I like him so much!" A female colleague said with red eyes and a nymphomaniac.
"If you ask me, the character Wen Xiu in it must be beautiful. It's a pity that there is too little screen time!"
"Is Wenxiu alone beautiful? I feel that Puyi's wives are all quite beautiful. Why do you think Xiangjiang has abolished monogamy?"
"Huh, even if you are monogamous, you can't afford to marry. Has the house been sold?"
"I said, what do you guys look like? What's so interesting about a movie like that? It took so long that I almost felt like sleeping. It was so boring and not funny at all!" Some people expressed different views.
But whether it's praise or criticism, everyone regards this movie as their own talking point.
This made Zhong Shangzi, who had not watched the movie, feel a little unable to integrate into it. Soon a colleague asked her what she thought of the movie. Zhong Shangzi had no choice but to nod and respond vaguely.
But she has decided that she must go and watch this movie after work.
It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, what's important is that it has something in common with everyone.
This kind of situation happens in many places in Hong Kong. When this movie became a topic, it was hard to think whether it would become popular.
Therefore, the box office on the third day still did not drop much, 3.32 million Hong Kong dollars!
After three days of screening, the box office of "The Last Emperor" has exceeded 10 million Hong Kong dollars, reaching 10.46 million Hong Kong dollars!
After this box office came out, it was enough to surprise the entire Hong Kong film industry.
“‘The Last Emperor’ was a box office hit!”
"Is the success of "The Last Emperor" in Hong Kong due to the theater chain or the quality of the film?"
"How did "The Last Emperor" capture audiences with polarizing reviews?"
Various discussions followed.
These discussions also maintain the popularity of "The Last Emperor".
However, as movies continue to be played, the number of theaters will inevitably slowly decrease, and the box office will also inevitably decrease.
Day 4: 2.68 million!
Day 5: 2.25 million!
Day 6: 1.89 million!
Day 7: 1.57 million!
.......
"The Last Emperor" was released in Hong Kong for a total of 23 days, and its total box office exceeded HK$30.3 million!
But that is all for the future, and it is impossible for Wu Jianye to stay in Xiangjiang for a long time. When the time comes in May, Wu Jianye will take the crew of "The Last Emperor" to Cannes to participate in the film festival.
"The Last Emperor" has officially entered the main competition of the Cannes Film Festival!
Fanling, Royal Heung Kong Golf Course!
The Royal Hong Kong Golf Club, like the Jockey Club, is the oldest association in Hong Kong. It is even more mysterious than the Jockey Club in Hong Kong. Being a member here means you are either rich or noble in Hong Kong, with memberships in the millions.
Hong Kong dollar, but later in 1996, in order to avoid the impact of the return of Hong Kong, the word "Royal" was removed and replaced by Hong Kong Golf Club.
In fact, it is just a change of soup rather than medicine.
Li Ren, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Zhao Shizeng and other business giants are members here. For a period of time, Li Ren came here to play nine holes almost every day.
Wu Jianye is naturally not a member here, but under the leadership of Guo Desheng, there is no problem in entering here.
"Wu Sheng, what do you think? Do you want me to be the intermediary and apply for a membership here?" Zheng Yutong handed the golf club in his hand to the caddy next to him and asked with a smile.
Today can be regarded as Wu Jianye's official appearance in front of these rich people in Hong Kong.
As the real owners of Yaoguang Group, Zheng Yutong and others cannot ignore the existence of Wu Jianye, especially since Yu Zhi Investment, a subsidiary of Yaoguang Group, is the major shareholder of their company.
Playing golf and talking about business are the most normal things for these people.
From the club building to the management of the golf club, the golf course has always maintained a strong British style. The design of the golf course is also a typical park type. There is even a helicopter landing pad on the golf course. The most impressive thing is the vicissitudes of ancient trees all over the golf course.
It's so full of history.
"I'd better forget it. I don't spend much time in Xiangjiang in a year, and to be honest, I don't have much interest in playing golf!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"Haha, Wu Sheng is really quick to talk!" Li Zhaoji is the youngest among these people, and he speaks more casually.
"I'm just telling the truth. Everyone present is a master. Even if I don't say anything, everyone will be able to see it when we start fighting."
Then Zheng Yutong laughed and said: "Wu Sheng doesn't like playing golf, so what if it's playing cards? I wonder if he's interested?"
Wu Jianye was slightly stunned, knowing what Zheng Yutong was talking about playing cards. Although there are various chambers of commerce in Xiangjiang, individual rich people also have their own small circles, such as Zheng Yutong's Big D Club!
Although there is no official announcement of the Big D Meeting, everyone knows that such a small organization exists, and everyone usually communicates with each other through the unique card game of hoeing the earth in Hong Kong.
Early members included Zheng Yutong, Li Ren, Li Zhaoji, He Hongshen and others. Later, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Shoucheng, and Evergrande's Xu Jiayin were added.
Later, Xu Jia Printing Exhibition at Evergrande received help from members of the Big D Association.
In 2008, Xu Jiayin took over 33 projects in mainland China in order to list Evergrande. In addition to investing in some land, Evergrande's capital gap exceeded 1 billion.
At that time, the financial crisis came, and Evergrande was even worse. The original valuation of Evergrande was over 1,000 million, but suddenly no one cared about it, and there was no hope for Evergrande to go public. Xu Jiayin was so worried that he ran to Xiangjiang to find reinforcements. Xu Jiayin got to know Xu Jiayin because he had some cooperation with the Emperor.
Emperor boss Yang Shoucheng.
Later, under the introduction of Yang Shoucheng, Xu Jiayin met Zheng Yutong, Liu Luanxiong and others. Xu Jiayin was not good at Cantonese and Zheng Yutong was not good at Mandarin, but the two communicated very well in the poker game. Zheng Yutong recognized Xu Jiayin very much, so he teamed up with Liu Luanxiong and other big players.
Member of the association, invested US$500 million in Xu Jiayin.
Helping Xu Jiayin India overcome the difficulties, and later helping Evergrande to be listed in Hong Kong, only then can Evergrande's future development be achieved. Xu Jiayin can be regarded as joining the big conference.
Although the Big D Club did not admit its existence, the transactions between these rich people are real. Evergrande once spent 12.5 billion to buy the Xiangjiang American Wantong Building under Liu Luanxiong Chinese Real Estate. The scene was also
It became the Evergrande Building. In addition, Evergrande also spent more than 200 million to take over 6 projects in the mainland of Zheng Yutong's New World.
Xu Jiayin also transferred the shares of Shengjing Bank held by Evergrande to Chinese Real Estate. Evergrande also invested in the acquisition of 92% of the shares of Shancheng Zhongyu.
Zhang Songqiao of Zhongyu was once known as the Li man of Shancheng and was also a member of the Dahui...
In fact, the Taishan Society, Jiangnan Society, Huaxia Alumni Association, Dongxing Dinner, etc. that later emerged in China were all inspired by the conference.
Wu Jianye thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "I am somewhat interested in playing cards, but my card skills are definitely not comparable to those of others, so everyone must be lenient when the time comes!"
When they heard that Wu Jianye agreed to play cards with everyone, everyone smiled knowingly. There was no need to point out some things, as long as everyone knew what they meant.
There are too many secrets about Wu Jianye. These rich people have no idea what Wu Jianye's trump card is. Whether on the battlefield or in the business field, what they fear most is not knowing the details of their opponents.
Fortunately, since the establishment of Yaoguang Group, everyone has been coexisting peacefully with each other, and there has not been much commercial dispute. Although it is inevitable to compete with each other in the business field, for example, Li Ren and Li Zhaoji, two good friends, also have
Sometimes there will be big fights over some business matters.
But this is just a commercial competition. Xiangjiang businessmen in this era pay more attention to the fact that commercial competition is commercial competition, and personal friendship is personal friendship.
Therefore, after competition, there will also be cooperation, and there will be an extra favor besides interests...
Now Zheng Yutong and others just want to establish such a friendship with Wu Jianye!
Afterwards, everyone did not talk about business matters, but simply talked about the current business situation. Wu Jianye mostly listened to what everyone said and did not express his opinion.
In the evening, everyone played cards at Zheng Yutong's villa in Repulse Bay. Waiting for the game was Liu Luanxiong, a newly emerging rich man in Hong Kong.
Although Liu Luanxiong got his start by not recognizing his relatives in the stock market, Zheng Yutong played a very important role in his family's development, so Liu Luanxiong respected Zheng Yutong very much.
Being able to be respected by a powerful man like Liu Luanxiong is enough to show Zheng Yutong's mind...
As Wu Jianye said, he is really not familiar with hoeing the earth, he only knows how to play it.
Facing these veterans, naturally we will lose more and win less.
However, what surprised Wu Jianye was that He Hongshen, the famous gambling king of Haojiang, had bad poker skills. He was the one who lost the most besides Wu Jianye.
"Haha, just kidding, playing cards is really not my strong point." He Hongshen said with a nonchalant smile.
Wu Jianye said: "If this spreads out, I'm afraid many people won't believe it!"
Everyone laughed again.
Wu Jianye also admired their energy very much. A group of people in their 50s and 60s played all night, and no one was seen to be depressed. In the morning, everyone had breakfast at Zheng Yutong's villa before officially leaving.
Wu Jianye's villa was adjacent to the villas of Zheng Yutong and He Hongshen. The two walked out of Zheng Yutong's villa together, followed by their driver.
"The two of us can be regarded as brothers in need!" He Hongshen said with a smile.
One of them lost 720,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the other lost 650,000 Hong Kong dollars. They are not brothers in distress.
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly and said: "I still can't accept that He Sheng's poker skills are so good..."
"If Mr. Wu has the opportunity to come to Haojiang in the future, he must notify him in advance!" He Hongshen said as he walked to the door of He Hongshen's villa.
"When the time comes, He Sheng, just don't find me troublesome!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
.......
After returning to the villa, Wu Jianye had a good rest for a day. During this period, he put in a lot of energy because of the release of "The Last Emperor". If it hadn't been for the joint invitation of these rich people in Xiangjiang yesterday, Wu Jian would have been someone else.
Ye really might refuse directly.
He slept until noon before Wu Jianye woke up.
"Lunch is ready. Come and eat after washing up!" Gong Yin said with a smile.
Although Wu Jianye also hired servants, Gong Yin still liked to cook for Wu Jianye himself.
Sitting at the dining table, Gong Yin asked: "Are you still going out in the afternoon?"
"No, I will spend the whole afternoon with you!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Gong Yin showed a hint of sadness: "Are you leaving soon?"
"Well, the Cannes Film Festival is about to start. Let's go there in advance to see if we can get in touch with businessmen in Europe!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Although Phantom Entertainment has begun to penetrate into the business of the industry, the European market has not been fully opened. There is no way to do this. At this time, Hollywood movies have not yet completely conquered the global film market, especially the European market which favors literature and art at this time.
piece.
Seeing Gong Ying's disappointed expression, Wu Jianye comforted him: "I will come to Xiangjiang in a while!"
"real!"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Wu Jianye laughed.
Gong Yin: "Haha!"
Wu Jianye: "..."
As for why Wu Jianye still comes to Hong Kong, it is naturally to cope with the global financial crisis that will break out this year!
The financial crisis that broke out in 1987 is the most important battle for Yaoguang Group this year, and Wu Jianye will naturally take charge of it personally.
After spending the afternoon with Gong Yin in the villa, Wu Jianye went to see Zhou Huimin again the next day.
Then he, Zhao Fei and others got on the plane to Cannes.
