Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

The midnight show is also called the preview show. Whether a film is popular or not can be roughly observed from the reaction of the midnight audience.

Xu Xiaoming:

"Ajing, the film should be good. I think the box office should be acceptable. I think it should be at least 800 million or more. There is hope for 1,000 million. At least the company should not lose money."

Wu Yusen:

"I think the movie is good and the box office should be guaranteed. Ajing's ability in this area is trustworthy."

Wang Jing:

"No one can predict the box office performance until it's done. I hope we don't screw it up."

Zhang Jialiang:

"Don't worry, Jing, I am very confident in the movie you made, I think the box office can reach 1,000 million.

If the box office can reach 1,000 million, I will give 8% of the profits from the Hong Kong market as a reward to all the staff of the "Flying Ghost" crew."

Wang Jing's eyes lit up when he heard about the reward. What he said just now was just modesty. He still had confidence in the movie and there was hope for a box office of 1,000 million.

“Is it true?

Zhang Sheng is really generous, so it’s settled. I’ll just wait for Zhang Sheng to give me the bonus.”

Zhang Jialiang:

“Of course, once a man has made his promise, it is hard to follow him!

Not only "The Flying Ghost" has bonuses, "A Better Tomorrow" also has bonuses. "

All the crew members have been paid their due salaries, and our own staff also receive a basic salary every month, which is much better than the treatment offered by outside film companies.

However, Zhang Jialiang gave out bonuses on purpose. He just wanted to boost the morale and enthusiasm of his employees by giving out bonuses.

After all, the company has just been established and he still needs to maintain it from many aspects. After a long time, when all employees have made money, everyone will have centripetal force.

While they were chatting, the door suddenly opened and Wang Yaozu walked in quickly with a statistical table, happily saying as he walked:

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Xu, and all colleagues, the box office for the midnight show has come out. After the summary, the box office for the midnight show is 98,000 yuan, which is not bad. It is considered to be in the upper middle level among all the movies this year."

Zhang Jialiang took the box office data summary from Wang Yaozu, glanced at it, and then handed it to Xu Xiaoming.

"The box office data for the midnight show is 98,000 yuan. With this data, is it possible for the total box office of this movie to reach 1,000 million?"

Wang Yaozu:

"There is still hope. No one can predict the total box office result, but there is still a good chance of getting 1,000 million.

No matter how you calculate it, the investment in the movie will be recovered and there will be no loss. The box office of 7 to 8 million is guaranteed."

Just as Wang Yaozu said, the box office data of "Flying Ghost" performed well afterwards.

第1天的票房是42万，第2天是45万，第1周的票房是285万，第2周的票房是278万，看来1,000万的票房是完全可以期待了。

At the same time as "The Flying Ghost" was released, Wu Yusen's "A Better Tomorrow" was finally completed, and then it was time for intense post-production.

The company's arrangement for "A Better Tomorrow" is to follow "The Flying Spurs", so that the company will have two movies in the entire summer season. If both are a hit, it will make a name for Brilliant Entertainment.

Among them, the theme song of "A Better Tomorrow" "The Love of Those Days" was created by the company together with James Wong and Ka Fai Koo. James Wong wrote the lyrics and Ka Fai Koo arranged the music, and then the company decided to let Li Ming sing it.

After the post-production was completed, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" has been promoted for more than a month, and will be screened in theaters immediately after "The Flying Spurs" is released.

After 40 days of screening, the final box office of "The Flying Ghost" was set at 1,078 million. Zhang Jialiang did not break his promise and gave 8% of the Hong Kong box office profits as a bonus to the "The Flying Ghost" crew.

The film company received 1,078 million of the 497 million box office revenue. The filming cost plus the publicity and promotion costs totaled 240 million, with a profit of 257 million.

270 57万的8%就是20万多一点，其中王京作为导演分得3万元的奖金，这样从《鬼马飞人》这部电影上王京的片酬加奖金，一共取得了13万元。

This was the most money he had ever made since he started making movies. He was very satisfied and happy to continue working with Brilliant Films.

Without the company's further urging, Wang Jing took the initiative to say that he would soon create the script for the next movie and would seize the time to shoot it.

After "The Flying Ghost" was taken off the air, "A Better Tomorrow" immediately followed and began to be shown in cinemas.

The investment cost of filming "A Better Tomorrow" was relatively high, but the script was well-written and the actors performed with great devotion. The film quickly resonated with the audience and the box office soared.

When the total box office data of the movie came out, it was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The box office of "A Better Tomorrow" reached an incredible 3400 million, temporarily becoming the box office champion of Hong Kong movies this year.

The popularity of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" quickly made the actors and actresses famous.

Of course, the one who benefited the most was the popular star Chow Yun-fat.

Originally, Chow Yun-fat's performance in "Flying Ghost" was good, and the movie had a box office of more than 1000 million, which can be said to have gotten rid of the reputation of "box office poison".

Now that "A Better Tomorrow" has a box office of 3,400 million, Chow Yun-fat has become even more popular.

His classic image in "A Better Tomorrow", sunglasses and windbreaker, suddenly became a fashion pursued by young people in Hong Kong, and young people competed to imitate it.

In the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, groups of young people were dressed in sunglasses and windbreakers. This immediately became a trend in Hong Kong and quickly spread outward.

Chow Yun-fat's salary and value also increased accordingly. His original salary of only around 5 yuan suddenly soared to 30 yuan.

However, even with such a high pay, the film companies that want to sign a contract are queuing up tightly.

Chow Yun-fat then starred in Wang Jingxin's script "Modern Cinderella", and the sequel to "A Better Tomorrow" "A Better Tomorrow 2" was also about to start filming, so he had no schedule at least in 85.

In fact, not only Chow Yun-fat became famous overnight, but Ti Lung also made a comeback, climbed out of the trough and stood up again.

Many companies also came to us with scripts, but Dillon's schedule was full this year. He was going to star in the sequel of "A Better Tomorrow" and "Knife of the Assassin", which Zhang Jialiang and Xu Xiaoming had already discussed. He also has two movies.

And Zhou Xingchi is now somewhat famous. He will also participate in "A Better Tomorrow 2" and "Knife of the Assassin" next.

After more than two years, Lu Xiuling finally made her mark in the Hong Kong film industry. She will next star in "A Better Tomorrow 2" and Wang Jing's "Modern Cinderella".

Wang Zuxian made a good start when she first came to Hong Kong. She made a good appearance in Hong Kong through "Flying Ghost". Next, she will star in "The Swordsman".

As soon as she joined the company, Anita Mui became the company's favorite and played the leading female role in "Modern Cinderella" directed by Wang Jing, which also satisfied her wish to enter the big screen.

For a while, Lan Jieying was in a very good mood, and her relationship with Zhang Jialiang also progressed by leaps and bounds.

As for Li Ming, Li Keqin, and Zhou Huimin who has already graduated, they mainly received music education and training from Dai Sicong.

At the same time, they also participate in the filming of the company's films, but they only take on small supporting roles or extras, mainly to gain experience, hone skills and prepare for the future.
