    The box office of more than 9 million is definitely a very good result for the follow-up to "Looking for the Devil in the Ghost Mansion". Although Liu Zhenwei's film is not as high as his "Ghost Mansion", it is still a good result for a movie.  For a small-production ghost film farce, this is definitely a very high figure. Such a box office figure also directly allowed the film to recover its cost in Hong Kong, and even more than doubled the profit.

    Such a figure can only be ranked second among the movies released at the same time. The first place is Ghost Bride, a film produced by Zhou Runfa and Jiahe. Fa Ge's appeal is basically unparalleled.  It is incomparable. The box office of more than 22 million yuan is also the best in the entire schedule. It is also a ghost movie, but it is more than 13 million yuan higher than the farce like Mansion. Of course, the shooting cost of this film is also  Very high. Fa Ge himself received a salary of 5 million, and Hong Gu. Now her net worth has risen to a million, which means that the salary of the two of them alone has reached 6 million.  Including other actors' remuneration and filming expenses, the cost of this film is more than 8 million, which means that this 22 million box office movie can easily recover its cost in Hong Kong.

    Of course, this does not mean that the box office of this movie is not as good as that of low-budget slapstick ghost films like Ghost Mansion. The combination of Zhou Runfa and Hong Gu became popular throughout Southeast Asia because of this autumn fairy tale. The two of them are also gold medal screen actors.  Behind-the-scenes couples have many fans in Southeast Asia.  The high box office of this film also drives the high box office in Southeast Asia. The share in Southeast Asia can be regarded as pure profit. It is not a problem for a film to earn more than tens of millions, and it is even possible to earn two thousand.  Around 10,000.  The Mansion of Hell can only earn a few million at most in Southeast Asia. Overall, this movie can make a profit of five million, which is pretty good.

    And closely behind the Menggui Building is the Jealous Man in Xinyi City. It is only a few hundred thousand away from the Menggui Building, and this film also belongs to Hong Gu.  It's just that this movie doesn't particularly highlight Hong Gu, nor can she show off her acting skills. The main support should be Huang Baiming. One of the bosses of this new art city is a multi-talented actor like Yan Xu.  Yes, he is particularly good at playing that kind of little man. His performance also made the whole movie full of laughter. Such a box office figure.  The cost can be recovered in Hong Kong, and hundreds of thousands more can be earned.

    As for Debao's The Magical Heroines, Yinfeng's The Legend of the Floating World and Yindu's The Legend of the Beautiful Girl, except for The Magical Girl, which was pretty good, they received more than 7 million at the box office, and their income was basically the same. The other two  All the films were unsatisfactory, especially The Story of a Beautiful Girl. After being screened for more than ten days, it only earned more than one million yuan at the box office. It can be said to be a disastrous box office failure.  Even though there were no famous actors in it, it was completely impossible to recover the cost at that time.

    Of course, it is worth mentioning that Beyond also made a cameo in this movie. Now Dragon Film Company has a very good relationship with the mainland, so it also has an attitude of strengthening cooperation with the state-owned Yindu Dragon Film Company.

    And after painting the Menggui Building.  Following closely behind is Halloween. In recent years, this Western festival has gradually affected Hong Kong.

    At this time, Dragon Clan released the third part of the Dragon Clan movie series Yin Yang Road.  There have been two movies in this series, both of which have achieved good results, and can be regarded as one of Dragon Clan's signature movies.

    The box office is more than 9 million.  That is to be expected. This series of movies has already had a certain impact on young people in Hong Kong. No matter what kind of movie you encounter, just relying on its appeal among Hong Kong teenagers, as long as it is not  It's particularly shoddy, the ghost story is slightly novel, and coupled with the traditional elements that have existed since the first film, it can definitely achieve good results.

    Of course, although the Dragons movies in this period have done well, they are not particularly outstanding. The Wrong Mark, The Provincial and Hong Kong Cavalry Sequel, and The Beautiful Man can all be regarded as mid-level movies, and these three movies also have a star-studded cast.  It's like a mislabeled ginseng. Not only does the eldest brother Da Sanmao, but also A B, and Xiao Xian, a former member of the Dragon Clan, star in it. It's a very simple plot, but because of the existence of these three people, on the day of release, it was  It was a great song, and the box office finally stayed at more than 13 million, which is considered a very good result.

    The sequel of The Provincial and Hong Kong Cavalry is a movie that has attracted much attention. It is produced by the movie madman Mak Fangxiong. The high box office and high topicality of the first Provincial and Hong Kong Cavalry have destined the continuation of this sequel. In addition,  Wan Ziliang, who played one of the leading roles in the movie last year, has been famous in several movies of Yongsheng. This movie also has a slightly higher box office than the historical one. It also has a box office result of more than 13 million yuan, which is similar to that of Wan Ziliang.  The difference is only tens of thousands of dollars.

    Relative toThese two movies have attracted everyone's attention, and the one that is a little surprising is Hongtai's Beautiful Man. This is the first movie shot by this film company since its establishment, but whether it is the director, screenwriter, or actor,  They are all well-known figures in the industry, but for a film like this to have a box office of tens of millions, it can be said to be a miracle.

    As for the remaining movies in the same period, including The Devil, The Flash, The Legend of Jianghu, and People's Heroes, although there are some first- and second-tier stars starring in them, the movies follow the trend seriously and the plots are not particularly attractive.  , each one can be said to have a dismal ending.

    Especially The Devil is High, a film produced by Eagle Film Production Company. From director to screenwriter, Huang Ying, one of the screenwriters of Mr. Soldier, was single-handedly responsible. He also founded this film company. In order to make this film  For this film, he borrowed a lot of money from Lao Xin, and also put Xiang Lao Shi's name on the list of producers. However, such an ambitious film by him is in a completely different situation from Hongtai's handsome man.  , it was a disaster as soon as it was released, and it had to be canceled just seven days after it was released due to the dismal box office. The box office results just exceeded one million. Such a number will definitely make Huang Ying deeply in debt.  It also paved the way for this famous writer and screenwriter to be jumped off a building by loan shark Peter a few years later.

    For such a talented writer and screenwriter, Yan Xu must of course want to win over the Dragon Clan, but Huang Ying is not at his poorest period yet, and he does not have a clear understanding of his own abilities, and his ambition is still special.  Yuanda, so he declined Yan Xu's invitation very tactfully. Although his company's first movie failed, he is also planning a second one.

    After this period, the competition among various companies has become a little quieter, because Christmas is coming soon, and most companies have focused their energy on that, which has made the entire competition in the past ten days  Calm down, the only outstanding movie is Baohe's Mr. Phantom. Lin Zhengying became famous with a series of zombie movies such as Mr. Zombie. Although there are many follow-up movies, he is also the guarantee for fantasy movies.  , with no rivals, the box office of 19.4 million ranked it 13th in the box office rankings.

    As for the same period, Longzu finally successfully released a film that had been shot for a long time, even so long that Yan Xu almost forgot about it. This was Longzu¡¯s first art film. Such a film is not suitable for the audience in Hong Kong.  A lot, with a box office of more than 5 million. Compared with some stars and a long filming period, it is even unaffordable. It is also the lowest figure among all the movies since the opening of "Dragon". But for such a movie,  In the circle, especially among the film critics, there was a lot of praise. Directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, music, leading actors and actresses, and art directors all gave high praises. This also made Yan Xu compare  Happily, although this movie won't make any money, it would be nice to get a few nominations for The Dragon at the Academy Awards, and even win an award.

    Of course, it was also because of Yan Xu's huge gains from the stock market crash that his true state of mind changed. He was no longer just for making money. For him, even if he was spending lavishly, he would not be able to spend it in a few lifetimes.  That's it. Now he wants to make the company he founded more brilliant and gain a little reputation internationally.

    That is to say, when the final victory was drawn, Christmas also arrived. Although Hong Kong is not as fiercely competitive as the United States in this period, it is also the beginning of the Spring Festival period. Many film companies hope to be able to  Such a period brings a perfect end to the previous year and creates a good start for the next year.

    In such a schedule, this year is completely different, because several large film companies are divided among themselves, and they have not rushed to take the first step. It is a few small films that have started the war.  company.

    The character of Li Ren as a traitor should be regarded as the first hit. Although the cast is not very strong, the main actors are still well-known. When you see them, you will think of a comedy family movie. Among the Xu brothers  Although Xu Guanying, the third child, is the worst-looking among the four brothers, his face is a joke. And the escort, the rich and powerful guy he starred in last year is the biggest one in the film industry.  Dark horse.  (To be continued.)
