The box office on the first day was 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and this result was quite good.

You should know that when Bruce Lee's "The Dragon and the Tiger" was released on the same day, the box office on the first day was only HK$350,000.

Moreover, "Dragon and Tiger Fight" was screened in 18 theaters under Jiahe, while "Snake-shaped Hand" was only released in 16 theaters.

This shows how amazing the box office of "The Snake-shaped Hand" is, almost comparable to Bruce Lee's last work "The Dragon and the Tiger".

The release of the masterpiece "The Snake-shaped Hand" also caused the box office of "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan" and "The Story of Ah Fu" to drop significantly.

For example, the box office of "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan" dropped from 13,500 Hong Kong dollars the day before to only 110,000 Hong Kong dollars, down nearly one-seventh; the box office of "The Story of Ah Fu" dropped from 13,200 Hong Kong dollars the day before to only 100,000 Hong Kong dollars the day before, down nearly one-quarter.

...

In the following days, the box office of "The Snake-shaped Hand" was still eye-catching. Four days after its release, the box office had already exceeded the million Hong Kong dollar mark, shocking the film industry.

In the 1970s, although the box office exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars, which was not as rare as in the 1960s, it was also a very impressive achievement.

For example, in 1973, Xiangjiang Cinema released a total of 372 movies, including Hong Kong-made films and non-Hong Kong-made films. Among them, only 38 movies with a box office of over one million were only one-tenth.

Therefore, "The Snake Shame Hand" has a box office of over one million Hong Kong dollars, which is already a movie located on the upper level of the pyramid. Although Ye Jin was just starting out and became a male lead for the first time, he has surpassed most artists and climbed to the upper level of the pyramid.

Moreover, because "The Snake-shaped Hand" is still being screened, Ye Jin's status in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is still rising.

Compared with the popularity of "The Snake-shaped Hand", the box office of the two movies "Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan" and "The Legend of Ah Fu" gradually declined, and the box office of a single day still fell below 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Although they have been released more than "Snake Shame Hand", they have not exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars so far. Obviously, they are slightly inferior in box office.

As for the first film "The Fight of Two Tigers", the film was lost after three days of its release. The total box office was only 16,000 Hong Kong dollars, and even the actors' pay was not enough, so it was definitely a big loss.

Ye Jin was glad that he was sober at that time and did not take on this movie. Otherwise, the little fame he had just gained would be affected by this miserable movie.

...

The hit screening of "Snake-shaped Hands" has also attracted continuous media coverage.

Some professionals have analyzed the popularity of this movie and analyzed why it is so popular.

According to experts' analysis, there are three main reasons for the popularity of "Snake Shame Hand".

First, it has been seven years since the new-style kung fu films started in 60s and 7 years since Zhang Che directed "One-Armed Knife". The so-called [New-style] has also become [old-style], and many plots have become routines. For example, men must have naked bodies; fights must see blood, and blood flows into a river; the main line is basically revenge...

If you watch too many such movies, the audience will naturally get tired of it. However, "Snake Shame Hand" abandons these routines, with novel themes, interesting stories, and naturally popular.

Second, "Snake Shame Hand" adds a lot of funny elements to the action scenes, which not only reduces the level of violence in the movie, but also enhances the entertainment of the movie.

Although Zhang Che's kung fu films are good, they are not very popular among female audiences because they are always bloody. "The Snake Shame Hand" is low in violence and humorous, which attracts many female audiences to the theater.

Third, "Snake Shame Hand" caters to the psychology of young audiences. Xiangjiang's economy has grown rapidly in recent years, and is known as the [Four Asian Little Dragons]. Young people are also striving to be the best, striving for progress, and are determined to become the best.

"The Snake-shaped Hand" tells the story of a young man becoming a master of his generation through hard practice. He no longer always talks about revenge and grudges like Zhang Che's kung fu films, so it resonates with the audience and is naturally willing to support him.

...

With the popularity of "The Snake-shaped Hand", Ye Jin's fame has become increasingly popular and his status in the film industry has become increasingly higher.

Many film companies want to use this wind to invite him to film, and for this reason, Ye Jin's family visits every day.

However, because Ye Jin had moved to the hotel long ago, they would be exhausted every time they went there.

Seeing this, major film companies couldn't help but get crazy.

There are actually such people in this world who don’t make any money they hand over, but they just want to hide. They are so fool!

However, large companies like Xiao and Jiahe, after hearing about this, they admire Ye Jin very much.

It is really rare to be unyielding when facing money temptation or persistent. Such principled artists do not value it, so what kind of artists should be used?

Therefore, Jiahe and Xiao also sent people to find Ye Jin through various channels, hoping to sign him up for my use.

They are really powerful.

Ye Jin has moved to a hotel and stayed in a quiet place every day. He even wore a mask and a hat when he went out for dinner, for fear of being recognized by others. Unexpectedly, they came to him.

On that day, Ye Jin was writing a script in the house and heard a knock on the door.

Ye Jin was stunned and walked over in confusion. He looked out through the door mirror, which made him stunned. He saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses standing outside the door.

Ye Jin happened to know this person, He Guanchang, the second-in-command of Jiahe Films. As the second-in-command of Jiahe, he often goes to newspapers.

Ye Jin then opened the door, "Hello, Mr. He, I wonder what wind has blown you?"

"Hello, Mr. Ye, I won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." He Guanchang smiled, "Can you go in and talk?"

"Of course, please come in." Ye Jin nodded, letting him go aside, and asking He Guanchang to come in.

"Mr. Ye is so secretly hidden, so I can find it easy to find." He Guanchang said with a smile.

"What did Mr. He say? If I had known you were looking for me, I would have rushed there without stopping." Ye Jin smiled.

"Haha, that's good." He Guanchang smiled, "Mr. Ye, we are not secretly talking about the next sentence. I came today to invite you to join our Jiahe Film Company."

Ye Jin nodded, not surprised by this.

Jiahe Film lost its superstar Bruce Lee last year and had no pillars.

After losing Bruce Lee, several movies released by Jiahe in the second half of last year, such as "The Night Stranger", "The Cold-faced Tiger", "Seaman No. 7", and "Taitbox Kyushu", were not at a high box office.

It won the support of Wang Qi, Tian Jun, Miao Kexiang and others, so Jiahe urgently needs a pillar with box office appeal now.

Although Ye Jin has only become a movie, it has been revealed by playing, editing and acting, so Jiahe naturally hopes to sign him.
