80【Big Box Office Sales】

He got a little girlfriend like Lin Qingxia in a daze. Ye Jin's mood was really mixed for a moment.

Being happy is naturally happy. Qingxia is both pure and beautiful, and is indeed a good choice for being a girlfriend. Compared with the women he had dated before, Qingxia undoubtedly won too much.

But Ye Jin still had a trace of hesitation in his heart, and he could not forget Zhao Yazhi's gentleness and consideration.

"Humans are so greedy, they are not enough to swallow elephants. They eat what is in the bowl and think about what is in the pot." Ye Jin blamed himself.

...

"Drunk Boxing" crew.

"Brother Jin, this piece of char siu is so tired of it. I don't like it, so you should eat it." Lin Qingxia put a piece of char siu in Ye Jin's lunch box and said.

"You are so thin, you should eat more." Ye Jin smiled.

"No. I'm getting fat, I'm not good at taking photos." Lin Qingxia waved her hand and said, "I feel so fat now."

"No, where are you getting fat?" Ye Jin looked at her curiously, "I can't tell."

"In a place you can't see." Lin Qingxia said with a giggle.

At this moment, Wu Siyuan walked over with brisk steps.

"A Jin, good news. I just received a call and our "Snake Shame Hand" had a box office of NT$15 million in Taipei." He said to Ye Jin happily.

"Wow!" Lin Qingxia was surprised when she heard him say this, "Brother Jin, you are so awesome!"

"What does NT$15 million mean?" Ye Jin said a little confused. He really doesn't know much about the Taiwanese film market.

"Let me say that, the box office of Bruce Lee's "Dragon and Tiger Fight" in Taipei is only NT$18 million." Wu Siyuan explained to Ye Jin, "You are only NT$3 million away from Bruce Lee."

"Brother Jin, the box office of the art films sold in Taiwan is only NT$4 or NT$5 million." Lin Qingxia added, "The box office of your movie is comparable to three or four art films."

"So that's it." Ye Jin nodded with a smile, "It's really a good result to say that."

"Of course, the top five in the annual box office rankings should not be able to escape." Wu Siyuan nodded and said, "A Jin, you have such good results for the first time you are the protagonist. It's amazing."

"Yes." Lin Qingxia also nodded.

The first movie she starred in, "Outside the Window", had a box office of only HK$500,000 in Hong Kong, which is much less than the fraction of "Snake Shame Hand".

Ye Jin smiled, "By the way, is there any news about the movie "Yun Piaopiao" starring Director Wu and Qingxia?"

"Yun Piaopiao" starring Lin Qingxia has been completed for almost a month and has not been released yet, which is really worrying.

"It should be soon. I heard that in recent times, Federal Films has been in a split, which may have delayed the release of the movie." Wu Siyuan explained.

Taiwan Federal Films was founded in the 1950s and was mainly used to represent films such as Xiao and Dianmao. Later, Xiao and Dianmao gradually expanded their power in Taiwan, acquired theaters, established theaters, and built their own distribution network.

Federal Films then began to produce its own films, and once invested in Hu Jinyi's filming of movies such as "The Legend of the Goddess" and "Longmen Inn", which was once very brilliant.

However, with the rise of Hong Kong films in the 1970s, the Taiwanese film market was gradually squeezed out by Hong Kong films. Apart from low-cost art films, other types of films cannot compete with Hong Kong films at all. This has led to the decline of local Taiwanese films.

Federal Films also declined from prosperity. When the film market was booming, shareholders made money and could withstand differences. However, when the market declined, internal conflicts could not be suppressed, becoming increasingly prominent, and the company's internal strife became more and more frequent.

This also made the company's management chaotic. For example, "Yun Piaopiao" has been completed for a month and has been completed in the post-production, but it has been delayed.

"So that's it." Ye Jin nodded, then looked at Lin Qingxia, "Don't worry, it's gold that will shine sooner or later."

"Yes." Lin Qingxia nodded.

...

Perhaps it was borrowed from Ye Jin's jargon that "Yun Piaopiao" would be officially released two days later.

And as soon as it was released, the box office performance was excellent, and it sold NT$1 million on the first day.

In the following days, the movie continued to be popular and eventually won a box office of NT$4 million.

For Taiwanese art films with low cost, such results are already quite good.

Because its investment is only about one million. Taipei collects NT$4 million, Taichung, Tainan and other some, and then sells it to Chinese communities such as Nanyang, Xiangjiang, and even North America and South America... Film merchants can earn at least NT$500 million, which is equivalent to five times the profit, which is naturally cost-effective.

Such good results also surprised the Taiwanese film and media.

Because the movie "Yun Piaopiao" has not a strong star lineup.

Lin Qingxia and the male lead Gu Minglun are both newcomers and have no box office appeal.

As for the other heroine, Tang Baoyun, although she became the most popular female star in Taiwan for 60s and 7 years with "The Duck Raising Family".

But after all, it has been seven years since then, and she has retired once, and her box office appeal has not been much left.

The other male protagonist has been out of date and has not achieved great results in the past few years.

So it is really not easy to achieve such a good box office for such a movie.

After in-depth media investigation, it was found that the reason why "Yun Piaopiao" is so popular is that the audience likes Lin Qingxia very much.

The audience thinks she looks very pure and cute, and describes her as [like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, suspected to be a fairy falling into the mortal world]. Most of the audience enter the theater because of her.

After the investigation results were released, Lin Qingxia was suddenly furious.

Film merchants came to the Lin family with their money, hoping to invite her to make a movie.

Many film manufacturers have offered very high prices. Before that, Lin Qingxia's filming "Yun Piaopiao" was NT$20,000, and the filming "Outside the Window" was NT$10,000.

Now that "Yun Piaopiao" has become popular, Lin Qingxia has become the guarantee of box office appeal, and her pay immediately jumped to NT$100,000 in one go.

...

"My daughter has signed a contract to Xiangjiang and is not at home at all." Lin Qingxia's father Lin Weiliang explained.

"Did you go to Xiangjiang?! When did you go?" Liu Jiachang asked in surprise when he heard this.

After "Yun Piaopiao" became popular, he also hoped to find Lin Qingxia and take advantage of the east wind to shoot a new film and sell it for money.

"I've been there for a month," Lin Weiliang explained, "It was Xiangjiang's Siyuan Film Company who signed her."

"Oh no!" Liu Jiachang said depressed when he heard this.

I remembered that a month ago, Wu Siyuan did come to the crew to visit the crew and did talk about signing the contract with Lin Qingxia, but he didn't take it seriously at that time.

Because in his eyes, Lin Qingxia is not very beautiful, and is far inferior to Zhen Ze. In terms of acting skills, Lin Qingxia is even less talented. She becomes stage frightened when she hears the sound of the camera turning, her limbs are stiff and her expression is slow.

There are many newcomers like this in Taiwan. So at that time, Wu Siyuan wanted to poach Lin Qingxia, but he was not wary of it. However, he did not expect that Lin Qingxia was not optimistic about at all, but now he has become a big star.
