Chapter 138: Lively 2006 New Year.

On the day of its release, Douban scored as high as 7.3, which is definitely a high score among commercial films over the years. For example, the previously released [Wuji] score once dropped to 3.5, and the score of [Ten-side Ambush] has never been higher than 5.

The evaluation of [Huo Yuanjia] on the Internet is also quite high. First of all, the fighting scenes are very refreshing, especially when Huo Yuanjia forced foreigners to sign a life-and-death certificate. The foreigners were so scared that they ran away in panic, which was even more heartwarming.

Secondly, Zhou Xing portrayed Huo Yuanjia this time, unlike the heroes like Huang Feihong and Hong Xiguan. He was born with a heart that was worried about the country and the people. He was brave and fierce when he was young and did not have the so-called chivalrous style at all. But it is precisely this that the character Huo Yuanjia appears to be flesh and blood.

He is no longer the cold word in history textbooks, nor is he a senior sage called by martial artists. First of all, he is a living person.

Of course, if you like it, there will definitely be someone you don’t like. Many netizens said that Huo Yuanjia, played by Zhou Xing, is too resentful, like a gangster leader, more than a hero. He even picked up several villains Zhou Xing played and said that he could never get rid of the shadows.

In this noisy situation, the first-day box office of [Huo Yuanjia] was released. The first-day box office of 8 million was considered a qualified report card, but the first-day box office of [Wuji] just drawn was as high as 21.15 million. Putting these two together, it seems that the first-day box office of [Huo Yuanjia] was out of standard.

Of course, part of the reason is that during the Spring Festival, migrant population in first- and second-tier cities returned home, cinemas could not cover the city, and county-level markets.

However, the publisher, theater, and investors are actually very satisfied with the first-day box office of [Huo Yuanjia]. Although the first-day box office of [Huo Yuanjia] did not reach the height of [Wuji], its cost is not that high. According to this box office trend, the mainland box office of [Huo Yuanjia] exceeds 100 million.

With DVD sales, almost the mainland market can guarantee capital. Even if it is a little bit worse, the Xiangjiang market can make up for it. This means that all overseas profits are purely profitable. This is a bad debt, and a fool can calculate it. How can there be any reason to be dissatisfied?

It is worth mentioning that [Huo Yuanjia] is also extremely popular in the Xiangjiang market, with a box office of 1.23 million Hong Kong dollars on the first day. According to this trend, it was aimed at 30 million.

This also made the Xiangjiang media very confused. Last year, [Initial D] won the annual box office championship in Xiangjiang. Zhou Xing was the starring actor. If you report it, you can’t help feeling unhappy. After all, Zhou Xing has never returned to Xiangjiang to shoot movies since he went to the mainland, and the mainland film market has been even more popular for many years. A large number of Xiangjiang filmmakers have begun to go north to shoot movies, but the Xiangjiang film market is becoming more and more sluggish. Isn’t this the face of Xiangjiang movies?

But if I don’t report it, Zhou Xing is the male lead, how can I get around it? I can only pinch my nose and admit it. Xiangjiang Entertainment Media is so sour. Finally, this matter has passed. It’s been 2006. As a result, it was just the beginning of the year, [Huo Yuanjia] gave them a “surprise”.

Alas, I can’t live a good year!

It was New Year's Eve again. When Zhou Xing called his parents to pay New Year's greetings, his home was very lively. After Zhou Lan said yes, the family was preparing to build a ancestral hall. The elders of the same surname and elders of the same seniority all came.

"After all, I want our family to pay more money." Zhou Lan said with a lip voice. She was disgusted by these things. In addition, a group of outsiders came to the house to disturb the family's reunion on New Year's Eve, so she had no good expression.

There is actually nothing wrong with building a ancestral hall. The Chinese nation always likes to explore where they come from. Even news reports, many old Chinese overseas who have moved overseas for many years, want to go back to the mainland to find their roots. This is the gene engraved in the bones of Chinese people.

"Em, the money I gave you before was for me to respect you and Lao Dou. I have no objection to why you spent it. However, this time, our ancestral hall is built, at most, our family can count three bedrooms. Usually, the big house has the final say in big and small matters. There is no reason to let us spend more. What do you think?" Zhou Xing didn't care about this little money, but he couldn't make people think that he was a sucker. His father was a person who wanted to save face. He must be caught up and couldn't get rid of it. The eldest brother is a junior, and the only one who can speak is the mother.

When Zhou's mother heard it, she felt it made sense, so she hurriedly told her son a few words, and secretly pulled Zhou's father out.

The eldest brother was confused, but the eldest sister-in-law followed him quietly.

Zhou Lan went to the capital for half a year this time, and when she came back, she became completely different. Her temperament was completely different. Many girls of the same age surrounded her and envied her.

At first, Zhou Lan felt quite accomplished, but soon she felt bored. Most of these girls of the same age got married and had children, and they all lived in this small mountain village. They really had no common language. At the same time, they couldn't help but secretly glad that if they were not the second brother, maybe they would have been trapped here for the rest of their lives, right?

Late at night, my sister-in-law cleaned the house and returned to the room, locked the door. My brother's eyes lit up and she pulled her to the bed.

"Go, I'm tired all day. After serving them, I have to serve you, so I can't let me rest for a while?" My sister-in-law was angry and knocked off his hand.

The eldest brother had to retract his hand in disappointment. He was about to go to bed, but his wife patted him again: "All day, you can eat or sleep, can you still have some serious business?"

The eldest brother scratched his head, what happened to this woman today? She seemed to have eaten explosives.

The eldest sister-in-law patiently eavesdropped on her parents’ conversation today and told her husband: "You will tell Lao Dou tomorrow that you can't move that 500,000 yuan. We will pay as much as the big house will pay."

"That money is for my second brother to respect my parents. How can I get the nerve to interrupt?" The eldest brother shook his head when he heard it.

My sister-in-law was so angry that she used a pillow to hit him: "That's 500,000. You can't make money in your whole life. If you say that the money is spent in useful places, I will accept it. But, building a ancestral hall is a big deal, so why can we make more money from our family?"

Speaking of this, the sister-in-law's tone became gentle: "As the head, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children? Look at the third sister, this year she went to the capital with her second child, it's like a different person. You don't want your children to stay in the countryside like us, right?"

"With this money, our family can live in the county. At that time, we can do some small business and let the children go to the county to go to elementary school, or even go to Beijing to study like the second child. Isn't it better than us?"

My elder brother was told, everything was for the sake of the child.

After a while, Zhou Xing received a call from Zhou Lan, saying that Zhou's father beat his elder brother. However, the final result was that the family decided to go to the nearby county town to live after the New Year and prepare to move to the county town to live.

Zhou Xing didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains in this matter.

However, Zhou Xing has no time to think about other things now. He either does various publicity roadshows or goes on the roadshow every day.

During the roadshow, Zhou Xing discovered a very interesting phenomenon. Although many third- and fourth-tier cities are not as prosperous as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, their actual development is changing with each passing day, and the number of cinemas is also increasing rapidly. It is obviously the prosperity of the film market, which has driven the development of the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain.

[Huo Yuanjia] The news that the box office exceeded 50 million in the first week was announced, attracted a large number of media to report. According to the 8 million box office on the first day of [Huo Yuanjia], the box office in the first week could exceed 50 million, which is definitely an excellent result, because there is also the impact of the Spring Festival.

According to Chinese tradition, no one will go to the cinema on New Year’s Eve. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is time to go out to pay New Year’s greetings, and there are no one in the cinema. In other words, the box office of [Huo Yuanjia] in the remaining days will be at least tens of millions.

Such strong stamina is not something that ordinary films can achieve, not to mention that [Huo Yuanjia] is a kung fu film, and few viewers will choose to watch the movie twice.

Not only that, on the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, all major first- and second-tier cities ushered in a wave of Spring Festival travel rush. Many migrant workers left their hometowns and began to work, which brought a wave of movie viewing to [Huo Yuanjia], and some cinemas in first-tier cities were even hard to get tickets.

[Huo Yuanjia] has a box office of over 100 million yuan for three weeks after its release, and the situation is very good. Many media have even shouted the slogan of "Scheduled Mainland Box Office Champion in 2006".

Of course, some people are unhappy about this. Xiaogangpao first said that his first epic blockbuster [Night Banquet] will be released this year.

Although Xiaogangpao didn't mention the annual box office champion in a word, the fool could hear it. He was declaring: This thing belongs to mine, no one is allowed to touch it!

Of course, Xiaogangpao is definitely qualified to say this. As the king of New Year's films, the investment of [Night Banquet] is as high as 130 million yuan. At the same time, Xiaogangpao has been preparing for two years. The male lead is also his royal male lead, Mr. Ge. Who dares to say that this card alone? Xiaogangpao is bragging?

However, Xiaogang Cannon will never be lonely. Zhang Weiping then stood up and said that Lao Tozi's new film [Golden Armor All Over the City] will be released this year.

Well, there is no need to say anything more. Lao Touzi himself is a signboard, and Zhang Wei's comments on bad things are bad. The cast of [The Golden Armor in the City] is unprecedentedly powerful. He just doesn't mention it at all, but it's clear that he is telling the media that you cannon has only this little future. You have to bring Mr. Ge to promote it. Lao Touzi is enough.

This made the little gun angry, but he could only suffer a loss. He secretly swears in his heart that he must take down his old trick this year.
