Chapter 249 Uncle Da goes bankrupt!

As April begins, Cheng Long's "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" has been released for three weeks.

After breaking the first week of Xiangjiang's box office record of 5.9 million in the first week, the second week of the box office also hit 3.6 million in the second week, the third week of the box office was 2.08 million, and the cumulative box office has reached 11.58 million. There is still the release time in the last week. It is estimated that it is very likely to break the total box office record of "The Prodigal" set last month.

This made the filmmakers in Xiangjiang laugh and cry.

OK.

In the past, the box office record of Xiangjiang was unable to change in two or three years. Now it has been broken three times a year, and it has been broken once a month.

Could it be that the spring of Xiangjiang movies is coming?

Moreover, Cheng Long's "Smiling Fist" is not only popular in Xiangjiang. It continues the record of high-box movies in Xiangjiang in recent years and still sells well in other places.

Many smart movie publishers bought the distribution rights of "Laughter Fist" at a high price after the first week of screening. Then in other places, such as Japan and South Korea, it was extremely popular. There was a craze for watching this movie in both places.

The box offices in Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and other places are also extremely gratifying. Cheng Long, who already has a lot of popularity, suddenly became much more popular.

In addition, Cathay Pacific Cinemas also started to release in the second week, and the box office was even more gratifying. In two weeks, the box office was as high as HK$15 million, and a total box office of at least 20 million per month. According to the ordinary 30% pure share, it should also have a share of more than 6 million.

With the blessing of such achievements, Cheng Long quickly rose, and he was already higher than Hong Jinbao, becoming the first kung fu superstar in Xiangjiang.

While "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Box" dominated the box office, Siyuan Film Company had released its second film of this year - "The Butterfly Transformation".

This first movie directed by Xu Ke, who changed jobs from Jiashi, received a lot of praise when he was trialled by theater managers, and he contacted 17 cinemas to be released.

Yin Jun remembers that the box office of "The Butterfly Transformation" in his previous life was more than 1 million, but because the cost was not high, he could still make a small profit of 200,000 to 300,000.

But there have been many changes in this life. Xu Ke has trained more "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" on Jiashi, and his experience has become more abundant. He also referred to many of Yin Jun's works. I believe that with the strength of the old monster Xu, he should be much stronger than in his previous life.

In fact, under the influence of Yin Jun, the box office of Xiangjiang movies has now greatly improved.

For example, the box office champion in 1979 in his previous life was Cheng Long's "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Boxing", but the box office was only more than 5.4 million, which was even worse than the box office in this life.

This is because Cheng Long in this life has changed a lot from his previous life.

After filming two poor box office movies, "Fist Spirit" and "Dragon Fist", he has gained a further understanding of his style.

Adding to the movie "Owl and Dumbo", it just happened to incorporate a lot of funny fighting styles between Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long in his previous life.

After seeing this, Cheng Long was further inspired, so "The Strange Tactics of Laughing Fist" in this life is better than the previous life, and it is naturally reasonable to have a high box office.

Also, good movie playback can give the overall movie viewer a better feeling, and then make them more willing to go to the cinema to watch the movies.

Nowadays, the broadcast of excellent movies such as "Owl and Dumbo" and "The Prodigal" suddenly makes people feel that "Hey, the movie theaters are all good movies, so go and have a look" will naturally lead to the increase in the box office of the movie.

It was also due to this favorable factor that "Butterfly Transformation" caught a good opportunity, and naturally there would be a lot of box office bonuses.

There are definitely more than one smart person.

For example, Shaw Brothers has recently added to the release of the movie. Although it is a bit old-fashioned, it has a favorite star and a plot that everyone is used to. The box office is still good, and the box office in other places is also gratifying.

But Yin Jun also saw that Shaw Brothers' recent movie has become worse and worse. A martial arts film was released at the end of March, and it was released in just 7 days after it was released. The total box office was less than 600,000, which is very average.

If Shaw Brothers still continued their previous sea-filming tactics, they would definitely be completely lonely like their previous lives.

As April began, a big news broke out on the wireless TVB side.

That is why Wu Mengda, who is famous for filming "Chu Liuxiang" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", was so addicted to gambling that he actually applied for bankruptcy to the court.

Yin Jun was stunned when he heard this news.

In his previous life, Wu Mengda was once addicted to gambling and went bankrupt, but it was definitely not now.

Even in his previous life, after filming "Chu Liuxiang", Wu Mengda was full of complacent, indulged in gambling, and then fell into bankruptcy.

But in this life, Wu Mengda filmed "Chu Liuxiang" and started filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". In such a intensive working time, he could find opportunities to bet on a big gamble and finally end up in bankruptcy?

Yin Jun called and asked Liu Tianci for a while before he found out the details.

It was indeed Wu Mengda who committed suicide.

After the broadcast of "Chu Liuxiang", he suddenly became very popular. Every day, his boss spent money to treat him to dinner. Then during social engagements, Wu Mengda, who originally liked to play mahjong and gambling, gradually became addicted to it.

Especially during the period when he was poached by wireless at a high price, he was even more addicted to various casinos and did not catch up with the filming time several times, which made Wang Tianlin very angry.

After finishing the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Tianlin immediately injected the new star who was already addicted to gambling into the cold palace and did not continue to arrange the show for him at all.

Shao Yifu, who knew the causes and consequences of Wang Tianlin's actions, also expressed his support for both hands.

Unexpectedly, Wu Mengda not only did not regret it, but instead felt that no one was in charge of him and not filming, it was really good. So he went in and out of major casinos even more and finally borrowed a lot of money. He had no way to repay his debts, so he could only declare bankruptcy.

It is worth mentioning that although Zhou Runfa was filming on Qiongdao Island when Wu Mengda came back at the end of March, Wu Mengda borrowed 100,000 yuan from him. When Wu Mengda finally wanted to borrow it again, he had heard that Zhou Runfa, who was gambling, did not lend him the same as in his previous life, and also said the same words as in his previous life.

"How can this be done if you lend money to you, you go gamble again?"

Many people in their previous lives did not actually notice the harm this sentence brought to Wu Mengda.

In fact, at this time, Wu Mengda was already scared and wanted to borrow money from friends to repay those people. However, Zhou Runfa, who was richest and had the best relationship, did not believe him and thought he was going to bet, which hurt his heart.

From this time on, Wu Mengda no longer regarded Zhou Runfa as a friend.

This is also the reason why Wu Mengda and Zhou Runfa were both highly productive actors in the golden age of Hong Kong films, but they had almost no cooperation.

Of course, we can't say that Zhou Runfa is wrong. In his position, he actually thinks he is right. He can borrow money from Wu Mengda to do things, but he won't lend him money to bet.

Wu Mengda couldn't borrow money in the end, which was related to the fact that he had used all the excuses to borrow money to gamble.

However, the relationship between the two has indeed gradually faded away from this time, which is really a pity.

This time, Wu Mengda actually felt sorry for Zhou Runfa, but after decades, Wu Mengda turned to the right, but was ruthlessly abandoned by Zhou Xingxing. This turned out to be someone else's sorry for him. It really makes people sigh that there is a wonderful fate.

Wu Mengda never borrowed money from Yin Jun. Even if he came to Yin Jun to borrow money, Yin Jun, who knew he was gambling, would not lend it to him.

Now Wu Mengda is in bankruptcy earlier than her previous life, and has been prosecuted by Wireless, asking for the remuneration he gave him to recover, totaling 500,000, but in the end the court ruled that Wu Mengda needs to repay Wireless 200,000.

If you count the whole thing, Wu Mengda needs to repay the creditor's 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars, and all his assets will be mortgaged and auctioned to repay other people's money.

During a personal bankruptcy, he needs to hand over all his income to the Bankruptcy Authority, and the Bankruptcy Authority will control his income. Except for a small part of it for household use, the rest will be paid back in batches.

Then, the Bankruptcy Administration has strict regulations on how to use money.

In short, it is a luxury to Wu Mengda want to have a good meal before paying it back.

Under such circumstances, Yin Jun said to Liu Tianci, asking him to hire Wu Mengda, and be responsible for playing supporting roles in the TV series, and also arranged as many roles for him as possible.

"I always know him. If I don't pull him at this time, I'm afraid he will never get up again." Yin Jun said, "Brother Da is not a bad person. I hope that after this heart-wrenching pain, he can completely wake up and become a good actor."

As a result, two days later, Yin Jun received a call from Wu Mengda.

Wu Mengda on the phone cried bitterly and kept saying thank you.

"Mr. Jun, I, Dazai, swear to the sky, if I don't become a good person again, I will beat you five thunders! I will always remember your kindness!!"

After putting down the phone, Yin Jun shook his head and smiled unconsciously.

If it were someone else, he might not think that Wu Mengda’s words were anything special.

Only the young man knows that this is the beginning of the first gold medal supporting actor in the Hong Kong comedy movie to crawl out of hell and gain a new life!

Xiangjiang movies, you really can’t be missing Uncle Da!
