Chapter 116: Uncomfortable... (5/8)
"Just look at it on the Internet and find out for yourself!"
"Surfing the Internet... You mean piracy?"
Shen Mengxi was helpless: "And it's a high-definition pirated version, you don't need to download it to watch it online." ”
The pirated version of "People in Embarrassment" was updated really quickly, and almost on the third day of its release, a high-definition version was streamed out on the Internet!
The mentality of most movie fans: Hollywood blockbusters are worth going to the cinema to watch, and the rest, just wait for resources...
It's no wonder that the ticket price for a movie is 40 yuan, and the Internet café is only five yuan.
If it were you, would you settle the score?
"I'm overestimating the market!"
"What do you mean by this?"
"I thought that playing the card of Han Geng would at least mobilize millions of moviegoers, which is a bit naïve!"
Han apologized: "I'm sorry..."
"No, it has nothing to do with you, I mean the big market..."Shen Mengxi hurriedly waved his hand, he couldn't be more satisfied with Han Geng.
It's true.
For example, Shanghai publicity, ran six movie theaters a day, and each of them needed Han Geng to dance, he was not down, enthusiastic and emotional, and the interview was also full of etiquette, so that the reporters interviewed were like a spring breeze!
Shen Mengxi felt that he was also an energetic person, but compared with Han Geng, he still compared.
I have to admire that the trained singing and dancing talents are really different from ordinary people!
He didn't know, Han Geng really felt that it was nothing, at least such an activity could ensure that he slept at least 6 hours a day...
Compared to the schedule arranged by SM., it's an egg!
Xu Guangtou asked: "The big market?"
"You see, the peak of the market in the past few days is only 13 million, and I can't ask for anything higher, what does it mean?
Several people's faces were not good-looking, Shen Mengxi smiled and said: "Don't be depressed, you see, this year's total box office can be about 3 billion, 90 million, and it is already temporarily ranked second in the year of domestic films..."
"And "Vote for Fame" and "Assembly Number"!"
"That's also the fourth place of the year, which is already a very good result... What's more, our production cost is 4 million, and if you calculate the return on investment, we are the highest!"
Fat Chen nodded and shook his head: "It's better to break 100 million." ”
"Nonsense, don't I know it's better to break 100 million? I also want to break 100 million, but the day after tomorrow, "Vote for Fame" is coming, even if we try hard to publicize, it's impossible... And it's not a good deal!"
"Isn't it a good deal?
"Marginal effect!"
The fat man looked at Shen Mengxi speechlessly, what are you pretending to be?
Pulling the box office can also pull the economic term?
"Yes, the marginal effect refers to the fact that when other inputs are fixed, a continuous increase in a certain input, the additional output or benefit will gradually decrease! that is, when the increase exceeds a certain level, the output of each new unit of input will decrease..."
Looking at the faces of several people, Shen Mengxi simply said in the vernacular: "Let's take "People in Embarrassment" as an example, we can use 2 million marketing to ensure that the box office breaks 60 million, 8 million, and 90 million, so if it breaks 100 million, at least another 8 million will have to be smashed... In other words, I have to do my best to get an extra 10 million at the box office, so let's give up!"
For the extra 10 million box office, is it cost-effective to spend another 8 million?
No matter how you calculate it, it's a loss!
"Director Xu's 100 million yuan director club, let's enter the next movie!"
Xu Zheng hurriedly waved his hand: "I... I'm okay with that. ”
"Don't worry, I'll write another script for you!"
“... Thank you. ”
Xu raised the cup and replaced the wine with tea - there is one last roadshow tomorrow.
Chen Fatzi suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that "People in Embarrassment" is suitable for making a series?"
Shen Mengxi shook his head: "Wait a few more years, wait for the market to mature a little more, and then make a sequel!"
"Don't you strike while the iron is hot? Now that the heat is so high, let's make a sequel..."
Shen Mengxi still shook his head: "Don't strike iron, wait a few more years, I always feel that the box office potential of the "People in Embarrassment" series is far more than that, wait a little longer!"
Even if you strike iron, you may not be able to fight with you - the copyright is in Shen Mengxi's hands...
"Well, I can't tell you... Han Geng, let's talk!"
Seeing Shen Mengxi's resolute attitude, the fat man no longer continued, but grabbed Han Geng and chatted privately...
He still hasn't given up trying to poach him...
......
Xu Zheng lowered his voice: "Mengxi, I have a script..."
"What script?"
"It's called "One Night at the Supermarket!"
Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment: "One Night in the Supermarket"?"
Why haven't I heard this script?
"The protagonist's name is He Sanshui... Two months ago, He Sanshui bought a lottery ticket in the supermarket and won a prize of 9,500 yuan..."
"Wait a minute, He Sanshui..."
Damn, what "One Night in the Supermarket"?
Isn't it "Nightclub"!
simply interrupted him: "Is it a script written by Yang Qing?"
"Yes... You know him?"
"Well, I know him, an unlucky kid, went to other people's crews to help others with character design and script outline, and when it was over, he was kicked out!"
Xu Zheng was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"
"I've heard that, too... Okay,I voted for this book.,You let him come to me.,That's right.,The heroine left it to me.,I'll arrange a big name!"
Xu Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth, nodded and didn't speak...
He is used to Shen Mengxi's awesome routines, and at the beginning, "People in Embarrassment" also said that Liu Yifei was arranged to make a cameo, which made Xu Zheng happy enough, and later told him that the invitation was not so smooth, so let's find other actors...
Xu Zheng contacted Huang Xiaolei, and Huang Xiaolei was also righteous and took a day to make a cameo.
Forget it, let's find a spare tire actor first!
Shen Mengxi changed the subject: "Have you been going to the theater a lot lately?"
Xu Zheng nodded: "Of course go, I still have two dramas next year!"
"Do you have any young actors in your unit with a good foundation?"
“... What conditions do you want?"
"Masculine, around twenty-five years old!"
“... I'll help you find it..."
"Okay... Let's rest first, we have a roadshow tomorrow!"
Shen Mengxi got up and left first...
......
Shen Mengxi and the crew of "People in Embarrassment" can be regarded as temporarily untying the knot, 90 million is 90 million, and if it does not break 100 million, it can only mean bad luck!
Of course, Shen Mengxi did not forget to hire a water army, and was ready to smear "Casting a Name" with rhythm...
Fight for it again, can you do it if you don't live?
PropNex is going crazy over there!
I didn't expect a movie called "People in Embarrassment" to come out.
Starring: Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang...
This cast lineup doesn't need to be on Li Lianjie, even Jin Chengwu can be killed in seconds!
I didn't take it to heart when I promoted "Vote for Fame", no, its cost was less than 5 million, what was it enough?
Suddenly it was killed, without warning, 19 million in the first weekend, 48 million in the second week...
This is clearly the rhythm of the big dark horse!
Hurriedly called the relevant person in charge of the theater chain, and then learned that "People in Embarrassment" is also in charge of the distribution of China Film, orthodox background, and the film schedule is not something you can press if you want to!
It's uncomfortable!
Especially Chen Kexin, her face is ugly...
