Chapter 64: Bad News
"The box office of "Comet" in the first week is 2.58 million, hahaha......" Yu Dong laughed heartily.
This first-week box office result is obviously out of Yu Dong's expectations, according to the box office trend of general movies, the final box office of "Comet" is likely to exceed 10 million!
Now is not the next generation, the box office breaking 10 million is undoubtedly a threshold, and the box office of more than 10 million in 2001 proves that you are really a blockbuster director with potential!
If the box office of "Comet" can really break 10 million, then Yu Dong's release will make money, although it is not as much as "My Brothers and Sisters", but it was originally prepared to lose money, but now it is earned, so I am naturally happy.
What is even happier is Yu Dong's own investment vision, obviously Chen Hao once again gave Yu Dong a big surprise.
won the New Wave Award and the Golden Horse Award for his debut film, and now the box office is likely to exceed 10 million, such a director is definitely a genius and will soon become a favorite in the eyes of all companies.
And Yu Dong was able to take the lead in investing and undoubtedly took the lead.
Being able to bind a famous or highly potential director is the greatest success for any film company at any time, and Huayi and Old Pictures are undoubtedly the best examples!
"2.58 million, not bad, not bad!" Chen Hao nodded when he heard this.
This achievement obviously can't move Chen Hao, after all, he is a man who used to be 100 million a day.
However, this result is not bad, after all, the investment cost is only 50,000 yuan in total, and Chen Hao obviously earned it.
If the box office of "Comet" can reach 10 million, then Chen Hao's share will be much more, and the investment in the second film will be completed at that time.
And it is very likely that because of the double harvest of awards + box office, Chen Hao will directly become a new star director, and many people will be willing to invest in his second film.
A "Comet" may allow Chen Hao to get rid of the dilemma of no fame + lack of investment, which is what is really worthy of Chen Hao's happiness.
"Why don't I feel like you're excited, brother?" Yu Dong said in surprise.
As a student director, I should be ecstatic that the first 50,000 yuan movie can have this result at the box office!
But then, I was relieved to think that this old brother seemed to have been very calm and had the style of a general.
"I'm actually excited, but I don't show it too much. Chen Hao explained with a smile.
"Joy and anger are invisible, then it seems that you are actually more suitable to be an official, brother!" Yu Dong joked.
"I don't have that ability. Chen Hao said with a smile.
"Okay, man, you've already been famous, and when "Comet" finally comes out at the box office, I think you'll be famous all over the circle, and you'll be very busy. Yu Dongyi pointed out.
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Probably not, I just want to make a movie, and I'm already preparing for the second work, I hope that the senior can continue to work happily with me when the time comes." ”
"Okay, my brother has a heart!" Yu Dong was very relieved when he heard this, this can be regarded as a promise to himself.
It seems that his investment has not been in vain, this junior brother is very particular about doing things!
"The matter of distribution, seniors have to worry a lot. Chen Hao said with a smile.
Yu Dong wants to bind Chen Hao, and Chen Hao also needs to cooperate with Yu Dong now, the two are mutually beneficial, why not.
"Leave it to me, don't worry!" Yu Dong assured.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao sent the first-week box office to everyone in the crew.
Everyone is naturally very happy, and at the same time, they are full of expectations for the final box office, and everyone hopes to break the 10 million mark, after all, it is definitely a dazzling qualification to be able to become the starring role of a 10 million box office movie this year.
At the same time, the media reports on "Comet" are becoming more and more frequent, after all, it was only screened before, but now that the film is officially released, more people have seen the film, and the evaluation has also exploded.
Sohu Entertainment reported: "Comet", which previously won the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Screenplay, was officially released, with a box office of more than 2.5 million in the first week, and its shooting cost was only 50,000 yuan.
New Wolf Entertainment: The debut film "Comet" of the senior students of Diying was highly praised when it was screened before, and then it continued to win awards, which made everyone look forward to this domestic science fiction, and the result was unexpected, this is indeed a science fiction movie, and it is really well made!
"Movie Box Office": Known as the best domestic sci-fi suspense movie, "Comet" attracted many fans to the cinema as soon as it was released, with a box office of 2.58 million in the first week, and the final box office is likely to exceed 10 million!
Wangyi Entertainment: The first work won the Golden Horse Award, and the box office was red, Chen Hao! This young director who has not yet graduated is about to become a rising director star in the domestic film industry!
......
The box office in the first week was unexpected, and the media followed suit, which kept the popularity of "Comet" high, and also attracted many fans who originally did not plan to watch the movie into the cinema.
In the second week of the release of "Comet", the box office hit a new high, winning a total of 4.28 million in 7 days, and a total box office of 6.86 million in two weeks!
However, just when Chen Hao and everyone were imagining whether the total box office of the movie could directly break 10 million in the third week, Yu Dong told Chen Hao two bad news.
"The first news, although I have known it for a long time, is indeed bad news, next Friday, "Big Names" will be officially released. Yu Dong said.
This is indeed uncompromising bad news for "Comet", which is trying to fight for the box office of more than 10 million.
Because "Big Shot" is directed by Feng Dacang, Columbia invested 3 million US dollars, and it is a comedy starring Uncle Ge, Aunt Thirteen, and Yingda.
It goes without saying what Fung comedy means now! "Big Names" is absolutely predictable for the box office impact of "Comet".
Although the two are not the same type of films, the audience at this time cannot be so subdivided, and fans are a scarce resource.
At this time, the mainland film market could not afford two blockbuster films at the same time, this is a life-and-death competition.
"The next bad news is that the pirated version of Comet has come out!" Yu Dong said with a sigh.
Yu Dong is still relatively calm, because the problem of piracy is unavoidable by no one now, so he is already mentally prepared, but he is sure that he is uncomfortable.
"What does the senior estimate will be at the box office in the third week?" asked Chen Hao.
"I feel like there's going to be a big dive, so be prepared. Yu Dong said.
Chen Hao nodded helplessly when he heard this, these two things are now completely helpless Chen Hao, he can only resign himself to fate, this is the helplessness of being in the novice village.
Indeed, in the first 3 days of the first weekend of "Big Names", the imperial capital alone reached 3.865 million, and the national box office approached 10 million.
And the box office of "Comet" plummeted by 53.73% in the 7 days of the third week, only 1.98 million, with a cumulative box office of 8.84 million!
