Chapter 111: The Box Office Exploded? (Ask for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)

Huang Zhixuan has been paying attention to the box office situation, he never thought that an artist he gave up not wanting at the beginning would now become the director of a movie.

And himself, in order to snipe this movie, tried his best.

The previous snipers, whether it was obstructing Lu Ban from collecting songs, or secretly filming Lu Ban and Gu Qiao entering the hotel together, all ended in failure, and after each sniper, Lu Ban's popularity increased instead of decreasing.

That's a bit annoying.

Huang Zhixuan had to admit that he had lost his eyes before, and Lu Ban was indeed a talented artist.

But there are more talented people, they are in the entertainment industry, and they are not the best to be talented, and they can increase their popularity step by step.

Lu Ban chose to make a movie, and the box office is everything.

Today's box office came out, ranking first from the bottom in the same period, which made Huang Zhixuan feel that this sniping was not far from success.

Lu Ban's movie is good.

He looked.

After watching it, he wanted to be reborn a little bit, although he asked himself if he didn't have Charlotte's ability, but he couldn't bear the appeal of the story in the movie.

Unfortunately, the box office says it all.

He knew that if it weren't for Liu Dong making a move in the middle, with the quality, he would definitely not be the penultimate one.

"It's a shame that this movie is!"

What made him feel even more pity was Lu Ban.

The artist he didn't bring out with his own hands is now going to destroy it with his own hands.

It's pretty cruel to think about it.

……

Lanxi, Gatling Theatre Company.

The eldest sister who sells tickets at the door has been a little busy lately.

Recently, several veteran actors in the troupe starred in a movie, although the box office was not good, but the popularity effect brought to the comedy troupe was blind.

The most obvious thing is that the tickets for each day are sold out early.

Background.

Gao Shan looked at the news on his phone, the box office on it, and couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

Huang Hua looked at the manuscript on the side, and when she saw this, she asked, "Teacher, what are you sighing about?"

Gao Shan said: "Today's box office is out, 3 million, plus 1.99 million on the first day, the same period is the bottom. ”

"Or is it at the bottom?" Huang Hua was a little disappointed.

After all, everyone has put in so much effort in this movie, but the result is a little unacceptable.

Thinking about Lu Ban now, it should be very uncomfortable in my heart, right?

She comforted herself again and said: "Actually, we were prepared before, but the expectations were too high, and the higher the expectations, there will be a gap when disappointment comes." ”

"Yes, maybe it's really that our expectations are too high, whether it is in terms of film scheduling or lineup, we don't have the strength to wrestle with other movies during the Spring Festival. Gao Shan nodded.

He has also been up and down in the entertainment industry for many years, and it stands to reason that he should see it thoroughly, but this time the authorities are confused, but they are a little confused.

Movies are like this, if the box office is not good, the film schedule will be worse, and if the film schedule is poor, the popularity will become more and more sluggish.

It's a vicious circle.

's box office, in the Spring Festival stalls, can only become cannon fodder in the end.

"Teacher, do you say that Lu Ban is a bit of a bull, and he has to boast about 500 million Haikou with the media, now in this situation, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and I am a little worried about his future development. Huang Hua sighed and said, for the Gatling Comedy Troupe, it is nothing more than the same as before in the end, but for Lu Ban, the originally good star career may die abruptly.

Lu Ban has acting skills.

There is also heat.

As long as you act step by step, you will enter the front line sooner or later.

Why sacrifice yourself for this movie.

Huang Hua couldn't figure it out.

Gao Shan can think clearly, but in the current situation, he can only sigh gloomily.

……

"Lu Ban, the box office is not ideal now, but it's only the next day, and the late-night film schedule is already at a loss, and it's actually very good to have this box office. ”

In the evening, Gu Qiao specially asked Lu Ban to have dinner to comfort him.

In fact, when the box office came out, she wanted to call Lu Ban, but she thought that Lu Ban might not be in a good mood, so she endured it until she made an appointment to eat in the evening.

Lu Ban smiled slightly and said: "I'm fine, although the box office is not very good now, but this is just the beginning, at least you can't draw conclusions until the final result comes out, right?"

Gu Qiao took a sip of his drink and said: "It's best if you think like this, in fact, I like this movie very much, I feel very happy after watching it, I don't think it's a problem with the quality of the movie, it should be the reason why there are too few films, I have asked Sister Luo to contact the familiar theater to see if I can adjust the film schedule, but Sister Luo hasn't called me back yet, and I can't guarantee it." ”

Gu Qiao's analysis is actually consistent with Lu Ban's previous analysis.

Including everyone who pays attention to this movie, it can be seen that the reason for the box office slump of this movie is that there are too few films.

But the attitude of the theater chain has been confusing.

Gu Qiao has been comforting Lu Ban, Lu Ban has been smooth sailing all the way, he was appreciated by Liang Kesheng when he was filming TV series, Wang Hongtao also praised him when recording variety shows, and even jumped into the ranks of third-tier artists during this time, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen in the first movie, she was quite worried that Lu Ban would not be able to bear it.

Lu Ban is the same as usual, but in the face of this situation, he will inevitably be a little apprehensive.

Although it had a box office of 1.5 billion in the previous life.

But this is not a previous life after all, and those in previous lives have never encountered such a schedule.

Even so, Lu Ban's state was not as bad as Gu Qiao thought.

He still firmly believes that a good movie will eventually be accepted by the audience, but it will take some time or an opportunity to get up.

The film schedule at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, let alone this movie without superstars, even if you put the star-studded ones over, it will still hit the streets.

On the way home, when I passed by the company, I found that the lights were still on.

He walked in and found that Kong Xi was still buried in his desk writing copy.

Kong Xi saw him come in, just glanced at him, and continued to write.

Lu Ban walked over, turned off her monitor, and said, "Okay, don't be busy, go back and rest early." ”

"Who told you to turn off my monitor? ”

Kong Xi said speechlessly: "I have to write tonight's promotional copy and absorb traffic on Weibo, so that maybe the box office of our movie can go up a little." ”

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by the navy?" asked Lu Ban.

"Scold, scold, they scold us for being hot, and only with heat can more people see this movie, this is our last chance, I can't give up, it doesn't matter if the results are not good, even if the box office pounces on a dog in the end, I admit it, but let me give up when I haven't lost yet, I can't do it. Kong Xi said stubbornly.

Lu Ban suddenly didn't know how to comfort her, and now what can make Kong Xi feel at ease may only be the skyrocketing box office.

But the current film schedule is not ideal, and it is by no means something that can be solved in the short term, and the theater chain needs to slowly see the potential of the film and constantly adjust.

And this adjustment is not a simple matter either.

Do other movies that are doing well at the box office need to communicate?

If the money is about the same, is it necessary for the theater chain to adjust the film schedule?

So it's a process of boiling frogs in warm water, but I don't know if Lu Ban can survive until that time.

In the evening, there was good news.

There are several theaters that have added a film schedule, although the time period is not good, but compared to 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, is it worse?

That's good news.

Lu Ban and Kong Xi worked overtime together and wrote copywriting together, and there was nothing else to do anyway.

The incandescent light shone through the glass on the side of the road, and the entire dark street, only the lights of their family were still on.

In the middle, Gu Qiao called and asked if he was home.

Lu Ban could only lie and say home.

Otherwise, with Gu Qiao's temperament, maybe she ran over again without saying a word, this movie is her own business, and there is no need for her to stay up late and toss.

Just hung up Gu Qiao's phone.

The phone rang again, at first Lu Ban thought it was Liu Xin, but when he picked up the phone, he saw that it was Wang Hongtao.

"Director Wang, what's wrong?"

"Well, is it still a matter of program planning?"

"I see what you mean, so give me another week, and in a week, I'll give you an answer, okay?"

"Okay, thank you Director Wang. ”

Lu Ban hung up the phone, and Kong Xi glanced at him.

Both of them understood that Wang Hongtao eagerly called Lu Ban at this time to invite Lu Ban to participate in the planning of this show, which was quite a bit of a charcoal in the snow.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

If Lu Ban pounces this time, even if he will not collapse, if he wants to go further in the entertainment industry, it will become very difficult.

If Lu Ban participated in the planning and wanted to enter the show as a guest, it would naturally be a logical thing.

And a good variety show can always maintain the exposure of Lu Ban.

This will be of great help to the land class.

It's just that Kong Xi heard the conversation between Lu Ban and Wang Hongtao and understood Lu Ban's thoughts more at this time, he was still unwilling, otherwise he wouldn't have said to wait another week.

It's just, for a week's time,

Will there be a miracle?

……

On the third day, the box office accumulated 9 million.

On the fourth day, the box office accumulated 14 million.

Day 5......

The box office has been steadily increasing these days, and the reviews online have been well received.

As for the Douhua score, it is the highest score among all the movies in the Spring Festival file.

Liang Kesheng now doesn't want the box office to explode, he just hopes to stabilize this trend, so that at least Lu Ban's movie will not lose, and there will be a lot of profits.

For a rookie director, it is actually considered a success.

If there is no cowhide that I bragged about at the beginning.

After delaying in Hengdian for so long, he was about to go back to Shanghai, and just as he was packing his luggage, Xiao Zhang ran in from outside the door in a hurry: "Director Liang! Director Liang! Box office, the box office exploded!"

Liang Kesheng was stunned, what is this kid talking nonsense?
