Chapter 193: A Billion Hopes?
Zhang Pu's taking his family to watch "The Nameless" was exposed by netizens, but it did not cause much repercussions.
During the Spring Festival, there is too much news.
This kind of news is not very attractive.
Zhang Pu didn't plan to make any article about this, and without the company behind it, it was normal that this kind of news did not cause any repercussions.
The next day, Zhang Pu left home and started the road of film promotion again.
Judging from the news on the Internet, the box office of "Nobody" on the first day should not be bad, but Zhang Pu is not clear about the specific amount.
He believed that after the results came out, Xu Jiadong would definitely call him as soon as possible.
"How much?"
While still on the road, Zhang Pu received a call from Xu Jiadong.
I don't know if the guy was too excited, or if he was on the highway and the mobile phone signal was not good, Zhang Pu didn't hear it clearly, and he wasn't sure if what he heard was accurate.
"How much?"
Zhang Chu glanced at Zhang Pu, saw his surprise on his face, and then asked curiously.
"Broke 100 million on the first day, approaching "Emperor Qin", ranking second in the single-day box office list, leaving behind the two blockbusters "Black Panther" and "Thieves Don't Go Empty". Zhang Pu said.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the single-day box office list came out, and it was not only Zhang Pu who was shocked, but the entire circle.
"Qin Huang" lived up to expectations and won the single-day box office championship with more than 140 million.
This did not come as a surprise.
Unexpectedly, "Nobody" won the runner-up in the single-day box office with 130 million.
This small-cost film, with an investment of only 30 million, broke 100 million on the first day, not to mention the direct recovery of costs, but also made a lot of money.
It's unbelievable.
Moreover, this film overturned the two blockbusters "Black Panther" and "The Thief Doesn't Go Empty" with 18% of the schedule.
It's incredible.
"Black Panther" ranked third with a single-day box office of 110 million.
"Thieves Don't Go Empty" barely broke 100 million, ranking fourth.
"Family Fun" only won 80 million, ranking fifth.
As for the other films, except for an animated film that won 30 million at the box office, none of them broke 10 million, and at most there were only a few million single-day box office.
After all, five films took away nearly 90% of the schedule.
If other films have too few films, how much box office can they get?
"So fierce?"
Zhang Chu said with some shock.
He is also considered to have entered the industry, so he naturally knows more than before, and he knows what it means for "Nobody" to win the second place in the single-day box office list on the first day.
"I didn't expect that. Zhang Pu said.
Although the single-day box office counted the box office of the previous movie screenings. But even if it is not counted, "The Nameless" ranks second in the single-day box office list, but the distance from "Qin Huang" is not so close, and the distance from "Black Panther" is not so far.
But even so, it shows that the attendance rate of "Nobody" is higher than that of "Black Panther"!
The schedule of "Nobody" has been preserved, and there may be the possibility of growth.
The film was able to get 18% of the schedule, and many people questioned it, and now these doubts can be shut up.
As for those who said that after the first day of "The Nameless", the film schedule dropped sharply, they were also silent at this time.
Who would have thought that a small-budget movie would have such an amazing box office.
Zhang Pu and the two didn't talk much.
Zhang Chu drove the car intently, but Zhang Pu picked up his mobile phone and checked it on the Internet.
"Qin Huang" has an amazing box office, but the word-of-mouth does not seem to be very satisfactory.
Maybe good, but it didn't live up to the expectations of the fans.
It was not as good as expected, and fans were naturally a little disappointed.
This inevitably brings a wave of darkness to the film.
In addition, "Emperor Qin" and "The Nameless" went to the ring.
Without contrast, there is no harm.
"The Nameless" and "Qin Huang" are actually not comparable, after all, different genres, fans may not understand the two films.
However, the ratings of "Nobody" are higher than those of "Qin Huang", whether it is on the movie network or on the light and shadow network.
This is an indisputable fact.
And "Nobody" exceeded the expectations of fans and gave fans a surprise. And "Qin Huang" is the opposite, the reputation may be good, but it does not meet the expectations of fans.
One eliminates the other, and "Emperor Qin" is naturally unlucky.
Now, the box office of "The Nameless" is close to "Emperor Qin", which undoubtedly gives it another blow.
Perhaps, is it really possible to overturn "Emperor Qin"?
When Zhang Pu thought of this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and he almost couldn't control his excitement.
Perhaps because of his martial arts practice, Zhang Pu is much better than ordinary people in terms of controlling his emotions.
Xu Jiadong has been in a state of excitement since he got the news.
"That's enough!" Xu Jiahui looked at her brother, pouted and said, "Where are you excited! It's like you've never seen the world. ”
""Nobody" won 130 million on the first day of the Spring Festival in the highly competitive Spring Festival, second only to Feng Jiashan's "Qin Huang", do you know what this means?" Xu Jiadong said, "A movie with an investment of 30 million yuan overturns two big productions......
""Nobody" is on fire, what does it matter to you, and you didn't shoot it. Xu Jiahui pouted and said.
"Why is it none of my business?" Xu Jiadong said, "The film makes money, and I can take nearly half of it." Hmph, all the money I spent on the movie before is back. Look who's laughing at me!"
Xu Jiahui rolled her eyes, she understood why her brother was so excited.
Of his words, the last one was the key.
He invested in movies before and lost a lot of money, but he was ridiculed by many people.
It's a pain in the face for him.
Now that Zhang Pu's film is a big hit again, it seems that he has the excitement of turning over as a serf and singing, which seems to be understandable.
"Loyal Dog Rhubarb" was a box office hit, didn't he have to be stunned for a long time?
"The film made money, are you sure you can take it?" Xu Jiahui said, "Aren't you going to buy a special effects company?
"Oh!"
Xu Jiadong was speechless for a moment.
"If you don't take it, won't the money be mine?"
Xu Jiadong reacted, his little sister is secretly changing the concept!
"I have to say how wise it was to give 60% of the shares of Oriental DreamWorks to Zhang Pu in the first place. Xu Jiadong then said with some sighs.
With 60 percent of the shares of a company that would have to go bankrupt without paying money, a God of Wealth was brought back.
Xu Jiadong was a little proud when he thought about it.
"Are you sure you're wise? Don't forget who suggested it. Xu Jiahui pouted and said.
"You just suggested pulling him into the shares, but you didn't suggest how much. Xu Jiadong said.
"If you give 51 percent, you can pull him in, but you give 60 percent, do you think it's wise?" Xu Jiahui said.
"Fifty-one percent, will he do it? Say it like you know?" Xu Jiadong said.
The reason why he was so generous at the beginning was entirely because he didn't have much money when he bought Oriental DreamWorks.
Of course, there is also a fear of giving less, and it is difficult to impress Zhang Pu.
After all, Zhang Pu became famous with "Crazy Stone" at that time, and many film and television companies in the circle wanted to recruit him.
He said it. Xu Jiahui said.
Xu Jiadong: ......
If you are willing to give up, you will have to give to you!
Xu Jiadong felt a heart-piercing pain, but he kept comforting himself.
Nine percent, how much does that cost?
I don't know in the future, but from the current point of view, I'm afraid there are a lot!
"Let's go back! Tan Siming estimates that he will be there in a while!" Zhang Pu got out of the car and said to Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu was not hypocritical and drove away.
However, to Zhang Pu's surprise, it was not Tan Siming who came first, but Huang Ye and Guo Ji.
The promotion of "The Nameless", as the main actors, will naturally be present to promote unless they can't get away.
When you promote a movie, you are not promoting yourself.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
Saying blessings to each other, Zhang Pu said with a smile: "For the New Year, let you run for publicity." ”
"The more things like this, the better. Huang Ye said with a smile.
Both of them are popular with Zhang Pu.
One starred in two films by Zhang Pu, and the other starred in three films, although they were both supporting roles.
Zhang Pu has only made a total of three films now.
"The Nameless" is now very popular, and they have naturally gained a lot.
After the film was screened, they received a lot of invitations, and now that it has only been released for one day, there are even more invitations.
Zhang Pu smiled when he heard it.
He has a good impression of Huang Ye, not just his good acting skills.
This guy has a fast brain and high emotional intelligence.
It's comfortable to get along with this kind of person!
The three of them chatted without saying a word, and not long after, Tan Siming arrived.
Then Zhang Yu also arrived.
Long Xiaoyun didn't come, she is still filming in a certain crew, and she can't get away.
Of course, this is also related to Long Xiaoyun's character.
She didn't feel any sense of propaganda or anything.
She is a real actress.
"Director Zhang, do you think our movie is expected to break one billion?" Zhang Yu asked.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Zhang Pu.
If the billion mark is broken, then the meaning is completely different.
Everyone knows that one billion is a seemingly insurmountable hurdle. I don't know how many big directors are here, if Zhang Pu steps over with a small-budget movie with an investment of 30 million, not only Zhang Pu, the director, will be "super god", but the actors who participate in them will definitely have unimaginable gains.
"It's hard to say. Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "If the box office durability of the film is high, it may be possible." ”
If the reporter had asked, he would certainly not have answered that.
But when Zhang Yu and others asked, they didn't have so many concerns.
Is "Nobody" expected to break a billion?
Really!
At least that's what Zhang Pu thinks.
And when the box office came out the next day, this possibility was confirmed.
According to the box office statistics on the second day of the Lunar New Year, many films seem to have declined slightly, and there are only three films left that still break 100 million at the box office in a single day, and "Thieves Don't Go Empty" fell to the 100 million mark, only more than 90 million.
"Emperor Qin" continued to be the single-day box office champion with 128 million.
"Nobody" came in second with 121 million.
"Black Panther" barely managed to hold the 100 million mark.
The box office seems to have declined, but the box office of "Nobody" on the first day has been added to the box office at the time of screening.
If you put this aside, "Nobody" is the only film that has increased its box office on the second day of release.
From this point of view, one billion is expected not to mention, I am afraid that there is still the possibility of overturning "Qin Huang" to win the single-day box office championship.
At the single-day box office on the second day, the distance between the two films has been shortened a lot!
