Chapter 354: Super Strange Little Dark Horse
After the screening of "The Camera Can't Stop", the applause lasted for up to a minute, even if there were only fifty or sixty people in the screening hall, but it could still be called a wave of applause, extremely warm, and with the end credits broadcast, many people discovered the name of Rin Chihara, and they also suddenly realized, and they were no longer confused about the excellent production level of this film - even if Rin Chihara is not well-known in the independent film industry, he is also a well-known TV producer, and it is normal for him to have a high level.
By the time the lights in the screening room came back on, everyone was already wondering why Rin Chihara had suddenly made such an independent film, and why the creative team and the acting team were all together - works shot for practice?
Regardless of this, the Holy Son, Aiko, and Kirisha got up and left the screening room together.
As soon as he went out, the Holy Son asked expectantly, "Isn't it particularly beautiful?"
This is the first time she has participated in the whole work, and she is very satisfied with the finished product, and she hopes to be praised by her friends.
Now that it's finally out, it's natural to ask quickly - you guys praise me, I'm the line screenwriter of this movie, and I worked so hard during filming, I really mustered all the courage in my life!
This should be a common problem for every creator, who wants others to praise his works, and Aiko nodded violently and said happily: "It's good-looking, the picture of you carrying a prop bucket and spilling blood around at the beginning is particularly funny." Your big ass looks bigger on the screen. Hey, did you notice, there's a shot of this big ass running over, and half of the screen was her ass, hahaha......"
She said to Wusha in the second half, and Wusha was not polite to the Holy Son, she smiled so much that her waist was bent, and she echoed again and again: "Yes, yes, I saw it, it's really big and fat!"
For them, whether the movie is good or not is secondary, and it is more important to be ugly and ugly, and they are very excited there at this time - good friends should insult each other, otherwise they are good friends!
The Holy Son was directly depressed, which was different from what she thought, according to the normal plot, the two friends should praise her repeatedly, holding her hand very enthusiastically, telling her that she would definitely succeed in the future, and she thanked her happily and shyly.
This is the bloody friendship, this is the youth without regrets......
She felt that her life was very gloomy for a while, and she suspected that she had not accumulated virtue in her previous life to meet these two bastards, but she wanted to lose her temper and couldn't, she held it for a while, her eyes were a little red, and she said angrily: "I will never invite you to watch a movie in the future!"
After saying that, she walked straight to the exit, as if she was ready to ignore the two unlucky friends for a short time, and Aiko and Kisa saw that she was really angry, and they stopped joking, and hurriedly chased after her and coaxed her: "Okay, okay, we were wrong, don't take your ...... Haha, no kidding your ass. ”
But your ass is just big and fat, we really can't control it!
The Holy Son was still a little unhappy, but there was nothing good to do with these two unlucky friends, and he was used to it, so he could only continue the topic just now, and asked sullenly: "Then do you think this movie is good?
Wusha is much more serious this time, knowing that his good friend is also one of the production team, he really wants to know what others think of the film, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "If I were to evaluate, I would say that this movie is full of creativity, very interesting, and the shooting is careful enough, and it is very comfortable to watch, at least 7.5 points...... 8 points, at least 1200 yen ticket price is not in vain, can be said to be worth the money. ”
This is not a high evaluation, but the Holy Son didn't care much, she knew this good friend of hers, this guy is actually quite picky about his tastes, he is a representative of the rational audience, it is basically difficult to give a high score, he didn't spit, and he disdainfully picked a fault for a while It is already a big success.
In fact, she attaches more importance to the view of the mountain god Aiko, Aiko is an ordinary person, and this guy represents the appreciation level of the general public.
She immediately turned to Aiko and asked, "What do you think, Aiko?"
Aiko looked up and thought for a while, and said, "Even if I don't mention what you are, I think it's very good-looking, and I feel very interesting, and after reading it, think about it, in fact, ...... I'd like to see it a second time. ”
"Look at it a second time?"
"Yes, I smiled in front of me, and after watching the part of the later shooting, I wanted to see the previous part again, and I felt that it was also interesting to watch it again. ”
The Holy Son was very happy, and immediately put his hands on his chest and asked, "Then you like this movie?"
"yes, I like it. Aiko said honestly: "Maybe it's not a classic, but it's fun and warm, and it's worth watching." ”
The Holy Son patted his chest and said with relief: "Then I will be relieved." As long as the work can be liked by the audience, she doesn't have to worry about anything else, and she doesn't need to worry about it, and she immediately said happily: "Let's go, let's go eat ice cream and celebrate!"
To be able to participate in the creation and filming of such an excellent work, and to be praised by her friends, she is really happy, ready to hemorrhage for a treat, and it doesn't matter if she spends all her pocket money.
"Ice cream?" "Ice cream?" Fog Sha was stunned, and immediately bent down, holding the arm of the Holy Son, and said with a wink: "Second adult, be careful of the steps." ”
Aiko smashed her skull with a punch and scolded: "You foodie, don't be so spineless all day long, give me wait!"
Fog Sha protested: "What are you waiting for, eat ice cream first!"
Aiko pointed to the bar behind her and said, "It seems that someone is asking for another screening of "The Camera Can't Stop", and I want to see the front again." ”
The Holy Son and Fog Sha turned their heads to look together, and found that there were indeed a few people at the bar who made requests, as if they wanted to postpone the screening of the next independent film and play "The Camera Can't Stop" again - of course it is impossible to put it in a public cinema chain, but this kind of private small theater has no contractual scheduling requirements, and what to put basically depends on the boss's mood.
Moreover, the people there were still gathering more and more, and the people who were drinking coffee or chatting in the hall were also alarmed, and they came over one after another, began to ask, and seemed to be interested, ready to watch today's independent films.
The Holy Son was even happier, as the creator and participant of the film, there was nothing more exciting than this scene, and immediately said: "Let's go and ask for it too, it's good to put one more show!"
Fog Yarn was not very willing, she still wanted to eat ice cream, and resisted: "No......"
Aiko was not polite to her, and twisted her little thin arm: "Less nonsense, the minority obeys the majority!"
This time, Aiko and Shengzi dragged her into the screening hall, and this time there was a big difference from the one just now, the attendance rate soon exceeded 60%, and the number of moviegoers was still gathering more and more under the call of friends......
............
Early the next morning, as soon as Rin Chihara entered the office, before his ass was firmly seated, Iori Murakami chased him in, and said with an excited expression: "Chihara, why did you come so late, the box office came out on the first day." ”
Rin Chihara smiled: "It seems to be good news." ”
Iori Murakami took a deep breath and said vigorously: "Far beyond expectations, the box office last night totaled 3,855,750 yen!"
Rin Chihara didn't take it seriously, but he was stunned for a moment and was slightly surprised.
Of course, he is not surprised by the figure of more than 3.8 million yen, but in the golden age of the film market, there were many movies that grossed more than 1 billion yen on the first day, and 3.8 million was only a fraction of the price of others, which was not worth mentioning at all - he was surprised that this figure exceeded the expected figure by more than three times, and it was estimated that it should only be about 1.1 million yen.
He asked strangely, "Aren't there only thirteen theaters that are released, and why is the box office so good?"
After the filming of "The Camera Can't Stop", Iori Murakami's work of contacting independent theaters has been much smoother, and there are currently more than 30 theaters willing to screen, and this is already a lot, there are only sixty or seventy independent theaters in Tokyo, and many of them can't find where for a while - in terms of contacting independent theaters, Chihara Rinto's fame doesn't play much role, at most it can only be used as a stepping stone, after all, many of these independent theaters are not for profit, or profit should be considered after something, and he will not be given any privileges.
But fortunately, the finished effect of "The Camera Can't Stop" is really good, and it is easy to touch the hearts of independent theater owners - it is difficult to entangle, the most such theater has dozens of investors, the management is quite chaotic, Murakami Iori's legs are all thin, and a theater has to be persuaded many times.
And even if they are persuaded that they can be released, independent theaters are not systematic, each with its own plans and arrangements, and you say that it is not easy to let them move in step and release a certain film in a unified manner.
In the end, it took several days for Iori Murakami to coordinate the release of thirteen independent theaters, large and small, last night, and the others will be launched in the next few days, and she can't do anything about it.
In this regard, Rin Chihara is already very satisfied, after all, the original work was released in two theaters at the beginning, and now it is more than six and a half times, and it can't be more demanding.
It's just that now only thirteen small theaters have achieved a box office of more than 3.8 million yen, which is really strange, obviously the results of a single theater are too high, and Iori Murakami looked even more excited, explaining: "I was also very strange at the time, and I found out after asking one by one that "The Camera Can't Stop" was very popular last night, and the most one theater screened five times!"
"Five? Isn't that nearly ten hours? And this kind of small theater has a midnight show?"
"It was added temporarily, and it was screened until midnight, and some people were specially called by friends to watch it!" "Iori Murakami was radiant, ten times more beautiful than the previous day, obviously no pressure, and her smile was very bright, "The audience liked it very much, the market response was very good, and even someone contacted me at twelve o'clock last night, hoping that their theater could show this movie...... Guess where this theater is?"
"Where?"
"Iwaide City in Kansai! Now even the people in Wakayama Prefecture have heard about it, and it's only been one night!"
Rin Chihara was also relieved, feeling that the word-of-mouth fermentation of the movie was going well, but he smiled: "It's not surprising, the circle of independent films is not big, and it is normal for news to be transmitted quickly, I think you will be busier in the next few days, and there will be more and more theaters willing to show it." ”
Iori Murakami smiled, "It would be great if it could be like this." Then she was a little unwilling, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I couldn't publicize it well, I should have entrusted favors and asked someone to send some advertorials, so that there should be more people watching it now." ”
She wanted to use the contacts she had accumulated in the past to beg people to ask for a layout for publicity and warm up for the premiere, but Chihara Rin felt that it was unnecessary, and now she still insists on this view, and said with a smile: "As long as the audience likes it, it will naturally attract attention, and there is no need to ask people to owe favors, isn't it better now...... As I said earlier, let's win by word of mouth this time, the lower the cost, the more gimmicks the more sufficient, no need to publicize too much, just wait patiently. ”
Now that the situation is very good, naturally everything that Chihara Rin said is right, Murakami Iori has no objection, and directly gets up and says: "Then according to the original plan, you have a good rest and make up for sleep, and then leave it to me!"
She is full of confidence, and she feels that the more she does it in the film operation class, the more she tastes it, although she doesn't roll up her sleeves, but looking at her expression, she is ready to take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and do a good job.
Chihara Rin didn't send her either, but just reminded: "The better the response, the faster the station will find out, send it as soon as you have money, don't leave it in the account...... By the way, how much can we get from last night's more than 3.8 million?"
Murakami Iori and his line of love and love, is an extremely good white bone spirit, although he is a newcomer in the film production industry, but these basic knowledge has been cleared, much stronger than Chihara Rinren, and immediately said: "If the box office income is distributed, the national cultural cultivation fund will be drawn 3.5%, which is mandatory." Yinglun is a public welfare organization, which can be given or not, but it is tacitly necessary to help them with a sum of money. The film industry union will also take a share from the box office, about 0.5%, and there is the state tax, but this will be returned to the cultural subsidy, and the overall conversion is about 9%. The rest is our share with the theater, the theater takes about 65%, and we take the rest, which is about 1.2 million yen. ”
Rin Chihara nodded silently and made a movie, even if it was an independent film, because it was released commercially and had a box office, but the cats and dogs who had never heard of it all came to share the money, which was really speechless.
But it's okay, it seems that the overall can get about 30% - the theater should take the lion's share, they cost more, and the producer takes 30% of the relative ticket income of each theater, which is more overall.
He thought about it in his heart for a while, independent films, there is no distributor, and there is no publicity expense, so these three achievements are all his own people, according to the box office of more than 3 billion yuan of the original work, there will probably be an income of about one billion yen, as long as it is not snatched away by Eishi Ohashi - this problem is not big, "Oki Ji" took precautions, asked for the entire budget in advance, and was worried that the compilation committee would take it back, so he deliberately opened a special account, which was controlled by Iori Murakami and him, and there was no way to withdraw money directly from the station.
As for saying that Taili forcibly ordered it to be handed over, whatever, Eishi Ohashi rushed into the basement and bit him, and he definitely didn't give it anyway.
Of course, it is still possible to send it early, and send it as soon as it arrives, so that the money goes directly into the pockets of the working group, and don't give the station any chance to be the most perfect.
Then according to the income of one billion yen, four or five hundred people will be divided into one cent, and each person will have more than two million yen, even if it is not much, it is definitely enough to subsidize the members of the working group in a short period of time, and it feels good.
As long as the goal is achieved, Rin Chihara will be honest, and he has no intention of changing careers to make movies, so it will be fine for him, as long as the working group can be maintained, he doesn't think about anything else.
He didn't ask anything more, and when he saw Iori Murakami, who had entered a super excited state, leave, he turned his head and began to busy himself - when he became a senior member of the TV station, he must not let the situation go on like this, make a plan first, and think about what to do then.
After all, it's not a bad thing to think about it when you're idle.
But he entered a state of autism and no longer cared about a small independent movie, but the outside world began to become more and more lively, and countless drama critics and film critics were stunned to find that he made a super strange independent movie little dark horse, and instantly turned their eyes on the past.
