Chapter Twenty-Three: The Thoroughness of the Flutter (Ask for a Recommendation Vote!)

11.11th, Saturday, Singles' Day, fine

Global Time: 8:55 a.m

In the conference room of Gold Medal Soft Rice Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., Shan Huatang, Zheng Fangyuan, Zhang Huiming, Fang Zhengming, and Wang Jiankang sat together, nervously looking at the data on the electronic screen.

The electronic screen shows the box office data of the movie "32 Days of Broken Love".

It's a backstage statistic that was specially created to update the all-day box office revenue of twenty-five private theaters in real time.

The movie is pre-sold half an hour in advance, and the film starts to end sales, and the total sales amount is automatically updated within a few minutes after the end of sales.

At 9:00, it took two months, and this movie, which embodies the hard work of all the employees of Gold Soft Rice Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., finally officially premiered.

Judging from the sales data of the first session, it is very unsatisfactory, and it can be said that the results are outrageously poor.

The ticket price is uniform, 20 yuan a piece, up to now, the sales of this show is 3,000 yuan, and there are only 6 people watching each theater on average.

Horribly low attendance.

Fang Zhengming jumped up, "I'll it, this is too little, isn't it!, why is it only 3,000 yuan, is it less than a 0?"

According to estimates, there are 60 people in each session, and the sales of the first session are 30,000 yuan.

Although the difference is only one zero, it is a 10-fold difference!

Shan Huatang waved his hand, "What's the hurry, this is the first scene, it can't explain anything, let's wait." ”

A few others chimed in, saying that this first scene didn't mean anything.

The five of them continued to wait for the second sale.

At 10:30, the second pre-sale began, and sales stopped at 11:00, this one, the sales were 2,500 yuan, and the average attendance rate was 5.

It's down!

Fang Zhengming was anxious, "Why didn't it go up but down?"

The other people are still very calm, it's only one morning, I can't see anything, and it is estimated that there will be more in the afternoon.

But sometimes, people are really not as good as heaven.

The imagination is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

On Saturday, the box office of the movie "32 Days of Broken Love" continued to decline.

At 12:30, the pre-sale starts, and the sales stop at 13:00, the sales volume of this field is 2500 yuan, and the average attendance rate is 5.

At 14:30, the pre-sale began, and the sales stopped at 15:00, with a sales volume of 2,480 yuan and an average attendance rate of 4.96.

At 17:00, the pre-sale began, and the sales stopped at 17:50, and the sales in this field were 1,800 yuan, with an average attendance rate of 3.6.

By 19:00, sales stopped, and the sales of this session were 1500 yuan, and the average attendance rate was 3.

Up to now, 6 screenings have been held, with a total sales of only 13,780 and an average turnover of 551.2 yuan per theater.

It's the worst statistic ever!

Fang Zhengming is going crazy, this is just rotten!

"It's over, this movie is a flutter, 4 million, all of them are lost!"

Zheng Fangyuan, Zhang Huiming, and Fang Zhengming frowned tightly and were silent.

I was so full of confidence that I was about to overflow.

Now seeing this result, they can't accept it.

Obviously, I have done a lot of publicity, accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth through the trial, and has a certain amount of expectations, how can the result be so miserable?

Didn't you say that today is Singles' Day, and this movie is specially customized for Singles' Day?

What about good resonance?

Or are people reluctant to go to private theaters to watch it?

Or is Liu Dajun's eight lambs sabotaging again?

Wang Jianxing looked at Shan Huatang, who was meditating with his eyes closed, not knowing whether he couldn't accept the result or what he was still expecting.

He decided to ease his brothers' emotions.

"Don't worry, it's only the first day today, maybe people haven't seen it yet, and there may be more people later. ”

But everyone actually knows that if people don't go to see it in the first half of the day, it's understandable, it's rare to have a Saturday off, but no one has watched it in the afternoon, and there are fewer and fewer people watching it, then it means that not many people want to see it.

Not surprisingly, this movie is pounced, and it is very thorough.

Fang Zhengming hugged his head and really wanted to cry.

On the electronic display screen, a red line continues to show a downward trend.

Shan Huatang was pondering, he was thinking about a question, was he too arrogant?

In the first nine lives, he was only responsible for teaching acting skills, although he understood the process from the production of film and television dramas to the release, but he never went down to do it, because it was not necessary.

In this life, he is full of confidence and wants to try to shoot, produce, and distribute, and he feels that as long as there is a good script and the marketing is in place, there will be no problem in returning to the cost.

But the results were far from ideal.

He doesn't think it's a problem with private theaters, because the price of private theaters is cheaper than that of large theaters, and the environment is better, so there is no reason for people not to go.

Then the problem can only be with this movie.

Is the plot unpleasant?

Or is it poorly edited?

Or maybe people in this world don't like this kind of subject?

Shan Huatang decided to do a good job of self-reflection and strive for the success of the next movie.

Hearing that borrowing alcohol can kill his sorrows, he suddenly wants to drink.

"How about we stay here today without getting drunk?"

"Okay, I'll go buy something to eat!"

"I'm going to buy a drink!"

The five brothers all thought so, and they were worried, and it would be nice to pour it with wine.

Night falls, in an upscale villa

Liu Dajun is checking the message in the group.

The group is called the 'Movie Intelligence Group'

It is full of relevant personnel in the film and television industry, who usually discuss movies and plots, and whenever a new movie is released, they will pay attention to the box office and broadcast it in the group in real time.

At this time, someone happened to be saying that a new movie was released today, called "32 Days of Broken Love".

'I know about this little film, I've seen their cuts a while ago.'

'The starring role is a third-tier star, and the director has never heard of it'

'There's a private theater next to my house that advertises for screenings, but I haven't seen it for a day.'

"I don't know what the producer thinks, in a private theater, isn't this looking for a loss?"

'This producer is estimated to be a sand sculpture'

"The producer is going to lose all the pants."

···

Liu Dajun took a sip of the freshly ground coffee of his wife Lin Xinxin, tasted it carefully, and only felt that the coffee was so sweet today.

"Just a few of you want to make a movie? Do you really think you can make a movie and make money as long as you spend a little money? A bunch of sand sculptures!"

······

If you want to say that one of the people in the worst mood today, there must be Wang Xukun.

I couldn't sleep at 6 o'clock this morning, and I went to the Star Cinema at 7 o'clock to open and wait for business.

He waited from 7 to 8:30 a.m., and finally waited for the first viewer.

He's a happy start!

Soon, a second viewer arrived.

He felt that the family fortune was beckoning to him.

A few minutes later, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth moviegoers came, but they were all friends he had invited to the premiere.

Then, until 9 o'clock, no more moviegoers came.

He had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, although there were moviegoers in every subsequent show, there were only a few people.

Everyone was rushing away, and Wang Xukun didn't have time to ask how it was.

Although the friends he invited all said that they were good-looking, he knew that it was polite words.

Until 19:00 in the evening, the sixth show began, and a total of 30 moviegoers were received throughout the day.

Wang Xukun is completely bored.

"Alas, since ancient times, who has not died, but why is it my turn?"

There is no hope for the family property!
