Chapter 686: The Folly of a Maniac
To say that Xiao Yao is most concerned about the recent period of time, of course, is the box office and word-of-mouth of the animated movie "Wall-E".
In the first four days of release, the movie won more than 300 million box office, and successfully became the weekly box office champion of the week. Although this result is very dazzling, there is also a certain reason because the end of June is not yet the beginning of the real summer season, and there are no too competitive films to be released at this time to compete with it.
In the first two days of the second week, with the word-of-mouth fermentation of the previous weekend and the further improvement of the film schedule, some schools were closed, and the box office of "Wall-E" was still very eye-catching, and it still got nearly 100 million box office in a single day. However, the first two days of the second week were the last two days of June, and not all schools had been closed, and there were still no more threatening competitors in these two days, so "Wall-E" got nearly 600 million at the box office in six days.
On Wednesday of the second week, the time officially entered July, and finally a "blockbuster" that looked more threatening was released. The overall schedule of "Wall-E" has dropped a bit, and the single-day box office has also declined to a certain extent, but the decline is not too large. On Thursday, another new movie was released, and the overall scheduling rate of "Wall-E" continued to decline, and the single-day box office also fell further.
Although the box office in the past two days has declined month-on-month, what is striking is that in the case of the impact of new movies and the continuous decline in film scheduling, the single-day box office decline of "Wal-E" is not normal, and there are still tens of millions of box office receipts.
Thursday night was Ms. Sun's first recital. Even if the so-called relatively "high-quality" audience generally attends the concert, after Xiao Yao appeared as a guest performer, some audience members still took out their mobile phones to record a video. A few hours after the concert ended on Thursday night, videos of Xiao Yao at the concert appeared on the Internet.
Six days after the movie was released, some reporters who couldn't find Xiao Yao to do an interview revealed the news that Xiao Yao was going to Sun Tingting's concert as a guest performer, and by the way, they also made an introduction to Sun Tingting's life. Classical concerts are relatively niche things, but with the recent popularity of Xiao Yao's movie box office and word-of-mouth, Xiao Yao's topic has exploded, and there are many netizens who pay attention to this concert, and it has also become a wave of ticket grabbing for Sun Tingting's concert.
didn't grab tickets for Sun Tingting's concert, and having a video to watch can be regarded as making up for it a little. So after the videos of these concerts were released, many people watched them, and they spread widely.
In the video, Xiao Yao plays electronic music at a classical concert, playing the piano with one hand and operating the electronic music pad with the other hand at the same time, and Sun Tingting also specially introduced the last three new pieces at the end of the song, all of which are Xiao Yao's works. After these videos spread, Xiao Yao once again became the object of heated discussion on the Internet.
Spurred on by the upsurge of discussion sparked by the videos of these recitals, Xiao Yao's film managed to reverse its decline on Friday, recovering to Wednesday's single-day box office results. On Saturday, the single-day box office of the movie rose to the results of the first weekend, once again exceeding the single-day box office of 100 million yuan, and surpassing the two new films released this week and winning the single-day box office championship.
Ten days after its release, the total box office of the animated film "Wall-E" has touched the edge of the billion mark.
Although Xiao Yao has not done any further publicity activities after the release of the movie, as the creator and main investor of the film, he has been paying attention to the box office situation of the film. He receives a copy of the box office data from the distributor in his mailbox every day, and he also takes time to look at it every night during this time.
Zhao Rui's graduation ceremony is the eleventh day of the film's release, and now the official statistics have not been released, and the distributor has not sent the official data for Sunday, but there are bloggers on Weibo who share the film and television industry data have released Sunday's box office data. Xiao Yao mainly went to Weibo at this time to take a look at the Sunday box office data released by the blogger "Movie Box Office".
Judging from the data released by this blogger, the single-day box office of "Wal-E" on Sunday exceeded 100 million again, and the total box office not only exceeded the 1 billion mark, but also exceeded 1.1 billion.
Generally, the producer of a movie can get about one-third of the share at the box office, but the specific share ratio of each movie is not exactly the same.
The distribution company Xiao Yao found this time in Huaxia is only medium, and he did not let the distribution company use the methods of promising guarantees, buying out distribution, and prepaying production fees, etc., and the distributor's share ratio is relatively small, and at the same time, he did not promise box office rebates to theaters and theaters, so the producer's share ratio of this movie is also slightly higher, and the share that can be obtained is about 36%.
With a box office of 1.1 billion, the producer's share can reach almost 400 million. For a film that costs less than 200 million to make, this return on investment has reached 100%. The release of this film is not over yet, and there is a series of revenues from overseas distribution, TV station screenings and online broadcasts, copyrights, licenses, and derivatives, at least commercially speaking, the film has been very successful.
In terms of word-of-mouth, the movie's ratings on various rating websites are still strong. On the "Tudou" network, the film's rating dropped slightly, but it still has a score of 8.7.
The film had a rating of 8.5 at its lowest. After the investigation and analysis of the distributor, it was found that the decline in the rating of this movie is likely to have been deliberately swiped low by the Internet water army on the rating website, and the object of suspicion is naturally the producer and distributor of the two movies released in July.
During the day on Saturday, the person in charge of the distribution company and Tong Luo also discussed with Xiao Yao through an online video conference whether to buy the same water army to brush back the score or go to the two competitors to brush the low score. In the end, Xiao Yao, as the main investor, vetoed this approach.
In his previous life, when he was an ordinary movie fan, Xiao Yao was very disgusted with this kind of behavior of hiring water armies to score points. As a practitioner in the industry in this life, Xiao Yao knows that this kind of thing is very common in the industry, but he still tries to avoid it himself. In fact, in terms of Xiao Yao's appeal among fans, as long as he goes to post a bar, fan group and other places to shout that he is attacked by a water army, I believe that he doesn't need to buy a water army, and fans can immediately brush back the rating of the movie to him, but he didn't do it either.
After watching Zhao Rui's rehearsal on Friday night, Xiao Yao also took the time to secretly go to the cinema to watch two newly released movies. In Xiao Yao's view, the prospects of these two movies that sell feelings are average, and even if the score of "Wall-E" is lowered, it will not improve their box office performance much. If it doesn't work, then this kind of scoring behavior will definitely not last long.
In fact, it is. After two days over the weekend, Vali's rating was back at 8.7.
There is nothing to worry about at the box office and word of mouth, so there is nothing to worry about in this movie. After briefly watching the news and information about the movie, Xiao Yao went to his post bar again.
In his post bar, a post about the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie "Wall-E" was pinned. The post is updated daily with the film's box office and ratings on various rating sites. After visiting the post bar, Xiao Yao found that the fans in the post bar had already discovered that "Wall-E" had suffered malicious points. It's just that Xiao Yao has rarely torn apart with people on the Internet, and in the absence of evidence, Xiao Yao's fans did not tear up the two new movies on the Internet, but spontaneously went to rating websites such as "Potato" to brush up on a wave of high scores for "Vali" and pulled the score back.
"Teacher Tong and Mr. Zhao should also pay attention to my posts, so that they won't be worried. After reading the post in the post bar, Xiao Yao thought with both pride and relief.
In addition to the situation of the movie "Wall-E", there are two other new posts in the post bar that have been pinned recently.
One of them is that a small bar owner collected the video of Xiao Yao participating in Sun Tingting's concert on the Internet and posted it in a post. Because the effect of the mobile phone video is too poor, the poster also shouted at Xiao Yao at the end of the post to record and release the official version of these four songs. There are a lot of people who follow the appeal in the reply post below the post, and the formation is neat, which looks very spectacular.
The other pinned post has a similar content, but it was posted earlier. This post is a screenshot of Xiao Yao's video clip of singing "Childhood" in "Longing for Life". While the video clip from the TV show was much better, at the end of the post, the poster also called on Xiao Yao to record and release the official version of "Childhood." The line of replies and follow-ups below this post is also very neat, and it looks more spectacular due to the earlier posting time, the number of replies is higher, and the floor is higher.
Because Xiao Yao's new song is really eclectic, in fact, posts like this calling for the recording and release of the official version of the song often appear in Xiao Yao's post bar. Xiao Yao comes to Tieba from time to time, but not always he will immediately fulfill the wishes of his fans. For example, "One Night in Yanjing" and "Fly Higher", which were sung during the art examination that year, were released after a long time before the official version was released.
This time, seeing fans so intimately and spontaneously go to the rating website to score their movies, Xiao Yao was very moved. This time to go to the United States is not short, Xiao Yao wants to meet the wishes of the fans on Tieba before leaving. Anyway, if you fly to the United States at noon tomorrow, you will have more than ten hours to sleep on the plane, and an all-nighter tonight is nothing to Xiao Yao. There is a recording studio at home, and the recording studio in the basement has a very good sound insulation effect, and I am not afraid of noisy parents and Lin Qisan.
However, Xiao Yao didn't come exactly according to the requirements of the fans of the sticker bar. Although Xiao Yao can record alone now, all four tunes in the concert have Sun Tingting's participation, one of which was adapted by Sun Tingting herself, and the other three can be said to be written by Xiao Yao for Sun Tingting, so there must be a part played by Sun Tingting in the official version. It's already early in the morning, and it doesn't matter if Xiao Yao doesn't sleep by himself, but it is impossible to call Sun Tingting to record at this time.
The four pieces of the concert were not recorded, and Xiao Yao wanted to record more than one "Childhood", as well as "The Embrace of Breakup" that he sang at the graduation dinner of the Yandian Performance Department just now.
When singing at the casual dinner, Xiao Yao noticed that someone took out his mobile phone and took a video of himself. Now there is no video of this song on the Internet, Xiao Yao thinks it is mostly because those people drank too much and slept together. After waking up tomorrow, the video of this song should also appear on the Internet, and at that time, it is estimated that there will be one more post asking for the release of the official version of the song, so it is better to record it now. It's graduation season, and it's just right for this song to be released at this time.
Xiao Yao, who decided to record songs all night, turned off the computer, got up and went to the recording studio in the basement.
Xiao Yao is going to fly to the United States today, and Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, the parents, also got up early.
"Bayi seems to have drunk a lot yesterday, isn't it too early to call him now?" Ye Jiaying asked Xiao Siqi.
After Ye Jiaying got up, she went to the kitchen early to make a hearty breakfast, but after she made it, she was a little hesitant whether she should wake up Xiao Yao so early.
"I see that he is very energetic after coming back last night, it doesn't look like he drank too much!" Xiao Siqi said, "Normally, at this time, he has already come back from his workout, but now he hasn't even opened the door, and he has slept a lot more than usual." ”
When the two got up and left the room, they noticed that the door of Xiao Yao's room was closed. Usually when Xiao Yao lives at home, he usually leaves the door open after getting up.
"I'll call him!" Xiao Siqi said, stepping to Xiao Yao's room upstairs.
"Wait!" Ye Jiaying stopped, "What about the noon plane! It's still early, don't worry, it's rare that he doesn't exercise early, let him sleep more!"
"What's early?" Xiao Siqi muttered, "He's not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry! He hasn't sung that song to me yesterday yet! I've been waiting all night!"
"Hey, is there someone like you being a father?" Ye Jiaying glared at Xiao Siqi and said.
"No," Xiao Siqi hurriedly changed his words with a smile, "You see that your breakfast is ready, and it's not good if it's cold." In order to save your hard work in the morning, I will tell him to come down for breakfast!"
"No!" Ye Jiaying said, "It's summer now, it's just right to eat cold!"
Ye Jiaying, who was still hesitant to ask Xiao Yao to get up so early, simply got into a fight with her husband.
"Uncle Xiao, Aunt Ye, morning!" the two were raising the bar, Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli went downstairs together and greeted the two.
"Morning!" Ye Jiaying put on a smiling face and greeted the two of them, "It's just that breakfast is ready, let's have breakfast!"
"Don't you wait for Bayi to come back?" Lin Qisan looked around and said with some doubts.
"Don't wait for him, let him sleep more~" Ye Jiaying waved her hand, and then reacted and said, "No!
"Why do you sleep more?" Lin Qisan also said curiously, "I went to call Bayi just now, and found that there was no one in his room, didn't he go out to exercise early?
"Is it really out to exercise early?" Xiao Siqi took out his mobile phone and said, "Call and ask, he should have his mobile phone with him!"
But before Xiao Siqi could take out his mobile phone, Ye Jiaying found Xiao Yao walking out of the door leading to the basement under the stairs.
"Bayi, why did you go to the basement early in the morning?" Ye Jiaying said strangely.
In addition to the recording studio, the basement of the Xiao family is a utility room, and the gym and other rooms are on the second floor.
"Of course, I went to the studio to record. Xiao Yao smiled, his voice a little hoarse.
"Go to the studio early in the morning to record?" Ye Jiaying said.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Xiao Siqi keenly noticed that Xiao Yao's voice was wrong.
"It's not early in the morning, I went early in the morning, and I've been recording until now. After recording all night, isn't it like this?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
The arrangement and soundtrack of the two previous life songs are in Xiao Yao's mind, and it is not the first time that Xiao Yao has recorded songs by himself, the use and operation of various instruments and equipment are very familiar, and it will not take too long to record the official versions of the two songs. But it was already early in the morning when Xiao Yao went to record, and he drank a lot of wine at dinner the day before, and his voice was not very good, and he was relatively strict with the official version of his songs, so it was not until now that Xiao Yao recorded two songs and came out of the recording studio.
"What are you recording all night?" Xiao Siqi asked.
"Just yesterday's song, "The Embrace of Breakup", didn't you say you wanted to listen to it?" Xiao Yao smiled, "It's going to fly at noon, I want to record it before leaving, and I will stay all night." ”
"It's all you!" Ye Jiaying glared at Xiao Siqi.
Xiao Siqi glanced at Ye Jiaying very innocently, and then turned back to reprimand Xiao Yao and said: "You kid is stupid! I said I want to listen, you just get up in the morning and take the guitar and sing it to me, who wants you to record the official version? Do you want to record it all night? Even if you want to record, you can wait for us to get up now, let's go together, and I'll record it for you!"
"Okay, it's not because of you!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, "I'm actually a fan of my bar friend!"
"For the sake of the fans?" Xiao Siqi said strangely.
"I not only recorded "The Embrace of Breakup", but also "Childhood"!" Xiao Yao said, "In fact, the main thing is to record "Childhood". I went to the post bar last night, and I found that many people in the post bar posted that they wanted the official version of "Childhood", and I wanted to record it before I went to the United States. Yesterday, when I sang the song "Breakup Embrace", a classmate with a stone recorded a video.,I estimate that in two days, there will be a bar friend in the post bar to post the official version.,I'll record it together by the way.。 ”
"But you're right!" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "I should wait until I get up in the morning and ask you to help me record it, and it should be in time." But I didn't expect it last night, and I ran to the recording studio as soon as my brain was hot. ”
"What a madman!" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying shook their heads helplessly.
"By the way," Xiao Yao looked at Lin Qisan and Nina and said, "Don't stab me in the net about this! I don't want people to know that I did such a stupid thing!"
