Chapter 15 What to do if you run out of money?
"Director Lu is going to make a fortune! When the box office is in hand, at least we have to be invited to the Diaoyutai Restaurant for a meal." ”
Kun Ding and Zhang Xiaoya guessed correctly, the reaction of the theater chain was faster than they imagined.
In the afternoon, soon the number of screenings and theaters of "Twelve Angry Men" expanded to the whole country.
Five shows a day, more than 1,000 theaters play together, this hand, is almost like a blockbuster.
After all, those theater owners are not fools, a movie with good quality and reputation, and there are hot opinions across the country.
No matter how you look at it, this time is the best time to make money, and if you don't increase the number of shows and screens, won't you have trouble with money?
Even "Reservoir Dogs" with Kun Town has also been stained with a lot of light, not only has the number of screenings increased, but there have also been a lot more theaters.
"Do you think the people of Huayi Company will not recognize our contract and swallow our box office directly?"
After the box office came out on the third day, Lu Yi couldn't calm down, so he went to Kun Town early in the morning.
At this time, the single-day box office of "Twelve Angry Men" soared directly to more than five million a day, and the total box office was already six million.
Even "Reservoir Dogs", the total box office at this time is almost close to one million.
Such a large sum of money scared Lu Yi.
What's more, the box office is so high, and no one talks to them about sharing, and he can't be sure.
"No, they don't have to ruin their friendship with a rising director because of a movie. They are film and television distribution companies, and they all have their own mature set of operating systems. After the movie is drawn, you will know when the box office is divided. ”
When he said this, Kunmachi himself was not quite sure.
There is a saying in Huaguo that wealth moves people's hearts.
It's only been three days now, and the two movies have brought nearly seven million box office, and if they can be released for a full month, the box office of these two movies is estimated to exceed 100 million.
You must know that before this, their movie didn't do any publicity.
"The box office share will not be available until the movie is drawn?"
Lu Yi was still worried about whether the money could come to him, but Kun Town's words immediately diverted his attention.
"That's right, generally speaking, the movie is roughly half a month to a month to draw, and if the movie is good, there may be an extension. Your movie, at least a month later. ”
Kun Town glanced at Lu Yi curiously, and didn't understand why this guy didn't even know this, because he had always regarded this guy as his predecessor before.
"In a month's time, what will I eat next?"
The little money that Zhang Xiaoya compensated for was a bit expensive in the past few days, and after sending some home, Lu Yi didn't have a few dollars left in his hand.
If you have to wait for a month or more, you will have to drink the northwest wind again.
After listening to Kun Town's words, Lu Yi was dumbfounded, he always thought that the box office could be settled every week!
Because he searched on the Internet, many movies are settled and shared in this way.
So I've been very indifferent, leisurely waiting to settle for myself.
Now it's gone, what to do?
"Shall I lend you some money?"
Kun glanced at his wallet and hesitated.
After coming to the imperial capital and settling down, he doesn't have much left, and it should be no problem to support his movie box office.
If you want to give some to Lu Yi, it won't be enough.
"You don't have any source of income now, and you don't know the place here, so how can you borrow me? ”
Lu Yi wants to borrow money, it shouldn't be difficult at this time, but he is not very willing to open that mouth, let's look at it first, and then think of other ways.
It's really not good, he can still do his old job and take artistic photos of those beauty-loving women in Hualou.
"By the way, look at this, the newspaper I saw outside today. ”
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't need to borrow money by himself, Kun Town thought for a moment and took out a newspaper from the room and gave it to him.
"Twelve Angry Men from a legal point of view?"
After Lu Yi took the newspaper, he saw these big words on the first page.
This is the authoritative mainstream newspaper of the empire, but it released its own movie on the first page, when did he have such a big influence?
"Look at the article, the author has a very high opinion of your film, it is in line with the spirit of the law that the empire is promoting, and he thinks that your film should be a must-see for all law students. ”
There is no need for Kun Town to explain, Lu Yi also saw this.
The author of this article said a lot of things, and Lu Yi saw two meanings after reading it.
The first is that "Twelve Angry Men" is very awesome, and the second is that this movie embodies the legal spirit of the empire very well.
"Is my movie so good? Does that mean the box office is going to go up again?"
Did you think about this when you were making a movie? Lu Yi looked at the article in the newspaper and tried to think about it.
It doesn't seem to be, because I just restored the movie from the dream and didn't think about anything.
However, this kind of authoritative newspaper touted himself, and Lu Yi was still very excited, because it meant that he would earn more.
"Definitely! Not only did this newspaper talk about your movie, but I heard that the prime news time of TV Station 1 also reported on your movie, and the leaders above spoke highly of this movie!"
Make a point!
After listening to Kun Town's words, Lu Yi finally understood why this was the case.
"Hey, no matter how high the box office is, it will take a long time to get it, this is really a sad story!"
After hearing Lu Yi's words, Kun suddenly felt a little itchy in his hands, and he wanted to hit someone.
"Your movie is popular, and the movie in Kuncho is also good, what should you two do next?
When Lu Yi was worried about how he would spend his next days, Zhang Xiaoya came over, and she came with Kun Town.
Kun Town has contact information, Lu Yi doesn't even have a contact number, it's really not easy to find him.
"Waiting for the box office to be shared, there are no plans for the time being, and Kunmachi seems to be preparing his own new movie. ”
Seeing Zhang Xiaoya coming over, Lu Yi's originally anxious heart calmed down a little.
If Zhang Xiaoya wants to swallow her own box office share, she probably won't come to find herself.
"It's fine to rest, but your share isn't coming that quickly. In the past few days, your movies have done well at the box office, and the release time may be extended. Anyway, if you have my contact information, you can go directly to me when the time comes. If you have a new movie, you can also ask me to release it, and I will prioritize resources for you. ”
Zhang Xiaoya came over to get closer to the relationship between the three, hoping that Lu Yi and their movies would be handed over to him for distribution in the future.
