Section 374: Single-day box office
The speed of light is generally considered to be the fastest in the world, but scientists at the Wangbagouzi Science Research Institute in Niujiatun, Huaguo, have found that there is another substance that is faster than the speed of light.
That's the grapevine.
……
On the day of October 1st, the 11th golden holiday was officially opened, and the major tourist attractions ushered in the peak of tourism, and the figures of the two brothers spread all over the country and even developed abroad, and the number of tourists in the 11th holiday of the major tourist resorts is expected to reach a new high.
There are many people who travel during the National Day holiday, but there are more people who do not travel, because relatively speaking, the consumption of domestic travel is still high for the current per capita wage level, let alone foreign travel. Under the measure, many people who are not so financially well-off have chosen some cheaper ways to relax their consumption, such as finding a playground near the city to play, stepping on the autumn, going to the spa club to order the No. 36 technician, having a meal with friends, turning on the computer or going to the Internet café to play games......
Among these options, going to the cinema to watch a movie is one of the most popular.
Ole Blaze Cinema is overcrowded at the moment, the line at the ticket office seems to be forever so long, and the two rest areas are also full, and many people are standing or squatting around. Whenever there is a new ticket check-in, many people leave their seats, but these vacant seats are immediately filled, and there are people leaving, people entering, and these seats always seem to be insufficient.
While waiting to watch the movie, many people also use chatting to pass the time, including small talk, chatting about the next movie, and from time to time you can hear a sentence or two related to "Charlotte's Troubles".
A little fat man is expressing his opinion on "Charlotte's Troubles": "I really don't believe that this movie is really comedy, and it is hilarious? I really can't imagine it." ”
A shrewd-looking girl sat in a seat in the lounge area of the hall and complained to the four-eyed boy standing next to her: "It's good to let you buy it early, it's going to take nearly an hour!"
The four-eyed boy who gave up the only seat to his girlfriend stood aside with his bag, looking depressed: "Didn't you expect this movie to be watched by so many people? ”
A young man about thirty years old at the same table interjected with a smile: ""Dragon City Fengyun" is not easy to buy, I am also late, and I have to wait for more than half an hour." No way, eleven people are too many. ”
The young people at the other table were discussing the topic of Shen Huan.
"Have you heard? It is said on the Internet that Shen Huan was reborn from the future, and he made this movie by himself!"
"I saw it, it was said in a good way, just like the real thing. ”
"Then you just don't believe it? Then you still buy tickets for this movie?"
"Two different things, it's all about watching anyway, it's better to just look at this, the online evaluation is also quite high, and I can't stop laughing. ”
"I can attest to that, I came to see the early morning premiere last night, and it was really funny, laughing from beginning to end. ”
"You've seen it all, and you're still watching?"
"I watched "Dragon City" today, and the evaluation of this movie is quite high. ”
"What is reborn from the future? ”
"It's this "Charlotte's Troubles", which is now spreading on the Internet, saying that this movie Shen Huan made is his own experience......"
……
Facts have proved that the research results of Niujiatun Wangbagouzi Science Research Institute are a bit unreliable, and the transmission speed of gossip is still a little worse than the speed of light.
By the afternoon of October 1, the gossip about "Shen Huan's rebirth" had not yet been completely popularized, and it was not until the evening that the news really exploded and became known to netizens.
People are always curious and sharing about this kind of thing with a strong mystery, not to mention that it also involves celebrities, which is also the reason why this gossip can spread like a virus. This is equivalent to another free big advertisement for "Charlotte's Troubles", adding something to the movie itself, pushing wave after wave of audiences who were still hesitating in the middle of several movies, or even had little interest in the movie, into the theater where "Charlotte's Troubles" was released, and all the results of this were presented in the form of data the next day.
……
At ten o'clock in the morning on October 2, a brief meeting was held in the DreamWorks No. 1 conference room. The participants included Chen Jiakang, Liang Yue, secretary to the president, Guo Guosheng, manager of the distribution department, etc., of course, Shen Huan was naturally indispensable, after all, this small meeting has the most direct relationship with him.
Shen Huan was now sitting at the top of the oval conference table, listening to Guo Guosheng's report, but in fact, those things had already been presented on the documents in front of him.
"...... single-day box office of "Charlotte Troubles" on October 1, 82.7 million, ranking second in the box office ranking on that day, the first place is "Thorn Qin", with a single-day box office of 113 million, and the third place below us is "Dragon City Fengyun", 76.8 million, biting ......very tightly"
When Guo Guosheng was making a report, his voice was very stable, but his expression was a little trance.
The single-day box office is more than 80 million, which is a very good figure for a movie like "Charlotte's Troubles", which cost 20 million to produce and 20 million to promote in the later stage. But when he first got the relevant data, his first reaction was not joy, but doubt.
I wonder if I'm wrong, because the number is really beyond his estimate.
82.7 million, according to the normal law, after deducting various taxes and fees and theater commissions, about 30 million can fall into their hands, and more than half of the total cost has been recovered. If there is such a result tomorrow and don't fall too much, then in two days, the cost of this project will be completely recovered, and then it will be all pure profit.
Judging from the feedback from their company's censors, it is very unlikely that "Charlotte's Troubles" will fall sharply at the box office today.
Falling to the data level, DreamWorks' box office actuary gave the first step prediction results based on all the information currently available, predicting that the final box office will be more than 800 million......
Of course, the movie has only been released for one day, and the amount of data is still too small, this number has a lot of fluctuation, but it also has a certain reference significance. If it is calculated at 800 million, the final profit can reach about 290 million.
290 million ......
For Guo Guosheng, who is accustomed to making small-budget movies and joint stock investment, it is too unexpected for him to generate such a return on a project.
He is like a student with bad grades, he was expecting to get a passing score of 60, but he didn't expect that after the score came down, it turned out to be 96 points, so it's no wonder he was in a trance. And it's the man at the top of this table who is responsible for all this, their boss.
Thinking of this, Guo Guosheng subconsciously raised his head and glanced in the direction of Shen Huan, but Shen Huan's appearance at the moment was beyond his expectations.
Some of the people at this table may be in a trance from time to time, but the unanimous thing is that everyone's face is filled with a smile that seems to be absent, and the joy seems to be uncovered, and everyone is in good spirits, because "Charlotte's Troubles" has made such a good start, and everyone is good: those of them who participated in this project will not only receive a generous bonus, but also write a brilliant achievement in their career, as well as the sense of accomplishment brought by the success of the project, so how can they not be happy?
But Shen Huan is different.
He was leaning back in his chair, tilting his head slightly, his face did not have much expression, he was very calm, and he was still holding a pen in his hand and turning it slowly, as if he was thinking.
In the face of such numbers, happiness is over, what is their big boss still thinking? Is he still not satisfied with such good results?
