Chapter 345: What Do I Think?, (4/5)
Purely from the perspective of market operation, the theater chain will definitely add more films to "You at the Same Table".
In recent years, under the operation of the market, the cinema chain has become more and more scientific in scheduling films.
Even when "Private Custom" was released, the cinema only gave more than 30% of the films, interspersed with some small films.
In this way, once the first day of a film is not strong, no more than three days at most, the film scheduling rate will be greatly reduced.
The market is so unforgiving.
Theaters need to survive too!
All the golden shows are given to "The Intruder", how can the theater survive?
Of course, in China, the cinema chain is the strong side!
The domestic cinema chain is not the same as North America, North America has signed contracts with large studios, stipulating the minimum number of screens to be screened, and there is a contract floating clause, for example, Emperor Cinemas, the largest cinema chain in North America, they signed this contract with the Big Six, so even a movie like "Heavenly Dynasty" has been released in theaters for more than 30 days...
Summit also signed the same contract with five major theater chains in North America last year.
In China, there are only release terms, if the box office performance is not good, the theater chain has the right to go down, there is no so-called minimum number of screenings...
You don't make money by stepping on a horse, and you still let Lao Tzu screen it?
Think too much!
However, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is a key project of China Film, and the four major cinema chains under China Film, other cinema institutions also have to obey the deployment...
Otherwise, he's really stuck with you...
So, the next day, the number of films scheduled for "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" was still 51%;
It wasn't until the 17th that the next weekend came.
The number of films scheduled for "You at the Same Table" has finally increased to 30%...
The online buzz is too loud!
Angry 'netizens' have run to Douban and IMDb to brush low scores...
Douban, 18% of netizens gave one star...
This stepping on the horse makes people speechless, to be honest, if you change the title of the film, "Freedom Road", you will definitely force a couple to give five stars!
Even "Bright Sword" has a group of people saying something about 'a castrated TV series'...
Douban - a proper little bourgeois gathering place!
By the way, they also brushed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" into one of the top ten bad movies on IMDb...
That's amazing!
……
On the 22nd, the total box office of "You at the Same Table" has reached 160 million, and the single-day box office has also surpassed "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party"...
Although Yuehua did not take the initiative to hack "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", she also followed the trend and found a few sought-after.
Make money, and it's really bright and really big money, it's all smearing, what's wrong with following the trend?
Zhang Junsheng also took Guo Fan, and the two of them appeared on "Xiao Shuo" once, and chatted with Dwarf for a show.
Of course, the topic must be around "You at the Same Table", publicity...
……
"Junsheng, before the release of "You at the Same Table", did you think about a box office hit?"
Zhang Junsheng replied: "I must have thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be so popular." ”
looked at Guo Fan: "I actually talked to Guo Fan and a few of them, youth films, comedies, romance films, including martial arts films, have been scarce resources in recent years, and it is the first time to dominate the movie, it is best to choose from these genres, Guo Fan chose "You at the Same Table"!"
"How did you and Guo Fan meet? As far as I know, Guo Fan didn't graduate from a professional theater..."
Zhang Junsheng smiled: "You let Guo Fan answer this." ”
"I, Lu Yang, Five Hundred, Wen Muye, Wang Wei, Wu Ershan, etc., we are all movie lovers, the year before last, Yuehua had a director assistant job fair, we went to participate, and then joined Yuehua together, "Tangshan Earthquake", more than a dozen of us participated, I thought it would take a few more years to have the opportunity to direct a movie, and then Yuehua launched a novice director plan, projects below 20 million, as long as you write a good plan and pass the review, you can direct a movie. ”
“… How many people have passed?"
"We showed it to Director Zhang, and he changed it, and then most of them passed. ”
Zhang Junsheng nodded: "That's right, they all have their own movies, which will be released in the second half of this year and next year." ”
“… Wouldn't it be too hasty to invest in a new director on such a large scale?"
"No, we have a special producer to help check the gates, and we will never let them mess around, and we can afford to lose it!"
After a pause, Zhang Junsheng added: "From a novice director to a mature director, at least two or three films have to be experienced, and we are willing to give them a chance, there are too few film directors who know how to do it!"
“… What do you think is the reason why "You at the Same Table" is a big hit?"
Zhang Junsheng: "Nostalgic feelings, I think this script is stable anyway, there are no highlights, but there are no shortcomings, maybe the market just needs this type of movie, youth films!"
Guo Fan shook his head: "There have always been a lot of youth films, "Sunny" is a youth film of the post-60s, "To Youth" is a youth film of the post-70s, we are a post-80s youth film, I am a post-80s generation, for a new director, there will not be much investment to meet my imagination, so it is a more realistic choice to shoot some things around me." ”
"Of course, Mr. Gao's music has a lot of points. ”
Many netizens said that the ending of "You at the Same Table" was too cruel, but in fact, the first draft written by Mr. Gao was even more cruel: the male number one was imprisoned, the male number two became a monk, and the female number one died. ”
The short man smiled tightly: "No, let's change the topic, many people say that "You at the Same Table" can be sold because of the foil of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", what do you two think?"
Zhang Junsheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked Guo Fan to speak first: "You speak first." ”
Guo Fan waved his hand: "... I haven't watched "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", it's not good to evaluate!"
"Junsheng, what do you think?"
Zhang Junsheng replied honestly: "... I think I'm quite lucky, in fact, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", I like it very much, and I personally think it can score at least 8 points, if I direct this movie, I guess it won't be better. Now like this, more people are following the trend, they have never watched "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", in their opinion, as long as it is related to "dang", it is not right. ”
"It's like Liu Jialing posted a photo of the five-star red flag on Weibo last year, and then was scolded by a bunch of people, saying that she was a patriotic... When did patriotism become an antonym?"
"The first rule of conduct for primary school students: love the motherland, love the people, and love the Communist Party of China. Study hard and make progress every day. A lot of people can't even compare to elementary school students!"
"Ahem..."The dwarf coughed tightly, he was also a typical character who did not make up for the "Elementary School Code"...
flaunts that it is not properly known, but it has done a lot of things that only public knowledge does, all kinds of popularization of the United States...
Zhang Junsheng hurriedly retracted the topic: "..."You at the Same Table" has done a good time, just like "Kill Bill" in the North American market..."
The dwarf interjected: "Let me inform you that the "Kill Bill" produced by Summit was released two weeks ago, with a box office of $210 million in North America and $500 million at the global box office, which shocked the American film industry, and the production cost of that movie was less than $50 million..."
“… In fact, before the release, no one thought that "Kill Bill" would be able to explode with such a strong box office potential, when I wrote the book, I was thinking about how to cool and how to come, the heroine with an Oriental knife, slashing the world... It can only be said that it caught up with the rise of the new feminist movement in North America, which is politically correct. ”
Short and tight: "And "Bridesmaids", which is also produced by the peak..."
"Yes, it's the same with "Bridesmaids", we just transferred what happened to men to female characters, and then, the box office exploded!"
"Bridesmaids", R-rated comedy movies, friendship, love, a few girls burst into foul language, meat jokes, "Summer of Jeans" heavy version...
In North America, it has grossed $150 million in a month and has grossed more than $400 million worldwide...
The production cost was less than $30 million.
"Bridesmaids", "Kill Bill", "Twilight 4 (Dawn (Part II)", plus "Superbody" and a number of horror films, Peak dominated the North American market this year...
