Chapter 175: Nima!
On Wednesday, March 14, "Red Sorghum" won a total of 6,892 screenings nationwide with 1,402 canvases, 20.2% of the film scheduling ratio, and won the total number of moviegoers in 574206, with an average of 88 people per game and an average attendance rate of 71.1%!
The national box office on the same day was 12.17 million, accounting for 62.2% of the total box office that can be counted in the country on that day!
On the second day of release, the film schedule increased by 1.2%, but the number of moviegoers dropped, the attendance rate also dropped, and the box office also dropped slightly by 780,000 from yesterday's 12.95 million.
Of course, because of the off-season of the film box office market, the proportion of a single film in the total box office of "Red Sorghum" has risen!
The statistics are out, and the major theaters are down-to-earth.
It turns out that they adjusted in the right direction!
Then, on Thursday, March 15, the schedule of "Red Sorghum" in major theaters across the country was slightly reduced to 19.7%, and then, the film was screened in 6784 screenings, and finally gained a total of 538436 viewers, with a total box office income of 11.39 million!
The box office trend of this movie is extremely stable, and even the daily box office decline is very different - basically 35,000-40,000 moviegoers per day, and about 800,000 box office per day!
In the first three days, a total of more than 1.72 million moviegoers and 36.51 million box office were received!
For a literary film with an investment of 12 million and the publicity cost is not too high, this is already a very high box office. Even in the long run, the box office of this movie has doubled on the current basis, and there is no problem at all, and it is reasonable to break 100 million, which is basically in line with the box office estimates of the film viewing specialists in major theaters in advance, but ......
His first weekend has not yet arrived!
Even the major theaters have given quite high praise to the long-term performance of this film after reducing the number of screenings, and its internal evaluation is still high among literary films, but at least before the arrival of the first weekend, basically no theater will take the initiative to significantly reduce the schedule for it.
Friday afternoons, evenings, and Saturdays and Sundays, the box office of these two and a half days often accounts for 60%-70% of the total box office of the whole week, or even more!
Therefore, the practice in the industry is that unless a film is so bad that no one watches it at all, since the theater company has chosen to screen it, it will at least give it a weekend to try its success.
…………
On Friday, March 16th, early in the morning, Lu Ping, who had just returned to Shuntianfu after leading the team to record the show in other places yesterday, got the box office data of "Red Sorghum", which he was most concerned about.
Then, after reading the data, he laughed.
In front of his agent Gao Lanlan, Zhou Zhengyang, the general manager of Tianyi Film and Television, or his concubine Xia Xiaoyue, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "The first three days must be the three days with the highest popularity of this movie, and the three days with the highest box office! The first three days together have not exceeded 40 million, even if you add today, and then on Saturday and weekend, add it together and give it another 30 or 40 million box office, and it will be a top day!"
Speaking of this, he raised the data in his hand and said proudly: "Next week, it's up to us!"
…………
When everyone went out, even Xia Xiaoyue went out to chat with Gao Lanlan about going shopping together after the movie was released, Lu Ping took a few minutes to calm down his mood, and then dialed Qin Jingjing's phone - Coincidentally, Qin Jingjing was actually in Shuntian Mansion.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Jingjing over there still agreed to find a place to watch a movie together in the afternoon.
Well, Lu Ping deliberately pointed it out, saying that he wanted to see Qin Jingjing's "Red Sorghum".
Everyone made an appointment to see you at the studio at half past three in the afternoon, and after buying the ticket, you could have a cup of coffee, watch the show at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and then ...... Lu Ping calculated that after watching the movie, they could have dinner together.
So, he even cleaned himself up with a little fun.
In fact...... After that momentum, think about it carefully, although Qin Jingjing's girl is not at the level of the lover of her dreams, and she is not as good as the kind of show and wisdom style of Lu Lingxi that she likes, but as a girl, just talking about beauty, she and Lu Lingxi are at most good at winning!
And the good thing is that she is a bit stupid, short-sighted, and admits death when doing things. In other words, once this kind of woman likes someone and follows someone, even if she has some resentment later, she is basically competing with herself, and she will not think about taking the initiative to leave at all - as long as she soaks in and pulls in the door, she will not be able to run away in this life!
I used to be purely stupid, and my eyes only knew that I was staring at Lu Lingxi! Until now, hehe, Senior Sister Lu has climbed the high branches, and I don't know if there is any hope in my life, so I don't miss or let go of such a big beauty in front of me!
Especially...... Now is a good time!
"Red Sorghum" is being screened!
Hehe, but, it is estimated that today is already its last glory!
The sky-defying box office of the first three days of the working day has basically consumed the popularity of the film itself, the heat brought to it by Li Qian, and the heat brought to it by the Berlin Film Festival award!
Even, Lu Ping thought to himself: Maybe today, its attendance rate should be ugly!
Maybe for other movies currently being released, its attendance rate is still relatively high, but for Li Qian, for a "phenomenal" film that won four trophies at the Berlin Film Festival, that attendance rate is estimated to be ugly!
Hehe...... Phenomenal!
Hum!
…………
After lunch, Lu Pingtui said that he had something to do in the afternoon, and he was going to retreat and send Xia Xiaoyue not to bother him, so Xia Xiaoyue, who was in a happy mood, left cautiously, and then took Gao Lanlan to go shopping with high interest.
As soon as they left with their front feet, Lu Ping got up and went downstairs with their back feet.
First, I found a flower shop, bought a big bouquet of flowers, and asked the family to put a big heart shape in the trunk, and then drove into the car and went straight to the appointed studio.
When I got to the place, it was just 3:20.
A few minutes later, Qin Jingjing also arrived early.
Her recent domestic and international appearance rate is a bit high, plus "Red Sorghum" is in the hot season, and there are posters everywhere, so she deliberately brought sunglasses - however, the movie city is obviously a little deserted, as soon as she appeared, Lu Ping saw her at first sight.
Looking at the deserted appearance in the movie theater in front of her, Qin Jingjing was obviously a little surprised.
She just went out to record a show yesterday and came back, listening to Liao Min report the box office for herself, she still felt quite good, after all, her own family, with less than 20% of the film schedule, can get about 60% of the total national box office on the same day, and in the first three days, it was still a working day, and it won more than 36 million box office!
That's a lot of data!
But when she came to the cinema, she found that the reality seemed to be a little different from what she thought.
To this day, she still clearly remembers that when "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Once Upon a Time" were released, no matter which cinema she ran to, she could see such a lively scene.
And now...... Not at all.
After seeing her come in, Lu Ping had already gotten up and walked over, seeing her look surprised, Lu Ping helplessly accompanied her to look around the entire movie theater, sighed, and said, "It's the off-season now, the movie theater is like this." When I first arrived, I was a little surprised, I thought that "Red Sorghum" was so hot recently that it could bring the heat of the movie theater......!
Qin Jingjing turned her head to look at him, and suddenly took off her sunglasses, "Are you satirizing "Red Sorghum"?"
Lu Ping was a little surprised.
This doesn't seem to be Qin Jingjing's style of speaking?
But...... Two years have passed, maybe she has become a movie queen now, so ...... Understandable!
He spread his hands and looked innocent, "Absolutely not like this! I want to say that I originally hoped that "Red Sorghum" could bring the atmosphere up, because my film will be released next week, and I can follow the heat or something, but now it seems that I am afraid that I can't rub this heat!"
Qin Jingjing glanced at him seriously and didn't speak.
But just this glance, it suddenly made Lu Ping feel a little panicked!
Wrong...... This doesn't feel right!
Although he hasn't seen him for two years, he thinks he still knows Qin Jingjing very well!
She is pretty, but she is very naïve, very naïve, to put it bluntly, in Lu Ping's opinion, she is a little stupid! But now she feels like she is ...... It's different anyway!
Could it be that a Berlin Film Festival actress has such a big impact?
Can a person's spirit, temperament, and even IQ be changed in such a short period of time?
Without waiting for him to think deeply, Qin Jingjing took two steps forward, saw that he hadn't followed, had stopped, looked back, there was no infatuation in his eyes, and there was no joy, but it was plain, as if it was the feeling of some old friends getting together - seeing that Lu Ping was a little dazed, she asked, "Aren't you going to invite me to watch a movie?"
"Oh...... Not yet! I'm going to buy it right away!"
Lu Ping agreed, took out his wallet, and walked quickly to the ticket office.
At the same time, I felt a little weird in my heart - really weird!
Until now, looking back, I can still clearly remember some details of the relationship between the two two years ago, at that time, Qin Jingjing was a little clingy, and it was obvious that she was deliberately trying to please herself! So, if it was two years ago, then I asked her to watch a movie, and when we met at this time, she should have looked like she was happy, and then ...... Take the initiative to run over and buy a ticket?
Well, I remember that I had a few meals and a few coffees with her a few years ago, and it seems that she never paid for it herself, and every time she took the initiative to settle the money quietly!
But...... Well, the credit of the actress?
But I have to say that now, when she stops there, that temperament, that kind of aura, she really suddenly has a charming feeling!
It's not pretty, it's not prettier, but it's just more charming!
It's weird!
…………
The conductor made a ticket, Lu Ping asked, and the conductor casually replied a number, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it.
came back with the ticket, and invited Qin Jingjing to the coffee shop next to him to sit for a while, drink a cup of coffee and wait for time, and then waited for the two of them to sit down in the store and order coffee, he shook the movie ticket in his hand, put it on the table, frowned, and said, "I asked by the way just now, and the ticket sales situation is really not very good." ”
Qin Jingjing was looking down at the message, and she didn't know who sent it to her, and it seemed that she was going to reply, but when she heard this, she raised her head for the first time and asked, "Red sorghum?"
Lu Ping nodded, "Red sorghum!"
Qin Jingjing nodded, and asked again, "The attendance rate is very low?"
Lu Ping said: "I didn't ask about the previous show, I just asked us how many tickets this is, and the conductor told me that these are the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth tickets." The current word...... There are still about twenty minutes before the opening, I wonder if there will be another twenty or thirty people?"
After a pause, he spread his hands, looked around through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows inside the building, and said: "This is already a relatively prosperous shopping center in Shuntianfu, according to my understanding, the cinema here, the attendance rate should be relatively guaranteed, but now it seems that it ......."
"Maybe it's because of work hours?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jingjing suddenly interrupted him.
Lu Ping was a little surprised again-in the past, Qin Jingjing was really infatuated with him, and it was almost unimaginable for her to suddenly interrupt when she was talking like this.
Seeing that Lu Ping was a little surprised, Qin Jingjing added, "After all...... I don't see many people shopping in the mall!"
Lu Ping was in a trance, came back to his senses, and thought: Okay, it seems that going to Minghu Culture for the past two years has had a lot of impact on her, and it is said that her agent is Liao Liao's sister, a particularly powerful girl, and it seems that she has also had a lot of influence on her!
But that's okay!
He thought to himself, "Then I'll influence it again!"
…………
After drinking a cup of coffee for about twenty minutes, Lu Ping probably saw thirty or forty people buying tickets at the ticket office of the cinema that could be clearly seen through the glass not far away.
As for whether it was bought "Red Sorghum" or other performances, it is unknown.
However, Lu Ping felt that it couldn't all be "Red Sorghum"! It is said that the film released yesterday was not bad, and the release of a new film would always attract a lot of audiences!
There are two groups of audiences in the middle who came out after watching the movie, and the number of people was not large, more than a dozen people, and only a total of six or seven people came out, and judging from their expressions, they were not very excited, they should have encountered a movie that they were not very satisfied with - many of them bought tickets on the spot after they came out!
Lu Ping prayed in his heart, don't buy "Red Sorghum"!
Occasionally, when he retracted his attention and turned his head to look at Qin Jingjing, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and a little excited in his heart—she was really different from the past!
In the past, when she had such an opportunity to contact herself alone, she would definitely chatter non-stop, trying to arouse her attention and good impression of her, but at that time, she was ...... except for occasionally thinking she was really beautiful I really don't feel anything for her anymore.
But now, she just sat there simply, and she didn't have any words, and occasionally when she looked at the text messages and replied to the text messages, she would suddenly smile, but it seemed so charming, so charming!
…………
The calculation time is almost up, Lu Ping reminded him, Qin Jingjing finally ended the thumb chat, put on sunglasses, and after Lu Ping paid the bill, the two got up and walked to the cinema.
When he checked in and entered, Lu Ping was surprised to find that there were really not a few people!
When I entered the screening hall and sat down, I was about to start playing, and when I looked back, I actually sat down!
It's not easy!
You know, it's less than four o'clock on Friday afternoon, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary office workers to come and buy tickets before this and then watch the four o'clock field!
So, in this case, how is it possible for the attendance rate of "Red Sorghum" to reach at least 60% as it is now, and if you count carefully, it may even reach 70%?
There is a strange feeling in my heart, and I can't figure it out!
But think again...... After all, it's only the fourth day, and it's starring Li Qian, and it's the Berlin Film Festival award, well, it's like this movie city in the most prosperous shopping mall in Suncheonfu, and it's normal to have this attendance!
…………
The movie started quickly.
To tell the truth, put everything aside, Lu Ping was born in a film school after all, and he is a film genius who can count how many years in the past and how many years in the future!
Therefore, even if you finally sit in the screening hall with all kinds of complicated feelings, you even hope from the bottom of your heart that this movie will be made more literary and in-depth - the farther away the ordinary audience is, the better!
However, when the movie started, he straightened his back the first time!
Whether it is from the perspective of the most professional film art and criticism, or from the perspective of an ordinary audience in pursuit of sound and light stimulation and the first need to watch the story, there is no doubt that this is a good film!
At this time, recalling the newspaper touting of "Red Sorghum" winning the award in Berlin, Lu Ping had to admit for the first time: Perhaps, that is not a boast!
Especially the lens control of this movie, and the kind of splashed ink color scheduling and rendering, it can be seen that Lu Ping, a film talent, is directly high!
For a few moments, the first thought in his mind was: I'm going to pull this cinematographer over and let him give me the handheld for the next movie!
Of course, in less than half a second, he came back to his senses - Fu Xuelong, the Silver Bear Award for Best Cinematography at China's first Berlin Film Festival, Li Qian's classmate, close friend, and hardcore!
Dig him, how is it possible!
So, when more than an hour passed, Li Qian's rough voice seemed to be still echoing in his mind, echoing the song "Sister, you boldly move forward", which has become a mess across the country in recent days, but in the childish "Mother, Mother, Go to the Southwest", I was so stimulated by the blood-red shot that I couldn't help but tremble...... The movie is over.
Lu Ping sat in his seat, a little dazed.
When Qin Jingjing took the initiative to call him, he gradually came back to his senses, got up and walked out along the flow of people, and was about to walk out of the screening hall, he finally recovered from the shock brought to him by this movie, and at the same time remembered his purpose today.
However, at this time, my ears were full of discussions-
“…… Yes,, what the film review said is not wrong at all, there are a lot of shots in the middle, all of them are too DIAO! This is the first time I have watched this kind of literary film, and I found it really good!"
"Yes, although there is no drastic action, but I think it is more enjoyable than him, Mom's blockbusters! Especially do you remember? In the middle, when the Japanese asked him to peel the skin, the guy shouted, 'Dog!', and shouted several times in a row, and I told you, I had goosebumps all over my body at that moment, and I felt that tears were about to fall!"
"Hey, hey, yes, we're almost! When I saw that piece, I was too, and I felt hot!, I decided to watch literary movies often in the future, and I felt super DIAO!"
Lu Ping was listening to the conversation between the two men behind him, thinking about something in a mess, but a middle-aged man in front of him suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "I think about too many brothers! I prefer to watch literary films, but I can tell you that there may not be one literary film that can be at the same level as this film every year! There is a good one abroad from time to time, but we don't introduce it in China, and we can't watch it in the cinema, so we can only climb the wall on the Internet and go abroad to watch it, as for those in China...... It's far from it!"
Lu Ping frowned when he heard this!
You know, he is a literary film director!
Although after reading it, he had to admit that the level of Li Qian's "Red Sorghum" was indeed beyond his imagination. I also have to admit that this film has definitely reached the peak of all domestic literary films in the past few decades, but he doesn't feel that his film is so bad!
However, at this time, a person behind him who was discussing passionately just now had already replied with a smile: "Of course! This is the work of our family master! The four trophies of the Berlin Film Festival!"
This is ...... It's so depressing!
Lu Ping lowered his head and frowned, trying to walk out quickly, but he really didn't want to listen to these harsh comments.
However, when he didn't even care about Qin Jingjing beside him, he subconsciously quickened his pace, trying to quickly leave this group of audiences who were in full swing to shoot Li Qian's ass, he had just walked out of the screening hall not far away, turned a corner, and saw the crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang in the waiting and ticketing area at a glance!
The first reaction, he was stunned.
Just this pause, the two buddies with the loudest voices behind him had already caught up, and Qin Jingjing also caught up-
"Damn, why are there so many people all of a sudden! It's not like they're all coming to see Red Sorghum, right? I was thinking about whether to watch it again!"
"It should ...... Probably watching something else, right?"
"Let's go, go over and ask!"
Lu Ping took a deep breath, and as soon as he turned his head, Qin Jingjing was standing next to him.
is looking at himself coldly.
Lu Ping subconsciously squeezed out a smile on his face, but his voice was a little tight, "Movie...... Not bad indeed!"
When he said the word, his chest became tighter, but his voice finally smoothed.
He took the opportunity and said: "You acted very well!"
"Thank you!"
Qin Jingjing finally showed a rare smile on her face, and it could be seen that she was very happy.
But Lu Ping's heart was already getting more and more worried.
When the two of them came out along the flow of people and stood at the ticket office for less than a minute, Lu Ping's heart had already sunk to the bottom all of a sudden-when he bought the ticket just now, there was only one ticket seller, and now there are three people selling tickets at the same time, but the conversation from there is basically the same!
"I'm sorry, the 6 o'clock and 7:50 shows of "Red Sorghum" have been sold out, and now there are more than a dozen tickets left for the 9:40 show, do you want to?"
…………
Lu Ping was stunned there, and instantly felt that his hands and feet were cold.
Qin Jingjing listened to the conversation at the ticket office over there, and the smile on her face was indescribably bright.
After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly picked up her sunglasses and put them on—and looked around, but fortunately, everyone was concerned about whether they could buy tickets, and no one noticed her.
Turning his head to look again, Lu Ping's face turned pale.
Her smile slowly closed.
Someone over there asked loudly: "Do you only have one hall? Why don't you open a few more halls? No one else watches any other movie! We want to watch "Red Sorghum" but we can't buy tickets! If we watch the 9:40 show, when will we finish watching it?"
"Yes, yes, tell your manager, open another hall to show "Red Sorghum", so many of us are queuing up, all to see "Red Sorghum", everyone said right?"
"Yes!"
"Look...... You can't sell tickets for other movies! If you open another hall to show "Red Sorghum", just now that we are the ones who are here, it will be enough for you to fill the house!"
Lu Ping's face became more and more ugly.
But at this time, a smile appeared on Qin Jingjing's face unconsciously.
Turning her head to look at Lu Ping, she said, "That...... Shall I go first?"
"Huh...... Uh......"
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said with difficulty: "Okay!"
Qin Jingjing looked at him, smiled, turned around and left.
After a pause, Lu Ping came back to his senses and stretched out his hand, "Or I'll send ......"
As soon as he looked up, he was already far away, five or six paces away.
And she seemed to hear it, turned her back to this side, raised her hand, and waved her hand in a dashing manner, "No need!"
Lu Ping raised his arm halfway up and slowly drooped down.
Suddenly I remembered the dinner I had planned in my heart, and the pickle girl plan, and the full of roses in the trunk - along with the words of comfort and comfort that I had prepared in my heart, all of which were nullified?
Turning his head to look over there, the conductor was on the phone, as if he was urgently asking for something.
Lu Ping suddenly showed a sneer, and thought to himself: "Please have a fart, I want to put one more hall, do you have enough copies?"
Soon after, however, he sighed.
Because as long as the theater chain wants to schedule more films, as long as there are emergency redundant copies on the distribution company's side, they will definitely give it - make money, who is too much?
What's more, this is Shuntianfu, and Minghu culture is here!
Maybe this contact needs to be copied, and it can be sent in thirty minutes!
…………
All kinds of thoughts in my heart come and go.
I don't know how long later, when Lu Ping suddenly realized, he found that he had arrived at the underground parking lot, and his car was not far in front.
Press the car key, unlock it, pull the car door, and sit inside.
What to do?
Is it because of Friday afternoon, so the desire to buy tickets is suddenly released, or will this enthusiasm for buying tickets and watching movies continue?
So, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, three days, can you release it almost can't?
Just look at the reaction of the box office just now, it is estimated that this weekend, its box office will explode, although I don't know how big it will be, and I don't know if the adjustment of major theaters can keep up with the sudden outbreak of this market in time, which will affect the scale of the entire outbreak, but ...... Judging from the opponents that "Red Sorghum" is currently facing in the box office market, it only needs to explode a little, which is enough to trample everyone to death!
At present, what is worrying is whether a weekend can make the box office consumption power of this movie almost explode?
If you can't......
Bang!
Lu Ping desperately punched the steering wheel.
Luckily, there was no electricity and no horn sound.
Suddenly, I remembered Qin Jingjing's smile just now-
Oh yes! Her smile ......
Yes, she's happy, that's for sure, after all, it was the movie she starred in as the heroine, and it was also the film that helped her get the Berlin Film Festival after the film, of course she hopes that the more box office that film has, the better!
However, when she came back to her senses at this time, she remembered in a trance that her face should not be very good when she saw the ticket sales at the ticket office, and at that time, the corner of her eye seemed to be visible, and the look in her eyes when she looked at herself seemed to be ...... Somewhat cold?
Well, yes, it's a little cold.
Cold, to be exact.
Yes, she is really different now compared to two years ago!
The indescribable kind of difference.
Looking back now, it seems that from the first time we met today, she was a little cold to herself?
…………
Sitting in the car in a daze, just thinking, thinking, thinking.
Suddenly, Lu Ping seemed to have figured out something all of a sudden, and hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"This cousin, she is ......"
"That's not right! How could she have expected that the box office would explode today? So she deliberately agreed to watch the movie together to see how ugly my face was? I'm afraid that even Li Qian himself didn't have that much confidence, right?"
"But no matter what, I'm definitely ashamed today!
Bang!
I couldn't help but smash another punch on the steering wheel!
At this time, thinking of the flowers in the trunk, he suddenly became violently irritated again.
Get out of the car, open the trunk, and pull it out desperately, completely ignoring the tingling sensation coming from your hands!
"it!"
"it!"
"Nima!"
"Hey, what are you doing!"
A middle-aged man in a red and yellow sanitation suit ran over quickly.
Lu Ping turned his head and yelled, "My own flowers, I want to throw them, do you want to take care of them?"
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled disdainfully and said, "Falling out of love, right?
When Lu Ping heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, the sanitation worker glanced at Lu Ping again, the disdain in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and he looked frivolous and mocking, "...... If you want to throw it, you can!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of bills and a pen from his pocket, and said directly: "Fine!"
***
I finished writing the previous chapter before ten o'clock, didn't stop, continued to write, and then, I wrote it in one breath until now, half past two!
I'm tired and paralyzed, but I'm also cool!
