Zhou Yanghua was furious.

In the huge chairman's office, the senior executives of the Oriental Media Group lowered their heads and stared at their toes at this time, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"What is she? How dare she talk to me!"

Zhou Yanghua roared loudly.

But that's all there is to it.

Venting is venting, anger is in the heart, no one can calm down, they can't help but want to vent, and the best way, of course, is to vent the anger in their hearts by belittling others.

However, Zhou Yanghua is not an ordinary person.

Angry to the heart, a word rushed out of his mouth, but then it was gone.

Years of experience in the rivers and lakes, and the special vision of thinking about problems that ordinary people can hardly have formed by staying in the top position for a long time, make it impossible for him to get pleasure by cursing each other like ordinary people.

Because years of experience have taught him that it is the lowest pleasure.

And he, no, is needed.

Over the years, he has always had a way to overwhelm and defeat the other party to gain a greater sense of accomplishment and pleasure.

So, after saying a word, he walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window of the office with a gloomy face.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the tall buildings in the distance.

At this time, Xiong Chengchao looked at Zong Chengze, who bowed his head and didn't speak, and then looked at the others, and couldn't help but speak: "Chairman, although ...... So what, but why don't we take "Red Sorghum" out completely?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, subconsciously looked at Xiong Chengchao, and then quickly turned their heads to look at Zhou Yanghua, who was standing in front of the window with his back to this side.

This suggestion is purely red. Bare. Naked revenge!

Zhou Yanghua was on the phone, naturally no one dared to speak at this time, so, in such a quiet office, in fact, Qi Jie's words just now, many people in the office heard it, at most, some places didn't listen to it too real - but, "We don't lack attendance", everyone must have heard it!

Well, since you don't lack attendance, then our Oriental Cinema will directly announce the ban on you! Since you are so good, then don't want to get a penny of follow-up box office in our Oriental Cinema!

At this time, Zong Chengze raised his head and looked at Zhou Yanghua in front of the windowsill.

As he expected, after a while, Zhou Yanghua turned around and glanced at Xiong Chengchao with a strange look in his eyes—just this glance, Zong Chengze couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Without waiting for Zhou Yanghua to speak, Zong Chengze hurriedly said, "Nonsense!"

As he spoke, he stood up, met the eyes of a group of company executives, and said seriously: "You are the one who analyzed the pros and cons for us just now, and analyzed how much operating income a copy can bring, and the person who asked us to directly ban "Red Sorghum" is you! What are you thinking about you?"

Xiong Chengchao frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhou Yanghua, who was speechless, and couldn't help but want to open his mouth to argue, but before he could open his mouth, Zong Chengze had already opened his mouth again and asked a deputy general manager of the Oriental Cinema Line behind Xiong Chengchao, "Lao Hu, how many copies are there in our cinema line, plus the spare copy in the agreement?"

When the deputy general manager Hu heard this, he responded: "There are a total of 186 copies! All of them are used today, and if none of these copies are bad or problematic in the middle of the screening, they can account for 19.4% of the film scheduling ratio of our entire theater system today! It is about the same as the film scheduling rate of other theaters a few days ago!"

Hearing this, Zong Chengze nodded, turned around again smoothly, aimed at Xiong Chengchao, and reprimanded loudly: "186 copies, no need to send them, are all in various stores, what does this mean? It means that there will probably be more than 8 million today and tomorrow, or even close to 10 million operating income!

Xiong Chengchao opened his mouth and stammered.

This...... Absolutely!

This is the account he had calculated with Zong Chengze just now, and he himself questioned Zong Chengze - seven or eight million operating income is definitely not a trivial matter! So, what about 10 million?

Seeing that Xiong Chengchao was speechless, Zong Chengze spread his hands, spread his hands very imposingly, with a reproachful posture, and regretted the other party's incompetence, and said: "If you put 10 million and don't make money? Okay, yes, then you can't make 10 million! It's nothing! This weekend, the box office of "Red Sorghum" is going to explode, and it's about a certainty, but it's still a literary film after all, and it's really hard to say what the follow-up box office will be!

As he spoke, he looked around the audience and said loudly: "The screening agreement has been signed, and if the agreement is violated, liquidated damages will be compensated! And we have to pay liquidated damages, not to mention, the business income we don't want will fall into the pockets of other theaters, not to mention! Next this year, Minghu Culture will have a second part of "Huang Feihong"! With the momentum of the first part, will we continue to block "Huang Feihong" when "Huang Feihong" is released?"

"Last year's first hit of "Once Upon a Time", your decision was very correct, the chairman, and I both firmly supported your decision, so although the box office of "The Door of Life and Death" was higher, we gave "Once Upon a Time" more scheduled films, but it was still a lot of money! If I'm not mistaken, that film sold more than 150 million at the box office just in our theaters, right?"

"150 million, don't you want it?"

Xiong Chengchao was speechless.

It may have been too late to speak just now, his brain didn't turn so fast, and he couldn't keep up with Zong Chengze's words, but this time, he was completely knocked down by Zong Chengze with a punch!

I couldn't help but regret it deeply: what bad idea I just came up with!

At this time, Zong Chengze took advantage of the momentum, and when he saw Xiong Chengchao lowering his head, with a look of remorse, he added in time, "What are you thinking about now! If you continue like this, I don't care what the chairman thinks, I will question your professional ability first! I regret that I didn't listen to your advice yesterday all morning! As a result, look at you!"

Xiong Chengchao raised his head, looked at Zhou Yanghua first, and saw that Zhou Yanghua was just looking at him with an expressionless face, so he couldn't help but quickly lower his head again, even if he was reluctant, he had to admit that he actually lost another game in front of Zong Chengze.

"It's me who thinks it's bad!"

Zong Chengze finally had a little satisfaction on his face, but at this time, Zhou Yanghua didn't give him a chance to continue talking, but directly waved his hand and said, "Don't say it!"

Walking over slowly, after his anger dissipated for almost a while, he finally made a decision, "Minghu Culture, you still have to keep an eye on it, if you have a copy, take it as soon as possible!" At the same time, the theater chain will notify the stores below one by one, so that they can pay close attention to the box office trend and ticket sales of "Red Sorghum", and report it in time if they find any special circumstances in this movie, such as the downward trend!"

Regarding topics such as directly painting and banning "Red Sorghum", he didn't mention it.

A group of executives nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yanghua waved his hand, "Disperse, let's get busy!"

Including Zong Chengze and Xiong Chengchao, everyone did not hesitate to come out when they heard the words.

Eventually, the office fell silent.

Zhou Yanghua got up again and walked to the window, stared outside for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Lao Zong still understands me!"

He was indeed angry, especially Qi Jie's disrespectful and bad attitude towards him, which made it almost unbearable for him, who has been producing films and cinemas in recent years, and has become more and more lofty, but he is still a businessman in his bones after all.

Since he is a businessman, the battle of will is all the skin.

As long as there are enough benefits, people who have just hit their heads and bled can also immediately make a fortune by drinking and singing hand in hand!

Of course, in the same way, as long as the interests are not enough, he will look at whoever is not pleasing to the eye, and he will pinch you when he says that he will pinch you! Don't be unconvinced, if you don't accept it, I will let you die without a place to be buried!

So, what makes him angry the most?

What makes him most angry is Qi Jie's "first come, first come, first come" who is angry and doesn't give himself or Oriental Media Group face at all, which will make Oriental Cinemas miss the movie "Red Sorghum" all of a sudden, and it is likely that it will be the only weekend of the outbreak period, and lose millions of turnover, but what makes him even more angry is that Qi Jie is so angry, he doesn't take himself in his eyes and doesn't give face! But there are so many interests there, and he can't do anything with the other party!

To put it bluntly, from his point of view, he is not willing to paint "Red Sorghum" directly!

Recently, there is the box office of "Red Sorghum", which is exploding, and the liquidated damages that will inevitably appear in the event of a default, far from the second part of "Huang Feihong", which is clearly a box office bomb!

Once the confrontation is stiffened, the films of Minghu Culture will no longer be screened in the Oriental Cinema Line, and they can be taken to other Cinemas to schedule more films, anyway, there is no worry that the audience will not like to watch it!

Thinking about it this way, of course it's annoying, it's a nest fire!

Because he suddenly understood that Minghu Culture, which now holds a blockbuster "Red Sorghum" and a "Once Upon a Time" series that is bound to be a blockbuster, is no longer something he can easily play!

Even, if there are two blockbuster movies a year, even if Minghu Culture is just a film production company, its status in the industry will faintly surpass Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television and Yuan Ke's Jinghua Movie!

Compared to the production department of Oriental Media Group...... I'm afraid it's not weak!

Such a Minghu culture, even if it is himself, he can only endure it when he is angry!

But...... Wait, wait, wait!

No matter how awesome "Red Sorghum" is, it is also a literary movie, I don't believe that it can continue to explode!

"It's the sky, that is, it's just the first week!"

Zhou Yanghua couldn't help but think like this in his heart, and reluctantly comforted himself.

However, soon, he had to reluctantly think that looking at today's posture, it was like moviegoers all over the country were running to the cinema to watch "Red Sorghum", even if it was only the first week, it would be terrifying to death for a literary film like "Red Sorghum" with an investment of more than 10 million!

However, what is depressing is that I didn't get a big piece of cake!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest again, turned around, and punched the desk hard!

…………

Saturday, March 17.

It was just a normal weekend.

Whether in China or other major film markets around the world, the period after Christmas and New Year's Day and before the summer season is a well-known off-season at the box office.

However, in fact, the box office, the so-called off-season, does not mean that everyone has no need to watch movies, and even in the well-known peak season, such as the summer file, as long as the film is not good, everyone will not be stupid to buy tickets to watch - in the final analysis, the key is to see if there is a good movie, and whether watching this movie can make everyone willingly go to the cinema to pay for tickets.

And with the official release of "Red Sorghum", which won four historic awards at the Berlin Film Festival in one fell swoop, on March 13, the cinema, which has been deserted during this period of time in previous years, suddenly appeared the phenomenon of "off-season", when the time came to March 17, the first rest day after the release of "Red Sorghum", its box office exploded all of a sudden!

Since the sudden hot screening from Friday afternoon to evening, large and medium-sized theaters across the country that smelled the smell have urgently contacted Minghu Culture, and quickly sent people to sign the screening agreement, got more copies, and then sent them to their cinema stores across the country overnight.

Even the companies that got the copies relatively late, and the movie theater stores in cities far away from Suncheonfu, had already received copies that were barely enough to run at noon on Saturday.

As a result, in the morning, the scheduling rate of "Red Sorghum" in countable movie theaters across the country had already jumped to a high of 34%, and in the afternoon, it jumped directly to 54%!

That's it, because only 3,300 copies were prepared in the early days of Minghu Culture!

On the same day, most of the theaters arranged for the filming of "Red Sorghum", even if it was not full, the attendance rate was generally more than ninety percent, only in some individual, relatively remote or bad reputation movie theaters, the attendance rate would be relatively low, but even then, according to reliable statistics, it was not less than 60%!

After the midnight screening, a total of 17,438 screenings of "Red Sorghum" were screened nationwide throughout the day, and the daily film schedule rate reached the highest level of the film so far, 46.4%!

Under the strong demand of the national audience, such a high film scheduling rate has made the total number of moviegoers in the country today as high as more than 1.67 million, and the average attendance rate is as high as 93.4%!

Its single-day total box office is also as high as 35.28 million!

The box office share is as high as 88.7%!

The next day, Sunday, March 18, all the major newspapers across the country reported on their most important front-page news about the amazing one-day box office set by "Red Sorghum"!

As soon as this box office came out, after various media reports and moderate exaggeration, it became a national sensation for a while!

The name "Red Sorghum" is so hot that it is so hot! It is so red that it is purple!

A literary movie, with no big scenes, no gorgeous sets, no action scenes, and no gorgeous special effects, is in the traditional box office off-season like March, but it won a single-day box office of more than 35 million!

The highest single-day box office in the history of the domestic film market in March!

Moreover, even if you look at the history of the domestic film box office, there are only a few domestic movies that rank ahead of the single-day box office data of "Red Sorghum".

In the summer of 2001, Liu Chengzhang's Xianxia masterpiece "Sword Immortal" was released on the first Saturday of the first week.

At the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002, Zhao Meicheng's "My Name is Jixiang" got a historic box office of more than 100 million in the first week before the price of movie tickets increased, and the first week of the movie was Saturday.

April 2002, the first Sunday of Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time".

May 2002, the first Saturday of Qin Wei's "The Gate of Life and Death".

Now, "Red Sorghum" is the fifth highest in history!

The first four films, almost without exception, are all commercial films!

Even looking backwards, behind the single-day box office record of "Red Sorghum", at a glance, there are at least twenty or thirty commercial films.

"Red Sorghum", as a literary film, is definitely a scorpion-

Uniquely!

However, that's not all.

Thanks to the box office explosion on Saturday, media reports across the country, and heated discussions and discussions among the audience, especially with the help of the developed Internet, it is easier for people to express their opinions and exchange opinions with friends than before, which makes the reputation of "Red Sorghum" after a few days of brewing and Saturday's outbreak, at an astonishing speed, quickly exploded.

So, on Sunday, March 18, he ushered in "Red Sorghum", the last day of his first week, and rarely got 23,100 films nationwide, with a scheduling rate of 58%!

According to common sense, the increase in the scheduling rate will inevitably lead to a decrease in the attendance rate, because theoretically speaking, there are so many audiences for a movie in a short period of time!

But this rule does not seem to be so applicable to "Red Sorghum"!

Compared with yesterday's astonishing 93.4% attendance, on Sunday, after the film scheduling rate increased again, the attendance rate did not fall but rose!

Although it has only increased from 93.4% to 94.1%, the increase is extremely limited, but it has risen, it has risen!

Especially on the basis of the already abnormally high 93.4%, on the basis of yesterday's box office, the attendance rate can still struggle to increase by 0.7%, which is even more insignificant The 0.7% increase is extremely commendable!

So in the end, in a whole day, 23,100 screenings, ushered in more than 2.24 million moviegoers, and when the midnight show ended, its single-day national box office was counted, and even the staff in charge of statistics were shocked when they saw that number!

On Sunday, March 18, the single-day box office of "Red Sorghum" was 46.22 million!

The box office in the first week was 134.65 million!

The next day, as soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked!
