The first thing he did when he returned to the capital, Gan Jing confirmed that the dog was still alive, not that he doubted the survivability of this thing, but that he was afraid that it would die suddenly in front of the computer screen.

The dog's obsession with the game is a bit like his own obsession with the characters in the play.

Gan Jing sometimes sees its concentrated appearance, and he will feel that there is a providence in the dark - not a dog, not a door!

On the night he arrived at home, he had a good rest, and the next day he studied the publicity plan sent by Li An.

"Life of Pi" only intends to do a promotion in five major city theaters across the country, and more focus is on using online platforms to complete, QQ, Weibo, WeChat, portal homepage...... This network traffic is becoming more and more important.

Ang Lee is confident in his work, he believes that the reputation of the work will ferment on the Internet and get more feedback, the department in charge of distribution has accepted this statement, and at the same time, he also trusts the director and leading actors are all Chinese in China.

On October 29th, the first day of the publicity campaign in Beijing, the online advance ticket sales had already broken the previous record - Gan Jing was quite receptive to this news, and really felt that the audience's focus was shifting more and more.

He deliberately went online to find out and found that many people booked tickets from Guevara or Maoyan.

Before the promotional activities in the theater that day, he happily met the fans' group photo and signature requirements, and by the way, he learned about the real situation, and found that the proportion of online ticket purchases was seven or eight out of ten.

That's a staggering percentage – and while there are reasons why it's easier to buy online for pre-sales, the trend is still clear.

"Director Li, what is the box office in your mind for this film?"

In the media interview session, the reporter asked the questions that are asked by all film promotion activities.

Li An sat opposite Forrest Gump, took the microphone, and replied with a smile: "Why do you have to have hundreds of millions in China?" He looked at Forrest Gump, who was a little distracted, "With Forrest Gump here, my confidence is still quite strong." At the very least, he lost a body of flesh and dedicated himself to art. ”

Gan Jing was shocked by the laughter in hindsight, silently put away his thoughts about online ticket purchases, and decided to think about it after going back, he raised the microphone in his hand: "I also have confidence in Director Li." ”

Without waiting for the reporter to ask himself, he said directly: "The global box office is not easy to predict, and I think the domestic box office must have four or five billion." ”

Another reporter took the opportunity to ask: "Forrest Gump, what is the basis for your box office prediction?"

Gan Jing's eyes widened: "I'm the basis." ”

This stare startled the reporter who asked the question, but Gan Jing explained with a smile in the next second: "Just kidding." As for this film, the schedule is relatively good, there are relatively few domestic films, and Li Gui is reliable, these are all based on it. Now that the domestic market is getting better and better, I think we have to have a goal. You might as well put it this way, another 100 million, and I think it's okay. ”

——The domestic enemy army has become a friendly army, Director Li is reliable and charming, my Forrest Gump has dedicated himself to art, and the box office of 500 million is not naïve.

Four or five hundred million plus one hundred million, that's five or six billion.

It's the end of October, and at the beginning of the month, it was just announced that Huaxia has surpassed the neon country and officially become the world's second largest box office market, but that being said, the domestic box office of five or six billion has been able to rank among the top few in the whole year.

Gan Jing said it lightly, but the audience felt ...... Some are not satisfied - not that they feel more, but that they feel less.

"Forrest Gump, this box office is not enough cost, is it? Can you be satisfied with such results?" a reporter from Entertainment Weekly asked.

Gan Jing's eyes really widened this time, he didn't act on purpose just now, he looked at Director Ang Lee in surprise, and then looked at a group of reporters under the stage, and asked uncertainly: "Am I outdated? Is this number less?"

"Well, there's also overseas revenue for this film. Well, I'm not too greedy, and I think you know what I want more than the box office. Gan Jing blinked and smiled charmingly and meaningfully.

At this moment, many people in the audience chanted a word in their hearts, Oscar, Oscar.

They looked at Forrest Gump smiling freely on the stage, and couldn't help but wonder a little, can he really win the Oscar? How far is Forrest Gump from the Oscar? Or, how close?

The farthest distance in the world is the first time I was nominated, but I passed by you.

The farthest distance in the world is the second time I was nominated, but I passed by you.

The farthest distance in the world is my third nomination......

At the end of the day, most of the media pictures were pictures of Forrest Gump smiling, and the words were also to cheer him up, after all, the media who could be invited to the event were all in good relationship or in advance, and it was still possible to say some good things in front of the award-winning works.

Gan Jing chatted with Director Ang Lee after the event, and met the requirements of the fans waiting outside.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, he returned to his residence, and Lao Chen was already waiting here.

It is relatively easy for brokers to make money, with a fixed salary and a commission, especially after they have big names, but they do have a lot of things to be responsible for, and irregular diets and rests are the norm.

"The publicity response is not bad, there is spot check data on Weibo, and there is feedback on the official website, everyone is still looking forward to your work. Lao Chen reported the situation, "However, the superhero series is still more charming, you don't have Batman's activities here, and many people are waiting on the screen." ”

Gan Jing was sore all over, and his legs were already weak, so he threw off the shoes on his feet when he entered the door, walked directly to the sofa with his socks on, and waved his hand: "I don't know why, I really don't care too much about the box office of Youth Pie, it's good to have a big difference." Today, there is an incident that I found that there are a lot of people who buy tickets online. ”

"Well, the web is growing fast. Lao Chen nodded.

"Then can we make a software like this ourselves?" Gan Jing said his thoughts, he felt that everything that could be beneficial to watching movies was a good thing.

Lao Chen hesitated: "Actually, I have paid attention, but now the online ticketing platform is basically losing money, what 9.9 ticket sales and the like, sticking money." ”

A movie ticket of 9.9 yuan?

Gan Jing was stunned, that is indeed losing money, the money that the theater chain itself wants to take should exceed this number, right?

Lao Chen continued: "At present, the main ones on the market are Guevara and Maoyan, Maoyan is made by Meituan, and Meituan is the kind of website that does O2O group buying, and burns money and habits. ”

Gan Jing's mind was a little impatient, he thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Lei Jun.

It is said that since he became a shareholder of Xiaomi, when he looked for Lei Jun, he always asked about something completely unrelated to Xiaomi, and I don't know if this boss will be depressed.

"Mr. Lei, online ticket purchase ......" Gan Jing balabala a bunch on the phone, briefly describing what he saw and felt.

After a few minutes, he hung up the phone, looked at Lao Chen, who had been paying attention to him, and summarized the opinions he had heard from Lei Jun.

- Forrest Gump, Dry.
