Chapter 405, the theater party asks for the door!
Over the years, the box office of Chinese movies has been exploding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Until now, it has become as if a movie is not a good movie if it does not break a billion.
Of course, the proportion of bad movies that break one billion is also very high, and in terms of word-of-mouth, it is also common for standard popcorn movies to have disgusting plots and receive bad reviews.
Two years ago, the box office of the zero point field was a few million, but now the box office of the zero point field has exceeded 10 million, which is not unusual enough.
On the contrary, the box office of the morning and noon shows is getting worse, and even the afternoon shows are not as good as the evening and midnight shows.
This also shows a problem - there are more and more night owls in our country!
When the box office of "Baby Project" came out, the movie still had half an hour to end, but the netizens who followed it on the Internet were already boiling.
"I'll rub!"
"Really broke the record?"
"Terrifying!"
"Is this movie really that good?"
"The fan effect won't be so strong, right?"
"No, I need to book a ticket to see it!"
"Let's go to bed first, and wait to see tomorrow's first-day box office!"
"It is estimated that the box office will not be low on the first day!"
"Maybe it will break 100 million directly?"
"Breaking 100 million? How much is this zero point field? At least 200 million, right?"
"One day's box office is someone else's month's box office?
"If this movie lasts, I guess it will sell for a lot of money!"
“……”
Studio.
Look at the data on your computer screen.
Li Zhifan was still in a state of confusion, and looked at the data back and forth several times.
Film Title: "Project Baby"
Real-time box office: 64,004,900
Attendance: 87.8%
Cumulative box office: 64.005 million
Today's schedule: 43%
Number of days: 1 day
There are 21,000 zero-point games across the country, with an average of 88 people per game, an average ticket price of 35 yuan, and a box office of 64 million.
Although the film schedule is medium, the attendance rate is high, with an average attendance rate of 88 people per game, which has broken the highest record of commercial films in theaters.
broke a number of records in one hour, which is already a myth in the film industry.
If the box office on the first day breaks the record, the box office on the third day, the box office on the seventh day, and the final box office breaks the record again, then I am afraid it will be a legend.
The door to the office was pushed open from the outside.
Zhao Yiduo and a group of staff rushed in directly, with expressions of excitement, joy, and excitement on their faces.
"Zhifan!
"This is a great achievement!"
"64 million, it seems that it will be easy to break 100 million tomorrow!"
"Congratulations!"
In everyone's congratulations, Li Zhifan also got up with a smile and said: "This is inseparable from everyone's contributions, and thank you for your persistence all the way, including the support for me and the film itself, here, I announce: All employees of the studio, this month's bonus will be tripled!"
"Oh! thank you, boss!"
"Great!"
The employees cheered again.
One of the little girls asked, "Boss, me, I...... I want to go to the movies too!"
"Oops!"
Li Zhifan patted his head, "How can I forget this, how can we not support our movie?
"Okay!"
Several employees immediately split up, but the rest of them still surrounded Li Zhifan, looking at him with a smile one by one, and at the same time looking at each other.
Is that still a problem?
Li Zhifan thought for a while and patted his head again: "Oh, forget it, it's not too early, except for colleagues on night shift, let's go home and sleep!"
"How can we sleep on such an exciting night?"
Zhang Anda, the director in charge of the studio's films, said with a smile, "Boss, do you think we are holding a small celebration party internally?"
"Okay!"
Li Zhifan immediately agreed, "Then I'll leave it to you to make arrangements! After it's set, I will notify everyone of the time and place!"
"No, no, no!"
Zhang Anda said, "I don't mean to make a big deal, the official celebration of the movie has been set, and I mean, can we take the employees to celebrate together?"
Li Zhifan smiled: "So that's the case, then it's ...... Looking for a KTV to book a big box?"
"No!" Zhao Yiduo said, "We and Mr. Zhang are ready, champagne, snacks, and drinks, just waiting for you to speak!"
"Hey, why don't you say it sooner when you're ready!"
Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Then hurry up!"
At this time, several employees who had gone to book movie tickets before came back.
Seeing their silent appearance, Li Zhifan couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
"There's good news, and bad news, and you want to hear that first?"
The little girl who said she wanted to watch a movie before still asked.
This routine made Li Zhifan laugh: "Say whatever you want!"
"Uh......" the little girl hesitated, "then let's talk about the bad news first, we can't charter a venue in the capital this month!"
"Huh?" Li Zhifan didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"You'll know the good news after I finish it!" the little girl laughed, "The good news is that the pre-sale has been bought for the third week, because the fourth week's schedule has not yet been released, so we can't get the first three weeks at all!"
"So they're all sold out?"
Li Zhifan was surprised.
"How is that possible!" said the little girl, "I haven't sold out all of them, but now I can find out that there are basically people booking tickets, more than a dozen, as few as three or five people!"
"...... like this"
Li Zhifan thought for a while and said, "Then you can communicate with the hospital, hold a separate one for us, and take time!"
"Then let's ask!"
A few people turned around and left.
Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Hurry up, wait until you can get the champagne in our conference room!"
The internal celebration has not yet started, and the calls have come in one by one.
In addition to congratulations, the most critical thing was a phone call from Liao Feng.
"Zhifan!ha, let me be happy for a while, hahaha......"
"Uh......"
Li Zhifan was confused and speechless, he didn't expect him to be more excited than himself, and when Liao Feng had laughed enough, Li Zhifan asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it! I still have a lot of things here!"
"If I say this, you will definitely jump with joy!" Liao Feng said mysteriously.
Li Zhifan was a little unconvinced, but still asked: "Then you can talk about it and see if I can jump up!"
"That's right!"
Liao Feng said, "Do you know how many phone calls have come in to me since I started painting at 0:00......? I can't count them, basically the theater companies that cooperate with us have all said that they want to improve the film schedule!"
"That's a good thing!"
Although Li Zhifan was happy, he didn't jump up directly.
"Then do you know what is the highest film in the current schedule?"
"How much!"
"Guess!"
"Don't guess, you can just say it!"
Li Zhifan really can't wait to know the answer.
Liao Feng said word by word: "Yida Cinema originally only gave 44% of the film schedule, but now they want to directly increase it to 71%!"
"What?" Li Zhifan didn't jump up, but he was really startled, "You repeat, how much?"
"Haha, I knew you wouldn't be able to sit still!"
Liao Feng said, "Several other companies also talked about the same, the lowest is not less than 60! And it is to give us the profit to improve the film schedule, at the beginning, we begged grandpa to tell grandma to schedule films, if it wasn't for the distribution cooperation with China Film, they would not have been able to give us a good face, now what? are all begging to sign a supplementary agreement with me, you say, it's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!"
Li Zhifan really smiled this time: "You Liao Da director, can you still say that you are poor? At that time, they just watched that you were not the director, so they were not optimistic!"
"So this poor is not talking about me, but about you!"
Liao Feng said, "Zhifan, I really didn't see the wrong person, it's my honor to know you, and it's even more fortunate to cooperate with you!
"Gotcha!"
Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Director Liao, don't talk about this, this celebration will be a little grander, and it will be held in the name of your Jufeng Pictures!"
"Okay! You can rest assured, the celebration will definitely be done!"
Liao Feng is not happy about the celebration party, because this is a necessary process, he is happy that it is actually held in the name of Jufeng, so that Jufeng's reputation will definitely continue to rise, and the stock market will inevitably rise again and again.
Hanging up the phone, Li Zhifan walked out of the office.
In the conference room next door, everyone has already begun to spread.
However, after glancing at the conference table, Li Zhifan was dumbfounded.
In addition to champagne, drinks and snacks, there are actually several boxes of instant noodles, four staff members are violently dismantling cardboard boxes and putting barrels of instant noodles on the table, and two other people are dismantling instant noodles and seasoning packets, which seem to be ready to be soaked.
Li Zhifan couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
One of the employees looked up and said embarrassedly: "Dad, we have been busy until now, and we haven't eaten dinner yet, so let's pad our stomachs first!"
"It's not...... Why didn't you go there during meal time?" Li Zhifan said strangely.
"It's not like a movie is going to be released, we're too busy to have time to go!" the employee said, "Besides, you didn't even go to dinner, how can we go?"
When Li Zhifan heard this, he was immediately sad, and then moved, and immediately said: "Don't dismantle it, call for takeout!"
"This ......"
"No need, it's not too early to call outside!"
"Like, we'll have to get busy in a minute!"
"Forget it, boss, we'll kill you when you have a treat!"
"It's just a small celebration inside, instant noodles to make do to fill your stomach, anyway, there are snacks and champagne, this life is not bad!"
Li Zhifan listened to everyone's words and was very moved.
He stretched out his hand and said, "Then you can make me a bucket too! I'm hungry too!"
"Okay!"
A few employees giggled, and got busy again.
"Boss!"
At this time, a male employee came in outside the door, holding a phone in his hand, "Mr. Lin from Hengdian Cinema is looking for you!"
Li Zhifan took the phone, he didn't know who the other party was, and asked directly: "Mr. Lin, I'm Li Zhifan!"
"Mr. Li, haha, thank you for answering my phone call in person!"
A flattering voice came from the other side, "Your employee called me just now, saying that he wanted to charter the venue?"
"Yes!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "I didn't expect this call to come to you!"
"Hey, it's okay! I'll solve this matter for you now, when do you want to watch it? Watch a few shows? I'll arrange it for you!"
"This ......" Li Zhifan was really difficult to answer for a while, so he said, "Why don't you let my employees talk to you, thank you for your support!"
"Alright, we'll talk about this little thing later!"
Mr. Lin suddenly changed the topic and said cautiously, "That, Mr. Li...... Regarding the film schedule, can you talk to Jufeng's side, your movie is selling so well, and the current 46% film schedule is too low!"
Forty-six percent is still low?
It depends on what kind of movie, if it is "Baby Plan" before it is not on sale, it must be regarded as a high-ranking film, but for the current "Baby Plan", it is really a little low!
Li Zhifan just answered Liao Feng's call, and naturally knew what Mr. Lin meant, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, this matter is under the management of the company, why don't you just find someone from Jufeng!"
"I'm looking, I just called!"
Mr. Lin said helplessly, "But they were not satisfied with the share we proposed, and asked us to go to China Film, saying that it was their cooperative distributor in the mainland, but you know, we are a private theater chain, how dare we go to China Film for this kind of thing, and I understand the rules of the industry, China Film is all named!"
"Zhongying is not just a name!"
Li Zhifan said meaningfully, "They are indeed the largest distributor of the film in the mainland!"
At the beginning, the negotiations with many theaters in the mainland relied on the resources and channels of China Film, and even some theaters and local state-run cinemas were directly negotiated by China Film's people.
But if it weren't for the fact that Jufeng was weak, it would be impossible to pull the big thick leg of Zhongying.
However, although the big thick legs are very effective, there is also a lot of wool that can be taken away, so in terms of the proportion of shares, the largest distributor in the mainland is China Film, which is much higher than Jufeng.
"I know, I know, but Jufeng can also talk about it? I went directly to China Film like this, it was time-consuming and laborious, and when the negotiation is really completed, I'm afraid this movie will be released for two weeks!"
Mr. Lin actually knew very well in his heart that if China Film hadn't come to the door in person, they would only be willing to give 22% of the film schedule at the beginning, but this is already a medium film schedule that was willing to be given in many theaters.
If you go directly to China Film to increase the number of films, China Film will definitely pick a stroke from their share, the style of eating meat at these two ends is exactly what China Film has always been doing, and everyone in the industry knows it.
Li Zhifan didn't plan to embarrass these theater chains, he still needed them to make money, who would be unable to get along with money?
But this is an opportunity, an opportunity to seize the right to speak, and it cannot be wasted.
So he smiled, "I don't know what the reason is for Jufeng, but I'll help you ask! Mr. Lin, after all, we will have a lot of cooperation in the future, and everyone will make money! I'll contact Jufeng in a while, you wait for the call!"
