It has been more than 20 days since the release of "Killer", because of its good storytelling, coupled with the news of Zhang Guorong's concert last week, the market momentum of "Killer" is unusually strong, especially in the first two weeks, with a super high attendance rate and film schedule, it won nearly 23 million box office, although it declined in the third week, it was not too big, and it still achieved more than 8 million box office. Now in the fourth week, the popularity of the movie has gradually decreased.

"According to this trend, it is estimated that there will be more than three million at most this week, and it will not exceed four million, which is a pity." In the company, Zhao Xiaojun and Xu Jing sighed while drinking tea.

"A few days ago, I thought I had a big appetite, but now you are not satisfied. In fact, it's not too bad, according to this result, the top three in the year should be no problem. Xu Jing said with some amusement.

"I didn't dare to think about it before, but with the current results, how can I not have any ideas." Zhao Xiaojun shook the report in his hand, and then laughed at himself: "A few years ago, I took Xiaoxin and a few of them to Xiangjiang, and the big guys felt fresh and looked forward to mixing up, but after I came, I realized how difficult it is for us mainlanders to be here, doing the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work, but taking the least money." If it weren't for Uncle Lin's help, we would have to go to public housing. ”

Xu Jing didn't answer again, thinking about it, I understand, Zhao Xiaojun and others are also the most bullish in the army, how could they not be arrogant when they were sent to Xiangjiang by Yang Laosan. It's just that the reality is often more cruel than imagined, and the various crews suffer all kinds of white eyes and all kinds of unfair treatment, even Zhao Xiaojun, who has always been steady, feels aggrieved, but I am afraid that the other few people are holding back their breath in their hearts.

Although there are still a few months left this year, the box office champion is basically locked in the New Year champion "Eight Star Annunciation" at the beginning of the year. At present, the box office of "Hitman" is running to the top three of the year, although it is very high, but where is the box office champion to relieve his anger? Winning the box office championship is not about how much money you make, but about proving that the movies we make are no worse than the ones you make.

"Good news! Hey! At this time, Lin Jianguo walked in shaking his fat body, first picked up a cup of tea poured by Zhao Xiaojun for him, drank it all, and said with a smile as soon as he sat down: "In the past few days, many people have asked Xinbao about the copyright of "Killer", I estimate that someone should come to our company to talk about buying the copyright in the next few days!" ”

"A few days ago, Uncle Lin, you were still worried about how to solve the overseas distribution," Zhao Xiaojun poured a cup of tea for Lin Jianguo, then laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that people would automatically find it?" ”

"Not really!" Lin Jianguo took the tea and drank it all: "I almost handed over the overseas distribution rights to Jiahe." ”

"Uncle, when the time comes, you will drag the film company first, and then ask them to discuss the copyright matter when the movie is drawn." Xu Jing's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the sofa, thought about it, and said.

"I understand that the higher the box office, the better the copyright can be sold for a better price, right?" Lin Jianguo said with a smile.

"In addition, let's hold a celebration banquet in a few days, and we can invite more media reporters." After pondering for a moment, Xu Jing made another decision.

"Media reporters? Don't you dislike being interviewed? Lin Jianguo was surprised.

"It doesn't matter, invite more media reporters to watch it, and you can increase the box office again." Xu Jing didn't explain too much, he really didn't like to be interviewed, in his previous life, he was used to seeing all kinds of reports of wielding a pen and killing people without seeing blood, and he was somewhat reluctant to contact media reporters, plus he was not very sociable, and he was originally holding the mentality of avoiding it if he could, so he didn't accept any interviews during the previous movie promotion period.

But after Zhao Xiaojun inadvertently confided, he understood that "Killer" is not only a movie for him to interpret himself, but also the expectations of Zhao Xiaojun and others. Anyway, they were all sent to Xiangjiang by Yang Laosan, they have suffered so many grievances, and they have the responsibility to help them breathe this out.

On the evening of September 5, the celebration of "Hitman" was arranged at a hotel in Causeway Bay. In addition to the crew members, Lin Jianguo only invited Chen Rongmei, the boss of Xinbao Cinema, and some filmmakers from all over the world, as well as Xu Jingxin's Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang and a few other friends.

"Hey, Director Xu! I can't imagine you have become so young, good evening Brother Xun, you are really getting more and more beautiful! Before the banquet arrived, Zeng Zhiwei joked as soon as he came.

"Thank you Zhi Viagra." Zhou Xiaoxun took Xu Jing's arm and thanked him sweetly.

"I heard that you wrote a song for Guorong and Amei, and also helped me write one, you are so good at making movies, I think I should go and sing."

"It's funny, when it comes to movies, how can you compare with your all-rounder, you don't want to steal the singer's job anymore." Xu Jing said with a smile.

"Do you really think so? Actually, I think the same way, haha" Zeng Zhiwei laughed out loud after speaking.

"Ha, dead guy Zhiwei, bragging again." But it was Mei Yanfang and Zhang Guorong who arrived, Mei Yanfang and Zeng Zhiwei have always had a close relationship, so they lost their way right away, and then greeted Xu Jing and Zhou Xiaoxun.

"Eh, did the sun come out in the west today? Ame, why aren't you late? "The two of them really hurt each other.

"Ah Jing's movie celebration, of course, can't be late." Mei Yanfang said: "Ah Jing, congratulations, the box office has entered the top three of the year." ”

"That's right, it's almost twice as long as our "Rouge Buckle"." Zhang Guorong said.

""Rouge Buckle" is not bad, and it will definitely be a big winner of the Academy Awards next year." Xu Jingdao.

"You know that? Then do you think I can win the actor? Zhang Guorong said with a smile.

"There must be nominations, but I don't know if I can win the actor." Xu Jing naturally wouldn't tell the result.

"I see, there is "Killer", but I'm afraid that whoever wins the award next year will not live up to the name." Zeng Zhiwei laughed again.

"Yes, forget it, I still won't take this actor, I won't lose face if I take it." Zhang Guorong seemed to have really got his hands on it, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Why?" Zhou Xiaoxun's eyes widened, and she was curious, but she couldn't understand why they said that, couldn't "Killer" participate in the Academy Awards?

"Brother Xun, the Academy Awards are only awarded to local films in Xiangjiang, you and Director Xu are both mainlanders, "Killer" is a co-production film at most, and it cannot be selected for the Academy Awards." Zeng Zhiwei explained.

"Oh, I acted so well, I thought I could become a movie queen." Zhou Xiaoxun immediately lowered his head when he heard this, sighed, and instantly amused the group.

"Distinguished guests, colleagues, and media reporters, good evening, here is the celebration banquet for the box office of the movie "Killer" to exceed 32 million...

After all the crew members and guests arrived, Wu Zheng presided over the ceremony, and under his auspices, Lin Jianguo and Zhao Xiaojun briefly said some scenes one after another.

"Good evening everyone, before the ceremony began, I seemed to hear that many journalist friends seemed to be looking for Xu Jing, the director and star of "Hitman", so I would like to introduce myself briefly." The microphone was handed to Xu Jing, because he was not used to talking about the scene, and he didn't have much humor, so he just said what he wanted to express in a decent manner. When he said such a sentence, the people in the audience who were familiar with him couldn't help but burst into laughter, while the reporters on the side were puzzled and didn't understand what the situation was.

"As for me, it's the 'Xu Jing' you're looking for, when I was filming "Killer" before, because of the needs of the plot, I made some physical adjustments and makeup, which is quite different from my real image, so it caused some misunderstandings to everyone, here I apologize to you first, I hope you can understand." When Xu Jing finished saying this, he bowed slightly, and there was an uproar in the reporter area below, who would have thought that this thin young man would be the strong but vicissitudes of middle-aged uncle in "Killer"?

"I am very happy that the movie "Hitman" can achieve a box office result of 32 million today, because everyone has put in a lot of hard work and effort in the past few months, which shows that everyone's efforts have not been in vain. In addition, I am very grateful to Chen Dong of Xinbao Cinema, the achievements of "Killer" are inseparable from his support. And thanks to the publicity of friends in the news media, thank you! ”

Xu Jing didn't say much, and after thanking him, he handed the microphone to Chen Rongmei, the representative of the guest next to him.

"Today is the celebration banquet of "Hitman", I will not say much as a guest, here I only announce one thing, that is: after the resolution of our company's board of directors, our company has decided to extend the screening period of "Hitman" by 20 days! I hope Director Xu can make more good movies in the future. Thank you! As soon as Chen Rong finished speaking, the scene burst into warm applause.

Xu Jing and others were a little surprised, they didn't expect Xinbao to be willing to extend the screening period, you must know that in Xiangjiang, let alone extending the screening period, many movies are painted after a few days of release, and the screening period is usually extended only when there is a good film in the Chinese New Year.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that as a newly established theater chain, how to attract moviegoers is what Xinbao is most concerned about, and "Killer" is undoubtedly a masterpiece, and it can even be said to be a phenomenal movie. If it can break the historical box office record set by the 20-day postponement of "Eight Star Annunciation" in Xinyi City at the beginning of the year, it will undoubtedly be a good start for Xinbao.

And judging from the current market, the follow-up postponement of "Killer" will at least be able to win a few more million box office. According to the account sharing method of 60% in the first week and 50% in the second week and then gradually decreasing by the producer of "Hitman", the later it goes, the more the theater will be divided, in this case, Xinbao is naturally happy to extend the screening period.
