Chapter 252: Good Times
Maybe there are really no outstanding domestic movies released this year, or maybe they were stimulated by Hollywood blockbusters, reporters originally thought that domestic films would fall into a trough, but they didn't expect a small surprise at the end of the year. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Party A and Party B" at least does not look boring, and there are quite a few highlights.
Especially in the capital, Ge You returned to the state of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and his performance was loose and a little wilted.
It's still the familiar Ge You, and it's still the familiar Beijing flavor.
Compared with the original appearance in "The Story of the Editorial Department", this time Ge You is free and light, which has a great relationship with his role as rich and noble in "Alive".
It can be said that around the age of thirty-five is a peak period for Geyou.
Journalists are mostly tolerant of this comedy, and do not measure an entertainment film by the standards of an art film, but some people say that the structure of the film is too scattered, more like a series of sketches.
In other words, it's too different from the movies that everyone usually watches, and it's a bit confusing.
Compared with the pickiness of reporters, the audience's reputation is quite good, and they don't bother to think about the structure of the movie, whether it is artistic, and they just think it is interesting.
"Party A and Party B" is more interesting than other domestic movies, so it is worth recommending to their relatives and friends.
Many lines in the movie are gradually becoming popular on the streets, so it is not up to journalists and artists to decide at the box office, the audience has their own standards, and their eyes are bright.
On Monday morning, Lin Zixuan went to Huaying Company to inquire about the statistical results of the movie box office.
At this time, the box office statistics are still done manually, not computers, and each movie theater will report the box office of each movie, and then the Chinese Film Company will integrate the statistics, so as to judge the popularity of a movie.
For films with poor box office, the number of films will be reduced, and films with good box office will increase the number of screenings.
The box office is related to the income of China Film Company, generally speaking, they will not deliberately target a certain film, no one will get along with interests, but some situations are unavoidable.
For example, even if the main theme movie is bad at the box office, it will be screened for a month, and it cannot be released in advance.
In addition, if you are in the capital, the films of the Beijing Film Studio will be given special care, but not necessarily in other cities, and the film projection companies in various places have the right to schedule their own films.
Taking "Party A and Party B" as an example, with the communication of Beijing Film Studio, the film can be released in most theaters in Beijing, while only one-fifth of the theaters in Shanghai may be released.
This is local protectionism, an unspoken rule in the film industry.
Therefore, it is very important for a film to achieve a good box office distribution, and the distribution is to open up the relationship between all parties to ensure that the film can get the maximum number of films in major cities across the country.
Huaguo's film industry has always been deformed and imperfect, and the distribution work is still in its infancy.
Not to mention the distribution work in the overseas market, even the distribution in the domestic market is very chaotic.
Yu Dong of Beijing Film Studio is running the distribution, in the capital, the major theaters will give him face, but not in other places, which requires deep connections and strong communication skills.
This is the current situation of the domestic film industry, and how to compete with Hollywood blockbusters in this state.
At present, Haomeng Company does not even have a publicity and distribution department, and relies on cooperation with Beijing Film Studio to obtain the opportunity for film distribution.
Lin Zixuan knows that the rice has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, so he can't be in a hurry, anyway, the focus of "Party A and Party B" this time is the box office results in Beijing.
Huaying's statistics confirm this idea.
Last weekend, the national box office of "Party A and Party B" was 280,000 yuan, of which Beijing accounted for 120,000 yuan, which was popular in various parts of the north, and the south was cold, and Shanghai and Huacheng had the lowest box office.
This is related to the Beijing flavor in the movie, some jokes are only understood by northerners, and southerners may know, but it is inevitable that they will be separated.
According to this trend, if "Party A and Party B" can be screened for a month and a half, the box office is expected to exceed 10 million.
For a movie with an investment of more than two million, a box office of more than seven million can protect the capital, and breaking through 10 million will definitely make money.
This is quite eye-catching among this year's domestic films.
After analysis, Huaying Company believes that this is the credit of Ge You, and Ge You has box office appeal in "Party A and Party B".
However, for Lin Zixuan, this result is not good enough, he thinks that it should be able to break through 20 million, just look at the next month, and see if it can form a domestic New Year schedule.
As time went on, there were more and more newspaper reports about Party A and Party B.
On the one hand, this domestic film has achieved good results and has a news effect, and there is also the publicity that Lin Zixuan spent money on, hired people to write advertorials, and how to tout it.
Wang Zhongjun has been doing this work, and now it's time to really make a difference.
However, there is an incident that has led to a significant increase in the box office of the movie "Party A and Party B".
The state stipulates that from January 1, 1995, China began to implement the system of weekends, which has long been determined through legal documents, but it is officially implemented on New Year's Day.
Originally, I could only take one day off a week, but I still had a lot of things to do on Sundays, so I didn't have time to watch movies.
Now I can rest for two days, I have free time why don't I go to a movie and relax, anyway, a ticket is only six yuan, I heard that there is a movie that is very popular, everyone has watched it I can't help but watch it.
There are many people who think this way, which stimulates the weekend film market.
Originally, "Party A and Party B" already had a declining movie box office, and it became popular because of weekends.
In half a month, the total box office of the country has exceeded 5 million, and the Beijing area has contributed 1.8 million, more than 30%.
According to the calculation of six yuan a ticket, that is, at least 300,000 people in the capital have watched this movie, "Party A and Party B" has become completely popular, and extending the screening time is a foregone conclusion.
"Brother Feng, don't worry about it now, our film of 15 million is not running, it depends on whether it can break through 20 million, although it can't be compared with Hollywood blockbusters, but it is the top in domestic movies." Lin Zixuan predicted.
"This is what I said about the right time, place and people, who would have thought that Saturdays and Sundays would stimulate the film industry so much, let's catch up with the good time." Feng Xiaogang said with emotion.
This is also a hot topic of discussion in the newspapers, and the weekend has had a great impact on all walks of life in China.
In the past, everyone had no time, but now they have an extra day to go out and walk around, which stimulates consumption, and they can also do a little business, and the daily life of citizens has become richer.
"The box office of the movie is a big hit, and the company's funds will be abundant, and our good time is coming." Lin Zixuan said with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
