"How's the box office?"

On July 13, in the building of the Film Association, the statistician was counting the box office uploaded back from various theaters across the country, and the president of the association came to the office in person and asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Every morning, the box office of the previous day will be counted and released, and there is no exception, which is also one of the things that the film association is responsible for after its formation.

It's just that in the past, these statisticians did it themselves, and then the people below were responsible for publishing, and the president of the association never asked. But today is different, because in the box office that came out today, there are two films that he is very concerned about, one is Wu Baige's "Hong Kong Island Fengyun", and the other is Chen Ze's "Infernal Affairs".

After the box office of these two films went through the previous period of time, he knew that countless netizens must also be paying attention to the box office this time, so he also had to ask in person to see how the box office of these two films was.

"President, the box office of "Hong Kong Island Vice" on the first day is 173 million."

The statistician knew that the chairman actually came to see the box office of the two movies "Hong Kong Island Vice" and "Infernal Affairs", so he directly reported the box office of these two films to him.

"So much? Not bad, not bad, haha, not bad. The president was stunned, then laughed. The highest first-day box office of last year's summer file was 180 million, and although this year's "Hong Kong Island Storm" did not break the record, it was already the highest in this year's summer file.

At the beginning, he was worried that if it was really as he expected, "Hong Kong Island Storm" hit the street, then he would not be able to explain it to the outside world, but now that he heard so much box office, he breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he had really thought too much before.

"What about Infernal Affairs?" The president asked, very relaxed at the moment.

"The box office of "Infernal Affairs" is 38.2 million." Statisticians said.

Hearing this number, the smile on the president's face abruptly stopped: "What? How much? ”

The president couldn't believe his ears, Chen Ze's "Infernal Affairs" only arranged five percent of the film schedule for him, how could there be a box office of more than 30 million. Besides, the film schedule of "Hong Kong Island Vice" is more than ten times that of him, even if the box office proportion of the two is the same, Chen Ze's "Infernal Affairs" should be more than 10 million at most, how did the more than 38 million come from?

"More than 38 million presidents." The statistician continued, "This year's summer season has increased by more than 30 percent compared to last year, and yesterday's total box office was 365.21 million. ”

Hearing the statistician's words, the chairman realized that this year's box office situation was so good, and it actually increased by 30 percent compared with last year, so the gold content of "Hong Kong Island Vice" 170 million has dropped a lot compared with last year.

And the schedule for Wu Baige's new movie is more than 50%, but the box office proportion is not 50%, and the box office proportion of a movie premiere does not exceed the proportion of the film schedule, so it can only show one thing, this movie is actually not popular, and the reason why the box office looks okay is just because of the queue.

"But, even so, the box office of Chen Ze's new movie is too high, you are not wrong, aren't we arranging only five percent of the film schedule for him?" The president of the Film Association said that he still couldn't believe the box office of Chen Ze's movie.

With 5% of the film schedule, it actually accounts for more than 10% of the box office, this, this is simply against the sky, it is almost impossible for Huaxia to release such a movie.

"We have investigated the president, in fact, judging from the situation reflected by the major theaters, "Infernal Affairs" is even more popular than the data can show, almost every theater said that five percent of the film schedule is not enough at all, almost all fans go to watch "Infernal Affairs", and many theaters have also adjusted the film schedule a little bit independently."

"And according to their reactions, although the box office of "Hong Kong Island Vice" is okay, the reputation is very poor, and many people say that they are fooled after watching it, and they all predict that the box office of "Hong Kong Island Vice" may have a big decline, so they ask us to reduce the film schedule of "Hong Kong Island Fengyun" and increase the film schedule of "Infernal Affairs".

The statisticians opened their mouths and reported all the information and data they had collected from the theater to the president.

What they say is long and a bit complicated. But all in all, it means that the finalization of "Hong Kong Island Vice" is far from being as good as it seems, and all the theaters are asking to reduce the schedule of "Hong Kong Island Vice" and give the schedule to "Infernal Affairs".

"This, this one will be slowed down for a while, watch it for two more days, watch it for two more days, and if it still doesn't work after two days, cut the schedule of "Hong Kong Island Vice" and give it to "Infernal Affairs".

The president said, in fact, he has realized that everything is as he thinks, and Wu Baige's new movie really doesn't work. But whether it is out of consideration for Wu Baige's face or his relationship with Wu Baige, it is impossible to cut his movie schedule the next day, so the chairman decided to wait.

"Okay, president, will the box office of each house be distributed to each of them yesterday?" The statistician asked.

"It's better to send it to them according to the process, and then announce the result on our official WeChat." The president spoke.

In Wu Baige's office, there are several people in the room at this moment, all of whom are the assistant directors of the crew of "Hong Kong Island Fengyun" this time, and they all have smiles on their faces, as if something particularly good has happened.

"Haha, Director Wu, congratulations, the box office on the first day was 170 million, setting a new high for this year's summer file, it seems that our movie is guaranteed to be 2 billion." An assistant director said.

They all got the data from the Film Association just now and knew the box office of this movie, so they hurriedly rushed to Wu Baige's office to congratulate him.

Because each company only got the box office data of their own movie, and didn't know about others, these assistant directors didn't know that their movie situation was actually not good, and they thought it was already very good, and even shouted out the words of guaranteeing 2 billion.

Hearing their words, Wu Baige also showed a smile on his face, he has become more and more cautious about the box office since he hit the street several movies in a row, and now he heard that the box office on the first day was actually 170 million, and the total box office may be 2 billion, which made him very happy.

"Not bad, but we'll have to keep up the good work." Wu Baige nodded and said, "By the way, let our movie's Weibo tell the news, just say that our movie has set a new record for the premiere of this year's summer file, with a total box office of 2 billion." ”

Two billion, at present, only a few movies in China have reached it, and Wu Baige's previous highest-grossing movie was actually less than 800 million, and he would never dare to shout it before, but now after hearing the box office on the first day, he was a little fluttering, and felt that 2 billion was already nine out of ten.

"Okay." An assistant director nodded, "By the way, how much do you think Chen Ze's new movie will be at the box office?" Will he regret quitting when he hears about our box office. ”

"Hahaha, his movies are only five percent scheduled, where can the box office go, it is estimated that it will be several million at most, and he looks like he is on the street, and he is not qualified to be compared with our movies at all." An assistant director said.

"Yes, he also quit our crew, I really don't know what to do, our movie is at the level of 2 billion, looking for him to play is already very face-saving for him, he actually quit, I want to see if he knows the box office on the first day of our movie this time, will his bowels be green with regret."

Another assistant director said that his words seem to be two billion is really nine out of ten.

"Haha, then let him take a look at our first-day box office, I'm just worried that he won't be able to eat angrily after he knows about it."

"Yes, just him, by the way, 'congratulations' to his box office, haha, let's see how he gets off the stage this time."

Several assistant directors said that they didn't know how much box office Chen Ze's new movie had won, but in their opinion, it was nothing more than a few million, and cannon fodder movies were not qualified to compare with themselves.

Because, all of them didn't take Chen Ze seriously at all, and they opened their mouths to laugh, and the whole office was full of laughter. (To be continued.) )
