Gu Xiaofan had been influenced by the revolutionism of the old factory director for a long time, and his mentality was quite peaceful, but he couldn't help but be a little worried when someone said a few words like this. 【】

So he couldn't help but go back to the room, turned on the computer and looked at it, wanting to see the comments on the Internet, but to his disappointment, due to the lack of strong promotion, there was not much news about "Chinese Partner" on the major online media.

Although there is a lot of discussion about "Chinese Partner" in "Xiaofan Bar", there is nothing to discuss the plot.

Occasionally, a few posts said: "The shooting is too powerful, Xiao Fange's film debut is amazing." "There are only a few posts.

It seems that not many people watched the premiere today...... Thinking about it, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Chariots of Soul" were released today, and he didn't shoot many screens, plus the competitors are so big, it is normal to have no good response at the beginning.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but pray with some uneasiness in his heart, the heavenly spirit is spiritual, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva will soon appear...... If this film can't recoup its investment, then the bull he bragged about at the projection association before will be in vain...... You must get 70 million......

At this time, Gu Xiaofan wanted to find out about the box office of the original version of "Chinese Partner" from the Sirui system, but all the relevant information was blocked by the system......

That's it, with a worried mood, Gu Xiaofan didn't sleep well all night.

The next morning, before it was time to go to work, Gu Xiaofan arrived at the data room of the Shangying headquarters in advance.

As soon as I entered the door, I accidentally found Chu Qiubai sitting in front of the computer smoking, the ashtray on the table was full of cigarette ash, it seemed that "Chinese Partner" was released, and this Chu was even more nervous than him.

"Director Gu, come here." Chu Qiubai watched him enter the door, and stood up with a faint hint of excitement in his tone.

"Mr. Chu, why are you here so early? It's not 8 o'clock yet. Gu Xiaofan looked at the wall clock on the wall.

"I also just came, I called the person in charge of a few theaters, and they all said that the effect was quite good." Chu Qiubai's tone was calm and authentic.

Gu Xiaofan could hear what he said, Chu Qiubai personally called the various theater chains, I am afraid that he wanted to put pressure on the theater manager and arrange more screens for him.

"Mr. Chu, you should have the data for the first day of yesterday's premiere, right?" Gu Xiaofan asked a little impatiently.

"Well, guess how many?" Chu Qiubai laughed and deliberately teased him.

"Don't sell it." Gu Xiaofan was anxious, thinking that Chu Qiubai was so unserious......

"I already got 800,000 at the box office on the first day." Chu Qiubai's eyes were full of excitement, because the box office figure on the first day had surpassed that after 1990, except for Gong Li starring in "Shake and Shake to Grandma's Bridge", all the movies filmed by Shanghai Film Co., Ltd.

"Only 800,000?" Gu Xiaofan's whole mood fell to the bottom.

"Only 800,000?" Chu Qiubai couldn't help laughing: "Do you know that this is achieved on the premise that the results of 60 screens are released, and the attendance rate of each show exceeds 70." ”

"Isn't that good?" Gu Xiaofan didn't know why, but he didn't have any concept in his heart.

Chu Qiubai patiently explained: "There are now a total of 3,527 screens in the country, and yesterday one day, 391 of them were released in "Spider-Man 3", 876 were released in "Soul Chariot", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has 1070 screens, although you are not the most screens in domestic films, but it is the highest box office. ”

Saying that, Chu Qiubai read out the box office of other domestic movies:

"320,000 for "Serial Bureau", 170,000 for "Night and Bright", 120,000 for "The Secret of the Treasure Gourd", 230,000 for "Whenever Change", and 430,000 ...... for "The Story of the Old Port"

When Gu Xiaofan heard that none of the other domestic films exceeded 500,000, he was a little more balanced in his heart, and thought to himself, no wonder the summer file was cruel, it turned out that domestic films were so bleak.

Leung Ka-fai, Karen Mok, these Hong Kong stars' movies are not as good as their own ......

Chu Qiubai confidently concluded: "Although "Soul Chariot" has a box office of 5.6 million on the first day, with his score of 876 screens, the final box office may not be better than yours, which is definitely a good start for us."

And the attendance rate above 70% will definitely allow theaters to increase our screen count, and I conservatively estimate that our box office should not be too much of a problem to break the 20 million mark. ”

When it comes to this 20 million, Chu Qiubai's tone has obviously improved a lot, you must know that this number does not sound much, but in fact, last year, it could already enter the top 20 of the domestic movie box office.

What's more, this is in the tragic summer file, in the cracks of the encroachment of Hollywood blockbusters, this amount is much heavier, you must know that this is Gu Xiaofan's Virgo, last year's Ning Hao's blockbuster "Crazy Stone" only had a box office of 23 million, Gu Xiaofan is very hopeful to be compared with Ning Hao.

Gu Xiaofan couldn't help frowning when he heard these numbers, that is to say, it is estimated that he can only get 20 million at most, even if he doubles, he can't recover the cost......

Could it be that the movie that I worked so hard to make still can't get out of the constraints of the general environment?

Gu Xiaofan believed in Sirui and believed in himself, but the facts made him a little uneasy.

"Don't worry." Chu Qiubai saw that his face was not good, and couldn't help but comfort: "Your movie was not a commercial film in the first place, it has greatly boosted our film, and it is already much beyond expectations to get a box office of 20 million, no matter what work you make next, our group will strongly support it." ”

"Chinese Partner" evokes the soul of the film for the reappearance of Shangying, the box office is no longer the most important, Gu Xiaofan is already a well-deserved leader of Shangying.

Chu Qiubai didn't know that Gu Xiaofan was worried that this was not the case, he was worried that if he couldn't recover the cost, he wouldn't be able to let Han Sanpin fulfill his promise, and wouldn't his next work be in vain when it was released in the Lunar New Year......

But now he doesn't have to panic, he still has a backhand to promote this movie, but the problem is that he can't take the initiative with this trick, so he can only wait for the other party to come to him......

Come on...... New Oriental ...... Sue me for infringement......

When Gu Xiaofan was worried, suddenly the secretary Xiao Chen ran in, and said with a panicked face: "Oh no, Mr. Chu, something happened~"

Gu Xiaofan immediately stood up with anticipation on his face when he heard this.

Chu Qiubai looked at Xiao Chen and glanced at Gu Xiaofan again, nodded and said, "Director Gu is not an outsider, so he has something to say." ”

Xiao Chen gasped for breath and calmed down: "Just now, I received a lawyer's letter from the Legal Affairs Department of New East, suing "Chinese Partner" for adapting the story class of the three founders without permission and putting it on the screen! ”

Hearing this news, Chu Qiubai, such a calm person, turned pale on the spot.

The issue of copyright infringement is the last thing filmmakers are willing to ......

At this time, I saw Gu Xiaofan excitedly raising his fist and shouting: "Great!" ”
