What is the concept of a single screen for $8,000 a week~! Just kidding, that's close to the level of Hollywood A-grade movies!

The cumulative box office in the first two days has exceeded 600,000 US dollars, which means that "Life Remote Control" has reached the hard indicator of the number of upgraded screens; And according to this trend, it is also expected that a single screen will cost more than 10,000 US dollars a week, and according to the contract, Sony must increase the number of screens released in "Life Remote Control", which makes Foday simply go crazy with joy.

Just now, Sony decided to add 1,000 screens to "Life Remote", and the file has not yet been printed, Foday turned back to Sony headquarters to slap the table with his boss.

"This result ~ an increase of 1,000 yuan is far from enough! At least 1500 yuan~! Foday confidently shouted at Sony's top management at the impromptu meeting that he was certainly not so excited about the movie "Life Remote Control", but for his own survival.

Just when Sony's notoriously rigorous distribution department and other personnel were discussing whether to add 1,000 or 1,500 screens next week, the box office results on the third day once again caught them off guard. Sony Formula received a jaw-dropping report.

"Life Remote Control" received $470,000 at the box office on the third day on 498 screens! The average attendance rate rose to 78 percent, and the prime time slot at 8 o'clock after dinner even reached 100 percent......

In this way, the single-screen single-screen performance of "Life Remote Control" can reach the level of $10,000 A-grade films, and the minimum number of first-stage films for A-grade films is 2,000 screens......

When Li Xiaole heard the news, although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help laughing.

Tom Cruise, Scarlett, Matthew...... Everyone was stunned, this box office result completely exceeded their imagination, the box office of the movie in three days is not a big deal, but the growth rate is double that every day, this is almost a dark horse posture that wants to be a big hit......

Although Sony is still a little reluctant, under Foday's strong request, it can only increase the number of screens to 2,000 according to the contract.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the blowout still had no intention of stopping, and on the fourth day after Sony played the excellence of a large company, made a copy of the rated amount in half a day, and distributed it to theaters in 12 western states, with a total of 2,500 screens, "Life Remote Control" turned out to be 79 percent on the fourth day. 8Average Attendance...... got 2.78 million box office,

Sony's distribution department was shocked and began to be confused, what made this almost hyped film grow so wildly?

At this time, someone finally informed them of what was happening on Facebook, and these forty and fifty-year-old distribution managers struggled to register their accounts, boarded this trendy software that is now hot, and found that on this social network with 10 million registered people, there is no one who does not know "Life Remote Control": "Tearful Comedy", "Apple's Latest Mobile Phone Exposed" and the big promotional slogan on Jobs's account.

"Apple has redefined mobile phones, 'Life Remote' has redefined comedy, and you can watch both as long as you go to the cinema."

It dawned on the distribution managers.

Millions of tech nerds, IT fans, and geeks on the West Coast have been aroused with great curiosity, and many people who hardly go to the cinema have come out of their homes to watch this known as the "most touching comedy movie" this year in order to see Apple's finger touch screen mobile phone......

In San Francisco, the gathering place of science and technology houses, there is also a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket in the movie theater, and even the tickets for the unpopular theater that was released at noon were sold out as soon as they hit the counter.

In the ticket office of the Laika Cinema, there are now more than 100 young people who are obsessed with new technology, ranging from 16-year-old high school students to 25-year-old office workers, almost each of them holding a laptop in their hands, looking at the exposure picture of the "Apple phone" being transmitted to the Internet, and shouting and guessing what new inventions Jobs, a genius, has made on the Apple phone.

This footage was also posted on the Internet by these tech nerds, and this activity is called "Find Answers from Movies." "Countless netizens have gathered the information exposed, and I want to see the real image of Apple's mobile phone in advance.

"I really thought the iPhone would have such an impact before it was released." Sitting in his office, Jobs looked at the videos uploaded to the Internet on his computer and sighed to his chief designer, Jonathan Yves.

"Indeed, this Li Xiaole is really amazing, he basically didn't spend a penny of publicity money, and he did the work of 50 people in our propaganda department." Jonathan also took a deep breath.

"I'm afraid that our ten propaganda departments can't stand up to him alone." Jobs sighed and shook his head, turning his head to look at Jonathan:

"Jonathan, do you think I'm going too far when I hired him as the lead concept designer for our iPhone project?" It's normal to put another company member on the head of your old subordinate and cause dissatisfaction.

"Nope." Jonathan shook his head again and again and said with a wry smile:

"Frankly speaking, Steve, I was indeed a little unhappy when you just told me, because this Li Xiaole is actually just a layman in Jishu, but when you showed me the iphone 5-year planning map of Luen Mei Company, I knew that your decision was correct, whether it is the profit model of iTunesStore, or ios software optimization, how can there be the experience of each household on the mobile phone itself, this guy can simply be my teacher...... I really don't understand, how can he know so much at his age~? Are the Chinese really that smart? ”

"yes, I sometimes suspect that he came back from the future in a time machine." Jobs also laughed, but suddenly touched his abdomen uncomfortably.

"Are you alright, Steve?" Jonathan asked nervously.

"It's okay...... It's good, I'll just take a break. Jobs shook his head and said with difficulty.

"Steve...... Are you really going to go to the hospital after releasing your iPhone? Jonathan's face was full of worry: "I remember that I didn't listen to you before, and you were reluctant to let go of the company's development project......"

"I know my body." Jobs waved his hand with a wry smile: "I know very well that the only thing that keeps me going is that I love what I do......

"Because Li Xiaole can replace you, did you decide to rest for a while......?" Jonathan asked in a sour tone.

"Not exactly......" Jobs' eyes were full of anticipation, and he gently pressed Jonathan's hand:

"You don't understand, Jonathan, Li Xiaole can not only be similar to my expansion of the idea of smart phones, but also can inspire me, some of the designs in his five-year Jihua book are very great, if you can achieve half of them, then he will completely change the current media system, the iPhone is just a small beginning, it is an entrance for him to enter the media, he is very likely to use the iPhone to create a media kingdom, I can yujian to that day, I am also looking forward to seeing that day, That's the fundamental reason why I'm willing to give everything to heal......"

"I hope so......" Jobs echoed incredulously, unconsciously thinking about those ethereal WeChat, iTunesStore, network cloud services or something...... It all sounds like Luen Mei is using Apple's means to promote the movie, but what good can it do Apple? The bigger the business, the heavier the business......

Noticing the hesitation in Jonathan's eyes, Jobs couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, his eyes looked like the blue sky outside the window, and now it seems that it is difficult for anyone to understand, and when Li Xiaole's wings mature, the entire media industry in the United States may face a huge shock...... Of course, the premise of all this depends on how far Li Xiaole's film influence can be expanded, and he is looking forward to that day.

Three days have passed, and the box office results of the first week of "Life Remote Control" were finally fixed on the number of 13.12 million~

The weekly box office result of 13.12 million also made "Life Remote Control" ranked 8th in the weekly box office list in North America; In first place, the fourth part of the famous spoof comedy "Screaming" series, he got a good score of 82.39 million in the first week of release, and "Ice Age 2", which was released for two weeks, ranked second with a score of 40.01 7 million, and "Mission Impossible 3" fell sharply by more than 50 percent, ranking third with a box office of 32.78 million.

As for "The Lion in the Mouth of the Sheep"...... only got a pitiful 3.27 million and fell out of the top 20......

And it is also produced by Luen Mei Company, the production specifications are equivalent to "The Lion into the Sheep's Mouth", and the publicity cost is less than one-fifth of his "Life Remote Control" can get the 8th, which makes everyone a little surprised, they don't know how Sony suddenly killed a dark horse?

Although the number of screens screened has been greatly expanded, the attendance rate of "Life Remote Control" has not been diluted, but because of word-of-mouth transmission, there is also an upward trend, in the past three days, San Francisco theaters have begun to apply to Sony many times to increase the copy of this movie, because the popularity of "Life Remote Control" has made San Francisco's major theaters appear hard to find......

This dark horse continues to make the box office fever......
