059 Terrifying box office
(Thanks to my friend sheep breed, drunk I watch the reward encouragement)
"Yo, what's going on? Isn't it all right when we go out in the morning? Seeing Liu Anran coming back angrily, Liu Yi asked curiously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since getting along with Liu Anran, Liu Yi doesn't seem to have seen him angry. Usually he always has a smiling expression, and he is also giggling when he gets along with himself.
"Damn, I was humiliated by a stick today. Mingquan, don't be careful, I'm not talking about you. Liu Anran complained and then said to Jin Mingquan.
Jin Mingquan is also a self-motivated person, and he has been working hard to learn Chinese during this time. In fact, for Koreans of their age, many people have some contact with Chinese, so it is not difficult to pick it up.
"It's okay. Such arrogant people don't deserve my attention, and I'll get in touch with CJ and Showbox in a while. Jin Mingquan shook his head and said.
Now is the time for Liu Anran's entertainment industry to open up a battlefield in South Korea, and now he knows how it will help him in the future if he participates at this time.
Park Chung-hee didn't give Liu Anran a chance to introduce the films shot in the United States at all, he just took it for granted that Liu Anran couldn't make any films, but some of the things he heard in the past few days were not like this.
Needless to say, the director who often calls him, and the film they talk about is about to be filmed, and the investment has reached 50 million US dollars.
Now he feels a little sad for Lotte Pictures, there is a director like Park Jung-hee who is in charge of the theater chain, and it is estimated that Lotte Pictures will be like this in the future.
"Okay, let's get in touch with CJ first, they just came out on their own this year, and they should want to do something." Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.
Jin Mingquan nodded, sat aside, and looked up the relevant information and contact information again.
"Huh? Why did you come back so early today? Liu Anran asked curiously.
"Oh my God, Andy, don't you know that today is the day when our ghost movie is fully released at the box office in its first week? I'm waiting here for Edward's call, and it's almost there. George looked at Liu Anran and said like an alien.
"Uh, is this the first week of release?" Liu Anran asked in wonder.
"Oh my God, it's October 30th, which is October 29th in the United States, have you forgotten that our movie was released on October 27th?" George said in surprise.
"Oh no, I haven't forgotten. It's just that there are so many things going on these days that I keep forgetting to ask. Liu Anran hurriedly shook his head and said.
It's not that he doesn't care about the box office of "Ghost Record", but he has confidence in the movie. The publicity in the early stage is so good, and the map of the United States on the company's website is getting more and more popular, this box office is definitely not bad, and he is confident that he will surpass the box office record set by later generations.
It's just that I've been worrying about Korean movies these days, and occasionally I'll discuss the script with Guo Zairong, so I forgot about it. Now that George said it, it made him a little nervous, because after all, the first part of "Spy Shadow" is still waiting for money, and this is the big head.
The waiting time was a little anxious, and the cigar was unconsciously smoked, and George's phone finally rang cheerfully.
"George, did you hear the cheers from my side?" When George pressed the release button, Edward's relaxed voice came.
"Edward, don't sell it, tell me how the box office is doing." Liu Anran said loudly.
He had just heard the faint cheers coming from the microphone, and knew that the box office of this first week must be good, but he was still a little itchy and wanted to know how much it was.
"Ok, our great director Andy is also here. Then you have to listen, our first-week box office is 10,000 US dollars, ranking first in the weekly box office. In second place, "Meet My Father-in-law" grossed $10,000, and in third place was "Blair the Witch 2", which was released at the same time as us, and they only had a box office of less than $9 million. Edward's voice came out of the earpiece again.
The pen in Jin Mingquan's hand, who was listening attentively, didn't know when he pinched it, and the cigar that Liu Yi brought to his mouth forgot to smoke, George and Liu Anran's mouths opened wide, and there were traces of saliva flowing from the corners of Liu Anran's mouth.
It's crazy, although Liu Anran knew that there would be a good box office, but there was still some pressure after all, when it was released at the same time as "Blair the Witch 2", but it suddenly got a first-week box office of more than 34 million US dollars?
"Hey, hey, Andy, George, are you listening? Why is there no sound? Is it disconnected? Edward's voice woke them up from their stagnation.
"Edward, you-are you sure...... Our box office, no, no statistical error? Liu Anran grabbed the phone and asked with a snort.
"Oh, Andy, you're still there. How could this number be miscalculated, we carefully checked it four times, and there will be no mistakes. By the way, and the good news for you, there will be more than 2,400 theaters in the future. Edward said with a smile.
If you want this effect, in fact, I was shocked when I got this box office data. Then I called all the theaters one by one and verified the numbers again.
"Okay, Edward, let's do our best. Let's scare everyone crazy at the box office just like the movies. Liu Anran said with a laugh.
"However, these theaters also have some complaints, our movies only have high attendance in the evening, and during the day, the attendance is very low." Edward spoke.
"It's normal, it's a horror movie after all, but I think Halloween should be a little bit better during the day. Also, did I ask you to contact the theater chain to take photos during and after the screening? Liu Anran said with a smile and then asked.
"I know you're going to use a photo like this as a promotion for your film, and I've sent it to Owen. But those theaters now love and hate you, and while your movie brings everyone a high box office, it also increases everyone's cleaning costs. Edward said helplessly.
"It's just a little money, you can tell them to deduct some of the box office share, after all, I still have a lot of films to be released by them in the future." Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.
Although this cleaning fee is also an expense, it can be partially covered for the long-term cooperation with these theaters in the future.
