Chapter 64: Five Hundred Thousand in Three Days

There was nothing to do on Thursday morning, after class, at noon, after lunch, Zhou Yi took his sister, invited his roommates, and a group of little girls in the girls' dormitory, to go to a cold drink shop outside the school to eat some cold drinks to relieve the heat, after all, the weather in Yanjing in May was already relatively hot.

Tang Yan and her classmates naturally went happily.

Someone treated, and the little girls were very happy.

When they came to the cold drink shop, the students found a big table and sat in a large circle with hulala, waiting to eat cold drinks.

Zhou Yi greeted the boss: "Boss, get us some cold drinks." Whatever you want to eat, choose for yourself! ”

The students giggled and picked up.

There were a few other students and guests in the shop, all drinking cold drinks.

The boss came over to greet the guests, took a closer look at Zhou Yi, and said in surprise: "Are you Zhou Yi?" Tsinghua star! ”

"Am I so famous now? Can you recognize me? Zhou Yi was stunned.

"Your classmates often talk about you. You're famous on campus, you're in the movies, and you're a star of the future! I do business in the neighborhood and often receive students from your Tsinghua High School, how could I not know? The boss explained with a smile.

"The boss is so well-informed!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"The boss can now enjoy the treatment of being recognized by fans when he goes out." Wu Xuehua came out in time.

Everyone laughed.

Some of the guests next to him looked at this side in surprise, but not everyone knew Zhou Yi.

Some students knew Zhou Yi and kindly introduced it to the guests next to them.

Everyone knows this, look at Zhou Yi, I'm very interested.

Zhou Yi is also a celebrity of Tsinghua High School.

The boss said to Zhou Yi at this time: "The "Five Poison Gate" you filmed, I went to watch the evening show yesterday!" It's really a good film, especially the fighting scenes are so exciting. I can't believe you're shooting so beautifully! At first glance, he is a professional practitioner of national arts, and his skills are too good. ”

"Thank you, boss! How did you come up with the idea to see it? Zhou Yi asked with a smile. He's curious! What kind of propaganda worked?

"Actually, my child watched TV and kept clamoring to watch it, but he is not old enough to sell tickets in theaters. I asked my wife to take the children to watch "Gourd Baby", and I watched "Five Poisons" by myself. My child was quite unhappy yesterday! ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

"It's better for children not to watch it, the plot is too cruel, and it's not good to be exposed to those contents too early." Zhou Yi persuaded him.

"I know that, too! But children like to watch fight scenes, but it's haunting. The boss said helplessly.

"There is no age group for playing, and people generally like to watch it. Children love it too! Wu Xuehua said with a smile.

At this time, the students all picked up a lot of cold drinks and asked the guys in the store to help them get them.

Everyone sat around eating and drinking.

Anyway, Zhou Yi is not afraid of spending money, and the classmates are not polite.

"Zhou Yi, can we take a group photo? I'll take it home and show it to the kids. The boss asked with a smile.

"Of course you can! No problem. Zhou Yi readily agreed, and met the fans' requests at any time.

So the boss asked the guys in the store to help take a group photo with his mobile phone and take a better picture.

Zhou Yiman didn't care, and took a few photos with the boss.

Other guests also came to take a group photo, learned about the film, and said that they would definitely go to see it.

Zhou Yi thanked him again and again. This can be regarded as a promotion for the film.

The boss finally had an idea and took a group photo with the whole table.

He didn't know how valuable his casual idea was.

The students all joined in the fun, so they naturally didn't mind taking a group photo, and the last photo took the whole table of students.

Wu Xuehua said with a smile: "Boss, you have made a lot of money in this photo, you must keep it well." Wait for decades later, and if you take it out again, you don't know how many superstars and how many successful people there are. That's when you're crooked. In the future, others will be envious! ”

Everyone laughed, let the boss not take it seriously, Wu Xuehua usually likes to talk nonsense.

The boss laughed too.

Whether he will take it seriously, who knows?

But if he really kept this photo well, he would be surprised decades later!

How simple is this for successful people?

Hurry up and faint with happiness!

At this time, the boss asked the guy to help Zhou Yi bring a glass of freshly squeezed mango juice as a thank you.

He sat next to him and chatted with everyone.

"Zhou Yi, how is the box office of your movie now?"

"It's good. It is now screened in 45 theaters, and yesterday's single-day total box office was close to 200,000 yuan. The total box office of the first three days of screenings has exceeded 500,000 yuan. Next week, the scale of the screening can be expanded and it will be released nationwide. Zhou Yi briefly introduced.

"Wow! The box office is really good! There are more than 4,000 single museums, which is a number of strong films. ”

The boss knows a little about the situation in the industry and is not a pure layman.

And he usually always settles accounts, and his mental arithmetic ability is very strong, and he immediately calculates the box office of the single hall.

The students were not surprised to know the good news.

In fact, Zhou Yi received Wednesday's box office situation in the morning.

The average attendance of a single show on Wednesday has reached 85, which is indeed a steady increase, with the average number of film schedules reaching 6.26, the average box office of a single theater reaching 4,400 Chinese yuan, and the total box office of a single day screening of 198,000 Chinese yuan. Seeing that the single-day box office is about to exceed 200,000 yuan.

At present, the total box office of the first three days of screenings has exceeded 500,000 yuan.

It is already a sure thing that the box office will exceed 1 million Chinese yuan for the whole week, and it depends on whether the box office can exceed 1 million Chinese yuan in the three days of the weekend. If the weekend box office can really exceed 1 million Chinese dollars, or even about 1.5 million Chinese yuan, maybe your own film will be able to take the last place on the weekend box office list this week! That's cool, it's definitely a miracle!

The dark horse miracle cast by 45 theaters, I don't know if it can be completed this weekend.

This week, the two strong films "Hulu Baby" and "Tongquetai" have entered the second week, and the new films do not seem to have particularly strong films, and the two strongest films should be "Escape from the Lost Island" and "The Phantom of the Labyrinth", which will only be released on weekends, but the industry's expectations are very average. Zhou Yi usually pays attention to these situations. The reputation of the remaining new films is not very good, and the scores on the Fengshen list are generally not high, so they can only be regarded as barely making up a few films. Some strong films are probably afraid of being hit by the two super blockbusters next week, and they will be cut in half, so they have dodged and hung their cards high.

This is perfectly normal.

It's like the train horn is coming, and you, a cyclist, have to stand in front of the tracks, isn't that sick and going to die?

If you really want to do that, you can't blame others for being crushed!

Only a national blockbuster like "Gourd Baby" can be regarded as having some confidence!

From this point of view, "Five Poisons" will counterattack this week's weekend box office rankings in the screening week, which is not an impossible task, it depends on the outbreak of the weekend box office, and there is definitely a good chance. And it's really a coincidence. A week earlier, a week later, there is a double-strong film "Zhenshentou", which will simply kill a miracle, and it is difficult to have the current miracle of screening.

This kind of thing may sound like an exaggeration, but it's not an exaggeration at all.

You must know that on the weekend box office rankings, the films that are ranked behind are generally very unsatisfactory at the box office, and they are not irreversible.

This is a relationship between the strong and the weak, not in descending proportions.

Although it ranks 10th on the weekend box office list, no matter how much the scale of theaters is reduced, there are often more than 1,300 theaters to be released, if you only look at it on the surface, it is not something that a small film like "Five Poisons" can counterattack.

1,300 theaters compared to the 45 theaters in Zhengdong's "Five Poison Gates", a gap of nearly 30 times, how do you counterattack?

It seems like an impossible task.

But reality is often more amazing than imagination!

This is indeed a miracle that is possible!

For example, the box office of that film is very unsatisfactory, with only more than 30 people, or more than 20 people, or even more than 10 people watching each show.

The worst-case scenario, with only a few people, or even no one, is possible.

If you really can't even collect the electricity and labor bills from the theater line, people won't show mercy to your subordinates.

In this case, the cinema chain will not only reduce the number of theaters, but also the number of screens and the number of screenings.

If 1,300 theaters only give one screen to a single theater every day and screen one or two shows, although the number of theaters is large, the box office will definitely not be high.

And if Zhengdong's "Five Poison Gates" can maintain its current rapid momentum, by the weekend, each of these 45 theaters may come up with two or three screens, and the original digital copies will be doubled, with a total of 110 digital copies, not 45, which is enough to be screened.

If each theater shows at least 8 shows a day, more than a dozen; If the small hall is replaced with a middle hall or a hall, the middle hall will reach more than 150 moviegoers in a single show, and the hall will reach more than 300 moviegoers......

Not to mention the 30-fold gap in the number of theaters, it is a 100-fold gap in the number of theaters, which can be erased in an instant.

The number of screens, the number of screenings, and the number of moviegoers are all means for strong films to crush weak films, not just the number of theaters. And don't underestimate the ability of fans to buy tickets, most of the cities that are screened are first-tier cities, and they all have the ability to explode at the box office.

Therefore, theoretically, it is absolutely possible to counterattack the weekend box office rankings, but it is very difficult to be limited by the number of theaters. But the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because it is difficult! What kind of miracle is no difficulty?

What's more, this difficulty can be overcome, and it is definitely not invincible.

The senior management of Zhengdong Pictures all have this kind of prediction, and Zhou Yi can naturally get the news, and he has a bottom in his heart.

Especially the screening in the first three days was so good, which added a lot of confidence to him.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Zhou Yi drinks freshly squeezed mango juice, and his mood is indeed very comfortable.

Drinks with ice are really good for relieving the heat!

The boss was still chatting with Zhou Yi at this time.

"You're going to expand the theater chain next week, how many theaters can you have?"

"At present, 1,016 have been finalized, but it is likely that Taiwan and Hong Kong will also be released over the weekend, so that at least 1,050 theaters will be screened."

"Wow! For small-budget films, that's a big profit. The scene of your film is very small, and it must not cost much, and it is definitely a big profit. ”

"Borrow your good words from the boss!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"By the way, there are two super blockbusters coming out next week! You're going to hit your head head! The boss said worriedly for Zhou Yi.

"It's okay! We are small films, not afraid of big films! Besides, we haven't released it in mainstream theaters yet! Even if they tried to hit us, they wouldn't be able to! They simply can't squeeze our screens. As for grabbing the audience, who is afraid of whom! The audience watching blockbusters will always be saturated. They can bring fans to the enthusiasm of movie-watching, and maybe we will pick up the bargain! Everyone will always refer to other new films! Like this week's "King Kong Gourd Baby" and "Tongquetai" are blockbusters, and in the second week of release, they didn't do anything to us, maybe the types of fans are different. ”

Zhou Yi was prepared, very optimistic, and not worried.

What's more, there will be another wave of propaganda frenzy in Zhengdong next week.

"Haha! That's just as well! The boss laughed.

"Don't worry! You are a student of our Tsinghua High School, I will definitely help you recommend the film. At least every regular customer who comes to my store, I will tell them. The boss said enthusiastically.

"Then thank you boss for your support!"

It is naturally a good thing to have enthusiastic fans to help promote it, and Zhou Yi can't ask for it.

This kind of publicity is very good!

But everyone didn't pay attention, in a corner of the cold drink hall, there was a young man sitting, looking ordinary, average-looking, about 30 years old, wearing a small sunshade hat, drinking cold drinks, while holding a tablet to check something, it seems to be an ordinary company white-collar worker. It's not wrong to say that he is an ordinary white-collar worker, but he is actually a paparazzi in the entertainment industry.

He didn't come forward to greet Zhou Yi just now, nor did he take a group photo together, he didn't care about it on the surface, but in fact, he had been secretly paying attention to the situation here.

However, he is obviously not dangerous, and Zhou Yi naturally doesn't care.

What dangers can paparazzi have?

This person is an exclusive paparazzi hired by a local second-tier entertainment magazine "Movie Hodgepodge" in Yanjing, and is usually responsible for digging up the ** news of some celebrities. To say that this magazine is a hodgepodge of movies is better to say that it is a hodgepodge.

The two male stars are in the same car, in their words, it is not a personal relationship, it is a foundation.

The two actresses are in the same car, in their words, it's not girlfriends, it's Lily.

If a male star and an actress ride in the same car, it is not a relationship, but an unspoken rule.

From this, you can see what the tone of this magazine is.

This paparazzi's name is Hu Yaoqiang, his pen name is Hu Yidao, and he is nicknamed Tiger Jumping Over the Wall.

The paparazzi who can't jump off the wall are definitely not good paparazzi!

What is especially valuable is that this gentleman's eyes are like torches occasionally, and he can always have a flash of inspiration and dig up the best materials in the industry. Recently, he really discovered a big gold mine that has not been noticed by more people for the time being, which is the movie "Five Poison Gates" that has just been screened.

This movie has a high rating on the god list, and it has always been high.

Curious, he also went to see the movie and contributed to the box office once.

However, he felt that the ticket money was really not spent in vain, and he could be reimbursed when he went back anyway, but the film was indeed worth the ticket price, and the play was extremely exciting, which was the only thing he had seen in his life. Judging from the pair of discerning eyes he has cultivated as a paparazzi for many years, this movie will definitely become popular, how can you not dig deeper!

Hu Yidao does have some insight.

Naturally, he carefully read some of the best movie reviews on the Internet, as well as the reports of some second- and third-tier newspapers and magazines.

But he didn't give a damn about the usual reports.

These peers are so stupid that they can't grasp the point of the report at all!

What's the point of reporting on those things? How many readers would like to read it?

Even if you report that the film is hot and exciting, even if it is true, I admit it, but everyone reports it like this, it is too vulgar! How can you highlight your unusual vision, otherworldly perspective, and extraordinary highlights?

You should report more *** things!

Entertainment reporting must be a little more in-depth!

Have you all learned the principle of "nine shallow and one deep" reporting? If there is no "one deep", what is the use of "nine shallows"? Isn't that all useless work? It's a waste of ...... Spirits!

Let me teach you how to report this "one deep"!

For example: brother and sister are in love! Is it a virgin complex, or is it German orthopedics? The dark status quo of adoptive families! What is the value of adoption expenses? Why is the mind of a genius screenwriter so dark? Is it affected by family factors? Or is it a natural social pathology? Is a genius screenwriter a real genius, or is someone ghostwriting and someone hype? Who is standing behind him?

You haven't reported any of this, so what kind of prostitute is that? Do you really think you're great? Since you're all so stupid and don't know how to dig deep into good material and report truthfully, then don't blame my buddy for taking the lead and getting the first step.

In fact, what is it that others don't report, everyone has received money, how can it be reported indiscriminately? Isn't that incompatible with money?

Hu Yidao confiscated the money, so naturally he could report it as much as he wanted.

With their usual virtues, it is impossible for the East to invite them!

After some careful investigations and secret interviews recently, Hu Yidao gave full play to his strong paparazzi attributes, but really found some valuable news clues, and has been staying here at Tsinghua High School.

As a professional paparazzi, he still has a strong work ethic.

He definitely won't sneakily enter the school to investigate and interview, but he can't be arrested by the campus security guards as bad guys, and it will be troublesome to directly turn it over to the police station for justice, which is really embarrassing. This is Tsinghua High School, the cradle of high-achieving students, people's campus security guards are very awesome, basically they are professional soldiers who have retired from the army, the precautions are very strict, it is easy to catch dogs, and it is not too easy to catch a paparazzi! And if you are caught, they will be directly sent to the police station without discussion! There is a police station near the school. He is known as "Tiger Jumping Over the Wall", but he can't afford to lose that person!

In the hands of these veteran-turned-security guards, it's useless for him to jump over the wall! Can there be that chance?

So he just squatted around outside, hoping to find out.

Unexpectedly, he really ran into it today.

Don't look at him as if he is casual on the surface, in fact, he is excited in his heart!

He has read some of other people's reports and knows that Zhou Yi and the girls around him are brother and sister on the surface, but they don't have the same surname, he is an adopted child.

So before he was adopted, what was his origin and what was his origin?

Why don't these insiders report it? Brother and sister love is not reported, the dark status quo of the adoptive family is not reported, the ghostwriting door is not reported, and even the origin of other people is not reported, do you still have a little professionalism? Is that what you guys do the paparazzi...... Journalists?

At this amateur level, I really don't know how they got out of the mix?

This is simply not worthy of giving him a knife and lifting shoes!

It's because people are mixed up that people won't report like this!

You have to take care of the weight!

But Hu Yidao obviously doesn't think so. In this regard, you must dig deep and dig hard! But how do you dig it? If you go directly to the interview, can that person sue you? That's a **! If anything, didn't the other reporters report it earlier?

It turns out that he is not stupid and can still think of this.

Since other reporters don't report it, obviously these inside stories are **, and they can't be reported, so they can't be asked directly.

Even if you go to someone's house and interview their parents, you probably won't be able to ask anything. If you ask how dark the adoptive family is, maybe it will be directly hit out by the parents, which is not good. What else is there to say? It must be so!

So what to do?

Hu Yidao suddenly had an idea and thought of a good idea.

He is a native of Yanjing, and he has a small hair, and now he is a police officer in a nearby police station, and he seems to have been promoted to section chief recently. Why don't you ask him to check the family's civil files and household registration files, and see the relevant adoption materials, then wouldn't they all be there? Ha ha! It's so simple. How could other journalists not think of it? As for the content of the report, let's start with the personal relationship between the brother and sister. This is a cold drink shop, is it written that the brother and sister lick an ice cream together, or that the younger sister helps the brother lick the ice cream? Or is it an older brother licking his sister's ice cream?

It's easy to provoke people's reverie! Is it good to write like this?

Ah! Seems a little disgusting! Forget it, who cares about that! Haven't you all done it?

Although I didn't see it, it's a conjecture, guess do you understand? Do you want to break the law?

How does that saying come from? Those who are pure only become holy when they read it, and those who are turbid see it and think it is lewd!

The vast number of **** people have that kind of thought, which means that you are very dirty and turbid, how can you blame me?

Ha ha! I'm so smart! How could other journalists not think of it?

In fact, he thought too simply!

This is really not to die, not to die, it is completely unlucky!

If Zhou Yi and Tang Yan knew that he was going to do this, it would be really disgusting and disgusting, and it is estimated that he would have slapped his heart to death!

After eating cold drinks, everyone continued to go back to school for self-study, not noticing that there was a dirty little person hiding nearby.

Next, Zhou Yi reviewed at school with peace of mind.

But tomorrow is Friday, and the film is about to enter the last three days of the first week.

The three-day weekend box office will be officially counted in the Chinese weekend box office rankings.

This is the same way Hollywood's North American box office charts are calculated.

Whether you can counterattack the box office list on the weekend depends on these three days!
