Chapter 058 - Brush Out Box Office?
On December 10, after the hype of "Yin and Yang Wrong", it was released in the Golden Princess Theater. As the first film after the reorganization of Princess Jin, "Yin and Yang Wrong" not only has the opportunity to be screened on all lines, but the audience is still very much looking forward to the content of this movie.
After all, a newly established cinema chain, no matter what its background is, will never shoot its own signboard at the beginning, so the quality of the film must be the best in the same period.
However, now Ye Jingcheng, because of the negative emotions brought by the two beauties, he is not the happiest.
This happiest person is Huang Jing, especially when he knew that he was thinking too much, he resolutely ignored Huang Tianlin's instructions and went straight to the premiere ceremony of "Yin and Yang Wrong" to cheer.
Huang Tianlin learned of Ye Jingcheng's approach, although he verbally condemned him for being unkind. In fact, for this matter, I am afraid that I am in favor of it, after all, the box office of "Yin and Yang Wrong" has 20% of their Huang family.
Probably because of the problem of theater price increases, although the publicity work in the early stage of "Yin and Yang Wrong" was sufficient, the attendance rate on the first day was only seventy and a half.
With the three leading theaters of the Golden Princess Cinema Line and twelve small and medium-sized theaters, the total number of seats is about 16,000, and "Yin and Yang Wrong" is based on ten screenings per day. The movie ticket has risen from the original seven yuan to eight and a half yuan, and the box office on the first day should be around one million.
Once this number is counted, it will definitely cause an uproar from the outside world. You must know that many films have been released for half a month, and they may not have this number.
Of course, just because the box office on the first day is so high doesn't mean it's going to skyrocket all the way up. It is also possible that the audience was simply attracted by the publicity, only to find out after watching it that it was just a movie that no one else had, and the result was a sharp drop in the box office the next day.
A good film also needs a good schedule and resources to play. But a bad movie, no matter how good the schedule and resources are, it will not help.
Three days later.
Because the box office data of "Yin and Yang Wrong" is too large, in order to avoid mistakes in the process, Lei Juekun instructed his subordinates to compare again and again, and the box office on the first day has not been announced to the public.
Not only is Princess Jin collecting the box office data of "Yin and Yang Wrong", but Fang Yihua, who is extremely 'concerned' about Ye Jingcheng, also instructed his subordinates to collect first-hand data.
Since Fang Yihua stepped into the business circle, when has he suffered a loss? Not to mention two times in a row.
Last time, she called a group of old boys to grab the film, but she didn't expect that after the fact, the other party actually sat on the ground and asked her for 300,000 yuan, and she really capsized in the gutter this time.
And if you don't give this money, you can't do it, not to mention that the other party will take things out, the value of this film alone is more than this amount.
If this matter is not handled well, it will have a great impact on both her personally and Shaw Brothers. In the end, she agreed to the other party's request, but unfortunately this matter came one after another.
To say that this group of old boys is only hateful at most, Ye Jingcheng, this bastard boy, is definitely hateful. After this film arrived in Fang Yihua's hand, she knew that it was a scam at all.
Film is indeed film, but it has nothing to do with "Yin and Yang Wrong". It's a blank piece of film, and it's close to scrapping.
Fang Yihua vetoed the possibility of the old boy doing something on it, first, they didn't know the true value of the film, and second, if they wanted to do this, there was no need to negotiate with her.
Moreover, this group of old boys is cunning, but their thinking is still a little worse. In addition to this group of old boys, there is only one person who can do tricks, and that person is naturally Ye Jingcheng.
Because of this incident, the angry Fang Yihua almost went to the hospital. Every time she thinks of that bastard boy, she gritted her teeth, eager to peel Ye Jingcheng and eat meat.
Knock and smack-
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.
"Manager Fang, can I come in?" The secretary's voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Fang Yihua put away his emotions, waited until the secretary walked in, and asked with some urgency: "Is the statistics of "Yin and Yang Wrong" out?" ”
As Fang Yihua's secretary, she knows the truth of the matter somewhat. Now that the box office data of "Yin and Yang Wrong" in recent days has been obtained, the problem is that she doesn't know how to report to Fang Yihua. The secretary had to say vaguely: "I have already fed back, and the box office is 1.5 million." ”
"One and a half million?" Fang Yihua's frowning brows were stretched.
"With this result in three days, this Ye Jingcheng still has some ability." After speaking, Fang Yihua didn't forget to mock and said, "But the cowhide is too big." With the current momentum, even if the film is screened for a month, I think the box office will only be six or seven million at most. ”
Although these words were a mockery of Ye Jingcheng, they were full of sourness, and this result was already very good.
"Manager Fang, actually..."The secretary wanted to explain, but was afraid that Fang Yihua would use her as a punching bag.
"If you have something to say, don't talk about it." Fang Yihua couldn't breathe this breath anymore.
For no other reason, the box office of this film was not as good as expected. But with a result of six or seven million, it has firmly ranked as the annual box office champion. Monetary gains aside, Ye Jingcheng and his company are definitely famous.
"Actually... One and a half million was only the box office on the first day, and now the total box office on the three days has exceeded four million. The secretary shrank like a quail, and she knew that Fang Yihua would definitely go on a rampage next.
This result was not even expected by Ye Jingcheng, originally there was only seventy and a half percent attendance in the first few games, but he didn't expect more and more people to enter the theater later, and the attendance rate was also rising.
"What!" Fang Yihua's eyes widened angrily, obviously unwilling to accept the reality, and said, "Impossible! Is it a statistical error? ”
"I also asked the staff about it, and it took two more days to investigate it. "Yin and Yang Wrong" is released twelve times a day, and the attendance rate of each show is more than eighty percent. At the end, he added: "There must be data discrepancies, but the fluctuation will not be too large." ”
……
……
……
"I see, you go out first." Fang Yihua sat down again.
The secretary was slightly stunned, Fang Yihua's actions were unexpected. I thought that when the other party heard the news, he would definitely use her as a punching bag. Unexpectedly, Fang Yihua not only did not do this, but also showed a little loss.
After Fang Yihua dismissed the secretary, she sat on the chair and thought quietly.
After a long time, her fighting spirit was aroused again, and she came to such a conclusion: "Lei Juekun, an old fox, really does everything for the box office, and even does such a thing as brushing the box office." ”
In addition to Fang Yihua of Shaw Brothers, there are also several leaders of Golden Harvest who also fell into this thinking.
"Statistical error? Or brush the box office. Zou Wenhuai looked at the counting ticket in his hand, and didn't think that there was something wrong with his eyes, so he asked the person in front of him who looked a little similar to him, hoping that he could explain in detail what it was like.
The person standing in front of Zou Wenhuai is called Zou Dingou, and he knows that there is a great relationship between the two when he hears the name.
To be precise, Zou Dingou is Zou Wenhuai's younger brother, and now serves as the general manager of Golden Harvest Entertainment Co., Ltd., and his job is to report all the work to Zou Wenhuai and other directors.
"I don't think so." Zou Dingou analyzed with his own opinion and said: "Lei Juekun has the heart to get involved in the film industry, and he will definitely not let the opponent catch a sore foot at the beginning." ”
After a pause, Zou Dingou said: "And behind the scenes of this play, the eldest brother should still have an impression." ”
"Who is it?" Zou Wenhuai was even more puzzled in his heart, but his interest was obviously raised.
"Big brother, do you remember "Crazy Robbery" that was released in our theaters last month?" Zou Dingou reminded.
"Remember, I was originally quite optimistic about this film. It's a pity that Shaw Brothers released a "Human Meat Roast Shop", and it didn't take long to steal its limelight. Wrinkle Bad seemed to think of something, and asked, "Are you trying to say that there is some relationship between these two films?" ”
"As Big Brother said." Zou Dingou nodded and said, "These two films are related. are all invested by the same person, produced by the same person, and written by the same person, and this person's name is Ye Jingcheng. ”
"Ye Jingcheng?" Wrinkle muttered several times, intending to write down the name.
As for why the other party left the Shaw Brothers, and then chose to cooperate with Princess Jin. Even if Zou Dingou is silent, Zou Wenhuai also has his own opinions.
As a person who has come over, Zou Wenhuai is very clear about the curves of the Shaw Brothers, if Ye Jingcheng really has the ability, it is only a matter of time before he leaves the Shaw Brothers. It's just why did the other party choose the newly formed Golden Princess Cinema instead of choosing to defect to the cinema line under Golden Harvest?
"Big brother, I think the other party values opportunities more." Regarding Zou Dingou's idea, Zou Wenhuai also nodded in agreement.
Golden Harvest has now become the overlord of the film industry, and there is no shortage of satellite companies under it. If Ye Jingcheng joins it, if he wants to fight for more resources or even a good schedule, the difficulty is not half a star.
On the contrary, although Golden Princess is a newly formed theater chain, it does not have too many satellite companies. Ye Jingcheng joins it, and the resources he gets are relatively more, and it is not so difficult to fight for a good schedule.
There is another point, even if Princess Jin can't do it in the future, as long as Ye Jingcheng will make a name for himself during the period, he is afraid that no one will hand him an olive branch at that time? No matter what the result is, it is more realistic than him rashly going to a large company.
"Alas, alas."
Getting this conclusion, Zou Wen sighed heartily, large companies also have disadvantages of large companies. Princess Jin is still second to get a talent, and she is most afraid that Lei Juekun will use this person to gain a firm foothold, and there will be an extra predator to compete for food in the future.
The fable of the three monks, Zou Wenhuai already knew it when he wore open crotch pants.
At the beginning, a monk of the Shaw Brothers carried water to drink, and later after he established Jiahe, he became two monks carrying water to drink. If there is one more golden princess, will the end become three monks without water to drink?
