Chapter 228: Public Opinion
The next day, it was still dark.
"Have you got the box office statistics for "Why Have Me"?" In a printing room where the noisy sound of a machine could be heard, an editor-in-chief asked the reporters around him.
"Not yet, it seems that Green Lantern Entertainment has done a good job, but the price of that 'needle' must be raised, otherwise the news will be sold to other newspapers." The reporter said.
"This dead beggar, add another 500 yuan to him, and if he is willing to come, forget it." The editor-in-chief looked bored.
"I see." The reporter said: "Editor-in-chief, in fact, this information is not a secret, we don't need to spend this kind of unjust money, we can find someone to ask." β
The editor-in-chief threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and stomped on it with his foot and said, "I don't care what you do, anyway, I will see the number before half past six, and the newspaper is still waiting to be used on today's front page." β
"Okay, I'll do it right now."

The box office of "Why Me" on the first day was quickly published in the newspaper. In addition to Ye Jingcheng's "Xin Pao", "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily", and "Ming Pao" are also eight immortals who cross the sea, and they get this number by their own means.
And the box office of "Why Me" fell into the hands of these people, and the first thought was that this was impossible, right? After re-confirmation, this number was confirmed. The box office of this film on the first day was only more than 497,000, not even 500,000?
My God, although the box office of the last "Jackie Chan" was only more than 600,000 on the first day, at that time, the Nanguo Cinema Line had just been established, and many viewers did not realize that the dilapidated theaters they passed by on weekdays had already been merged into the Nanguo Cinema Line and reorganized.
It was also learned from the release of "Wangfu Jackie Chan", and later serial publicity and advertising, and as its fame slowly spread, the box office of "Wangfu Jackie Chan" also gradually increased, and the attendance rate skyrocketed, and the theater chain added more screenings, with the highest one-day box office reaching 1.2 million.
But now, "Why Have Me" has eight films scheduled every day, and there are only 500,000 of them? Even if "Why Have Me" is the same as "Jackie Chan", the box office will continue to grow with the process, but the total box office can't exceed 10 million, right?
So, Ye Jingcheng really made a mistake this time?
"The milestone of 10 million producers is coming to an end!? γ
"Prodigy Ye is no longer a child? The quality of the film began to deteriorate. γ
"It is reported that Ye Jingcheng's mind has never been on the movie, but on the ...... Broken ......
β¦β¦
This number of first-day box office jΓΉ was quickly published by major media with pictures and truths.
Some people who usually have enmity with Ye Jingcheng, such as Shao Yifu and Zou Wenhuai, are naturally happy to see it. Originally, they also planned to jointly release it to suppress the southern theater chain, but now it seems that there is no need for this. And some people who originally had the intention of taking refuge also stayed in place and hesitated.
For a while, Ye Jingcheng became a hot topic in the city, and some citizens could be seen on various streets holding newspapers about him and starting to gossip, such as how much box office do you guess this film can have? Could it be that Ye Jingcheng is really not good?
But have they ever thought that if the box office of "Why Have Me" does not reach 10 million, Ye Jingcheng must be a loss? The investment in this movie is less than 700,000, and even if there is only a box office of 5 million, Ye Jingcheng has 3 million yuan.
What's more, the income from this movie is still secondary, and these people who are like the clouds don't necessarily know much about the true meaning of this film. Waiting until it condenses the power of public opinion is Ye Jingcheng's greatest benefit.
People are so strange that once they get used to something, they take it for granted. Take A and B as an example, A doesn't like to eat eggs on weekdays, so every time he eats, he will give eggs to B.
Until one day, A meets a new friend, C. A gives the egg to C to eat. At this time, B jumped out and yelled, "How can you give him the eggs to eat!" "It's as if the egg belonged to him in the first place.
But he didn't realize that this egg was originally A's, could it be that A gave his own things to others, and he still needed to ask his opinion?
Now Ye Jingcheng is playing this A, if it is another producer, let alone a box office of more than 10 million, or a box office of three or five million, it is enough to be hyped by the media to raise this person's identity.
But among today's movies with a general box office of one million, Ye Jingcheng's works do not exceed 10 million! Even if he gets 9.99 million in the end, the media and the outside world will not praise him, but will only feel that his ability has begun to resurge.
Who made him almost be held up to the god position by the puzzle recently, and Li Ying, who guided this matter, immediately called IDD to report to Ye Jingcheng.
It's just that Ye Jingcheng's reply really made him a little speechless, just a few words of "um", "oh", "got it", as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
It's really not Ye Jingcheng's turn to worry about this matter, although there are some things that he didn't expect, but he is still confident in the impact that the film "Why Have Me" can bring.
Sure enough, it didn't take a few days. "Why Me" once again caused a wave of public opinion, especially those social workers and volunteers who silently contributed to the society.
Although they are not exposed to exactly the same, there are quite a few similar things. So when they watched the whole film, they all cried with empathy.
In addition, some district councillors who are trying to be elected or rise to power have taken advantage of the limelight of "Why Me" to put up banners such as "Care for Society", "Love for All" and "Care for the Disabled", and then canvass for votes in various neighborhoods.
Not to mention, the effect is still very significant. had to ask them to send Ye Jingcheng a good person card, so he almost wrote a thank you letter and delivered it to the door.
And "Why Have Me" also ushered in a round of eruption rise at the box office. Although judging from the current situation, it is still impossible for the box office to exceed 10 million.
But one thing is undeniable, the film was a success. The news that Ye Jingcheng's ability has resurged, is now being scraped to death.
It's not that Ye Jingcheng's ability has begun to resurge, but that his overall level has been sublimated. Now Ye Jingcheng is no longer shooting movies that can only sell out, but can also shoot movies that resonate with society. The fame that this kind of film helped him get is far more important than the millions.
Until now, which media dare to say that Ye Jingcheng is a failure? Money is at most only to improve a person's status, but reputation is the key to a person's social status.
Having an identity does not necessarily have a status, and having a status definitely has an identity. Ye Jingcheng gave up part of his interests in exchange for the opportunity to consolidate his social status, which is the smartest thing to do. (To be continued.) )
