Chapter 125 Box Office
Ye Zhiqiu took the movie box office record sheet and looked at it carefully.
This world is different from the earth, because everyone is entertained, so the ticket price is less than 10 yuan, and the midnight show is only 8 yuan. So far, the largest theater he has seen has only 4,000 people, and the smallest theater in China has 200 people, and the number of such small theaters is extremely large, accounting for almost 50% or even more.
What is this concept, if it were placed on Earth, I am afraid that these small theaters would have been closed a long time ago, but here it is normal, and there are constantly rotating various films every day, and there are few interruptions.
If you want Ye Zhiqiu to describe one thing, Ye Zhiqiu will first think of the lottery site. Cinema has gained popularity here, so it doesn't get any more normal than that.
Ye Zhiqiu calculated that there are 32 first-tier cities in the country, together with hundreds of second-tier cities and thousands of third-tier cities, so on average, the average seat of more than 50,000 theaters is more than 350, this concept simply makes Ye Zhiqiu feel ridiculous.
That's not all, almost every day there are new movies released, and the movies in front have to make way for the movies that will be released later. As a result, the rotation time of a movie varies from day to day.
Some of these films may be screened at a certain time period of the day for a long time due to the relationship between the director and the major entertainment groups. This makes other films have a situation where the showtimes of yesterday, today, tomorrow, and even every day are constantly changing. Sometimes today is the morning session, tomorrow is the afternoon session, and the day after tomorrow is the midnight session.
To put it well during the day, the ticket price is fixed at ten yuan, and the ticket price for the midnight show has to be discounted by eight, so that even if Ye Zhiqiu's singing and dancing youth won 10,000 theaters to be released, he only earned 400 million in the past 25 days, of course, this is already very good for anyone.
Compared with some movies that were painted early and no one cared about, 400 million is already an astronomical amount.
Of course, Ye Zhiqiu also understands, after all, time and space are different, so many movies have to be released every month, and the audience is free to watch which one. Because of this, the price of ten yuan is for all movies. Whether it is a big production with an investment of one billion or a small production with an investment of five million, it is at this price, but the number of theaters screened is different.
According to the theater release rules in China and even the world, even if a big-name director has such huge achievements and reputation, if he wants to release a small-budget movie at the same time in tens of thousands of theaters with his own fame, and do opportunistic things to make huge profits, it is absolutely impossible.
Take Ye Zhiqiu himself as an example, Ye Zhiqiu's first My Savage Girlfriend is very economical and there are no famous actors to join, so the investment can be won within five million, whether it is from the perspective of a rookie director or the amount of investment, Ye Zhiqiu's application for theaters can only reach a maximum of 2,000, as a rookie director, it is impossible to apply for more theaters at once, but with the popularity of the box office, it can be increased to the number of upper limit theaters, that is, the limit of five million, which can reach 4,000 theaters. This number is already considered the limit, even if any big director comes, the production of five million is only this number, and it is impossible to get any more promotion, this is a hard surname rule and standard.
That is to say, no matter what director makes, if the film he shoots is really good and popular, each level of investment has a corresponding minimum and maximum value, which is the standard used by all countries in the world, and everyone can eat it when they go there. However, the exception is for films released in foreign countries, because it depends on the protection policies of other countries for local films, as well as various policies that benefit domestic filmmakers, so there are relatively different treatments.
Such a policy is undoubtedly fair to any filmmaker, as for whether the entertainment guild will raise the production fraud of 5 million to 10 million, or even higher, so as to apply for more theaters, this kind of thing may exist, but it is just an internal black-box transaction.
But even if it is faked again, after a film is released, everyone knows what kind of scene it is, and even if it is fake, it can't do much, so everything is extremely clear and formal in this world.
Although the number of theaters continued to grow in the future, it did not exceed the fixed number of theaters, so there were no problems.
For Ye Zhiqiu, all this is relatively normal, whether it is ten yuan during the day or eight yuan at midnight.
If the ticket price is 20 yuan and one game is played at a fixed time every day, let alone 10,000 theaters, that is, 5,000 theaters will have a box office income of 1.2 billion yuan in a month, what kind of concept is this, expanding to 10,000, that is more than 2 billion. What a staggering number if more than 50,000 theaters were released at the same time.
In the previous life, the ticket price of a movie was less than thirty or forty, and the discount was more than twenty, and several shows a day were played in turn, which did not exist here at all.
This is also the world's only good reputation of the movie, can easily box office hundreds of millions, even billions, or even tens of billions, so calculated, if the midnight show is full every day, a movie lasts for 30 days, with an average of 400 seats, 50,000 theaters, and 9 yuan ticket prices, it will be 5.4 billion in a month.
The number of 400 million is about the same as 40 million on earth, and there is nothing to be happy about at all.
However, the heavy 400 million, if it is placed in front of you, I am afraid it will also make people's hearts surging and their hearts congested.
Compared with the previous film, Whirlwind Kid, the number of 7,500 theaters is only 128 million. With the number of 10,000 theaters, this song and dance youth won 400 million, and it was only released for 25 days, which is extremely terrifying for anyone.
It is enough to see that the popularity of singing and dancing youth, I am afraid that even the midnight show can be filled by more than half, otherwise such excellent results would not have been achieved.
The time has entered December, and the second shooting of Singing and Dancing Youth has entered a good situation, and Ye Zhiqiu has become more and more comfortable shooting, and he is completely able to control all the situations encountered. Ye Zhiqiu knew that he had made great progress, and now that he was more than half a year away from graduation, Ye Zhiqiu knew that it was time to start preparing to set up a studio after the year.
