Chapter 80: Nationwide Release
With all schools in the country on holiday in just a few days, the battle for the box office in China has officially kicked off.
On July 10, after the joint operation of Red Leaf Entertainment and Shanghua University, a press conference was held, which is scheduled to premiere at the Nangong Cinema in Nanhua City on July 12, at 10 a.m., and 7,500 theaters across the country will be screened at the same time.
Although I knew that the competition was fierce this month, with the efforts of both parties, I still set the time at this time. There are as many as four films released on the same day alone, not counting the six films that have just been released before, in addition, before July 20, at least ten films will be released in these eight days. By the time the Whirlwind Kid was drawn, the maximum number of movies released would be close to twenty-four.
Ye Zhiqiu had a headache, fortunately, there are nearly 60,000 theaters across the country, and some theaters are not far apart, so that every six films can occupy one theater, although the size of the theater is different. But it's guaranteed to be screened once a day during the day and at night or at midnight.
This is the current situation in Huaguo today, and Ye Zhiqiu does not expect a small production to achieve much success. I only hope that this whirlwind kid can have a good reputation and continue to maintain it. Compared with the previous more than 2,000 theaters to the current more than 7,500 theaters, Ye Zhiqiu's progress can be described as extremely fast.
Similarly, while Ye Zhiqiu has achieved himself, he has also brought great benefits to Red Leaf Entertainment.
According to the rules of the entertainment association, each entertainment group will apply for the corresponding theater according to various factors such as market share, as well as the growth of the corresponding box office. If you apply for Momiji Entertainment alone, you can apply for up to 6,000 theaters. But it involved the guarantee of Shanghua College, as well as some other relationships, so Hongye Entertainment finally unexpectedly applied for 7,500 theaters.
If the Whirlwind Kid can become an instant hit and surpass the box office of the first two films, then according to this upward momentum, Ye Zhiqiu's next film can apply for such a number of 7,000 theaters. Of course, this does not mean that other directors of Red Leaf Entertainment will be able to continue this number of theaters.
According to the rules and regulations of the Entertainment Guild, while Red Leaf Entertainment is upgrading its level, it can vouch for its director, if the box office results are good, then the director is really standing, and he can apply for the corresponding number of theaters in the future.
This is unfair to most directors, if there is no entertainment group to vouch for itself, then countless directors can only struggle step by step, step by step.
With the help of 'My Savage Girlfriend', Ye Zhiqiu has successively increased from more than 2,000 theaters to five or six thousand, and this time with the guarantee of Shanghua School, it barely reached 7,500, which is already the limit of Ye Zhiqiu's fame ability.
is different from Ye Zhiqiu, such as Wu Kun and Qiankun Film and Television, which can be released in tens of thousands of theaters at the same time, but it occupies an innate advantage, and it is guaranteed by Tianyu Entertainment, the country's top entertainment group. forced Wu Kun out, although the box office results were not very good, but with the means of Tianyu, it was still possible to preserve the capital on the surface. In this way, although Wu Kun may not be able to apply for so many theaters in the future, because of such a high start, the number of theaters released this time is still more than that of Hongye Entertainment, reaching more than 10,000, which is still more than a few thousand higher than Ye Zhiqiu.
Don't underestimate the number of 3,000, if the film is of high quality, it will have an unimaginable amount of money at the box office in twenty days of release.
This is why there are top-notch, first-class, and second- and third-rate divisions among directors, which is completely in stark contrast to their own fame and the number of theaters released.
For example, international directors, usually a film, at least 80% of the world's theaters at the time of release, what is the concept? If there are 500,000 theaters in the world, 80 percent is 400,000, even if each theater only shows twice a day, it is extremely easy for the box office to reach 5 billion for a month, and 8 billion or 10 billion is not an unattainable goal.
If Ye Zhiqiu wants to position himself now, then he can only be regarded as having just stepped into the ranks of second-rate directors and has broken away from the third-rate. When the number of theaters exceeds 30,000, it can be regarded as a preliminary entry into the first-class director industry, if it exceeds 50,000, then in China, it can be regarded as a top director. Of course, this is only for China.
On July 11, one of the two films of Qiankun Film and Television, the "Love Chasing Team" light comedy film, had its national premiere in Nanhua City.
On July 12, another film of Qiankun Film and Television, the 'Blue Cat' romantic comedy, also had its national premiere in Nanhua City.
At the premiere ceremony, when asked by a media reporter what he thought of the two films of his senior brother Wu Kun and Du Xingcheng in the same school, Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said that he had not seen it, and he would definitely watch it when he was free.
As far as Ye Zhiqiu is concerned, his ability is so great for the time being, even if Wu Kun has the ability to snipe himself, as long as he doesn't let his film be released, it's not a thing. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu looks at Wu Kun like a clown who jumps off the beam, he can toss as much as he likes, and there is always a time when he can't move.
It would be impossible to say that Wu Kun didn't understand this, but Wu Kun couldn't get out, as if Ye Zhiqiu had become an incomparably huge demonic barrier in his heart. He has to compare with Ye Zhiqiu all the time, it doesn't seem to matter who he is doing it for, at this moment he must just be trying to surpass Ye Zhiqiu and tell everyone with huge achievements that he is better than Ye Zhiqiu.
However, Ye Zhiqiu didn't care, he couldn't finish his work, he knew that he was in the accumulation stage, and he had to improve himself quickly, otherwise after this time period, no one could say what would happen in the future.
In the Nangong Cinema, the host interviewed: "Director Ye, this is your third film, and it is also a small production of less than 10 million, have you ever considered shooting some big productions to make everyone enjoy." ”
Ye Zhiqiu said bluntly to everyone: "I am still just a student, I am in the growth stage, at the moment I can only hone myself with small productions, and at the same time make rapid progress but also lay a solid foundation for the future, believe me, after leaving the campus, I will gradually bring more wonderful movies to everyone." ”
On the other side, the male host interviewed Xuan Xuan and said: "May I ask Xuan Xuan, when Director Ye said before that he intended to make you a jade girl of Red Leaf Entertainment, I don't know what you think of the identity of this jade girl." ”
Xuan Xuan said with a smile: "Sister Qin Yan was created by Director Ye, and the performances of Sister Qin Yan in those two movies are very amazing, first called a savage woman by everyone, and now called the most innocent woman, Sister Qin Yan told us with her performance that she is an artist, and she will not be framed by any frame." Since Sister Qin Yan can, I also have to learn from Sister Qin Yan, I can be a jade girl, a barbaric woman, or other types of women, I don't think any actress would want to be called a vase by people......"
In the face of the audience's applause, the host interviewed the two supporting characters in the play, as well as other people. In the end, Ye Zhiqiu was frantically forced by a group of fans and fans to send a song from the Whirlwind Kid, and the Whirlwind Kid was officially screened so far.
