Because there were important things to do the next day, Chen Shaoyi did not send Zhou Huimin and Wu Junru home, but took them to his villa, and naturally Mi Xue also stayed.

After eating the feast made by Mi Xue, everyone was tired for a day and didn't want to go out again, so Chen Shaoyi had to drive to Xu's Brothers Company alone.

"Hello Mr. Chen!"

Chen Shaoyi came to the Xu Brothers company many times during the filming of "Modern Bodyguard", and many employees of the company knew Chen Shaoyi, and greeted him when they saw him.

Today is the first day of the official screening of "Modern Bodyguard", and they know that Chen Shaoyi must have come to discuss this issue with Xu Guanwen, and some familiar employees will lead Chen Shaoyi.

After a while, Chen Shaoyi came to Xu Guanwen's office under the guidance of the staff.

At this time, in Xu Guanwen's office, not only Xu Guanwen was there, but all the four heroes of the Xu family were present except for Xu Guanwu, and after Chen Shaoyi came in, they all set their eyes on Chen Shaoyi.

"Pick, you kid, you still know to come back and see, you tell me where you ran that day." Chen Shaoyi's iron buddy Xu Guanjie was the first to mutter loudly to Chen Shaoyi.

Chen Shaoyi indecently dug out his ear holes, "Brother Jie, be quiet, I was almost deaf by you." ”

"It's best to be deaf, it's worry-free."

"Brother Jie, you're too unrighteous."

"Righteous anger? Righteousness is that you go to pick up girls, and I'm squatting here at the box office, or we will change it one day. "Xu Guanjie didn't have a good air.

"Ahem." What else could Chen Shaoyi say, he could only laugh dryly.

"Haha, Shaoyi, you deserve it, but your kid is not very charming, and you really took down the 'behind-the-scenes' of our lovers, high, really high. I also introduced one to my brother that day. Xu Guanying hooked Chen Shaoyi's neck and laughed strangely.

Chen Shaoyi shook off Xu Guanying's arm, "Brother Ying, do you want to get married." ”

"How is it possible, brother, I have been among thousands of flowers, how can I give up like this when a leaf does not touch the supreme realm."

"Brother Ying, have you ever heard of a sentence?" Chen Shaoyi asked with a very serious appearance.

"What?"

"All relationships between men and women that are not aimed at marriage are hooliganism."

After listening to Chen Shaoyi's words, the Xu brothers were stunned for a moment, and then laughed wildly, even Xu Guanwen, who was usually more stable, couldn't stop laughing, and Xu Guanjie was even more laughing and leaning back and straightening his waist.

"Three...... Brother, you ...... Target...... All...... Behavior...... All...... Be...... Hooligans. Xu Guanjie said intermittently.

Xu Guanying herself laughed, and she couldn't imagine that Chen Shaoyi could say such classic words.

After a long time, Xu Guanying's laughing hole was gradually unraveled, "Shaoyi, according to what you say, the entertainment industry is a group of hooligan guys." ”

"Third brother, don't kill everyone with a stick, I'm not the kind of person you said." Hearing Xu Guanying say this, the good man Xu Guanjie was not happy.

"But according to that, Shao Yi, are you yourself playing hooligan?" Xu Guanjie thought of Chen Shaoyi's matter and asked.

"Brother Jie, don't talk nonsense, Sister Ling and I are still innocent."

"Innocent ghost, if you are innocent, wouldn't my Chu Liuxiang be Hui Liushita."

"Forget it, I don't have anything to say to you scoundrels, I can't challenge your yellow brains with my white brains." Chen Shaoyi said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, praise you."

"Go, play us like three-year-olds, doesn't that mean we have yellow YD thoughts in our heads? You're no better. ”

Well, that's how it works.

"Well, let's not talk about that. Shaoyi, you came here to check the box office of "Modern Bodyguard"! Xu Guanwen interrupted everyone's conversation at this time and got down to business.

When it comes to business, everyone is serious, after all, this is a matter related to everyone's net worth interests.

Chen Shaoyi said: "Yes, Brother Wen, I just came to learn about the box office." ”

Xu Guanwen said with a smile: "Golden Harvest Cinemas currently has more than 50 theaters in Hong Kong, and almost all of them are showing our "Modern Bodyguard", with three to five screenings a day. Especially the previous week, the prime time of the theater at night was given to us from six to ten o'clock, and Golden Harvest valued our "Modern Bodyguard" very much. ”

"Haha, that's also the credit of Brother Wen, if there is no Brother Wen, how could Jiahe be so generous." Chen Shaoyi laughed.

Chen Shaoyi's words are sincere, one prime-time screening is worth two or three during the day. Generally, a movie that can be allocated to a prime-time movie is about to snicker, but "Modern Bodyguard" can be screened twice in a row, which is simply robbing money, and robbing the bank is not so fast. Not to mention this, I also know that it is the result of Xu Guanwen's negotiations with Jiahe, it seems that the choice to cooperate with Xu Guanwen is absolutely correct, if he does not give Xu Guanwen a share of the box office benefits, how can he work so hard.

"Haha, Shaoyi, don't say that, the most important thing is the excellence of the script of "Modern Bodyguard", and Golden Harvest has not had any blockbuster screenings recently, so the good shows have been given to us "Modern Bodyguard". Xu Guanwen said with a smile.

"Brother Wen, don't talk about this, how is the situation during the day today?"

Xu Guanwen was afraid that Chen Shaoyi would not understand, so he said in detail: "During the day, because the audience has to go to work and school, the attendance rate of the general theater during the day is only about three to sixty percent, and our "Modern Bodyguard" actually reached seven or eighty percent of the attendance rate during the day, which is comparable to the attendance rate of the theater at night. ”

As mentioned before, when sharing the box office with the producers, the theater chain accounted for the lion's share, and it seems that the theater chain gets so much money for nothing, which seems to be a little unfair. In fact, the investment cost of a theater is very high, equipment maintenance, personnel expenses, and high taxes are all places where the theater needs to use money.

Generally speaking, the attendance rate of a movie shown in a theater only reaches 40%, then the theater can be able to protect the capital, that is to say, at present, with the attendance rate of the theater during the day, it is difficult to make the theater make money, and sometimes even have to be upside down; The key to making money in the theater is in the prime time of the evening, and the attendance rate of the theater at night is generally six to eighty percent, which is the time when the theater is really profitable, which shows the importance of the prime time for the theater.

Just like the football field says that the midfielder wins the world, for movies, if they are not released in prime time, don't think about how high the box office of your movie is.

And the night is full, but it can only be screened for three or four shows, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is. This is also the reason why Chen Shaoyi is sincerely grateful to Xu Guanwen. Excluding the factor of Xu Guanwen, Chen Shaoyi is a newcomer in the film industry, no matter how optimistic Golden Harvest is about "Modern Bodyguard", it is unlikely that he will give up the prime time to "Modern Bodyguard", let alone two consecutive screenings. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Golden Harvest to explain to other film producers, and there is a chain of interests in this.

Therefore, in many cases, ability is important, but without connections, it is difficult to make much difference no matter how strong the ability is, especially the Chinese nation, which is more particular in this regard.
