"Sue me for a specific number!"

"Why do you ask this?" said Overtime - Gozman's voice was confused, a little stunned, as if to say, "What are you crazy about?

"Tell me the truth, I need money! a lot, a lot of money! You tell me the truth, how many weeks does my film have to receive box office before I can move forward?

Looking at the pitch-black night sky, Ye Wei said very seriously, "Sue me!"

Gary Gozman was silent for a moment before he said: "To tell you the truth, we don't have a plan for the theatrical release of "The Wedding is Coming", the screening is to build momentum for its disc sales and improve your fame. With your current popularity, it's not impossible to do it on a small scale, but you really need to show a good show.

Pretong doesn't have a system, we are cooperating with IFc Films, and they will also run this screening, and the DVD sales will also be in the future. ”

"Well, I know......" Ye Wei responded.

IFc-FI1ms is a subsidiary of the amc network, and its main business is independent films, such as "My Grand Greek Wedding".

But it is mainly engaged in dVd and VOD (video on demand) business;In terms of theaters,99Since its establishment, the average number of films per year is less than 4,Except for the commercial miracle "My Grand Greek Wedding"The largest scale has reached more than 2ooo (1o8 in the opening week), the average maximum scale of each film is only about 5o (the average opening week is less than 3), which can be regarded as making a small amount of money that can be determined to be a steady income.

"How much box office is it for IFc to arrange 1oo theaters for me in the second week?"

"According to the latest plan, your screening week will be 1 theater, if you can get 10,000 US dollars at the box office in one week, it will continue in the second week, expand to 3-5 theaters, I want to ...... I guess so. ”

Gozman was still not blindly optimistic, and was vigilant about this achievement, and said: "If you want to have more than 1oo theaters the next week, the box office must be more than 60,000 US dollars in the screening week, and more than half of the three days on the weekend, and the reputation is excellent! 60,000 US dollars...... Do you know how high that is? Tickets for the screening cost $7 a piece, which cost nearly 10,000 people. ”

VIy has some fans now, but it doesn't mean that there are so many fans who just spend time in Los Angeles to go to a designated theater, pay $7 to buy a ticket to watch it, and say that they are okay. Who knows? Is VIy really that appealing? I don't know what the quality of the film will be.

"However, it's not easy at all, in fact, it is good to receive 10,000 dollars. ”

Listening to Gozman's words, Ye Wei's eyebrows moved, and he calculated a result, saying: "To be precise, it is 8,572 audiences or moviegoers. It's certainly not easy, but, Gary, every step I take is not easy, so go for it, 30,000 weekend box office, 60,000 week box office, that's my goal!

Please tell the people of IFc, if "The Wedding is Coming" is done, they don't rush at that time, grab my strength, 1oo in the second week, 3oo in the third week!"

Thinking of his father in the hospital bed, his smiling mother and the carefree Duoduo, there was a fire burning in his eyes.

"It's a bit old-fashioned to say this, but I'm confident that I will create another miracle!"

......

Ye Wei's phone call made Gary Gozman really confused and funny, not that he watched VIy, but young people don't know much about movies, and he can't follow his dreams.

But there is a reason why VIy is overconfident, and the heat continues to explode!

For several days in a row, the Los Angeles Times movie section had a side note that the "VIy said" column would be opened on the 26th, and the 16-year-old's movie column was already very popular, which was really news. In any case, Ye Wei has proven to the world that he has an extraordinary talent for writing.

Some even put him and Christopher Paolini together and thought they were incredible.

A genius for fiction, he wrote his magical masterpiece Iralong (1998) at the age of 15, which was published in 2oo3 and was named "one of the most outstanding publications in the world in 2oo3". k。 Rowling's most successful best-selling author after ......

At just 21 years old, Paulini's light is shining all over the world.

So the media compares Ye Wei with him like this, which is looking for scolding. Sure enough, Bolini's tens of millions of fans scolded everywhere on the Internet: "Who is Ye Wei?", "He also deserves to be compared with Paulini!", "What did he write? How many broken comments?", "He's a fool!", "Isn't he making movies? Movies can't be made?......

No, there is also a new situation on the side of movie promotion.

The official website of "The Wedding is Coming" has updated the latest news of "VIy-Vs-gIa", this 5-minute promotional video showdown will officially start at 8 pm on May 5th, and the promotional videos of the two will be on the 6 official website!

The official poster of the film, as well as the date and location of the screening, will also be announced.

People's expectations are exploding again and again, and VIy's popularity is also exploding again and again!

Maybe Lowitt and they laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, but Ye Wei's team has changed their strategy, let's fry, let's fry together, rush up, as high as you want!

Ye Wei just said: His horse goes up, goes up!

At the same time, Chen Nuo, who knows a little bit about IT technology, has built a simple small website." 1oveviy。 com", Ye Wei's fan network also has his pictures, news and news, etc., and also made a "I want to watch "The Wedding is Coming" fan registration click that is not available on the official website.

As of April 23, 2oo4, the duplicate clicks of the same IP have been removed, and the number of effective people is 92o.

Of course, this number does not reflect the real situation, because "Ai Yewei" is not an official website, although it is in the list of friendly external links on the official website, but there will only be a very small number of die-hard followers who will support this part and click on this website.

This number can only be said to reflect some of the latest changes in popularity.

And it made Lev and Bard excited, as if looking at a stock that had been filled up by itself and soared all the way, "It's gone up again, it's gone up again! It's 926 now!"

"It's 927 on my side...... It's gone up again!"

"We can break through 1,000 people this weekend, that's amazing!"

The negative effects of the explosion are also emerging, not everyone likes to be in the limelight with Asians, and not everyone believes in what kind of talent he is, so VIy is suffering more and more skepticism and attacks.

It's still Chen Nuo, who built another website at the same time." viysuck。 com" (VIy is rotten) observation situation, and also set up a "I want VIy to disappear" registration click, there are already 136 people!Ip from all over the United States, and the message board is also very lively, a bunch of people ridiculed, cursed, and despised Ye Wei, so that Lev They will not come in after watching it once, so as not to be angry with themselves by some boring sluts!

But there are so many people who hate VIy in the extreme, how many will not be registered?

Perhaps, there are almost as many people who love him as there are those who hate him!

......

Ye Wei ignored this, because his father's condition was stable and he only needed to recuperate, so he didn't go to the hospital from the next day.

What he needs to do most now is not the hospital, but the editing room! What he needs to do the most is not to accompany his family, not to date, not to play, but to make the damn remake of "Marriage is Coming" to do his best!

For several days, he could be said to have been admitted to the editing room, did not go to the hospital, did not go to school, and only came home in the early hours of the morning, and came back before the sky was fully bright. I only sleep four or five hours a day, and when my mind is tired, I do exercise, or write columns to change my brain, and the rest of the time I edit propaganda videos and feature films.

Lily had called him out to play, Lev had called them, and he had the same response, sorry, not available.

So, when Suzanne Hines came every morning, she would always see Ye Wei sitting there, looking intently at the screen.

If it weren't for the fact that he had changed his clothes, she would have thought that he hadn't moved at all, because the work was going completely different from when she got off work the day before, and he was still working at night!

After all, Ye Wei was a terrifyingly energetic young man, even so, he couldn't see any tired color on his face, but his eyes were clearly a little more crazy, as if he wanted to treat the world and himself fiercely.

Susanne's child is about the same age as Ye Wei, watching a teenager work so terribly, is it amazing?

On Friday, it was evening work time again, and of course Susanne, who had a family child, had to leave, and she didn't go to work for two days on the weekend. It's just that she really doesn't want Ye Wei to continue like this, and before leaving, she persuaded: "Weige, shouldn't you take a break?

Ye Wei's gaze didn't leave the computer screen at all, he held the mouse and clicked on something, and replied casually: "I'm OK, it's okay, I'm OK, you go, I'll stay for a while." ”

"Hey, well, you pay attention to rest, don't get tired too. ”

After a while, when a scene was cut, Ye Weicai replied again: "Okay, you can go." Unable to hear any movement, he turned his head to see that he was the only one left in the editing room, and Suzanne had left at some point.

"Today has just begun. He stretched his hands and feet a few times, and then continued to work on the next scene.

He picked up his phone and was about to order takeout, but now there was no power, and he forgot to charge it last night......

He patted his stomach, got up and walked around the editing room, and sure enough, there were a few packets of biscuits on the coffee table, which Suzanne should have bought, and ate them all at the moment, so he went back to his desk and continued to work, although he was still a little hungry, but he would forget to do things, and after a while, he was completely absorbed again.

The night was getting darker, and the lights in the editing room were always on.
