Chapter 62: The First Day Box Office

The first day of the release of "Night Club" was not large, more than 1,000 theaters sounded like a lot, but the total number of screenings was less than 5,000, and each theater only showed three or four screenings, which was too far from those popular films.

And when it comes to each theater, the situation is even worse.

Most theaters only arrange a small screening hall for "Nightclub", and the screening time is relatively unpopular, which will definitely affect the attendance rate of the movie.

But Huarui Film and Television can't do more, the small cost and unknown cast of "Night Club" have always made the theater side despise it, and it has already been popular to be able to win 5,000 screenings.

So in the face of this release situation, Fang Bo was very calm, he tried his best to make a good movie, Hua Rui also tried his best to do a good job in publicity, and the rest will be left to the audience.

Therefore, on the first day of the movie's release, he didn't care about the real-time statistics of the box office, but planned to accompany his parents to the cinema to watch "Night Club".

At 4 p.m. on the 26th, at home in the county seat.

"Hurry up, it's almost time!"

In the living room, Xiao Mei looked up at the clock on the wall again, and then said loudly in the direction of the bedroom, urging Fang Lei, who was struggling.

After knowing from Fang Bo that "Night Club" was about to be released a few days ago, she was even more attentive than Fang Bo, not only happy for several days, but also simply closed the noodle shop today, took a day off and did nothing, just waiting to watch a movie in the afternoon.

"Don't rush, don't rush, it'll be right away."

Fang Lei's voice came from the bedroom.

Xiao Mei pursed her lips and complained to Fang Bo on the side: "I asked him to prepare in the morning, not to say that he was not in a hurry, and when he was about to set off, he said that the clothes were uncomfortable to wear, and he must change them, he was really not busy in the morning and panicked at night." ”

Fang Bo said with a smile: "Mom, it's still early, the movie only starts at half past four, and the movie theater is so close, it will be there in a while, and it won't be delayed." ”

"Hmph."

Xiao Mei raised her chin towards the bedroom to show Fang Lei's dissatisfaction, but she didn't continue to urge, but kept sending messages to people with her mobile phone.

Fang Bo walked over curiously to take a look, it turned out that Xiao Mei was helping him advertise, telling his relatives about the release of "Night Club", and calling on everyone to go to the cinema to watch this movie when they were free.

For Xiao Mei, the movie made by her son has been released, which is a great thing, of course, it is worth showing off, although it is not enough to go around with a loudspeaker, but it is normal to say a few words to close relatives.

Seeing that his mother was showing off with his eldest uncle, second uncle and others, Fang Bo smiled and did not bother.

After a few minutes, the bedroom door was opened, and Fang Lei, who had changed into his outfit, walked out, "Okay, let's go." ”

Xiao Mei put away her phone, looked up, and couldn't help laughing, "Son, your father said that he didn't care before, but he deliberately changed into a new clothes, and at a glance, he knew that he was duplicitous." ”

"What's new and old, it's just more comfortable to wear." Fang Lei defended himself, but muttered in his heart: Is it so obvious?

Like Fang Bo, he usually doesn't like to dress up, a piece of clothing can be worn for several years, and he is always busy in the back kitchen, and the clothes he wears are clean and clean, but it is inevitable that they will be a little old.

Today, when he thought of going to watch his son's movie, although he was not as excited as Xiao Mei on the surface, he was also very happy in his heart, and he changed his clothes before leaving, so as to look more formal.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mei saw through the thoughts in his heart at a glance, Fang Lei had to quickly change the topic, "Okay, okay, aren't you urging you to say that time is tight, let's go quickly." ”

Fang Bo got up with a smile and helped his father out of the siege, "Okay, let's go." ”

The family set off and arrived at the cinema in a short time.

After collecting the tickets, the time is almost up, and the three people check in to enter.

Entering the screening hall, Fang Lei subconsciously said: "How do you feel that there are so few people." ”

Hearing this, Fang Bo turned his head to look.

There are really not many people, and when the twenty or thirty spectators disperse, they seem sparse.

"Just you talk a lot." Xiao Mei glared at Fang Lei.

Don't say it if there are many people, what if it hits my son's self-confidence?

Fang Lei consciously lost his words and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Fang Bo explained to his parents with a smile: "This situation is actually okay, the average attendance rate of the movie theater is not high, and there are not many people who watch movies in the afternoon, and it is already good to have three percent." ”

"Oh, that's right." Xiao Mei didn't know if what Fang Bo said was right, but what her son said, she just believed it unconditionally.

Fang Lei also nodded, at first he did feel that there were few people, but after listening to Fang Bo's words, and then comparing the situation of the next hall, he immediately understood.

After all, the noodle restaurant has to wait until the time of the meal to have a large number of customers, and there is naturally no business at other times, so it should be similar if you want to come to the cinema.

Thinking about it this way, he was happy again, then it seems that the release of the movie is still very good, at least his own noodle restaurant generally does not have a 30% attendance rate at this time.

However, what Fang Lei didn't know was that the attendance of the noodle restaurant and the movie theater was actually not comparable, and the noodle restaurant was doing a long-term business, so the movie was different.

The popularity of most movies will decline rapidly after their release, and the attendance rate will also decline, so thirty percent of the audience in the screening hall can only say that the situation is not bad, but it can't be said how good it is, and whether it can be maintained in the follow-up depends on the reputation of the movie.

After waiting for a while, the movie begins.

During the more than an hour of watching the movie, there was continuous laughter in the screening hall, and Fang Lei and Xiao Mei also laughed non-stop.

Fang Bo didn't pay much attention to watching the movie, after all, he was too familiar, he watched it so many times, and he could even recite every line backwards, and he had long lost his freshness.

He has been paying close attention to the audience's reactions, and he smiled with satisfaction when he saw that several important jokes set up in the movie played a role, making the audience laugh again and again.

No matter how much box office the movie can have, the audience's laughter is the best recognition of him.

After watching the movie, the family got up and left.

Xiao Mei was in a good mood, took Fang Bo's hand and said happily: "In order to celebrate the release of your movie, I will cook myself tonight and cook a big meal to treat you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Bo and Fang Lei swallowed their saliva in unison, the dishes made by Xiao Mei tasted absolutely nothing, and the father and son would never get tired of eating it no matter how many times they ate it.

Fang Bo said with a smile: "This proposal is good, I support it!" ”

Fang Lei nodded and agreed: "Me too." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry home!"

……

After a hearty dinner, Fang Bo helped clean up the kitchen and returned to his bedroom to prepare for the next movie.

It was only at this time that he took out his mobile phone and took a look at the real-time box office data of "Night Club".

As of 9 p.m., the movie has received a total of 4.47 million box office, and there are still 3 hours left today, and the box office on the first day will probably be around 5 million.

Nearly 5,000 films were scheduled, with a box office of 5 million, and an average of nearly 1,000 yuan per game, which is not bad, it depends on whether it can be maintained next.

After a brief look, Fang Bo was already very satisfied with this result, so he didn't think about it anymore, anyway, the movie had already been released, and it was useless to think more, so he put his phone and got busy with the storyboard script.
