Chapter Forty-Nine: Box Office

"Director Chu, is the box office out?"

"yes, how many? Is there a million? ”

The next day, a group of people still met in Xingchen, but there was not much time to greet each other, because today was Saturday, and it was also the first day that word of mouth began to spread, and the task was a bit heavy, basically running all the movie theaters in the entire capital, and then it began to be divided into batches.

When everyone saw Chu Xuan coming, they couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

"Wait a little longer, at ten o'clock, China Film will send the specific news, don't worry, we also saw the situation yesterday, basically there are more than seventy percent attendance, it won't be bad."

Chu Xuan poured a glass of water and handed it to Gao Yuanyuan as he spoke, these days, there is no software such as Maoyan and Taopiao that can detect box office information in real time, so he can only wait for the next day for the major theaters to report and summarize it online and then send it to the distribution company.

There are naturally some concealments, but they won't go too far, and now there are not as many flowers as later, what yin and yang system, Zhang Guan Li Dai, ghost charter and so on.

"That's what I said, but my heart is really itchy, I don't have as much concentration as Director Chu, it's really hard to wait."

Huang Bo's red eyes obviously didn't look like he had a good rest, but no one laughed at him, everyone knew that Chu Xuan should be the most stressed, but everyone knew Huang Bo's situation, he was completely a stud mentality, if he lost his interests this time, he would really go back to his hometown to find another protΓ©gΓ©.

Chu Xuan didn't comfort either, it had come to this point, no matter how much he said, it was useless, adults had to bear a lot of things alone.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't have so many ideas, just looked at Chu Xuan's hand, then pulled it over, and said softly: "I don't trim my nails, sometimes it's quite stingy, it just so happens that I brought nail clippers to help you cut them." ”

Chu Xuan seemed to remember something, and was a little embarrassed for a while, it seemed that his hand would indeed rise unconsciously when he kissed her, if he scratched that touch of snow white because of his nails, this was a very sinful thing, and he had to pay attention to this problem, so he let it go.

Then the sound of chirping is transmitted in a small space, which is a little noisy and dry at first, but it can also be a good distraction to stabilize the mind.

Then, after a ringtone, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Xuan's mobile phone, as if a hungry wolf was looking at its prey.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and directly chose to go hands-free.

The phone turned out to be opened by Han Sanping himself, it seems to be good news?

"Han Dong, I didn't disappoint everyone, did I?"

Then a burst of laughter came,

"Very good, Director Wang really has a long-term vision this time, the total box office on Friday is two million and fifty thousand, which is more than half of expectations, congratulations, Director Chu."

"Wow! Long live Director Chu! ”

"It's 2.05 million, it's against the sky!"

"The total box office must not break 20 million now? Otherwise, is there still heavenly reason!! ”

"Rely on it, rely on it!"

"yes yes yes!"

Suddenly, everyone cheered, regardless of whether there was etiquette or not, Han San also smiled and finally said, "Come on, hang up first, don't disturb your celebration!" ”

Chu Xuan tightened his palms vigorously, then turned his head to look at Gao Yuanyuan, and said seriously:

"I made it."

Gao Yuanyuan held back her excitement and laughed:

"I hear you."

Then they hugged each other tightly.

"Bo, let's have one too!"

Deng Chao has always followed the pace of his eldest brother closely, and pounced on Huang Bo.

"Haha, come and go!"

Ning Hao was full of envy and melancholy:

"Lao Chu is completely beautiful now, this twist and turn, it's really not easy."

Zhou Lin was also very excited, and at the same time, he finally let go of a heavy heart, this time, he made the right bet!

"Success is always for people like us, Director Ning, I'm sure you can too!"

Ning Hao laughed, "You still understand me, it's natural!" ”

The crowd cheered for a moment, and then the scene returned to calm, but the joy on their faces could not be swayed.

"Okay, yesterday was the first day, I believe that the box office will get better and better in the future, everyone work hard!"

After Chu Xuan spoke, others also expressed their opinions, and he took advantage of the situation to look at the information, which was the box office of specific major regions, such as 480,000 in Beijing, 340,000 in Yangcheng, 530,000 in Seoul, 460,000 in Shancheng, etc., but excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In fact, at present, the national release in a narrow sense refers to the mainland, and if you want to achieve national unification in the true sense, you have to find distribution companies in both regions in advance, contact local theaters, and then do a good job of scheduling publicity.

But Chu Xuan's side was in a hurry to be released in the New Year, so he was not so well prepared, so he had a second plan, during or after the mainland release, by selling copyrights, it would be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan and even the world, but the time was uncertain, and there was also a distributor to buy it.

"First of all, I think the rest of the funds can be smashed down, and then the copy can be processed a few more, and how much can I get more box office before the pirated version is on the shelves, and then I will talk to China Film about the issue of film scheduling, we should be eligible to increase, and we can break 30 million at the box office!"

Zhou Lin quickly said his thoughts, and then said regretfully: "If only we could have the momentum of Director Zhang, the government would be able to send a task force to resist piracy, at least don't pirate during the release!" ”

At present, many movie box offices are concentrated in the first two weeks, because generally speaking, piracy appears after a week, or high-definition, if it is not a special effects blockbuster, the audience is shocked and big, and the damage to the crew is absolutely huge.

Chu Xuan had no opinion on this, and even felt that it was a big fuss!

Because Chu Xuan thinks that this problem is not big at all, the national situation is like this, everyone is like this, and being pirated doesn't it also shows that it has a certain value, otherwise it can't be sold ghost pirated you!

Of course, it is limited to China, and overseas still has to sell as many copyrights as possible!

Because there are many more serious problems than piracy, and they have not even been solved in China after 20 years, such as medical and drug health, medical insurance, and shoddy food, etc., isn't this much more important than movies?

Material civilization determines spiritual civilization, and the superstructure also determines the lower culture, we can't understand this problem from the aspect of intellectual property rights, there is nothing wrong with the public liking movies to broaden their horizons and enjoy entertainment, what is wrong can only be social problems, if this problem is not solved, then Chu Xuan's works should be pirated.

Chu Xuan has always thought that the audience is willing to buy tickets to support it, he is grateful, he feels good after watching the pirated version, and he came to praise it, or when he is old and his trouser belt is loose, he will make up for it in the years to come, he is also grateful, isn't it good to owe you a movie ticket?

At the same time, the director is very charismatic, and even more so than the actor!

For example, Cameron, Spielberg, Nolan, etc., their movies can basically be brainless, of course, it is the same in China, Lao Mouzi and Feng Dacang don't care how to scold afterwards, they will definitely watch what they should see, the reason is very simple, their former honor is enough to support them to hit the street a few times.

"You arrange it normally, I think the publicity funds can also be appropriately increased, our main channels were still on the Internet and print media, but some bus stops, radio, and television stations are not, you can see if you can contact any talk shows or the like, so that the actors have time to sit down."

Zhou Lin thought for a while and added:

"I think Director Chu, you can also go, now you are much more popular than Deng Chao and them, including several major media and the like, I think they have also gotten the news, and they should take the initiative to interview."

Chu Xuan pondered for a while, and now he doesn't mind showing his face too much, as long as it is not over-marketing, it is necessary and justifiable, this is not a problem.

"That's okay, it's decided, let's go, continue the roadshow!"
