Chapter 10 First Day Box Office!
"Classmate Guan, how is your movie?"
On QQ, Liu Yifei took the initiative to contact me. She didn’t know anyone at RB, so she must be quite lonely. , I chatted with Guan Ling through text messages, and then changed to QQ to chat in detail for a while.
"The release date has been determined, August 10th." Guan Ling replied to QQ, "How are you doing at RB, is it going well?"
"I'm fine. , Sony is very concerned about it," Liu Yifei replied, "I will go back soon on August 10th, and I will definitely go see the movie you made."
Guan Ling guessed, That little girl over there must be smiling.
“You are welcome to contribute to my box office when the time comes.”
“It’s incredible to say that we are all classmates in the acting department, but in the blink of an eye, you secretly became a director. "
"Xiao Liu is not even a senior student yet. He is already racing to become an international superstar. If you want to envy everyone, I will definitely envy you even more. "
"By the way, I will go back to China. I have a gift for you later.”
"What gift?"
"I'm going back soon anyway, so I'll give it a try first. I don't know if you like it, but I guess you might be happy."
"Then I Let’s wait and see.”
“No more, my mother came to see me. There is an interview over there.” It’s offline.
The two chatted for a while and exchanged business blows.
In the following time, Guan Ling began to prepare for his own affairs. He had previously set up a company called Lingyun Media.
It’s just an empty shell and must be formalized.
Guan Ling found a middleman and rented a space. These days, buying an office building for the company would result in a huge loss. It would definitely not be as much as the increase in the courtyard house, but after all, he had to have a place to stay.
I rented it first. It didn’t cost much. For a multi-millionaire, it was just a splash of water.
The company has to recruit people, and Guan Ling is in trouble. In his previous life, he could only interview actresses...
We hired several professionals, the most important being finance and lawyers, all of whom were recruited through headhunting. Guan Ling gave people interviews, but he couldn't ask any professional questions, so he was timid, so he finally hired a professional headhunter. Come to assist.
The resumes of the new recruits are quite good. Guan Lingkai’s salary is also at a normal level, a little higher than the market price, but he invested three million in the company at once. It is stable and very attractive.
After a brief meeting, Guan Ling made one request to everyone: the province should pay the tax.
As for sleeping that shouldn't be done, Guan Ling didn't mention it. It was his private matter.
In early August, Guan Ling went to buy a house. Although he still had about 10 million left, Guan Ling was still speechless when he saw the price of the courtyard house.
In the second ring road, the price of a small courtyard of 90 square meters is 9 million, and the price of 220 square meters is 38 million.
“Fuck, what can I do with this little money?”
Guan Ling was full of energy, and the joy of winning more than 10 million in the lottery was poured cold water on him. .
What about cheating? I can't help but some people reincarnate well.
I asked about the Guozijian street again, and there were almost no houses with less than 20 million. During the process of asking, the house seller also revealed the news that a rich man had just bought a house there, and there was a Nine Dragon Wall in it. .
Finally, after asking around, I chose a house over Houhai, Xicheng District, North Second Ring Road. The price was a bit cheaper, 5.6 million, 1.5 square meters. The seller was eager to use the money, so Guan Ling paid directly. Two clear things.
This place is not far from Nortel, ten miles away.
After buying the house, Guan Ling suddenly felt a stone fall to the ground. In this life, we will also stand in BJ.
In a few years, this will be 200 million.
Comfortable!
After returning to the dormitory, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were both in the room, "Guanzi, what have you been busy with recently? Didn't you say that the editing of the movie is finished? Why are you still running out every day?"
"Also It's nothing. Recently, my second uncle who traveled to Taiwan suddenly contacted me and left me a legacy in BJ. He just received it." Guan Ling was talking nonsense.
Luo Jin's big eyes were round and he was sour, "Why don't I have a second uncle like this?"
"You idiot, you joined the National Army in 1949 and traveled across the ocean this year. He's already seventy, and his second uncle and grandpa are still the same, so they don't believe anything." Zhu Yawen expressed contempt.
“Have you read Seven Swords?” Luo Jin quickly changed the subject and complained, “Don’t go and read it, it’s very disturbing to your eyes. The story is very ugly.”
He went to see if there was anything similar to the scene in Green Snake, but he felt very uncomfortable.
Zhu Yawen took out a newspaper from the bedside and said: "I went to see Teacher Wang today and saw Old Monster Xu being interviewed. He came back smoothly."
"What? Interview?" Guan Ling was also very interested.
The movie is about to be released, this is a competitor after all.
Bring the newspaper, Shanghai Youth Daily. "Word-of-mouth criticism is not important, Tsui Hark said with a smile: "Seven Swords" will be continued if the box office is high. 》
Xu Laoguai said that the box office of the movie in the mainland is currently good. The box office in the first weekend exceeded 26 million, and Southeast Asia also took 40 million. This is a very good start.
Xu Laoguai also said that in fact, "Seven Swords" has completed the scripts for six sequels. As for the movie this time, it is just the tip of the iceberg. All your questions will be answered in the sequels, including the seven sequels. The relationship between the sword and each person's character.
Listen, listen, the great director is different from others.
“I’m a little confused after eating shit this time. It’s okay. I’ll give you another pot and I’ll solve your confusion for you then.”
Guan Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Another rough calculation, based on the box office of the first weekend, it turns out that the reputation has indeed collapsed in the end. Guan Ling became more confident.
Two days later, China Film Group contacted Guan Ling and held a premiere ceremony at 0:00 on August 10th.
Guan Ling hurriedly contacted Fan Wei, Zhang Songwen, Dong Xuan and others. As the main creators, they must attend together.
On August 10th, China Film held a premiere ceremony for "The Uninvited Guest" at Xingmei International Cinemas. These days, the premiere ceremony is not only for publicity, but also for Look at the audience response scores to decide how to adjust the film schedule.
During this period, the topic of whether Dong Xuan is the most beautiful costume actress of the new generation has been very hot, attracting the attention of many male viewers.
There were quite a few people at the premiere, about two-thirds of them, many of them men.
As a director, Guan Ling needed to speak on stage. He picked up the microphone and said,
“As a new director, I want to tell a story to the audience with my heart. Among the audience here, I believe that some things come from the word "suspense" in suspense movies, some want to be happy and think Teacher Fan can bring everyone laughter like in the Spring Festival Gala, and some may be directed at the superb performance of our heroine Come... But I believe that you will not be bored if you come today! Because this movie is really... beautiful!"
The lights in the screening room were dimmed and the movie was projected onto the screen. on screen.
The dragon logo lit up, and soon the main film started...
The main actors were all sitting in the middle row, and they were all here. This was their first time watching a finished film, especially Fan Wei. He was under pressure. He didn't know. What will be the final effect of your performance?
From the beginning, there were praises from the audience.
After the continuous reversal and continuous cutbacks, people's exclamations and exclamations appeared in the screening room.
“Why is this movie so full of twists and turns?”
“Teacher Fan, who works at the anti-scam hotline, how can he act so well? This is not the same as the lustful fool in "A World Without Thieves" Thieves are not the same at all, okay?"
"Everyone is evil, but there is no good person!"
"Did you see that the person delivering the food seems to be the director, directing and acting himself? His acting skills are good.”
When the setting was about to change dramatically, when the goods were being traded, the sudden appearance of the child caused the entire theater to take a breath of air, and everyone was silent for a while.
The plot of the movie ended quickly, and the final ending seemed to be a happy ending, but the audience was still unsatisfied. Someone wanted to pee during the movie, and they held it back.
The premiere was very good, and the audience rushed to tell them that this movie was the most surprising movie in August.
"Seven Swords" has collapsed now. It relies purely on its fame to attract people to the cinema. As for "Eye of Heaven", "My Mother Zhao Yiman", "Taihang Mountain", "North of Water" ", "The Windmill Outside Xiliang" and the like cannot be played at all. "The Uninvited Guest" suddenly became the uninvited guest in the August schedule.
At around one o'clock in the morning on August 11, Han Zheng called, "Director Guan, the box office on the first day is out, guess how much it is?"
"Eight hundred thousand? "Guan Ling said blindly, as a child, he still guesses.
"Director Guan is too cautious, the box office on the first day was 1.93 million!" Han Zheng was much more excited than Guan Ling.
To be honest, Guan Ling is not very accurate about this box office concept. He only knows that "Crazy Stone" took 2,400 in the attack of "Superman Returns" and "Mission: Impossible 3" million box office.
If calculated based on one month, it would be 193 on the first day and 60 million on the 30th day. Taking a 220% discount, it would be over 40 million.
Guan Ling was shocked for a moment, and his thoughts may have something to do with Dong Xuan's performance that was advertised, and it may decrease in the future.
At around seven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Han's call directly woke up Guan Ling. Guan Ling looked at the call record and hurriedly answered it.
This is the first time that Mr. Han has taken the initiative to call me since I met Mr. Han.
"Xiaoguan, you really didn't disappoint me!" Mr. Han was stunned by the first-day box office. Regardless of whether it was a flash in the pan or not, it was just the first-day box office. He pressed his head and thought, this movie can't lose money!
Next, it’s time!
Han Sanye has high hopes for "The Uninvited Guest" and asked the copy department to copy more movie discs. As long as the theaters are willing to increase the number of screenings, they will never be restricted due to copy discs.
As for "Seven Swords"? Shanghai Film is the distributor, and the investors of that movie are BJ Culture and Japanese and Korean companies. China Film has no share of the meat, but China Film actually has 35% of the profit share of "The Uninvited Guests". Thinking of this Han San I was a little unhappy. I invested 800,000 yuan at that time. Now it seems that despite making a steady profit, China Film has suffered a huge loss. My mood suddenly deteriorated.
On August 13, under the order of Master Han, China Film Group conducted an exclusive interview with Guan Ling. The title of the interview was:
"The Uninvited Guest" - Small and Medium Cost A milestone in genre films.
Whether it is a milestone or not, at least the box office of 1.93 million on the first day, 2.17 million on the second day, and 2.36 million on the third day is enough for China Film to be Guan Ling Let’s do some work.
A milestone work, just blow it!
