Chapter 116 Universal Records
As expected by Gu Wei, "Detective Chinatown" released at the same time had a certain impact on "Private Customization" at the box office.
Both the proportion of films scheduled and the first-day box office data are lower than those of the original time and space.
After all, it is only 2013 and the number of screens nationwide is limited.
The market is so big. No matter how popular your movie is, if the attendance rate reaches 100%, there is a limit to the box office. This is the limitation of hardware conditions.
Unlike in a few years, when the number of domestic screens has doubled, even if several blockbusters are released on the same day, as long as the audience supports them, everyone will have the possibility of a box office of over 100 million.
Gu Wei didn't pay much attention to the box office data. Feng Xiaogang would definitely be slapped in the face in the end.
There are still three days left. In order to achieve the final box office results of "Tang Detective", he has to persist and complete the remaining two ticket warehouse cities in the plan.
While Gu Wei was running the promotion without any distractions, the second week passed quickly.
On Sunday evening, he was sitting in the car heading to Shenzhen Airport. He slumped in his seat, closed his eyes and relaxed his mind.
I'm so tired these days.
Although it is not a physical job, it requires sweat.
But the promotion team had a very full schedule. He just came out of this movie theater, got in the car and went to the next movie theater immediately.
There is basically no rest time in between.
The time spent at each promotional location is also calculated extremely accurately. After all, the itinerary is arranged, and when and where he will arrive, the audience who are looking forward to his arrival cannot wait too long.
Gu Wei also has no habit of being late.
Eating every day is done in the car on the road. It usually takes late at night to fly from one city to another.
The whole person was spinning, and the mental fatigue was far greater than the physical fatigue.
Back in the capital, I had a good night’s rest.
The next day, Gu Wei came to the company.
Manager Zhao Mingcheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, showed up at the company.
"Mr. Zhao, [Prince Concubine's Promotion] has been finalized?"
"It was completed a few days ago. I stayed in Xiangshan for a few more days to wrap up.
The director is currently busy with post-editing, and the film will be ready in a week or two. "
This is the first film he has made since joining the company. Zhao Mingcheng takes this TV series very seriously.
The success of this TV series is related to whether he can truly gain a foothold in [Wei Tianxia].
Gu Wei is also looking forward to this web drama. His guest scene in it was filmed early.
With the company’s director and small team, the venue only needs an outdoor swimming pool and some extras.
“When the TV series is completed, let’s talk to the three major video platforms about the price.
With the current popularity of the [Tang Detective] movie and my guest appearance, the price will probably be better. Talk a lot.”
Gu Wei thought for a moment and told Zhao Mingcheng.
Back to the office.
After a while, his agent sent him the box office data for the second week of the movie's release.
On Friday the 20th, the box office rebounded and closed at 41.56 million.
On Saturday and Sunday, since they were weekends, the box office rose to 56.41 million and 48.36 million respectively.
[Detective Tangren Street] grossed a total of 326.2 million at the box office during its second seven-day week of release.
As of today, Monday, [Tang Detective] has been in theaters for 12 weeks and has collected a total of 787.7 million at the box office.
You must know that the total box office of the original "Detective Chinatown" was only 823 million.
It took Gu Wei two weeks to break this record.
Since its release until now, the movie has broken many box office records for Chinese-language movies.
Such as the highest single-day box office record for a Chinese-language film, the highest box office record for a Chinese-language film in the first week, the highest box office record for a Chinese-language film in the second week, etc., becoming the holder of new records.
The movie was a hit at the box office, and Gu Wei was very happy. Out of curiosity, he checked the box office results of [Private Customization] last week.
The box office in the first week was 280 million, which was 40 million less than the box office of "Tang Detective" in the second week. Of course, it was released on a Wednesday, so it missed two days of box office.
Compared with the first week box office of the original Time and Space [Private Customization], it was nearly 50 million less.
It is certain that this movie will make money. After all, Feng Xiaogang's comedy movies often make money back through product placement before they are released.
But it is impossible to reach the box office of more than 700 million in Original Time and Space, let alone the 1 billion that Huayi claims.
Gu Wei thought for a moment, and based on the current box office trend, more than 500 million should be the limit for [Private Customization].
Thinking of this, he felt more comfortable.
Today is Monday, and the box office of [Tang Detective] has further declined, but this trend is normal.
Two weeks after its release, after being rated by hundreds of thousands of people, "Tang Detective"'s Douban score has slipped a bit, but it still has a good score of 8.2 points.
The high quality of a movie determines the long-term box office trend.
Gu Wei estimates that there is no problem for "Detective Tang" to break one billion. As for how far it can go, it depends on whether the General Administration can give it a chance to be screened for a long time.
After all, last year's "囧囧" was only able to achieve a good result of more than 1.2 billion due to its 2-month long screening.
Gu Wei handled some backlogged matters in the company.
In the afternoon, I took my manager and his team to the headquarters of Universal Records in Beijing.
As early as when Gu Wei was releasing songs online, many record companies contacted him, hoping to sign a contract with him.
Because of Zhang Liangying’s relationship, Universal Music was one of the first record companies to contact him.
At that time, Gu Wei only released songs to gain popularity and popularity, and to promote the release of the movie, so he rejected them one by one.
When [Lonely Warrior] came out, it dominated all major music platforms with a sweeping trend and was widely sung.
These record companies sent invitations again, and the signing conditions were raised to the level of first-line singers.
Gu Wei discussed seriously with his agent, compared the strength of these record companies and the contracts they offered, and finally decided to sign a contract with Universal Music.
After all, it is normal for a star to sign with a record company.
Nowadays, everyone pays attention to the three aspects of film, television, singing, and everyone loves all-around stars.
And even Yang Mi signed a contract with Zhang Liangying's Shaocheng Era and released an album. Liu Yifei also signed a contract with Sony Records, and Gu Wei was naturally not far behind.
Zhang Songhui, the president of Universal Music China Branch, was talking to his subordinates about Gu Wei in the office.
"Mr. Zhang, do we need to give Gu Wei such favorable terms? His contract is already better than many first-line singers."
"You have also listened to three of his songs , what do you think?" Zhang Songhui did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment
“The three capital songs are rare masterpieces, and they are on the level of title songs in every album.
Especially the song "The Lonely Warrior", it cannot be overstated to call it a classic.
But after all, he has only released three songs, and it has been less than 3 months since he released the songs. "
Zhang Songhui smiled and explained
"Now is no longer the record era. Now is the Internet era. The popularity of a popular song may exceed the number of old singers. album effort.
I am optimistic about Gu Wei, not only because of the popularity of his three good songs.
Also because of his musical talent.
I heard Zhang Liangying say that Gu Wei’s songs were all recorded during her Shaocheng days.
The number is far more than the three songs released.
I am optimistic that he will become the next 'King of Pop' in the Chinese music scene. "
"Mr. Zhang, Gu Wei has arrived. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant outside the door knocked on the door and reminded him.
