Chapter 590 Winning word-of-mouth, losing box office
“I hope the box office results can be justified.”
After a while of excitement, Little John, who was sitting in the middle with Xiang Yang, said More expectations.
An investment of 1.5 million euros
Compared to "Warring States" which has not been released for a long time.
The movie "The Piano of Steel" deserves much more attention in his eyes.
Because, a bonus was just issued.
"What, are you stressed?" Xiang Yang, who sat down, glanced sideways and whispered.
“No, how is that possible?” Little John shook his head.
After participating in the Tokyo International Film Festival, this film will be released in Europe and North America one after another.
There are many channels for recovering investment.
It’s just a matter of how much you earn.
Like "Legal Copy".
Highly acclaimed in Cannes, Juliette Binoche also won Europe’s three gold medals ‘Grand Slam’.
However, after the movie was released, it was well-received but not well-received, and the box office results in many countries were disastrous.
But looking through the financial reports carefully, Hermès Film Investment Company did not lose any money, and even made some profits.
It’s just that the reimbursement cycle is a bit slow.
Movies are definitely not as simple as just looking at the box office results.
Of course.
Everyone likes to see a good box office.
Who would be willing to do favors and sell various copyrights when they can make money easily?
But just looking at the genre of "The Piano", Little John had already known that this movie would most likely be similar to "Legal Copy".
If you need to make money, it will probably take a while.
As for why we still go to such trouble when we know that the benefits are not big.
On a small scale, I think it would be a good idea to get the copyright for this movie.
But actually.
It is for the future layout of Hermès Film Investment Company in the Chinese film market.
The next one is Liu Qianqian’s movie.
You must first make the audience familiar with it and leave an impression. You can’t wait for everything.
Just like this time.
With his efforts and the help of Han Sanping, Gang's Qin found 113 cinemas for a joint screening on Friday night.
The next two days of Saturday and Sunday will be appropriately spread out.
So. These three days are very critical.
If it works, it will continue, if not.
Staring at the screen in front of him, Little John thought about his next plan.
"I hope so." Xiang Yang nodded slightly.
He also expected this level.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been clamoring to propose a toast to the big bosses of these theater chains during dinner.
After all, Hermès Film Investment Company is also part of the industry he is responsible for.
He doesn't like losing face in front of outsiders.
Especially, his wife's face is also lost.
Just as Little John nodded, the lights in the screening room dimmed.
As the screen turns black, the dragon logo appears.
The logos of the CC standard collection were lit up one after another at the Liaoning Studio, and "The Piano of Steel" officially kicked off
113 movie theaters began to premiere at around 8 p.m.
As of 12 o'clock, there are only more than 200 films scheduled.
Box office
Compared with the excitement created by Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian, and the good reputation among the media who came to report, invited film critics and the audience who watched the premiere.
That is, it is really terrible!
The box office result is only over 300,000 yuan.
In the Internet age, such contrary news spreads quickly.
Before the editors from the entertainment section came on stage, someone had already started writing jokes on the night scarf.
“CC is not acclimated to the local environment, just like the opening of a movie”
“It has a unique vision but it turned out to be a waste. If “The Piano” fails to live up to expectations, is it still a waterloo?”
“The box office is just a waste. Box office, don’t talk about useless things.”
"."
Don't tell me, the person who wrote these words is actually the person who watched the movie "The Piano" at first glance.
Or
In short, no matter what it is, the box office of just over 300,000 yuan really made the big and small kings of Huayi extremely happy.
Wang Zhongjun, who was in Beijing, even opened a bottle of champagne at home alone to express his congratulations after seeing such box office statistics.
However, he had a long memory and did not dare to post the photos online.
The premiere of "The Piano of Steel" was a success.
The movie itself is very beautiful.
Many people on the Internet spontaneously promoted this movie.
But the box office on the first day was due to this virtue.
Even if you count the individual sessions after 12 o'clock and the results included in all-night sessions, the improvement is minimal.
The next day.
In addition to reporting on the premiere of "The Piano", various domestic entertainment reports also commented on the theme and content of the movie.
We also made judgments on box office expectations.
Concerning the content of the movie, praise.
But he is very pessimistic about the box office trend.
It is almost unanimously agreed that the filming schedule of "The Piano" is really terrible.
There is also a consensus that as the National Day is approaching, there is not much time left for "The Piano of Steel".
After working the night shift, I pushed my bicycle into the courtyard gate and saw Xiangyang sleepily eating breakfast with his daughter-in-law.
Lao Xiang took out the newspaper from the car basket and asked: "Son, I heard that your movie results were not good? Can you sit still?"
"Dad, you're back." Liu Qianxi stood up and greeted her father-in-law.
Under Xiangyang’s influence, she also called her parents when she came back this time.
"Hey, Sissi, we are having breakfast. Where is your mother-in-law?" Lao Xiang smiled and put the newspaper on the table, no longer caring about the movie.
"She is teasing Mu Xin and her close friend."
After Liu Qianqian finished speaking with a smile, she quickly got up and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks over to invite her father-in-law to have breakfast with her.
"This is the time to see the news."
After Xiangyang yawned, he glanced at the newspaper on the table.
Hmm. This box office is low enough.
But it’s not much different from the number I expected from Han Sanping yesterday.
Ignoring his son, Lao Xiang quickly took the dishes and chopsticks from his daughter-in-law's hands and asked with a smile:
"Sissi, where are you going to take Mu Xin and your bosom friend to play today?"< br>
"Where are we going?" Liu Qianqian thought for a while. It was a big weekend and there were many things that couldn't be done.
In addition to having a dinner party tonight.
There is really nothing to do during the day.
"How about we go burn incense together, or go to the botanical garden?" Lao Xiang suggested.
These two places are right at your doorstep.
You can go there within walking distance.
Before Liu Qianqian could speak, Xiang Yang directly interrupted: "Stop making trouble, if she goes and is seen by others, you will be the one to cry."
"Hey, I see. When it came to Sissi and my two eldest granddaughters, it was too late for me to laugh.”
Lao Xiang glanced at his son with disgust.
Xiang Yang grinned, looked at Liu Qianqian who was embarrassed to refuse, and said, "Don't make things easy."
"I know."
Liu Qianqian frowned.
It stands to reason.
She had not returned to the country to see her elders for a long time, so she should not refuse her father-in-law's kindness.
But
"Dad, how about I get up early tomorrow and let's go hiking together?" Thinking that her father-in-law would have a rest tomorrow, Liu Qianqian clapped her hands briskly.
"Okay, okay, climbing is good." Lao Xiang nodded with a smile from ear to ear.
My daughter-in-law is still considerate.
How could he be like this brat who could count on his fingers the number of times he had climbed Xiangshan Mountain with him when he grew up?
"Then I'll have a good rest today and recharge myself." After saying that, he looked at his son again and asked:
"What did I ask you just now? You didn’t answer me?”
Xiang Yang was stunned, what did you ask me just now?
After a few seconds, he smiled and said, “I don’t even want to support you. Isn’t it reasonable for others not to see it?”
"Hey, don't say that. I'm helping you out at work today. When they come to me with the movie tickets, I'll reimburse them."
Lao Xiang said, taking his bulging wallet from He took it out from his police uniform, slapped it on the table, and said with a smile:
"When the time comes, Sissi's movie will be released, and I will go and support it."
"Dad, here we are. I'll invite you to see it then." Liu Qianqian smiled happily. She liked Xiangyang's parents' simple but heartwarming behavior.
Because it’s very real.
"Let me tell you something quietly, your mother-in-law was also recruiting people from her workplace to support your movie last night." Lao Xiang said, the smile on his face getting wider.
"It's not mine." Liu Qianqian covered her mouth and said with a chuckle: "Dad, this movie belongs to my friend."
"What's your friend's is yours."
Almost at the same time.
QQ group.
Early in the morning, many people were also discussing enthusiastically.
"Friends in Shangjing, did you form a group today and spend 40 yuan to go to the cinema to watch "The Piano"?"
"Brother Yang, why don't you organize a kick-off today? Is there a ball?”
“Why don’t you play football? For a change, I’m going to cultivate my sentiments today and see if I’m on the right track with my sister-in-law.”
“It’s for cultivating our sentiments. Watching a movie? Don’t you want to fall in love?”
"Shit! Stop talking nonsense, do you want to go?"
"Go, the football ladies said this movie is good, can I support it?"
Two sports fans were chatting, A netizen in the group who was also in Beijing but was just a simple fan of Liu Qianqian asked:
"Are you going to support "The Piano of Steel"? Can you count me in?"
"Count me in, count me in, I'm going to take a look today. If it doesn't look good, I can avoid it in the future."
"Yes, everyone said that Sissi is going to make a movie, and it is probably of this type. So I might as well experience it first, so as not to waste my money later."
"Anyone in the family can give me an idea? My dad insisted on taking him to see a movie recommended by my wife Liu Qianqian, no matter what the newspaper said.”
“It’s over, and my mother also shouted to go see it. She was still talking about it in the morning. It was hard to make money at that time. Brothers and sisters in the group, is it true?"
"My mother was laid off at that time. What impressed me most was..."
"There were also There are many people who make money just like those who sell fake medicines in movies.”
"Has anyone watched "Inception" together?"
"I made an appointment with my girlfriend to watch "The Hawthorn Tree". Next time Liu Qianqian's movie is released, I will support it."
“This movie has so few schedules.”
“.”
It’s very strange.
Such discussions do not only occur in the QQ group of Liu Qianqian fans.
In some QQ groups dedicated to talking about sports, such discussions are more intense.
In particular, in the group of the Serie A club that had just been involved with Xiangyang some time ago, many people who were used to making appointments for a football match on weekends were talking about whether they should go to the cinema to support the movie.
They are not targeting Liu Qianqian or "The Piano of Steel".
But simply, I want to support Xiang Yang.
"If you don't go and I don't go, when will Xiang Yang raise his head?"
"Brothers, 40 yuan is a lot of money, but it's not much. The media said that Xiang Yang was wrong this time. Once he is held accountable, everyone will stop worrying about the club’s affairs.”
“Haha, I don’t have to spend money. But according to the gossip, the club’s affairs are private. I have really mentioned it. I have a friend in the bank who said that Anta is going to make a big move. "Really? Are you really going to buy a club?"
“Has anyone said which luxury brand to buy?”
"This is really possible. Didn't you see that Xiang Yang went to AC Milan with the boss of Anta? Lao Bei's son and daughter don't seem to like football."
"Oh no! It can't be AC!" What about my big Inter!"
"."
"Honey, look, can you recognize me like this?"
Liu Qianqian concluded. Experience, I changed my look again today.
"It's hard to say."
Xiang Yang, who felt that no matter how Liu Qianqian dressed up, she could be recognized by others at a glance, spread out his hands and said, "Why don't you go buy a cup of coffee with me first? If the clerk doesn't I might recognize you."
"Just drink coffee."
Liu Qianqian muttered and ran to the mirror again.
I have become a mother.
Can't take any time off
