Chapter 97: The Raging Bouquet
More than half a month after its release, the single-day box office of Bouquet has been fluctuating around 1 million, and it can’t go up or down.
Just when everyone thought the bouquet would be like this until the movie was released.
An accident happened.
The box office of Bouquet on May 16 is released, with a box office of 3.1 million!
On May 17, the box office soared again, 4.8 million!
In the third weekend, the total box office on Friday, Saturday and Sunday reached an astonishing 9.3 million!
After three weeks of release, the box office on the third weekend was even higher than the first weekend.
In the era of rampant piracy, no mainland movie has ever done this!
“The mainland has exceeded 20 million...”
The first reaction of the mountain eagle was to buy the box office!
However, upon further investigation, it turns out that instead of buying box office tickets, Dadi Cinemas gave away all the prime spots in all its theaters to Flower Bouquet.
The venue was packed with people!
Moreover, many theaters under the three major movie theater chains of China Film Holdings are showing it secretly.
"What's going on? The bouquet has no special effects, and watching piracy online has no impact!" The mountain eagle touched his head, confused.
Call the secretary and ask him to call the managers of the three major theater chains of China Film Group into the room.
On closer inquiry, there are no online pirated copies of the bouquet.
Zuo Shandiao didn’t believe it. When he opened a few pirated websites, he found that it wasn’t that they were gone, but that the loading speed was too slow and the website was stuck.
The broadband he uses is optical fiber!
I haven’t been stuck watching pirated versions for a long time...
He asked his secretary to try Thunder seeds again, but all the seeds were invalid...
Not giving up, he used Baidu to search for pirated versions of Bouquet.
You won’t know if you don’t search, but you will be surprised if you search.
Click one of the pirated websites on the homepage, and it jumps to a garbled page, and then click another one, and it still jumps to a garbled page, and you can’t watch it...
Then, the regular videos that are usually pirated On the website, there are no movies about Bouquet, but a search will show the behind-the-scenes of Bouquet.
The mountain eagle smiled and said, "Good guy, this guy is so ruthless! In order to get a good box office, he has united so much capital, and Baidu is willing to help."
"Mr. Han...are you still there?" Haven't you seen the behind-the-scenes of the bouquet?" a theater manager whispered.
"What's there to see?" the mountain eagle said casually.
"You'd better go to Tudou.com to take a look...The number of clicks is so scary..."
Han Sanping frowned slightly, moved the mouse and clicked on Tudou.com. The home page was designed to be just tidbits, or... A big poster...
"Where can I see this number of clicks?"
The secretary heard this and said, "You have to search."
Mountain Eagle searched for it, and then under the guidance of the secretary, he saw the bouquet highlights The number of clicks, a long list of numbers, "One tidbit actually has more than 10 million clicks..."
"It seems to be a total of 130 million clicks..." the secretary said doubtfully.
“This is just Tudou...Other websites are also very high. Not counting piracy websites, there are about 400 million in the entire network, right?” said a cinema manager.
The mountain eagle nodded, "I have an idea. In order to build momentum, I even bought the data of the video website. I don't know how much it cost."
Managers of the three major theater chains, you look at me, I look at you I hope you will not explain, but suggest that the mountain eagle take a look.
The mountain eagle asked the secretary to light the catkins, then picked up the tea cup and drank it.
Ten minutes later...
The mountain eagle said: "This tidbit is a bit interesting, quite fun." Twenty minutes later...
The mountain eagle said: "This is a variety show."
Thirty minutes later...
The mountain eagle waved his hand and motioned to the secretary to send the tidbits After turning it off and pondering for a long time, he looked at the managers of the three major theater chains.
“This featurette is very creative, very joyful, and very stress-relieving. Young people should like it very much...” Zuo Shandiao shook his head and said: “I still say what I said, not to show it. China Film’s responsibility is not to make profits. But to prop up the entire market.”
"Too high box office is not a good thing... He is too young, and the trees are more beautiful than the trees, and the wind will destroy them. His actions are higher than others, and the crowd will reject him..."
The words of a mountain eagle, Naturally, I told it to the managers of the three major theater chains.
The managers of the three major theater chains naturally know what the mountain eagle thinks. They are originally eating from the public family, so it doesn’t matter, but many of the theaters below are private, and they will do anything to make money...
They didn’t want to be scolded later, so they came to China Film Academy to see the mountain eagle today.
The managers of the three major theater chains thought that Zuo Shandiao had finished speaking and were about to leave.
The mountain eagle suddenly said: "How much box office do you think this film can get now if it is not affected by the film schedule at the beginning and is scheduled normally?"
"How can I put it, even if it is scheduled normally, I won't be able to get the bouquet." How many films have been scheduled, Nanjing is in the front, and Wolverine is in the back. "
"The main thing about the bouquet is that Xuanfa did a good job. The company prepared a thousand copies and paid for them to be sent to theaters. Li Mingyang did the publicity. People are dazzled by the combination boxing, especially the road shows where they really go all out, three or four times a day.”
“Mr. Han, you also know that movie theaters are relying on state subsidies to survive, and the attendance rate is very low, even if it is a popular one. For a movie, it’s good if it can be watched by twenty or thirty people at a time. Some movies even have only one or two people at a time... His roadshows are sold out, and it’s so profitable..."
"Magic Dadi Cinema in Dudu, Wanda Cinema in Yanbei, that one in Guangzhou...China Film and Television Cinema, these three all offer half-price tickets, and they also come with T-shirts. One ticket costs ten or twenty yuan, and a bouquet. Moviegoers are going to these three stores, and the theaters have been sold out since last week, and they made a lot of money..."
The theater manager who was speaking saw that the mountain eagle had a strange look on his face and quickly stopped talking.
"I'm asking about the box office, what are you talking about with me? You tell me one by one!" the mountain eagle said angrily.
"About 30 million..."
"35 million."
"I think it may not exceed 10 million..." The theater manager who spoke After a pause, he said, "You are motivated only when you are under pressure. If he could arrange the films normally, he might not work so hard and do so many operations... High-definition piracy has swept the Internet. Others would have accepted their fate and waited to die. He is different." , directly adjusted the road show from three to four, and flew to Guangzhou after Yanbei, and then to Shanghai after flying to Guangzhou.”
Zuo Shandiao felt that what his subordinates said made sense. The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Many excellent movies were born under extremely difficult circumstances, such as Ning Hao, whom he was optimistic about.
"How effective is the road show?" Zuoshandiao asked.
"Others may not be able to do it, but he can. He can understand the emotions of young people, especially female students... He is particularly good at making misfortune. His mouth is so eloquent that he can even make female fans cry... ...My scalp goes numb when I think about that scene."
"What did you say?" Zuo Shandiao frowned.
“Actually, it’s nothing. It’s mainly due to the difficulties in planning and filming. It didn’t discredit domestic movies. I actually didn’t feel anything about it, but those women actually cried... A few people cried at first, and then they started crying. After a while, he sang again, and the singing was so unpleasant. I felt that I was better at singing than him, but those girls just loved it. Those who didn’t know it thought it was a solo concert.”
The mountain eagle smiled knowingly, feeling suddenly a little disappointed and regretful.
It would have been better if he had not shown the script to Feng Pants. Good scripts are hard to find, and good directors are even rarer.
But there is no if.
Even if he never does, he will still give the script to the director who is the best storyteller in the country.
Who would have thought that a young man could be so capable.
As a directing student at Beijing Film Academy, he may hesitate.
But there are only a few actors in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy. Do you expect to make movies with your face?
