Chapter 319: Your Name was released, ranking first at the box office on its first day in film history
On December 10, Your Name was released nationwide.
On December 11, at 3 p.m., China Film Group announced that the first-day box office (including spot screenings) of the new film Your Name was 61 million.
About ten minutes later, the Film Bureau also announced that the first-day box office of Your Name was 61 million.
The Orphan of Zhao broke the first-day record and became the first-day box office number one in domestic film history.
For a time, the whole network was shocked and the industry was a sensation.
No one expected that your name would hit such a ridiculous box office.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door.
Your Name grossed 61 million at the box office.
The box office of Zhao Guhe Xiaoxiao did not suffer much impact. The combined total box office of the two movies still exceeded 40 million.
The entire movie box office that day exceeded 100 million!
This is the highest-grossing day for a domestic movie in history, and it is almost touching the theoretical single-day box office ceiling.
According to the 40% film schedule, even if every venue with your name is sold out, the 100% attendance rate cannot reach 60 million.
But the actual situation is that your name not only did it, but also broke the ceiling.
There will definitely be voices of doubt.
But no one in the film industry dared to question it publicly because it was jointly announced by China Film and Film Bureau.
"Damn! After all this time, I still admit it."
Li Mingyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, happily picked up the wine glass, and met Wang, who was also nervous and turned pale. Changtian, drank happily.
"This is all open. If you can't win the annual crown, let alone the mountain eagle, I won't agree either." Wang Changtian put down his wine glass and said seriously.
“I can only say that I will try my best.”
"Try your best?" Wang Changtian's eyes sternly said, "Trying your best is not enough. I spent all my money on your box office and spent 20 million to get it."
"You just spent 20 million. , others have spent at least 70 million on publicity expenses, how can I pay for it? I will try my best, and no one will have any regrets..." Li Mingyang shook his head.
"What have you prepared? Tell me quickly, time is the box office." Wang Changtian said anxiously.
Li Mingyang lit a cigarette and spoke his plan in a leisurely manner.
Wang Changtian nodded while listening. When Li Mingyang finished speaking, he suddenly reacted.
Li Mingyang's so-called efforts.
I try my best to get everyone to burn money together!
Whoever can’t afford the fire should get out!
Last time the winner was king, this time the winner is king!
……
On October 26, 2010, Huace was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The issue price was 68 yuan per share. As soon as the market opened, the stock price rose in a straight line at 90 degrees to 131 yuan per share, and finally closed at 127.8 yuan per share. The market value exceeded 7 billion, making it the number one TV drama stock.
Becomes the second privately-owned film and television company to be listed in China.
On December 9, 2010, Bernard Pictures, which positioned its development goal as "China's Paramount", was successfully listed on NASDAQ in the United States, becoming the first domestic film and television company to be listed in the United States. .
CEO Yu Dong said with tears in his eyes that day, "To be able to be listed on Nasdaq today, first of all, we must thank us for living in such a great era, and thank the rapid development of the domestic film industry for making our dream come true. ”
Bernard Pictures officially landed on NASDAQ in the United States, becoming the first domestic film and television company listed in the United States.
Bernard went public, but the good times did not last long, really not long.
Bernard Pictures fell below the issue price on the day of listing, and the opening price was US$8.50, which was the same as the issue price.
The closing price of the IPO on the first day was US$6.58, a drop of US$1.92, or 22.6%.
The market value was only US$470 million.
Raised approximately US$94 million.
And this US$94 million will be the only money Bernard will raise in the future.
No matter how high the total box office of Bernard's domestically released movies is, no one is willing to pay.
I can’t raise capital.
Finally, the privatization was completed in 2016 and it was listed in China.
He imagined that he could be as beautiful as Guang Guang and Huayi. However, Yu Dong never imagined that Bernard's road back to China to go public would be so difficult and tragic.
First, LeTV encountered a thunderstorm, and the popularity of the film and television industry subsided.
Encountered another yin-yang contract and tax audit turmoil.
Finally made it to the end and became the only one to survive in line.
In 2019, Ruihua Accounting Firm was investigated for fraud and its listing was suspended.
During this period, the A-share film and television media sector has experienced many drastic changes, and it is no longer as diverse as it was back then.
All film and television companies have been hit hard to varying degrees.
Then 2020 comes!
Vice President Bernard couldn't bear it anymore and jumped...
Then a month later, the theater resumed work, and Bernard submitted the prospectus again.
Then after waiting for another two years, in 2022, Bernard was finally listed on the A-share market.
On the day of listing, the market value reached nearly 10 billion, and then only fell to more than 5 billion.
It might as well have been sold to Penguin or Alibaba...
Bernard is like a potato in the video industry. He got up early and rushed to the late market, which made the shareholders feel miserable.
Of course, Yu Dong is still very happy now. Although the stock has broken, he is still full of confidence.
In the face of media reporters, he was confident in his words and launched many big projects impassionedly.
On the third day of Bona’s listing.
On December 12, 2010, Enlight Media was listed on the GEM of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The issue price per share is 85.2 yuan. As early as October today, Ray's prospectus disclosed Li Mingyang's 5% stake.
That's far lower than anyone predicted.
Before the prospectus was disclosed, many people speculated that Enlight should give Li Mingyang at least 10% of the shares in order for Li Mingyang to give up Youku and unswervingly be tied to Enlight.
However, there are actually not that many.
Just when many media were speculating whether Ray Ray’s stock price would break, Ray Ray’s stock price once exceeded 120 yuan! The final closing price was 112.5 yuan, and the market value exceeded 11 billion.
Huayi’s market value is 16.9 billion!
He owns half of the entertainment industry's popular artists and many big directors, as well as the box office king Feng Pants.
Besides Li Mingyang, Guangguang only has a group of third- and fourth-tier artists and a few hosts.
People haven’t had time to marvel at how crazy the market value of Ray is.
At 11 o'clock that night, China Film announced that as of 2 o'clock at noon on the 12th, the box office of Your Name exceeded 100 million, setting a record for the fastest box office of a Chinese-language film to exceed 100 million.
The next day, Enlight issued a major announcement, making Li Mingyang’s billion dollar gambling contract public.
Not long after the announcement was made, RayLight’s stock price skyrocketed.
For a time, Enlight became the most prestigious film and television company in domestic entertainment. Because of Enlight’s listing, Li Mingyang’s income from Enlight’s stock alone was as high as 600 million, including the income from Youku’s listing.
Li Mingyang’s net worth has exceeded one billion.
Become the first director in domestic entertainment to earn one billion.
On the GEM, Guangguang’s market value soared.
In the movie market, your name has topped the charts for three consecutive days.
Everything is going in the right direction.
While Li Mingyang was happy, he also felt full of malice from his competitors.
Your Name’s Douban score is only 5.1!
It has a poor reputation across the entire network. It was maliciously lowered by trolls and promoted by marketing accounts. Even well-known screenwriters and film critics in the industry came to slander and snipe the film.
Due to word-of-mouth issues, Laughing Outland lacked stamina and ranked at the bottom of the box office among the three blockbusters released.
But the achievement of breaking 200 million in ten days far exceeded expectations. Zhao Dashan was already satisfied. With the investment of 25 million and the Maoyan subsidy, a total of 75 million votes have been used up.
Zhao Dashan and Bernard stopped watching the show, so naturally it couldn't have been them.
The reputation of Orphans of Zhao is better than that of Laughter. Although the Douban score is 6.3, the film critics praised it very much. Shanghai Film Group also voted for it and took advantage of its geographical advantage.
Now I am inseparable from your name.
Li Mingyang felt that Shanghai Film Group had also taken action, but not much. At most, they were just following the trend.
The main players who blackmail him are Yinghuang and Huayi.
On the evening of December 14, Li Mingyang had just finished his road show at Hangzhou Xingmei International Cinema when he received a call from Zhong Xiaoyu.
"Boss, I just received news that someone is spending a lot of money to start with you and completely ruin your name's reputation." Zhong Xiaoyu said on the phone.
Li Mingyang hummed, "Can you find out who it is?"
"Can't find it...the other party doesn't want to say anything."
"I think they want money. These sailors are really unethical."
"Then give it or not?"< br>
“No.”
It is normal for a movie to be hacked as soon as it is released.
There is no perfect movie. As long as it catches a few points or one point to go crazy and arouse public outrage, no matter how excellent the movie is, it will be powerless.
For example, retrograde life.
From a movie point of view, this is a movie above the standard, but before it was released, it was criticized by the entire Internet, and Xu Guangtou was grabbed and violently criticized.
“Traffic passwords are used by people at the bottom!”
“The poor pay to watch the rich act themselves.”
"Celebrities like Xu Zheng can no longer imagine what life is like for people at the bottom."
"The delivery boy wants to serve with a smile? This is simply out of touch with life and into the atmosphere."
Careful people guided public opinion, coupled with Xu Guangtou's popularity, due to the embarrassing mother incident, Zhang Chen's business cooperation disputes, transfer of assets, etc... it collapsed again and again, quickly arousing public outrage.
Faced with overwhelming abuse, no matter how much money Baldy Xu spent on publicity, he was still unable to do anything, and the film failed miserably at the box office.
“Don’t worry about this matter and continue marketing according to the original idea.”
"Yes."
Li Mingyang hung up the phone and turned to look at the people in the car. Ye Xiangdong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, fell asleep. Jing Tian, who sat next to him, fell asleep. Hu Ge, Qiao Shan, and Peter Ho were all asleep.
Only Li Mingyang and the driver Wu Zhikui were awake in the whole car.
The situation in other cars is similar.
For five consecutive days in the magic city of Hangzhou, there were at least four road shows every day. Even Li Mingyang, who had strengthened his body, felt tired, let alone the others.
Except for the driver, everyone almost slept as soon as they got in the car and performed on the road when they got off.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, a group of people arrived at the hotel where they were staying. They had a quick bite in the restaurant, then parted ways and went back to their rooms to rest.
This was also the first time for Jing Tian to perform such a high-intensity road show. His peach-blossom eyes couldn't muster the energy. As soon as he entered the room, he fell into bed and fell asleep.
Li Mingyang was also very sleepy, but he couldn't sleep yet.
Tomorrow is the premiere of Let the Bullets Fly and If You Are the One 2.
The day after tomorrow, two movies will be released.
There is not much time left for him to grab the box office.
