I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 181 breaks the record in film history!
November 11, China Film Studio Shooting Base.

Han Sanpin had his hands on his hips, looking at a guy wearing glasses in front of him who was directing the show.

"Ok!"

"Okay, take a break!"

Lu Chuan was wearing a hat and shouting into a walkie-talkie.

Han Sanpin frowned slightly: "Xiaolu, your requirements are a bit loose, have you just passed this round?"

"Third Master!"

Lu Chuan leaned close to Han Sanping's ear and whispered, "This actor is Li Xiaowan's son!"

"What happened to her son?"

Li Xiaowan is one of the three founders of Li Shaohong and Rong Xinda, and a well-known agent in the Beijing circle.

I grew up in the Beijing Film Studio. My mother is a director and my father is a production director.

Because she was spotted by Chen Kaige's father Chen Huaikai and became his assistant, she started to work in the entertainment industry and became more and more famous.

"It's not that there's something wrong with his son, it's just that he's just at this level..."

Han Sanpin: “…”

"So you know my difficulties!"

Lu Chuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Han Sanpin.

For Lu Chuan, Han Sanpin can be said to be his mentor and a person who recognizes and supports him.

Because he invested in his debut film, "Looking for a Gun".

After the movie was finally released, many people said that it was directed by Jiang Wen, because he was banned from directing and became the leading actor. Lu Chuan was said to have been scolded badly by Jiang Wen on the crew, and he suffered a psychological trauma after filming, which triggered his best skill - crying on the spot.

There was even a book published specifically criticizing Jiang Wen for being a good-for-nothing and saying that he often changed the scripts he wrote during filming.

Of course Lu Chuan is good at this kind of thing, because later generations have verified more than once that this guy is two-faced, saying one thing, thinking another, and doing another behind the scenes.

"An actor will come over in a few days, and it won't be difficult for you!"

Han Sanpin smoked the cigarette that Lu Chuan lit for him and smiled slightly.

"Oh?"

Lu Chuan grinned: "Which actor?"

"Chen Jin, do you know him?"

"I think I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it..."

Lu Chuan was racking his brains, and just as Han Sanpin was about to introduce him, the cell phone on his waist rang.

He quickly put the cigarette in his mouth, took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was Chen Haibo, the scheduling director of China Film.

"Old Chen!"

Han Sanpin walked aside and answered the phone.

"Third Master, the pre-sales of Zhang Yimou's new film are going crazy!"

"what happened?"

Han Sanpin hasn't had time to watch the news these days.

It took me a while to realize that Chen Haibo was talking about Chen Jin's "Love Is Not Blind"!
"Pre-sale has exceeded 500 million!"

"500?"

Han Sanpin thought he had heard it wrong: "How many days?"

"It's been less than 4 days. Someone from the cinema just sent me a message saying that if things go well today, we might be able to reach 700 million!"

“Pre-sales are doubling every day!”

"..."

Is it so outrageous?

What does a 700 million pre-sale mean?
For movies released in China, no matter whether they are imported or domestically produced, this number can rank among the top five in terms of pre-sale box office.

The key is that it will be released in less than 3 days.

“This is going to break the pre-sale record!”

Han Sanpin said in surprise.

"It should be about to break through. At this rate of increase, it will break 10 million tomorrow. Aftershock just broke 1,000!"

1035 million!
The total pre-sale box office of "Aftershock", and it was fake.

The purpose was to break the 900 million record of "Avatar", and the box office on the first day also broke "Avatar". The box office should have been manipulated in the same way, except that the midnight show did not blow away the movie.

“How come there is such a high pre-sale?”

Han Sanpin didn't understand.

This is totally unscientific. Even with Zhang Yimou as the producer, it is impossible to have such an effect.

The pre-sale of Lao Zhang’s own “The Hawthorn Tree” was only 300 million.

This is all aimed at breaking the pre-sale box office record.

"It seems to be Internet marketing, cooperating with the popular group buying websites and Taobao!"

"Audiences can buy tickets directly online, which is very convenient and cheaper than offline!"

As Chen Haibo was talking, Han Sanpin's eyes narrowed. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and blew out smoke rings: "Then I'll ask Zhang Yimou what the situation is later!"

"Well, then, Third Master, how do we arrange this film schedule?"

"We gave 35% before, and with this pre-sale, the theater chain is ready to increase the number of screenings!"

Generally speaking, no matter how popular a movie is, it is impossible for it to be scheduled for more than 50% on the first day. This is the red line set by the Film Bureau!
The main purpose is to protect other films released in the same period so that they will not be left without any screenings.

Therefore, 35% is already a very high number of screenings, and it is also due to the fact that the film is produced by Zhang Yimou.

The main reason is that there are no new movies during Double Eleven, so the screening schedule can be filled up.

But now, due to the pre-sale, many theaters obviously have higher expectations, so it is obviously right to increase the screening schedule.

If other movies don’t make money, then we’ll definitely give it to the most profitable one.

“Go ahead and try to increase it to 49%!”

"Communicate with the theater chain..."

"it is good!"

In the future, the screening schedule cannot exceed 50%, unless the movie is very popular at the box office, then corresponding policies will be issued and exceptions will be made, such as "Lost in Thailand" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Lost in Thailand" reached a maximum of 55.4%, and "Wolf Warrior 2" was even more outrageous, at 61.3%!

“Can pre-sale exceed 10 million?”

Han Sanpin hung up the phone, still somewhat doubting his life.

After a pause, he put out the cigarette and sent a message to Zhang Yimou.

After a while, Zhang Yimou called.

"Yimou, what's the situation with Chen Jin's movie?"

Han Sanpin asked with a frown.

Zhang Yimou knew that Han Sanpin would call him, but he didn't expect it would be three days later. He thought the other party would be alarmed the next day.

"Haha, Third Master, you haven't watched the news these days, right?"

"No, I'm busy with social events and filming!" "That's normal. The whole internet has been talking about this movie these past two days. The Double Eleven holiday is so popular!"

Zhang Yimou spoke concisely.

Then, without waiting for Han Sanpin to ask, he told Han Sanpin some things about "Love Is Not Blind".

At first, Han Sanpin just listened very seriously, but at the end, his expression, which had not shown any joy on his face for a long time as he had been in a high position, finally showed a hint of movement.

He was really shocked by Chen Jin's actions.

"Next, the cooperation between cinemas and group-buying websites will probably be very close!"

"It is definitely more convenient to buy movie tickets in this way than offline!"

“Many moviegoers are reluctant to go to the cinema to buy tickets, but if you buy online, you can do it with just a click of the mouse!”

You know what, Zhang Yimou tried it himself and was shocked.

After registration, you can quickly deduct money by binding your bank card, and you can also receive a redemption code on your mobile phone.

Just take it to the cinema to redeem it.

"Moreover, it can be predicted that the box office will have a huge increase!"

Since it is more convenient to buy tickets, of course there will be more audiences.

This is a truth that you can understand if you think about it for a while.

"This kid came up with all these ideas?"

Han Sanpin asked in surprise.

"Yes, it was his idea. It happened to be a celebration party. Mr. Xiong also gave a lot of suggestions!"

"The marketing was planned by the two of them together, and the main one was Chen Jin!"

"Brain!"

Han Sanpin sighed, which was rare, and said with a smile: "Look, this is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. There are top scorers in every field, and top scorers come to every field to bring about reform!"

"The film industry really needs someone to come up with some good ideas. This is great, it connects the Internet and cinemas directly!"

"Haha~~"

Zhang Yimou smiled. In fact, he also admired Chen Jin's brain.

What a genius!
For such a low-budget movie, after such a series of publicity and promotion, the pre-sales have reached over 10 million.

This has never happened before in the history of Chinese cinema.

Even Zhang Yimou was amazed after watching it.

Zhang Weiping even called him several times and asked him to ask Chen Jin for some share of the profit from being named as the producer.

Of course Zhang Yimou would not bother to do such a thing.

Zhang Weiping was extremely jealous and was already looking through Chen Jin's contract to see if he could get any benefits from it.

He has already set his sights on the TV drama rights to Love Is Not Blind.

This is what he has always done.

The movie became a hit, and the TV series rights were sold at a high price.

It's a complete waste of money.

"Okay, let's stop here!"

"I'll discuss this with the theater chain and try to schedule more screenings!"

"Then I will thank you, Master San, on his behalf!"

"The cinema chain should thank him for giving them an extra holiday season. What is it called?"

"Singles' Day, right?"

Han Sanpin laughed loudly: "Interesting, Double Eleven, Singles' Day?"

When talking about this, Han Sanpin recalled the expression on Chen Jin's face when he told him about this festival that day.

At that time, he thought this marketing idea was good, but he would never have imagined that it would have the pre-sale results it has today.

All I can say is that the top scholar... is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

At first he thought that this idea was only worth tens of millions, and it would only be effective if Zhang Yimou was brought in.

Unexpectedly, I was too narrow-minded.

"I guess... this can be achieved in one day on Double Eleven, right?"

Han Sanpin hung up the phone with Zhang Yimou and muttered to himself.

***
"cheers!"

At a barbecue stall near Beijing Film Academy in the evening, Guo Xun and a few others excitedly raised their wine glasses and clinked them with each other.

720 million!
Until 1 second ago.

This is the box office revenue of "Love Is Not Blind" after nearly 33 days of pre-sale.

It is currently ranked third in Chinese film pre-sales, second only to "Avatar" and "Aftershock", and it is foreseeable that these two films will become a thing of the past tomorrow.

China will welcome a new movie pre-sale champion - "Love Is Not Blind"!
This is a record that no one here, even Chen Jin, had ever thought of.

too frightening.

Chen Jin thought that the combination of group buying and Internet ticket purchase would be terrifying, with pre-sales in the future easily reaching 10 billion or 5 million. But he never expected that in 2010, it would have such a strong destructive power.

The Internet can indeed change all walks of life.

The film industry will also usher in the beginning of a rapid development because of this movie.

"I can't even imagine how much our movie will do at the box office after it's released."

Wan Qian's eyes were a little blurry, full of a hint of charm. She raised her wine glass and looked at Chen Jin beside her with a smile.

She was wearing a light young woman's close-fitting sweater and short skirt, and even black stockings and high heels, which made her look extremely aggressive; the key point was that she was sitting with one thigh lifted up, and it was swaying slightly as she raised the wine glass.

If the high heels fall off a little more, the picture will be extremely charming. This is the time when a 28-year-old woman is the most charming.

"Brother Jin, how can I thank you?"

“I feel like I’m going to be famous!”

Wan Qian suddenly moved closer to Chen Jin, and Chen Jin regretted not asking Zhu Yanmanzi to come out and get together.

The main reason was that he was really afraid of being photographed by paparazzi while having dinner outside.

But this scene is actually more dangerous.

But this guy was not forgiving at all: "How about Sister Wan pledge herself to me?"

Fortunately, Chen Jin said this very softly, and Guo Xun and Gong Geer didn't hear it because of the noise. It is estimated that only Wan Qian heard it.

"Promise yourself?"

"Hahaha, do you dare?"

"I don't mind an old cow eating young grass~~"

Wan Qian suddenly laughed, stroked Chen Jin's face lightly with her finger, then drank the wine in the glass, looking at Chen Jin without blinking.

"What am I afraid of!"

In fact, Chen Jin was also very panicked when he said this.

But men, don’t be a coward!
