My idol is myself

Chapter 144 Box Office on the First Day 【Ask for Monthly Pass】

Under the overwhelming publicity campaign on the Internet, the first-day box office of "The Trickster" is also surging. Many people saw that Xu Wenruo's new movie has been released, and it is a light-hearted and funny comedy. Many people want to watch it. look.

Xu Wenruo, who returned home, received the news from Xingxun Films at noon the next day. Mr. Wang notified Xu Wenruo in a trembling tone.

"Director Xu, do you know what the box office of our movie was on the first day?"

Listening to Mr. Wang's slightly trembling tone, Xu Wenruo actually already had a guess in his heart, and his grades must be good, otherwise Mr. Wang would not be so excited.

"One hundred million?"

Xu Wenruo simply guessed a number, and the goal in his heart is only [-] million. If the box office on the first day can reach [-] million, then the box office in the first week can exceed [-] million, and the final box office can reach the small goal of [-] billion.

"No! It's 5000 million! The box office is 5000 million! Our movie is going to be a hit!"

Two hundred and forty million!
Xu Wenruo was also shocked when he heard this number. Even though he usually didn't seem to care about money, when such a large number was placed in front of him, Xu Wenruo would inevitably have some fluctuations in his heart.

You must know that the total investment of Xu Wenruo's film is only 5000 million, and Xu Wenruo accounted for 5000% of it. Normally, [-] million is considered to recover the cost.

In other words, Xu Wenruo not only recovered the cost of the movie just one day after its release, but also made a small profit, and this was just the beginning. The future box office will be all net profits, and now it will make a lot of money.

Based on the first-day box office of 5000 million, it is only a matter of time before the movie's box office exceeds 20 billion. If the reputation does not collapse and the number of films does not drop significantly, then the movie's box office can hit [-] billion. mark.

You must know that the highest domestic box office record at this time was only 30 billion, and there were only a few movies worth 20 billion, and each one was a phenomenal movie.

Xu Wenruo's first movie was able to enter the 20 billion box office club. How can this not make people feel excited, but Xu Wenruo still maintains a calm mind while being excited in his heart.

"How's the word-of-mouth of the film? How's the theater's attendance rate? What about the number of films scheduled?"

Xu Wenruo asked Mr. Wang several questions in succession. Even so, Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone was still cheerful. Even if he couldn't see his face, Xu Wenruo could feel the joy in his heart.

"The word-of-mouth of the movie is not a problem. It got a high score of 8.4 as soon as it was released yesterday. Not only has it not declined, but it is still on the rise."

"As for the attendance rate, it's even better. Yesterday's average attendance rate reached 70.00%, and some theaters even reached a sky-high attendance rate of 90.00%."

"Alas, the number of films scheduled in our theaters is still too small, otherwise the box office on the first day would have been higher."

Mr. Wang had to look forward to Shu. He was still expecting to win 5000 million at the box office. Now that the score has reached [-] million, he is still a little dissatisfied. He began to complain about the public relations department of Xingxun Pictures. If they can be better, the first day Box office should be better.

"The current results are already very good. Don't mention the previous things again. I will sum up the lessons later. Just don't make mistakes in the next movie. We should look forward now."

"That's right, we have to look at the money. This time we may make a lot of money. Now I can feel proud in the head office. All of this is thanks to Director Xu. We will cooperate more in the future."

Mr. Wang suddenly started to compliment Xu Wenruo, and his tone was flattering. Xu Wenruo understood what he meant. After the box office on the first day, Xu Wenruo's identity was no longer that unrelated rookie director.

As long as Xu Wenruo's movie can finally break through one billion yuan, Xu Wenruo will be a figure that cannot be ignored in the film and television industry in the future. Currently, there are not many directors who can direct a movie with a box office of more than one billion yuan, and it is even different for someone as young as Xu Wenruo.

It has been said before that Xu Wenruo's talent is limitless, but no one thought that Xu Wenruo would redeem his potential so quickly. The first film will enter the one billion box office club, and there is even hope of hitting the two billion club. .

For such a young director with strong personal strength, he can only choose to win him over. In the face of huge interests, it is nothing to be humbled.

"Xingxun has always been the primary partner of our studio. We used to share weal and woe as a friendship. I don't think Mr. Wang will turn his face and deny people after making money?"

"That's impossible. This kind of thing will never happen. We have always had a deep affection for Director Xu, and we hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

Hearing Xu Wenruo's reply, Mr. Wang was relieved a lot. Even though he knew that Xu Wenruo was a person who valued feelings and would not be complacent, but in the face of huge interests, Mr. Wang had to ask a question before he could feel at ease.

Xu Wenruo's movie will bring at least 2000 million in revenue to Xingxun Pictures in the future. They only invested [-] million. With a return rate of ten times, there is simply no investment more profitable than this.

This is only Xu Wenruo's first movie. If he can stand on Xu Wenruo's chariot in the future, he will make endless money. Thinking of this, Mr. Wang seems to have seen his promotion and salary increase.

“Do you know what the first-day box office of ‘The Tenant’ was?”

"1000 million and [-] million, their film schedule is more than ours, but the box office is twice as bad. I am already planning to send someone to discuss with the theaters. I will adjust the film schedule in the next few days. No matter what, I have to grab it. Some lineup."

"Sorry to trouble you, I have to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala these days."

"Don't bother, don't bother, this is my job, you don't have to worry, now that the movie has such a good momentum, I will definitely not hold back."

Mr. Wang has become very polite when talking to Xu Wenruo now. In just one day, Xu Wenruo's status has undergone a fundamental change. For such a change, Xu Wenruo has already expected it. Before he went from an ordinary person to a popular There have also been major changes among the idols, but Xu Wenruo quickly adapted to it.

Xu Wenruo's method of adapting to his new identity is very simple, that is, ignore the public opinion from the outside world and concentrate on doing what he likes. As long as his heart is strong enough, he can block the interference from the outside world.

Xu Wenruo is very curious about the situation of the movie "Happy Tenant", because this movie is his biggest rival in the Lunar New Year festival. Not only are they released on the same day, but they are also in similar genres. They are both light-hearted and funny comedies. .

But obviously, Xu Wenruo's "Tricky Expert" soared into the sky. Against this background, "Happy Tenant" seemed a little calm. After all, the price between 1000 million and 5000 million The gap is too big.

At this time, once in the high-end office building, actor Zhao Rui was also speechless, and his frowning expression did not have the demeanor of an actor at all.

"Are you sure? There is no statistical error in the box office. "The Tricky Expert" really has 5000 million yuan?"

"Really, such a small mistake is impossible to make. Besides, when I just asked, the major theater chains had already checked again and again, and there was no mistake."

Hearing the answer from the younger brother beside him, the forehead lines on Zhao Rui's forehead became deeper. It stands to reason that "Happy Tenants" had a box office of 1000 million on the first day, which is considered a very good result. The total box office of the movie can also hit the one billion mark.

But who let the opponent next door, "The Tricky Expert" be so against the sky, unexpectedly broke the box office of 5000 million on the first day, more than double their higher.

The most important thing is that "Happy Tenant" has more film schedules than "Tricky Expert".

Maybe there is no need for Star Pictures to come to the door, and those theater chains will make adjustments on their own. After all, businessmen are profit-seeking. "Tricky Expert" can make them a lot of money, and they will stand up to "Tricky Expert" unconditionally. 》Go over there.

Zhao Rui, the movie star, felt deeply about this, but when he thought that three blockbuster films would be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year a week later, Zhao Rui felt even more troubled.

There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and there is no room for him to live. Thinking of this, actor Zhao Rui feels a little hopeless. He just wants to make soy sauce in the Lunar New Year file, and hit his personal box office record of 100 billion. Why? will be so difficult.

Before, he followed big companies and enjoyed their benefits. He never faced the pressure of the Lunar New Year stalls. After setting up his own studio on the spot, he encountered so many difficulties as soon as he got on the Lunar New Year stalls. The stall is really not a place for people to stay.

"I'm going to get rid of my old face and talk to the theater owner again, and try to keep a little more film schedule, otherwise, after a week, we really have no way to survive."

After thinking about his situation carefully, Zhao Rui accepted his fate. He didn't want to break the record of 100 billion. It would be good to keep the box office as much as possible. After all, the distance to 100 billion is very close now, as long as he lives Long enough, breaking 100 billion is only a matter of time.

Huayi Media, in the high-rise office of the office building.

Qi Yuling and Chen Cheng were still sitting opposite each other. Qi Yuling read the document in her hand, and then looked at director Chen Cheng with a serious expression.

"How much is our film schedule?"

"40.00% three, and we can't talk about it any higher. After all, several other movies have to occupy a certain market share."

"It's not enough, we have to continue talking. How about this, you go and supervise the publicity work. I'll go and talk to them about the theater in person. If I come forward, they still have to give some face."

Chen Cheng nodded. He pondered for a moment, looked at Qi Yuling's serious expression, and chose to swallow the words that were on his lips. As an old friend who has cooperated for many years, Chen Cheng knew Qi Yuling very well.

This is a woman with a very strong character, her domineering character.It is difficult for ordinary people to get along with her, especially when she is angry, it is best not to provoke her in the end.

"What do you think of this movie "The Trickster"?"

Seeing Chen Cheng's hesitation to speak, Qi Yuling instead suppressed her emotions and chose to ask Chen Cheng back. After all, Chen Cheng is also a well-known director. No matter how angry Qi Yuling gets, she must figure out the level of her opponent.

Before, Qi Yuling didn't regard Xu Wenruo's small workshops and small studios as her opponents at all, and she always treated Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue with a very contemptuous attitude. Even if the previous ban failed, Qi Yuling did not treat them as an opponent.

In Qi Yuling's heart, Xu Wenruo and Qi Yue were just playing around and were not worthy of being her opponents at all, but just yesterday, she was suddenly shocked to find that Xu Wenruo had been able to threaten her unconsciously .

At present, Hua Yi's "Fengshen Ji" is led by her. If there is any problem, it may have an impact on her status. Although a large company has a lot of resources, the pressure of competition is also great, and it is very likely that it will be a step forward. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the bottomless abyss.

Although with Qi Yuling's status, she won't be devastated by the failure of a movie, but this can be regarded as a serious blow to her prestige.

Qi Yuling not only accepts this fact, but her prestige is hurt even more than killing her. You must know that all kinds of rumors about her have been circulating in the company before, and if she fails this time, she may become a laughing stock.

""The Tricky Expert" is a very mature commercial film. Even if the plot is simple, it does not affect its brilliance at all. This relaxed and funny style is fully utilized by him. Xu Wenruo really deserves the name of a talented man. This young man People really shouldn’t be underestimated.”

Chen Cheng mentioned that Xu Wenruo had a hint of appreciation in his eyes. As a director, he understood that despite the simple plot of "The Tricky Expert", it seems that there is no difficulty in shooting, but in fact those nonsensical ideas are the highlights of the play , the plot just serves as a window and frame, and the real selling point is the completely unexpected funny form.

But after Chen Cheng finished speaking, he saw Qi Yuling's cold eyes. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong, and praised Xu Wenruo in front of Qi Yuling. Didn't this old birthday star hang himself because he thought he lived too long?
"But this movie also has a very fatal shortcoming, that is, too much pursuit of being funny, resulting in no connotation of the movie, so it is difficult to bring deep feelings to the audience. Too profound an impact."

"I'm not asking you about these things, I wonder if this will affect our movie?"

"There will definitely be. This kind of mature commercial film is like popcorn. Although it doesn't matter how full it is, everyone can't refuse a piece of sweet popcorn, especially the one that's just out of the oven and full of fragrance."

　Sorry, something happened this morning, so I was delayed for a few hours and updated so late.
