"How much does this movie make at the box office?"

The man in the suit sitting at the main seat asked.

He is the president of Dongying Pictures, and he is very concerned about the box office revenue of this movie.

In his view, as long as the box office of this movie is not satisfactory, then they can find a reason to obtain the copyright of his other works on the premise of refusing Hiroto Akihara's box office share.

"At present, the most ideal state may only be about 2 million yen."

A middle-aged man stood up and replied: "Currently, they only have about 20 screens, which is very small."

"Isn't that a big loss?"

Someone laughed.

Generally speaking, the box office of a film must be more than three times the investment amount in order for the investor to reap the cost. After all, there is a considerable amount of expenditure to be handed over to theaters and other parties.

The number of screens released by Dong Ying Pictures in the past is basically between 100 and 200.

In terms of size, they don't like Akihara Hiroto's work.

"Have you guys seen this movie?"

At this moment, a calm female voice sounded.

When everyone heard this, they glanced at each other, and the woman who had just spoken stood up.

"I went to see this movie with my friends yesterday. I think it is very exciting and should not be underestimated."

In fact, after watching the movie in the cinema yesterday, she has been haunted by it.

Until now, she still occasionally thinks of that look in the last scene!

That look seemed to say that he was the murderer!

It seemed that no one would agree. For a moment, everyone in the meeting room showed surprised expressions.

The person who spoke was the director of the statistics department of Dongying Pictures. She can often predict the box office of many movies very accurately.

Could it be that the movie Hiroto Akihara is still a big hit?

Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became unnatural...

[301.Chapter 300 exceeds expected box office]

Hiroto Akihara knew nothing about Dongying Yinghua's conjecture.

At this time, he hurried to the office rented by the temporary crew, and met Aiko Asano who came back from outside.

After seeing him, Asano Aiko said excitedly, "Akihara, the box office is out on the first day."

Hiroto Akihara smiled, "Tell me, how many are there?"

Looking at Asano Aiko's expression, he vaguely guessed that it was good news.

Aiko Asano took a deep breath and said forcefully, "Yesterday's box office revenue totaled 350 million yen! Far exceeded our expectations!"

Akihara Hiroto didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he was startled and still slightly surprised.

The figure of more than 2000 million yen is nothing. After all, in terms of absolute amount, this result is not comparable to the first-day box office of other movies, and it is even only about one-tenth of some popular movies.

But to his surprise, this number exceeded his expectation by a full 1 times!

You know, he originally estimated that the box office would only be more than 1000 million yen.

He asked strangely: "Isn't it only released on more than 30 screens? Why is the box office so high?"

After "Memories of Murder" was filmed, Aiko Asano contacted some movie theaters in Tokyo.But the theater only valued profit, and didn't pay much attention to Akihara Hiroto's reputation.

After all, no matter how famous he is, he is not as good as the male and female stars of the movie to the audience.

So although 30 theaters were negotiated in the end, each theater only arranged one screen to test the waters of this movie.

Asano Aiko's expression became more excited, and she explained: "I asked some theater bosses,

They said that the movie "Memories of Murder" has aroused the interest of many audiences, so they increased the film schedule and increased the number of screens.

There were at least 40 screens screened yesterday!And a lot of midnight shows have been added! "

"Midnight show, isn't this time period garbage time?" Akihara Hiroto was a little puzzled.

In his impression, there are basically very few movies in the midnight show, and even a few people can book the show.

"Akihara, you're wrong. The movie "Memories of Murder" is the premiere after all! And its quality is better than other midnight movies, so it attracted a lot of viewers!"

Because of the excellent box office, Asano Aiko's pressure was reduced a lot, and she smiled very nicely,

"After the news came out, more than 10 theaters contacted me today, hoping to show this movie. And there have been calls just now."

Hiroto Akihara is relieved, the quality of the movie is excellent, and word-of-mouth will naturally attract theater operators.

After all, for them, income is the most important thing!

Hiroto Akihara said with a smile: "It is estimated that more and more theaters will contact you in the future, and your workload will increase."

Asano Aiko waved her hand indifferently: "I'm happier if I work harder than this."

She thought for a while, and then asked, "Can the follow-up publicity plan be arranged?"

So far, due to Hiroto Akihara's request, only a small part of the promotional funds of more than 5000 million yen has been used.

In her mind, the current situation is very good, and it is suitable to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and directly release all the propaganda.

Maybe under the propaganda offensive, hundreds of theaters will contact and screen it soon!

But Hiroto Akihara did not agree, but said: "Wait a little longer, I will notify you in two days."

After sending Aiko Asano to go on with other work, he walked aside and called the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department again.

The movie "Memories of Murder" is based on the Kanagawa murder case.

But in the publicity before the movie, he never emphasized this point, but let people let out the wind in private that it was adapted from a real case.

The reason is because he needs to follow the hot spots on the Metropolitan Police Department to form a social driving effect.

Prior to this, although the Metropolitan Police Department had identified the specific suspect, they had not caught him for a long time.

In the absence of further confessions, the Metropolitan Police Department has not released relevant information because it is worried about a scandal of arresting the wrong person.

But as far as he knew, the Metropolitan Police Department had already caught people in the past two days.
