Chapter 1007 Columbia Entertainment's Big Move

Hedong Province, Jishui.

"A Yue, you see, "The Godfather" has already started to be discussed on Weibo, and reports from major media have also begun." Chen Ziyu leaned on Tan Yue and scrolled through Weibo with his mobile phone.

Tan Yue turned his head and looked at Chen Ziyu's mobile phone.

He didn't have too many surprises about this matter. Every time the box office results were announced, many media would follow suit and report on it.

Ding dong ding dong, the group chat of the crew is still going on.

"Everyone, "The Godfather" has reached the top of Weibo's trending searches. This is faster than riding a rocket."

"Many media have already reported it. Unexpectedly, they reported it as soon as the box office results were announced three hours in advance."

"It's normal. The report was late and the heat belongs to others."

"I have to say that the box office results achieved on the first day of the movie's release were really high. If I remember correctly, it should be much better than the previous two movies."

"That's right, The Godfather's first-day box office performance was the highest."

Tan Yue was also surprised when he thought that the box office revenue on the first day was US$268 million.

Although there have been two previous movies, "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump", which have accumulated some fame, in fact, in the movies released this time, many entertainment companies are very powerful, and those who participated in the movies The cast includes many international stars.

Compared with them, "The Godfather" does not have an advantage.

Tan Yue tapped the screen of his mobile phone and sent a message to the group: "The Godfather" could achieve such good results on the first day only because of everyone's joint efforts. You have worked so hard abroad, and this result is the best reward for your hard work.

The group responded quickly.

"It's not hard."

"Being able to participate in the filming of a movie like this is already the happiest thing for me."

Everyone in the group chatted with each other.

Because it was the New Year, and "The Godfather" had achieved good results on the first day, some people in the group began to hand out red envelopes, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Ma Guoliang, who hadn't spoken to each other for a long time, suddenly posted six photos in the group. They were obviously taken in a movie theater. They were all full of people.

"When the movie was released, I wanted to come to the cinema to see the real reaction of the audience, but I didn't expect that there would be too many people. I heard that many people were discussing our movie, and the box office will definitely get higher and higher."

Ma Guoliang's words instantly resonated with many people.

"It was the same situation when I went to the cinema yesterday."

"Our place is so crowded, it's almost like going to a market."

"I envy those of you who bought movie tickets. I haven't bought one yet."

Fan Shan made a thumbs-up expression and continued: "Mr. Ma is right. Now, many people are discussing our movie, whether abroad or domestically. With so many people watching it, the box office results will definitely get better and better." high."

The group became more lively.

Normally, Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang, and Fan Shan rarely speak in the group. They spend most of their time watching what everyone is talking about.

Today, several people spoke one after another, making the people in the group feel like celebrating the New Year.

Yes, it’s Chinese New Year now.

"I wish our movie a big hit at the box office!"

"I wish "The Godfather" will surpass "Forrest Gump" at the box office and set a new box office record for Mr. Tan!"

“‘The Godfather’ is a hit!”

"Who was the lucky one just now? Keep giving out red envelopes to celebrate!"

afternoon.

Li Yulan sighed: "I was still thinking of letting you stay at home for a few more days, but you still left so soon."

Tan Zhaohe, An Nuan, and Tan Xin are all there.

"There are too many things in the company." Tan Yue put the things in the trunk of the car, and they were about to set off back to Beijing.

After a few days of vacation, many things in the company have not been dealt with yet. The two of them had already agreed before coming here to take advantage of these few days to have a good rest.

Now the company naturally has a lot of things piled up.

In addition, "The Godfather" is being released simultaneously around the world. Although the current situation is very good, competition is fierce after all. Unexpected things may happen if you are not careful, so you have to go back and keep an eye on it in real time.

Chen Ziyu held Li Yulan's hand and said, "Auntie, we will definitely stay with you for a few more days when we have time next time."

Li Yulan felt a little sad and reluctant. Her son had only been back for a few days and was about to leave again. She really wanted her son to stay for a few more days. But he didn't say this: "I know you are busy with work, so you must take good care of your body and don't be too tired."

"I will remember what you said. A-Yue and I will definitely pay attention to rest."

Tan Zhaohe helped with the packing. When he returned to Beijing this time, the trunk was almost the same as when he came here, but mostly it contained some specialties.

"Okay, Dad, if we can't fit it anymore, we won't fit these things anymore."

Tan Zhaohe opened the back door: "There's not much left. Put these things in the back seat."

"Mom, our things are packed. It's almost time for us to set off, otherwise it will be dark when we get back to the capital." Tan Yue looked at the time. It was now half past one in the afternoon.

"Auntie, we're leaving, you should also take care of yourself."

Li Yulan said reluctantly: "Please pay attention to safety on the road, and don't drive too fast if you arrive late."

"I know, Mom." Tan Yue said, "Dad, sister-in-law, we're back. If you need anything, call me."

Tan Zhaohe nodded and said nothing.

An Nuan said: "I'm here, so don't worry and work peacefully."

"Okay." Tan Yue patted Tan Xin's head: "Listen to your mother at home. If you do well in the exam, I will pick you up to Beijing for fun when you are on vacation."

"Really? Pinky promise."

"Okay, pinky promise."

Tan Yue sat in the main driver's seat and started the car.

"Goodbye uncle and aunt! Goodbye sister-in-law! Bye Tan Xin." Chen Ziyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, waved and set off back to Beijing.

Li Yulan sighed and felt very uncomfortable.

Today is the second day of the Chinese New Year. There are not many cars on the road. After nearly five hours of travel, the car slowly drove into Ruishan Community.

"Finally arrived." Tan Yue got out of the car and stretched his waist.

On the way, he rested for more than ten minutes at the service area and kept driving.

"Don't take the things first, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Tan Yue agreed with Chen Ziyu's idea, mainly because there were too many things in the car.

The two of them only took the suitcases to the room.

"You take a rest first, I'll tell my mother." Tan Yue took out his mobile phone and called his mother.

"Xiao Yue, are you here?"

"Just got home."

Li Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart was relieved: "It's good to be home, go to bed after dinner."

"I know, mom, have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, your dad is still eating."

"Okay, call me if there's anything at home, I'll go prepare dinner, hang up first." Tan Yue put down the phone, twisted his neck, and relaxed his body.

The next day, early in the morning.

The quiet morning was broken by a burst of alarm clock. Tan Yue opened his eyes, clicked the screen of his mobile phone, and turned off the alarm.

After driving all afternoon yesterday, he was worried that he would miss seven o'clock when he woke up, so he set an alarm for six fifty.

Tan Yue leaned his pillow against the head of the bed in a daze, sitting and waiting for seven o'clock to come.

Today is the announcement of the box office results of the second day of the movie's release.

In the first few days of the release, the box office results of each day are very important, and it can be seen from them what kind of attitude the audience has towards the movie.

Seven o'clock.

The official website of the International Cultural Center announced the movie box office results on time.

The Godfather is still ranked third, with a total box office of 553 million US dollars in two days, and 285 million US dollars in a single day, which is only 3 million US dollars behind the second-ranked The Rhythm of the Wind.

Compared with the first day, the single-day box office performance of The Godfather has increased again. Tan Yue is very satisfied with such a result.

The Godfather has not yet started the first wave of publicity plan after the release. Now the box office growth is completely relying on the influence of the movie itself.

This is also what he is most happy to see.

Tan Yue has a smile on his face. Judging from the current situation, he may soon surpass The Rhythm of the Wind, which ranks second.

The box office performance of Black Fire cannot be ignored.

Tan Yue swiped his phone and saw Black Fire. It has risen to the second place today, with a cumulative box office of 226 million US dollars.

Although it is not as high as the first-day box office performance of The Godfather, it has improved by two places after all, which cannot be ignored.

At nearly nine o'clock, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu came to the company.

Now the company's employees are still on vacation, and only a small number of them are working in the company.

Tan Yue returned to his office, and soon someone brought the documents in.

Chen Ye had not come yet, so the person who brought the documents was Chen Ziyu's assistant.

Tan Yue picked up the documents and looked through them. The most things were in the artist department.

During the Spring Festival, there were many large and small programs and evening parties, and many artists under the company received invitations.

Tan Yue looked through the feedback that appeared on the Internet after the artists participated in the programs.

There are good ones and bad ones.

There are so many artists under the company, and it is normal for one or two to have problems occasionally. It is either that the program is not good or the singing is not popular.

However, Tan Yue also sent a message to Qin Tao. There will also be artists participating in the program on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He asked the artists to adjust their status and prepare well for the next program.

During the few days of resting at home, the company's accumulated work was not particularly much, and they were all small things. Even if the two agreed in advance not to deal with official business, if something big really happened, of course they still had to deal with it.

Tan Yue quickly finished processing the documents, took out his mobile phone and called Engineer Wu.

"Mr. Tan."

"Director Wu, please come to my office."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Wu stayed in the company this year and spent the first day of the Lunar New Year in front of the company's computer watching the situation online, including the situation abroad.

The first day of a movie's release is particularly important. The reputation of the movie depends on the first day. He has to prepare a launch plan in real time to ensure the box office performance of the movie.

Wu came to the president's office in two steps and knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in."

"Mr. Tan."

"Sit down. If you want to drink water, pour it yourself."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan." Wu did not pour water: "This is some of the information about "The Godfather" abroad in the past two days."

Tan Yue took the file and did not rush to ask about the movie. He put the file down: "You have worked hard these days. I heard that you came to the company early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

Although the company left some people on duty, the night of New Year's Eve and the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year were still given holidays for those on duty.

"No, no, it's not too early. Our movie is released on the first day, and I thought of coming over to see the feedback online."

"You don't have to work so hard if this happens again in the future." Tan Yue opened the file and said, "Tell me about the recent situation related to movies, focusing on foreign countries."

Wu Gong briefly reported some situations to Tan Yue, but it was not particularly detailed.

Wu Gong said directly: "Before the movie was released, we had been promoting it step by step according to the previously customized plan. After the lessons learned from the previous two times, the adjusted publicity plan is pretty good and has attracted attention in many countries."

Tan Yue saw in the document that many entertainment media reported on "The Godfather".

"Two hours after "The Godfather" was released, people were already discussing it on Twitter. Although the popularity was not very high, it was much higher than "Forrest Gump". Five hours later, The praise quickly increased, and the popularity also increased. The most popular moment was after the movie box office was announced the next day, and it became a hot topic on Twitter. "

Wu Gong divided each important moment according to time points.

More than twenty minutes later.

"I think the box office of "The Godfather" will continue to increase." After finishing speaking, Wu Gong took a sip of water.

I talked too much at this time, and because my throat was a little dry, I poured a glass of water.

Tan Yue said with satisfaction: "Well done. Your report is very detailed and will be very helpful for our future publicity work."

"What should be done is as long as it helps us."

"People from the company will be back to work soon, and you don't have to work so hard."

Wu Gong smiled. Compared with the previous promotions abroad, this time it was much more relaxed.

"I wonder if you have noticed something?" Tan Yue put down the document in his hand: "When I was checking the box office today, I found that the ranking of "Black Fire" rose by two places."

Wu Gong said seriously: "Mr. Tan, I have already asked someone to investigate the situation you mentioned."

"Black Fire" plagiarized "Infernal Affairs". As the director of the public relations department, how could he ignore it.

"After the box office was announced yesterday, Columbia Entertainment quickly took action. They found many internationally famous stars to help them promote the movie. This is one of them. The other is on Twitter and major websites. They have expanded their publicity. Generally speaking, it’s a bit crazy.”

Tan Yue took the phone and it was exactly what Wu Gong said. He frowned and said, "They are really generous this time!"

However, they did not promote it too much in China, so Columbia Entertainment did not receive much news about such a big move.
