Chapter 584 First Week Box Office

Tao Zheng from Shengxia Cinemas has been walking with wind these past few days.

Back when Tao Zheng came back with a 10% contract for "A Chinese Ghost Story", the company's senior management had no objections, but given that Tao Zheng has always had a precise vision over the years, it's not to say that he was exhaustive. Come too big a loss.

Moreover, things like film scheduling can be adjusted after the release!

What a big deal!

In the end, Tao Zheng brought such a big surprise to Shengxia Cinemas!

The box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" exploded immediately!

Moreover, due to the small number of films scheduled for this movie by other theaters, and the number of shows is not very good, the audience who want to watch this movie these days basically watch it at the Midsummer Theater, and the Midsummer Theater earns a lot of money. That's called a full bowl.

Every game is full!

Therefore, there was no need for Tao Zheng to file an application. After receiving the first-day box office data of "A Chinese Ghost Story", the company's senior management directly decided to adjust the film for this movie!

Even if the scenes of other movies have been cut, the schedule of this movie must also be adjusted!

As for those movie shows that have already sold tickets, it's easy to handle, just get a refund!

However, for the movie "Blue Star Fleet", the senior executives of Midsummer Theaters have some headaches: cut it off, in fact, the box office of this movie is not bad, especially when there are only 18% of the films scheduled for Midsummer Theaters , Basically, the number of viewers in each show is almost full.

Let’s not cut it. From the box office curve, it can be clearly seen that this movie has a weak successor. The main reason is that the early publicity is too fierce, and the audience’s expectations are too high. A bit of a disappointment.

The rating of "Blue Star Fleet" has dropped to 7 points. It is still the first week, and the rating has dropped so badly. After more people watch the movie on the weekend, its rating may drop. It's 6 minutes!

We must know that the first week after the release of such movies as commercial blockbusters and sci-fi giants is a critical period, and the box office of this week is basically equal to half of the total box office of the movie.

Therefore, in the first week of "Blue Star Fleet", the daily box office did not reach 567.8 billion, and this movie lost a lot!

The box office failed in the first week, and it will be difficult to come back against the wind in the later period. The box office will only get lower and lower, let alone delay in drawing.

Therefore, the executives of Midsummer Cinemas were in a dilemma. They cut down the owners and publishers who offended "Blue Star Fleet".

In the end, Tao Zheng expressed his opinion: "We only have 18% of the films for it.

It's not our turn to be anxious. Check the situation first, some people are more anxious than us! "

Right!

At least for the first week, the movie's attendance rate is still good. I don't know if the investors will make money. Anyway, Shengxia Cinemas is far from reaching the line of losing money, and it can still hold on.

But Huamei Cinemas couldn't hold on.

At the beginning, Huamei's film-watching representative was an idiot. After watching the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", he also reported the situation to his boss in a proper manner and applied for adjustment of the film schedule rate, but his boss rejected it.

At the same time, Huamei Cinemas' schedule for "Blue Star Fleet" has increased to 43%! It can be said that it was a desperate move. When entering Huamei Cinemas, the important screenings were basically this movie, and other movies were squeezed out.

As a result, the attendance rate of such a huge theater with so many screening halls was getting lower and lower day by day, and the attendance rate fell below the bottom on Thursday!

This made Huamei Cinemas, which had been holding on for a long time, panicked!

As soon as the executives met, they felt that they could no longer be so stubborn, and had to immediately adjust the film schedule, cut "Blue Star Fleet" in half, and played "A Chinese Ghost Story" in its entirety. I earn money for two days in a down-to-earth manner.

But at the end of the weekend, Huamei had to cut all other movies, because Huamei signed a special agreement with "Blue Star Fleet" early in the morning. For two days on the weekend of the first week, the entire Huamei theater chain was "Blue Star Fleet". Exclusively, only this movie will be played!

The senior executives of Huamei Cinemas are so regretful that their intestines are green!

But what can be done?

The contract is signed, hold your nose and admit it!

...

Just like that, the box office of all the movies in the first week of the summer vacation was released, and all filmmakers stretched their necks, waiting for the final data to come out.

As for the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", although they have run numerous road shows this week, and the main creative staff are exhausted, they are supported by good news every day, so everyone's mental state is not bad, waiting for the results The process is also very easy.

Yang Hongxia was thinking about the box office in the past few days, and felt that it should be almost the figure she thought, but the box office on Sunday is hard to say, it may explode, or it may hit the street.

But no matter what, after accumulating this week's box office, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has already made a lot of money, with popularity, fame, and money. It really shouldn't be nitpicking anymore.

Liang Wen's mood was even better: "Director Lin, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has made so much money, when will we start filming "The Butterfly Lovers"?"

What Liang Wen was thinking about was "The Butterfly Lovers". He hadn't said it before. First, the first movie hadn't been released yet, so how could he have the time and energy to prepare for the second one? Secondly, Lin Fan himself was very busy, going abroad and filming "Legend of the White Snake", so he couldn't spare any time.

But now that "A Chinese Ghost Story" has achieved such good results, Liang Wen couldn't help it.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I'm thinking about it! When "A Chinese Ghost Story" is finished, let's work out the scripts. And not only "Blessed Lovers", I also have a few comedy scripts..."

Yang Hongxia also happily said: "Comedy is good! Just in time to catch up, maybe I can catch up with the Lunar New Year holiday!"

Lin Fan waved his hands in fright: "Sister Xia, take a break! It's too late, let me take a break!"

Everyone laughed. This period of time can be called the peak of Lin Fan's business. He is either on the road show or on the way to the road show every day. Not to mention Lin Fan, others can't stand it anymore.

Yang Hongxia rolled her eyes: "Okay! Director Lin, you are the greatest! If you say take a break, let's take a break!"

While everyone was chatting and joking, the total box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the first week was finally sent to Yang Hongxia's mobile phone.

Looking at the numbers above, Yang Hongxia opened her mouth, but no sound came out!

But everyone was anxious: "Sister Xia, talk! How much is it?"

Lin Fan reached out to take the phone from Yang Hongxia's hand, glanced at it, rubbed his eyes and looked again, and found his voice after a long while: "The first week's box office, one billion!"

"Fuck!"

Liang Wen almost fell off the chair, he frantically held on to the table, his eyes stared like brass bells, staring at Lin Fan: "Again, how much is the box office?"

Lin Fan grinned with a big smile: "One billion! One billion! One billion!"

"Wow!"

Everyone in the audience went crazy, those who threw documents were still documents, those who slapped the table slapped the table, and those who couldn't believe their ears pinched their thighs!

"Oh my god! It hurts! It's true!"

"Fuck! Ten million against one billion? Brother Fan is awesome!"

"Ooh! A celebration banquet!"

Lin Fan waved his hand: "Open! It must be open! Don't wait for the final box office, let's have a celebration banquet now!"

Ps: The first part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" had a box office of 18 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. Please note that this was 1987. 34 years ago, you can calculate the purchasing power of money, and this is only Hong Kong's box office. If it is shown now It is said that the number of movie theaters in the country is many times that of that year.

The setting background of this book is more than double the population, so I don’t need to care too much about how much I exaggerate the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in this book. This is not self-indulgence, it is presumptuous.
