Chapter 875 Fuck You!

On March 14, Wednesday, "Red Sorghum" had 1,402 canvases and a 20.2% screening ratio. It had a total of 6,892 screenings across the country, and won a total of 574,206 moviegoers, with an average of 88 people per game and an average attendance rate of 71.1%.

The national box office of the day was 12.17 million! Accounted for 62.2% of the total box office available nationwide that day!

On the second day of its release, the film schedule increased by 1.2%, but the number of moviegoers and attendance also dropped, and the box office dropped slightly by 780,000 from yesterday's 12.95 million.

Of course, due to the off-season of the movie box office market, the proportion of the single film "Red Sorghum" in the country's total box office has actually increased!

According to the statistics, the major theaters are all solid.

Facts have proved that their adjustment direction is completely correct!

Then, on Thursday, March 15th, the film schedule of "Red Sorghum" in major theaters across the country was slightly reduced to 19.7%. The box office revenue was 11.39 million!

The box office trend of this movie is extremely stable, and even the daily drop in the box office is quite similar-basically, 35,000-40,000 moviegoers drop every day, and about 800,000 box office drops every day!

In the first three days, a total of more than 1.72 million movie viewers and 36.51 million box office were received!

For a literary film with an investment of 12 million and not too high a publicity fee, this is already a very high box office. Even from a long-term perspective, there is no problem at all if the box office of this movie doubles from the current level, and it is reasonable to break through 100 million. The movie's box office estimates, but...

His first weekend has not arrived yet!

Even the major theaters have given high praise to the film's long-term performance after reducing the number of screenings, and its internal evaluation is still relatively high among literary films, so at least in the first Before the arrival of the weekend schedule, basically no theater chain will take the initiative to significantly reduce its film schedule.

In the afternoon and evening of Friday, and all day on Saturday and Sunday, the box office of these two and a half days often accounts for 60%-70% of the total box office of the whole week, or even more!

Therefore, the practice in the industry is that unless a movie is so bad that no one will watch it, since the theaters choose to show it, they will at least give it a weekend to try out its quality.

…………

On March 16th, Friday, early in the morning, Lu Ping, who just returned to Shuntianfu after leading a team to record a program in other places yesterday, got the box office data of "Red Sorghum" that he cared most about yesterday.

Then, after reading the data, he laughed out loud.

In front of his agent Gao Lanlan, the general manager of Tianyi Film and Television Zhou Zhengyang, and his concubine Xia Xiaoyue, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "The first three days must be the most popular three days of this movie, and it is also the most popular three days. The three days with the highest box office! The first three days added up to less than 40 million, even if you add today, then Saturday and weekend, and give it another 30 to 40 million box office, it will be the top of the sky!"

Having said that, he raised the data in his hand and said proudly: "Next week, we will see it!"

…………

After everyone went out, even Xia Xiaoyue went out to chat with Gao Lanlan about going shopping together after the movie was released. Lu Ping took a few minutes to calm down, and then called Qin Jingjing—— Coincidentally, Qin Jingjing was also in Shuntian Mansion.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Jingjing agreed to find a place to watch a movie together in the afternoon.

Well, Lu Ping specifically pointed it out, saying that he wanted to read Qin Jingjing's "Red Sorghum".

Everyone made an appointment to meet at the cinema at 3:30 in the afternoon. After buying the tickets, we could have a cup of coffee and watch the show after 4:00 in the afternoon, and then... Lu Ping calculated that after the movie was over, we could have dinner together.

So, he even tidied himself up briefly with great interest.

In fact... After thinking about it carefully after that hard work, although Qin Jingjing's girl is not the level of the dream lover, she is not as good as Lu Lingxi's elegant and intelligent style that I like, but as a girl In terms of beauty alone, she and Lu Lingxi are at best good at each other!

And the good thing is that she's a bit silly, short-sighted, and considerate in doing things. In other words, once this kind of woman likes someone or follows someone, even if she complains later, she basically competes with herself, and she won't even think about leaving on her own initiative—as long as she has sex, pull in the door , she will never be able to escape in this life!

I used to be purely stupid, my eyes only knew to stare at Lu Lingxi! Up to now, hehe, Senior Sister Lu has already climbed a high branch, and I don't know if there is any hope in this life. Therefore, it is better not to miss, not to let go of such a beautiful woman right in front of me!

Especially... now is a good time!

"Red Sorghum" is now in theaters!

Hehe, however, it is estimated that today is its last glory!

The sky-high box office of the previous three working days has basically consumed the popularity of the film itself, the popularity brought to it by Li Qian, and the popularity brought to it by winning the Berlin Film Festival!

Even, Lu Ping thought: Maybe just today, its attendance rate should already be ugly!

Perhaps for other films currently being screened, its attendance rate is still relatively high, but for Li Qian, for a "phenomenal" film that has won four trophies at the Berlin Film Festival, the attendance rate is estimated to be It will be ugly!

Hehe... Phenomenal level!

snort!

…………

After lunch, Lu Ping said that he had something to do in the afternoon and was going to retreat for a while, and told Xia Xiaoyue not to bother him. Xia Xiaoyue, who was in a good mood, carefully left, and then happily took Gao Lanlan to go shopping together.

As soon as they left, Lu Ping got up and went downstairs.

First, I found a flower shop, bought a large bouquet of flowers, and asked them to put a big heart in the trunk, then I drove the car and went straight to the movie studio I had agreed upon.

When we got to the place, it was only thirty past three.

A few minutes later, Qin Jingjing also arrived early.

She recently has a high rate of appearances both domestically and internationally, plus "Red Sorghum" is currently in theaters, and there are posters posted everywhere, so she deliberately put on sunglasses—but the film city is obviously a bit deserted , as soon as she appeared, Lu Ping saw her at first sight.

Seeing the deserted look in the movie theater in front of her, Qin Jingjing was obviously a little surprised.

She just went out to record an episode of the program yesterday, and when she heard Liao Min report the box office for herself, she felt pretty good. After all, her family, with less than 20% of the film schedule, could easily get 60% of the total box office of the day. % or so, and the first three days, still working days, won the box office of more than 36 million!

This data is really awesome!

But when she came to the cinema, she found that the reality seemed a little different from what she thought.

Up to now, she still clearly remembers that when "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Huang Feihong" were released, no matter which movie theater she went to, she could see such a lively scene.

And now... not at all.

After seeing her coming in, Lu Ping got up and walked over. Seeing her surprised look, Lu Ping helplessly looked around the whole movie theater with her, sighed, and said: "It's off-season now, that's how movie theaters are. When I first came, I'm also a little surprised, I thought "Red Sorghum" was so hot recently that it could already bring the movie theaters up! Now it seems..."

Qin Jingjing turned to look at him, and suddenly took off her sunglasses, "Are you satirizing "Red Sorghum"?"

Lu Ping was a little surprised.

This doesn't seem to be Qin Jingjing's speaking style?

But... two years have passed, maybe she has become a movie queen now, so... um! understandable!

He spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "That's absolutely not what I mean! I just wanted to say that I originally hoped that "Red Sorghum" could bring the atmosphere up, because my film will be released next week, can you follow along?" Get some heat or something, but now it seems that I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with this heat!"

Qin Jingjing gave him a serious look, but said nothing.

But just this one glance suddenly made Lu Ping a little flustered!

No... this feels very wrong!

Although we haven't seen each other for two years, he thinks he knows Qin Jingjing very well!

She is beautiful, but she is very naive and naive. To put it bluntly, she is a bit silly in Lu Ping's eyes! But now, she seems to be... different anyway!

Could it be that the influence of an actress at the Berlin Film Festival is that great?

Can a person's spirit, temperament, and even IQ be changed in such a short period of time?

Before he could think any further, Qin Jingjing took two steps forward. Seeing that he hadn't followed, she had already stopped. Looking back, there was no fascination or joy in her eyes. The feeling of getting together with friends—seeing that Lu Ping was in a daze, she asked, "Aren't you going to invite me to a movie? Have you bought the ticket?"

"Oh...not yet! I'll go buy it right away!"

Lu Ping agreed, took out his wallet, and walked quickly to the ticket office.

At the same time, I felt a little weird in my heart-really weird!

Now, looking back, I can still clearly recall some details of the relationship between the two two years ago. At that time, Qin Jingjing was a bit clingy, and it was obvious that she was deliberately trying to please herself! So, if it was two years ago, then I asked her to watch a movie, and when I met her at this time, she would probably look happy, and then... take the initiative to run over to buy a ticket?

Well, in the impression that I had dinner and coffee with her a few times in the past few years, it seems that I have never paid for it by myself, and every time she took the initiative to settle the money quietly!

But... well, credit to the actress?

But I have to say, now that she stands there, her temperament, that kind of aura, really suddenly has a charming feeling!

Not prettier, not prettier, but more charming!

it's wired!

…………

When the conductor was printing tickets, Lu Ping asked a question, and the conductor answered a number casually, and he couldn't help but be secretly delighted when he heard it.

When he came back with the ticket, he invited Qin Jingjing to the nearby coffee shop to sit for a while, have a cup of coffee and wait for some time, then waited for the two of them to enter the shop and sit down, ordered coffee, he shook the movie ticket in his hand, and put it on the table Going up, frowning, said: "I just asked casually, and the ticket sales situation is really not very good."

Qin Jingjing was looking down at the message, and she didn't know who sent it to her. She seemed to want to reply, but when she heard that, she immediately raised her head and asked, "Red sorghum?"

Lu Ping nodded, "Red sorghum!"

Qin Jingjing nodded, and asked again: "Is the attendance rate low?"

Lu Pingdao: "I didn't ask about the previous performances. I just asked how many tickets we have. The conductor told me that this is the twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth tickets. Now... there are still 20 tickets before the opening. In a few minutes, I wonder if there will be another twenty or thirty people?"

After a pause, he spread his hands, looked around through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows inside the building, and said, "This is already a relatively prosperous shopping mall in Shuntian Prefecture. According to my understanding, the movie theater here should have a relatively high attendance rate. Guaranteed, but now it seems..."

"Maybe it's because of working hours?"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Jingjing suddenly interrupted him.

Lu Ping was a little surprised again—in the past, Qin Jingjing was really obsessed with him, and it was almost unimaginable for her to interrupt her suddenly when she was talking like this.

Seeing that Lu Ping was a little surprised, Qin Jingjing added another sentence, "After all... I don't think there are many people shopping in the mall!" After speaking, she smiled and lowered her hair to send a text message.

Lu Ping was in a daze for a moment, came back to his senses, and thought: Well, it seems that the past two years of going to Minghu Culture have had a great impact on her, and it is said that her manager is Liao Liao's younger sister, a very powerful woman. The child seems to have had a lot of influence on her!

But that's okay!

He thought to himself: "Then I'll influence it back!"

…………

After drinking a cup of coffee for about 20 minutes, Lu Ping probably saw 30 or 40 people going to buy tickets at the movie theater box office that can be clearly seen through the glass not far away.

As for whether I bought "Red Sorghum" or other shows, I don't know.

However, Lu Ping felt that it was impossible for all of them to be from "Red Sorghum"! It is said that the movie that was released yesterday is not too bad. When a new movie is released, it will always attract a lot of viewers!

In the middle, there were two groups of audiences who came out after watching the movie. There were not many people, there were more than a dozen people, and there were only six or seven people who came out in total. Judging from the expressions, they were not very excited, probably because they were not very satisfied with the encounter Movies - many of them bought tickets on the spot after they came out!

Lu Ping prayed in his heart, don't buy "Red Sorghum"!

Occasionally, when he withdrew his attention and turned his head to look at Qin Jingjing, he was always a little surprised and a little excited - she was really different from the past!

In the past, when she had such an opportunity to get in touch with herself alone, she would definitely chatter non-stop, trying to arouse her attention and affection for her, but at that time, apart from occasionally thinking that she was really beautiful Other than that... I really don't have any feelings for her.

But now, she simply sits there and doesn't have much to say. Occasionally, when she reads a text message and answers a text message, she will suddenly smile, but she looks so charming and charming!

…………

After calculating that the time was coming, Lu Ping reminded, Qin Jingjing finally finished the thumb chat, put on sunglasses, and after Lu Ping paid the bill, the two got up and walked to the cinema.

When checking in the tickets, Lu Ping was surprised to find that there were quite a few people!

When I entered the auditorium and sat down, when the broadcast was about to start, I turned around and glanced around, and I was sitting for a long time!

This is really not easy!

You know, it is less than four o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary office workers to come here to buy tickets before then, and then watch the show at four o'clock!

So, under such circumstances, how could the attendance rate of "Red Sorghum" reach at least 60% as it is now? If you count carefully, it may even have reached 70%?

I feel a little strange in my heart, feeling puzzling!

But think about it again... After all, it's only the fourth day, and it's Li Qian's starring role, and it's also the winner of the Berlin Film Festival Award. Well, it's the movie city in the most prosperous shopping mall in Shuntian Prefecture. With this attendance rate, It's normal!

…………

The movie starts quickly.

To be honest, putting everything aside, Lu Ping is a graduate of the Film Academy after all, and he is a film genius who can be counted as many years ago and as many years in the future!

So, even if I finally sat in the screening hall with all kinds of complicated emotions, and even hoped from the bottom of my heart that this movie would be more literary and in-depth-the farther the ordinary audience is pushed, the better!

However, when the movie started, he straightened his back immediately!

No matter from the perspective of the most professional film art and criticism, or from an ordinary audience's first demand for the pursuit of sound and light stimulation and watching stories, there is no doubt that this is a good film!

At this time, recalling the praise of "Red Sorghum" winning in Berlin in the newspapers, Lu Ping had to admit for the first time: Maybe, that was not a compliment!

Especially the camera control of this movie, and the splash-ink-style color scheduling and rendering, Lu Ping, a talented movie star, immediately climaxed!

There were so many moments, the first thought in his mind was: I want to pull this photographer over and ask him to hold the camera for me next movie!

Of course, in less than half a second later, he came back to his senses - Fu Xuelong, China's first Berlin Film Festival Best Cinematography Silver Bear Award, Li Qian's classmate, best friend, hardcore!

How could it be possible to dig him!

So, after more than an hour passed, Li Qian's rough voice seemed to be still echoing in his mind, echoing the song "Sister, you go forward boldly", which has become a huge hit all over the country in recent days, but In the midst of the childish "Mother, mother, go to the Southwest", I was so excited by the blood-red scene that I couldn't help but tremble... The movie is over.

Lu Ping sat in his seat, a little dazed.

When Qin Jingjing took the initiative to call him, he gradually came back to his senses, got up and walked out with the flow of people, and was about to walk out of the screening hall, he finally recovered from the shock that this movie brought to him, and at the same time remembered I have achieved my purpose today.

However, at this time, the ears were full of discussions——

"...Yeah, shit, what the movie review said is absolutely right, there are a lot of shots in the middle, all of them are too DIAO! This is the first time I watch this kind of literary film, and I find it really good!"

"Yeah! Although there is no intense action, I think it is more enjoyable than his, mother's blockbusters! Especially do you remember? When the RB guy in the middle asked to be skinned, the guy shouted, 'Dog! Dog! Dog!' , I yelled several times in a row, and let me tell you, I had goosebumps all over my body at that moment, and felt like tears were about to come down!"

"Hey! Hey! Yes! We are almost the same! Seeing that piece, I feel hot all over, too! Fuck, I decided to watch literary and artistic movies often in the future, I feel super DIAO!"

Lu Ping was listening to the conversation between the two men behind him, thinking about something messily, when a middle-aged man in front of him suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "I think too much brother! I prefer to watch literary films, but I can Let me tell you, there may not be one literary film of the same level as this film every year! From time to time there are good ones abroad, but we don’t import them in China, and we can’t watch them in cinemas. We can only climb the wall on the Internet and go abroad. Look, as for the ones in China... it's not far away!"

Lu Ping frowned upon hearing this!

You know, he was born as a literary film director!

Although after reading it, he had to admit that the high standard of Li Qian's "Red Sorghum" was indeed beyond his imagination. It must also be admitted that this film has definitely reached the peak of all domestic literary and artistic films in the past few decades, but he doesn't think his film is so bad!

However, at this time, a person behind him who was discussing enthusiastically just now replied with a smile: "Of course! This is the work of our master! Four trophies at the Berlin Film Festival!"

This word... so depressing!

Lu Ping lowered his head, frowned, and tried to walk out quickly. He really didn't want to hear these harsh comments.

However, when he didn't even care about Qin Jingjing beside him, he quickened his pace subconsciously, trying to hurry away from the audience who were enthusiastically flattering Li Qian. When we arrived at the waiting area and the ticket area, the Wuyang Wuyang crowd!

The first reaction, he froze there.

Just this pause, the two loudest buddies behind him have already caught up, and Qin Jingjing has also caught up——

"Holy shit, why are there so many people all of a sudden! Don't they all come to see "Red Sorghum"? I was thinking about watching it again just now!"

"Should...not be? Maybe watching other movies?"

"Go, go over and ask!"

Lu Ping took a deep breath, and when he turned his head, Qin Jingjing was standing beside him.

He was looking at himself coldly.

Lu Ping subconsciously forced a smile on his face, but his voice was a little tight, "The movie...is really good!"

After saying a word, my chest felt even tighter, but my voice finally became smoother.

Taking advantage of the situation, he said again: "You acted very well!"

"Thanks!"

Qin Jingjing finally showed a rare smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

But Lu Ping's heart became more and more uneasy.

After the two of them came out along the flow of people and stood at the ticket office for less than a minute, Lu Ping's heart sank to the bottom - when he bought the ticket just now, there was only one ticket seller, but now there are three people selling tickets at the same time , but the dialogue from over there is basically the same!

"Sorry, the 6:00 and 7:50 shows of "Red Sorghum" are sold out, and now there are more than a dozen tickets left for the 9:40 show, do you want?"

…………

Lu Ping froze there, feeling his hands and feet were cold for a moment.

Qin Jingjing listened to the conversation at the ticket office over there, with an indescribably bright smile on her face.

After a while, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly picked up her sunglasses and put them on—looked around, fortunately, everyone was concerned about whether she could get a ticket, and no one noticed herself.

Looking back, Lu Ping's face was ashen.

Her smile slowly faded away.

Someone over there asked loudly: "Do you only have one hall? Why don't you open more halls! No one watches other movies! We want to watch "Red Sorghum" but can't get a ticket! If we watch 9:4 Ten episodes, when is the end!"

"Yes, yes! Tell your manager to open another hall to show "Red Sorghum". We have so many people queuing up to watch "Red Sorghum". Everyone agrees?"

"right!"

"Look... you won't be able to sell tickets for other movies! If you open another hall to show "Red Sorghum", just us now will be enough for you to fill the seats!"

Lu Ping's face became more and more ugly.

But at this time, a smile appeared on Qin Jingjing's face unconsciously.

Turning to look at Lu Ping, she said, "Then... shall I go first?"

"Huh? Uh...uh..."

After hesitating for a moment, he still nodded and said with difficulty: "Okay!"

Qin Jingjing looked at him, smiled, turned around and left.

After a pause, Lu Ping came back to his senses and stretched out his hand, "How about I send..."

When I looked up, the person had already gone away, five or six steps away.

And she seemed to have heard it, turned her back to this side, raised her hand, and waved it smartly, "No need!"

Lu Ping raised his arm halfway up, and slowly lowered it.

Suddenly, I remembered the dinner I had planned in my heart, the plan to pick up girls, and the roses in the trunk—along with the words of comfort and reassurance that I had prepared in my heart, were they all invalidated?

Turning around and looking over there, the conductor was on the phone, as if he was asking for instructions urgently.

Lu Ping suddenly showed a sneer, thinking: "It's a fart to ask for instructions. I want to put an extra hall. Do you have enough copies?"

Soon, however, he sighed.

Because as long as the theater chain wants to arrange more films, as long as the distribution company has spare copies for emergencies, it will definitely give it away-to make money, who cares too much?

What's more, this is Shuntian Mansion, and Minghu culture is here!

Maybe the contact here needs a copy, and it will be delivered in 30 minutes!

…………

All kinds of thoughts in my heart rise and fall, one after another.

After an unknown amount of time, when Lu Ping suddenly woke up, he realized that he had arrived at the underground parking lot, and his car was not far ahead.

Press the car key, unlock it, pull the door, and get in.

what to do?

Is it a sudden release of the desire to buy tickets because of Friday afternoon, or will this enthusiasm for buying tickets and watching movies continue forever?

So, Friday, Saturday plus Sunday, three days, can it be released almost?

Judging by the reaction at the box office just now, it is estimated that its box office will explode this weekend. Although I don’t know how much it will explode, and I don’t know whether the adjustments of major theaters can keep up with the sudden explosion of the market. This affects the scale of the entire outbreak, but... Judging from the opponents that "Red Sorghum" is currently facing in the box office market, it only needs to explode a little, and it is enough to trample everyone to death!

What is disturbing at the moment is, can the box office spending power of this movie be almost exploded in one weekend?

If not...

Bang!

Lu Ping punched the steering wheel desperately.

Fortunately, no power, no horn sound.

Suddenly, I remembered Qin Jingjing's smile just now——

Huh? Yes! her smile...

Yes, she was very happy, that's for sure, after all, it was the movie in which she acted as the heroine, and it helped her get the best actress award at the Berlin Film Festival. Of course, she hoped that the box office of that movie would be as high as possible!

However, when I came back to my senses at this moment, I vaguely remembered that when I saw the ticket sales at the ticket office, my complexion should not be very good. At that time, I seemed to be able to see it from the corner of my eye. His eyes seemed to be...a little cold?

Um, yes, a little cold.

To be exact, it was icy cold.

Yes, she is really different now compared to two years ago!

The indescribable difference.

Thinking back now, it seems that from the first time we met today, she was a little cold to herself?

…………

Sitting blankly in the car, just thinking, thinking, thinking.

Suddenly Lu Ping seemed to have figured something out, and hatred appeared in his eyes.

"This cousin, she is..."

"It's not right! How could she have expected that today's box office would explode? So she deliberately agreed to watch the movie together to see how ugly my face is? I'm afraid even Li Qian doesn't have that much confidence in himself?"

"But no matter what, I must be ashamed today! She has seen everything!"

Bang!

I couldn't help but punched the steering wheel again!

At this moment, thinking of those flowers in the trunk, he suddenly became violently annoyed again.

Get out of the car, open the trunk, and then desperately pull it out, completely ignoring the tingling sensation from your hand!

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

"Damn shit!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

A middle-aged man in a red and yellow sanitation suit ran over quickly.

Lu Ping turned his head and yelled, "I want to throw away my own flowers, but you want to take care of them?"

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then smiled disdainfully, and said, "I'm broken in love, right? My girlfriend ran away with someone? Or did I just give you a cuckold?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping couldn't help but froze there.

At this time, the sanitation worker glanced at Lu Ping again, the disdain in his eyes became more intense, and he said in a frivolous and mocking tone, "...you can throw it away if you want!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of receipts and a pen from his pocket, and said directly: "Fine!"

***

I finished the last chapter before ten o'clock, and continued to write without resting. Then, I wrote it in one breath until now, half past two!

Tired and paralyzed, but also cool to write!

Four and a half hours, during which I went to the bathroom once, and now, here is the 8,000-character chapter!

This is considered to be an advance update after breaking into the top fifteen, and it does not affect the updates that should have been!

Then, Dao Yigeng asked everyone for a monthly pass!

I want to be in the top fifteen!

Please support us by all means!
