Chapter 882 It's Easy!

Zhou Yanghua stretched out his hand.

Xiong Chengchao walked over quickly and handed him the materials.

Zhou Yanghua signaled him to sit down by himself, and Xiong Chengchao sat down while nodding to Du Weiyun, saying hello, "Mr. Du!"

Du Weiyun continued to laugh, and asked, "I heard that our theaters only have less than 200 copies this time? You must be in a hurry, right?"

Xiong Chengchao smiled, "It's nothing. It's just a step."

Du Weiyun nodded, and asked again: "How is "Red Sorghum" sitting on our side?"

Xiong Cheng's face froze for a moment, and he replied truthfully: "Saturday and Sunday are two days, it's close to 100%! According to the ticket sales reported below, the venue is almost full."

Du Weiyun nodded and sighed again, "Well, what a pity!"

Xiong Chengchao didn't dare to take up the fight at all.

This is Zhou Yanghua's scar, and he wouldn't dare to expose it if he had the courage.

However, in fact, everyone understands that this incident is another glorious resume for him-he judged in advance that the box office of "Red Sorghum" was going to explode, and he also informed the group's The general manager Zong Chengze has reported and asked for instructions!

In fact, if Zhou Yanghua hadn't made up his own strategy in advance and decided to slightly suppress Minghu culture in "Red Sorghum", if "Red Sorghum" was just an ordinary movie, all the decision-making power would be in his theater In the hands of the general manager, the Oriental Cinemas is one of the companies with high box office and high turnover. As long as they can go to Minghu Culture on Friday afternoon and sign the screening agreement, Xiong Chengchao is confident that with the help of the Oriental Theater The strength and status of the theater chain, at least three or four hundred copies will be brought over!

Three or four hundred copies, in the past two days, that would mean an operating income of around fifteen million!

A good box office is rarely encountered a few times a year!

Unfortunately, "Red Sorghum" won a box office of 134.65 million in its first week, accounting for 90.3% of the total box office in the country last week. However, the Oriental Cinemas has always been the highest-grossing, best-attended, and largest cinema in China. , "Red Sorghum" only sold 10.64 million at the box office, plus the 6.22 million of all other movies, and the combined weekly box office revenue of 16.86 million accounted for only 11.3% of last week's national box office!

The lowest in history!

You know, under normal circumstances, although the Oriental Cinemas only have more than 900 screens, accounting for about 16% of the total number of screens in the country that can be counted in real time, the weekly box office accounts for between 22% and 26% all the year round. of!

Only this time, "Red Sorghum" was a big hit, and it was not the Oriental Cinema's turn to drink the most delicious soup!

Moreover, obviously, Chairman Zhou Yanghua wanted to let Minghu Culture understand who is the real boss of the domestic film industry, and now, the other party probably already understood—they themselves are the boss!

Even, as long as they can continue to come up with movies that can hit the box office, they will always be the boss!

The movie market has always been about heroes at the box office!

The box office statistics are nothing to look at, and the more you look at it, the more upset you get, Zhou Yanghua simply threw the report on the coffee table, sighed, and said to Xiong Chengchao: "You take some time to go down today, go to the store, check the situation, come back Report to me!"

Xiong Chengchao understood, and quickly nodded in agreement.

According to the promise of Minghu Culture, a new copy will be produced on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. At that time, as long as Minghu Culture does not have trouble with money, it will definitely be willing to let the Oriental Cinemas make up the signing The agreement is to increase the number of filming sessions, but the problem is that for the Oriental Cinemas, it is a knot.

Not to mention the subsequent box office trend of this movie, whether there will be a risk of the box office diving, even if it is purely from the heart knot, as long as the box office of "Red Sorghum" no longer continues to be so strong, it is estimated that the chairman will Bian will be cruel and refuse to re-sign the screening agreement with Minghu Culture.

Therefore, Xiong Chengchao knows that his task today is to go around and use his keen sense of box office trends to capture and analyze the future box office trend of this movie.

After receiving the task, Xiong Chengchao subconsciously wanted to say goodbye and go to work, but at this time, after Zhou Yanghua had finished giving him instructions, he immediately turned to look at Du Weiyun and asked, "Old Du, have you read this "Red Sorghum"?" ? You analyze it with me, it is "Red Sorghum" a literary film, how did it explode?"

Hearing this question, Xiong Chengchao hesitated for a moment, almost raised his buttocks, and then lowered them back down.

Unexpectedly, Du Weiyun pushed 256 and shook his head, "I didn't see it!"

Zhou Yanghua stared.

Du Weiyun spread his hands, "I was still soaking in the printing factory a few days ago, waiting to copy it out to see the effect. It's not like you don't know, how can I have the heart to go to the movies!"

Zhou Yanghua sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Xiong Chengzhao knew that Du Weiyun didn't want to get involved in these matters, and if he continued to stay, he would not hear any expert analysis, so he got up and left.

But, once again, without waiting for him to raise his butt, Zhou Yanghua suddenly asked him again: "Cheng Chao..."

"Why……"

Xiong Chengchao's butt fell back onto the sofa.

Zhou Yanghua asked: "Your opinion, you are in charge of theater chains, you are most sensitive to changes in box office trends, and you have your own criteria for judging the works of various companies, directors, actors, etc., then you Let me tell you, when is the best time for Old Du's "Lonely Smoke in the Desert"?"

Hearing Zhou Yanghua ask this, Du Weiyun also turned to look at Xiong Chengchao with great concern.

This was planned in advance. After all, this is the company's largest production this year. As a theater manager, I observed the box office market and the schedules of various companies in advance to find a schedule that is most likely to hit the box office. It is also one of my important responsibilities.

Therefore, after Xiong Chengchao sat back, almost without thinking, he replied: "This year's big productions are not too many, but there are also many. The biggest ones, except for Mr. Du's "Great Desert Smoke", "Yellow Feihong's A Man Should Be Self-Reliant" and Qin Wei's "Golden Terrace" are definitely the most important."

After a pause, he continued to analyze: "Judging from the current situation and the tone revealed by Minghu Culture, the second part of "Once Upon a Time" should be scheduled for the period from the end of June to the beginning of July. No! And "Golden Terrace"... Based on the information I have collected, I judge that Qin Wei is very likely to want to step on "Huang Feihong" for the second time!"

"So...if I don't make too many mistakes in my judgment, the two movies should have another battle this year, just like in April and May last year, this time...about the beginning of July Other than that, we don’t have any big opponents yet.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yanghua asked with concern: "I remember that Minghu Culture has fixed a movie some time ago? It seems to be called "Big Name"? It is Feng Bicheng's new movie, right? When is it scheduled?"

When Feng Bicheng was mentioned, Xiong Chengchao smiled——Feng Bicheng's film was finished, but he himself had already become a joke in the entire domestic film circle.

But at this time, after laughing it off, Xiong Chengchao still seriously replied: "The chairman is right, it is Feng Bicheng's "Big Wrist"! Minghu Culture has set him a date of April 20th!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but analyze: "That time slot, before the summer vacation, was relatively empty. According to the movie's previous promotion as a low-cost urban comedy, this time slot is selected It’s good, mainly because the competition is relatively small.”

Zhou Yanghua nodded, and immediately asked: "What do you think of this movie?"

Xiong Chengchao hesitated for a moment, and answered cautiously: "At present, this film has not had any trial viewing, so there is no detailed situation to analyze. It's just that Feng Bicheng's reputation in the industry is very bad now, and he was under the huge pressure back then. The pressure is to stay in Minghu Culture to make films, so when talking about him with friends, everyone generally doesn't think much of his "Big Name"."

After a pause, he added: "For this movie, the good news is that the screenwriter of this movie is Li Qian, and all the TV dramas written by Li Qian in the past have become popular, and all the movies have sold well! In addition , the heroine of this movie is Bai Yujing. Although so far, it is difficult to say that Bai Yujing has any box office appeal. She has acted in several movies and the box office is very average, so her current position should be regarded as TV star, but after all, her acting in Li Qian's script is a publicity point, and there should be a lot of white lady audiences who will be willing to buy it."

Zhou Yanghua nodded frequently when he heard the words. When he finished listening, he turned his head to look at Du Weiyun, "Old Du, how about we set it up at the end of April or the beginning of May?"

Du Weiyun laughed when he heard this.

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Are you just so brooding? So you want to step on a movie about Minghu culture?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanghua's face flashed a violent look, but the gloom on his face could not be dispelled, "You don't know how crazy that Qi Jie was talking back then!"

"She said they have no shortage of attendance! Old Du, think about it, someone talking to me like that, how crazy!"

Du Weiyun thought for a while after hearing the words, smiled confidently, and said: "It's not a big deal in the first place! All right, it's a matter of convenience, then set this time! I'll help you out!"

When Zhou Yanghua heard this, the expression on his face suddenly turned cloudy, and he even couldn't help laughing twice, and excitedly patted Du Weiyun on the shoulder twice, then turned his head to look at Xiong Chengchao, and said vigorously: "Cheng Chao, you Go down now and see how the situation goes! If you feel that the follow-up of "Red Sorghum" doesn't have much power, we won't want it until Minghu Culture's copy is made!"

Xiong Chengchao agreed when he heard the words, got up and left.

After he left, Zhou Yanghua laughed again, and said to Du Weiyun, "Minghu's culture has grown so fast, and now even a literary film like "Red Sorghum" has exceeded 100 million in the first week! There should be someone standing on it!" Come out and step on them, let them understand that Chinese movies are not the world of its Minghu culture!"

After a pause, he said triumphantly: "This is very good, this is very good, you and Qin Wei can be regarded as joining hands! He is awesome, he is responsible for touching "Huang Feihong". Squeeze a soft persimmon! Get rid of that ungrateful villain Feng Bicheng's "Big Man"!"
