World-class directors in the entertainment industry
Chapter 20 First Day Box Office
"The new director boldly stated that the movie box office has a small goal of 100 million."
"A qualified commercial film with a funny plot and a hint of educational significance. New director Qin Dong allows everyone to see the birth of a talented director. [People on the Road to Spring] is a Spring Festival movie worth watching.
Excellent film."
"The messy plot uses rural people as a model to reflect migrant workers, just like a certain sketch king. Such people and works should be removed from the shelves, as they have ruined the morals of the country."
"Out of 10 points, [Journey to Spring] can get 8 points, one laugh after another. In the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, it is very suitable for the whole family to watch. The movie focuses on China's unique annual population boom.
Migration.”
"A morally corrupt person has made a disgusting film, [Journey to the Road]. This obscene film has made the Chinese people laugh less. A student who openly beats a girl in school is a work made by such a person."
, why can it be released?”
"A new director who speaks arrogantly thinks he can be compared to the Oscar-winning director James Cuaron. Although the movie "Embarrassed" is very good and worth watching, the new director Qin Dong's
The big words really left the author speechless.”
...
On the night of the premiere, many people and online news reported on the movie "Embarrassed in Spring".
There are good reviews, but there are also a lot of criticisms.
In the office of [Da Qin Empire Entertainment Company].
Qin Dong looked at the news on the Internet with a sneer on his face.
You can tell at a glance who wrote the bad words in these comments. Part of it must have been the work of the financial boss who cuckolded his ex-girlfriend, and part of it must have been the work of the entertainment company that pushed him along.
It is normal for colleagues to hope that their peers will die.
"You two bastards, let's see how long you can dance around."
Thinking of this cuckold, Qin Dong thought coldly.
Don't think that if he doesn't speak or speak out, he just doesn't take any action and everything is going on secretly.
...
It was already midnight, and the lights of Daqin Empire Entertainment Company were still brightly lit. There were many people staying here at this time, and everyone was not in the mood to get off work, so they were all waiting.
Qin Dong originally wanted to go back, but when he saw that no one in the company had left, and he, the general manager, left, the atmosphere was ruined.
Until around 12 o'clock at night...
The text message on Xu Li's cell phone rang. After seeing it, she immediately stood up and shouted loudly:
"Mr. Qin, the zero o'clock box office has been calculated, and someone from China Film Group has sent a message."
"How much?" Before Qin Dong could speak, the other people left behind asked anxiously.
"1.12 million."
The number was not high, but Xu Li was very happy and shouted out with excitement on her face.
"More than one million..."
"yeah..."
"Okay, it worked."
Qin Dong just smiled when he heard this. This box office was a drop in the bucket for Qin Dong who came from later generations, but others were happy.
The zero-point box office was 1.12 million, which may not seem high, but is actually pretty good.
A three-no film costs only 10 million, this is the data released to the public.
Tomorrow is the first day of the movie's official release. Based on zero box office estimates, it's still over five million, or at least half of the movie's cost. What does this mean? It means that the movie will definitely not lose money and will still be profitable.
You must know that most of the current domestic domestic films are actually losing money.
The number of profitable films is too few.
The company's first movie is bound to make a profit, so people are naturally excited and happy.
"Hey, Lao Qin, why aren't you excited?"
Zhou Shan was a little confused when he saw Qin Dong's appearance.
What can Qin Dongneng say? He said that future generations can earn hundreds of millions at the box office every day. This kind of person who just made one million really can't be happy.
"I'm so happy. I was just stunned. I didn't expect that the first movie would make money. Although I had a premonition, it really happened. I'm so happy that I can't express my feelings."
Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment, feeling that these words were a bit strange.
Coupled with Qin Dong's expression, it seemed like there was something wrong with it.
But I forgot in the blink of an eye that the first movie made by the dormitory brothers was a success and it was worth celebrating.
Many restaurants in Kyoto are still open in the middle of the night.
Qin Dong didn't want to spoil the fun, so he simply took all the company's employees to have a drink.
....
He didn't get up until noon the next day and didn't go out at all. Qin Dong squatted at home and read the script he had written, sorted it out again, and then started writing the storyboard script.
Regarding the crew's road show, Qin Dong left it to Wang Baobao and Xu Shan.
Anyway, Qin Dong is too lazy to travel around the major cities across the country.
As for being on TV shows, forget it, they are all entertainment programs from second-rate TV stations, and there are currently no offers from real first-tier TV stations.
I heard that if these TV stations have big productions and big star crews, then the TV stations want to hire people to record the programs.
For a low-budget film like Qin Dong, you have to pay the TV station and see if it can be ranked.
As a result, Qin Dong stayed in Kyoto and refused to go anywhere.
I was busy working until midnight before going to bed. As soon as I fell asleep, the phone rang.
"Who is it?" Qin Dong answered the phone angrily, with a very bad tone.
"Oh, it's you, do you know what time it is?"
"The box office came out today? How much? 7.86 million?"
"Okay, I understand, that's it, hang up."
Qin Dong, who felt sleepy, hung up after listening to it, and then fell into a deep sleep.
7.86 million is pretty good, but it still doesn’t stop someone from sleeping.
...
Daqin Empire Entertainment Company.
"this..."
Looking at the hung up phone, Wang Kai was confused and turned to look at Zhou Shan, Cai Dachun, Xu Li and others.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Shan asked.
Wang Kai didn't seem to react: "It's dead. After I told you about today's box office, Lao Qin hung up, as if he didn't feel anything. Isn't this his movie?"
"What a big heart."
In the end, everyone agreed that Qin Dong had a big heart.
Obviously this is his company, and this is also his first movie, yet it's so casual.
Let’s just say that everyone came to the company today and stayed at the company in the evening so that they could know the box office data as soon as possible. However, a certain man didn’t come to the company. He didn’t even care when he called him and hung up the phone after hearing it. It was really speechless.
reflection.
...
"The sky is high and the sun is short, so the king will not come to court early."
Qin Dong was awakened from his sleep by the light of the sun, and continued to lie lazily for a while before getting up.
After washing, I woke up and recalled the phone call in the middle of the night last night.
"The box office on the first day was 7.86 million?"
Qin Hu took the phone and looked at the record above. After thinking about the content, he paused, smiled on his face, and came to the company in a happy mood.
"Mr. Qin."
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
Qin Dong waved his hand casually. After arriving at the office, he took out his phone and called the director of the distribution department of China Film.
"Hey, Director Gao, I'm Qin Dong."
"Then what I want to ask is [Journey to the Road: Lost in Spring], which received a box office of 7.86 million on the first day with a 12% filming rate. How is this data?"
"Very good? The director has already agreed, so let me give you some advice."
"Should I improve the film schedule for this movie? What? There are so many blockbuster movies, there is no room for film schedule?"
"Director, I'm not saying bad things about others. If you look at online reviews, many blockbusters have bad reviews and cost so much, but the box office plummets after a few days of release. Why not cut off part of the film schedule and give it to "Journey to the Road"? You always
Say yes?"
"Which ones?, this is what you asked, director, so let me tell you straight away, for example, [Future Law Enforcer], [Beggars], and [Xiuchun Flying Fish]. Don't look at this movie, which received 57 million at the box office in the first week.
, but now the reputation has dropped, and the box office has plummeted. From my point of view, this blockbuster, which cost over 100 million, will die if the final box office score is 150 million, and it will definitely be a huge loss."
"Hey, director, I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. If I guess right, I hope China Film Group will give me a discount on my second movie. How about a smaller share?"
"Okay, then it's settled."
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Director Gao. Try to cut as many spicy chicken movies as possible. "Pandora" has been in theaters for so long, so you can cut it if you can."
"Haha, that kid is out of the way, bye."
