296. Chapter 296 Scene 296 United Owners
"Director Li~ You're here, come and sit down." Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole coming in, hurriedly lifted a chair and pointed excitedly at the sand table map of the national theaters. The small red flags said: "Look, today's box office is so good, it's so good. We have been released in 14 theaters nationwide and 60 theaters at the same time. In less than 3 hours now, we have won a box office of 599,000 yuan."
As he said that, Han Sanpin pulled out small red flags from the south of the sand table and swayed in front of Li Xiaole:
"This is Tianhe Cinema City in Guangzhou, and his family has a box office of 40,000 yuan. This is the Xintiandi Cinema City in Shanghai, and they sold 38,000 yuan in tickets. Our Chuzhe Huaxing Cinema City in Chuzhe also sold 36,000 yuan in tickets. All six theaters in Wangfujing Cinema in Sichuan and Chengdu were released in "If You Are the One" and were all full..."
Han Xiaoli also put down the phone and pulled down a small red flag on the sand table and smiled: "Old He just called. The Lanzhou Theater in Gansu was forced to open the small hall to be released at the same time due to the insufficient ticket supply of "If You Are the One". I calculated that the number of viewers nationwide is nearly 30,000~"
"Is that true?" Li Xiaole smiled, almost the same as he expected.
"Mr. Han, if we continue like this, as long as we catch pirated copies tightly, it will be a matter of time before the box office exceeds 100 million." Han Xiaoli next to him brought a glass of water and handed it to Han Sanpin, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"How is Yan Jie?" Li Xiaole was curious about the other party's movement. Yan Jie would definitely not let them sell the box office so smoothly.
"Hmph~ What can it be done? They are jumping up and down, and they are also being forced to do so." Han Xiaoli hummed with a disgusted face.
"According to this momentum, we should be cautious and expect the box office to be achieved." Han Sanpin suppressed his excitement and said in a low voice.
"No, Mr. Han, I don't think we can't be too conservative." Li Xiaole looked at Han Sanpin with a hot look.
"Are we conservative?" Han Sanpin felt very strange and didn't understand what Li Xiaole said.
"You are thinking about how to reach the box office of 110 million and overcome this difficulty." Li Xiaole shook his head dissatisfied:
"But think about it carefully, this time we are trying our best to compete with those people head-on. They think this opportunity to step on us is actually the opposite, and this is also our chance to rush them."
"You keep talking." Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole in surprise. He remembered that he was more cautious than anyone else last time, but now why did he act more braver than anyone else? He actually wanted to achieve his best in one battle.
"This principle is very simple." Li Xiaole said calmly:
"Since we have already had a head-on confrontation this time, we will fight harder and set up a box office example without piracy, so that the leaders of the Film Bureau, the Radio and Television Bureau, and the peers, see how much profit the mainland movies can have if they are prevented from piracy. The benefits are the biggest driver. As long as what you do, others will see the benefits of doing this, Yan Jie and others will not only not win, but will lose thoroughly this time. I believe you have a lot of evidence in your hands."
"Well, I have some materials, but I'm not sure if I can intervene them according to death." Han Sanpin hesitated.
"The material is not the key, it is the key to whether our box office can touch people's hearts." Li Xiaole suddenly slowed down and looked at Han Sanpin and said:
"No matter how good the box office of "Hero" is, it is an overseas investment. This time, our "If You Are the One" is an investment in the mainland. As long as we get 200 million yuan on the premise of preventing and controlling the box office, no matter whether the materials for the punishment of Yan Jie are sufficient or not, he will definitely die."
Two hundred million!? Hearing this number made Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli confused, but Han Sanpin immediately reacted. Li Xiaole pointed out a core that he had always ignored. Although this time it seemed to be his own desperate situation, it was actually the best opportunity. It was not that he could not imagine it, but that he had never dared to think about it. He had thought that the box office of 100 million was already unattainable. What is the concept of 200 million box office?
"Then what do you think we should do?" Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole and asked.
"We want to expand the theater chain to allow Huayi, New Pictures, and Bona Film and other big companies in the circle to participate." Li Xiaole said, can the box office reach 200 million? In fact, he is not sure. The film market is a very subtle game, and many factors can change the final outcome. Can the audience accept it better after changing "If You Are the One"? In this era, whether there are enough people willing to enter the cinema is a problem.
However, Li Xiaole believes that as long as all the positive forces in the film industry are united to eliminate piracy and the theater's missed box office, there is no problem with the 200 million box office.
"What do you mean is to hand over the copy to them? That's too risky." Han Xiaoli exclaimed. Generally speaking, such releases that are open to other theaters are all after the pirated version is leaked. If you hand over the copy to other companies to publish, the biggest problem is that they will leak the copy, after all, it is not very much their own movie.
"I understand..." Han Sanpin suddenly realized and clapped his hands:
"As long as we tell the bosses of these companies the ins and outs of our current conflicts with Yan Jie, from their standpoint, as long as they see that we have hope of winning in this battle, they will unconditionally support us because we have the same interests in the face of piracy."
"Yes, the key lies in the box office. Whether our box office can impress them and make them think we will be the winner~" Li Xiaole's eyes were blazing with a hot light, and he seemed to question Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli in a deep voice:
"We are making movies steadily, why are we afraid of these pirated people? They are just maggots sucking our blood. Should we obey them? Or should we be afraid of them? No, since the day we returned to China, I have never obeyed them, and I have never been afraid of them. I came back to play with them to death.
Is there a box office of 200 million? I don’t think it’s much. Without them, even if there is no one billion box office in the mainland, what if I lose this time? If we lose, we can’t make a movie? Should we be convinced even if we lose ten times?
I don’t agree, and I have to make a movie. Even if this movie fails, I have to make another movie. Even if the next movie fails, I have to make another movie. I don’t believe that I can’t beat these people in China.”
Han Sanpin and Han Xiaoli were both shocked by Li Xiaole's low words. They have been working step by step, cautiously and have never tried to take risks like today. In fact, ask yourself, they are really afraid that they will lose their current status. Without him, Han Sanpin, they will support other people. China Film Group will always transform...
And Li Xiaole is not afraid of losing at all, because deep down he loves this industry far more than them, and wants to do all this well. That enthusiasm is more intense and fanatical than them.
"Xiaoli, let Secretary Liu arrange it. Let us go to Xinpai Company, and we both go in person." Han Sanpin also seemed to be infected by his emotions and picked up the fur coat on the hanger.
"Now?" Han Xiaoli asked.
"It's now~" Han Sanpin couldn't wait for a moment. He looked back at Li Xiaole and left a faint sentence: "Director Li, you do your business well, I will handle these things, don't worry."
This sentence is very ordinary, and Li Xiaole does feel the heavy weight of the two words "rest assured".
From the three days since that night, Han Sanpin visited almost the top leaders of all the cinema companies he could visit... From the new picture, Huayi, Polybona, and many young movie brothers, Oh Nas.
The box office of "If You Are the One" continues to boil, with the attendance rate of money in the Chinese theater reaching 85.7%, and even the midnight show in the early morning had an attendance rate of nearly 72%.
The media, who were originally eyeing the love movie starring the two actors, naturally made overwhelming reports.
Zhou Chengan, the famous reporter of the Southern Online News, once ridiculed "Crazy Stone" last time, but this time he changed his position and title: "True love comes, If You Are the One."
A whole film review occupies several sections of this Southern Weekend, explaining the surprises this movie brings to him in an all-round way:
"I once suspected that 21-year-old Li Fengkuan's understanding of middle-aged people's emotions, but after watching this movie written and directed by him, I think Li Fengkuan proved that there are really geniuses in this world. Perhaps he was born with a gene that has insight into human affairs. This movie has two actors, a new actress. It cannot be simple in simple stories, and a clichéd theme - love.
But he really moved me because of his sincerity.
Its picture is typical of Li Cangma, full of vigorous vitality, the film rhythm is smooth and bright, and the 1-minute story outlines the three main characters clearly and vividly. Technically, both editing and music are excellent, at least above the level.
But none of these matters. It really touched me was the sincerity in the movie. I don’t know whether Li Xiaole dared to sit in the ground with the audience in front of the screen based on calmness and confidence in his creative ability in a similar "clumsy" way, directly sitting on the ground with the audience in front of the screen, discussing universal value propositions, love, friendship, and hope.
The only downside is that Li Xiangshan should not be alive at the end, and if he dies, then the movie may be perfect.
After a series of praise, the famous entertainment reporter commented on Li Xiaole's control over emotions: "From the previous videos, Li Crazy has technically made him top in the circle, but his handling of emotions is still stuck in the minds of teenagers, but in "If You Are the One", he completely transformed and became a great director with insight into human nature. Especially the scene between Qin Fen and Liang Xiaoxiao was simply amazing. The moment when Qin Fen's feelings broke out, the power of self-striking people's hearts was so huge that I forgot that I was the audience when I watched it..."
"Director Li~ You're here, come and sit down." Han Sanpin looked at Li Xiaole coming in, hurriedly lifted a chair and pointed excitedly at the sand table map of the national theaters. The small red flags said: "Look, today's box office is so good, it's so good. We have been released in 14 theaters nationwide and 60 theaters at the same time.
