Chapter 341 First Day Box Office
Especially the number of people participating in the rating was only 18. This number was too small, and it was too accidental.
Lu Yang came to Wen Chou Primitive Group and told everyone about this matter. He asked everyone to help vote for more than 10 points! After several years of precipitation, almost 80% of the book fans in Wen Chou Primitive Group have become Lu Yang's hardcore book fans. When Lu Yang talked about the matter and asked to mention it, dozens of book fans online and diving immediately emerged.
Everyone said everything, but none of them said they were unwilling to help.
Big Love Wood = Rebirth: "That's it? Little Ca! Brothers are standing side by side!"
Lan?ren: "Is it finally our turn to play? 10 points, right? Wait!"
Thunder God Group: "Brothers! It's time for the world to see the combat effectiveness of our Wen Chou army! I'm the only one!"
Lizhi Township: "I'm the one!"
A set of old clothes: "I'm the one!"
Brother Yuan: "Brothers, come on! Bite him to death!"
The car on the asphalt road: "Dear brothers, take me one!"
The evil boy Liu Yidao: "There is such a thing? How can I miss this kind of thing?"
The lonely cloud: "Brothers quietly enter the village, don't want to shoot!"
Gao Energy Warning: "Although this kind of thing is not as satisfying as a widow, it is better than nothing! Wen Da must give face! Brothers, please help me!"
Sui Fengju: "I was going to move a small stool and watch you pretend to be silly. Now! Roll up your sleeves! gogogo! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
...
Wen Chou: "I'm here for help, brothers!"
Thank you everyone in the group. Lu Yang also mentioned this in six other book fan groups. There were 7 groups of 3,500 book fans, even if some were not online, some added several groups at the same time, and those who were not very hard-core, together, hundreds of book fans responded to Lu Yang's call and went to Time.com to rate "The Gate of Rebirth".
Many people do not have an account on Time.com, but can this little thing block the enthusiasm of these enthusiastic book fans?
So, it was just one night. When Lu Yang turned on the computer the next morning and logged into Time Network, "The Gate of Rebirth" suddenly had 1,200 people participating in the rating. The rhythm of the popular video was exactly the same.
Before this was over, Lu Yang immediately logged into the Qidian Author's backstage and released three new chapters in one go. It was over. He opened a single chapter after the chapter. In the single chapter, he asked everyone to go to the cinema to buy tickets and watch movies, and also asked friends who have time to help you go to Time to score a 10-point score.
On Time.com, the ratings and number of participants in "Rebirth" not only increased, but also exceeded 1,000 reviews. Many fans who don't know who Wen Chou is and who are not interested in "Rebirth" enter this page. They are shocked immediately.
The number of participants who participated in the score exceeded 1,220. More than 1,000 reviews were posted. Let’s see the premiere date, February 1st, yesterday?
So powerful?
What about "007 Casino Royale"?
After three days of release, the number of people participating in the ratings exceeded 700, and the number of reviews exceeded 500, but "007 Casino Royale"!
This new film called "Rebirth Gate" has just been released for one day, and the number of people participating in the rating and reviews exceeded that of "007 Casino Royale"? Are you mistaken?? It's too amazing?
In any case, as long as you see "Rebirth" ratings and unanimously praised film reviews on Time.com, you will be shocked by this small-budget movie.
It is difficult to forget in a short period of time. Some movie fans who are not short of money are already thinking about whether to watch this movie and see if it is really so good.
At around 10 a.m. on February 2, Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa came together, knocking on Lu Yang's door, holding a stack of freshly baked newspapers in their hands, and there was a report at the top of the newspaper.
When entering the door, Lu Yang noticed that the two of them looked a little strange, and they couldn't say whether they were happy or disappointed.
"Wen Da! Yesterday's first day of box office statistics were released! Here!"
Wang Lin handed all the newspapers and reports in front of Lu Yang. Lu Yang looked at the expressions of the two of them in confusion and invited them to sit in the room. Cao Xue was already making tea for them with paper cups.
The three men sat down at the coffee table. Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa did not speak for the time being, and signaled Lu Yang to read the report and the newspaper first. Lu Yang was confused and first looked at the report at the top of the newspaper.
Movie: "The Gate of Rebirth"
Release date: February 1
Number of theaters released: 52
Releases: 208 times
Ticket price: 30-45 yuan
Total box office on the first day: 546,242 yuan
...
Lu Yang is a completely layman in the movies. Most of his inner knowledge about movies in his memory is seen from the movies online novels in his previous lives. In memory, the protagonists of the novels who made movies, at least hundreds of theaters were released at the same time when the movie was released. If the protagonists were mixed in Hollywood, a new movie would be released at every two or three thousand theaters at the same time. In this way, many of the protagonists of the novels felt that there were too few theaters released.
Now it's the movies I invested in, there are only 52? Lianhe Cinemas are one of the theater giants in the country, just like that? There are only 23 provinces, four municipalities, five autonomous regions, two special administrative regions, and 52 cinemas are released in the country. This is the average of two cinemas in each provincial administrative region!
Can such a few theaters be released to sell high box office?
There were only 208 episodes nationwide yesterday. Are you playing stand-alone?
The ticket price is pretty good. The total box office on the first day below is more than 540,000, which made Lu Yang a little satisfied, but...
Looking at the ticket price of 30-45 yuan, Lu Yang had a question and asked Wang Lin: "Why are our ticket prices still floating? Is there a part of them discounted?"
This obviously amateur's words made Wang Lin laugh. Dai Qingwa, who was smoking, was also choked by the cigarette. Wang Lin laughed and held back his smile and explained: "This is normal! Each theater has different grades and scales, and the equipment and decorations are slightly worse. The ticket price is 30, and better theaters sell for 35, 38, 40, and 45!"
"Why is it that only 52 theaters premiered?"
Lu Yang is most concerned about this issue now. There are too few 52 companies. Which city in the country does not have a few dozen cinemas? There is a cinema in the small county town in Lu Yang’s hometown.
People who are engaged in entertainment say that the market for more than one billion people in mainland China is generally only one month after the release of a movie. In a month, 52 theaters, even if the attendance rate reaches 80%, how many box office can it be sold?
Wang Lin: "You don't have to worry about this. A movie like us that is not well-known for its small cost, directors, screenwriters and starring. When it was first released, it was impossible for many theaters. The theater chain needs to see the market reaction. As long as the attendance rate of the theater a few days ago is OK, even if we don't communicate with the theater chain, they will automatically increase the theater screenings themselves!"
Lu Yang: "Then why did you look like that when you came in just now? The box office of 540,000 on the first day is OK, right? Even if the movie's attendance rate drops in the later stages, there should be no problem in recovering the cost, right?"
Back to Lu Yang's question, Dai Qingwa, who saw Dai Qingwa shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that easy! Generally speaking, a new movie will have the highest box office on the first day. After that, it gradually decreases. According to the current trend, our movie's final box office may not be able to reach 10 million! Lu Yang, you may think that it doesn't matter if it's less than 10 million, as long as it exceeds 6 million, you can get the capital back! In fact, this is not the case at all! After the box office comes out, the National Film Development Special Fund will first withdraw 5%, which is the share of the distribution party, theaters, and the contract we signed can only get 35%. You can calculate yourself. How much can we get for a box office of 10 million? About 3 million! Only with a box office of 20 million can we get the capital back!"
Speaking of this, while wearing green tiles continued to smoke, Wang Lin sighed lightly, and Cao Xue, who was already sitting next to him, frowned slightly.
Is this a rhythm of losing more than three million?
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and the situation was even more serious than he thought.
No wonder the giants such as Shaw Brothers and Jiahe were ultimately unsustainable. The risk of investing in movies is too great!
"Wang Lin! How did the navy army look for?"
When Lu Yang asked this question, Wang Lin smiled a little, but he still didn't have any confidence. Yesterday, when Lu Yang just talked to him about the Internet navy, he heard it and felt that this move was indeed very novel and should be very effective. But after he went back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt unsure.
After all, I heard that anyone has used this trick. No one has used it, so it is impossible to judge whether this will work. What he is worried about now is that the hiring of the navy army can play a role, and whether he can earn back the cost of hiring the navy army, so as not to lose more because of this.
"More than a thousand people have been found!"
"Then let's start! I have posted the posts I need to use to your q`q email address, and do it now! Try to make our movie famous before "Love Call Transfer" is released! One thousand people are not enough! Add two thousand people!"
Lu Yangrui stared at Wang Lin with a sharp look and said his decision.
Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa were both shocked, and Cao Xue, who was standing beside him, also looked at Lu Yang in surprise.
Wang Lin hesitated and said, "Wen Da! Adding 3,000 people will cost a lot of money! According to what you said, the top posts are all 50 cents per person, and more than 2,000 people will cost a lot of money in a day! Adding 3,000 people will cost a lot of money, have you calculated how much money you want?"
Lu Yang: "Success, failure, this is a hit! 007, we will definitely not be able to overcome it! But "Love Call Transfer" and "Disciples" are too close to us! We must make our fame before they are released! Today is the first shot! The more people the waters, the better! In the next week, I will see that the most famous movies on the Internet are our movies! After a week, it will be reduced to one thousand people. From the third week, everything you should know should be known. It can be reduced to five hundred people, and the most popular one week... It depends on the situation!"
When Lu Yang said this, he seemed very firm. Wang Lin, Dai Qingwa and Cao Xue did not dare to refute it. After Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa left, Cao Xue came over worriedly. While pinching Lu Yang's shoulder, he said worriedly: "Lu Yang! You are like a gambler now! You may lose more and more!"
Lu Yang closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't know that this was a bet?
It’s okay to win, but once you lose, the four or five million you spend will probably lose half of the money! He made the decision to increase the number of naval soldiers, so naturally Wang Lin couldn’t pay it alone.
The more than 3,000 naval troops, even if one person only gives fifty yuan a day, the amount to be paid in one day will exceed 150,000 yuan! If these naval troops are very diligent, they may have to turn up twice as much.
The navy alone will spend so much money in a day. The box office of "Rebirth" of "The Gate of Rebirth" was only about 150,000 yuan yesterday, which was only about 150,000 yuan.
Gambler?
Maybe it is!
Before the last moment, Lu Yang did not want to give up his efforts. This was the first movie he had written and invested in. If he failed the first time, who would still have confidence in the movie he invested in?
After thinking silently for a while, Lu Yang opened his eyes and began to look at the newspapers Wang Lin brought over.
Wang Lin bought seven or eight newspapers about movies, the top one was "China Film News". Lu Yang opened it and saw that the headline on the front page of the homepage was "007 Casino Royale".
In the film review section, "007 Casino Royale" is so popular. The second is "Trump" starring twins, Sammo Hung and Wu Jing. This movie was released on the 18th of last month.
I turned to the second page and saw the report from "Rebirth Gate" at the bottom of the newspaper. I wonder if Wang Lin stuffed money into this newspaper, but the film reviews praised a few words.
"After the hero died, he actually returned to his youth. This creativity is very novel! The heroine Zhang Li is also eye-catching. At present, the audience's response is OK. As for the final box office, we still need to continue to pay attention!"
The following newspaper is the local "China Film Times" in Shanghai.
Perhaps Wang Lin has a greater influence on local newspapers. In this newspaper, "The Gate of Rebirth" is placed in the middle of the first page, and the film reviews are written for a long time, and there are many more praises.
Chapter completed!
