Chapter 091: Fan Xiaopang, Monthly Box Office Champion

"Tu tuk--"

"Who? Please come in!" Zhang Ran was knocked at the door of the hotel. Zhang Ran asked who it was, but then he thought, who else could it be?

The filming progress of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" is very good. The crew I thought of needs to be adjusted, but the wasted time has not happened.

On the fourth day of filming, Fan Xiaopang's scene was completed and he became the first actor to leave the crew.

During this period, Hua Jie took most of the actors in Hua Yi agency, and the news that Hua Yi almost hollowed out Hua Yi is rampant. Shuangbing became the key figure that both sides are fighting for.

In comparison, Fan Xiaopang knows a little more than the other one.

Fan Xiaopang learned that just a while ago, during the promotion of "Crazy Stone" in the imperial capital, Zhang Ran had contacted two bosses, Huayi. Later, he learned from insiders that the two bosses praised Zhang Ran and had an unusual attitude.

The sensitive Fan Xiaopang could probably guess something. Although he was not sure what Zhang Ran had talked with the eldest and younger kings, he had finally established some friendships.

Now, before leaving the crew of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots", Fan Xiaopang just wanted to inquire about the news.

"It's me." Fan Xiaopang pushed the door and came in. After seeing Zhang Ran, he lowered his head and owed his body.

"Come in, sit down, I won't be entertaining."

At this time, Zhang Ran was reading a newspaper. This was a habit that Zhang Ran had developed since he came back from Xiangjiang. He had to pay attention to the big and small things happening in the circle every day, see if there was any useful information to him, and see if he could use it later.

"Producer Zhang, I'm leaving the crew tomorrow." Fan Xiaopang first tried to see if Zhang Ran cared about her.

Zhang Ran naturally had no idea and just snorted: "Yes."

"I wonder if there will be any chance to collaborate in the future? Well, I mean the movie. If I have the chance, I am willing to act in a friendly manner." Fan Xiaopang's posture was very low.

Fan Xiaopang is quite good at present. Since she is willing to play in a friendly role, Zhang Ran naturally doesn’t mind and works with Fan Xiaopang again.

Zhang Ran revealed to Fan Xiaopang a little: "There may be another movie at the end of the year, but the director is going to replace him.

The theme of the movie may be related to the Spring Festival travel rush, but your scenes are still similar to the image of an urban beauty, and there are not many scenes.

If you are willing, I will send you a message if you want to."

Ning Hao is about to get married after filming "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots". He has to rest for a while and will not prepare for filming for at least half a year.

Zhang Ran cannot be idle. First, Qunying Film and Television is at its best time to develop, and second, it is backed by Shangying and has no shortage of funds and resources. How much advantage can you take now, you must hurry up and take more.

Therefore, Zhang Ran is preparing to join forces with Tu Zheng to shoot "Lost in the Road" at the end of the year.

As for what movies I will shoot next year, I will talk about them next year. Anyway, Zhang Ran is not very anxious.

Zhang Ran’s plan is currently this, and Zhang Ran has also revealed some of it to Tu Zheng, so Tu Zheng is currently serving as an assistant director for Ning Hao, and he is very active.

Fan Xiaopang asked for another drama appointment from Zhang Ran, and he was very happy and felt that the trip was worth it.

But Fan Xiaopang is a little greedy and wants more. But this is what adults think, I want them all.

Fan Xiaopang continued: "I will definitely spare the schedule.

By the way, producer Zhang, can you waste some of your time?

Now, I have encountered a problem, and you may have heard of it. I wonder if I can help me with some details?

I think our relationship is OK? I wonder if I can tell this question in front of you now.”

Zhang Ran put down the newspaper and said calmly: "I wish to hear it carefully."

"Not long ago, my godmother, Wang Jinhua, left Huayi with many colleagues and artists in the company.

My godmother has been contacting me recently, but the company boss is also calling me.

Both sides have kindness to me, it's like a mother and a father. The two have divorced. What should I do now?"

Fan Xiaopang is serious.

Zhang Ran smiled when he heard this, "Since you have a very clear understanding of this issue, why is it difficult to make a decision?

If a normal family gets divorced, who will the child go with? The child is still young and needs the care of his mother, so let’s go with his mother.

If he grows up and wants to enter society, his father is rich and powerful, then he will naturally follow him.

If parents are rich and powerful, it depends on who loves him more and what are the bad choices?”

Huayi, who Zhang Ran invested in, naturally had to help Huayi speak. Of course, he didn't say anything by name, but just gave Fan Xiaopang a reasonable reference.

When Fan Xiaopang heard this, he made a decision in his heart.

This time, Huayi did not use the "Mo Gong" project to retain Fan Xiaopang, but he was looking for a suitable new director at Beijing Film Academy. He also planned to shoot two or three small-cost movies, including those who let Fan Xiaopang be the heroine.

Although low-cost movies are not good enough for companies like Huayi, Huayi's main film project next year will be Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet".

There is "Night Banquet" to support the scene, and there are a few small-budget movies, that is, green leaves and red flowers, which complement each other well.

Previously, Fan Xiaopang was always a supporting actress in a movie, and now she has a chance to be a female lead, which is a relatively good resource.

Besides, the top students of Beijing Electric Power are directors. Didn’t Ning Hao also come from Beijing Electric Power?

Fan Xiaopang felt that maybe he could get the moon first when he was close to the water?

Nowadays, female celebrities don’t marry wealthy families, so they are just teaming up with famous directors.

Fan Xiaopang got the answer he wanted, so he didn't have so many ideas about Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran didn't think about being used?

After a few days, Fan Xiaopang learned that he had invested in Huayi and became a shareholder of Huayi. At that time, I wonder what expression would appear on Fan Xiaopang's face?

Zhang Ran is looking forward to it.

On the crew of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots", Zhang Ran helped Ning Hao and Tu Zheng. After ten days of work, he was called back to the Magic City by General Ren on the TV series.

Mr. Ren asked Zhang Ran to go back mainly because of the box office results of "Crazy Stone".

"Crazy Stone" was released for 17 days, with a total box office of 39 million, and is expected to target the monthly box office champion in September this year.

Although "Seven Swords" is the monthly box office champion with cumulative box office, "Seven Swords" has a cumulative box office of only 42 million so far, which is not much greater than "Crazy Stone".

You know, "Seven Swords" was released nearly two weeks ago than "Crazy Stone".

From this we can judge that the box office potential of "Crazy Stone" is even stronger than that of "Seven Swords".

And there are more than two days left before the end of this month.

With the release of "War of the World", the volume of screenings in both "Crazy Stone" and "Seven Swords" has been greatly reduced.

Nowadays, "Seven Swords" only has a box office of about 300,000 yuan per day, while "Crazy Stone" still has more than 1 million yuan.

Unlike "Seven Swords", "Crazy Stone" is not strictly released nationwide, but is a box office harvest through regional concentrated screenings.

"Crazy Stone" has not been screened in many provinces. Recently, with the box office potential of United Cinemas, United Cinemas has been very small. Out of the 60 copies of the movie left by United Cinemas, 50 are being drawn and transferred to other theaters to screen "Crazy Stone" in turn.

Mr. Liu from the China Film Distribution Company is preparing to discuss with them to recycle fifty or sixty of them for signing new screening agreements with other theaters.

At present, theaters across the country mainly copy film rather than digital copies.

Although film copying is expensive to make and is rather wasteful, it is not restricted by digital copy screening keys.

In other words, if theaters are willing to play movies in film copies, it doesn't matter if you show them for a year.

The rumored "Shaolin Temple" in the 1980s has won a box office of 160 million yuan.

Little did they know that it had been screened in the country for more than 9 months.

Classic old movies like "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Mysterious Buddha" have been screened for a year and a half.

The popular domestic movies can basically be screened for two months.

But that doesn't mean it was shown for two months in the same theater.

The model is roughly like this: the first month or the first three weeks of the movie being released will be screened in several first-class theaters (United, China Film Studios, Xin Film League, etc.).

The three weeks in the middle were screened in another batch of theaters (Xichuan Pacific, Zhejiang Province Times, Helan Oscars, etc.).

In the end, a few or even dozens of loose and remote theaters were replaced to show the screenings.

It is precisely because of this that bad movies and art films basically do not last more than 20 days.

Even Hollywood movies usually only take six weeks to screen.

This can be done by the film producer, and the distributor can save money on promotion and distribution (mainly the cost of film copying), and secondly, it can make the theater companies that lack the ability and cannot attract excellent film sources and get a share.

Today's movie screening model is a bit like the TV series sales model.

First, there was a four-star broadcast, followed by a second round of star-shot broadcast by other satellite TV stations, and finally the ground station bombardment took turns.

Having said that, "Seven Swords" has been screened for five weeks. Although it is still being screened in other theaters, the increase in box office is no longer obvious.

The weekly box office is basically around two million, and the second round of screenings of "Crazy Stone" has just begun.

This is hard to say, can "Crazy Stone" surpass "Seven Swords" in the last few days and top the box office in September.

Of course, "Crazy Stone" not only compares "Seven Swords", but also "War of the World" which has been screened for 4 days.

"War of the World" was released on August 25th, and it was Thursday. Although the box office in the first weekend was 12 million, the daily box office was actually not as good as "Crazy Stone".

However, as a Hollywood blockbuster, it is a luxurious lineup of international directors and international stars, and it is still very attractive at the moment.

But then again, the plot is a bit bad, the highlights of the movie are all about special effects, and Chinese people are not particularly interested in aircraft wars with aliens.

In addition, "Seven Swords" and "Crazy Stone" have been released this month, and many viewers can no longer afford to watch expensive Hollywood blockbusters like "War of the World".

To a certain extent, the ticket price of "War of the World" is set too high, which has become a major constraint on box office growth.

Although this will make the box office of "War of the World" better in the first weekend, the subsequent box office potential will definitely decline a lot.

Mr. Ren called Zhang Ran to discuss with Zhang Ran. In order to attract more audiences to the cinema, United Cinema will launch 30% off tickets and even 60% off tickets for "Crazy Stone".

The ticket price of United Cinemas is not high, and the 30% discount ticket to attract the audience of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is basically a loss of money and gaining publicity.

But this move is also to increase the influence of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, expand the business scope of theaters, and increase revenue capacity.

This will definitely be beneficial to United Cinemas and Shanghai Film Group.

But for the overall box office of "Crazy Stone", it will slightly reduce future box office revenue by several million.

This has also truly harmed the interests of Zhang Ran, an investor.
