The next day, the official website of the General Administration of Culture released the box office data of May Day movies, which shocked many people inside and outside the industry.
"Reign of Beasts" ranked first, with a box office of 82 million on its first day.
"The White Paper Fan" followed closely, with a box office of 69 million on its first day.
"Xingyao Prairie" ranked third, with a first-day box office of 41 million.
"Charlotte" ranked fourth, with a box office of 27 million on the first day...
As soon as this data was announced, many netizens started a heated discussion. Some believed that "White Paper Fan" was better than "Dynasty of Beasts" and should not be ranked second at all. Others believed that "Xingyao Prairie" was
Not worthy of being in the top three.
"Sure enough, I knew that the box office of "Reign of Beasts" would definitely be far ahead. This movie is almost first-class in terms of production and cast. It is really natural for it to achieve such results!"
"The box office of "Xingyao Prairie" is still ranked third?! I also went to see this movie. I was originally going to watch "White Paper Fan", but I couldn't buy a ticket, so I made do with it.
After watching "Xingyao Prairie", this movie is really boring. The whole movie is like a story-telling machine without emotion. It really doesn't deserve to be ranked third!"
"I agree with what you said above. In terms of excitement, I feel that "Charlotte" is definitely no less than "Starry Prairie". As for the reason why it can't do well at the box office...a large part of it is due to the movie scheduling problem in the theater. We have
The nearby theater has not scheduled a few shows of "Charlotte" in total, and strongly requests more screenings. "Charlotte" is indeed worth watching!"
"..."
Amateurs are just competing for the order of these rankings, but when insiders see this data, they are actually surprised by the results of "Charlotte Trouble".
You know, the production cost of "Charlotte Troubles" was only 20 million, and it is now able to have a box office of 27 million on the first day of release, which is something that most movies cannot do.
What's more, the film schedule of "Charlotte Trouble" is only about 7%. With this kind of film schedule, it is already very difficult to have a high box office, let alone compete with those films.
Compared with big-budget movies, the volume has reached 30%.
The fact that "Charlotte Trouble" can achieve such results shows its strength and quality.
Almost all senior filmmakers in the film industry were not surprised when they saw that "Charlotte", which cost only 20 million to produce, had already grossed 27 million at the box office on the first day it was released.
In today's film industry, there are many movies that after investing who knows how much money, the final box office is unbearable and the movie fails miserably.
So when Yang Bei announced that he was about to enter the film industry for the first time, and he would work together as a director, screenwriter and actor, almost no one thought highly of him. They all thought that Yang Bei was a typical arrogant person, and in the end he was
It will definitely end in failure.
However, now the box office of the movie has slapped everyone in the face. "Charlotte", with less than 10% of the film schedule, can actually compete with the big-budget movies with 30% of the film schedule.
Up and down.
Such box office results have also made many well-known directors and screenwriters in the film industry become curious and prepare to go to the cinema to find out what it is about "Charlotte" that attracts the audience, so that it can have
Such box office results.
…
Beimang Company, inside Gaomang's office.
"Yang Bei, have you seen that "Charlotte's Sorrow" actually paid back its money on the first day it was released?"
Gao Mang was beaming with joy. What was displayed on his computer was the updated page from the official website of the General Administration of Culture. Yang Bei was standing next to Gao Mang. The two of them checked the box office results together.
Yang Bei actually expected that the box office of "Charlotte Trouble" would not be too bad, but he did not expect that the box office would reach 27 million on the first day of release, and the number of films was still being scheduled.
In less than ten percent of cases.
Yang Bei smiled. He was also very happy. After all, this was also his first attempt at being a director. It was already a very remarkable thing that his debut film could achieve such box office results.
"It's only the first day of release, and it has already paid back. No matter how the box office changes in the future, it will definitely be a profitable business!"
Gao Mang beamed, thinking that "Charlotte Trouble" would definitely be a box office hit, Gao Mang felt that his happiness was beyond words.
"That's right, and the number of films scheduled will definitely increase again. Then we just have to wait for people from the cinema to contact us."
Yang Bei nodded, confirming what Gao Mang meant.
"If the number of films scheduled increases, the box office will definitely be very high!"
If the film schedule of "Charlotte" can reach 30%, the box office performance will definitely not be any worse than "Reign of Beasts".
Outside the office, everyone at Beimang Entertainment was extremely happy.
"I didn't expect that Brother Bei, who was only involved in movies for the first time, could achieve such good results. It's really an exaggeration!"
In the tea room, several employees gathered together and chatted.
"No, you didn't follow the crew, so you don't know that when Brother Bei was a director, he was even worse than directors in other majors. It's strictly terrifying!"
"Isn't this strictly a result? A movie with an investment cost of only 20 million now can have a box office of 27 million on the first day of release. This is not something ordinary people can do, and Brother Bei is still the first
As a director for the first time, you can imagine the effort behind it..."
"How about saying that Brother Bei is excellent? Have you ever heard of a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Doesn't Brother Bei perfectly interpret the meaning of this sentence? In the past, such excellent people often
The pressure and pain we endure are many times that of ordinary people like us!"
"..."
Several employees chatted with each other, not noticing Gao Mang passing by the tea room. Gao Mang also heard everyone's chat, and she slowly stopped.
Gao Mang suddenly felt sorry for Yang Bei. Until now, she had only noticed the number of films scheduled for "Charlotte" and the box office. She had never thought about how much effort Yang Bei put into this movie.
And now the box office of "Charlotte Troubles" has already recovered its original price on the first day, and it can become a benchmark among low-cost movies. Of course, Yang Bei's efforts behind the scenes are also the most important part...
