The first-day box office statistics are out. The first-day results were pretty good, one million, with an average of $2,000 per theater.
This result is not bad, but it is always a bit regrettable, at least it means that it did not explode.
Something happened on the Internet the next day. A hot topic appeared on a certain BBS. I was almost scared to death while watching a movie.
The title of this topic is also very scary: Is it the annihilation of humanity or the loss of morals? I was frightened into having a heart attack when I went to the cinema.
It seems that the thriller title is not unique to a certain browser. Of course, this matter is still spreading slowly, and Fang Zhe, the boss of the film company, has no idea about it.
After Fang Zhe arrived at the company, he found that director Carl and others were there, and Marilyn was also present as a producer.
The two of them seemed to be in a stable mood, and even Karl was smiling happily. He also seemed very excited to see Fang Zhe.
"Boss, if the box office on the first day is one million, it's stable and you're sure to make money." This director's pursuit is really not high.
Marilyn said calmly: "Boss, according to on-site sampling survey results, the box office in the first week should reach about 4 million, which is quite satisfactory. It is expected that we can eventually negotiate for 1,500 screens."
Fang Zhe is really a layman, so he doesn't plan to express too many professional opinions, but it does not prevent him from pretending to be: "Well, how much is the estimated total box office?" John opened the door and came in to hear this question, and immediately gave a professional opinion.
: "Based on current box office estimates, the total box office in North America can reach about 30 million."
All in all, they made money. Everyone was very happy. Wu Mingzhu, who was accompanying him, also looked surprised. This guy could actually make a profitable movie. He promised not to lose money. Wu Mingzhu did not have high expectations for this movie.
Gao, after all, Fang Zhe is a Chinese. Whether he can grasp the taste of Americans well is a problem in itself.
Unexpectedly, when the box office came out on the first day, everyone thought it would make money. This is great.
"Well, let's go get busy. Let me tell you in advance. The movie has made money and everyone has a bonus." Boss Fang is maintaining the image of others as being stupid and rich in money. Well, now it's not that people are stupid and rich in money, but they are talented.
, a generous person.
In fact, Hollywood has the same standard when it comes to foreign capital: stupid people make more money. There is a special word for this: dumb money. Money from Japan, Germany, and Wall Street all have this word. Not to mention Fang Zhe’s money.
.
What is the total box office of Saw? Fang Zhe remembers that it was more than 50 million, but the specific number has been forgotten. Anyway, the result is better than predicted. Now it seems that the loss is not a loss, but it does not make much profit. It is definitely a regret.
of.
Why invest in movies? This question is actually not difficult to answer. At this stage, there are not many investment channels in the United States. At least Fang Zhe knows that there are not many that can make money. One is Nasdaq, which is already doing this, and the rest are not
Is it just a movie? Other Fang Zhe can't do it either. He is a fool, not a god.
Anyway, investment can reduce taxes and not delay making money, so why not do it?
The movie has just been released, and it’s not time to celebrate yet, so everyone is busy with their own affairs. Marilyn and John have the hardest time, negotiating with other distributors to compete for more screens. Now that the results have come out, it is actually easier to negotiate than before.
Fang Zhe's requirements are not high, but he always reminds everyone that the more the company makes, the more everyone will make.
There is nothing more effective than monetary incentives. Marilyn put aside her fever and talked about the theater chain first.
The next day's box office was a bit weird, 2.8 million. This was a bit scary, more than doubled. Not to mention that Fang Zhe couldn't believe it, every one of the experts in the company thought that the statistics
Wrong. When reporting on the phone, John's voice was shaking: "Boss, this movie seems to be making a lot of money."
"Go and find out if something happened." Fang Zhe behaved more reservedly. Damn it, Wu Mingzhu appeared in front of him again wearing a low-bearing dress. Are you planning to change your career to selling wormwood? I haven't seen you before.
Dress like this.
"It's early in the morning, what do you mean by your twisted expression? Don't I look good in this?" Wu Mingzhu asked knowingly. This woman was not going to let Fang Zhe go, and it was obvious that she wanted to eat this piece of meat no matter what.
"It's getting cold, you'd better be careful and don't catch a cold." Fang Zhe resentfully didn't notice, picked up chopsticks and used chopsticks to deal with the beef noodles in front of him. This was made by Wu Mingzhu, and it tasted really good. Seeing as he was overseas.
The career of studying abroad is indeed more training. In the past, Wu Mingzhu's taste in doing this was just average.
"Don't worry about this, I will wear a coat when I go out." Wu Mingzhu was not in a hurry, she had been waiting for so many years.
"Yesterday's box office came out. It was 2.8 million, close to 3 million. I feel like something is going to happen."
When Wu Mingzhu heard this, she immediately walked out: "Wait a moment, I'll get today's newspaper."
A young man stepping on a pedal appeared on the road. When he saw Wu Mingzhu coming out, he threw the rolled newspaper over: "Today's newspaper, beautiful Ms. Wu." Wu Mingzhu caught the newspaper and was in a good mood: "Tom, you praise me too.
I won’t give you a wage increase, but I can leave the lawn care to you. Two hours, twenty dollars, what do you think?”
"Can I say thirty dollars? Qiu is very stingy, don't be like her." The young man should be a middle school student, with obvious acne on his face. Wu Mingzhu smiled happily: "I am more stingy than her, but I am happy today
, thirty dollars.”
The young man let out a strange scream and continued to rush forward excitedly. Speaking of this phenomenon, Fang Zhe still quite agrees with the American social practice model. Children should realize that money does not fall from the sky.
Wu Mingzhu, who returned to the restaurant, cast a charming look over her: "Have you seen, even children can't stop my charm?" Fang Zhe didn't even raise his head: "That's the charm of US dollars, what does it have to do with you?"
"Thank you, Governor of Hong Kong..." Wu Mingzhu breathed out sweet fragrance, as if Kong Yiji was talking to himself, and sadness enveloped the restaurant.
"Okay, okay, your charm is invincible. Could you please button up the button?" Fang Zhe quickly gave in. This woman only used the stickers. Was she planning to risk her life?
The victorious Wu Mingzhu smiled imperceptibly. The longer the contact time, the more he could feel Fang Zhe's veins. The easier it was to handle. If he had touched this guy's habits earlier, there would be nothing wrong with Yun Jue and Qiu Xiaoyou.
It was as if the superior attitude she showed when facing Fang Zhe when she left Songjiang was fake.
Wu Mingzhu, who opened the newspaper, just glanced at it and suddenly exclaimed: "Fang Zhe, our movie has become a hot topic in the newspaper." Fang Zhe still didn't take it seriously: "Isn't this a normal thing? Film critic
