Perfect Life

On the morning of February 16, Ying Tianfu.

It was also before ten o'clock in the morning that Zheng Yuan got the box office chart last week.

At that moment, his face instantly sank.

Although some mental preparations have been made in advance, the name on the first line is really too dazzling, and the box office numbers in the back are really astonishing!

So much so that his eyes fell on that line of box office, and he never looked away for a long time, and he didn't even go to see the first time his escape hero ranked and how much it was at the box office!

48.16 million!

Over the years, as one of the most stable actors in the domestic film industry, Zheng Yuanlu has starred in films one after another, and together there are more than 20 films to say the least.

In the early years, especially before the price increase of movie tickets in 1993, everyone's box office was generally low, but in that era, he already had a masterpiece with a box office of nearly 40 million. Later, the price of movie tickets increased collectively. The domestic box office market has also been soaring. In the past seven or eight years, as long as the movies he has made are commercial movies, there is no box office less than 50 million! There are even two billion-dollar masterpieces!

However, even so, he is known as the "most reassuring actor" in the domestic film industry, but he has never won such a high first-week box office!

After looking at it for a long time, he raised his hand and loosened his tie, turned his head and asked his agent Fang Zuotong, "Have you broken the first-week record of Director Zhao's Shoubi Nanshan?"

Fang Zuotong shook his head, "No, it's only a few hundred thousand! The third in history."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "If this movie can get a little more canvas and film layout rate from the beginning, it is probably no problem!"

Zheng Yuan nodded and loosened his tie again.

Finally, he still looked down.

Escape Hero, box office 27.77 million! It was released for four weeks, with a cumulative box office of 71.31 million.

Sigh, fist clenched, loosened, sighed again.

Not to mention anger!

If he was still full of anger and dissatisfaction when he just received the theater line to adjust the canvas and arrange the film, seeing the box office number of 48.16 million, think that this film is already on the domestic film box office rankings for the first week in the history of box office rankings. Third, for some reason, my heart is somewhat relieved.

Because the resources that everyone got from the theater dealers are basically the same, I am no longer an opponent. In the first four days of the week, I was ahead of others by nearly 3 million, but in the three days of the weekend, I was suddenly beaten by others. Opened the gap of more than 20 million!

This is no longer a question of who has more canvases, less canvases, or who has a higher and lower rate of film arrangement. This fully shows that the other party relies on Li Qian's personal appeal or the film itself. The quality is excellent, in short, this box office is already phenomenal!

Yes, it's not that I'm too bad, it's that the other party is too good!

And unfortunately, this sentence is not self-comforting!

In fact, if you do the math, you can get 71.31 million in four weeks of release, which is good enough at the box office!

Next, I have signed a guarantee agreement with many theaters, and I can guarantee that my film will have at least two more weeks of release time, and I can also have a certain guarantee on the canvas and film layout. 85 million is at least, 9000 Wan also has high hopes.

If there is a small explosion in the next two weeks, maybe we can see the threshold of breaking 100 million!

The summer season looks lively, but the point is that the winner takes all, Hollywood blockbusters, and various domestic and large productions will be divided into the box office, and in the end, only a few will win!

Most of my past films were released in the summer, which is very close to the current box office. Unless the film has a very good reputation, it will be a big hit, and it will exceed 100 million. Otherwise, 80 million to 95 million, it is probably myself. It's hard to go up the grade you are in, but you can't go down under normal circumstances.

It's just that with the sudden explosion of My Sassy Girlfriend, it formed a huge aggregation effect on the box office. Obviously, all other movies of the same period will be greatly affected at the box office, so this box office is still slightly lower than expected. , at least he intends to monopolize the Valentine's Day schedule and form a concept of "the Valentine's Day schedule belongs to Zheng Yuan", which is basically not achieved.

Even, the outside world may think that "Valentine's Day belongs to Li Qian"!

However, after calming down a bit, this result can be reluctantly accepted!

Of course, unwillingness is certain, envy, jealousy, and hatred are also certain!

However, it is such a big hit, and the first explosion is the third in history. Facing such a film, what can I do?

Are you still angry? Are you angry?

What is the use?

only

Looking back and forth between the two figures of 48.16 million and 27.77 million for a long time, he still said: "You can call me over there, Zou Wenhuai, or Mr. Qi. I won't call. It's gone!"

Fang Zuotong looked at him, and after a while, nodded, "Okay. I'll fight!"

The two were silent.

Then, Zheng Yuan turned his head and asked him, "Have you seen that movie?"

Fang Zuotong said, "Yesterday, I went to see it. We went there together."

Zheng Yuan raised his hand and patted his forehead, "Oh, yes, you still called me back then! Is it really good-looking?"

Fang Zuotong pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and then said: "Maybe now that this box office is out, many people will think that this should be Li Qian's personal star effect, and the special time of Valentine's Day is just right with the title of this movie. That's why it pulled up such a high box office, but after I've seen the first two factors, there must be, no one can deny it. But in my opinion, this film should not only be a big hit this week, next, It might not be as big as this week, but it won't be too bad at the box office!"

After a pause, he said: "How do you say it! Love, and comedy, he has a good grasp of these two points, and it is a matter of course to sell. The name Li Qian is just an inducement!"

Zheng Yuan's eyes narrowed, and then he asked, "Do you expect to break through 100 million?"

Fang Zuotong thought about it and nodded, "As far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's a big problem!"

Zheng Yuan lowered his head.

After a while, he took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Fang Zuotong, and said, "Help me find a place, I'll go take a look too, and see how good this film is!"

Fang Zuotong was stunned when he heard the words, "Then today's event"

Zheng Yuan waved his hand, "Push it, push it all!"

After a pause, he said: "The box office is already like this. In the next two weeks, I can get 20 million yuan, but if it is not good, it will be in the early 10 million yuan. Now, for the next event, you can push it if you can!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the glass wall of the building opposite the window, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "The next movie, I must have over 100 million! I haven't exceeded 100 million for two years!"

Fang Zuotong looked at him with deep eyes.

After a while, he nodded, "Okay!"

On the same day, Chengdu Prefecture.

Lu Ping was paralyzed on the sofa, his eyes were tightly closed, and he had not opened them for at least ten minutes.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

At this moment, no one seemed to want to read the printing paper of the box office chart, so it fell into the hands of Lu Ping's assistant, and he held it like a hot potato.

It clearly reads: Hello, female hero! , the weekly box office was 22.44 million, ranking third, and the historical total box office was 32.66 million!

In fact, this result is quite good!

It was released for two weeks, although there was a Valentine's Day schedule, but after all, the first week of the release was after the Spring Festival. At that time, the cinemas all over the country were deserted to the extent that they were deserted. In fact, hello female hero! Although it won the box office champion in the first week of its release, the box office was only 10.22 million!

Hello to the heroine! For this film, the investment has just exceeded 20 million, the breakeven line is about 55 million, and it received 32.66 million two weeks before its release. As long as the subsequent box office does not plummet, it means that this film will Four weeks after the release, it was basically guaranteed to pay back the money, and even started to make a small profit!

For the remaining two weeks of box office, no matter how much, it will be a steady net profit!

And with Lu Ping's reputation, with his film's ability to keep the box office steady, with the heroine hello! According to the word-of-mouth evaluation since its release, is it possible for this movie to take a big dive?

impossible!

Therefore, for the first time directing a purely commercial film, you can already make money, and you may even earn 10 to 20 million yuan. This achievement is enough to make the next Lu Pingshui rise!

It's hard to say anything else. I'll talk about cooperation next time, don't care who I'm with, the director's salary of 3 million is the start, and even the box office can be mentioned!

Although the final editing rights will still be more difficult, but everything depends on negotiation! At least three films have been released since their debut, including literary films and commercial films. All of them have made money, and the audience's reputation is very good. The best director who has won the box office championship and the Great Wall Award can not only win the award, but also Being able to make money, this qualification, this reputation, at Lu Ping's age, is simply outrageous!

Therefore, no matter who is asked to evaluate, it must be admitted that Lu Ping is very good!

But as it happens, there is a more arrogant one pressing on the top of his head!

But it happens that defeating that person and overpowering that person is even more important to Lu Ping than making money, having a good reputation, and everything!

In terms of movies, in terms of box office, in terms of market, hello woman! Win, and win can be considered pretty!

But as far as Lu Ping is concerned, he will feel that he has lost!

And lost badly!

In the first week of its release, under the circumstance that the situation was not too favorable, the other party actually turned against the trend. It was a big explosion in three days on the weekend, which not only wiped out the disadvantage of the previous weekday box office, but also greatly With an advantage of more than 20 million, it has thrown off the competitors in the same period, leading by a large margin!

One is 48.16 million and the other is only 22.44 million!

More than double the lead!

The problem is, that's the other party's film debut!

Gao Lanlan winked at Xia Xiaoyue frequently, and in the end, Xia Xiaoyue was the first to say: "Husband, it's alright, although I haven't been able to overpower him this week, Sister Lan also said it, and you said it too, that he relies on After this wave of box office explosions is over, he will definitely reveal his true shape by next week! But we won't, you are notoriously stable at the box office, and we have a long way to go! Whoever wins and who loses, I have to wait until I get off the assembly line to see Sister Lan at the general box office, you think I'm right?"

Gao Lanlan smiled, turned her head to look at Lu Ping with her eyes closed, and said, "Yes, Xiaoyue is right, don't get too angry, Li Qian is the most popular star in China after all, and it's Valentine's Day. , his group of young fans have all come to support, and it is not surprising to get this box office."

Halfway through her words, Lu Ping suddenly raised his hand and waved it.

His eyes still didn't open, but the meaning of the gesture was very clear.

Gao Lanlan stopped halfway through his words.

"Husband!" Xia Xiaoyue called him timidly.

Lu Ping still didn't open his eyes, he just said tiredly: "Go out, I want to be alone for a while!"

Several people looked at each other, but in the end, everyone got up one after another.

Lu Ping's assistant originally held the box office chart, but after walking a few steps, he remembered it again, took two steps back like an electric shock, and carefully placed the piece of paper on the coffee table.

When everyone went out, and when the door closed, Lu Ping on the sofa couldn't help sighing.

After a while, he finally opened his eyes.

Pick up that piece of paper and look again, yes, the data will not be wrong, 48.16 million, compared to 22.44 million!

The first place~www.wuxiaspot.com~compared to the third place!

Very dazzling!

Moreover, their box office in the first two weeks added up to 32.66 million, which is actually not as good as the other party's three-day weekend!

Just a few days ago, when the movie was just released, even though I had to admit that the movie was excellent, I still deceived myself when I saw the attendance rate of the other party at that time. For a week, I should be very hopeful to suppress the other party!

But the result is ironic!

Not only was he unable to hold him down, he was even unable to hold down the escape hero who had already reached the fourth week!

Also, calm down and think about it, the quality of the movie is there, maybe it takes a slow process of word-of-mouth spread and fermentation to change to an ordinary person as the director, but with the words "Director Li Qian" in the There, with his strong appeal to fans, this movie can naturally save the slow fermentation process. Even if fermentation is required, it also refers to word-of-mouth fermentation on a larger scale!

Under enormous pressure, people's thinking will always be narrow and biased, even the most intelligent people. But once he calmed down and thought about it, at this moment, Lu Ping actually felt that he had lost nothing to say about the weekly box office gap of more than 20 million, and even he felt that the quality of the film was quite good, as long as he was not blind, as long as he was not stupid , what can I say!

However, at this moment, when he recalled the words he had so proudly said to Lu Lingxi at that time, he couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed in his heart.

When I return to Beijing to meet, how should I face her?

Maybe it’s because I’m too tired to run back and forth. During the annual meeting, I have been drinking, staying up late, and chatting. As a result, I have not been in a good state for the past two days after coming back.

Weakly ask for a few monthly passes, refresh yourself! To be continued.
