On Monday, March 19th, "Red Sorghum" received 47.6 films, with a total of 20,468 screenings throughout the day, 880,000 viewers, and 18.32 million single-day box office, accounting for 64% of the national total box office that day, but The attendance rate was only 43.

On Tuesday, March 20, "Red Sorghum" had 18,558 films, a film rate of 42.9, 760,000 viewers, and a single-day box office of 16.22 million, accounting for 60.8 of the country's total box office that day. The national average attendance rate for the day was 40.2.

On March 21, on Wednesday, "Red Sorghum" had 17,426 screenings, with a screening rate of 40.7, with 630,000 viewers and 13.02 million box office, accounting for 61.2 of the national total on that day. The average single-hall attendance rate of the national cinema chain that day was 37.2.

For three consecutive days, the film lineup dropped, the box office dropped, and the attendance also dropped.

"... The three-day drop in the filming rate shows that the theater chains have serious lack of confidence in the long-term selling ability of the film "Red Sorghum", and on the basis of the continuously decreasing number of filming sessions, the attendance rate has also continued to appear. The decline fully confirms the point of my previous article - the film "Red Sorghum" consumes the audience's curiosity about the Berlin Film Festival, rather than respect and expectations, and consumes the power that Li Qian has accumulated over the years. appeal, not the film itself.”

—— "Beijing Times Supplement"

"The weekday box office of 'Red Sorghum' has dropped steadily in the past three days, which is a very normal phenomenon for most movies, but why does the performance of 'Red Sorghum' provoke the entire domestic entertainment industry? There is a lot of discussion in the circle? It is precisely because "Red Sorghum", as a literary film, has achieved a high box office of more than 130 million in the first week, which has made people in the industry generally feel that this film has experienced explosive growth. The long-term selling ability after consumption is doubtful.”

"Just this afternoon, "Bad Life" with an investment of more than 40 million is about to be released. This is a masterpiece that the famous domestic director Lu Ping has been working on for more than two years. It is said that the director tried for the first time in this film. More action and explosions."

"As we all know, Director Lu Ping started his career in literary and artistic films, and has always been known for his ability to shape characters and handle details. In his last work, "Hello Woman!", he tried commercial film production for the first time. He added a lot of exciting fight scenes and successfully completed his own style transformation."

"There is no doubt that a blockbuster action movie with a strong personal director style, but also intensive cultivation, such as "Bad Life" is very exciting. And its release this afternoon will definitely give "Red Sorghum" a positive response. "The schedule, attendance, etc., have a great impact! It makes people who have doubts about the long-term selling ability of "Red Sorghum" even more uneasy."

——"Oriental Entertainment Daily"

"In recent days, the topic of how "Red Sorghum" can achieve such a high first-week box office has been discussed in domestic newspapers and on the Internet, and "Red Sorghum" has been discussed for three consecutive days. The filming rate and attendance rate of the film have both shown a downward trend, which has made many people scream and predict that after the so-called 'explosive consumption' of this film, the box office will definitely slump."

"First of all, I can barely understand the general meaning of explosive consumption, a new word coined by that dude, but I don't think it's necessary to worry about it."

"Li Qian's appeal is certainly there, and the four trophies at the Berlin Film Festival are definitely not decorations, but for a film like "Red Sorghum", even if Li Qian is not the leader of the music scene, Li Qian is not the one who has filmed "Red Sorghum". Li Qian, the great director of The Legend of the New White Snake, Princess Huanzhu, My Sassy Girl and Once Upon a Time, and it hasn't won a grand slam at the Berlin Film Festival, so what?"

"Whether the story, pictures, shots, characterization, and the exaggerated use of colors praised by the Berlin Film Festival judges and domestic film critics, or his excavation of human nature, the male gene rooted in the blood of the Chinese nation And the expression of national pride, judged from any angle, this is definitely a wonderful movie! Just because of this, it is enough to support the subsequent box office trend of this movie and there will never be a diving plunge. "

"As for Li Qian, as for the secret film between the actor and the queen, as for the four trophies at the Berlin Film Festival, those are just tidbits, or just the icing on the cake."

Thursday, March 22, 10 am.

Oriental Media Group, Chairman's Office.

Zhou Yanghua put down the newspaper, his expression erratic, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking his head.

Someone knocked on the door, Zhou Yanghua shouted "Come in", and Xiong Chengchao pushed the door in.

After striding over, he asked, "Chairman, Minghu Culture has made two calls. Then, let's see if we can make up the copy?"

Zhou Yanghua asked curiously: "What's the matter? This will also be a reminder? If you don't make up today, you won't be able to make up tomorrow?"

Xiong Chengchao replied: "According to the statement there, if we don't sign the agreement today and set the number of new copies, they will consider putting copies in those second- and third-tier small movie theaters."

Zhou Yanghua sneered, "Meaning, if you want to make up for it, you have to wait again?"

Xiong Chengchao didn't speak, but nodded.

Zhou Yanghua sneered again.

Last weekend's "Red Sorghum" was a big hit at the box office. Seeing that other theaters are full of people, the movie theater built in the bustling business district usually has the highest attendance rate, but it is deserted. Zhou Yanghua is naturally in his heart. Depressed and angry, but now... look at these comments in the paper!

For three consecutive days, the schedule has been reduced, isn't it just to keep the attendance rate? As a result, the schedule was reduced, and the attendance rate was still not maintained!

This is very pleasing!

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yanghua asked, "What do you think of the two films, "Red Sorghum" and "Bad Life"? Which one do we prefer this weekend?"

This question is acute.

But Xiong Chengchao is the general manager of the theater line, and he cannot avoid this problem.

So, after a little hesitation, he answered: "Unlike many comments in the newspapers and media now, I personally feel that I am very confident in the long-term selling ability of "Red Sorghum". I think this film The ability to attract different audiences into the arena, even two or three times."

Having said that, after a short pause, he added: "I also went to the filming meeting of "Bad Life", and that film was considered a success in my opinion. But the problem with director Lu Ping's previous works is almost the same. , he is still a little tangled in the refreshingness of literary and commercial films, and in my opinion... it is not too good! It is surprising that the screenwriting ability of his films has always been somewhat insufficient."

"In contrast, Li Qian can be regarded as a genius in screenwriting and storytelling! Whether it is classical mythology, romance palace fighting, modern romance, youth comedy, and his original kung fu movies, these purely commercial Things, he has done a lot of work, and it is delicious, and in this "Red Sorghum", he has perfectly controlled such a story that feels endless but it is very complete, the frame is large, and the details are Not empty, as a literary film, it is definitely full of strength."

While he was talking, Zhou Yanghua nodded, and when he finished speaking, Zhou Yanghua looked up at him, "So, you mean, "Bad Life" is flawed, while "Red Sorghum" is basically flawless?"

Speaking of this, he was a little excited and could not help but spread his arms, "So, your suggestion is that we hurry up and sign the screening agreement of "Red Sorghum" with Minghu Culture?"

"Uh……"

After hesitating for a while, Xiong Chengchao shook his head.

"I'm not saying that "Red Sorghum" is flawless, I just want to say that if this movie lets me judge, I would be more willing to believe its long-term selling ability. So I suggest that we can talk to Minghu Culture. The supplementary screening agreement will be counted from next Monday."

After a pause, he said: "As for 'Bad Life'... Actually, I'm a little uncertain, I always feel that it's a bit top-heavy, and I think... the various elements of the story are a bit messy, and it's not very good! But I have to admit, whether it's the beautiful shots and graphics, the characters, or the fight scenes that appeal to younger audiences, it's actually pretty good!"

Zhou Yanghua nodded slowly.

After ten seconds, he smiled slowly, then shook his head.

After a pause, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Although I haven't watched "Bad Life", I have seen all Lu Ping's past movies. He is definitely not lacking in talent! This movie costs 40 million. Investing... That's it, I've decided to focus on "Bad Life" this weekend. You should pay attention to observe the dynamics at any time. I think this film will not talk about its long-term selling ability. Sorghum" stepped down, there is still no problem! Oh, by the way..."

Having said that, he instructed again: "This weekend, transfer the film arrangement of "Red Sorghum" to the lowest film allowed by the contract! All the freed theaters will be allocated to "Bad Life"!"

At this point, he couldn't help laughing and raised his hand, "Let's help Lu Ping!"

Xiong Chengchao first nodded in agreement, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "What about the screening copy of "Red Sorghum"..."

Zhou Yanghua waved his hand, "Push it! Just say we don't need it!"

But immediately, he said again: "No, you can't say that, it should be said, 'We have no shortage of good movies'!"

Xiong Cheng twitched his face and nodded, but he couldn't help but ask, "Then... you mean the long line on the "Red Sorghum" side, so we won't do it?"

Zhou Yanghua sneered when he heard the words.

But soon, he said with a smile: "Don't think too much, Chengchao, it's not that I don't believe in your judgment! But... how can I put it, even if it has a certain long-term selling ability, this time, I would rather If you don't make his money after you go out, you must also destroy its 'long-term selling ability'!"

Xiong Chengchao's face froze when he heard the words.

But soon, he nodded, "I understand the chairman."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but Zhou Yanghua suddenly called out to him and said with a smile: "Remember to change your clothes later, you will accompany me in the afternoon, the premiere of "Bad Life", me, plus You, the boss of the Oriental Cinema, let's go together to support the scene and strengthen the courage of this director Lu Pinglu!"

Xiong Chengchao hesitated after hearing the words, then nodded, "Okay!"

Picking up the phone, after listening to the report on the phone, Qi Jie put down the phone calmly, and approved a few more documents, then raised her head and said to Liao Min, who was sitting on the sofa reading the plan: "Dongfang The theater chain refused to sign the screening agreement, saying that they have no shortage of good films!"

When she was done, she shook her head and laughed.

Liao Min pouted and said bluntly: "You were too cruel to scolded others last time! They hold revenge!"

Qi Jie smiled, lowered her head and continued to approve documents.

At this time, I heard Liao Min say again: "I asked my brother-in-law yesterday!"

With those words, Qi Jie subconsciously raised her head again and looked at Liao Min.

"Ask him? What did you ask him?"

Liao Min laughed, "I asked him that "Red Sorghum" broke 100 million in the first week. Do you think it will be 300 million or 400 million in the end? Guess what he said?"

Qi Jie became interested and asked with a smile, "What did he say?"

Liao Min continued to laugh, "He said...it's still not enough after 100 million!"

Qi Jie laughed.

Yes, it's more than 100 million, plus the overseas distribution rights are packaged and sold to dozens of Taobao in exchange for the dollars, the net box office revenue of this film in the global market will finally exceed 300 million. There is no problem.

You know, its investment is only 12 million!

It's supposed to be enough!

This return on investment is absolutely insane!

But, how should I put it, Qi Jie just hopes that it can be a little higher, a little higher, a little higher!

Because that's Li Qian's work!

After thinking for a while, he continued to lower his head to review the documents. Inadvertently, he heard Liao Min ask: "Sister, do you cook by yourself at night? I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time recently, and I want to go to your house for a meal."

Qi Jie waved his hand without hesitation, "No, I want to eat it back and make it myself. I'll have takeout tonight."

Having said that, she raised her head and explained, "I have a lot of things to watch recently, so I can just stop by the company and wait for the box office to come out!"

Hearing this, Liao Min shrugged and wanted to say something, then sighed inwardly.

This sister Yo!

Although she has always had absolute confidence in all of Li Qian's works that ordinary people can't understand, but now it seems that this time, in the face of "Bad Life", she has some tacit understanding in the face of various domestic theaters. Earth suppression, she will still have some worries!

After thinking about it, Liao Min said, "Then I will accompany you!"

Qi Jie raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

Liao Min laughed "hehe", "As soon as my sister goes out, she doesn't know how to come back. Now you are my sister!"

Qi Jie laughed and shook his head.

Thursday, March 22, 3pm.

Lu Ping's action blockbuster "A Bad Life" officially held a grand premiere in Shuntianfu. At the same time, with the start of the premiere, it was announced that the film was officially released nationwide.

Because it is currently in the off-season of the domestic box office market, although the sudden emergence of "Red Sorghum" has led to the rapid rise of the entire box office market, except for "Red Sorghum", many of the recent works have been released. It is unable to support the outbreak of the domestic movie box office market. As for Lu Ping's past achievements, the film's investment of more than 40 million yuan, coupled with its action blockbuster attributes, made it get more than 2,800 pieces of canvas on the first day of its release.

Such a release scale, if not in the off-season, the current Lu Ping would not be able to get it.

Moreover, the release scale of "Bad Life" is so large, in addition to many small-budget films that have greatly squeezed the film rate, even "Red Sorghum", which is currently being shown, starts from 3 o'clock in the afternoon. It was also impacted and squeezed to a certain extent.

Minghu Culture, General Manager's Office.

Ten in the morning.

Liao Min was already terribly sleepy, but she was still trying not to fall asleep.

And Qi Jie, who has been busy all day, is still working on her work energetically at this time - the scale of Minghu Culture is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on her as a general manager is naturally increasing, especially now, in addition to her needs In addition to being in charge of the company headquarters, I often need to go out to sign contracts with some individual cinemas or small cinema companies below on behalf of Minghu Cinemas. Every time I come back from a business trip, I always have to face a mountain of various Various documents for her to review and sign.

But fortunately, she is a strong person - the more things she does, the more energetic she becomes!

She was still looking at the documents, and suddenly the bell rang, and the mailbox reminded her that new mail had come in.

Qi Jie immediately left her job and opened her mailbox - as expected, the preliminary statistics of today's theater box office came.

The first is "Bad Life", because its screening scale is temporarily the first in the country.

On the day of its release, "Bad Life" was screened 11,085 times nationwide, with a film schedule of 25.8, an average attendance rate of 37.2, and a box office of 8.69 million on the first day! It accounted for 34.8 of the national total box office that day!

This is the first day box office of "Bad Life" after 3:00 p.m. to the end of the midnight show!

It is conceivable that if they start the national screening from the morning, the box office on the first day will definitely be higher than this, about... More than 10 million is not a problem.

Affected by this, the schedule of "Red Sorghum" was downgraded by major theaters again on the basis of yesterday, and finally got 14,538 broadcasts throughout the day, with a schedule rate of 33.8, and the average attendance rate dropped again. Today, it was only 35.1. Today The box office totaled 10.84 million! It accounted for 43.1 of the national total box office that day!

"call……"

Qi Jie let out a long breath.

Anyway, the box office on the first day of "Bad Life" was not very bright.

Moreover, "Red Sorghum" suppressed it with an advantage of more than two million.

certainly……

After rejoicing, Qi Jie couldn't help frowning again.

Today, "Bad Life" was only shown for most of the day~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So, in fact, it suffers!

Wait until tomorrow, there is no doubt that the film layout of "Bad Life" will definitely surpass that of "Red Sorghum", and the film layout of "Red Sorghum" will definitely continue to decrease due to the squeeze of the other party's film layout!

If "Bad Life" can continue to maintain this attendance rate...

Qi Jie shook her head, feeling a little headache, and subconsciously pinched her temples.

Is "A Bad Life" taking advantage of the trend, or is "Red Sorghum" able to withstand this wave of pressure and hold down "A Bad Life", thus ushering in the next two weeks of very little competition. The screening environment and the long-term stable box office revenue will depend on the next three days.

Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

The second week of "Red Sorghum" and the first week of "Bad Life".

The positive PK of both sides has begun!

Since the email came, I read it first, then thought about it. Before I knew it, twenty or thirty minutes had passed. When Qi Jie retracted her attention, she turned her head inadvertently, and found that Liao Min had fallen asleep on the sofa!

"Oh, you little sister-in-law!"

It's not an accident, right? Someone started complaining, saying that I was irritated. Anyway, every time I write about the charts, box office, etc., there are always people who will say that. I don't have anything to defend. Treating each of my stories and chapters very seriously and hard!

The level may have ups and downs, but the attitude is absolutely correct!

And, at this time, I would especially hope that you, who have been reading books silently and refused to talk much, can use your actions—subscriptions, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, rewards, book review speeches, chapter speeches, etc., to give I support and affirm!

Thank you so much! perfect life
