Perfect Life

Monday, July 28, 2003, morning.

Almost all domestic newspapers have given important reports in capital letters on their relevant pages - "Once Upon a Time in Man" won the top of the weekly box office charts!

Or: The release of "Golden Terrace" was cold, and the box office in the first week did not meet expectations!

Many morning news from TV stations have also carried out long-term related reports——

"At the previous premiere ceremony, Director Qin Wei once confidently stated that he expects the box office of his second commercial film "Golden Terrace" to exceed 150 million in the first week and the total box office to exceed 500 million. Now, "Golden Terrace" In the first week of its release, "Golden Terrace" unexpectedly fell short of expectations at the box office. It was only over 110 million, and its total box office forecast of 500 million was probably also likely to fail! Compared with this, it came In the second week of its release, "Once Upon a Time", the box office continued to be strong..."

…………

Because the showdown between the sequel of "Once Upon a Time" and "Golden Terrace" has been the most talked about entertainment industry focus event in the past week, or even the past few weeks, so the box office situation of last week has just been released, " "Golden Terrace" fluttered, but "Once Upon a Time in Man" continued to persevere, and immediately attracted the strong attention of the whole people - it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country was shocked!

As we all know, Qin Wei is a master-level super director. The box office record created by the last film "The Gate of Life and Death" has never been broken, and the new film "Golden Terrace" is a huge investment, and there are border guards and Fu Hongxue. Blessed by a top-selling star, and before that, the national public opinion from top to bottom, from experts to ordinary people, basically agreed that this movie will definitely sell well, and may even hit a new record at the domestic movie box office. However... the reality came so unexpectedly!

So unexpected!

At the premiere ceremony, Qin Wei said that he hoped that when the first week will exceed 150 million, the domestic media reported that they used words such as "conservative" to evaluate director Qin Wei's expectation, and so many The media and experts have also optimistically given a box office forecast of 180 million to 200 million in the first week.

Therefore, many people will subconsciously have an illusion, that is, the scene where "The Door of Life and Death" and "Once Upon a Time" grabbed the box office last year, and stabilized "Once Upon a Time" from the beginning of the release, seems to be It was staged again, but this time, Qin Wei's film changed its name, and "Once Upon a Time" has also changed its director, it's only the second film!

but now……

Eye-popping!

Jinghua Film, General Manager's Office.

Yuan Ke held the summary of last week's domestic movie market box-office statistics compiled by her secretary in her hand. She looked complicated, a little surprised, a little puzzled, and a little helpless.

The information is the official statistical data released by the Film Industry Association early this morning. Compared with the data hastily compiled in the middle of the night last night, there are slight adjustments in the amount and attendance.

But basically large numbers, it is impossible to go wrong.

In fact, after reading the electronic version of the rough statistical version last night, Yuan Ke was already surprised once, so that she didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning, but today she came to work, went to the office, and got the This version of accurate statistics, looking at it again, still can't control the surprise in my heart.

It is the summer season in July, the golden season. The two films need stars and stars, word-of-mouth and word-of-mouth, and a showdown of blockbusters with topics. However, countless media and so-called experts have predicted before that, it will appear in the last week. The big showdown like a Mars hitting the earth doesn't seem to be that intense.

And the idea that everyone had been looking forward to the domestic weekly box office market can once again impact the record has obviously been completely defeated - the domestic film market market last week was only 324.76 million!

Even 330 million failed to survive. Although this figure itself is actually not low, it is obviously far from the 350 million or even 400 million that everyone expects!

Because..."Golden Terrace" was released in its first week, and it was released nationwide on Monday. It was a full week, and the box office was only... 110.74 million!

Barely passed 110 million, which is far from the first-week box office target of 150 million that Qin Wei confidently stated at the press conference!

So, in fact, this week starts with the release of "Golden Terrace" on Monday. Although it is only some rough statistics, the daily box office statistics will surprise Yuan Ke. In the first two days, he repeatedly asked the secretary to check to see if the statistics were wrong, but from the third day, he knew that it was unnecessary.

"Golden Terrace", flutter.

It's just, still surprised, still surprised!

Still can't understand it!

Until now, seeing that rough statistic last night, this surprise has not faded, but it has become heavier - that's Qin Wei! Film master! That is a blockbuster with an investment of more than 100 million yuan!

How could it be pounced?

On the contrary, "Once Upon a Time in Huang Feihong's Man Be Self-improvement" has reached its second week, and its momentum has not diminished!

Yuan Ke looked up again and landed on "Once Upon a Time in Wong Fei-hung's Man".

Last week's domestic box office rankings --

The first place, "Huang Feihong's man be self-improvement", 142.86 million, the total box office of 336.51 million. Producer, issuer, Minghu Culture.

Second place, "Golden Terrace", 110.74 million, the first week. Producer and distributor: Huafei Film and Television.

The third place, "Pirates of the Caribbean", 28.02 million, the historical total box office of 149.6 million. Publisher: Oriental Media Group.

Fourth place, "The Return of the Lord of the Rings", 19.42 million, with a total box office of 249.77 million. Distributor: Tenglong Film and Television Culture Communication Company.

...

Someone knocked on the door outside, Yuan Ke responded, and then saw Zhao Meicheng push the door and walk in.

Seeing that Yuan Ke was still looking at the documents, Zhao Meicheng said, "Hey, are you still looking? Throw it! This time, Lao Qin has lost all the old face he has saved over the past few years!"

While speaking, he still seemed to be gloating at the misfortune, and he couldn't care about the new outline in his hand. Instead, he said with a smile: "It didn't exceed 100 million in the first week, and the word of mouth is extremely bad! Lao Qin, it's a shame! I heard that , He was yelling at Li Qian and Minghu Culture in the hotel, not only many people in their crew heard it, but even the hotel staff heard it clearly, the news couldn't be covered, and it came out!"

Having said that, he shrugged and said contemptuously, "I'm willing to admit defeat! What did you say? That's what he said. Since it's summer vacation, it proves that you have done a good job with the The most awesome movie is mentally prepared for a tough confrontation, swearing at people, grass, what!"

Since he came in, Yuan Ke didn't speak, just watched him complain there. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The QQ pop-up window is really fierce!"

Zhao Meicheng waved her hand, and said loudly: "It doesn't matter that! In fact, many people guessed that "Once Upon a Time" should continue to sell more than 100 million this week, and many people estimated that this film should be in one Between 120 million and 150 million! You see, even the range is not wrong, it is 140,000 to 100,000! The key is that "Golden Terrace" can't do it on its own!"

After a pause, he said: "Grass! I thought Lao Qin could make another 200 million in the first week this time, but it turned out to be in the early 100 million! Throw it, it's miserable!"

Yuan Ke pouted and suddenly said, "Old Zhao, I know that you have been annoying Qin Wei for so many years."

Zhao Meicheng nodded immediately, "Well, yes, I'm just annoying him! I'm just annoying that guy who thinks he is a movie master, like a grandmaster! Grass! Don't people know that the sky is high and the earth is high? Do you really think that you are a master?"

"Fuck! This is not, flutter! And the reputation is extremely poor! I think you are a master or not!"

Yuan Ke waited for him to finish, and then suddenly said: "Lao Zhao, you didn't think about it, what if you waited for our movie and you jumped, what should you do?"

Zhao Meicheng was stunned when she heard the words, turned her head to look at Yuan Ke, and immediately smiled, "I said what are you doing this morning? This is, I always look around with this box office, and those who don't know think you are Hu Fei. It turns out that you are mourning the death of a rabbit and a fox! Isn't it? Hahaha..."

When the laughter stopped, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Qin Wei fluttered, it doesn't mean I will flutter!"

…………

Oriental Media Group, Chairman's Office.

Zhou Yanghua sat behind the desk with a sinking face.

On the sofa in the reception area, the general manager and deputy general manager of the author Yiliu'er.

With the exception of Xiong Chengchao, who is currently on a business trip, all the senior management of the Oriental Media Group have already arrived - however, everyone has arrived, and everyone sat down, but within a few minutes, not even one spoke. None!

Everyone knows that at this time, the chairman must be holding back his anger!

No one wants to poke the hornet's nest at this time!

However, no one spoke for such a long time, and the depressing atmosphere could be imagined.

All the high-level people did not even dare to breathe.

As the general manager, Zong Chengze sat on the side with his back to Zhou Yanghua, lowered his head, and looked like he was thinking, neither speaking nor moving.

Finally, I don't know if another few minutes passed, Zhou Yanghua let out a breath slowly, and suddenly asked, "What did Xiong Chengchao do?"

The two vice presidents of the theater looked at each other, and then subconsciously looked up at Zong Chengze opposite. But Zong Chengze didn't even look up, just pretended not to see anything.

Forced to be helpless, one of the vice presidents had no choice but to say with a tragic expression: "Mr. Xiong fell ill last Tuesday. He didn't say what the disease was, and we don't know it. He just said that he had already invited you. It's fake!"

Zhou Yanghua frowned, and he was about to slap the table, but he suddenly thought that it seemed that last Tuesday, Xiong Chengchao had indeed sent his secretary a leave request!

At that time, "Golden Terrace" had just been released, because I had killed his previous suggestion. I thought he was a little emotional, so I didn't care. When the fake note was sent, I didn't ask any more. I thought that he would go home. Stay for a few days, or go out to play for a few days. When I come back and watch it, the box office of "Golden Terrace" has exploded. It is estimated that even if there is dissatisfaction, it will disappear. After all, after so many years, Zhou Yanghua feels that he still knows him very well Xiong Chengchao: Although he is a person who admits his truth, but if the wrong person is him, he will definitely have the courage to face it.

However, later, as the box office reports of "Golden Terrace" came out day by day, Zhou Yanghua became more and more shocked. Although almost every time he saw the box office report, he would think of Xiong Chengchao coming, and then had some faint regrets, but instead Xiong Chengchao Forget about taking leave.

Thinking about it now, he must be angry!

Because it turns out that his judgment was right again!

And three times in a row!

The straw tower **** three times in a row!

In "Red Sorghum", because I wanted to suppress Minghu Culture, in the end Minghu Culture refused to add copies to my side. Fang Ding strongly supported Lu Ping's "Bad Life".

Then, "Red Sorghum" sold for nearly 600 million, and the family as big as the Oriental Cinema only drank a mouthful of soup! With a box office of more than 570 million, the Oriental Cinema actually only received 30 million!

It was followed by "Big Name~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time, the Oriental Cinema Line didn't even drink the soup!

It's more than 570 million again!

At the same time, of course, my side is fully supporting my own film, but "Lonely Smoke in the Desert" is a miserable one!

And now, "Huang Feihong's Man Becoming Self-improvement" is released, and the relationship between Oriental Media Group and Minghu Culture Group is already quite poor. Naturally, my side is fully supporting "Golden Terrace", and even I don't hesitate to give up my old hatred and personally I went to the premiere of "Golden Terrace".

However... even Qin Wei was planted!

After thinking about it, he felt that he should call Xiong Chengchao. After all, from beginning to end, his decision as the general manager of the theater chain has always been correct, which fully demonstrates his ability!

But think about it again, this guy is very ignorant!

Now is the time when my chairman is the most embarrassed and annoyed, can't you take the initiative to come over and give in? Don't think about it. At this time, I'm already very angry, and I have to call you again to persuade you. I can't be more uncomfortable and angry in my heart?

Forget it, wait a little longer, he will be back in a few days!

What is sick, the **** is sick, that guy is holding his breath!

It should be gone in a few days!

When he is out of anger and comes back, I will find another opportunity to appease him a few words, apologise, and promise that I will try to meddle in the theater as little as possible in the future!

Thinking of this, he sighed again, and then said, "Let's talk about it! What do you think!"

No one spoke.

Zhou Yanghua waited for a long time, and found that no one was talking, he was a little stunned, and his anger suddenly jumped up.

Very bad condition!
