What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 134
It's less than nine o'clock now, the first day of screenings has not ended, and tickets for the midnight shows in many cities have not been sold out, and the official data must not have come out.

Yang Shu was a little strange. He had learned from Luo Xue more than an hour ago that both "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven" and "Love Letter from No Two" had exceeded [-] million at the box office, but he didn't mention anything when he was chatting with Uncle Wu just now. It seems that you don't understand the details, how could this be?
Uncle finally found out and seemed very happy: "It's really great, I am very grateful for everyone's unremitting efforts. It is a very good start to break through [-] million on the first day. On behalf of the crew of "Fu Er Love Letter", I would like to thank you all for your hard work."

Yang Shu quickly understood why. The publishers of "Fu Er Love Letter" were six companies, which meant that multiple people worked and internal coordination took time.

On the surface, entrusting so many companies with the issuance is enough attention and wants to do enough work, but it also reflects that there are no heavyweight companies that can handle everything.

Why is this happening? "Peking Meets Seattle" is the box office champion of Chinese romance movies. The economic value of the sequel is very worth looking forward to. The distribution industry should take the lead.

Yang Shu believes that as long as the producer of "The Best Love Letter" asks, China Film, Enlight Media, Wanda, etc. will be willing to contract out the distribution work.

However, many things may not be that simple. There are ten investors in "A Love Letter", and as many as twelve companies participated in the production. Even the Penguin Company has a foot in it, but it is too optimistic.

The release involves more than ten percent of the box office. Even if calculated based on the 8000 million box office of the previous work, there is still a share of nearly [-] million. I am afraid that multiple stakeholders have also stepped in.

Judging from the current situation, the cooperation of the six publishers is not bad. On the first day, they won 33.8% of the screening rate for "Love Letter", which is 32.8 percentage point higher than the 1% of "Love Letter from Heaven".

Don’t underestimate this 1%. In 2015, the total national box office was 440 billion, with an average of 1.2 million per day. In 2016, it will be higher, and the weekend itself will be even higher. If calculated according to at least 1.5 million on weekends, this will involve a box office of 150 million .

On the other hand, the box office of "Love Letter" should be 150 million higher than that of "Love Letter from Heaven", otherwise the 1% film scheduling rate would be wasted.

Everyone applauded when they heard that the box office exceeded [-] million, and Yang Shu also applauded.

Sister Tao also applauded, and when Yang Shu's eyes met her, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if to say, "I thought they knew it was over [-] million, look at how happy he is."

A good actor is different. Although the expression is fleeting, but the performance is very good, it must be praised.

At this time, Uncle Wu moved the phone away a little, leaned over and asked Yang Shu in a low voice: "Have you got the results for "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven", do you need me to ask together?"

It's not easy to refuse, Uncle Wu is good-looking, but it doesn't mean he has no edge, everyone has a competitive heart.

Yang Shu didn't want to show off that he knew the general situation more than an hour ago. Besides, the situation may have developed further, so it doesn't hurt to know more.

"Then please trouble Brother Wu."

Uncle Wu nodded thoughtfully, and then turned on the hands-free phone: "Manager Liu, please help me check the current data of "Love Letter from Heaven."

Displeasure flashed again in Sister Tao's eyes, and she turned on the speakerphone but didn't say anything.

Uncle Wu shouldn't be so thoughtful, but even if it was intentional, he can't blame others. If Yang Shu wants to know the results, he has to listen to himself, right?

A thick male voice came from the phone: "No need to check, I have been staring at the data since midnight this morning, and I remember it very clearly."

"How's it going?"

"In the beginning, there was a big gap with us. You also know that this week, "Love Letter from Heaven" competed with us. Their film schedule was slightly lower, 32.8, while ours was 33.8. By noon, their data was still only two-thirds of ours."

This is not the same as what Luo Xue said at noon. At that time, she said that the data was clinging, either she was not telling the truth, or there was a serious data delay in "The Love Letter".

"You also know that "Heavenly Love Letter" was released by Tiange Media. This company has a darker background and even darker means. In the afternoon, the data quickly caught up. It is now on par with us, and the box office has exceeded [-] million."

Yang Shu took some things for granted. He always thought that Uncle Wu should keep abreast of the release situation. He already knew that the data of the two works were close to each other, and the results were similar.

It doesn't seem to be the case now, the news he got was much behind. Although what he said just now was beautiful, he still felt that there was a big gap in his heart, so now he looks a little surprised: "Really?"

"Yeah, we were all quite puzzled, so we suspected that Tiange was repeating his old tricks to buy box office, and specially entrusted friends from the theater chain to help check. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and several major provincial capitals checked the attendance rate on the spot."

If you buy the box office with the attendance rate at the bottom, the tickets you bought must be idle. Although the attendance rate has increased, there are not many audiences in the theater screening hall.

These words were too ugly, sister Tao couldn't bear it anymore, and frowned: "What are you talking about, nonsense."

Yang Shu smiled lightly, looked at the phone and listened carefully.

Uncle Wu shrugged apologetically, but still didn't say anything to the other end of the phone.

"The situation is beyond our expectations. The audience is very good. Friends from the theater told us that Tiange has not reserved the show this time. The word-of-mouth of "Love Letters from Heaven" is really good. They also suggested that we check the ratings on Douban."

Uncle Wu didn't show any surprises this time, and his expression was well controlled: "Is that so, it seems that we have met our opponents in "A Love Letter"."

After entering this living room, Yang Shu has been observing Uncle Wu, and he has been thinking about a question: "After this handsome man collapsed, can he make a comeback?"

Conclusions are difficult.

The public image he designed is too advanced and positive, and almost unanimously praised it, which is fatal. Once a storm breaks out, there will be no buffer zone or room for forgiveness.

There are many male entertainers who have been scandalized in the entertainment industry. Big brother Cheng is not afraid of boiling water, and he can still play without repentance, and there is no resistance from the audience.

Zhang Jiacho, Chen Sicheng, Xu Shanzheng, etc. were dealt with in the same way by the Buddhist system. As time went by, the incident did not have much impact on their image in the end. The works were still published, and the reputation was still good.

There is a saying that no matter how good public relations are, business problems cannot be solved. The perfect person design is one of Uncle Wu's main businesses, and it is sought after by thousands of people. Once there is a crisis, it may not be solved by public relations.

"Their Douban scores are ridiculously high."

At this time, Uncle Wu should tell the other party that the creators of "Love Letter from Heaven" are listening, but he didn't react.

The other party was still saying: "I checked on Douban specifically, and the score that came out at noon, our "Fu Er Love Letter" currently has a score of 6.6, which is slightly lower than the 7.3 of "Peking Meets Seattle"."

After three years, the audience's aesthetics have changed. In fact, the three views of "Fu Er Love Letter" have been corrected, but the word-of-mouth has still declined.

The appetites of everyone sitting here have already been whetted, and everyone is staring at their phones in a daze.

Uncle Wu had no choice but to ask questions on behalf of everyone: "Then what is the score of "Love Letter from Heaven?"

"What the hell, "Love Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven" has a score of 9.2. How can a domestic romance film score such a high score?"
