From traffic to movie star

Chapter 101

When Wei Xun and Chi Tang came out of the movie theater, it was snowing.

Chi Tang stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, and said firmly again: "Chuxue, it's a good sign, it means that your box office will definitely not be bad this time."

"I'd like to borrow your good words." Wei Xun said with a light smile, "I'll send you back first."

Chi Tang shook his head and refused, and said, "No need, I have a driver, you'd better go about your own business."

Today's premiere of "Wuwen Xidong", Wei Xun, as an investor, knows that tonight must be very busy.

At least the box office on the first day, as well as the film's word-of-mouth evaluation, need to be followed up at all times.

After watching Chi Tang get into the driver's car and leave, Wei Xun got into Mao Bin's car near the theater and said, "Go to Times Pictures."

Mao Bin started the car and asked, "How is it, Brother Xun, is the audience's reaction in line with expectations?"

Mao Bin is also very busy recently, so until now he has no time to go to the cinema to watch the finished film of "Wuwen Xidong".

"It shouldn't be wrong." While speaking, Wei Xun took out his mobile phone to open the newsletter, and searched for the latest news of Wuwen Xidong.

Reviews on the internet seem to be ok.

"I think "Wuwen Xidong" is super good-looking and strong, especially Shen Guangyao played by Wei Xun, which made me almost cry to death in the movie theater."

"I also kept crying, it's really a super heartfelt film."

"It's hard to imagine that Wei Xun is the screenwriter of this movie. I think the Shanghai Film Festival owes him the best screenwriter."

It's just that because it was just released, word-of-mouth of the movie has not yet fermented, and there are not many public comments.

Mao Bin looked at Wei Xun through the rearview mirror, and guessed that he should be reading the newsletter, and asked a little nervously: "Then you are thinking about it, how much can you get at the box office on the first day?"

Wei Xun smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to think about this, let's wait for the data after midnight."

In this time and space, the online ticketing system has just been launched, and the mechanism is not yet perfect.

People are even more accustomed to buying tickets in movie theaters, and there is no real-time box office update software like Maoyan.

Therefore, the calculation of the box office on the first day still has to wait for the summary of the data from the theater, and then distribute it to the film producer after the early morning of the next day.

Half an hour later, Wei Xun came to Times Pictures.

In the vice president's office, Hu Zhengxin and Lin Cheng from Huaying Media were already waiting for him.

Seeing him coming in, Hu Zhengxin immediately asked, "How do you feel?"

"The audience's response is not bad, and the evaluation on the Internet is not a big problem at present." Wei Xun said: "Mr. Hu, Director Lin, where are you?"

In fact, as investors, the three people in the office have already watched "Wuwen Xidong".

So what everyone asks is not how the movie is, but how the audience's evaluation is.

Hu Zhengxin said with a smile: "I went to the theater with my wife in the afternoon, and she cried several times. I think this is a good thing?"

"I didn't go to see "Wu Wen Xi Dong", I went to see "The Thief" by Tianguang Media." Lin Cheng said: "It feels quite satisfactory, there are no highlights, no wonder they have to adjust the schedule."

In fact, Tianguang's "Story of a Thief" was scheduled for the prime time in October at the beginning of the year.

But at that time, there was an action movie of the same theme from Dynasty Entertainment in the prime time, followed by two imported movies in November, so Tianguang Media finally decided to transfer "Story of the Thief" to the Christmas file.

It has not been released yet, and the file will be adjusted first. Obviously, Tianguang himself does not have much confidence.

It's just that during the Christmas schedule, "Despicable Thief" collided with "Wuwen Xidong".

Hu Zheng said in a mocking tone: "But I think Tianguang is quite confident in meeting us this time. The announcement of "Story of the Thief" also cost a lot of money."

"Wuwen Xidong" is a literary film after all, and literary films usually have a ceiling.

Tianguang Media's comedy action film "Story of the Thief" has its own advantages in the subject matter, and has avoided several blockbuster films, so it is very confident this time, and it is estimated that it wants to make a fortune in the Christmas file.

As for the other two low-cost romance movies, judging from the screening rate, it is impossible to kill them.

Because "Nothing to Ask" and "Story of the Thief" swallowed most of the film schedule, the two sides are currently evenly matched.

"If the quality of the film is not good enough, it will be a waste of money." Wei Xun said with a smile: "Let's wait until the early morning to see who can suppress who."

Lin Cheng glanced at Wei Xun in surprise when he heard the words: "You can hold your breath."

Wei Xun smiled, but said nothing.

After twelve o'clock, the statistics of the theater were completed and sent over.

The staff of Times Media walked in excitedly and said, "Mr. Hu, the result is out. The box office on the first day was 2700 million, and the score on the Petal Forum was 8.1."

There are 2700 million!
Hearing this result, Hu Zhengxin couldn't help being overwhelmed with surprise, and asked anxiously, "Where is Tianguang, what is the box office data for "Story of the Thief"?"

The staff member said: "The box office of "Story of the Thief" was 1200 million on the first day, and the Douban score was 6.9."

Completely crushed!

After the staff left, Lin Cheng smiled happily: "It seems that this Christmas time, it's time for us to eat meat."

On 12.21, that is, yesterday's movie premiered on Friday. "Wuwen Xidong" can get 2700 million box office on the first day, which means that if nothing happens, the box office can be nearly doubled on Saturday.

The box office on the first day plus the two-day weekend, it will definitely exceed [-] million in three days!
Calculated according to this trend, after more than a month of release, the box office will definitely be very impressive, maybe [-] million, or even [-] million!
Hu Zhengxin was also very excited: "It's not in vain for us to stay up late and wait until this time."

"You two, it's not tasty enough to eat only your own meat." Looking at the happy faces of Hu Zhengxin and Lin Cheng, Wei Xun said meaningfully: "Now that we are gaining momentum, it's time to consider parting with our own meat. "

Hu Zhengxin and Lin Cheng were taken aback when they heard the words.

Then I heard Wei Xun continue to say: "Contact the theater, give up two profit points, and directly tear up the filming of "Story of the Thief", what do you think?"

The box office on the first day has already come out. The lineup of "Wu Wen Xi Dong" and "The Thief Raiders" are similar, but the difference in box office is more than twice.

Under normal circumstances, "Story of the Thief" would definitely not be able to keep the current schedule.

However, theaters won’t slash movies the next day. According to this trend, it is possible for “Story of the Thief” to make a small profit at the final box office of over [-] million.

But if "Wuwen Xidong" is willing to take the initiative to give up a certain profit point at this time, then tomorrow's "Story of the Thief" will definitely plummet.

Wei Xun's move is really black enough.

And this is exactly the way Wei Xun planned long ago to use "Wu Wen Xi Dong" to sink "The God of Thieves"!

The box office market is so cruel, and the arrangement of films represents the basis of a film's box office, which itself is a life-and-death competition.

Hu Zhengxin was aware of the grievances between Wei Xun and Tian Guang, but he said without any hesitation at this time: "Okay, I'll go and communicate with the theater right away."

In order to tear up more films, even if you give the theater a little profit, it will only make more money in the end!
Lin Cheng said: "I will arrange for the media to be announced, and I must let "Wuwen Xidong" occupy the headlines of all major Internet tomorrow."

The dark horse movie that harvested 2700 million yuan on the first day, of course, we must promote it well!
