I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 81 First Day Box Office
Early the next morning, Wan Qingshan came to Qingshan Film and Television Company.

"Chen Chen, how much is the box office of "A World Without Thieves"?"

Chen Chen, who had been paying attention to "A World Without Thieves" these days, replied without thinking, "Director Wan, it was reported in the newspaper that the box office of "A World Without Thieves" has reached 200 million in four days of release. It’s nearly ten million.”

Wan Qingshan frowned and asked, "Have any newspapers criticized "The True Meaning of Love" today?"

"No, but there are very few compliments."

There was neither criticism nor praise, which made Wan Qingshan a little confused.

But soon, he understood that it must have been China Film Group's greeting, so no one criticized "The True Meaning of Love", but they didn't give it money and they wouldn't praise it.

"So, are there any posts about "The True Meaning of Love" on the Internet?"

"Director Wan, there is only one premiere now, so there are only a few posts on the Internet. However, the reviews are very good, and they all praise the movie as very interesting and funny."

Wan Qingshan nodded and let Chen Chen go out.

Not long after Chen Chen went out, Li Yancheng came.

"Qingzi, I have done what you asked me to do. Online posts criticizing the postal remittance charges in "A World Without Thieves" have become popular, and there will be newspaper reports tomorrow."

Wan Qingshan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Li Yancheng to finish it so quickly.

"Brother Cheng, since you have organized the people well, I will give you another task. After "The True Meaning of Love" is released in two days, make this movie popular.

Remember, there are posts of praise as well as posts of criticism.However, praise posts are more popular than criticism posts, so don’t make it too fake. "

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he took out his check book and wrote a check for 5 yuan.

Li Yancheng took the check and said with a smile, "Qingzi, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it."

In the next two days, Wan Qingshan watched as the box office of "A World Without Thieves" exceeded 4000 million.

Then, "The True Meaning of Love" began to be released. Wan Qingshan led the crew to perform a road show in Beijing, and then had to fly to Guangzhou in the evening.

In order to compete for the box office, Wan Qingshan's road show plan is a bit crazy. After going to Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, he will go to Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and other major cities.

That night, after arriving in Guangzhou and checking into the hotel, Chen Kun and others were exhausted and did not go to bed. Instead, they huddled in the Wanqingshan room.

A few people sat quietly for a while, and Gao Yuanyuan, who couldn't stand the suppressed anger, asked,
"Director Wan, how much box office do you think our movie can earn on its premiere day?"

"It would be nice to have 400 million."

Chen Kun was stunned for a moment and said in shock, "Director Wan, 400 million is not only good, but 300 million at the box office on the first day is also good. No movie I have made in the past has a box office of more than 200 million on the first day."

"That's you. Director Wan's first movie "Selection" had a box office of more than 4000 million, and it was still a literary film." Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Once they started chatting, everyone kept chatting.

At around eleven o'clock in the evening, Wan Qingshan's cell phone rang on the coffee table.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and stared at their phones.

"Hello, Director Han."

Wan Qingshan looked overjoyed and said, "Okay."

"Director Han, thank you for your hard work. You have to keep an eye on the box office statistics late at night."

"OK, bye."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Kun immediately asked, "Director Wan, judging from your expression, the box office on the first day should have exceeded 400 million."

Wan Qingshan threw his phone on the sofa and said with a smile, "The first day's box office was 540 million, and today's box office is No. 1."

",,five,,500 million,,this."

Gao Yuanyuan was so excited that she couldn't speak smoothly.

The box office on the first day was more than 540 million. What is this concept?,,,

"A World Without Thieves" brings together big stars such as Ge You, Andy Lau, Milk Tea, and Li Bailian. It is also directed by the great director Feng Xiaogang. The box office on the first day was only 600 million.

There are only a few of them in "The True Meaning of Love", but there are more than 500 million...

"Director Wan, Director Wan, we are going to be famous." Chen Kun walked around excitedly.

"Baby in Love", which he co-starred with Zhou Xun, didn't have to compete with blockbusters, and the total box office was only 800 million.Therefore, before he thought that "The True Meaning of Love" could have a box office of 5000 million, he would be satisfied.

After learning that Wan Qingshan would release the film a week after "A World Without Thieves", he lowered his expectations again. A box office of 3000 million would be good.

Unexpectedly, "The True Meaning of Love" and "A World Without Thieves" competed on the same stage, and the box office on the first day could reach 540 million, which actually beat "A World Without Thieves".

"Congratulations, Director Wan, the first-day box office of "Hero" back then was only 880 million. Our movie, with a first-day box office of 540 million, must have a total box office of 8000 million no matter what."

Hu Jun, who was always steady and steady, could not hide his excitement.

Zeng Li, who has an elegant temperament, just congratulated with a smile on her face, "Director Wan Da, congratulations."

"Congratulations, the movie is doing well at the box office, and you will also benefit from it."

At this time, Chen Kun, who was a little less excited, asked, "Director Wan, how much do you think the total box office can be?"

"It's hard to say, because the early publicity is good, so the box office on the first day will not be bad. How much the total box office will be depends on tomorrow's box office and attendance rate."

Wan Qingshan poured cold water on it, but everyone didn't take it to heart at all. They only thought about the first-day box office of 540 million, and they were going to be so popular.

After they left, Wan Qingshan turned on the hotel computer and searched for "The True Meaning of Love" on the Internet.

Li Yancheng's efficiency is very fast, and "The True Meaning of Love" is very popular online.

Because of the popularity, many netizens commented below. They originally wanted to watch "A World Without Thieves", but the movie you mentioned is so funny, so I will go and watch it to see if it is really that funny.

While searching for news on the Internet in Wanqingshan, the first-day box office of "The True Meaning of Love" also spread.

Wang Zhongjun, who was already asleep, was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night.

"What, say it again."

"Mr. Wang, um, the news I found out is that the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" on the first day was 540 million.

As for "A World Without Thieves", since it has been released for a week, the box office is already a bit weak.In addition to the competition from "The True Meaning of Love", today's box office is only 520 million, down 80 from yesterday. "

After being stunned for a while, Wang Zhongjun said, "I know, you will tell Director Feng the news later."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Zhongjun turned blue.
"Fuck, what the hell, a movie made by a stupid young man with a background in art films and all mainland actors can actually beat Feng Xiaogang at the box office."

Previously, Wang Zhongjun was just angry that Wan Qingshan dared to compete with Feng Xiaogang, but Feng Xiaogang was a guaranteed box office, not to mention that Ge You and Liu Dehua also starred, so he didn't take "The True Meaning of Love" seriously at all.

Who would have thought,,,,

In the company of Enlight Media, Wang Changtian, who had been waiting for the first-day box office of "The True Meaning of Love", exclaimed after hanging up the phone, "It actually beat "A World Without Thieves". It seems that we can't wait until next year."

Now Enlight Media is the largest TV program producer in China and has no worries about making money.

But Wang Changtian knows through his connections that the TV station will implement the 'two-station merger' policy starting next year, and Enlight Media's interests will be greatly reduced by then.

The movie market was becoming more and more prosperous, so Wang Changtian made plans to enter the movie industry next.

He researched several major film production companies and found that the only profitable film companies in the mainland were New Picture Company, which owned Zhang Yimou, and Huayi Company, which owned Feng Xiaogang.

So he came to the conclusion that if he wanted to develop in the film industry, he needed a great director.

The three major directors from the mainland all have regular partners. The major directors from Hong Kong Island now look down on mainland companies, so Wang Changtian is eyeing Wan Qingshan.

It's just that although Wan Qingshan has proven himself in literary and artistic films, he has not proven himself in commercial films.

Therefore, he was still a little hesitant.

However, Wang Changtian saw the audience laughing continuously at the premiere of "The True Meaning of Love".

He no longer hesitated, no matter how much the box office of "The True Meaning of Love" was, he would cooperate with Wan Qingshan.

Although Wang Changtian didn't see what was good about "The True Meaning of Love", he knew that "The True Meaning of Love" can make the audience laugh, which is a good movie.

In his opinion, "The True Meaning of Love" would definitely make money if it didn't compete with "A World Without Thieves" first and later with "Kung Fu".

It just has to compete with two movies, so he should probably lose a little.

But he never expected that "The True Meaning of Love" with all mainland actors would actually beat "A World Without Thieves" at the box office on its first day.

This makes Wang Changtian unable to wait any longer and seek cooperation with Wan Qingshan next year.
