China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 10 First Day Box Office!

"Classmate Guan, how's your movie going?"

After getting on QQ, Liu Yifei took the initiative to contact her. She didn't know anyone at RB, so she was probably quite lonely. She chatted with Guan Ling through text messages, and then switched to QQ to chat in detail for a while.

"The release date has been determined, August [-]th." Guan Ling replied to QQ, "How are you doing at RB? Is it going well?"

"I'm fine. Sony takes it very seriously." Liu Yifei replied, "It's August [-]th. I'll be going back soon. I'll definitely go see the movie you made."

Guan Ling guessed that the little girl over there must be smiling.

"You are welcome to contribute to me at the box office when the time comes."

"It's quite incredible to say that we were both classmates in the acting department, but in the blink of an eye you secretly became a director."

"Xiao Liu is not even a senior student yet. He is already running towards becoming an international superstar. If you want to envy everyone, I will definitely envy you even more."

"By the way, I have a gift for you when I return home."

"what gift?"

"I'm going back soon anyway, so let's keep it a secret for now. I don't know if you like it, but I guess you might be happy."

"Then I'll wait and see."

"Stop talking, mom came to see me. There is an interview with Sony." The other side was offline.

The two chatted for a while and exchanged business blows.

In the following time, Guan Ling began to prepare his own affairs. He had previously set up a company called Lingyun Media.

It’s just an empty shell and must be formalized.

Guan Ling found a middleman and rented a space. These days, buying an office building for a company would result in a huge loss. It would definitely not be as much as the increase in the courtyard house, but after all, he had to have a place to stay.

Rent it first, it doesn’t cost much, for a multi-millionaire, it’s just a splash of water.

The company has to recruit people, and Guan Ling is in trouble. In his previous life, he could only interview actresses...

We hired several professionals, the most important being finance and lawyers, all of whom were recruited through headhunting. Guan Ling gave people interviews, but he couldn't ask any professional questions, so he was timid, so he finally hired a professional headhunter. Come to assist.

The resumes of the new recruits are quite good. Guan Lingkai's salary is also at a normal level, a little higher than the market price, but he invested 300 million in the company at once, which is stable and very attractive.

After a brief meeting, Guan Ling made one request to everyone: the province should pay the tax.

As for sleeping that shouldn't be done, Guan Ling didn't mention it. It was his private matter.

In early August, Guan Ling went to buy a house. Although he still had about 1000 million yuan, he was still stunned when he saw the price of the courtyard house.

Within the Second Ring Road, the price of a small courtyard of 900 square meters is 220 million, and the price of 800 square meters is [-] million.

"Fuck, what can I do with this little money?"

Guan Ling was full of energy. His previous joy of winning more than 1000 million yuan was poured cold water on him.

What about cheating?I can't help but some people reincarnate well.

I asked about the Guozijian street again, and found that there were almost no houses with a price lower than 2000 million. During the process of asking, the house seller also revealed the news that a rich man had just bought a house there, and there was a Nine Dragon Wall inside.

Finally, after asking around, I chose a house over Houhai, Xicheng District, North Second Ring Road. The price was a bit cheaper, 560 million, 150 square meters. The seller was eager to use the money, so Guan Ling paid for it directly.

This place is not far from Nortel, ten miles away.

After buying the house, Guan Ling suddenly felt like a stone had fallen to the ground. In this life, we will also stand in BJ.

In a few years, this will be [-] million.

Comfortable!

After returning to the dormitory, Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were both in the room, "Guanzi, what have you been busy with recently? Didn't you say that the editing of the movie is finished? Why are you still running out every day?"

"It's nothing. Recently, my second uncle who traveled to Taiwan suddenly contacted me and left me a legacy in BJ. He just received it." Guan Ling was talking nonsense.

Luo Jin's eyes widened and he was sore, "Why don't I have a second uncle like this?"

"You idiot. The man who joined the Chinese army in [-] and traveled across the ocean is already [-] this year. My second uncle and grandpa are still about the same. They don't believe anything." Zhu Yawen expressed contempt.

"Have you watched Seven Swords?" Luo Jin quickly changed the subject and complained, "Don't watch it, it's very annoying. The story is very ugly."

He went to see if there was anything similar to the scene in Green Snake, but he felt very uncomfortable.

Zhu Yawen took out a newspaper from the bedside and said, "I went to see Teacher Wang today and saw Old Monster Xu being interviewed. He came back smoothly."

"What interview?" Guan Ling was also very interested.

The movie is coming out soon, so this is a competitor after all.

Get the newspaper, Shanghai Youth Daily. "Word-of-mouth criticism is not important, Tsui Hark said with a smile: "Seven Swords" will be continued if the box office is high. 》

Xu Laoguai said that the box office of the movie in the mainland is currently good. The box office in the first weekend exceeded 2600 million, and Southeast Asia also took 4000 million. This is a very good start.

Mr. Xu also said that in fact, "Seven Swords" has completed the scripts for six sequels. As for the movie this time, it is just the tip of the iceberg. All your questions will be answered in the sequels, including "Seven Swords" and everyone's story. Character Relationships.

Listen, listen, the great director is different from others.

"I'm a little confused by the shit I ate this time. It's okay. I'll give you another pot and then I'll help you resolve your confusion."

Guan Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After a rough calculation, based on the box office of the first weekend, the final word-of-mouth reputation has indeed collapsed.Guan Ling became more confident.

Two days later, China Film Group contacted Guan Ling and held a premiere ceremony at [-]:[-] on August [-]th.

Guan Ling hurriedly contacted Fan Wei, Zhang Songwen, Dong Xuan and others. As the main creators, they must attend together.

Time came to August [-]th, China Film held a premiere ceremony for "The Uninvited Guest" at Xingmei International Cinemas. These days, the premiere ceremony is not only for publicity, but also to see the audience's reaction and score, thus Decide how to adjust the layout.

During this period, the topic of whether Dong Xuan is the most beautiful costume actress of the new generation has been very hot, attracting the attention of many male viewers.

There were quite a few people at the premiere, about two-thirds of them, many of them men.

As a director, Guan Ling needed to speak on stage, so he picked up the microphone and

"As a new director, I want to tell a story to the audience with my heart. Among the audience here, I believe that some things come from the word 'suspense' in suspense movies, and some want to be happy. I think Teacher Fan can bring everyone It’s like the laughter in the Spring Festival Gala, and some of it may be for the superb performance of our heroine... But I believe that none of you will feel bored when you come today! Because of this movie, he really... …very nice!"

The lights in the screening room dimmed and the movie was projected onto the screen.

The dragon logo lights up, and soon the main film begins...

The leading actors were all sitting in the middle row, and they were all here. It was their first time watching a finished film, especially Fan Wei. He was under pressure because he didn’t know what effect his performance would have in the end.

From the beginning, there were praises from the audience.

After the continuous reversal and continuous cutbacks, people's exclamations and exclamations appeared in the screening room.

"Why is this movie so full of twists?"

"Teacher Fan, who works at the anti-scam hotline, how can he be so good at acting? Isn't he completely different from the stupid thief in "A World Without Thieves"?"

"Everyone is evil, but there is not a single good person!"

"Did you see that the person who delivered the food seemed to be a director, directing and acting himself. He has good acting skills."

When there was a huge reversal in the setting, when goods were being traded, the sudden appearance of the child made the entire theater gasp, and everyone was silent for a while.

The plot of the movie ended quickly, and the final ending seemed to be a happy ending, but the audience was still unsatisfied. Someone wanted to pee during the movie, and they held it back.

The premiere was very good, and the audience rushed to tell them that this movie was the most surprising movie in August.

"Seven Swords" has collapsed now. It relies purely on its fame to attract people to the cinema. As for "Eye of Heaven", "My Mother Zhao Yiman", "Taihang Mountain", "North of Water", "Outside of Xiliang" "The Windmill" and the like cannot be played at all, and "The Uninvited Guest" suddenly became the uninvited guest in the August schedule.

At around one o'clock in the morning on August [-], Han Zheng called, "Director Guan, the box office is out on the first day. Can you guess how much it is?"

"80?" Guan Ling said blindly, and the kid was still guessing.

"Director Guan is too cautious. The box office on the first day was 190 million to [-]!" Han Zheng was much more excited than Guan Ling.

To be honest, Guan Ling is not very accurate about this box office concept. He only knows that "Crazy Stone" took in 3 million at the box office under the attack of "Superman Returns" and "Mission: Impossible 400".

Now calculated based on one month, it is 190 on the first day and 30 million in 6000 days. At a 4000% discount, it will be more than [-] million.

Guan Ling was shocked all of a sudden, and his thoughts may have something to do with Dong Xuan's performance that was advertised, and it might be reduced in the future.

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Mr. Han's call directly woke up Guan Ling. Guan Ling looked at the call record and hurriedly answered the call.

This was the first time Han Sanye took the initiative to call him since he met Mr. Han.

"Xiaoguan, you really didn't disappoint me!" Mr. Han was stunned by the first-day box office. Regardless of whether it was a flash in the pan or not, it was just the first-day box office. He pressed his head and thought, this movie can't lose money!
Next, leave it to time!

Mr. Han has high hopes for "The Uninvited" and requires the copying department to copy more movie discs. As long as the theaters are willing to increase the number of screenings, they will never be restricted due to copying discs.

As for Seven Swords?Shanghai Film is the distributor, and the investors of that movie are BJ Culture and Japanese and Korean companies. China Film has no share of the meat, but China Film actually has 35% of the profit share of "The Uninvited Guests". Thinking of this Han San I was a little unhappy. I invested 80 yuan at that time. Now it seems that despite making a steady profit, China Film has suffered a huge loss.My mood suddenly deteriorated.

On August [-], under the order of Mr. Han, China Film Group conducted an exclusive interview with Guan Ling. The title of the interview was:

"The Uninvited Guest" - a milestone in small and medium-budget genre films.

Regardless of whether it is a milestone or not, at least the box office of 190 on the first day, 210 on the second day, and 230 million on the third day is enough for China Film to operate for Guan Ling.

A milestone, just blow it!
