I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 277 box office exceeded million, constantly breaking the history of this year's art film! (asking for monthly tickets)
The editor's voice was so loud that the chief editor, who was still explaining the information, couldn't help but look over.

When he heard what the editor said, his heart moved.

While listening, the editor took out a pen to write down the time and then hung up the phone.

When she finished writing the message, she looked up and saw the editor-in-chief standing in front of her. He asked seriously, "Has the Chinese crew of And Then There Were None responded?"

The editor-in-charge said excitedly: "Yes, we really did not choose the wrong company! You are right, Chief Editor, Chenxi Entertainment has some connection with the crew of And Then There Were None.

After we approached them, Morningside Entertainment helped them contact the crew of And Then There Were None, and they just called to say that all the members were willing to shoot the magazine cover."

The editor suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "By the way, Chenxi Entertainment has another request."

Other editors quickly said, "What's her request? As long as it's not too much, we can agree to it!"

"Yes, this is the first time that the magazine has contacted a foreign first-line star. Jinli has a lot of fans in Country Y. My daughter even took me to Fangfei a few days ago!"

The editor in charge of the contact quickly said, "It's a problem with the filming location. Chenxi Entertainment said that Jinli's health is a little poor and she is not used to traveling back and forth. They hope that we can set the filming location in China."

"This……"

The other editors looked at each other in confusion.

Even if And Then There Were None asked for higher pay for the stars, they could negotiate, but changing the filming location...

The editor couldn't help but look at the editor-in-chief who made the decision.

Their magazine is just a small one with limited funding. It doesn't have as many departments as first-tier magazines, and everyone has to do multiple things.

The magazine's cover design, shooting scenes, makeup style, and model movements are all designed by the editor-in-chief himself.

This is also the reason why the magazine is so busy, but no one dares to complain, because your boss is busier than you!
If I hadn't seen the gun version leaked online by chance, I would have felt that the Chinese-made "And Then There Were None" provided another angle of interpretation for the original work, and was suitable for publication in the "Movie Story" magazine.

Otherwise they wouldn't have tried to contact Chenxi Entertainment.

After a while, the editor-in-chief's decisive voice sounded: "Just follow their request, our entire camera team will fly to China together!"

After the editor-in-chief left, the other editors took a break from their busy schedules and gathered together to discuss the matter quietly.

“It’s not that the magazine’s cash flow is tight, we even paid salaries a day late last month.

Although our magazine sales are good this month, the payment collection is slow. Does the editor-in-chief have any money?

Paying for the flights and hotels for an entire filming crew is not a small amount of money.”

Some editors seemed to realize something and hit the nail on the head: "The editor-in-chief must have taken a fancy to Jinli's reputation. Don't forget that Fangfei's head office is diagonally opposite our office building.

At the beginning, when Fangfei officially announced that Jinli became the spokesperson for the China region, you have seen how crazy the fans were in trying to snatch the items endorsed by Jinli.

I was out wandering around in the early hours of last night and saw fans queuing up late at night to grab a single item. Damn the purchase limit!"

The other editors suddenly realized, yes!
Although the Fangfei main store across the street was popular in the past, it was not so popular that people had to queue up to enter the store.

Just because of Jinli, so many sales were boosted!
One of the editors suddenly said confidently: "After we return from the photo shoot in China, we will rent a small cart next to Fangfei and sell Jinli's cover magazines. I'm sure many fans will buy them, so we won't have to worry about the guaranteed sales!"

No wonder the editor-in-chief was willing to fly there in person with the team.

As long as Jinli agrees to take the photo, the magazine they launch will definitely make a profit.
-
Jinli didn't know that an unintentional help would be of great help to a magazine in a certain country.

After a day of waiting, they finally welcomed the box office sales of "And Then There Were None" on its first day of late-night slot at noon on the second day.

The box office on the first day was 500 million!

When this box office result came out, even the managers of the big cinemas were shocked.

When he heard this number, he almost thought that they were scheduled for a daytime slot!
Person in charge: "How much did you say?"

Staff: “Five million.”

Person in charge: "Tell me again, is this the box office revenue that can be generated by the sluggish late-night slots?"

Staff: "It is indeed the late night box office that created the box office. Yesterday morning the attendance rate of this film was as high as 80%!"

The person in charge's eyes widened: "How much did you say?"

Staff: “80%!”

The person in charge rubbed his temples and suddenly wanted to be quiet.

At the same time, yesterday's box office record for art films "And Then There Were None" was also refreshed to 130 million!

The box office data for art films suddenly dropped sharply, which was largely diverted to the late-night slots in theaters.

But even if it is diverted, the total amount brought is larger than before.

In the "And Then There Were None" work group.

After Deng Zexu announced the two box office sales figures, the actors all sent congratulatory expressions.

[What a surprise! It turns out that those sold-out numbers are real, not fake!]
Deng Zexu: ???

So you all think I bought it for show?
He is rich, but he doesn't spend it like this!

[Wait, wait! Add up all the box office of art films and late night movies, hiss - has our total box office reached 15 million?]
Jinli has been doing math problems recently and feels that her memory has become better than before. She can quickly recall the daily box office.

It has been online for less than 10 days, but the box office has already accumulated 1500 million!
Jinli's eyelids twitched slightly.

Although sales of 1500 million are not something worth mentioning for a movie, for an unpopular art film like "And Then There Were None", it is already creating history this year.

Isn't this much better than those summer movies that the theaters choose themselves?
You know, there are also some films in the summer season that only have sales of a few million per day. Due to poor box office performance, many screenings were cut during the day, resulting in only hundreds of thousands of sales per day.

But they were released late in the morning and surpassed the daytime data of those films!
Thinking of this, Jinli couldn't help but ask Sui Lingfang: "How much did the company invest in this drama?"

Sui Lingfang said: "This is a niche film. Chenxi Entertainment only invested 500 million. The rest was invested by Deng Zexu and Ren Changtao, which should be or million. Anyway, the overall scale does not exceed million."

Jinli felt relieved and smiled: "Based on this trend, No One Survives should not lose money."

Sui Lingfang said with certainty: "Not only will we not lose money, we will definitely make money, but I don't know how much."

Box office sales are not simply about looking at certain data and then telling investors how much money they will get.

Cinemas also have to participate in the revenue sharing. Also, because they are not popular films, there is no famous director or famous actors, so they have no advantage when negotiating the revenue sharing ratio with cinemas.

Therefore, the cinema's share of the profits from "And Then There Were None" will be higher than that from popular films, and 50% of the profits will be considered pretty good.

According to the 50% split, an investment of 30 million yuan would require a box office revenue of at least 60 million yuan to recoup the investment.

Moreover, they are new films online, which takes advantage of the freshness, but as time goes by, the audiences who should see them have already seen them, and subsequent box office sales will slow down.

Take the current popular movies for example, sales data have begun to slow down.

Therefore, in the end, the box office of "And Then There Were None" may not be as good as it was at the beginning.

By this calculation, "And Then There Were None" still faces considerable pressure to make its investment back.

But even so, Sui Lingfang's expression was still very certain.

Jinli heard the confidence in her words, and her mind was slightly moved. She said, "Sister Fang, do you have any other ideas that can help the box office grow again?"

She took the initiative to say: "You want to create more hot search topics, but will it be useful?
When there is too much publicity, the audience will also feel fatigued. Under intensive publicity, those who should click in to watch it have already clicked in to watch it, and those who don’t click in will not watch it. ”

Sui Lingfang smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Who said I was going to be a trending search? Don't forget that there is only one big cinema showing And Then There Were None.

It was just a late night slot, but it grossed 500 million. I don’t believe other big theaters wouldn’t be tempted.”

She specifically taught Jinli some things and asked her to learn from her.

"Chenxi Entertainment has no resources in the film and television industry. It was thanks to Deng Zexu's efforts that we were able to get a special line for art films and secure a late-night slot at a movie theater.

So this time, we can only ask Deng Zexu to act as a matchmaker.

The good thing is that Deng Zexu, as the director and investor of this film, will only work harder than us.”

Jinli sighed, and suddenly understood why some companies were so powerful and were fully capable of raising funds for the filming of a film.

But none of them chose to eat alone.

Facts have proved that only when we all share a community of interests can we work together and pull together to move forward.

As expected, after Sui Lingfang called Deng Zexu and told him her idea, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go set up a meeting right now!"

Be crisp and clear, without any wasted words.

Originally, Deng Zexu wanted to find an artist who knew Photoshop to make a few posters for "And Then There Were None" as the box office revenue exceeded 1500 million.

But expanding the number of theaters was more important, so he told Sui Lingfang about this matter, and Sui Lingfang immediately took it over and asked the company's artist to do it.

She joked, "Director Deng, I'm not saying anything, why don't we be a little more ambitious? It's only 1500 million, isn't it too early to celebrate?"

Deng Zexu shook his head vigorously: "No, no, 1500 million is already very impressive for our film, and celebrating is just a sense of ritual.

What kind of film is ours and what kind of film is theirs?
We started from a niche film and worked our way up step by step. We were born with a lack of development and naturally cannot compare with popular movies. To have exceeded 1500 million is already a very good result for an art film."

Sui Lingfang saw this and said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'll ask the artist to do it quickly today!"
-
Things went better than expected.

The late-night box office reached 500 million, shocking not only the crew and netizens, but also many people in the industry.

After this sales data was released, they just felt that their late-night slot was so useless.

After all, they are both big cinemas, but their late-night box office can reach 500 million, while ours is only 50!
With a gap of 10 times, it is no longer a question of making money or not, but a question of face!

So when Deng Zexu made appointments with the heads of major cinemas, everything went smoothly.

He did not use his father's connections, but made the call using his own phone.

When the person in charge heard that he was the director of And Then There Were None, his tone changed a little, and he became a little more enthusiastic.

Dinner date?

Okay, no problem!

How do you think today is?
The heads of major cinemas have learned that And Then There Were None has signed an exclusive screening agreement with any cinema in order to gain more box office dividends.

In other words, this film can be released online on all cinema platforms.

In that case, what are you waiting for? Sign the contract and go online!

Do they have to keep their own imported flop that only grossed 50 per day and broadcast it over and over again late at night?
As he drank and chatted with friends, Deng Zexu gradually realized the charm of being a director.

This kind of charm does not come from being in charge of the camera in the crew and becoming a god who has the final say, but from gaining the respect of the heads of major theater chains through achievements.

He had asked his father to help him before, but his father did not hesitate to use up their previous friendship and pushed him out.

At the beginning, the people in charge of these films were smiling and saying yes.

Later, when we talked about the box office schedule, he either said this or that and refused in a nice way.

Although Deng Zexu had expected this, he had to admit that he still felt a little aggrieved and insulted.

But now, watching the person in charge constantly complimenting him on his "ability", "a good father likes a good son", "a box office comeback", "hundreds of millions expected"...

Deng Zexu couldn't help feeling a little elated.

It still depends on strength!!
-
Just one day later, other cinemas started showing the movie "And Then There Were None" in the late night slot.

Netizens were the first to notice the changes.

[Hey, didn’t they say that all the movies of And Then There Were None in the next few days were sold out? Why can I still book tickets for tomorrow? Am I so lucky that I found someone else’s refunded ticket?]
[I just searched and I bought it too! What’s going on? Are there massive ticket refunds for And Then There Were None?]
[The case has been solved. Other theaters have also released And Then There Were None in the late-night slots. Go get it now!]
[Ahhh, I kept seeing the reviews for this movie. I'm so excited. I can finally watch it. I'm really looking forward to Jinli's hanging scene!]
……

In addition to focusing on the late-night slots, Deng Zexu has also recently been communicating with the person in charge of the first cinema that decided to introduce the film.

It has been ten days since And Then There Were None was released during the summer vacation, but Deng Zexu has not given up.

He still wants to broadcast this film during the day and compete for daytime schedules!
"Director Deng, it's really difficult for me to do this. The summer season hasn't even been over for half a month, and the daytime schedule has already been occupied by the three most popular films.

We can only schedule one or two screenings for the exclusive films we import sporadically, and we really don’t have any extra schedules for you.”
