Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 401: The theaters are begging to come!

In recent years, the box office of Chinese movies has been booming.

Now it seems that if a movie does not break one billion, it is not a good movie.

Of course, the proportion of bad movies breaking one billion is also very high, and in terms of word of mouth, it is common for standard popcorn movies to have disgusting plots and get bad reviews.

Two years ago, the box office of the zero point show was a few million, but now the box office of the zero point show is over [-] million, which is not uncommon.

On the contrary, the box office of the morning and noon shows went from bad to worse, and even the afternoon shows were not as good as the evening and midnight shows.

This also shows a problem from the side - there are more and more night owls in our country!
When the box office of "Baby Project" came out, the movie was still half an hour away, but the netizens who followed it online were already boiling.

"I wipe!"

"Really broke the record?"

"It's so scary!"

"Is this movie really that good?"

"The fan effect can't be so strong, can it?"

"No, I have to book a ticket to see it!"

"Sleep first! Waiting to see tomorrow's first-day box office!"

"It is estimated that the box office on the first day will not be low!"

"Maybe it will directly exceed [-] million?"

"Breaking [-] million? How much is this zero field? At least [-] million?"

"A day's box office determines someone else's box office for a month? This is too scary!"

"If this movie lasts, I guess it will sell for a lot of money!"

"..."

studio.

Looking at the data on the computer screen.

Li Zhifan was still in a dazed state, and looked back and forth at the data several times——

Movie name: "Baby Project"

Real-time box office: 6400.49

Attendance rate: 87.8%
Cumulative box office: 6400.5 million

Today's schedule: 43%
Showing days: 1 day

There are 2.1 zero-point games nationwide, with an average of 88 people per game, an average ticket price of 35 yuan, and a box office of 6400 million.

Although the film schedule is medium, the attendance rate is high, with an average attendance rate of 88 people per game, which has broken the highest record for commercial films in theaters.

Breaking multiple records in one hour is already a myth in the film industry.

If the box office breaks the record on the first day, the box office on the third day, the box office on the seventh day, and finally breaks the record again, it will be a legend.

The door of the office was pushed open from the outside.

Zhao Yiduo and a group of staff rushed in directly, with expressions of excitement, joy, and excitement on their faces.

"Zhifan! We won!"

"This result is against the sky!"

"6400 million, it seems that it will be easy to break through [-] million tomorrow!"

"congratulations!"

Amidst everyone's congratulations, Li Zhifan also got up with a smile and cupped his hands: "Happiness and joy! This is inseparable from everyone's credit, and thank you for your persistence all the way, including the support for me and the film itself. Here, I declare: All employees in the studio will triple their bonuses this month!"

"Oh! Thank you boss!"

"Great!"

The employees cheered again.

Among them, a little girl asked nonchalantly: "Boss, I, I...I want to go to the movies too!"

"oops!"

Li Zhifan slapped his head, "How could I forget about this? How can we not support our movie? Let's book tickets now and reserve the show! I invite everyone to watch the movie!"

"okay!"

A few employees immediately split up to act, but the rest of them still surrounded Li Zhifan, looking at him with a smile and looking at each other at the same time.

Um?Is there something wrong?

Li Zhifan thought for a while, then slapped his head again: "Oh, I forgot, it's getting late, except for the colleagues on night shift, everyone should go home and sleep!"

"How can we sleep on such an exciting night?"

Zhang Anda, the director in charge of the studio's films, said with a smile, "Boss, do you think we are holding a small celebration party internally?"

"Okay!"

Li Zhifan immediately agreed, "Then I will leave it to you to arrange it! I will inform everyone of the time and place after the arrangement is made!"

"No no no!"

Zhang Anda said, "I don't mean to make a big event, the film's official celebration party has already been set, but what I mean is, can we bring our employees to celebrate together?"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "So that's the case, why don't you... book a big room at KTV?"

"No need!" Zhao Yiduo said, "Boss Zhang and we have already prepared. We have champagne, snacks, and drinks. We are just waiting for you to speak!"

"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier when you're ready!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, "Then hurry up!"

At this time, several employees who had gone to book the movie tickets all came back.

Seeing their silence, Li Zhifan couldn't help asking: "What's the matter?"

"Boss! There is good news and bad news, do you want to hear that first?"

The little girl who said she wanted to watch a movie before still asked nonchalantly.

Li Zhifan couldn't help laughing at this routine: "Just say whatever you want!"

"Uh..." the little girl hesitated, "Then let's tell the bad news first, we won't be able to reserve the venue in the capital this month!"

"Huh?" Li Zhifan didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

"After listening to me, you will know the good news!" The little girl laughed, "The good news is that the pre-sale has already been purchased for the third week, because the fourth week's filming has not yet been released, so we can't book the show in the first three weeks. !"

"Does that mean they're all sold out?"

Li Zhifan said in surprise.

"How is that possible!" said the little girl, "Not all of them are sold out, but basically every show that can be found has been booked by someone, as many as a dozen, and at least three to five people!"

"so……"

Li Zhifan thought for a while and said, "Then you can talk to the hospital and have a private show for us, take some time!"

"Then let's ask!"

A few people turned around and left again.

Li Zhifan said with a smile: "Hurry up, we will open champagne in the meeting room after you get it done!"

The internal small celebration hadn't started yet, and the calls came in one by one.

Apart from congratulations, the most important thing was a phone call from Liao Feng.

"Zhifan! Hahaha, let me be happy for a while, hahaha..."

"Uh……"

Li Zhifan was dumbfounded and speechless, he didn't expect him to be more excited than himself, and when Liao Feng had laughed enough, Li Zhifan asked, "Say what you have to say! I still have a lot of things to do here!"

"If you tell me about this, you will be jumping for joy!" Liao Feng said mysteriously.

Li Zhifan didn't believe it, but he still asked: "Then tell me, and see if I can jump up!"

"That's it!"

Liao Feng said, "Do you know how many phone calls have been made to me since the painting started at zero? Uh... I can't count it. Basically, the theaters we cooperate with all expressed that they want to improve the film schedule!"

"That's a good thing!"

Although Li Zhifan was happy, he didn't jump up directly.

"Then do you know what is the highest mention in the filming schedule so far?"

"How many!"

"you guess!"

"Don't guess, you can just say it!"

Li Zhifan really couldn't wait to know the answer.

Liao Feng said word by word: "Yida Cinemas used to only give 40.00% 70.00 to arrange films, now they want to directly increase it to [-]% [-]!"

"What?" Li Zhifan couldn't jump up, but he was really startled, "You repeat, how much?"

"Haha, I knew you wouldn't be able to sit still!"

Liao Feng said, "The other companies also talked about the same thing. The lowest price was 60! And it was to give us a profit to improve the film schedule. Back then, we begged grandpa to tell grandma to schedule the film. If they hadn't reached a distribution cooperation with China Film, they would not Maybe give us a good face, now? They are begging to sign a supplementary agreement with me, tell me, it’s really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don’t bully the young and poor!”

Li Zhifan really laughed this time: "Director Liao Da, how can you say that you are poor? At that time, they just didn't think you were the director, so they didn't like it!"

"So the poor is not talking about me, but you!"

Liao Feng said, "Zhifan, I really saw the right person. It is my honor to know you, and it is even more fortunate to cooperate with you! Oh, I don't know that I am a blessing from previous lives!"

"Got it!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said, "Director Liao, don't talk about it, this time the celebration will be more grand, and it will be held in the name of your Jufeng Film Industry!"

"Okay! Don't worry, the celebration party will definitely be done!"

What Liao Feng was happy about was not the celebration party, because it was a necessary procedure, but what he was happy about was that it was held in the name of Jufeng. In this way, Jufeng's reputation will continue to rise, and the stock market will inevitably go up again and again.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhifan walked out of the office.

In the meeting room next door, everyone has already started to make noise.

But after glancing at the meeting table, Li Zhifan was dumbfounded.

In addition to champagne, drinks and snacks, there are actually several boxes of instant noodles. Four staff members are violently dismantling the cardboard boxes and putting buckets of instant noodles on the table. The seasoning packet seems to be ready to soak.

Li Zhifan couldn't help asking in surprise, "What are you doing?"

One of the employees raised his head and said embarrassedly: "Dad, we have been busy until now, and we haven't had dinner yet, let's pad our stomachs first!"

"No... why didn't you go during dinner time?" Li Zhifan asked strangely.

"It's not that the movie is going to be released, we are too busy and don't have time to go!" said the employee, "Besides, you didn't go to dinner, how can we go? I can't bear it!"

When Li Zhifan heard it, he felt sad and moved, and immediately said, "Don't tear it down, order takeaway!"

"This……"

"No need? It's too early to call outside!"

"That's right, we have to get busy in a while!"

"Forget it boss, we'll kill you when you treat us!"

"Speaking of which, it's just a small internal celebration. Instant noodles are enough to fill your stomach. Anyway, there are snacks and champagne. This life is not bad!"

Li Zhifan was very moved when he listened to everyone's words.

He stretched out his hand and said, "Then you guys make a bucket for me too! I'm hungry too!"

"Hey! Good!"

Several employees giggled and got busy again.

"boss!"

At this time, a male employee came in from outside the door, holding a phone in his hand, "Boss Lin from Hengdian Studios is looking for you!"

Li Zhifan answered the phone, but he didn't know who the other party was, so he asked directly, "Boss Lin, I'm Li Zhifan!"

"Mr. Li? Haha, thank you for answering my call yourself!"

A flattering voice came from the opposite side, "Just now your employee called me and said they wanted to reserve the venue?"

"Yes!" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "I didn't expect this call to come to you!"

"Hey, it's okay! I'll settle this matter for you now. When do you want to watch it? How many times? I'll arrange it for you!"

"This..." Li Zhifan couldn't answer for a moment, so he said, "Why don't I let my staff talk to you, thank you Mr. Lin for your support!"

"Okay, let's talk about this little thing later!"

Mr. Lin suddenly changed the subject, and said cautiously, "Well, Mr. Li... Regarding the filming, can you talk to Jufeng? too low!"

40.00% Six is ​​still low?

It depends on what kind of movie is right. If it was "Baby Project" before it was released, it must be considered a high-ranking film, but for the current "Baby Project", it is really a bit low!
Li Zhifan just answered Liao Feng's call, so he naturally knew what Mr. Lin meant, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, this matter is under the management of the issuer. Why don't you go directly to Jufeng's people!"

"I found it, I just called!"

Mr. Lin said helplessly, "But they are not satisfied with the share we proposed, and they want us to go to China Film Group, saying that it is their cooperative distributor in the mainland, but you know, we are a private theater chain, how dare we go to China Film Group for such a thing , and I understand the rules of the industry, China Film is all in name!"

"China Film is not just a name!"

Li Zhifan said meaningfully, "They are indeed the largest distributor of movies in the Mainland!"

When negotiating with many theaters in the mainland, it relied on the resources and channels of China Film Group, and even some theater chains and local state-owned cinemas were directly negotiated by people from China Film Group.

But if it weren't for Jufeng's strength and weakness, it would be impossible to pull Zhongying's thick legs.

However, although the big thick legs are very useful, there is also a lot of wool that can be squeezed away, so in terms of the share ratio, the largest distributor in the mainland is China Film, which is much higher than Jufeng.

"I know! I know! But Jufeng can also talk about it? It will take time and effort for me to go directly to China Film Group like this. When the real negotiation is completed, I'm afraid the film will be released for two weeks!"

In fact, Mr. Lin knew very well that if China Film hadn't come to the door in person, they would only have given 20.00% of the film at the beginning.

If you go directly to China Film to increase the number of films scheduled, China Film will definitely take a cut of their share. The style of eating meat at both ends is exactly what China Film has always done, and everyone in the industry knows it.

Li Zhifan didn't intend to embarrass these theaters, and they needed to make money, who would have trouble with money?
But this is an opportunity, an opportunity to seize the right to speak, and it cannot be wasted.

So he smiled, "I don't know what the reason is at Jufeng, but let me ask for you! Mr. Lin, after all, we still have a lot of cooperation in the future. If you have money, everyone can make money! I will talk to Jufeng in a while." Get in touch, wait for the call!"
