457 Chapter 460, word of mouth fermentation

Monday to Thursday is the low box office period for all movies. Except for those holidays, the box office of most movies will have a cliff-like box office drop.

The box office of "Starlight Love" did not escape this reincarnation. After three days of box office exceeding 6000 million yuan, in four days, its box office was only more than 1000 million, an average of more than [-] million a day.

However, SSM is not in a hurry. They are looking forward to the arrival of Friday, when it will be another box office blowout event.

But Cui Minsheng was not in such a good mood. In four days, the box office of "He Who Came from the Stars" not only did not drop, but rose slightly. The box office has taken a big step closer.

Friday, eight o'clock in the morning.

Long queues have already formed at the entrances of major movie theaters across the country. Looking at the clothes of these audiences, a large part of them are suits and leather shoes. They are obviously office workers, and they actually skipped work to queue up to watch movies.

After a whole week of word-of-mouth fermentation, the potential of "He Who Came From The Stars" exploded in an instant, and even some office workers couldn't wait for the holiday, and would rather skip work to watch it.

The most incredible thing is that most of these movie fans are single and have no girlfriends, but... this is a love movie.

Hongda Plaza.

The top floor of the [-]-story multifunctional office building is where the Yanjing branch of Hongda Group is located, and all projects in Hongda Plaza in Yanjing are managed from here.

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Zhang Hongwen, the general manager of Yanjing Hongda, looked at the people queuing up at the entrance of the studio, but then he thought of something, and the astonishment disappeared. He shook his head and sighed.

"Adong, as the manager of the studio, I think you are here to apply for an increase in the number of shows of "He Who Came From The Stars." Without looking back, Zhang Hongwen asked calmly.

"That's right, Lao Zhang, I've been working as a studio manager for so many years, and I know what kind of movies can be popular. Director Shen Qiushan's "He Who Came from the Star" will definitely be popular, or it will be a big hit. Today is still Friday, if it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this time is obviously not enough." Zhang Dong said solemnly.

As a fellow of his own, Zhang Hongwen knew that if his old buddy was not very sure, this guy who was more than enough to defend the city but not aggressive enough would not find him rashly.

"Three or five movie halls, you can directly decide, and you don't need to look for me. Tell me, how many movie theaters will be added this time?" Zhang Hongwen turned around and asked with a smile.

"All." Zhang Dong said calmly.

"All?" Zhang Hongwen looked at his old buddy in astonishment. "Currently, there are four films playing in the studio, including the popular "Starlight Love". We have a contract with them, and Huang Liang's face has to be sold, so this is impossible."

"The other three films are close to being released, and it is normal for them to be released directly. As for "Starlight Love", their contract was signed by myself, and the filming rate is only 70.00%. [-]% of their theaters."

"However, I think we should strictly abide by the contract. [-]% is [-]% and the rest is given to "He Who Came from the Star". As for Huang Liang's face, Lao Zhang, how much do you think his face is worth?"

Zhang Hongwen looked at his old buddy in disbelief. He really didn't know how he dared to be so radical, but as the general manager, he should not make a decision on impulse, otherwise he would not have become the general manager.

"Huangliang's face is worth 1000 million, or even 2000 million. Although we are a theater company, offending such an entertainment company for no reason is also a big disadvantage. After all, Huaxia has five large theaters and dozens of small theaters. , the competition is fierce." Zhang Hongwen said calmly.

"From my professional point of view, "He Who Came from the Stars" will become a classic. Do you know what a classic is? Not to mention anything else, compared to the value created by classic films, Huang Liang's face is not as good as my ass. .” Zhang Dong insisted.

"Can you guarantee it?" This is not a time to be joking, he has said the pros and cons, but this old man still insisted, Zhang Hongwen couldn't help being moved.

"I will guarantee my career reputation." Without any hesitation, Zhang Dong issued the military order directly.

"I know you need to consider everything comprehensively. It will delay you for an hour and a half. You can watch this movie before making a decision." Zhang Dong took out a USB flash drive and inserted it directly into Zhang Hongwen's computer.

"Adong, it's not that you don't know me. I never watch such love movies." Zhang Hongwen didn't click on the file. He is the general manager, not the studio manager, and he has his own preferences in watching movies.

"Trust me, just read it once, and then make a decision." Zhang Dong still insisted, looking at Zhang Hongwen with firm eyes.

"Then...then I'll take a look." Zhang Hongwen glanced at his old buddy suspiciously. To be honest, if it wasn't for Zhang Dong, if he wasn't so persistent, Zhang Hongwen would never have watched such a romance movie, even if it was just a glance. .

Click on the file, and the theme song will sound first.

A faint and lazy voice sounded, and the beautiful melody made Zhang Hongwen relax all over.

"Yes, this is a classic theme song. This movie is worth looking forward to." Zhang Hongwen nodded inwardly.

Ninety-ten minutes later, the movie finished playing, the ending song had already dropped, and there was only a black screen left on the player, but Zhang Hongwen was still staring at the screen in front of him, his eyes obviously blurred.

With a triumphant smile on Zhang Dong's face, he didn't say much, just watched quietly.

Hey!
Two or three minutes later, Zhang Hongwen sighed softly, turned around slowly, and said, "Ah Dong, except for the contracted "Starlight Love", all other films have been downloaded, and now, immediately, all of them will be switched to play For "He Who Came From The Stars", you should also contact Shen Entertainment as soon as possible, we don't need any publicity company, we will cooperate directly."

"I'll report it to the head office immediately, not just us, I suggest that the entire Hongda Group theater chain, and all theaters follow suit."

Looking at Zhang Hongwen with a smirk, Zhang Dong teased, "Don't sell Huangliang's face?"

"His face is nothing, shit, I'm blind, idiot, I also see the potential of this film, these idiots, still want to suppress Shen Qiushan, Oscar director, music genius, they can suppress Go on, in the future, we need to be cautious about cooperating with such idiots, and also build a good relationship with Shen Qiushan, if they have a movie to be released in the future, we will contact them directly."

Zhang Hongwen was so angry that he almost lost the birth of a classic film because of Huang Liang.

"Then the proportion of the negotiation..."

"You can decide the maximum amount. If Shen's Entertainment still doesn't agree, tell me and I'll go to the head office to apply." Zhang Hongwen decided decisively.

At the same time, some theaters with a sense of business have begun to adjust the ratio of the projection halls. Just like what Shen Qiushan said, in front of profits, the so-called face will truly reflect its value.

Obviously, Huangliang's face is not even bullshit under the huge economic benefits.

Among China's five major theater chains, Hongda, Runfa, Chaoyue, and Zhongding's theater chains have all submitted applications to the head office.

As for Hengfa, which also belongs to one of the five major theater chains in China, although the application came to the head office like a flurry of applications at this time, Xue Minggui, as the vice president in charge of the theater chain, didn't even bother to look at it.

"Such applications are all rejected. An Oscar director, an action military director, what kind of love movie is he making, can he compare with SSM company? Besides, there is Lao Huang saying hello. This face must be sold. You should inform me that such an application will not be accepted. Also, don't disturb me, today I have an appointment for golf at the National People's Congress." Abandoning his secretary, Xue Minggui drove his sports car leisurely, and left the company in a hurry.
